The game was being greatly modified, and the officials announced the progress every day. On the first day, the cute monsters in the leveling area were fixed, and the disgusting wild boars and wolves were replaced with cats, rabbits, and dogs.
On the second day …
On the third day …
The players waited eagerly. Although the last open beta only lasted for half a day, everyone 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 to show off his skills. Gu Fei often woke up with a smile in his dreams.
Because there were too many adjustments, the wait lasted for a month. Little Five's proposal had been approved, but it would be a lot more work to complete it. Therefore, the game company decided to gradually add these in future updates, and the game would start operating again first.
Today, Gu Fei had class. After class, he immediately went home 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. Do I 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, in a long line. After confirming that the guy wasn't selling glasses and brooms, Gu Fei also queued up curiously.
"What are you doing?" asked Gu Fei.
"Learning skills!" The person in front of him turned around and glanced at Gu Fei.
In order to give the players the ability to protect themselves, the modification this time deliberately lowered the level requirement for learning skills. Players could receive their first skill for free when they were born, and could learn the next skill of their class every six levels. So now, the players in the Mage Academy had to do this job in addition to buying glasses and brooms.
The team moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Gu Fei was already in front of them. Talking to the NPC, Gu Fei had already learned the first Mage skill. There was nothing new about it. Fireball seemed to always be the first technique that mages could master. However, Gu Fei was already Level Six. In addition to the new 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 center of the Mage Academy's wide plaza, 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 was pale, as if he had suffered a great shock.
"Shoot!" No one knew who took the lead to shout, but everyone immediately followed suit. The sound of "Shoot, shoot, shoot" came one after another. However, the Mage Academy was an absolute safe zone. Combat skills such as spells were forbidden here. Although the order to "Shoot" was given, Fireball didn't move. However, the person beside him became even paler. 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 plaza. 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 City. On the way, Fireball complained to Gu Fei. It turned out that he had already chosen his class when he got this account from someone else. Gu Fei suddenly felt that they were in the same boat. However, Fireball didn't care about this at first. It was just that after experiencing the scene of thousands of people shouting at the same time, it started to have some complaints about the name. Thinking about it, in future battles with mages, no matter if they were friend or foe, shouting "fireball" would obviously distract them! At the moment, people could only hope that "Fireball", the lowest-level spell, would be forgotten in the later stages.
Gu Fei couldn't help but share his feelings with Fireball. He more or less shared some of the tragic experiences of being forced to use a mage. Fireball didn't understand the internal reasons behind Gu Fei's actions. It only thought that he didn't like the mage class, so it continued to talk about the glorious history of mages.
Regardless, 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. In the blink of an eye, they were outside of the city.
The changes to the game's title had begun to take effect. At this time, the city was filled with wolves and boars. Learning from the mistakes of the past, these monsters were made to look disgusting. They were the type that people wanted to beat up at first glance. This greatly encouraged the players to level up. The mountains and plains outside the city were filled with people, chasing and killing the wolves and boars. Unfortunately, the strength of these wolves and boars was not proportional to their appearance. Under the crazy suppression of the players, they could only fight back with meager strength. For a time, the supply of monsters couldn't meet the demand. As soon as one spawned, a dozen players immediately surrounded it.
Fireball's blood was boiling. He took two steps forward and shouted, "Fireball!"
A fireball slowly rose in front of Fireball.
"Shoot!" Fireball shouted.
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 attacking 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! You have no manners! "Fireball's greeting was met with curses.
"Ah? Well, weren't you guys just randomly attacking? " Fireball was confused. There were clearly more than a dozen people attacking it. How did it become kill stealing the moment it attacked? Didn't the kill belong to whoever killed it?
"Are you blind? Can't you see that we're from the same guild?" someone yelled.
"Guild?" Fireball looked at Gu Fei blankly. Gu Fei was also confused. The game had just started. No one had the ability to create a guild!
The group nodded in unison. One of them yelled, "You stole our Defiant Guild's kill. You don't want to live anymore?"
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. Fireball looked straight at the crowd and said calmly, "So what if I killed it? What can you do to me? I'm only Level 1! "
Gu Fei smiled. No wonder this guy was so righteous! Since he paid attention to the official website every day, Gu Fei also knew that this change was made in response to the violent incident 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 players' own attacks in the PK category. This meant that if a fight like last time happened again, Gu Fei wouldn't be able to blind his opponent's eyes. Even if he were hit, it wouldn't hurt. At this time, Fireball relied on the protection and ignored the powerful players in front of him.
But players who dared to call themselves overpowered still had the spirit of being overpowered. Seeing Fireball's fearless attitude because he was Level 1, he wasn't discouraged at all and swarmed 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 he would be protected by PK if he fell into the river. Fireball was anxious and struggled desperately. But he was a Mage. 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. He was raised high into the sky. He looked around and saw Gu Fei. He immediately shouted, "Aiya, who's that? Save me!"
Gu Fei nodded and rushed forward. He stopped in front of the crowd and said, "Everyone, let's talk slowly. Put him down first."
"Who are you? Move aside! "The crowd glanced at Gu Fei. They didn't care about him at all. The game had only been open for a day. No matter how professional a player was, they couldn't fight a group of people alone. Moreover, this guy was just a Mage.
"He's my friend. Put me down!" Fireball continued to shout.
"Friend? Then throw him into the river! "One person waved his arm and several people rushed towards Gu Fei.
Gu Fei was stunned. It wasn't just Fireball that was protected by PK. These people were fighting for the lowest level monsters outside the city gate. Obviously, they weren't Level 10. There was no pain when fighting under the protection of PK. If he really let this group of people get close, he would definitely be captured. 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 turned around. His left leg brought his whole body from right to left in an arc.
"Pu! Pu! Pu! "Three consecutive sounds rang out. The three fellows at the very front were swept away by Gu Fei's kick in the air.
The three people sat side by side on the ground. They looked at each other and didn't know what to do. Although they didn't feel any pain, they could still feel it. It felt like someone had lightly brushed their face, but the force was so great that they couldn't resist it. This terrifying supernatural event caused by the system was even more frightening than pain. The three people sat there dumbly, not daring to move.
The others saw it more clearly than the three people involved. Gu Fei's clean and efficient kick in the air left everyone scratching their heads in confusion.
"What skill is that?" They asked each other.
"Do you know this skill?" Someone asked the Mage in the group.
"No, there's no such skill."
"I don't either!" All the players in the group, including players of different professions, checked their skill panels. They didn't find any skills like "Roundhouse Kick" or "Whirlwind Kick".
"What class is this guy?" They began to doubt the Mage robe in front of them. In a holographic game, equipment was not limited by professions. Wearing a Mage robe to hide his identity was very reasonable and reasonable.
"Hidden profession?" Someone began to fantasize.
Everyone stared at Gu Fei. Fireball, who was held in the air, didn't see the kick. He only felt that the surroundings had become very quiet. 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 and stuck to the ground. He took the time to curse, "F * ck!"
Gu Fei ignored them and walked into the crowd. He pulled Fireball up and left.
The group looked at each other, but no one dared to stop him.
