Xu Fengqing's investment and understanding of "Star Age" was no less than Xu Yuheng's. Due to his identity, he even knew more about it.
After all, how could he just blindly burn money into a project that he had spent ten years to nurture with all his efforts and assets?
Although he barely played any online games, he knew that he couldn't possibly be at a normal spawn point.
Moreover, he recalled the process of entering the game.
It seemed that other than naming and creating the face, there was an important step missing.
Yes, the step of choosing a class talent was missing.
Xu Fengqing frowned, but he did not panic. He raised his head and looked around. His vision was pitch black, and he could only vaguely see what seemed to be a wall around him.
He reached out and touched the "wall."
It did not seem to be a "wall." It was hard with a soft feeling, like …
Xu Fengqing pushed hard. Accompanied by a cracking sound, the "wall" in front of him, with his palm as the center, cracked, and light shone through the cracks.
He squinted slightly and continued to push.
"Kacha kacha —"
The shimmering cracks spread, and more and more fine lines appeared. Finally, with a soft pop, the "wall" in front of him completely shattered and collapsed.
The sudden strong light made Xu Fengqing squint uncomfortably. After he got used to it, he pushed the broken wall again and looked outside.
This seemed to be a dry and warm cave. Not far away, there was a pile of glowing gems. The strong light that almost hurt his eyes came from this pile of gems.
And what surrounded him was not a wall, but …
An eggshell?
Xu Fengqing looked at the white object in front of him and was slightly stunned.
At this moment, a system notification rang in his ears, and at the same time, words appeared in front of him.
[Welcome to Star Age.]
[You woke up from the seal and found that you have lost all your memories. You only remember your name — Cloud Breeze.]
[After experiencing confusion and uneasiness, you decided to find your memories and find the person who sealed you here.]
[Then, Cloud Breeze, embark on the adventure that belongs to you!]
[Ding. Triggered the main quest [Who Am I?]]
[Description: Please search for the past and find out who you are. Reward: unknown]
Xu Fengqing took a closer look at the system notification and frowned slightly. This was different from what he knew about the game.
Weren't players supposed to be heroes from another world, descending to this world to save the NPCs and rebuild the empire?
Seal? Looking for memories?
He felt that something unexpected had happened.
At this time, the cracked "egg" that he was in suddenly began to tremble.
Xu Fengqing hurriedly went out of the hole and turned around to see the white "egg" emitting a faint silvery-white light. Then, it shattered into tiny light spots, and something fell from the light spots.
He reached out and caught it, discovering that it was actually a silver ring.
Xu Fengqing glanced at it, and a message appeared on the ring.
[Silver and White Pair Rings]
Description: Seems to be one of the rings. Unknown origin.
[Quality: Gold]
Effect: 1. Automatically gain a layer of armor that reduces 50% of elemental damage. 2. Bloodline Activation: After activating the skill, the power in the bloodline will be activated for 30 minutes.
Durability: 100
Status: Bound
Owner: Faded Clouds
Xu Fengqing raised an eyebrow. An item at the start of the game? And it's a Gold Quality one.
In the Star Age, equipment quality was divided into eight grades: Wood, Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Epic, Legendary, and Mythical. Gold Quality was already close to Epic, and was probably the highest quality equipment that normal players could get.
As for the other three grades, they could only be obtained by completing difficult quests.
Xu Fengqing recalled the information that he had read before, and felt that the situation was very strange.
However, he still put the ring on his finger.
Just as he was about to explore the spawn point, system notifications popped up again.
[Ding. Successfully triggered Normal Quest [Missing Soldier]]
[Description: Soldiers have mysteriously gone missing in the Parting Sea Plains. Please head to Roland's Imperial City or Glaze City's border to find the city guards to understand the situation. Reward: Small amount of experience points, reputation, and clues related to the Parting Sea Trial.]
[Ding. [Jade Tree Facing the Wind] Requesting to add you as a friend.]
[Accept] [Decline]
Xu Fengqing closed the previous notifications, and after he accepted the friend request, a voice message came in.
"Big Bro, where are you?"
Xu Yuheng's voice rang in his ears. "Why can't I add you to the party?"
Xu Fengqing looked around. "I'm not sure."
"You didn't really play an account of a hidden race, right? Are you an Ocean Elf? Is your spawn point at the bottom of the sea? "Xu Yuheng asked anxiously, and then sent him a post on the forum.
Xu Fengqing opened the post and glanced at it, then shook his head. "It's not a mermaid."
"Then what is it?"
"I don't know yet." Xu Fengqing narrowed his eyes. "Did you do something again?"
"I didn't!"
Xu Yuheng instinctively denied it. He felt very wronged. What did this have to do with him?
"The R&D center just called me and said that your character's stats are quite strong. Originally, they planned to release it after one or two years, but they accidentally gave it to me by mistake …"
He then carefully said, "Big Bro, do you want to unbind yourself and create a new account? I'll go and get you a gaming pod. "
Hidden race. Stats are good, but who knows where the spawn point is? He can't even form a team with this! It's better to change a new account.
Xu Fengqing's thin lips were tightly pursed, and his eyebrows were deeply furrowed.
"No need," he said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Xu Yuheng immediately thought that he was going to abandon the game, and hurriedly said, "Big Bro, don't give up halfway. It'll be done very soon! I'll go and contact you now … "
"Okay."
Xu Fengqing interrupted him, his face a little dark. "I'll take care of it myself."
Then, Xu Fengqing hung up the call.
He stood in place, rubbing the silver ring on his thumb, his brows furrowed, and his dark eyes sized up the cave of the spawn point.
Even he had to admit that the Star Age did have a strong charm. At least for now, he actually wanted to explore it further.
Xu Fengqing shook his head and suppressed this ridiculous idea.
This character should belong to the player, and this story should also be explored by future players. As the publisher, he couldn't do something that would destroy the game's balance.
If he really did that, it would give the opponent something to use against him, and it would also ruin the game.
He was about to go offline to find the people at the R&D center, and ask them to send someone to unbind the gaming pod and get a new one, but …
"Bang —"
The cave wall was suddenly smashed by something, and debris flew everywhere. Xu Fengqing subconsciously used his arms to block in front of him.
In the midst of the flying dust, he saw a giant beast that was a few meters tall like a small mountain appear in front of him, and on top of his head, because of the debris splashing, damage values of "-1" and "-2" appeared one after another.
Xu Fengqing calmly took a few steps back and hid behind a rock. Just as he was about to continue to go offline, he found that —
[You are in combat mode and cannot go offline.]
Looking at the system notification, Xu Fengqing couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Roland's border, underground cave.
"There's an interstellar beast breaking in!"
A normal soldier guarding the entrance of the cave shouted a warning loudly, and the longsword in his hand was already piercing towards the giant snake that was winding its way in.
As the weather became warmer, the interstellar beasts became more active. Previously, when Her Highness Sirene was here, she could control the wind elements to cover their scent.
But after Her Highness went out to repair the base station for many days, the wind enchantment she set up had long lost its effectiveness, and it made it easier for the hungry interstellar beasts to find them.
Now, it was the third wave of interstellar beasts that they resisted.
Although this normal soldier was brave, unfortunately, in the face of this two-star giant snake, his longsword couldn't cut through the snake's skin at all, and he was flipped over in an instant.
When the giant snake opened its mouth and was about to swallow him, a metal dagger suddenly flew over and fiercely stabbed into the giant snake's eye.
The giant snake hissed in pain and rolled around the entrance of the cave, but after the dagger stabbed into its eye, it didn't stop. Instead, it continued to go deeper until even the hilt of the dagger stabbed into the giant snake's eye, leaving a deep bloody hole.
Another ordinary warrior ran out of the cave and caught his companion, who had been thrown out, and checked his injuries.
Fortunately, he didn't die.
With Her Highness Senos around, as long as he still had a breath, he wouldn't die.
In the past four years, Her Highness Senos' existence was their biggest guarantee for survival in this dangerous wilderness.
At this time, the giant snake crashed to the ground.
The dagger that was stabbed into its body broke through the skin of its abdomen and turned into a bearded man covered in blood.
"Master James, are you okay?" the normal soldier asked.
James waved his hand and looked at the corpse of the giant snake with a solemn expression.
Sirene, Brady, and Abner had gone out to carry out the mission of repairing the base station, and he was the only Elementalist left behind. He was a metal-type martial artist, and his strength had broken through two-and-a-half stars, and was on his way to three-star.
Martial artists could control and change their own bodies, but they couldn't control the elements and change the environment like Spirit Masters. Now that the giant snake had destroyed the entrance of the cave, the smell of blood would soon attract more interstellar beasts.
They were going to be in trouble!
"Take him to Her Highness for treatment first, I'll deal with this snake first," James said.
"Yes, sir!"
The soldier carried his companion and walked into the depths of the tunnel.
Senos was sitting in the hall, using the water element to create water for daily use. When he heard the commotion, he extended his mind power.
Noticing that the battle was over, he was slightly relieved, but he also realized the problem that James was worried about.
After he dealt with the giant snake's body, he would create ice to block the entrance of the cave …
He thought of a solution, retracted his mind power, and looked at the entrance of the tunnel, waiting for the injured soldier to be carried back so that he could treat him.
But …
"Rumble —"
The underground cavern began to shake like an earthquake. The walls and ceilings that Abner had reinforced began to crumble one by one.
"Your Highness Senos!"
The soldier's anxious shout came from the entrance of the tunnel. He tried to put down his companion and run to him, but a huge rock fell from the ceiling and blocked the entrance of the tunnel.
Senos sat in his wheelchair, and could only watch as the Mountain-Quarrying Beasts drilled out of the ceiling, walls, and floor.
They were fighting.
Every spring, besides foraging for food, was the season of intense competition between the Interstellar Beasts for mates.
But when they found prey, such things would usually be left for later, such as now.
Senos looked at the Mountain-Quarrying Beasts that had stopped fighting and were looking at him. He could even see saliva dripping from their mouths.
He was the only one left in the cave …
The silver-haired man looked at them, and then at his broken body. Suddenly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he laughed.
"Xiao Wu, it seems that I won't be able to wait for you …"
He muttered, and there seemed to be some relief in his voice. Then he raised his remaining hand, and a blue light flashed, and a thick ice wall rose from the ground.
It blocked the entrance of the tunnel, blocking out the soldier's screams.
The Mountain-Quarrying Beast closest to Senos was already pouncing on him.
Just as it was about to kill him, an ice spike shot out from the ground and pierced the Mountain-Quarrying Beast's abdomen.
"Roar —"
Blood flowed out, and the Mountain-Quarrying Beast hung on the ice spike, wailing in pain.
The silver-haired man, who was trapped in the wheelchair, looked at the Mountain-Quarrying Beast as it struggled violently. The smile on his face did not fade, but there was a hint of suppressed madness in his reddish purple eyes.
Facing the other Mountain-Quarrying Beasts that were attacking him, he did not dodge. The smile on his handsome face grew wider and wider.
"Die, go to hell with me."
As he whispered in his ear like a demon, ice spikes shot out from the ground, instantly piercing a few Mountain-Quarrying Beasts.
They rolled on the ground, roaring. The Interstellar Beasts that had been provoked completely ignored their injuries and continued to charge at Senos. But their feet were frozen by the ice, and their movements were slowed down.
Senos stared at them, and his magic power was released as if it was free. As the Mountain-Quarrying Beasts were killed one by one, his face grew paler and paler.
Finally, one of the Mountain-Quarrying Beasts made a final counterattack before its death — it used all its strength to stab the sharp horn on its head toward the ceiling!
The ceiling of the cave, which was already in a precarious situation because of their battle, finally could not hold up and started to collapse.
Senos closed his eyes, and suddenly heard …
The beeping sound of the communication device.
He was stunned. In a flash, Senos used the last of his magic power to create an ice wall, barely holding up the collapsing ceiling.
Then, he struggled to pick up the communication device hanging on his chest.
Sirene: [Brother, the base station is fixed! Can you receive my message?]
Senos laughed again.
As he laughed, tears fell from the corners of his eyes.
Not far away, another Mountain-Quarrying Beast crawled out from the ground.
Seeing the miserable state of its kind, it let out a cry. Then, its beady eyes fell on the only living thing on the battlefield, and it approached cautiously with hatred.
Senos glanced at it and did not pay it any more attention. The smile on his face dimmed, and he looked longingly at the words on the communication device, and gently wrote his last words with his finger.
[Sirene, brother is proud of you, and … live well.]
Seeing that the message was successfully sent, Senos gently closed his eyes. Father, mother, I can be with you soon …
He vaguely heard the sound of footsteps, and it seemed that a larger interstellar beast was approaching. But that did not matter anymore.
His only left hand was holding the dagger in his sleeve.
Before the Mountain-Quarrying Beast killed him, he would make the final attack. Even if he died, he would not let this damned beast have it easy!
The Mountain-Quarrying Beast seemed to have finally determined that he was weak, and roared as it ran towards him.
Senos stared at it coldly, and gripped the dagger even tighter.
Just as he stared at the beast's weakness and was about to make the final attack —
"Bang!"
The wall beside him suddenly collapsed, and directly hit the Mountain-Quarrying Beast. At the same time, a giant black foot stepped on it, and directly crushed the Mountain-Quarrying Beast into meat paste.
Senos stared blankly at the scene in front of him. The foot was very close to him, and he could even see the texture of the skin and the sharp claws.
He sucked in a breath of cold air as a strong sense of crisis made his heart beat rapidly. But soon, he felt relieved.
What did it matter what kind of interstellar beast it was? The end result would be the same …
Just as this thought appeared in his mind, he saw the interstellar beast in front of him emit a faint light, and then it became smaller and smaller, and finally —
The leather boots fell to the ground, and a man with black hair and black eyes appeared in front of him.
