Virtual World - Earth Online
Ch.3 - Creating Roles
In the morning, Ouyang Shuo used his brain to access the official website of Earth Online. He first logged in and scoured the forums, noticing that there were not many posts, and that most of them complained about how expensive the gaming cabins were.
A member named Gong Chengshi had created a post called , which caught the attention of Ouyang Shuo.
The post uses only limited game data and previous gaming experience, and Gong Chengshi has noted that the Master's track requires players to be proficient in the management of territory and resources, while at the same time requires continued investment of funds. He doesn't recommend it to the average player. Otherwise, it would be very easy to lose money without assistance if one's territory was seized.
Seeing such an accurate prediction, Ouyang Shuo suspected that Gong Chengshi might be a beta tester. He wrote down Gong Chengshi's ID number, and then left the forum, heading straight for the mall area to buy the online gaming cabin.
The cabin has different models according to different height and body size that needs to be chosen. He quickly completed the payment while online and was told that his new gaming cabin would be delivered that afternoon.
This is not a light novel where the MC has to wait in long lines under the scorching sun to buy the game. No, it must be the past. For over a hundred years now, basically all product purchases are now done online.
At 3pm, the doorbell rang with delivery for his new cabin. The entire cabin body is silver-gray and beautifully laid out, sleek and sophisticated. Under Ouyang Shuo's direction, the staff quickly took him upstairs and installed him in his room.
Sun Xiaoyue was somewhat surprised to see the delivery arrive so quickly but not too. After all, in this day and age, there are many virtual games online. So, getting a gaming cabin to play the game is very normal.
The next day is New Year's Day. Ouyang Shuo spent the entire day playing with Binger. Xiaoyue also joined in, which made Binger mad!
This was almost unexpected, as Ouyang Shuo was usually very strict about learning and learning Bing. After all, no matter what era it was, knowledge should never be left behind.
The reason Ouyang Shuo pampered Binger so much was because he did not have much time to do anything with him when he started playing. The early stages of the game require a lot of investment of time to build a foundation, so he will not have much time to spend with him once the game starts. For now, it was still a holiday, and he could spend time with her.
*******************************
1 January 2190, 8 nights. Thousands of players eagerly await Earth Online to officially open. Ouyang Shuo opened his gaming cabin to see that it was filled with a half-dense gel, with a human-shaped depression in the middle. After putting himself inside the gaming cabin and stabilizing the pressure, the room was covered with a soft hiss.
“(Ding), permission to access cyberlink?” A beautiful voice sounded from the computer.
"Izin given!" Said immediately.
“Twoven connections. Customer's personal identification information has been retrieved. Can we tie up your identity? "
"Please!" A second later, Ouyang Shuo felt a sharp and small prick on his body.
“(Ding), personal DNA sample collection completed and match your personal information. Can we open up the nutrition channels to support long online play times? ”
"Open!" Moments later, a tube of nutrient solution pierced itself into his left arm. The computer will monitor his condition at all times, and if his body gives off signs of hunger, he will begin to intelligently begin to transfer nutrients to keep him alive and healthy.
“Nutritional solution channel has been opened. The game cabin is fully functional. Do players want to enter the game? "
"Yes!" A while later, there was a sense of rush, and Ouyang Shuo's mind left his body, subconsciously sucked towards the colorful vortex in front of him.
When he opened his eyes, Ouyang Shuo looked around and found himself in an open pavilion, with no walls or roof. Only a thin mist hung around him, and it was as if he had come to some kind of fairyland.
Standing in front of Ouyang Shuo was an extremely beautiful young lady. She has a beautiful face and curves in all the right places to send her heart pumping. The ribbon fluttered around him gently, giving him a cold and otherworldly temperament. He is just the limit of human imagination for a game avatar that comes to life.
Legend has it that eighty percent of male players have become captives of the beauty of her red dress. Even after his birth, Ouyang Shuo still took ten seconds to wake up from his enchanted gaze. He knew that the elf was actually the incarnation of Skynet's host AI Gaia. He could only see it from a distance!
“Welcome to Earth Online. Please state your character. Names can only consist of Chinese characters. No symbols or other strange characters are allowed, and the use of derogatory words or terms is not allowed. ”The words coming out of her red lips are sweeter than honey, so charming …
"Qiyue Wuyi!" Ouyang Shuo replied immediately, choosing not to use his ID from the past, but to take on a new name. This poetic name, which is part of the famous battle poetry, for a character whose life will be spent on the battlefield, is very artistic, hehe!
TL: Qiyue Wuyi is part of the Qin Poem which talks about how the officers and soldiers fought together.
"System Notification: Your name has met the naming rule; it has not been selected before. You have named your character! Please select the game mode you will play: Adventure mode game or Master mode game. You can only select one mode. "
"Choose a Master mode game," Ouyang Shuo said without hesitation. In the past, he had chosen Adventure mode games but this time it would naturally be different. A year from now, the government will reveal the Convention Agreement, and reveal that Kingdom Building is the core of the game. Representatives of the great powers all chose the Master mode game.
"Special Warning: Other than in times of war, Lords are not allowed to leave their territory. As compensation, players can have Adventurer sub-professions. ”
'The 'Lords cannot leave their territory' is limited only to the main system, which is also called the main map. The Battlefield Map, of course, had no such restrictions and nobles could roam freely within it.
Adventurer mode games are divided into battle and work, each player can only choose one of the two. The classes for the Chinese territory are Strategist, General, Knight Expert, Priest, Healer, and Court Officer, so all have six professions.
The fighting work had no further progress, but players could freely choose their cultivation method or weapon. The work of a knight expert for example, has access to combat weapons, such as daggers, swords, whips, mace, spears, hammer axes and, bows.
However, if an expert knight wielding a sword did not know the sword technique, he would be extremely ineffective.
Jobs that included the normal work of all walks of life, namely lifestyle classes, such as blacksmiths, tailors, doctors, architects, fishermen, farmers, veterinarians, winemakers, chefs, carpenters, masons, farmers, shipbuilders, and many others.
Lifestyle classes have no character level, only skill level. Lifestyle players would also not lose the experience after death. That is the kind of protection for those players.
"General Election" This is his previous career in his past life, a familiar path.
"System Notification: Confirms work, generates character attributes, review!"
Ouyang Shuo opened the stat panel to check his personal attributes.

Free attribute point surplus: 2
Planting method: None
Skills: Basic Gathering Techniques, Basic Diplomacy Techniques, Basic Weapon Proficiency

Ouyang Shuo's innate stats were quite ordinary. His Body Structure and Comprehension were almost full value while Luck and Charm were barely ordinary. With a high Body Structure and Understanding, this will contribute greatly to the training of planting methods. With charm or low luck, he may be very unlucky in the game, and there will be difficulties in triggering the adventure.
For skill columns, Basic Collecting Technique was a common technique available to all players. Basic Diplomacy Technique is a common technique of God and Basic Weapon Proficiency is a common technique for officers.
Skills have no points that can be put into them. However, there are statistics of expertise that can only be gained through repeated use. It takes a level of proficiency in a particular skill to be upgraded to the next level.
For the attributes obtained, Ouyang Shuo chose to include his surplus points into Command and Political statistics. As a ruler, Command and Politics are his two most important skills.
“Tip System: Please choose your place of birth. You can choose 'random', or specify an approximate location. There are random opportunities to spark adventure, but there are big risks. Players, please choose carefully. ”
Choosing a place of birth is a hidden trap in the system. Many players, seeing adventure opportunities, will choose Random with their eyes shining. They have fantasies of being born in a cave, getting some mysterious cheats, and coming out with a big edge to master the game.
But the greater chance is that they enter the game in the den of tigers, and have an immediate and glorious death. Less than 0.001% of players have a lucky encounter or something similar from triggering an adventure system, and even then most adventures are very basic.
‘Choosing an approximate location 'actually is a stealth reward for the astute player. The God players could make choices based on their development plans, choosing an area that suited them. Adventurers can be directly assigned to an area near the Imperial city that created the system, avoiding the difficulty of having to make it to one of the Imperial cities.
"Please specify approximate location."
The beautiful little elf's hand waved and appeared a miniature version of the Chinese 3D map. The overall picture is no different from reality, except it is ten times larger.
This China has no detailed outline of the state, nor does it use dynastic marks. Instead, the game has sifted through and combined five thousand years of Chinese history, choosing nine different ancient cities as the capital of the Empire. The cities were: Jingdu, Xianyang, Chengdu, Dali, Luoyang, Changan, Xiangyang, Jianye, and Quanzhou.
Outside the territory of the Imperial Capital all the wilderness, occupied by ferocious beasts, bandits, barbarians, and refugees, waited for adventurers to explore it. Similarly, the territory of God players would also be built in the wilderness. Need to overcome all obstacles to build your territory is not excessive!
Ouyang Shuo chose his territory in southern Guangxi near Vietnam, near the coast. As for the specific location, he would only know that after entering the game and exploring.
“System Notice: Your birthplace has been selected! Are you going to start the Village Development Search? ”
"Special Notice: The Village Building Search is unique to Lord players. If this initial task fails, the player will lose the qualification to build a village and can only play as an adventurer. This is an unnecessary search. Players can choose to give up and enter the game to find their Village Creation Token. ”
"Open Quest!"
The Token of Village Creation was the first difficulty God encountered. The villages were divided into four levels: bronze, iron, silver, and gold. 80% of the early villages were bronze-class, almost 20% iron, less than 0.01% silver, and there will only be one Gold Village Creation Token in the entire China.
Ouyang Shuo knows that the representatives of the Chinese main forces have a gaming cabin which is a special edition provided by the government. Their special edition had one advantage: they could pass through the Village Building Quest instead of obtaining a silver-level Village Creation Token. This is the result of a compromise between the government and these forces.
And to further balance this privilege, Gaia had one golden Village Creation Token hidden in this Village Building Quest, which could be found by a player.
