Reckless Through The New World

Blue sky and white clouds, the sun is shining.

But it doesn't matter that these are pandas, because he is indoors.

Correctly speaking, he was in the board game room.

The board game room is one of the most lively rooms in Mangchuan Earth Castle, and many people gather here every day. With the advancement of magic technology, the setting of the board game room has become more and more advanced. At the beginning, everyone could only make maps, chess pieces, character cards and dice. Later, it developed into a full set of magic props, and later developed into a panoramic projection like CG animation. , Now it has developed to the point where everyone can connect a part of their consciousness to the chess pieces, and actually enter the illusory world and play the role in the game.

Panda has participated once before. It feels like an "immersion game" in some science fiction novels. A person's thoughts are divided into two parts. Outside the game is still himself, clear and complete. I forgot who I am, I only remember the settings in the game, and my thinking is a bit vague. Unless it is the content that has been set in advance, everything else is like seeing flowers in the fog, vaguely.

Interestingly, the "characters" in the game don't even think about questions such as "Who am I? Where do I come from? What do I want to do?", they simply have a simple mind, just act according to a preset plan, absolutely There will be no unplanned behavior.

If players outside the game want to manipulate their characters, they can only constantly adjust the plan and let the characters execute later. From command to implementation, there is a process in the middle.

The first time Panda played, he was inexperienced and failed to grasp this advance, so that the monk he spent three hours creating died in the second adventure - this man faced a domineering official , directly chose violent confrontation, then killed officials and rebelled, and then fought all the way, and finally died under the random arrows of the city guards.

Seeing this solution, Panda himself was in a daze - he never thought that his character would do such a thing!

"Character can't be set too extreme." After his character died, Queen Katerina, who had become a veteran board game expert, told him with experience, "Characters with extreme personalities are often in fierce conflicts. It's too extreme for you to make amends. So, if you want your character to live longer, it's best to be moderate in character."

Her characters are all the kind of characters who go with the flow and can often survive in the game for a long time. In the past two years, except for some high-risk groups such as "infinite horror" style, in normal running groups, her character has never died once.

On the contrary, her husband Liu Daoqing's character is always very extreme. Basically, he will die after one or two adventures, and some even die soon after going out. It can be described as "professional death".

Panda thinks that this is probably because Liu Daoqing is busy with official business, and he really has no time to indulge in games like an irresponsible queen wife...

Today, there will be a large-scale running group in the board game room, with more than 20 players participating, divided into three groups.

The background of this regiment takes place in a somewhat desolate frontier. The team of pioneers from the hinterland of the kingdom, the team of indigenous people who are striving to protect the ancestral land, and the team of frontier people who wander between the two will cooperate and confront each other, and strive to have the last laugh.

"Are you sure you want to use the Paladin character card?" Before the game started, the host Alice confirmed everyone's character card at the end. She looked at the character card that appeared above the panda's head, and shook her head, "This background is not friendly to paladins. If you choose paladins, it is very likely that you won't survive the first game."

"What's important is that you like it, isn't it?" Panda asked back with a smile.

Alice's eyes lit up, a happy smile appeared on her round face, and she gave the panda a thumbs up.

"You're right! The important thing is that you like it. Everything else is trivial!"

After the decision was made, everyone sat in the dedicated running group seats and put on their magic helmets.

On the huge board game board, which occupies more than 80% of the entire board game room, colorful rays of light emerged, and finally turned into an old map.

"This is a desolate frontier, located in the northwest of the kingdom." Alice began to narrate, "because of the climate, the rain brought by the monsoon often only sheds a little here. No more than ten light rains a year, So that the thriving crops cannot grow here, and only some extremely drought-tolerant crops can survive in this barren land.”

"While greedily sucking up every bit of water they can find, they stubbornly and indifferently protect their own water from letting it spread. Selfishness, toughness, greed, and indifference are the themes of this frontier land, too. The vibe of the people here."

"For a long time, people in the border areas have lived with this attitude. They fought against the sky, against the earth, against the greedy lords, against the stubborn and inflexible indigenous people, constantly developing their own land, and through planting Some poisonous drought-tolerant crops, to obtain the resources necessary to live, survive with difficulty and tenacity."

"Now, a pioneering group from the hinterland of the kingdom, carrying a lot of resources, has come here."

Panda sat quietly in the seat, not chatting or discussing like others, just paying attention to the development of things seriously, and drawing up an action plan for his character, the Paladin Karen, in time.

Under his design, this noble concubine from an earldom in the interior of the kingdom has been operating in places far from the border slums.

The biggest disadvantage of paladins is that they have strict codes of conduct. They must abide by goodness and justice, which makes them unable to turn a blind eye to the suffering they see, and to choose silence in the face of evil and injustice. In order for his character to survive longer and play a proper role in the team, Panda had to do this.

As a paladin from an aristocratic family, if Karen came to the slum, there is a high possibility of a fierce conflict with the various forces here. Although he is highly skilled in martial arts and is the undisputed number one expert in the Trail Blazers team, he is hard to beat with both punches, not to mention that the knife is likely to stab from behind.

Therefore, Panda chose to let him take the route of the middle and upper classes, and negotiated with the merchants and minor nobles on the border.

Of course, most of those guys are evil, but Karen is not a "judgment paladin" who takes the "evil is killing" line. As long as the manipulator panda is careful, don't let him get involved in some extremely evil things. Don't let him witness evil deeds in person, then as a nobleman and clergyman, he can still enjoy himself in the middle and upper classes of the border society.

As for the activities in the slums, it is the role of Gondor, the thief Brad, and the role of Jeanne, the doctor Bruce.

Although he is also one of the leaders of the Sislin family in name, Gondor is not as diligent as Liu Daoqing. Apart from his weekly teaching, he almost never pays attention to the affairs of the Sislin family and leaves it to others. In this regard, the members of the Sislin family are also very welcome, although they will not discriminate against him because of the race of Gondor - the strong do not need to care about such trivial matters as race, but if possible, they always hope that the Sislin family's Affairs can be managed by members of the family.

To the regret of the members of the Sislin family, Tiangong and the thief have not given birth to any children so far. Although they also knew that it would be very difficult for the two legendary powerhouses to combine and produce offspring, but in any case, they still hoped that the Sislin family would have a more suitable heir.

At present, the heir to the Sislin family is Emmy Wei's grandnephew, a very talented and calm young man. His strength is not bad, he is already close to the high rank before the age of 30. If nothing else, he will become a family steward at the age of 40, and then he will be able to work for another 30 years.

This situation is actually quite good for the vast majority of noble families. But the people of the Sislin family still hope to have a legendary powerhouse in charge, so that personnel affairs can be more stable and everyone can feel at ease.

As for Jeanne, who had just retired not long ago, he is over eighty years old. Although his appearance has not aged significantly, his physical function and mental state have already begun to decline.

Druids belong to a relatively long-lived profession. Jeanne is a high-level Druid. In theory, he can live to be one hundred twenty or thirty years old.

However, unlike monks, druids do not have the ability to reject aging.

The monks who step into the high ranks will not age. They can maintain the physique and spirit of the prime of life until their lifespan runs out, and then suddenly become weak and old when they are about to die. But Druids are not the case, they will age like normal occupations, but the rate of aging is slower than others.

At Jeanne's age, it is difficult for him to maintain the energy he had when he was young. Now, in addition to giving lectures at Tarakhan Medical College and Mythler Druid College, the rest of his time is either sitting in the woods in a daze, or spending the rest of the time in the castle's board game room.

The eldest disciple of Dr. Anka once sighed: "If I can be twenty years younger, I may have the opportunity to exhaust the wisdom of the teacher."

Anka valued his disciple very much, and wanted to prolong his life more than once, but he refused.

As a Druid, although his usual behavior is completely different from that of most Druids, he still maintains the true nature of a Druid in his bones.

Get close to nature, respect nature, and integrate into nature.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are the laws of nature. As a member of nature, although he is afraid of death, he will still accept the arrival of death as calmly as possible.

Although I am a little sorry for the teacher, this is his choice.

Gondor and Jeanne both like to perform in the running group. Gondor's character is always a thief with dirty hands and feet. His skills in stealth, lock picking and pickpocketing are all first-class, but he is not very good at fighting. He is good at stealing and spying, and likes to walk in the shadows. Jeanne's character will always be a doctor who knows druid magic, walks among the poor, heals people, and occasionally spreads the druid's teaching of "man and nature in harmony."

The other members of the pioneering group, including more than three swordsmen Fadis, one was born in civilians and once served as a soldier. After retiring from the army, he sold all his belongings, collected a large amount of money, and organized a pioneering group, wanting to go to the border. Look for opportunities to make a fortune or become a middle-aged aristocrat.

The last member of the pioneering group is Feifei, the dancer of the seed girl. This character is not very good at fighting, but she is very good at negotiating with people. She was originally the child of a destitute nobleman, but for various reasons, she passed through an unhappy young age. Now this dancer is thirty-four, and her youth is coming to an end. She wanted to seize the last chance to save herself a fortune to spend her old age in peace.

Compared with the other two teams, the Pioneer Team has relatively few people, so they get more preset resources.

Money, social influence, and the character's experience points.

In the pioneering group, the role of the panda has the most experience points because of the most restrictions.

If the problem can be solved by force-for example, a three-way battle, a decisive battle, then perhaps the pioneering group can defeat the other two teams with powerful force.

Of course, this is not possible because the other two teams are already discussing joining forces.

"That paladin Panda is walking around all day, it's so annoying! Let's kill him together!"

"Okay! I agree!"

"I agree too!"

"Seconded!"

"Second!"

"I can deliver poison."

"I'll contact the killer organization. If possible, it's better not to consume our own resources as much as possible."

"good idea!"

When the panda heard the sound not far away, he couldn't help but laugh and cry.

"Hey! You guys are discussing how to assassinate me in front of me, is it really okay?" He couldn't help but complain.

"No problem, just get used to it."

"You can't jump in and notify your character anyway."

"Play games, don't be so serious."

The gossipy answer made Panda couldn't help shaking his head again and again.

What's the matter!

The mobility of the traversers is very strong. After just over half an hour, a conspiracy against the paladin Karen has been designed. According to this conspiracy, Karen will be attracted by the theft that suddenly occurs in front of her, leave the relatively safe Upper Town in order to chase a thief, and then be besieged by a group of robbers in the Lower Town.

Of course Karen wouldn't die under a group of robbers, but he would never have thought that the real killer move actually came from the purse he took back from the thieves.

Inside the purse were several highly poisonous needles specially prepared to kill him.

"This conspiracy is really..." Panda watched his character fall because of the poison and quit the game, and couldn't help shaking his head, "You gamers, your hearts are so dirty!"
