Chapter 1 Chapter 1 New World
Tang Li slept for a long time.
Just when she thought she would continue to sleep forever... she suddenly woke up that day and abruptly appeared in a newly launched holographic game called "Magic Continent".
Looking at the registration prompt that kept flashing in front of her, Tang Li was a little confused. How long had she slept? How could there be a holographic online game?
She remembered burying herself in the ground before falling asleep, so how could she find herself standing here when she woke up? Could it be that some bored person had dug her out and kindly sent her into the game?
Tang Li fumbled around the transparent panel in front of her and quickly found the gray [Exit Game] button. After clicking it decisively, the system popped up a red prompt that said [Not Operable].
"Not at all surprising."
Being trapped in the game, unable to exit, might have been a bit of a panic for anyone else, but Tang Li froze for a second before easily accepting the situation. There was no other way. If bad luck became a habit, breaking through defenses would be difficult. So, what was life? Tang Li accepted it well.
The reason why she has such a good mentality is a long story.
Tang Li was not born so unlucky. In fact, she could be said to be very lucky in the past.
The only daughter of a middle-class family, she grew up in a good family atmosphere and was an excellent student. Even when the end of the world came, she suffered a little in the early days, but soon she mastered the incredible ability of [Gene Mutation] and was carefully protected by the base.
The most unfortunate thing might be that the virus in the late apocalypse was too powerful, and all humans were wiped out. Tang Li also lost her life, but she was soon reborn.
Tang Li felt that there were probably not many people as lucky as her.
She had a deep impression of the day of her rebirth. She went from the devastated doomsday to a life full of hustle and bustle. Feeling the faint supernatural power in her body, and realizing that she was not dreaming, Tang Li's first reaction was to run out and take a taxi. She found the location of the original virus in her memory, and with a few supernatural powers, she weakened the virus into a harmless virus baby, decisively stopping the doomsday process.
Looking back now, everything seems so trivial, but in fact Tang Li encountered many difficulties in her actions at that time. First, her parents stopped her from going out, then she encountered a traffic jam while riding in the car, and even encountered a knife-wielding robber... In short, it seemed as if the whole world was against her.
But Tang Li was stubborn and faced the challenges head-on under pressure... Then she paid the price for her stubbornness and became an unlucky person that everyone avoided.
"Ahem, let's see what this game is all about." Tang Li's thoughts drifted away from memories and she turned her attention back to the panel in front of her.
Since she was already here and there was no way to quit, it would be nice to play some games. She had been looking forward to holographic games before, and this could be considered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Considering that she knew nothing about this game except the name, Tang Li clicked on the game introduction of "Magic Continent" before registering the character.
A game always has to boast about the uniqueness of its own technology, or the difficulties encountered during the production process, etc. "Magic Continent" is no exception to this routine. At the beginning, the official game gave very hardcore data. At the beginning, Tang Li could understand two lines, and soon she entered a state where she knew every word, but had no idea what they meant when put together. In the end, Tang Li didn't even recognize the words.
She didn't make things difficult for herself and decisively closed the science page.
Although the introduction was hardcore, it was not without gain. At least she got a crucial piece of information - some fallen civilizations and some fragments left after the Earth's ascension were incorporated into the game production process.
This also explains why she appears in the game. It is probably because after the Earth upgraded its dimension, it was displeased with her being buried in the ground and simply threw her away as garbage. According to the integration process introduced in the game... it is likely that her body has turned into powder by now, and she is so integrated with the entire game that she cannot be removed.
As I said, life is life, isn’t it?
Tang Li once again easily accepted this setting.
At the same time, she was also happy about the news that the earth was upgrading. She had long guessed that the doomsday virus was probably a test of upgrading. Unfortunately, she was defeated. No wonder she was entangled in cause and effect. It was really not unfair at all.
But she was not the kind of person who would sit and wait for death. After becoming an unlucky person, she had been struggling with the cause and effect for countless years. Later, she really came up with a solution.
Cause and effect is also a kind of energy to a certain extent. Because the things done are big enough, the energy is also extremely huge. Energy is roughly equal to energy. The fact that Tang Li was able to live for so long later is a strong proof of this.
Holding such a huge "treasure mountain", Tang Li fully demonstrated the spirit of Yugong moving mountains. Referring to the doomsday virus in the past, she used her own body as a transit station to pry open this energy bit by bit and turn it into nutrients, quietly nourishing the entire planet and nourishing herself at the same time.
I wonder if she has any contribution to the Earth's dimensional upgrading?
Tang Li had no way of knowing this, but she knew that everything in the past was completely over, which was evident from the fact that she was standing here soberly.
As for the slight aura of bad luck still lingering on his body, it was not serious. It might be because the excessive entanglement in the past had made it indistinguishable from the supernatural power and had become part of his nature.
No matter whether what she did in the past was right or wrong, everything is in the past. Tang Li turned her attention back to the game in front of her. She will have a brand new life in the future.
"Holographic online games, how cool."
Before officially entering the game, you must sign a network security agreement.
Tang Li was very familiar with this. The games she played in her previous life also used the same routine. However, Tang Li just checked the box without even looking at it. But now, with a learning attitude, she unfolded the densely packed specific clauses of the security agreement and began to read them one by one.
The first is to prevent addiction. Holographic online games have developed to the point where they are getting closer and closer to the real world. If they are not restricted, it is easy for people to confuse the difference between fantasy and reality, resulting in a series of adverse effects. Therefore, players who use holographic devices will have a clear and indispellable psychological hint, always realizing that they are in a virtual world.
This is also the reason why Tang Li knew she was in the game as soon as she opened her eyes.
The next one is the forced offline function, which has nothing to do with Tang Li, so skip it.
The next item is about pain settings and game kills, which are clauses that can easily affect mental health. They also require certain psychological hints to protect the physical and mental health of players during the game.
Then there are functions such as player behavior constraints, civilized norms, kill protection, etc. Improper operation of holographic equipment can also result in death, so the relevant security protocols are almost as thick as real-life codes, and all aspects are very rigorous.
Tang Li also discovered that this game does not allow for arbitrary face shaping, but also uses a psychological suggestion.
According to the game description, this psychological suggestion will not affect the player's gaming experience, but once the opposing player is out of sight, they will no longer be able to remember or use other means to detect the player's appearance until they meet again. This perfectly avoids players from fighting offline after being too excited, and greatly protects the players' offline safety and personal privacy, unless the players actively give up their permissions.
Tang Li speculated that this psychological suggestion might be based on the same principle as face blindness.
Of course, if you really like face-shaping, the game's krypton gold store also provides face-shaping props, priced at 1988. You cannot use game currency and can only purchase it with tokens exchanged for real money.
Tang Li was new here and didn't know much about the prices in this world, but she knew the price wouldn't be cheap, so she reasonably suspected that this was an official scam.
She wouldn't be fooled anyway (mainly because she had no money). For someone who was shattered to pieces in the real world, Tang Li expressed no fear of showing her face.
Click to check the security protocol, and then you will enter the character creation stage.
[Magic Continent] This game is bound to the player's brain waves. The game characters are unique. If you want to change the character, you can only delete the current character, so players need to be extra cautious when choosing a career.
System: [Do you want to create a character?]
"Yes." Tang Li clicked to confirm, and a row of images of various races with her face appeared in front of her.
System: [Character creation complete, please select your race.]
"Let's choose a witch." Humans, elves, orcs, dwarves, undead... Among a row of dazzling races, Tang Li chose the witch riding a flying broom.
No need to walk, that's nice.
System: [Witch race confirmed. Please select your profession.]
The other races disappeared, and the remaining witch characters transformed into bloody, prophetic, moon, elemental, healing... various professions were arranged in order.
After the end of the world, Tang Li fantasized countless times about opening an ordinary small shop and living the simple, happy and ordinary life that could be seen everywhere before the end of the world.
Now that she has finally gotten away from all the past troubles, Tang Li decided to follow her heart and chose the forest witch who has bonuses in planting and refining medicine.
This character can be self-sufficient, so opening a small shop should be a great advantage.
System: [Forest Witch class confirmed. Based on your selection, you have been automatically matched with a neutral and lawful faction. Please select your birthplace.]
The person in front of him disappeared, and was replaced by a huge map of power distribution. Tang Li needed to choose her initial birthplace from the neutral and lawful forces that were lit on the map.
[Magic Continent] is divided into three camps: Good Lawful, Neutral Lawful, and Evil Lawful.
Among them, the good and lawful races are mainly humans, elves and other races, and generally have their own beliefs and temples.
The neutral camp is composed more of witches, orcs and other races with no faith or weak faith. This camp believes more in magic and their own strength.
Special beings such as the undead and death wizards are classified as evil and lawful because of the source of their power.
Of course, the camps are not absolute. There are people like humans who are good at jumping back and forth between the three camps. Even among the elves who are famous for their love of peace, there are dark elves who believe in darkness. Therefore, the specific camp division is mainly based on countries or forces.
In addition to their different camps, the creatures of the magical continent also have a common enemy - the monsters of the abyss.
The abyss monsters are an invading race in the magical continent and possess great destructive power. It can be said that the history of the entire magical continent is the history of battles between various races and abyss monsters.
[Magic Continent] opens with various races finally driving the abyss monsters back to their lair after a long struggle. Without the interference of external enemies, the entire Magic Continent officially enters the era of large-scale land reclamation and launches a vigorous exploration of this vast land.
Players will join various exploration forces as adventurers, helping the lords of the forces to eliminate the remaining monsters stranded on the ground, expand the territory, and establish a country.
After the establishment of the country, players with outstanding performance will be awarded titles and territories based on their contributions, which is equivalent to the city-building order gameplay in other games.
Considering that conflicts are inevitable when a country expands to a certain extent in the later stages, in order to prevent being annexed by other countries, it is necessary to choose a powerful force in the early stages of the game.
Tang Li studied for a long time and finally chose a territory called Oran in the Tidal Sea as her birthplace.
