Chapter 28 Level 8
Lao Xu smiled mysteriously, and many players were relieved to hear this internal news.
Obviously, he really lived up to his reputation as “the best analyst of online games”.
A player asked, “That is to say, the currency exchange system will be opened when half of the players reach level 10, right?”
However, Lao Xu shook his head and said, “No. In fact, players will have a trial mission when they reach level 10, and they can only transfer their professions after completing the mission.”
“Trial mission? Is it the instance zone system mentioned in the announcement for everyone in the server?”
Lao Xu explained, “Yes, the trial mission of Huaxia District has been opened, but players can only receive the task after they reach level 10. Maybe someone has found the entrance of the instance zone accidentally.”
“Then, the difficulty of the trial mission should be slight. After all, all players have to complete it before they can change professions. If it’s too difficult, countless players will be stuck in the Novice Village!” Usually, players with strength were not very confident.
“You are wrong! The opposite is true! The trial mission is as difficult as an instance zone of level 10. It’s definitely a big test for novice players!” However, Lao Xu denied his words.
“Ah? Why is it so difficult? Then what should I do if I fail to complete it? Do I have to stay in the Novice Village without transferring my profession?”
Lao Xu’s words made countless players feel worried. They didn’t expect that they could not transfer their professions at level 10 and they had to receive a trail mission, which was very difficult. Many ordinary players were panicked.
“I’ve told you earlier. Myth represents the revolution of online games. It’s a real virtual world in which we are immersed. In traditional online games, we control the character with our hands, but in Myth, we must treat it as the real world and play with our whole body. That’s the reason why the trail mission exists. It’s the first barrier in the virtual world of Myth and it will help us to understand the way of the game in it.” Lao Xu explained with resignation.
“Then, the players with advanced motor nerves in the real world have more advantages in this virtual world, right?” A player noticed it with great subtlety.
“Yes, the players with advanced motor nerves have innate advantages and can adapt to this virtual world faster and their initial attributes are also higher than ordinary players. But this is only a virtual game world, and it is not difficult for ordinary players to catch up. The game experience is still useful in this world.”
“Wait, you’ve mentioned the revolution of online games. Will it lead to the changes in the Hall of Fame? After all, it shows the rankings of master players.” A player asked suddenly.
“Yes, the Hall of Fame represents only the rankings of the old times. Nowadays, online games change rapidly and even masters will be eliminated if he/she can’t adapt to this new virtual online game era.” Players in Huaxia District were shocked by what Lao Xu had said and then he concluded, “All in all, only by adapting to this virtual world can you stand at the peak earlier, and the trial mission is the first test. But you don’t need to worry too much. Every Novice Village has tens of thousands of players and there are always senior players and masters, or elite players in major guilds. So I think it’s not a difficult task for us to complete the mission. Besides, you can form a team of 5 to do the trial task. Masters can do it by themselves and if you are not confident, you can play with the masters or pay for them to help you. Haha.”
“Yes! We can play with the masters!”
“I want to join the major guilds! Can you bring me when you do the trial mission?”
“I want a master in 5321 Novice Village! You have to be powerful and can help me do the trail mission!”
Many players had been relieved a lot. Now, they were talking and laughing and they sent all kinds of applications for forming a team. But the advanced players were obviously different from the average players.
“Lao Xu, do you know the function of the honor points and fame points? Is it just a ranking like before? I guess that it should not be that simple.”
The issues that ordinary players cared about came to an end and then Lao Xu started to answer the questions of major guilds and senior players.
“At present, I only know that the fame points system is related to NPC. For example, only when your fame points meet certain requirements, can you receive special tasks, or trade special items with NPC. Maybe the system will have demands for your fame points if you want to develop in major cities or purchase land to open a store. So, major guilds, you can start to prepare for it.” Lao Xu said with uncertainties, “The honor points are related to the entire national district. But I have not figured out the functions yet. After all, there is only Huaxia District on the honor list, and there is only one player on the fame list. The information is too limited. But I’m sure it was the player on the current fame list who helped Huaxia District to win the honor twice.”
“Is that mysterious player who has hidden the name? Do you know his identity?”
“I don’t know. We belong to different Novice Villages. I only know that he is a male priest player in No. 9191 Novice Village, but I can’t guess his identity.”
“The priest? Maybe he’s Nai Qi. He ranks 14th in the Hall of Fame.”
“I’m not sure. I can recognize him if I once met him. But now I don’t have enough information so I can do nothing about it.”
“Lao Xu, you are so modest! You are amazing to find so much information!”
“Yes! You are the best analyst of online games!”
…
“Hey! You’ve killed the born-again clergy of the 10th ordinary BOSS and passed the trial and got a trial certificate.”
Xiaofeng sat down on the ground as if he was dead. And he didn’t even want to move his fingers.
It took him two hours to kill the born-again clergy! It was three times the time to kill the born-again paladin!
Even if there was no physical exhaustion in the game world, the mental exhaustion made Xiaofeng almost collapsed. He had been blocking all the time without the slightest negligence.
Xiaofeng finally realized that the born-again paladin was a test of the defensive ability of a team, that was, the shield warrior and the priest. As long as they could resist the damage, the difficulty of killing it was basically zero.
While the born-again clergy aimed to test the DPS. The players needed to gave strong DPS and kept on blocking. Because the born-again clergy was standing still and attacking with skills.
So the test of the trial mission was clear. One tested the defense lineup while the other tested the DPS lineup.
As a priest, Xiaofeng lacked DPS ability. It took him 2 hours to kill the born-again clergy by ordinary attacks. And its ability to increase the HP was abnormal and Xiaofeng felt worried about his profession for the first time.
There was one more trial certificate in his backpack. But it could overlap, only occupying a grid, which made Xiaofeng confused. Could he get a lot of trial certificates?
But Xiaofeng ignored this problem. He turned over, stood up, walked to the place where the born-again clergy died and picked up the drops.
He got three pieces of equipment once again, including two pieces of green clothes and a piece of blue clothes. And the blue one was a mace!
Mantra mace
Quality: rare
Equipment type: Two-handed blunt instrument
Equipment level: 10
Equipment requirement: priest and mage
Attributes:
INT: 11-15
Intelligence+8
Spirit +9
Hit rate + 2%
The attributes were fair and Xiaofeng put it in his backpack. The two green equipment were cloth shoes and Xiaofeng also put them in the backpack. Then he continued to find something on the ground.
However, it was a pity that the born-again clergy didn’t drop anything else, which made Xiaofeng somewhat disappointed. He thought that he could find the skill book. He should be able to learn the skills book dropped by the priest BOSS.
And he also didn’t find the key to the seal (right). He guessed that it might be dropped by the born-again clergy, but he could do nothing now, so the key to the seal (left) dropped by the born-again paladin was also useless for him and he could only put it away.
Both BOSSes had been killed by him. Xiaofeng looked at the time and found that he had spent three hours here. He quickly ended the challenge and quit the instance zone.
“Hey! You’ve successfully completed the trial mission ‘underground hole’ and got 21,000 points of experience.”
“Hey! You’ve reached level 7, and got 1 free attribute point to allot.”
“Hey! You’ve reached level 8, and got 1 free attribute point to allot.”
“Hey! You are ranked first in the Huaxia District Rankings, do you want to hide your name?”
“Hey! Because your character name doesn’t conform to civilized norms, it’s automatically concealed.”
At the moment when Xiaofeng left the instance zone, two white lights of upgrading rose from his body, and a series of system tips came one after another.
The experience brought by completing the 10th-level instance zone was enormous and Xiaofeng increased by 2 levels and his experience bar of level 8 also became half full.
Xiaofeng was happy and thought that the three hours of fighting was rewarding. The benefits were great and Xiaofeng returned to the Novice Village immediately.
He had been thinking about the trial certificate in his backpack. He didn’t know whether he could transfer professions or not, so he wanted to go back and have a try.
“Brave adventurer, the main city is located in the turbulent land of the land of God. If you want to go to the main city, you still have to improve your strength. You can come back after you reach level 10.”
However, it was a pity that the village head decisively refused him. He was speechless and then turned to the bind to hand in the task to the priest.
“What? The paladin and the clergy were reborn by the evil forces?”
After listening to Xiaofeng’s description of the underground hole, the old priest immediately walked around the room in uneasiness.
“Pious trainee priest, are you willing to go to the forbidden land to purify the souls of the great paladins?”
“Hey! Do you accept the trial mission to purify the soul? Go to the instance zone to kill the born-again paladin or the born-again clergy and bring the trial certificates back. Tip: This task can only be completed after you’ve reached level 10.”
Well, he jumped directly to the trial mission. Xiaofeng reluctantly accepted the task. Although there were trial certificates in his backpack, he couldn’t hand them in because his level was low. It seemed that he could only go to upgrade.
