Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Beginner's Tutorial.
Afterwards, their mechas left the atmosphere and continued to shuttle and jump in the deep universe.
Finally they landed on the planet that they were so familiar with.
Chester Star.
But in the game, it is called Casoniel.
This planet was built based on the architecture of Chester.
The mecha slowly approached the space dock.
Through the transparent corridor for tourists to visit, you can overlook the scenery of the entire planet.
Half the planet was obscured by the sky, with a brightly lit town in the center. Surrounding the town were rows of solar panels, generating enough energy to power the entire planet.
Outside the sky, the terrain is complex.
Various terrains such as valleys, rivers, swamps, snow-capped mountains, etc. are distributed in the desolate areas C, D, E, etc.
Because it was an online mode, a disclaimer popped up in front of the three people at the same time.
[This work is purely fictional. The characters and events in the game have nothing to do with reality.]
It was not until he reached this stage that Lin Biege realized that this was not the real world, but a game.
Lin Biege was shocked. "Holy crap! I've heard Huozhong has a good reputation, but I didn't expect it to be this successful. I thought food management games were the only fun things in the world."
Nan Gua was still immersed in the epic scene just now, and hadn't come out of it yet, with tears streaming down her face.
Lin Biege was puzzled: "What's the point of crying?"
Is it so tear-jerking?
Tao Ying reached out and wiped Nan Gua's cheek, and the tears in her hand turned into blue particles and disappeared into the air.
Tao Ying nodded: "I think I can understand."
The storyboard for the opening credits was designed by the president of Haitai Technology and students from the Art Department of Lai University.
The project team of "Spark" was very small. At the beginning, the team did not exceed ten people. I remember there were three programmers, five artists, and one investor and planner.
A group of young people, with dreams in their hearts, stayed up all night for two or three months, stopping and revising before they finished the first draft.
Later, as the team grew, each part was refined, and the final result was very exquisite, comparable to a high-quality movie.
Tao Ying was also very touched when she saw the finished product for the first time.
She nodded: "Space and wandering are both easy to make people cry."
Nan Gua sniffed and replied, "I'm now sure that Xiaoying is indeed a romantic."
"What about me?" Lin Biege asked back.
"A heartless stone."
“…”
The mecha entered the docking bay.
There were dozens of mechas of all sizes parked here. They originally thought they were all new players like them and wanted to go up and say hello, but when they got closer they found that they were all NPCs.
"After all, the server has been open for more than ten years. It has entered the end of its life cycle and there are no new players."
Tao Ying spread his hands.
A technician was anxiously biting his flaxen braid. When he saw the newcomers coming in, he threw the braid behind him and came to greet them.
"Where did these new recruits come from? Forget it, come down first. I want to check your mechas and physical condition."
After saying that, he pushed the three of them into a specific space.
The technician handed over a list.
"My name is Xu Ruocheng. You will be dealing with me often in the future, so remember this name."
"Well, I won't say any polite words. I'm busy. Fill out your names and personal information on the list. Call me when you're done."
Handing over the tablet, Xu Ruocheng turned and left. Swinging her flaxen braid, she ran to the data table and began looking back and forth at the same page of data.
Obviously, the NPC has entered automatic mode, and the next plot will be triggered only after they enter their names.
A blue game pop-up window appeared in front of Tao Ying.
[Hello, new pilot, this is the Mecha Recruit Reception Desk in Area D of Casoniel. Please enter your name.]
[Tip: 1. Nicknames can be changed later using in-game items.]
【2. Click the dice to randomly generate a name.】
[3. Cherish your game account and do not use illegal words in your nickname to avoid being blocked by the system.]
Tao Ying didn't hesitate much and filled in "S" as her nickname. This was her usual ID and it was very popular.
[The name is repeated. Please re-enter. We recommend you use S_24525356, S_23535646, etc.]
There are quite a lot of S in the game.
Tao Ying thought about it, added a string of symbols at the end, and clicked confirm.
The displayed name is still "S".
Lin Biege came over and said, "Huh? How did you do that? The letter S alone is a rare single-digit ID. It's been open for so long, it must have been taken by someone else."
"The following string of code is automatically hidden."
"Oh - then is mine okay?" Lin Biege turned around and revealed "Leila, my wife" on her list.
Tao Ying blinked slowly: "Who is Leila?"
"Oh, there's a white cat orc in the cartoon I watched, and she's a beauty! Do you want to see it? I can lend it to you with my platform membership?"
"No, I'm not a fan of Furui. And your ID has five characters, so the byte limit is exceeded, so the hidden code cannot be used."
"What? Is this true?" Lin Biege copied it in disbelief, but it didn't work.
Lin Biege could only try a few more times, but they were all repeated.
In the end, she just lost a Linbig and passed in seconds.
Lin Biege: "..." She can't stand the name Big, right?
Nan Gua originally wanted to choose a very literary and symbolic ID, but after hesitating for a long time, he just entered "Pumpkin" and submitted it for confirmation.
[Please fill in your physical condition level and select some special genetic diseases according to your needs.]
[Special physical conditions include: limb deficiency, blood phobia, space radiation syndrome...]
After filling in the game nickname, the next thing is the most important physique.
Tao Ying pulled down the physical fitness level, C, D, E...the lowest option was E.
Without even thinking, she chose the lowest one.
The teammates followed suit and chose a slightly lower physique to simulate their real physique.
"Choose a lower weight first, and think of it as adding weight to your training. Then, when you remove the weight, driving the mecha in real life will be a level easier."
After the physical selection was completed, Xu Ruocheng received the instructions, walked over, checked the list, and stamped it.
She picked up the list. "Okay, S, Linbig, Pumpkin, the information entry is complete."
After saying that, three ID cards were printed out from a machine on the side and handed to them.
Just at this moment, the alarm suddenly sounded.
The work badge fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and several people's nerves became tense instantly.
In the corridor where they were, the alarms flashed red lights one after another like warning beacons.
The docking bay began to vibrate violently.
"What's going on?!"
Xu Ruocheng dropped the work in his hands and ran out of the room in panic.
Outside the transparent high-strength glass of the space dock used for sightseeing, several spider-shaped Zerg were slowly flying towards this side.
Their movements seem to be disorderly, yet there is a strange sense of regularity that is difficult to summarize.
Due to the geographical location of Chester Star, several major countries around it formed a line of defense against the Zerg, so the emergency plan for the Zerg siege was not sufficient.
The space dock's system did not respond for a long time, but just kept repeating the warning.
An E-rank blind spider slammed down on top of Tao Ying's head. Sticky yellow acid splattered, coating the glass in front of them.
Eight limbs were crawling on it constantly, and its skin was sparsely covered with black hair about one centimeter long, with a growth density of one centimeter and the pores opening and closing.
Its mouthparts continuously spurted out acidic liquid, and its teeth scraped against the glass, making a sound like nails scratching.
It makes one's scalp tingle.
"E-level blind spider attack! Evacuate, guide tourists to evacuate!"
"Correction, correction! A large number of E-level blind spiders! Estimated number: 50! The number is still rising, 60, 70, 100... The number is still rising!! Level 1 warning, level 1 warning! Requesting emergency support!"
The tourists around him looked up blankly.
"Bang!"
“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”
It was the sound of glass hitting again and again.
Because of the gravitational field of the space dock, the E-level blind spiders were densely packed and kept falling like raindrops and hail.
On one side of the corridor, the glass was cracked.
The tourists finally reacted, screamed and started running away.
A group of people ran frantically through the corridor, like a besieged city. But the Zerg, stimulated by the sound, began to dance even more frantically above their heads.
The glass shattered!
An E-level blind spider fell right in front of Tao Ying.
Tao Ying took a step back.
Xu Ruoqing immediately put the frightened "recruits" behind him, quickly drew his gun, and fired a shot at the blind spider's abdomen.
Its abdomen exploded instantly, and yellow acid flowed out and splashed onto Xu Ruocheng's arm. She let out a cry of endurance in pain.
"Headquarters, please answer! Headquarters, please answer! There is currently no first-class pilot in the docking bay!"
Xu Ruocheng frantically called for help, but there was no response. She looked down and saw that the intercom had been corroded by acid.
"His ancestors!"
Xu Ruocheng threw the walkie-talkie away angrily.
"The Marshal has gone to the Second Star System now. Damn it, these Zerg, did they deliberately lure the Marshal there?"
Another staff member ran over: "We still have five minutes until support from Area D arrives! Hold on a little longer!"
"There's no time to wait five minutes! They'll all be wiped out!"
Xu Ruocheng gritted his teeth and turned to look at the only few recruits here.
"Let's try our best. Follow me!"
They came to a secret warehouse, which was filled with hundreds of mechas.
The game window popped up, probably to create a tense atmosphere. The window was jumping and there was a 60-second countdown on it.
[Please select your mecha according to the category, or you can directly enter the model to search. ]
Lin Biege randomly picked a mecha that looked powerful, and Xu Ruocheng came over and slapped her hard on the back.
"Private Third Class is using a God Slayer on his first day. Do you understand what you're doing?! Quickly select! The Zerg are coming in!"
As if to fit in with the plot, the door of the warehouse was hit by an E-level blind spider, followed by a "sizzling" and "sizzling" corrosion sound.
The countdown reached thirty seconds.
Tao Ying friendly reminder: "The advanced mecha option is currently locked. We are too low level and it's still the first round, so we can't choose it."
But even so, there are more than a hundred ordinary mecha models to choose from.
Lin Biege was dazzled by the variety of mecha models and had no idea how to choose. In the end, he could only ask Tao Ying for help.
"So which one should I choose?"
Tao Ying rubbed her chin.
Since it is training, they should choose according to the mecha they will use in the competition.
However, the mecha models to be purchased uniformly for this year's Star League qualifiers have not yet been announced.
"Let's choose VX-89 first. You're more familiar with it."
After pressing the confirm button, the three of them felt like they were falling, and then they were sitting in the virtual driver's seat.
Probably because his physique had become E, Tao Ying felt a lot more relaxed.
She had never felt such a comfortable breath since she came into this body. Every time she breathed, it felt like several huge stones were pressing on her lungs.
Press the joystick and the screen will display:
[Do you want to enter the tutorial? The tutorial involves important plot points and cannot be skipped. If you exit midway, you will need to restart the tutorial.]
Tao Ying asked her two teammates for one final confirmation: "Have you chosen everything?"
Lin Biege gestured in the air with his hands, eager to try: "Let's see who passes first!"
【Accept the story mission.】
Synopsis: As a rookie mecha reserve soldier of the new era, you are suddenly attacked by a large number of Zerg. With a large number of soldiers killed and insufficient manpower, you are forced to take to the battlefield.
[With the help of the command center, you need to successfully repel the ten Zergs attacking the base to complete the mission.]
[Current mission progress: Kill E-level Zerg 0/10.]
The three people were ejected and before they could react, they were attacked in the face by an E-level blind spider.
Eight arm-thick appendages slowly crawled across the reinforced screen in the cockpit.
Nan Gua and Lin Biege, who were on the same microphone, let out deafening screams at the same time.
Tao Ying anticipated this and lowered the volume, but was still shocked by their voices.
"Don't be afraid, it's fake."
How could it be fake? I finally understand why everyone praised "Fire" for its "strong authenticity" and "strong sense of immersion". Who wouldn't scream when the Zerg suddenly appeared in front of them?
The two teammates got goosebumps all over their bodies and swung their mechas frantically, finally throwing the blind spider off.
Lin Biege cursed: "Whose novice mission is to defeat ten E-level Zergs? Huh? Answer me? Look in my eyes!"
It’s hard enough for newcomers on the battlefield who are not even familiar with the driving buttons to deal with one Zerg, and now they have to fight ten by themselves?
You call this a beginner's tutorial?
