Title: The Online Game Begins!

“I see.”

Ren made a voice call to Miku, and it didn’t take long for the call to connect.

“Hello, can you hear me?”

Miku’s voice came through the cellphone, and her nervousness was clear.

“Yes, I can hear you.”

Gabriel quickly responded.

“That’s good.” Miku’s voice paused before continuing, “Gabriel, are you staying with Ren?”

“Yes.” Gabriel answered softly.

“Um, thank you...”

Miku wanted to say something more but was interrupted by Gabriel.

“Alright, let’s get to the point. Miku, what kind of games do you usually like to play?”

“...Anything is fine, I don’t have a particular favorite.”

Miku chose to hide her preferences and didn’t tell the truth.

“What about games you dislike?” Gabriel asked.

“Nothing in particular bothers me.”

Miku’s tone didn’t change at all.

“Then let’s play a more relaxing game.” Gabriel glanced at Ren, who had been silent, and continued.

“Good.”

In the end, through Gabriel, they chose a highly-rated cooperative multiplayer game.

“Actually, I always wanted to try this game, but since I couldn’t find anyone else, I had to postpone it for now. Now I finally have the chance to try it.”

While downloading the game, Gabriel spoke with emotion.

“I’ve heard about this game, but I couldn’t find anyone to play it with.” Miku echoed, “The main reason is that the game’s threshold is too high, and it really requires a few friends to play together.”

“Very harsh conditions.”

Ren could deeply understand the situation of being alone and friendless.

Although there was still some time left to download the game, they slowly read the operation instructions and gameplay introductions, chatting about unrelated topics from time to time.

The game wasn’t large, so it could be downloaded quickly.

They opened the game, selected the network connection, and then the game entered the character selection interface.

The core gameplay of this game is exploration and development, so character selection is still quite important.

“What should we choose? Should we match our lineup?”

Miku kept switching between selectable characters, asking for their opinions.

“Choose whatever you want, the most important thing is to be happy!”

Playing online multiplayer is about having fun, and nothing else matters.

Of course, the premise is that the online game is not a fighting game.

If you keep denying defeat, no matter how good your relationship is, you won’t be able to laugh.

“Yes, being happy is the most important thing.”

Ren agreed with Gabriel’s point of view.

“That makes sense.”

With this in mind, they successfully chose a combination of a swordsman, a mechanic, and an archer.

The swordsman was Gabriel, the mechanic was Miku, and the archer was Ren.

“Alright, the game begins.”

When they clicked start, the game’s subtitles appeared, introducing the game’s background.

The general meaning was that the world was about to be destroyed. You are the chosen brave ones, quickly save the world.

As the introductory subtitles disappeared, the three officially entered the game.

The spawn point was in the forest, and they only had the initial equipment.

“The first step is to choose a place to build a house.” Gabriel suggested, “I recommend building it by the river. I heard you can fish here, and it’s also convenient for planting vegetables and watering them.”

Yes, even though the world was about to be destroyed, as players, they could slowly carry out a series of operations such as building houses, planting vegetables, and raising fish.

This is one of the main selling points of the game, a free world with free gameplay.

“It seems you can’t raise fish by the river. You need to unlock a special fishing spot.” Miku said hesitantly, “But watering is indeed much more convenient.”

“Is it better to build a bigger house?”

Ren controlled game character to walk around casually while observing the in-game scenery.

The overall game style was cartoonish, and the colors were very soft. Even if you didn’t like it, it wouldn’t be annoying.

The operation perspective could be switched between first-person and third-person, which is convenient for players who like different perspectives.

Of course, the bigger the house, the better.

After a pause, Gabriel continued: “To build a house, you need to cut down trees first, so Miku and I will go cut trees. Kamikawa, you go explore and see if you can find a village near the spawn point or something.”

Swordsman and Mechanic were game characters very suitable for cutting trees, one relying on the initial sword, and the other using a machine equipped with skills.

It’s best for the archer to explore early in the game.

Expecting it to cut trees with a bow and arrow was somewhat unrealistic.

“No problem.”

So, they began to carry out the tasks assigned by Gabriel.

Cut trees when it’s time to cut trees, and explore when it’s time to explore.

“By the way, isn’t there any atmosphere for fooling around between us?”

After cutting trees for a while, Gabriel whispered to Ren.

“There is?”

Ren didn’t think there was a problem.

“Hahaha...”

Gabriel laughed helplessly.

She could clearly feel a gap between herself and Miku, after all, they weren’t very familiar with each other.

Even if they played online games together, they would only feel awkward and couldn’t enjoy the fun of online games at all.

It was impossible to expect Ren to liven up the atmosphere, his character was just like that.

In other words, they could only rely on themselves.

“I found a cave here, would you like to come and see it?”

After exploring the surroundings for a while, Ren found a place worth exploring.

According to the game introduction, what’s in each cave is randomly generated, there might be a lot of treasures, or there might be terrifying monsters.

Exploring caves became a main part of the adventure in this game.

“Mark the place and we’ll be there right away.”

Gabriel immediately stopped cutting the tree and said eagerly.

“Wait a minute, Ren’s gear still needs fifteen pieces of wood to make.” Miku reminded, “Gabriel, do you have it?”

“Yes, we can just go there.”

After checking the materials on her body, Gabriel threw fifteen pieces of wood to Miku.

“It’s okay now.”

After synthesizing the wood into wooden armor, Miku said confidently.

Following Ren’s marker, the two came to the cave entrance and threw the prepared equipment to him. After he put it on, Gabriel shouted: “Okay, the first expedition officially begins.”

“It feels a bit scary.”

Before entering, looking at the dark cave, Miku said anxiously.

“It’s okay, I’ll protect you.” Gabriel said seriously, “I’m the strongest swordsman.”
