Chapter 2 Grandpa! You are my biological grandfather
Could this be the Novice Village? Why is it so dilapidated? There is not even an NPC figure. Will any players come here? Even if the game stopped running soon, the villages in the game would not be designed like this. Ji Xiaoyan said that this problem gave her a headache. Without players, it means that even if there are artifacts, no one will buy them, and there will be no federal coins... Walking along the village avenue, there are pawn shops and drug stores on the street. The doors of the tailor shops were closed, and you could faintly see spiders and ants crawling on the house. After walking around for most of the street, I didn't even see an NPC, let alone a player. What I have to say is that the sense of immersion in this game is still very strong. It is very real in the game. It feels like you have a brand new body in another brand new world. This kind of novel experience was only available in the previous life. You can only do YY in novels. Walking to the well next to the blacksmith shop, Ji Xiaoyan finally sat down on the ground in frustration. She was going to ask customer service how to continue the game in this deserted place. Don't ask her to search online. Do you think "disciples of the Beggar Clan" like Ji Xiaoyan are capable of learning how to enjoy that kind of service? Even eating is a problem.
After researching for a long time, Ji Xiaoyan gave up. She couldn't find any of the system buttons she was looking for. I played a lot of online stand-alone games in my previous life, but they were all keyboard operations. Now this looks like a holographic online game written in a novel. You must know that the difference between high-end goods and low-end goods is not ordinary. With the mentality of still giving it a try, Ji Xiaoyan muttered, "Help..."
No response.
Continue, "Game Help..." Still no response.
If I continue, "Customer service help..." there is no response either.
Ji Xiaoyan was silent. She suddenly felt that it was terrible to be uneducated. If she could understand what was supposed to be the instruction manual in the box, how could she have ended up in this situation. The book will definitely introduce that the bracelet will be bound as soon as it is put on, so she will not wear it. The book will definitely introduce game play help and the like, so she won't be trapped in the game without knowing anything and can't even get help. In fact, Ji Xiaoyan did not expect that if she could really understand it, then she would definitely sell it directly and still wear it, then she would not enter the game at all, and there would be no subsequent problems.
Ji Xiaoyan buried his head in frustration and drew circles on the ground, thinking that if he really couldn't get out of the game, he would probably die of starvation. The previous owner of the current body was a very introverted person, with basically no friends. He went out to make a living every day, or stayed in the hut. After being occupied by Ji Xiaoyan, this fine tradition was continued again. Who said she didn't know anything? If someone knew that there was a new soul in her body, she might not know how she could die again. Eating the food stored in his ex's house, Ji Xiaoyan slowly learned to live here and gradually understood the world after observing for a long time. Therefore, she closed the door as soon as she returned home with the box in her arms. Basically, no friends would come to her, let alone care about her. Even the monthly protection fees were paid half a year in advance when I was lucky in the past few months. So maybe she died with only bones left, and no one would find out yet.
Ji Xiaoyan felt that she was so cowardly that she didn’t even know how she died in her previous life. The cause of death is known in this life, but even the body collector doesn’t know when he will return. So when she was feeling sad about spring and sad about autumn, Ji Xiaoyan heard a heavenly voice that was comparable to the savior.
“Little doll, where did you come from and why are you here?”
Ji Xiaoyan suddenly raised his head, and then saw an old man with a white beard in front of him. She suddenly felt that the hope of her life had come, and God had not given up on her. She had never heard such a beautiful sound in her entire life. Ji Xiaoyan quickly stood up and patted the dust on his buttocks, looking at the old man in front of him with some tears of excitement in his eyes.
"Wow, grandpa, you are my biological grandfather!" Ji Xiaoyan almost ran over excitedly and held the old man's hand and said, God, you are my savior.
Diloc feels that life is indeed full of surprises. He is the village chief of this novice village numbered 2329347. It has been more than six years since adventurers came to their world (more than a year in the real world, 1:6 in game time). The Lord God issued a decree saying that there would never be so many adventurers coming at the same time in the future. Therefore, resources need to be reorganized. Some villages were closed, and the indigenous people in the closed villages were managed by the superior townships, assigned new duties and tasks, and relocated collectively. The village of Dilock was also one of the villages planned to be closed down. Other people in the village started leaving half a year ago. He was notified last month to report to his new workplace and the arrangements were made. I just returned to the village today, planning to pack and take away the things I didn't take away from home last time. Because after dark today, the village will be closed directly, and you can never come back. Who knew, when I came back, I saw a little girl sitting by the well. What was even more surprising was that the child was very excited when she saw him and said that he was her grandfather, her biological grandfather.
Ji Xiaoyan finally learned a lot about adventurers under the guidance of her new grandfather. The aborigines all knew some of the equipment configurations of novice adventurers. First of all, many of the things she wanted to know were written in the "Adventurer's Manual" contained in the bracelet on her hand. As for game settings, pain settings, exiting the game, etc., just press and hold the small red stone on the bracelet, and a transparent dialog box will appear, and then you can modify it yourself. Of course, you can also set it For voice recording, just recite a sentence in your mind. Nowadays, many people set it up like that. After all, it is much more convenient and faster than pressing gems. Therefore, Ji Xiaoyan directly set it to the voice setting. The most important thing is that this game is very popular and is not about to be shut down as she thought. As for why he was assigned here, Dilock said that this is the arrangement of the Lord God. Well, Ji Xiaoyan could only say that maybe we were just a little unlucky at random times. After all, her luck today was not very good. She had no idea that the novice village in this game could be selected by looking at the screen. For the sake of convenience, the beautiful NPC who picked her up didn't let her choose her birthplace at all. She directly helped her choose the nearest novice village by default.
This game is called "Qi", and it is a holographic online game sold by Shengshi Times Group. The game went live just over a year ago. It is an epoch-making work, because previous games were not holographic games. The most advanced ones were semi-immersive games. Even if you enter the game, neither the face nor the limbs are as real as holograms. It is said that the technology of this game was promoted by the multinational federation in order to discover more talents. Holographic technology is in the hands of the state and is used to train all kinds of talents to survive and skill in different environments. After all, talents are rare. If you are really released for training, you will be injured or die. What a big loss. Later, the federations of many countries didn't know what they thought, and they united to form the Shengshi Times Group to develop this technology into an online game and put it into the public domain. In this way, more talents of all kinds can be discovered in the game. Therefore, after several years of development and research, it was finally put into operation at the end of New Era 1008 and opened to the public. "Initiation" is controlled and run by the main brain "Light". All the players in the game are intelligent NPCs. NPCs can give players hidden tasks or rewards outside of tasks according to their own preferences. Moreover, Shengshidai Group stated that there will be no administrator in the game, and everything will be hosted by "Light". And, the most important thing is that the game currency federal currency can be exchanged with each other, and just pay a 0.1% transaction tax. As a result, the game became popular immediately, and the lowest level connection bracelet was sold for 100,000 federal coins while the game was running. Later it slowly dropped.
As for Ji Xiaoyan, what she picked up was a game connection bracelet that had been reduced to 50,000 federal coins. In fact, 5W is relatively expensive. Of course, if Ji Xiaoyan knew this, she would nod in agreement. For 5W, she could have paid protection fees for more than 40 years. As for the NPC village chief, although he could tell at a glance that Ji Xiaoyan was an adventurer, this identity issue did not affect the man who was defined by the Lord God as having no children in his life at all. He was very excited and happily accepted her. For granddaughter. Village Chief Dilock thought, this child calls him grandpa, maybe this is the arrangement of the Lord God! Think about it, the village will be closed soon. Logically speaking, the Lord God will not send any more adventurers here. The beasts outside the village for adventurers to improve their strength have long since moved to other villages. If adventurers come, how can they improve their strength without the beasts? The village chief cannot let them leave the village without improving their strength. So, smart NPCs are still very cute, at least that's what Ji Xiaoyan thinks. If it hadn't been for the arrival of her new grandfather, she might have been trapped here. Because the village was going to be closed after dark, Dilock asked his new granddaughter to help him pack his things, and told her that he would take her to the new town with him after finishing the packing. When the time comes, he would go to the government hall to get some justice and handle it for her. With an ID card, she can live here in the future. Ji Xiaoyan had no idea that what the NPC village chief told her was completely different from what she understood. She thought that newcomers had to apply for ID cards before they could start the game.
So, after working for a long time and picking up a lot of junk, the village chief Dilock took Ji Xiaoyan and resolutely left this abandoned place amidst the rotten leaves swirling in the autumn wind. Xinshou Village. (End of this chapter)
