The Elven Survival Handbook.

In 2333 AD, holographic network technology has matured, and various holographic games have mushroomed. Among them, Lu Wei plays "Different World" - DW for short, which is among the top three magic holographic online games.

"DW" is famous in the holographic online game industry for its beautiful characters, exciting plot, and diverse occupations. Since its launch more than two years ago, it has been the most popular holographic game among similar games among players.

However, Lu Wei's identity is different from that of ordinary players. He is an NPC.

To be precise, it is a real NPC.

Lu Wei, whose parents died young, is a patient with congenital genetic defects. His physical functions began to decline from a very young age. This condition became more and more serious as he grew up. When Lu Wei reached 20 years old, his visual nerves began to decline. It has completely atrophied, unable to see, and the hearing has also diminished to the point where I can no longer hear sounds without a hearing aid.

At this time, he was too weak to walk and could only rely on a wheelchair to travel. His body's organs also began to have problems. He didn't know when he would never wake up again.

Lu Wei like this has already been notified by the hospital that he is critically ill. All they can do is make him live more comfortably in the last time.

In the 24th century, there are very few patients like him who have genetic defects but cannot be cured due to body rejection. In his case, the state can take full responsibility for his support. Not only are all public facilities free, but medical expenses are also comprehensive, and he can also receive With a large amount of subsidies, there is absolutely no trouble in life.

This is the care the country gives to people like them. Even if it cannot save them, it still needs to make sure they have enough food and clothing.

But Lu Wei didn't want to waste the little time he had left. His life was destined to be short, so how could it end like this without experiencing anything.

From the moment he can remember, all his learning has been done online, and the farthest place he has ever been was the park with the best environment in the suburbs that his parents took him to when he was a child.

He wants to see more scenery and know the beauty of the world.

After several nurses who took turns taking care of him knew what Lu Wei was thinking, they thought about the little time this young man had left, and they couldn't say anything to dissuade him.

One of the nurses had an idea and said, "Would you like to take a look in the game? Your eyes cannot see the beauty of reality, but you can see the majesty of the holographic world. That is the right place for you."

"My cousin happens to work at a game company owned by Jinjiang. They are going to launch a magical holographic online game called "Different World" this year. I have seen some promotional videos. The scenes in it are very beautiful, and the characters are even more beautiful. "

Jinjiang’s full name is Jinjiang Literature City. It initially started with online literature, and later gradually began to involve online shopping malls, publishing and printing, film and television media and other fields. Later, it began to enter games. From the beginning, it cooperated with other game companies to launch web games, and then Now developing holographic online games on its own, Jinjiang is now prosperous.

"Holographic game?" Lu Wei's eyes lit up after hearing this, but soon his expression became cold again: "But I can't enter the game, right?"

Lu Wei's physical condition is not suitable for playing holographic games at all, and no game dares to accept players like him.

For ordinary people, the sparse and ordinary attack damage may be too real, causing Lu Wei's emotional fluctuations to become dizzy, or even more serious. If something happens, who will be responsible?

"You can't become a player, but Xiaowei, you can be an NPC."

The nurse has also thought about it carefully. Although there are relatively few real-life NPCs nowadays, it is not impossible, so if you ask for help, there is still a high chance of success.

As long as Lu Wei can fulfill his wish, he will naturally readily agree to everyone's suggestions.

So the nurse went to contact her cousin.

Her cousin happens to be one of the planners of "Different World" that is about to start operations this time.

After receiving the communication from the nurse, the other party reported the matter, and soon Jinjiang also gave a reply.

Although Jinjiang did not plan to use real-life NPCs in "Different World", they agreed to Lu Wei's request after discussion.

They even sent Lu Wei a temporary contract to hire him. Although the salary was not high, the other conditions were very relaxed. He did not have to go to the company to work, as long as he was online for two hours a day if his health allowed, and the NPC he was not allowed to play. Just break away from the set character.

It can be described as full of sincerity.

This is not surprising to anyone. The current law has long stipulated that as long as people with genetic defects are qualified for the job, employers must give priority to hiring them, so everyone knew from the beginning that this matter would be easy to succeed.

Moreover, the law also stipulates that hiring these special employees can reduce taxes, and the tax amount is not small. It is just one more person, and it will not affect the normal operation of the company, but it can save a lot of taxes. No company will be stupid not to do so. agree.

So Lu Wei quickly became a member of Jinjiang, and before the game was launched, he went online to get familiar with the NPCs he needed to play.

The NPC character played by Lu Wei is Luvita Lagerfeld Sylvester, an elf archmage in "DW".

This Elf Archmage is one of the players' skill instructors, responsible for teaching wood magic to players who have chosen the legal profession. He is one of the top NPCs in "DW".

Not only that, this Elf Archmage, whose name is somewhat similar to Lu Wei, is also an elder among the Elf tribe. He is the highest-status Elf besides the Elf Queen, and he is also known as the Elf Wise Man.

At the same time, Luvita's appearance has been carefully designed by the artists. The handsome elf with blond hair and blue eyes is definitely one of the top three beauties in this game that is famous for its character beauty.

The Great Mage, who is beautiful and has outstanding strength, will definitely be favored by many players. For example, when Lu Wei saw this character, he couldn't help but get excited about his appearance. If he hadn't restrained himself in time, I'm afraid I'll need emergency treatment again.

Lu Wei decided to play this NPC almost immediately.

The character of the Great Elf Magister is gentle with a touch of coldness, while Lu Wei cannot be too emotional due to physical reasons, but his character is similar to that of the NPC, so it is not difficult to play the role.

The difficulty is to grasp the elegance and nobility of the Elf Grand Magister. This is the most difficult part for Lu Wei, who can't even walk now.

Fortunately, Jinjiang equipped him with an assistant - the Book of Wisdom.

The Book of Wisdom was originally a book belonging to the Great Elf Magister. It contained the knowledge of all things in the world. Now the company has loaded a highly intelligent system on it. Lu Wei can ask it if he doesn't understand anything.

With the help of the Book of Wisdom, Lu Wei finally looked a bit noble and elegant like the elves, and the game also ushered in the launch of the server.

From that day on, Lu Wei in the game officially became Lu Weita.

In fact, nothing happened to Luvita after the server was launched.

He is one of the highest-level NPCs, and players who are still in the novice village and can't get out of it have no access to him.

Wait until later

After players leave the novice village, they can go to the temple to learn magic from skill instructors. However, the skill instructors in the temple have to stay there 24 hours a day, while the high-level NPCs in "DW" are all It is impossible to achieve this with uniqueness and certain abilities, so the skill instructors in the temple are actually clones of various NPCs.

However, Luvita feels that since he accepted this job, he occasionally needs to fulfill his obligations, so sometimes he will go to the temple to "substitute". At this time, players who come to the temple will suddenly find their elves The Archmage suddenly becomes more humane, more elegant and charming.

Because the affairs of real-life NPCs are kept confidential, many people think that this is a trick designed by the game planners. They are proud to meet the "Elven Grand Magister under special circumstances". Some people even go to the temple every day. Just to try my luck.

Unconsciously, Luvita became one of the most popular NPCs.

But most of the time, Luvita is still looking at the scenery in various game maps. He is an NPC and has special protection from the official, so he can go anywhere.

His wish can be realized in this way, even if it is not true, Luvita has been satisfied.

Everyone was happy that his cheerful mood had slowed down his worsening symptoms.

Everything is perfect here.

Until Luvita stepped into the deserted land.

******

The Desolate Land is an advanced map that players can only open after level 80.

Upgrading "DW" is recognized as difficult. Three months after the server was launched, the current highest-level player has just broken through the 30 mark. According to official statistics, it becomes more difficult to upgrade as you go forward. You have to reach the level to open the map. , I didn’t know that I would have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

But for Luvita, who is at full level, there is still no threat here, even if the deserted land is the territory of the demon clan that is hostile to the elves.

——Furthermore, because the current player level is too low, this kind of advanced map is actually not open yet. In order to reduce the load on the game server, the monsters and NPCs on these advanced maps are in the "unactivated" state, just like each one. Like a living but immovable statue.

The Desolate Land was originally a desolate but vibrant wilderness. However, since the entrance to the Demon Realm suddenly appeared in the wilderness, the demonic energy overflowing from the Demon Realm polluted the land, and all living creatures were eroded. The name of Desolation From this.

Thick clouds cover all the sunlight, and there are tumbling brontosauruses among the dark clouds. The charred land is lifeless, and only scavengers are willing to stay here.

A land with too much demonic energy will make creatures that do not belong to the dark system feel uncomfortable, especially for the elves who are the darlings of nature.

Almost the moment he walked out of the teleportation array, Luvita's body was in a state of continuous blood loss called "erosion", although the speed of the blood loss was not as fast for Luvita as he could recover. .

Such a place is definitely hated by the elves who represent nature and life.

Luvita shouldn't actually be here.

But he still came.

Luvita visited all the maps with beautiful scenery in three months. Those beautiful scenery left him unsatisfied, and then he felt that he should visit those places that may not be beautiful, but are very special.

So he thought of going to the Demon World, the base camp of the villains in the main plot of "DW".

To go to the demon world, you must first cross the deserted land.

The charred land aroused the curiosity of Luvita, who is currently an elf.

He found a grass seed from the elf's seed treasure chest, which had the most vitality and was said to be able to grow on any soil, and threw it to the ground.

[All things grow]

Players who play magic professions need to recite magic spells verbatim before they can cast spells. After their proficiency increases, they can reduce the number of spells one by one, and finally reach the point where they can cast spells by just reciting the magic name.

What makes players even more frustrated is that the planners believe that magic belongs to Western fantasy. Since it is Western fantasy, the spells should naturally use Western characters.

So magic spells written in English letters have become every magician's nightmare.

Many players protested against this, saying that English is no longer a compulsory course, but they still have to learn it to play games, and strongly urged them to change this.

However, there is news from within Jinjiang that the original planning team planned to use the older Latin, but the senior officials considered that Latin is a dead language (no one no longer speaks it as a native language) and is difficult to learn. It was too high, so the planners had to reluctantly give up this crazy proposal.

But they felt that since everyone didn’t like English, why not switch to Latin?

So there were no more complaints from the players, and everyone just recited the spells obediently. My mother would no longer be afraid that their English was not good in the future.

Fortunately, because Luvita is one-eighth of foreign descent, she has been able to speak English since she was a child, so she has no problem reciting magic spells.

And as a great mage, Luvita can use magic other than forbidden spells by just saying the name of the magic to activate it smoothly. Magic below the advanced level can be cast instantly, which is something ordinary players simply cannot do. They can't even become a Grand Magister, who is already the highest magic level for players.

Luvita is currently using an intermediate wood magic - "All Things Grow". After all, he is not a real NPC and is not very familiar with magic. In order to ensure success, he recited the name of the magic.

As the name suggests, this magic is a magic that makes plants grow quickly. The effect depends on the magic value output by the caster.

With Luvita's magic power reserves, he can easily create a one-hectare grassland on land that is not contaminated by magic energy. If he uses all his magic power, he can also create a forest.

But here, Luvita watched as he consumed one-tenth of his magic power to bring forth the grass.

The grass with slender leaves is tender green, a small tree, a little playful and cute.

But the grass did not exist for long before it was contaminated by the evil energy in the soil and quickly withered.

This was more serious than he thought.

But the purification technique that can purify demonic energy and other pollution should have some effect here, right?But it shouldn’t last long. As long as the source of pollution is still there, it will be contaminated again sooner or later.

Luvita, who was thinking about this problem, didn't do any hands-on experiments. This is a game, let's wait for players to develop it.

Luvita continued her journey.

The author has something to say: When I was writing Luvita, I couldn't help but think of "Howl's Moving Castle", so I decided to review it again. Howl is so handsome, and Kimura Takuya's voice is even better!

Originally, I would update a chapter every day, but Chapter 1 is too short, so there will be a second update today.

This is a time-travel article, and the plot before the time-travel is only about two or three chapters.
