Chapter 3 ALFheim Online(1/2)
Su Xi looked at the clock hanging on the wall, it was a quarter past one in the afternoon.
At this time, she was still lying on the bed. Although she seemed to be staying in bed, she had no intention of getting up. Occasionally, she would roll back and forth on the bed holding a cute pink dolphin pillow, and she seemed to be mumbling something.
"..."
Her brother Su Chen found an excuse to sneak out after getting up early, and her mother was not home at noon today because of work. As for her father, he had been traveling for many years because of trivial matters in the company. He was simply a trapeze artist, and now he is even more serious.
She was discussing a project in the United States and would not be back for the next few months. She was the only one left in the room. Although it was very leisurely, it was really boring. However, there was a hint of expectation from her excited expression.
"Ding...ding ding..."
Suddenly, a ringtone rang from the mobile phone on the table nearby.
Su Xi turned over and hurriedly held the phone in her hand.
"Hey, Xixi, are you ready?"
"Of course, you can leave at any time!"
Su Xi, who was full of energy, agreed immediately.
"Very good, then we will meet at the intersection of Suylu Street."
"learn!"
...
"Ah...really, if I had known earlier, I would have asked Agil to help me buy one. It's really so tiring that our backs are sore."
Su Chen returned home with an exquisite box with a fairy illustration.
"Xiao Xi! Xiao Xi..."
"..."
"Nice! Not in the house, quack quack..."
After some testing, Su Chen finally couldn't hold back his excitement. This was a good opportunity. After all, he tried to avoid Su Xi when playing with the helmet. He also knew that Su Xi was a little disgusted with the name [nervgear].
] helmet device.
Ta-ta-ta-ta, Su Chen eagerly climbed up to the second floor and came to his small room. After changing into some casual clothes, he sat by the bed and opened the newly purchased game.
“alfheim online”
Although my understanding of this game is limited to what I heard from Agil, the basic information is almost the same. Fortunately, this game is not a MMORPG with strict levels. There should be no situation where you can only stay in the Novice Village to complete certain tasks.
It’s something embarrassing like being able to leave the village only after completing quests or reaching a certain level.
Su Chen complained silently in his heart.
"But, how will we meet up with Kirito later?"
"...Well, let nature take its course."
Su Chen muttered to himself, taking out a small black card-shaped gadget and inserting it into a slot on the left side of the helmet according to the instructions.
"Didi...ding!"
As the main indicator light changed from flashing to steady light, Su Chen knew that the preliminary stage of the game had been completed, and all that was left was to enter the game.
Seeing that the coating on the helmet was seriously peeling off and even had some scratches, he felt a little emotional. It seemed that he was going to wear the helmet that had kept him in bed for two years to enter the game world again. Last time, he just wore it for fun.
I couldn't really enter, but this time I really entered the game and entered a dreamlike world of fairies.
"I hope there will be no accidents this time, Amen, Amitabha..."
Su Chen didn't care what these things were, they were just talking nonsense.
Afterwards, Su Chen put on the nervgear with ease, took a deep breath, and grinned.
"link start!"
...
As a burst of colorful light beams flashed, a series of connection prompts appeared in front of Su Chen's eyes. He now knew clearly that what he saw at this time was not reality, but text that was transmitted to the optic nerve by the nervgear.
symbol, but even so, he couldn't help but click his tongue. It felt like he had come to a special alien space. The visual effects were completely different from those of previous PC games, and it was not as immersive as being there.
With the continuous testing and confirmation of the system link, his sense of body, touch and gravity were all replaced by the system. Although he was a little uncomfortable, he still endured it.
After waiting anxiously for several minutes, Su Chen finally saw a big word OK appearing in front of his eyes.
"Is this going to land in another world? But there should be character production and so on, right?"
Seeing a circle of white light emerging around him, Su Chen couldn't hold back his excitement.
【welealfheim online!】
A text with an orange glow appeared in front of his eyes, and then a soft female electronic synthesized voice announced a welcome tone to enter the game.
"Welcome to alfheim online!"
"Please enter your gender and character name."
Following the voice, Su Chen entered the game lobby, and the system finally began to remind him to create a character.
"..."
Looking at the light blue virtual keyboard on his chest, Su Chen was a little confused. Although the first step in playing games was to come up with a loud and domineering name, he still had some headaches after all, leaving his handsome name
There were too many names, and no matter which one I thought was pretty good, I entered the name "Ling Xiao" after a moment of tangle.
Firstly, it was a bit troublesome for him, and secondly, it was a way to commemorate the online game Soul Realm that he once loved. After all, in his memory, it seemed that he had not played any other games except Soul Realm for that long.
Furthermore, Kirito should be able to easily recognize him with this name. After all, he felt that names with such a different style of painting were rare.
"Ding......"
"Next please decide your race..."
When Su Chen clicked to confirm, the system began to remind him to choose the player's camp, which is also called which elf to choose.
There are nine races for players to choose from in Alfheim Online.
Wind Elf: Its strengths are flight speed and hearing, and it can use basic healing magic.
Fire Elves: Their strengths are weapons and attacks, and they are currently the most popular race in the game.
Water Elf: Strengths include restoring magic and aquatic activities.
Earth Elf: Strengths are durability and mining.
Shadow Elf: Their strengths are treasure hunting and illusion magic. Their abilities are weaker than those of other races, and few players choose them.
Music Elf: Specialized in playing musical instruments and singing, and can confuse and control monsters through music.
Dark Elf: Strengths include flying in the dark and vision in dark environments.
Cat Demon: Strengths include taming monsters, agility, and eyesight.
Leprechaun: The strengths are weapon production and exquisite craftsmanship.
"Tsk..."
After reading a circle of race introductions, Su Chen had trouble choosing again. He stared at the elves in front of him and kept swinging his hands to slide the elf introductions back and forth.
"Everyone seems to be very powerful, wow! How do I choose? It's so annoying..."
In short, after some difficult choices, he finally chose the race of dark elves. It is strange to say that the method of choosing dark elves is system random. However, thinking about it, it is quite in line with his personality. After all, he has difficulty choosing.
He chooses whatever he chooses, so it's better to leave it to the system.
"Okay, the dark elf has been selected for you, and the character's appearance will be randomly generated..."
"About to be transported to the birthplace of the dark elves..."
"Happy gaming!"
After a few simple reminders from the artificial voice, Su Chen was once again enveloped in some kind of aperture. According to the game's instructions, he should now be heading to the base camp or gathering place of his respective race.
"Yo ho! Fairy world! I'm coming..."
Looking at the vast and boundless appearance of the other world around him, Su Chen could no longer hold back the restless and excited emotions in his heart. A long roar showed his extremely excited heart at this moment.
...
The huge full moon hangs in the sky, and alo has entered the night at this moment.
In the world of fairies, the night is very short, but there is also a period of time before dawn. The deep and dark woods make people a little uncomfortable, so there are generally few people coming and going. Occasionally, there are still a few fairies, but they only fly by in a hurry.
.
At this time, three elves who looked a little in bad shape were flying over at low altitude. From their clothes, you could tell that they were from the wind elves camp.
"Lefa...Zi Ye, I...I can't do it anymore..."
A thin young man who was out of breath and hanging behind the other two people asked feebly, and then he landed on a branch, stroking his chest and looking out of breath.
"Come on, Ragen!" The white-haired girl in a light green dress on the side said energetically as she flapped her wings behind her.
"I told you, Lei Gen, to work harder, otherwise they will catch up later!"
Looking at the encouraging white-haired girl next to her, the blonde girl also sighed, but the three of them really needed to rest for a while. After all, flying also requires energy tanks.
To be continued...
