RNP Chapter 3: Children, I am your king
Chapter 3: Children, I am your king
Blue Star.
Zhao Xiaotian took the cardboard box from the courier, went inside, and skillfully used a knife to open it, revealing the contents.
"Holy crap? Delivered that fast?"
It looks like a motorcycle helmet, covered in padding, and is mainly white, giving it a cool vibe. It's supposed to be a virtual helmet that can connect to games.
Zhao Xiaotian nodded secretly. To be honest, just looking at the appearance, he had already given it a perfect score of seven out of ten.
With the helmet tucked under his arm, Zhao Xiaotian unfolded the instruction manual with one hand and slipped on his slippers as he returned to his room.
Lying in bed, following the instructions, Zhao Xiaotian put on the virtual reality headset:
"Once ready, pull down the connection panel..."
Zhao Xiaotian did as he was told, pulling down what he thought was the motorcycle's dashboard, instantly covering his entire face with the helmet.
At this point, Zhao Xiaotian had begun to feel a sense of anticipation.
"Holy crap, can it really be true?"
"Holy shit!" A sudden flash of light appeared inside the virtual reality headset, and Zhao Xiaotian, caught off guard, blurted out a curse.
Since Aegon the Conqueror crossed the sea and forged the Seven Kingdoms beneath the Iron Throne, the Targaryen dynasty's dragon banner has protected Westeros for over three hundred years...
The seven gods have forsaken my prince Rhaegar... The traitor Baratheon stole my throne and enslaved my people...
Loyal ministers are few and far between, and the path to benevolent rule is elusive...
Blood and fire share the same origin....
[O warrior loyal to the King, you don armor and wield weapons, you raise the dragon banner of the Targaryen dynasty, you have traveled thousands of miles, you have crossed the sea to rise up and take on this responsibility, all to serve the great "Restorer" King Viserys III, and to serve the Targaryen dynasty on the battlefield...]
A giant dragon swooped down from the sky, spewing dragonfire and easily crushing an army. The knight known as the Dawn Swordsman, wielding a steel sword, fought five against one, unstoppable. The fearless knight charged into the enemy ranks alone.
A sorcerer blessed by the God of Light casts fire magic, and a messenger who believes in the true god brings people back to life.
The animated transitions captivated Zhao Xiaotian.
This game seems pretty good?
As the storm swept over the fleet, the cutscene disappeared, and a familiar glare flashed, causing Zhao Xiaotian to unconsciously close his eyes.
"Heh~"
Zhao Xiaotian slowly opened his eyes. The ancient altar that came into view was as vast and empty as space, leaving him unable to recover for a long time.
"My goodness, is this for real?!"
Dear player, please enter your game name.
As Zhao Xiaotian tentatively touched the ancient altar in front of him, the icy touch shocked him. At the same time, a line of large characters floating on the altar also caught his attention.
"I'm serious about hiding in the grass." As a seasoned name-challenged person, Zhao Xiaotian didn't plan to dwell too much on the name and directly submitted the online name that had accompanied him for many years of gaming.

【Medical practitioner......】
There are no fewer than thirty professions, but Zhao Xiaotian, who focuses on combat, is only suitable for players who specialize in killing and fighting. Professions below the lord level are basically irrelevant to him.
"I choose the professional warrior!" Zhao Xiaotian, who considered himself to be lacking in skill, decisively chose the reckless style after looking at all the classes.
"Class selection complete. Players, please begin character customization."
Half an hour later...
"Damn it! Terrible review! What the hell?! I spent half an hour painstakingly creating a high-quality female goblin, and you're telling me to redo it?!"
Twenty minutes later...
Dissatisfied with the character creation system, Zhao Xiaotian created a medieval-style white male character and then proceeded to the next step of the process following the prompts.
"I'm serious about players camping in the grass. My initial stats are:"
Level: One
Strength: 10+ (2)
Physical condition: 7
Agility: 7
Perception: 6
Insight: 5
Willpower: 5
Overall military strength: 24.
After adding the two strength points after choosing the warrior route, Zhao Xiaotian, who was ready, saw another burst of light before his eyes.
"Damn, the game is so realistic, why did they have to use a flashbang? Couldn't they just jump right into the game?"
The second time he was flashed, the guy squatting in the grass cursed and went to another world.
"Holy shit, holy shit!"
This was the first thing Zhao Xiaotian, who had transformed into the "grass-squatting guy," said when he opened his eyes and saw the world.
"Damn, I know you're excited, but hold on, your yell almost killed me!"
Still reeling from the real blue sky and white clouds, Zhao Xiaotian turned his head blankly in response to the sound.
A player with black hair, wearing tattered clothes, carrying a one-handed sword, and whose ID was displayed above his head as "High and Low Tastes Salty" walked towards him.
"Uh, I thought I was the only one who knew about this game." Crouching Grass Bro was even more shocked. It turned out that there were other people playing this game besides him.
"Damn, that's something new. But I've never seen your ID before. Did one of the guys in the group change their name? You can't be just a random player who got lured in by that crappy website, can you?"
Player Xian Dan looked at another player whose initial equipment was a longsword, just like his own, and patted the other player on the shoulder:
"You chose a warrior too? Good eye! A medieval-themed game like this wouldn't be complete without warrior players like us. Real men just charge in!"
"Oh, my friend is in the game's operations department, he recommended me to this game." Zhao Xiaotian, the guy who squats on the grass, rubbed his head, marveling at the realistic touch while looking around with great interest.
"Operations? Wait, is your friend's username 'Tank Rearview Mirror'? We're in the same group, and he's the one who got me in!"
"Ha, that's quite a coincidence."
"Holy crap! This earth is truly vast! This sky is truly blue! This dog is truly amazing!"
As the two were awkwardly chatting, another earth-shattering "Holy crap!" came from behind them.
The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw a short man dressed in black licking the ground with his tongue.
"Lemon, stay away from him!"
Although Viserys' rented house was relatively remote, it wasn't a deserted area. The player's strange behavior naturally frightened passersby, who hurriedly kept their distance.
"Holy crap, are these NPCs really that intelligent?"
"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"
The dwarf stood up, revealing a gleaming short knife at his waist.
"Calling a mouse a duck! If we're not brothers, how can you act like a rat?" Player Xian Dan recognized the player's identity by seeing the ID above the other player's head and walked over.
"What do you mean, 'coward'? We're an assassin team, don't you understand?" Zhishuweiya, with an extremely lewd face, approached the two of them.
"Wow!"
"It's not a movie?! Where's my Calabash Brothers?!"
Two more exclamations rang out as the player "Mantou Xianren" (Steamed Bun Immortal), who had chosen the blacksmith profession, and the player "Sister-in-law I" (Sister-in-law I), who had chosen the scout profession, emerged. Each of them held a one-handed sword, their initial equipment, and gasped for air like country bumpkins visiting the Grand View Garden.
"Ugh~"
"Why does it smell so bad!"
"I'll do it in the slums!"
The two men, with their nostrils flared, were instantly overwhelmed by the overwhelming stench, comparable to the Ganges River, causing their eyes to roll back in their head.
"Cough cough~"
"It seems you've already adapted to the game environment to some extent."
