Chapter 10 The Correct Way to Play Hardcore Games
Chapter 10 The Correct Way to Play Hardcore Games
early morning--
Xiao Jie sat in front of the computer, looking at the game icon on the screen. He was stunned for a moment.
The bright sunshine coming in from the window gives the entire living room, which serves as a studio, a warm tone, making it particularly cozy.
It seemed as if everything that happened yesterday was just a nightmare, but looking at the empty Han Luo's room next door, Xiao Jie knew that everything was real.
The scene of Han Luo's tragic death kept appearing before his eyes.
When Wuji Studio was disbanded, everyone left except Han Luo, who was his closest brother and best friend.
I followed him wholeheartedly, and now he has been killed by someone. I can't just let this go.
Not to mention, the other party obviously wanted to kill him.
"Liu Qiang! Just wait for me! I'm going to kill you!" Xiao Jie said to himself. If he were asked to kill someone for revenge in reality, it might be a difficult task, but if he was asked to kill someone in the game, he would never be afraid of anyone!
He took a deep breath and it was time to start the game.
His eyes stayed on the game icon for a moment, and Xiao Jie's eyes gradually became resolute, and he clicked it hard.
After entering the game, with the sound of familiar music, the gloomy and quiet village appeared in front of Xiao Jie's eyes again.
Looking at the vivid and quaint village in front of him, Xiao Jie was originally just amazed at the realism of the game graphics, but now everything in front of him has a sense of mystery and weirdness.
What is the origin of this game? It can interfere with reality? It can even kill people. What kind of truth is hidden behind it?
He couldn't help but think so in his heart.
But Xiao Jie knew very well that this was definitely not something he could figure out at the moment. The most urgent task was how to gain power from the game.
Upgrade levels, accumulate equipment, and learn skills.
He looked at the desolate village around him, his eyes full of solemnity and seriousness.
He did not act in a hurry, but thought silently.
How do you play a game with only one life?
Speaking of which, Xiao Jie is not unfamiliar with this kind of hardcore mode game. He has played some games with similar modes in the past, including expert mode, hardcore mode, and honor mode. In essence, they do not give players any chance to start over. Once the game character dies, the game is over.
But after thinking about it carefully, Xiao Jie realized that the games in the past were completely incomparable to the game in front of him.
No matter how severe the death penalty is, the worst that can happen is that you can just create a new account and start over. Although the death penalty for account cancellation is severe, it is nothing compared to the death of a real person.
The game in front of us is a true 'one life mode'. Once you die, not only the game character dies, but also yourself. You must not have the slightest chance of luck.
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Xiao Jie first checked the attributes of his character.

Xiao Jie looked at his attribute column. He didn't care about it before, but now he noticed something strange. His attributes were mixed, and not a fixed value.
Obviously, this data did not appear randomly, and it is very likely a reflection of him.
Xiao Jie speculated that the average attribute of ordinary people should be around 10 points.
From this point of view, my attributes are pretty satisfactory. The more outstanding ones are Agility 12, Spirit 12, Comprehension 13, and Luck 12. The other attributes are not very good, especially Faith, which has only a pitiful 7 points.
He pondered for a moment and quickly summed up the first rule of the game, which is - hide.
You must never take any unnecessary risks. You must take risks only when you are fully prepared and only fight when you are absolutely sure of winning. This game is so ridiculously difficult and the monsters at the entrance of the village are so powerful that going out to take risks rashly is courting death.
You must develop slowly, upgrade yourself as much as you can, get a set of novice equipment, complete all the skills you can learn and the tasks you can do in the village, and wait until you have a certain foundation before going out on an adventure.
Moreover, if the village has tasks such as delivering letters, running errands and collecting materials, which can increase the level by gaining experience without fighting, then it would be great. It would be safer to level up a few levels in the village and get a decent set of equipment.
If you want to do it, just do it. Xiao Jie started wandering around the village.
Although the village is not big, it has everything it needs. It is protected by a wooden wall with a watchtower built on the wall and guarded by militiamen, giving people a sense of security.
At least in the village, there is no need to worry about the threat of monsters.
There is a blacksmith shop, a carpentry workshop, a grocery store selling goods on poles, and a food store selling food in the village. The wooden racks outside one of the houses are hung with animal furs, which must be the property of a hunter.
Xiao Jie walked around and had an idea in his mind.
The first thing he had to do was to go to the blacksmith shop to check out the equipment that could be purchased.
The owner of the blacksmith shop was a muscular, bearded man who was hammering a sword blank on the anvil.
A fat black man was smelting iron ingots nearby.
Xiao Jie walked straight towards the blacksmith.
"My dear brother, I want to pick a handy weapon to go out of the village and kill monsters. Do you have any recommendations?"
The bearded man put down his hammer and said in a rough voice, "Hey, you're asking the right question. The weapons I sell here are the best within a ten-mile radius. I wonder what kind of weapons you are good at?"
Although it was not the first time that Xiao Jie had talked to the NPC in the game through the screen, this feeling still made him feel very magical.
"I've never fought much before, so I'm not good at any kind of weapons."
"Is that so? Then just take a look around, little brother."
A trading bar popped up in front of me, and a row of dazzling swords and armors were presented very intuitively, with prices marked below.
Iron sword: 200 wen.
Iron-inlaid shield: 150 Wen.
Fine iron spear: 240 Wen.
The Lancet: 180 coins.
Demon-head broadsword: 300 Wen.
Hunting bow: 260 Wen.
Snake-spine longbow: 680 Wen.
Leather armor: 300 Wen.
Iron-studded leather armor: 450 Wen.
Iron Leaf Armor: 800 Wen.
Iron helmet: 600 Wen.
Fine Steel Long Sword (Excellent): 1000 Wen...
The equipment is quite complete, not only swords, guns, bows and arrows, but also various armors for sale.
Xiao Jie calculated that in order to get a decent set of equipment and buy some blood medicine supplies, he would need at least 1000 coins in starting capital.
If you want to get a set of top-level novice equipment, you'll need at least three or four thousand coins. It seems like a long and arduous journey, and you must first find a way to make money.
As for how to make money, Xiao Jie already had a plan in mind, so he decided to ask the old village chief yesterday.
