Chapter 503 Handicraft - Details

“At least thirty credits are wasted every day. Umbrella is becoming more and more unworthy of a human being.”

 “Really rich.”

“Although the transactions inside are all credits, you can do everything by yourself. It doesn’t mean that you can’t play without paying.”

“I’ve been studying the lessons of that group of mage seedlings every day recently. Not to mention, it’s really hard. Hey, it would have been fine when I was in my senior year of high school. Now I really can’t calm down.”

"Me too, but with the motivation of using magic to push forward, I can still hold on."

　　　…”

 With the gradual liberalization of Penglai settlement quotas, some real-life impacts of "Abyss World" itself have also appeared!

Nowadays, the silver tide is rising, and the purchasing power of credit points is getting stronger and stronger.

 30 credits are given out for free every day, which is higher than what many people earn after a hard day’s work!

 In fact, many people who watched it were quite jealous and looked forward to the popularity of this game.

 While most people don’t have a quota, there will always be a few special lucky ones...

"As a lucky person who won the spot as a tester, grabbed the right to buy a robot, and got a spot in the closed beta test of "Abyss World", I feel that I have reached the peak of my life. Unfortunately, the robot was originally paid for by the manufacturer, so I must It needs to be at least three years old, otherwise I already want the robot to come back to serve my family."

Shen Shi was showing off screenshots of his three quotas, while lying on the bed, pretending to be indifferent as he had no pursuit, sighing and filming the video.

Then he spoke again

“Okay, without further ado, I have to get into the game. Recently, Principal Qin and Big Pineapple teamed up to create an Abyss Mineral Company. I have to take my first sip of soup during the closed beta.”

 As he finished speaking, amidst the barrage of envy, jealousy and hatred, he had already logged into the game.

 Many people left speechless messages.

“One person can take advantage of everything.”

 “Take a breath of European air.”

“He wants to apply for a job at Abyss Mineral Company?”

"That's right. The boss of 'Abyss Mineral Company' advertises every day. Not only did he drag Mr. Qin into the water, but he also roped in Big Pineapple. Not to mention, I still think this is what he said after looking at his theories. mean."

“Something doesn’t feel right. Why do I still have to work while playing the game?”

“The money given is a lot, and the game is interesting. In the game, you can actually make money while having fun. In reality, it is forced by life, and the labor in the game will not damage the body, and it is a high-quality deep sleep.”

“That makes sense, but I still prefer fighting monsters.”

“No, the authenticity and difficulty of this game are really high. Currently, those who try to defeat monsters are losing blood. The death penalty in this game is very heavy.”

“I remember Big Pineapple said a long time ago that it’s best to use firearms. Damn it! Sure enough, we are going against the ‘Abyss Mineral Company’!”

"Yes, NPC weapons are too expensive and the quantity is limited. It is a complete sandbox mode. If you buy too much, the price will increase. Therefore, the Abyss Mineral Company must increase its production capacity to keep the price down. New players You can also make your first pot of gold through this.”

“Games make money and games spend money, I want to take them home...”

　　　…”

With some teasing, Shen Shi also entered the game and followed the path to the Novice Village back to the lobby of the Silver Fortress. He saw Okita Yurei in the corner who was recruiting the first batch of team members.

 At this time, he was still standing there shouting about some of the company’s benefits and benefits.

"... Dear brothers who have entered the closed beta test, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Those who join now are all veterans, and they can start learning crafts at the earliest. I have successfully obtained a complete set of handmade equipment building blueprints, as well as the latest Basic machine tool drawings, as long as our skills are improved, we don’t have to worry about facing a large number of new players even if we open closed beta or even open beta later. If we have the craftsmanship and skills in hand, we don’t have to worry about being eliminated..."

Qin thought of this kind of local tyrant, and a big game anchor such as Jiang Bo settled in. Bai Ji had enough publicity and exposure. In addition, the lobby of the birthplace of the birthplace here was constantly shouting.

 At least for players who want to take the life career route, their first thought will be here.

Shen Shi actually came here in this way.

 Seeing the dozen or so people gathered behind Okita Yuling, Shen Shi also felt that his judgment was correct.

 When he arrived nearby, someone immediately contacted Shen Shi alone, and the benefits and obligations were clearly explained.

 There are almost no mandatory restrictions, but in order to prevent you from making a wedding dress for others, you need to complete an electronic contract online for at least three years, and you have the priority to renew the contract after expiration.

However, the main constraint of electronic signing is competition. As long as you are not jumping to other companies or studios with competing products, even if you don't want to do it midway and want to take risks, you only need to say hello in advance.

 After all, it is a game. The three giants of the mineral company fully understand the players' thoughts and cannot impose too rigid restrictions.

 In reality, there is nothing you can do about some agreements, but in the game, you are not even afraid of death. If you are too rigid and harsh, it may have the opposite effect.

Anyway, taking into account the inclusive habits of World Corporation and Umbrella Corporation, their three founders also considered that they did not pursue maximization of profits, but more of 'influence', so in terms of profit sharing, Okita Yu Ling is a little confident.

The reason why we still need to sign an electronic agreement is mainly to prevent capital from suddenly coming in to "burn money" after the internal beta or public beta begins, and to forcefully poach people with subsidies that do not pay attention to profits.

“It’s okay. The agreement is very simple and clear, and there are no fixed tasks to be quantified. It’s pretty good...”

 After fully understanding the welfare benefits, Shen Shi also felt a little surprised, it was even better than he originally imagined!

 There are no indicators. Anyway, in the game, the more work you do, the more you get. Just like those life players who like to use their skills to create things, this can bring fun to many people.

Even if you don’t want to be a life player in the middle and want to go out for adventure, you can pick up your gun and rush out at any time without any restrictions!

“I signed, ID: Great Gentleman of Zaun.”

“Exiting the game will require your real-name authentication mobile phone to complete the subsequent steps of electronic signing. But now we can get familiar with the environment and process. It is best to find the one you like best. If you like it, it will last long.”

 Shen Shi followed the old man and began to familiarize himself with some processes before discovering that although this was the ‘Abyss Mineral Company’, it actually covered quite a wide range of areas.

 From raw material collection, refining, forging and manufacturing.

Those who like to go out can mine. Their boss has marked several rich mines nearby. Just find the container and dig back with good luck.

The smelting aspect seems to be waiting for Big Pineapple to invite his classmates to come over and engrave some smelting circles.

 Even some enchanting effects may be added to the mold in the later stage!

If you like it, Shen Shi actually feels that he likes magic more.

 But looking at his 10 points of mental power and the headache he felt after listening to several recorded lessons before, he still felt that he just needed to learn a little buff.

“I have 10 points of spiritual power. I wonder if it’s okay to focus on one or two enchanting effects?”

Shen Shi thought about it and chose his own direction.

 There is no doubt that mining is the least technical and difficult. You may have some experience and corresponding skills, but it is too easy to get started.

The same is true for forging, manufacturing, etc. In their promotion, they said they had obtained blueprints for elementary machine tools, which shows that their ambitions are still very high.

Realistic robots have already shown the gap between manpower and machinery. Even super soldiers with powerful attributes in the game may be difficult to fill.

In this case, mastering an irreplaceable craft is the best choice...

 Chapter 707

 Abyss, Enzo Territory.

At this time, a group of people were cautiously arriving at a hill outside Xinshou Village. The leader looked around cautiously and said.

"The location of this mining area is currently the most suitable place for initial mining in my opinion. Look at the machine gun tower over there. It is also within the fire coverage, so even though it is outside the village, it can still be mined, but how much You still have to pay attention.”

Okita Yurei personally led this group of people to find the way.

The location of this small hill actually doesn't look very good. There is a river of lava flowing next to it. The mountain also looks a bit steep. It is red as a whole and looks a bit sinister.

Okita didn't care about the environment at all. He squatted down and broke off a stone, weighed it in his hand and said

“The quality of the iron ore here is extremely high. As long as the magic furnace is completed, we can easily increase production. Pineapple is responsible for the magic here. Let’s prepare the preliminary work first.”

 At this time, Shen Shi also took the opportunity to ask.

“President, are the land and buildings occupied casually?”

"Of course not. I have inquired. Private construction is currently not allowed in the village. Buildings and facilities built by oneself outside the village are free, but there will be no 'protection'. In other words, if we build But it was snatched away by others, so there is nothing we can do about it, but we can pay to confirm the ownership. This fee is paid by Young Master Qin, which is equivalent to protection fees and land rent."

Hearing this, Shen Shi couldn't help but nodded. This game is really amazing. The degree of freedom is so high!

 The degree of freedom in "Star World" was already high enough before, but it is still not comparable to this.

And the design of these lava rocks is also so realistic, with the light and shadow effects and flow so realistic.

But maybe that’s why I chose this lava world with a relatively monotonous color, in order to save computing power.

I don’t know if there will be more colorful ones in the future.

“President, if I want to learn a few enchantment seals individually, should I also pick them out? Don’t I also need to learn mathematics?”

 Thinking of this, Shen Shi also had a headache.

"Haha, I know most of you don't have this patience, but it doesn't matter. I have consulted clearly. I am just learning a few specific spell models. In fact, it is completely possible to know what they are without knowing why. Just practice and practice makes perfect. , which is also the reason why in the career description you can practice both magic and martial arts without becoming a mage."

Okita Urei is very optimistic about this guy. It doesn't matter if you don't like mathematics, or if you're not used to studying. Just find your own position and work hard to do it!

 In fact, the most fearful thing is to do one thing half way and think that another one is good. Keep switching back and forth. Being able to study a technology painstakingly is also very promising.

 At present, combined with Big Pineapple, the spell model requires constant fine-tuning in details due to the magic tide of the abyss, so it cannot be achieved by machinery.

 Judging from some current tests, the physics engine of this game is probably perfect.

They have no idea how to develop a 'particle accelerator', 'controllable nuclear fusion', etc. But they are just developing manual machine tools, and then steam engines. With the help of magic, they should make rapid progress!

 So Shen Shi’s choice currently has greater potential.

Then Okita clapped his hands again and said to everyone

“Okay, now is not the time to mine. We have to get the prototype of the blast furnace out first. This is a hard job.”

 For this blast furnace, he spent money to hire professionals to design it!

Since the materials have to be made from scratch, there are a lot of instructions on what kind of clay to choose, how much water to add, and how to dry it.

 It is impossible for ordinary people to do this at once!

 Now, we have the upper hand!

 Just need to wait until Big Pineapple invites someone, and we will live together!

 …

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 bang

　　After kneading a ball of clay that had been stirred to the right level into a ball and throwing it aside, Okita truly felt the charm of the game itself.

 This is not much more fun than Minecraft!

 At this time, a group of them were just like a group of naughty children, having a great time playing in the mud.

“It’s so inefficient to move water like this. It would be great if we could lead a canal over. How about we dig one?”

  The six new water-resistant people put down their buckets and said with some complaints, "I want to play in the mud, I don't want to carry water."

“Good idea, but will it affect the humidity?”

"You won't be so perverted, will you?"

“I can’t say for sure, it’s a completely realistic style at the moment, I’m afraid it might really affect it.”

“Isn’t a big pineapple magical? Can’t magic fix it?”

"Magic can also directly build a house, but he has to be able to do it. Why don't you go learn some?"

 “No, I hate math.”

“Let’s dig it, Pineapple Dad said that he would suddenly learn the ‘Solidization Technique’ and prepare to specialize. We won’t make any big mistakes in outline and structure, and we will rely on him for later repairs...”

 “Long live!”

 …

　　When that group of mud-playing people suddenly threw all the burden of later repairs on Jiang Bo.

 At this time, Jiang Bo was also studying the follow-up content in a rather awkward manner in the classroom.

Mom!

I didn’t even work that hard in the college entrance examination, okay?

Are these things really for players to learn?

 The magic pattern structure of magic numbers, calculus, and solid geometry. When the spell model is introduced from the plane to the solid, the difficulty increases instantly!

But unfortunately, most of the flat models are basic structure models with little effect, designed to create effective spell models.

Even the simplest mage's hand is composed of a three-dimensional structure, including more than a hundred nodes and more than forty basic plane models.

"...So, for us mages, we not only need to know how to release spells, but also how they are formed. In this way, we can find a spell-casting method that suits us. It is famous for its cost-effectiveness and is often used by legendary mages. For the 'Fireball Technique', we have hundreds of model structures in our collection here alone, all of which have made some changes to the basic model that suit our own habits."

The red-skinned old mage stood on the podium and raised his hand casually to outline a complex three-dimensional pattern in the air.

 After saying this, he paused temporarily to allow the fifty people at the scene to have time to digest his words, and then continued again.

"Okay, let's stop talking about the theory for now. I believe that through this, you have also understood what the definition of a mage is. Next, we will teach another skill that is extremely important to a mage, meditation."

Hearing this, many students whose scalps were numb and who were going back to make up classes to see if they could understand the video playback also had their eyes lit up at this time.

 Meditation?

 Is it a skill?

  I don’t know what the effect is!

However, with the previous education and punishment, they all also know that the skills of this game are not something that you will master as soon as the instructor teaches you. You have to really 'learn' it yourself!

 Chapter 708 Details

 “This is meditation? It’s really amazing!”

After Jiang Bo opened his eyes again, he found that an hour had passed unknowingly, and he felt an unprecedented sense of fullness of energy.

 I even feel that my thoughts are much faster and my brain is much more flexible.

this…

 Is this something that can be used in reality?

 At this time, he saw some messages in the barrage.

 “Are you finally awake?”

“Brother, do you rely on deep sleep to play immersive games just to sleep?”

“But the expression on his face is very peaceful. Is it so magical?”

“What is the effect of the skill? Have you learned it?”

 “It won’t really be useful, will it?”

“I also followed the explanation to study it, and it seemed quite decent.”

　　　…”

　　An hour of meditating peacefully in front of the live broadcast obviously caused dissatisfaction among many fans, but there are also those who have not left and are still here who are curious.

 As Jiang Bo woke up, more and more people came back.

 Jiang Bo also responded solemnly:

“It’s really amazing! I really doubt that this meditation method is useful in reality! No, today’s teaching is over. I’ll try it offline. It feels so wonderful.”

 Jiang Bo completed the offline process happily as he did what he said.

 Woke up in bed again, took away the heavy helmet, and then gave instructions:

 “Ada, rearrange the camera and keep quiet.”

 After speaking, Jiang Bo took a long breath, began to maintain a meditative breathing rhythm, and tried again.

But then he frowned slightly and said

“I think it should be feasible, but I always feel that something is missing. Don’t worry, I will explain the gap in detail when the time comes…”

 After saying this, he began to try meditation again.

 It took about half an hour for him to enter a state that could be entered relatively quickly in the game, and then his face calmed down again and he entered meditation.

 This meditation is just one night.

 When he woke up again, he also felt a sense of fullness of spirit, a sense of active thoughts, not at all the heaviness after waking up.

 A great feeling of relaxation all over!

 Hurryly open the holographic screen and take a look. There are also a lot of complaints at this time.

 “Haha, I actually watched a man sleeping all night.”

“Is it really useful? Did anyone who tried it before come back with it?”

 “Finally woke up!”

 “What’s going on, tell me quickly!”

　　　…”

Jiang Bo saw that there were still so many fans who cared about him, so he also sent a big lucky bag, and then he said

“What Umbrella said was true. They really integrated some of their knowledge into the game! At least this meditation technique is really useful! But the effect is much worse than in the game..."

 Jiang Bo then began to explain his feelings one by one.

For example, when he was meditating in the game, he could really feel the beating of "natural magic". The feedback of the magic flowing through himself and blending in with himself made him very addicted to it.

However, if used in reality, the effect will be much worse, and there will be no magic or magic at all.

"Perhaps as Umbrella said, magic in normal nature is too rare. The game is a hypothetical world rich in magic in their setting. Hey, sometimes I really hope that reality can be like this. , maybe I can actually cast spells, haha~"

As time went by, a few fans who had tried repeatedly based on the tutorial videos and succeeded came back to report.

“It is effective in actual testing. It is better than Ankangding. I feel that I am much more awake. I tried to memorize the words and my efficiency improved a bit. I don’t know if it is an illusion.”

“I feel the same way, and my mood is very peaceful. No matter what, it is a good way to regulate my emotions.”

 “Awesome, worthy of Umbrella.”

“It should be a set of meditation methods summarized by Umbrella. In fact, meditation is also found in yoga and some sects, but I feel that it is not as popular as the one taught by Umbrella.”

　　　…”

Jiang Bo looked at the barrage and smiled.

“Yeah, it’s not as amazing as it is in the game when used in reality. You will know when you try it when you get the game. It feels quite comfortable, which is a benefit for mage players.”

But then he thought about it

“But it seems that non-mage players can also try meditation in the game. Well, I have to go back to the game to review. At least I have to learn the solidification technique.”

Thinking of this, Jiang Bo couldn't help but feel a headache again.

　　Received many messages from people

 “What’s that expression on your face?”

“That’s right, I don’t know how to be blessed when I am in the midst of blessings.”

“Although you paid to study, it feels like you’ve made a lot of money.”

“If you learn a skill outside, you will get 100 credits once. At least you can read the books in the classroom at will.”

“Even if most of the spells are only low-level, they are far more than what you paid.”

　　　…”

 Seeing these words, Jiang Bo laughed out loud while putting on his helmet again.

"That's right, but the more important thing about those books is not the spells, but some ideas and directions. It will be quite interesting after you learn them. But now that I have to solve a single spell, I am really on a pirate ship."

Jiang Bo returned to the game and opened his eyes again to find that half of the people in the classroom were still there. However, most of these half of the people were still in a meditative posture, and they were not sure whether they were meditating or offline.

The character will not go offline after the game is offline, but you can set some simple commands, such as where to go back, or where to sit, etc.

 Safety is generally guaranteed within Xinshou Village, but it is hard to say outside the village.

Jiang Bo also got up at this time, came to the bookshelf behind the classroom, and began to search along it. He soon found the book he was looking for, "The Evolution from Solidification Technique to Petrification Technique".

 The books in the classroom are all basic books, so no matter who reads them, they have to deal with their own subject. However, the teacher taught in class that some complex magic will have some written records of its own magic.

For example, runes, dragon language, elven language, etc., those need to be learned separately, but they are not something that early mages need to experience separately.

"Judging from the comprehensiveness of Umbrella's design, maybe what they got from the ruins really has 'Dragon Language', but maybe they haven't completed the translation yet..."

Jiang Bo thought while flipping through the book.

This thick book is about a series of spells, mainly explaining three spells.

 Solidification technique, turning mud into stone, petrification technique.

 Among them, the solidification technique is undoubtedly the simplest, but the first thing to explain is not the solidification technique, but the three most important standard models for the solidification technique. From the most basic details, it explains how to build the principle...

“Back then, if I had such enthusiasm for the college entrance examination, everything in Qingbei would be within my reach.”

While sighing, Jiang Bo also began to bite down.

Having learned the basic principles, he can still understand the beginning of this book...
