Online Game: The King of the New World - Chapter 2
Volume 2 The Beginning of Sadness
On August 1, 2222, the large virtual game “New World” that everyone was looking forward to was finally about to run. The specific opening time was 20:00 pm on that day. At that time, all online games in the world would be shut down at the same time, making way for “New World”.
At 19:55 pm, Xu You was lying in the ecological warehouse, quietly waiting for the login time to arrive. He couldn’t help but be filled with anticipation about what this game that the whole world was looking forward to would be like.
Ever since he bought the ecological warehouse back, his mother had not said anything. It seemed that his honesty had paid off that day. What would happen in the future? He could only rely on his own efforts.
19.55 seconds, 56 seconds … 59 seconds, 20 o’clock sharp! With a cracking sound, Xu You felt as if his surroundings had darkened, as if he had fallen into a dream. A few seconds later, his eyes lit up again. Before he could see the changes in his surroundings, a pleasant female voice sounded in his ears, “Hello, welcome to the New World. You can choose to create a character or exit the game. Please choose …”
“What a pure voice. If it’s used to call … uh, it’s better to quickly establish a character. Now is the time to seize the second!” When Xu You heard the system’s voice, he wicked himself.
“I chose to create a character!” Xu You took a look at the small, ancient-looking house. He guessed that the selection of the system should be done through dialogue, because there were no buttons around.
“You chose to create a role. Please note that only one person can create a role. Furthermore, this role is bound to you. If you are not satisfied in the future, you can only delete and re-create the role. Please choose carefully. Next, please confirm your role name.” The system’s friendly voice sounded in his ears, making people feel like they were bathed in spring breeze. Xu You had no choice but to admire the reality of the game.
“Yue Wuyou!”
“Please wait a moment … The name can be used, please choose the occupation of the character!” Fortunately, no one had snatched the name of the game that he had always used.
“Knight!”
‘”Please wait a moment …” After the profession has been determined, please choose a race. The races that can choose a knight profession are: humans, dwarves, elves, and tauren! ”
“Human!”
“… The appearance can be adjusted up and down, within 20%.”
“Reduce by 1%.” Xu You felt that he wasn’t ugly, but he wasn’t handsome either. It was better to keep a low profile.
[Please wait a moment. Character generation … Ding! Character generation complete! Please browse through all attributes. If you are not satisfied, you can regenerate!]
After the system finished speaking, a figure appeared in front of Xu You. At first glance, it was the character that had been created. Next to it was a screen of light that displayed the attributes of his character.
The maximum attribute value of a new character born in the New World was 10 and the minimum was 1. It was automatically generated by the main brain of the New World, the Heart of the World, based on the character’s occupation and the player’s physical fitness. As for how to judge, only the Heart of the World knew.
Xu You had already understood what these newbies should know. He looked at his stats and said,
Endurance: 6
Strength: 6
Agility: 5
Intelligence: 6
Spirit: 7
Charm: 7
Reputation and resistance were both zero.
“Why is it so low? Is my physical fitness that bad? Did the system make a mistake?” Xu You was originally filled with anticipation.
The attributes of the characters in New World are just a few of the above, The main ones are: Endurance affects HP, Strength affects attack intensity (different classes), Agility affects dodging and critical strikes (some classes also affect attack strength), Intelligence affects magic power and magic strength, Spirit affects magic power recovery speed and negative state resistance, Charm affects NPC’s favorable impression of you.
Xu You still had an average attribute of 7 or more, but reality was always cruel. Not to mention intelligence and spirit, to Xu You, who was planning to take the path of a disciplinary knight, endurance, strength, and agility were on average less than 6. This was truly too crippled. With deep resentment, Xu You chose to regenerate.
…
Life is like chocolate. You never know what color the next one is. Xu You didn’t expect that he would stay in the login interface for half an hour. In this half an hour, he wasn’t satisfied with the regenerated attributes, because not a single one of them exceeded 8. It seems that Xu You’s physical fitness and character are really not good.
“Holy shit, why is this happening again” Xu You once again generated a character attribute. The highest one was only 7, and it was also a Spirit attribute. Could it be that he was going to undergo treatment?
“No! I won’t make milk even if I’m beaten to death! Let’s do it again. This time, no matter what attributes you have, you’ll have to enter the game!” Xu You knew that he had spent half an hour creating the character, which meant that he was already half an hour behind the others! As the saying goes, a good start is half the success, but Xu You, who wants to have a good initial attribute and enter the game as soon as possible to start leveling up, forgets that he can’t have both fish and bear paws.
‘”You chose to regenerate the character attributes. Please wait a moment … Ding, character generation is complete. Please browse through the attributes. If you are not satisfied, you can regenerate!” The System’s voice did not show any impatience, even though she had repeated this sentence hundreds of times.
Xu You still had a sliver of hope in his heart. He hoped that his five main attributes would be greatly improved.
Endurance: 6
Strength: 7
Agility: 6
Intelligence: 4
Spirit: 6
…
“Alright, this time’s stats are pretty good. At the very least, the strength value is 7. Let’s enter the game.” Xu Youdan felt incomparably painful. He finally understood that his attributes were at this level. Half an hour! He had wasted half an hour on his initial stats. He absolutely couldn’t tell his two bad friends about this kind of thing. En, he couldn’t even tell them about it even if he was beaten to death.
‘”You chose to enter the game. The system is allocating Novice Village to you. Please wait a moment … Ding, the system is allocating Novice Village No. 98765-Xiaochi Village. Next, please enjoy everything the New World has brought you. Have a good time!” The System’s voice grew farther and farther away, and Xu You felt as if he had fallen into a dream. He woke up again, revealing an ancient Chinese village in front of him.
Little Pool Village, even though it was called a village, However, it only looked like a street. Xu You was at one end of the village, surrounded by some abandoned fields and woods. Because the time in the game was symmetrical with the real time, it was 20:32 pm. The bright moon covered her face, revealing only a small portion of it. The dim moonlight shone on the ground, making the village look exceptionally beautiful.
Xu You stood in the middle of the crowd. Like most new players, he was shocked by the real scene of the game when he appeared in Novice Village. Only when he regained his senses did he begin to familiarize himself with the game. He waved his fist, jumped, pinched himself, familiarized himself with various movements, and finally revealed an expression of admiration and admiration.
“As expected, it’s a game with 95% reality. Apart from pain, it’s practically the same as reality!” Xu You couldn’t help but praise.
After behaving like a madman for a few minutes, Xu You finally remembered what to do. He looked around for a while before walking towards a crowd gathering place beside him. The first thing a player had to do when they were born was to find an NPC. In fact, there was no need to find it. Normally, the place with the most people was the place where the NPC was located.
“A lot of people” Xu You looked at the human NPCs surrounded by seven or eight rows of players in front of him. This game player has a size, You can’t just stand there overlapping like the previous games, Therefore, he could only helplessly wait. He was half an hour late. There were still so many people here. It was indeed an epoch-making game. The official website of China had predicted that the first batch of players to log in at 20 o’clock would exceed 100 million. There were 100,000 Novice Villages in China, so the number of players in a Novice Village would not be less than 1,000 at this time.
Fortunately, as long as the settings of the game were within a certain range, Players can interact with NPCs. Moreover, an NPC can interact with all players within its scope at the same time, so it won’t waste too much time. Every player feels that an NPC is talking to you when communicating with an NPC. In fact, from the perspective of players outside the scope, an NPC is motionless unless they are in the same team or team.
Another situation was that when there was only one person around the NPC communicating with him, regardless of whether the others were close or far away, teammates or not would be able to see the actions of the NPC and that player. This could be considered a feature of the “New World”.
Not long after the first 50 players finished communicating, Xu You finally squeezed into Uncle Riding Dragon’s interaction range. Just as Xu You was speaking to Uncle Riding Dragon, Uncle Riding Dragon had already noticed him and spoke to him.
“Yue Wuyou! Your name is Yue Wuyou, isn’t it? Very good, very good. Are you new here?” Uncle Riding Dragon’s tone carried a trace of kindness as he looked at Xu You with a friendly gaze, unlike the black-faced look he had when talking to other players.
“Yes, sir, I’m new here!” Xu You looked at the knight-dressed Uncle Riding Dragon and asked doubtfully, “Does this NPC know him? But is this possible?”
“Very good, very good! Recently, the animals around Little Pool Village have been affected by an inexplicable aura. They have all become bloodthirsty and furious beasts. As righteous knights, can you help clean them up?” Uncle Riding Dragon looked even happier after receiving the answer.
“Of course!” Xu You curled his lips. Sure enough, all large-scale online games started with this kind of conversation.
“Very good! I knew you would agree. Then, go to the east of the village and kill 15 furious turkeys and retrieve their feathers as proof!” Uncle Chenglong said happily.
“Ding, you accepted the mission ‘Raging Turkey’! Please check the mission information bar for details.” The system’s voice echoed again.
Just as Xu You was about to ask where the quest information bar was, a screen of light appeared in front of him. On it was the details of the quest, “The Raging Turkey”, and the novice tutorials that every game had sounded in his ears.
[Mission Bar Summon: …]
After a period of study and exploration, Xu You knew that the so-called taskbar was originally summoned by will. As long as you mutter the word taskbar, it pops up, After a few playful attempts, Xu You finally mastered this “action” skillfully. Then the other information boards should also be summoned like this. However, Xu You tried calling the “Item Bar”, “Status Bar”, and so on a few times without any reaction. It seemed that the novice tutorial was triggered step by step as the game progressed, but this had already made Xu You feel incomparably satisfied.
I can’t find anything else about myself, Xu You could only go on a mission first, The turkey quest prompt field was not far away. It was just to the east of the village exit. This deserted field was about the size of a football field. However, at a glance, there were 110 people playing football. They even said that they wanted to kill a turkey. No turkey or feathers were found. It was not easy to refresh one of them. In less than two seconds, they were killed by the surrounding players.
Facing such a situation, Xu You could only join the wave of chicken snatching. At this time, the novice tutorial appeared again!
After another round of searching, the item bar and equipment bar could be summoned, but both of them were empty. Xu You was too lazy to look at them. After equipping the gray two-handed sword from the system, he began to search for turkeys. It was said that the battle in this game was very exciting.
…
“Ding! Your teammate ‘I’m not Huang Lao Xie’ has left the team! The team is disbanded!”
Nine out of ten things go wrong in life, Xu You finally experienced this principle for nearly an hour after he opened his clothes. He had been in the field for almost half an hour, but he had only killed eight turkeys. He was still half way to the goal of killing 15 turkeys. It was all because there were too many people robbing monsters in the field. At the beginning, he had experienced a lot of fun because of the real pleasure of fighting monsters. But not long after, Xu You, who could not rob monsters, became boring.
It wasn’t that Xu You hadn’t thought of giving up the mission to kill monsters and upgrade first, but seeing that the level 2 wild boar not far from the field had nearly double the health of a level 1 turkey, he dispelled this thought. He had lost more than 40 HP killing a turkey alone, and the total HP was only 60. It was impossible for him to fight monsters and upgrade. Who told him that his initial attributes were low?
Teaming up is also a quick way to complete a task, Most of the turkeys Xu You killed were done by teaming up, But we haven’t killed a few yet, The last teammate on the team had already completed his mission and left the team, The surrounding teams were filled with people, so Xu You became lonely again. Afterwards, one or two turkeys happened to refresh by his side, and his reaction was fast enough to snatch the monster. Time waited for no one. Xu You, who wanted to level up, felt extremely powerless. With so many people and close combat, snatching the monster was simply too difficult.
However, it wasn’t that Xu You hadn’t gained anything. He had basically completed the novice tutorial and had a certain understanding of the game, but that was all.
Xu You had no choice but to temporarily give up fighting monsters and rest to calm his anxiety. He walked to a tree outside the field and sat down. For the first time, he carefully looked at his stats.

The resistance was all 0.
There were only three pieces of equipment: low-quality breastplate (rough): 16 armor, heavy armor; Inferior leg armor (rough): 10 armor, heavy armor; Bad Wood Sword (Rough): Two-handed weapon, attack 2-4, attack interval 2.8 seconds.
“What a low number. Is there a lower attribute in China than me … Hmm? Why is my charm value 10?!!” Xu You’s eyes suddenly widened.
