The countdown numbers are ticking away second by second.
Will he hit the "Download" button again, like he did a year ago
What are you thinking
Of course he will.
Cleopatra VII said she was envious of his life, what was she envious of
Envious of his round-the-clock work
Do you envy him that he managed to surpass food and clothing and go to a well-off life financially
Do you envy him that he is single without a girlfriend and can spend a lot of time freely
No, that's not what she envied.
What she envied was that, as an ordinary person, his life was not as ordinary as ordinary people, and he was occasionally involved in exciting adventures.
This is the ideal life she envies and longs for.
So why should he refuse
If he refuses this opportunity, he will only be left with an ordinary life. Although it may be a little more fun than a real ordinary person, it is far from enough. It is difficult to adapt to eating rough tea and light rice.
After rejecting this opportunity, he will continue to repeat the day-to-day work in the future, content to watch the balance in the bank card gradually increase. In the future, there may be a girl who will marry him and have children...
In this kind of life, even if you don't have the ability to predict the future, you can see the end of your life at a glance.
The vast majority of ordinary people are experiencing such a life, some people are ordinary and happy, some people are ordinary and unfortunate, there is nothing to complain about, because there is no choice.
Now, the power to choose was before him.
Even knowing that pressing this button will bring thrills and surprises to his life, he still can't refuse, maybe because he already likes the feeling of racing heart.
He seems to have free will, he seems to have countless futures to choose from, but he will only choose this future, this is the established destiny.
Break the unchanging routine, make life full of surprises, and keep looking forward to the future.
Move your finger to the "Download" button and click it.
Judging from the experience of a year ago, it seems that it may be too late, but...
It can only be said that it really deserves to be a 5G mobile phone
The download progress bar instantly changed from 0 to 100%.
So much faster than his old 4g phone where it went.
He lamented the convenience brought by technological progress to life, and clicked "Install".
The installation speed of the app is also much faster than that of the old phone, which he has already experienced just now.
The installation is complete, between "OK" and "Open", he clicks "OK".
The phone screen automatically returned to the interface of the software market. He obviously did not search again, but the search result became 0. No matching results were found. The software market recommended some other apps with similar names.
Turning off the useless software market, he saw the icon of "Pet Hunter" on the screen - he didn't recognize it at first glance, because the icon was different from before.
Click on the icon.
The game starts.
[Game Tips]: This game is an AR real-scene game, you need to turn on your mobile phone camera and obtain your location information.
[Game Tips]: If this is your first time entering the game, please register an account for free.
[Game Tips]: "Register for free" or "Already have an account, log in now".
Which one to choose? Is there even a question
In theory, his previous account has been canceled and recycled, so of course he can only choose "free registration".
[Game Tips]: In order to confirm the uniqueness of the user and login security, we need you to register your fingerprint. Please place your finger on the fingerprint recognition area of your phone and follow the prompts to register from multiple angles.
He knew last year that the game does not use the phone's default unlock fingerprint, but needs to be entered separately.
Last year, he entered the fingerprints of his left hand, but this year he chose the fingerprints of his right hand.
The new mobile phone is unlocked by screen fingerprint, which is much more powerful than the old mobile phone.
[Game Tips]: Fingerprint entry is successful, and automatic login is in progress...
In the black background as deep as the night sky, a bright white light group danced lightly.
[Navigation Wizard]: Hello! Welcome to the world of pet hunters! I am your navigation wizard!
Hearing the familiar welcome words, he smiled knowingly—it was still a familiar recipe, and it was still a familiar taste.
[Navigation Wizard]: During the whole game, I will do my best to help you as much as I can! May we experience a magnificent adventure together!
Now, when he heard the voice of the navigation elf, he was no longer so frightened that he almost threw his phone out like a year ago.
[Navigation Wizard]: If you encounter any problems in the game, you can contact me at any time!
The interface in the game has been revised to adapt to the most popular full-screen mobile phones now. It looks more refined and has a sense of technology and future, but it is still essentially a change.
So…
He tried to ask: "How does this game play? It looks very interesting."
[Navigation Wizard]: Since you are logging into the game for the first time, do you want to experience the novice tutorial before the official game? Or you can choose to skip the tutorial and start the game directly.
Sure enough, since it was a new phone and a new fingerprint, did the game recognize him as a new player
"Okay, let's start with the novice tutorial." He said.
[Navigation Wizard]: Beginner tutorial, reading data...
The improvement of mobile phone performance is all-round, and even the loading speed of novice tutorials has improved by leaps and bounds.
[Navigation Fairy]: This game allows you to capture real or virtual pets, and even fairies from the heavens and the earth can become your loyal partners!
[Game tips]: Beginner tutorial: Capture a real pet.
[Game Tips]: The name of this game is "Pet Hunter", version number 2.0. The pets to be caught in the novice tutorial are limited to regular pets, such as cats, dogs, ornamental fish, ornamental birds, etc. Catching animals such as ants and cockroaches will not be able to complete the task.
[Game Tips]: Turning on the rear camera...
The novice tutorial is exactly the same as before, and there is no need to change this kind of basic entry.
He will not try to get away with taking pictures of pets on the computer screen like he did a year ago. Anyway, there are so many pets in the store, just take a picture of any one.
Just then Vladimir came running back, as dirty as ever, full of dust and blades of grass.
"I was so busy fighting with that stupid dog that I almost forgot about business." It squatted at the door of the store and muttered to itself.
Zhang Zian wondered what was going on, and then, three stray cats jumped down from the wall and the branches of the tree. They were black cats with missing ears, cats with soft ears, and white short-haired cats. They sat in front of Vladimir in an arc. , while yelling and gesturing to it.
"The epidemic in the western theater has been brought under control!"
"The epidemic in the southern theater has been brought under control!"
"The epidemic in the northern theater has been brought under control!"
He couldn't understand what they were expressing, so he could only guess that it was probably reporting like this.
Vladimir nodded in satisfaction, then looked around again, "Where is Daju? Why hasn't Daju come yet?"
A cat meowed in the distance.
Zhang Zian, Vladimir, and the stray cats followed Shengsheng, and saw a fat, big orange cat that could absolutely crush the bed, running towards this side with great effort.
There is a reason for this orange cat to arrive late. Other stray cats are always taking shortcuts, but it is on foot.
It does its best, but speed is not its forte.
Vladimir and the three stray cats took the initiative to find it, which saved time than waiting.
They were about to move, but the orange cat suddenly disappeared.
"Meow... Where's Daju? Did Daju fall into the drain? Why did it disappear in the blink of an eye?" Vladimir rubbed his eyes, but he still didn't see Daju.
The three stray cats were also horrified.
"Don't panic, it's here."
Zhang Zian said behind them.
They turned around and saw Daju unexpectedly appearing in the pet shop, looking around in bewilderment.
"What... what's going on here?" Vladimir's eyes widened in shock.
"Tsk tsk." Zhang Zi'an played with the new phone contentedly, "Amazing, the telephoto lens of the new phone can take high-definition uncensored photos from such a distance and in such dark conditions... It's worth the money! "
[Navigation Wizard]: Congratulations! reach the goal!
[Game Tips]: Capture! Orange earth cat!
That's right, on a whim just now, he saw Daju running slowly this way, so he tried to switch his phone to the telephoto lens and took a picture of it.
Originally, he just wanted to give it a try and didn't hold much hope, but he succeeded. He successfully captured the big orange, made it disappear from the spot, and then released it in the store.
After listening to his explanation, Vladimir exclaimed: "It can still be like this? Damn it, science and technology are really the primary productive forces!"
Zhang Zian couldn't agree more. The camera capability of the new mobile phone has made great progress compared to the old mobile phone. This improvement also makes it easier to capture pets.
[Navigation Wizard]: Your novice tutorial has been completed. As a reward, you will get a chance to draw a lottery.
Zhang Zian pretended to be surprised: "Eh? Can we still draw prizes?"
[Navigation Wizard]: Yes. This is the only chance to draw a lottery during the game, and it is only awarded to players who have completed the novice tutorial, and there will be no more chances to draw a lottery after that. So please cherish it.
It wasn't his style to turn away free stuff that came to his door.
"Okay, then I want to draw a lottery now and try my luck." He said.
[Navigation Wizard]: Start the lottery draw.
An oversized grid appeared on the screen of the mobile phone. The large grid was divided into countless small grids, scattered like a Go board, and a pet's head could be vaguely seen in each small grid.
Zhang Zian glanced briefly, and noticed that the heads of several pets seemed to be elves he had seen in the machine dream.
[Navigation Wizard]: You only need to say "Start", and the game will traverse the entire database. When you say "Stop", the position where the cursor stays is the pet you have drawn.
The routine is very familiar, but he is still quite looking forward to what kind of elf he can draw.
"Go!" he said.
The cursor moves between different cells at a very fast speed, left and right, up and down, without any rules.
When do you call stop
At some point, Xinghai was already squatting beside his hand, staring intently at the phone screen with his silver-gray eyes wide open.
There seemed to be countless stars twinkling in its eyes, and the cursor was reflected in its eyes, like a bright meteor flying among the stars.
Where the meteor goes, the star seems to be detonated into a supernova, bursting out a dazzling light enough to illuminate the darkness of the universe.
"Stop!" Zhang Zian said.
The cursor stopped.
"What did I draw?"
The navigator, who answered fluently, was unexpectedly silent for a few seconds.
[Navigation Wizard]: Sorry! Just now I thought that this elf does not exist in the database, but after repeated confirmation, this elf does exist.
Zhang Zian was stunned, what the hell
[Navigation Wizard]: Congratulations! You have won the "Mystery Worm"!
[Game Tips]: The pet "Mysterious Worm" has been added to your elf pet list, and you can check it at any time.
A fat, white worm resembling Hibiscus's wicked snack worm gummy appeared in his elf pet list.
Zhang Zian's brain short-circuited for a moment.
No way
He tried clicking on the worm in the elf pets bar.
[Game Tips]: Pet Attributes
[Common name]: mysterious worm
[Rarity]: Unknown
[Features]: The name of loving the public goes down to the universe, who can be equal in a thousand years!
[Origin]: Unlocked
[real name]: not unlocked
I see…
He finally figured it out.
He had been wondering before, since the game had ceased operation, how did the girl who claimed to be from the future get this worm in the future
In addition, how can we capture this kind of elf that can travel through time and space
The answer is already in front of us.
This elf was not caught, but was drawn by a lottery. From the infinite probability close to zero, from the vast database, it was extremely lucky.
"Xinghai, thank you." He simply expressed his gratitude, because in the face of luck that could eclipse the stars, any gorgeous words seemed pale and powerless.
"Meow~"
Xinghai seemed to have finished a very strenuous work, laying down to rest exhausted, but his expression was full of joy and happiness, because this is the key link to realize his destiny.
As for who secretly added this worm elf to the game database just now... Is it a mysterious girl, Zhuang Xiaodie, or someone from a more distant future? This is hard to say.
Daju gestured awkwardly, indicating that the epidemic in the eastern theater had been brought under control.
It seems that the deworming and disinfection and epidemic prevention measures for stray cats have worked.
Vladimir nodded with satisfaction, "Disband!"
The four stray cats left separately, until the figures of the other three disappeared from the treetops and eaves, and Daju was still walking slowly.
Zhang Zian glanced at Fei Na.
"What do you want to say? You might as well just say it." Fina stared at him coldly.
"Nothing."
Life is precious, how can you say what you think in your heart
After dinner, the nearby residents went out for a walk one after another. Groups of three and five gathered together to chatter away, shaking cattail fans to drive away mosquitoes.
The streets are extraordinarily bright tonight.
Zhang Zian stood at the door of the store, and looked up when he pulled down the shutter door.
A round of bright moon hangs in the middle of the sky, big and round, as if it is very close to the earth, and you can touch it with your hand.
Before I knew it, it was Mid-Autumn Festival again...
Time flies so fast, I don't go to work, and I don't even realize when the holidays are.
Crash!
He pulled down the shutter door, locked it, and officially ended the day's business.
Ding!
The phone beeped.
Did someone send a message
He picked up his new phone and unlocked the screen.
The game starts by itself, and flashing lights float on the screen.
[Navigation Elf]: In order to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional Chinese festival in the world, we have held a festival challenge. Are you interested in participating
"Holiday challenge?"
Zhang Zian was taken aback when he heard this. This was the first time he had heard of it. Could this be the third point mentioned in the game introduction - a brand new gameplay
[Navigation Wizard]: Yes, in order to enrich the content of the game, we have prepared a variety of challenges during major human festivals, and you are welcome to participate. Of course, if you're not interested, we won't force you to attend.
He looked at the time, it was eight o'clock at night.
"Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, isn't it? There are still four hours. Are you early?" he asked.
[Navigation Elf]: In fact, due to the rotation of the earth, the East Twelve District has already entered the Mid-Autumn Festival first.
He thought about it carefully, China is the East Eighth District, and the time in the East Twelfth District is indeed four hours ahead, there is nothing wrong with it.
"Then tell me, what is the challenge?"
How could he not be interested? After all, the moment he clicked "Download" was to enjoy passion and adventure in his daily life.
[Navigation Elf]: A challenge with the theme of Mid-Autumn Festival, called "Toad Palace Winning Laurels". You can choose five levels of difficulty: s, a, b, c, and d. The higher the difficulty, the better the rewards. Once selected, it cannot be changed.
"Wait a minute, at least you have to tell me the relationship between difficulty and reward? And what is the content of the challenge? I have to weigh it. I can't choose randomly." Zhang Zian said.
[Game Tips]: Challenge goal—rescue the Jade Rabbit from the dangerous moon palace.
[Game tips]:
Possible dangers are as follows:
Level d—the maelstrom of the lunar sea.
Level C—Laurel Forest Maze.
Level b—Chang'e, an old lady with a cat face.
Level A—the ax murderer Wu Gang.
S class - all of the above.
[Navigation Wizard]: Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, and Bihai Qingtian is heartbroken every night. If you can successfully clear the highest difficulty level of S level and rescue Yutu safely, you will get a bottle of elixir of immortality that can only be taken by pet elves.
Zhang Zian's jaw could hardly close, "The immortal medicine? Is it the immortal medicine I imagined? Are you sure you're not bragging?"
[Navigation Elf]: The Immortal Elixir can only be taken by pet elves, and the effect is to stop aging permanently.
He asked curiously, "What would happen if people ate it?"
[Navigation Elf]: This is why Chang'e turned into a cat-faced old lady, it's too late to regret.
Zhang Zian: "..."
He looked around at the elves, and they all heard the words of the navigating elves, and their eyes of different colors looked at him in unison, leaving the decision to him.
Immortal medicine...
Fina, Laocha, Feimas, Fate, Richard, and possibly Xiaobai, these pet elves that once existed in history will still be limited by aging and lifespan, which he already knew .
The dream of Cleopatra VII gave him inspiration. Maybe in the future, when the elves are old, he can ask Zhuang Xiaodie to let them enter his dream for a long time, but this is a helpless move after all.
The elves who have already looked down on life and death, and even experienced life and death may not care, but he does.
If games can really provide the elixir of immortality...
"Damn it, I choose S-class!"
Zhang Zian's style has always been to drink the strongest wine and play the wildest Teddy, so it's meaningless to make small troubles.
[Navigation Wizard]: You have chosen the S-level challenge, and you only have one chance to clear the level, please cherish it. If you feel incompetent during the customs clearance process, you can give up at any time, otherwise your life may be in danger.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's get started!"
He put the old mobile phone and the new mobile phone into the trouser pockets on both sides, one on the left and the other on the right. The old mobile phone contained "Pet Hunter 1.0" and the new mobile phone contained "Pet Hunter 2.0".
From today onwards, he is a "Double Machine Man". People who don't know the inside story think how busy his business is.
[Navigation Elf]: The transmission channel is being opened—S-level challenge: Toad Palace wins!
A translucent vortex appeared in the pet shop, and the vortex rotated in the opposite direction to the vortex opened by the worm.
"Is everyone ready?"
Zhang Zian's eyes swept over the faces of the elves one by one.
He was gearing up, and the elves were also eager to try.
"Meow~" Xinghai's physical strength has not yet recovered, so he turned over and stood up.
"What cat-faced old lady... which woman dares to smear the face of the cat clan and abscond with medicine? I will never let it go!" Fei Na said proudly at the highest point of the cat climbing frame.
"Meow meow! My family is following His Majesty's footsteps." The snow lion showed his loyalty in time.
The old tea sipped the last sip of tea in the teacup, with a cold look in his eyes, "I have heard the myth of Chang'e flying to the moon for a long time. If I want to come to that Chang'e to prove the way of immortality, I would like to ask her for advice."
"I heard that the first animal to go into space was a dog. Maybe someone will make a movie about it in the future... This is a rare opportunity. I have to get a taste of the characters in advance and experience the characters." script.
Farah narrowed his eyes and looked at the full moon. The ancient wildness made his heart surge. No matter where he went to the ends of the universe, God would be with him.
"Hey, hey! It's hard for Hai, finally I have the chance to host this beautiful girl, whether it's Moon Sea or Earth Sea, I'm going to broadcast live!" Shihua shouted from the bathroom upstairs, but unfortunately she has big breasts and no brains. She didn't even think about whether there was a mobile phone signal in the Moon Palace.
"Squeak! Squeak!" Hearing the sound, π ran down from the second floor, waving the stick it brought back from the redwood forest. If there was another stick cut from a laurel branch, it might as well Can bloom in two.
Vladimir clenched his fists and sang to the moon:
"There is a kind of bravery called strength!"
"There is a choice called being strong!"
"There is a voice called majestic!"
"Our team goes to the moon!"
"Our team goes to the moon!"
"Through hardships, rain, snow, wind and frost!"
Richard flapped his wings and landed on his shoulders, "Quack! My uncle has always believed that Wu Gang, the muscular brother, is somewhat similar to King Billy, and he must also have a deep study of philosophy! male… "
"Shut up!" Zhang Zian pinched its beak to stop it from talking nonsense.
The elves, like him, were full of confidence in the trip.
They come from different histories and regions, and hold different beliefs, but at this time they are all partners, friends and family under one roof, and they will never fight alone.
"Okay! Let's go!"
Zhang Zian gestured firmly.
An exciting adventure is about to begin, and a new chapter in life is slowly opening.
How not to look forward to it
