Irin was shocked at first, then he understood.
Oh …
So that's why.
So it was such a simple and unadorned setting.
So, this NPC called Great Engineer Ah Deng is a functional NPC who is here to receive new players and provide relevant explanations?
Irin had been in the game for a while, so he was very familiar with the position of 'players' in the game world.
It was just to increase the sense of immersion.
It was just to give out missions.
Now, the sense of immersion was here.
That [Lv:???] When the neutral NPC said such words, Yi Lin and the dog instantly felt that they were awesome.
The great engineer A 'Deng, who had an agitated expression on his face, finally calmed down.
"This old man, this old man, this old man …"
"I can finally get off work!"
The great engineer, Ah Deng, gripped Yi Lin's hand tightly and refused to let go.
In the small wooden house.
Great Engineer Ah Deng told Irin the cause and effect of everything.
The reason was not too complicated.
Just like Irin's experience in 'Gaia', there was a prophecy from God. It said that one day in the year 333 of the Cloud Calendar, a 'hero' would bring his dog to Aurora and bring peace and hope to Aurora.
Ugh … What an old-fashioned setting.
Irin was speechless after hearing it.
But it seemed that since it was a game, there was nothing to complain about.
"So you've been waiting here?"
"I've been waiting here for a total of two hundred and sixty-four days."
"You're really something …"
“？”
"No, I'm just saying that you're amazing."
"I can finally get off work."
Great Engineer Ah Deng was very emotional and was very persistent about getting off work.
It seemed that to him, waiting here for the hero to come was a very torturous thing.
Irin's heart skipped a beat, and he opened up [Reputation] to take a look.
While Yi Lin was conversing with the great engineer A 'Deng, another option was unlocked in his [Reputation] interface.
[Great Engineering College Reputation: Neutral (03000)]
"Luckily, it's not an enemy."
Irin had been messed with by all kinds of enemy forces recently.
Before making any further contact, he would take a look at his reputation level first.
As long as it was not a red name, he was not afraid.
Engineering University?
Irin looked at Arden's attire in silence. She felt that it was hard to connect the "great engineer" with Arden's "wizard" attire.
Which lousy game producer had cut corners and made this setting so carelessly?
"Let's go! There was no time to lose! This old man will take you to the Engineering College! "
"Ding!"
After Ah Deng finished speaking, a golden exclamation mark suddenly popped up above his head.
Irin had been playing games for a long time and was used to this kind of scene. He casually accepted the quest.
[Side Mission accepted: Head to the University of Engineering.]
[Mission Objective: Follow the Great Engineer, Albus Percival Wulfric Bryan Dumbledore, to the Great Engineering College.]
[Difficulty: D]
[Reward: EXP + 4000]
There was nothing much to say about this side quest.
It was just a guiding mission.
But what Irin found strange was that the difficulty of this mission was … "D"?
Does this "D" have any special meaning?
Irin thought as he followed Arden out of the wooden hut.
Great Engineer Ah Deng took out an old, single-handed staff from somewhere.
A cane was one of the equipment types. Irin squinted at the crystal embedded on the cane, deep in thought.
"Uh, uh, uh, uh … Let me think, it seems to be … Oh, Sir Hero, Sir Dog, move your feet."
Irin and Wang Tiandi were stunned.
Arden, the Great Engineer, pointed his stick directly at his feet and the dog's feet.
There was nothing in the empty desert.
Bewildered, the man and the dog silently left their original spot and moved to another location.
Arden looked like he was suffering from Alzheimer's. He held his cane and knocked it on the sand.
Rustle … rustle … rustle … rustle … rustle … rustle … rustle … rustle …
The cane finally made a different sound.
This place was completely different from the previous place!
Wang Tiandi covered his face. He could not bear to look.
Arden used his withered hand to quickly rub the crystal at the end of the cane. Then, the crystal at the end of the cane emitted a gentle blue light.
Rustle, rustle, rustle …
Fine sand flowed to both sides. A metal plate full of engravings emerged from the depths of the sand and floated in front of Irin and Wang Tiandi.
"This seems to work on the same principle as the floating ship?"
"A small floating ship?"
Irin observed the complex engravings on the metal plate and asked, "What kind of magic is this?"
Arden looked at the "Hero of the Prophecy" strangely and retorted, "Nonsense, this is science. You have to believe in science. "
Irin: "…"
Wang Tiandi: "…"
Under Arden's signal, Irin and Wang Tiandi sat on the small floating ship.
This board was surprisingly stable. It carried the weight of the two people and the dog and did not shake at all.
Irin looked at Arden sitting cross-legged in front. His leg hair rustled and the corners of his eyes twitched. He could not help but kindly remind him, "A … Deng, aren't you going to change your pants?"
When Arden heard how Irin addressed him, his beard trembled and he corrected him seriously, "My full name is Albus Percival Wulfric Bryan Dumbledore."
"Okay, Arden."
"My full name is Albus Percival Wulfric Bryan Dumbledore."
"Understood, Arden."
Irin made an "OK" gesture.
"…"
Arden gave up.
'Arden it is then.
It sounded better than Abu, Ah Li, and Ah Duo.
There was a small circular groove in front of the board. After Arden saw the groove, he firmly inserted the end of the cane in his hand into the groove. The shape became one.
Crack.
As the staff and the board merged into one, the board under Yi Lin's butt emitted a soft sound that sounded like grinding gears. Those crisscrossing patterns glowed brightly. Two translucent phantoms floated up from the two sides of the board. Yi Lin leaned forward to take a peek and discovered that his own face was reflected in the translucent light screen.
'Huh?
'Wait …'
'Why does this structure look so familiar?'
Arden ignored Irin's curiosity and took out a small booklet from his robe. He looked at the words in the booklet and carefully operated it while talking to himself.
"One step, two hang, three horn, four turn, five look, six hand brake …"
Irin was instantly speechless.
'This is clearly a car!'
'That stick stuck in the board is obviously a lever, okay?'
'Are the translucent shadows on both sides a rearview mirror?'
'Wait.
Arden, you still want to look at the operation manual at this time? Did you get a driver's license? '
Irin subconsciously held the board under his butt and steadied it.
He suddenly understood what was so difficult about this "D" mission.
Fortunately, the "car" was successfully started.
Arden operated the lever and the board rose into the air. It slowly crossed the hill and drove in a certain direction.
Irin did not have time to breathe a sigh of relief.
When they were in the air, Arden's expression changed again. He took out the booklet and read it again.
Irin was expressionless. He looked down at the small wooden house that was getting smaller and smaller and estimated the height they were at.
'What if, what if, what if, they fell from this height? Would they fall to their deaths?'
The scenery slowly passed behind them.
Arden drove very steadily.
He seemed to be more familiar with his movements.
Irin saw that Arden's movements were more familiar and dared to ask, "What kind of place is the Great Engineering College?"
Arden did not dare to turn his head and said seriously, "For the sake of driving safety, you can't distract the driver!"
"…"
After a while.
The flying car crossed the hill.
Irin and Wang Tiandi suddenly saw the light in front of them.
"This …"
Irin's expression was shocked.
Behind the hill, there were many tall buildings. Lights of various colors shuttled back and forth between the tall buildings. It was gorgeous and magnificent.
There were many flying cars of the same design as Irin's. Under the lights of the tall buildings, they drove and shuttled back and forth in an orderly manner.
Arden carefully merged into the flow of cars.
Irin noticed that the conspicuous lights outlined the shape of the "road".
The flatbed flying cars were driving on the road outlined by the lights in an orderly manner.
Whoosh.
A flatbed flew past Irin at high speed.
Whoosh.
Another flatbed.
"You seem to be … driving a little slow, right?"
Arden was angry. "Nonsense! There is a speed limit in the Great Engineering College! I'm already driving very fast! Don't underestimate the skills of an experienced driver! "
Whoosh.
A whole fleet of flatbeds flew past Irin and the dog.
"Alright."
Irin decided not to say anything more.
It was obvious that Arden's emotions were fluctuating just now. The flatbed almost went off the road. Irin did not dare to imagine what terrible things would happen.
In the distance.
There was a tall tower.
The architectural style of the tower was very sci-fi. Lines of glowing lines covered the entire outer wall of the tower from the bottom to the top. Many glowing crystals were revolving around the tower. The light in the lines would occasionally separate and connect with the crystals around it. It looked like they were one and could not be separated from each other.
The lines on the surface of the tower were far more complicated than the seven crystal lines of the Holy See branch in Isita Port.
Irin had countless questions in his mind. However, seeing how nervous Arden was driving, Irin did not dare to ask too many questions. He did not want to accidentally distract the "experienced" driver and end up with three lives in the car.
Finally.
The flatbed landed safely.
"Phew —"
The "experienced" driver, Arden, let out a long sigh. He secretly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
Irin and the dog also wiped the cold sweat off their foreheads at the same time.
They had finally arrived!
"I swear, I will never take his car again. Once I break my promise, I will never be able to level up in the game again. "
Irin softly swore.
"Woof!"
Wang Tiandi rolled on the ground with his paws facing the sky, expressing his strong approval.
"Ding!"
[Side Quest: Go to the Engineering College. Quest completed!]
[Received EXP + 4000.]
Irin's experience bar increased by a small amount.
Irin was now Lv35. This bit of experience was not enough for Irin to reach the next level.
After Irin closed the player interface, he started to observe his surroundings.
This tall tower seemed to be the main body of the Engineering College.
With the tall tower as the center, there was a circle of pure white walls around it. Inside the high walls, there were small paths, oddly shaped plants, and a large number of fountains. They were distributed in the courtyard with the high walls. There were also many young men and women wearing black wizard robes. They held thick books in their hands and strolled on the small paths.
Irin squinted his eyes and looked at the titles above the yellow names of the neutral NPCs.
[Student Engineer]
[Beginner Engineer]
[Intermediate Engineer]
"…"
There was clearly something wrong with this scene!
