Chapter 1191: Addicted to Games
"Haozi, what are you playing?"
Qin Hao thought for a while and said, "Let's play the mage first during the internal testing phase. This way, the three mages in the team can level up quickly."
Soon, Qin Hao created the game, and several people entered the game one after another.
The picture on the screen changed, and a simple village appeared in front of them.
Ginkgo Village.
Xia Fenghua looked at Xie Wanghe's game character and laughed, "Why do you look like a green toad?"
"You're not much better." Xie Wanghe replied and began to fumble with how to control the character.
Ma Siyi looked at the computer with a confused look on her face. She had never played video games before, let alone such a complicated game.
Seeing this, Qin Hao pulled a chair next to her and began to teach her step by step.
"The left mouse button can control the character's walking and attacking. If you see something on the ground, you can pick it up by clicking with the left mouse button..."
With Qin Hao's on-site teaching, Xie Wang and they quickly mastered the basic operations.
Just when they put on the novice equipment given by the system and were about to show their skills, the screen suddenly went black and only very blurry figures could be seen.
Xie Wanghe shouted to the Internet cafe owner: "Boss, what kind of crappy computer is this? Why is the screen black?"
"That's right, the screens of several of us are all black."
The Internet cafe owner immediately became anxious when he heard this. These computers are very expensive, costing several thousand dollars each. It would be troublesome if they broke down.
Qin Hao smiled and said, "It's not that the computer screen is black, it's that it's dark in the game. There's a candle in your backpack, light it and you can see."
"Fuck, there's still time to design it. This game is awesome." Zhou Haikuo cursed unconsciously.
Xie Wanghe and Shao Xingchi were also amazed at this design.
When they lit the candles, they saw many people in the chat channel complaining about not being able to see clearly. Qin Hao and the others smiled at each other. This feeling was even better than cheating.
While the other players hadn't figured out how to light the candles and couldn't see clearly, Qin Hao, Xie Wang and a few others began to clear out the wild monsters roaming around the village.
"After killing the deer, you can also cut meat from their carcasses. This is an important source of income in the early stages. You can sell it to NPCs for money."
Xie Wanghe was surprised: "Is this possible?"
"This game is much more fun than I thought." Shao Xingchi has always liked video games.
Qin Hao smiled secretly, this was just the beginning, the real charm of the legendary gameplay was far from being touched.
At first, Qin Hao and his group killed deer and scarecrows in Ginkgo Village and quickly reached level five. At this time, there were more people, and often a monster would be beaten to death as soon as it was refreshed, which made Xie Wanghe so angry that he jumped to his feet.
"Let's go, let's go to the outer area to level up."
Ma Siyi was already able to skillfully control the game character and followed Qin Hao's magician all the way out of the village.
"Hey, the monster has changed."
Qin Hao reminded, "These two monsters are the Rake Cat and the Hook Cat. The Rake Cat attacks quickly, and the Hook Cat can jump and attack. Not only will it drop gold coins, but it will also drop equipment. Xie Wanghe and Shao Xingchi will be responsible for attracting the monsters. We should move forward slowly. The Mage and Taoist Priest are still relatively fragile, so don't let them die."
Ma Siyi roughly understood what Qin Hao meant by "hang up", which should mean the death of the game character. He nervously followed Qin Hao's instructions and waited until the monsters started attacking Xie Wanghe and Shao Xingchi before starting to attack.
"Wow, the equipment really exploded."
Xie Wanghe yelled, and the others came over to take a look, and were all disappointed.
"I thought it was some kind of equipment, but it's just a wooden sword."
Just when Xie Wanghe was embarrassed, Qin Hao said: "This is not a wooden sword, but an ebony sword. It is much better than the novice equipment we have, and this is a small top-grade magic 0-5."
Seeing that everyone looked confused, Qin Hao gave some scientific advice.
"The basic attributes of equipment in Legendary are generally the same. Occasionally, some equipment with attributes beyond the basic attributes will be dropped. For example, the original attributes of this ebony sword were: attack 4-8, magic 0-1, but this ebony sword has an increased magic attack limit of 4 points."
"The 4-point magic attack limit can greatly improve the magic attack of the mage. This weapon can be used until level 15. For a novice, it is absolutely a top-notch item. Xie Wanghe is lucky."
Upon hearing this, Xie Wanghe made a face at Xia Fenghua with pride: "Did you hear that? This is called top-grade equipment. Haozi, I'll give you this ebony sword. You are the best at using it and can bring out the best effect of this top-grade weapon."
"What a lucky guy! Humph! I'm sure I'll get some better equipment later." Xia Fenghua went to find a cat with a spiked rake and continued to yell, "Go ahead and hand over your top-quality equipment."
Qin Hao turned around and saw Ma Siyi looking at him with a puzzled look on his face: "What's wrong?"
"Hasn't this game just started closed beta? How do you know so much?"
Sure enough, Ma Siyi is the most careful and sensitive among these people.
"Although this game has just been represented by Shanda in China, it has been operating in Korea for a year, and there are many guides on their forums."
After listening to Qin Hao's explanation, Ma Siyi didn't think much about it and continued to concentrate on leveling up.
Qin Hao, Xie Wang and the others went home to eat and then ran back to continue working. In order to prevent the machines from being occupied by others, they did not get off the computers and asked the Internet cafe owner to help watch over them.
Finally, the little wizard controlled by Qin Hao flashed with golden light and reached level seven. About a quarter of an hour later, Xie Wang and several others also reached level seven.
"Level 7 is a watershed. We can learn new professional skills. Follow me back to the city from Ginkgo Valley. First learn professional skills and then go to other places to level up. The leveling here is too slow, and the equipment and gold coins dropped are too few. It's not cost-effective."
The group ran and killed monsters all the way to Bicchi City.
"Wow, the city in this game is so spectacular." Shao Xingchi stood at the city gate, amazed.
“Don’t just stand there like an idiot. Hurry up and catch up. If you lose us, we won’t wait for you.” Xie Wanghe couldn’t wait to learn new professional skills.
Qin Hao first asked a few people to sell the unused items in their backpacks to the NPC store, and then took them to the bookstore.
"The warrior will learn basic swordsmanship, the mage will learn fireball magic, and the Taoist will learn healing magic. After that, we will go to the pharmacy to buy medicine. Remember to buy all magic potions, and the other person can buy two candles."
Xie Wanghe asked in confusion: "Why only buy magic potions?"
"The mage kills monsters quickly, and many small monsters are killed before they get close to you. It won't cost the warrior too much health, and the Taoist priest's healing spell can also help you recover health."
"Is this still possible?"
The group carried several bags full of magic potions and set out from the north gate of Bicchi City. They went up all the way and soon arrived at a cave.
"Wang He and the Xingchi warriors go in first. Light the candles before entering and be ready to drink life potions at any time."
Xie Wanghe and Shao Xingchi didn't ask why, and just did whatever Qin Hao told them to do.
After the two of them went in, Qin Hao saw that there were not many monsters at the entrance of the cave, so he called Ma Siyi and the others in.
"Wow, the monsters here drop a lot of gold coins, and also equipment."
The monsters in the Skeleton Cave were famously generous, causing Xie Wang and a few others to scream in surprise. Soon, their equipment was updated, and the speed of spawning monsters increased.
In the next half month, Qin Hao, Xie Wang and the others would hang out in the Internet cafe every day. The Internet fees were basically paid by Qin Hao, otherwise Ma Siyi would not be willing to spend so much money here.
The experience and explosion rate of the internal test are higher than normal. In half a month, several people reached level 35. Level 35 in the early stage of Legend is considered a qualitative change, and all three professions have qualitative change skills.
Qin Hao simply stopped leveling up and took Ma Siyi and the others to run around the map while explaining some of the game settings to them.
Before the internal beta test was shut down, Ma Siyi and her friends had gained some understanding of the game Legend.
At the same time, Qin Hao and his classmates also welcomed the start of the sixth grade.
For a long time after school started, Xie Wanghe and Shao Xingchi were somewhat uninterested, and Ma Siyi was also anxiously waiting for the public beta to start.
Fortunately, on September 9, the public beta of Legend started as scheduled.
Since September 9th was a Friday and they had to go to school, Xie Wanghe and Shao Xingchi came up with a tricky idea. They pretended to have stomachaches in the afternoon and sneaked out to surf the Internet, saying that they wanted to seize the initiative.
Ma Siyi originally had the same idea. She was more eager to make money than anyone else. Every day, she watched her grandmother working hard for her at such an old age, but was powerless to do anything. She wished she could grow up overnight.
"If we all run away, Xie Wang and the others will definitely be exposed. It doesn't matter. With our understanding of the game, we can catch up even if we go after school."
After hearing what Qin Hao said, Ma Siyi gave up his plan to skip class.
When school was over at 4:30 in the afternoon, Qin Hao and his group came to the Internet cafe. Xie Wanghe and Shao Xingchi were already at level twelfth.
"Quick, Thunder server, log in quickly, we will take you there."
After Qin Hao and his group sat down, they began to enter their account numbers to log into the game.
This time, Qin Hao chose the profession of warrior. The reason was very simple. Warriors were good at PK in the early stage. After the public beta, there were more players. Where there were people, there were rivers and lakes. PK was inevitable. It was hard to trust Xie Wanghe and Shao Xingchi, the two half-baked warriors.
"Haozi, why did you change your profession?" Xie Wanghe noticed that Qin Hao chose the warrior profession.
"I suddenly want to play a warrior." Qin Hao replied casually.
"That's what I said. Men should play warriors and fight with real weapons. Hiding in the back and using skills is not a skill."
As soon as Xie Wanghe finished speaking, Xia Fenghua said, "Siyi, Xie Wanghe said you are incompetent, so don't take him to level up later."
"Dahuazi, don't talk nonsense. Siyi, I didn't..."
At the moment, Ma Siyi had no mood to argue with Xie Wang and the others. She wanted to make up for the lost time.
"Let's not spawn monsters here for now. Let's go to Biqi City to meet up with Wang and the others, and then go directly to the Skull Cave."
With the resources that Xie Wanghe and Shao Xingchi had accumulated in advance, there was no need to compete with others for monsters in the Novice Village. The key was to catch up with the level as soon as possible while there were probably not many players finding the Skeleton Cave.
Ma Siyi and his companions were also very familiar with the process. They cooperated in killing monsters along the way. After passing through the Ginkgo Valley, they finally met up with Xie Wang and the others in Bichi City.
"Don't bring too much medicine for now. Let's go to the Skull Cave first and come back after we reach level 7. We can learn the professional skills and then buy some more magic medicine."
“Okay, this time you just stay behind us and gain experience.” Xie Wanghe said, patting his chest.
The group arrived at the Skeleton Cave, where there were already a few players leveling up there. However, with the two "great warriors" Xie Wanghe and Shao Xingchi there, no one came to provoke them.
The experience in the Skeleton Cave is very rich. Qin Hao and his party successfully reached level seven and then returned to the city together.
After each of them learned their professional skills, they emptied their backpacks of equipment, sold the better ones to players, and threw the inferior ones directly to the NPCs. They then filled a bag with magic potions and continued to move towards the Skeleton Cave.
By ten o'clock in the evening, Qin Hao and Ma Siyi had reached level 16, while Xie Wanghe and Shao Xingchi had reached level 18.
Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Hao suggested: "Let's go back first, in case your parents come to the Internet cafe to arrest you."
Although Xie Wanghe was exhausted, he was still reluctant to leave: "Let's play for a while longer. We can still go back at 11 o'clock."
Even Ma Siyi was reluctant to go back.
Qin Hao thought for a while and said, "How about this? I'll make an automatic leveling plug-in and ask the boss to run it all night. This way, I won't have to worry about falling behind in level."
"Is this possible?" Zhou Haikuo's eyes lit up.
Xie Wanghe and Shao Xingchi were overjoyed when they heard this: "Then hurry up and do it."
Ma Siyi and Xia Fenghua did not doubt Qin Hao's ability. To them, Qin Hao knew so many things that it would be surprising if there was something he didn't know.
About half an hour later, Qin Hao's leveling plug-in went through several rounds of testing and received unanimous praise from Xie Wang and several others.
"Haha, with this cheat, we don't have to skip classes to surf the Internet, and our levels won't fall behind."
In the next two days, as more and more players came to play Legend in the Internet cafe, Qin Hao and his team began to become famous. However, there was only a few machines in the Internet cafe. The boss connected all the other dozen machines to the Internet, but the demand still could not meet the supply. Many people could only stand back and watch.
Qin Hao and his companions are among the best in the entire server in terms of level and equipment, so naturally they cannot avoid attracting attention.
Of course, there were also people who wanted to take advantage of their accounts and equipment, but in the end they were all defeated by Qin Hao, Xie Wanghe and the other two. Qin Hao was mainly responsible for beating people, while Xie Wanghe and Shao Xingchi were responsible for attracting fire and taking the beatings. Then they would come back to help them after Qin Hao had dealt with his opponents.
"These three guys may not look very old, but they are really ruthless. Even the group led by Tong San were defeated by them."
During these two days, some people wanted to steal Qin Hao and his friends' equipment secretly when they were not around, but they found that this plug-in had a built-in mouse lock function and could not be moved at all. Even when the computer was turned off, it would automatically start and log in.
After two days of leveling up, Qin Hao and his group all reached level 30. When most other players at the same stage were still struggling around level , this level could be said to be the best in the entire server.
At the same time, Qin Hao and his party’s equipment can be described as luxurious. Although they cannot be said to be top-grade equipment, they are all small top-grade equipment.
"Should we consider selling some equipment now?" Ma Siyi has no interest in games, she just wants to make money from it.
"Now is not the time. Let's go to another place to level up. The equipment there is more valuable."
"Where?"
"Zuma Temple."
