In the scorching summer, Bai Duan, who never likes to sweat, rarely goes out in the sun, because he turned eighteen today, and he can finally take his own optical brain to unlock the world's most popular The game warehouse of the online game "Myriad Realms" is gone.
"Myriad Worlds" is the first holographic game. It has attracted widespread attention from the whole people as soon as it appeared. Both old people and children love it. Fighting PK, but because it can simulate 90% of human senses and bring the most realistic experience to players, as well as the beautiful and pleasing natural scenery in the game.
In this era of highly developed science and technology, human beings have already developed their own living space to every corner of the earth, and correspondingly, the natural space has decreased sharply.
Nowadays, no matter where you go, you can see towering skyscrapers, cobweb-like roads, and suspended vehicles passing around. As for the places where you can enjoy the natural scenery, there are only a few places that are strictly managed by the state. nature reserve.
Of course, the nature reserve is also open to tourists, but in order to protect the animals and plants in it to the greatest extent, tourists who intend to visit must make a reservation long in advance, and the management department will The number of tourists, appointment time and tourist credit are used to select guests who can enter the reserve.
This is a very complicated and cumbersome set of procedures, and it takes a very long time, ranging from a few months to a few years. If you are in line, you may not have time to go. It is really an indescribable experience.
Due to people's desire for natural scenery, the game "Myriad Realms" was widely sought after when it debuted, attracting the attention of the whole society. The only problem is that it is too real, and sometimes it even makes players confuse the gap between virtual and reality, and even caused several tragedies because of this.
Therefore, after a series of consultations and discussions, the game "Myriad Realms" adopted restrictions on the player group. First, it limited the online time of the players and urged them to contact the real world while playing the game; Adults enter the game after the age of eight. After all, children are innocent and are most likely to be affected by games and addicted to them.
Bai Duan is not really interested in games, but he likes nature very much.
When he was young, he was lucky enough to visit the nature reserve with his family. The first time he got off the bus, he was captured by the lush greenery in his eyes and the fragrance of grass and trees in his nose. They have been trying to submit an appointment application again, but because he has already had a tour experience, and the management department is more inclined to choose tourists who have never visited before, so Bai Duan never got a second chance.
Therefore, when "Myriad Worlds" appeared, he immediately entered the game with great interest, and got his wish to see the lush vegetation all over the mountains and plains again.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Not long after, "Myriad Realms" issued a restriction order, and Bai Duan, who was underage at that time, was kicked out of the game. Only when he really became an adult could he bring his own optical brain to "Myriad Realms". 》Game service point, re-unlock your own game warehouse.
In order to wait for this day, Bai Duan was hopeless, and immediately rushed to the game service point as soon as he became an adult, hoping to return to "Myriad Realms" as soon as possible.
Obviously, there are not many young people who have the same thoughts as Bai Duan.
The service point was full of bustling young people, and one could tell at a glance that they were all the same age as Bai Duan. They were either excited or impatient, and while lining up in front of the window, they whispered their desire and curiosity about "Myriad Worlds".
Bai Duan wiped the sweat from his head, and walked to the end of the line. Soon, many people lined up behind him one after another. It's not complicated, so the team moves faster.
Bai Duan is shy and not good at talking to strangers. He didn't join the other young people's conversations, but stood quietly in the line alone. Immediately, he seemed to sense a rather focused gaze staring at him, and he couldn't help turning his head to look at the owner of the gaze.
— That's a fat man. He was wearing a T-shirt of the largest size, and his whole body was as round as a meatball. His facial features were squeezed together by piles of fat, and he couldn't see clearly at all—although it wasn't ugly, it was really hard to make people feel anything. Good impression.
Meeting Bai Duan's eyes, the fat man visibly flinched, and turned his head away in a panic. And Bai Duan, because of her beautiful appearance, has long been used to the feeling of being noticed by others, so she doesn't care about it, and also casually looks away.
Fatty came earlier than Bai Duan, and quickly achieved his goal and left the service point, while Bai Duan continued to wait for a while.
Walking to the window, Bai Duan scanned the optical computer on the machine in front of him. The staff checked his various information, unlocked the game compartment of "Myriad Realms" for him, and wished him a happy game with a smile.
Bai Duan couldn't help showing a slight smile, thanked her happily, and hurried home, but didn't want to go to the gate of the community, and ran into that fat man again.
Fatty and Bai Duan entered the same building, and they stood in front of the elevator and waited together. He seemed to want to start a conversation with Bai Duan. Somehow, Bai Duan felt a kind of... inexplicable pity.
Therefore, Bai Duan, who never talked to strangers, took the initiative to speak for the first time: "Do you live here too? I haven't seen you before."
—Well, a fat man of this tonnage will never forget once he sees it.
The fat man obviously didn't expect Bai Duan to speak on his own initiative. He was startled, the fat on his body trembled, and he stammered and nodded in response: "Mmm, yes, yes, I just moved here..."
Bai Duan raised his eyebrows, a little surprised that the fat man's voice was quite nice, deep, smooth, and a little seductive: "Really? Which floor do you live in?"
"1604..." the fat man replied softly.
"Huh? Are you my neighbor?" Bai Duan was a little surprised, "You were the one who moved in two days ago? My name is Bai Duan, how about you?"
"Xie Yan." The fat man moved the flesh on his face, as if he wanted to force a smile, but he probably knew that his appearance was not very good-looking, so he quickly gave up such an attempt, and lowered his head in frustration.
For some reason, seeing Xie Yan like this, Bai Duan always wanted to laugh. He walked into the opened elevator door together with Xie Yan, tilted his head and asked, "Are you eighteen years old too? I saw you go to "Myriad Realms" to unlock the game room today?"
"I... I'm twenty years old this year." Xie Yan shook his head, "Today I'm not going to unlock the game compartment, but... to buy it again." After finishing speaking, he paused, and explained awkwardly, "The previous... broken."
Bai Duan was a little surprised.
The game warehouse of "Myriad Realms" has always been guaranteed in quality, and it will not be easily damaged. Even if it is broken, as long as the player is not at fault, "Myriad Realms" company will come to repair it for free. But Xie Yan actually needs to buy the game room again, which means... the game room has definitely been irreparably damaged, and this should probably not be an accident.
Realizing that there might be some secret hidden in it, Bai Duan didn't continue to ask. After all, he and Xie Yan had just met, so it's not appropriate to exchange shallow words.
The speed of the elevator was very fast, and the two of them stopped on the sixteenth floor without exchanging a few words. Bai Duan and Xie Yan got out of the elevator, turned a corner, and arrived home.
Standing in front of the door of 1603, Bai Duan waved: "I'm here, I'm going to play games first."
"Okay." Xie Yan nodded, he seemed to want to say something, but in the end he still didn't say anything, turned around and opened his door silently.
Bai Duan murmured "weird guy" in a low voice, and then forgot Xie Yan, so excited that he ran to the game room that had been dusty for a long time and was just moved out and cleaned up last night, full of interest I have to lie down.
After successfully entering the game, Bai Duan looked at the character he created when he was a child, and really felt as if he had passed away. His character is Yaozu, and the prototype is about a fox with pointed white ears on top of his head and a big fluffy white tail behind his buttocks.
Bai Duan remembered that the race he wanted to choose at first was human beings, but for some reason, after entering the space for character creation, he was completely attracted by the big wagging tail of the fox monster clan, and he couldn't resist it at all. have to fall quickly.
Since then, Bai Duan's favorite thing to do in "Myriad Worlds", besides playing around and admiring the natural scenery, is to play with his big tail, which makes Bai Duan's parents laugh every time they see him, and talk about himself Really gave birth to a little fox, there is no sense of disobedience.
—However, Bai Duan actually doesn’t like the species of fox very much. He always feels that he should not be a fox, but he can’t tell what else it should be besides a fox...
Recalling the situation when she was taken by her parents to play in games when she was a child, Bai Duan couldn't help but start to miss her parents again.
When he was fifteen years old, his parents were dispatched to other planets for scientific research and development work. Since then, they seldom come back. Only during the holidays do they have time to communicate with Bai Duan and chat with each other situation.
For more than three years, Bai Duan has already gotten used to living alone. He has no worries about food and clothing, and lives affluently. Even if he encounters any problems, his parents' company will send people to help solve them, but Bai Duan still misses himself very much. parents, sometimes feel alone.
Thinking of the time spent with her parents, Bai Duan felt a little depressed and lost the mood to play games.
He manipulated the character to run around in the forest where the fox clan lived, familiarized himself with the operation, and logged out of the game when he felt hungry—anyway, he still has countless hours to spend in the game in the future, and he is not in a hurry.
Climbing out of the game cabin, Bai Duan rubbed his stomach, and walked into the kitchen resentfully.
Although he has lived alone for three years, Bai Duan still has no cooking skills. He either orders takeaway or simply disposes of the convenience food he bought.
Opening the refrigerator, Bai Duan pondered for a moment, and took out a bowl of instant noodles.
To be honest, he doesn't like to eat this kind of convenience food very much. Although the cooking method is simple, the taste is simple and easy to get tired of eating.
Sighing, Bai Dun, who didn't have much appetite, held the instant noodles with a bitter face, and began to miss his mother's cooking skills again.
After thinking about it for a long time, Bai Duan finally aroused his interest in eating. He took out his chopsticks, and before he could pick up the noodles, he heard someone knocking on the door.
Bai Duan frowned—he didn't have many friends, let alone the kind of friends who could come to the door at will without prior notice. Although he wondered who it was, he still put down his chopsticks and walked to the door.
Opening the door, before Bai Duan could see who the visitor was, he was dazed for a while by the tangy smell of food.
With difficulty, he moved his eyes away from the lunch box in front of him, raised his head slightly, and looked at Xie Yan, who had a nervous expression, his eyes suddenly burst into dazzling brilliance.
