Chapter 1 Awakening to a Different World
"The simulation version of Tianji has been tested internally!" January 1, 2011 is a really good day. For hundreds of millions of sky players around the world, the latest version of Skyrim will be launched.
Ning Chen held his ID card and sat in front of the computer after dinner early, waiting for the moment when the server opened at 8 p.m.
He is not a professional game player or a master, but he is the most staunch supporter in the 12 years since Tianji was born. It is no exaggeration to say that Tianji and he grew up with each other from 12 to 24 years old.
Sky began to stop maintenance half a month ago, and developers will release their latest client to give players the most authentic and fair experience.
When the living room wall clock rang eighth, Ning Chen clicked down to confirm. Before that, he had already opened the client, wrote down the account number and password, and confirmed the card and mouse.
It's really a brand-new experience. On the new character page, Ning Chen's excited palm is sweating, or choose the beloved taau-headed man, naive, or choose a hunter, that is Ning Chen's favorite, white hair, broken horns... The name follows the character name before the update: Maple Bridge Egg Milk.
The people in the red cloud platform are dark, full of players shaking their heads and looking around. There are pure novices, most of whom are old players. There is no way. Who is the sky so popular? It has been popular for more than ten years.
After adapting to the initial dizziness, Ning Chen began to greedily enjoy the beautiful scenery of his hometown. The blue sky, the green grass... could even smell the smell of dirt and earthy smell.
Mom took a shower and was ready to blow her hair with a hairdryer. While nagging, "It's 24 now, why don't you find a girlfriend and lie on the computer all day?" Ning Chen dealt with his mother while busy operating the mouse. Suddenly, he seemed to be hit by an electric current. He trembled all over and lost consciousness when it was black in front of his eyes.
..................
This breeze is cold.
In a daze, Ning Chen felt weak and involuntarily shrank into a ball.
"Hey! Wake up!" Someone shouted in his ear in a rude voice, "Don't you feel cold? Don't stand in my door and affect my business, okay?"
"Sneeze!" His eyes didn't open. First, he sneezed with a runny and drool. Then Ning Chen opened his eyes. The sky was so blue! This is in a dream. It turned out that I would catch a cold in my dream. When I looked at myself again, I only wore a pair of big white trousers, and there was nothing else. The wind blew, and the flag on the flagpole beside him was swept by the wind to make a sound of banging.
Where is this? He shivered.
No matter where it is, this is by no means his own home, not his own bed, because he is lying on the cold floor, with an old tauride standing beside him, looking at himself with a resentful face.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm in your way." Ning Chen quickly apologized and moved his buttocks. The bones all over his body were as painful as falling off.
Pain...Wait, Tauren?? He quickly turned around and looked at the man just now. Yes, he was an old tauren with white hair, wrinkled skin on his face, his teeth were about to fall out, and his mouth still exuded an unpleasant smell of alcohol.
Taorhead??? Ning Chen looked at him in shock, and then immediately looked at himself. There was a swaying tail behind his buttocks, full of fur, and the hand of his hoof... His eyes almost fell off.
What are you looking at? Haven't you seen such an old and strong cow?" Lao Niu stared at him with dissatisfaction and slowly opened the door of his tent.
Tent??
Looking up again, the white clouds are floating in the blue sky, and the small wind around is cool. What's the situation? Ning Chen struggled to stand up and said, "Be careful. If you fall down, you can make a pie and eat it!" It's the old cow again
Ning Chen looked in the direction of his finger, bottomless.
"Well, excuse me, where is this?" He asked tremblingly.
"Are you dizzy? Don't you even know Thunder Cliff?" Lao Niu looked contemptuous.
"Thunder Cliff?" Ning Chen squeezed his cheek desperately. This must not be true. This must be a dream. Although he has dreamed of galloping on the continent of Azeroth countless times, God should not play tricks on himself like this.
There were all kinds of tareans walking around him in a hurry. Ning Chen hesitated for a moment, pulled a man to hide by the pillar and asked in a low voice, "Where is this place?"
The man rolled his eyes at him: "Are you all right? This is Thunder Cliff. Have you ever played the game? Don't you even know Thunder Cliff?" After saying that, he hurriedly chased his partner, "There is a strange thing. I just met a cow, and it feels like an NPC..."
"Hey, buddy!" Someone was calling him in a low voice. He turned his head and followed the sound. It was actually the guard standing at the stairs of the elder highland, who was squeezing his eyebrows at himself and calling him to pass.
"I said you don't want to fool around. Don't you know if you can talk to them casually? Unless they take the initiative to greet you."
Ning Chen stared at him, stunned and couldn't say a word. In the dream, it must be in the dream.
"Our ancestors are protecting you!" The guard suddenly became polite. It turned out that someone came to ask for directions. Ning Chen was familiar with this set of sayings.
"In NPC, our duty is to do decoration." After the person asked the way to jump away, he whispered to Ning Chen, "by the way, which department are you from? What area are you responsible for?
"No department, no area..." Ning Chen mechanically dragged his legs away and muttered all the way.
It's really windy and cold on the Thunder Cliff. No wonder the Tauren had a thick layer of fur. He found a corner with a tent and no one. He sat down and began to think about what was going on.
I can't recall what happened, but there is only one thing he has figured out. Now that he is in the game world, is this holography? I don't think so, so it's time travel. The problem is that there is neither lightning nor thunder. Why did you travel through time? Well, don't do these now. His stomach is purring and his body is cold. Although... he looked down at himself and had a layer of fur on his body, but this could not resist the cold wind on the thunder cliff.
Although I have been playing in the sky for many years, the map in the game is different from where I am in it. How can I get to the road under my feet? Which road leads to pubs and hotels? After going all the way, he finally came to the hotel, which was very lively and full of guests.
The boss's wife is a charming middle-aged cow, with brown hair, wearing a white apron, and shuttles among the guests with a smile. Occasionally, a player who came to save the Hearthstone appeared, and she immediately stood back to her position and said the same lines: "Our Your ancestors are protecting you.
"Boss's wife..." Ning Chen took a look at the right time and came up.
"What are you doing?" The cow immediately became alert, "What's the matter?"
"Do we have anything to fill our stomachs?" Ning Chen didn't lose his time to get close, but it was probably better not to laugh, and the cow's face fell down with a smile.
"Do you have money?" She looked up and down at Ning Chen, as if she had no money to come in.
Ning Chen tried his best to adjust his mood. For so many years, he hasn't eaten a bully meal and hasn't cheated anyone. "Yes, of course..." In fact, he has made up his mind to eat first and then help her wash dishes for a few days.
The cow rolled its eyelids up and down, and she really couldn't see where to put money on the cow in front of her.
"I really have..." Ning Chen patted his trousers and pretended to be mysterious.
Although he was still skeptical, he still put Ning Chen in and ordered the clerk to give him the baked pancakes that had not been sold the day before yesterday, "I need to charge double money!" She deliberately told the buddy.
The cake is gone.
Ning Chen frowned and chewed the cake in his mouth. While scolding the black-hearted boss's wife in his heart, he thought about his own affairs. However, after eating a cutbread, he could not find any relevant memories and clues from his head. Instead, he felt colder and colder. I guess he was about to catch a cold. Thinking of this, he smiled helplessly and smiled helplessly. Cold... He doesn't know where Azeroth sells cold medicine. Does he want to go to Druid or a priest for treatment?
"TNND, do you dare to eat the overlord meal? I didn't inquire everywhere. If I can open this hotel on Thunder Cliff, I must have something..." The boss's wife grabbed Ning Chen's ear angrily. The reason was very simple. After dinner, he paid the bill. This guy said with a shy face that he didn't bring money. What did he do? When I asked you, you said you brought it.
"That's right, our boss's brother is still the captain of the guard!" The man flattered at the right time and kicked Ning Chen.
"Low-key!" The cow stared at the man and said, "Tell me, how are you going to pay back this account? Seventy copper coins! How are you going to return it?"
Ning Chen touched his ears and grinned. The dead cow was really strong. "The boss's wife, don't be gentle, it's just 70 copper coins... I'll pay you back. Although I don't have money, I can help you wash the dishes... until you pay it off..."
The final result is that Ning Chen unconditionally washes the dishes for three days, one meal a day, one saper per meal. Three days later, when Ning Chen walked out of the door of the hotel, he looked at the sun and knelt down and held the ground tightly with his hands. How haggard he looked.
When he left the hotel, he really didn't know where to go.
"Yi? Why are you so miserable?" A crisp female voice sounded in my ear.
Ning Chen looked up desperately. He was a blood elf. Strictly speaking, he was a blood elf female priest. He should have run from the silver moon to the barren upgrade to do the task.
"I saw you in the hotel yesterday. What are you doing there?"
"I..." Ning Chen opened his mouth and didn't know what to answer.
"Ha, I see. Are you new here? This game is very fun. You will know it in a few days, but it may be a little difficult for novices to get started, but fortunately, you chose the hunter, which is the entry-level profession for novices..." She was very enthusiastic, "I can't see your name. My name is Eva. What's your name?"
"Ning Chen."
