"No need." Lin Tuo shook his head.

Looking at this elf-like, mini version of "Hathaway"... I felt a little emotional.

Through conversation and the search engine included with the game's built-in panel, he finally understood the situation.

At the beginning, Hathaway had never entered the "inhuman realm", so naturally she could not live too long. In the long history, she had already died.

But he also became a "hero" worthy of being written into textbooks.

Subsequently, because of his special historical status, he was posthumously recognized by the Supreme Council and became a kind of existence similar to a "historical and cultural celebrity".

Even the emergence and development of virtual technology are closely related to her.

The original virtual space was successfully developed based on the brain computing power contributed by Hathaway after his death... There are even rumors on the Internet:

The memories of this super strong man who was stationed on the surface and led extraordinary ground troops to surround the shelter are still stored in the data flow of the entire virtual architecture...

Of course, this is a relatively "fantasy" statement.

After a person dies, even if the so-called memory is preserved in some encryption method, it is just a meaningless mess.

Although the game "The Third Continent" is a role-playing game, its theme is "guarding".

Therefore, the development department designed the historical celebrity "Hathaway" into what she is today, to serve as a "consultant" for players after they enter, and to guide novices...

Frankly speaking, Lin Tuo's mood is still a bit complicated.

…

"Okay, it seems that you have a basic grasp of this world. So, Brave Guardian, please start your journey!"

On the main city street.

After hearing Lin Tuo's answer, the palm-sized "Hathaway" flying in the air returned to normal.

Waving his short arms, he said in an enthusiastic and encouraging voice:

"From the east gate of the main city, you can go to Tucker Village, which has recently been attacked by low-level monsters. You can go and kill them to increase your level..."

This will release the newbie mission.

After Hathaway finished the guidance, she did not stop, waved her wings, and flew towards the church in the city, and disappeared after a while.

Lin Tuo blinked, but didn't move.

He's not really here to play games, so he won't do novice tasks stupidly.

However, some experiments still need to be done.

Thinking about it, he stood there and tried to switch his consciousness back to his "body". The next second, his body briefly disappeared, and two seconds later, it reappeared.

With the corners of his mouth slightly raised, Lin Tuo turned around and looked around, his eyes fixed on a huge transparent window next to the street, which was filled with various armors and weapons.

It is a character like a weapons store.

After observing carefully for a few seconds, Lin Tuo suddenly activated his "Nightmare" ability.

Suddenly, an invisible ripple spread out, and Lin Tuo's cloth instantly transformed into a set of stylish and cool knight armor, and a crimson cloak unfolded behind him.

The novice sword in his hand also turned into a spear.

It aroused the envy of the surrounding players.

"A full set of Paladin equipment... Rich man, this must be level 50 equipment!"

"I thought he was a newbie, but he turned out to be a big boss, but what's the trick of changing clothes in the street while wearing newbie clothes?" a passerby wondered.

"Haha, don't you understand? Rich people have very weird habits..."

Listening to the comments of the passing players, Lin Tuo's expression was slightly strange, but he quickly focused on the game panel.

At this moment, the panel still has the initial data, but there are a lot more things on the equipment column.

"Really? It seems that the essence of the so-called virtual space is to connect people's spiritual bodies...

Everything you see, including the main city, characters, skills, equipment... are all illusions acting on the mental body...

This is not much different from the essence of nightmare...So, when I use nightmare to copy equipment, it is equivalent to modifying the data of my own node..."

Lin Tuo's eyes showed a look of thought:

"If we follow the terms of games on Earth, does this count as using a plug-in to modify local data? Hiss..."

Thinking of this, Lin Tuo's eyes brightened slightly, he turned his gaze to the experience bar and whispered:

"Laman?"

The next second, the experience bar was suddenly filled up, and a magical light spread around his body.

"Congratulations on reaching level 1!"

Really ok?

Lin Tuo was shocked. He just gave it a try. Can he really modify the data casually while driving Nightmare?

After thinking about it, Lin Tuo moved his steps, turned around, and fell into a quiet and deserted street, avoiding the eyes of other players.

Then, I saw magical auras swaying around him as if they were free of money.

"Congratulations on reaching level 2!"

"Congratulations...Level 3!"

"level 4!"

…

In a matter of ten seconds, Lin Tuo was upgraded to level 60 in one go, with all his skill points and all.

When he walked out of the alley, he had become a genuine level 60 player.

If he wasn't worried about attracting attention, he felt that he could modify it to the full level in one go...

"What is this? You won't be kicked out by the anti-cheating system, right? I don't know if this game has an anti-cheating mechanism..."

Lin Tuo couldn't help but think wildly.

Just as I was thinking about how to investigate next, suddenly, an eye-catching pop-up window popped up on the game interface.

Not a "penalty notice", but a system activity notice!

At the same time, suddenly, a bright magical halo suddenly erupted over the huge church in the center of the main city, and huge bells echoed.

In an instant, countless players stopped on the street and looked up at the sky in surprise.

Then, a majestic female voice resounded throughout the sky:

"Alert! Alert! The army of Warcraft invades the third continent from the distant void! It is about to threaten the land we live on. Guardians, please pick up your weapons and defend our spiritual home together!"

“The new large-scale dungeon ‘Extreme Battlefield’ will open in ten minutes!

At the time of introduction, all 1.18 million online players from all regions of the Third Continent will gather in the ‘Extreme Battlefield’!

Please rush to the teleportation array in the central area of ​​the main city immediately and wait to enter. Those who fail to arrive after the time limit will be treated as deserters and will be forcibly teleported to enter and lowered to one level!

And deduct the experience gained from the current level!"

"Notice again, new large copy..."

The sound was so loud that it echoed over the main city, and even players in the shops could hear it clearly.

At the same time, similar sounds also appeared in other service areas throughout "The Third Continent".

Even among thousands of copies.

Whether players are wandering around the main city or fighting in the dungeon, they are forced to receive this pop-up window and hear the system-level broadcast.

There was a brief silence, and then Lin Tuo heard the surroundings boiling!

It was completely chaotic, and almost all the players looked surprised and confused.

"New dungeon? 'Extreme Battlefield'? What is this? Why haven't you heard any news?!"

"Large-scale dungeon? Players from all zones enter at the same time? Are you crazy? Now combined, there are at least one million people online in all zones! They are all crowded into one dungeon. Can the server support it??"

"Didn't you hear? 1.18 million! Forced entry! This must be to concentrate all the computing power into this large copy! Is it too sudden? There was no news at all before!"

"Stop talking, hurry up and go to the teleportation array. If you exceed the deadline, you will lose your level! Fortunately, I am in the main city, and those in the dungeon will be in trouble."

Amidst the noisy discussion, the players in the main city woke up one after another. Although they didn't understand what was going on, they still ran frantically towards the central area of ​​the main city!

Forced downgrade!

Although it sounds like it should only take ten minutes to return to the main city, no one dares to bet. What if we play a word game? We have to go to the square?

However, although most players in the main city were puzzled, they were still mostly excited.

The opening of a new copy is inherently eye-catching.

What's more, it is a large dungeon for the whole region, and a super large dungeon where millions of people enter at the same time is unprecedented!

If it is released, it will be a big event that can cause heated discussions on the entire Internet!

Players themselves have a bellicose personality. Who wouldn’t want to see this kind of excitement?
