Chapter 5: It is impossible to move bricks

However, as soon as the person finished speaking, he disappeared.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment at the empty grass field with only a pair of shoe prints left.

"Where's the guy?"

“That’s unbelievable!”

"Bug?"

After a few seconds of confusion, the player who had just tried to take off his clothes reappeared in the same place. He explained angrily, "Fuck! I was just locked in a small dark room. The system warned me not to engage in unhealthy behavior. How can it be unhealthy if I take off my clothes? The Swordsman 13 next door can even take a shit and take a bath in the home! What a crappy Baby Bus game!"

"So...where's the game board?"

A female player with the ID [猪突猛进] asked weakly.

"Found it, it's on your arm! Look, there's a pattern on your wrist, press it and the game panel will pop up!"

"Fuck, it's true!"

"There's not even a guide for beginners. What a crappy game!"

"It's an internal test, please understand!"

A dozen people discussed the matter and soon began to explore the game functions and the surrounding environment.

Han Yi also opened the game panel and found that the interface design was very simple. Apart from personal information and four-dimensional values, there was an empty backpack interface and the custom settings that are common in major RPG games, plus a taskbar.

He skillfully turned off the pain sensation, turned on the color change warning for his vision, and turned up the hunger sensor to the maximum - otherwise it would be very easy to starve to death because of forgetting to eat.

After setting the details, he opened the taskbar.

There is only one task in it:

[Meet the Master]: [As a student invited to study abroad in another world, you must first find the master Fang Xianyu who is in charge of your studies. (Rewards: 200Exp, random primary cultivation method, open function [Identification], open function [School], open function [Cultivation])]

Han Yi has played quite a few MMORPG games. They are called role-playing games, but in fact they are just endless tasks, monster-killing and leveling up.

However, this mission description is also quite interesting. It seems that the players enter this world as "international students from another world"?

It’s a very creative design.

Han Yi thought so, opened the map, found the only golden dot on the map, found the right direction and started off.

Of course, not all players will complete the tasks honestly, especially in a virtual reality game that is so real that it feels like time travel.

A few players did not give up and started to harm the flowers and trees around them, trying to find identical leaves and plants to prove that the so-called AI autonomous evolution was a false gimmick.

Han Yi did not participate in this boring bug-finding behavior. He jogged and soon reached the mission point, which was a natural platform located halfway up the mountain. The rocks were as if cut by a knife, revealing a large area of ​​the mountain that looked like a flat land.

The mission NPC Fang Xianyu was standing quietly not far away. He was the Taiyin Golden Immortal who appeared in the game trailer.

She was wearing a long green dress, and she looked as beautiful as a fairy concubine. The breeze blew her dress and the mist in the mountains made her look like a fairy who had come down to earth and could not be desecrated.

Han Yi watched so much that he held his breath.

If there weren't three huge characters "Fang Xianyu" above her head, Han Yi would really have thought he had seen a god!

"Are you the disciple who was sent to this world to study with me?"

Fang Xianyu asked with a smile.

It was clearly a smile, but it made Han Yi feel a kind of majesty that could not be described in words, which made people feel awe.

"Ah! I, uh, that..."

Han Yi's tongue was almost tied up, and it took him several seconds to regain his ability to speak: "That's right, that's right, I'm an international student from another world!"

"I see. So, what's your name?"

"Han Tiaotiao..."

Han Yi read out the ID shamefully, deeply regretting using such a name.

"So you are monk Han Tiaotiao. Since you have joined the Taiyin Sect, I will give you this set of 'Heavenly Origin Qi Attraction Technique'. I hope you will practice diligently, build your foundation as soon as possible, and contribute to the Taiyin Sect!"

As soon as Fang Xianyu finished speaking, a message box suddenly appeared in front of Han Yi, with two lines of words flashing inside:

[Complete the task [Meet the Master], get 200Exp, "Heavenly Qi Attraction Technique", [Identification], [School], [Practice] functions are now open]

After closing the message box, the taskbar started flashing again.

[Where to Stay]: [I have met the headmaster, but I still have no idea where to stay. Let's ask the headmaster! (Reward: 50Exp, [Fragment of the Spell Book (Gray)])]

Familiar game panels appeared one after another, and Han Yi finally felt like he was playing a game. This time, he repeated to himself "This is an NPC" several times, and finally spoke fluently: "Master, what should we do with this place to stay?"

As an innocent boy who has been playing games in the game room for many years, Han Yi is quite familiar with virtual reality games. This kind of task that cannot be submitted directly on the game panel simply requires talking to NPCs and triggering keywords.

And "a place to stay" is obviously the key word of this task.

"Go find your senior sister. She will tell you what will happen next."

After saying this, the NPC disappeared, and then, on the small map in the upper right corner, a small golden dot flashed again not far away from him.

After walking a few steps, Han Yi found the NPC senior sister [Baili Shuang] near a pile of miscellaneous items marked as [Taiyin Sect Temporary Camp] on the map.

This NPC, who did not appear in the CG trailer, wore a turquoise dress similar to that of the leader Fang Xianyu, and looked elegant and gentle.

After hearing what Han Yi said, Baili Shuang nodded and said, "I understand, Junior Brother Han Tiaotiao, our sect has just decided to settle here, and we haven't prepared anything yet, so I'll have to trouble you to help me build the sect buildings. Right now, materials such as [wood], [stone], and [river mud] are in short supply. If you are willing, why not help me collect some supplies."

[Complete the mission [Shelter], get 50Exp, [Fragment of Spell Secret Book (Gray)]]

After casually agreeing to the task, Han Yi began to study several newly opened functions.

The [Identification] function is very common in major games. By using the identification technique on an item, you can obtain certain information. In "Records of Ten Continents", its function is no exception.

[School] is a new column in the game panel, which contains some basic information of the school he belongs to, [Taiyin School]. At the same time, a gray book page-like item appeared in the backpack: [Spell Secret Book Fragment (Gray)].

After taking out the fragment of the spell book from the backpack, Han Yi found that it could be identified, so he quickly identified it and obtained the first skill [Godspeed].

[Speed ​​(LV1)]: Increases speed for a short period of time, allowing you to run as fast as the wind.

Han Yi looked at this skill speechlessly. Was this meant to make him move bricks faster?!

Sure enough, when he turned to the task bar, he found that this task was a perfect match for his new skills - he could move twice what others moved once, right?

[Build a sect]: [Select handy tools, collect resources, and submit [wood], [stone], [river mud] and other materials to Baili Shuang. (Repeatable) (Reward: ?Exp, ?Copper coins) (Task reward description: Experience points and copper coins vary with the quantity and quality of submitted materials)]

Okay, okay, it’s just moving bricks!

Han Yi rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the tool camp marked on the map.

…

However, there are always players whose curiosity kills the cat and who are unwilling to just do the hard work.

As a well-known game anchor, Wang Ergou did not collect resources after unlocking the new skill [Carrying] which is more suitable for moving bricks. Instead, he randomly chose a direction and planned to explore the map.
