Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

……

Seeing that the group had started repeating, Yu Shui also clicked +1 and opened the link.

As soon as you enter the webpage, you are greeted by four big words.

'Codename: Dawn'

Behind the four big characters is a large ink-and-wash painting, on which are two blurry figures walking in the rain, with warm-toned mountains, rivers, and seas in front of them and a cool-toned city in the rain behind them.

"The background picture is quite nice..." Yu Shui nodded, "It probably also contains some metaphors."

He admired the background image for a moment and then scrolled down the page.

Before playing a game, Yu Shui is used to reading the game introduction and basic settings first. If these things don't impress him, then it doesn't matter how good the game's graphics are.

After all, technology is more advanced now, and high-quality art has basically become standard.

However, there is not much information about the game on the official website, and most of the information is riddles, so he can only get a general idea of ​​it now.

"I always feel that this setting is a bit old-fashioned." Yu Shui pinched his chin, his eyes still scanning back and forth on the phone.

Demons invaded the world, the indigenous people of the world failed to resist, and then the resistance forces fell apart. In the end, only scattered gathering places were left for humans to survive.

"It's only slightly interesting that the demon can replace the human identity. I don't know if I can choose the demon identity."

Yu Shui flipped through the official website, but didn't see any optional professions or optional forces.

"I don't think I can choose." He shook his head slightly, "That doesn't seem very competitive..."

"Forget it, just consider it as supporting the group members. There aren't many games to play lately anyway."

Yu Shui didn't think much about it, and found the appointment button in the upper right corner. After filling in the appointment information, he sent his mobile phone number to Tang Yi in a private message.

……

Number of reservations: 7

"Well, now the players are done."

Tang Yi looked at the increasing number of reservations in the background and nodded slightly. Then he checked a few players to confirm the issuance of the helmets. Then he closed the panel and added some wood to the campfire in front of him.

"It'll take some time to ship the gaming helmet over, so I'll just do some minor repairs around here in the next few days."

"Oh yeah, I also need to talk to Keyu about what needs to be done next. I'll let her handle the incoming missions. A female NPC should be able to make those 'animals' work harder."

He looked back at the little head leaning on his shoulder, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.

"Then there are player rewards and early mission planning..."

Tang Yi looked back at the river and forest in the distance, and then continued to revise the player quest line he had planned for a long time in his mind.

Time passed quietly, and soon, a ray of light appeared in the distant horizon, and then the light spread to both sides, gradually filling the sky.

Chapter 4 Doctor Cai

"About a hundred years ago, countless demons descended upon this world, killing and harming all living things and bringing disaster to the human race."

"To resist foreign enemies, all humans formed an alliance and declared war on the demons, determined to recapture lost territory and drive out the demons."

"We don't know how long the war lasted. We only know that at the beginning, the situation was very good. The demons were being beaten back step by step, and peace seemed to be just around the corner, within reach."

"Until... news of the decisive defeat arrived from the front lines."

"It turns out that some demons can absorb human memories and transform into human form. They lurk among the allied forces and strike back at the crucial moment of the decisive battle."

"A devastating defeat on the front lines, the enemy launched a massive counterattack. Overnight, the alliance fell apart, and demons ravaged the continent..."

Having said that, Tang Yi sighed softly, then skillfully turned off the recording, and turned to look at the girl who was slowly eating dry food beside him.

"Keyu, have you read the history records of Yunhe Town? Is there anything different from what I just said?"

When Xia Keyu heard Tang Yi calling her, she stopped eating. She immediately put down her hands and tried hard to swallow the food in her mouth. Then she looked up and recalled for a while, and finally looked back at Tang Yi.

"My mother taught me when I was a kid, it's basically the same."

"Yeah." Tang Yi nodded. "The historical records in the Northwest region are indeed similar."

After saying that, he went over the voice he had just recorded again, and added some effects to make his voice sound older and heavier.

"Not bad, not bad, this will be the opening remarks of the game..."

Seeing that Tang Yi started talking to himself again, Xia Keyu picked up the dry food again and silently quickened her eating pace.

Although their task today was not heavy, the two of them just had to work together to repair the dilapidated hut behind them.

But this wooden house has been abandoned for too long. After sorting out the scattered wood in the house yesterday, Tang Yi found that the remaining wood seemed to be only enough to repair the roof. The wood for repairing the walls and the door still had to be obtained locally today.

Fortunately, there are many trees nearby.

"Crack--"

"Boom!!"

The tree, as thick as a thigh, shook a few times and finally fell to the ground under Tang Yi's push.

"Huh...that's almost enough."

Tang Yi raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, then turned to look at the pile of wood next to the wooden house, and the girl who was dragging half a tree with difficulty back to the house.

"Oh!"

Xia Keyu put the wood in her hand next to the woodpile, then held her knees with both hands and took a few deep breaths. Then she immediately stood up and trotted towards Tang Yi.

Looking at the girl's obviously tired figure, Tang Yi shook his head helplessly.

Let's take a break. It's still early...

"Dong dong dong dong..."

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps in the woods behind him.

Tang Yi's eyes changed, and he immediately pulled out the iron sword stuck in the soil with his right hand.

"who!"

Before he finished speaking, a ragged middle-aged man rushed out from the woods not far away.

When the middle-aged man saw Tang Yi, he was obviously surprised at first, but his feet did not stop moving for a second.

"Run! There's a demon!"

Before he could finish his words, two monsters, about half a man's height, with a row of spikes on their backs and two sickle-like claws on both sides of their heads, rushed out.

"Roar!"

"Whoosh!"

A sound of breaking air passed by the middle-aged man's side, and a fist-sized stone flew straight towards one of the monsters.

"Oh!"

Centered between eyebrows.

The monster was forced to stop running, and when the other monster saw that there was suddenly a human in front of it, it also silently slowed down its pace and grinned.

"This is Graythorn, the fastest inferior demon." Tang Yi stared at the two hoarse and grinning demons in front of him and whispered to the middle-aged man who stopped beside him, "Running is useless against them."

After saying that, he glanced at the hatchet in the man's hand.

"Can I fight?"

The middle-aged man looked at the two demons who were eyeing him hungrily, then looked at Tang Yi and gritted his teeth.

"can!"

"it is good."

Tang Yi nodded, then took a step forward with the sword in his hand. The sword drew a semicircle in the air, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at one of the gray thorns.

"Roar!"

No demon could tolerate being provoked like this by humans.

Almost at the same time, the two gray thorns kicked their hind legs hard, and then rushed straight towards the two people like two cannonballs.

"One for each of you. Just don't die. I'll finish it quickly and come help you."

Tang Yi finished speaking quickly, and before the middle-aged man could reply, two gray thorns had already rushed in front of them.

The sharp claws, carrying a fishy wind, swung towards Tang Yi's chest fiercely. Tang Yi held up the iron sword to block the attack.

Then he turned sideways, first dissipating most of the impact force of the gray thorn claws, and then turned the sword blade and swung it violently!

The tip of the sword passed over Gray Thorn's neck as if there was no obstruction, and gray blood splattered along with the tip of the sword.

The hideous head and body separated instantly.

Kill with one blow!

There was no pulling or tugging, no back and forth movements.

The game between life and death often takes only a moment.

Seeing its companion die, the other gray thorn became even more ferocious. It completely abandoned defense and wanted to fight to the death. The middle-aged man could not resist for a while and was scratched on the right arm by a claw.

When the opponent saw blood, Gray Thorn's attack became more crazy. He swung his claws again, and the tip of his claws just passed the middle-aged man's neck.

Cold sweat oozed from the middle-aged man's back. He wanted to swing the hatchet immediately, but he had no strength at all.

At this moment, the sharp claws that attacked again were approaching his chest.

It's over. I didn't expect that I, Cai Cheng, would be on the run today...

"Whoosh!"

A silver light flashed, and the gray thorn that was originally leaping in the air instantly flew out at an angle, and its body fell to the ground beside it, raising some smoke and dust.

An iron sword was stuck in its head, and it struggled for a while before becoming motionless.

"what--"

saved……

After confirming that Huiji had fallen, the middle-aged man seemed to have lost his strength in an instant. He sat down on the ground, covering his chest with his left hand and his right hand hanging on his leg, and then he kept gasping for breath.

Xia Keyu, who had been holding a wooden stick not far away, also jogged over.

"Thank you."

The middle-aged man turned around and glanced at Tang Yi, his voice still trembling a little: "Thank you very much."

"It's okay, you take a rest first, and we can deal with other things later." Tang Yi pulled the iron sword out of the corpse, then turned around and asked Xia Keyu to get some water, while he gave the middle-aged man a packet of hemostatic powder he carried with him.

"I think it will work."

The middle-aged man nodded immediately, took the hemostatic powder, and carefully applied the powder on the wound.

"The water is coming."

"Well, okay." Tang Yi took the two bamboo tubes from Xia Keyu, handed one to the middle-aged man, and simply found a relatively clean piece of grass to sit down.

"Are you... Doctor Cai from this town?"

Xia Keyu only now had time to look at the middle-aged man, and found that he actually looked somewhat familiar.

"it's me."

The middle-aged man answered subconsciously, then turned to look at the girl.

"Are you... Miss Xia?"

"Why are you here? Your housekeeper has been looking for you everywhere these past two days."

"I have something to deal with here, but why did you come here alone?"

Seeing that Xia Keyu changed the subject, Dr. Cai tactfully did not continue asking questions.

After all, it is better for ordinary people like them not to know about the affairs of wealthy families.

"It's simple. I came here to collect herbs..." Doctor Cai adjusted his sitting position with difficulty, then slowly began to recall while holding the water cup.

Chapter 5 Mission Sign

"Alas, if I hadn't met those monsters, my medicine basket wouldn't have been left on the road."
