"Yes, you're right."
Zhang Xuanyi nodded. She opened the small forum she managed and saw a post.
[I swear on my twenty years of being single that Game In A Different World is definitely a game that beats all the other masterpieces!!!]
This guy named 'If you can't die' was clearly a player as well. He used a long paragraph to describe his experience and concluded:
[I bet my twenty years of being single. Game In A Different World is too f * cking fun. Most importantly … you guys can't play it, hahaha …]
Then, this guy who started mocking received a barrage of verbal attacks from his friends on the forum. He was almost beaten into a pig's head.
After all, it would be too naive to believe someone's words in this internet age where there were no pictures and no truth.
"Hehe …"
Xu Ran's smile was a little stiff. "The internet is so big, there are all kinds of people!"
…
A few days later, at night.
Zhang Xuanyi and Xu Ran went online.
The spawn point of the players seemed to be tied to the place where they left the game.
Therefore, when the two of them appeared on the grassland, they easily saw each other.
"Yo, you're online?"
Ono Wanling was burning a bonfire with two fish roasted on it. "Do you want to give it a try? My cooking should be alright … "
The players' in-game characters also needed to eat, or they would be in a 'hungry' state and have their mobility reduced by 30%. If this went on, they would become 'weak', 'sick' … and then die.
It was really too hardcore to make the game to this extent.
"Thank you!"
Zhang Xuanyi took the roasted fish and had a bite. It was barely okay.
Although the smell of smoke was strong, it managed to cover the fishy smell and the awkwardness of the lack of salt.
The three players started exchanging information as they ate the fish.
"I've done a headcount on the official forum. There are probably less than a hundred players in the first closed beta …" Xu Ran said.
"And the novice village is too big. There might even be different novice villages. The fact that we haven't found any other players after so many days is proof of that."
"Then what should we do? Could it be that Game In A Different World started with survival in the wild? "
Ono Wanling said in shock.
"I don't know … because the main mission hasn't been triggered …" Xu Ran sighed. "And then there's the EXP …"
At the mention of this, Xiaoye Wanling could not help but fall silent.
Although the Experience Points column was clearly written on the Player Attribute Panel, he hadn't seen any Experience Points enter his account even though he had been catching rabbits and killing fish for such a long time. He had killed countless small animals.
"Could it be … that wild monsters don't provide experience? Or are these not considered wild monsters, and I have to look for wild wolves, wild boars … or humanoid monsters? "
Zhang Xuanyi guessed.
"Anyway, we'll just keep going down the stream we found … According to our experience in surviving in the wild, there should be settlements upstream and downstream of the stream, right?"
Xu Ran said, "We're not as lucky as Shaobai, who can run into a humanoid NPC every few days …"
After the three of them ate the fish, they followed the direction of the stream and walked all the way downstream.
Half a day later, Zhang Xuanyi wiped her sweat.
Speaking of which, it was strange. In the real world, a female otaku like her would rather die than go out for a walk.
But now, in a game world that was close to reality, she was very patient. Walking for half a day was not too tiring for her.
"Eh?"
She looked in a direction and suddenly pointed. "Guys, look!"
When Xu Ran turned around, he saw a black pillar of smoke rising from the sky like a beacon …
"I've seen the post!"
Xiaoye Wanling said excitedly. "'I'm Just Shaobai' said that he borrowed an axe from a woodcutter and was preparing to build a camp … Every day at noon, he would burn a pillar of smoke to remind the players to gather there!"
"Isn't this hardcore game a little too much? Do the players have to build their own novice villages? "
Zhang Xuanyi sighed, but without hesitation, the three of them immediately hurried toward the pillar of smoke.
Then, they understood what it meant by the saying, 'the mountain that you're looking at will run the horse to death'.
Although the pillar of smoke was always there and seemed very close, they had to rush for more than an hour before they reached it.
It was a small valley, and there were three small hills that looked like mounds nearby, forming a concave shape. It was not far from the stream.
In front of the valley, there was a pillar of smoke.
A few dusty fellows were looking at the fire with bitter and hateful expressions.
Smoke could only be produced by burning wet firewood, so the smoke was definitely very thick. The players who were looking at the fire all had rabbit eyes.
"Cough, cough … I can't take it anymore. Eh, there's a newcomer?"
A guy who looked like a fat otaku waved his hand with all his might. "Over here, over here …"
"Hello, I'm Mother Guarding the Middle Line …"
Zhang Xuanyi stepped forward and introduced herself gracefully.
"Welcome, welcome. Nice to meet you three. I'm Wan Donglin, the manager of Vile Valley. I'm mainly in charge of accepting new players … The three of you are rather far away."
A middle-aged man stood up and rubbed his eyes. His face was full of traces of smoke and fire.
"Who said that? This is clearly Hundred Flowers Valley, alright?"
A female player who passed by was indignant.
"We don't want such a sissy name. Let's just call it Novice Valley …"
Another fat otaku shouted.
"Alright, alright. This place was first discovered and established by Shaobai. If there's anything else, let's wait for him to come back …"
Another player said, "I'm Demon Soaring Cloud. This wilderness is actually very dangerous. There are packs of wolves, venomous snakes, wild boars, tigers … Thus, we gathered together and felt that we should hurry up and establish a camp. This is the valley. Look, it's surrounded by mountains on three sides. As long as we build a fence at the valley entrance, we can easily defend against wild beasts. It's not far from a water source, and there's also a large piece of empty land that can be used for farming …"
"Nonsense, I'm not here to do some leisure farming … I'm here to become an immortal. If I become an immortal, my powers will be as great as the heavens!"
A young man who looked like he had a chuunibyou shouted.
Zhang Xuanyi covered her face.
She knew this "If You Can't Die, Wave to Death" person. Previously, because he had spouted nonsense on her forum, he had almost been beaten into a pig's head by various fake reviewers.
Back then, Game In A Different World had mainly been promoted on a few hardcore gaming forums. Thus, most of these players came from those small websites and had some basic knowledge.
In fact, Zhang Xuanyi had already contacted the players on her forum offline, preparing to form a small team.
"Alright, stop being chuunibyou …"
Demon Soaring Cloud covered his forehead and looked in the direction of the forest. He suddenly laughed. "Old Bai and the others are back."
Xu Ran and the other two looked over and saw a dozen or so players walking over, carrying firewood with vines and laughing. They couldn't help but cry inwardly. "I didn't expect that even after coming to Game In A Different World, we still can't escape our fate of carrying bricks and chopping trees?"
