Chapter 452: Chapter 269: This Game is Awesome (Update 1)_1
After officially starting the game, Liuzi completely forgot the jitters he just had and began to indulge in the world of the game.
There was no helping it, virtual reality was just too amazing!
This game was too realistic!
The exquisite modeling and detail handling of Fang Cheng Studio, enhanced by virtual reality technology, were gloriously prominent.
With a full range of sensory experiences for all five senses, everything felt terrifyingly real. Walking on a muddy path, Liuzi could even feel the sludge pulling at his boots, along with the faint stench in the air.
This was only at 15%. If it could be cranked up to 30%, it might excite someone to the point of passing out on the spot.
...
Moreover, what made this place more interesting than reality was that it didn’t aim to recreate reality one hundred percent.
Characters wouldn’t feel fatigued, their strength was much greater than in reality, and because the game pod intervened in the nervous system through electrical signals, players’ reflexes in the game were further enhanced, making Liuzi feel as though he had become a superhero.
The totally new sensations made Liuzi linger and forget to return; even walking seemed so interesting.
Newly born players were all equipped with the most common outfit, which couldn’t be removed: cloth clothes and leather boots, without weapons or money.
Liuzi could understand this point; after all, there had been games that gave out premium currency to new accounts, leading to people using hacks to repeatedly create characters, transfer the premium currency, then delete the character and create a new one, thereby bilking the game developer.
The end result was a total collapse of the server’s economy, and it took a month of in-game benefits offered by the game developer on other servers to settle the issue.
Noticing his state, Liuzi felt there was a backstory to dig into, so he tentatively asked, “You seem very tired.”
“I’ve had too many people assigned to me; I’ve probably seen over a hundred individuals. But don’t worry, I have the Gods’ Blessing, a few seconds rest will suffice. The key issue is that you Envoys are uniquely ugly, and it seems every one of you wanted to talk to me over a dozen times, muttering strange words like ‘hidden quest’.”
Liuzi awkwardly turned his head away.
Indeed, from the NPCs’ point of view, the behavior of them players did seem odd.
After taking a sip of bright red wine, the young priest said, “Welcome to your arrival, Envoy of the Gods. We just happen to need you; we’ve lost too many adventurers recently.”
“Why is that?” Liuzi asked curiously.
“There was turmoil in Yifate, and many adventurers turned to become mercenaries. But those adventurers are notoriously greedy and ruthless; they probably took the nobles’ rewards and ran off, then found somewhere else to enjoy themselves for a while and would only return when they ran out of money. Speaking of which, do you know how the rebellion in Yifate is going? We haven’t received news from there in a long time?”
Liuzi thought for a moment, then replied, “It depends on whose side you’re on. If you’re with the nobles, then the situation doesn’t look good.”
“Ah, I see... Does it have anything to do with you?”
“A tiny bit...”
“A tiny bit!” the Goddess of Art smacked Liuzi’s shoulder and said, “It was all planned by you guys! You boosted production, you reformed the nobles, you instigated the rebellion against evil, you should be proud!”
Liuzi looked at the Goddess of Art speechlessly, thinking to himself that fools will be fools.
I’m here fishing for information, and you’re stirring up trouble.
Do you really think we’re some kind of mindless slaughter duo where I do the killing and you make the noise?
