Chapter 63: Running Map Opening Anchor Point [VIP]
The player spent some time in Luofu and adjusted his mood.
Life in Luofu was generally peaceful and stable, and the current wave of risks was unlikely to directly endanger civilians. For a resident who had already achieved wealth and freedom, the tranquility of Luofu was inevitably boring.
The player abandoned Qingque, who asked her to fight Diyuan Qiongyu, and resolutely threw herself into the arms of the game.
Please, although Diyuan Qiongyu is fun, she can't play it every day like doing daily tasks!
Qingque truly loves Diyuan Qiongyu, but she doesn't!
She thinks her life needs some changes.
…
The player logged into the game.
The player decided to choose a different free-to-play experience this time, but still randomly selected literary works.
After all, the unknown is the most interesting.
Because the full board was too boring, the player created a new initial body for the sake of game experience, and replaced it with his favorite white hair and red eyes.
The player named himself "Sexy Star Crusher King Bug," but the system rejected his name as pornographic and vulgar.
The player thought hard and changed his name to [Rupert III], but was warned by the system because of suspected imperial worship.
The players have learned from their mistakes and this time they must choose a name that can pass the review!
How about [The Emperor's bow only dazzles his wheelchair with arrows of light]?
...The word limit has been exceeded, and the system has warned again, please choose a decent name.
The player fell into deep thought.
The player starts snapping his fingers.
Players are reminded by the system to choose a name.
…The player was inexplicably distracted.
The player frantically flipped through the dictionary and named himself "Lin Chen".
The moment the name was approved, both the players and the system breathed a sigh of relief.
"We've passed the most difficult level!" The player cheerfully wiped the cold sweat left by his poor naming.
The player starts the next item.
It’s the identity background setting!
The players were somewhat uninterested.
Readers, as you know, our Xianzhou civilization is an extremely developed civilization.
So, when the player was eleven years old and came into contact with the two-dimensional world, writing, painting, handwriting, AI, physical models, game characters, etc., the player relied on these to give her OC or favorite characters a complete... several lives.
So players have written countless background settings in holographic games, and the development of OCs from small to large has reached an extremely terrifying level. Players are already a little tired of this part.
And is there really a need for such a setting? Will players live according to the setting?
It's impossible. Just like if a game instructs an NPC to talk to a doll, would you actually do it? Wouldn't you want to try fighting it and see what happens?
The player found that there was no required * symbol next to the identity setting, so the player fell into thinking.
What happens if you don't have an identity in the game world? Will you be hunted by NPCs? Or will the game automatically provide you with an identity?
So the player cheerfully skipped the identity setting.
Okay, let me experiment what happens if I land in the game without an identity!
Before entering the game world, players strongly demand to be their own in-game system AI.
The game customer service agreed directly, which means you are the one who makes the decisions regarding your game.
The player closed his eyes contentedly.
An invisible hand supported her, blending her into the starlight.
Welcome to The Simulator: Multidimensional Life. The free-to-play experience is ready. We wish you all the best in your new journey.
Lin Chen landed on the rooftop of a high-rise building. The night wind was blowing, neon lights were flashing in the distance, and the bustling city was in full view.
She looked down at the new body she had shaped herself, with white hair and red eyes, and wearing the initial suit given by the game.
Lin Chen tried, but couldn't take the clothes off.
Isn't this game 100+?? Why can't players be naked? It's not for nothing!
The system, which had exactly the same thinking as Lin Chen, couldn't wait to open the feedback channel and frantically wrote an 800-word essay to complain.
The customer service representative politely stated: "In order to comply with the 'Xianzhou Online Game Management Regulations,' pornographic content and other elements cannot appear in the game. I hope you can understand."
At the same time, a gift pack was given to the players.
Lin Chen opened the gift package in seconds and obtained a rare item, "Chaos Cloud Fungus".
The player quickly scanned the lengthy introduction to the item and came up with the keyword "rebuilding confidence".
I see. It's used to comfort people.
Lin Chen stuffed the rare item into the backpack.
Unlike the immersive experience, the free-style game has five save files available, allowing players to regret, commit suicide, and explore different directions at any time.
Open the system - whether it is the panel, backpack, skills, save page, etc., the game time will stop.
This is very good, it is convenient for players to lose blood
At this point, some readers may be confused and ask me that I have been a player for so many years, shouldn’t it be exactly the same as the real world?
Yes, immersive is exactly the same as the real world.
Besides, it's not a game that's the same as reality. But, if it's the same as reality, why bother playing games?
Are you asking me, a little loser in reality, who has no cheats, to use my abysmal emotional intelligence, IQ and combat awareness to defeat monsters that are designed to be incredibly strong?
Stop joking, you have to know that we are in a situation where we can be easily influenced by various fates. How can we be so strong as to play with you?
Yes, after being criticized by angry players with hundreds of thousands of reviews, this manufacturer left this field that it may not be familiar with in disgrace.
I heard that it later developed companionship and love games, and the sales were quite good.
From this we can see that the settings passed down by our ancestors must have their reasons.
For example, SL, backpack, and system time stop.
The system backpack has 2000 slots. Lin Chen picked up two stones on the rooftop and put them in.
Stones are considered the same type of items and are stacked in the same grid.
The player took them out, and hmm, they were still two different stones, nothing had changed.
Lin Chen opened the map system from the void and found out——
It's completely black! Everything is black except for the anchor point! Only the player's current location is a small white dot!
Lin Chen: “…”
It seems that this is the kind of setting that you have to run around the map to unlock it. It’s really old-fashioned and delicious!
In order to test the mechanism, Lin Chen stood at the balcony and jumped in any direction.
Well, since I just started, I don't have any flying skills, no windsurfing, and no paragliding.
She fell down with a whoosh, and before landing, Lin Chen skillfully rolled over.
Landed without injury!
Lin Chen stretched out his arms, raised his head, and stood firmly with the posture of a gymnast.
Because the pain sensation was lowered, there was not even any numbness in my feet.
Yes, players are those people who, even if their attribute points are extremely low, can still ignore gravity, inertia, air resistance, etc., break away from all physical laws, and perform actions that normal humans cannot perform.
There wasn't even a speck of dust on his clothes.
How could a player's clothes possibly get dirty? Even if a player traveled through six countries and underwent countless challenges day and night, their clothes wouldn't even get a scratch!
No matter how high you jump from, as long as you roll when you land, or pour a bucket of water under your feet. Even if you fall from a starship, as long as you move in time, you won't lose any blood.
No matter you are crawling in the mud, ruins, battlefields or sewers, or even lying directly in the garbage dump, your clothes will be clean and your shoes will not be stained by any dust.
Whether running in the wilderness for three days and three nights, or soaking in a rainstorm for ten hours, the hairstyle remains perfect and the condition remains good.
This is the player!
Lin Chen opened the map and casually traced the direction of the nearest anchor point, then -
She stepped forward and started running.
There is no stamina bar, no fatigue value, and no forced sleep, players can run until the end of time.
In this way, relying on the player's endless physical strength, Lin Chen ran all over this area called "Japan" in one breath and opened all the anchor points.
When passing pedestrians, most NPCs have indifferent expressions, some NPCs will look back at her curiously, and some will scold the player for running too fast;
When she passes by a food stall, the owner will warmly invite her to try the special dishes;
Passing by an alley, she even caught a glimpse of a few thugs surrounding an unlucky passerby and preparing to collect "protection fees".
It's really so realistic. Other holographic games are mostly multiplayer online games, which only give key NPCs such high intelligence.
Honestly, she had initially assumed the same was true for immersive games. After all, Ringo hung out with her family all day and didn't pay any attention to other NPCs. She hadn't realized the NPCs in this game were all that intelligent.
So StarCraft and Pacific Corporation are really generous, wow.
Lin Chen sighed, then ignored everything.
Because she is a *pure gamer*, the most important thing is to unlock the map!
As for the random incident on the roadside? Wait until she runs out of the whole world!
But you still have to pick up shiny things on the roadside!
Lin Chen climbed up and down, running along the eaves and walls, and walked the shortest straight distance.
At the same time, don't forget to pull away the moss on the wall, the succulents on the balcony, the students' lunch boxes, the flying zero-point test papers, the coins under the vending machine, etc.
Finally, she returned to her original city called Yokohama.
Lin Chen was lost in thought facing the endless sea.
No money, no vehicles, no teleportation skills.
She glanced at the ship parked nearby and fell into a fierce ideological struggle.
Should I rob a ship and run away? While buying the game automatically makes everything in it my own, will I be wanted by NPCs? While a bounty wouldn't matter, I haven't finished opening anchor points yet and don't want to do any quests just yet.
I don't want to waste time fighting with NPCs.
After all, this is not an old-fashioned RPG game where hatred will disappear after walking a certain distance. The intelligent AI will really hold a grudge and hunt down players forever!
There is no way to escape unless their health bars are depleted.
Lin Chen thought so after he was chased by the black-clad NPCs for a whole day and night because he took the black box from the NPC and obtained countless guns, ammunition and five vehicles.
Lin Chen, who gave up the idea of robbery, jumped into the sea.
Bai Gubai put his body into a swimming posture and began to swim at an even and high speed.
Lin Chen swam for a while and found that there were anchor points in the sea!
She resolutely dived in, even without any oxygen! Great! No need to worry about drowning!
A bonito swam leisurely past her.
Lin Chen grabbed it with quick eyes and hands and put it into his backpack in an instant!
[Found: Skipjack tuna.]
[Bonito has been included in the biological encyclopedia.]
The game features illustrations of creatures, hostile species, recipes, special collections, oddities, events, equations, blessings, beautiful scenery, and more.
Yay! It's ingredients! Grab some and cook!
The player couldn't help but forget his original destination and became obsessed with catching fish, turtles, jellyfish, crabs, squids...
Taking into account the ecological environment of the nearby sea area, Lin Chenqian caught 100 creatures of various kinds and put them in his backpack before he went to open the anchor with satisfaction.
Next, while tracking the anchor point, Lin Chen was attracted by the [hundred-year-old sunken ship], [mysterious underwater ruins], [underwater runes suspected to be of a lost civilization] and other sights on the roadside.
By the time Lin Chen reacted, her backpack was already filled with all kinds of strange things——
[Broken Ancient Stone Tablet] x 5 (Only half is left, I don't know if it can be put back together)
[Weathered Gold Statue] x3 (Why are there still statues of gods I don't recognize? I should be able to make a profit if I sell them, right?)
[Rusty Ancient Sword] × 2 (Looks very old, but is broken)
[Suspected Magic Circle Fragment] x10 (She doesn't recognize this at all, so she'll just keep it for now)
[Undersea Mysterious Runes] x 13 (She was too lazy to count while collecting)
[Long Silent Box] x 9 (It's filled with gold, silver, and jewelry!)
[Ancient porcelain plates] × 8 (cracked but still usable)
[Solid-looking wooden board] x 20 (She didn't know why she took this)
【Ordinary sea sand】×99 (I packed a whole set without realizing it)
Even the few anemones floating in front of her were not spared and were plucked away and stuffed into her backpack.
"It's not in vain, it's not in vain."
Lin Chen patted his backpack with satisfaction and swam towards a nearby anchor point.
The player relied on his own tenacity to swim across the Pacific Ocean! He completely deviated from the path he had originally set!
Lin Chen diligently opened every seafloor anchor point on the planet! When his hunger level dropped to rock bottom, he'd simply use a wooden plank to set up a pot in the ocean and eat whatever he caught.
Yes, the player’s pot is so magical. No matter whether it is in the sea or in space, as long as it is selected on the building page, there will be fire!
Lin Chen turned all the ingredients in his backpack into dishes that could restore health, mana, and add buffs.
Even without a recipe, players can still explore the entire encyclopedia bit by bit through their own efforts! Even without a recipe, players don't know whether they need monster fat or a giant toe to make a dish.
Along the way, we encountered a giant octopus floating in the sea... or was it a giant squid? Or was it a lump of flesh made of tentacles? Wow, it even had two little wings! Regardless, it was a tentacle monster.
When Lin Chen opened the anchor point, it slowly floated up and down in front of the player.
The name above his head is very long, something by Hoft.
Lin Chen didn’t remember it, but she saw the criteria for taming this creature in front of its name!
All creatures in the world are divided into two types by players: tamable and subdued.
To subdue someone means to make him a subordinate, which generally requires a high IQ, and is common among primates.
Taming is applicable to all creatures, and if tamed successfully, it will become the player's pet.
And now, a tentacle monster has a capture sign on its head! What does this mean? Does it mean this tentacle monster is intelligent? Could it be a youkai? A human experiment? Or someone with the ability to shapeshift?
No matter what, the player went up with the tuna he picked up from the sea!
Lin Chen relied on his precise positioning, broke the weak point beautifully, stopped to eat food to recover health during the frenzy, and wore down the giant octopus for an unknown amount of time. In short, he wore it down to only a little blood left.
Then Lin Chen thought for a while whether to subdue or tame it, and then he clicked on the tame button from the bottom of his heart.
The tentacle monster that appears here must exist as the player's mount, even though the player has already opened all the anchor points in the sea.
But it doesn't matter! From now on, players can move around in the sea by riding octopuses!
The tentacle monster's resistance was almost non-existent. Perhaps because he was too lazy, Lin Chen didn't even press a few buttons before the system popped up a prompt: "Howard Phillips Lovecraft has been successfully tamed!"
Yay! I'm an Etheric Master!
Lin Chen struck the standard pose of successful taming.
The loyalty of a creature that becomes a player's pet is immediately maximized, and the player can see all its detailed information and rename it.
Lin Chen excitedly opened the pet management interface, looked at the person in another form next to the pile of meat, and fell into deep thought.
Ah, so it really is a special ability or something? Is the main body human, or is the tentacle monster the main body? Is its understanding of me human or non-human?
Lin Chen gave up such philosophical thinking and decided to change its name.
—“Howard Philip Lovecraft” is too long a name.
Otherwise... just call him Xiao Huo?
But then she thought again, this was her first large marine pet, so she had to give it a more impressive name to justify such a fierce battle.
She pondered, she scratched her head, she cleared her mind -
Okay, from now on you will be called Squidward.
Lin Chen patted the tentacle monster that lowered all its tentacles towards her and behaved with utmost respect.
She nimbly climbed along the tentacles to the top of the tentacle monster's head and instructed it to swim towards the land ahead.
