Golden Experience

Episode 16: Wayne, Standing on the Meadows

- Well, I guess I'll start with the character makeup.

Get home from work, start your own VR equipment, and finish meals, baths, and other chores while you warm up. This VR machine is state-of-the-art, with different exteriors but also high performance machines used in the medical industry and elsewhere. Although the average salaried man earns about twice as much per year, his salary, which the workplace has to go to the actual site rather than on VR space, is at a level that only allows him to purchase it. It's called high pay.

There is also a modern day where VR technology is popular and most humans no longer even have to leave the house, but there is still a staff that has to be on the ground. Even medical work is done using VRs, but support staff will be needed locally, such as surgery or hospitalization, when patients have to be moved to a healthcare provider. He was in that kind of profession.

Due to its working form, the detention time is longer in terms of attendance time, etc., than salaried persons of other common occupations, etc. Thus the time to play the game, his only hobby, is shorter. He had covered the handouts by putting paychecks into peripherals and in-game billing.

This state-of-the-art VR machine was also prepared for the game you are about to log in to. A closed test conducted under a complete information blockade, he entered and passed that test and enjoyed the game for a short time. Totally fascinated by the game, he decided to buy this machine by breaking his savings for the game. I was hoping you could make it by the start of the official service, but it arrived just before the open beta test and I finished setup yesterday to get to work today.

He finishes character creation with roughly the same build as he did during the closed test, and his character name "Wayne" dives into the game world. I didn't get enough experience and magic skills because I chose "beauty" for something like "innate characteristics" of the new system, but if I started the game and hunted for a few days, I would be able to get one or two of the magic.

- Come on, it's the beginning of an adventure in another world.

An hour later, he was finally standing down on the meadow.

"Why are they taking an hour in the tutorial... A closed tester could give me a tutorial exemption or something."

In the supporting AI description of the tutorial, it was basically all about worldviews and the atmosphere in the game. That doesn't have to be said now for him, who perfectly did the closed test, and he had no discomfort whatsoever in treating NPCs the same way as humans to the very high degree of completeness of AI he saw at the time of the test.

There is no difference between NPC and PC.

"I mean, I don't think I can handle it very well from the start because I can't tell this game PC from NPC on the system. Most people."

Even at the time of the closed test, open-air merchants who thought it was NPC and came into contact with each other were actually players specializing in production, and then player-made items could no longer be sold by anyone, and at the end of the day, player failures that stopped logging into the test were told on the dedicated bulletin board.

Returning his mind, Wayne looked over the meadow. I can see the city in the distance.

It was one of the nations of the human species [Hills] that Wayne chose as his early starting country. Hills is a sea-facing country, with mountains and basins, however, and flourishes especially in the primary industry, starting with agriculture. It also transports timber and ore cut out of the mountains throughout the country by water transport using three large rivers flowing into the country. Since one of the rivers runs to the largest fishing port in the country, it also plays a role in exporting domestic produce and so on. Blacksmiths are also flourishing due to abundant water sources and fuels derived from wood, and no industry is bad at this. It is a stable country, not particularly wealthy, but also free of extreme poverty.

Wayne chose this country because of the good security that comes from its stable national power, but he started in this country at the time of the closed test. Many players choose this country for an early start because it's a beginner or a country where it's easy for players to work something right after the game starts.

Wayne quickly took the beginner's one-handed sword out of the inventory and stuck it on his hips. I might have gotten some shield gear if I had chosen 'Shield', but these games don't work even if I seem to get my hands on a lot of things from the start. At first, you should specialize in one thing and firmly define your style.

Wayne had taken the skills' One Handed Sword 'and' Parry ', and' Jun Min 'and the rest was swinging to STR and AGI. A typical light warrior. All of them are looking to acquire magic and how to fight the magic warrior system. For this reason, a human with a balanced initial value for the parameter had been chosen.

According to the tutorial, between here and that city, there should only be monsters out there that Wayne can afford to fight right now. Let's say the beginning is based in that city and work for a while to earn experience and money.

As I approached the city, I could see the woods snugly across the city. Probably a demonic realm. It looks like a city close to the realm of demons, and you can also see the fairly solid walls. Wayne's unknown city, but where the initial starting position will be is random, so there's no choice.

In countries with unstable politics, poor countries, etc., it is not possible to prepare these walls in the city even close to the realm of demons. Or they don't get permission from the state to build city walls. Hills doesn't do that. Nevertheless, there are just about a periphery close to the realm of demons and a king's capital.

In that forest, you'll be able to earn experience and do gold without any problems. It's a forest close to its initial starting position. I don't even think there's such a strong demon.

"Whoa, wild rabbit."

Looks and names are just wild rabbits, but if you're caught off guard, you can take damage. You won't just die, but that's also a story if you're caught off guard. Wayne's build and player skills allow him to complete his initial gear with no damage.

Wild Rabbit's body sinks in for a moment.

"'Parry'!

Match 'Parry' to the flying wild rabbit. Attacks on the Peripheral System suffer Reflective Damage if defended, and collapse if dodged. "Parry" divides evasion or defense judgment between success and failure, but if successful, evasion judgment.

Wild Rabbit was disfigured and exposed to sides full of gaps.

"Yo! Sora!

Wayne poked a one-handed sword in a row and defeated Wild Rabbit.

When the status screen was displayed, slight EXP was obtained.

"At this pace, you don't know when you'll remember magic. I knew we'd go to the city and try to get settled in the woods."

More importantly, it takes time to earn experience.

Once MMORPG was just a title that focused on how to enrich the end content and extend the game by supplying new gear and items to players whose character's growth has been kansted. But gradually, users got tired of those business models, and the young man's game away became screamed.

In the meantime, VR technology has leaped all at once, and the game has become an era of fully immersive VRs. In an era where players can actually play with a sense of moving their bodies, the game of the former style did not fit, and the industry was to be asked to play a new style of game.

That's how it has risen, not a long game since the player character's growth has been kansted, but a game that will require a huge amount of time for the player character to kanst in the first place. Nothing happened, the game was fashionable with player characters growing up quickly, simply because "the process of player characters growing wasn't interesting".

Developments in VR technology began to allow more games to be enjoyed as well as the character's growth itself, and end-content-type games disappeared.

Against that backdrop, modern game freaks began to enjoy not advancing XP earnings and even level increases as of late.

"When we get to the city, we need to find an inn and rent a room first. Then go to the mercenary union and see if there are any forest quests..."

Serving Wild Rabbit's body in the inventory, Wayne began walking again toward the city. I hunted a few wild rabbits by the time I got to the city.
