Starting from Zero

After signing the guide contract, Ardor and Sauter became my guides. The reason why I have to hire two guides at a time is mainly because I am afraid that I will lose a guide on the road. At least I can act normally. Otherwise, the guide will hang up on the road by all means. Although I will not get lost by myself, it is very troublesome whether I am exploring by myself or going back and looking for a guide. So I decided to hire two guides at a time to save the trouble of when the time comes.

"What do you call the guest?" After signing the contract, the two guides who were responsible for taking me asked.

"Purple Moon." I replied.

"Purple Moon? What is the name of the president of the Frost Rose League?" the hunter player named Sauter asked slightly surprised.

To be honest, I am more surprised than him now. Whether he knows me or not, I will not be surprised, but he knows that the name Purple Moon corresponds to the position of President of the Frost Rose League, but he doesn't know me standing in front of him. If he hadn't heard of me at all, it would be nice to talk a little bit, but since he knows that I am the president of the Frost Rose League, he can't recognize me without reason? I didn't use the Camouflage Technique. Could anyone not recognize the dazzling equipment of the Divine Dragon suit?

"Why don't you recognize me if you know that I am the president of the Frost Rose League?"

"What? You are the president of the Frost Rose League?" The player seems to be I was surprised to watch me look up and down for a long time, and then said in disbelief: "Don’t tease the guests, Purple Moon is the idol of our Chinese players in mind. Your outfit is really dazzling, but you The equipment of Purple Moon is too different. Even if I only watched a few combat videos of Purple Moon, I wouldn’t admit that equipment was wrong, right?"

"Damn, where did you watch the video?"

" Huh? Don’t you think that the enemy you are fighting against is me?"

"I am not a fool, can I not see which one is my own?" Soter looked very excited. Said: "President Purple Moon summoned his giant dragon monster to fight with him in that video. This is a sign of others. How could I make a mistake?"

"Then you said me and you What’s the difference between the Purple Moon in the video you watched?"

Sauter stared at me for a while and shook his head: "I can’t tell you, anyway, you and I saw the video. The Purple Moon above is different." At this point, he seemed to think of something and turned to the archer MM: "Aduo, for you, you should have seen the battle video of President Purple Moon, right?"

I originally thought that this time I could settle the wrongs, and didn’t expect that MM named A Duo opened his mouth and said: "I don’t know if what I’m watching is the same as what you’re watching, but the inside President Purple Moon is indeed different from your guest. President Purple Moon’s equipment is mainly dark black, red, and purple. Although there is a lot of black on your armor, there are too many bright colors. It’s different at first glance. And the president of Purple Moon has wings. How can you be the president of Purple Moon without wings?"

"Sott, Ado." Signed an agreement with me before. The guide who led the team suddenly sternly said: "Are you suspicious of guests like this? Even if they are not the president of Purple Moon, you don't have to say something ugly, right? Hurry up and take them on the road, and we will be the guide. It’s ability to make money. Don’t waste time."

Damn, what the old guide said is fair enough. It sounds like he is defending me, but the problem is that he said this. It's clear that I didn't recognize my identity just like those two!

"Hey, where did you watch the video? I'm really Purple Moon."

"Yes, you can say yes to the guests." old guide replied, but the more he said, the more anxious I got.

"What do you mean by saying yes? I am already!"

"Yes, you are already Purple Moon. Okay, Adu, Sote, take the guests quickly Up the mountain."

"I..." Before I finished speaking, I was ran up the mountain by the two guides, but I came back after a while.

The old guide saw that we were back suddenly, and immediately came over in confusion and asked: "Why are you back again?"

Seeing that the old guide has signs of anger, that Soter quickly explained. "I made a mistake just now, and the guest has to go through the mountain."

The old guide who was already angry at Sauter immediately yelled: "This is the guest's goal. Are you right?" You are a guide. You can lead the way without asking where the guests are going. What kind of guide are you doing? Hurry up, and if you make a mistake, be careful that I deduct your salary."

"Let’s go here. Let's go!" Sauter was scolded by the old guide almost as squirming his head, while Ado took the opportunity to slip across the platform to the other side of the intersection and beckoned to me. Obviously, he didn't want to be caught by the old guide. Seeing how she looked scared, the old guide who led the team might have accumulated power for a long time, and all the little guides who worked under him were terribly scared.

After I walked to the right intersection with Aduo, Sauter finally escaped the scolding of the old guide and ran over. I almost couldn't hold back a laugh when he saw his sorrowful expression on his face.

"Well, the guest, let's go quickly, and if Captain catches him, he must take our skin off." When Sauter saw us, he yelled for us to go.

I squeezed a smile and followed this guy into the mountain road and headed towards the mountain.

The mountain road we are walking now should be able to go to the back of the mountain according to Soter and A'duo. As for how to go further, it is not what Soter and the others can understand.

"Aren't you guides? Why don't you know how to go back?" When they learned that the road behind the mountain was not clear to them, I looked at Soter and Ado in surprise.

Aduo explained: "We are indeed the guide, but we really haven’t picked it up before you run so far like a guest. I heard from the senior in our guide team that someone had indeed been to the mountain before. Later, but they have been guides here for more than a year. In total, there were three people who were going to the mountainside."

"Aren't you here with a lot of traffic? Why did it take so long for the three of you to go to the back of the mountain? And Captain, didn’t you say that you two are the most powerful guides under his hand? Why do you still have a senior?"

It’s still Ado explaining Said: "That's it. Captain didn't lie to you about our strength. Our two ranks are the highest in team strength, and our battle strength is also the strongest. However, we have only been guides for more than four months. As far as the profession of guide is concerned, we belong to the kind of people who are half new and not old. There are seniors in the front and juniors in the back."

I nodded and said: "so that's how it is."

p>

A'duo continued: "The flow of people you said is actually correct. The flow of people here is indeed very large, but there are really few people going to the back of the mountain. Behind the Wanya Mountain is the country. Barrier, you may not know that you have never entered the national barrier area. In this game, there are usually Ultra Grade monsters on the border between countries. In a word on the Internet, that is: BOSSmany as dogs, Divine Beast everywhere .You said how many people are going to play in this kind of place? Let’s talk about it. This Wanya Mountain has a radius of hundreds of miles, and the area is amazing. Generally, tourists will leave after staying for a week at most. In such a short time, they will go around the front mountain. That’s not bad. There are not many people who can go to the mountainside, let alone go through."

Sauter also said, "Yes. To be honest, I doubt if you set a three-day period. Go to the mountainside. In my opinion, three days are simply not enough."

"Can't you pass the mountain road for more than two hundred miles in three days?" I asked unconvincingly.

Sauter saw that I didn’t believe it and immediately said, “Yes, it’s more than two hundred miles of mountain roads, but let alone three days, five days will pass even if we run faster. This mountain road is different from the flat ground. If it’s on the prairie, you have a better mount, let alone three days, an hour will pass in less than two hundred miles. But here is Wanya Mountain! We are not exactly walking, we must be halfway More or less there will always be some devil beasts. If the low-level ones are good, we will have to take a detour when we encounter some 900-level or 1,000-level monsters. This process will undoubtedly delay time, and there are some similar sheer cliffs. For terrain obstacles such as and precipitous rock faces, it will take a lot of effort to think about it. If you calculate two hundred miles at the speed on flat ground, it does not take that long, but in the mountains, three days are definitely not enough."

After listening to Sauter's words, I no longer argued with him, but nodded to express my understanding. It was not that I agreed with his point of view, but that I figured out the reason. According to him, it would take more than three days to bring ordinary players across the mountain, and even the five days he said are conservative estimates. The biggest reason for this is what they call devil beast.

For me, unless I run into the presence of regional guards or regional general BOSS-Rank, ordinary monsters simply do not pose a threat. But the problem is that it is my standard. For average players, because wild monsters generally have the advantage of terrain adaptability to the area where they appear, even if the level is equal, many players will still suffer. For example, a level 900 player encounters a level 900 ice giant. Needless to say, you will definitely not run into an ice giant in the desert, and the place where you can meet an ice giant must be a place where your jaw can be frozen. In this Extreme Cold zone, even two 900-level players may not have done a 900-level ice giant, so it is generally troublesome to encounter local wild monsters in the wild.

These guides usually take ordinary players out to act. If you encounter a low-level monster, you can solve it together, and it won't take much time. But if you run into high level goods, it will be terrible. If you can't be discovered by the other party, you'll be lucky if you waste several times of time and go around a big circle. Therefore, in such a place, the time required on the road cannot be simply divided by the distance by the speed, and the time calculated in that way is definitely inaccurate.

However, although I know that the so-called monsters are not a threat to me, I have no plans to argue with these two. We talked for a long time because of my identity, but I didn’t clarify it. I’ll explain to them that I’m not afraid of those monsters. They certainly don’t believe it. Instead of wasting that time, I should wait for the next time I really run into it and kill the monsters. Come directly. Facts speak louder than words, and it is easier for them to see my strength than to tell them myself.

"Well, let's go quickly and remind me when we meet monster you two."

"Of course." Aduo said seriously, "I spot the danger ahead of time. And to warn the guests is the main responsibility of our field guides. We are professional at this point, so you can rest assured."

As expected, A Duo didn't speak big words. They were indeed professional in discovering monsters. We walked less than half an hour after leaving the platform and ran into a passing devil beast. Across from far away, Ado and Sauter dragged me behind the rock on the side of the road, and then Ado whispered to me: "There is a rock sheep in front of me, a 650 Level 10 monster. You want to kill it. Or wait for it to pass?"

"Why wait for it to pass?" I asked in surprise.

Sauter explained: "This is because the strength of each guest is different. Some guests just come to play, or their own battle strength is not good. It takes time to deal with this thing, and some people find it troublesome. , So I don’t want to attack it. Because the rock sheep itself is an active attacking monster, those who don’t want to attack the rock sheep will wait for it to pass before leaving. This saves trouble. Of course, for us, the rock sheep’s strength is very average, if It’s okay if you want to kill it. If you let the two of us help, it will take a few tens of seconds at most. Of course, because you signed an agreement that does not require combat, you will have to pay extra for our action."< /p>

They are talking here, the shale on the other side has already swayed out of a forest. I didn’t listen to the two guides at all, and flashed out from behind the rock and waved my hand. The shale on the opposite side The head is separated from the body in an instant.

Aduo and Sauter didn’t expect that I would run out suddenly, and when they both reacted and followed out, I discovered that the head of the rock sheep was missing, and its body was still standing. There, blood was spraying out from the neck.

I originally thought that if these two natural guides saw the scene of me killing Byan sheep in an instant, they would be able to have a more intuitive understanding of my strength. Who knows I still underestimate their natural stupidity too much.

"Hurry up and hide."

Just as I was proudly preparing to meet the surprised inquiries from Aduo and Sauter, what I waited for was a scream, and Sauter said this The guy actually threw me to the ground and dragged me back behind the rock.

"What the hell is going on?" I was still confused when I was dragged behind the rock. Didn't you kill a monster of more than 600 levels? As for such a big reaction? Besides, if I kill a monster, why are they still looking like an enemy? Could it be that……?

Sure enough, Sauter desperately pressed me behind the rock while sticking one's head around to look for observing the surrounding environment, and at the same time nervously said to me: "Hurry up and hide it. Can be killed instantly Yan Yang did not even have time to react. It was a monster above level 1,000. Damn, this place is so close to the entrance, how come out of a monster above level 1,000? That kind of thing shouldn’t go deep into the mountains. Is it there?"

"That..." I stabbed Sauter, and then waited for him to turn around and said, "Did you make a mistake?"

"Wrong?" Sauter muttered to himself in a thoughtful manner: "The head of the rock sheep is gone, and the body is still standing. The monster that attacked it must be faster than the rock sheep company. I didn’t even see it, otherwise there would be no such effect. It’s really wrong to say that. It’s not a level 1,000 monster, but a boss above level 1,200. No, so we all have to. Die here, after I stay and break, you go first."

"It's OK, I'm defeated by the two of you." Seeing that A'duo really wants to come and pull me as Soter said Let’s go first, I quickly stood up and said: "The Barrow was not killed by a monster."

"It was not killed by a monster? What could it be? Other players?"

" It's a player, but not another player. I killed the Yanyang." These two naturally didn't have the slightest ability to associate, and they couldn't understand from your language any point that needed reasoning without telling the facts directly. information.

"You killed?" Sauter looked at me for a while, then burst into laughter. "Hahahaha, don't be kidding. You just went out less than a second earlier than us, where's the time to shoot?"

After Sauter said this, I took the eternity directly And in the surprised eyes of Sauter and Aduo, he transformed it into a whip sword shape, and then said: "I'm optimistic." When I said the last word, my wrist suddenly shook, and then instantly returned to the previous one. People with bad looks and bad eyes can't even tell that I have moved.

After waiting for a few seconds, Sauter reacted and asked in surprise: "What are you showing us? Nothing happened?"

I did not speak, but reached out. Gently tap on the rock the size of a minivan next to it, and only listen to the boom that the rock instantly shattered into a stone chestnut, and each piece of rubble was no more than the size of a glass marble.

Seeing that Sauter’s expression changed from indifferent to surprised to shocked, and finally changed to nervousness, I hurriedly said: "Don’t call out monsters anymore. If you don’t believe me, just point me. Goal, tell me whether to cut into pieces or slices, or if you want powder."

This time, instead of waiting for Sauter to speak, A'duo directly pointed at the back of the fallen rock sheep. Rock said: "On that stone, if you stand here and can attack that stone, I believe you have the strength to kill a rock sheep at this distance."

Aduo looks like Bissot. Still smarter. She didn't believe that I killed Yanyang before. The most important thing was distance. The rock sheep is more than ten meters away from where we are, and what I hold in my hand is just a sword. Although it is not impossible to use a sword to attack a target more than ten meters away, you need to launch sword qi or something, and that kind of thing is generally formidable power, even after killing the rock sheep, it will stay on the mountain or rock behind. There are obvious traces, and it will produce effects such as explosions. Impossible is as silent as I was before.

After listening to A'duo’s request, I directly pushed Sauter, who was still in a daze, to the side, and then raised my hand and waved the Eternal Sword. The Eternal Sword is now in the form of a whip sword, and my flick immediately disintegrated. It stretched, swept through the distant rocks and retracted again in an instant. The fast ones were still unable to see clearly, but a section of the rock protruding from the side of the mountain road on the opposite side suddenly cracked open with a crack, and one of them was half suspended. The rock fell off the main body and rolled onto the road, while the rock on the mountain wall left a smooth, mirror-like section on the main body.

"Hey..." At the same time, Ato and Sauter heard a hiccup-like gasp. Obviously they had never seen such a fast and powerful attack before. The most important thing is that my attack range is too scary. Obviously it is the same equipment as the warrior, it can actually attack the target more than ten meters away, and there is such a huge might, which is really scary.

"Do you believe it now?"

The two were desperately nodded together, and A Duo quickly turned around, stretched out a finger and pointed at me carefully and asked: "That You said before that you are..."

"Purple Moon. I didn't lie to you. I really am the president of the Frost Rose League. Although I don't know where you are watching the video, I am me."

Aduo nodded and said: "Yes, your weapon is exactly the same as the one seen on the video, but your equipment...?"

I suddenly thought of a question, and then Tentatively asked: "Do you have time for the video you saw? Did you say when it was the video?"

Aduo and Sauter quickly fell into contemplation, and finally reported an accurate Time, and I only understand what happened after a little recollection. The video they saw was actually a record of my early battle together. At that time, my equipment was not the Divine Dragon suit, but the Devil Dragon suit. The Divine Dragon suit I am wearing now was upgraded from the transformation of the Devil Dragon suit to the national equipment when the national equipment was promoted. The magic dragon suit that hadn't been modified at the time was evil equipment, and it was natural that it was darker in color. Although the Divine Dragon suit is based on the magic dragon suit, it has been modified after all. The appearance and color will change somewhat. These two people have not watched my recent battle video for a long time, so they admit their mistakes.

After I figured out my identity, the performances of Aduo and Sauter were obviously different. First, the enthusiasm was greatly increased, and the second was that our way of moving forward was completely changed. The reason why our movement speed was very slow before was completely because Aduo and Sauter wanted to guard against devil beasts nearby, so they did not dare to go too fast. After knowing my identity, their courage obviously rose in a straight line. Don't look at what monsters are not monsters, just rush forward, anyway, if a monster appears, I will solve it immediately.

Because we don’t need to take into account the monsters that get in the way, our moving speed can be said to be super fast. Later, in order to speed up, I even loaned the steel claws to summon to Ador and Soter for walking, and I He rode Ye Ye Ying.

Originally, when Ye Ying was first released by Summon, A'dor and Sauter wanted to say that there was no way to ride a horse in the mountains, but when they found that Ye Ying was completely flying, they stopped making a sound. As for the steel claws, this guy's claws are really suitable for climbing mountains. Although it has no suction cups on its claws, its center of gravity is low. Second, this guy's claws can be inserted into the rock to fix itself. Third, the twelve powerful tentacles on the back of the steel claws can be inserted nearby. Used as a fixator in the rock or mountain. Not to mention just a steep mountain, even if it is a vertical cliff, steel claws can directly climb up.

With the mount, the speed is obviously different. The three of us rushed along the way, the monsters with a level below 1,500, I don’t even bother to watch them. All of them are one hit instant kill, and it’s even higher. Level monsters, so far I haven't encountered one.

To be honest, it’s safer to cross the border and fly through the air. Of course, this means that you have a flying mount that can fly high. The national boundary is generally three-dimensional, not only on the ground, but also in low-altitude areas and underground. There are many high-level creatures on the cross section of the boundary. Passing the national border, that is pure dreaming. However, my mission this time is to investigate what bad things the Russians intend to do. It is not to simply cross national borders, so you can't fly from the sky, or you don't have to be so troublesome at all.

According to Soter and A'duo’s plan, it would take at least five days to cross Wanya Mountain, but because of the speed of the mount and my battle strength, this time was shortened to three hours. It was because the two of them lost a lot of time when they didn't know my identity before. However, the easy journey ends here.

"Purple Moon, from here on, we have to be careful. Although you are really strong, but from the beginning, it is not a general leveling area but a national barrier, so..."

"I understand this. I have crossed the national barrier before, and I know the dangers in it."

Now Wanya Mountain behind us and this unknown piece of land in front of us Although the mountain range is so tightly attached to each other, it is more appropriate to describe this place in one sentence-a step back to heaven and further hell.

Although the two mountains are close together, the Wanya Mountain behind us belongs to the sightseeing leveling area, while the unknown mountain range in front of us belongs to the national barrier.

As the name suggests, the sightseeing leveling area is a place for players to travel or level up. The monster here is for players to watch and hunt. Although the monster in the leveling area can only kill the player, as long as the player is not rash, it is rare to be killed by the monster. However, the national barrier separated by a mountain is another matter.

Different from the sightseeing and leveling area for players to refresh, the purpose of the national barrier is not for players to play. Its purpose is to block the free passage of players between the two countries. It belongs to the system. One of the right to interference. If you use the analogy in reality, the sightseeing leveling area is equivalent to a dangerous playground with casualties, and the national barrier is a military restricted area. No matter how dangerous the playground is, it is still a playground. Ten thousand people can die if one is too many, but the national barrier is even if ten thousand people can come out, even if there are too many. Therefore, the two are not a concept at all. Regardless of how close they are, and even the terrain is similar, if anyone treats them as the same existence, it is purely courting death.

"Well, now it's time for you to play a role." I said to Ador and Sauter: "Come on with your abilities and let us avoid detours."

p>

Aduo said with some uncertainty: "That...we have not actually been here, but the only dangerous creatures in the national barrier, the geographical environment should still follow the rules of terrain gradual change, so we can only To help you prevent some of the environmental hazards, you have to solve the others yourself."

I nodded and said: "That's natural. The monster in the national barrier started at level 1,000. Your strength There’s definitely no way to fight here. But don’t worry, it’s not a problem to have me, you just need to find the way for me."

"This is okay, but where are you going? "

I thought about it for a while and said: "The goal now is to cross the border, but if there is any strange place, I must tell me, I am not sure where my ultimate goal is for the time being."< /p>

Since I’m looking for clues, naturally I can’t determine the target, but with the abilities of the two guides, if there is an abnormality, they should be easier to find than me. After all, they are better than me on the terrain. I want to know something.

Because of the danger of the national barrier, it is obviously impossible to ride a mount forward. Moreover, we are searching for abnormal situations and not in a hurry, so we don't need the speed of the mount. In the reluctant gaze of Aduo and Sauter, I withdrew the steel claw and the night shadow, and I directly brought out the dart and the white wave summon. Originally exploring in the mountains and forests, summon rose vines and pioneers would be helpful, but considering that this is a national barrier area, there are also high level monsters underground, in order to avoid trouble, I don’t have summon pioneers and rose vines. In the same way, air units cannot appear, because the national barrier is to block all passing targets. I don’t normally have flying units to trouble me if I don’t summon flying units, but as long as I release a flying unit, there will be one immediately. A group of flying monsters rushed over. I'm here to find the way, not to fight, so it's better to keep a low profile.

As soon as the darts appeared, they immediately attracted A'duo's attention. After all, the image of the darts was really liked by girls. Generally, eight out of ten girls have no resistance to this fluffy little thing with a pair of invincible star eyes. Moreover, the big tail of the dart is really fluffy, and even boys will not bear it. I want to go up and rub it.

Seeing that A'duo was about to hug himself, Darts immediately glanced at me, and when he found that I had nothing to say, he immediately appeared on my shoulder and moved towards the tree branch squatting between him. The past Adu rushed for nothing.

"Huh?" Adu, who didn't catch him, was a little surprised, but immediately came over to hug him when he found the dart on my shoulder, but was blocked by my hand.

"The dart is a combat scout-type monster, not a fun pet, so he doesn't like strangers to hug him."

"Oh." A Duo gave up holding a little disappointed. I planned to dart, but my eyes never left the body of the dart.

Seeing that she is so obsessed, I had to let the darts go away for a while, otherwise Ato would not be able to work. "Darts. Go and check if there are any dangerous creatures nearby." The darts heard me nodded, and then the white light flashed disappeared in an instant.

"Does it transmit magic?" Ato saw that the dart disappeared instantly, and asked me in surprise immediately.

I shook the head and said: "The special ability of a dart is to move at the speed of light, because the speed is synchronized with the light, so when it moves, the light cannot reflect on him normally, and you can’t see it. He is. In fact, even if you can see the reflected light from him, your dynamic vision cannot keep up with his speed, and in the end you will still completely lose sight of his movements."

"The speed of light moves? "Sauter was taken aback when he heard this word. "Isn't that invincible? If he keeps running, who can catch it?"

I nodded: "Unless it is an instant-on Formation skill that can trap it, just darts If you don’t want to fight, then no one can take him. After all, the speed of light is too fast, even if he doesn’t run away, it’s impossible for others to attack him. However, the attack power of darts is very low, so although the speed is fast, the combined battle strength But it’s not high."

"With this speed, even if you have no attack power at all, it is enough." Sauter finished speaking and said: "Yes, I heard that President Purple Moon has a lot of familiars, why There are only two summons?"

"The key to whether the trainer is strong or not lies in whether he can choose the right pets to fight according to the environment, instead of taking all the pets in one mind in any scene. Throw it out. The sea of ​​war tactics are only suitable for Necromancer, who specializes in skeletons. The trainer profession is not won by numbers."

"Oh, I have been taught."

Next During the time, with the help of Ador and Sauter, we shuttled all the way through the mountains and forests. Some of the dangers caused by the special terrain on the ground were discovered by Ador and Sauter and dealt with them in advance. In terms of devil beast, Thanks to the contribution of the super scout, the dart, all creatures over two thousand level were bypassed in advance by us. Although I can handle any monster below level 2,500 by myself, this is a national barrier area after all. I don’t want to get a group of monsters halfway through, and fight with monsters here unless you bring 20,000 to 30,000 high. level player, otherwise don't even think about it.

"It's weird." I was walking with Ado, but Sudden suddenly muttered to a wild fruit on the ground.

The game "Zero" has food settings. Basically, the creatures in the game, including players, need to eat. Among them, in order to provide convenience to players who know how to gather, there are often some edible fruits in the wild, and most of these fruits like to eat by book monsters. Because these fruits without any special attributes other than filling the stomach are widely distributed, these things usually do not attract people's attention, but Sauter is obviously interested in this fruit in front of him.

"Soter, what's the matter?" I walked to behind and asked.

Sauter looked back at me hesitantly, and then said: "Didn't you let us tell you anything suspicious?"

"Yes, I am so Speaking of it. Do you think this fruit is suspicious?"

Sott nodded said: "It's really suspicious."

I took the one that had been trampled suspiciously. Guo Guo looked at it, and then said, "What's suspicious about this? Isn't it just a crushed fruit?"
