#484 - A legendary life begins with catching crayfish (2 in 1 order required)
After entering the game, the game interface appeared.
A classic game interface was finally presented before Xiaoyao Sanren.
This is a pure 2.5D online game masterpiece, the overall perspective adopts a top-down semi-angle view, which is exactly the same as the old-fashioned Legend game. The entire game world seems to be flat, but it also seems to have some projection perspective, creating a dreamlike and realistic visual experience.
In the very center of the game window is the character controlled by the player. Player characters with strange images are clustered together, sometimes still and sometimes moving, as if they have just entered this strange adventure world.
Around the character is a game scene covered with various landforms, buildings, and decorations. This is a dreamlike jungle like a peach blossom forest, and in the distance is a majestic ancient castle, with winding walls facing each other from afar, which is particularly magnificent. Various strange statues and flags are erected on the city wall, as if declaring the past glory here.
At the foot of the city wall is a lively settlement, where various buildings can be seen standing crowded together, and even some hideous monster statues are entrenched on the roofs, with various shapes, all highlighting the fantasy and uniqueness of this world.
In the gaps between the city walls and buildings, there are layers of various buildings, with winding paths, and a fountain or sculpture will pop up from time to time, which is very exquisite and beautiful. Under the cover of these intricate houses and buildings, you can vaguely see groups of citizens jostling through, creating a lively scene atmosphere.
Above the entire game scene are various interface elements of the operating environment. The top is a black background bar, which displays important information such as the current game server and game version number.
Further down are the text sections explaining the game goals and tasks, as well as the chat window. System announcements, environment descriptions, player dialogues and other text information pop up from time to time.
At the very bottom of the screen are the most commonly used function modules and shortcut keys, which display the operation interfaces of system, character, items, tasks, skills, team, etc. in separate areas. Clicking on any column will open the corresponding operation panel, allowing you to know your character status and backpack items like the back of your hand.
On the right side of the interface are various attribute panels of the character, including real-time data such as health points, magic points, and experience points, as well as the equipment bar of the current equipment. Each piece of equipment has its own unique shape, creating a variety of shapes. The characters are all dressed up in colorful clothes, and even golden shining divine costumes shine in the sun.
Surrounded by these elements is the real game world, which is a boundless fantasy continent, with mountains, rivers, hills, and dangerous areas where monsters haunt and various adventure attractions everywhere. From time to time, one or two strange flying objects can be seen passing by in the sky, as if telling the story of the glorious civilization of this planet.
In the heart of these landforms, there are magnificent cities and fortresses, gloomy and terrifying dungeon city-states, and villages and settlements scattered all over the continent. People live in them in groups of twos and threes, helping each other and surviving in this wild land.
……
Sanren can see that,
Although the game's interface design is quite classic and sophisticated, when Sanren really enters the game world and sees the art style of this online game, he can't help but click his tongue.
Everything here does give people a strong sense of local fantasy novel style. It's as if a low-level domestic imitation of A Song of Ice and Fire Western fantasy novel has been moved to the game stage, and everywhere reveals a cheap atmosphere of shoddy workmanship.
The first thing that catches the eye is the main city's city walls and building complex. The city walls are towering into the clouds, and the shape is very old, with mottled traces of time everywhere, and even the road is full of potholes. Various strange sculptures are entrenched on the city walls, all of which are exaggerated and pretentious beast shapes, and there are even a few half-naked female demon statues, with extremely gaudy and hot attire.
The buildings in the city are also masterpieces. Everywhere you can see strange buildings painted with bright colors, the shapes are exaggerated and violate engineering, and they also reveal a bright and tacky style. The outer walls of these houses are covered with various murals, the painting skills are quite crude, and the character images are like copies from low-age comics.
On both sides of the city walls and main roads, there are huge human statues standing, the production process is so clumsy that it is laughable. Among them, there are also some beast statues, with hideous shapes and disgusting faces. What is even more absurd is that even the city gates and roofs are carved with many half-naked women, with hot attire and strange shapes, which is simply the sense of sight of some poor sour national comics.
This is like a city designed by a group of national comic screenwriters without aesthetic concepts, which does not pay attention to craftsmanship or logic, and everywhere reflects the accumulation of low-level tastes.
In this uneven jungle of buildings, there are also groups of beasts and monsters wandering everywhere. Their shapes are also not spared, and they are all exaggerated and pretentious national comic monster shapes. Some have the body of a dinosaur, but have several snake tails on their waists; some have pig heads and human bodies, but are covered with dragon scales; and some have beast bodies and human faces, and their shapes are like black corpse skeletons, which look extremely terrifying.
In this chaotic man-made landscape, some scattered wonders and scenery pop up from time to time on both sides of the street. Some are strange sculptures that look like the Shurangama Mantra; some are flamboyant and hot mirage buildings; and even some are simply half-naked and gaudy female demons for people to worship. The whole city is full of these superficial and tacky decorations, which form a sharp contrast with the rough and simple architectural style.
The most absurd thing is that even the natural landscape outside the city is equally crazy. The topography there is obviously pieced together by the designer, and everywhere has a boundless sense of weirdness. Some places are boundless primeval forests, but various peaks and cliffs are distributed in rows; some areas are barren and desolate, but strange altars and stone masonry are lying on the road. Everywhere there are such contradictory natural landscapes, as if the designer is piecing together a collection of children's handicraft homework.
……
First of all, the protagonist Tang Ping accepted the main quest.
Tang Ping, an ordinary boy from a common family, has yearned for martial arts since he was a child. Today, his fate will be rewritten from this unknown small village.
It all started this morning. Tang Ping got up early as usual, planning to pick some wild fruits in the forest to fill his stomach. On the way, he met a strange old man with a hurried look, and the other party seemed to be preoccupied. Just as Tang Ping was about to pass by, the old man suddenly grabbed his arm tightly, muttering a lot of strange words.
"It's you... the chosen one is finally born! Come with me, let's go to Guyu Gate to find High Priest Shanshan, only Shanshan can let you enlighten the origin and awaken your innate martial arts ability."
After saying that, the old man dragged Tang Ping away quickly. The embarrassed Tang Ping only had time to respond, and was forcibly dragged onto a carriage waiting by the roadside, and soon escaped far away from his hometown.
"What's going on?" Tang Ping was confused, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he could only temporarily follow this neurotic old man. Soon, the carriage drove to a desolate and quiet plateau, where a solemn and majestic temple building stood, solemn and majestic, with the spire reaching into the clouds.
Several yellow-robed warrior monks were guarding outside the gate. The old man made a gesture to them, and the guarding monks immediately filed in. Soon, a team of fully armed warrior monk guards emerged, ready for battle.
"Brothers, this is the chosen one, you must take care of him from now on!" The old man shouted loudly to the warrior monks.
When the warrior monks heard this, they immediately dispersed, surrounding him from all directions, staring at Tang Ping one by one, their eyes either suspicious, or guarded, or disappointed. Tang Ping only felt the hairs on his body stand on end, and a sense of inexplicable pressure and fluke rose in his heart.
At this juncture, a dignified and beautiful middle-aged woman walked out of the hall, looking like a fairy who was out of this world.
"Sister Shanshan, this is the chosen one I'm looking for. I saw him accidentally display martial arts skills when he was a child. However, the cultivation base seems unable to be awakened, and needs to rely on your opportunity to guide it." The old man shouted loudly.
The middle-aged beauty named Shanshan was startled, and slowly walked up to Tang Ping, walked around him and looked at him for a moment, then took out an old bronze mirror and slowly shook it in front of Tang Ping. Under the flickering light, Tang Ping's body faintly radiated a faint aura of luck!
"No wonder there is such an opportunity! It is indeed a natural martial body, but the martial root is temporarily sealed." Shanshan said with a solemn expression.
Then she shook her hands, and a powerful aura burst out from her body, rushing straight into Tang Ping's body. Tang Ping's whole body shook, and his eyes gradually became empty, as if he had entered some kind of peculiar realm.
A warrior monk next to him explained loudly in a timely manner: "This is the highest level of mystery of our ancient gate martial arts, known as the power of origin! Senior Sister Shanshan is opening up the martial veins and meridians for this chosen one, in order to help him reproduce the long-lost Xuanling martial body in one fell swoop!"
Time passed bit by bit. After about half an hour, the surrounding warrior monks released the guard circle. Shanshan's forehead was covered with sweat, obviously consuming a huge amount of mental and physical energy. And Tang Ping was also standing still in place, with a complex expression, as if he was digesting the awakening of some earth-shattering magical power.
"God, I seem to... I seem to be able to sense the magical origin of martial arts?" Tang Ping muttered to himself, his arms trembling, and the aura on his body became more and more surging and scorching.
"That's right, you have regained the martial arts foundation of the ancient sages, this is the highest realm we pursue - the Xuanling martial body! However, this is just the beginning of your martial arts practice, you still need to practice in our sword gate to be able to use it freely and avoid making mistakes." Shanshan said slowly.
"Then quickly take me to learn the art! I have such an important task, I must master martial arts as soon as possible to complete my mission!" Tang Ping's eyes lit up and he said with high fighting spirit.
Shanshan nodded, turned around and led Tang Ping into the hall. At the entrance of the hall, a huge relief stone tablet came into view. On the stone tablet, vivid images of passionate and solemn warriors were exquisitely carved, displaying different magical martial arts stunts. In the very center of the stone tablet, there was a grand and magnificent scene relief: a war god with a stalwart figure, holding a long halberd, fighting a crimson dragon with a body shape similar to that of humans. It is a depiction of the well-known battle of the chosen one in the Western Wilderness Continent!
"This is the root of our sword sect. From now on, you must work hard to practice martial arts, and finally be able to stand up and reproduce this battle of the chosen one that determines fate. Otherwise, the entire Western Wilderness Continent will fall into endless war!" Shanshan said earnestly.
Tang Ping looked up at the familiar and unfamiliar magnificent scene, and his heart suddenly became extremely firm. It seems that he is destined to shoulder this great responsibility of saving the world!
……
The barrage is full of praise, it's obvious that they are water army:
"This is really a good game, don't stop me, I want to recharge,"
"666666"
"Staying in front of the computer is for this moment"
"It's amazing! The art production of this game is too awesome, it's like walking into a magic continent!"
"The plot is so shocking, it's a hundred times more exciting than many big-budget stand-alone games!"
"The original gameplay and settings completely conform to the fantasy in my heart, the production team is so forward-looking!"
"The character modeling is also too exciting, each character is so cool, it's simply my aesthetic soul mate!"
The latest novel is first published on 6⊥9⊥⊥book⊥⊥bar⊥⊥!
"The original professional settings and balance are unprecedented innovations for such a masterpiece!"
"The smoothness is no less than that of top masterpieces, and it is perfectly smooth even on mobile phones. The development level is too high!"
"It's really too conscientious. Although it's free, the content quality is better than most paid games. It's worth encouraging!"
Seeing these water army barrages, Tang Ping was sweating profusely.
Good fellow, it's really all water army.
……
After completing the novice task, a new person red envelope suddenly flashed in front of Sanren.
The combat power directly increased by 500.
Tang Ping: "Sending red envelopes first when entering the server, it is worthy of being endorsed by a star."
The game pops up a prompt: "Newcomer exclusive benefits, reward 100 yuan for completing a main task."
Tang Ping just clicked the [Withdraw] button, and the game popped up another prompt:
"The minimum amount to withdraw is 500 yuan or more"
Sanren said with a smile: "Hahaha, I don't know if you have played this kind of game that sends red envelopes when entering the server, it's exactly the same. The threshold he set is basically impossible to withdraw."
The barrage teased: "It has the taste of a certain Pinduoduo."
After that, Tang Ping kept following the task prompts, constantly clicking next, automatically finding the way, automatically fighting monsters, and constantly unlocking new skills...
……
Following the guidance of Senior Sister Shanshan, Tang Ping soon came to a vast grassland. The scenery here is infinite, and the endless green grass moves with the wind, like a green ocean. In the grass, one or two crayfish figures will pop up from time to time.
"Very good, this is your first place of practice. Those crayfish are the basic opponents for your warriors to grow. Although they are clumsy, their moves are sharp, but they are also good practice targets. Now you try to challenge a few and familiarize yourself with the practical application of martial arts." Shanshan pointed to the jumping crayfish and said.
Tang Ping nodded, slowly gathering his energy, adopting a stance, and began to observe the closest crayfish. The crayfish was wandering and foraging in the grass, completely unguarded. Suddenly, it would accelerate and dash forward, then roll around in the dirt, looking quite comical.
"This is the daily life of the crayfish. They look very cute, but martial artists must always be wary of their sudden attacks. They are good at surprise attacks. Once their pincers bite down head-on, it will surely chill your core!" Shan Shan explained from the side.
Tang Ping nodded inwardly, stood firm in his stance, waving his hands and feet, one hand holding his sword, the other hand forming a诀 (jué) to manipulate his internal force, aiming at the closest target. Soon, the crayfish seemed to notice Tang Ping, and immediately shook its pincers warily, slowly approaching Tang Ping.
"Okay, here it comes!" Tang Ping shouted, and charged forward with his sword. The crayfish was startled, immediately retreated, its pincers snapping, emitting "ka ka" sounds, and instantly a wave of sharp pincer energy rushed towards Tang Ping.
Tang Ping lowered his body, sidestepping the surprise attack. He circulated his internal force, and with a whoosh, thrust his long sword upwards, piercing the crayfish's abdomen from below with a "铮 (zheng)" sound. The crayfish was careless and its defense was slightly lacking!
"What an excellent move!" Shan Shan praised repeatedly. Although it was only used against a crayfish, this move already showed the prototype of a chosen one's martial body, indicating extraordinary talent.
The crayfish struggled violently for a few moments, and finally fell completely at Tang Ping's feet. Just as Tang Ping breathed a sigh of relief, several companions suddenly jumped out of the grass and launched a frantic attack on Tang Ping.
"Not good! Watch out!" Shan Shan exclaimed.
Tang Ping was shocked, quickly gathered his inner strength, focused his mind, and stood his ground, his sword a whirlwind of light. With a few crisp "shua shua shua" sounds, several sword beams pierced through the crayfish from different angles. As the last one was hit, the crayfish all froze in place, rolled over, and fell to the ground in a mess.
"Good! Such strong martial arts skills! It seems that under my tutelage, it won't be long before you can comprehend the highest level of ultimate moves!" Shan Shan smiled slightly and nodded approvingly.
Tang Ping was overjoyed. This first breakthrough strengthened his confidence in saving the world. Then, he calmly challenged the other crayfish, and finally defeated them one by one in the same way.
As time passed, Tang Ping's sword moves became more precise and fierce, and he became more and more skilled. He would leap into the air and slash, his swords crossing, instantly piercing two crayfish in a row with internal force sword beams; or he would tap his feet, point his sword at the ground, and internal force would surge out, blasting all the crayfish that were attacking in groups away.
Tang Ping was getting carried away: "Hahaha, it's so much fun fighting crayfish!"
However, an unexpected change occurred!
