Chapter 1 Hengshan Territory, Wanjian Sect

"Mr. Chen, it's bad. A player died in the game room."

"What happened?"

"It was Zhou Xuan, the player we invited." The secretary quickly explained the situation. "In the third closed beta test of "Donghuang Dajie", a setting was added that players with mental illness were not allowed to enter the game, but I don't know what went wrong. Instead of kicking Zhou Xuan out of the game room, he became brain dead."

Brain dead?

Mr. Chen slumped down in his chair.

If the player dies, can this game still be sold?

——

Donghuang Dajie, Hengshan Domain, Dayu Dynasty.

On the sky-breaking treasure ship with the flag of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect flying at a constant speed in one direction, a boy of about 18 years old slowly opened his eyes in the assigned room, and his eyes went from hazy to clear.

Two internal tests have been conducted, and this is the third internal test, so Zhou Xuan was not surprised by the environment he was in at the moment.

"Attribute panel."

"Personal panel."

"Main menu."

"..."

I called it several times in my heart, but no sci-fi character panel appeared.

Zhou Xuan couldn't help but sigh, which was not surprising.

Before entering the game, the person in charge told them, the internal testers, that this test was different from the previous two tests, such as the AI's mental level, the difficulty of the dungeon, the experience of the cultivation moment, etc., which have been greatly optimized.

In addition, there are surprises. Of course, what this surprise is, the person in charge chose to keep it secret, saying that if you are lucky in the foundation-building period, you will naturally know, if you are unlucky, you may not know the end of the internal test.

In order to enhance the player's immersion, they made a bold decision and decided not to provide players with things like attribute panels.

Of course, you can still quit by silently saying "exit the game" in your heart. But Zhou Xuan will not quit when he is full when he just enters the game.

Moreover, the game warehouse function of the Myth Group is the best in the world, and you can lie down for two months of real time directly without worrying about physical problems.

Soon Zhou Xuan wandered around the Sky-breaking Treasure Ship, intending to chat with the NPCs to see if the AIs are more real.

The Dayu Dynasty is a mortal dynasty, which is under the rule of the Wanjian Sect. Every year, the Wanjian Sect sends several elders to various cities to recruit disciples for the Wanjian Sect.

Of course, in addition to the Dayu Dynasty, there are other dynasties. As one of the five sects in Hengshan Domain, the Wanjian Sect rules one-sixth of the land area in Hengshan Domain.

There are about a dozen mortal dynasties in this one-sixth area, so there are not only people from the Dayu Dynasty on the Sky-breaking Treasure Ship, but also people from other dynasties.

From the outside, the Sky-breaking Treasure Ship is only a thousand feet in size. But the mustard seed contains the Xumi, and the internal space is huge, enough to carry more than 100,000 people.

After a day of chatting with all kinds of people, Zhou Xuan was pleasantly surprised by the huge optimization and good experience of the AI ​​mind.

Now a hammer makes him lose his memory, and then when he wakes up and tells him that this is a real fantasy world, Zhou Xuan will believe it without a doubt.

After two days, Zhou Xuan also got familiar with some people in the Dayu Dynasty. When people from other dynasties heard that he was from the Dayu Dynasty, their attitude was not cold, but they were no longer enthusiastic.

The damn AI also knows how to be servile, stick together and discriminate by region, which makes Zhou Xuan very happy.

After the communication, he feels that the current AI mind is infinitely close to that of humans, which is a huge improvement for the game experience.

Those who can board the Sky-breaking Treasure Ship are all qualified for cultivation. As for their qualifications, they need to go to the Wanjian Sect for specific testing.

Three days later.

"We have arrived at Wanjian City."

A steady voice sounded like a breeze on the Sky-breaking Treasure Ship, and a group of expectant and nervous boys and girls were brought to the extremely wide deck by the person in charge.

Standing on the deck of the Sky-breaking Treasure Ship, when you look up, you will see a vague and towering mountain in the distance, piercing the sky.

That is Hengshan. No matter where you are in Hengshan Domain, you can see it as long as you look up. The name of Hengshan Domain comes from this, and it is also the center of this domain.

The Wanjian Sect is located to the east of Hengshan, occupying a huge and continuous mountain range, named Wanjian Mountain Range.

The first generation of the sect master shaped the ten highest peaks of the Wanjian Mountains into the shape of giant swords, established the sect master peak and nine peak masters, and jointly governed the Wanjian Sect.

As time passed, over 100,000 years, the population increased, and a giant city gradually formed under each peak.

Wanjian City is located under the sect master peak, and the annual newcomer qualification test is held in Wanjian City.

The young men and women who came to the Wanjian Sect for the first time were very excited. Before the treasure ship landed, they chattered and discussed one by one, which was both exciting and relieving tension.

After all, although they had the qualifications to practice, they did not know the qualification level, and the next moment was to decide their future destiny.

Zhou Xuan did not have any emotional fluctuations. After all, he chose the highest difficulty, and his qualifications were already determined, so he was very calm, but even so, he came in for a speed pass this time.

Because of the breakthrough in the research on human sleep dreams, the ratio of real time to game time in virtual games on the market is very high.

Among them, fantasy or fairy games generally have the longest game time, so the highest ratio is usually used, that is, one day in reality and ten years in game.

During the second test, the internal test lasted for two months. It took him one and a half months, which was four hundred and fifty years of game time, to achieve the highest level. This time he chose the highest difficulty. His innermost expectation was that the minimum was ten years or the maximum was fifty. During the year, I speed-passed "Donghuang Dajie".

As a virtual game UP owner, he is a well-known speed passer, which is why he was invited by Shinhwa Group for internal testing.

This time, he has already planned the training route to become the supreme leader, so he doesn't care about the question of training qualifications at all.

When the treasure ship landed in the huge square of Wanjian City, each person in charge led thousands of people to get off the ship. When everyone got off the empty treasure ship, the admissions elder stretched out his hand, and the thousand-foot-sized treasure ship appeared in the void. The drop rolled around twice, then transformed into a three-inch size and fell into his hand.

Seeing the boys and girls in the square looking at him with wide eyes, the admissions elder smiled slightly and said, "I, Kong Qitu..."

cough--

Before he finished speaking, a light cough came from his ears, interrupting Kong Qitu's attempt to recruit high-quality disciples for his Sword Peak.

He couldn't finish a sentence, which made Kong Qitu feel uncomfortable. In the end, he could only stare at the middle-aged man on the high platform in the square, and then turned into a stream of light and walked away with a groan.

The newcomers present thought that this was the admissions elder introducing himself to them, but they were not surprised. Some smart ones even bent down and bowed, shouting: "Best farewell to Elder Kong."

After the interlude, Zhou Xuan and the newcomers were taken to the wide square of Wanjian City by their respective leaders and lined up in a queue.

In front of them are the ten-meter-high cornerstones for testing qualifications.

"quiet."

A warm voice came from the high platform. The boys and girls who were whispering in the square fell silent in the blink of an eye and looked towards the high platform.

A middle-aged man stood in the center of the high platform. Seeing that everyone was quiet, he began to introduce himself, "I, Yu Chiwen, am the Lord of Wanjian City, and I am the general person in charge of recruiting new members of Wanjian Sect."

After scanning the tens of thousands of people in the audience, Yu Chiwen continued, "You are all able to come to Wanjian City because you have cultivation qualifications, but qualifications are also divided into four levels: heaven, earth, black and yellow. The stone pillar for measuring qualifications stands in front of you. There is a scale, and when it reaches a certain scale, it corresponds to a level.”

"With yellow-level qualifications, you can be an outer disciple of Wanjian Sect. You can choose a house in the outer disciple area of ​​Wanjian City to live and practice for free for one year."

"With Xuan-level qualifications, one can become an inner disciple of the Wanjian Sect. You can independently choose a peak and become a disciple within the peak."

"With earth-level qualifications, you can be a true disciple of the Wanjian Sect. You can independently choose a peak and become the true disciple of the peak."

"Heaven level qualifications..."

Speaking of this, Yu Chiwen's voice rose a little, with a little excitement, "With heaven-level qualifications, you can be specially recruited by Ziyang Holy Land to become a disciple of the Holy Land."

Purple Sun Holy Land? Disciple of the Holy Land?

The boys and girls in the audience were not shocked when they heard this, but were puzzled. They lived in various mortal dynasties in the Hengshan Domain, and they only knew one of the five sects in the Hengshan Domain. Many people even didn't know the five sects, but they were old enough. After the age of eighteen, it's just a matter of going to the government to check whether you have the qualifications to practice. Most of them are lucky.

But even if you don't know the Purple Sun Holy Land, you still know that the Holy Land is a good place. After all, only those with heaven-level qualifications can be specially recruited.

Only a few people in luxurious clothes showed excitement, obviously they had heard about the Purple Sun Holy Land.

Zhou Xuan yawned, but there was no mood swing.

According to the previous two internal tests, this qualification test should be about a person with heaven-level qualifications who was specially recruited to the Purple Sun Holy Land. As for whether he is a boy or a girl, it mainly depends on the gender of the player.

The player is male, and a person with that level of qualification must be a very beautiful girl with excellent temperament. The player is female. A person with that level of qualification must be an extremely handsome young man with outstanding temperament.

That's right, this character is for players to conquer. He is the player's default Taoist companion. Of course, whether he conquers it or not depends on the player himself.

"Detection begins."

Yuchiwen did not explain the Purple Sun Holy Land. In his opinion, among the tens of thousands of people present, there was probably no one with heaven-level qualifications.

As Yuchiwen finished speaking, the boys and girls lined up began to surge forward like water.

"Low grade yellow class."

"Low grade yellow class."

"High grade yellow grade..."

Everyone who comes to the stone pillar for measuring qualifications directly places their palms on it. After a while, the stone pillar for measuring qualifications will light up from bottom to top, and the grade qualifications are written next to the scales.

Even illiterate people can clearly understand their qualifications at a glance.

Most people have the qualifications of the lower-grade Huang class, and there are not many high-grade Huang class people. However, as time goes by, more people test their qualifications, and people with Xuan-class qualifications gradually appear.

When it was Zhou Xuan's turn, he stepped forward. Although he already knew his qualifications, he still stretched out his hand to touch the qualification test stone pillar.

A light shone in the middle of the stone pillar, and it was hard to climb up from the scale at the bottom, and finally settled on the yellow step.

"Low grade yellow class."

Seeing this, the person in charge glanced at Zhou Xuan casually and found that the young man in front of him did not feel disappointed when he learned that his qualifications were so poor. He was slightly surprised, but he didn't think much about it.

Zhou Xuan walked to the side, and there was a simple and honest fat man standing next to him, wearing the clothes of a deacon of the outer gate of Wanjian Sect. When he saw him coming, he said with a smile, "My surname is Li, you can call me deacon Li. Say something stupid. What’s your name, and which dynasty are you from?”

"Zhou Xuan, Dayu Dynasty."

Deacon Li nodded slightly, and then a blank jade token appeared out of thin air in his hand. Soon, the words "Zhou Xuan" were engraved on the jade token, and there were also two small words "Outer Sect" in the lower right corner.

"Stretch out your hand."

Zhou Xuan stretched out his hand, and Deacon Li scratched his fingertips, took out a drop of blood, and dripped it on the jade token, which disappeared into the jade token.

Handing the jade token to Zhou Xuan, Deacon Li said, "You need an identity certificate to walk in Wanjian City and even the other nine cities. This jade token is your certificate for living in the city in the future. You have just joined my Wanjian Sect. You can use this identity jade token to receive two sets of replacement clothes and a bottle of bone-forging pills every month for one year; you can also choose a house in the outer sect disciple area and live there for free for one year. If you have not entered the Qi Condensation Realm after one year, you have to move out."

"If there is still something you don't understand, there is a guide for new outer sect disciples. Go and take a look, and you will know everything."

Deacon Li pointed to the huge stone wall not far away, where many outer sect disciples who had just finished testing their qualifications had gathered.

"Thank you." Zhou Xuan bowed his hands, and when Deacon Li waved his hands, he stopped talking and left directly.

He came to the huge stone wall, glanced at it, and found that it was no different from the second test, so he stopped looking at it carefully.

In the first two tests, the game world time tested was 600 years, which is two months in the real world.

In the first test, he mainly explored, so he did not reach the highest level after the test.

In the second test, he spent 450 years in the game to reach the highest level, and then built a holy land alone, with the purpose of collecting all the laws in the world and preparing for the subsequent public test with the highest difficulty.

As a virtual game UP host and a speed pass player, he has a large number of fans. Every time he passes the game with the highest game difficulty, he will upload the character template for everyone to buy.

Players who buy the character template can experience his speed pass process in person from a first-person perspective. These cloud players in the virtual game era are the breadwinners of virtual game UP hosts like him.

After reaching the highest level in the second test, he spent the rest of his time looking for a technique that can be quickly mastered without any qualifications.

Hard work pays off. He found the technique he wanted in the Wanjian Sect in Hengshan Domain. In order to test it himself, he directly dispersed his power and started over. As a result, his enemy came to him halfway through his practice and crushed him to ashes, leaving him speechless.

In the game "Donghuang Dajie", the player automatically saves the game every time he advances a small realm. His enemy's realm is too high, and although he made rapid progress after dispersing his power and starting over, he was directly killed because his realm after the retraining was too low.

So in the last few days of the second test, he reopened the game and directly entered the Wanjian Sect to figure out how to quickly become a true disciple.

Because the technique was placed on the third floor of the Tibetan Dharma Pavilion, and the third floor requires true disciples to enter and browse.

"Heaven... Heavenly Stage..."

A trembling voice came from behind, interrupting Zhou Xuan's thinking.

He turned around and saw that the team testing qualifications had stopped, and everyone's eyes were all looking in one direction.

There, the scales of the stone pillars measuring qualifications were all filled with light from bottom to top.

Heavenly Grade Upper Grade.

As for who had the Heavenly Grade Upper Grade qualification, he couldn't see it at all because there were too many people.

In an instant, Yuchi Wen on the high platform disappeared, and when he reappeared, he appeared in front of a young girl, with a face full of shock and ecstasy.

"You...what's your name?"

"Lin Qinxue."
