Chapter 342: The Unlucky Ye Di

~13 min read 2,510 words

Inside the Palace of Koya City.

The three people looked at Lin Chao, expectation in their eyes.

"Manager, what classes can we players choose from?"

It was Ye Di who spoke.

The other two also looked at Lin Chao, their gazes filled with anticipation.

After all, in reality, one cannot fly and lacks powerful force.

In this world with over 99% realism, becoming a Transcendental and experiencing superpowers like flight is extremely desirable.

"The current class system consists of six types: Warrior, Swordsman, Thief, Assassin, Wizard, and Mage, among which there are hundreds of other classes.

The six mentioned above are the most mainstream.

The first four do not require special talent; anyone can activate them.

But for the latter two, the requirements for talent to become a practitioner are extremely high.

For example, a Mage requires 3 points of Intelligence at level two to undergo Awakening."

Lin Chao explained every class to these three people.

Lin Chao's current main class is also the most common one: Swordsman.

After all, he is very proficient with a sword.

Nowadays, he is considering whether to take Mage as a secondary class.

To take a secondary class, one must reach at least level ten in their profession.

But after taking a secondary class, the speed of leveling up will slow down.

Therefore, in the past, Lin Chao did not choose a secondary class in order to improve his strength, but now that he has players who can help him train, he naturally has the confidence to do so.

In this world, the status of a Mage is far greater than that of a Swordsman or Warrior.

Moreover, Mages have numerous methods.

Every god actually has a Mage class as a secondary profession.

"3 points of Intelligence to choose Mage? It seems I have no fate with being a Mage!"

"What kind of Mage would a real man be?

I choose Warrior!"

"I'll choose Thief!"

These three people, lacking special talent, could not choose other classes and could only select the four classes available to ordinary people.

After choosing their classes, the three began to sense their physical conditions.

"I am a Warrior now." Shengtian chose the most ordinary Warrior, squinting his eyes, "I feel very strong now; facing a boxing champion, I might be able to take two punches from him without falling.

This feeling... is very strange."

"It's a pity this is in a game; if only I had this ability in reality."

"If you want this ability in reality, you have to go to the Special Zone and become one of the elite there!"

The three laughed and joked.

"Tell me, how does this game simulate supernatural power?

It feels just like the real thing." The one speaking was Heiniu, whose chosen class was, surprisingly, Assassin, which did not match his physique.

His physique was clearly more suited for a Warrior.

"It's just a game, are you taking it seriously?" Ye Di smiled.

"Alright, from now on, you are all true practitioners.

You also have a better understanding of your current situation.

Now, you should also take on greater responsibilities."

At this moment, Lin Chao looked at the three.

These players were his foundation.

Therefore, he also began to let these players face real slaughter.

After all, the greatest use of players, their biggest cheat, is gaining experience by killing monsters.

This is something the indigenous people cannot obtain.

"Several Shadow Rats have slipped into the sewers on West Street; do you have the confidence to Slay these Shadow Rats?"

"No problem!"

"Manager, leave it to us!"

"We guarantee the mission will be completed!"

"The Shadow Rats are weak, but they are aggressive; be careful not to get hurt by them, or it would be very embarrassing." Lin Chao finished reciting his lines with emotion.

"Just rats, piece of cake!"

"Kill monsters, kill monsters!"

The three were very excited, as it was their first time killing monsters.

Under Lin Chao's lead, the three left the Palace.

This was also the first time the three had truly left the Palace.

"There is so much dung on this street..." Not long after coming out, Ye Di covered his nose.

"This is the reality of the game.

In this social environment and at this level of technology, it would be absurd if the ground were clean and bright." Shengtian said dismissively; he liked to think and was the most mature and steady of the three.

"Look at these dilapidated houses, these ragged Commoners... these are things we players need to save; this is the meaning of this game!" Heiniu said loudly, a sense of superiority on his face.

"Right, I feel like we shouldn't treat this game as a game, but as a group transmigration story like the ones on TV."

"Our arrival is meant to use force and technology to change this world and liberate all of humanity!"

Heiniu became more excited as he spoke.

Beside him, Lin Chao was very calm.

With the technological level of the real world, if it were substituted into this world, one would be dead upon encountering a Legendary, let alone the high and mighty gods.

Of course, players have other uses.

"It's a pity the game is still in closed beta; except for the Manager, other NPCs only speak garbled code," Ye Di lamented.

They could not understand the language of others in the game.

In their view, the people in the game were just making random sounds when they spoke.

"Ye Di, I have a different opinion on this.

I have specifically observed other NPCs these past few days; when they communicate, there is a pattern, it is not random, especially..." Shengtian suddenly made a strange syllable, "for example, this syllable means 'sweeping' in their language."

"What do you mean? They aren't just babbling? Could it be... this game has created a whole language? Is it that outrageous?"

Ye Di was shocked, then looked at Lin Chao.

Seeing this, Lin Chao did not hide it: "The God Continent is vast and has many races; these races have brilliant civilizations and their own languages.

And now, all living beings share the Common Tongue; of course, other races also have their own unique languages."

"Holy crap, this game is awesome, it actually created a language!"

"With the power of current computers, isn't creating a few languages a piece of cake?" Heiniu did not care.

However, Shengtian glanced at Lin Chao at this moment; he had a different view on these things.

Creating a language is a massive workload.

Moreover, creating a language with cultural characteristics is not something an ordinary computer or AI can do.

That requires the tempering of time and the influence of civilization.

"Why doesn't this game use our language? Why create a new one? Won't we be unable to understand what the NPCs are saying?" Heiniu said from the side.

"That's what gives it immersion and a sense of presence, get it!" Ye Di clearly liked this setting; he looked at Lin Chao, "Manager, when can we players understand these NPCs' language?"

"After you reach level ten, you can spend Gold to buy a Language Scroll, and then you can gain the ability to use the Common Tongue.

Of course, you can also find other NPCs and spend copper coins to have them teach you the language."

"Holy crap, to play a game, I have to learn a foreign language inside it?"

"If I had been this diligent when I was in school, would I be struggling so much now?"

Only Shengtian frowned: "Manager, after using a Language Scroll, we can use the Common Tongue in the game, which means we can speak the language these NPCs are currently speaking?"

"Yes."

"Then... in reality, can we speak this language?" Shengtian looked at Lin Chao's face.

"Everything requires you to explore for yourselves; the fog also needs to be lifted by you," Lin Chao gave an official response again.

Ye Di laughed: "Group leader, you're too deep into the role!

I can fly here, does that mean I can fly in reality?"

Shengtian smiled: "Ye Di, the similarity between this game and reality is as high as 99%.

I'll give you a simple example: if we learn to ride a horse in the game, perhaps... we have also mastered the skill of horse riding in reality."

Shengtian looked at this world; he was thinking a lot.

In his view, this was not just a game.

This game had many areas available for development.

The simplest one: training troops.

"Is that so?" Ye Di frowned, then laughed again, "I'm already playing a game, why would I come here to learn horse riding."

The three of them laughed and did not delve deeper into this topic.

Only Shengtian kept observing this world.

"The monsters are in the sewers; warriors, enter the sewers and slay these evil monsters!" After a while, Lin Chao brought the three to the sewer entrance.

Outside the sewer entrance, a thick, fishy stench rushed toward them.

If they encountered such a sewer in reality, they would have run as far away as possible.

Now, this was a game; facing this smell, they did not care and dived straight into the sewers.

Lin Chao did not follow them in.

It would not be easy to wash this set of clothes if it got dirty.

Right now, he did not have much Gold on him.

Inside the Palace.

Shivana returned from outside the city; she looked at the attendants in the Palace: "Where is the Prince?"

"The Prince took those three strange people to the sewers on West Street to slay Shadow Rats."

"Slay Shadow Rats?" Shivana frowned.

In her view, those three strange people were just the most Ordinary Commoners and were not worth the Prince's effort to cultivate.

Now, the Prince was actually accompanying the three of them to slay the lowest-tier Shadow Rats; to outsiders, this was ridiculous.

"It's a pity the Prince has no one useful by his side," Shivana felt bitter.

If the Prince had someone useful, why would he take three Commoners to slay Shadow Rats?

"The Space Rift will expand and take shape in a few months, sigh." Shivana thought about the situation outside the city and was even more worried.

Unfortunately, she and the Prince could not handle this matter at all; it required the power of the City Lord Mansion and the Church to resolve.

The Prince did not have any powerful forces in his hands, not even a knight squad.

The wealth within the Palace is also not much left, unable to recruit powerful adventurers.

Shivana's eyes are full of worry.

……

In the Canghai World, Improper Beast Tamer private small group.

Heiniu sent a series of messages.

"Laughing to death, today we went to kill monsters, killing the lowest-tier Shadow Rats.

As a result, do you know, Ye Di sacrificed himself heroically!"

"Shadow Rats are that strong? Aren't they the lowest-level monsters?"

"What a pity, Ye Di has to wait forty-eight hours before he can re-enter the game."

"Get lost, I wasn't killed by a Shadow Rat, I was careless, fell into a pit in the sewer, and drowned!"

Ye Di came online at this moment, quite angry.

Slay Shadow Rats, everything went very smoothly, he even obtained quite a few experience rewards.

As a result, after finishing off the Shadow Rats, he was careless, slipped, and fell directly into a pool of Water, drowning.

The Water in the sewer, the smell is not pleasant.

Even now, he still feels a bit nauseous.

Fortunately, the game has blurred sensory processing for death and the feeling of suffocation, otherwise he would have truly experienced death once.

"The game is so detailed, it can even drown you in a sewer?"

"Thief realistic, this game even created a set of characters for the characters in the game!"

"Not just one set!"

"Shills, all shills, I don't believe there is such a game."

"Tomorrow another batch of players will obtain closed beta qualifications, you will know once you enter the game, this game absolutely exceeds your imagination!"

In the group, there was discussion again.

Due to the group owner's deliberate guidance, this group has almost become a game group for Twilight of the Gods.

As for Improper Beast Tamer, what normal person still plays that?

"Manager, can you change the game settings, 48 hours offline for death is too long!" Ye Di tagged the Manager at this time.

"Only in this way can players value their own lives." Lin Chao replied.

Of course, this was just his reply.

As for the specific reason, Lin Chao guessed.

These people die in the game and then resurrect; even with the Administrator Talent, it requires paying some price to resurrect them again.

……

In the room, Shengtian Banzi was transcribing a series of strange symbols on paper.

After writing two pages, he made a phone call.

"Professor Zhang, I have some small discoveries here, it is a language, you are an expert in language, can you help me translate the meaning of these languages?

By the way, I have marked the meaning of some of the characters."

Hanging up the phone, Shengtian Banzi stood up and made another phone call.

"Brother Li, can you do me a favor, can you help me check this game company?"

Hanging up the phone again, Shengtian Banzi looked at the bustling traffic outside the window.

He suddenly thought of the Warrior training manual in the game.

"The most powerful thing for a Warrior is the physique.

And the training of a Warrior is to train the Warrior Heart."

He began to practice according to the game's training method.

It's just that the feeling of the body heating up did not appear.

After practicing for several dozen minutes, he gained nothing.

Shengtian Banzi was a bit disappointed: "What is wrong with me? It is just a game after all, how could the cultivation techniques inside be real?"

Shengtian Banzi gave a bitter smile.

He felt as if he were like those young children practicing martial arts while watching television.

And at this moment, the phone rang again.

"Ah? There is no such game company?"

"What about the Special Zone, is there a record of this game company?"

"None either?"

"What about the domain name? Can't find it?"

"It's fine, small matter, thank you Brother Li, sorry for the trouble, bothering you in the middle of the night, next time I will treat you to hairy crabs."

Hanging up the phone, Shengtian Banzi sat in front of the window, his eyes deep.

"Manager... who exactly is he?"

"This game... behind it, what exactly is there?"

He had actually secretly checked the Manager's account.

But the result he got was the same as the result Brother Li gave him just now, there was nothing.

This is very suspicious.

"Alright, no matter what, right now it is just a game!"

Shengtian Banzi suppressed his pounding heart.

Thanks to Starry Sky Haohan viand for the tip!
