MMORPG: Martial Gamer

Chapter 1556: Wang Yu Asking For Directions

The size of the land in the Korean server was much smaller than the Japanese server.

The three islands and six cities of the Japanese server were already smaller than a small portion of the Chinese server. The Korean server was only a peninsula with three main cities.

They were Starry Sky City, City of Sky and Heavenly God City.

Starry Sky City was the biggest main city among the three main cities in the Korean server. City of Sky and Heavenly God City might sound impressive but they were far from being comparable to Starry Sky City.

This was because in the background story of <<REBIRTH>>, Starry Sky City was where the God of Light died and it was also labelled as a Holy Domain. The NPC and even players of the Korean server even deemed themselves to be people of God. They had firm beliefs that the Starry Sky City was the centre of the entire game and that this piece of territory in the Korean server was the origin of life in the entire <<REBIRTH>>.

Therefore, there had always been the saying that the universe of <<REBIRTH>> originated from the Korean server.

As for whether that was true, it was up to one’s own beliefs... There were even players on the Korean server who claimed that the entire Brave Continent used to be part of the Korean server...

...

Dales was indeed one of the supreme experts in the game. Tearing voids apart was far more useful than teleportation formations as Wang Yu was instantly sent to the entrance of Starry Sky City.

In the background story, both the Immortal Island and Korean server peninsula were passed on by Brave Continent. Therefore, there wasn’t much difference in terms of the style of construction. However, as the place where the God of Light died, everything in Starry Sky City was related to the God of Light. White was the theme of the city and that made Wang Yu incredibly uncomfortable.

Using the words of Wang Yu’s hometown, “The whole city is mourning!”

After all, it was a land where the God of Light perished. It made sense.

Even though the Korean server was small, the technology of electronic games was incredibly advanced. In terms of the quality and quantity of players here, they were not any lesser or inferior compared to the Japanese server.

As the biggest main city in the Korean server, Starry Sky City had over a hundred thousand players and that was comparable to the biggest main city in the Chinese server.

This was the peak period of players so players of every job were swarming in and out of Starry Sky City/ The entire place was bustling with life.

A scene like that was no different from Twilight City.

Mixing among the crowd, Wang Yu managed to sneak into Starry Sky City.

Starry Sky City’s layout was roughly similar to Twilight City except for the fact that there was an extremely tall tower standing high in the clouds whose aura was incomparable to anything else in the city.

After entering Starry Sky City, Wang Yu was at a loss.

Anthun only told him that the God’s Glory was in Starry Sky City but did not tell him exactly where it was.

Starry Sky City’s scale was not much different from Vatican City in Brave Continent. Looking for a legendary item in such a large city with no familiar faces was essentially picking up a needle from the ocean.

It was still fine if the God’s Glory was in the city. What if it was out in the wild...

Damn it! The map out in the wild was multiple-folds greater than the main city so just how long would Wang Yu take if he had to look for it blindly?

At this point, Wang Yu finally understood what was called ‘being helpless in the face of a crisis’.

Looking for an item was not a problem which his martial arts could resolve.

Under such helpless circumstance, Wang Yu could only message Fearless to ask for advice. However, the system sent a message back to him, “I’m sorry, the user you’re trying to contact is not in the server that you’re in...”

“F*ck!!!”

Looking at the system notification, Wang Yu almost collapsed on the spot.

He had no other choice because he couldn’t simply look for it himself. The fact that he couldn’t get external help meant that the only thing he could do was to ask around.

However, he did not know anyone or any places here. Who was he supposed to ask?

Wang Yu started looking around anxiously.

Suddenly, an Assassin and Warrior were walking right towards Wang Yu with arms around each other’s shoulder.

That Warrior was tall and muscular while carrying a massive hatchet on his back while the Assassin had a crooked figure with two daggers at the legs.

When the two of them walked together, the tall looked really tall while the short looked really short. They matched the unique characteristics of their respective jobs.

The two of them had a faint light halo around them so evidently, their equipment were not weak. With a golden flower badge on their chest, Wang Yu felt that it was very familiar.

As though they could sense Wang Yu’s stares, the two of them stopped in front of Wang Yu as they stared coldly at Wang Yu in an unpleasant manner.

Nobody enjoyed being stared at while walking on the street. Moreover, the game made it easy for people to pick a fight whenever they felt offended.

“Hi there!” Wang Yu hurriedly smiled when he saw how unhappy the two of them were, “Have you guys heard of God’s Glory?”

“????”

A series of question marks appeared on their head as the two of them did not understand what Wang Yu said.

“What did you say?” For his own confirmation, that Warrior asked.

“???”

This time, Wang Yu was the dumbfounded one... F*ck! He was so busy thinking of who to ask that he had forgotten about the language barrier.

Since they couldn’t communicate, there was naturally no need for him to continue asking. Therefore, Wang Yu clasped his fists towards the two and said, “Goodbye!”

After saying that, Wang Yu walked awkwardly to the side as he attempted to find someone who knew how to speak his language in this foreign land.

Meanwhile, the two players who were stopped by Wang Yu exchanged confused glances.

...

Even though Wang Yu had played the game for such a long time, he was still considered a newbie in terms of gaming sense. He might know some of the common rules of the game but was definitely unfamiliar with the higher level rules.

However, every veteran player would know that one should always avoid asking for directions in an unfamiliar place.

It was previously mentioned about how the game was essentially a world filled with people with limited morals. After all, it was a virtual reality where going offline wouldn’t affect anyone. Therefore, the worst of people usually came out in the game.

Take asking for directions as an example. This was basically telling the other party that he was a foreigner.

In real life, foreigners tend to be discriminated against by the locals and this was even more exaggerated in a game.

Even if you’re a local, you risk getting robbed if you have good items on you. One could imagine how much worse it could be for a foreigner in an unfamiliar land? He was essentially inviting them to rob him.

Additionally, players in the game had a strong collective notion.

From the most basic guild, main city gathering and the notion of a faction showed the collective nature of players.

The sense of belonging to a guild and city might not be that serious but it became extremely obvious between factions.

The system also encouraged such a sense of belonging. When players of different factions killed each other, they wouldn’t be punished and instead, given rewards. Therefore, players have always had this immense repulsion against foreigners.
