Necromancer cutting down trees

Chapter 2 The Ghost Test
Penguin has always been vigorous and resolute in its work. With the name of the gold medal producer and the investor "Fat Cat", it took only 10 minutes to successfully organize the internal test.

There are six people in this test, including three technicians, and three special guests who joined the test because of "curiosity". Fat cat is also one of the special guests.

【Six test players are online】

The system popped up a prompt, and Wang Yue, who was lying down to rest, sat up.

"The test has begun, let me see where you are."

Wang Yue quickly locked her friend's account, and her nickname was "Fat Cat".

"Apply for a video call."

There is a video call function in the game, as long as the other party agrees, they can share their vision, which is beneficial for players to exchange information.

The request has been sent, and Wang Yue continues to wait.

In another map, a fat cat in a leather jacket sits quietly waiting in the church, and the colorful light through the glass reflects on the wooden floor.

"too slow."

The girl was playing with her fingers boredly, and her feet slapped the ground alternately. The only sound in the empty church was her kicking the floor.

[Received the video connection request from Wang Yue, do you accept it? 】

"Of course I accept it. How does this game work? You should just click this button."

Fat Cat clicked to confirm, and a little red devil appeared in front of her, which was Wang Yue's game image.

Only Fat Cat can see this little devil, and other players cannot know who she is video calling with.

"I didn't expect you to finish the test so quickly, thank you."

The voice of the little devil is Wang Yue himself, and this sentence of thanks is full of sincerity.

Fat Cat waved her hand. After all, she has been a good friend for many years, so she is willing to help with this.

"I haven't contacted you for the past few days. Miss Ben thought you died suddenly while working overtime."

Wang Yue chuckled, he didn't take this kind of joke to heart.

He glanced around. This is the [Northern Church] area, which is the map where the player was born.

"There are some...complicated problems on my side, and I will tell you the details later. Let's talk about this test first. The results of this test are very important to me."

The test has started, but Wang Yue has observed an abnormality.

As an investor in Penguin, Fat Cat stayed alone in the church without company employees.

The investors of Penguin Company are not only Fat Cat's family, but also the younger generation of some big families who are the talkers of this game company. Wang Yue knows all these people, so it should not be the reason that Fat Cat is alone.

In Fat Cat's family, her half-sister has a greater voice in the company.

"Your sister has always been very interested in this kind of open world game. She must be one of the six testers, right?"

Recalling that when making this game, Wang Yue was often made things difficult by Sister Fat Cat.

The young lady was always picky, and often asked Wang Yue to modify the functions according to her own ideas. Later, the game was shelved because the young lady asked too much, and a lot of work was too late to complete.

"So what?"

When mentioning his sister, Fat Cat's face became a little ugly.

The girl's pure mind couldn't hide her thoughts, and the obvious change in her expression further verified Wang Yue's conjecture.

"Hmph, you guessed it. She and her fiancé are both in the game, except for the two test employees and a man I don't know."

It is precisely because of the bad relationship with his sister that Fat Cat hid in the deserted church after entering the game, and he would not be upset if he saw him.

When Wang Yue mentioned this incident, Fat Cat found an outlet, and she just scolded the little devil.

"Why do you say that the game you made doesn't even have a novice guide? Also, why is there no NPC in such a beautiful church? Are you being lazy again?"

Wang Yue patiently explained that the game is not yet perfect, and many additional functions are yet to be developed.

"The test phase is different from the official game. I will add the requirements you mentioned at that time. It doesn't matter if you don't have it now, just let me take you to play."

The little devil turned his head and grinned at the fat cat. As the producer, Wang Yue was the best guide for beginners.

He knew that his friend took up a test spot to help him, even if he would meet her annoying sister.

"This game will be played by many people in the future, and you will definitely be better than your sister by then."

"Then it's done, you want to make Miss Ben the most powerful player."

The girl responded with a smile, showing two canine teeth, very cute.

The comforted fat cat stood up from her chair, and the colored light shone on her dagger through the stained glass of the church.

"I'll teach you how to operate, and then we'll go out to fight monsters and practice."

Under Wang Yue's guidance, Fat Cat learned more details of the game operation. She practiced against the air in the church, and soon became familiar with the attack operation.

With the basic preparations in place, Fat Cat finally walked out of the church, but she didn't expect to meet the person she least wanted to see as soon as she went out.

"Finally figured it out? Don't forget that you are working now, so you can't mess around."

The woman holding a wooden cane stood alone under the tree. She was a head taller than the fat cat, and her figure was also slimmer. Although her facial features were similar, her face was more fierce.

She is Fat Cat's half-sister, and it can be seen from her tone that her personality is not good.

"Dolly, mind yourself."

Fat Cat gave her a blank look, turned around and walked away into the distance.

Seeing Fat Cat's attitude, Dolly, who was waiting on the spot, raised her wooden stick, and the flames condensed on her weapon.

[Warning: Flame Arrow]

Fat Cat saw the prompt on the interface, but was unable to respond for a while.

"It's a skill tip, she's targeting you."

Under Wang Yue's reminder, Fat Cat immediately drew out his dagger and turned to meet the enemy.

Small flames of fiery energy flew towards her, and the energy center was already golden yellow because of the extremely high temperature.

"Don't be afraid, such a long distance is no longer within the effective attack range."

Wang Yue told her not to approach, Fat Cat's eyes widened as she watched [Flame Arrow] getting closer.

When the attack reached a distance of 30 meters, the small flames that had lost their power fell downward, and finally only ignited a few grasses.

Fat Cat glanced at the scorched grass under his feet, and then looked at Dolly who was walking towards him.

"Do you want to fight her? Your profession is an assassin, and she is a mage. You have a great advantage in a fight, and I will support you secretly."

Wang Yue can give Fat Cat battle reminders at any time through video calls. Even though Dolly seems to be familiar with the game, with him as the producer on the side, Fat Cat's winning rate must be very high.

Fat Cat slowly raised the dagger, hesitated for a moment and put it back on his waist.

"Miss Ben has to rely on her own strength to defeat her, otherwise it won't count as a win."

Seeing that Fat Cat retracted her weapon, Wang Yue didn't ask any further questions.

Dolly, who was walking towards the fat cat, lost all hostility. She put the stick back behind her, with an unpredictable smile on her face.

"Is that how you talk to your sister? I happen to have a problem I want to talk to you about."

Seeing Dolly getting closer and closer to him, Fat Cat felt very uncomfortable.

Fat Cat has few friends and is introverted. The first thing he thinks of when he meets a strong person is to dodge.

In reality, the two seldom interact with each other, and even family dinners are just friendships.

"Besides the similarity in appearance, you and her are completely different from the children of the same father."

Wang Yue, who has the attributes of an otaku, understands the difficulty of communicating with others. He tries to ease Fat Mao's nervousness with jokes.

"I don't look like her."

Fat Cat pursed her lips and muttered, diverting her attention made her relax a bit.

Although Dolly couldn't hear the sound, she saw Fat Cat's mouth moving.

"You're not talking bad about me, are you?"

Fat Cat stared at Dolly with wide eyes, and Dolly could also see that Fat Cat today was different from before.

She kept a safe distance of five meters from the fat cat, and looked at her younger sister appreciatively, but she didn't see any problems.

"How do you feel, she has become confident?"

Dolly didn't come to a conclusion, and Fat Cat had lost his patience.

"What do you want to ask, hurry up and ask!"

Being scrutinized made Fat Cat very uncomfortable. At this time, she was like a Chihuahua. Although she was small in size, she had a fierce expression.

Dolly just frowned, not paying attention to her sister's expression.

"You have a very good relationship with the producer Wang Yue, do you know what he has been up to these days?"

Wang Yue, who was eating melons, suddenly heard his name, and now he remembered that he had not responded to many emails.

"I haven't been able to contact her recently. Maybe he's too tired to find a place to take a vacation after working overtime?"

Fat Cat pretended not to know, she lowered her head to hide the expression on her face.

"What a random man. I originally planned to invite him to participate in an interview with the game media, but the phone calls and emails were not answered."

Dolly paused after a few complaints, rubbing her chin and looking troubled.

"If you can get in touch with him, remember to tell him that our operations here are very busy. If he is willing to help, I can give him an extra bonus in my own name."

"bonus!"

If it wasn't because she couldn't return to reality, Wang Yue would definitely contact this young lady immediately.

Fat Mao heard Wang Yue's surprise tone, which made her feel very unhappy, causing her tone to suddenly turn cold.

"I will tell him word by word, personally."

Fat Cat spit out every word clearly, it was deliberately said to Wang Yue, to express her dissatisfaction.

Seeing that Fat Cat didn't have any more news about Wang Yue, Dolly casually pointed out a few basic operations of the game, then turned and left.

Seeing the back of Dolly leaving, Fat Cat can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"I can't believe I've spent so long talking face-to-face with her."

"Thank you for your hard work. I know that you have been persisting for me."

"Don't be narcissistic, take me to fight monsters."

Without his annoying older sister, Fat Cat feels a lot lighter.

Wang Yue continued to guide the way, and he let the fat cat go towards the woods.

Walking into the grove, there are [woodland hares] scattered on the woodland, all of which are level 1 yellow monsters.

"These monsters won't take the initiative to attack you, try to kill one first."

"I don't want it, the rabbit is so cute, Miss Ben can't bear to do it."

The fat cat withdrew its weapon and approached a harmless rabbit.

In the game, monsters have a fixed way of action.

The movement route of each rabbit has already been set, and it will take the initiative to eat grass and drink water at the designated time. Coupled with its realistic appearance, it looks like a real rabbit.

"Don't be fooled by the appearance, they are ugly, if you don't believe me, stab them."

"I won't be fooled by you."

Fat Cat didn't believe what Wang Yue said at all, she squatted down and stretched out her hands to a rabbit, she squeezed the rabbit's ears with both hands.

But unfortunately, this small action passed the damage judgment smoothly.

【Damage caused: 1】

"Ah! I didn't mean to."

"Retreat one after another."

The damage notification popped up suddenly, and the monster's yellow blood bar instantly turned red.

The white rabbit showed its red teeth, jumped up and kicked the rabbit's feet towards the fat cat.

This is the first time Fat Cat has seen the long feet of a rabbit. [Woodland Hare] is only the size of two fists, but its feet are as long as its own arms.

"Wow!"

Before she could react for a while, the fat cat fell back on the ground, and her forehead was kicked by the rabbit.

[Damage received: 1]

Only after the damage prompt box popped up did Fat Cat react. She took out her dagger and stabbed the rabbit in the direction where it fell.

"Poke its tail, that's the rabbit's weak point."

There is a bunch of small hair balls on the back of the rabbit. Ordinary people will never think that the weakness lies in such a cute place.

Wang Yue thought of this when he was making [Woodland Hare]. He estimated that only players with bad tastes would be able to discover the rabbit's weakness in the first place.

"Wang Yue, your taste is really special."

At the same time that the rabbit fell to the ground, the fat cat also used her dagger to pierce the rabbit's tail.

Although the girl didn't use too much force because she was afraid, the tip of the dagger touched the furry tail, successfully triggering the weak point judgment.

[Damage caused: 4 (weakness)]

Seeing the rabbit's health bar drop by half in an instant, the fat cat felt that the big revenge had been avenged.

A kick in the forehead wouldn't hurt her very much, but being humiliated by a rabbit was humiliating.

"Take advantage of the victory and pursue, don't just stay where you are."

"Oh, then I will stab a few times casually."

The wounded rabbit turned to face the fat cat, which bared its teeth and stopped in place intimidatingly.

All monsters have an attack interval, because it is still in Novice Village, the attack interval of low-level monsters will be very long, specially for users who are not familiar with the holographic battle mode.

"Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey."

Seeing that the other party did not resist, the fat cat stabbed the rabbit three times in the abdomen.

When [Newcomer's Dagger] enters the monster's body, the part of the dagger will disappear, and the dagger will recover after being pulled out, and the inserted part will not be stained with blood. As long as the durability of the weapon is sufficient, it can be used all the time.

The three knives ended the life of the rabbit, and the target fell stiffly to the side.

"Congratulations on your first victory."

"It's so easy, it's a piece of cake for Miss Ben."

Except for the first attack that made Fat Cat panic, the rest of the battle was just hitting stakes.

Regardless of the cute appearance of the rabbit, the level 1 monster is indeed an opponent that can be defeated with hands.

"Is this my booty? It's too shabby."

The fat cat picked up the [broken rabbit fur] on the ground, with a look of disgust.

"I've never had a rabbit before, and I didn't expect it to be completely different from the pictures."

"This incident tells us not to be fooled by appearances."

The fat cat no longer sympathized with the cute creature, she raised her dagger and walked to the next rabbit, and stabbed the unsuspecting [Woodland Hare].

She hit the tail with the dagger, and she dodged to the side while attacking. The rabbit who leaped to fight back missed a kick, and it fell to the ground motionless.

"I didn't teach you to dodge, how did you learn it?"

"Self-taught, Miss Ben is a genius."

After the attack fails, the rabbit enters the standby state again.

The fat cat went around behind the rabbit, aimed at the tail, and finished it with two knives.

After repeatedly killing several rabbits, she harvested a bunch of [broken rabbit fur], and her level was raised to level 2.

"Wang Yue, are you still there?"

"I'm here."

Wang Yue has been by Fat Cat's side all the time. He watched the last few rabbits die ugly and were mercilessly broken into several pieces.

Seeing Fat Cat killing more and more smoothly, Wang Yue suspected that some part of her nature had awakened, so she could only keep silent.

"Remember to keep those rabbit furs, they are important mission props."

"It's too simple, find me some powerful opponents."

"Seeing how powerful you are, I can now tell you about the hidden missions in Novice Village."

Seeing that Fat Cat is already familiar with fighting, Wang Yue thinks it's time for her to get some rewards.

But before that, he needs to let Fat Cat make final preparations.

"Hidden mission, take me to see it."

"Don't worry, I saw a golden light flashing on your body just now, it should be an upgrade, right?"

Fat Cat nodded, the game interface had just flashed an upgrade prompt.

Under Wang Yue's guidance, she clicked on her attribute introduction.

【Fat Cat · Privileged Account】

【Level: 2】

【Race: Human】

[Health volume: 20]

[Attack Power: 3]

[Defense Power: 1]

[Average attribute: 2]

【Occupation: Assassin】

[Sub-profession: Empty]

[Skill: Stealth]

[Items: newcomer dagger, newcomer leather armor, broken rabbit fur]

"My attack power and defense power have increased. Eh? Miss Ben still has skills, Wang Yue, why didn't you tell me?"

Fat Cat stretched out his hand and touched the word "stealth", then looked down at his body, there seemed to be no change.

"If your game settings have voice trigger checked, it should ask you to call out the name of the skill."

"Like this? Stealth."

I saw blue smoke appearing around Fat Cat. After a second, the smoke dissipated, and her body became transparent, like a human-shaped glass bottle.

"What a ghost skill, but anyone with eyes can spot me, right?"

Fat Cat looked at his hands, dissatisfied with the effect of the stealth skill.

"Your level is still low now. When you reach a high level, stealth is almost invisible."

Although the current [stealth] is too obvious, it is completely sufficient to fool monsters to avoid attacks.

The skill lasts for 30 seconds. After the time expires, the stealth state will be lost, and the skill will enter a 1-minute cooldown.

"I see, you are planning to let me use this skill to steal things, right?"

Wang Yue showed a strange smile, this was indeed one of his plans.

When he saw the dagger on Fat Cat's waist, he knew that her profession was an assassin. Assassin's initial skills were most suitable for petty theft.

"How can the game I made be called stealing? This is called taking."

"It's up to you, tell me what you plan to get?"

Wang Yue signaled Fat Cat to go back, explaining the things to pay attention to when using stealth along the way.

They returned to the church from the grove, and finally to the empty altar.

"There will be a hidden mission here?"

"That's right, and it's the last link of the hidden mission, which requires specific prayers to start an emergency battle."

The inside of the church is very tidy, nothing is placed on the sacrificial altar, it is only one step higher than the ground.

"What is an urgent battle?"

"You'll know when you trigger it."

Fat Cat stood behind the sacrificial altar dubiously, put his hands on his chest as Wang Yue said, closed his eyes and lowered his head.

"Do you remember what I said?"

"Do you think I'm stupid? I've already written the prayer in the chat box on the interface, just read it accordingly."

"It's really smart, as expected of Master Fat Cat."

"Hmph, of course."

The most important thing about RPG games is investment. When you start the game, the role you want to play is in your heart.

Fat Cat began to imitate a true believer. She closed her eyes and said her prayers silently in her heart.

【Leo, God of Light, may you grant me the courage to change his path for me, and let me be his salvation】

As the prayers echoed in the church, the reliquary behind the sacrificial altar was opened, and a downward passage appeared in the dusty wooden cabinet.

"The basement is very dark, remember to bring a candle."

The fat cat glanced around, and the decorative [white candle] became available for selection.

She took a few of them casually, surrounded by dots of white light.

"Can you tell me, is it scary down here?"

The fat cat hovered at the door, the cold air from the basement blowing her hair.

"There's a scary monster, but we don't need to confront the enemy head-on, just steal his stuff and burn it."

"It's that simple?"

"You have to trust me, I am the person who knows this game best."

With Wang Yue's continuous encouragement, Fat Mao finally started to act.

Immediately after she entered the entrance, the reliquary was closed, and the stained glass in the church turned white at this moment, and the lights converged on the altar.

The phantom of the nun appeared at the position where the fat cat prayed just now, and recited the same prayer.

【The God of Light, Leo.】
