Chapter 287 A Newbie's Day (Part )

Lonely as the Snow only felt his eyes brighten, and a bustling and prosperous city appeared in front of him, and he was surrounded by hundreds of novice players who were wearing novice uniforms like him.

"So true..."

"A lot of people."

"Is this Northwind Keep?"

"This city is so beautiful. I love the scenery."

However, Lonely Ruxue looked around the surrounding environment and felt it was a bit strange. It was clearly a medieval architectural style, but there was thick smoke rising in the distance. There were also five- or six-story office buildings mixed in with the classical European buildings.

Even the tiefling guards were holding magic rifles, but they were wearing the most orthodox armor, with a steampunk style.

There are wyverns flying in the sky, ogres and hobgoblins walking on the streets without any scruples, and the humans next to them turn a blind eye and take it as normal. This scene seems bizarre to many novice players.

"Damn, there's a monster!"

"What's it called? It's a feature of North Wind Castle."

Lonely Ruxue muttered softly, "This is the North Wind Castle that S mentioned. It's the best spawning point for novices. According to the guide, you have to earn faction contributions first and then directly exchange them for dragon blood potions to start. The most cost-effective job for novices seems to be... Miner."

He looked at the square in front of him, which was already blocked by new players.

Among the 50,000 players, nearly 20,000 chose to start the game in North Wind Castle. The population of this city suddenly increased by almost half of the city, and even the traffic became congested.

There were all kinds of advertisements posted on the billboards in the square, and people were shouting through loud speakers.

"The guild is recruiting new players. They will be online for eight hours a day. Those who can endure hardships and work will be given priority."

"Weapons Factory No. 3 is recruiting workers, with a daily wage of 100 camp contributions."

"Newcomer training program! Train a qualified paladin meat shield."

"The beginner's set is on sale for a bargain price! Only 100 copper coins!"

"The new guild [Lord Cassius's Dog] is recruiting! The XP will bring together like-minded friends!"

"Praise Ohm Messiah! The wealthy guild [Mechanicus] is recruiting high-quality talents, with top treatment, and those with higher education are given priority."

"Our guild is in urgent need of talents in biology and genetics. Those who have research results or published SCI in this field can directly enter the guild's senior management and be granted the position of [Geneticist], enjoying the highest level of treatment."

"Wang Quan is unparalleled! The top wealthy family [Wang Quan] is recruiting new members, professional gamers are preferred, and those who have experience in boxing, free fighting, etc. in real life are preferred."

Lonely Ruxue was dazzled by what she saw. She stroked her chin and sighed to herself, "These people are so greedy when playing games. Do they let ordinary players play games?"

"Tsk tsk, they are indeed a wealthy family."

He was not ready to join the guild.

According to the strategy of that "Mr. S", except for those top giants, the help provided by guilds to ordinary players is minimal. There are even many guilds that are trying to make money from new players under the guise of training newcomers, and the requirements of those giants are beyond the reach of ordinary players like him.

Lonely Ruxue is very self-aware. Apart from being handsome, he is ordinary in other aspects and his skills are at best average.

He continued to follow the flow of people and finally saw the place he was looking for -

I saw a ferocious-looking earth goblin sitting there impatiently, with a wooden sign in front of him.

"The Bottomless Mine is short of fifty miners, twenty copper coins a day."

"It should be right here."

Lonely as snow muttered. Just as he was about to go up and ask, he was stopped by someone behind him.

"No buddy, are you here to play the game or be played by the game? Are you really going to be a slave in the mines?"

Lonely Ruxue turned around and saw another new player. He was also wearing a novice cloth outfit, and the nickname on his head was a glittering "Emperor of Europe".

Lonely as Snow said: "Miners are the most cost-effective job in the early stages. This is what is said in the S strategy."

"S-Da? Xin Gou!"

The European Emperor widened his eyes.

"How dare you believe this kind of birth story! It's just a lie to you newbies."

Lonely Ruxue did not refute, but just asked doubtfully: "Aren't you also a level one newbie?"

European Emperor crossed his arms and said confidently: "I have inside information. My buddy is an internal test player. I have figured out all the twists and turns in this game."

"Just tell me whether you believe me or not? Let's be friends."

Lonely as the Snow hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

Although the player in front of me who claims to have "inside information" does not seem reliable, he is at least warm-hearted and it might not be a bad idea to make friends with him.

Ou Huang led him directly to the place where the most players gathered. There were almost a hundred people crowded together here, including many high-level veteran players. They all had red faces and crazy looks, muttering things like "it's time to ship" and "Buddha bless you", which made Lonely Ruxue quite curious.

The European Emperor pointed to the distance and said proudly, "This is it."

Lonely Ruxue looked in the direction of his finger and saw a large shop with a plaque reading "House of Dragon's Gift". Thousands of beautifully decorated metal boxes were piled inside.

"Casius's secret treasure?"

Lonely Ruxue couldn't help but frown, and became even more suspicious of this European emperor.

He had seen this activity in Singo's guide, which was called "leek harvester", "the fire pit that fools love to jump into" and "pauper manufacturing box" by the guide master, giving it almost the lowest evaluation.

Singo even added this sentence in the guide: "Instead of using gold coins to open boxes, you might as well pay me directly, at least this way you won't be addicted."

“You also know about this event?”

The European Emperor looked so excited that he was almost dancing.

"This is a treasure event. It is said that it is a grand ceremony that will only be held after the server is launched. If you are slow, you will miss it. Many newbies don't even know about it."

"Isn't this thing said to be extremely shady? Mr. S even mentioned it specifically."

Lonely as the snow said speechlessly.

"Why do you care what Xin Gou does? What he said is bullshit. He even said before that faction contribution is useless!"

The European Emperor shook his head repeatedly, revealing a look of knowing everything: "You don't know this, right? This is the server launch phase!"

"Think about it, even if the official is stingy, will they use the low explosion rate to drive away newcomers? This event is absolutely a pure benefit for newcomers! First give you some sweet treats, then hit you with two big sticks. This secret treasure of Cassius is the sweet treat!"

"What evidence do you have?"

"Insider information, do you understand? I'm telling you everything from my heart! If you don't believe me, just watch me collect the benefits later. Don't regret it later."

The European Emperor patted his chest and said, his words still full of confidence.
