Chapter 2 This is genuine!
In the sky, a hurricane roared, causing red clouds to billow.
After a thunder, black lightning crawled across the sky like a spider web, disappearing into nothingness after a few seconds.
On the earth, continuous volcanoes erupt violently, and the red fire snakes winding down swallow all life along the way. The air is filled with the smell of sulfur and scorched earth. The ridge of the highest peak is glowing with blood under the dark red waning moon, like a flame slashing into the sky. The serrated sword seemed to be piercing the thick sky.
Countless terrifying monsters roam the world.
Xieqi, who has eighteen heads and is as tall as a mountain, a frost giant whose breath can freeze thousands of miles, and Redwing Ming, who spreads its wings and can fly thousands of miles... In addition to these creatures at the top of the food chain, there are countless mouths that can swallow mountains and rivers. Rivers, terrifying monsters that stamp on the ground and change the landscape of the earth.
This is an ecological chain composed of countless terrifying creatures.
His eyes turned to the earth, quickly descended and zoomed in, and finally settled on a dilapidated village, and then the scene was shrouded in darkness from all around.
When the darkness dissipated, Li Zheng found himself suspended in front of a towering blue crystal wall, and a prompt sounded in his mind:
[Welcome challengers to the monster world, please start creating your initial character. 】
"Monster World? Isn't the Novice Village in the Dark Land the Dark City?"
Without thinking about this issue in detail, he just thought that the Eclipse clan had changed the game settings that were exposed a few years ago.
The bird's-eye view just now and the current character creation environment made him realize that he had really downloaded the cracked version of "Dark Place".
The excitement in his heart cannot be expressed in words. He got the game that cost others 128,888 yuan, but it took him an hour to download it.
Welfare staff really pay out benefits!
He no longer doubted the authenticity of the game.
How can any scammer spend a lot of money to create a game with such a high level of realism?
If the previous CG experience was to be more deceptive, the cost of this spoof would be too high.
In the input field for creating a name, he used the virtual keyboard to type in the words "Game Brick Party". After pressing confirmation, the huge grid-shaped crystal wall in front of him quickly zoomed in.
Most of the grids on the wall are empty, and only grids 1-3 at the bottom starting position contain ugly and ferocious monsters.
What was imprisoned in Cell No. 1 was a humanoid stone statue with bat ears. It was squatting on a half-meter-high stone pier. Sharp fangs.
The monster imprisoned in Cell No. 2 is an owl-like creature with flaming red wings. Its sharp claws are constantly digging into the crystal wall of the containment cell, making a harsh friction sound.
Contained in Cell No. 3 is a large snake with black scales all over its body. It is entrenched in the holding cell and swallowing snake messages.
[Please select the initial state. 】
Li Zheng looked at the first monster, and the monster's detailed information emerged.
【Gargoyle】:
Initial level 1:
Initial properties:
Physical fitness: 7 (determined by comprehensive physical values such as strength, stamina, durability, explosive power, etc.)
Mental strength: 5 (affects mental recovery, spell casting speed, spell strength)
Elemental resistance: 5 (affects the final determination of elemental damage)
Origin Ability: Petrochemical (Active)
Ability introduction: After using the ability, it enters an immobile petrified state, which greatly reduces the damage of any form of attack. The specific effect is affected by physical fitness.
……
His eyes turned to the eagle-headed monster and the big snake next to the gargoyle.
【Eagle Headed Demon】:
Initial level 1:
Initial properties:
Physical fitness: 3, Mental strength: 8, Elemental resistance: 4
Origin Ability: Roar of Resentment (Active)
Ability introduction: Turn on the perception perspective to provide early warning of nearby dangerous situations (murderous intent, hostility, aura, fluctuations). The duration and warning range are affected by mental strength.
【Black-armored snake】:
Initial level 1:
Initial properties:
Physical fitness: 12, Mental strength: 1, Elemental resistance: 2
Ability: Poison (Passive)
Ability introduction: Any form of physical damage is accompanied by a poisoning effect, causing continuous damage to the target.
……
Li Zheng was lost in thought as to how to choose.
There are three initial ability options. The abilities of the gargoyle and the eagle-headed demon need to be actively triggered, which continuously consumes mental power. In contrast, the ability of the black-armored snake can be triggered by any form of physical damage, which is obviously more suitable for novices.
With a certain idea in his mind, the monster figures in grids No. 1 and 2 disappeared, and the black-armored snake in grid No. 3 quickly enlarged in front of his eyes.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sound of the violent beating of the heart gradually became clearer in my ears.
At this moment, the black-armored snake in the picture suddenly raised its head and rushed towards him.
Li Zheng was so frightened that he subconsciously raised his hands to resist.
But the pain did not appear. When he opened his eyes, he found that the scene had changed, and he had a black cloth that came with the game.
Looking around, nearby is the dilapidated village that was last seen in the CG screen just now.
The outside of the village was shrouded in thick black fog, as if it was blocked by some mysterious force and could not penetrate into the village, but strange sounds could be clearly heard in the black fog.
The cries of nighthawks, the chewing sounds of broken bones, hoarse whispers...all kinds of weird sounds echoed over the village.
Turning his head to look, Li Zheng was immediately startled. He found that there was a black-armored snake silhouette more than one meter in length floating behind him. He took two steps to the right, and the black-armored snake silhouette moved along with it.
Focusing his eyes, a large amount of information flooded into his mind, followed by internal images of his body.
In the picture, he could clearly see that his spine had turned into a star-studded vein like the Milky Way. The top of the spine was his image of the real world, and the first groove downward was inlaid with a glowing black circle. The ball has the shape of a black-armored snake inside.
[Challenger Name: Game Brick Party]:
Main form: human
Forging Level: 0 (Inherited Life Soul Attribute: 0)
(Tip: Every time you increase the forging level by 1 level, you can perfectly inherit all the attributes of a monster form in human form)
Star Vein Mosaic (Level: 1):
No. 1 Mosaic Position, Black-armored Snake Life Soul Lv1 (Characteristic: Poison)
(Tip: You can freely switch monster forms through the star vein function. In monster form, you can get a 100% attribute bonus. Increasing the star vein level can increase the number of souls embedded in monsters)
……
"Star Pulse Switch?"
With doubts, Li Zheng touched the first inlay slot of the star vein with his consciousness.
Suddenly, a strong numbness surged from the spine to the limbs, and the body also twisted and changed under the surge of power.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Vision dropped rapidly.
Looking down, he was surprised to find that he had turned into the black-armored snake that was floating behind him just now.
At the same time, he could clearly feel that his physical fitness had increased, and even his vision became clearer.
This game...is a bit perverted, but I like it!
Switching back to human form, Li Zheng, who already understood the preliminary settings of the game, looked around.
Driven by curiosity, he began to test the authenticity of the game.
Li Zheng was amazed by the feedback that was indistinguishable from reality: pinching his face, shaking his hands, pinching his arms.
Then he squatted down, picked up a gravel on the ground, slowly crushed it with his fingers, and felt the powder slipping from his fingertips.
"Damn, this game is so awesome!"
Simple test, perfect real feedback, no faults can be found.
But what puzzles Li Zheng is why there are no other players in the game, and he seems to be the only one in the whole village.
It stands to reason that "Dark Land" has been released globally. Judging from the sales popularity, it is only right that the Novice Village is full of players.
Are different players separated into different game channels? What I am on is just a new channel that has just been opened?
Just when Li Zheng was thinking about how to explore the game, the space beside him distorted, and a light blue water ball appeared.
After ripples appeared on the surface of the water ball, it showed a serious expression, looked at him and said solemnly:
[Evil spirits are rampant, fear is coming, and the monster world under the rule of Emperor Zhao is invaded by the terrifying black tide. After receiving the power given by Emperor Zhao, you need to shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving the world. Please go to the monster world immediately to hunt for the lost original power of Emperor Zhao. , contribute to the reshaping of Emperor Zhao's true body. 】
As he spoke, the light blue water ball transformed into a right arm and stretched out towards him:
[I am your novice guide in the monster world, you can call me your guide. 】
Li Zheng, who was a little confused, stretched out his hand to hold the palm transformed from the water ball.
[From now on, we will be buddies. If you don’t understand anything, you can always ask me. 】
When Li Zheng heard this, he reached out and grabbed the guide in his hand. After rubbing, kneading and pinching it, he exclaimed:
“It feels great!”
[Fuck you, uncle, if you do this again I will go on strike! 】
"The novice guide can still work, shouldn't it be an AI beast driven by the player?"
[Your whole family is the best in AI. If I’m not happy, I’ll go on strike! 】
Realizing that by offending the novice guide, he would lose an important auxiliary tool in his novice stage, Li Zheng immediately let go and allowed the guide's water polo to fly aside, and then decisively gave in and apologized:
"Sorry, I was wrong."
[Kneel down and admit your mistake. 】
Looking at the guide water polo with an arrogant expression, Li Zheng looked helpless:
“I don’t understand why the Lunar Eclipse clan would design such a user-friendly guide for beginners.”
While complaining, he suddenly thought of the suffering brothers who were still waiting for his feedback outside.
He immediately looked at the guiding water polo and asked:
"Guidelines, how do I exit the game?"
[It's very simple. Call the "Function Panel" in your heart, and there will be a teleportation function on it, which can help you return to the real world. This process requires 30 seconds of waiting. You cannot be harmed during this period, otherwise the teleportation will be interrupted. 】
"Understood!"
Follow the instructions in the guide, and the scene in front of you is gradually shrouded in darkness as the transmission countdown counts down.
A strong feeling of weightlessness came over him, and Li Zheng shouted excitedly in his heart:
"Good brothers, this time we have real meat!"
