Chapter 420: Newbie = Black Slave
The afternoon sun hung low in the sky, hiding in the shadow of the tower.

"I wipe!"

A figure in white shorts appeared out of nowhere. He took a deep breath and said, "I can really smell the fragrance of the air. It's real!"

The game has been very popular recently and is said to be a true "metaverse" where one can start a second life in the game.

He didn't believe it at first, but he couldn't help but enter the game to try it out. He thought that he could play the game by putting on the helmet and falling asleep. If it was true, wouldn't that extend his life?

His friends kept recommending it to him, which made him believe that the game was real and not made up.

Stealing Heart Daji turned around and looked at the lights flashing from time to time around her, and the people coming out of the lights, knowing that they were newcomers like herself.

He had played with VR glasses before, and the visual deception was indeed very good. He also found the 6DOF perspective movement very interesting when he first experienced it. However, his body was still in reality, and it was easy to bump into people when moving, and it was impossible to feel it like he was doing now.

I get bored with that kind of VR helmet after a while, it presses my forehead and cheeks, and it turns out it’s better to play games before falling asleep.

"Does it feel like you've really traveled through time?" a voice came from the side.

Stealing Heart Daji nodded and replied: "Yes, if you didn't tell me this was a game, I really felt like I was in a new world where I could touch everything."

He suddenly reacted and turned to look at the figure standing next to him. The other person was wearing a golden armor with a secret pattern that emitted a faint glow. She was a female character with a high white ponytail tied behind her head and hanging down to her waist.

The upper body is streamlined armor, and the lower body is stockings with knee pads.

She looks like a Valkyrie, and "Guangwu" makes her look like she has the powerful aura of a big boss.

The weapon is really cool.

But the other party's next words reminded him of those touts he encountered when he came out of the bus station: "Would you like to join our guild?"

"Ah?" asked Thief Xin Daji subconsciously, "Are there any benefits?"

"I'll give you a set of equipment and take you to complete quests to level up quickly."

"Then what should I do?"

"We all play games together. There is no mandatory requirement, but we must guarantee the online time. We have to go to the Great Rift dungeon of the Black Swamp Kingdom in two days. We just want to find a companion to play games together. It happens that you can brush materials when you level up, and you can directly contribute to the guild."

"That sounds good." He nodded.

It is indeed much easier for the other party to use resources to help you first than to level up slowly by yourself. Besides, it is impossible for a group of big guys to cheat people just because newbies can easily get materials.

Shan Mawei continued, "Nowadays, many newbies want to play stand-alone. If it's in other regions, it's okay, but it's not possible in the Land Kingdom. No matter what, it's best for you to join a guild."

"Why?" asked the Thief of Hearts Daji.

"Because the Disaster Shadow Area has long been divided up by major guilds, everyone has to go to NPCs to buy the right to use the Disaster Shadow Area, and directly control the leveling locations. When newbies come, they will find that there is not even a place to level up, and the path to promotion is directly cut off."

"Ha, can we play it this way?" Stealing Heart Daji was surprised that the NPC even sold the monster refresh area. Has the game become so free?

His good friend is not from the Kingdom of Rand, nor even from the Xilu Continent. Whenever he chats with him, he says that he is suffering. There is a monster every three steps and a BOSS every five steps. It is extremely painful.

Shan Mawei seemed to understand his thoughts and said, "It's only like this here. There's a saying circulating on the Internet that Rand Kingdom is a private server! Come on, I'll take you to get the equipment first."

"Thank you, boss!"

Just skip the Novice Village and follow Daji to get on the carriage, then find that it is already full of people.

"Wait a moment, I'll pull one more, and then we'll leave when we have enough people." said the guild leader with the single ponytail.

The sense of soliciting customers at the station is even stronger!
In the carriage, a group of newbies squatted together like slaves. It was packed full and everyone was chatting when they had nothing to do.

"What do you call it?"

"I'll call myself Stealing Heart Daji, just call me Daji."

"..."The atmosphere among the black slaves...oh, the undead people returned to silence again.

"My name is Xixi Dalailai."

The atmosphere finally became more lively.

After the newbies introduced themselves, they found out that they were all from the lower ranks, and they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

In this case, there is no need for us to pretend to be gentlemen.

Speak your mind!

Finally, the number of people was full, and the undead with a single ponytail pulled the undead people and set off. After a long journey, they arrived at the guild in the undead residential area outside the Griffin Castle.

"Every once in a while, they'll open a free portal that takes you to the main cities." The undead with a ponytail introduced them. "Don't be fooled by its ugly appearance. Its full name is the Crystal Defense Tower. If you're lucky enough to encounter an enemy attack on the city, it will release lightning and you can pick up the heads of the enemies."

"How powerful is it?" someone asked.

"Probably, a level 30 elite monster will die with just one touch."

"Fuck, this is awesome, it's worthy of being the main city!"

Everyone in the carriage sighed.

They were amazed by the grass and trees, the weather system, the creaking sounds they could hear while sitting in the carriage, and everything they did was filled with novelty.

After arriving at the place, the immortal with a ponytail took them to register first, and then said: "The disaster has not refreshed yet. The second wave of refreshes will have to wait until around 2:00 a.m. tonight. If you want to eat a midnight snack, please log off and eat it quickly. Don't stay up late. Go to bed early and go online to kill monsters."

I don't know why, but these words sound weird. Playing games actually requires people to go to bed early.

"By the way, don't forget to plant some things while you kill monsters. You can also go to the guild's bulletin board to see what has the highest contribution points recently."

Looking at the newbies holding hoes, swords and sickles, Dan Mawei nodded with satisfaction.

Every guild is constantly absorbing new cattle and horses.

High-level undead only want to go to the Abyss to kill monsters. Even if they have nothing to do, they would rather go to the Snake Catcher Fortress to brush the ladder rankings than to farm for those Heart of Doom fragments.

A complete Heart of Disaster is worthless.

But recently Miss Dorothy announced a new currency points policy, and the guild also needs contributions.

Contribution is related to various materials, food, etc.

If you want to increase your contribution, you have to farm. Farming takes too long and is too boring. Pure and meaningless physical labor consumes a lot of passion.

So they came up with a good idea, which was to recruit new members.

Newbies can kill monsters and level up, the guild has also made contributions, the Kingdom of Rand has obtained various foods, and everyone has a bright future.

At night, looking at the shadow of disaster that was hacked to death by several people as soon as it showed its head, and knowing that it would take another day for the new Heart-Stealing Daji to be refreshed, he followed the advice of the old players and started to harvest food.

Harvest grain, sort and bag it, and plant new seeds.

He felt that he was less like a player and more like a cyber serf.

No, it should be an illusion. If you don't become a cyber serf, you can't even get a place to fight monsters. Wouldn't that be even more miserable?

After busying herself with farming, Thief Daji has become completely numb.

While others entered the game to explore, he was taken away directly from the birth point by a carriage, and then had to farm. Fortunately, he had some free time after farming, otherwise he really suspected that he had entered the death assembly line.

Upgraded and became stronger, but became stronger by relying on farming.
