Chapter 125 125 - Alex Playing
Of course, it didn\'t make Quest rewards extremely low, as the dopamine that Players received would be greatly affected by this.
The way he did it was quite simple.
While in a traditional MMORPG the Player takes just a few seconds to leave the city and go to the field to kill the monsters, in ESW where the world had a realistic size this route took several minutes, just like in real life.
In normal games the Player found groups of monsters and could kill as many as they wanted without worrying about anything, in ESW Alex worried about making the atmosphere more realistic and the monsters were in more distant and realistic places, since it wouldn\'t make sense for monsters to walk back and forth around the cities while the guards just stood by and watched.
Even the battles were longer, as the monsters were almost as powerful as the Players and the Players needed some time to recover after a battle.
And with the huge amount of Players starting to play, the monster hunting zones were also very crowded, which made it difficult for Players to kill enough monsters to be able to level up.
But despite all the difficulties, the Players were loving it.
The fulfillment that Players felt when killing a monster was much greater, turning in a quest and feeling a comfortable energy permeate their body was also wonderful, and all this with the fun that was seeing people from all over the world having fun around gave a unique experience for these Players.
Alex was currently in character [A] playing with Anna, Kitty, Kurt, Scott and Jean.
To play together, everyone created Night Elf characters.
Unlike the Orcs who woke up in a city that was being attacked, their group woke up in a peaceful Night Elf small town with the background that they were Elves selected to train to become the small town\'s warriors.
But for now, they were still in a selection process where only the best would be selected to learn from the city\'s true Night Elf warriors.
some secret skills if they met certain requirements in the game, which would greatly increase the sense of exploitation of the Players, with the expectation that some Of course, only Alex knew that there would also be a possibility for the Players to learn some hidden skills.
Just like Skyrim had skill books in different locations that the Player could learn after fulfilling certain requirements, Alex also added this in ESW, where Players could learn some secret skills if they met certain requirements in the game, which would greatly increase the sense of exploitation of the Players, with the expectation that some quest could yield something hidden that would give them some advantage.
Despite the Player choosing a class at the beginning, Alex never intended to limit Players to getting abilities from other classes, but of course, getting those abilities and using them effectively would be much more difficult than the abilities of the classes the Players initially chose.
In their group, Anna and Kurt became Rogues, Jean chose to be a Druid, Kitty decided to be a Priest to help the group, while Scott was with a lot of doubt between Warrior and Hunter, but thinking that being a Warrior he could seem cooler to Jean, Scott decided to become a Warrior, leaving Hunter to Alex, thus making their group complete with all Night Elf classes.
Alex found it ironic that the class he was left with was his favorite class in his previous life, as he had a hobby of collecting the most beautiful beasts like Hunter in the game and combining those beasts with his armors and mounts, so he was happy therefore.
The group had already been playing for an hour and a half and by that time they were in a forest hunting Imps.
Imps were small creatures with red skin and humanoid bodies with intermediate intelligence.
They couldn\'t speak, but they were smart enough to make camps.
Looking at the Imp camp in the distance, Kurt got a little concerned and asked as he held up his two daggers. "Do we attack this?"
"Has anyone figured out the death penalty yet?" Jean asked as she looked at Kitty.
Kitty had a menu floating in front of her face, which was a screen showing the game\'s forum.
"Apparently, when a Player dies at level 1, their entire experience bar will be reset in addition to being prevented from playing for 1 hour, and from what I\'m seeing from Players talking, some say they lost some copper coins when they died, but not everybody."
Kitty said while looking at the forum.
Hearing that, Anna looked at Alex.
"What do you think, Alex?"
Hearing Anna ask Alex, everyone else also turned and looked at him expectantly.
Even though they played for an hour longer than Alex, as he only logged in after them while he was looking at the game\'s stats, with just a few pieces of information that Alex "derived", their efficiency in killing monsters and gaining experience increased. very.
Mainly because Alex was very good at Fortnite and because he was also wearing a black cape like theirs, they already had the belief that he was a Hardcore Player who had much more knowledge than them in games.
In ESW everyone also had the black covers with the design of the head of Ender Dragon, since all the games were from Mojang, Alex decided to continue with the tradition that the covers of the games could be used in other games.
Even the skins that Players won in Fortnite tournaments could be taken to Minecraft or ESW, which made the impression of Players\' skins become something more sacred and prestigious.
Even the skins that Players received in Minecraft\'s Hypixel defense, which was initially something very common, which everyone had, was now extremely rare, as only a few million out of over a billion Players had it.
Alex looked at their equipment and thought that their team was very efficient at using class skills, as they were used to using skills from their powers in real life, and felt that it would be okay to try to attack the camp of the Imps.
As he knew the difficulty of the camp, he judged that it would not be impossible for them to get there.
Of course, if it was a group of ordinary Players, they would need at least 10-15 people level 1 to hack this without dying, but considering their level, it would be challenging, but not impossible.
"It\'s a risk, but considering that the greater the risk the greater the reward, I think we can do it, in the worst case we can only get more experience again since we are only level 1." Alex said as he looked at everyone.
Despite all being Night Elves, each one had their own characteristics, with Anna having short black hair, Kurt having blue hair, Jean with red hair, Scott with red eyes, and Kitty with Twin Tails hair, of course, he with white hair, already that he felt they matched, so even though they were all in different bodies, it was still pretty clear who was who because they all still had characteristics of them in real life.
"Then let\'s try!" Scott said excitedly.
He loved fighting with the sword, as he mostly attacked from afar with his powers in real life, it was a very new experience to use this new means of combat in the game.
Even for the others, who felt like they got new powers and were really excited to experience everything.
Amidst Scott\'s excitement, he inadvertently glanced at Jean, wanting to see her reaction, but seeing that she still acted casually treating him like the others, he felt a little let down.
Alex noticed that and shook his head, in his time living with the group and with his previous knowledge of this world, he had already noticed that Scott liked Jean, but unlike the comics where she was dating a boy named Duncan, in this world she wasn\'t dating anyone and just acted like she didn\'t understand the hints Scott was giving her.
Looks at Anna who had a cute smile on her face, Alex stopped thinking about the relationship problems of these two and smiled at his girlfriend.
With his increasing proficiency in magic and elemental control, Alex felt that the time was coming when he could do more with Anna than just hold her hand and give her a quick peck.
What he didn\'t notice was the look Jean gave him after shaking her head and pretending she hadn\'t noticed Scott\'s gaze.
