Chapter 85 First Steps into the Martial World
Chapter 85 First Steps into the Martial World
Once inside the game, it took Chen Sui quite a while to familiarize herself with the basic game interface. Firstly, because she had never played this type of game before, and secondly, because the old MMO interface layout was complex and cumbersome, making her feel dizzy and lightheaded after looking at it for a while.
After I roughly understood what these modules were for, I saw the world chat being repeatedly refreshed.
"Auntie, your son is calling someone else 'husband' in the game again!"
One person posted this message, and many others copied and pasted it.
"My love, you are the only one. Today is my first time having sex with you, so this counts as my first love."
Dozens more frames flooded the screen.
"Baby, break up with him. I'll go to Qingzhui Ranch to gather Napier grass to support you /crying"
Similarly, people with different IDs are repeatedly sending the same message.
Are these robots? Why are they sending the same content repeatedly, and how can they type so fast?
Chen Sui watched for a while, feeling bored on one hand, but on the other hand, a strange feeling welled up in her heart, making her want to join the copying army.
But typing is too slow. Before I can even finish typing the previous message, the next one is already flooding the screen. Oh well, I'll just do some beginner tutorials and practice my skills instead.
Following the map's guidance, Chen Sui encountered beautiful women who were the ones delivering tasks. She continued on her way to visit Qu Yun, the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, only to find herself transformed into a burly, muscular man. How strange!
Without much thought, having completed all the tasks, he was free to explore the world at will. As a great hero, he could freely use his lightness skill to fly around in the sky.
But being a novice, he didn't manage his stamina well and ran out of fuel in the air. The vertical fall distance exceeded his maximum health, and he was seriously injured in the crash.
Just then, a kind-hearted woman passing by helped her up and even privately messaged her, "Is this your first time playing?"
Chen Sui replied with an "Mm".
Sister Xiu stopped and patiently sent her several messages, telling her that when she landed, she could use a small light-foot technique to avoid falling to her death.
Finally, he added a suggestion: she should find a mentor, because there are too many messy little details and settings in this game, and it would be very tiring to figure it out by herself.
Just as Chen Sui was about to send her a private message asking if she could be her mentor, Sister Xiu vanished from her sight, leaving her with the message she had typed but never sent.
Chen Sui opened the mentor-apprentice interface and filtered through the options. Finally, she selected Cangjian, whose mentor-apprentice value was relatively high. The other party had specifically stated in the information about accepting apprentices that it was a male looking for a female, but Chen Sui didn't take it seriously.
Since the mentor-apprentice interface only shows those who are online, Chen Sui received a reply shortly after sending the private message "Are you still accepting apprentices?"
"Is it a girl?"
"Hmm." Chen Sui hesitated for a moment, but still replied with a yes.
Then the other party quickly sent over a string of numbers, replying with only one sentence: "On YY (a Chinese voice chat platform)."
"What is YY?" Chen Sui asked.
"Are you a newbie?"
"Yes, this is my first time playing."
"Okay, just Google it, YY is a voice chat software."
"Huh? Do you want voice recording too?"
Hearing this, Chen Sui hesitated a bit. The feeling of talking to people around her in real life was quite different from chatting with strangers online. The latter gave people a feeling that... was a bit strange.
"It's nothing, just playing games, chatting, and bragging," the other person replied.
Chen Sui thought about it again, and finally downloaded YY, entered that number, and entered a voice channel.
There were already people chatting inside; a male voice with a hoarse voice was talking to another male voice with a slightly high-pitched voice.
They chatted about how they had spent another day slacking off at their desks, how great it was to grab a few beers at the barbecue place downstairs after work, and how they were mortified when someone shot them with their high beams on the way home, cursing them a hundred times over.
Chen Sui timidly opened her mouth and said, "Hello?"
The sound in the voice channel suddenly disappeared, and a moment later the shrill-voiced man asked, "Bro, is this the newbie who just messaged you?"
The hoarse-voiced guy saw the ID was "Sweet Poison," and wow, it really was!
They quickly pulled the two into a locked private voice channel.
The hoarse-voiced man cleared his throat and said, "Hello, I'm the person you were just chatting with privately. You're looking for your master, right?"
"Hmm..." Chen Sui responded softly.
"Hehe, call me master and let me hear it," the hoarse man chuckled.
"Master... Master..." Chen Sui called out timidly.
"Mmm, little apprentice, don't be shy. Your voice is really nice. You can even earn rewards by singing in games."
"Um... I'm not very good at it..." Chen Sui's tone still carried that shyness.
"It's alright, little apprentice. I'll teach you how to configure all the plugins for this game first," the hoarse man continued gently.
Then, the hoarse man patiently taught Chen Sui how to install the plugin, how to set up game shortcuts, and how to quickly copy other people's words in the world chat.
This game offers a variety of gameplay options, including PvE dungeons, PvP arena battles, PvG research on how to earn gold coins to sell for real money, and PvP scenery viewing of the snow-covered Chunyang Palace on Mount Hua. One of the core gameplay elements is also playing as a repeater in the world chat.
After chatting for a while, the distance between strangers lessened slightly, and the man with the hoarse voice suddenly spoke:
"My younger apprentice."
"Um?"
"Let's stop being master and apprentice, let's be lovers."
Chen Sui was taken aback: "What does 'romantic fate' mean?"
The hoarse-voiced man explained, "It means we're dating online and becoming a couple. If things go well, we can meet offline later."
"Isn't that online dating?" Chen Sui felt a chill run down her spine, belatedly realizing what the other person was talking about.
"Your voice is so beautiful, I think I've already fallen for you."
"Baby, what are your measurements?"
"What?" Chen Sui was taken aback, wondering if she had misheard.
"Bust, waist, and hip measurements, don't you girls know what your measurements are?"
"It's okay, just send me a selfie. I have a sharp eye, I can tell at a glance. It would be best if you sent one that shows your face, hehe."
"Baby, why aren't you saying anything? Talk to me, baby."
The man with the hoarse voice waited for a long time, only to find that there was no sound in the voice channel. When he looked again, Chen Sui had already disappeared.
"Damn, we were having a great conversation."
The hoarse man opened his friends list and was shocked to find that he had deleted all his friends. Even if the romance didn't work out, they could still be master and apprentice.
……
Chen Che wandered around outside for a while, and when he came back, he saw Chen Sui staring at the computer screen with the same expression an old man on the subway looking at his phone.
"What's wrong, class monitor?" Chen Che asked.
"I don't want to play anymore."
Why?
Then Chen Sui told him again what had just happened. She had been lured into a voice chat app outside of the game and a male stranger she had only known for a few hours confessed his feelings and wanted to have an online relationship with her.
No, this can't even be considered knowing each other, right?
This feeling of being fantasized about by strangers is like being cybernetics.
"Hahahahaha." Chen Che couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"You're still laughing." Chen Sui was about to close the game in frustration. Her first journey in the martial arts world had come to an end, and would never begin again.
"Class monitor," Chen Che suddenly called out to her.
"Um?"
Chen Che thought for a moment and said, "You know, there are many people in this society who are just lucky, but they just happen to be able to take care of themselves so that no one notices."
You can't stop interacting with society just because there are fools who are lucky.
MMO games are like miniature societies, where even the most naive and lucky characters can exist.
But similarly, you also encountered people who showed you kindness even though you were just casual acquaintances, like Sister Xiu.
Even with that mentor you've only known for a few hours, you haven't gained nothing from him; he still guided you through the basics of the game, didn't he?
"So, I don't think you've completely given up on this game. Just play it a little longer, after all, you just bought 15 yuan worth of game points and haven't even used them all yet," Chen Che said.
Don't get into trouble with money, even if it means getting into trouble with people.
