Even stranger was the fact that they read the instructions for the new game, "Huaxia Dynasty," and yet seemed to have missed them. Or, to be more precise, they seemed to have trouble understanding the game's instructions. The instructions roughly read:
——This is a civilized world for you to explore on your own. You can be a civilian, a leader, or a researcher, but no matter who you are, you are still the creator of this world.
——This is an infrastructure game that does not provide real-world star coin exchange transactions. The Chinese Dynasty will be built by you, and by you all.
[Infrastructure game? What kind of game is this? Are there any infrastructure games among the new game types that have been released recently?]
[No, I've been quite into new games lately, but I've never heard of any infrastructure games. Instead, it seems like holographic online games and survival-style gun games are more popular... But, could this be one of those fake guys playing tricks? There was one before who looked exactly like Tang Mu, and the imitation was even more convincing than this one!]
[Oh right, what the above person said is right. That last imitation was really convincing. If it weren't for Master Luo jumping in and saying that Tangmu hasn't released any new games recently, we would have been completely fooled. But, is there a trial period for this game? If so, why don't the streamers go and try it out to see how this trickery works?]
In fact, fans don’t need to tell them, Niu Ren and Xing Kong also have the same idea. Although it was not posted on the game page in advance, when Niu Ren and Xing Kong tried to download the game, they found that the game did not deduct star coins, but a pop-up window popped up to remind them that there was a three-day trial period. After three days, the game will officially start charging. This is similar to most games.
"Then let's give it a try, shall we? Awesome guy, are you up for it?"
"Come on, after what you've done, I'm no longer sleepy. I might as well go play with you for a while. Lao Xing, wait a moment. I'll go create an account first..."
The expert thought so and said so, and quickly created a new account and entered the game with Xingkong. But what was surprising was that, unlike what he had imagined, the production graphics of the game "Huaxia Dynasty" were simple, but not as rough as he had imagined. On the contrary, the game graphics looked quite realistic.
At least as soon as they entered the game, Niu Ren and Xing Kong were choked by the sandstorm and couldn't even open their eyes. But there was nothing around them, only a gray desert without a single green plant. There was not even a novice guide. The entire guide only had one sentence:
'Please survive and find a civilized town.'
"Isn't this a survival game? Besides the fact that there are almost no resources to survive, the gameplay seems a bit similar, doesn't it?"
We've all played a lot of survival games, and most of the newer games now have some sort of survival component, like starting out by scavenging for resources and supplies, then accumulating points to redeem equipment. So, doesn't "Huaxia Dynasty" seem like just such a survival game? Is it just a bit more difficult than other survival games?
Also, is this a game designed by an imposter? Such a realistic sandstorm looks like the work of a senior designer.
But this thought did not stay in everyone's mind for long. Soon, everyone's attention was attracted by the starry sky and the great man in front of them.
Xingkong and Niuren are indeed veterans of the game. Looking at the terrifyingly huge sandstorm in front of them, they did not act hastily. Instead, they decided to conserve their strength and wait until the sandstorm stopped and they could see again. Otherwise, they would probably die due to exhaustion and lack of resources.
Moreover, from the perspective of the game designer, this sandstorm should be intermittent. It is impossible for it to blow all the time. There will always be a moment when it stops.
Sure enough, not long after, the sandstorm finally stopped.
At that moment, Xingkong and Niuren no longer hesitated and hurriedly observed the scene in front of them, looking for places where routes and supplies might exist. Of course, it would be even better if they could find the "civilized town" mentioned in the novice guide, but unfortunately, there was nothing in front of them, only a desert.
This really made the expert a little worried. He didn't know how to continue playing, and subconsciously complained:
"What's going on with this game? Isn't it a survival game? Why aren't there any supplies? Or is this just a fake game with a desert and nothing in it?"
"No rush, let's look for it first and walk a little further. It's impossible that we won't find anything, right?"
Compared to the impatience of the talented guy, Xingkong is much more patient. He always feels that this game will not end like this. If it is really a fake game, there is no need to spend time and effort to create such a realistic sandstorm, right?
Seeing this, Niu Ren had no choice but to nod his head and followed Xingkong and the other two to explore forward. They didn't know how long they had been walking. During this period, they experienced two huge sandstorms and almost lost all their blood. But hard work pays off. After hiking for more than half an hour, they finally found a "traveler's skeleton" and a small puddle that could provide water.
As soon as they saw the water source, the two thirsty people lay down beside the puddle without saying a word, and drank it for a while. They felt that their bodies were not so thirsty and their physical strength was gradually restored. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief. It was only at this time that they paid attention to the "traveler skeleton" next to them.
Of course, Xingkong and Niu Ren didn't care about the identity of this traveler. What they cared about was the backpack next to the skeleton. They wanted to know if there were any useful supplies in the backpack.
Fortunately, although there are not many things in the backpack, they are still useful. In addition to the water bag that can hold water, there are also two compressed foods that can allow their physical strength to last for a while. In addition, there are some miscellaneous things in the backpack.
At this point, the identity of the traveler was about to be revealed.
This is an explorer, or to be more precise, more like a researcher. In his backpack, there are not only a navigator, a telescope, etc.
The most important thing is that there is a map marking an "unknown town" and something that looks like a key. The material is also very strange, like copper but not copper, like iron but not iron. There is also a particularly complicated character engraved on the key. Xingkong took a long time to identify it before he realized that it was the character "Qin".
As for this key, the game system's prompt is: "This is a bronze key that can open something."
"It looks like the 'civilized town' we're looking for is the 'unknown town' on this map... Expert, can you use your telescope to determine the approximate location of this 'unknown town'?"
"I'll look for it again. Wait... I found it. It's in the direction ahead! Hurry up, if we hurry, we should be able to get there before dark!"
Seeing that the game was finally making some progress, Niu Ren became more energetic and even his voice became more excited. At that moment, Niu Ren and Xingkong no longer hesitated and rushed to the "unknown town" at the fastest speed!
However, when the two of them arrived, they were suddenly stunned.
It was then that they suddenly realized that the map didn't show a small town, but a vast city! Looking up, they saw an incredibly tall, impressive, man-made wall. It also looked quite primitive and mysterious, its surface mottled with traces of dust and sand.
What is even more surprising is that if they guessed correctly, this city wall was not built by modern engineering machinery, but was built purely by hand. It is not difficult for them to see the traces of pure human labor.
Such a discovery even surprised the fans in the live broadcast room. They couldn't help but discuss it in the room. They also found that the design of the city wall looked and felt a bit similar to the ancient building design in "Xianxia Qiyuan", such as the structure and appearance design.
But it seems different when you look closely, because the design of the city wall in front of you looks much simpler than the exquisite ancient buildings in "Xianxia Qiyuan". But it should not be a simplified model, but the city wall is designed like this for more practicality, such as defending against enemies.
[Huh? Somehow, when I look at it, I feel like this city wall is the predecessor of the ancient buildings in "Xianxia Qiyuan"? Rather than just a replica of the original? After all, from a practical point of view, this city wall's design is much more reasonable.]
[Huh? I didn't think so originally, but now that you mention it, it does seem a bit like that...]
However, before the fans in the live broadcast room could discuss anything more, at this moment, the screen in front of them changed, and a voice prompt from the game system came out. The voice prompt said:
"Welcome to the Huaxia Dynasty. You possess the key to the Qin Dynasty. Are you sure you want to go to the Qin Dynasty?"
It seems that this is the official beginning of the game "Huaxia Dynasty". Xingkong and Niuren looked at each other subconsciously while thinking about it. Soon, they both clicked "Confirm" at the same time without any hesitation to confirm their trip to the world of "Qin".
The next moment, they both felt a flash before their eyes, and the game screen suddenly changed. The deserted city in front of them seemed to come alive in an instant!
