The Taurens around him were basically the same as Zou Zhuo. They were jumping excitedly, and a few of them were playing with their tails.
Hmm, it seemed like everyone liked the Taurens!
There were quite a few players in the beginner's area, but there weren't that many either. In fact, the Mirror Image technology was used to screen the players into different areas to ensure that the beginner's area wouldn't be overcrowded by players.
Each server of the VR version of World of Warcraft could support 10,000 players at the same time. In fact, the total number of players in the server should be much higher.
There were a total of eight races. If 1,000 Taurens appeared at the Red Cloud Terrace at the same time, the scene would be unsightly.
By then, there would be a sea of Taurens. It would be difficult to even squeeze in front of the NPC to accept quests, let alone kill monsters and complete quests.
However, even with the Mirror Image technology, there were still a lot of people, or rather, Taurens.
Zou Zhuo saw a dozen players surrounding a Tauren with a yellow exclamation mark on its head, ready to accept a quest from it.
The NPC named Gruul Hawkwind waved his hand impatiently, signaling the surrounding players to step back. He then said loudly, "Okay, I don't want to repeat the same quest dozens of times, so all you newbies, listen up.
"Welcome to Naraqi's camp. Perhaps many of you will soon be welcomed to the big city on Thunder Cliff, but first, you have to prove your abilities.
"We Taurens who live on the Red Cloud Terrace are proud of our excellent hunting skills. Now, we don't have much meat in storage, and we need feathers to make clothes. Now, go and hunt the nearby Plain Birds to supply the village. At the same time, you can prove your abilities. "
As soon as the NPC finished speaking, Zou Zhuo saw a quest interface pop up in front of him. There were detailed quest objectives and rewards written on it.
Zou Zhuo chose [Accept], and the interface disappeared. Zou Zhuo opened his adventure manual, and there was indeed a quest called [Begin Hunting].
"This NPC's intelligence is quite high."
Zou Zhuo realized that this NPC wasn't like other online games where he just stood there foolishly. He would just pop up a quest interface for any player that passed by and be done with it.
When the players handed in and accepted quests from this NPC, they completed it through dialogue. It was a real dialogue with voice.
Moreover, when he had nothing to do, he would not just stand there foolishly. Instead, he would be busy with his own things. If a lot of people surrounded him to accept the quest, he would still shout out the quest and send it to every player nearby.
Zou Zhuo flipped through the mission log. This mission was very simple. It only required him to collect seven pieces of bird meat and seven tufts of feathers. The quest reward was quite ordinary, two pieces of white equipment.
However, it was the first mission after all, so why would he need a bicycle?
Zou Zhuo, Lin Xue, and Old P were still in the same party at this time. Zou Zhuo looked around and found Lin Xue standing not far away in a daze, flipping through her adventure book.
Zou Zhuo asked in the team channel, "Where are you, P?"
Lin Xue was speechless. "Fatty, are you stupid? Old P is playing Undead, which is completely different from our spawn point. "
Only then did Zou Zhuo remember. "Err … Old P, you'll have to level up yourself. Come, let's complete this quest first. "
Lin Xue was shocked, "Little Fatty, who are you talking about? My breasts are really big now! "
Zou Zhuo looked at her and realized that she was right. This cow's breasts were quite impressive, probably the largest in all of Azeroth … But other than her breasts, the rest of her body … Ugh, forget it, it hurts my eyes.
For the sake of efficiency, the two of them split up to look for chocobos. These chocobos were scattered all over the grassy plains, and there weren't many of them. Zou Zhuo finally found one after running for a long distance, and rushed over to it and smashed its head.
The combat was the same as in other next-generation VR games. You could do whatever you wanted, and the actual damage dealt was calculated based on the physics engine, not just some numerical damage number.
Hitting different parts of the body would deal different amounts of damage to the monster, and there would also be additional debuffs.
Zou Zhuo smashed the chocobo's head with his hammer, causing it to become a little dazed. He then followed up with two more hits. The chocobo finally reacted and tried to turn around to peck at the little fatty, but the little fatty dodged to the side, and then followed up with another smack to end the battle.
After killing the chocobo, Zou Zhuo bent down to pick up the chocobo's meat and feathers.
Zou Zhuo originally thought that he would have to cut open the meat and pluck the feathers himself, but he didn't have to, he just had to pick them up from the corpse. On second thought, this was actually to simplify the player's controls. Otherwise, every time they killed a monster, they would have to use a knife to cut open the meat and pluck out the feathers themselves. That would be too much of a hassle, and most players didn't want to do that.
Of course, there were people who used a knife to cut open the monster's body, but that was skinning.
After completing the quest, Zou Zhuo successfully leveled up to level 3, received a pair of chainmail gloves, and put them on.
Wearing chainmail felt pretty good, and it gave him a sense of security. The only thing that annoyed him was that the gloves were green …
Zou Zhuo had long since noticed that the Tauren race seemed to have a special preference for green. The NPC that gave him the quest wore a green vest and green pants, and now the gloves he was wearing were also green. What the hell …
As he continued to do the quest, Zou Zhuo discovered something inhuman.
That was … the quest's specific location wasn't marked on the map.
The first quest was easy, all he had to do was kill a few chocobos, and he could see them just by looking at the plains in the distance. But the quests after that became a bit more troublesome. Some required him to run errands, some required him to collect items. There was also a quest that required him to first read a note, and then find the corresponding NPC.
Fortunately, these quests required him to talk to the NPC face-to-face when he received them, so Zou Zhuo didn't stuff the quest item into his inventory and run off like an idiot. Instead, he followed the NPC's instructions to complete the quest.
Even so, it was still quite troublesome. Many of the NPCs he needed to find didn't have their locations marked on the map, so he could only rely on the few words on the quest description to determine their approximate location, and then search for them.
But it wasn't like there were no instructions at all. The map would indicate a general area, and all he had to do was search within that area.
