Chapter 4: Mourning for Brother Watermelon!
After a conversation, the players have currently summarized several game mechanics!
Firstly, NPCs have high wisdom, with some players even suspecting that these NPCs are played by real people!
The NPC can talk and interact normally with players, and can answer all the questions players ask.
He can even understand the meaning of the game, but believes that their world is not a game world.
Secondly, players have a special information bar that NPCs cannot see.
In this information bar, players can see a total of four pieces of information.
The first piece of information is soul lifespan, where each player initially has a soul lifespan of 10 years, but its current use is unclear.
The second piece of information is the backpack, where players can store items, but the weight of the items will be added to the player.
In other words, if a player carries too many items in the backpack, they will be too heavy to move!
The third piece of information is the map, where players can only see the map of the paths they have walked.
Some players have already spent time walking around the map!
Yes, there is an invisible air wall in the forest. The players walked around it and found out that they were inside a circle on the map!
And the center of this circle is the Tower of Seals!
The fourth piece of information is the internet.
Players can browse websites, watch videos, log in to chat apps, chat with people outside the game, and even visit the game's official website in the game!
Nowadays, many players are visiting the game's official website.
And on the official website, they first learned the name of this game!
Yes, they have been playing the game without knowing its name until now!
"The Sealed Land 0.1"
The information on the game's official website is limited, it only has a reservation function and a forum.
The rest of the encyclopedias are all empty, indicating that players may need to upload relevant data to fill them.
Fang Ze is also browsing the game's official website, "In the game, we can't see health bars or experience bars, it seems like this game's leveling system is different from traditional online games."
"According to what the Gravekeeper said, upgrading in the game means devouring the souls of other creatures."
"The only soul-related information we have is our soul lifespan."
Fly was browsing a forum when he suddenly noticed a new post.
Yes, amidst the empty game forum, a new post suddenly appeared.
This instantly caught the attention of most players!
The game had just started less than half a day ago, and most players were still clueless.
Even if they wanted to post strategy guides, they would have to wait until they understood most of the game's mechanics.
Of course, if the game is being praised or it's a post someone casually made, then it's a different story.
Fang Ze also clicked on this post, which was posted by a person with the ID I love Watermelon.
The post had no title, just a few hastily written lines.
Fang Ze looked down and was shocked, "Oh no!"
"Oh no!"
"Oh no!"
"Brother Watermelon is so cool!"
"Wow, what a tough guy!"
"Let's have a minute of silence for Brother Watermelon."
Other players who saw the post also exclaimed "Oh no!" just like Fang Ze!
So what did this post actually say?
Actually, the content is very simple, it's just that a guy named Watermelon committed suicide!
Yes!
Literally, he just used a rock to smash himself to death to test the game mechanics!
It clearly stated in the post that the pain sensation in the game accounts for 50%!
And when the pain becomes unbearable for the player, they will be forcefully disconnected from the character, which means being disconnected from the game.
But that doesn't mean you're dead!
You might just pass out from the pain!
During the time when he was in pain and fainted, the player couldn't log back into the game.
He couldn't even create a new account!
This means that one player can only have one account!
After Brother Watermelon managed to endure the intense pain and logged back into the game, he picked up a stone and healed himself again!
This time, he died for good.
But he quickly came back to life!
However, his soul's remaining years decreased by 1, leaving him with only 9 years.
Afterwards, in order to further test the game's mechanics, Brother Watermelon committed suicide nine times in a row, completely depleting his soul's remaining years!
And then...
He was forced to log out of the game.
The good news is the account is still there.
The bad news is he has to wait for 24 hours in the real world before he can log in again!
Currently, Brother Watermelon is going crazy outside the forum, and players in the game are interacting with him passionately.
This Brother Watermelon is truly a fierce player!
On the first day of the server opening, he used up the Resurrection Coin, and turned into a big grudge outside the game waiting in agony for 24 hours.
Fang Ze also couldn't help but smile when he saw this, thinking, "It seems that the soul lifespan is the Resurrection Coin in the game, but it's still unknown if it has other uses."
Fly was comforting Brother Watermelon in the forum, saying, "Don't worry, I will experience the content you can't experience for you!"
Brother Watermelon was so angry that he coughed up three liters of blood.
Not being able to go online for 24 hours after the game starts is even more frustrating than being killed!
Nowadays, Brother Watermelon is posting a lot in the comments section.
Most of the posts are asking for Dad Game Designer, saying things like "I was wrong, I won't commit suicide again, spare me from this death penalty, etc."
Unfortunately, the game officials did not pay attention to him.
Or perhaps, the Dad Game Designer he mentioned is probably sleeping now.
Returning to their thoughts, several players have already entered the Tower of Seals.
Upon seeing this, Fly also called out, "Brother Light, someone has already entered, let's go and take a look. We can't let them take all the benefits!"
Fang Ze thought for a moment, "Alright."
The two of them agreed and entered the Tower of Seals one after another.
Now the gates of the Tower of Seals are wide open, and according to the Gravekeeper, they can come and go into the Tower of Seals as they please.
But there are many dangers in the Tower of Seals, and if a player accidentally dies, they will be responsible for the consequences.
After explaining these things, the Gravekeeper disappeared, saying that players cannot summon him under normal circumstances.
Unless he chooses to appear, no one can find him.
This made many players who wanted to steal the Gravekeeper's clothes very disappointed.
After all, the clothes they wore were rough hemp clothes, not very comfortable but mainly ugly!
In contrast, the Gravekeeper wore an exquisite black robe, giving off a feeling of an ancient Black Magic master.
It can be said that when the Gravekeeper appeared, those players were already thinking about how to steal his clothes!
One of them is Fly, and Fly said, "What if I had knocked out the Gravekeeper with a hit back then? Would I be wearing the top fashion outfit by now?"
Fang Ze thought it was a bit funny.
"I'm not sure about anything else, but if you knocked out the Gravekeeper back then, Brother Watermelon wouldn't be the first one to sacrifice himself for the players."
