The weird game of the ancient gods

"Damn, why is the face pinching system in this game so difficult to use?" Cao Xiaoqiang was speechless looking at the strange-looking face that took half an hour to pinch out. It was too ugly, and he scratched his hair in annoyance. .

How about just pinching one and forgetting it? Cao Xiaoqiang thought.

But he immediately shook his head, no, I still don’t believe it. I must make a good-looking face today.

at the same time--

Creaking, the heavy door in front of them was slowly pushed open. A group of people passed through the door and finally arrived at the place where the plot of Dark Souls 3 officially begins - the Fire Sacrifice.

This is the place where the fire kings passed down the fire for generations. In the world of black souls, it can be said to be a holy place, but now in this doomsday, it seems dilapidated and desolate.

Following the dilapidated path, they killed a few insane tombkeepers and picked up a wooden shield from a dead tree. They soon arrived at the ancient gate of the sacrificial site.

"Okay, this is the Fire Sacrifice, which is equivalent to the safe zone in other games - a place like the main city. There are several NPCs in it. Be careful not to engage in hostile behavior."

Xia Yu said as he took the lead and walked in, feeling a little excited in his heart. He had played a lot with Dark Souls. Being able to witness all this with his own eyes was quite an interesting experience.

As soon as he entered the gate, he saw a lonely figure sitting on the steps going down - the discouraged brother who is indispensable in all the dark souls of the past.

Walking down the steps, a beautiful woman with silver hair and a long black dress stood in the center of the fire ceremony - the fire prevention girl.

Looking further inside, you can see an old woman sitting in the corner, and blacksmith Anderson, who is wielding a hammer and hammering.

A little old man with no legs and a crown on his head sat on the throne opposite, with a pensive look on his face - Rudolf, the Dwarf King.

It’s really a familiar and friendly scene.

The others looked around like curious babies, observing King Xin's throne. Black Cat pulled Xuanniao up to the second floor, preparing to search for the treasures hidden on the roof.

Xia Yu ignored the reactions of others and walked directly towards the fire prevention girl.

Fireproof Girl: "Welcome to the campfire, Lord Fireless Ember... Wait a minute, why do I feel a trace of the living breath? You are not an ash, or even an undead person?".

The fireproof girl's voice was a little trembling, and if her eyes weren't obscured by silver accessories, she would probably have a look of surprise.

Xia Yu was a little surprised. He originally thought that the NPCs here were all characters in the game, just a bunch of data, but he didn't expect them to have self-awareness? This is really strange.

"I'm not Ashes, I just ended up here accidentally. Don't worry, I don't have any ill intentions."

He didn't stay for long. The biggest function of Fireproof Girl is to upgrade players. However, the benefits provided by upgrades in Dark Souls 3 are not high. Upgrading a level only gives a few attribute points, which is of little significance. In comparison, it is more cost-effective to buy equipment. Some.

Everyone had gathered souls into his hands before. There were more than 3,600 souls in total, of which Guda lost 3,000 souls alone.

With the hope of the whole village, Xia Yu came to the old woman at the fire festival. This old woman was a businessman at the fire festival.

The old woman looked at everyone, her eyes widening in surprise.

"Oh my, my, it's really strange. There are so many living people appearing together. Am I not dreaming? Oh, I almost forgot. Immortals don't dream. Tell me young people, what brings you here? Are you here?"

It’s not surprising that the old woman would say this to Xia Yu. The world of Dark Souls 3 belongs to the apocalypse. Living people are either cursed and become undead, or simply turned into living corpses. Living people who can still maintain their sanity can be said to be rare. I encountered them before. The tomb-keeper mobs who arrived were all undead people who had lost their minds.

It was difficult for a large group of them to appear together without attracting attention.

But isn’t this a game world? How come these NPCs can still speak different lines? He seems to be intelligent.

Xia Yu felt more and more weird, but he didn't dwell too much on this issue. They couldn't stay in this game for long, so there was no need to waste time digging for the truth. It was better to buy equipment quickly.

"We are travelers and came here accidentally. We hope to buy some things here. Is that okay, old lady?"

The old woman nodded, "Of course, it is always a pleasure to see a few lively faces in this doomsday world, whether it is weapons, armor, props, spells, etc., as long as you can pay enough I can sell it to you for any price. As for the price I am talking about, I naturally refer to the soul. After all, in this doomsday world, money has lost its meaning, right?"

As the old woman spoke, she raised her hand, and a trading interface immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes, with a dazzling array of products appearing in front of everyone's eyes.

This is really convenient.

But everyone started to argue about what to buy.

A piece of chain mail costs 800 souls, a short scimitar costs 600 souls, a dagger costs 300 souls, a flame pot costs 100 souls, a magic scroll of soul arrow costs 2,000 souls, and an afterglow costs 2,500 souls...

Xia Yu really couldn't do anything with the few souls he had in his hands. It was obviously impossible to arm all 11 people.

The gentleman suddenly pulled him and lowered his voice: "Hey traveler, what if we kill her and just grab the things?"

Xia Yu looked at the gentleman speechlessly, feeling sorry for himself that he had communicated with everyone in advance, otherwise he would have let them play this game blindly. This old woman is an immortal. She can be resurrected after being killed, and once she is killed, she will be resurrected. If you get angry, the price of goods will increase.

The gentleman also noticed that Xia Yu had a bad look on his face and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm just saying casually. If it doesn't work, forget it. Come on, you decide what to buy. I'm going to see the beauties." After that, he ran to flirt with the fire-proof girl. It's time to go.

The old woman didn't know if she heard the conversation between several people, and she laughed and said, "Have you thought about it? Everyone, have you thought about what you want to buy?"

Overlord said: "This is not easy. At times like this, of course I have to concentrate resources to cultivate an MT. Buy me an armor and two weapons. When the time comes, I will just go up and kill it alone. You guys will help me from behind." Just call 666."

The leader said: "I think it is more cost-effective to buy weapons. With so many of us, we can maximize our combat effectiveness. Each person has a short sword or scimitar. 3600 souls can arm six people."

Xia Yu nodded noncommittally, "That's true, but have you noticed that when we fought Guda just now, actually no one dared to go up to it. If we encounter a stronger enemy again, I will give it to one of you. Do you dare to carry a short sword or a short scimitar?"

This goes to the heart of the matter. The monsters in Dark Souls are all very fierce. In order to increase the sense of oppression, the monsters are often designed to be huge, holding big swords and axes. Enemies two or three meters tall are everywhere. They are not the trashy tombkeepers before. Comparable, especially the various elite knight monsters at the back, their hardness and attack are higher than the players. They are about to catch up with the BOSS. The weapons in their hands may be bigger than people. If they get close to each other, this group of people will join together. He had no clothes, and if he got hit, he would be dead or injured.

And if this person dies, it's probably really dead. They don't even have a blood bottle in their hands. Except for a few brave and powerful melee warriors, who would dare to take this risk.

As for stacking armor, it is even more impractical. The armor in Dark Souls 3 looks majestic, but the actual protective effect is just like paper. There is a sentence that vividly describes the armor system in Dark Souls 3, 'No It's like wearing paper, folding it in half, no matter how much armor you pile up, it's just the difference between death by two swords or death by three swords.

Moreover, armor is divided into head armor, breastplate, leg armor, and hand armor. Even the cheapest chain armor can cost thousands of souls. They only have such little resources, so how can they waste it.

As for what to buy, Xia Yu actually already had a plan.

Since hand-to-hand combat is impossible, let's shoot arrows and throw magic from a distance.

Just equip everyone with long-range weapons and let everyone perform remote output together.

The only two attack spells that can be bought now are soul arrows and flange short arrows. When you rescue the thief from the dungeon later, you can buy a bow and crossbow from him. As long as the firepower is strong enough, the enemy will not be able to get in. .

Soul Arrow - 2000 souls.

Flange Short Arrow - 1000 souls.

Scimitar - 600 souls.

The little bit of soul I had finally saved was gone in an instant.

Throwing the scimitar to Overlord, coupled with a wooden shield he picked up on the road, he could finally kill people.

Looking at the two spell scrolls in his hands, Xia Yu knew that learning spells requires intelligence. He turned around and looked at the people behind him, "Which of you has higher intelligence? Come and learn spells."

Everyone signed up one after another, and no one was willing to admit that they were not intelligent enough.

However, considering that the leader and Fubuki already had the ability to attack from a distance, the soul arrow was given to the prodigal son in the end, and the flange short arrow was given to Bai Ye.

Now there are two more long-range combat capabilities.

at the same time--

Cao Xiaoqiang in front of the computer breathed a long sigh of relief, "Huh, it's finally done."

Looking at the handsome face on the screen, Cao Xiaoqiang nodded with satisfaction. In the end, he couldn't hold it back and searched the Internet for a face-shaping tutorial, but it was really pleasing to the eye.

It's time to start the game.

Just when Xia Yu and others were getting ready, a voice sounded in everyone's ears.

System prompts: The Lord of the World has officially arrived. World Lord Title [Immortal Xiaoqiang] - (Players with immortal status will not be considered defeated even if they are killed. Only by completely destroying their will can the world end).
