Chapter 109: A Newbie Joins the Fray!
In reality.
Inside a bedroom of an old-style apartment, a young man was rubbing a newly acquired login device.
"So this is the login device!"
The young man’s name is Zhou Li, he is a normal high school student.
He has average grades and does not plan to go to college.
After graduation, he found a part-time job, but he quit after working for just one month.
He worked to save money to buy The Sealed Land’s login device.
It was not just to keep up with the times and experience the popular futuristic game The Sealed Land.
He was in the game to make money!
According to a friend, there are always players in the game who specialize in collecting currency.
And one copper coin is priced at 67 money in the current version’s buyback rate.
This number fluctuates every period of time, it is said that right after an update, it even skyrocketed to a high price of 1:276!
Now, the prices have started to go down, but some people are still making money.
If you can earn 10 copper coins a day, making over ten thousand in a month will be easy.
His friend sells currency in the game and is said to be making over fifty thousand a month now!
Zhou Li had heard of The Sealed Land’s reputation long ago and he really wanted to try this game that is said to be revolutionary.
However, there are still many loans to repay at home, and his parents are so busy that they have no time to come home every day.
Zhou Li thought about getting a job to help lighten the burden on his family.
But now, it seems like The Sealed Land is the answer if he wants to make money quickly.
Zhou Li put on the equipment and then lightly pressed the start button on the right side.
The next moment, his consciousness was disconnected from his body.
。。。
And when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the middle of a starry sea, "Is this a holographic game?"
With a single thought, Zhou Li saw many pieces of information flashing before his eyes.
There was an agreement that needed to be agreed upon by ticking a box, Zhou Li didn’t think much and quickly jumped to the character creation interface.
After some thought, he created a young man with delicate features, slightly higher flexibility in his body.
He didn’t need exaggerated muscles, just a little definition.
For the height, he followed the template of the real world, generally choosing lean and tall characters, supposedly more agile this way.
Zhou Li also looked at many character design posts, although he didn’t fully understand, he also made a decent one.
After finishing designing the character, it was time to enter the ID.
"My username is… Star Moon."
[This username is already taken.]
"How about Star Moon123?"
[This username is already taken.]
"What about Star Moon123453789?"
[This username is already taken.]
"How about Star Moon46427?"
[This username is already taken.]
"Well, people make up random usernames too, right?"
"Is that called Mountain Ghost?"
[ID registration successful]
[Profile created successfully]
[Wishing you a pleasant game]
"No, I was just making it up, wait…"
Before Zhou Li could say anything else, his consciousness had already traveled like a speck of light through endless starry skies and landed on one of the planets!
。。。
Zhou Li slowly opened his eyes, only to see a huge circular altar before him.
Many other players like him were resurrecting on the altar, all busy wiping away things from their bodies.
"Yes, there really are goods!"
"The items bought from this game warehouse are worth it!"
"Oops, buddy can you uncover for me to see?"
"Sure, take a look."
"Oh… why is it all pixelated?"
"Dude, without the game warehouse module, you can’t see anything. Only those with the same module can see."
"Darn, can’t even see?"
Everyone felt a bit disappointed as they spoke.
The place they were now was created by players themselves, called Rebirth Point.
But it’s not the only Rebirth Point.
Players will respawn here by default, but if it’s crowded, they will be randomly respawned nearby.
If the nearby area is also full, they will be respawned even further away.
The furthest they could respawn is near the border.
Luckily, there weren’t many new players coming online at this time, only a few hundred every minute, so Zhou Li wasn’t pushed outside.
Just then, an old player in armor walked over.
"Don’t all stay at the Rebirth Point, it delays other players respawning and logging into the game. If you don’t know what to do, come find me. I have a newbie team over here."
"It includes the Digging Team, the Combat Team, and the Production Team."
"No charge to get on the team, but payment is required afterwards. The Combat Team members are responsible for their actions if they don’t follow orders and die."
Next to the respawn point, there were many players claiming to help new players get up to speed quickly.
But actually, they were just looking for free labor.
Of course, it’s not just free labor; these newbies who join the team also have to give them money afterwards.
How is this different from paying to work?
Purely taking advantage of newbies.
Zhou Li had no intention of joining these groups; he had already read the post in advance, and knew that these people were a bunch of blood-sucking scammers!
Zhou Li quickly left Rebirth Point and saw countless buildings inside the city, all of which were built by players themselves.
It was truly imaginative and creatively unique.
Zhou Li looked at these buildings and then turned to look at the high walls in the distance, "Wow, these were all built by players themselves?"
"Unbelievable."
"Even though the online posts are everywhere, I still want to say, this game is so realistic, it’s almost indistinguishable from reality."
Zhou Li sighed to himself, but didn’t see the legendary Tower of Seals.
Because the starting point is far from the Tower of Seals, in the past, you could barely see it from a distance.
But now, with so many player houses, you can’t see anything at all.
It’s okay though, there are four main roads in the city, so as long as you walk along them, you’ll definitely find the Tower of Seals.
However…
It seems pointless for him to enter the Tower of Seals now.
He doesn’t have weapons or equipment, so even if he’s lucky enough to see a small monster on the first floor, he wouldn’t be able to defeat it.
Furthermore, the first layer has been cleared by players.
Almost all players are running after the monsters.
It’s really hard to find a few monsters now.
Some players want to stay at a certain spot to kill monsters and occupy these resource points.
Unfortunately, the monsters respawn randomly and do not have fixed locations.
This directly eliminates the possibility of players monopolizing the monsters.
Although the value of copper coins is not high now, there are still many players competing for them.
Therefore, the purchasing price of copper coins has never dropped below 1:50.
As a new player, Zhou Li was feeling a bit lost for a moment, "So what should I do now?"
"By the way, it seems like there is a important person who said that new players can go directly to various schools to pick up tasks at the beginning, and those tasks are all collecting tasks, very easy to do."
"Completing tasks can earn you clothes, Magic Potion recipes, and even weapons and tools requested by the schools."
Zhou Li swiped out of the system interface and directly entered the forum to look through the post he had saved, "The player who reaches the first level the fastest…"
"He only used 51 hours in the game, isn’t that amazing?"
