Xu Sili recalled the young man.
The young man had a head of bright blonde hair and wore a white fox mask that only revealed the lower half of his face, and …
That pair of very special gray-blue eyes.
Blonde hair, blue eyes, and the ID "Guardian of Roland". Xu Sili was suspicious at the time.
But at that time, he didn't know that he could adjust his body shape in the Star Web, and …
Wasn't there only one gaming cabin on Eshe Star?
He pursed his lips and looked at the little robot. It was sitting next to him, swinging its mechanical legs, looking innocent and joyful.
Xu Sili narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Xiao Wu," he called softly.
Xiao Wu, who didn't know that she had been exposed, looked up at him and asked in a childish voice, "Yes? What's the matter, big brother? "
"I have something to ask you, you have to answer truthfully."
Doha Town.
Following the guidance of the NPCs, some of the second beta players who had just entered the game came to this town that hadn't been built yet during the first beta. They ran their daily quests while admiring the new map.
After the slums near the inner city moved here, the town's population had rapidly increased to nearly 100,000. The spacious streets were full of people, and the extremely designed and exotic buildings were too much for the players to take in.
"This town is so beautiful!"
Game streamer Deng Jianan led Yin Xing on a stone-paved road in the town. He looked around and felt that everything was new to him.
Star Age was awesome, this level of realism was amazing!
"I heard that this town wasn't here during the first beta. It's a new map that was added during the closed period. There must be a lot of undiscovered quests. Let's go explore today!"
Deng Jianan's words were directed at Yin Xing, as well as the audience in front of the live stream.
Although he was also a game streamer, he didn't like fighting and killing. He usually played decryption horror games.
Now that he was playing holographic games, he wasn't interested in class advancement and leveling up. Instead, he wanted to see if the NPCs in the game were as high AI as the forum post said.
He was looking forward to it.
Yin Xing nodded. He did not have any special needs for the game. As long as he could walk and run like a normal person, he would be satisfied.
As for the audience watching the livestream, most of them were in agreement as they were also filled with a sense of novelty towards the game.
Deng Jianan chuckled. He turned around and led the Yin Xing into a small alley, hoping to find some unique missions.
The streets of Doha were exceptionally clean. Even the corners were brand new, as if they had just been built.
After making many turns, they actually found a hidden tavern in a remote corner.
The tavern's decoration was very unique, and Deng Jianan was immediately attracted to it. Such a place was the most likely place to trigger hidden quests or clues. This was also a common setting in other games.
They pushed the door open and entered the tavern.
It was now evening, and people were coming into the tavern one after another. There was a small stage in the middle, and there were people singing on it.
The song was moving, but the melody was unfamiliar.
[Wow, is this an original song from the game? Never heard of it.]
[It's so nice. I want to know the source!]
Deng Jianan also thought that it was a good song, and thought that he could edit it out later. Then he pulled Yin Xing to sit in front of the bar counter.
The tavern's decoration was new, but the bar counter, tables, and chairs looked quite old. They had just sat down when the bartender asked what they would like to drink.
Deng Jianan ordered two cocktails.
The bartender was obviously stunned, and then he shook his head. "Sir, we only have beer and fruit wine here. What you want to drink can only be found in the inner city."
Deng Jianan looked at the bartender's expression and felt that this NPC was very realistic. He pursed his lips. "You have too little variety of alcohol here, don't you think?"
"Sir, you must be joking. Although everyone's life is getting better under His Majesty's wise leadership, food is still scarce. How can we use it to make wine on a large scale?"
The bartender said seriously. "Our town is just recently built, and can't compare to the inner city. Besides, the kind of alcohol you want is not easy to find in the inner city."
Deng Jianan saw how serious the bartender was and could not help but ask, "Is Doha really newly built? That's why I said that everywhere looks so clean, like it was just built. "
The bartender looked at him strangely, but quickly reacted. "Eh? You must be the Brave. "
Deng Jianan immediately puffed up his chest. "That's right, we are the Brave from another world!"
The bartender smiled gently.
"Then you have to work hard and try to become an Elementalist as soon as possible. I heard that you Brave are very talented, and all of you have the talent to become an Elementalist."
Deng Jianan was just about to respond when a mercenary uncle came over with a glass of beer.
He looked Deng Jianan and Yin Xing up and down and nodded. "So you are the Brave. You do look like the rumors."
Deng Jianan could not help but laugh. "How so?"
The mercenary uncle took a sip of beer and said bluntly, "You're all very weak. I feel like you'll die if you touch them."
Deng Jianan's expression froze, and the bullet screen in his live stream channel was full of laughter. Some people even egged him on.
[Brother An, let him touch them. See if they die.]
[Hahahaha, host, don't be a coward. Come on.]
Deng Jianan felt a little headache. He looked at his HP. Although he had reached Level 3 from running around yesterday, he only had 1,100 HP.
And the NPC in front of him was unfathomable according to the system display.
Was he going to die here as the first kill?
He glanced at the screen and saw that the bullet screen was full of people who wanted to see the world burn. In the end, he decided to ignore the bullet screen and pretend that nothing happened.
After all, the 30-minute death penalty was still very heavy in the early stages.
"Uncle, you must be joking. I'll become stronger when I become an Elementalist."
"Haha, I'm an Elementalist too."
Deng Jianan was stunned. He looked at the mercenary uncle in front of him and was a little suspicious.
Was this for real? Were Elementalists so common?
"Hey, what's with that look? Although I'm only half a star, I'm still a real Elementalist, okay? "
The mercenary uncle said unhappily.
Seeing that Deng Jianan was still a little suspicious, he put down his wine glass and was ready to show off his skills. "Watch carefully!"
He put his hands together and made a complicated gesture. A faint golden light appeared on his body. Deng Jianan and his audience were looking forward to it. Even Yin Xing looked over.
In the next second, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the tall and burly man turned into —
A small dagger.
"Did you see that?" The small dagger was floating in the air as it shouted at Deng Jianan.
Deng Jianan was speechless.
Although it was magical, it was not cool at all!
[F * ck, awesome.]
[Hahahaha, look at my transformation!]
The bullet screen was filled with laughter. The screen was filled with "hahaha" and "2333".
In less than a minute, the small dagger turned back into the mercenary uncle just now. He said proudly, "I'm a Metal Element Martial Artist. That was one of my martial arts techniques. I can transform into a weapon.
"Unfortunately, my level is too low. I can't maintain it for long.
"However, since the seal of the Imperial City was lifted, I feel that I'm about to break through. I'm sure I'll be one star soon. Then, I'll be able to go to the frontlines!"
Deng Jianan was a little confused at first. However, he quickly noticed the information in the dagger's words.
He knew that Martial Artists could use martial arts techniques and Spirit Masters could control elements to release skills. This was the information released on the game's official website.
However, he did not know that martial arts techniques could be changed in this way!
Previously, due to the influence of the first beta players, most of the new players who entered the game chose Wind and Water Elements. Most of them chose Spirit Elements.
However, now that he saw it, the Martial Artist class seemed to be very interesting!
For example, Wind Element Martial Artists could become wind? What about Water Element, Fire Element, or even Thunder Element?
[Then, can't they really become a bolt of lightning?]
[Not only lightning, but they can also become a ray of light.]
Apart from martial arts techniques …
"Seal? What seal? "Deng Jianan asked curiously.
The mercenary uncle opened his mouth and was about to tell him when the bartender beside him said, "Nothing, he drank too much."
"Sir, you haven't told me what you want to drink."
After being reminded, the mercenary uncle did not say anything. He picked up his glass and drank again.
Seeing that he could not get an answer, Deng Jianan did not insist. Instead, he smiled and said, "Then, two glasses of beer."
"Okay."
The bartender quickly served them two glasses of beer. Deng Jianan picked up his glass and took a sip. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.
He switched the voice to the live broadcast channel to avoid being heard by the NPCs. Then, he whispered, "This beer tastes good! Although the alcohol is not very strong and the alcohol content is not high, it is very refreshing. "
"This is so surprising. I can actually taste it in this game!"
Deng Jianan's live broadcast channel was very popular. Moreover, at this time, only his live broadcast was of the exploration genre. It seemed to be more interesting. Soon, other viewers rushed in and heard the host's comments.
[So, this is a gourmet live broadcast?]
[Wow, where is the host in Imperial City? I want to go to this pub too. It seems to be very lively!]
[Host, hurry up and post the address.]
Deng Jianan looked at the bullet screen and immediately switched the voice. He said to the bartender with a smile, "You guys are going to be popular soon."
The bartender was a little confused.
Popular? Popular?
Deng Jianan did not explain. He glanced at the bullet screen and saw that some people were spamming, so he helped and asked, "Brothers, do you know how to meet the emperor?"
"On TV."
The bartender looked at him strangely and corrected him, "You should call him His Majesty."
Deng Jianan paused and laughed. Then, he saw the system notification.
[Ding. Peter's favorability of you -10]
Damn!
He was stunned for a moment and quickly calmed down. He said seriously, "You're right. His Majesty is so wise and powerful. How dare I be disrespectful to him. I deserve to die!"
This time, it was the bartender's turn to be stunned. He looked at him suspiciously and said, "How is His Majesty wise and powerful?"
Deng Jianan was stunned. Wasn't this NPC too intelligent? He even asked a rhetorical question?
Seeing him embarrassed, the bullet screen was filled with ridicule.
Yin Xing, who was quietly drinking, could not help but smile. However, he quickly covered it up with his glass.
Of course, Deng Jianan was not stumped. He had done his homework.
"His Majesty trusted us and sent warriors to escort N …"
He paused for a moment and quickly changed his words. "Escorting instructors to Lanyue City. Not only did we complete the mission, all the instructors and warriors were unharmed. Isn't that wise and powerful?"
Hearing this, the bartender nodded, agreeing with what he said.
[Ding. Peter's favorability of you + 10]
Deng Jianan secretly sighed in relief and switched to the live chat channel to complain to the audience. "Everyone, remember this. There's a tavern in Doha. The bartender here is a fan of His Majesty. As long as you praise the emperor, you can gain favorability."
After half explaining and half complaining, he switched back to the live chat channel.
"Speaking of which, does His Majesty have any other achievements? I didn't come last time. What I just said was heard from my companions. "
The bartender snorted. "His Majesty has many achievements!"
He wiped his glass as he said, "His Majesty has only been on the throne for half a year. At first, no one had high hopes for him. However, through a series of reforms, he has made the Empire better and better."
Whoa, Deng Jianan's eyes lit up. Wasn't this the background information of the leader of the Roland Empire camp? He had made the right choice in coming here!
"What kind of reforms? Tell me about them. "
He leaned forward and asked with great interest.
"Do you know how long it took to build this Doha town?" The bartender did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked a question of his own.
Deng Jianan shook his head. How would he know?
Doha town … Wasn't the new map added by the game group?
"Less than three months!"
The bartender wiped his glass, his eyes sparkling as he looked up. "Less than three months to build a town that can hold a hundred thousand people. In the past, who would dare to think of such a thing? This is a miracle! "
"Do you know who lives in this town?"
Deng Jianan shook his head again and waited for him to continue.
"Other than the five hundred villagers who originally lived in Doha village, everyone else moved here from elsewhere," the bartender said.
"Almost all of them came from the slums in the outskirts of the inner city."
Deng Jianan was stunned. He then heard him say, "We didn't have enough to eat or wear, and we lived in tattered straw huts. In winter like this, we would have frozen to death in previous years.
"But this year, all of us are living in new houses. We have enough food to eat and wear, and we have jobs to earn money for ourselves and our families.
"Now, the town is still expanding. When the expansion is complete, there will be a new batch of people like us moving in. There will be more and more people living a life that was completely unimaginable in the past.
"Tell me, His Majesty, who made this decision, is wise and powerful, isn't it?"
Deng Jianan looked at the expression on his face and could not help but nod. At the same time, he had doubts in his heart. Could it be that this town was not built directly, but still needed NPCs to build it?
"But, why was it built so quickly?"
"This brings us to another of His Majesty's reforms." The bartender smiled and looked at the middle-aged mercenary next to him. "About this, this Master Elementalist may have more insight."
"Damn, don't make fun of me!"
The middle-aged mercenary rolled his eyes and looked at the curious Deng Jianan. He chuckled and said, "But you asked the right question.
"Just four or five months ago, I was still squatting in the local army. If it weren't for His Majesty's reforms, I wouldn't have become a mercenary, and I wouldn't have the life I have now," he said emotionally.
"Although my life is not as stable as before, the local army is really too draining of people's fighting spirit. It should have been changed long ago."
Deng Jianan was confused and quickly asked further questions.
The middle-aged mercenary was a straightforward person and did not hide anything. He told them all about the reform of the local military Elementalists and the mercenary system that the little emperor had done.
"In the past, us local military Elementalists were indeed just taking the money and not doing anything. It was only right that we were called rice worms."
The middle-aged mercenary sighed and looked at Deng Jianan again. He suddenly laughed. "You brave people will definitely become mercenaries. I seem to have seen your ranking on the mercenary platform.
Hurry up and change your profession to an Elementalist. We may have a chance to work together in the future. "
He raised his hand and patted Deng Jianan's shoulder. "I have faith in you!"
Deng Jianan's face suddenly turned green because —
-100！
-123！
-135！
Three-hit combo!
A bright red damage coefficient appeared on top of his head. The middle-aged man only patted him three times, and he lost one-third of his HP in an instant!
When he saw that the middle-aged man wanted to pat him again, Deng Jianan quickly retreated and avoided this "unbearable encouragement."
[Hahahahaha, what's coming can't be avoided.]
[Host, you are so easy to read!]
The bullet screen was filled with laughter again.
Deng Jianan rolled his eyes and waved his hand under the middle-aged mercenary's apologetic gaze. However, this middle-aged man was indeed straightforward. He even paid for their drinks for the mistake just now.
"It's nothing!"
Said the middle-aged man. "When you become an Elementalist, you can come and find me. I will bring you to the Mercenary Association to register. Why don't you come to my party?"
[Ding. Mercenary Li Lei is familiar with you at first sight. After you change your profession to an Elementalist, he will recommend you to become a mercenary and join his party. (You can avoid the beginner mercenary mission). Do you accept?]
F * ck, there is such a good thing!
Deng Jianan was instantly happy and naturally agreed. He asked for Li Lei's contact information. Just as he was about to chat, the middle-aged man received a message and left first.
He could only send him to the door. He still felt that he had not had enough.
As for Yin Xing, although he was quite happy, his attention was on other things.
He sent a message to his sister, Yin Hong.
"Sister, I want to open a bar in Star Age … What do you think?"
However, not long after he sent the message, he received a system notification.
[Ding. Congratulations on triggering the elite mission — Life Profession (Weaponsmith). Mission Details: The Weaponsmith Hébourg is preparing to recruit a group of apprentices. Please head to the Elementalist College to change your profession. After you succeed, you can head to the Mercenary Town to look for Hébourg.]
This mission was naturally sent by Xu Sili.
It was better to rely on oneself than on others. Although the Star Alliance's weapons were cheap and good, they could not always buy them from others.
From the history books, the native equipment of Ai Xue Xing was not worse than those of other planets. It was just that they lacked people to study them.
The players had the help of the system. Wouldn't it be a lot easier to let them study the equipment first and then teach the NPCs?
This was also the inspiration he got from Su Mo's Formation Master.
At this time, he had already understood the whole story from the little robot. He also knew that Si Sheng had a gaming pod.
Moreover, Si Sheng and Xiao Wu were in cahoots from the start!
In the virtual room, Xiao Wu was lying on the sofa unhappily.
Wuwu, why did I join Si Sheng's pirate ship … Now that my brother knows, will he not like me anymore?
Thinking of this, the little robot turned over in anger and sadness.
Hmph, you want me to tell you? No way!
I won't tell that bad guy that my brother already knows about me!
