Chapter 229: "Cultivation Fantasy" Second Test

"Hello, hello?"

"I can hear you, stop howling..."

After putting on the headphones and connecting to the voice channel, Guo Mo asked Pan Yang on the other end: "Have you started the live broadcast?"

"It's open. What about you?"

"I haven't opened it yet. Let me change the title of the anchor room first..."

Guo Mo and Pan Yang are old friends. They first met through the game "Star Emperor" and later live-streamed "Divine Grace Continent" together, and their friendship became close.

The second test of "Xiu Zhen Fantasy" invited many anchors to participate. Since they knew each other very well, they simply teamed up and connected the microphone.

After changing the title of the live broadcast room to [Second Test of "Cultivation Fantasy" Cultivating Immortality with Lao Pan], Guo Mo also started the live broadcast.

The two of them had already downloaded the client of "Cultivation Fantasy".

Just log in to your Tianba account and enter the test activation code to enter the game and be the first to experience this fairy-tale MMO game.

It is worth mentioning.

During the second beta test phase of the game, there is only one "test-only" server available, and only five sects are open at the same time.

"What are you going to play?"

"I choose the Spiritual Pill Sect and play alchemy. What about you?"

"Then I'll play the formation master..."

Pan Yang chose the Alchemist. Guo Mo thought about it and felt that it would be better for him to play the Formation Master so that they could assist each other.

When playing this kind of MMO game with good friends, the most taboo thing is that everyone chooses the same profession, which will lead to waste of resources and overlap of professions.

If you can choose different professions, you must choose different ones. Otherwise, if everyone chooses the same profession, wouldn’t it be difficult to complete the dungeon?

"Fortunately, this game doesn't have priest or nanny professions, otherwise I would have to play a priest!" Guo Mo joked.

The sects in "Cultivation Fantasy" are not the traditional triangle of warrior, priest and mage. The role of the priest is evenly distributed among each sect.

Therefore, you can play any sect, every sect has a certain priest function, and everyone is a priest.

【Martin Variety】

After giving himself a nickname, Guo Mo went to the face-shaping page and sculpted a foxy female character before entering the game.

The barrage kept calling him a pervert, questioning why he didn't create a male character.

In response to this, Guo Mo couldn't help but complain: "No, when playing a single-player game, I pursue a sense of immersion, so it's fine to create an adult male character, but when playing this kind of MMO game, you still let me face a man's butt all day long?"

Stop kidding! In MMO games, since the characters are basically facing the player with their buttocks, it doesn’t matter if the face is good-looking, but the back view must be attractive.

Guo Mo was well aware of this, so he decisively created an adult female character, focusing on making her pleasing to the eye.

He really couldn't stand playing this kind of MMO game and staring at a male character's butt all day long.

“That’s right!”

Pan Yang supported Guo Mo and said that he also sculpted an adult woman, who not only had a perky butt, but also had very long legs. Just looking at the background was very pleasing to the eye.

It is worth mentioning that in the game "Xiuzhen Fantasy", players can not only create human faces, but also many non-human races.

For example, Guo Mo's character is a fox girl with a long tail and furry ears...

"The Novice Village is so small?"

After entering the game, what comes into view is the game’s novice village, which is also the place where every player is born.

This is a barren mountain with extremely lush trees. At the end of a winding path, stands a Taoist temple full of ancient charm.

An old man with white hair and beard stood in front of the Taoist temple, with a flashing red exclamation mark above his head, which meant that the old man had tasks to assign to the players.

Guo Mo and Pan Yang followed the footsteps of other players and came to the old Taoist priest to accept the main task: Go down the mountain! The old Taoist priest told the players that you are an orphan rescued by him, your family has been wiped out, and now you are old enough and have excellent physical fitness, so you don’t have to stay in the mountains with him, an old man.

"It's a novice mission!"

Guo Mo and Pan Yang received the main task of searching for the Immortal Gate, and then they sighed: "Is it not another errand?"

In this type of MMO game, the tasks are all about running errands and fighting monsters, which is extremely annoying.

Guo Mo and Pan Yang are both veteran players, so they are naturally familiar with the ins and outs of the game. So after they received the mission, they both thought that it would be a series of running around and killing monsters.

But the result was unexpected.

After leaving the barren mountain and entering a map called Wulin Town, the main quest did not require players to run around and fight monsters, but instead gave an instruction to "stay where you are."

Players can move around in Wulin Town without clear mission instructions, and the only requirement is not to leave Wulin Town.

After the disciples of the seven major immortal sects arrive in Wulin Town and begin testing their spiritual roots, players can then head to the sect of their choice.

During this period, the main quest did not require players to get to know any blacksmiths, tailors, or village chiefs, nor did it require players to kill wild wolves, wild boars, etc.

"It's quite convenient..."

Guo Mo joked: "This is the first time I play an MMO game that doesn't require running around. I actually feel a little uncomfortable with it."

"Me too."

Pan Yang strongly agreed.

It's so rare to play an MMO without running around! The two people who experienced this kind of novice task for the first time had great expectations for the subsequent tasks of "Xiu Zhen Fantasy".

The early stage of saving trouble is not to paralyze everyone, right? Maybe the map-running and errand-running tasks will appear later?

"You really don't have to run errands?"

After entering their respective sects, the first stage of the main task is considered completed. The second stage can be summed up in one sentence: improve your cultivation to the early stage of Qi training and be promoted to a formal disciple!

What a concise mission statement.

Guo Mo was at a loss as to what to do. It was his first time experiencing such a simple novice task and he was a little overwhelmed.

When a player first enters a sect, he is a menial disciple. If he wants to be promoted to a formal disciple, he needs to transform from a mortal into a cultivator and improve his cultivation to the Qi training stage.

Once you start practicing Qi, you will become an extraordinary person!

Players only received the main quest, which allowed them to break through to the early stage of Qi training, but how to break through, how to practice and improve their strength, all needed to be explored by themselves.

The barrage was also giving Guo Mo some advice.

"Go to the Mission Hall to take on menial tasks. The spiritual stones you receive as rewards will speed up your training and improve your cultivation."

"It's impossible for me to run errands. I will never run errands in this life. I will practice in seclusion until I reach the Qi training stage..."

"Let's go for a walk in the wild. What if we encounter a dying beast that flies into the sky?"

"It's so funny! This isn't an online game novel, how can there be so many adventures for you to encounter?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

All ideas suggested by the barrage are feasible.

Finally, Guo Mo thought about it and decided to go to the Mission Hall to receive the exclusive mission for menial disciples and get some spirit stones as a reward.

In addition to being used as currency to purchase things, spirit stones can also be used to assist in cultivation and improve the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy.

This is good stuff!

With enough spirit stones, even a pig can embark on the path of cultivation and become a fairy pig.

Players are definitely stronger than pigs, so with spirit stones to assist in cultivation, breaking through the Qi training stage should be a piece of cake.

The chores are fairly simple.

Weeding and watering spiritual plants, cleaning, carrying various sect items, etc. As a chores disciple, Guo Mo couldn't get any monster-killing missions even if he wanted to.

There is no way! The world of cultivation is very cruel. The strength of menial disciples is low, how can they be qualified to go out and slay demons? Just fetch water and water the plants honestly!

Although they are from different sects, except for the maps and buildings, the other processes are basically the same.

So Guo Mo took the task of carrying water for watering, while Pan Yang was not much better, cleaning! After completing a round of chores and receiving a spirit stone reward, the player can speed up the practice, advance to the early stage of Qi training, and participate in the formal disciple assessment.

The assessment task is very simple. The player needs to defeat a puppet in the early stage of Qi training head-on. If he succeeds in defeating it, he will be promoted to a formal disciple. If he fails, he will have to take a second make-up exam.

Guo Mo was very lucky. He passed the assessment successfully on his first try and was promoted from a menial disciple to a formal disciple.

After the promotion, most of the game functions are unlocked.

Similarly, the task prompts for the next stage are still very concise, including upgrading to the middle stage of Qi training, setting up the formation/refining the elixir for the first time, etc.

"It's OK. We can fight monsters now."

Guo Mo called Pan Yang, and the two of them came to the wild through the teleportation array, formed a team and began to kill various monsters to improve their experience and cultivation.

The early leveling is very boring.

Especially for games like "Xiu Zhen Fantasy", it is really difficult to play without reading the guide, and you can only focus on killing monsters to increase your level.

"Oh, the secret book has been revealed?"

Guo Mo was quite lucky. After killing a wild wolf monster in the early stage of Qi training, he unexpectedly got a skill book with a very low drop rate.

Unfortunately, this cheat book can only increase speed and cannot be used to improve attack power and monster-killing efficiency, so it is really useless.

"It's good to have it."

Compared to Guo Mo's disgust, Pan Yang's eyes turned red. He had killed so many monsters, why didn't any skill books drop? This was unfair!

This crappy game "Xiu Zhen Fantasy" is purely targeting him, the drop rate of monsters is really touching.

On the one hand, they killed monsters to accumulate experience, and on the other hand, they also wanted to get some materials needed for alchemy and formation setting.

The result is good...

They spent a long time killing monsters and gained a lot of experience, but few of the materials they wanted appeared.

"Is there something wrong with the item drop rate?"

Pan Yang was almost at his wit's end. It felt terrible to have spent a lot of time killing wild monsters and get nothing.

He had never played such a stingy MMO game. It was just some materials needed by a novice. Was it necessary to set the drop rate so low? "Don't worry, I took a look..."

Compared to Pan Yang who was defeated, Guo Mo seemed to have found the answer after checking the game manual.

"The item drop rate in this game, whether in the wild or in dungeons, is all tied to a system called merit!"

"The higher the merit, the greater the chance of dropping items, and the chance of dropping high-level or rare loot will also increase. Conversely, the lower the merit, the less the drop..."

"Merit?"

It seemed that he had not expected that the item drops in this game were not fixed. Pan Yang asked in surprise: "How do I get this thing?"

"It's not clearly written here. It only says that doing good deeds, slaying demons, eliminating karma and other game behaviors can gain Heavenly Merit."

Don’t say Pan Yang didn’t understand.

Even Guo Mo's mind was full of question marks after taking a look at the game's instruction document.

The thing about Heavenly Merit is that it is described in such a mysterious way, and why is the method of obtaining it also so mysterious?

Do good deeds to gain merit?

No... How to do good deeds in the game? And what is the standard for doing good deeds? At what level of good deeds can you hope to receive merit rewards? Does helping an old lady cross the road count?
