My portable gaming girlfriend

My surroundings are foggy, and under my feet is an airship the size of a small plane. The occasional high-air flow makes the vehicle a little bumpy.

"Brother, are you here to save the country?"

Someone patted me on the shoulder, I turned around, and it was an uncle NPC wearing a rough jacket. Sakura, Shen Qing, and Ye Yin were all looking around on the deck of this small airship, so they were relieved to be there.

"Save the country?"

I started to pay attention to the NPC in front of me, it seemed that he had something to say to me.

"Aren't the people who are still flying from the inner region of the empire to the western border at this time the warriors who came to fight monsters? ... Oh? Are you here to make money?"

"Western border monster?"

Has the game developed into this? I can't help but secretly dumbfounded.

"Millions of monsters appeared in Xijiang some time ago, what a doomsday scene!"

"Millions? This order of magnitude is no longer about players hunting monsters, but about players being hunted by monsters, right?"

"Hey, what I said is a bit exaggerated, but this little monster will pop out as soon as it dies, and no one has counted it..."

"What's the situation with these monsters?"

"This has to be told slowly from the incident a few years ago—"

Uncle NPC seems to exist just to tell stories, he cleared his throat and began to talk——

In 1520 of the Shanhai calendar, the emperor suffered from a terminal illness for which there was no cure. Following the advice of the contemporary genius doctor, he sent an expeditionary fleet to explore overseas to find the legendary "dragon horn" as a medicine. After more than 90 days, the fleet finally discovered a fairy island and named it 'Penglai'.

'Penglai' is the name of Xiandao, but this island is a dangerous place for the expedition fleet.

The island is huge, with a radius of hundreds of miles, and it is full of strange and ferocious monsters and some large lizard-like creatures. The island is not a deserted island, and a group of long-eared, brown-skinned foreign people call themselves the "Dragon Blood Clan" living on it.

The "Dragon Blood Clan" has been fighting with the monsters on the island all year round, and they call those lizards "dragons". There is a mythical beast on the island named "Eight Desolation Dragon" which swallows clouds and blocks out the sun. It is extremely ferocious, and it is about to wake up once every 50 years. At that time, the whole island will be burned in dragon flames.

After the general learned about it, he believed that the description of the "Eight Desolation Dragon" was exactly the same as the legendary dragon of sin exiled by the God, and reported it to the emperor. The emperor immediately announced to the world that if anyone can get the dragon horn on the island, he will reward ten thousand taels, make him an official and a noble, and bestow endless glory and wealth. As a result, countless talented people came to this island, causing countless disputes for glory or wealth...

"I know this. It's the plot of "Legend of Mountains and Seas". Now? What happened?"

When I first entered the game and heard the NPC say such a long passage, I almost fell asleep.

"So you are a warrior who has gone through that incident? You are so young, and you have admired him for a long time—then let me tell you about what happened recently."

The uncle ignored the words "Legend of Mountains and Seas" main chapter, and directly recognized me as an experienced warrior, and continued to talk about recent events——

In the year 1540 of the Shanhai calendar, 20 years have passed since the discovery of 'Penglai' island. The precious ores and medicinal materials brought back by the warriors from 'Penglai' made the empire's economy prosperous like never before.

In the winter of the same year, a group of businessmen who had been traveling in the Western Regions for many years suddenly begged to see the guardian of the border city "Fengcheng" and said that the "Old Disaster of the Great Desolation" had come from the west, and the entire empire would cease to exist if it was not stopped.

At first, the guards of Fengcheng didn't believe this group of embarrassed and crazy businessmen, but that night the whole border was shaken, and there were bursts of muffled thunder from the west. The next day, all the animals inhabiting the western plains, mountains, and lakes fled from the western mountains to the east. The dark clouds covering the sky and the earth came from the west, and the guard sent an airship to investigate. On the airship that came back, the scout soldiers were helped down tremblingly, saying that a strange steel monster appeared at the end of the Gobi Mountains, like a A sky pillar was inserted into the ground, carrying tens of thousands of monsters made of flesh and machinery rushing down...

The emperor dispatched 300,000 troops to line up, but was wiped out in one fell swoop by the strange light emitted by the giant steel beast codenamed 'Kunpeng'.

"'Kunpeng' will not attack a small-scale team. The empire lost its troops and lost its generals. The emperor now ordered that everyone is responsible for defending the country, so he summoned the warriors from all over the world to crusade against alien beasts and set up the 'Alien Beast Countermeasure Battalion'. As long as it is to kill alien beasts Anyone can get a bounty from there."

"It turns out that this is the background..."

Hybrid Mechanical Beast, this game has an overhead background similar to that of the Ming Dynasty. Facing this kind of mechanical monster from the West is indeed very innovative, no wonder it can attract some new players who have never played this game.

"So boy, get ready to face the monster."

"..."

"Seeing that you are an energetic warrior and your weapons are so sophisticated, you must be able to kill a lot. Take care!"

The uncle introduced the background of the game, then walked into the cabin with a wry smile.

"A Yuan, this dress..."

By the way, it's time to talk to your teammates. The girl with pink hair is naturally Sakura, but...

"Wait, wait! Why are you only wearing underwear?!"

"I was about to ask Ah Yuan, why am I the only one dressed like this here?"

Yes, Sakura is only wearing white underwear...

The game is not so bad that every newly registered player must wear underwear. The only reason for doing this is that she doesn't know that there is an 'initial costume' to choose from in the setting interface.

After all, the newly created character does not have any equipment. If you don’t wear fashion or equipment in the game, you only have underwear on your body...

"Forget it, let's go shopping for a dress later, but your ears...?"

Sakura's ears are as long and pointed as elves, it seems that she chose the dragon blood clan.

"I like this ear very much~ Maybe it's because I chose 'Dragon Blood'?"

The Dragon Blood Clan, I remember that it was set to be human beings and their descendants polluted by the blood of the "Bahuang Dragon". They are characterized by pointy ears, and their physical fitness is higher than that of ordinary humans.

But players have to complete all the achievements in this chapter to choose this race when creating a new character. How did Sakura, a pure rookie, do it...

"too slow."

Just as I wanted to ask her why, I was interrupted by Shen Qing's usual criticism.

Shen Qing wore a huge hooded cloak on her head, with two ears standing on the hood. Under the hood was silver hair. She was wearing a silver breastplate, a red short skirt and a silver long skirt that didn't seem to have high defensive capabilities. boots.

It's not her usual simple style at all, but it's a little cute...

I shook my head to drive away the hallucinations in my mind, it's impossible to put cuteness on her.

I know that her armor skirt is a dyed [Holy Cross] fashion, but this hood seems to have never been seen before, probably also a fashion.

In the game, armor suits need to be built with materials obtained from defeating monsters, and at the same time provide players with defense power, but costumes that have no effect can only be bought with game points obtained by recharging.

Poor people like me have never understood the meaning of spending money on these fashions. Shen Qing is still rich...

"Senior Time."

In the game, Ye Yin returned to the image of a beautiful girl with golden double ponytails, wearing a long jacket with a cloak with a purple pattern on a white background, and a silver armor on the outside.

This set of equipment is obviously for women... In the game, the appearance of men's and women's equipment is very different. Did Ye Yin choose the women's equipment once without hesitation?

Quite in contrast, he was slender and carried a huge gun shield on his back. This is a weapon that combines attack and defense. On the one hand, the huge shield plane like an ironing board can withstand the long-range attacks of monsters, and on the other hand, the spear can be drawn out as a weapon to attack the enemy.

This set of equipment is very good, the only disadvantage is that it is too heavy and requires a lot of player strength and positioning. It formed a huge contrast with his slender appearance, but Ye Yin was originally a player who specialized in tanks, so it was normal to choose this way.

Shen Qing's weapon is a musket, a single-shot primitive weapon with high lethality, which can be fired multiple times after one reload, and is suitable for bullets of various attributes, but the shooting range is not as far as bows and crossbows.

"Senior Wan Yue, where did you buy your hood?"

Ye Yin was also more interested in Shen Qing's cat ear hood. I imagined Ye Yin wearing a hood with cat ears, it seemed cute too... Unfortunately, it was a man.

"A cape? I got it from last year's Halloween event."

"Ah... I remembered, that activity where you can only draw prizes with krypton gold and the winning rate is very low?"

Gold dollars are usually used to buy and sell materials and equipment in the game, but there are some exteriors that can only be bought or drawn with real money, Shen Qing's cloak is one of them.

Yes, last year the Halloween operator organized a krypton gold event, in which only game points could be paid in the lottery, and the winning rate was very low, which caused a lot of complaints.

The cloak was drawn at that time. It's nice to be rich...

"Maple City ahead, prepare to land!"

The uncle who had just left suddenly yelled at us, and I realized that he was at the helm, and he seemed to be the captain of the ship.

"Maple City?"

"See there?"

I looked out, and through the thick clouds, a huge city gradually appeared.

In the game, the city is a place for players to socialize and buy equipment.

——"Legend of Mountains and Seas" is a large-scale open world VR game. It does not reach the point where the "virtual world" is common to the whole world, and the number of active users is far lower than that of the "virtual world". Therefore, all players are placed on the same server the only main city.

Therefore, the size of this city and the number of players can also be imagined.

"That's where the strange beast comes from."

He pointed to the west, and the mountains stretched into a wall of black clouds in which countless tiny lights shone.

The airship stopped at the parking lot in the city. After stepping off the airship, you can see that the NPCs this time are officers and soldiers in armor, and the atmosphere is more depressing than in the previous one. After all, they are suppressed by many monsters'armies' .

"You warriors, it's good to have you here."

The airship took off quickly after we left, and the ground space is limited, so most of the airships are anchored and parked in the air. In this article, I often take this kind of airship. It originally used the technology of the dragon blood clan. It is made of storm keel and leather, and it is as fast as lightning.

It stands to reason that it is time to take over the mission and set off, but weapons and equipment still need to be prepared in advance.

I bought the simplest skirt fashion for Sakura at the market. Although the skirt is not pretty, at least she is no longer being stared at by everyone.

There were so many people on the street, it took us a little while to find the weapon shop.

The finished equipment sold in the equipment store is only suitable for initial use. The truly powerful equipment is the equipment that has added monster blood and scale claws, and comes with cool monster attribute special effects.

It is difficult to choose a weapon for Sakura. The melee weapon Sakura is not good, and she may not even be able to dodge a charge.

Long-range weapons... Although safe, I still remember the hit rate of the fireball technique she showed in "Mirror Island". It is almost conceivable that the result is that after a battle, she tried her best to draw the bow and shoot arrows, but only wiped out the monster The situation of a few skins...

But what are the options besides melee and ranged weapons?

"New weapon, new weapon! Xiaodian launched a new piano weapon 'lyre'!"

The shopkeeper's sudden loud shout startled me.

He is holding a long-tailed xylophone that is shaped like a lute but has seven strings. I doubt that this xylophone can really be used as a weapon? Is it used to hit people?

I imagined the scene where Sakura waved her lyre to hit monsters. Cuteness is cute, but cuteness can’t be used as damage. Almost all monsters have hard armor, and some have high temperatures that can make wood burn instantly. This fragile weapon hits it It is simply hitting a stone with an egg.

"Music is an important inheritance of imperial culture. Although this is an instrument from the West, the well-written melody has the same effect on affecting the listener's state of mind, and can even cause physical changes in the listener.

"Physical changes?"

"Look at the music written in this book, full of energy, infinite strength, fire-resistant and frost-resistant..."

The shopkeeper handed over a bamboo slip.

I opened the bamboo slips, and it turned out to be a sheet of music, which recorded 12 different pieces of music in the form of numbered notation, and each piece of music can add different buffs to the listener.

The basic BUFF is increased strength, increased defense, increased speed, increased jumping ability, increased maximum endurance, accelerated endurance recovery, increased maximum health, accelerated life recovery, increased health, increased heat resistance, and increased cold resistance.

Strength is related to both attack and defense capabilities, but the defense power related to strength refers to the ability and time to support a weapon such as a gun shield under the attack of a monster, and the defense power can be understood as the strength and strength of the body. Skin hardness.

The last song is even about resurrecting teammates, but this song not only takes a long time to play, but the success rate of playing is also related to the level of the lyre.

From this point of view, the weapon "lyre" is very suitable for Sakura, but its fatal flaw is also obvious, and it has almost no attack power.

This is a weapon that must be used with teammates, so let Sakura use it for the time being.

Then we went to the equipment store.

At the door is the signature novice outfit, [Warrior Series].

This set includes [Warrior Helmet], [Warrior Armor], [Warrior Boots], [Warrior Gauntlets]... If this set of equipment is fully worn, it will look like the model over there. They will all be covered into an iron barrel. In short, women will never like this kind of armor.

The equipment store will also sell shorts and skirts suitable for long-range players. This is because long-range players don't need to be close to monsters, the chance of injury is reduced, and they don't have to wear too much armor.

Speaking of dresses, I saw a new white dress and immediately saw its price tag.

"Winter limited suit skirt, only 999 gold dollars."

999 gold dollars is too much, right? This is a huge sum of money in the game, and I only have 1,000 and a few gold dollars on me. Besides, such a sky-high priced skirt is no more defensive than a set of [Warrior Series] for one gold dollar. Who would buy such a flashy dress? s things……

"Ayuan! This dress is so beautiful..."

Sakura took my arm, staring at the dress with envy.

"——Hello, this skirt is a skirt that is sold in limited quantities in our cloth shop, which has both defensive ability and appearance. It is very popular among female warriors..."

The NPC began to boast about their products at length, but no matter what, this is 999 gold dollars!

Although all the bosses in this article have been defeated, it does not mean that I have a lot of gold dollars. The 999 gold dollars are my savings since playing this game.

"Forget it, forget it, this guy can't afford it at first glance, just buy [Warrior Series], it's only 1 gold dollar anyway."

Although Shen Qing understood what I was thinking, it was really uncomfortable for her to say it in such a tone.

But I'm not someone who cares about her, Guijia's defense effect is poor, and I won't spend a penny on such clothing.

No matter how you look at it, they are not all ordinary skirts. Although they are a bit revealing, they are not worth so much money.

...

"Okay, 999 gold dollars, it's not like I don't have any!"

"Really, really? Thank you, Ayuan!"

"as long as you are happy……"

The virtual girlfriend happily put on a 999 gold winter limited dress, and I can only say that it smells good in silence, at least this is a relatively smooth start.
