Rebirth Of The Noble Mage Behind The Scenes Novel - Chapter 20
Chapter 20: The First Thing To Do After Entering the Virtual Game
After the race selection was over, the details adjustment options appeared on the interface.
Adjustment of appearance? Upgrade it all! Optimized by 100%! What? At most 20%? Then max it out!
After a series of proficient maneuvers, Jiang Heng finally looked at the beautiful elf-like young man with satisfaction but then felt a little regretful.
What was the first thing he wanted to do after entering the holographic virtual game?
That’s right, build a female character!
However, after searching through all the options, he still could not find the gender option.
Jiang Heng swore that after he went offline, he would report this serious, stupid, pathetic and unforgivable evil bug to the authorities!
After the character was established, the interface showed the birth areas that could be chosen: the Gloria Empire, the Saint Messiah Empire, and the Ethel Federation. There were also background introductions below each region.
At the bottom of the interface were the character name input box and a dice. There were two comments below.
“The character name is what the NPC calls the player in the game., they can be changed in the game after registration.”
“WARNING, unique character names might attract the NPC’s attention or dislike. Recommended to randomize character name.”
Attention or dislike? Were NPCs that intelligent?
Jiang Heng was stunned. Due to the habit of professional gamers trying out new things, he retracted his hand that he had originally planned to register at random and entered a character name.
Fake Dragonborn
He chose to spawn in Gloria Empire. After confirming it, the crystal panel turned into light particles and dissipated.
Everything in front of him began to blur, and a pleasant voice sounded.
“Thank you for playing Mystical Era. I wish you a happy life ~”
When his vision returned to normal, Jiang Heng stood beside the flat white stone road in his hooded gray linen civilian clothes.
Exquisite brick structures extended from both sides of the road into the distance. Green vines crawled along the antique windows.
The pale green and red tiled roof glistened as the metal wind indicator spun gently on the roof ridge.
The sky was extremely blue. A few clouds lazily decorated the sky. The white was dazzling.
The four-wheeled carriages of the nobles traveled slowly in the middle of the road, and armored experts walked on both sides of the road. From time to time, merchants wandered in the crowd, peddling some snacks and handmade goods.
The towering city wall stood a little further away, their mottled gray stone walls were covered in moss.
Guards patrolled below the city walls. The morning sun was blocked by the city walls, casting a huge shadow over Jiang Heng.
The noise of the crowd echoed in his ears, and the air carried the unique scent of medieval cities.
Looking around in amazement, Jiang Heng couldn’t help but walk to the side of the building wall. He reached out and stroked the slightly rough brick wall.
A cold and rough touch came from his fingertips, no different from touching a real stone.
When he moved close enough, he could even smell the unique scent of the sunlight on the surface of the stone.
“Oh my god… If I didn’t know in advance, I would have thought that everything was real!”
A commoner passing by accidentally heard this and could not help but size up the elf as if he was looking at a fool.
The Last Dragonborn, who was immersed in amazement, did not notice this. He raised his hand and summoned the interface. The crystal-like interface appeared in front of him. The style was surprisingly compatible with the surrounding medieval environment.
In fact, the interface in the game was completely controlled by one’s mind. But the Last Dragonborn was used to using his hand to manually operate the status menu because he had played many VR-type games.

In addition to various attributes, at the bottom right corner of the interface, the mailbox suddenly flashed and an email appeared.
New news?
The last Dragonborn opened it out of curiosity and realized that it was the game knowledge and game guidance sent by the official platform to the new players.
< Mystical Era >
Dear player, thank you for buying and registering this game.
… This game is 98.25% simulated immersion game. Pain sense can be adjusted between 1% and 10%. The limit is 10%.
… Take note, due to its high level of simulation, the NPCs in the game have the same intelligence and emotions as real people. Please do not let down your guard against any NPC!
… In order to ensure authenticity, the game’s communication system used a carrier pigeon form. All new players could obtain a carrier pigeon for free.
The carrier pigeon and the system interface both had characteristics that could not be destroyed and could not be seen by NPCs. Players could use the keyboard to send words or write letters.
According to the distance between the recipient and the sender, each message sent by the pigeon would take an hour to three days of gaming time, and it is impossible to the pigeons to enter or exit any special map.
Players could buy intermediate and advanced messenger pigeons in the game shop. There would occasionally be top-grade messenger pigeons auctioned in the auction house.

As he watched, the expression of the Last Dragonborn gradually changed.
Each character initially had five Resurrection Crystals. Each time they died, one would be consumed. If the number of Resurrection Crystals was zero, the character would disappear forever.
Players could revive their characters through the reincarnation system, and each reincarnation cost 648 yuan per reincarnation.
Resurrection Crystals could not be dropped, could not be traded, could not be discarded, could be purchased in the game’s Merchant Shop at 888 yuan per item, and each character could only buy one.

[Exit Game]

?
Wasn’t this game too scammy?
The last dragonborn’s brows furrowed slightly as his expression changed.
After hesitating for a while, he clicked on the option helplessly.
It couldn’t be helped. The only game in the world that was completely immersive and realistic was a monopoly. The game developers really had the confidence to say ‘Dear player, I am your father’.
Of course, the family of the game developers probably wouldn’t be able to survive this wave of criticism.
Thinking for a moment, the elf was not in a hurry to close the panel. Instead, he clenched his right fist and punched his left forearm.
His arm felt like it was being pushed by someone, but the pain was very weak.
At the same time, the Health Points on the interface decreased by 1 to 119 / 120.
Was this the bluntness of pain? How interesting…
“Big brother, are you a refugee? How pitiful.”
Just as the Last Dragonborn was exclaiming to himself, a mellow voice suddenly sounded beside him.
