Pan Long lived in a world with developed technology and rich life in his previous life. At that time, besides work and housework, his biggest pastime was playing games. Even after he worked, he saved up several months of salary and bought a set of horizontal VR game peripherals.

Lying in the VR device, you can experience various real and illusory scenery without leaving your home, and experience various thrilling adventures. What players have to pay is nothing more than time than money to buy equipment and games.

The amount of money is not small, but it is obviously worth it compared to the pleasure you can get.

Among the young people in that world, VR games are a very popular entertainment project.

...There is no way, everyone's reincarnation skills are very average, so I can enjoy this.

"Heroes" is a fantasy s-rpg (war chess role-playing) game produced by Luna. From the PC era to the VR era, seven works were released in the past and after, each of which sold very well, and can be regarded as one of the golden signs of the game industry. Among them, the fourth "Sword and Sorrow" has very special significance.

This film is an important watershed, marking the change in the style of the Heroes series. From this film, the Heroes series transformed from the semi-q print style to the full realistic style, and is also the first work in the history of VR games that truly perfectly integrates "realistic style" and public aesthetics. It has opened up a golden road for later VR games creation.

This game adopts a level system, and the player plays a young warrior who is determined to become a hero. He goes through various adventures along the way and eventually achieves a great cause. He can be a hero who saves the world, or he can rule the world, and he can also defect to the demons and spread disasters and fears on the earth... In the subsequent DLC (supplementary plot), the player can also become an ancient dragon, rule the three realms, or even become a god directly.

No matter which ending they go, the first level of players' inauguration is Luna Village.

However, what Pan Long is familiar with the Luna Village with corpses everywhere in the game, rather than the quiet and peaceful Luna Village in front of him. The gap between the two is too big, so he couldn't recognize them at the beginning.

Until, he saw Lilina, who looked exactly like the statue of the Goddess of the Moon.

This girl is the heir to the Holy Seal of the Moon Goddess Luna, and is one of the most important plot characters in the whole game. If you go out of the glory line and choose her as the heroine, you can get out of the perfect ending of reunion; if you go out of the dark line, she is an indispensable sacrifice for completing the coming ceremony of the demon god; if you go out of the overlord line, the battles that start because of her are important links to weaken the light and dark sides; when you go out of the hooligan line and wander around the world, you will be involved in these battles again and again...

Unless you are familiar with the plot, don't get involved in anything, and focus on the salted fish route, don't try to avoid her.

Pan Long was not very interested in the subsequent plot. He felt that the fragments of Shanhai Jing were probably not able to manifest the entire story of "Sword and Sorrow" - it was a grand war that spanned the entire continent and started in more than a hundred scenes, and even went to the heaven, the underworld, the demon world and the elves. What he had to consider was what benefits he could get in this "novice level"?

He tried hard to recall his experience when playing games, as well as the strategies and plot analysis he saw online, and couldn't help but sigh.

As the first level of players' fledgling, the enemies of Runa Village are very weak. They are just the Imperial Holy Legion captured the "witches" and massacred the villagers, and stayed to set fire and supervised a small group of soldiers burned out in the entire village. And in this village that was burned into a sea of ​​fire, there are naturally no shops or temples that can be purchased or blessed.

Apart from two hidden treasures, there is nothing else worthwhile in this map.

Even those two hidden treasures are actually very ordinary.

The first one is a pair of feather boots, the effect is a movement speed of +5, which is roughly equivalent to an additional speed of about ten kilometers per hour. The second one is a Slaughter Sword, which basically has average damage, but will cause double damage to humans.

In addition to these two hidden treasures, there is also a "Fragments of Moon" that will definitely be obtained in the plot, which is one of the three necessary materials to be used to recast the Moon artifact "Luna's Sword" in the future.

Pan Long felt that among these three treasures, there was probably only "Fragments of Moon" to him. The other two were simply not worth wasting spiritual energy and taking them back.

Taking the treasure back to the real world from the illusory world created by the fragments of the Shanhai Sutra requires the consumption of the spiritual energy of the treasure itself. The more it consumes, the more supplements you need to open the illusory world next time. So if it is not a treasure that is difficult to obtain, ordinary things are really not worth bringing it back to reality.

Why do the Pan family ancestors all like to create an illusory world full of spiritual medicines? It is because you can eat erectile saccharine directly in it and directly convert resources into your own skills. Even if you eat too much, it doesn’t matter. Just digest it slowly after you come back.

The resources you eat will not consume extra spiritual energy.

My father once said that some of our ancestors had thought about "just eat it", and swallowed some rare treasures hard, preparing to pull them out after returning to reality, or simply vomiting them out. Unfortunately, even if they failed, even if they were swallowed into their stomachs, those things that could not be digested by the human body still had to consume spiritual energy before they could be transformed into entities.

I don’t know whether the ancestor spitted it out or pulled it out…

Of course, Pan Long would not be doing such a stupid thing. If he wanted to take something away, he would definitely take it away directly. Then when he returned to reality, he chose to use spiritual energy to solidify it and follow the most normal process.

But, is the fragments of the moon really worth the cost of spiritual energy to bring back reality?

Or, can this thing be brought back?

He thought about it for a moment and shook his head secretly.

The fragments of the moon are fragments of the "Goddess of the Moon", but what is "Goddess of the Moon" is not mentioned at all in the story. According to the analysis of the players at the beginning, there are only two possibilities: one is the crystal of the divine power of the goddess Luna of the Moon, and the other is part of the fragment of the divine artifact.

No matter which one it is, this thing is quite high-end, so high-end... It is very likely that the spiritual energy stored in the fragments of Shanhai Jing is not enough to realize it.

Moreover, even if it is revealed and brought back, what is the use?

Use it to create a magical weapon? For example, it is a magical sword that can absorb the enemy's vitality while killing the enemy, and also ignore any invisible defensive force fields such as qi?

Pan Long couldn't think of where to find such a powerful swordsman.

If you can't find a swordsman, no matter how good the material is, it can only be placed in the warehouse in the dust, which is just a waste of spiritual energy.

"Forget it, it's meaningless..."

He murmured to himself, dispelling the idea of ​​taking away the fragments of the moon.

It seems that the only gain I gained during this trip to Luna Village was probably that I saw Luna Village, which was not destroyed by the imperial army, and visited a European festival full of Chinese characteristics up close.

...It's a little loss!

Although theoretically speaking, if you don’t take anything away, the spiritual energy of the fragments of Shanhai Jing will be very little, and it will be easier to replenish it and then open a new illusory world again. But after finally coming, I waved my sleeves and didn’t take away a cloud...

"I always feel like I lost 100 million."

Pan Long sighed and was about to turn around and leave.

This festival is nothing more than singing poetry. In his previous life, there was a church near his home, and he saw it many times.

Instead of wasting time watching the excitement, it is better to find a place to practice. See how the effect is different from reality when practicing in this world.

He walked towards the entrance of the village, walked out of Luna Village, and passed by the statue of the Moon Goddess with a long sword at the entrance of the village.

But before he could enter the nearby woods, he saw two men in black robes coming to Luna Village in a carriage under the arch of five or six fiercely-looking strong men.

Pan Long noticed that there was a crescent moon pattern on the chests of these people's black robes.

"The only priests of the Church? What are they here for?"

He talked to himself, letting him go to the roadside, watching the group of people enter the village of Luna with a fierce momentum, and then followed behind to watch the fun.

Then, the group of people had a conflict with the villagers of Luna Village.

This group of people belong to the Fris Empire, and the only legal belief recognized by the Fris Empire is the only God religion. They regard traditional polytheisms in various places as demons and heresies and have been attacking them legally. For example, only the only God believers are allowed to become officials and soldiers, increase taxes on areas with different beliefs, and prohibit the publication of religious books of different beliefs, and prohibit the public creation or display of literary works with other beliefs.

It's fine, but the most terrifying thing is that the Fris Empire also specially established a "Supreme Legion", which took the only fanatical believers of the Divine Cult as the core, and recruited a large number of gangster bandits and others to attack people of other faiths everywhere. It even used the excuses of "capturing wizards" and "hunting witches" to slaughter the entire village more than once.

In the game, no matter which route the players take, they will have fierce conflicts with the Only God Cult. Even if you want to be a salted fish without asking about the world, there will be a crazy believer of the Only God Cult to cause trouble for you and cannot escape.

So Pan Long had no favoritism for these psychopathic religious snarks, and even wanted to see them unlucky.

And just as he expected, facing the fierce and motivated people to immediately smash the statue of the Goddess of the Moon and change their beliefs and convert to the only God Cult, the villagers of Runa Village did not give in. The quarrel quickly turned into a fight. The villagers relied on the large crowds and waved farm tools such as pitchforks and hoes, and beat the guys of the only God Cult to run away with their heads. In the end, they could only throw away the harsh words of "You wait and see", escape into the carriage, and ran away in shame.

After repelling the troubled guy, the villagers of Luna Village continued to celebrate with great enthusiasm, but Pan Long narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.

"I think...I finally understand how the plot of the first level of the game came about..."

As he said that, he came to the ceremony venue and found the village chief who had just taken the lead in arguing with the two only missionaries of the Church.
Chapter completed!
