The game was being greatly modified, and the officials were announcing the progress every day. On the first day, the cute monsters in the leveling area had been fixed, and the disgusting wild boars and wolves had been removed.
On the second day …
On the third day …
The players were eagerly waiting. Even though the last open beta had only lasted for half a day, everyone had experienced the unprecedented feeling of a holographic game. This time, the anticipation was even stronger than before. Gu Fei was no exception. The first thing he did when he got home was to check on the game's modification progress. Finally, there was a place for him to show off his skills. Gu Fei often woke up with a smile in his dreams.
As there were too many adjustments to be made, the wait lasted for a month. Xiaowu's proposal had been approved, but it would be a lot more work to complete it. So the game company decided to gradually add these in future updates, and the game would be relaunched first.
Gu Fei had classes that day, so he immediately went home after class and entered the game with anticipation. He hadn't felt this kind of eagerness in a long time.
When he went offline, he was still in the wilderness outside the city, but now he was sent back to his birthplace: the Mage Academy. Did he have to start all over again? Gu Fei looked at his level. It hadn't changed, still level 6. The coins he picked up the other day were still in his money bag, and the two rusty meat knives were still in his waist.
Looking around, he found that the mages were gathered in front of an NPC, waiting in a long line. Gu Fei confirmed that the guy wasn't selling spectacles and brooms, so he queued up curiously.
"What are you doing?" Gu Fei asked.
"Learning skills!" The person in front of him turned around and glanced at Gu Fei.
It turned out that in order for the players to have the ability to protect themselves, the changes this time purposely lowered the level requirement for learning skills. They could get their first skill for free when they were born, and every six levels, they could learn the next skill of the profession. So now, the players in the Mage Academy had to buy spectacles and brooms, and they had to do this job.
The queue moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Gu Fei was already in front of the NPC. Talking to the NPC, Gu Fei had already learned the first skill of the mage. There was nothing new about it. Fireball seemed to always be the first skill a mage could learn. However, Gu Fei was already Level Six. In addition to the Fireball skill, he could also learn a second skill: Ring of Resistance. If Fireball was the main attack skill of Beginner Mages, then Resistance Ring of Fire was the main skill that Beginner Mages used to protect their weak bodies.
However, as a holographic game, the use of spells had some characteristics.
In the middle of the Mage Academy's wide square, thousands of people gathered together and shouted in unison, "Fireball!!"
A fireball immediately ignited in front of everyone, floating in the air. It was a spectacular sight. All the mages were beaming with joy, but Gu Fei noticed that the person beside him had a pale face, as if he had suffered a huge shock.
"Shoot!" No one knew who took the lead to shout, but everyone immediately followed suit. The sound of "Shoot, shoot, shoot" rose and fell. However, the Mage Academy was an absolute safe zone, and the use of combat skills such as spells was prohibited here. Although the order to "fire" was issued, the fireball did not move. Gu Fei couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"
"Damn it!" The person cursed and added Gu Fei as a friend. "Look at my name."
System Notification: Fireball has added you as a friend.
Gu Fei immediately laughed out loud. So this person's name was Fireball. No wonder, thousands of people shouting at the same time made him feel nervous.
At this time, people kept learning their first spell, so people kept shouting "Fireball" in the middle of the square. The fireball beside Gu Fei couldn't stand it anymore. He called out to Gu Fei and prepared to leave.
"Hehe, I'm leaving too, it's so noisy." Gu Fei followed behind him.
The two left the Mage Academy together and walked towards the leveling area outside of Cloud Cloud City. On the way, Fireball complained to Gu Fei. It turned out that when he received the account from someone else, he had already chosen the class and name. Gu Fei suddenly felt that they were in the same boat. However, Fireball didn't care about this at first, but after experiencing the scene of thousands of people shouting at the same time, he had some complaints about the name. He thought about how in the future, when there were mages in battle, shouting "Fireball" would obviously distract him, no matter friend or foe! At the moment, he could only hope that "Fireball", the lowest level spell, would be forgotten by people in the later stages.
Gu Fei couldn't help but share his feelings with Fireball, and more or less shared some of the tragic experiences of being forced to use a mage. Fireball didn't understand Gu Fei's internal reasons, and only thought that he didn't like the mage class, so he continued to talk about the glorious history of mages.
In any case, Gu Fei had a good impression of Fireball, because he was one of the few mages who didn't wear black-rimmed glasses and carried a broom.
The two chatted as they walked, and in the blink of an eye, they were already outside of the city.
The changes to the game's main menu had already begun to take effect. At this time, the city was filled with wild wolves and wild boars, and with the lessons learned from the mistakes of the past, these small monsters were made to look disgusting, and they belonged to the type that one would want to beat up at a glance. This greatly encouraged the players to level up. The mountains and plains outside the city were filled with people, chasing the wild wolves and wild boars, and killing them. Unfortunately, the strength of these wild wolves and wild boars was not proportional to their image, and under the crazy suppression of the players, they could only offer a meager strength to fight back. For a time, the supply of monsters couldn't meet the demand, and as soon as one spawned, a dozen players immediately surrounded it.
Fireball's blood was boiling, and he took two steps forward, shouting, "Fireball!"
A fireball slowly rose in front of Fireball.
"Shoot!" Fireball roared.
And so, Fireball shot out.
With a "pu" sound, Fireball hit a wild boar that was being ravaged by the players in front of him. Sparks flew everywhere, and with the smell of barbecue, the wild boar fell to the ground.
"Beautiful!" Fireball clenched his fist, praising himself for being so accurate on his first shot. But at this time, the players who were just surrounding the wild boar turned their heads together to look at Fireball. Their eyes were clearly looking at a creature that was even more disgusting than the wild boar.
"Hello everyone!" Fireball waved at the crowd.
"Kill stealing! Uncultured! "Fireball's greeting was met with the scolding of the other party.
"Ah? This, aren't you guys just casually fighting? " Fireball was confused. There were clearly more than a dozen people attacking it, so why did it become kill stealing the moment it made a move? Didn't the kill belong to whoever killed it?
"Are you blind, can't you see that we are from the same guild?" someone shouted.
"Guild?" Fireball looked at Gu Fei blankly, and Gu Fei was also confused. The game had just started, so no one had the ability to create a guild!
The group nodded in unison, and one of them shouted, "You steal our Defiant Guild's kill? Do you want to die?"
There was no other guild with a name more heaven-defying than this one. However, Fireball showed no fear in the face of this group of heaven-defying players. This surprised Gu Fei a little. Fireball looked straight at the crowd and said calmly, "So what if I kill steal? What can you do to me? I'm only level 1! "
Gu Fei laughed. No wonder this guy was so righteous! Because he paid attention to the official website every day, Gu Fei also knew that this change was in response to the violent incident that he had experienced last time. Players who were protected by PK would be immune to skills. Even if they were hit, there would be no corresponding pain. This change also included the player's own attack methods into the scope of PK. This meant that if a fight like last time happened again, Gu Fei wouldn't be able to blind his opponent's eyes, and even if he was hit, there would be no pain. At this time, Fireball was relying on the protection, ignoring the powerful players in front of him.
But those who dared to call themselves overpowered players still had the spirit of being overpowered. Seeing Fireball's fearless attitude because he was level 1, he wasn't discouraged at all, and rushed forward.
"What are you doing? I'm level 1! Level 1! Level 1!!!! " Under Fireball's repeated cries, his four limbs were grabbed and lifted into the air. One of them shouted, "Hang him on the tree over there." His suggestion was immediately rejected, "Just throw him into the river over there!"
The official website didn't say whether or not he would be protected by PK if he fell into the river. Fireball was anxious, and struggled with all his might. But he was a Mage, and even if he was a Warrior, he wouldn't have a chance in this situation. Fireball was like an offering prepared for the gods in an ancient tribe, and was raised high into the sky. He looked around, and saw Gu Fei, and immediately shouted, "Aiya, who's that? Save me!"
Gu Fei nodded, and quickly rushed forward, and stopped in front of the crowd, "Everyone, let's talk slowly. Put him down first."
"Who are you! Go away! "The crowd glanced at Gu Fei, and didn't pay any attention to him. The game had only been open for a day, and no matter how professional a player was, it was impossible to fight against a crowd, not to mention this guy was just a Mage.
"He's my friend, put me down!" Fireball continued to shout.
"Friend? Then throw him into the river together! "Someone waved his arm, and several people rushed towards Gu Fei.
Gu Fei was startled. It wasn't just Fireball that was protected by PK. These people were still fighting the lowest level monsters outside the city gate, so they obviously weren't level 10. Under the PK protection, fighting wouldn't hurt. If he really let this group of people get close, he would definitely be captured, and he wouldn't be able to escape. Thinking of this, Gu Fei quickly took a step forward, and jumped. He turned his body sideways, and his left leg brought his whole body in an arc from right to left.
"Pu! Pu! Pu! "Three consecutive sounds, and the three people at the front were swept away by Gu Fei's kick.
The three people sat side by side on the ground, and looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Although they didn't feel any pain, there was still a sense of touch. It felt like someone had lightly brushed their face, but the force was so strong that they couldn't resist it. This kind of terrifying supernatural event caused by the system was even more frightening than the pain. The three people sat there dumbfounded, not daring to move.
The others saw it more clearly than the three people involved. Gu Fei's clean kick left everyone scratching their heads.
"What skill is that?" Everyone asked each other.
"Do you know this skill?" Someone asked the Mage in the group.
"Nope, there's no such skill."
"I don't either!" The people in the group, including players of various professions, checked their skill panels, but none of them found skills similar to "Roundhouse Kick" or "Whirlwind Kick".
"What class is this guy?" Everyone began to doubt the Mage robe in front of them. In a holographic game, equipment wasn't limited by class. Wearing a Mage robe to hide his identity was very reasonable.
"Hidden class?" Someone began to fantasize.
Everyone stared straight at Gu Fei. Fireball, who was held in the air, didn't see this kick. He only felt that the surroundings had become very quiet, and the guy who was carrying him had become a statue, holding him firmly in the air.
"What are you doing! Put me down! "Fireball roared.
His voice jolted everyone out of their daze, and they loosened their grip without a second thought. Fireball fell freely, and stuck flat on the ground. He took the time to curse, "F * ck!"
Gu Fei ignored everyone, walked into the crowd, and pulled Fireball up.
The group looked at each other, but no one dared to stop him.
