Chapter 14 Players and NPCs
Oh, the cutscene is starting!
After realizing the situation was unclear, and failing to find the SKIP button, the pig had no choice but to obediently watch the cutscene.
Eileen, clad in silver armor, walked up to the players and solemnly began reading aloud a script given to her by a certain evil god:
"Welcome to the world of Errol, brave warriors who have answered the call. From now on, you are free to explore this world, or follow the tutorial quests to familiarize yourself with it step by step."
The choice is yours. Have fun! We look forward to the future of the world of Errol, where your legend will be told!
After saying this, Eileen turned and left, taking all the NPCs in the hall with her.
On the other side, a game panel also appears in front of the player, with a large red exclamation mark on the task module in the lower right corner.
The wind above the pig's mouth opened the task module and saw a task pop up.
Have you started the beginner quests?
whether】
Yes.
The wind above the pig's mouth chose "yes," and the beginner quest unfolded before him.
[Newbie Task 1: Future Development]
Go to the garrison at the east gate of the royal city to collect your desired weapons and equipment. Then, under the guidance of the royal city garrison, kill the monsters that threaten the safety of the people around the royal city and raise your level to level five.
Task Reward: Launch Class System
Then, apart from this task, there were no other prompts, not even a single marker on the map.
"Is that all? Not even a beginner's guide?"
The wind above the pig's mouth fiddled with the game panel in a daze, not understanding for a moment what the game wanted.
After all, during the closed beta 0.1, the map was full of mission coordinates, but now it's completely empty.
However, by using the map, the location of the east gate of the royal city was still determined by the wind at the pig's mouth.
At this moment, Sigu slowly emerged from the magic circle.
The character she was controlling at that moment had fair skin, delicate features, and a seductive demeanor.
She is a first-rate beauty.
Almost subconsciously, the wind from the pig's mouth wanted to make fun of Si Gu's appearance at that moment.
Then he heard Si Gu speak first, uttering a sentence leisurely from her moist cherry lips.
"Oh no, the pig's head has turned into a chicken's head."
The wind above the pig's mouth: "..."
The trio walked out of the palace together. As soon as they left, the wind in the pig's mouth once again marveled at how amazing the game's environment modeling was.
Everything from breathing to touch was similar to the real world, as if I had traveled to another world.
I wonder what surprises this closed beta test will bring?
Then, the game's surprise came!
Outside the hall, a large group of NPCs did nothing but wait for the players to come out.
"Mom, look! Those two older brothers and sisters are so cute! But the person next to them has a chicken head!"
In the crowd, a little boy shouted excitedly, but his mother covered his mouth.
"Do not be disrespectful to the hero, even if he is a chicken head. He is the hero summoned from another world by the God of Light to bring humanity to greatness once again."
Didn't Princess Eileen just tell us that?
"It's normal that the heroes look different from us, since they come from another world!"
That being said, the mother herself was actually quite puzzled as to why people from another world looked like this, with a chicken head, so ugly that words could not describe it.
Moreover, can someone who looks like this really lead humanity to greatness once again, as described in the divine oracle of the God of Light?
It's not that this mother is judging people by their appearance, but rather that the appearances of the abstract gamers are truly not flattering.
……
Recently, a strange creature called the Warriors has appeared in the royal city of Ruhr. They possess inexhaustible strength and are in a strange state of excitement all day long, with an extremely strong curiosity about everything.
This is the general impression of all the residents of Ruhr Royal City regarding the heroes who have been summoned.
However, to the garrison of the Ruhr capital, these warriors displayed a different kind of frenzy, an extreme yearning for slaughter.
"It's Warcraft! Everyone, attack together!"
The royal city of Ruhr is situated in a hilly region, surrounded by vast, dense forests. These forests are home to numerous monsters, forcing the royal family to establish a special garrison to eliminate the dangerous monsters surrounding the city.
Today, the garrison troops have had their eyes opened.
Those heroes who answered the call of the light, despite being equipped with the worst quality gear, killed any monsters they saw like madmen, disregarding injury and death.
The garrison even witnessed several heroes sacrificing their lives to bind powerful monsters, just so their comrades could kill them!
"Hahaha! Level 5! I can finally reach level 5!"
After joining the garrison to carry out the monster extermination mission, and after a day and a night of hard work in the game, watching the monster wolves in front of him turn to ashes and the experience bar on his character panel finally fill up, he couldn't help but shout out loud.
[Experience points required, would you like to level up?]
whether】
Without hesitation, I chose yes after a long, sleepless night.
The next moment, a series of notifications popped up in front of him.
[LV4→LV5]
[Level requirement met. Awaken class?]
whether】
Yes, yes, yes!
He clicked "yes" impatiently after a long, sleepless night, and then several controllable career options appeared before his eyes.
[Knight] [Priest] [Warrior] [Ranger] [Mage]
He stayed up all night carefully reading the introductions, trying to make a plan for his future development. But when he clicked on the descriptions of these professions, he was shocked by how rudimentary they were.
A knight, protected by holy light, excels in close combat and can cast a limited number of divine spells of light.
[A priest is a believer in the God of Light, possessing extensive knowledge of divine magic, but relatively weak in melee combat.]
[A warrior is someone who believes in their own body, possesses powerful physical healing abilities, and is proficient in physical enhancement skills.]
The Ranger, a deadly hunter lurking in the shadows, is highly mobile and skilled in stealth assassination and weakening enemies.
Mages, the darlings of magic, excel at magical attacks but are relatively weak in melee combat.
These job descriptions are so rudimentary that they are incomprehensible, exuding a cheap, low-quality feel, or like a game that was never properly made and was hastily presented.
If only this game were truly like that, but after several hours of intense gameplay and a sleepless night, I discovered that "Otherworld Online" is a game of extremely high quality.
Both the game content and gameplay are incredibly rich.
I couldn't sleep all night, wondering why the job descriptions in the game were so rudimentary.
"Hey Pig Bro, what class do you think I should choose? Should I choose the Ranger like you?"
Unable to sleep through the long night, trying to understand the career prospects from the rudimentary job descriptions, I had no choice but to seek help from "The Wind on Pig's Mouth," a self-proclaimed veteran player from the closed beta 0.1 who was now level 7.
"Ah... well... you can choose whatever you like... either one is fine..."
The wind on the pig's mouth scratched his head awkwardly. Although he claimed to be a veteran player, he had only been in the closed beta for an hour or two before the test was terminated due to a "game bug".
He knew no more about the game's class system than he did about sleepless nights.
It's just that I controlled an official character during the closed beta, so I subconsciously chose the same class as the official character.
Unable to offer any effective advice, he spent a long, sleepless night struggling with a painful decision.
Suddenly, he remembered the protagonist of the promotional CG that had attracted him to try the game—Princess Irene, who had sealed his account for two hours with a single sword strike—and she seemed to be a knight!
Okay, let's choose the Knights!
