Chapter 512 The Archmage shines into reality


Chapter 512 The Archmage-Illuminating reality

"Abyss World" has been in closed beta testing for more than a month.

Because there is a VR brain-computer connection "Star World" in front of it.

So although this immersive method of using deep sleep is still a huge innovation, it is essentially acceptable to players.

Entering the game and tinkering around to test the game's performance and experience usually ends in a day or two.

Later, most of them will start to focus on improving their skills and the direction they plan to take based on the guidance of the mission and the communication with some NPCs.

"Abyss World" itself does not have absolute career restrictions, not even for mages who have an implicit 12-point mental limit.

Theoretically, as long as you can keep up with the progress, have a strong learning ability, and have six points of mental power, it's not like an orangutan can't learn magic, it's just that you'll get twice the result with half the effort.

In the same way, some people with amazing athletic talents will also perform well in the game. Everyone can find what they like and are good at, which is the main guide in the early stage of the game.

For humans, there is a huge difference between the enthusiasm that comes from doing random tasks and the things that one likes to devote wholeheartedly to.

The main reason why Wang Yi developed this game was to highlight this advantage.

Therefore, in the early stage, he did not rush to let this group of people do any pioneering and exploration. Instead, he relied on the guidance of NPCs and heroic spirits to let them find their favorite specialties and stick to them.

Those who like mining can specialize in mining. Now these iron ores are simple, but in the future there will be some magic crystal mines that require real skills. It is quite normal for pure mechanical mining to cause magic storms.

Forging is not as efficient as mechanization, but truly cutting-edge products are also handmade!

What's more, there is an operation such as inscription engraving that needs to be constantly changed according to the ebb and flow of magic power.

All these require effort to learn and adapt.

This is what Wang Yi wants players to do, instead of just becoming assembly line workers again.

He can produce batches of products using undead or machinery to achieve his goals. What he wants is the creativity and exploration ability of the players, as well as the endless 'inspiration'!

However, although Wang Yi has made arrangements, the early guidance is also step-by-step.

But after all, the difficulty and foundation of magic itself lie here.

In a month of game time, some people have worked hard to practice various combat skills, and they have become decent based on the player's own attributes. Just like fitness, the effect of hard training in the first month is definitely the most obvious.

Some top teams have even begun to capture Flame Dogs alive and drag them back as contracted mounts.

Even wealthy players like Qin Xiang who spend money to buy Flame Dogs still need to spend time finding an NPC to teach them riding and domestication skills alone, and finally find Enzo to complete the contract signing.

It can be said that the 3,000 players in the closed beta test of "Abyss World" at this time have each found their own gameplay and strengths.

However, due to the difficulty of getting started as a mage and the overall number of mage groups, the most shining moment for a mage at present is the strengthening of some furnaces by the Big Pineapple's "Solidization Technique" and the "Fire Strengthening" inscription by Gu Qianqian.

Whether they are closed beta players or cloud players, most of them have watched the video and know that mages do have potential and can turn decay into magic.

But this kind of ‘magic’ is more understood in the auxiliary.

There are currently no wizard-related battles, and no one has even demonstrated an attack magic.

The game has been played for more than a month, and the mage has not even let go of an attack spell for combat. Can you believe this?

Most of those magic courses, which many people think are boring, focus on some theories and techniques, but do not teach actual spell models.

According to the original words taught by the old master of Yaya tribe,

‘When you can rely on the theory in class and learn the first magic by yourself through books, it will be considered the entry point for the mage apprentice. ’

A mage who does not have the spirit of study and learning ability is unqualified!

It’s better to leave early to avoid wasting time!

So although Big Pineapple's 12 points of mental power has only touched the threshold of a mage, because of his performance, there are still a lot of companies wanting to sign with him.

Ali, Penguin, Kangaroo and even some groups from abroad have sent invitations to Big Pineapple.

And even though he is already a big game anchor and earns a lot of money, he is still stunned when he looks at the quotes. However, he has achieved financial freedom and has not agreed to either party, but continues to choose to cooperate with the 'Abyss Mineral Company' .

If you want capital, just cooperate with the company directly. You can just act as a partner...

Therefore, after "Abyss World" has been running for more than a month, the strongest attack method currently recognized is the 'heavy gun' blessed by magic.

The volleyball team is currently invincible.

And if you want to capture the Flame Dogs alive, you need a team that is extremely skilled in skill training. They can find excellent terrain and first neutralize the first wave of Flame Dogs' impact, and then slowly consume them.

There is also an Olympic archer who was the top 1024 in the mecha competition. He showed that the bow and arrow made of flame dog bones and animal sinews are powerful. Not only the power is huge, but also silent. When trained, it is easier to use than a heavy musket, but it only requires skills. Proficiency.

A wealthy man like Qin Xiang even staged a charge on the back of a flaming dog.

It can be said that various professions have bloomed with their own light and characteristics, making cloud players fascinated, and many people have therefore chosen professions in the later closed beta or public beta.

But the mage...

Although it looks noble and cool.

But it is currently a profession that cannot be entered into the combat system. In their spare time, there are mage apprentices who want to form a team to go out and have a look. In the end, it is of no use at all. They can only buy a gun and shoot together.

There hasn’t been a real mage battle scene in more than a month!

But now, Yoko's lame fireball technique that took him five minutes to come up with was okay. It was indeed quite powerful, but the preparation time was too long.

It's just a little prediction of the mage's ability in the future.

Well, if you can become proficient enough to fire magic within a minute, that would be somewhat useful.

But not as convenient as a firearm.

If RPG and other equipment are slowly opened in the future, it will be even more useless. It just saves money on ammunition. It takes too long...

But this idea has just appeared, and Gu Qianqian showed what it means to be a real mage!

Later, according to Gu Qianqian's guidance, Yoko could not directly outline the spiritual void, but the speed of the two-finger meditation was much faster. The key is that her spell model was significantly stabilized after being modified.

The original five minutes of unstable fireballs exploding in mid-air have been transformed into two minutes of stable fireballs comparable to artillery fire under Gu Qianqian's guidance!

Many students in the magic class nearby, as well as some mages who had not registered for class and relied on video cloud learning, were also rushing to ask for guidance.

"Master Qianqian, can you help me take a look too!"

"Senior Qianqian, am I right to do this?"

"Goddess Qianqian..."

Gu Qianqian, who had always felt stupid under the attack of teacher Wang Yi, finally found some pride in being a magic genius.

But she didn't get carried away.

Give advice to others?

Yoko is my friend, what are you?

"Just let you guys watch it. Questions and learning are waiting to be asked to the teacher. It has nothing to do with me."

She came to the game to play and learn magic, not to be a nanny.

It’s none of my business if I don’t know how to cast spells...

"Yes, if you can't learn to cast even the most basic magic independently, then there is no need to continue to waste time on the path of being a mage..."

At this time, an old man from the Yaya tribe with red skin also came to the surrounded scene.

The robe on his body fully illustrates his identity as a mage, but no one has seen this NPC before. However, it can be seen from the gorgeousness of his robe that he may have a higher status among the mages who teach. Up...

Chapter 734

Zhabo is the elder of Jaya civilization and the person with the highest level of magic among the Jaya people.

Before, his mental power had reached the critical point of the Archmage threshold, but he was still unable to break through due to the guilt of civilization and race in his heart.

After Wang Yi showed up and showed his power and chose to convert, he gave up his obsession on the spot and finally took this step, leaping from an official mage to an archmage.

At the same time, he is also responsible for leading some operations of the Yaya people.

It can be regarded as one of the special NPCs that can act alone.

Wang Yi did not make any special requirements for him, and also gave up a lot of authority.

Basically, it is to complete a 'more realistic' interaction and serve as a hidden NPC that triggers the plot.

This time he also felt the magic fluctuation here and took the initiative.

It is worthy of being the Lord’s dependent family, worthy of being a civilization capable of giving birth to gods.

There are people who can achieve this level of proficiency in such a short period of time.

He had also heard some explanations from the girl before, and he already had his own unique insights into the understanding of magic. He was very spiritual and had a strong ability to explore, which were very rare qualities for a mage.

And in addition to the exploration ability, the other party's spiritual talent is obviously also superior, a natural mage seed.

This made Zhabo couldn't help but reveal a kind smile

"Young man, do you want to learn magic from me and become my disciple?"

As soon as the great mage showed off his pomp and pretentiousness, he even asked if he wanted to become his disciple.

It immediately caused a burst of whispers from nearby players, and cloud players also left comments in their respective live broadcasts.

"One look at this old man's mage robe, it looks so expensive."

"Is this a hidden NPC?"

"I have never seen it before, but I have heard that there is a great mage elder in the Jaya tribe who is responsible for some matters related to the operation of the camp. It cannot be him."

"Arch mage, you are very powerful, right?"

"Good guy, the interactive ability of this game is indeed strong. Does this trigger a hidden plot?"

"Benefits for the first caster?"

"Are you awesome? In exchange for mathematics..."

"..."

When Gu Qianqian heard the old man's words, she couldn't help but be stunned. She looked up and down suspiciously, and then waved her hand in disgust

"I have a teacher."

Hearing that Gu Qianqian actually refused, many players nearby were amazed.

reject?

This is obviously a hidden mission!

Don't give it to me!

Even Zhabo felt a little surprised, his expression was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled kindly

"There is no conflict between the teachers in your world and ours. This does not affect you. Do you want to learn more about the mysteries of magic and open the door to arcana?"

As Zhabo spoke, three-dimensional magic models that were formed instantly appeared in his hands, showing his strength.

The surrounding rich magic power surged, and a fire dragon hovered in the air and roared.

The scorching temperature directly causes nearby players to lose blood through the air!

There was an exclamation of surprise.

Then the fire dragon dissipated, and a storm formed by thunder and lightning appeared in the sky above Novice Village. The roar of lightning and a few randomly falling ones hit the flat ground where the fireball technique had been practiced, directly creating several more terrifying cracks.

Gravel splashes!

The splashed dust seemed to be slowly swirling under a strong wind, and then became more and more obvious, sucking in the surrounding dust together, forming a majestic tornado.

The wind howled in my ears, causing my skin to ache.

The strong wind caused by the aftermath caused nearby players to stagger around with shock on their faces. Some of them were afraid of pain and had to lower their pain perception.

As the flames entered the tornado, the dusty tornado was suddenly ignited, forming a flame tornado with a radius of several meters.

Coupled with the thunderstorm accompanied by lightning, it really shocked the players nearby.

Damn it!

I thought that Gu Qianqian's fireball technique was already awesome, but I never expected that the mage could reach this level!

The destructive power and visual effects are too exaggerated!

The graphics engine of this game is so powerful!

In a demon-rich environment like the abyss, even the low period of the magic tide is enough for an archmage to display magnificent spells.

Zhabo also showed off a lot, and then dispersed the flame tornado and the thunderstorm in the sky.

His face looked calm and calm.

"The journey of magic never ends. A qualified mentor can avoid many detours on the road to exploring the mysteries of magic. You are very talented, and I don't want to see you waste your talents..."

Even Gu Qianqian was amazed when she saw this magnificent spell.

I never thought that the magic of this world could reach this level!

Because her mental power is high enough, she can more clearly feel the violent magic fluctuations in the previous magic.

Good guy, can this be simulated by a game?

Although I always felt something was wrong before, there must be something wrong with this game...

"How about it? Have you considered it?"

Seeing Gu Qianqian's surprised look, Zhabo was also very satisfied. His magic must have completely shocked her, so she should know how to make a choice.

However, at this moment, a low and hoarse voice came here, and a terrifying pressure made all nearby players feel an inexplicable sense of panic

"Zhabo, what are you doing."

Following the sound, I saw Enzo, who was lying in the Silver Fortress Square, stood up at some point and looked here coldly.

As he spoke, the entire sky turned fiery red in an instant.

The magical agitation caused by far exceeding that caused by Zhabo before covered all the nearby skies!

The air is filled with a burning sensation, like the baking of lava, and the player's skin can clearly feel the heat and dryness.

Enzo doesn't know much about fine magic control, but he used to be a legendary abyss lord, and now he has entrusted his divinity in the Hall of Valor, condensing the position of a false god.

This kind of improvement is not comparable to that of Zhabo from a formal mage to an archmage.

Just a slight movement creates an apocalyptic scene, which is extremely appropriate to match the environment of the abyss itself.

Zhabo, who was originally showing off his magic skills, suddenly trembled like a wolf, recalling the scene when Enzo led the abyss army into Yaya Civilization.

His forehead was covered with sweat and he was shaking.

The fire-colored vortex in the sky, which was enough to encompass the entire Novice Village, kept spinning. The huge sense of oppression made Zhabo immediately bow and say

"Lord Enzo..."

"Shut up! My name is Cerberus!"

"I'm really sorry, Your Majesty Cerberus!"

Zhabo suddenly crawled to the ground, causing the players who were also feeling fear and pressure to start eating.

"What the hell!"

"I thought this was some big boss, but it turned out to be a minion."

"Enzo is so good. I used to lie in the square like a mascot, but I didn't expect him to be so hanging."

"This special effect, this picture, explosion!"

"Is this the legendary Lord of the Abyss? Is the setting too strong? If it was so strong, New York would have been in trouble."

"The game settings, this is an abyss, the magic is strong, it's normal."

"When I saw the mage's tricks before, I felt that the mage was going to cut it, but Enzo made a slight move. It was so exaggerated. Shouldn't this be magic, right?"

"Can Enzo be trained as a mount?"

“Isn’t the Hall of Valor that can tame Enzo more interesting?”

"..."

Various players and cloud players expressed various exclamations.

Enzo's performance during the Battle of New York in the opening credits of the game was actually quite strong.

But compared to the rampage of magic triggered by just one sentence, the gap in 'special effects' is still too big!

That guy used to just lie in the square looking like a lazy dog.

How could I expect to be so strong?

With just a few moves, there is no opponent...

Chapter 735: Reality

When the players had already started whispering and having a heated discussion.

At this time, Zhabo was lying on the ground, soaked in cold sweat.

What's going on?

Why did the lord suddenly target me?

I just act in accordance with the Lord's will. When I see outstanding magic seedlings, I start a small business and provide targeted guidance!

"Oh, put away your petty thoughts, I know your thoughts clearly."

The whirlpool of flames in the sky covered the entire Novice Village, the air around was scorching hot, and cracks seemed to appear on the earth!

It seems that as long as the flames in the sky are suppressed, everyone in the entire Novice Village will have to receive lunch boxes.

While Enzo was activating the surrounding magic power, he couldn't help but curl his lips.

When he became a pet dog, he had met Gu Qianqian, who was his master's disciple!

What the hell are you doing? Are you also qualified to accept the master’s disciples as students?

Facing Enzo's sudden warning, Zabo was confused, but he had no choice but to retreat.

Originally, I wanted to come here and show my face, accept a few of the Lord's family members as disciples, and lead them on the path of magic. When humans rule the world in the future, I might even be able to become an emperor master, but I didn't expect that I would reveal it a little bit. After hearing the secret of magic, Lord Enzo immediately pinned him to the ground.

This made Zhabo have no choice but to crawl away and return to the Silver Fortress after confessing his crime.

At this point, Enzo calmed down his momentum, lay back on the square, opened his mouth and yawned.

But at this time, everyone's expressions changed when they looked at Enzo.

This is not some kind of mascot at all, but a real lord of the abyss!

At the scene, only Gu Qianqian had been shocked by the previous agitation of magic power.

Is that substantial tide of magic really a pure simulation of the virtual world?

"Looking for an opportunity, I have to ask the teacher about the situation..."

Gu Qianqian muttered.

But currently, except for Gu Qianqian, even a mage apprentice with 15 points of mental power like Yoko doesn't have a very intuitive feeling.

You can feel the fluctuations of magic power, you can feel the magic power running around and the tidal feeling.

But because the clarity was not as good as Gu Qianqian's, I didn't feel there was anything wrong.

At this time, more people were still discussing Zhabo's previous performance and Enzo's attitude in pushing the opponent down with gusto.

The previous magic effects were so awesome!

"Enzo is too strong..."

"Shut up and call Lord Cerberus."

"I remember, when I was chatting with the instructor NPC, I learned that their civilization was destroyed by the abyss army led by Enzo."

"Yes, this is the background of the game. When Reality Abyss invaded, it was mentioned as a destroyer of civilization."

"So this Archmage Zhabo is so humble in front of Enzo?"

"..."

Today, both the onlookers and the cloud players watching through the live broadcast felt that they had gained a lot.

In fact, mages have always been jokingly called 'postgraduate entrance exam professions' by other players because they still need to learn mathematics, magic numbers, and various magic-related knowledge.

The common ridicule to mage players is, ‘Why don’t you go to the postgraduate entrance examination? ’.

This phenomenon did not change even after Big Pineapple began to cast spells and solidify it.

First of all, there are too few players who can release magic independently at this stage. Secondly, even Big Pineapple's solidification technique takes a long time to release, and it only exists as a 'logistics minister'.

But today, the words 'Master' completely flooded the screen in the game.

Whether it is game forums or related short videos and Weibo topics, they are all related to Master Fa.

From Yoko's lame spellcasting at the beginning, to Gu Qianqian's fireball bombardment like a tank main gun, to the 'special effects attack' from the great mage Zhabo later.

Finally Enzo came forward and Zhabo surrendered.

This gap deeply stimulates all players and cloud players.

"Warrior? What is that? I'm going to start teaching myself magic!"

"Is there any sorted instructional video? Please send one, for a fee!"

"I'm a little curious about why Enzo suddenly suppressed Zabo. He had acted very harmlessly before."

"It should be that Zhabo started to accept disciples, making him feel threatened?"

"It may be necessary for a certain plot, you can pay more attention..."

"..."

Through the continuous performances of Yoko, Gu Qianqian, Master Zabo, and Lord Enzo, the future path of magic is almost fully reflected in front of everyone. It can be said that the enthusiasm of players for magic has once again been radiated.

But unfortunately, unlike warriors, knights, shooters and other skills, you can find NPC teachers and pay money for guidance.

On the mage side, except for the people in the mage class who can ask some limited questions, it is impossible to find other mage for advice on weekdays!

The effect of someone's targeted guidance has actually been reflected on Yoko's side.

In the beginning, she was able to release the fireball technique with a lot of bumps and bumps, but after making certain improvements under Gu Qianqian's guidance, her efficiency improved rapidly.

After Gu Qianqian made it clear that she didn't know how to teach, other players could only look for NPCs and those who ranked high in the class.

As for Big Pineapple, the content of the recent live broadcast has been changed, answering some questions from the funder’s dad and giving some demonstrations!

It has to be said that although Jiang Bo only has 12 points of mental power, his learning ability and hard work are still outstanding. He is also among the best in the class, a head higher than Yoko...

……

"It's a total foul on the mage. I'm really convinced. It's not balanced at all."

In a gym, Lu Yi could not help but complain while watching the live broadcast while pumping the iron.

He is a closed beta player, but he does not stay in the game all day long. He is a fitness expert and has not changed his good fitness habits.

A good body can allow you to play longer.

The fact that he can pick up the game so quickly and become the first team to capture the Flame Dog is inseparable from his daily training.

"Old Lu, why don't you hurry up and catch the Flame Dog? Time is money."

A coach who was familiar with Lu Yi came over with a smile and also started playing iron next to him.

“You can’t catch all the Yan Dogs, and you can’t make enough money, but your health is more important.”

"Come and practice?"

The coach asked tentatively.

In addition to various equipment, this gym also has a small free fighting ring. The coaches here also teach boxing and Sanda.

Although it is not that formal, it is indeed practiced.

The curator is also a retired professional player.

"Okay, this game is good, but after playing it for a long time, I feel uncomfortable when I come back. I still need to do some exercise."

Lu Yi laughed and put down the equipment after completing a set of training, then changed into protective gear and bumped his fists.

The sparring here attracted the attention of many people nearby. Some of them looked over while rubbing the iron, and some simply came to the side to rest.

"Good guy, Brother Lu is really self-disciplined if he doesn't seize the time to make money."

"Brother Lu, we are going to grab a spot in the closed beta test. You are going to make us rich."

"Yeah, just have a sip of soup. I think the game is very profitable."

"Lao Li, please don't hurt our brother Lu, just hold back and beat him."

"..."

Various teasing voices appeared, which showed that Lu Yi was still somewhat popular in the gym, and he was also a good person.

Otherwise, there would be no way to win a team in such a fiercely competitive closed beta test.

"Why are you holding back, are you just looking down on me like this?"

Lu Yi smiled and cursed and climbed onto the ring.

Although his skills are much inferior to those of Lao Li, he is still in a heavyweight class and can still fight back and forth.

"Don't worry, I will have to ask Lao Lu to take me with me in the future. Come on, let's see if you have regressed during this time."

Lao Li and Lu Yi bumped their fists, and then made standard movements to prepare for the test.

Lu Yi, who was originally maintaining a sense of nervousness, suddenly felt a sense of disharmony after looking at Lao Li's movements and his fists. He always felt that something was not right about him, and that he seemed to have exposed a lot of flaws. .

At least he, an amateur, couldn't see these flaws before, but now it feels so obvious.

Unconsciously, he thought of starting paid training with NPC instructors in order to capture the Flame Dog.

Because the game characters are thick-skinned and strong, they are paid to practice almost continuously.

Wherever there is non-standard, where there is a need to do it, it is all done through beatings this month. There is no need to consider issues such as strains or physical wear and tear. One day of high intensity can at least be regarded as a week's worth of training in reality.

The footwork, responses, and routines taught in training at this intensity are completely integrated into my bones.

And now, although his real body is not as strong as the one in the game, he has naturally started to make some subtle adjustments. When Lao Li came over to test the punch, he instinctively ducked sideways and subconsciously hit the target with a backhand punch. On Lao Li's cheek.

The unexpected heavy blow and force directly knocked Lao Li to the ground, and he couldn't get up for a long time.

The teasing and laughter around them all stopped for a moment. They did not expect that such a dramatic scene would suddenly appear in a match that was originally evenly matched, or rather Lu Yi's defense.

Lu Yi was also in a daze after KOing Lao Li with one punch. He stood there blankly, raised his hand and looked at his gloved fist, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

What I just said was...

Have you used the training in the game?

Phew~

Wait, it may be an illusion, take a deep breath, take a deep breath...

Slowly, he thought of the instructor's teachings in the game again, and began to adjust the introductory breathing of the knight's breathing method. Soon his mind calmed down, and his body felt a lot more relaxed.

Ah, this...

————

Update completed~

Originally similar to training, high-intensity training in the first month is when the greatest improvement is achieved, which can almost form a qualitative change. In addition, in the game, players do not need to consider physical pain and practice to the death, so the effect must be outstanding. of.

But after all, the physical strength in reality does not match the game, so it is more about reaction and force exertion skills, which will not improve the physical quality in reality. ​
