The barbecue stand was filled with smoke, the neon lights hanging on the nearby stores were flickering, and the continuous stream of pedestrians were chatting and laughing...
Looking around, it was full of the hustle and bustle of life.
The two were chatting while ordering. Then they sat at the open-air street corner and waited for the boss to serve the food.
"Selling equipment is selling equipment. But also selling virtual items. I thought you were helping someone run an online store!" Wang Kai couldn't help but complain. "It turned out that you have entered the game already?"
Jack nodded and smiled: "The virtual reality presentation of 'Eternal' is very strong. It's called the Second World. The temptation is too great. How could I not be tempted?"
"What's your game name?" Wang Kai said, "When I go back, I'll add you as a friend."
"This..."
Jack hesitated for a while and shook his head: "Let's keep it a secret for now."
His reputation was indeed quite loud now. There were too many people in the whole server who wanted to kill him. He didn't distrust Wang Kai. But just in case, it was better not to reveal it for the time being.
After all, there was no impenetrable wall in the world. The best way to keep a secret was to not even let the wind of it rise.
"So mysterious." Wang Kai didn't take it to heart. After a little consideration, he reminded, "Let me tell you, 'Eternal' is different from other games. You must treat NPCs as real people. Otherwise, you won't be able to move forward!"
He knew how disgusting this game 'Eternal' was. He thought that Jack was probably stuck in the novice village and couldn't get out. And he was too embarrassed to say it. So it was understandable that he didn't want to mention it for the time being.
Although he had confidence in Jack's operation, what was needed at the beginning of 'Eternal' was not operation but catering to the preferences of NPCs.
This point, he only figured it out on the second day of the game's launch.
"Yeah."
Jack deeply agreed.
Ever since Daniel guessed that adventurers had the protection of the Goddess of Life and were not afraid of death. And said that he couldn't give equipment to players unconditionally against the rules, he never regarded the natives as NPCs with formulaic communication.
After that, the two ate kebabs while talking about the game.
"Right!"
At a certain moment, Wang Kai suddenly thought of something. Looking around and confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he lowered his voice and said: "Let me tell you a secret. It's said that in 'Eternal', when players reach a certain level of strength, they will enter a certain secret realm."
Secret realm?
Jack was slightly stunned and immediately asked: "What kind of secret realm?"
"I don't know exactly when the secret realm will open. It should be that when the level reaches a certain point, you will automatically enter." Wang Kai said mysteriously, "The secret realm seems to be related to the adventurers' talents. It seems that the official of 'Eternal' doesn't like to give talents to characters simply by lottery and luck. Instead, they determine the strength of the talents through trials."
"How do you know all this?" Jack was puzzled.
Wang Kai's family situation was quite good, but he was definitely not a very rich and powerful person. He shouldn't be able to obtain information that others couldn't through his own channels in advance.
"I said, I joined a studio. That studio is very powerful and wants to do great things in the game." Wang Kai patted his stomach and stood up, "Okay, don't ask more. Let's stop chatting today. I still have to go back to work."
"Okay."
Saying goodbye to Wang Kai, Jack moved back and was ready to try to get the relevant information about talents from Daniel after completing the quest.
Back to the rental house, he put on the game helmet.
Log in!
...
"Swish!"
Entering the game, Jack opened his eyes. What appeared in his vision was still a barren land.
Continue to kill monsters!
There were still two hundred demonized lizards left. He planned to solve them all at once tonight.
Holding the Wild Buffalo Sword, Jack looked everywhere for the spawn points.
Fortunately, he had deliberately left coordinates for many places before. When he went there again, the demonized lizards had respawned. It saved a lot of time in searching.
During the monster-killing process, Longteng Wanli transferred 50,000 to him. Jack told him the location where the equipment was hidden and the two completed the transaction.
"Ding! ~"
System prompt: Congratulations on completing the quest [Temper Yourself]. You can go to the mentor, the Undead Mage · Daniel, to obtain the quest reward!
It wasn't until 11 p.m. that Jack finally killed 500 demonized lizards. With an expectant mood, he returned to the position where Daniel was recuperating.
"Huh?"
Sensing someone approaching, Daniel stood up and was immediately stunned: "I didn't expect you to complete the quest so quickly."
