A Race to The Top

Thirty minutes later, Ling Xiaolu got on the line like a thief. He carefully looked around, making sure that no one was relieved.

"Did you go off the assembly line for so long, did you take a shot? The power of Ecstasy really cannot be underestimated!"

Ling Long didn't know from which corner he came out, and he was taken aback.

"Scared you!"

"Don't worry, Ji Meng has already left."

"Huh, I haven't asked you to settle the account yet." Ling Xiaolu had the intention of asking the Queen of Autumn to cut it.

"Settlement?" Ling Long exaggeratedly clutched his chest, "If it weren't for my anxious Shengzhi kick just now, you might already be in the Eastern Wilderness now."

"Dongye? Where is that?"

"It's where the mansion of the date you saw just now."

Ling Xiaolu squinted at him: "You know quite clearly."

"The appointment is a valued customer of our company, and every customer service requires that they know their basic information well." Ling Long answered fluently.

"Really? What about Li Zheng?"

"He has been living in a remote place in Beimang for a long time, and he rarely goes down the mountain."

"Very well, then I will set off to the southwest direction farthest away from them."

Linglong used his claws to press the amount: "There are currently about 100 appointments in this game, all over the continent. Almost everyone has their own sphere of influence. Not to mention that they have unlimited teleportation rights and can reach them in a short time. Any place you want to go, blindly adopting escape tactics, I guess, is not effective."

Ling Xiaolu was sluggish for a few seconds before turning around and heading towards Yuanting Town.

"Where are you going?"

Ling Long swayed to keep up.

"Since I can't run away, I simply won't run away. The most dangerous place is the safest place. With so many people in Yuanting Town, it would be difficult to find me out of a bunch of green names."

Ling Long suddenly realized: "You are so smart!"

"Tell me how to play this game. If something similar happens again, I can't be as passive as this time."

"Ambitious!" Ling Long held his paw, "I like to follow aspiring players like you!"

"Don't say anything else, is there a public chat channel for this game?"

"Of course! We have a lot of channels, public, and private, divided by region, and divided by purpose. You squeeze the earlobe lightly, and then say the name of the channel you want to add. Open the chat window. If it’s a private encrypted channel, you need to add a password after the channel name, or you can join when you are invited. You can open a private chat by receiving the user’s name. By the way, if you need to call me at any time, you can also use this Kind of method."

Ling Xiaolu squeezed his right earlobe: "Ling Long."

A floating mini card jumped out in front of him, which was a chat box.

Ling Long: Did you see it? You can also communicate in words when you encounter inconvenience to speak in the future.

Ling Long: As long as you meditate on the content you want to enter, the system will automatically read it.

Lubi: Okay, you, the unparalleled dragon spirit in the universe.

Ling Long: ...you have spoken out what you are saying.

Lubi: Oh, it's not easy to rewind and rewind, I'm sorry for the four-horned bug.

Ling Long: ... (maintain a rational professional smile)

With a flick of his finger, Ling Xiaolu swiped away Ling Long's chat box and ordered again.

"Regional Channel-Jingzhe City."

System: Has joined the local area channel.

Another chat window popped up, and the Jingzhe City regional channel was busy when the players spoke quickly.

[Region] Chu Huan: Who said that there was an appointment gathering in Yuanting Town? where is it?

[Region] Baiqi: There should be places with fan names.

[Region] Qiuqiu Little Teddy: I ​​have been searching for a long time but I haven't seen the pink name and the gold name, either red or green.

[Region] Girlman: You don't have a human pet tracking radar, how could it be found by you.

[Region] Nia: But there are a lot of talks, someone should see it.

[Region] Riba endlessly: I saw it! At the entrance to the forest outside the town!

[Region] Ruan Qi: Who is it? ! Send screenshots!

[Region] The leaves are endless: [Screenshot]

[Region] Qiao Yu: It's Kou's father!

[Region] Wei Zhengzhi: Don't say anything, I'm going to find my dad. Dad wait for me!

When Ling Xiaolu walked out of the forest, he saw an appointment named Dou Kou surrounded by a group of passers-by, almost unable to move.

He took a deep breath and swaggered over in front of Jin Ming. The legendary father Kou was struggling to deal with more and more legging parties, completely unaware that he was passing by with his prey.

After walking out of the opponent's sight, Ling Xiaolu breathed a sigh of relief. God knows how scared he was to be recognized just now.

It seems that this method is very effective, as long as someone does more cover, he is not afraid to expose the doubts.

Ling Long cleverly flew by his side, disguised as a quiet beauty dragon, and made a systematic action from time to time to give full play to the most commonly used function of a non-combat puppet-selling cuteness.

After passing the first level, he needs to arm himself for the second level.

"Where can I learn skills?"

"The Elf School, commonly known as the Pet Exchange. You can learn most of the skills there, in addition to some rare skills that need to be acquired through skill books, and there are many ways to acquire them."

"Pet Exchange? Do you also design a place for pets in this game?" Ling Xiaolu asked contemptuously.

"Where did you think of it?" Ling Long was even more contemptuous. "The Pet Exchange, when there was no player pet store, everyone bought and sold pets in the Elf School. This common name has not changed, and retail investors still like it. When trading there, its official name is rarely called."

"..."

The pet stock exchange is the pet stock exchange. Ling Xiaolu found the largest building in town. Sure enough, many retail investors took their babies to sell here, and some people were bargaining. Ling Xiaolu did not bring babies with him, so he was recruited by many sellers as soon as he entered .

"The newly caught mammoth baby is a rare pet and you can learn to mount it!"

"Let's take a look at my baby praying mantis, the best for attacking and sensitive, a must for martial arts!"

"The most suitable black sheep for novices, jump off the building for sale!"

Ling Xiaolu ignored them and walked straight to the place where the elf trainer was inside. There were seven NPCs here, each with a different title.

"The pets in the game are divided into eight categories, namely insects, plants, beasts, undead, metal, elves, and dragons, as well as humans played by players. Each category has different subjects, and each category contains seven types. Babies with attributes, such as the wind-breathing pterodactyl under the dragon family Wyvern family, the cold ice dragon with the water attribute, and the flame-flaming dragon with the fire attribute. The seven attributes are mutually restrained, so when PK chooses which attribute baby But a university asked."

"You said there are eight departments for pets, but there are only seven teaching NPCs here."

"Because there is no human trainer, the pets played by the player do not have exclusive skills, but they can learn all the skills of the other seven series. This alone is enough to guard against the sky. Think about it, insects are good at attacking, and plant babies are good at attack. Increase blood, and you can do it all alone!"

"But there is always an upper limit for learning, right?"

"Yes, the total value of pets' talents is fixed, so choosing which skills to learn is also a college question. But if you are not satisfied with your skills, you can wash them at any time, and you only need to pay for the washing fee."

Ling Xiaolu asked the beast trainer closest to him. A heavy martial arts cheat book fell from the sky. Players can read it. Each page has a skill written on it. But what makes Ling Xiaolu puzzled is that the names of these skills are gray. .

"I can't learn these skills?"

"You need to see whether the learning conditions after the skills are met. General skills need to meet two conditions, talent points and money, and exclusive skills also have requirements for the breed of pets."

Ling Xiaolu casually turned a page:

—Great Earthquake [Top]

-Talent points: 240 points / money: 200,000 elf coins / exclusive: Mammoth

—Skill effect: make the ground vibrate strongly, interrupting the movement of all targets in the range.

—Cooling time: five minutes

"Oh? This is a very powerful PVP group attack skill. It also requires a lot of talent points. Learning this means giving up many other skills. Think twice."

"I don't have enough talent points, and I don't have money. How can I get talent points."

"Do tasks and accept orders, but the quickest thing is to eat."

"eat?"

"Pat the waist, this is a quick gesture to open the bag."

Ling Xiaolu opened the bag as he said. The bag for the novice was small, with only 24 cells.

"We gave you two talent pills, each of which can increase your talent by 25 points, which is enough for you to learn some single attack skills. Later, if you want to increase your talent, you can only rely on your own efforts."

Ling Xiaolu took the **** out of the bag and put them in his mouth. He thought that the props in the game would not smell, but he didn't expect that this talent ball would melt in the mouth, and after swallowing it for a long time, there was still a faint osmanthus fragrance between his lips and teeth.

"It's delicious!" he said intoxicated.

"It tastes good, right? Our technical department has done a lot of sensory simulation, including the unique taste of various energy bottles, action potions, and synergistic foods in the game. There are even many foodies playing this game for Eat, the point is that you don’t have to worry about getting fat!"

"...Your games will sell big." Ling Xiaolu said sincerely.

With the cultivation base, coupled with the start-up funds given by the system, finally some of the primary skill names have been illuminated.

He studied the skill books of seven trainers in turn, and finally selected two—

-Frostbolt [Level 1]: Elf-based attacking spells, causing a small amount of damage to the attacking target, and at the same time, it has a slowing effect on the target. It can be upgraded to level ten by consuming 15 talent points.

-Earth Dun [Top]: Plant-based counter-control spells, relieve the self-deceleration and freeze effect, and use the power of the earth to escape from the battle. Consumption of 35 points of talent.

Ling Long looked at him with black lines on his face, one that prevented the enemy from getting close, and the other that made him run fast. It was a pet thinking that he didn't want to be a pet.

Ling Xiaolu obtained two skill books. He placed the books between his palms and slapped them with both hands. The pages of the books instantly turned into dots of fluorescence and dissipated. At the same time, he also received system prompts.

[System] You have mastered the new skills [Ice Arrow] and [Earth Escape], please check in the skill panel.

[System] You have obtained achievements: master 1 skill and reward 5 achievement points.

"How to open the skill panel quickly?"

"You need to make a seal like this."

Ling Long used his four-finger claws to compare them. The structure was different and the size was small. Ling Xiaolu couldn't see it at all, so Ling Long had to adjust the picture in the novice description for him.

The gestures of the Summon Skills panel are pretty cool. The first three fingers are straightened, and the last **** are bent. When paired together, it looks like a ninja gesture at first glance.

The skill panel is arranged in the order of the pet's seven series. Currently, there are only icons under the wizard series and the plant series.

"The skills in the game can be triggered by actions or words, or a combination of the two. You can set the trigger conditions for each skill. Setting skills is very interesting. For example, you can bind Frostbolt with a spellcasting action, or use The language is'BIUBIUBIU' to trigger, and you can also call'BIUBIUBIU' while casting the spell. The third combination usage in the game is more common."

"..." Ling Xiaolu, "but the third one sounds like the second best."

"Because there are quite a lot of skills in the game, including physical attacks, spell attacks, and auxiliary skills. Many players like to organize it like this, for example: flat cutting + drinking = whirlwind cutting, flat cutting + ha = flame cutting, flat cutting + roar = Chain Slash; Or: Cast + Point = Frost Arrow, Cast + Line = Ice Dragon, Cast + Face = Ice Rain, which is more convenient to remember."

"Isn't it easier for me to directly use the name of the skill as the trigger condition?"

"It is strongly recommended that you don't do that, otherwise, when PK, your opponent will know what move you are going to do next by just listening to the sound, so try to set it up as personal as possible." Ling Long couldn't help it at this point, "In fact, as a player A GM, I have seen too many creative players. Someone chants a Heart Sutra every time they release a skill. There are also players who know kung fu bind the skill to martial arts moves. The skill cast is like flowing water, which is breathtaking. You must see the opportunity."

"Can you still play like this? Then let me think about it..."

Ling Xiaolu made settings for the two newly learned skills, **** close together a little bit to "Don't come over" is Frostbolt, while back flipping "I walk" in place is earth escape.

Ling Long was a little worried: "Will the difficulty of backflip be higher?"

"can you?"

Ling Xiaolu grew up learning street dance and playing parkour. This level of action is really a trick for him. He tried it on the spot, and every time a skill was activated, an icon would be refreshed in the center of the virtual interface, accompanied by cool light and explosive sound effects, and it was like a martial arts master possessed.

"Awesome!" Ling Longyan stared, "I can't tell that you are still a master, I am full of expectations for your future."

After learning the two skills, Ling Xiaolu was really poor and white.

"Is there any way to make money?"

"For novices, if you want to make money, you have to accept the commission honestly, and you can get the money when you complete the commission. The materials collected during the commission process can also be sold in the player's store. The accumulation of income over time is also good."

"So is there any way to make money quickly?"

"That's even simpler. Now you go out to find a place with the most people, and shout that I am a human pet, and you will soon have a big money to adopt you. Then you don't have to do anything, you can play whatever you want. play."

Ling Xiaolu: convex=_= convex

The regional channel that had been minimized by Ling Xiaolu flickered, and he clicked to see it. It turned out that someone made an announcement inside. To publish an announcement is to pay a fee to the system. The wider the scope of the published channel, the higher the fee.

[Region] [Announcement] Dou Kou: Private messages provide a 500W fan name coordinate reward, and those who provide false information will offer a reward + blackout.

5000000!

Ling Xiaolu couldn't wait to open his bag and counted it twice, confirming that all his belongings were less than 500 coins.

"Look! I'm worth 5 million!"

Ling Long was very disdainful: "What's 5 million, wait and see."

Sure enough, another one was quickly swiped under that announcement:

[Region] [Announcement] Ji Meng: The reward is 1000W and ID2000W is provided.

20000000! Dancing grass! Ling Xiaolu was about to scream: "This father's ID is so familiar!"

Ling Long: ...the backbone!

"No, everyone at the top is used to calling him Dad Kou, but the one at the bottom is usually calling her husband." Ling Long explained that he was afraid that he would call him wrong.

Sure enough, the enthusiastic players have set a good example for Ling Xiaolu.

[Region] Heizi: My husband is domineering!

[Region] Mo Yu: Hello, my husband is great!

[Region] Baa Baa: Change the wall so fast, be careful that your father and son sever the relationship with you.

[Region] Mo Yu: What's the matter? I don’t want my father if I have a husband!

[Region] Ah Miao: The surname Ji also dare to molested, are you afraid of being titled?

[Region] Rice porridge: The newcomer asks for an explanation. Isn't it the Ji I imagined?

[Region] Dichlorvos: Swearing upstairs→_→

[Region] Porridge: …Halo, I didn’t mean that!

Ling Xiaolu was deeply inspired: "No wonder everyone calls his husband not his father, Ji's father is so terrible."

Ling Long: ...I want to laugh but can't be presumptuous.

"But they said they would be titled, what happened to this last name?"

"Do you really know it, or do you fake it?"

"Isn't it a screen name?"

"No, it's the real name."

Using his real name in the game, this guy has a big heart.

"I really don't know, you can give me science popularization."

"Have you heard of the president of Xinshan Company?"

"do not know."

"Ji Taihuan."

"...Could it be that Ji Meng is your prince?"

"No, it's the nephew of the president. But because Mr. Ji has no children, many people call him Prince Ji in the game." Ling Long added in a low voice, "This is a black name, don't call it in person."

Ling Xiaolu:...

Ling Xiaolu sorted out the relationship between the characters: "So just now he said that the ring was given by the uncle, but in fact it was given by your boss? Why didn't you just say such important information."

"Ji's surname is not very common. I think most people will notice it. At least people who play this game will hear it."

"That's really sorry. In the past, I was obsessed with studying, and I didn't pay attention to the issue of President Xinshan's last name.

"It doesn't matter, at least now, you have had close contact with Ji's family, haven't you?"

"Can I choose not to contact?" Ling Xiaolu asked, "Then the previous customer service girl bluffed him, you even dare to lie to the nephew of the president."

"Our company is customer first, all players are treated equally, there is no partiality at all."

"Isn't his money changed by the programmer?"

"Tampering with data is a violation of the gaming convention. Even the president's daughters-in-law are not allowed. All his game coins are bought through legitimate channels."

"But the money for the game currency comes from the player."

"This is true, but the player consumes normally, and he is also a legitimate income. There is nothing wrong with it."

"Is he really going to go to the technical department to check the bottom line?" Ling Xiaolu was still uneasy.

"If you want to check it early, you don't need to go to the GM to report the bug. Don't worry about it. The high-level family members who are active in this game are not the only one, and everyone is consciously abiding by the rules, otherwise the players will cause trouble long ago."

"That's okay." Ling Xiaolu walked out, preparing to study the commission that Ling Long said.

He left the door of the petting exchange, but ran into Ji Meng head-on, and the other party found him almost at the same time.

"It's you!"

As soon as Ji Meng saw Ling Xiaolu, he pulled out his feet and walked towards him. Ling Xiaolu panicked and stretched out **** and one point:

"do not come!"

A frosty arrow shot out, and the effect of freezing and deceleration appeared under Ji Meng's feet.

Ji Meng had no idea that someone would dare to attack him head-on. He looked down and was furious: "Do you dare to slow me down?"

Ling Xiaolu didn't care what he said, and then an somersault back on the spot:

"I'm going!"

Ji Meng watched as he disappeared out of thin air, leaving only the dusty skill effects in place.

The first level of Frostbolt lasted only 1.5 seconds before it ended. Ji Meng rushed over and looked around, not even Ling Xiaolu's shadow could be seen.

This is the second time he has run away face to face. The frustrated Ji Meng drew out the big sword behind him and waved it heavily in the air, raising a cloud of dust.

"Damn it! You wait for me!"

The author has something to say: *The attackers are children who are preparing to go to college, and their words and deeds are relatively immature. This is the smallest (second most) protagonist CP I have ever written.
