Lost Narrative Poetry

"The quality of this game... is simply amazing. It feels like you have really traveled through time. Is this a next-generation game with complete stealth?"

The previous anger and resentment were completely gone, and even the disgusting and resentful feeling towards the environment just now seemed to be forgotten all of a sudden. Yan An, looking at his raised hands and feeling the real feeling, couldn't bear it at this moment. The resident murmured to himself.

The hands in front of me are covered with calluses and scratches. At first glance, they are the palms of working people who are working hard to make a living. They are so clearly visible that even the hair on the arms is visible...

The air is filled with the smell of decay and dampness, which is the unique smell of damp and rotten wood. I don't know if it's because I just saw the port and the sea in the distance. I always feel that there is a trace of salty smell in the air due to psychological effects. smell……

In my ears, I could hear the commotion outside, the footsteps of various people coming and going, the shouts and shouts of arguments, friction and conflicts...

There is also the touch of the skin. You can also clearly feel the slightly cold temperature in the air, and even the dampness of the water vapor unique to the offshore sea and the greasy feeling on the touch...

All in all, everything is so clear and clear, and the feedback from all sensory perceptions tells him that this seems to be a real world. He can act according to his own thoughts and make various actions.

Whether it was walking back and forth or making sounds, Yan An was deeply fascinated by the impact of this experience.

Excited, anxious, ecstatic...

Probably because for a while, all kinds of emotions appeared in his consciousness at the same time, which seemed too complicated. Even he didn't know what he was thinking at this time. It seemed that the thoughts in his mind were uncontrollable and random. A blank, thinking about nothing.

After a while, he remembered something important, so he quickly looked down at his body, pinching his arms here and his thighs there, which still felt quite novel.

No wonder I didn't notice something was wrong the first time after waking up. It was just like my original body.

The sensory perception is clear and completely synchronized, and all feedback is immediate and timely. Putting aside these things, it seems that even the height and weight are the same as his own, quite close. This is the important reason why he feels natural!

He tried to open the most basic character panel, and a series of data streams quickly appeared in his field of vision, intertwined into a special projection page.

You don’t need to say any keywords or do any operations, it’s just mind interaction. You can open it directly if you want to, which is very convenient. And this scene was like the name of the previous "Hanoi Port" map being displayed, which made Yan An lose his breath.

It was as if he had taken a reassurance, because it was too real. If he didn't find some anchor points for reference, he would subconsciously feel that he had traveled to some other world, and subconsciously he would feel palpitations and panic.

"Wait, is that it?"

It seemed that the template was too simple, and Yan An couldn't help complaining. He looked at it carefully and felt that it might be because he hadn't really chosen a career yet, so many things were not enabled.

Moreover, this character seemed to give him a pretty good feeling. It was indeed the first option in his choice list in terms of overall quality. Except for mental retardation, none of the other attributes were below the standard.

Although there is no explanation, as long as anyone with a normal IQ takes a look at it, they should know that the standard values ​​​​of the six attributes are all 10 points. And the attributes of this character are indeed relatively balanced, but they still have advantages in some aspects.

Without even needing any background or story to explain, Yan An was able to outline the past experiences of his body as a matter of course——

Living around the docks, the constant physical labor has worn out calluses on the young man's hands, and also given his physical strength a lot of exercise...

However, judging from the outstanding agility attributes, and corresponding skills and expertise, this young man's previous experience is more complicated. It seems that he is not only an honest laborer, but sometimes he may also do some sneaky things...

Yan An didn't think too much and continued to check other system functions, but found that many functions found in normal games were not available here.

But it seems to be expected. This game seems to be determined to pursue reality. He now feels that it is better this way, without so many bells and whistles, which in turn ruins the game experience - at least that's what he thinks now. .

After confirming the existence of the most basic function to exit the game, he felt relieved, then walked to the door with high spirits, pulled the latch, and walked out, ready to embrace the real world.

The strong and real breath of life comes to your face!

As soon as you go out on this side of the door, you will see a chaotic neighborhood. People in shabby clothes are either walking alone in a hurry or in small groups, coming and going. Some are carrying heavy goods on their shoulders, while others are pushing wheelbarrows.

The entire road was muddy, and there was also the smell of excrement and excrement left by various mules and horses. It was so strong that it assaulted Yan An's expression.

This is so damn real!

And didn’t he choose to be born as a commoner? Can people who hang out in such a ghost place to earn a living be considered civilians? They are clearly poor people, but they feel just a hair away from slaves.

He resisted the feeling of nausea and kept convincing himself that this was just an experience in the game, before he bravely walked out.

There are many NPCs walking around, not just humans, but also dwarves, half-elves, half-orcs and other characters. This feeling of being transported to a different world in the Middle Ages really dazzled Yan An and made him feel more novel.

In his field of vision, there is still a special treatment for players, that is, the various pedestrian NPCs coming and going have a name on their heads.

However, there are only a few people with bright names on their heads. Most of them only have a question mark like "???", indicating unknown. As for why there is such a difference, Yan An doesn't know.

But soon, he vaguely discovered that the NPCs with names above their heads would interact with him in a slightly unique way. They might just smile at him or simply nod in greeting.

Although most of them were simple and subtle movements, they were invisibly distinguished from other NPCs who directly ignored him. Yan An probably had a clear understanding. Could it be that the NPC whose name he could directly see represented Someone you have met and interacted with before taking on this default identity of yours?

This kind of guidance seems good, but if you can do this, why did you have to do so many stiff, lame, and annoying novice tutorials before?

Yan An's mood improved a little. He stood on the edge of the muddy road with great interest, watching all kinds of pedestrians hurriedly coming and going. He felt that a vivid and real picture of life was unfolding in front of him.

I just don’t know if all these NPCs are intelligent?

An idea popped up in his mind, and he suddenly became curious. This game was beyond his imagination, but if the NPC in it was still stupid and would only repeat fixed lines and processes, it would be a failure.

"Hey, hey! Can you hear me?"

Just do it if you want, Yan An said directly to an NPC who was walking past him with a heavy load and sweating profusely.

"..."

"..."

The strong man walked as fast as flying. He didn't care about him at all and just passed by in one go.

Yan An was stunned for a moment, and then repeated this process several times, but it was basically the same. The best one was to glare at him impatiently and pass by directly, as if he had no time and He's just as wasteful.

"That's true. Through this clever design, doesn't it allow irrelevant NPCs to simply become the background and not interact with the players?"

He stood there, disappointment evident on his face.

"But you just treat people as fools. You may think these reactions are unique and real at first, but they will be exposed later, and there is not even a guide. Who knows what NPC is relevant? Or they don't have names. Are they all in the background?”

When he thought about it this way, the whole game suddenly became much smaller, and even made him feel that it was too big and too superficial.

After all, if the nameless NPCs are all used to fill in the background, then it is better to delete them all, save some performance, and use them exclusively to fill in some useful content.

Yan An, who felt that his mood had been on a roller coaster, let out a long sigh and grabbed a rude figure who was about to walk quickly by, ready to try again.

"Get away! Don't block the road!"

This time, it was a strong man nearly two meters tall. He looked very unhappy, as if something had just happened that made him angry. Moreover, he was not carrying any goods or anything, he just walked by quickly.

So before Yan An could speak, he had already cursed extremely irritably and shook the former's hand away with all his strength.

"Oh, you still have a temper, don't you?"

And how to deal with such a violent personality? Yan An was shocked at first, and then he was not happy anymore. The player's temper got worse——

"How about I just block your way, and you bite me!"

As he spoke, he reached out his hand and continued to hold the NPC, refusing to let him go.

"Boy! Are you crazy?"

On the contrary, the strong man seemed to be a little confused. He looked up and down at the lunatic in front of him. He was convinced that the lunatic in front of him was indeed just a bastard. But for some reason, he seemed to have lost his mind and gone crazy today.

"Do you know who I am? Or do you want to stop hanging out in this area?"

"You actually have lines? Wait, I don't care who you are, this is none of my business..."

Yan An said carelessly, muttering in his heart at the same time, is this the normal way of interacting? Or is it just because of good luck that I came into contact with the mission NPC, not the background background player that I couldn't interact with before?

"Go away now! I don't have to worry about you..."

The strong man's face was gloomy. He felt that he might really have encountered a madman. He didn't want to worry too much about this kind of idiot, so he had to go around him.

"I just won't leave! What can you do? Beat me if you can..."

Yan An turned around and continued to block the opponent's front, saying coquettishly.

If it weren't for the preset dialogue trigger, the AI ​​seemed to be quite agile. As far as this response was concerned, it seemed to be no different from a real person. He wanted to see what would happen if it continued.

"You are looking for death!" The strong man, who was already in a bad mood because of certain things, was even more angry. He growled and threatened in a low voice, his eyes full of murderous intent. "Guess how many I killed for a loser like you who lacks inspiration?!"

"Come if you can! If you don't kill me, you are my grandson!"

Yan An continued to provoke proudly, and was interested in seeing how the other party would respond next.

No matter what, this is just a way to trigger the mission and lead to the next plot line. Are I really afraid that he will bite me?

The strong man stared at him with eyes full of murderous intent. The crowd around him seemed to have noticed something. Some people who were familiar with Brown looked at him with disbelief, wondering whether Brown had damaged his brain today.

"..."

"..."

Yan An was completely unaware that the body's original owner's specialties such as "Observation of Moments" and "Alertness" were completely unable to exert their due effects due to the player's bad nature. He had long forgotten all the previous incidents. Warning reminder, I have long forgotten the reality of the world that I was still feeling before.

He just thinks that he is a player and can do anything to these NPCs. How can he be so stupid that he can integrate into the characters and act with them?

"You wait……"

The strong man suppressed something and glanced around. He was still a little afraid of killing people in public. He could only say these words in a dark voice, turned around and walked away quickly.

"Hey! Don't leave! Aren't I waiting? Why are you so timid..." Yan An shouted dissatisfied and hurried after him.

The strong man suddenly became even more furious and quickened his pace, as did Yan An. The two of them quickly left the area one after the other.

Only the crowd was left in an uproar. Many people couldn't help but discuss. Some people looked at the direction where the good boy from the past left with sadness and regret, knowing that no matter whether the other person suddenly became mentally retarded today, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to come back. .

…

…

"Are you finally willing to stop?"

On the other side, Yan An had no idea what he was about to encounter. He just followed the strong man around and soon came to a remote alley.

The strong man also stopped in front.

"Is this the place where the mission is officially triggered? It's really remote..." Yan An said carelessly, and walked directly forward, "Okay, if you have any scenes, let's start quickly, I..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

The strong man in front suddenly turned around and rushed forward, a cold light flashing past.

laugh! The sound of the sharp blade piercing flesh and blood splashing, Yan An didn't even react, and before he felt the pain, the strong man had already pulled out the sharp blade with a long string of blood beads, and then stabbed it in hard again!

He didn't say a word, and he didn't roar in anger. He just clamped the head of this clueless brainless man under his armpit, and his other thick and powerful arm kept stabbing sharp blades into the opponent's body!

One moment, one moment, one moment...

Deep puncture wounds appeared instantly, and then were overflowed and submerged by red liquid. Yan An's entire body instantly turned into a half-blooded man.

The severe and real pain finally came too late. The sharp blade cut through the flesh and penetrated the bones, bringing maddening pain. The pain and fear rushed straight to his forehead. The excessive reality made Yan An unable to distinguish reality for a moment. .

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!"

Extremely frightened, he struggled in terror, opened his eyes wide, and screamed like a frightened middle-aged woman.

But in just a few seconds, the voice quickly weakened...

The alley was filled with the strong smell of blood. The strong man loosened his arms, and his body fell limply. His weak and unwilling instinctive struggle had no strength, and his head hit the muddy and cold road heavily. superior.

In his frightened and desperate eyes, he only saw a ruthless big foot falling from the sky——

Click!

Under the huge and brutal force, the neck bones were broken!
