The extraordinary daily life of people with super powers

Liu Ming thought: "Isn't this more promising than going to school?"

It is now the year 2123. The world population of Xuanxing has already exceeded billion and is approaching billion. There has been great progress in entertainment such as games, but technology has not reached the point of changing the world.

Humans do not yet have the ability to travel across interstellar space and are still trapped on the mysterious planet.

Although the world has not been completely changed, the development of various robots has caused many people to lose their jobs.

After all, compared to humans, robots can work non-stop for 24 hours and do not need to be paid.

Moreover, robots are more sophisticated and there is almost no possibility of error.

Even if it's broken, just replace it with another robot.

Because of the good quality and low price, almost no worker can compare.

In this era, more than 99.9 percent of students are unemployed upon graduation and rely entirely on government assistance.

Many people at the bottom of society live a very depressed life, just like the cyber world in science fiction novels.

If civilians do not have special skills, they must be prepared to be eliminated.

"Now, we have to compete for jobs with humans and robots. This is too outrageous," Liu Ming complained.

He is now in his third year of high school and will graduate soon, facing the difficulty of finding a job.

Due to the advancement of science and technology, the development of robots, and the increase in human population, in order to reduce resource consumption, the entire human society has abolished universities.

Although I don’t have a university in name, I have learned more knowledge. From the first grade of junior high school to the third grade of high school, the education and knowledge I have received is more and more exaggerated than that of the entire university.

Many people can't continue learning.

But there is no way, there are too many people, if you don’t learn, there are plenty of people who will.

But even after completing their studies, only geniuses can find good jobs.

Ordinary students like Liu Ming can only find another way.

Live streaming is their first choice.

"Fortunately, robots are rather dull and don't understand the ways of the world, otherwise the live streaming industry would have been taken over by them."

Live streaming is the modern term for the ancient practice of performing in public to earn a living.

If a man takes a fancy to you and gives you a tip, you may not have to worry about the rest of your life.

It’s just that live streaming is very competitive now. According to statistics from domestic media, there is one anchor for every three people on average, and the intensity of competition is unprecedented.

Liu Ming deeply feels the difficulty of finding employment.

He stopped thinking about it. There was no point in thinking too much.

"The game will officially launch in a few minutes, I have to take advantage of my internal testing."

Liu Ming quickly put on his helmet and lay down on the bed.

A few minutes passed quickly, and a prompt appeared in his sight, asking him whether to start the game. If he wanted to start it, he needed to click "Agree Statement".

⒊Ⅰ Erba Art Research

There's no need to think about it. Liu Ming doesn't have the patience to read a statement that's dozens of pages long. Anyway, if you don't agree, he won't let you enter the game.

After Liu Ming clicked to agree, he felt dizzy and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a small village.

"Oh my god, this level of realism and the fragrance of grass in the air are even more outrageous than the last internal test."

Liu Ming squatted on the ground, stretched out his hand and stroked the green grass on the lawn, feeling the warm touch, and was a little dazed for a moment.

"Is this 80 percent? If you say it's 99 percent, I'll believe it!" Liu Ming was shocked.

This game has a face-shaping segment and also has initial value allocation.

However, in order to enter the game as quickly as possible, he skipped the face-shaping process and used the character recommended by the system—an ordinary twenty-year-old young man.

As for the numerical distribution, he distributed it equally based on his own experience during the internal test.

"Out of the ten initial attribute points, add three points each for strength, speed and body, and save the remaining point for next time."

What makes "New Era" different from other virtual games is that it only has three measurements: strength, speed and physique.

However, Liu Ming knew that the added attribute points only improved a small amount, and what really played a decisive role in the battle were the various skills and weapons.

These account for the bulk of combat power, and attribute points are just a bonus, so just add them evenly.

"System, turn on the recording mode." Liu Ming suddenly shouted.

【Recording mode is on.】

"New Era" has an in-game recording function. Liu Ming plans to record all his strategies, edit them when he gets out, and then put them on the video website to attract a large wave of traffic.

"I have to hurry now. There must be a lot of people who have the same idea as me. I must complete the missions and kill monsters as soon as possible to reach level 20, and then complete the advanced missions to become a first-level professional master."

In this game, you cannot learn skills before level 20. Only after reaching level 20, completing advanced tasks, and activating the job transfer mode, can you learn skills.

The gap in combat effectiveness among players also began from this moment.

"First, let's see which novice village I am in now."

"I hope the system won't assign me to one of those hellish novice villages."

During the internal test, some novice villages were very weird. Either the surrounding resources were barren, or there was a big boss nearby.

The players can't develop at all.

They later gave feedback, hoping that the game company could balance the resources in the Novice Village, but they never expected that the game company would ignore them.

Yes, Yanxing Company is the world's largest gaming company, spanning multiple industries, including medicine, arms, aerospace, etc.

Just a few players have no way to change their decision.

Liu Ming looked up and found a familiar village.

He recalled in his mind and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Great, it's a novice village that's very suitable for development. I remember it was an ancient oriental country."

"New Era" is too large in scale and involves many elements, including magic, martial arts, and immortal heroes... The skills are really varied. There is nothing "New Era" can't do, except what you can't think of.

There is a common understanding among beta test players, that is, the further away from fantasy, the more difficult the advanced tasks will be.

The easiest advanced tasks are naturally martial arts, and the most difficult ones are fairy tales and magic.

However, despite the difficulty, the final combat effectiveness is similar.

According to speculation, it may be that immortal magic is just fantasy and has no basis in reality, so it is difficult.

"I'm unarmed right now. Even if I want to kill monsters, I have to take a knife."

During the internal testing period, he had reached level 20 of the first stage. As long as he could complete the first stage advanced tasks, he would be able to become one of the top second stage masters. Unfortunately, he ran out of time in the end.

But even so, during the internal test, the level 20 of the first stage was only lower than those big guys.

This is enough to prove Liu Ming's gaming talent.

"I remember the small boss of this place. He's a skeleton knight. He's very weak. I can go and kill him when I reach level 10 or so."

"But he is a boss after all, so he has a name. I think his name is..."

"Liu Ansheng."

Chapter 35: Skeleton Knight Liu Ansheng

When Liu Ming was conducting internal testing, he liked to investigate the backgrounds of various game bosses, especially those from the ancient Eastern countries, after all, he himself was from there.

He was deeply impressed by this skeleton knight Liu Ansheng.

In the background story, the two countries were at war, and Liu Ansheng's side was defeated. The commander-in-chief, along with dozens of personal guards, retreated all the way to Liangjian Gorge, and was finally trapped there by the enemy.

In order to allow the commander to escape successfully and return to the country for reinforcements, Liu Ansheng guarded the entrance to Liangjian Gorge alone for three days and three nights. Relying on the terrain advantage, the enemy army of 30,000 troops was unable to rush in.

In the end, Liu Ansheng died of exhaustion in battle, while his commander-in-chief successfully escaped.

The enemy commander was impressed by his bravery and ordered him to be buried at the entrance of Liangjian Gorge.

Later, perhaps due to the intersection of strange energies from heaven and earth, Liu Ansheng's corpse crawled out of the ground and has been guarding the Liangjian Gorge for a long time ever since. Anyone who wants to pass through this place must defeat him.

The reason why Liu Ming was so impressed with him was that he was guarding the entrance alone and 30,000 people could not attack. This kind of fighting power was too incredible.

It is impossible for such a person to exist in reality. It is absolutely exaggerated.

"Fortunately, the game officials did not set the combat power according to the background, otherwise no one would be able to survive."

When Liu Ming conducted the internal test, the Novice Village was not nearby, so he did not fight the Skeleton Knight.

But he had heard news from other testers and knew that as long as this Skeleton Knight had a weapon and was at level 10 or so, and paid a little attention, he could clear the level.

"In the early stages of upgrading, you can kill monsters faster, but in the later stages of upgrading, you can complete tasks faster."

Liu Ming was thinking as he moved towards the village. He was going to change the tattered clothes given to him by the system and borrow a good weapon.

Then start killing monsters!

A few hours later, when Liu Ming stepped out of the village again, he had changed his clothes.

He wore coarse cloth clothes and cloth shoes, and had two sickles slung around his waist.

"Fuck, the intelligence of these NPCs in the village has not changed from last time, they are still very stupid."

"I overestimated Yanxing Company. I didn't expect that it only had a high degree of simulation on the outside, but the core part didn't have any major breakthroughs."

For a virtual game, appearance may be important, but it is not the decisive factor. The core gameplay is the important factor that determines whether it is fun or not.

What is the most important thing about virtual games?

Of course it is the intelligence level of the NPC.

He entered the village and wanted to find the village chief, but the villagers told him that he had to pick a few apples for them before they would tell him where the village chief was.

This is not difficult to understand. It’s the nature of the mission. Liu Ming also understands it.

It turned out that the apple was right on the big tree next to the NPC villager, and he could pick it just by stretching out his hand.

"The mission is simple, but you are insulting my identity as a hardcore gamer!"

“I felt like my intelligence was insulted.”

But in order to continue playing, Liu Ming did as he was told, and finally got the news about the village chief from the villagers.

The reason he went to find the village chief was because he wanted to get a map of the nearby area, which only the village chief had.

When he found the village chief, he told him that he had to destroy the monster at the entrance of the two gorges.

Liu Ming was delighted when he heard it, as it coincided with his idea.

Then he asked the village chief how to get there, as he didn't know the map.

The village chief said that you have to kill him before he can give you the map.

"Fuck, I want a map, but I have to kill the Skeleton Knight. I can't find the Skeleton Knight. I need a map, so go find the Skeleton Knight."

"What kind of closed-loop ritual is this?"

Liu Ming realized that he couldn't communicate with this mentally retarded NPC.

"Perhaps these NPCs are not important, so in order to free up computing resources, their intelligence is low. Those high-level NPCs and NPCs with important plots may have higher intelligence."

Liu Ming comforted himself in this way, but he only encountered one or two highly intelligent NPCs during the internal test.

He stopped thinking about it. Fortunately, the village chief finally gave him some novice equipment, two sickles and coarse cloth clothes.

"According to Villager A, the most common animal nearby is the Phantom Rabbit."

"This thing is very stupid and very easy to kill."

"I will first upgrade my level to level 10, and then slowly go find the Skeleton Knight."

Liu Ming held two sickles in his hands and looked towards the grove outside with murderous eyes.

"Phantom Rabbit, kill!"

…………

At the entrance of Liangjian Gorge, Tang Ansheng looked around and found that he had really turned into a skeleton, with a horse following him.

"What world have I entered?"
