Green mountains and forests.

Along with a breeze, Xiao Zhi's figure appeared in the forest.

He knew nothing about the situation after he left, but felt a little sad looking at the withered leaf in his hand.

This is a random teleportation prop called [Floating Leaf], and it is a one-time use.

In ZERO, teleportation props are extremely expensive. They were very expensive before inflation, and now they are so expensive that it makes Xiao Zhi's heart ache just to look at them.

If he was just playing games, he might rather die than use this. But as far as the current situation is concerned, he is worried that if he dies, he will really burp his fart, and he will have to use it to escape no matter how painful it is.

Throwing away the dead leaves in his hands, Xiao Zhi felt that he was closer to the abyss of poverty.

Looking at the surrounding environment, the [Floating Leaves] seemed to have brought him to the Chiba Country area bordering Heisen.

Chiba Kingdom is one of the forces on the Dazemenya continent.

It is mainly composed of wood spirits, but also inhabited by humans and some gentle orcs. The natural environment here is comfortable, the products are rich, and the public security is good. Many players like to buy houses here, and it is nicknamed a retirement resort.

Xiao Zhi opened his backpack and wanted to sort out his items, but unexpectedly found that his game interface lit up.

He checked his interface and found that all functions except offline had been restored. Although he was still unable to leave the game, it was much better than before, which made him feel happy.

It was too dangerous to wear a handsome face like a wanted criminal in the game. Xiao Zhi clicked on the face-shaping interface and prepared to change his face.

ZERO allows players to re-pin their faces, but it does not support the import of face-pinching data, which is particularly unfriendly to disabled players. But wherever there is demand, there is industry, and many players have also taken the opportunity to develop plastic surgery businesses.

Xiao Zhi's original profession was a human figure artist. His works are exquisite and gorgeous, with a unique personal style. He has many fans on social media, so it's not difficult for him to make faces.

He pinched a few faces and saved them before, but he didn't expect that they would come in handy now.

After a moment, Xiao Zhi's original appearance was replaced by a face with warm eyebrows and a somewhat bookish look.

He smiled slightly, showing a gentle and clean feeling. He looked very innocent, without the slightest hint of being a bastard. In this way, he doesn't have to worry about being wanted for the time being.

Although it is unclear why his name is not on the wanted poster, the safest way is to change his name as well.

Unfortunately, Xiao Zhi does not have the name-changing props on him. ZERO does not have a system mall. Players need to explore and obtain the name-changing props by themselves. This can only be done for now.

Anyway, the player's name will not be directly displayed on the player's head in the game, and there will be no prompts when being attacked. To know his name, two people must exchange friends, or Xiao Zhi himself can chat and expose himself anonymously in the world channel and forum.

After solving the most important problem, Xiao Zhi began to think about other things.

In ZERO, players' online activities will consume physical strength and require rest and recovery, whether offline or online.

But when resting, the player's body is not protected by the system and will be harmed.

When the server was first launched, some experienced players went offline directly in the city, but the next day they were stolen by NPCs and thrown outside the city; there were also players who went offline in the wild and were trampled to death by monsters or unknown people. Someone had his neck wiped, or was sold to work as a miner.

Countless players have used their lives and property to experiment and come to a conclusion - they must find a safe place to log off!

Players in the city usually choose hotels. If they go out in the wild, they can set up a tent. Those with money will buy a room by themselves.

Xiao Zhi dared to go offline in Heisen before because no monsters or players would pass by under that tree, and Asen would always guard him, but that can't be done now.

"As expected, we still have to consider money." Xiao Zhi sighed.

He stretched out his hand and drew a circle in the air with his fingertips. The next moment, a heavy book appeared in Xiao Zhi's hand.

The address book, also known as the Athanasian Happy Book, is a communication system between players and is embodied in the form of a book. Functions such as world channels, private chats, and forums are all on it.

Other races on the mainland cannot see the contents of the address book, so there are rumors that this is the source of power for the Athanasi people.

The players laughed and said nothing about this, after all, the system did not allow them to tell the truth.

Opening the address book, Xiao Zhi simply looked at the changes over the years with the help of forum posts.

Now, mankind has entered the interstellar age. Humanity's sphere of influence extends across the three major galaxies: the Milky Way, the Aquamarine System, and the Cang Galaxy. However, no new intelligent race has yet been discovered, and aliens are still an eternal topic of discussion.

Human lifespan has been greatly improved due to the emergence of immortality technology, and is no longer limited to just a few hundred years. Life has become longer, and humans have more pursuits in life.

At the same time, he also discovered that six hundred years had actually passed since his time.

This made Xiao Zhi puzzled. Since he traveled through time six hundred years ago, why had Hessen's wanted order been posted for more than five hundred years?

Logically speaking, there should not have been a talent like myself in this world more than five hundred years ago, right?

He also specifically searched for information related to the Hessian lord.

It turns out that this boss is very mysterious. There is no clear information except that his name is Frost. His age is unknown, his appearance is ominous, his race is suspected to be undead, and his past experiences are ominous.

He rarely leaves Hesse. Over the years, players have not even taken a clear screenshot of him.

It was either a dark figure in the distance, a white bone dragon crossing the sky, or a windy and solid white bone carriage. It was not even clear whether it was round or flat.

"Frost?" Xiao Zhi whispered the name. He searched his memory and found no information about this name.

Could my wanted order be related to this person?

Unable to think of an answer, Xiao Zhi could only put aside this doubt for the time being and continue to read other news.

ZERO has been in operation for more than 600 years, which can be called a miracle in human history. No matter it is a game of the same era or a game that appeared later, no other game can have such vitality.

And, as time goes by, the world of ZERO is getting bigger and bigger, and the content is getting richer and richer.

Players often feel that they are not just playing a game, but actually living in a real world. Therefore, many people directly make a living in the game, or come here to take care of themselves when they are old, treating this place as a second world.

The current maximum level has reached 240, and the level of most players is in the range of 150,200.

Compared with the era of keyboard online games, ZERO's level cap is not opened very quickly, and there is no regular pattern. It generally follows the development progress of players and the development of the mainland.

After thinking about his poor level 50, Xiao Zhi ranked the importance of upgrading first in his heart. If he wanted to avoid being frustrated, he still had to become stronger.

Suddenly, a hot post on the forum was pushed to the homepage:

[Title: In order to save the big pants that were on the verge of collapse, I had evil thoughts towards the boss]

The title is quite difficult to describe, yet very tempting.

Xiao Zhidian went in and saw that the poster's ID was called "Legendary Watermelon".

He cried and told the miserable story of how he was first beaten by an unknown boss because he was greedy for Heisen's gratitude money, and then he was brutally beaten by the Heisen lord. Finally, he lost his pants and was beaten again.

There are several screenshots attached to the post. It is a battle between Xiao Zhi and several players. However, the shooting method is a bit too casual and makes people dizzy. Because of the cloak, Xiao Zhi's face was not captured.

It also comes with a short video. The video is still very rubbish, but it shows Xiao Zhi's neat fighting posture and his 22 consecutive fireballs.

1L. Big golden pants:

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

2L. I was just passing by:

Damn it! 22 consecutive shots! This skill is definitely a master!

3L. Don't eat coriander:

The skill power is so low, it seems that the level is not high. Do you know any well-known master who deleted his account and came back?

11L. Guatian Yiba:

Delete your account? ! ! I smell the melon!

112L. Don't lie to me:

Looking at this level of operation, is it Ruoye?

113L. Sui Feng replied to 112L:

Don't spread rumors upstairs, I just saw Ruoye and his teammates going through dungeons.

115L. I really don't like it:

And if Ruoye is a Feng method, he likes to play with fire at first glance.

289L. My head feels a little cold:

could it be Vulcan? This big guy hasn't been out for a long time.

299L. Vulcan:

Thank you for your concern, but I am already a farming player now, so don't think about it.

300L. A small piece of food replied 299L:

Damn it, the boss! group photo!

301L. It's hard to name. Reply 299L:

Group photo +1.

302L. I'm no longer a human being. Reply 299L:

Group photo +2

...

1032L. Smart young man:

Do you think it's possible that it's Longinus? Want to become a mage again and defeat Ruoye?

1033L. Melon Field Yiba:

Well...saying this...the melon in my hand suddenly tastes even sweeter.

1034L. Longinus:

Bah! I don't want to be a mage, I want to be a swordsman and fight to the death with Ruoye in an upright manner! ! @如叶, come and fight! Come and fight! Come and fight! Come and fight! Come and fight!

1035L. Ruoye replied 1034L:

Haha.

Among the various speculations of the players, Xiao Zhi noticed an inconspicuous reply.

1152L. Anonymous player:

The boss will hit you lightly. Do you know how you will be treated after being captured?

I once asked my brother to pinch my face and send me there out of curiosity. However, after the Hesse people found out that I was not that person, they asked me to explain who sent me here.

However, I am just curious! No one really ordered me!

But they didn't believe it, so they threw me into the dungeon. The experience there was like a 21-year-old experience. The system was blocked for me, and I finally got the chance to die. Since then, whenever I see Hessen, I always walk around.

Xiao Zhi: "..."

On the road of seeking death, players are always full of motivation.

Fortunately, he ran fast, and Xiao Zhi didn't want to experience the dark room in person.

It seems that it is better not to sell the rare Hessian materials in his bag. If something is accidentally exposed, it will be miserable if someone takes notice. In the future, I'd better look for opportunities to use some anonymous means to buy props I've collected in the past.

After flipping through some more information posts, Xiao Zhi decided to go to Chiba Country next. The country there has been very peaceful recently and the residents are not xenophobic. It is suitable for low-level players to do mission upgrades.

Clicking on the map and looking at it, Xiao Zhi walked towards the direction of Qianye Country.

·

While walking, Xiao Zhi's thoughts couldn't help but drift to Asen.

Their first meeting was when ZERO just started operating.

The birth points of the players were all random, but Xiao Zhi was not very lucky. He was thrown directly into the Heisen, and faced the lowest level skeleton rushing towards him.

After a life-and-death battle between a novice mage who had no power to tie a chicken and a low-level skeleton who might only have the power to tie a chicken, Xiao Zhi successfully got rid of the skeleton by virtue of his leg length advantage.

But at the same time, he ran a long way in the dark forest and couldn't find his direction.

I don't know how long I walked before a flash of white appeared in front of me. In the dark forest, a white tree was very conspicuous, and Xiao Zhi subconsciously walked in that direction.

At the same time as the white tree, there was a sleeping person.

He was lying on the bones of an unknown creature. His silver hair was spread out, and he was naked. His body was slender and well-proportioned like a work of art. His eyes were closed and he looked quiet and peaceful. The composition was like a famous painting handed down from generation to generation.

Xiao Zhi was shocked at that time: "Brother, are you so big-hearted that you come here to walk with birds and still fall asleep?"

Alarmed by the sound, the sleeping man opened his eyes.

It was a pair of platinum-like light-colored eyes, glowing with a metallic luster. Such eyes should be cold, but there is only confusion and confusion in them.

Xiao Zhi tried to say hello to him: "Hello, my name is 7654321."

The man just looked at him and blinked in confusion.

After a moment, he spoke with difficulty: "7..."

Xiao Zhi discovered that this person did not seem to be a player.

However, ZERO claims to be the most intelligent holographic game. Are the NPCs in it at this level?

I wonder if it's too late to refund the money now?

Although the thought of refunding the money flashed through his mind, because this young man was really good-looking, humans are always more tolerant of beauties, and Xiao Zhi was not immune to this.

On a whim, he simply sat down to teach the person how to speak, and even gave the person the coat of his new mage robe to cover his buttocks.

It was only after I taught him that I discovered that this young man's learning ability was terrible, and he had mastered basic conversational skills in a short period of time.

This made Xiao Zhi, who was a teacher for the first time, very proud. As a reward, Xiao Zhi pulled out the grass on the ground and made him a small snake as a gift.

The little brother reached out and took it. There was no expression on his face, but he held it carefully with both hands, as if he liked it very much.

Because they met in Heisen, Xiao Zhi even named him Asen without permission, which sounded a bit casual, but the little brother didn't object.

Ah Sen said that he wanted to call Xiao Zhi "Xiao Qi". Xiao Zhi thought about it and thought it would be easier to call him "7654321", so he readily agreed.

Later, Xiao Zhi gradually came into contact with other NPCs and found that other NPCs were indeed very intelligent and not as blank as Asen.

Although I don't understand why, it does not affect the friendship between the two.

Thinking that Ah Sen must be lonely alone in the forest, Xiao Zhi often ran to Heisen to look for him whenever he had time.

Bring him gifts, tell him about other places on the continent, and occasionally tell him your own magically modified version of fairy tales.

For example:

"Asen, today I will tell you the story of Snow White. Snow White is known as the Snow Swordsman because her sword always carries snowflakes..."

"Little Red Riding Hood is a well-known assassin. Legend has it that her bright red sword The cloak is stained with blood..."

"There is also a disguise master on the mainland. She is called Cinderella. She once sneaked into a ball to get close to the prince. After removing her makeup, she was not discovered at all..."

Asen listened seriously. , without the slightest doubt that the person in front of him was simply bullshitting.

Thoughts withdrawn.

Six hundred years have passed, and I wonder how Asen is doing now? NPCs of different races have different life spans. Asen should be of the undead type. I hope he is still well.

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, why on earth are you wanted..."
