Forces of Temptation

Chapter 10: Rust are all (a)

Before he finished speaking, a translucent game panel appeared in front of Nan Zhou.

He stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and found that the game panel was not a real thing, but a virtual panel floating directly on the retina, and no major movements were required. Just a slight slide of the finger could call out the panel and close the page. , using props and a series of operations.

On the left side of the panel, is a thriving tree of life logo.

Lush rhizomes and leaves extend outwards, hugging the main page on the right.

The shape of the canopy is very similar to the human brain.

Nan Zhou tried to touch the canopy with his fingertips, and thousands of golden stardust fell from the treetops, like fireflies living among the treetops.

The most eye-catching positions on the main page are the character's name, character photo, and the character attribute bar that has not yet been fully loaded.

There are force attributes, intelligence attributes, contribution attributes, san value attributes, and some strange skill attributes, including stealing, healing, taunting, cooking, forging, labor, and more.

There is a list of friends in the upper right corner. After clicking on it, it is not unexpectedly empty 0.

In the lower left corner is the store. There are not many things you can buy in it. Most of the things are gray, representing three words full of ridicule:

-"can not afford".

In the lower right corner is the task log. After clicking it, you can see that the progress of the trial level has been completed 100.

Sandwiched between the shop and quest log icons is the item slot.

There are currently three open grids, and the other five grids are gray and have not been opened yet.

In this environment, where other people can see the contents of the panel, they get out of the car in surprise.

Even Jiang Fang just glanced at it quickly and waited beside Nan Zhou.

However, Nan Zhou's curiosity was unbelievably strong. With a little poking, he read through all the gray and bright products, and studied almost every corner of the panel.

He even made sure that if he clicked the leaves frequently and frequently, he would get any hidden rewards.

Therefore, Jiang Fang and Nan Zhou were the last two to go down.

The Steel Rabbit noticed Nan Zhou and the handcuffed hands at a glance.

Its ears pricked up: "You two, a couple?"

Nan Zhou remembered Jiang Fang's scorpion braid, which probably caused a misunderstanding, so he explained to the rabbit seriously: "He is a man."

At this time, Jiang Fang's emotions seemed to be completely adjusted.

He kept a perfect smile and nodded to the rabbit: "Well, yes, I am."

Nan Zhou: "… "

Although Jiang Fang's answer didn't seem to be wrong, he always felt something strange.

The rabbit's question was also answered, his ears drooped and swayed, making a sour crunching sound of steel rubbing: "Do you need to untie it?"

… it refers to the two bracelets.

Nan Zhou was about to raise his hand when he heard Jiang Fang say, "Thank you, no need."

Nan Zhou: "?"

Jiang Fang's hand pinched on the bracelet, groping for a little bit, and with a little force, the bracelet on his wrist easily dented a gap.

Nan Zhou: "...?"

"'Tomorrow Ring'." Jiang Fang weighed the unbuttoned bracelet in the palm of his hand, "It's the simplest magic prop."

Nan Zhou's own bracelet is thin and narrow without any gaps, so it was a little difficult to put it on at first.

And Jiang Fang's bracelet is a little thinner than his.

When the two bracelets are nested together, they squeeze out each other's escape space.

… That’s why Nan Zhou gave up trying to take off the bracelet and wanted to wait until the finish line.

When Nan Zhou padded his wrists with the sleeves of his windbreaker and took off his bracelet rustlingly, Jiang Fang briefly explained:

"Our two bracelets happen to be a pair. Yours is a real ring, and mine is a fake one."

"The fake ring is made of neodymium magnets in one place, and the color is exactly the same as the silver ring itself."

"When there is a strong impact, as long as the angle is almost the same, the two bracelets will be nested together, and the principle of magnetism will also automatically restore the broken bracelet to its original state."

While speaking, Nan Zhou had successfully removed the bracelet.

He rubbed his wrist and asked, "You know, why didn't you say it?"

Jiang Fang put his hands behind his back and smiled, "Because I thought you would find out."

... Of course, he never mentioned the fact that he had used his thumb to cover the magnetic suction port of his wristband.

Magic props, after all, still have to rely on magic techniques to cooperate.

Jiang Fang handed him his bracelet: "Well, this is a pair, let's give it to you as a souvenir."

Nan Zhou's eyes were fixed on the bracelet, and he nodded curiously: "... um."

Others: "..." With such a lively mind and such a cold face, it was surprisingly easy to coax.

Everyone stood there, bewilderedly waiting for Rabbit's next instructions.

Steel Rabbit Pickup saw that everyone had gathered, so he jumped and walked in a certain direction.

Without instructions, no one dared to move.

With the instructions, some people are even more afraid to move.

When they hesitated, Jiang Fang and Nan Zhou had already followed the rabbit.

… they have nowhere else to go now anyway.

So after crossing a gravel road and making another turn, they saw a square before everyone else.

The setting sun was like melted butter, and the ochre light was like oil paint, smearing the sky unevenly and unevenly.

The plaza is huge.

On the east side is a large shopping mall. The three-story ring building extends all the way to the southeast, and the floor space is immeasurable.

As far as the west side can see, there are restaurants, bookstores, movie theaters, and even a few scattered hotels.

The lush shades of trees cover the cobblestone walkway.

Directly in front of the crowd is a pool of first-class craftsmanship, with a white marble sculpture in the shape of a giant tree carved in the center, and a circle of fountain heads set up in the surrounding open space.

Probably because it was not yet on the hour, the fountain had not started yet.

ap;--gt;gt;

nbsp; In addition, the most important thing is the people who travel through it.

For a time, they seemed to have returned to society under normal order.

... If it wasn't for this iron rabbit, who looked like a sci-fi, standing beside them.

Li Yinhang was dumbfounded: "...This is... the Rust Capital of "Gravity"?"

Nan Zhou looked at her.

"Rust City", one of the player's birth points in the game "Gravity".

Because of its closeness to the real city, the game planner named it "Rust City".

- Excessive prosperity is the embroidery of the city and the rust of nature.

Zhao Guanglu, who has no experience in games, asked eagerly, "What is this "Gravity"?"

Wu Yukai obviously has more say in this.

He simply summed it up: "It's a holographic online game. It's crazy hot and cool."

About a year and a half ago, the world-sharing and open interactive communication game "Gravity" developed by the "Tree of Life" company was officially launched after a half-year trial period.

Their selling point is a physics engine that is completely close to reality, a near-perfect ecosystem, and a game copy world with a high degree of freedom to explore.

To play the game, a complete set of interactive equipment must be purchased, including a full-face helmet VR with modifiable visual and auditory neurofeedback, bio-tactile gloves, waist control gear, and a humanoid bio-pod.

One machine and one yard are expensive, and a set of basic equipment runs to six figures.

Take Li Yinhang as an example. She is a bank clerk. Her biggest goal in life is to get rid of orders and buy a small house in the southern district of Shiyuan. She cannot afford a high-end electronic luxury such as "Gravity".

However, the publicity of "Gravity" is overwhelming, including the concept map of "Rust City", and she has brushed it on the headlines many times.

When it first launched, the game almost sold like crazy.

Because it is so delicious.

According to Li Yinhang's memory, this game is suitable for all ages.

Movie theaters can be used to watch movies, and the library keeps growing.

There are hundreds of millions of books in the bookstore, and you can enjoy reading with headphones, flipping books by hand, and a completely quiet reading environment.

Even the central pool in the "Rust City" spawn point is a wishing pool.

Toss a coin of 10 points and make a wish, the wish has a certain probability to come true.

Either a high-level weapon, or a rare feature card.

Of course, the most popular of "Gravity" is the original copy exploration design, supplemented by various novels, comics and other literary products.

Players can enter the dungeons of various settings such as supernatural, magic, cold weapons, zombies, plagues, etc., complete tasks, exchange various props, and achieve character upgrades.

The dungeon system is the most direct and effective way for players to upgrade, and it is also the main module of Gravity.

However, if the player is biased towards Buddhism and is too lazy to fight and kill, he can occupy a piece of land and play management games.

Seeds in the store are cheaper than battle props. If you buy some farming tools with krypton gold and consume a little physical strength, you can open up a farm of your own and cultivate and plant according to the system time.

Factory infrastructure can also start with the purchase of a simple textile machine.

Whether it is to be a big farmer or to open a textile factory, each has its own way of playing.

There are also players who climbed to the top of the overall standings by meticulous management.

"Gravity" is the only game project of the "Tree of Life" company.

Their ambitions to set foot in the unknown field of holographic online games are evident.

And the finished products they launched are also worthy of their ambitions.

…until a serious accident three months ago.

When Wu Yukai said this, Nan Zhou suddenly interrupted his narration.

He said: "That is to say, everything in this game, if you want to get it, you have to redeem it with points?"

Before Wu Yukai could say "nonsense", he suddenly felt a suffocation and dizziness.

The oxygen around him was suddenly swept away.

In no time, his lips turned a hypoxic blue-purple.

Looking at the pained expressions of everyone, Pika grinned mysteriously with his steel three-flap mouth open.

"Your 20-minute oxygen experience pack has expired."

"Please exchange your points for oxygen in time."

But when it looked at Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang, it saw that they both looked as usual and breathed smoothly.

Nan Zhou even thought of turning back and reminding Li Yinhang, who was clutching his throat and couldn't breathe: "Open the seventh page of the store. 10 points can be exchanged for 1 hour of breathing time."

Li Yinhang tried his best to hold his breath, shaking his hands to exchange, but there was still a moment of hesitation.

... She also embraced a hint of the stubbornness of the poor.

Nan Zhou saw through her thoughts and persuaded: "Change, there is no more cost-effective way to exchange. Even if you buy 100 times in a row, you will not be given a discount of 1 point."

Pickup: "… "

Every time it receives a new person, it likes this part the most.

The newcomer suddenly finds that he has lost the ability to breathe, so he is full of ugliness and tears in fear and panic, which is the most pleasing picture.

… it feels like its routine pleasures have been forcibly deprived of these two.

It held back its sullen breath: "You guys, what's going on?"

Did they know that the oxygen would disappear, so they exchanged it in advance

Jiang Fang smiled slightly: "That's it. We thought that the three 'ghost' players might have something useful on them, so we tried to put their corpses in the item slot."

Pickup: "… "Grass.

Nan Zhou: "Well, it's useful. They should still have oxygen in their backpacks."

After speaking, he looked around at the strange eyes cast around him, and asked curiously, "Is there anything wrong with this?"

Pickup: "… "

Others who exchanged respiratory equipment: "… "

Only perverts will carry three head mushrooms on their bodies, right? ! :,
