The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 312 Just tell me if he is handsome or not!
Will the game's tutorial just throw the player into one place and ignore them for 10 minutes?
Huodao blinked, a little bit incredulous.

He opened the game menu and checked the UI in disbelief, trying to see if he had overlooked any task prompts.

But it didn't.

The task list is empty.

"Could it be that I have to find clues myself and trigger subsequent tasks?"

He looked around the clearing in the forest. It was flat and had no valleys, only green grass.

Apart from being great for picnics, there's nothing unusual about the place.

He shook his head and dismissed the ridiculous idea.

"So... I really encountered a game bug, right?!"

Huo Dao immediately took a screenshot and sent it to the [Tai Dao Xia Global Friendship Association] group to seek help:
"Brothers, help me see where I've been fucked."

"I was teleported here directly from the tavern at the beginning. There was no one around. Was there a bug?"

The group members were very enthusiastic:
"Teleport? Didn't the opening scene show a tavern being torn apart and someone falling from the sky surviving a disaster?"

"Easter egg? Or bug?"

"Wait buddy, why does this place look familiar to me?"

"This place looks... so much like the Eternal Hunting Ground? You flew directly to the Eternal Hunting Ground from the beginning of the game? Are you a grade skipper?!"

"Just stand there and don't move. I'll be there soon!"

……

Huodao looked at the responses from his group members and his head was full of question marks.

"Go directly into the [Eternal Hunting Ground]?"

"But isn't [Eternal Hunting Ground] a multiplayer PVP mode?"

"Will a friend of the group really come over and hack me to death?"

I'm still unarmed!

After a while, to Huodao's stunned attention, a man actually emerged from the woods and rushed towards him with a huge axe!

Huo Dao quickly said, "We are one people! Don't shoot... I mean, don't do it!"

The other side showed no intention of stopping.

Huo Dao then took off running, quickly leaving the grass and rushing into the woods.

While running, he shouted: "We are all members of the [National Association of Sword Warriors]!"

"If you don't want to help me, that's fine, but there's no need to kill me, right?!"

He kept talking, and once he said it, the guy on the other side exploded on the spot—

As he stretched out his left arm, a translucent blue fluorescent flying insect flew up into the sky at a high speed from the arm armor, and a rope made of light connected the flying insect and the arm armor together.

The next second, the brother was pulled into the sky by the rope!

Huo Dao looked up in shock, just in time to see a flash of light from the giant axe in his hand.

"I hate people who play with katana the most!"

The old man raised the giant axe with both hands, and made a super jump attack from the sky at Huodao's head!
Fire Knife didn't have time to react at all and took full damage!

Only a little bit of blood is left.

Seeing him so angry, Huo Dao was very confused and couldn't help asking:
"What happened to you, the one who plays with the sword?"

He really didn't know, so he asked sincerely.

But the guy on the other side got even angrier!

"Fuck you!"

With a roar of anger, he swung his axe and chopped him into pieces.

Until Huodao died suddenly, no one knew why this guy had such a strong grudge against Taidao players.

……

"Hey! What are you looking at?"

"Are you here to investigate the cause of the rainforest disaster?"

A familiar voice woke Huo Dao from his state of question marks.

He returned to the tavern where the game opened, and the lively adventurer girl greeted him enthusiastically.

"Oh, yes, that's right." Fire Knife replied.

This time he didn't mess around, but answered the questions methodically and advanced the plot.

At the same time, thinking that the game was over, I asked the Dream Customer Service what had happened just now.

Why was it switched to multiplayer mode?

——He asked his group members again, and it was indeed the map of the Eternal Hunting Ground mode.

The person who hacked him to death was another player.

The group member who said he was coming to look for him said very loyally: "I'm already here! Wait! I'm going to avenge you now!"

The game has been in testing for a week, and all beta testers have completed the mission and unlocked the [Eternal Hunting Ground] mode.

Nanaka's [Portkey] also came in handy—

You don't have to log in to Monster Hunter and can queue up for a match directly in the login space.

But that's all...

When she entered this mode, the situation she encountered was similar to that of the Fire Knife, where she was always hacked to death before she could gather all her equipment.

This caused her to lose interest in this mode, and she spent more energy on cultivating her spirit.

Many players are similar to Qihuahua, each has their own interests.

Therefore, the [Eternal Hunting Ground] mode is not very lively, and there are usually only 2 to 3 games open at the same time, so the probability of running into group friends is quite high.

Huodao was hacked to death for no apparent reason, which was a bit unpleasant.

Of course I was very happy to see that my group members were helping me vent my anger, and I sent them a red envelope of 50 yuan to express my gratitude.

"I saw him!"

"Wait for my good news!"

The brother rushed forward with full confidence.

……

40 seconds later, the brother popped up again:

"..."

"Sorry, I didn't win."

"I tried my best, but he was too strong."

【Fire Knife】: “…”

You bastard! Give me back the red envelope I sent you!!
"Tachi...is it really that powerful?" Huodao couldn't help but question.

The group members immediately corrected his idea:

"Of course! Super strong! Handsome and strong!"

"Don't doubt it! He lost just because he's bad!"

"Yes! As long as every strike of your sword hits the target, the damage will explode!!"

Huo Dao was convinced again. So after arriving at the investigation base and unlocking the weapon change function, he immediately changed to the sword and entered the training ground.

In "Monster Hunter", Dream Building provides two combat modes.

One is the traditional action mode available on all platforms - releasing specific attack actions and derivative skills through fixed buttons.

The other is the [Free Mode] which is only available on the Fantasy game platform.

In [Free Mode], players can break free from the constraints of fixed actions and fight as they please.

Of course, the weapon's specific attack skills still need to be triggered by a fixed starting action.

For the katana, it means [Whirling Slash] to sharpen the blade, [Thrust] to ascend the dragon, [Sheath] to perform Iai Slash, and [Block + Jump] to see through.

"Hmm...it seems pretty simple."

Huodao nodded, feeling that he understood.

If you play on PC or console, you also need to remember the moves corresponding to the buttons, as well as some derived actions.

But the Fantasy Gaming Platform is much simpler.

"To put it simply, just attack without thinking, and when you have enough rage, you can do a big spin to add buffs. The buffs are divided into three stages: white, yellow, and red. They increase damage, and you can also stab and then step on the monster to jump into the air."

"You can use Iai after charging the sword, and you will be invincible if you block and jump."

"I understand it completely."

Huodao embarked on the hunting trip with full confidence.

The first hunting target: the thief dragon.

Huo Dao looked at the thief dragon rushing towards him at full speed, and immediately sheathed his sword and began to accumulate strength!
Save! Save! Save!
After charging for several seconds, until the thief dragon rushed to his face, Huo Dao realized a problem - the charging slot did not move at all!

Only then did he remember to block and jump, but when he had half of his knife in hand, he was hit in the chest by the thief dragon and flew away.

As the character flew out, Huo Dao rubbed his chest.

After getting up, he recalled briefly and realized: "I have to chop once before I can start accumulating power!"

He rushed forward and slashed at the thief dragon, then sheathed the knife and charged—

"Ouch!"

The thief dragon bit it off in one bite!

There was a pain in the chest, and the power accumulation was interrupted.

"It's okay, I'm an old player and my mentality is invincible!" Huodao started over again.

This time he avoided the front and slashed the thief dragon on the side, then sheathed the knife and charged—

The thief dragon rolls sideways!

There was a pain in his shoulder, and his energy was interrupted again.

“……” Huo Dao was speechless for a moment.

"Forget it, this one is a bit hard to grasp the opportunity, let's try something else."

Fire Knife began to try to sharpen the blade and step on the monster to fly into the sky.

……

Another few minutes passed.

Huodao felt a dull pain in his chest, shoulders, lower back, arms, and buttocks.

After failing eight times in a row, before his mentality completely exploded, he finally succeeded in stabbing and hitting the thief dragon with the blade buff, and raised his foot in time to step on the thief dragon's leather armor!
then--

He finally saw all the scenery around him falling down instantly!

He is flying!

"Eat! My! Knife!" Huodao roared!

The sword glows scarlet!
After this difficult success, he attacked angrily, and with the roar of the fire knife, he hit the thief dragon's side with a hair's breadth of error!

"bump!"

dusty.

The thief dragon took advantage of the situation and slashed out with his claws, causing the young swordsman to stagger.

“Fuck you!!!!”

The fire knife completely broke through the defense.

Forget about sharpening the blade and storing power, just rush forward with the sword and start slashing!
No dodging, no evasion, one strike after another!

Until the thief dragon fell down with a wail.

Huo Dao looked at the fallen Thief Dragon without any joy, only a face full of question marks -

"This boss, is it so simple?"

"No advanced skills are needed at all?"

"No... This is just the first monster. When we encounter stronger bosses later... Can those skills really be used???"

He finally understood the meaning of the sentence in the group: "As long as every knife hits the target, the damage will be explosive!"

So if you miss consecutively, the damage will drop directly to the basement level?

He couldn't help but ask in the group: "Can you guys use high-damage moves when playing with the katana? It seems that the boss is a bit hyperactive and it's hard to hit him?"

Friends answer:

"Don't worry about whether you hit the target or not, just tell me if he looks handsome or not!!"

You big head ghost!!
Huodao sent an emoji of a yellow bean man sweating and silently closed the group chat.

He felt that he should change his weapon.

But before that, he had to rest for a while.

——After this hunting trip, the middle-aged man’s exercise volume has exceeded the limit.

He sat down, opened the game feedback channel, and asked what the previous "teleportation" was about.

But at this time, he found that he had received a dream-building email.

"Compensation for game bugs detected?"

"Moving so fast?"

Huodao opened the letter with some surprise.

But the content of the letter was completely different from what he imagined.

Dear players:

After reading this short email, Huodao was stunned.

“Why does game testing affect going abroad?”
