My Player 2

Chapter 7: Soul Wandering

Each game has different considerations for what kind of UI to provide to players.

For example, in a first-person FPS game, only small icons containing information will be placed on the top, bottom, left and right edges of the screen to ensure that players can focus on real-time battlefield information.

As for MMORPG, even if there are dozens of skill icons to be placed, they will try their best to ensure blank space in the middle of the screen.

In the era of holographic games, the game UI will be hidden even deeper.

Because the holographic simulation helmet can read the player's brain waves and does not require button operation, the game will hide the UI to reduce text information outside the screen.

Generally speaking, if it is not specially set up, players of some games cannot even see their own health bars, let alone display other people's information.

In order to distinguish between players and NPCs, most holographic games will give players and NPCs completely different painting styles.

Because of this, old players who have formed the habit will subconsciously regard humans on the ground as players.

"Is this an NPC?"

As the elf's voice sounded, everyone began to pay attention to the humans on the ground.

【Name: Li Li】

[Race: Human]

[Occupation: God of Creation]

【Level: 1】

[Rank: None]

【characteristic:? ? ? 】

【Attributes:? ? ? 】

【Skill:? ? ? 】

【Favourability: 0】

"It seems like a god incarnate."

The Half-Winged Celestial named "Golden Wind" flapped his golden single wing.

"God of Creation... Which version of NPC is this? I don't think I've heard of it before?"

Another elf player asked.

Qian Peng glanced at the comments in the live broadcast room and found that the viewers didn’t recognize him either.

So he opened the external web page, searched for a while and said:
"It should be a new NPC. There is no such character in Desperate Expedition."

"Li Li... I remember that the first reservation interface on the game's official website was the recruitment letter he wrote." The Shadow Clan member named 'Broken Leg' stepped forward, walked in front of the elf, and stretched out his hand, saying, "Let me nurse him and try?"

The elf hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly handed over Li Li, muttering softly:

"Forget it, let's not commit suicide for now."

"Broken Leg" took Li Li from the elf's arms and inserted his ink-black palm into the shadow on the ground.

The next moment, darkness as thick as oil began to flow down from his fingertips.

[You used "Dark Devotion" on Li Li, applying a 10-point health recovery effect.]

[Because of your treatment, Li Li's favorability towards you increased by +10. ]

"It seems that the racial characteristics of ShadowClan are the same as the original."

Golden Wind, who was observing from the side, turned to look at the wind element player and asked curiously:

"Brother Feng, what about you? Can you fly?"

The "Eighth Force Gale" howled, "I can't even stand!"

Only when the five daily [Shadow Points] were used up did Broken Leg stop healing, feeling refreshed and saying:

"Not bad, I didn't spend a penny and earned 14 points of favorability from the gold NPC."

As a member of the Shadow Clan, he originally had a body like Kuro in Conan, but after consuming his daily [Shadow Points], his skin became exactly the same as that of humans.

After a while, Li Li on the ground opened his eyes and sat up in a daze.

He looked like he had worked overtime for several days in a row and was forced to work hard by his wife at home. He exuded a heartfelt sense of fatigue.

"Successful?" he muttered to himself, rubbing his eyes.

“Of course.” Golden Wind placed his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly. His broad golden wings spread out and covered his left body. He gave an impeccable celestial salute. “Your Excellency, the God of Creation, on behalf of the Golden Wind Guild, I greet you.”

As soon as the voice fell, another human female player who looked like an elementary school student also stepped forward, holding up the non-existent hem of her skirt, and saluted:
"Magical girl 'Kuri Tobi', I come in response to your call. I will cleanse all evil and bring back the sparkle for the world."

Qian Peng glanced at the two inexplicable people, and suddenly thought of something, and followed with a not-so-standard knight salute. "I am 'Amu Xiao', and I look forward to clearing the obstacles ahead for you."

[You introduced yourself to Li, and Li's favorability towards you increased by +1. ]

really!

Qian Peng's eyes lit up.

After ten major versions of "Desperate Expedition OL", the total number of living NPCs does not exceed 50, so there is no favorability system.

But "Glory Expedition" is different!

Just when Qian Peng was secretly feeling proud, the Asian dragon who was playing with his tail suddenly exclaimed:
"Salute and increase favorability? Big Bird, you are so mean, why didn't you tell us!"

As he shouted, other players also responded and introduced themselves.

"Why are they all named after flowers..."

After everyone introduced themselves, Li Li finally calmed down a little. He stood up with the help of the wall and threw something out.

"Amuxiao, next, because of this thing of yours, I was almost drained dry."

Qian Peng took the thing that was thrown to him, which was a thumb-sized hourglass.

【Ember (Amu Owl)】

[Effect of item: After use, it can restore the full strength of "Time Palace Knight Amu Xiao" within 1 hour. 】

[Item Introduction: It is rumored that a knight who conquered time came to this world at the cost of setting himself on fire.

There are still embers left after the burnt firewood.

But this is the end. 】

"Golden props!"

The Argonians were shouting again.

Qian Peng's mouth twisted, and he suddenly had the urge to turn off the live broadcast.

"OK OK."

Li Li clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention, and explained:

"I only have this thing right now. As for the [Embers] of others... I'll talk about it after I recover my strength."

Several days of all-night experiments consumed more than 300 points of Li Li's [Faith]. After deducting the 10 points consumed in creating 100 bodies, Li Li had nearly 1400 points of [Faith] reserved for backup.

However, when summoning the first soul projection, Li Li unexpectedly discovered that the soul projections of these Blue Star people contained some unknown power.

He tried to materialize this power, but instantly consumed all his stored [Faith], and then began to draw power from His source, almost draining his body into a mummy.

Thinking of this, Li Li's heart sank.

Without his reserve of [Faith], he would not be able to revive these people...

These ordinary people who have been ruined by modern society may not even be able to hold a knife unless they die several times in succession.

That's why he gave the Embers to these newly arrived Blue Star people, hoping that they could make good use of this power and help him plunder enough start-up capital.

Taking a deep breath, Li Li looked at these Blue Star people of different appearances and read out the prepared speech:
"I think you should know that I summoned you to this world, and the reason I summoned you is to hire you to clean up the pollution in this world."

"As for the means of decontamination—"

“It’s killing.”

"There are countless monsters wandering in the wasteland outside the alliance. They will all become the achievements you engrave with your sword."

"Every time you defeat a monster, you will take away the corresponding faith. When you have collected enough faith, you can come back to me or find my saint. We will transform this faith into power and make you stronger."

"Is that understandable?"

Everyone nodded.

Qian Peng, who was standing at the front, stepped forward and asked after being reminded by the barrage:
"If we accidentally die, what will happen to the stored faith?"

"It will dissipate, but if I can bring the body back, I can still recover the faith." Li Li replied.

Now everyone really understood.

You will lose souls when you kill monsters, and you need to find a saint to upgrade. When you die, the burden will be cleared.

——It’s the wandering soul.

　Someone come and check my teeth.
