Online Collection:
Online game, heroes and princes of the three kingdoms, no pop-up window
The latest virtual online game, Heroes and Dukes, was about to open for beta testing. Mu Yang, like all professional players, had his eyes set on this new management online game.
Recruit farmers, reclaim farmland, build bases, recruit soldiers, and conquer the world!
System: " Welcome to the game. Your current location is Yizhou, the Ancient Three Kingdoms of the Celestial Dynasty."
Heroes and Dukes was based on the civilization and history of each country, and the players in the Celestial Region were lucky enough to be born into the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms.
The surrounding forest was dense, the hills were undulating, birds were chirping, and beasts were speaking. One could even vaguely hear the sound of flowing water, which made one feel refreshed. The realism of the sensing effect could be seen.
Mu Yang entered the game immediately. He first checked his status. Other than the 10 points of Constitution (Constitution represents health, and 10 points of Constitution corresponds to 10HP), the rest of his initial status was a bunch of zeros. He had no attack or defense. Then, he looked at the 16-slot bag that came with the system. There were only two items inside.
[Dukedom Token: The token of a village chief, proof of identity. The lord of a village can obtain a fief of a village (not activated)]
[Rudimentary Machete: Rudimentary Machete, no attack, weight 1]
Just like its name, the game had two modes: Hero and Duke.
Mu Yang had chosen the dukedom mode, so he was born with the identity of a chief. At the same time, the system automatically gave him a machete and a badge of a chief that symbolized his dukedom.
A village chief was the chief of a mile of land. It was the lowest level of the dukedom model. It obtained a legal fief and recruited villagers and craftsmen to form its own tribal clan. Through the construction of villages, bases, strongholds, and other methods of development, it could gradually be upgraded to a pavilion chief, township chief, and so on, possessing more fiefs.
Ten miles for a pavilion, ten pavilions for a village!
On the other hand, Hero players would automatically have the rank of sergeant when they were born, and they could also be promoted to higher professions such as Shichang, Dubo, Centurion, and so on, leading soldiers.
Shi Chang led ten soldiers and Du Bo led fifty soldiers.
Of course, although these two identities were given by nature, they needed to be activated by the players through missions and other methods to become the real heroes and dukes.
Through the system notification, Mu Yang learned that he was born in the Yizhou region of the Ancient Three Kingdoms, which was the Ba and Shu region. It was a good omen!
Yizhou was a land of abundance, and Emperor Gaozu of Han relied on this geographical advantage to establish a rear base and rapidly developed. He defeated the Overlord of West Chu in the war between Chu and Han, and then established the Darkhan Dynasty.
The rain in the middle of Sichuan was abundant and the land was fertile, which should be beneficial for the development of agricultural industries.
After knowing this, Mu Yang immediately ran in the direction of the sound of the flowing water to find the best location nearby. He could choose a location for his fief while looking for NPCs to receive the main quest.
Water nourished the people, and it was naturally a place with good feng shui. It was the best choice to build a base and build a village. At the same time, he could also discover the system villages and NPCs faster.
In Heroes and Dukes, all the players were poor when they first entered the game. For example, the village construction blueprint needed to trigger various missions to obtain, and only after activating the identity of the chief could they officially own the land before they could start construction.
Therefore, it was impossible to build villages directly, which prevented the villages from being everywhere and other situations that were not conducive to the balance of the game. Moreover, all players were randomly assigned to the place of birth.
Mu Yang quickly found a small river that was about ten meters wide. He walked down the river and continued to look for NPCs. As long as they found the NPC and triggered the mission, they would be able to successfully activate the identity of the leader of the feudal lords. Then, they would be able to obtain a fief and wait for an opportunity to establish a tribal base.
According to the closed beta experience, the novice period for Celestial Region players was three months. During this period, if a dukedom player successfully promoted from Li Zheng to township head, upgraded their fief to township, or if a hero player obtained the position of centurion and commanded 100 soldiers.
In that case, all the players in the Celestial Region would enter the historical plot 24 hours later, and the first large-scale expansion pack, the Yellow Turban Uprising, would be activated in advance!
If not, then after three months, the system would forcefully trigger the game process and automatically start the historical plot.
In less than three months of precious peace, they had to race against time. The more strength they had, the more hope they had for hegemony.
Mu Yang thought as he ran towards the water. It turned out to be a small river. Then, he went down the river and scouted the surroundings to find the NPCs.
After a while, he was blocked by a small green hill that stood next to the river. As the saying went, one should not enter the forest. For Mu Yang, who knew how to survive in the mountains, he should enter the forest.
This was because although there were many wild beasts and bandits in the forest, there were also many unexpected treasures hidden in it.
Thus, Mu Yang carefully entered the mountain forest. The small mountain was next to the river, so the trees were especially lush. They were dense and green, comparable to a primitive forest.
The hill was neither tall nor straight. Instead, it looked very beautiful. However, Mu Yang was not in the mood to appreciate these things. He was only cautiously guarding against the ferocious beasts in the forest.
He wasn't walking around recklessly. Instead, he was walking in the footsteps of a hunter. He bent his body and hid in the dense vegetation. He walked quietly while throwing stones to ask for directions.
Probing the way was a very simple method of finding a way. It was one of the essential abilities of professional players.
Fortunately, there weren't many terrifying wild beasts in the forest as he had imagined. Instead, it was a warm and harmonious scene with birds chirping and flowers fragrance. Perhaps it was because the mountain was small that it couldn't accommodate large wild beasts!
However, soon, a discordant voice disrupted the atmosphere. Mu Yang was happy from the bottom of his heart. He knew that he had a mission. He quickly ran in the direction of the sound, but his pace was not scattered.
From the sound, it seemed to be a battle between a man and a beast. There were both the shouts of a man and the roars of a beast.
When he got closer, a classic human-beast battle (which was actually a player fighting a monster) was displayed in front of Mu Yang. A young man who looked like a player was fighting two wild dogs. There was another person lying on the ground beside him.
Wild dogs were monsters that fluctuated between Level 4 and 7. Their levels were not high and were considered ordinary wild beasts. Players of the same level could solo one of them, but it was not easy for a person to fight two wild dogs at the same level.
Although the young man couldn't defeat the two wild dogs quickly, he could still dodge and deal with them. Occasionally, he would fight back. If he was careful, he could kill all the wild dogs after dozens of rounds, but he had to be extremely careful.
Fortunately, these two wild dogs were not very strong. They were at the lowest level, Level 4. While they were fighting, the person lying on the ground shouted,""Hero, save me!"
The situation was obvious. The one lying on the ground was an NPC, and the one fighting with the two wild dogs was the lucky player who had triggered the mission.
What a melodramatic plot. He had encountered a quest NPC!
The requirement for the hero player to activate the sergeant identity was to kill five bandits alone. The sergeant could lead five soldiers, but no one could recruit or raise five soldiers in the early stages of the game. Therefore, this identity was basically useless in the early stages, so it was difficult to complete the restriction.
However, dukedom players were different. As long as they accepted the relevant missions and activated their identity as a lieutenant, they could quickly obtain a fief and develop.
And the young man who was fighting the wild dog was very likely to be the dukedom player who had triggered the mission of the chief.
A large part of the game depended on luck. Strength was only the basic requirement. If some players were to be born directly next to the mission NPC, that would be really lucky!
The NPC who was lying on the ground was on the verge of death, but his eyes were like torches. He immediately noticed Mu Yang, who had heard the sound, and called for help."Hero, can you come and help me?”
Mu Yang thought to himself. This player had already accepted the Li Zheng mission. If he went forward, he would only be helping out of loyalty. He would not be able to obtain the mission reward. He would only be wasting precious time in the early stages of the game and the scarce 10 health points.
The player was entangled by two wild dogs that were four levels higher than him. How could he have the time to talk? He could only dodge and block with all his might. A Level 4 Wild Dog should be able to deal 2-3HP damage. If he was not careful, he would die after a few hits.
Should he save her or not?
The player didn't say anything, so he could pretend he didn't see anything and turn around to leave. However, Mu Yang could not bear to see the NPC lying on the ground, his life hanging by a thread.
Time was precious for professional players in the early stages. They could seize the opportunity to establish an advantage and lead the other players. They could not afford to waste any time. However, Mu Yang was a man of blood and indomitable spirit. How could he bear to abandon others in danger?
Although they were not relatives or friends, a real man walked in the world with a clear conscience. He would help out when he saw injustice. This was a real man.
Mu Yang immediately rushed over and shouted,"Don't panic, I'll help you."
Hearing this, the NPC and the player felt relieved. There were many chivalrous people in the world, let alone in a game.
However, the two wild dogs refused to let him go. They had their own mission. Killing the NPC lying on the ground would complete their mission given by the system.
One of the wild dogs seemed to know that someone was helping. It immediately gave up on attacking the player and directly pounced on the NPC without any protection. Looking at its dying appearance, it was likely that a casual bite would end its life.
At this moment, the player was shocked, but he was entangled and could not get out to save him. It seemed that the NPC was about to die under the wild dog's claws.
Mu Yang ran over, but he was still a few meters away. He calmly threw his rough machete at the wild dog that was trying to kill him.
When Lu saw injustice, he roared. When it was time to make a move, he would make a move. That was exactly what he said!
The moment the wild dog's claws landed, the machete struck its throat. The huge impact knocked the wild dog to the ground, and a double damage of 12HP rose.
The quest NPC had managed to escape and was just about to thank him when Mu Yang, who had rushed over quickly, rushed to the front of the wild dog. He picked up his machete and began to slash the heavily injured wild dog.
It was not difficult for Mu Yang to solo a level 4 wild dog. Fighting monsters to level up was also one of the necessary skills for professional players.
"Good!"
The player who had caught his breath freed his hands to focus on dealing with a wild dog while cheering loudly for Mu Yang. She did not know if it was because of Mu Yang's timely stab or because he had acted out of righteousness.
Hearing the cheers, Mu Yang's blood boiled. He instantly felt happy and heroic. The heroes of the Three Kingdoms were just like that!
"Ding…congratulations to player Mu Yang for triggering the Lord's Main Storyline Quest to save Old Village Chief.”
[Save Old Lizheng: Help the NPC Old Lizheng to defeat the Wild Dog. Do not let it suffer any damage.]
Mu Yang was feeling delighted when he suddenly heard the system notification. He could not help but feel strange. Why did he trigger the quest instead? Could it be that the player in front of him did not trigger it?
With a belly full of questions, he immediately killed the wild dog that only had half of its health left in a few moves, and then ended the life of the other wild dog with the player.
System: Player Mu Yang has killed Wild Dog. Obtained 12 EXP. Congratulations on leveling up. Level 1.
[System: Player Mu Yang has killed Wild Dog. Obtained 5 EXP.]
He only needed 10 experience points to level up from level 0 to level 1. He had gained all the experience points from killing a wild dog that was four levels higher, and he had directly leveled up to level 1.
After the battle ended, Mu Yang was about to ask when the player reached out and said,"Heroes, loyalty is everywhere in the nine provinces."
Mu Yang was taken aback, but his shock soon turned into joy. He reached out and replied,"Duke, Mu Yang."
It turned out that this player was a hero player. No wonder he triggered the mission as soon as he arrived.
"Thank you for helping me, Brother Mu Yang. Otherwise, I would have died here today.”The player thanked him gratefully.
"I'm ashamed, ashamed. Compared to my loyal brothers, I'm inferior.”
Hearing this, Mu Yang could not help but blush. As a Hero player, he had saved someone who had nothing to do with him, but he was hesitant. In comparison, he was indeed a little inferior.
Such words and deeds could really be called the words 'loyalty throughout the nine provinces.' He was indeed filled with hot-bloodedness and lofty sentiments.
In just a few words, Mu Yang and Mu Yang deeply regretted not meeting each other earlier. They could not help but appreciate each other. Such a player was not inferior to any historical figure of the three kingdoms. Mu Yang wanted to recruit him. Originally, the other party would be a dukedom player in the future. He only wanted to help out and make friends with a dukedom to lay the foundation for future allies. However, he did not know that the other party was a hero, and a player hero filled with loyalty.
No, he could not say that he was recruiting, but rather cooperating and befriending. After seeing the heroic spirit and breadth of mind of the Nine States, Mu Yang did not dare to say that he was recruiting such a person.
But thinking about it, a powerful hero player and a wise duke player working together could form a powerful player force.
"Cough cough, thank you for saving me.”The NPC Old Li Zheng who was lying on the ground coughed twice, interrupting their conversation.
The two of them immediately realized that there was an NPC here. Although he was on the verge of death, he was not dead yet. Moreover, he had not even received the mission reward!
Mu Yang and the other two immediately wanted to help him up, but the old Li Zheng waved his hand and said,""No need, I can't take it anymore. This warrior, you are the chief of the village. You can take over this old man's position and fulfill my wish.”
So that was how it was. The identity of a Li Zheng was activated by taking over as a Li Zheng from another NPC in the system. Mu Yang felt that this setting was reasonable and simple.
Old Li Zheng then said to Loyal Spirit All Over Nine Regions,"Hero, I have a gift for you.”
Then, he took out a package and shouted,""With such a righteous man, the Han Dynasty can prosper!" After saying that, he breathed his last, leaving the two of them looking at each other.
If this old man is dead, then so be it. Why is he still shouting slogans!
Originally, Mu Yang had wanted to spend some time persuading him to submit to him. It seemed that the system had set that this old Li Zheng would disappear after completing the mission, and then the person who completed the mission would take over his position.
Righteous Spirit All Over Nine Regions opened the package and saw a short dagger inside.
[Exquisite Dagger: High-quality, carefully crafted. Can be hidden in sleeves. Attack 3. No requirements. Weight: 1.]
Good weapon!
The attack 3 hidden dagger didn't need to be restricted by level. Such powerful attributes were simply a powerful weapon in the early stages of the game, and it was even more of an assassination weapon.
Loyal Spirit Nine Regions happily put away his mission reward, and Mu Yang also completed the mission as he wished.
System: Congratulations to player Mu Yang for completing the Lord's Main Storyline Mission and activating his identity as a Li Zheng. He has taken the first step towards becoming a Lord. Quickly choose your fief!
At the same time, Mu Yang said happily,""Loyal brother, what plans do you have for the future?”
"Of course, I'll travel the world and travel all over the Nine States.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Yang knew that there was no possibility of roping him in. From his name, it could be seen that this person was not an ordinary person. Moreover, he was a person who had ambitions in the Nine States.
"Heroes should be like this. I am also prepared to quickly choose a fief, build a tribe, and recruit soldiers. I believe that with the help of this dagger in the future, the loyal brothers will definitely be able to spread the name of loyalty throughout the Nine Provinces.”
Mu Yang also voiced his thoughts. Rather than being unable to recruit him, it would be better to befriend this friend who had gone through life and death with him so as to leave a path for his future development.
"Brother Muyang, I saw a place along the way. It's near a mountain and is surrounded by water. It's rich in resources and is the most suitable place to build a base.”The Loyal Spirit of the Nine States knew what Mu Yang was thinking, so he kindly told him a piece of news and immediately pointed out a way.
"In that case, thank you, loyal brother. We'll part ways here today. I hope we'll meet again if fate permits.”
After completing the mission and obtaining the location that he had been looking forward to, Mu Yang's entire heart was focused on the fief. After knowing the other party's goal, he did not say much and only pointed out the right path to leave the mountain.
He just didn't know when they would meet again after today!
"Alright, you and I have our own plans. We will part ways here. I won't forget your help today. I will definitely repay you in the future.”Yiqi Manjiu cupped his hands and strode out of the forest.
When we meet in another day, we will talk about loyalty and lofty sentiments again.
This sentence made Mu Yang's heart boil. To be able to recognize this hero at the beginning of the game was really a kind of fate.
She didn't sigh. She had wasted some time just now and had to hurry up. Mu Yang immediately set off and walked towards the path indicated by Yi Qi Man of the Nine States.
Mu Yang's entry into the forest caused a small commotion. Birds and beasts flew away in fright, and it was quite lively. Most of them were low-level wild animals such as pheasants, hares, roe deers, and so on. It seemed that the path that Loyal Spirit Nine Regions had pointed out was very correct.
Experienced professional players, especially those who had experience in surviving in the mountains, could usually survive in the cruel competition. This was a very important point for professional players compared to ordinary players.
Of course, Mu Yang knew that he did not lack this ability. However, with the guidance of the Nine Regions, he could save a lot of effort and time. He did not have to trouble himself to test the waters.
Although there were no dangerous wild beasts, there were many weeds and vines in the forest. Mu Yang was occasionally scratched by the thorns or thorny grass branches that passed by, and he secretly complained in his heart.
After a short while, they were safely out of the forest. However, the strange thing was that Mu Yang realized that he had lost 2HP out of nowhere. Could it be that he had been bitten by some wild beast or that he had lost 2 HP from the thorns? He had not been injured when he had killed the wild dog.
Mu Yang was a little confused for a moment, but fortunately, he found the location that was mentioned by Yiqi Man in Jiuzhou. It was on the other side of the mountain forest. It was indeed a good location with dense forests to the north, a river to the west, and a plain in front of it.
Forest, rivers, plains, all three were present. The terrain was really good!
He quickly looked around and decided to use the dukedom without hesitation. With a flash of white light, a wooden tablet appeared beside him. To be precise, it was a tablet made of wood.
Wooden Tablet of Land (Durability 500/500): The simple wooden tablet was at the center, and the surrounding one-mile area belonged to Village Chief Mu Yang.
The wooden tablet was temporarily empty and had no function. If a base was built, the corresponding name and function would appear.
The simple wooden tablet in front of him was proof of his fief, and also the only property of the chief. And if the wooden tablet's durability ran out, the fief would also disappear.
However, don't be discouraged. You can still use the dukedom token to choose a new fief, but your assets will all be gone.
What a pity. There wasn't even a tent or a thatched hut. The system was too stingy. It just gave him a wooden tablet and that was it!
Mu Yang couldn't help but mutter to himself. This wooden tablet was very fragile. It only had a durability of 500 and could be easily shattered. He had to quickly build a village to ensure his safety.
The construction of the village was not that fast. First, they cut down some branches and wood to surround the wooden monument. Then, they built simple fortifications to ensure the safety of the wooden monument in case of any accidents.
In the closed beta, Mu Yang saw an unlucky player who had just chosen a location and was chopping wood at the side. He was then directly charged at the wooden monument by a wild boar that did not know what was good for him.
Without any protective measures, he would be knocked down by the monster in two moves. At that time, he would want to cry but have no tears.
In Mu Yang's senses, there was something vaguely similar to a land. He knew that this was the scope of his current fief.
After choosing a fief, he would be a dignified Li Zheng. With a Li of land, he would be the predecessor of the dukedom.
The new settings of the system made everyone's eyes light up. All dukedom players would be dukedom once they entered the game. They would have a reasonable amount of land and could only be promoted to official dukedom in the future to dominate the world.
Hero players were the so-called Hero Warriors. They were born as heroes and had the identity of a sergeant. In the future, they could compete for military ranks and positions. They could lead troops and sweep the world.
The vassals were divided into one side and fought all over the world. Heroes were bold and heroic, and they traveled all over the Nine Provinces!
Heroes and dukes fought each other to seize the world!
How could the game's official advertisement not be moved by such bold words!
[PS: Meeting each other is fate. The vast starting point is the same for Xiu Ming and the other book friends. What fate!]
If you think it's good after reading it, you can add it to your collection first. It's not too late to decide whether to recommend it or not after reading ten or eight chapters!
