The Truth of Magic Chapter 1: Back to the past
"Hey, have you pre-ordered "Arthur"?"
"Sure, I pre-ordered it half a year ago, okay. This game is claimed to be ai hosting the whole process, and the world line is deduced by the players themselves. Everyone says it is the most free game in history."
"When I watched the trailer before, I felt that VR was super realistic."
"Doesn’t it mean that you can play games in sleep for more than 4 hours? It was only 3 hours before."
"I'm on line tonight, make an appointment and take me, guys."
Zhao Xu looked blankly at the college students who were discussing enthusiastically.
These green faces in front of him are all his memories 10 years ago.
This scene of seems to have been similar.
His heart instantly felt as if it was being grabbed by force, and countless memories in his mind scattered like flying flies.
10 years ago, the game "Arthur" was released today.
No one noticed at the time, and the curtain of the new era was quietly opened on this day, ushering in a truly great era.
One year after the game was launched, a meteorite rain appeared out of thin air on the earth, and all life was turned into fly ash.
Immediately after all the dead people on the earth, they found that they had crossed into the world of Arthur.
And as long as the players who have played Arthur, they have perfectly inherited everything in the previous game.
In the new world, the upper-level players in the game become the masters of the earth, and the power of the original earth is also shuffled.
Zhao Xu didn’t care about this game in his previous life. He waited almost eight months after opening the server before being forcibly pulled in by his classmates and charged the guild of their class.
So the frequency of his online games in the game is also three days of fishing and two days of surfing the net, until the official one-year expiration of the service, he has just risen from level 1 to level 2.
At this time, the average level of the players who entered the game from the start of the server is almost 5, and the high-end players in the front group even have more than 10.
Fangfang entered the game although Zhao Xu is only level 2, but as the lucky one of the six or seven billion people on the earth who has played this game in advance, he is still the upgraded group. He is undoubtedly one of the world's crossovers. The top of the crowd.
In another world, with the help of his career level and classmates, Zhao Xu quickly provided his family with a corresponding life.
just for the days to come, Zhao Xu's life's luck seemed to have just been overdrawn.
The small town where he lived was attacked by a black dragon that suddenly arrived after three years of traveling.
The number of casualties in the entire town exceeded hundreds of people, including his family members who died in that crisis, including his newborn child.
Zhao Xu’s life has since lost its color.
He had just been conscripted by the lord at that time and escaped a disaster, but he has also been shackled by vengeance ever since.
For the next 6 years, he worked hard for revenge every moment.
all the way back to the end of memory, he is participating in an adventurous team to conquer the black dragon.
At that time, they were raided by the opponent before they entered the black dragon's lair. The last impression left in Zhao Xu's mind was the oncoming breath of the black dragon.
Then he crossed and returned to the classroom 10 years ago.
went back to the moment before the game started.
The whole world, with game development companies, except for Zhao Xu.
No one knows—Arthur, actually corresponds to a real alien world.
This also makes many people stand up why they didn't play this game in the first place.
Even the employees of the game development company, as long as they have not played the game in their spare time, will be a mere one year later.
After Zhao Xu took a deep breath, he woke up and quickly took out his mobile phone to log in to the tc home game mall and pre-ordered the game in advance.
As a paid pre-order game, "Arthur" is expensive, but even if the game becomes popular after the server is opened, it does not provide additional chargeable items.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu's eyes fell on the pre-order package in the mall.
Arthur Standard Edition, 299rmb.
Arthur Deluxe Edition, 599rmb.
Standard Edition Needless to say, in fact, most players buy the Standard Edition.
In the deluxe version, there is an extra set of costumes for players, which is equivalent to paying 300 for skins, or one of three choices.
The clothing sent by cannot improve any combat power.
This is also a game where the tc family cannot recharge and become stronger.
But Zhao Xu's gaze is not here. One year later, the earth will be destroyed and the ten thousand trillion wealth will become ashes.
At this time, paying an extra 300 RMB to change into a different world costume, it’s like a pie from the sky, just like what he can use that will turn into **** in a year, to change a set of useful clothes, fools don’t change .
Zhao Xu opens the pre-order interface of the deluxe version without saying a word.
It’s just that he was about to go through the iris to verify the payment, and suddenly his whole body was shaken.
He remembered something.
Many years later, he came into contact with a high-level boss once and heard such a legend from the enviable expression in his mouth.
In this game, there are dual elites, that is, dual professions.
The so-called dual career is actually to allow players to have two parallel career paths at the same time.
For example, if a player character is promoted to level 5, then he can be a level 5 fighter or a level 5 mage.
If he is a 5th-level warrior and a 5th-level wizard, then he is a 10th-level character. At the same time, because he spans two professions, he is more rookie among the 10th-level characters.
But for dual professionals, as 5th-level characters, they can be a 5th-level mage and a 5th-level fighter at the same time.
In essence, they are still level 5 characters, only possessing the professional abilities of two level 5 professions.
is naturally much better than other ordinary level 5 characters, but certainly not as strong as level 10 characters.
Level 5 characters still only have the HP, attack power, expertise, and saving throws of level 5 characters.
is simply adding resources for another profession.
According to the big man, the dual elite profession is actually a system that will be fully open in the future, as a version upgrade, to re-attract players.
When the game was launched, a very small number of accounts were opened to test the dual elite mode, which is also to facilitate the inspection of the intensity and make adjustments in the future.
As a test account, its biggest advantage is that you can experience the game for free.
But the price is that after one year, the account will be recycled.
This point is also to avoid the imbalance of the majority of players. As an account that will be recycled, no matter how strong it is, that's it, let alone a deadline.
Even many players who participated in the test, watching the increasing popularity of Arthur, directly gave up the unowned account and repurchased the game.
It’s just that everyone doesn’t know that, one year later, before the account was to be recycled, the whole people actually crossed it, and the game characters that naturally became reality could not be recycled.
The 1-year term has thus become permanent.
These accounts are also unique privileged accounts in the Arthurian world.
According to the big guy, there are very few test accounts that stick to the later stage.
But as long as they survive into the real Arthurian world, the owners of these accounts are all strong.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu stood up directly, turned around and prepared to walk out of the classroom, and waited a few minutes for the class bell to ring, and he would not be able to run away.
"Hey, Brother Xu, this Marxist-Leninist Lao Huang said that he was going to roll his name last time. You don't want to die." Roommate Zhang Qi hurriedly called him.
Zhao Xu didn't even take the textbook, and he waved his hand directly: "I have something to do, it's okay."
Before finished speaking, other people's shadows flashed out. At this moment, they happened to miss the classmates who were scattered in the classroom.
Zhao Xu went out and found a flower bed nearby to sit down, and directly picked up the phone to call tc's game customer service, and asked about the double elite test account.
Before talking on the phone, Zhao Xu's expression slowly became serious.
Before he could induce him deeply, the customer service rejected him in a polite and formulaic language.
The other party said that the distribution of the test account was completed half a month ago. Participating in the test are invited players, this test is not intended to be open to the majority of players in the short term.
In short, he has no play.
Think about it, the dual elite test account, no matter how bad it is, it is a free trial, and it is stronger than ordinary players.
is really open, you must have an account to experience the experience first, and you will not be subject to the 2-hour time limit of the refund service.
This reply made Zhao Xu frown.
He knows very well that he is not a high player.
Actually, he didn’t enter the game until seven or eight months after he opened the server. Even if he played less, it was done when the player had already explored a mature upgrade routine and someone took him. The two counteracted him. Kancan rose to level 2 after four months.
This is the most precious year in the virtual world.
After entering the real Arthurian world in the future, everyone's upgrade speed has slowed down a lot.
It’s not too much to say that one year is ten years.
Zhao Xu is also adhering to the concept of revenge. He has survived many deaths and overdrawn his future lifespan before he barely rises to level 5. Otherwise, following the trajectory of his ordinary life, maybe he will only be 3 after 10 years. , Level 4 only.
If he doesn't have the blessing of dual elite accounts, even if he cooperates with his 10 years of experience, he may only be level 5 after a year.
Faced with the black dragon that killed himself like a chicken in the previous life, it was a matter of the other party spitting out.
He must have a sufficient level to enable him to protect his family.
After Zhao Xu calmed down a bit, he immediately reacted and clicked on the x fish platform.
On x fish, in addition to publishing their own 2-hand disposal supplies, many people have also sold various services and even new products on it in recent years, and they can even buy some goods.
Zhao Xu directly indicated the 1-year dual elite test account for purchasing "Arthur".
When he filled in the price, he left everything in detail, and he directly filled in the game price of 299.
is equivalent to the other party using a one-year test account for a permanent private account. The only difference is that you can’t experience the characteristics of dual elites.
In fact, the test accounts are not limited to the double elite accounts, but there are many other test types, which are no different from ordinary accounts.
So he specifically stated that he wants a 1-year dual elite test account, which is also the test account with the longest duration.
Sure enough, after Zhao Xuyi released it, seeing that he still had enough credit points, a private chat was immediately sent over.
"Do you want an account for testing the strong race for half a year?"
The powerful race Zhao Xu naturally knows that, in fact, this is the content that the game company intends to open later. The feature of the powerful race is that they provide more abilities. Players bridge the gap with old players.
A major selling point of Arthur is the global service.
Therefore, the new server mode cannot be used to smooth the gap between the new and the old players, but the new players cannot be directly given the experience level, so the old players will be unhappy.
Therefore, the dual elite, powerful race and race modes are provided for this.
It’s just that the account recovered after half a year doesn’t make any sense.
The account duration is not based on the activation time, but based on the opening time.
Otherwise, he can take it and give it to his friends.
After Zhao Xu refused, several more private chats came in.
There is even a 24-hour test account for 10 yuan. Zhao Xu didn't bother to return it, and it was the next one.
"Brother, do you want the half-year double elite test number, just charge you 150."
After Zhao Xu accidentally clicked on one, he originally saw the words "Double Elite" happy, but after the half-year appearance, he felt cold.
Emotional double elite still has half a year.
"The price is very good. In fact, you are not a senior player and you can't receive this invitation account. My half-year period is quite long, and many of them are only three months."
Seeing the other party's reply, Zhao Xu, although he didn't want to, still patiently stepped down and slowly followed the other party's intelligence.
The other party sells 150. Actually, it’s also because of the double elite account that is powerful in the later stage. The shorter the time, the lower the level naturally, which cannot truly reflect the strength of the double elite profession.
If it can last three or four years and cover the entire life cycle of the game, then some big guilds are willing to invest tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of accounts for this kind of account.
After some communication, the other party felt that Zhao Xu didn't want to buy it, and there was nothing in reply.
That’s it. Until the evening, half an hour before the server was opened at 8 o’clock, Zhao Xu did not receive a 1-year dual elite test account~IndoMTL.com~ According to the current intelligence, I am afraid that the dual elite test account , Much less than what he imagined.
Suddenly, Zhao Xu's cell phone shook, and it was because an X fish user had a private chat with him.
"I have a one-year dual elite system account in my hand, and I have a potential point test."
potential point?
Zhao Xu froze for a while. He hadn't heard of this ability, but it didn't matter, as long as there were two elites.
is just looking at the other person’s dialogue, which is actually a hint to increase money.
In fact, he would buy it for as much as he could, even if it was hundreds of thousands, he would persuade his parents to lend him such a sum of money.
This is not buying a game account, this is buying life.
"How much?" Zhao Xu didn't give him the price right away.
"1000." The other party directly tripled Zhao Xu's demand price.
"You are too exaggerated." Zhao Xu typed immediately.
Although he couldn't help the endless joy in his heart, he still tried to bargain.
agreeing too readily will only make the other party suspect that they are selling cheap, and it will only cause trouble.
Next, Zhao Xu pretended to cut the price, but didn't dare to cut too much so that the other party ignored it.
After had a counter-offer, it was finally sold at 800. The process was more physical and mentally exhausting than he had written a few high-volume scrolls.
After the other party agreed, Zhao Xu asked the other party to publish the product under his title according to the x fish process, and then Zhao Xu paid in seconds.
The two negotiated, and after Zhao Xu successfully landed at 8 o'clock, he officially confirmed the receipt of the goods.
Looking at the game activation code sent by the other party, Zhao Xu couldn't help being excited even if he was over thirty.
The activation code is a series of uncomplicated numbers, which is his future in this life.
