Chapter 1 Game Modification

The game adjustments and modifications were being made on a large scale, with the official website announcing the progress every day. On the first day, the cute little monsters in the training area were already corrected. The disgusting wild boars and wolves were completely replaced by cats, rabbits, and dogs.

The second day...

The third day...

Players were eagerly watching. Although the last public beta was only half a day, everyone experienced the unprecedented feeling brought by the holographic game. This time the anticipation was even more intense than before. Gu Fei was no exception. The first thing he did when he got home every day was to go online and follow the game's modification progress. Finally, he could have a place to release his kung fu. Gu Fei had been waking up with a smile in his dreams lately.

Because there was too much to adjust, it took a whole month. Xiao Wu's proposal had been approved, but the workload to perfect everything was even greater, so the game company decided to gradually add these in future updates, and the game would start re-operating first.

On this day, Gu Fei unfortunately had a class. After class, he immediately returned home and entered the game with anticipation. He hadn't felt this kind of eagerness in a long time.

He was on a mountain in the wilderness outside the city when he logged off last time, but now he was sent back to his birthplace: the Mage Academy. Did he have to start all over again? Gu Fei looked at his level. It hadn't changed, it was still level 6. The coins he picked up that day were still in his purse, and the two rusty meat cleavers were still stuck in his waist.

Looking around, he found that the mages were gathered in front of an NPC again, forming a long queue. Gu Fei confirmed that the guy wasn't selling glasses and brooms, and curiously queued up too.

"What are you doing?" Gu Fei asked.

"Learning skills!" The person in front of him turned around and glanced at Gu Fei.

It turned out that in order to allow players to have the ability to protect themselves as soon as possible, this modification specifically lowered the level requirements for learning skills. You can get the first skill for free as soon as you are born, and then you can learn the next skill of your profession every six levels. So now the newly born players in the Mage Academy have one more thing to do besides buying glasses and brooms.

The queue moved quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Gu Fei was in front of the NPC. He talked to the NPC, and Gu Fei had already learned the first skill of the mage. There was nothing new, Fireball, which seemed to be the first technique that a mage could master forever. But at this time, Gu Fei was already level 6. In addition to the initial Fireball, he could also learn a second skill: Resistance Ring of Fire. If Fireball was the primary attack skill of a beginner mage, then this Resistance Ring of Fire was the main skill for the little mages in the early stages to protect their weak bodies.

However, as a holographic game, the use of magic has some characteristics.

In the center of the spacious square of the Mage Academy, thousands of people gathered together and shouted in unison: "Fireball!!"

A fireball immediately ignited in front of everyone, floating in the air, which was very spectacular. The mages all looked happy, but Gu Fei noticed that the person beside him was pale, as if he was quite frightened.

"Shoot!" I don't know who took the lead to shout, and everyone immediately followed, and the sound of "shoot shoot shoot" rose and fell throughout the audience. However, the Mage Academy is an absolute safe zone, and it is forbidden to use combat skills such as spells here. Although the command to "shoot" was issued, the fireball did not move. However, the guy next to him turned even paler, and Gu Fei couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you?"

"Damn it!" the man cursed first, and then added Gu Fei as a friend: "Look at my name."

System prompt: Fireball has added you as a friend.

Gu Fei immediately laughed. It turned out that this person's name was Fireball, which was no wonder. The shouts of thousands of people would make him feel frightened.

At this time, people were constantly learning the first spell, so people were constantly shouting Fireball in the center of the square. Fireball next to Gu Fei couldn't bear it anymore, greeted Gu Fei and prepared to leave.

"Hehe, I'm leaving too, it's too noisy." Gu Fei followed him.

The two left the Mage Academy together and headed for the leveling area outside Yun Duan City. On the way, Fireball complained to Gu Fei. It turned out that when he got this account from someone else, the name and profession had already been selected. Gu Fei immediately had a feeling of sympathy, but Fireball didn't care about these things at all. Only after experiencing the scene of thousands of people shouting just now did he have some complaints about this name. Just think about it, in the future battles with mages, whether they are enemies or friends, shouting "Fireball" would obviously distract his attention! At present, he can only expect that the lowest-level spell "Fireball" will be forgotten by people in the later stages.

Gu Fei also inevitably had to communicate his feelings with Fireball, and he somewhat revealed his tragic experience of being forced to use a mage. Fireball didn't understand Gu Fei's inner reasons, he just thought that he didn't like the mage profession very much, so he eloquently introduced him to the glorious history of mages.

In any case, Gu Fei had a good impression of Fireball. Because he was one of the few mages who didn't wear black-rimmed glasses and carry a broom.

The two walked and talked, and in the blink of an eye, they had reached outside the city.

The initial modifications to the game had begun to take effect. At this time, the outside of the city was full of wild wolves and wild boars. Moreover, learning from the lessons of the past, this batch of monsters was made to look disgusting. They were the type that you would want to beat at first glance, which greatly encouraged the players' enthusiasm for leveling. Outside the city, the mountains and plains were full of people, chasing wild wolves and wild boars to chop and kill. It was a pity that the strength of this batch of wild wolves and wild boars was completely disproportionate to their image. Under the crazy suppression of the players, they could only offer a meager resistance. For a time, the monsters were in short supply. As soon as one was refreshed, a dozen players immediately surrounded it.

Fireball was so excited that he took two steps forward and shouted, "Fireball!"

A fireball slowly rose in front of Fireball.

"Shoot!" Fireball shouted.

So the fireball shot out.

With a "poof" sound, the fireball hit a wild boar that was being ravaged by the players directly in front. Sparks flew everywhere, with the smell of barbecue, and the wild boar was struck down.

"Beautiful!" Fireball clenched his fist and cheered for his first shot being so accurate. But at this time, the players who were still besieging the wild boar just now had all turned to look at Fireball. That look was clearly looking at a creature that was even more disgusting than a wild boar.

"Hello everyone!" Fireball waved to everyone.

"Robbing monsters! No manners!" What greeted Fireball's greeting was the other party's scolding.

"Ah? This, aren't you all just hitting it randomly?" Fireball was at a loss. It was clearly a dozen people hacking at it, so how could his shot be robbing a monster? Isn't it whoever kills it gets it?

"Are you blind? Can't you see that we are from the same guild?" one person shouted.

"Guild?" Fireball glanced at Gu Fei blankly, and Gu Fei was also at a loss. The game had just started, how could anyone have the ability to establish a guild!

A group of people nodded together, and one person shouted: "You don't want to mess around, do you, robbing monsters from our Against the Heavens Guild?"

There must be no guild name more Against the Heavens than this guild, but facing a group of imposing Against the Heavens people, Fireball didn't show any fear. This surprised Gu Fei. He saw Fireball looking directly at the crowd and calmly said: "So what if I rob a monster? What can you do to me? I'm only level 1!"

Gu Fei laughed. No wonder this guy was so righteous! Because he paid attention to the official website every day, Gu Fei also knew about this modification. It was specifically aimed at the violent incident that he had experienced last time. Players protected by PK protection would be invalid targets for skills. Even if they were hit, there would be no corresponding pain. And this modification also included players' own means of attack in the scope of PK. This meant that if another fight like the one last time happened, Gu Fei would not be able to blind the other party's eyes, and even if he hit them, it would not hurt. At this time, Fireball was relying on being protected, and turned a blind eye to the many powerful players in front of him.

But players who dare to name themselves Against the Heavens still have the spirit of Against the Heavens after all. Seeing Fireball relying on his level 1 and looking like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, they didn't feel discouraged at all and rushed forward.

"What are you doing? I'm level 1! Level 1! Level 1!!!!" In Fireball's repeated emphasis and shouting, his limbs were grabbed by people, raised into the air, and one person shouted: "Hang him on that tree over there." He was immediately rejected: "Just throw him in the river over there!"

Whether being dropped into the river would be protected by PK protection, the official website did not say. Fireball was now in a hurry, struggling desperately. But let alone he was a mage now, even if he was a warrior, he would not have a chance in this situation. Fireball was like a sacrifice prepared to be offered to the gods in an ancient tribe, held high to the sky. Looking down, he saw Gu Fei and immediately shouted: "Hey, you, save me!"

Gu Fei nodded, quickly rushed forward, went around to the front of the crowd, and stopped them, saying: "Everyone, let's talk slowly, put him down first."

"Who are you! Get out of here!" Everyone glanced at Gu Fei and didn't take him seriously at all. The game had only been open for a day, and no matter how professional the player was, it was impossible to reach the level of taking on many enemies by himself, not to mention that this guy was just a mage.

"He's my friend, put me down quickly!" Fireball continued to shout.

"Friend? Then throw him in the river together!" One person waved his arm, and several people rushed towards Gu Fei.

Gu Fei was stunned. It was not only Fireball who was protected by PK protection, but also this group of people who were still robbing the lowest-level monsters outside the city gate could not possibly be over level 10. Fighting under PK protection would not cause pain. If this group of people got close to him, he would definitely be forcibly grabbed, and he would not be able to escape. Gu Fei quickly took the initiative to step forward, stomped on the ground and jumped up, sideways, reversed, and his left foot drew an arc in the air from right to left with his whole body.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!" With three consecutive sounds, the three guys rushing at the front were swept down by Gu Fei's kick in the air.

The three of them sat down on the ground side by side, looking at each other at a loss. Although they didn't feel any pain, they still had a sense of touch. It felt like they had been gently brushed on the face, but the force was so great that it was irresistible. This terrifying spiritual event caused by the system setting was more frightening than pain. The three guys were sitting there dumbfounded and dared not move.

The others could see more clearly than the three involved. Gu Fei's clean and neat kick in the air made everyone confused.

"What skill is this?" Everyone asked each other.

"Can you do this move?" Someone asked the mage in his team.

"No, there's no such move!"

"I don't have it either!" The players of various professions in the group checked their skill panels, and none of them found any skills like "Roundhouse Kick" or "Tornado Kick".

"What profession is this guy?" Everyone began to disbelieve the mage robe in front of them. In a holographic game, equipment is not restricted by profession. It is also very reasonable and logical to wear a mage robe to hide the truth.

"Hidden profession?" Someone began to speculate.

Everyone stared straight at Gu Fei. Fireball, who was being held in the sky, didn't see this kick. He only felt that it was very quiet around him, and the guys who were carrying him had become statues, steadily holding him in the air.

"What are you doing! Put me down!" Fireball shouted.

This shout made the distracted crowd shake, and they let go without thinking. Fireball fell freely and landed flat on the ground. He seized the time to curse "Damn!" in his mouth.

Gu Fei ignored the crowd, walked into the crowd in a few steps, pulled Fireball up and left.

A group of people looked at each other, but no one dared to stop him.
