4. Chapter 4 What Year?

As Vice Captain Carter led the team back to the vast village on the Naihemiya plain, the group finally arrived at their destination.

The sight of the scene also made Roddy, who was dizzy because of the drunkenness, instantly had a cold war.

"Noran Village".

Roddy looked at the wooden sign at the entrance of the village and sat in a daze on the horse's back, forgot to dismount for a moment.

"Lodi?"

Deputy Captain Carter led the horse to the stable and turned around and asked. The latter swallowed hard, turned over and dismounted with a stiff movement, and limped over and followed.

Like all villages on the border of the Karen Kingdom, "Nolan Village" is not large in size, with only three or four dirty streets in total. As a territory of a typical feudal dynasty, Nolan Village has a manor, which belongs to Lord Kirk. Around the manor, surrounded by farmhouses and fields, with a population of only 200, there is a blacksmith shop and a simple small square. The largest building should be the windmill mill next to the river. At this time, the farmer had returned to the village, and the huge fan blades no longer rotated in the sunset. The atmosphere here is peaceful and quiet. Occasionally, you can hear dogs barking and chicken crowing in the village. After the farm work, the farmers were talking about various topics. Everything seemed to be the appearance of a normal village.

Nolan Village has no walls or any protection facilities, and there are no permanent troops. However, because it is in a special position on the border, the highest lord Duke Russiflon made an exception to set up two permanent reconnaissance teams here. The original lord Kirk of the manor here basically only once a year, so the biggest leader of the village is the steward who sent the lord to guard the manor - just because the scout team belongs to the Duke's direct army, the steward basically cannot manage the team where Roddy was at this time.

It was getting late, and the deputy captain of the scout, Carter disbanded the team and walked towards the room of the commander of the two teams, Lieutenant Soding, because of the drunkenness, Roddy followed several "comrades" to the shed where the soldiers at the entrance of the village were having a meal together.

He was a little floating, unable to tell whether it was because of the wound or the sip of strong wine. Roddy rubbed his eyes several times, but still felt like he was in a dream - because he gradually realized an important issue that had been ignored before...

Everything that my body feels seems to be a bit too real.

The villagers in their sight were dressed simply, and on the dirt roads that ran across the village, there were occasionally herders driving the flocks of sheep passing by, children playing with mud on the ground, and blacksmith shops were jingling, and in the setting sun, smoke rose from the chimneys of the farmhouse... Everything seemed to him that there were not so many realistic details in the game.

Walking all the way into the simple "canteen", Roddy sat on the wooden bench and listened to the "comrades" beside him who should be NPCs talking about the battle that took place today. He looked at everything in front of him with complicated eyes, and an irresistible panic arose in his heart...

What's going on?

There are many questions in his heart - what he wants to know most now is... why does he seem to have entered a place that seems to exist in reality?

What about the game server? What about the menu? What about the game option?

For a modern person who had previously thought about whether he would go to McDonald's tonight, it would be unrealistic to suddenly come to such a world without being confused.

“Exit the game…”

He began to try the voice commands of "Riding the Earth". As a holographic online game, Roddy would rather believe that this was a bug replay of the game, but as the command to exit the game failed, his mood gradually became sank.

“…This won’t work.”

“It’s not okay to force down the line…?”

"Are you wrong..."

The scouts eating beside him looked at Roddy muttering and saying something they couldn't understand, and their eyes seemed a little strange, but Roddy obviously had no time to pay attention to them, and was still lowering her head as if a mage was chanting a spell...

None of the instructions took effect. Roddy pursed her lips tightly and thought for a long time. Finally, she decided to make her last attempt - he no longer used Chinese, but said in Bolinga:

"People Attributes Panel."

"Damn!"

The scout who was holding a bowl of soup on the side squirted a table because of his exclamation - Roddy apologized to the other party in a hurry, then sat back to the place, looking forward with excitement and surprise.

He looked at the clear attribute list and immediately realized that this was a replay bug in "Riding Earth". He was happy to call out the "Exit Game" option, but his face was full of expectations, but his face was frozen on his face in the next moment.

Or not?!

The chill in his heart gradually spread, and Roddy immediately began various attempts, listing almost all the menus that could be called out, including the taskbar, equipment bar, character attribute bar, etc., but he could not find the "main menu" to exit the game!

The thought that I was still uncertain about once again surfaced - was it... I was not in the game world, but was really in the real world?

After taking a deep breath several times, Roddy suddenly remembered a way to confirm whether he was in the game. Although all the food in "Rabber" can be eaten, it never brings taste stimulation. Just as drinking will not cause drunkenness, the food will never taste, because the holographic simulation technology simply cannot meet this requirement, and the game company has never done any unnecessary research in this regard...

He lowered his head, looked at the black unfermented bread in front of him, swallowed, and broke a piece of it slightly solemnly.

Looking at the bread slags falling on the table, Roddy's heart had actually sunk to the bottom, because there was no such real physical effect in the game - but he still nervously stuffed the bread into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

Sour, bitter, dry. The taste of black bread is 10,000 times worse than the toasts Roddy bought in the supermarket, but the bad taste of bread is a bit insignificant compared to the fact it proves...

At this point, he finally began to realize that he might never be able to return to his original life.

This is the real world, I actually traveled to the same real world as "Riding"?!

Forced himself to chew the bread like a nerve. Roddy was stunned for a few minutes, and then began to try to adapt to the current facts.

When a technician rarely has feelings, Roddy will not be as confused as a woman to recover for several days. After thinking about it, he decided to read his attributes again.

Then... he sighed heavily.

The panels filled with titles and various numbers are now empty, as if they were sweeping across the street, and there was a basic occupation name of [League Soldier] hanging alone. The "level 1" behind it looked like the middle finger raised by the goddess of fate at him, making his lips tremble for no reason.

Below is a row of attributes:

Power: 13(+3)

Agility: 8(+1)

Spirit: 6(+1)

Physical constitution: 9(+3)

Intelligence: 5(+1)

The attributes in the brackets are the growth value brought by the basic profession of [League Soldier]. The [League Soldier], known as the first choice of human physics profession, was also Roddy's original choice, so he is no stranger to this profession. The attributes in the game cannot be allocated by themselves. Each upgrade is automatically increased and decreased according to the profession characteristics, so he doesn't care about these. As long as the level is raised, everything will be easy to say.

He just had these thoughts in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny - can he upgrade in the real world?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the experience column - his expression suddenly became very exciting. The 159 experience obtained by killing the orc was clearly displayed there.

After laughing helplessly, Roddy temporarily accepted this ridiculous world. Then he began to think about his battle today - after thinking about it, he actually had a lot of experience. After all, Nolan Village at this time was probably the same as Nolan Village in the later "novice Village" period. At that time, who dared to trouble the orcs at level 1? He was killed in the wild and killed wolves, ran errands in the village to send a letter, and caught a few rabbits. Yesterday, I encountered the orc reconnaissance troops, but they were all level 2-4. For junior players, such enemies were very troubled, because they were in groups and occasionally there were wolves to help them. It was usually a disaster to meet them.

Roddy looked at it and needed 300 experience to reach the second level. At this time, there was still 141, which was half over. He exhaled the character equipment bars - head, neck, shoulders, chest, arms, wrist guards, belts, legs, feet, special ornaments, rings, and left and right weapons. A total of fourteen equipment bars appeared in front of him at a glance.

Of course, it's basically empty.

Including the two ring bars, a total of 14 positions is enough to see the importance of "equipment" to gamers. In the late stage of the game, there are often situations where the attributes attached to a piece of equipment are more than ten times the attributes of the characters themselves. The "high play" in the game are all powerful players with top-quality equipment.

Roddy believed that he was not inferior to anyone. If he hadn't switched to PVP later than others, he would have probably already entered the top of the first tier. However, looking at the equipment bar, he still sighed melancholy - a ragged white-character equipment with no attributes at all, and a short sword with no attack power that made him the same as a passerby in NPC. There was an ornament on the neck indicating "equipped".

Roddy didn't look at it carefully, just thinking that this was an ordinary chain, because there were no equipment-attached attributes in the attribute bar.

Thinking of the Orc Ox Horn Bow that was confiscated yesterday, Roddy was in a better mood and exhaled out of the attribute bar and looked at his blood volume - 72/90. He actually felt strangely tight in his heart, but he shook his head. He also knew that there was no "blood bottle" or herbs to speed up the recovery of blood in this place.

Turning off these options, Roddy's eyes turned back to her eyes and couldn't help but start thinking about her current situation.

This is Nolan Village...Nolan Village...

His brows became tighter and tighter, and he recalled his own impression of his experience in the game in a tangled way - wasn't Nolan Village completely destroyed by orcs long ago? Before Roddy traveled here, it had long become a supply station in the orc enemy-occupied area. How could there be humans?!

Not only Nolan Village, but in Roddy's career in "The Rift" game, the orcs who infiltrated and raided from the northwest almost encroached on the entire western territory of the Karen Kingdom... This is inevitable connection with the incompetence of the Russiflon family and the backboneless royal family. The city of Hollier, as the base camp of the Russiflon family, has long become a bridgehead for the orcs to invade the Karen Kingdom...

The unknown environment made Roddy even more irritable. He tried to calm down his rapid breathing, got up and walked to the pool next to the shed to wash his face, but was completely stunned when he reached out to touch the water surface.

A strange face was reflected in Qingshui's reflection. Roddy swore that he would definitely not forget what he looked like, but at this moment... he really understood where something was wrong.

I seemed to have become another person, and came to this strange game world, and I was still alive at a strange time!

Not far away, several scouts who had previously disdained Roddy were obviously in awe after experiencing what happened today. Seeing him staring at the water basin in a daze, they didn't dare to say anything ridiculous, but then these scouts gradually realized the strange atmosphere-

Because Roddy actually stared at the pool for five minutes.

"Low...Low?"

"kindness?"

Roddy, who was awakened, suddenly raised her head, and her confused gaze gradually regained the focus. He looked at the scout who asked out loud and said in a daze: "What day is today?"

This sentence is very strange, which made the scout who was about to answer the question stunned for a moment. He originally wanted to say whether the other party was stupid, but when he thought of Roddy's performance today, he still answered cautiously: "April 10th."

“Which year?”

This question made the other soldiers in this simple shed turn back. The fact that several scouts died today made the atmosphere here very dull, but Rody's question obviously made some people funny. The captain of a team of scouts Ruger cursed and replied: "Did you guys fall off your horse and fall stupid today? I don't know that in that year?"

The contemptuous tone proved that he didn't take Roddy seriously at all. The surviving scouts of the second team had much better attitude. After swallowing, he answered honestly: "This year is the 588th year of Elon Calendar."
