Chapter 62: The Meaning of the Nameless One
Staring at the scene of his own death blankly, Huang Ping began to recall what he just said.
I bravely charged the three Tibetan cavalry, holding the leather shield in front of me. According to my inference, these low-level NPCs should be thrown away by my shield, and then I would take the opportunity to hit them.
But, the result is... I was killed?
Although those cavalrymen have big beards, they are definitely young people, because they do not respect martial ethics!
Huang Ping, who did not believe in evil, restarted the game from the save point.
This time, he chose to act covertly and waited for an opportunity to attack. The spear in his hand successfully pierced a cavalryman and pierced the opponent's waist with the help of automatic aiming.
I wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue him, but unexpectedly, two other cavalrymen rushed towards me on horseback. The saber in their hands was like a magic weapon with the speed of the horses, and they cut off their heads.
"defeat".
The red text kept changing in Huang Ping's eyes, sometimes turning into "cai", sometimes turning into "weak".
Huang Ping was speechless after dying twice in the novice tutorial.
Boss, if you want to be a soul-based person and make people suffer, please just say it. There is no need to hide it secretly.
Although the soul genre can barely be regarded as a war theme, the degree of relevance is similar to saying that the soul genre is about love and development.
After all, we all have little sisters!
After taking a long breath, Huang Ping was about to complain to the monkey on the side about the difficulty of the game, when he saw that the picture of the monkey was a scene he had never seen before.
The sky is filled with yellow sand and the heat is unbearable. The protagonist wanders alone in the desert.
The water bottle in his hand has reached the bottom, and the characters in the game are more likely to lack water in the desert environment, and are already on the verge of death.
However, the monkey was not afraid at all. When passing a shadow on the ground, he bent his bow and shot an arrow. The birds in the sky fell down and became the monkey's trophy.
Hanging the bird on his back, the monkey confirmed the direction of the bird, then slowly walked in the direction of the bird, and found a water source before dying of thirst.
Staring at the monkey interface, Huang Ping asked doubtfully: "Are our birth points different?"
"I don't know. I was born in a slave town in Tubo. When I came out, I was robbed by the Tubo cavalry. What about you?"
"The same. "
There should be no random birthplace, everyone's initial position is the same. The difficulty of this game is not bad, and it is quite comfortable to play."
Huang Ping originally wanted to ask you how you killed the three cavalry in the opening, but seeing how easy the monkey was, it was a bit... I'm sorry.
You can still fool someone without asking, but if you ask, you will prove that you are the real deal.
Knowing that he couldn't play this kind of suffering game, Huang Ping simply moved a chair, sat next to the monkey, and began to watch the other's movements.
Different from Fang Cheng’s previous works, this game has no skills, no tree lifting, and only two words:
reality.
By observing the monkey's game process, Huang Ping finally learned more about how to play the game.
The game has a time system. In the game, players can arrange for characters to exercise, or they can also arrange a certain time to rush and move to other locations. During this time, if no random events occur, game time will flow quickly until the scheduled events are completed.
In addition, the game also has an extremely detailed attribute system and an outrageously realistic combat system.
There is no health bar or anything like that. If you cut it on the head, it will kill you with one hit. No matter how high the attributes are, it won't work.
Vision will be reduced at night, and if you eat an unbalanced diet for a long time, you will suffer from night blindness, making you almost completely unable to move at night.
Shoes that don't fit well can cause blood blisters, which can slow down movement and even lead to deformities.
Just watching the monkeys play, Huang Ping felt dizzy.
But because it is very real, it is not too difficult to understand, just take everything as true.
Since you are playing an ordinary person, the perspective of the game is entirely that of a soldier. In the game, the Tang Dynasty has declined. Tubo has divided the Tang Dynasty in two from the middle. The Anxi Protectorate in the Western Region has become an isolated land and is in danger under the attack of Tubo.
The protagonist is a little man who was born in the occupied area, but he has been very yearning for the Tang Dynasty since he was born, and by chance, he received training from the wounded soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
As an adult, he furiously killed three Tibetan cavalry who came to plunder the town, and then went into exile. When he learned that the Duhufu was still resisting Tibet, he decided to join the Duhufu and started battles one after another.
Before joining the Protectorate, the protagonist's experience can only be described as hell.
He is like a lone wolf in the desert. He has to find food and maintain water sources by himself. Drinking raw water is likely to cause parasites, and then he will die miserably from vomiting and diarrhea.
Small injuries that modern people don't care about have become fatal injuries. After being injured, movement is hindered and it is difficult to obtain food. This makes every hunt and battle must be very careful. A small wound may be infected with tetanus, and then die suddenly.
But the more trivial things there are, the more enjoyable it will be once the battle begins.
Especially when watching monkeys play, you can feel the tension and excitement of seeing blood and deadly moves.
Different from common Souls-like games, "The Nameless One" is more like an incredibly realistic combat game.
The enemy AI is also incredibly realistic. They will pretend to surrender, run away, and once they find they are invincible, they will even resort to a lose-lose strategy, forcing the player to make a choice.
If you are not careful, you will be disappointed in the battlefield even if you are sure of winning. Every battle is particularly exciting.
Different from the precarious situation when he was a lone wolf, once he successfully entered the Protectorate, it was a different feeling.
The population of the Protectorate is relatively older, so when the young unknown person comes here, he is like a group favorite.
Veterans in their thirties will pester the protagonist every day and tell him stories;
some veterans will constantly repeat the prosperity of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, even if they have never been to Chang'an;
players will see the red willow tree at the entrance of the camp , the branches are already covered with the hair of soldiers who are out.
Only at this moment did Huang Ping know what his mission as a guide was.
He is the messenger.
Every once in a while, the Anxi Protectorate would send messengers to Chang'an to tell the emperor of Chang'an that the Anxi Protectorate had not fallen and that the place was still resisting the Tibetans.
We have few soldiers, old weapons, zero horses, and need to be self-sufficient in food, but we are still here and never surrendered.
In this place, seven thousand miles away from Chang'an, there are still people who love Chang'an and are guarding this territory for the Tang Dynasty.
However, Anxi Protectorate and Chang'an have been separated for a long time.
The road has disappeared into the yellow sand, and the Tubo and other foreign tribes are wreaking havoc on the only way. Going to Chang'an is basically a dead end.
But every once in a while, someone takes the initiative to ask for permission to go to Chang'an as a messenger. Even if he died, he would die on the way to Chang'an.
After learning about these things through other veterans, Huang Ping fell silent.
At this moment, he seemed to understand the significance of Fang Cheng's setting of the environment to be so real and the protagonist having to go through so many hardships.
Only by experiencing it can we empathize.
Through the screen, he could feel the plight of the soldiers.
If he were to actually experience it, he wouldn't even be able to survive a day.
But it is these soldiers who have endured hardships that others have never experienced, but they are still stationed here.
Their names have disappeared, and they are just nameless people. They show the character of the Tang Dynasty in the yellow sand and straighten the backbone of the nation in history.
This is the meaning of the nameless one.
