Just like most computer online games, there are two channels for sending and receiving messages in "Nine Realms". One is ordinary private messages. You can have text-level conversations by opening the chat list. Non-friends cannot do this with almost no restrictions. of remote communication.
Another way is to use mail, stand in a mailbox somewhere and fill in the message, and even attach items that can be freely traded in the inventory. Generally speaking, the system will not directly issue items to the personal inventory. To increase the sense of immersion, officials will also issue rewards or compensation to players via email..
But of course, "Nine Realms" has had no problems in this regard since the day it started open beta. Apart from necessary minor version updates and server maintenance, it has never crashed, the game experience is good, and no one has been stuck in the wall. bugs, coupled with the operation of the incomparable Buddhist system of operation, it seems to be quite confident in its viscosity. Apart from the initial public beta reservation rewards and publicity, there are no other offline activities..
Therefore, the system basically does not send any emails directly to players, and there is not even a questionnaire. Most of them are sent back and forth by players, either by mailing gold coins to newbies, or by the auction house in the game. Send email.
But Hoder didn't buy anything in the auction house, so the only people who sent him emails were friends..
who is it?
After seeing the words that appeared on the letter, Hoder's expression became subtle..
From: Dietrich
Theme: Happy Valentine's Day
Content: I am not free in the morning, and the email is scheduled. This time should still be in the copy.
How should I put it? It is really a very concise style. Hoder can be sure from the text that this must be his wife's handwriting, because the tone is exactly the same, and there will be no nonsense if there are no unnecessary words. It is completely There is no romance at all.
Even at this moment, Hoder thought of their marriage process...
Don't think that after this crappy game simulates a realistic real life in another world, players' proposals will become more romantic - of course, there are also players who seek romance, as is Hoder's more than two years of gaming experience , he has witnessed many romantic wedding ceremonies in the game, and has also seen many grand proposals in the forum..
After all, this is a Nordic style game that focuses on magic and mythical elements. Reality has all kinds of shackles that belong to common sense and science, but there are none here, so it can be said that there are a lot of tricks..
He has seen someone use the professional skills of herbalism to create a blue rose garden to propose marriage, and the tens of thousands of blue roses that bloom in an instant are mesmerizing; he has also seen someone use the radiant runes to pave a miraculous road, bringing people together. Lovers are brought to the surface of the sea for the most sincere confession.
These are textbook-like applications of professional skills that take place in "Nine Realms", and of course, most of them have been extended from the game to reality. If Hoder is willing, he can now put the forum The 'Proposal Method Collection Building' that has been polished and placed at the top has been dug out, and there are still many people showing off their affection..
Unfortunately, these people do not include Hoder and his wife. Although they are considered married in the game, there is no romantic proposal. He can still remember the marriage more than half a year ago. matter.
Probably when they were clearing tasks in the wild, the two of them sat by the campfire and counted their achievements. Finally, they found that there was a partner achievement missing, so at that time, he simply went along with the flow and said to the girl who always looked cool. That sentence came out:
"Otherwise, shall we get married? In this way, you can get an achievement, and by the way, you can also clear the tasks next Valentine's Day.."
Of course, he can still swear to God that he meant what he said, but in order to avoid embarrassment, he used a joking tone at the time..
After being silent for a while, Dietrich agreed.
"OK."
He swore that it was the most beautiful smile he had ever seen, like an iceberg. Although it was just an ordinary upward movement of the corners of her mouth, she was indeed smiling, without any grievance or resentment..
Then there was nothing more. She herself had no interest in that kind of proposal ceremony. The two just registered on the system symbolically, recorded each other's IDs on the panel, and then exchanged their weapons - this It was her request, and there was nothing else she could do..
The two still get along as before. They didn't buy a wedding room in the game, they didn't choose a place to settle down, and even other people in the guild didn't know they were married..
"Tsk..."
Thinking of this, Hoder couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. In fact, he was quite envious of couples who were in love with each other in the game, especially on a day like Valentine's Day. Major cities like Volsong were even more popular. It is filled with the atmosphere of "being single is a sin".
"Forget it, let's do the mission. "Finally, after stuffing the text of the letter in the mailbox into the inventory, he left the mailbox at the door of the hotel..
However, he still seemed to feel that it was not safe, so when walking, he still locked the letter in the inventory and prepared to throw it back into the warehouse for storage..
In this way, he walked back to the main city of Völsung in the new version. Compared with the previous version, the layout of this city has changed a lot. The new king Legni is still a good king. ——At least on the surface, this is true. In the twenty years since he brought the Netherlands under his rule, the city has been relatively stable, but at the beginning, the changes in the pattern still caused a lot of complaints from players.
Except for the remaining hotels and taverns, which have not changed, the locations of other blacksmith shops and shops have changed. What Hoder is heading to now is a blacksmith shop that is only available in the new version. Its location is at the southernmost edge of the royal city. It is quite remote compared to other blacksmith shops, but even so, many players are willing to come to this blacksmith shop to buy things..
Because the NPC here, Blacksmith Regin, is the issuer of daily tasks, and the new version of forging recipes are also purchased from him..
Of course, the above are only the interests of the players. As for personal sensibility, it is because there is a future hero here: Siegfried
However, compared to the image of a great hero described in Dragon Song, Siegfried is still just an ordinary blacksmith at this moment. He is naked to the waist, his body is red by the firelight, and the blacksmith hammer in his hand is constantly hitting the iron block. After that Even immersed directly in cold water.
The sound of stabbing caused a burst of cheers. Those players who were obviously new and mostly girls stood at the door of the blacksmith shop and stared at the muscular man..
How should I put it? Even if a handsome guy is just blacksmithing here, he can gain fans. When he saw these male and female players in front of the blacksmith shop, Huo De couldn't help but think of the small guilds he had seen before, like some support club or something. Yes, there are even mommy fans on the forum. Seeing one baby at a time makes your brain hurt..
I don't understand the mentality of groupies...
In the end, Hoder forced himself to move forward. He was ready to squeeze into the crowd, but at this moment, a system prompt suddenly popped up in his vision..
[It is detected that there is a 'Broken Sword Hilt (Quest Item)' in your items. Do you want to enter the special quest scene??]
In the inventory, the thing with the exclamation mark and the mission item are shining brightly....
