He felt a deep sarcasm, and his heart became desolate. Since it is probably not safe to go back in a short time, he simply walked aimlessly down the street, with the strange lights and shadows around him and the shops that have treated him again. There is no half interest.
"Hey, Brother Yi, Brother Yi." A person's voice yelled in his ear, sounding far away. Yi Xuan turned his head in a dazed manner, looking at the guy with the mask, beckoning to him in a ghostly manner. .
"It's you?" Yi Xuan instinctively took two steps in the direction of the businessman, and suddenly his heart moved. Since this guy can shuttle back and forth between the real world and the game world, then he should at least know the truth of some things, right? Thinking of this, Yi Xuan's heart suddenly jumped wildly. A trace of fanatical excitement appeared on his still blank face just now, and he walked quickly towards the businessman in two steps in three steps.
The businessman didn't seem to notice what was wrong with Yi Xuan's face. Now Yi Xuan is like a moving money bag in his eyes, so he smiled and said, "Aha, long time no see. How about it? I want to buy some today. What? I have..."
Bang, Yi Xuan had already arrived at this time. In front of the businessman, as if afraid that he would run away, he suddenly grabbed his neck by the collar.
"Hey hey, what are you doing, what are you doing?" The businessman said in a panic. "I said, Brother Yi, although the price of the card I gave you was a bit high last time, they are all good things." The businessman explained hurriedly.
Because of being too nervous, Yi Xuan grasped the businessman's hand and trembled slightly, and couldn't control what the businessman said. Yi Xuan whispered, "I ask you, do you know that the real world is a game." His voice A bit rough because of being too excited.
"Huh?" The businessman was obviously taken aback by Yi Xuan's question. He raised his head and glanced at him strangely. Only then did he find that Yi Xuan's face was very ugly, knowing that he was not joking.
"Oh, brother Yi, what's the matter with you? Why are you staring at me with a dead face." The businessman immediately slapped up haha, but didn't answer Yi Xuan's question.
"Stop talking about these useless things, I ask you, did you know it a long time ago?" Firstly, Yi Xuan was excited at this time, and secondly, he also knew that there was no future in dealing with the businessman, a very slick guy. It might as well be straightforward.
Sure enough, the businessman seemed a little embarrassed when he heard Yi Xuan say this, so he said with a grimace, ""What are you talking about? I do not understand. "What he said was really lacking. Yi Xuan could tell that he was lying at a glance. It seemed that he couldn't say it directly because of something. However, Yi Xuan was really impatient at this time, and the strength in his hand increased. After a few minutes, he immediately raised the merchant: "I tell you, don't pretend to be garlic with me, don't think you have loaded the power of the serpent, I can do nothing about you, you know that I have defeated a Zhao Beifeng who has the power of the serpent. NS. "Yi Xuan gritted his teeth, looking like that, it seems that if the businessman doesn't tell him the truth, he will immediately kill him.
"Ah, why should I say it." The businessman wanted to say something, but Yi Xuan didn't want to go around. He spoke quickly and said: "I tell you, even if you don't tell me, I already know that the world we live in is the same as this world, which is a data world. That's why we can learn those abilities from the arcade of death. So we can use these so-called summoning cards.” Yi Xuan said as he drew a few cards from the merchant’s arms and threw them aside. These things, which seemed to her to be extremely precious, now became a piece of paper. not worth.
"Hey, don't throw anything." The businessman looked at the cards distressedly and dropped to the ground, and then said angrily: "Yes, you are right, you are right, let me down."
These seemingly angry words from the businessman, like a big rock, immediately weighed on Yi Xuan's heart. It was so, and he didn't expect it to be so. It was further confirmed, and the little hope that remained in his heart disappeared. NS.
The businessman broke free of his restraint, and immediately picked up the card on the ground with pampering, and gently blew off the dust on it, and said a little angrily: "Well, you know what's the use, instead of what it used to be. Ignorance is Fu, how good, now that you know, it will only increase the distress in your heart. "
"Is that true?" Yi Xuan murmured. Although it has been confirmed now, but because of the previous foreshadowing, he is not as difficult to accept at this time as before. After sorting out his emotions, he asked the businessman. Said: "Tell me, what the hell is going on?"
Now that the businessman has admitted Yi Xuan's problem, he naturally no longer hides it. Put the card into a pair of pockets and tugged the somewhat untidy military coat that was dragged by Yi Xuan. Then he sighed and said, "Okay, let me tell you about it. Tell me about my origins. I have my experience in this game world, but to be honest, I don’t think it’s useful to tell it to you, and it won’t change the current situation at all."
Although the businessman said so, he continued: "Actually, I don’t know what the facts are. What I tell you is based on my life’s observations and the information I have learned. First, let’s talk about our lives. The world of is indeed a game world, and the real world has actually reached the twenty-sixth century. Based on the existing technology, the development of science and technology in these hundreds of years has been rapid, and many high-tech products have appeared. This kind of game played is one of them. Because artificial intelligence is very developed in the 26th century, humans hardly need to do too much labor. Most of the time is used for entertainment, so the game is also an unprecedented development at this time. , And the real world we live in is actually a retro online game, simulating the scene of the early 20th century."
"Why is it the beginning of the 20th century?" Yi Xuan asked strangely.
The businessman shrugged, "What's weird? If you choose the 19th century, do you still wonder why it is the 19th world? But as far as I know, it's mainly because the 20th century is a bit of a bit for people in the 26th century. Similar to the significance of the Renaissance to us, to them, our era was a turbulent and bizarre era. In the 26th century, the 20th century was a very important era, just like the Second World War in our history. For the people of the century, the 20th century was very attractive, so they made such a game."
"Game? But... Are there players in the game? Why don't I think?" Yi Xuan still doesn't quite understand. Since it is a simulated real world, what do those players want to play in the game
"Of course there is, and there are still a lot of them." The businessman said amusedly.
"But what do these players do in our world? Are they also fighting monsters and upgrading? Our world does not have any monsters, and it is an age of peace" Yi Xuan asked strangely. In his opinion, war is the eternal theme of the game. .
"Hahaha." The businessman smiled, seeming to feel ridiculous at what Yi Xuan said.
"Of course not, because online games in the 26th century were very developed, and the types of games are naturally very diverse. The world we live in is called Earth OL, which is a historical simulation game, so there is no upgrade of these things. , Players can experience life in the early 20th century in this game. They can become merchants, stars, explorers and various occupations, because they have the superhuman knowledge of the 26th century, and some of the system gives Preferential treatment, after all, they are players, so they can achieve very high achievements in our world, much higher than what they could achieve in the real world in the 26th century, in order to obtain a great sense of accomplishment, also That is to say, many writers, celebrities and even high-ranking political officials in our world are actually played by players. In addition, our world, although we consider it to be the real world, is actually a low-level fantasy game world, that is It is said that in our world, there are indeed things like ghosts and gods. Of course, these things are generally only accessible to players, and we ordinary people cannot see them."
Hearing what the businessman said, Yi Xuan suddenly remembered the werewolves he had seen in the hospital. He felt strange at the time. How could there be werewolves in the real world, but now it seems not so difficult to explain. It seems that those werewolves The werewolf may also be the player.
The businessman looked at Yi Xuan's expression of uncertainties, as if he was thinking about something, and said casually: "Okay, I have finished talking about everything, how about it? There is nothing to ask, right?"
Yi Xuan turned around from his thoughts and shook his head silently.
"Then let me ask now, knowing the truth, do you have any plans next?"
Yi Xuan took a breath, shook his head silently, and suddenly asked curiously: "How did you plan in the first place?"
"Me? Haha." The businessman said, "I am different from you. When I knew the truth, I already had the ability to shuttle between our world and this game world, so I rely on this ability to earn money. Some gold coins, you should also understand by now. These gold coins are actually composed of data. Their advantage is that they can provide longevity and also allow me to improve my strength. Even if I make a virtual program, I must also make a stronger virtual one. Procedure." The businessman's appearance is not without pride.
"Shuttle... How did you do it? Can I go back to our world?" Yi Xuan asked him eagerly when he heard him say that the businessman's idea could be a way of life.
"Um... I'm afraid this won't work. Even if you want to go back, you have to go through trials."
"Trial?" If the businessman didn't say it, Yi Xuan would have almost forgotten this vocabulary. At first, he was so obsessed with it. As long as he passed the trial, he could return to the real world and possess all the abilities. How attractive it is, but when you know that your world is fictitious, the so-called trial, the so-called return, does not seem to be that important. This will hear the businessman mention this again, Yi Xuan asked strangely: "What is the content of the trial? Did you pass it? Why do I always think there is a problem with this trial? You said, if we really pass it After the trial system, we have returned to our world. Then we have become extremely powerful in our world, what would the players in that world think."
The expression on the businessman's face was a little bit of a smile, and Yi Xuan immediately noticed his weirdness, and a terrible thought flashed through his heart: "That trial is a trap at all, isn't it?"
The businessman nodded and sighed: "Almost. To be precise, the trial is actually a server restart of the game. Generally speaking, this kind of game will release some large tasks at the end of the version as an end, for example, At the end of the last version, the event launched was the arrival of natural disasters. Countless undead and monsters descended into this world to fight with players and NPCs. The battle lasted for seven days and seven nights. In the end, players and NPCs all died before the game entered. The next version, and no one knows the task that enters the server restart at the end of this version, but in short it should be a similar task.
When Yi Xuan heard this, he felt a numb scalp, endless monsters, and finally all died in battle. This kind of result was not what he wanted.
"Is there no way to leave alive?"
The businessman shook his head, "I haven't heard of any NPC that can leave alive, except me."
"So how did you leave alive in the first place?"
"My situation is actually an accident, caused by system data disorder and a hacker's reckless behavior on a whim. I don't know the specific situation, and it is basically impossible to replicate the situation like mine. I can only follow it like this. You say, okay, I have said everything that should be said, and if you ask again, I will not say anything. If you want to listen to my advice, my advice is that in the next year, You live a good life and try to improve your strength. If you are strong enough, you may be able to pass the next trial, but to be honest, even if you pass the trial, you may not be able to return to the real world. You may be transferred to In other games, or continue to serve as NPC in this game."
"What?" Yi Xuan was not even prepared for the ending that the businessman said, and wanted to ask again, but the businessman seemed to be determined and stopped talking, and immediately shook his head like a rattle: "I said, brother, Think about it, don’t force me, I know so much, and I can give you so many suggestions. It seems that you can’t buy a card today, so don’t delay my business." Just a bombarding posture.
"Damn it!" Yi Xuan cursed in his heart, but he knew what the businessman said was reasonable, and for such a big thing, he came too eagerly and too quickly, so he didn't have time to sort it out. It seemed that it was time to think about himself. Yi Xuan took two steps to sit down on the side of the road and began to think about the information he had obtained, and also began to think about his future.
In any case, one thing is certain, Yi Xuan does not want to die in endless battles, and he is not used to living in this world at present. If he can live, he still hopes to return to the world he is familiar with, although that The world is a game world, but at least you have your own parents and friends, you can get a lot of emotional support, and the people there have their own thoughts, and most of the NPCs here can only say a few words. But it's different.
