Chapter 229
"Hey Hey hey?"
"You can hear me, stop howling..."
After putting on his headphones and connecting to the voice channel, Guo Mo asked Pan Yang on the other end: "Have you started the live broadcast?"
"It's open, what about you?"
"I haven't opened it yet. Let me change the title of the anchor room first..."
Guo Mo and Pan Yang are old friends. They first met in the game "Star Emperor", and later they broadcast "God's Grace Continent" together, and their friendship is irreversible.
This time, for the second test of "Cultivation Fantasy", many anchors were invited to participate. Because they were familiar with each other, they simply formed a team with Lian Mai.
After changing the title of the live broadcast room to ["Cultivation Fantasy" Second Test and Cultivating Immortality with Lao Pan], Guo Mo also started the live broadcast.
The two of them had already downloaded the client of "Cultivation Fantasy".
Just log in to your Tianba account and enter the test activation code to enter the game and experience this Xianxia MMO game first.
It is worth mentioning that.
In the second beta stage of the game, there is only one "test-only" server available, and there are only five open sects.
"What are you going to play?"
"I choose Lingdan Sect and play alchemy, where are you?"
"Then I'll play the Array Mage..."
Pan Yang chose the Alchemist, and Guo Mo thought about it and felt that it would be better for him to play the Array Master, so that both of them could assist each other.
When playing this kind of MMO game with good friends, it is most taboo for everyone to choose the same profession, which will lead to a waste of resources and overlapping professions.
If you can choose different professions, you must choose different ones. Otherwise, if everyone chooses the same profession, wouldn't playing dungeons be numb?
"Fortunately, this game does not have priest or wet nurse professions, otherwise I would have to play priest!" Guo Mo joked.
The sects in "Cultivation Fantasy" are not the traditional iron triangle of war and pastoral law. The role of the priest is evenly distributed among each sect.
So you can play in any sect, and every sect has a certain role as a priest. Everyone is a priest.

【Various Martin】
After giving himself a nickname, Guo Mo went to the face-making page again and made a picture of Hu Meizi's adult female character, and then entered the game.
The barrage kept criticizing the pervert, asking why he didn't create a male character.
In response to this, Guo Mo couldn't help complaining: "No, if you want to pursue a sense of immersion when playing a stand-alone game, it's okay to play a male character. Playing this kind of MMO game, you still let me face a man's butt all day long? ?”
Stop it!
In MMO games, because the characters basically have their butts facing the player, it doesn’t matter whether the face looks good or not, but the back must be charming.
Guo Mo knows this well, so he decisively created an adult female character, focusing on an eye-catching one.
He really couldn't stand staring at a male character's butt all day long while playing this kind of MMO game.
"You're right!"
Pan Yang supported Guo Mo, saying that he had also pinched a grown woman. Not to mention the buttocks, the key is that the legs are very long, and the background is very pleasing to the eye.
It is worth mentioning that in the game "Cultivation Fantasy", players can not only pinch the human race, but also many non-human races.
For example, Guo Mo's character is a fox girl with a long tail and fluffy ears...
"Is Novice Village so small?"
After entering the game, what comes into view is the game's novice village, which is also the place where each player is born.
This is a barren mountain with extremely lush trees. At the end of a winding path, stands a Taoist temple full of ancient charm.
In front of the Taoist temple stood an old man with white hair and beard, with a flashing red exclamation mark on his head, which meant that the old man had tasks to give out to the players.
Guo Mo and Pan Yang followed the footsteps of other players and came to the old Taoist priest to take the main task: go down the mountain!
The old Taoist priest tells the player that you are an orphan who was rescued by him. Your family has been wiped out. Now you are old enough and have excellent bones. You don't have to stay in the mountains with him as a bad old man.
"A novice mission!"
Guo Mo and Pan Yang received the main task of searching for the Immortal Sect, and then sighed: "It's not just running errands again, is it?"
In this type of MMO game, the tasks are all kinds of running errands and killing monsters, which is very annoying.
Guo Mo and Pan Yang are both old players and are naturally familiar with the ways here. So after they received the mission, they both felt that it would be a series of running maps to defeat monsters.
But the result was unexpected.
After leaving the barren mountains and entering a map called Wulin Town, the main mission did not ask players to run around and fight monsters. Instead, they were given an instruction to "stay where you are."
Players can move around Wulin Town without clear mission instructions, and the only requirement is that they are not allowed to leave Wulin Town.
After the disciples of the seven immortal sects arrive in Wulin Town and start testing their spiritual roots, players can go to the sect of their choice.
During this period, the main mission did not require players to get to know any blacksmith, tailor, or village chief, nor did they require players to kill any wild wolves, wild boars, etc.
"It's quite easy..."
Guo Mo joked: "It's the first time I play an MMO game like this that doesn't require any errands or maps. I actually feel a little uncomfortable."
"Me too."
Pan Yang deeply agreed.
It’s so rare to play an MMO without having to do any legwork! It was the first time for the two of them to experience this kind of novice mission, and they both had great expectations for the subsequent missions of "Cultivation Fantasy".
Saving trouble in the early stage won't paralyze everyone, right? Maybe there will be some errands on the map that will appear later?
"You really don't need to run errands?"
After entering their respective sects, the first stage of the main mission is considered completed. The second stage is just one sentence: upgrade your cultivation to the early stage of Qi training and be promoted to a formal disciple!
What a concise mission statement.
This was something Guo Mo couldn't handle. It was his first time to experience such a simple novice task, and he was really at a loss.
The player first joins the sect as a handyman disciple. If he wants to be promoted to a formal disciple, he needs to change from a mortal to a practitioner and upgrade his cultivation to the Qi training stage.
Once you practice qi, you will become an extraordinary person!
Players only receive the main mission, allowing them to break through to the early stage of Qi training, but how to break through, how to practice and improve their strength, all need to be explored by themselves.
The barrage was also giving Guo Mo ideas.
"Go to the mission hall to receive the handyman mission, and after receiving the spirit stone reward, you can speed up your cultivation and improve your cultivation level."
"It's impossible to run errands. It's impossible to run errands in this life. I practice in seclusion and won't leave seclusion until the Qi training period..."
"Let's go for a walk in the wild. What if we encounter that kind of mythical beast that is on the verge of death and soars into the sky?"
"It's so funny! This is not an online game novel. How can there be so many adventures for you?"
All the ideas suggested by the pop-up are feasible.
In the end, Guo Mo thought about it and decided to go to the mission hall to receive the exclusive mission for the handyman disciples and get some spiritual stone rewards.
In addition to being used as currency to purchase things, spiritual stones can also be used to assist in cultivation and improve the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy.
This is good stuff!
With enough spirit stones, even a pig can embark on the path of cultivating immortality and become a fairy pig.
Players are definitely better than pigs, so with the help of spiritual stones, breaking through the Qi training period should be a trivial matter.
The chore tasks are fairly simple.
Weeding and watering spiritual plants, cleaning, carrying various martial arts items, etc. As a handyman disciple, Guo Mo couldn't get the task of killing monsters even if he wanted to.
no way!
The world of cultivation is very cruel. The strength of the handyman disciples is low. How can they be qualified to go out and slay demons?
Just carry water and water it honestly!
Although they are in different sects, except for the different maps and buildings, the other processes are basically the same.
So Guo Mo took over the chore task. While he was carrying water for watering, Pan Yang was not doing much better and was cleaning!
After completing one round of the handyman task and receiving a spirit stone reward, the player can speed up his training, advance to the early stage of Qi training, and participate in the official disciple assessment.
The assessment task is very simple. Players need to defeat a puppet in the early stage of Qi training head-on. If they successfully defeat it, they will be promoted to a formal disciple. If they fail, they will have to take a second make-up exam.
Guo Mo was lucky enough to successfully pass the assessment for the first time and was promoted from a handyman disciple to a formal disciple.
After promotion, most of the game's features are unlocked.
Similarly, the task prompts for the next stage are still very concise, including advancing to the middle stage of Qi training, setting up formations/refining alchemy for the first time, etc.
"It's okay, you can fight monsters now."
Guo Mo called Pan Yang, and the two came to the wild through the teleportation array, formed a team and began to kill various monsters to increase their experience and cultivation.
Early leveling is very boring.
Especially for games like "Cultivation Fantasy", it is really difficult to play without reading the guide, and you can only grind monsters to increase the level.
"Oh, did you reveal the secret book?"
Guo Mo had better luck. After killing a monster wolf in the early stage of Qi training, he unexpectedly discovered a skill book with a very low drop rate.
Unfortunately, this cheat book can only increase the speed, but cannot be used to improve the attack power and monster spawning efficiency, which is really useless.
"It would be nice to have it."
Compared to Guo Mo's disgust, Pan Yang's eyes were red. He had killed so many monsters, why didn't any of his skill books explode?
This is not fair!
The crappy game "Cultivation Fantasy" is purely aimed at him. The drop rate of monsters is really touching.
On the one hand, the two of them farmed monsters to accumulate experience, and on the other hand, they also wanted to get some materials needed for alchemy and formation.
The result is good...
The two of them spent a long time farming monsters and gained a lot of experience, but not many of the materials they wanted appeared.
"Is there something wrong with the item drop rate?"
Pan Yang was almost out of defense, and it felt too bad to feel like he had been hunting wild monsters for a long time without finding anything.
He has never played such an expensive MMO game. Isn't it just a few materials that novices need? Is the drop rate necessary to be so low?
"Don't worry, I took a look..."
Compared to Pan Yang who broke through the defense, Guo Mo seemed to have found the answer after checking the game description document.
"The item drop rate in this game, whether in the wild or in dungeons, is all linked to a system called merit!"
"The higher the merit, the greater the probability of dropping items, and the probability of dropping high-end or rare loot will also increase. On the contrary, the lower the merit, the less the harvest will be dropped..."
"Merit?"
It seems that he did not expect that the item drops in this game are not fixed. Pan Yang was a little surprised and said: "How to get this thing?"
"It's not clearly written on it. It just says that doing good deeds, slaying demons, eliminating karma and other game behaviors can obtain heavenly merits."
Don't say Pan Yang doesn't understand.
Even Guo Mo took a look at the game documentation and his mind was filled with questions.
Even if the description of heavenly merit and virtue is so mysterious, why is the method of obtaining it so mysterious?
Do good deeds and receive merit?
No...how to do good things in the game? And what exactly is the standard for doing good deeds? What level of good deeds can we expect to receive merit rewards?
Does helping an old lady cross the road count?
