Yingzhou Instance Dungeon, Machine Spirit Awakening
Without even thinking, Yang Lu swiped directly to the option to buy the game.
The base game costs 1699, and requires a gaming headset or gaming pod to log in.
The gaming helmet comes in three versions: low-end, mid-range, and high-end, priced at 4999, 6699, and 9699 respectively.
The game pod also comes in three versions, priced at 12,999, 16,999, and 20,999 respectively.
"This price is a bit expensive!" Yang Lu exclaimed, but she also felt much more at ease.
It's selling for such a high price, it should be worth it!
Without hesitation, I placed an order for the high-spec gaming helmet.
Same-city express delivery, same-day delivery.
When he got home from the game expo, the package was already at his door!
"Whoa!" Yang Lu quickly grabbed the helmet, eagerly went into the room, and opened it!
"So beautiful!" The jet-black helmet was dotted with tiny specks of light, somewhat like glass, but clearly not, because it was very light.
"It should be a vent!" Yang Lu examined the inside of the helmet again, but it was just as dark as the outside, dotted with tiny specks.
"Damn, I should have filmed an unboxing video!" Yang Lu suddenly realized something was wrong. Why did I even open it?!
But since it's already been opened, you can't just put it back together and take it apart again, or you'll lose the sense of surprise.
"They haven't even said when the game will launch!" Yang Lu opened his phone and went to the official website. In fact, he had been browsing Taiheng's information the whole time and hadn't even logged out of the website.
"There really is no server opening time. Did they forget to write it down, or is it not there at all?" Yang Lu was a little confused, so she simply lay down on the bed, plugged in the helmet, and turned it on!
He felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and then countless points of light converged into a character selection interface.
"Male!"
"As for the face, let's just leave it random!" Yang Lu just wanted to experience the game as soon as possible. Besides, you can Character Creation more than once. It's said that you can customize it again when you reach the eighth level of the Body Refinement Realm.
"As for my ID, it'll be Deer." That's the name he uses in all his games, unless someone takes his place.
"Name violation?" Yang Lu was taken aback. She then clicked the question mark below the prompt and realized that names couldn't be chosen randomly; they had to conform to the naming rules of the Tai Heng World!
"Then Yang Lu will do, very good, this one is acceptable!"
"Can I log in now?" Yang Lu clicked on the login screen, then everything went black. When she opened her eyes again, all she could hear was a cacophony of chatter, like a hundred ducks quacking.
He quickly turned his head and saw that he was standing in the square of a small village, surrounded by a group of excited children who were jumping and shouting.
"A child?" Yang Lu was taken aback. She quickly looked down and realized that she had become a child herself!
"That's really something, starting with a kid!" Yang Lu's speechlessness lasted only a minute before she became excited.
This world, so crystal clear, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, bathed in the blazing sunlight.
This game doesn't have any false advertising?
No, that's false advertising. The realism is way more than 99%, it's 150%!
"Wait!" Yang Lu remembered something and quickly shouted, "Exit!"
Everything went black, and when he opened his eyes again, all that was left in front of him was his helmet.
"You can log out!" Yang Lu breathed a sigh of relief, then returned to the game, wandering around and studying its features.
The UI is very simple, with a personal avatar, ID, health bar, and mana bar.
However, the mana bar is empty at this time, probably because you don't have any mana left.
Open your personal information interface; on the left is your 3D avatar, and on the right are your various data.
Height, weight, physical strength, age, reaction time, Qi and Blood strength, etc.
The Cultivation Method section is empty.
Skill bar: Empty.
The Divine Ability Bar is empty.
Weapon slots are empty.
Jewelry section: empty.
Yang Lu was speechless; the emptiness looked so unsettling.
Um?
Yang Lu suddenly noticed messages flashing by in the chat channel in the lower left corner.
Congratulations to cultivator Qin Muchu for opening the newbie gift pack and obtaining the Cultivation Method <Nine Yang Divine Skill>.
Congratulations to cultivator Wang Lang for opening the Supreme Gift Pack and obtaining the Swordsmanship <Dugu Nine Swords>.
"Gift pack?" Yang Lu immediately found the store interface.
Sure enough, there were gift packs inside, ranging from the lowest-level newbie gift pack to the emperor gift pack, and finally the supreme gift pack, a total of three types.
The price is extremely high. New players can get one draw for 25 yuan, and a 10-draw costs 248 yuan. A 10-draw guarantees Breathing Technique, and a 100-draw guarantees Divine Forms. There is also a very low probability of getting a high-level Cultivation Method!
The Emperor's Gift Pack costs 250 per pull, or 2480 for a ten-pull. A ten-pull guarantees Cultivation Method, and a hundred-pull guarantees Divine Ability power. There is also a very low chance of getting Earth-grade Divine Ability.
The Supreme Gift Pack costs 2500 per pull, or 24800 for a 10-pull. A 10-pull guarantees Human-grade Divine Ability, a 100-pull guarantees Earth-grade Divine Ability, and there's an extremely low chance of getting Peerless Divine Abilities!
"Holy crap, this game is way too pay-to-win!" Yang Lu looked at the items she got from the Supreme Gift Pack, and then at the items in the Newbie Gift Pack.
If you unlock the Nine Yang Divine Skill and I unlock the White Dragon Swallowing Absorption Technique, we both have a bright future?
Little did he know that it took an incredible amount of luck to buy a Peerless Divine Abilities for a mere 24,800!
If such a Peerless Divine Abilities were to circulate on the market, let alone 24,800 RMB, there would be plenty of people willing to pay 24,800 Spirit Stone!
Despite his obvious disgust, he still deposited 24,800 yuan directly.
He's usually too lazy to even spend 6 yuan on the first recharge for a regular game, but is <Tai Heng True Immortal> an ordinary game?
With 25,000 yuan, you should definitely try your luck with the Supreme Gift Pack, because the Breathing Technique and Divine Forms are practically useless in the Supreme Gift Pack; you can get at least eight of them in a ten-pull!
"The Supreme Gift Pack guarantees at least Human-grade Divine Ability, but my luck can't be limited to just a Human-level one, right? Give me a Peerless One, or at least a Heaven-grade Divine Ability!" Yang Lu clasped her hands together, prayed to Immortal Venerable Taiheng, and then slammed them down.
The gacha animation depicts celestial stars falling from the sky, and items of different levels will have different colors.
What appeared before Yang Lu was a dazzling golden light!
"Holy crap!" Yang Lu was stunned. If she remembered correctly, the golden light was: Peerless Divine Abilities?
"Grass!"
"You fucking deserve to die!"
"Dude, how much did you top up?"
"Looking for a mentor, please!"
The results would be announced on the world chat, and before Yang Lu could even see what he had drawn, the world chat was already buzzing with excitement.
Because some big spenders are constantly pouring money into the game, and some have already spent over ten million!
But so far, only one Peerless Divine Abilities has been revealed!
"Peerless Divine Abilities: Machine Spirit Awakening!"
"Machine Spirit Awakening: Can Machine Spirit Awakening within inanimate objects such as machines, puppets, and metals, causing them to enter a state beyond their limits. It can also be released onto beings whose will is weaker than your own, after which the released being has a chance to be subdued by you."
"Clever? Is it Machine Soul?" Yang Lu didn't know whether this Divine Ability was strong or weak, nor did she know what the overlimit state looked like, but judging from the description, it should be a Divine Ability suitable for those who follow the mechanical, puppet, and summoner paths.
"But..." Yang Lu suppressed a laugh, posting the information about the Divine Ability on the public channel with a bitter expression. "Brothers, I drew this Divine Ability, but I don't want it! I want to play Sword Cultivator!"
"Fuck you!"
"You don't want it? Give it to me!"
"Peerless Divine Abilities! Even the words and images are in gold! I also drew from the Supreme Gift Pack, thinking that getting the <Heavenly Sword> was awesome, but now I realize I'm just a complete clown!"
"Ah, I really want the Heavenly Sword! I've been dreaming of playing Sword Cultivator!" Yang Lu said.
"Shall we switch?"
Yang Lu immediately closed the chat interface.
Trading Peerless Divine Abilities for Earth-grade Divine Ability?
Do you think I'm stupid?!
Besides, who says a sword can't awaken intelligence? A sword is also made of metal!
I have this Divine Ability, I can still practice Sword Cultivator!
Accept the quest and let's go fight monsters!
~~~~~~~~
The scions of the Taiheng Sect Aristocratic Clan were worn down in the infighting among the rebel armies, while ordinary disciples perished on the battlefields of the two Taiheng Sects.
The cultivators of Yingzhou are about to encounter billions of players who are indestructible, cultivate at a rapid pace, have peculiar thought processes, and are like persistent leeches.
"Both places are busy, and I feel bad about favoring one over the other. I need to find something for the sects in other places to do too!"
After all, people tend to overthink when they have free time, and then they might create trouble out of nothing. Maybe a Conan reincarnated or a Sherlock Holmes reborn will discover some clues.
If there had been a war between the two Taiping Rebellion back then, Lin Tianheng would definitely have gone to fight, why would he have bothered to cause trouble for Yang Ning?
Next up is Tianyi Sect.
Tianyi Sect is currently the largest sect in Tai Heng Star. If Taiheng is severely weakened by the Great Peace Way Dao and the rebel army, it could lead to an imbalance of power Taiheng Sect and Tianyi Sect.
If the Tianyi Sect takes advantage of Taiheng's weakness and attacks again...
If Taiheng falls, won't Yang Ning be the one who gets beaten up?
