Although Irin was very curious.
He could not use his own life to try.
And he always had a feeling that was close to obsession.
No matter what,
No matter when,
No matter where,
He could not let his life go to zero.
This obsession was like having to wipe one's butt when going to the toilet. It had become an instinct and muscle memory.
He pondered in the room for a while.
"It's about time."
Irin estimated the time.
Then he tiptoed out of the door.
The moment he opened the door, because the wooden door was too old, it made a very ear-piercing sound in the dead night.
Irin was so scared that he froze instantly.
If the lady boss found out, he would say that he had peed in bed at night.
Irin had already made up a perfect reason in his mind.
Yes, perfect.
Irin listened carefully.
The room next door was the room of the lady boss, Meg.
After singing and resting, there was a heavy snoring sound from behind the door.
He could even imagine the sleeping posture inside.
"Spread her legs, wearing a nightgown, sleeping posture is very bad, and there's light."
Such a scene inexplicably appeared in Irin's mind.
"Ruth, something's wrong with you."
Irin subconsciously said this to the darkness and was completely relieved.
However, Yi Lin had just tiptoed a few more steps when she stopped in her tracks.
"Ruth … who is she?"
Irin frowned and looked puzzled.
At that moment, perhaps because of some familiar scene that triggered Yi Lin's memory, Yi Lin unintentionally uttered an unfamiliar name in a situation where she didn't know what was going on.
Irin paused for a full ten seconds.
That strange sense of deja vu disappeared in an instant.
It was as if a flash of inspiration had appeared and then disappeared. It could not be captured, observed, or recalled.
Irin knew very well that his "memory loss" state was not normal.
But there was nothing he could do.
Irin discovered another thing.
He seemed to be very familiar with it … and even used to this sneaky state.
Although it was very embarrassing, he seemed to be … very good at sneaking.
Irin came to the street.
Almost without thinking, he skillfully hid in the shadows and moved forward with the help of the shadows.
It was like an instinct, but also like an innate talent.
"I don't feel like an ordinary person."
In the darkness, Irin muttered to himself.
"Could it be that … I'm a very, very, very high-end player?"
Irin made another conjecture about his true identity.
This kind of speculation without any evidence could only be left on the theoretical level as a reference for future actions. There was no way to prove it.
He could only wait until the day he regained his memories to see if his thoughts were correct.
On the street.
There was no one there.
Ah, the moon is so big.
It was like a big white butt hanging high in the sky.
The sky was filled with stars, but strangely, there was not a single cloud in sight.
There was not a single cloud.
Although Yi Lin didn't have any memories of the "real world", he subconsciously sensed that this scene seemed to be somewhat unusual.
There was a certain discrepancy with the "common sense" in the "cognition".
The uneven limestone slabs on the street reflected the moonlight, so it wasn't too dark.
From time to time, there were simple guards patrolling the streets.
But perhaps because Irin's sneaking was too skillful and secretive, none of the guards noticed that on the side of the street, in the dark, there was a tavern waiter quietly hiding in the shadows.
Soon.
Irin followed the route he expected and came to the weapon shop.
The door of the weapon shop was locked.
There was a sign hanging on the door.
[Business Hours: 08: 00 – 21: 00]
Obviously, it was late at night, and it was the time when the shop was closed.
At this moment.
In the distance, a moving fire was approaching Irin's direction.
A long shadow was projected in the direction where Irin was hiding.
It was very conspicuous.
Irin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly hid in the shadows.
"Sigh, I heard that the number of demons outside the city has increased recently?"
"Indeed, that's why the mayor asked us to step up the patrols and not let the demons break through the city gate."
"I heard that not long ago, an 'airship' of the 'Wilma Chamber of Commerce' was attacked by a mysterious monster in the 'Sky Sea'. The Salvage Association sent many professional salvagers to salvage the ship, but I don't know if anyone survived … "
"I hope they're okay."
Two guards in heavy armor, who looked very tough, held bright torches to illuminate the surrounding darkness. They chatted softly and passed by the weapon shop not far away.
The torches were very bright, but Irin's skill in hiding was too skillful, so the bright torches didn't illuminate Irin.
"I feel that I'm a bit awesome."
Until the two guards were far away, Irin lowered his head and was slightly surprised.
Of course, this was not because he was arrogant.
But he was a little surprised. This kind of almost instinctive behavior made him sigh with emotion about his "operational level" and "gaming skills".
In short.
Thousands of words were gathered into one word.
— — "Awesome".
This word, in Irin's "cognition", should not be a kind of organ, but a word full of praise.
"The surroundings are safe."
Irin felt that it was a little strange.
The patrol route of these guards was fixed, and they didn't use their brains.
They held torches, which were like bright lights in the dark, as if they were afraid that others couldn't see them.
This was not a patrol, it was a stroll.
Maybe this was the game mechanism.
Irin's preliminary guess was that this should be an MMORPG, which was a large-scale role-playing game, and not an action-type stealth game.
That was why the guard's anti-stealth technology was full of flaws in front of the "high-end player" Yi Lin. It was not worth mentioning.
"The 'monsters' they mentioned should be the small monsters in the game, right?"
"There are more small monsters now? Isn't that great? I can farm experience. "
"It's like an RPG game."
Irin secretly complained. After the guards patrolled past, he came to the weapon shop again.
Be reasonable.
1000 G for an ordinary small dagger was really ridiculous.
Under normal circumstances, even if Irin did not care about day and night, rain or shine, and sold his body to take advantage of Lady Boss Meg, it would be difficult for him to dig out more side quests.
The [Side Quests] that Irin completed in the past few days, the rewards were really touching.
The price-quality ratio was really bad.
It would be better to farm monsters.
But to farm monsters, one needed a weapon.
This was another endless cycle.
Irin felt that this was a bug in the game's design.
It couldn't be that as soon as a player was born, he had to repeat this kind of meaningless errand until he could afford his first weapon, then he could run out of the city gate to farm monsters.
If Irin was really here to experience the culture of this game, then so be it.
Unfortunately, Irin was thinking about how to make the [Logout] button in the [System] menu light up.
"Luckily, I have a talent skill …"
Irin closed his eyes and began to meditate.
In the past three days in his room, he had also tried to use the skills. Now, it was not strange to use them.
And for some reason, he felt that these skills were connected to his flesh and blood when he used them. Without much effort, Irin grasped how to use two of the skills and how to use them.
"Shadow Kill."
Irin thought.
In an instant.
A huge living person's body twisted on the ground, and the color faded. In the blink of an eye, Irin turned into a strange shadow on the ground and went in through the gap of the weapon shop's door. It was very strange.
If this scene was seen by the patrolling guards, they might mistake it as some kind of demon from outside the city that sneaked in, and it might even cause a riot. It was possible that the guards would turn the weapons shop upside down in their rage.
…
The night was silent.
The next day.
Irin woke up early.
He diligently mopped the floor and cleaned the tavern.
"Yo, so early!"
Meg was wearing cool clothes, with a sling hanging by her chest, and walked out sleepily. When she found that Irin was cleaning the shop, her expression was slightly startled, but she still praised him generously.
Irin's expression was kind as he smiled and said: "Early to bed and early to rise is good for the body."
"You … Don't tell me you want a tip again?"
Meg suddenly took a step back vigilantly. These few days, she was really scared by this man who used all kinds of methods to ask for money.
"No, no, no. Today, the service is free."
Irin shook his head, humming a song as he looked at the winding clock on the wall from time to time.
Meg looked around for a long time. She didn't know if it was because Irin didn't want money today, but he looked much more pleasing to the eye.
At this moment.
The hand of the winding clock had just passed "08: 00".
Noises could be heard from the street.
Hearing that, Irin.
With the fastest speed, he threw the mop and bucket to the side and quickly said: "Lady Boss, it seems that something has happened outside. I'll help you take a look! Don't worry, it's free! "
Finished.
Meg didn't have time to react at all.
She didn't have time to refuse Irin's kindness.
After all, she also wanted to go out and see what was so noisy.
Ah?
How could you deprive a woman of her nature to chase after gossip?
Meg was suddenly very angry.
Irin didn't have time to understand Meg's feelings and directly rushed out of the "Love and Peace Tavern".
He followed the sound and the route in his memory and walked quickly.
On the road, many pedestrians were attracted by this morning's movement. They also gathered around Irin, forming a stream of people and constantly gathering in that direction.
"Woo woo woo … Ah ah ah … My goods, my goods! Woo woo woo … "
In the distance.
At the entrance of the weapon shop.
Three circles inside and three circles outside were filled with onlookers.
The guards who came late were trying to evacuate the crowd and maintain order in Rab Town.
In the middle of the crowd, a loud cry was very clearly transmitted to everyone's ears.
Crying so loudly, so loudly.
Irin silently activated his other talent skill … [Shadow Following].
…
[Shadow Following]
[Type] Active, Map, Continuous, Battle.
[Consumption] 3 Crystal Energy
[Effect] When hiding behind the target or in the shadows, the target's presence will be reduced by 100%. When used in battle, it will not be easy to become the target of the enemy's attack. Lasts for 5 rounds.
…
Although the effect of this skill was a little strange, Irin wanted to take the opportunity to try it out and see what kind of state this 100% reduction in presence was.
After releasing the skill, Irin found that on the UI in front of him, a very conspicuous "black shadow" icon appeared in the upper right corner. The light in front of him suddenly dimmed, and Irin suddenly had the illusion that he was ignored by the whole world.
After releasing the skill, suddenly, no one noticed Irin.
Irin easily passed through the chaotic crowd and saw a fat middle-aged merchant in the crowd, who was wearing luxurious clothes. He was kneeling on the ground and crying miserably.
"Ah ah ah ah ah! My goods! My goods are all gone! "
"What should I do!"
"I spent a lot of money to buy these goods from the Chamber of Commerce! I lost everything! How could it be all stolen! "
"I'm so miserable ah ah ah ah ah!"
Irin coughed lightly and turned off the skill.
"This confused merchant, may I ask if you need any help?"
Irin tried hard to show a kind smile, which was exactly the character he "knew."
Hearing the voice, the sad merchant looked up blankly.
No?
Could it be that I guessed wrong?
Irin carefully knocked from the side and asked slowly, "Do you need help? For example … to help find the stolen weapons or something like that? "
After hearing this, the confused merchant's eyes lit up.
Ding!
A pleasant sound effect sounded in Irin's ears.
At the same time.
A golden exclamation mark abruptly popped up above the merchant's head.
Irin smiled.
It was very kind.
Ding!
Irin quickly stopped smiling.
In order to prevent the sad NPC merchant in front of him from having any bad misunderstandings.
However, the ding ding sound was really pleasant to the ears.
[Side Mission Accepted: The Trouble of Rab Town's Weapon Merchant!]
[Mission Difficulty: D-]
[Mission Time Limit: None]
[Mission Reward: 1500G; EXP + 3000. Specific "Starter Weapon" x1]
"…"
Irin swiped his finger and opened the panel.
In the [Mission] sub-menu, there was a new side mission called "The Trouble of Rab Town's Weapon Merchant" in the [Side Mission] column.
As expected.
Since there was no mission, he would create one himself.
He would also complete the mission while he was at it.
Irin silently praised himself for his intelligence.
After all, this was different from the outdated games played with keyboards and mice. According to Irin's subconscious "cognition," since this game world called "Uranus" could be so realistic, when he was training in the game, he must not use the conventional way of thinking to think about problems.
Only by thinking and experimenting more could he discover his blind spots.
As a matter of fact, Irin discovered a way to create his own missions.
Irin silently memorized this experience.
The Trouble of Rab Town's Weapon Merchant and the pile of "lost weapons" were all in Irin's [Tools] column.
There was a spear, a one-handed sword, a two-handed sword, a grappling claw, a dagger, a two-handed staff, a one-handed staff, a shield, and a long whip.
The weapons were all prefixed with "Starter's XXX."
It seemed that Rab Town was like a beginner's village in the game.
The weapons for sale were all low-level goods.
Although there was nothing good, at least Irin could obtain the right to leave the town after equipping the weapons.
Of course.
Irin could use [Shadow Pursuit] and [Shadow Kill] to leave the town and go to the wilderness at any time.
But the guards also said that there were powerful monsters in the wilderness. Without weapons, Irin did not want to take the risk.
Since it was a game, the players had to follow certain rules. For example, creating their own missions might not be a bug, but it might be one of the rules.
Irin casually comforted the weapon merchant.
He also complained about the difficulty of the mission and so on.
He wanted to use this method to persuade and convince the merchant to increase the reward of the mission.
But no matter how Irin tried to persuade and persuade, he could not change the sad weapon merchant's mind.
It seemed to be saying that the reward was here and that it was up to him.
Irin tried for a while, but seeing that he could not get more benefits, he could only give up.
The weapon … could not be returned to the weapon merchant for the time being.
After all, he had just accepted the mission and completed it in an instant … How stupid were the NPCs in the game world to not see through the trick?
And there was no need to.
"Usually, running errands, delivering letters, and sucking up to the boss's wife is the lowest level 'E-' Level Side Mission. The gold coins and experience rewards are only in the tens."
"This' D- 'Level Side Mission, the gold coins and experience rewards are several levels higher."
"It seems that the game's currency system is indeed a bit broken."
Irin was walking on the road.
The guards were already investigating the weapon shop.
They wanted to see if they could find the "murderer".
The fat weapon shop owner was still crying in front of the shop. Those who heard it were sad, and those who heard it shed tears.
Irin mourned for the owner for a few seconds, then quietly left the weapon shop.
"These nine pieces of beginner equipment for 'Beginners' cost 1,000 gold coins. But if I sell them to the shop for recycling, they'll only sell for 500 gold coins, even if they're brand new."
"In other words, these nine … no, eight beginner weapons, if I sell them back to the weapon merchant, I'll get 4,000 gold coins."
"But if I hand them all back to complete the Side Mission, I'll only get 1,500 gold coins. Losing 2,500 gold coins is equivalent to exchanging 3,000 EXP. I don't know if it's worth it. "
Irin looked at the stats panel.
He was still a level 1 noob.
The experience needed to level up was 1,000 EXP.
He did not know how much experience he needed to level up.
However, killing monsters to level up and completing quests was a common game experience. Although Irin felt that it was a bit strange, in his "knowledge," it did not seem too outrageous.
It was still within the range that Irin could accept.
"Forget it. I'll leave the city later and see how difficult it is to kill monsters."
Irin closed his eyes.
He tried to recall.
However, the "memory seal" seemed to be too thorough. Irin had no memory of it at all, so there was no comparison.
"Next …"
Irin did not return to the tavern.
He walked around a few corners and quietly opened the item panel. He equipped the [Beginner's Dagger].
…
[Beginner's Dagger]
[Rarity] E
[Type] Weapon
[Position] Main Hand, Secondary Hand
[Attribute] Attack + 1 (Main Hand), Attack + 0.5 (Secondary Hand)
[Effect] None
[Durability] 50/50
…
Attribute … It was really just a beginner's equipment.
Yi Lin only glanced at it and then casually equipped it on the "main hand" position in the [Equipment] column.
Although this game was very realistic, the equipment system was very rough. There were not too many random parts to equip.
From head to toe, they were:
"Head," "Body," "Foot," "Main Hand," "Secondary Hand," and "Accessory."
Two of them could be equipped in the "Accessory" slot.
In other words …
There were a total of seven slots that could be filled.
Only the [Equipment] tab of these seven parts could provide [Attribute] bonuses. According to Yi Lin's speculation, the other parts like the wrist, socks, underwear, eye mask, and chest cup could be equipped in the [Accessory] tab to provide the player with a limited attribute bonus.
"But what does this' Attack + 1 'mean?"
Without experiencing it himself, Irin could not explain it clearly.
He would find a small monster to test it out later.
After Irin equipped the [Beginner's Dagger], a small sheathed knife with a simple design hung on Irin's waist. It was quite eye-catching.
After equipping the weapon, Irin seemed to have completed the transformation from a "civilian" to an "adventurer."
Irin did not know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the people around him were looking at him differently.
There was a hint of envy.
Rab Town was not big.
After all, it was just a beginner's village.
While the weapon dealer was crying, a large number of guards and passersby were attracted to him.
On the contrary, the street was empty.
Irin arrived at the church at a moderate pace.
After obtaining the weapon, Irin began the "game" according to the information he collected in the past three days.
There was no one else in the church except for a young nun who was wrapped up tightly and an old priest.
Inside the church, there was a colorful translucent window on the wall in front of him. It was said that the window was made of crystal. The sunlight was refracted by the crystal, and the colorful rainbow light sprinkled on a milky white statue of a goddess.
Irin suddenly felt that while the statue of the goddess was solemn, it also gave people the feeling of a shy girl waiting to be married off.
"Welcome, adventurer from afar."
The old priest saw someone step into the church. His eyes paused for a moment on the dagger on Irin's waist. Then, a kind smile appeared on his face.
Irin pouted.
Sure enough, after equipping the weapon, he looked different.
On the second day in the world of "Uranus," Irin had already been here when he learned that he could be "blessed" in the church.
At that time, it was also this old man NPC.
He directly said that "the outside world is too dangerous for a weak person like you" as a reason to persuade Irin to leave.
This was not.
After equipping the weapon, he was a proud adventurer. Irin could still bear this pride.
Irin puffed out his chest. According to the description of a certain drunkard, he pressed his fist tightly on his heart and smiled. "Uranus above, I'm here to receive the blessing."
"Child. Have you made up your mind to stick to your original heart and stick to the path of adventure no matter what dangerous place you are in, facing the monsters on the quest? "
The priest was not surprised by Irin's purpose of coming.
He took out a book with a red cover and a white "crystal" inlaid on the cover. It was twenty centimeters thick and had a red cover.
The crystal had a very important position in this game world.
Irin's eyes narrowed slightly. He could see that the book in the NPC's hand should be a piece of equipment.
He raised his head again.
He looked at the seven-colored crystal on the wall of the church.
"I wonder if it's worth anything?"
The priest was stunned. "What did you say?"
"I mean, I've made up my mind."
The priest of the church in Rab town did not hear Irin's words. He did not even think that a small adventurer would dare to covet the crystal of the church, so he did not think much about it. After confirming Irin's "determination," he covered the milky white crystal with his wrinkled palm.
In an instant.
Between the priest's fingers, there was a soft white light.
"May Uranus bless you, child."
Smack.
The priest slapped Irin's head.
The milky white light wrapped Irin. The priest also closed his eyes and muttered something in his mouth. No one knew what he was talking about.
It was like some kind of ritual.
"God …"
For some reason, when Irin accepted the ritual, this heavy word suddenly flashed through his mind.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
On top of Irin's head, the white light turned into balls of light and silently condensed.
When the first ball of light condensed, the priest's expression was still calm.
The second ball of light … The priest's eyes showed surprise.
The third ball … The priest's expression twisted into a chrysanthemum, as if he was shocked.
The fourth ball … The priest's whole body twitched. He was so excited that he could not control himself.
The fifth ball … The priest directly cried out like a child.
Irin: "?"
"Child, quickly take off your shoes!"
Irin: "???"
The priest quickly withdrew his hand. His fingers were slightly trembling, as if he was trying to suppress some kind of emotion.
His lips moved quickly and trembled for a while before he said something that Yi Lin couldn't understand.
Take off my shoes?
Was there such a procedure?
Irin's mind flashed a question mark.
He did not seem to have heard the group of drunkards mention this procedure.
For an adventurer to be given a "profession," he had to receive the blessings of God in the church.
After receiving the blessings, the priest would give the adventurer a corresponding profession according to his talent.
Irin felt that this should be similar to the process of "changing professions" in games.
This level of "cognition" did not seem to disappear with the loss of memory.
Irin took off his shoes.
His feet were bare.
The priest seemed to be more anxious than Irin. He directly turned the soles of Irin's feet over.
Irin's expression was slightly stunned.
Be reasonable.
He did not look at the soles of his feet.
In fact, no normal human would be so bored as to turn the soles of their feet over to look at the soles of their feet.
"As expected! It's the brave, the brave! Uranus above, the brave has actually appeared! "
The priest's face was flushed red. He was so happy that his blood pressure soared. His expression was strange. He even reached out and scratched the symbol on the soles of Irin's feet. It was as if he was afraid that it was a pattern drawn by Irin.
"This triangular symbol …"
At the bottom of Irin's feet, in the middle.
There was a triangular symbol on it.
It was very eye-catching on the soles of his bare feet.
The priest who had been excited for a long time gradually calmed down.
But the way he looked at Irin was completely different.
It was as if he was looking at a piece of delicious cake, but also like a prey.
It was full of fanaticism.
It made Irin feel that something was very wrong. He suddenly had the urge to stab the priest.
The priest coughed twice and let Irin put on his shoes.
"Child, you shoulder the mission of saving the world …"
"Oh. And then? "
Irin's expression was calm as he nodded.
It was as if he was not on the same channel as the old priest who was so excited that he could not control himself. It was a sharp contrast.
It was an ordinary routine.
This was more like it.
This was the treatment that a "player" deserved.
[Successfully changed professions to "assassin."]
[Unlocked "God's Gift" panel.]
