Chapter 2 002 In Order to Prevent Players From Becoming Addicted, Game Manufacturers Choose Not to Allow Players to Log Off the Line. This Makes Sense, Right?
Chapter 2 002. In order to prevent players from becoming addicted, game manufacturers choose not to let players go offline. It makes sense, right?
The Blue Star has long since perished, and it is precisely because of the ‘Yangwu Movement’ of the Galexi Civilization that players have the opportunity to leave the surface, go to the Star Abyss, and officially start the legendary journey of cosmic adventure.
However, now, the dead and destroyed civilization creations were placed in front of him alive.
He observed carefully that the white corpse on the ground was not the common C3-'Luca' type cosmic race. As a cosmic race, the latter had no physical defects, no freckles on the face, small pores, and generally good looks.
However, the white corpse in front of him, ‘Lanny Johns’, had a pockmarked face, and his skin turned red after being exposed to the sun for a while.
Very sharp contrast.
Li Ozi turned his head and scanned around. The frost-coated branch of the Global Development Bank on the wall and the tightly closed back door of the bank counter all indicated that he was in the original version.
The version where Azure Star hasn’t exploded yet.
"This is not the human race from the universe. It is the race from the Blue Star."
Liz felt a headache. Even as a senior player, he was confused when faced with this situation.
His physical fitness is extremely weak, and he is at the level of a mere mortal - this is definitely not his top [Star Master] account that ranks No. 96 in the entire server!
This wasn't some prank, it must have been a major accident.
He thought of many possibilities, such as a bug in the game, or a sudden large-scale rollback of the game, or even more likely, the network fluctuation just now, which caused him to load the wrong version of the game and enter stand-alone mode.
But to be honest, for an old game like "Star Abyss" that has been in operation for more than ten years and has a photon smart computer, the above conjecture cannot be said to be impossible, at least it is ridiculous.
If in the future, the photonic brain responsible for handling all political affairs can go wrong - what else can go right?
Liz calmed down. He estimated that he must have logged in to the wrong account. Perhaps the network had fluctuated just now, causing him to create a new account. But no matter what, he had to activate the game system first, log off quickly and contact the official for repair.
"Players appear as 'descendants' in the game. If they want to activate the game system, they must first understand the identity, appearance, and interpersonal relationships of their 'descendants'."
The simplest way is to find identification and a mirror, and then chat with someone to complete the arrival.
Liz was very familiar with this, and he immediately began to search through the pockets of his security uniform, but just as he lowered his head to find a bunch of keys, a shuddering feeling suddenly rose behind him.
"dangerous!"
Years of fighting games made him react immediately. He instantly shrank up and hid under a counter. Only then did he realize that he seemed to be in an old-era bank.
Click, click...
Not far away, there was the sound of moving. The steps were very light, as if stepping on the water, making a crisp sound. Liz held her breath, held the baton tightly in her hand, and tried her best not to make any sound.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and it seemed like something was heading towards the bar. Liz's heart was beating wildly, and the voice was so close, as if it was just outside the bar, separated by a wall.
Snapped.
Suddenly his footsteps stopped, and Li Zi's heart seemed to have stopped for a moment. His exposed skin was visibly covered with a layer of mist. It was cold and biting, and at the same time, he could faintly feel some kind of sight. Trying to peek into yourself.
"Spirit demon!"
Liz immediately reacted. It had been so long since version 2.0 that he almost forgot that the Blue Star was not a purely technological planet. It had spiritual creatures and extraordinary systems.
"I should have realized earlier...the white man had no external injuries, but still died suddenly. He was very similar to the spirit demon's handiwork."
The spirit monster is a very basic spirit monster. It is immune to physical damage, can penetrate walls, see through walls, and can see through stealth - for players who have just entered the game, it can be called a monster to scare away.
For a senior player and anchor like Liz, even if the system is not activated, he does not know what his current physical attributes are, but even if he has nothing in his hands, he still knows how to deal with the spirit demon.
The water mist on the body surface gradually cooled and solidified, and his body temperature was gradually lowering. Humans on the Blue Star have a weak constitution. Once the body temperature falls below 30 degrees, any impact will cause death.
let's move!
Li Zi thought for a moment and recalled the method of expelling spirit monsters.
He lowered his head and bit his right index finger hard, blood gushed out from the wound, and the real pain made Liz wake up immediately - fortunately, he never turned off pain feedback.
Without saying a word, he opened his clothes and quickly drew a spiral cross symbol on his heart with blood.
However, even so, the physical reaction of a mortal was too slow. His body was immediately invaded by an invisible shadow, and then occupied it. The blood in his body quickly became viscous, his breathing was sluggish, and he was unable to move.
[It’s the spirit demon seizing the body—it’s really troublesome! It will take a while for the mortal body to get used to it. 】
Fortunately, his method is quite standard, activating the exclusive runes from [Ghost Lord] is a great deterrent to low-level spirit monsters.
After the runes were completed, he clearly felt that the spirit demon was hesitant. The coldness and moisture on his body gradually subsided, and finally retreated and disappeared.
Can't move.
The effect of this rune is to pretend to be occupied by a more terrifying spirit in order to expel the other party. During the whole exorcism process, there can be no movement, so that the spirit demon is convinced that he is the existence of the [Ghost Lord].
This method of fighting poison with poison and magic bombardment is not completely without side effects.
Liz tensed his nerves and relied on the control ability he had developed over the years to accurately control the movement of his muscles.
The cold breath wrapped around his body. If the spirit demon was not expelled quickly, he would die of hypothermia sooner or later.
But he couldn't move and shiver to warm his body, because if he moved a little, the spirit demon would see through it and occupy it again.
Gradually, his body temperature slowly rose, and the spirit body left his body and left outside.
Snap, Snap...
The footsteps faded away, Liz breathed a sigh of relief, quickly bandaged the wound, closed his eyes, and muttered:
"1001, 1002, 1003..."
On average, a person says 4 words per second. On the contrary, counting four numbers at a time can basically ensure the accuracy of timing.
"1025!"
After 25 seconds, Liz opened his eyes immediately, his body recovered, and rushed out of the counter. After a few seconds, he turned his head quickly, and immediately saw a bright layer of white frost on the counter in his peripheral vision.
The time is up.
His current race is just an ordinary blue star human, and he does not have spirituality and extraordinary abilities at all. This kind of blood-made rune can only scare a spirit monster for 25 seconds.
If it runs away, it means that the judgment is successful and he is safe. If it does not run away, 25 seconds is enough for Liz to adjust his state and clean up the wounds on his body.
This is also enough for him to run away.
To escape from the spirit, you must never go to a high place. Once you are possessed by the other party, the spirit monster will control your body and jump directly off the building. Only by running down and relying on the complex and thick walls to gradually reduce the opponent's spiritual power, can there be a chance to escape.
Liz took out the keys he had just searched and tried them one by one. He quickly opened the door of the basement, closed it with his backhand, and quickly went underground. He was agile and slid down the handrail of the stairs, climbed over the fence, and landed calmly from a height of more than three meters. He rolled on the spot to release the force, and then bounced out with his hands on the ground.
The spirit monster was shocked by his runes and was far away from him. Under Liz's superb parkour skills, the distance was immediately pulled far away.
Liz hid behind the fire cabinet deep in the basement. Just now, he hurriedly glanced at the topographic map of the basement. Years of game experience made him particularly sensitive to this kind of map, and he immediately remembered it by heart. If the spirit monster could run here, he could completely escape through the safe next to it.
However, he escaped three floors down. The spirit monsters in the novice village should not be able to pass through such a deep place.
As expected, he stayed here for a while, and the spirit monster in the corridor was confused by him. After a few weeks, it gave up chasing.
Spirit monsters have no intelligence, and they will leave quickly after hunting fails. To prevent human extraordinary people from chasing them.
Snap, snap...
The sound of footsteps on the water faded away, and Liz calmed down his breath. He checked his pocket and found his ID card. Next, he only needed to find a mirror and chat with a living NPC to activate the complete game system.
It doesn't matter if you can't find a living person now. Players are born randomly, and the game system has considered this aspect very well. As long as two of the conditions are met, most of the game system can be unlocked.
Identity proof-unlock system toolbar
Appearance-unlock personal panel
Other people's evaluation-unlock player function bar
The best birth condition is of course in a civilized city, but it is relatively inconvenient to fight monsters and upgrade and form a group adventure.
Therefore, most players will choose to unlock the system relatively late, and they must also be born in an environment close to the wild, suitable for fighting outside the city. For example, villages, mercenary groups, wanderers gathering places, military camps, etc.
Liz didn't know whether his origin was good or bad, but since he was in a bank and wearing a security uniform, he was probably born in a rural area.
Spirit monsters would not invade big cities, where there are a lot of people and extraordinary people gather. Spirit monsters are not stupid and will not make themselves uncomfortable.
"What's this? It takes so long to complete a task that usually takes less than 15 seconds."
Liz muttered and returned to the surface. He used the key to open the door of the counter, turned the valve, found the bathroom, cleaned the wound and bandaged it with a cloth strip, then looked up in the mirror, held the ID card in front of him, and carefully looked at his appearance of "coming".
His facial features are regular and angular, and his face looks like a yellow man, but his body shape and skin color are a sickly milky white - this is caused by long-term lack of sunlight.
"Frost-plated man." Liz identified: "The style and material of the security uniform can be inferred that this is at least the dress during the internal beta version period."
This body is well-proportioned, about 185 cm tall, and weighs about 80 kg. It is a little short of being strong, but not thin either - this makes Liz feel more relieved. In "Star Abyss", it is better to be fatter than thin. On the one hand, the development level of each planet is different, and the fat body will be regarded as "nobles" by those backward civilizations and more respected.
On the other hand, fat people store more energy in their bodies, are more resistant to hunger, and the stored fat is more durable.
The best body shape is naturally a strong man's body with "fat and muscles", which can withstand beatings. For players who don't have much equipment in the early stage, a better body can be a great advantage.
After escaping the attack of the spirit demon, the body temperature rose, and the originally solidified white frost melted into water, which wetted the black hair and made it stick to the head obediently. The gray eyes were as bright as steel, and the facial features were majestic. He has a handsome face and a kind and sunny boy-next-door vibe.
It was obvious that the charm was not low, and Liz immediately fell in love with this body.
When he completely imprinted his appearance in his heart, a familiar light blue light curtain also appeared on his retina:

Li Zi didn't care about other values and information. His eyes stayed on the [Template] for more than ten seconds.
"Normal, neutral, NPC template?"
He was confused.
This, this is wrong?
The player is obviously a [Adventurer] template!
He hurriedly opened the system toolbar. There should have been toolbar items such as [Game Settings], [Plug-ins], [Mailbox], [Video], [Control], [Graphics Card Optimization], and [Exit], but now there were only There is only one lonely [mailbox] left.
"What the hell?" Li Zi was confused: "Where am I [offline]? How can I quit the game?"
