"If you were given a new life in a parallel world, what would you do with it?"
In the darkness, a magnetic voice whispered softly in my ear.
call…
It seemed to be the sound of wind, and it seemed to be human breathing. Then the darkness gradually became brighter, and a first-person perspective image emerged from the darkness, as if someone slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing a sky covered with dark clouds, the man raised his hand, rubbed his eyes, and then struggled to sit up.
As the sight turned, what came into view was a dilapidated city under the cover of dark clouds.
This city is built very strangely. There are many old thatched huts on both sides of the streets, but behind these huts, there are tall buildings that are staggered next to each other, just like modern residential areas.
"Unfortunately, you were reborn in a dark and turbulent era..."
In my ears, the magnetic male voice continued to state, without any ups and downs in his voice, "Maybe you are a thief, maybe a farmer, maybe a bard..."
Immediately, the sight in front of him suddenly shook, and then slowly rose up, as if the owner of the sight stood up from the ground.
Then, he looked around, and the camera immediately showed the entire surrounding area. It was a muddy and dirty street, and the ground was extremely filthy. At this time, several pedestrians in ragged clothes and sallow faces were walking by, but they faced The owner of the sight is indifferent.
"When you wake up from the darkness, the first thing you have to do is nothing else but to find ways to adapt to this body..."
The male voice continued to speak calmly. As he spoke, the screen shook again. It seemed that the owner of the sight staggered a few steps before regaining his balance.
A low orchestral sound played slowly along with cello music, but the tone was as gray and desperate as the city in front of him, and the owner of the sight began to stagger towards the nearest medical station.
Immediately, the screen went dark, but the BGM gradually increased...
"This is an era when human life is as cheap as paper, this is an era of chaos and turmoil, this is an era of declining civilization..."
The man's voice was gradually filled with inexplicable emotions, and the next second the screen flashed again, showing a monster as huge as a mountain standing in the sky!
This monster has an extremely large body, its upper body is like an inverted triangle, and its lower body is filled with grape-like spikes.
"Ouch!"
The blood-filled mouth of the monster's chest opened suddenly, and a roar that shook the world came from the horizon, and the sound waves were visible to the naked eye!
"An ancient evil god that enslaved mankind. It destroyed the palace of our civilization and brought mankind from glory to doom... "
Then, the screen flashed again, and another weird church appeared on the screen. This time the picture was not in the first person, but in the conventional third person.
Only the weird divine patterns and symbols on the church can be seen flickering in light and dark, as well as the more retro medieval buildings near the church.
"Most of the human race lowered their arrogant heads, surrendered to the evil gods of old, and regarded themselves as their dependents..."
With these words, the camera switched again, switching to a picture of a bomber that looked dilapidated. The bomber was seen flying over the city, and then dropped rusty iron barrels one after another. .
"boom!"
"Boom boom boom!"
A series of fireballs rose from below the city, and the fighter jet turned and flew towards the sky.
"However, there is still a group of people who are unwilling to admit defeat. They have been fighting for the past four hundred years and are unwilling to lower their noble heads..."
The voice continued, "United Resistance Forces... Holy Fusion Empire... Who can define the destiny of mankind?"
At this time, the BGM became completely exciting, as if hundreds of people were singing angrily at the same time!
As the sound became more intense, the video pictures began to flash rapidly. Each picture was a scene - some were farmers plowing wheat fields, some were thieves walking in a busy city, and some were three or five people in a bar. Strong men fighting with each other...
Immediately, the screen flashed faster and faster, and more and more grandiose pictures began to appear. Some were soldiers in armor from two sides fighting bloody battles in the wilderness, some were black-robed rangers slaughtering soldiers in dark alleys, and some were assembly line factories spewing out weapons. With yellow bullets...
"When technology and divine authority are in conflict, when gunpowder and magic attack each other, when death and rebirth begin to sing..."
Buzz!
At this moment, the BGM finally came to an end, and as the end, a louder and louder horn began to sound, and then stopped abruptly!
“What can you do in this sinking time?”
"All you can do is try to survive...that's all."
The man's voice gradually lowered, and finally there was only a low echo, like an ember slowly extinguishing.
Immediately, the three-minute video ended completely.
"I...fuck..."
In a university dormitory, a fat man wearing a black T-shirt slowly took off the V.5 visual impact helmet on his head. He leaned on the sofa and did not recover for a long time.
There was only shock in his eyes.
"How about Mike, isn't this game trailer exciting enough?"
The roommate on the side said excitedly, his eyes flashing like hungry wolves, "Can you believe it? Blackwatch Company claims that this video is a real machine demonstration, which means that as long as we enter the game, what we see is This picture quality!”
"Is this still a game? I believe you when you say this is a movie!"
Little Fatty Mike jumped up and said, "What are you waiting for? When will this game be released? How much will it cost? What kind of gaming helmet do you need? I'll prepare it now!"
"etc!"
The roommate immediately laughed bitterly after hearing this. He grabbed the little fat man who was about to move and said, "How can it be released now? The game trailer has just been released today. If you want to enter the internal beta stage, you have to wait for a month."
"What, it will take another month for the internal beta to start?"
When the little fat man heard this, his face suddenly fell, and he collapsed on the sofa, as if he were mourning for a concubine. "Wouldn't it be impossible? It would take at least three months from the private beta to the public beta, right?"
"Nonsense, I doubt it will last three months, at least half a year!"
As the roommate spoke, he suddenly raised his right hand and pressed lightly on the watch-like device on his wrist. Then a translucent web page popped up and floated above the watch.
"Blackwatch's official website says that this game is called "Old Civilizations" and it is a cross-generational 3S masterpiece. It will be tested internally on the 1st of next month. At that time, 100,000 accounts will be randomly distributed around the world, and at the same time, Matching game equipment will be provided for free!”
"What?"
The little fat man's eyes nearly popped out when he heard this, "100,000 game equipment, giveaway? The highest-configuration game helmet on the market now can reach 100,000 US dollars. This game is so real, how can the supporting game equipment be less than One hundred thousand dollars? Does that mean they plan to give away tens of billions of dollars worth of gaming helmets at once?”
"After all, this is Blackwatch Company. This amount of money is probably nothing to them..."
The roommate's focus was obviously not on this. After he saw this promotional video, he immediately informed his roommate. Only then did he have the mood to read the text description under the video. When he saw it, his eyes It's also getting brighter.
According to the above, this game called "Old Civilizations" will use the latest gaming equipment developed by Blackwatch Company. It is not a gaming helmet or a V-series visual impact chair, but a more high-end Equipment—Game Warehouse!
“It’s actually the ultimate gaming device in online novels—a virtual reality gaming cabin?”
The little fat man on the side also leaned his head. When he saw this explanation, all the fat in his body trembled suddenly, showing an expression of disbelief, "I'm not dreaming, am I?"
"As expected, he is indeed Blackwatch!"
The roommates on the side were also scratching their heads excitedly, "More than ten years ago when we were still in elementary school, Blackwatch Company was the first to launch a virtual reality helmet and a visual impact seat. Many media were speculating that Blackwatch Company was very popular. The game warehouse is about to be invented, but there has been no news for more than ten years. I thought this company had exhausted its talent, but I didn’t expect that more than ten years later, the game warehouse actually appeared!”
"This is holding back the ultimate move!"
The little fat man looked up to the sky and laughed three times, then urged, "Pull it down quickly, pull it down quickly, see what else is said below?"
Hearing this, the roommate used his consciousness to control the screen to continue moving down. "The game warehouse is currently equipped with constant temperature facilities, immersion facilities, and life support facilities. It can monitor the user's vital signs. After the user enters the game, he can fully Immersed in the game, even if there is an abnormal physiological reaction due to excitement after entering the game, the game cabin can maintain the user's vital signs and automatically dial the emergency call!"
"This technology..."
The little fat man and his roommate couldn't help but look at each other, but they were a little strange. Could playing a game scare someone into something crazy
Immediately, they continued to scroll down, only to see that there was a background introduction to the game below.
"What! The background of this game is in the 24th century of the earth?"
"What! In this game, in the 21st century, mankind encountered an old evil god? After a cataclysm, mankind was divided into two camps?"
"What! Under the combined resistance forces in the 24th century, in addition to the forces in the four continents, there is also a fifth force called Black Light City?"
Little Fatty Mike couldn't help shouting, "Smuggling private goods, this is... It makes me laugh. Blackwatch Company actually put themselves into the game, and set themselves up to be the fifth largest player on the same level as the four continents." Resistance forces…”
"But according to the description, there are two major camps in human beings. The United Resistance Army is just one of them, and the other is the Holy Fusion Empire that joined the old evil gods?"
The roommate looked thoughtful, "Blackwatch Company is really stubborn. This 'fusion' is clearly the 'fusion virus' epidemic more than ten years ago, right? It was that epidemic that gave birth to the emergence of human society. Countless psykers have now been magically modified by Blackwatch Corporation to demonize the epidemic into an evil god?"
"It looks like this is it..."
The little fat man nodded, but didn't react much. "It's nothing. I think it's okay. After all, Blackwatch Company also played a big role in the epidemic."
The two of them were discussing more and more, wishing they could play this game right away. After all, according to the description, this game has the world's first physics engine that 100% restores reality. As long as a man is able to gallop on the battlefield, There is no dream that is not exciting, especially in this era when the virtual reality industry is extremely developed.
The conversation between the two was just a microcosm of the tens of billions of people on earth. At this time, on the Internet, with the release of the game trailer of "The Evil Gods of the Past", the whole world was plunged into exclamations like a landslide and tsunami...
[What? A 3S-level virtual reality masterpiece? 100% immersive simulation? The world's first cross-generational online game?]
[Following the V-series virtual reality helmets and impact chairs, has Blackwatch finally taken action on conceptual things like game warehouses?]
[Am I dreaming? I have been waiting for this kind of game warehouse that can be 100% immersive to appear. God bless, it actually appeared in my lifetime, and the completion level was so high as soon as it appeared!]
[Blackwatch, God forever!]
[Why do we have to wait a month? Why still have a closed beta? I'm not convinced! I want to play "Old Evil". I will die without a game to play!]
While countless people exclaimed, there were naturally just as many objections, and most of these people opposed it because this game turned out to be an online game.
[This is an online game, so that’s okay. Say goodbye. I’m a noble stand-alone player!]
[Isn’t Blackwatch Company afraid of overturning? With so many boasts, I would have believed it if it was a stand-alone game, but this game is actually an online game? So don’t think about it, online games are always about ten years behind stand-alone games, whether it’s picture quality or plot]
[Stop talking upstairs, you can figure out so much just by watching a promotional video? What happened to online games? When has Blackwatch Company ever disappointed?]
[Is there no money to build the Dyson Cloud? You actually came up with an online game to cheat money? Black Light: Use Xin to create happiness, but if you don’t have money, you will be paralyzed!]
[Stop arguing, I believe in Blackwatch. If you don’t believe that an online game can produce a high-quality product, then wait until the game comes out. Anyway, 100,000 devices will be given away during the first batch of closed beta tests. Is it better then? Let’s take a good look!]
In addition to the voices of support and opposition, there are also many voices of doubt. The point of these people's doubts is that the promotional video is too exaggerated and does not look like a game at all. Instead, it looks like it was shot directly with high-definition equipment.
Others have questioned the safety of the game warehouse, believing that this kind of full-body immersion will harm the mental health of players. In particular, the game also sets a dark and bloody era background, so battles and conflicts are almost inevitable.
And according to the bloody scenes in Blackwatch's urinals, they must be very real. If minors play this game, won't it damage the values of minors
Countless people held different opinions, and the situation was turbulent for a while, and the entire network became a battlefield...
