The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 100

Episode 100

After escaping from the capsule, Il-woo visited the gaming community he often visited.

I was planning to brag about it and write about what I experienced while playing the game today.

However, the atmosphere on the bulletin board was unusual.

There were posts written by people who had logged out before that, and the content they wrote was so absurd.

Among them, I looked for the article with the most views.

[Day 1 of connecting. [Honest visit to Connect]

Today, I finally connected to Connect, which I had been waiting for. I have so much to say, but I’ll say it in order.

First of all, capsules.

Let me be clear: this is not Earth technology. Let alone a full dive, can you imagine doing business while lying in a capsule?

Since eating and sleeping are all taken care of, there is no problem even if you dive for a long time.

And more importantly, after playing for over ten hours, does it make sense that you don’t feel any fatigue, as if you woke up after a good night’s sleep?

So, I contacted Connect directly. Then you said that playing games in Connect has a mechanism similar to dreaming? As a liberal arts person, I don’t really know, so please explain to me.

There are many other features, so I won’t explain them here, but I’ll just move on to the game.

After listening to the brief explanation and setting up my appearance, I entered the game. But wow, I don’t know what to say about this.

Guys, don’t watch movies or novels, do this.

This isn’t a game, it’s just a level shift.

The realism and vividness are awesome.

CG? 3D modeling? If this were processed graphically, we would be just like a bunch of polygons. I guarantee you, you will never be able to tell them apart from real people.

And after connecting, did you feel something strange? It’s like something invisible is surrounding my body.

Can’t you feel it? It’s Mana.

Just what you need when using sword skills and magic.

The moment you realize that, you get goosebumps, right? Guys, I’ll say it again, don’t read the novel or watch the movie, come in and see for yourself. You will see the moment when your imagination becomes reality.

If you read up to this point, you were a complete praiser of Connect. However, what followed was completely opposite in tone.

If you listen to this point, doesn’t it sound like a god game?

Now, let’s really talk about the game.

After logging in and feeling that tsunami of emotion, I looked around.

My immediate thought was, ‘Ah, isn’t this what a quiet rural village in Europe is like?’

Old, ramshackle brick buildings on an unpaved dirt road. And the smell of rotten urine and feces assaults my nose.

You know what it feels like, right?

I understand that it is a study of reality up to that point, but the problem is that this is not a simple experience simulator, but a game.

For nearly 30 minutes after logging in, there was no explanation as to what to do or where to go.

Moreover, it was difficult to get an idea of how large this rural city was.

For over 30 minutes, everyone was just wandering around in silence, and then someone approached them.

A priest and an official brought some soldiers and wrote down their names.

Then, they told me to relax and work comfortably now that I was registered as a resident, and then left.

No, no matter what, don’t you need to clearly explain what to do?

I was so embarrassed that I ran after him and grabbed him and asked him, but instead he asked me back.

“Why are you asking me if I need a job? You have to find it yourself. “He’s a strange person.”

It’s not like this. I was about to attack because I was so angry at the amazing reality study, but the priest next to me told me to go to a professional association like the Mercenary Association.

Anyway, I went to the association and they said there was nothing to entrust to Jjolab?

In the end, after wandering around for a while, I finally found a part-time job at a general store.

I received money for part-time money by running errands for the remaining time, but when I went to the inn, had a meal, and got a room, I didn’t have much time left.

In this situation, I thought I’d just go hunting…

but among the people who came in with me, there were people who immediately went hunting outside the castle, right? However, they say they encountered a pack of wild dogs and were wiped out.

To sum up, the performance of the capsule is beyond doubt, and the realism and liveliness of the game are enough to be called a god game.

However, the game’s internal system is too unfriendly and too realistic, so it may be too complicated and difficult to approach as a game.

However, I can assure you that if a similar level of full-dive virtual reality game does not appear, I think Connect will dominate the gaming world for a while.

It looks like Avatar’s fatigue is over, so I’ll go diving again. If you happen to come to Lesley Kingdom’s free city of Rayleigh, let’s pretend to know each other.

-It was a real full dive? Oh my god when is the next draw!

-The game video was uploaded and it is no joke. As the author said, it is completely realistic.

-Putting aside the game, I want to try using magic.

-Let’s give up the dishwashing game and just play Luniji.

└Are you kidding me? There are still black cows who play this nostalgic game?

-Just being able to play games while sleeping is a great game. If there is anyone who would like to pass on a capsule, please contact me. 010-xxx-xxxx

– I want to try it, but I have no intention of playing the game while being stressed. I will have to apply later when the strategy comes out.

After reading the visit’s account, Ilwoo realized how lucky he had been.

‘The treatment is completely different in each starting city?’

In addition to the reviews posted on Best, there were quite a few posts expressing dissatisfaction from players who started in other cities.

It was clear that people were frustrated with the hardships of the players who got lucky first, but they also wanted to play.

Ilwoo looked through a few more articles and soon wrote down his experience.

Ilwoo’s post titled [Connect Free City Mira Exploration] did not receive much response at first, but soon it received an explosive number of views and was placed at the top of the bulletin board.

-The mayor himself showed up? Isn’t it crazy?

└The video was posted on the Connect bulletin board.

└LOL I thought he was the principal of our school.

└Did you see him getting stabbed in the side by his secretary while he was giving a speech? A bitch. Haha

└In other cities, there is only one low-level official, but the class is different.

-If it’s a starting city, shouldn’t the size and facilities be roughly similar? If you compare Rayleigh in the previous article and Mira here, the level difference seems to be about the same as Gangchon and Seoul, right?

└There is no law that says they have to be similar. Aren’t there people who prefer the countryside to a crowded city?

-A video was just uploaded demonstrating knights sparring and simple combat wizards, and it was great.

└Wow, it wasn’t a joke to see the sword in real life, right? And it’s moving so fast that I can’t even see what’s going on.

└Wizard’s magic explosion! If you’ve only thrown a fireball once, you’ll have no wish.

-But is it okay for the gap between starting cities to be this large? It’s like a lottery, right? In some places, you have to wash dishes, and in other places, you get free lodging and education. If that happens, there will be a big difference in levels later.

└When I inquired with the game company, they said that they cannot touch the internal parts of the game? It is said that starting from the next period, you will be able to select a starting city.

└Shut up and go to Mira

– A new post has been posted on the bulletin board, and it says that besides Mira, all the starting cities in the Reuben Kingdom are treated well. I don’t think there’s any need to insist on Mira.

└You may not know it at first, but later on, as the number of users increases, it becomes difficult to receive quests, so it might not be a bad idea to go to a minor place.

-The owner who first posted on the bulletin board said he had logged out and gone for a drink. Hahaha

└I think I’m going to quit the game because I’m so angry. Some people work part-time and some people get treated well.

└I feel ashamed, wondering if I played the game for this reason.

└I heard that the game company will allow you to change the starting city when you receive the next rider?

└It would be funny if everyone went to Mummy like this.

Ilwoo looked happily at the replies to the post and then headed back to the capsule.

I have already taken 3 days of vacation to coincide with the New Year.

‘I need to close the gap before the others come over.’

Avatars in the game eat and sleep the same way as humans.

Ilwoo planned to raise his avatar’s level by doing all the work except when he was sleeping.

And most of the players who accessed Mira had similar thoughts.

A player craze was brewing in the free city of Mira.

* * *

The year has changed.

Raoul enjoyed a small New Year’s party with his guild members at the lord’s castle of Calypse Castle.

He paid generous bonuses to his subordinates who had worked hard so far and also had time to communicate with those who had joined the team.

Part of me wanted to celebrate the New Year with my family at the Earl of Ashton’s headquarters, but since I now have a lot of people to take care of myself, I made a promise to the next one.

It was after the morning after the party broke up.

Raoul was sitting in the office with Ravel, waiting for the update.

There was a time difference because the update was based on Earth, not Connect.

And after a while.

The notice I had been waiting for jumped out in front of my eyes.

Raoul stretched after reading the long notice.

The update content hasn’t changed much from when he first logged on.

‘Now it’s the real start.’

Calming his pounding heart, Raoul began preparing to greet the players.
