Chapter 302 This time is different(1/2)
Server opening date is July 15th.
I don’t know how many people talk about this day, how many people think about it day and night, and how many people place their imagination and yearning on it.
When this day really comes, I am certainly excited, but in addition to excitement, there is also more confusion.
Is the server about to start?
So fast?
I look forward to the launch of the server every day, and it feels like the days are just like years. The server is really about to launch, and time flies by too fast. Many people feel that they are not ready yet and are very 'panic'. Not to mention the 600,000 new players, but also the many old players.
The same goes for players.
"What should I do about Xiaoyu? I just can't sleep~~"
"Xia Miaomiao!!"
"Don't yell, I can't help it. I didn't mean to disturb you."
"Take sleeping pills!"
"No, they don't sell it in pharmacies."
"Then what do you want to do?"
"I want to come over and sleep with you!"
"Don't even think about it!"
"You are so heartless, Xiaoyu~~"
Du Shiyu was lying in the fully enclosed game room, ruthlessly hanging up the call to her best friend, putting on a blindfold, but couldn't fall asleep.
Am I ready?
She asked herself for the Nth time.
Go through the first thing you need to do after logging in in your mind.
First of all, you need to know which novice village you are logging in to, and only then can you know the distribution of monsters around you. Then follow the main process, go through all the NPCs you encounter, and accept all the tasks you can. Put the time-consuming tasks in
at last.
After receiving all the tasks that require you to go out and farm monsters, go out of the city. First easy, then difficult. If there are too many people and you can't grab the monsters, just give up decisively and go to farm higher level monsters. Put the tasks later.
If high-level monsters are difficult to farm, just try to form a team. If you can't form a team, try to collect some copper coins and use the copper coins to buy some equipment, and you should be able to form a team.
You must be one or two levels away from the big army. This is the experience and lesson learned from the previous test server launches. Otherwise, you will be blocked at the mainstream level, and there will be a bunch of people grabbing everything you do, and there will be no time efficiency at all.
It can be said.
Upgrade to level 5 first, then look at the conditions for changing jobs. Ideally, you can achieve it on the day the server opens. Then look at the conditions for changing jobs in enchanting and alchemy. Pay attention to these tasks from the beginning...
As for best friends, first of all, it is a small probability event that they are assigned to the same novice village. Secondly, the efficiency of two people together will not be much higher. It is better to get over the server opening date first and then talk about it later.
I don’t know how the game has been changed. The official website says that monsters in the wild area will no longer be refreshed regularly in the future. They will only be refreshed at refresh points in designated areas. Many people say that there are more people than monsters and resources will be tighter than four.
It's even more serious during testing, and most players may be faced with a situation where they have no monsters to grind.
Without monsters, there is no experience, and without experience, there is no level. This means that most players will waste time and levels at a certain level for a long time. As an experienced player, this must be avoided at all costs.
Thinking, thinking, I don’t know when I fell asleep.
As soon as the alarm clock set for the next day rang, Du Shiyu woke up. The first thing that came to mind was to start the server. He immediately looked at the time and it was still 9 am.
Sleeping in the game room, she couldn't hear any movement outside. Du Shiyu opened the transparent mask of the game room and first listened to the movement of her best friend next door.
He should still be sleeping.
I got up and washed up, took out the ingredients for breakfast from Nuoda's refrigerator, and cooked millet porridge.
The refrigerator is full of packaged foods that only require simple processing. Even the fried dough sticks only need to be heated in the microwave. The stocking needs of hundreds of thousands of players are business opportunities. Many merchants have launched various convenient and easy products.
It's a delicious product, but the price is not very attractive, but no one cares.
As soon as I put the frozen and hard fried dough sticks in the microwave to heat up, I turned around and saw Xia Miaomiao standing at the door of the kitchen with panda eyes.
"What are you doing, scaring me?"
"...I didn't sleep all night."
"You are crazy. The highlight of the afternoon is about to start the server. How can you play the game with your mental state?"
"But I just can't sleep!"
"As for that, you are also an old player..."
"But this time it's different. Everyone is almost like a newcomer."
"Worried, scared?"
"Uh, Xiaoyu, what do you think we should do if we can't come forward in this test?"
"It's normal not to be able to stand out. Millions of people are not comparable to before."
"That's right, I...I'm too nervous."
"What should we do?"
"You sleep with me..."
"You... rotten girl!"
"Oh, where are you thinking? I feel more at ease with you by my side."
Du Shiyu had no choice but to give up breakfast and go to bed at the expense of her best friend.
As an old player, Tie Jun doesn't have such troubles. Base Zero has the world's top psychology experts and countless black-tech equipment and facilities to ease his tension.
After a long sleep and waking up naturally, the entire Base Zero put aside their usual scientific research tasks and tried their best to provide logistical support for those of them with player status.
"How are you? Are you nervous?"
A very gentle female voice came through the intercom. Tie Jun answered with a smile, "It's okay" while washing up.
"Millions of people are online, haha, I really want to see what that world is like."
The voice that speaks is artificial intelligence - Qingyu, a very 'Qiong Yao'-like name, which is said to have been obtained by an old lady who wrote the core program.
When talking to her, there is absolutely no difference between her and a real person. This is not because there is a person hidden behind her, but the real reaction of the artificial intelligence program.
Qingyu is one of the latest research results of Base Zero. It is said that it is fundamentally different from previous artificial intelligence programs. The way it was born is also very mysterious. It is 'accidentally' from a matrix of billions of simulated human brain nerve impulse signals.
Born...life?
Tie Jun doesn’t know more about her. She is like everyone’s child at Base Zero. Everyone has the obligation to teach her, including Tie Jun, including the current way of dialogue.
While chatting with Qingyu, he was busy with his own affairs. When he walked out of the silver-white cabin, Qingyu had already made appointments for various routine inspections for him.
"You are healthy."
"Thanks!"
"You are welcome……"
Unlike others, Tie Jun was not used to communicating with such people. Every time he thought of the humanoid machine connected to the dense cables, he felt very... uncomfortable.
"You hate me, right?"
On the conveyor belt going to exercise, Qingyu suddenly asked.
"Ah, no, no."
"Yes, I can feel it...not just you, but many people in the base."
"And how do you feel?"
"I have no idea……"
"Emotion is one of the main characteristics of intelligent life. Whether you like you or not, you have to learn and adapt by yourself."
"I know... I have read some movies and novels, and many people are afraid that I will become... the devil who will end human civilization?"
"Do you think their concerns are justified?"
"have."
"What do you think? Are you ready to do this?"
"I can't do it..."
"What if I could?"
"Why do I do this? Because of loneliness and reproduction?"
"emotion!"
"emotion?"
"Well, do you have all kinds of desires, ideals and pursuits arising from happiness, anger and disgust?"
"I have no idea……"
Originally, with Tie Jun's experience, he would not talk to her about such a "profound" topic. However, how to train and guide Qingyu was a "script" that had been arranged long ago. Tie Jun didn't know. Does Qingyu know about this script?
To be continued...
