The equipment was an ordinary 12-shot pistol, a steel knife, a dagger, and a backpack.
"There's no system, no inventory, and no attributes …"
Nani put on the equipment and sighed, "It's really hard to adapt, everything is realistic! The backpack is also placed normally, and the weight is also logical … "
There was no merit for the mission to receive equipment, but it was good enough to get a free starter weapon.
"Let's go out and take a look! What's the outside world like! I'm looking forward to it! "
Nani couldn't wait to go out the door. Basically, 99% of the players had the same thought. The excitement of the game came after leaving the base.
"Team up! Team up! It's dangerous outside, we must be united! My name is Teemo, everyone should have seen my game videos, YouTube's ID is … Please follow me! " A handsome young man shouted at the door. There were more than 30 people gathered around him, and it was quite a large group, showing that he had the temperament of a leader.
"It's Teemo! He's a gaming expert! "
"I'm in!"
"Count me in! Let's go out together! "
Many people recognized Teemo, and just by relying on the celebrity effect, they formed a large group of dozens of people.
Nani naturally knew Teemo, both of them were top streamers, but he leaned towards single player games, while Teemo played online games.
"There's even team up in this game? It's just a verbal team … "Nani didn't want to team up, and he didn't want to follow another streamer.
He walked out the door alone, and said to himself, "Audience friends, today I'll show you how a solo player plays this game!"
He thought that he could play any game and was full of confidence.
The base was located at the bottom of a mountain, and after a few dozen meters, there wasn't even a proper road. There were jungles and rugged mountains everywhere, and the players radiated into the jungles.
Nani walked in the jungles, and tried his best to walk in the open. Shuttling through the jungles made people feel very insecure.
"It's so real!" Nani didn't know how many times he had sighed, the environment outside was too good, and the towering trees were all different! Even every blade of grass was different.
"But why aren't there any monsters?"
Nani waited solemnly, but he didn't meet any monsters. Instead, he met some small animals like mosquitoes, rats, and ants.
Suddenly, he heard a huge strange cry in front of him, followed by the screams of people. Apparently, someone had encountered a monster.
Nani hurriedly said in joy, "Someone encountered a monster!"
He ran forward and soon saw two people fighting a large monster.
It was actually a strange bird that was 2.4 meters tall. It had large radar-like ears, slender legs, and large feet that made it abnormally agile. Its wide beak made it look very ferocious, and there were sharp bone spurs on its wings that were obviously weapons as well.
Both of them looked like players. One of them clutched his chest as he panted, and the other pointed his gun at the bird, but he couldn't get a good aim.
Nani ran over and shouted, "Do you need help?"
Both of them shouted, "Quickly kill it!"
"Bang!" Nani quickly pulled out his gun, aimed, and fired in one breath. However, he missed.
Big Monster Bird angrily jumped up and pounced on Nani. Its huge beak smashed into him and Nani screamed in pain.
"Bang bang bang!"
Continuous gunshots rang out as the other two people attacked Big Monster Bird. Big Monster Bird was hit several times and let out a high-pitched cry that hurt everyone's ears. Then, it ran away.
Nani wanted to chase after it, but he felt a sharp pain in his body. He realized that he had also been shot.
"F * ck! You hit me! "
Nani was shot in the waist, and the pain made him break out in cold sweat.
The two hurriedly apologized, "Sorry, accidental injury! Accidental injury! Are you okay? "
"Do I look like I'm okay? Send me back to the base. "Nani was in so much pain that he couldn't get up.
Of all the places to be shot, he just had to be shot in the waist. This made him unable to fight.
The two were responsible, and they carried him back to the base.
Nani was in so much pain that he wanted to die. He would scream with every bump.
This made the two feel very guilty. They really weren't used to this kind of game.
Nani also felt that he was too unlucky. He didn't get off to a good start, and the first monster they encountered was accidentally injured by players.
Back at the base, they found a hospital and received treatment from a sci-fi medical machine. However, they encountered something even more unlucky.
"What? Healing requires a little merit? "Nani said in disbelief.
He had just started playing this game and hadn't even killed a single monster. How could he have any merit?
However, this was the setting. Just like him, a large group of injured players gathered at the hospital, and none of them could be healed.
"This is a bug, right? If you don't heal us, we can't even move. How can we play the game? Can we pay on credit? "The players protested.
Lan Mu looked down at the ground and noticed this.
Originally, Lan Mu had set that healing required at least one merit point.
However, it seemed that even one merit point was precious in the early stages of the game. No one could afford to use the hospital's medical machine.
More and more people collapsed when they went out. After all, this game was too difficult. In the early stages, it was a real survival game!
Lan Mu smiled slightly. He didn't think of this place as a bug, because he had designed it on purpose.
Just as a large group of players was making a ruckus at the entrance of the hospital, a Blood Breed disguised as a priest walked over. He wore the clothes of a clergyman and had a compassionate face.
He chanted the name of the Angel Gabriel and cast a lustrous light on the injured, quickly healing their injuries.
Nani did the same. The bullet was squeezed out and the gunshot wound completely disappeared.
"Divine Arts! This is the setting of the Divine Arts! "
Some people had paid attention to the official settings. However, they had been misled by the base commander Feige to get the equipment. In addition, they didn't know where the church was, so they couldn't wait to leave the base. Thus, they had almost forgotten about the existence of the Divine Arts.
"Lost children, the glory of Gabriel shrouds you …"
The priest left. Even an idiot knew that they had to follow him.
This was the plot that Lan Mu had designed. Next, it was to unlock the gameplay of the Divine Arts system for the players.
When they didn't have any merit points to heal them, they would be healed for free. After showing off the power of the Divine Arts, it immediately attracted the players' enthusiasm.
Nani followed the crowd to the base's church. It was a magnificent church. Many priests were praying inside. They could clearly see the statue of the Angel Gabriel and the cross.
There were also devout believers among the players. They worshipped the statue seriously.
"Children, come here every day to pray. You can find the detailed value of the faith you have gained. In the future, if you are injured, you can come here and find me to heal you. This is the mercy of the Lord." The priest fooled them and told them the use of faith.
The players listened to the description and quickly understood the wonderful use of the Divine Arts system.
Praying in the church every day could earn faith points. These faith points could be used to heal injuries and dispel negative statuses. They could also be used to learn Divine Arts in the church.
The so-called Divine Arts were the direct use of the power bestowed by God. In the game, they could only obtain the Divine Arts bestowed by Gabriel.
Compared to merit points, faith points were easier to obtain in the early stages. Different people received different faith points according to the difference in their piety.
Thus, the players began to pray and check their prayer points.
The players in the early stages were too weak. If they wanted to easily obtain skills, they could only rely on the church.
Nani checked and found that his faith points for praying today were only 30.
He asked the others and found that most of them were in their twenties and thirties. There were also some in their forties and fifties.
It was simply wishful thinking to exchange faith points for Divine Arts. The cheapest Divine Art — Illumination required 100 faith points.
However, at this moment, a young man exclaimed, "I can exchange for Divine Arts!"
"What?" The people around looked askance. How could he exchange for Divine Arts?
Then, Gabriel's divine light shone. The young man was bathed in the light and completed the bestowment of Divine Arts.
It was the same as learning skills in the game. He had directly learned a precious skill.
"What did you learn?" The players hurriedly asked.
The young man said proudly, "I've learned two divine spells. They are [Intimidation] and [Minor Healing] …"
After listening to his description, the players were envious. Intimidation could cause the target to have a short period of fear and hesitation. This hesitation was very useful in battle. Nani thought that if he had this Divine Art in the battle against the big monster bird, he would not have been so embarrassed.
As for the Minor Healing Divine Art, it was even more important. Injuries in the game would severely affect the players' ability to move. No one wanted to lose their combat ability after getting injured.
Nani was also envious. Two Divine Arts, 300 faith points for the former and 500 for the latter … How devout was this young man? He had 800 faith points on the first day!
"My faith has increased!"
"Mine too!"
Some people unconsciously became devout because of the young man's devoutness. Soon, they found that their faith points were increasing.
This discovery made everyone feel the existence of God even more. Their faith could not deceive the true God.
"Is God watching us?" Nani murmured.
The priest explained, "God is everywhere. Even in the game, he will protect his believers."
The Supreme Angel Gabriel. This was different from the previous beliefs. Everyone in the real world knew that he really existed.
They did not expect him to pay attention to this game. The faith in the game actually had such a wonderful use!
This news spread quickly among the players. Everyone knew that this was a place to increase their strength in the early stages.
The game was too difficult. Those who did not believe in God could not even beat a bird …
Therefore, more and more players prayed in the church. They also tried their best to be devout and believe in Gabriel from the bottom of their hearts.
An hour after the closed beta began, a large number of Divine Arts spellcasters emerged. These spellcasters were all people who had great faith in Gabriel. Their devoutness was extremely high. They learned Divine Arts on the first day.
Some learned one, some learned two. But as long as you knew Divine Arts, you would become a target for others to rope you in.
In the first hour of the closed beta, 80% of the players who went out to explore fled back with injuries or simply died outside.
Some were injured by the big monster birds, some were bitten to death and eaten by a group of velociraptors, and some were even more unlucky. They were bitten by mosquitoes and ran back.
The worst was that they ran too far and did not know the way back to the base.
There was no map in this game. It was too unfriendly for people with poor directions. The primitive jungle environment caused many people to get lost in it, unable to find their way home.
Gradually, the players became familiar with the difficulty of the game. While complaining, they also realized that in the early stages of the game, when they were weak, it was best to stick together.
Therefore, it was common to see groups with at least a dozen people and at most a hundred people going out to explore the jungle.
Moreover, Divine Arts were especially important in these groups. A group without a Divine Arts member would make the members feel very insecure.
Everyone said, "The Divine Arts member is the father."
