【--whether--】

In the southern part of Moldavia, in a small single-family villa, Priest stayed in his room. He sat on the bed, rubbed his chin in doubt, and stared at the 'yes/no' mentally. ' button.

"Why do I feel that this choice has no deep meaning..."

"Priest, what are you doing?"

While Priest was talking to himself, on the other side, Sur, who was using magic power to hold a sprinkler to water all kinds of magic plants and ordinary potted plants at home, happened to pass by Priest's room. The girl looked through the wall with some doubts: "I will go home and sleep in the afternoon. You are going to compete in the arena. Are you too tired?"

Sur was also an X-year-old elf before his death (the age of the girl is a secret), and his strength was also high-level silver. After death, after being transformed into a ghost, it is because he can directly touch the elements, and his magic power control has been strengthened.

As for the arena she mentioned, it is a well-known public competition arena located in the outer east city area. Students from the College of Winterhold often rent it out to resolve personal grievances or compete in competitions. Naturally, some mercenaries will go there in their leisure time. While practicing his hands, so as not to be unfamiliar with his skills after a long period of unemployment, Priest is also a frequent visitor there.

"No, some other things, Su Er, you should be busy first - and next time don't go through the wall casually, I also want privacy."

"Slightly slightly~"

Hearing Priest's answer, the elf girl stuck out her tongue and made a grimace, then slowly retracted her head into the wall. After being interrupted by the other party this time, Priest also made a decision, he shrugged and said to himself Said: "Forget it, looking at it like this, it should be something new that the teacher has created recently, and it shouldn't be harmful."

In front of the card bar, after discovering this novelty in the mental terminal, Priest directly decided to go home and study what this "full-dive game" called Continent of Discord was. After a lot of cumbersome mental tests, he is also qualified to enter the internal test server.

Anyway, if you have more time, try it first, if it's not fun, at worst, stop playing.

Thinking of this, Priest simply clicked 'Yes' in the mental space.

However, the moment Priest's spirit touched the 'yes' button, he felt an incomparably huge force coming across the magic net, completely covering his spirit.

Immediately afterwards, darkness fell, and all the colors in the spiritual terminal space faded away, leaving only the bloody icon floating in the void, the shattered long sword and wand intersecting in front of the broken shield, and the metal chains were constantly rotating, Bringing up the black fire burning like a sin.

A deep male voice that Priest was very familiar with sounded beside his ear.

"Welcome to the Continent of Disputes."

As soon as the words fell, a super-powerful hypnotic circle from a certain spiritual master who did not want to be named was activated, and Priest simply and neatly fell into the "deep dive" mode.

...

When Priest woke up and realized that he had entered the so-called deep dive mode, when he started the game, the darkness around him had disappeared, and what appeared around him was a blue sea.

Above the sea, the sun was scorching hot, there were no clouds in the sky, and there were no islands or waves on the sea. He could easily see the end of the horizon... and a silver menu floating in front of his eyes.

[Before starting the game, please set the character first]

Since he often visits forums on the spiritual terminal and does magic net shopping, Priest is no stranger to things like menus and setting characters—it’s just a pinch of the face, who would use his true face to trade on the magic net? ——And this game called Continent of Disputes actually provides a face pinching function!

This immediately made Priest have a good impression of him before he started playing. After admiring the beauty of the sea for a while, he decided to make himself a little handsome this time, lest his sister and Sur always Tucao made me feel like a chaotic monster, and it made people unable to eat.

However, after a few seconds, Priest frowned and growled, "What the hell is this?"

Is this considered character setting? !

It can be seen that what appeared on the screen in front of Priest’s eyes did not have the virtual character settings that are common in various forums and exchanges—in fact, there was basically nothing on it, only a small point that was insignificant, so if you don’t take it seriously Even tiny dots that are completely invisible.

Even if Priest zooms in, he can only see a small dot and its subtle and complex structures... If it is an ordinary person, he must be confused at this time, but because there are still some people in the team Because of Alchemist, a team member who loves biology, Priest can barely see that this little dot is not a simple dot, but a 'cell' in a certain sense.

The so-called character setting is nothing more than determining what type of cell this is.

"Carbon-based...amino...silicon-based...huh, there are subdivisions? Plant-based and biological-based, or a mixture of the two?"

Frowning, Priest scrolled through the menu. He suddenly felt that this setting was quite interesting, especially when the young warrior found that the structure and introduction of these 'cells' seemed to have something to say, as if they really existed. : "Wait, there are elemental creatures? The natural rune aggregates of the fire element, and the entanglement of spiritual fluctuations?!"

Seeing this, Priest couldn't help being taken aback—because he had taken tutoring under Earl Radcliffe, he knew that elemental creatures actually have their own structure, just like flesh and blood creatures such as human elves, rather than A simple group of energy bodies with souls, and the structures named 'Natural Rune Aggregation' and 'Psychic Fluctuation Entanglement' are cells similar to flesh and blood life, and are the most basic life structure of elemental and psionic life .

Being able to choose so many types of 'cells' immediately made Priest curious. With his experience in many battles and explorations of many other worlds, he can certainly see that these structures are not nonsense, they are all true. So even Priest doesn't know how Continent of Discord should be played at all, and he began to look forward to it: "In this case, I will choose a 'cell' that I am most familiar with... a flesh and blood life."

After clicking confirm, there were still some options to choose the appearance, set the talent ability, choose the place of birth and difficulty, etc., but Priest, who was quite curious about the game content, no longer had the patience to set it one by one. Quickly click 'Random All', then select 'Play' on the silver menu.

[Setting is complete, randomization is started... Randomization is complete: Carbon-based life forms, adapted to the continental world, natural ability is 'element affinity', and the difficulty of the copy is 'medium']

[Random racial name 'element-friendly cell body', start loading novice copy...]

After choosing to start, Priest immediately fell into the weird darkness at the beginning, and in the darkness, the originally extremely tiny 'cells' began to grow bigger and bigger, and then just like that, engulfed Priest Sturt, and then a jump, submerged in the sea.

And before the 'cell' completely engulfed Priest, he saw the last flashing paragraph in the silver menu.

[The first stage: spores]
