Real name: Lu Miao

Level: Level 40

School: Zhenwu Pavilion

Real occupation: Employee of the design department of an advertising company

…

Lu Miao is 26 years old this year. He has no capital, no background, and no connections. The three jobs he got after graduating from an ordinary university were all "working illegally" in advertising companies of different sizes.

Of course, working illegally is just an exaggerated rhetoric, meaning that he did the dirtiest, most tiring, and least profitable jobs in the company.

It's a small company, and the basic salary of 3,000 does not include food and accommodation.

From time to time, if he is lucky enough to pick up a big order, Lu Miao's monthly income can barely break through the 6,000 mark, thus contributing to the construction of the federation.

Of course, young people are not satisfied with this income.

But compared with his ambitions when he just graduated, Lu Miao has obviously learned to be content after being rejected for jobs one after another.

He cherishes this hard-earned job very much, so even if he is scolded by his boss PUA, he just complains a few words behind his back, and then works overtime and takes the blame.

Looking back, he was full of vigor on the football field, and he would fight with the opponent if he disagreed...

How come he has become the coward he once despised the most just a few years after graduation?

The frustration in reality made Lu Miao eager to find himself in the virtual world.

Especially when he heard that several classmates in the next dormitory had received offers from the big guild, Lu Miao's heart that was unwilling to be ordinary suddenly became restless.

Lu Miao also knew about the game "Heart of Condemnation", and he had made an appointment with several classmates to play it together at that time.

But because the company happened to receive a large order when the game was launched, he worked overtime day and night to catch up with the plan, and fell asleep as soon as he got home. How could he have the leisure to play games?

This also directly led to Lu Miao's game progress lagging far behind others.

It's not easy for working people to play games. After more than a month of opening the server, Lu Miao finally reached the maximum level.

Not only was he in rags, but even his sect was the default recommended sect by the system.

With this level of account, not to mention that big guilds don't recruit him, even small guilds probably don't look down on him.

But even so, Lu Miao still found the long-lost happiness in the game.

As a player deeply influenced by Chinese traditional culture, Lu Miao really loves this virtual online game full of martial arts elements!

He is very busy at work and has no time to go to dungeons to get equipment and do tasks, so he can only take time to watch technical teaching videos while slacking off at work.

Bai Xiaosheng once said that the biggest charm of this game is that it is not a traditional krypton gold online game that simply pursues numbers, but a place where players can rely on their operating skills to create miracles.

This is an absolutely 'fair' game.

As long as you have the ability, you will be a legend in this world.

Especially in the battle of Black Wind Village, Zhao Ye Yu Shizi killed the two guilds with his sword and made them lose face. Lu Miao finally understood what he wanted to pursue.

In reality, social classes have long been solidified.

The savings he has accumulated all his life may not be as much as the consumption of a rich second generation in a nightclub in one night.

Only in the game "Heart of Condemnation" can he break the class solidification and truly realize his ambitions and ideals.

So, after watching the video of Zhao Ye Yu Shizi against the two guilds no less than ten times, Lu Miao secretly made a decision in his heart-

He wants to become a top technical master like Zhao Ye Yu Shizi!

In order to achieve this goal, Lu Miao watched videos during the day, and after logging into the game at night, he kept practicing his skills in the hero dungeon alone.

After hearing that Black Wind Village only accepts deputy talents, Lu Miao even squeezed out time to practice the deputy job of blacksmith to the mastery level.

Lu Miao's idea is very simple, that is to find a way to hold the thigh of Black Wind Village.

If he was lucky enough to get to know Zhaoye Jade Lion, wouldn't he be able to ask the big guy for advice in person to improve his game skills?

Fortunately, Lu Miao's wait was not in vain.

After seeing Bai Xiaosheng's post on the forum, he immediately asked for leave and went home to sign up.

[Breaking news! Zhaoye Jade Lion uses the power of Black Wind Village as its foundation to officially recruit heroes and talents, determined to build the No. 1 Guild in Jiuzhou! ]

After all, Black Wind Village is not a large guild with capital background, so their recruitment process is completely different from that of large guilds.

There was no initial test or re-examination. After simply filling out an application form, the mysterious person in charge of recruitment asked him to go back and wait for notification.

Because the process was too simple, even sloppy, Lu Miao asked repeatedly to confirm that Black Wind Village only needed to fill in this form to recruit people.After filling out the application form, he left with a look of disappointment on his face.

What can a form tell you?

Isn't it just about who has better equipment and a more powerful sect?

Lu Miao didn't think that a form alone could make him stand out from tens of thousands of people.

After all, he had no equipment and no sect.

In any way, his performance in the game was as bad as his performance in reality, so after filling out the application form, Lu Miao went back to the company to report for leave and go back to work.

Lu Miao had already given up hope, but what he didn't expect was...

When he returned home exhausted again, he habitually logged into the game to take a look, and a stranger suddenly jumped out.

[Hint: You have a text message from a stranger. 】

Lu Miao quickly opened the inbox and found that the message came from a player with the ID "Tao Sheng Yijiu"——

"Hello, I am Tao Sheng Yijiu, the leader of the "Tingfeng Hall" of the [Black Wind Village·Xinghe Rugu] Guild. You have passed our guild's initial test. Please add me as a friend within 24 hours after receiving the message. I will invite you to join the guild discussion group at that time. Subsequent notifications will be released in the form of announcements in the discussion group."

Although he didn't know who Tao Sheng Yijiu was, Lu Miao clenched his fists excitedly when he saw the three words "Black Wind Village".

"Yes! "

According to the message, he immediately sent a friend request to Tao Shengyi.

After waiting anxiously for about five minutes, the system prompted that the other party had approved his friend request.

Before Lu Miao was even ready to speak, Tao Shengyi directly pulled him into a group of 100 people named [Xinghe Rugu (Core Group 1)].

The member list shows that there are currently 99 members in the group.

The group is currently in a muted state, and no one except the administrator can speak.

Lu Miao was confused, and then another team invitation popped up.

[Prompt: Tao Shengyi invites you to join the team 'Xinghe Rugu·Equipment Improvement Group (Self-named)', do you accept?]

At this time, Tao Shengyi finally sent him the first voice message:

"Ye Guanlan, right? The boss specifically mentioned your name. I remember that your equipment doesn't seem to be very good, right? Haven't you played the group yet? Come to Chixiao Palace quickly, and we will help you improve your equipment! You must arrive within half an hour, otherwise I guess you’ll have to wait for the next bus…”
