Chapter 39 Twists and turns

The sun is just right, the breeze is not dry.

After Ye Li and others left, Lin Shilu looked up at the sky. The breeze blew across her cheeks and the sun shone on the street. She couldn't help but murmured: "It's a good weather. I hope I can find An An smoothly next. Don't do it again." be lost!"

After saying this, she shook her head and said, "Well, there's no point in waiting here. It's better to wait at the weapons shop we made an appointment with earlier."

Lin Shilu took a step outside and then remembered: "Well, in which direction are the weapons shops located? Oh, yes, I seem to have collected a map today. No, it should be the beginner's guide."

Then she clicked on the system panel, found the backpack column, and took out the previous beginner's guide. There were notes on the panel for this beginner's guide.

[Officially issued, the remaining rental time is two days, 23 hours, 48 ​​minutes and 06 seconds. Automatically returned upon expiration! 】

The shrunken book in the system backpack appeared out of thin air in Lin Shilu's hand, and the pedestrians around him were not surprised.

Everyone in Central City has one of the space equipment.

Lin Shilu looked at the beginner's guide in his hand, turned to the page of the map of Central City, and first determined his location, Central Square West Street, and the agreed upon weapon shop was in the third shop on East Street.

Compared with West Street, East Street is more prosperous.

West Street has a lot of food, clothing, housing and transportation, while the shops on East Street are mostly weapons for practitioners. You can also get some important information on East Street.

The customs, civilization, and habits of each small town in another world are different, so the names for practitioners are different. It wasn't until the official publication of this booklet that everyone generally agreed on some names and things, but people were still more accustomed to using local names.

There are some labeled buildings in the beginner's guide, but there are not many labeled alleys and miscellaneous ones, including the fact that East Street has been changed to West Second Street.

These three streets are still on the same road, and there is no detailed labeling. Lin Shilu automatically assumed that East Street was to go right instead of left. Although she was not sure, she had gone there countless times during the internal beta test. There were no more detailed markings on the map, so it must be just I can go according to my memory.

"Go straight across Central Street, then turn left and right. There are East Street signs and bulletin boards above East Street."

Lin Shilu wrote down the contents of the book, closed the book and held it in his hand to prevent him from going the wrong way.

The person she is looking for is exactly what Ye Li said:
  One is nearby, and the other is in the north of the city. He is about to walk out of the city gate and towards the suburbs. Compared with this one, Lin Shilu is indeed in the south of the city.

"It seems that we can only go fight monsters first. The non-safety area is just a short distance ahead. I don't need to worry about Lu Zai. She made an agreement with An Zhe'er before coming in."

Anyone passing by could hear the sour tone, but she didn't notice it herself. She only felt a fire brewing in her heart.

People passing by shook their heads and hurriedly walked towards their destination, thinking: "You can't afford to offend jealous people, let alone try to get involved in this mess. As for why I know, it's just experience. Isn’t it rare that I was dragged in without any precautions several times? I slipped away to prevent it from affecting me."

Putting aside the idea of ​​'Zhu Qingyou' wanting to vent her anger on wild monsters, the place where An Zhe'er arrived was near Lin Shilu. To be more precise, the two of them were separated by an alley, both in the central square, that is, on both sides of the central square, but the two of them had no idea about this.

While Lin Shilu and Ye Li were inquiring about each other's news, An Zheer walked around and then headed towards the agreed upon weapons store.

After passing through the central square, Lin Shilu opened the booklet again with confidence and took a look: "Next, turn left, then turn right."

When she raised her head again, she was blinded.

The street in front of me is the same as West Street, with a lot of people. No, there are more people here than on West Street, not to mention the East Street area.

"It's right to turn left, but there are several small alleys now. Were there so many small alleys during the last internal beta test? So is it the first one or the second one, or is it between these alleys? It makes sense."

Lin Shilu suppressed the bad premonition in his heart, closed the book, gritted his teeth, and walked directly to the first alley.

Facts have proved that what she thought was right, these alleys are all connected, but as long as there is a mistake or if you don't pay attention, you may go the wrong way.

When she turned around and saw that several alleys behind her were connected, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then resolutely walked to the right.

What Lin Shilu didn't notice was that there was a flag fluttering in the wind on the teahouse on the upper left side. Behind the word "tea" were written two words. It was the East Street she was looking for. She walked to it. The direction is West Second Street.

Central City is indeed different from the closed beta, because some of the maps have been greatly changed, but other than that, there is no difference.

Coincidentally, the changed map happened to be near the weapons shop on East Street.

Originally, East Street was on the right side of West Street and West Second Street. Unfortunately, after the change, East Street was sandwiched between West Street and West Second Street in order to stimulate the economy and conceal weapons shops.

After level 15, players will upgrade weapons and change professions, and subsequent weapon upgrades and modifications will also be done in this weapon shop.

After testing during the internal beta, Bai Yunci and the others found that East Street was more prosperous than West Street, and subsequent players basically stopped going to West Street.

As a result, some of the hidden settings they made on West Street are useless.

Lin Shilu relied on his memory to arrive at the original location of East Street, only to find that the weapons shop had now become a clothing store.

"I must have found the wrong place." Then she lowered her head and opened the booklet. "I may have to go back to the central square to make a judgment. Otherwise, it will be even harder to judge if the location is wrong."

As she said this, she walked towards the alley behind her, completely unaware that the alley opposite led to the original road. In this way, she walked further and further away.

Behind him, a quarrel was taking place at the weapons shop on East Street.

The reason was that several players and NPCs were colluding with each other. The two players were novices and were deceived by a few words. The NPCs around them knew they were old gangsters just by looking at their posture.

Seven or eight people gathered together in a very grand manner.

Some players had a bad temper and couldn't bear it. They wanted to step forward, but were pulled back by the people around them. He was a little angry and said: "She is also a player. Why don't we help her? There is strength in numbers. And two of them Still a player!”

The man shook his head. When he heard this, his eyes looked a little strange. He swallowed what he wanted to say and whispered: "Old Jiu, have you never played the closed beta?"

The ID on Jiuxian's head was the same as his name. He looked like he was too lazy to give him a name. He was confused and asked, "What's wrong!"

The man smiled and said nothing, "Just watch! This group of people is finished anyway, especially those two players."

Jiu Xun was confused and looked at the man surrounded by the crowd. He really didn't look like he was scared, but rather he seemed confident and not bored.

Facing these provocative people, An Zhe'er's eyes flashed with sternness and impatience, and he thought to himself: "You haven't found me for so long. Could it be that Lu Zai is lost? The current map does seem a bit different from the one in the closed beta. The difference is that I only found it after asking.”

"How about giving me some money to spend?"

In another world, both players and NPCs usually do not interfere with each other, or can communicate in a friendly manner, and the two rarely have disputes with each other.

Players are also not allowed to fight in the street for no reason. During the closed beta, some people couldn't listen and openly started trouble, and then they were fined a large amount, and half of their net worth was confiscated as compensation.

That post is still posted on the forum, and the player doesn't even dare to use his original ID.

Under special circumstances, players can attack NPCs. Such situations usually refer to verbal provocation by NPCs or players. Under normal circumstances, players attack NPCs for no reason or have bad intentions. In the case of taking action, the two will be in a different space.

In another world, players cannot harm the NPC's life. Once they reach a certain level, the two will be in different spaces. Regardless of whether it is a player or an NPC, as long as they commit any crime, they will be dealt with. The processing here refers to the person responsible for managing order. Every town will have a place to manage order.

You cannot hang up in the holographic game, so the official punishment is not to simply shut down the player for a day or two, including any time during the launch of the game, but to impose fines or compulsory labor to varying degrees.

Yes, you read that right, this is it.

Both parties must bear a portion of the cost of any damage to the building and must repair it themselves.

An Zhe'er thought of some rules of the game in another world, and thought that Lin Shilu might be lost. In addition, the few people in front of her were wandering around and making provocations. She curled her lips impatiently. She was in a good mood due to the weather. Gone in an instant.

"Get lost! Don't make me say it a second time."

The leader among the eight people became more and more arrogant, "Oh, you are quite arrogant. Let me see what you can do, brothers, come on!"

When An Zhe'er saw this, he no longer restrained himself and taunted him: "Heh."

The seven people around him swarmed forward, more or less holding weapons in their hands, except for the provocative person who just stood there.

Immediately, she drew out the sword behind her back. The sword was not unsheathed and was held in her hand. This attack method was somewhat similar to a sword within a sword or a knife within a knife.

An Zhe'er bit his lip out of habit, his eyes sharp. She thought she was using a Wenjian, and Wenjian usually refers to a sword with ornate decorations, but her current sword was very simple, more like a martial sword. However, martial swords mostly use leather ropes, and the tassel is used for literary swords. Even if the tassel is only seven centimeters, the position of the tie is wrong.

But it is very convenient. It is the same length as the sword during the internal test, which is longer than half a meter. The weight is also standard, weighing 1.8 pounds. This is not a problem at all for An Zhe'er, mainly because in the context of comparison, the weight of every assessment of Xuanmeng Academy is heavier than this.

In ancient times, a hole was drilled in the hilt near the sword's head, and the sword spike or edge was passed through this hole and tied. Different from modern times, the ancient one used to secure the ear to prevent it from falling out of the hand. During the internal testing, she often used this feature, grabbing the middle section and throwing out the two ends to prevent others from getting close. At that time, she used a modified tassel, and the length was only shorter than the sword body.

It's just that it's too late to modify it now, but it's more than enough to deal with these few.

An Zhe'er swung his sword with one hand to block the weapon coming towards her, then bent his left arm and stabbed back. Taking advantage of the opportunity for the person behind her to retreat, she immediately dodged the attacks of several people in front of her. After exiting the attack range, the person who had originally attacked her saw her own people attacking him and took out something to resist.

An Zhe'er also took this opportunity to support the ground with one hand, straightened his left leg and swept horizontally towards the person.

The man's center of gravity was unstable and he was about to fall behind him, but was kicked forward by An Zhe'er who picked up the sword.

She glanced at the people who were lying on the ground shouting, and then attacked the few who had slipped through the net.

After a few moves, the original provocateur was left standing shivering, and then An Zheer chased him and knocked him down.

After the fighting started, An Zhe'er's surroundings were like a vacuum except for these eight people.

Now the eight people were lying on the ground and shouting. They looked seriously injured, but in fact nothing happened.

An Zhe'er also had some sense in mind, so he just made them temporarily incapacitated. Ten minutes later, they were heroes again. Of course, they might not be heroes anymore, because someone in the crowd had already notified the Bureau of Ethics and Discipline Inspection.

The Bureau of Ethics and Discipline is responsible for managing order. There are branches in every town, and the one in Central City is the main bureau.

Now she was the only one standing in the vacuum zone. An Zheer looked around and saw a mix of players and NPCs, she said.

"They will be able to get up in ten minutes. If they are not dead, I won't be too harsh. At most, they will be temporarily incapacitated. People from the Bureau of Ethics should be here soon. Revenge if you have grievances, and complain if you have grievances. No. If it’s damaged, there’s no need to pay compensation or do voluntary labor. I have something to do now, and some of you also know my identity. I’ll take the notes later, please.”

After saying that, she waved her hand towards the place with the most players in the crowd, and then left the place, preparing to find Lin Shilu.

As for adding friends, it’s not that I haven’t thought about it, but the problem is that it’s too confusing! Adding friends in another world requires face-to-face contact, and cannot be added unilaterally remotely. Friends still need to be within the same search range.

Lin Shilu looked collapsed at this moment, and next to her was her mascot clone, who also looked collapsed.

Because the two of them had been wandering around this place for almost ten minutes, Lin Shilu kept wandering around after walking out of the alley. The originally hidden mascot couldn't help but lose its invisibility and fly out. As a result, it itself became confused.

It asked Lin Shilu to open the panel to check the status, and the results showed that there was no abnormality. Lin Shilu was accustomed to this, so he explained that during the internal test, it was because I couldn't control my power and it was a deceptive setting. In the game, as long as there is no one to guide you, you will basically get lost all the time.

Now I can control it, but I still get confused in unfamiliar environments. This is just a basic operation.

The clone of Yi Xiaojing next to her almost went berserk. The player assigned during the internal test was also Lin Shilu, and An Zheer was often around, so this rarely happened, or it would affect An Zheer. But it has never seen the latter situation.

During the closed beta, the player's mascot will still be the same as during the open beta, unless the mascot clone itself complains to the player it belongs to and requests reassignment.

The mascots around Lin Shilu and An Zhe'er are not only able to report data like other players, but also monitor the energy in their bodies, and will report it immediately if they go berserk. Lin Shilu and the others are also aware of this. very clear.

The only ones who don't know yet are Zhu Qingxuan and the Hu brothers. The mascots around them will explain before they come out.

The time when the mascot comes out is determined by the mascot himself, which is very user-friendly. Therefore, many players have never seen the mascot clone around them until the end of the closed beta. They can only buy Yi Xiaojing Q version dolls in peripheral stores, which is satisfying. My own envy.

The mascot's clone was made according to Yi Xiaojing's template and has its own independent character. It can also connect data to the main body. Yi Xiaojing is an elf himself and was later hired by Xuanmeng. It itself didn't say what its name was, and later it was also called this name, so this elf didn't care.

After An Zhe'er moved away from the crowd, he called in a low voice: "Er'an!"

This is the name she gave to her mascot during the internal beta test. It is the same as the name Lin Shilu gave to her mascot clone. They both have her own characteristics. The names were also discussed with the mascot clone. During this period, Lin Shilu was abandoned as the name choice. After many names were chosen, her mascot reluctantly agreed. An Zheer's was much simpler and succeeded in one go.

Her mascot clone was drowsily asleep, rubbed its hazy eyes, floated in the air and asked, "Ah, what's wrong!"

An Zhe'er briefly explained: "Help find the deer antlers. You should have internal communication and be able to contact the deer antlers. The file was deleted during the internal beta test. I don't have the contact information of the deer cubs. I added friends to set up a trap, and it hasn't been changed yet."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Er'an patted his little chest. He knew the reason very well. It was probably because the antlers and the deer's calf got lost together. This happened countless times during the internal beta, sometimes involving himself and Da'an.

Lin Shilu, who was still wandering around the alley on the other side, looked at the familiar sight in front of him and wondered: "Have I just been to this place?"

Lujiao was spinning around anxiously, and his tone was full of desolation and sadness: "We have just walked around this place three or four times, and you can't be such a road idiot. Even I was almost led astray by you!"

However, at this moment, it couldn't remember the road or the automatic navigation map. When Lin Shilu gave up the map in the booklet, it secretly looked at Lin Shilu's navigation.

As expected, it showed that it was under maintenance, and what made people even more desperate was a line of small words underneath.

〖We programmers are at our wits end in this area. Either it will break down or it will malfunction, so let’s use paper maps! come on! 〗

Antlers flapped its small wings and circled around Lin Shilu, complaining: "I must upgrade the system, load the map function, and load the defense against external forces, ah, no, it's the firewall and the database. It’s so difficult to be a road idiot!”

"Yes, it's so difficult to be a road idiot. Even if I gain something, it can't stop me from being a road idiot."

Lin Shilu sighed. She really had nothing to do with her Lu Chi physique, unless she could fully control this power until she reached adulthood.

But it was still much better than before. During the energy deficiency disorder, her abilities were either going berserk or going berserk. Sometimes, people around will also become crazy, but fortunately, only ordinary people can become crazy, and the time does not last long.

Since discovering this problem, Bai Yunci took her to Xinggui and did not let Aunt Zhang contact her again. Instead, she did it herself or asked her friends around her when she worked overtime. Adult gods are very good at controlling and bursting out the abilities of cubs. resistance, some of which can be controlled.

If they are both gods, the external effects they involuntarily emit will cancel each other out. Cubs cannot control their abilities, but adult gods can.

Gods are also divided into categories. Some were born at the right time or were born after the previous one stepped down from this responsibility. An Zhe'er and Lin Shilu were both newly born. Some were born after their abilities were cultivated to a certain level, such as Bai Yunci. , Fu Hongyi and the others.

But generally speaking, there are only three categories: those with godhead and abilities; those with godhead but whose abilities can only be fully mastered after adulthood; and the third type of second-generation gods and ordinary people, as long as their strength reaches that level and they successfully condense their godhead, will become a god.

Therefore, gods are more like another race or a more powerful person, and they also have many restrictions on themselves and need to abide by the rules of the world, so they are all equal, there is no difference, some are just strength.

The second generation of gods has no responsibilities. They have abundant energy and are stronger than ordinary people. Their control of their own abilities is not extremely accurate, and they have no godhead. Unless you rely on your own ability to reach that level, you can condense your godhood, and you do not rely on faith, because faith has great hidden dangers, and the only way to escape is the collapse of the floating island.

No matter what kind of divine cub it is, its own abilities will be out of control during its infancy and cannot be controlled by external forces.

In order to prevent accidents, many restrictions have been added to the gods' own abilities in the game, limiting their abilities to the same as others, no matter what the upper limit is. Of course, one purpose is to prevent gods from cheating with their own abilities.

This was what Xuandang dreamed of, and Bai Yunci implemented it. Just as she said, the game became a big hit, and some news spread to other worlds, and some people secretly played it during their time in the opposite family.

Although she herself was not very willing to add this, because it would give her the opportunity to cheat, but if not, she would not be able to enter the game at all.

Xuanmeng could not interfere too much with the cubs of gods, and Bai Yunci did his best.

Fu Hongyi and Chen Sizhui entered the game on the one hand to detect game bugs, and on the other hand they kept an eye on these cubs to prevent their abilities from affecting the game and nip them in the bud, even if they were interested in Yi Xiaojing. I feel at ease with my own database.

Maybe that’s too much to say, but then again.

After establishing the connection between Lujiao and Er'an, An Zheer soon found Lin Shilu.

Of course, it wasn't the deer antlers that told the characteristics of the surrounding buildings, because the surroundings were very similar, so Er An directly located the location of the deer antlers, and then shared the picture with An Zheer, otherwise he would not have been able to find Lin Shilu so easily. .

At this point, if Lin Shilu and An Zheer's meeting could be described in one word, it would be: twists and turns!
   An An may not be very proficient in martial arts scenes, so An An just wrote out what he imagined. I have to say, folded ears are really cool!

  Sister Ci and the others did not trick the deer cubs. The only difference between the mascot clones was to help detect whether they went berserk. Sister Fu and Chen Sizhui entered the game with an added layer of insurance.

  There won’t be any big hang-ups, and many of them are about balance. For example, Lu Zai's good luck came from Lu Chi, and this conversion feature also refers to one of her own abilities.

  I can’t say the rest, it’s a spoiler. Basically, it is based on each person's ability. The profession is also different from the fixed one, it is linked to their ability, so what is shown is the ability profession, it depends on what they end up doing.
