Now This Is a Perfect Start!
The word "Legacy of Time".
Roger is actually not the first time I heard about it.
Very quickly.
He searched for relevant information from the depths of his memory——
He had seen this affix in the preview of the next version in the developer diary of this game!
In the preview.
This thing seems to be a copy of a small game.
There should be no problem with security.
Roger remembers it in the mechanism of Legacy of Time.
Players will have the opportunity to enter "history that has nothing to do with the current world."
However, the conditions for these histories to approach the 'present world' are very harsh.
Once missed.
The next time we encounter it, it may not be the same history.
And I don't know how long I have to wait.
Consider the time compensation mechanism of Legacy of Time.
If you don't go, you will lose blood.
before the countdown ends.
Roger took advantage of the protection of "Queen's Right Hand" to quickly divine once.
After confirming that the Feather of Time in your hand does not have any safety hazards.
He immediately entered 'Historical World'! ...
"Hint: You have entered 'Legacy of Time: Legend of Farview Town'..."
"In order to avoid attracting the attention of the gods of the corresponding world, your power will be sealed 6 times. Since your basic lifespan is 30 years, the unsealing rules are now set as follows:...
1. Automatically unlock: Every 5 years, you will automatically unlock 1 layer of seal; after 30 years, you will reach the peak state in Historical World.
Within 3 minutes of all seals being released, you will be expelled by the gods of the corresponding world.
2. Actively unlock: You can use 'clues' to find 'opportunities' to unlock the seal, thereby completing the recovery of your own combat power without increasing 'Anomaly Value';
But please bear in mind.
No matter how you unlock the seal, please do not display Martial Force that does not belong to the corresponding world in public, otherwise your 'Anomaly Value' will increase dramatically.
An excessively high 'Anomaly Value' often means special attention from the gods.
And the gaze of the gods means that you are very likely to end this historical journey early."
"The seal is completed! You have obtained the first character card in Legacy of Time"
In the dark vision.
Lines of light yellow fonts floated by.
That moment.
Roger seems to be in the starry sky of the universe.
Under his feet and above his head are endless stars.
A brand new character card slowly unfolded before his eyes.
First is the basic column.
"Name: Roger"
"Gender: Male"
"Age: 18 years old"
"Status: Healthy"
"I never thought I would have the chance to be 18 again..."
Roger chuckled.
Immediately his eyes moved down to the attribute bar.
"Appearance: ★★☆☆☆" (Your appearance is above average, and girls in the town will occasionally mention your name when talking about their lover's family)
"Health: ★★☆☆☆" (Your physique is relatively healthy and strong. Considering your age, you can withstand heavy physical labor for a certain period of time, but over time it will also leave hidden diseases and eventually lead to injuries)...
"Energy: ★★☆☆☆" (You have relatively high energy and can spare a small amount of time for reading and studying after a long and complicated day's work; you should feel lucky, as most people have no extra energy to improve themselves after work)
"Inspiration: ★☆☆☆☆" (You lack artistic talent and psychic qualifications. Let alone life, even your dreams are dull and vulgar and not worth mentioning. You lack the potential to become a painter, writer, singer, performer, etc. As for being a psychic, don't even think about it!)...
"Wealth: ★☆☆☆☆" (Your wealth level is at the bottom of any society)...
"Combat: ★☆☆☆☆" (Standard adult male combat strength: you can defeat poultry and livestock with your bare hands, but you cannot defeat wild beasts)
"One star for combat ability?"
"They are just ordinary people..."
See here.
Roger frowned slightly.
Fortunately, he can be sure——
Even if you die in "Legacy of Time", it will just end the "historical journey" early.
Taking into account the settings such as 'Anomaly Value' mentioned earlier.
Roger gradually realized that 'Legacy of Time' was probably not the kind of copy that could be cleared directly through Martial Force! This is really weakening for him.
But Roger doesn't really care.
Use your brain.
He has never been afraid of anyone! So he looked down patiently.
"Tip: The basic character card has been created, please select the 'Destiny Trait'"
"In the initial state, you will receive 6 random fate traits, and you can choose 3 from them as supplements to the character card..."
"Sifting for destiny traits! Please wait..."
"It's time to show off again."
Roger is a little bit looking forward to it.
But he wasn't too nervous - after all, he had "Dice of Destiny" given by Brother Xuewu, giving him an extra chance to refresh his destiny traits.
It really doesn't work.
Just roll it again.
between thoughts.
The initial six characteristics emerged one by one in front of Roger.
He read it carefully.
"Silver River (Epic): When you were a child, you once dreamed of a long river flowing with silver, lead, and mercury.
There are birds carrying branches on the river.
There is someone vaguely calling your name at the bottom of the river.
You were so scared at the time.
He ran away without looking back.
This dream was once a shadow of your childhood, but as you grew up, you gradually forgot about it.
But lately, I don't know why——
This dream actually appears in your midnight many times.
You feel a little anxious. In order to relieve this feeling, you can make the following choices and get different clues——
Choice 1: Seek confession from a priest.
Choice 2: Find out where the strip club is."
"Effect: Your initial inspiration +2/initial clue +1"
"Remarks: Clues point to abnormal encounters in ordinary and boring daily life. Not every clue can point to extraordinary things. Some clues may end in danger, and some clues will eventually become ordinary. It all depends on your choice."
Epic qualities!
Roger's eyelids twitched.
Never expected it.
My luck is so good!
Note according to the details next to it.
Roger knows that destiny traits are divided into four levels. "Ordinary, Excellent, Epic, and Mythical".
He felt that he had no connection with mythology.
Being able to ROLL an epic game is already very satisfying.
"Silver River" has this characteristic that is quite high quality.
With Roger's many years of gaming experience.
Since the mechanism of 'Anomaly Value' is set.
So this dungeon is probably of the type that leans towards 'do less and make fewer mistakes to survive'.
This trait has no negative effects.
It can already be called a small masterpiece.
"As long as the follow-up doesn't suck too bad, I won't be random again..."
Roger thought so.
Subsequent features also gradually surfaced.
"Family decline (excellent): You were once a rich second generation.
Your father committed suicide due to bankruptcy and left behind a lot of notoriety.
But he secretly left you a fortune.
That's enough inheritance to keep you squandering for a while.
But it won't last long."
"Effect: Your initial wealth +1"
"Inferior person (ordinary): Your conversation is vulgar, your temperament is reckless, and you exude the aura of a lower-class person all the time."
"Effect: Concealment +1 in public places/difficult to enter high-end places"
"A noble lady's pet (excellent): You have a delicate face and a strong body. You are the favorite of noble ladies.
And in your daily life, you are also considerate and good at serving women."
"Effect: After completing the first stage of the task, the probability of obtaining fixed income is +40%;
The probability of being asked to duel by a noble man is +5%;
Your reputation -1"
"A solitary person (ordinary): You cannot blend in with the crowd and can only survive on the fringes of society.
You have no friends, no wife, no one to associate with.
You can't get a stable source of income"
"Effect: Your initial energy +1;
Your probability of dying from illness +70%;
Your chance of starving to death +40%"
"Depression (common): You have been depressed since childhood.
You think no one in this world can understand your pain.
Your survival until now depends on the mercy of others, but now you only think that they are disgusting.
You really want to die, but you just lack the courage to do it yet."
"Effect: Suicide probability +100%/Clues +1"
"Well..."
Read the 5 traits that will be refreshed in one go.
Roger's expression became uncertain.
Honestly.
The five traits that will be refreshed later are a bit stretched.
"Depression" and "Solitary Person" are purely negative effects.
"Inferior people" and "lady's pet" are terrible in their own way.
Except for the "family's financial situation", it's pretty good.
If Roger had to choose one of the remaining four——
"I choose soft rice but hard food..."
"Forget it!"
"I'd better choose to ROLL again! It won't be so bad next time, right?"
Think so.
Roger decisively chose to use up the extra refresh opportunity! ...
"Tip: You refreshed your 'destiny trait'"
"The new destiny traits are as follows, please make your choice——
1.Two-Faced Man (epic)
2. Cultists (Epic)
3.Castrated Man (ordinary) 4.Childhood Sweetheart (excellent)
5. Frustrated in Love (Ordinary) 6. Barber Apprentice (Excellent)
..."
"Wuhu!"
Double purple trait! Roger couldn't help but whistle.
"What other options are there?"
"No one would choose "Frustrated in Love" and "Castrated Man", right?"
"As for Childhood Sweetheart... well, it's okay to send a girl at the beginning, but unfortunately a woman will only affect the speed at which I accumulate Historical Knowledge..."
Almost instantly.
Roger completed the check with extremely fast eyesight!
After determining the characteristics.
More descriptions of the copy mechanism of 'Legacy of Time' began to appear on the data column.
There is no time limit for this link.
So Roger read it very carefully.
The first is the setting of 'death'.
In Historical World.
The young man in a small town played by Roger may die at the end of his life, die from illness due to lack of health, or die from an accident...
But the most important thing to be vigilant about is that 'Anomaly Value' was discovered by the gods of the corresponding world and then 'killed' or 'expelled'! Roger entered Historical World.
But the characters and gods in the corresponding world don't know this.
What he does must fit the image of a 'local of Historical World'.
Otherwise, 'Anomaly Value' will be pulled very high.
The final outcome is a hasty ending.
In one word.
Just want to be stubborn!
Roger feels that he is quite good at this aspect.
The second is the news about 'background'.
There is only a brief introduction to the data column in this area.
"Legacy of Time: Legend of Farview Town"
"Location: Far Gaze Town (a seaside town located at the foot of the volcano. It was once prosperous, but has declined a lot now, but it is still a transportation artery in the north. There are many legends of extraordinary things in the town, but the church prohibits talking about it. The town has a permanent population of more than 10,000 and several times the circulating population, but outsiders usually stop at the dock...)"
"God: Mon(???)"
"Power: A small amount of Psychic Art, cantrips, and Spell Slot casters; low-level firearms; a small amount of monsters."
"Map: Tile-Roofed District and Commercial District of Far Gaze Town (unlocking maps in other areas requires additional clues and opportunities, please explore on your own for specific methods.
Leaving the familiar area without permission may cause the character you play to encounter unexpected events)"
Not much information though.
But Roger read it with gusto.
Somehow.
He suddenly found a feeling he had when playing board games in his previous life.
"I don't know what it's like to enter it specifically?"
Just think of this.
Roger chose "Confirm" with great expectation.
"About to enter 'Far Gaze Town', the special mechanism is being checked..."
"It has been detected that you have 'Blessing: High-Dimensional Perspective'. You can use it on some special occasions."
"It is detected that you have 'Expertise: Lifespan Accumulation Thrice', you can choose 'Adjust the basic life span to 90' or 'Get 2 Feather of Time' (first entry reward)"
"Tip: You got 2 Feather of Time"
"Special mechanism inspection completed! About to enter 'Far Gaze Town'...
Please keep this in mind.
Everyone you meet has been in this world once.
But now.
They are just historical figures.
Exists only in history that 'does not belong to this world'! "
Lines of information flashed by.
After making a decision that requires almost no brain use.
A gray scene appeared in front of Roger.
The patter of rain can be heard in my ears.
Bright panoramic mirrors appeared before his eyes.
The corner of the mirror.
A series of information that only Roger could see flashed by.
"Record: In the 162nd year of the Third Era, you came to 'Far Gaze Town', and the destiny traits are being loaded..."
"Two-Faced Man (Epic): You don't just work for a covert organization.
Obviously, this is extremely risky, and once someone discovers you, you will be dead.
But you enjoy it and see it as the spice of life.
You get a lot of ill-gotten gains from this.
But it also offended some people."
"Effect: Your initial wealth +2/Clues +1/Initial enemies +1"
"Cultist (Epic): In life, you are humble and gentle, and you are a promising young man in the eyes of your neighbors and friends;
And in the dead of night, you will reveal your true colors: you secretly serve a cruel evil god called "Lighthouse".
This evil god is known to hate women.
So your job is to covertly promote the evils of women.
You exaggerate and exaggerate the shortcomings of a small number of women.
And hold the male group up high.
This job doesn't interest you.
But you can make money.
You feel you have a clear conscience."
"Effect: Your initial wealth +2/Clues +1"
"Barber Apprentice (Excellent): When you were young, you learned the trade from the most famous barber in the town. It has been eight years now.
In addition to haircuts and shaving, your surgical skills have also improved.
In order to win you over, your teacher decided to marry his three-time widowed daughter to you.
The lady, who was forty years old, was notorious in the town.
But there is quite a bit of money left.
You reluctantly want to be independent.
But this will offend your teacher..."
"Effect: Your initial energy +1/After completing the first stage of the task, you will get 100% stable income/Lead +1"
"The destiny traits are loaded, your Historical Knowledge (Far Gaze Town) +30"
"This is a Perfect Start!!"
I glanced at the character card.
Roger is full of ambition.
Five-star wealth!
Two-star energy!
Four clues!
Only 1 enemy! Isn't this a perfect start? Between thoughts.
The perspective in front of him gradually changed from illusion to reality.
As a Barber Apprentice.
The character played by Roger is currently in a very spacious barber shop.
It was midsummer afternoon.
He was the only one in the store.
Pedestrians hurriedly walked on the street outside.
The dullness before the approaching thunderstorm really makes people want to doze off.
Barber Apprentice paced back and forth in the store.
Occasionally he looks thoughtful.
By this time.
Only then did Roger realize that he could not completely control Barber Apprentice's body! All he can do is give some instructions.
For example.
"Pace (Stamina -3; Anxiety +5)".
"Contemplation (Energy -5; Inspiration +3)".
"Clue (Start your own business/marry a widow)"
By checking or confirming these options.
His body will perform some actions.
And in the process of the action.
Roger could only watch from the sidelines.
In fact.
The effects that a character can achieve are often difficult to satisfy Roger.
"What do you mean..."
"Can my role in this world only function as a camera?"
Here Roger is still adapting to this novel experience.
Suddenly, someone pushed open the door and entered outside the barber shop.
It was a man wearing a long black windbreaker, a sun hat and a mask.
"Haircut."
The man said briefly.
The words fell.
Time seemed to have stood still.
Roger Two options suddenly appeared in front of him.
What follows is a 60-second countdown.
"Option 1: Pick up guests. Guests are God, and every guest must be served enthusiastically!"
"Option 2: Refuse and choose your rhetoric—
'Sorry, the barber shop is closed today';...
'Hello, please wait a moment. My teacher has asked me to serve a distinguished guest like you personally. He will rest in the inner hall while I go ask him to come out.'"
"If I want to take the "self-reliant" route, it seems inappropriate to ask a teacher or refuse directly..."
"Hmm."
"When you are new here, you should behave in a manner consistent with your status, and you should just pick up guests..."
Because it's just the beginning.
Roger didn't think much about it.
Just click "Option 1".
in sight.
Barber Apprentice began to work conscientiously.
He seemed to be watching a first-person movie.
Except for the shaky viewing angle.
Somewhat boring.
But the next second.
Roger The vision in front of his eyes suddenly turned scarlet! on the character card.
His "health" instantly went from two stars to 0!
"Warning: You've been stabbed 13 times!"
"Record: You suffered an assassination and you were 'killed' by your enemy" (from: Two-Faced Man)
"You have ended this time journey."
"You have learned a motto: Never make too many enemies before you are young; the same is true after you are young."
"You have achieved a new milestone: 'This is a Perfect Start!!'"
"'This is a Perfect Start!': Indeed"
"Corresponding title: Failed Before Success (vigilance +1)"
"Ah this..."
"Is this okay?"
Roger was confused.
"It is detected that you still have 2 Feather of Time. Do you want to consume 1 Feather of Time and re-enter 'Legacy of Time'?"
