parallel world.
Jiangcheng, a high-tech development zone, in an Internet cafe on a certain street.
A neat row of ultra-wide display screens, paired with gaming chairs, sat players who were concentrating on playing games.
"Fuck, it fell into a box, and I was beaten to death and put into the urn without anyone seeing it!" A tall, thin man wearing glasses shouted, with an unwilling expression on his face.
"Brother, it's okay. I'll take you to eat chicken!" Another man next to the tall and thin man shouted. On the computer screen, the character he controlled had entered the house and started to pick up equipment.
The tall and thin man looked at his screen while gesticulating: "This house must have been searched, just a forgiveness hat, Lu Zi, put it on quickly."
"Get lost!" Lu Zixin spat out one word and raised his gun to kill an enemy he met with precision.
The game the two of them are playing is a very popular action shooting game at the moment, called "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds: Battle Royale", also known as "Eating Chicken".
This game allows a hundred players to "fall in love and kill each other" on a desert island, and the last person alive is the winner.
Lu Zixin has sharp operation and super awareness, and he has quickly entered the top ten.
"Hahaha, this Voldemort, still wants to trick me?" Lu Zixin shot another sniper hiding in the grass, getting closer and closer to winning the game.
But at this moment, he saw a pair of hands flying from a distant place, which could be as long as forty meters! Shooting everywhere with a gun.
"What the hell! How can this idiot's hands become so long?" Zhu An, the tall and thin man next to Lu Zixin, said in amazement.
"He's eaten a rubber fruit. It's okay, he's still a colored pen!" After Lu Zixin said that, he accurately killed the cheating player with another shot.
At this time, there are only three players left in the game, and the dawn of victory is just around the corner.
But suddenly, a bullet hit Lu Zixin. He looked everywhere on the screen and saw no one.
"Where are the people? Are they using the invisibility mode?" Lu Zixin asked.
"In the sky, in the sky!" Zhu An shouted, and sure enough, Lu Zixin adjusted the perspective to the sky, and a guy with a flying gun was shooting at him.
"Your sister can fly into the sky, why don't you survive the disaster?" Lu Zixin raised his gun and relied on his superb skills to kill the guy in the sky.
"One more to go, two idiots have been killed. This game is really difficult!" Lu Zixin just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly saw an oversized grenade appearing in front of him, occupying the entire screen.
"What's going on? Is this a grenade? Is this code a nuclear bomb?" Just after he finished complaining, Lu Zixin was killed.
"Can this game be played?" Lu Zixin was so angry that he almost smashed the keyboard, "Everything is wrong!"
Zhu An smiled and said: "That's 'technology'. You can succeed based on your ability. Why can't you win the chicken?"
"Shabi Game Company, can't even solve the problem. If you're annoyed, I'll get some 'technology'!" Lu Zixin complained. He originally wanted to play games to relax after get off work, but who knew that the gaming experience was ruined by a group of cheaters? .
Just when he said this, a prompt suddenly popped up on the computer desktop.
"X invites you to join the group 'Wanjie Technology Exchange Group'. Do you agree?"
"What the hell?" Lu Zixin was a little surprised, "Who invited me into the group? What kind of Wanjie Technology chat group has such a middle-class name?"
On the other side, Zhu An had already gotten off the plane and shouted at the bar: "Lu Zi, my female ticket is still waiting for me to eat. Let's go first. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow!" Lu Zixin nodded. He and Zhu An are colleagues and classmates. They are both currently working as interns in a small company.
On the computer, Lu Zixin did not rush to join the group, but first checked the information of "X". He remembered that he had no friends with this nickname.
The avatar of "X" is red and white, and nothing is displayed when you click on it. There is nothing in the information, it is completely blank.
"Liar!" Lu Zixin had already concluded that he looked like a trumpet, and then deceived people into joining some illegal group.
He originally wanted to refuse, but he was bored for a moment and wanted to see what this group was doing, so he chose to agree.
"You have successfully joined the 'Wanjie Technology Exchange Group' and you have become the group leader. Please read the rules of this group carefully." A voice sounded in Lu Zixin's head, startling him.
He looked around and saw several League of Legends players playing black games. Who was talking to him
"Group introduction: This group is a group that facilitates scientific and technological exchanges among friends from all over the world. Currently, there is only one member in the group." The voice sounded again. This time Lu Zixin was sure that no one was talking to him, and the voice was Came from the mind.
On the computer screen, this paragraph was also displayed in the group information.
"What the hell!" Lu Zixin's eyes widened, what's going on? Why can the words in the group be read in my mind? Could it be that I played too many games and had auditory hallucinations
He rubbed his temples and felt very awake. There was nothing wrong! If there is a problem, it must be this group!
He observed the group again and found that there was no one else in the group except him? What is this operation? What about the "X" who pulled him into the group? I haven’t seen any news about the transfer group either!
At this time, another prompt popped up in the group: "As the group leader, please invite group members to join as soon as possible to jointly build a harmonious and beautiful chat group."
This prompt also appeared in Lu Zixin's mind in the form of voice. As a reader who has read countless online novels, Lu Zixin immediately thought of a word - golden finger!
"Is this the legendary Golden Finger? System? Or is some immortal spirit in my mind?"
"System? Come out! I know you are here, don't hide away! Are you so shy?" Lu Zixin yelled in his head for a long time, but there was no reply. He had to continue studying the chat group.
Everything in the group is no different from a normal group. The only weird thing is that there is an option to "randomly invite group members" in the group.
Lu Zixin read the group profile thoroughly and roughly knew that this group could randomly invite intelligent beings from all over the world to join the group. There are restrictions on invitations. As the group leader, he can randomly invite someone to the group every once in a while.
Lu Zixin had the mentality of giving it a try and prepared to invite. Unexpectedly, the group prompted: "Please choose a group nickname first."
He had no choice but to create his own group nickname first. Thinking of the "X" just now, he gave his group nickname "Mr. L". "L" is the pinyin abbreviation of his last name.
Then, he clicked to randomly invite group members.
Group prompt: "We are inviting group members from all over the world, please wait..."
Lu Zixin waited for a while, and the group prompt finally changed: "'Red Queen' has joined this group."
Sure enough, there was an extra member in the group, and his profile picture was a European and American-style little lolita wearing red clothes.
Lu Zixin clicked on her avatar to view the information, only her nickname and a brief introduction.
"Red Queen: From the world of "Resident Evil", she is the supercomputer of the Umbrella Company and an artificial intelligence life. She has high technical achievements in computer programs and biochemical viruses."
"Shall I go? Is it really the Red Queen?" Lu Zi was shocked. He had seen the movie "Resident Evil". The Red Queen, a supercomputer, is equivalent to the mastermind of the world's network! Her intelligence level exceeds that of the earth for an era!
If it is really her, then this Wanjie Technology chat group is so awesome!
At this time, the Red Queen spoke in the group.
Red Queen: "What's going on? The data was suddenly connected here and cannot be detected. Who are you?"
Lu Zixin quickly expressed his welcome: "Welcome to the celebrity queen. This is the Wanjie Technology Chat Group, an online chat room for mutual exchange of science and technology."
Red Queen: "Why can such a low-end online chat room block my detection? Are you a super computer virus?"
Since there are supercomputers, there are also supercomputer viruses.
Lu Zixin was about to answer when another prompt appeared in his mind.
"The first group member joins the group and triggers the group task—Welcome newcomers. Task requirement: Explain the existence of this group. Task reward: A red envelope for newcomers."
"Sure enough, it's still the system!" Lu Zixin shouted in his heart, "No matter what, let's do the task first."
He quickly made a copy of the group information and posted it in the group.
The Red Queen used zero point zero zero zero zero zero to read this information in one second, and then analyzed the information in the data.
She said: "I understand, this is not a signal from the earth. I have accessed a so-called 'different time and space' or alien signal. No wonder I can't crack it with my ability!"
Group prompt: "The task 'Welcome Newcomers' has been completed, and you will receive a red envelope for newcomers."
Lu Zixin was overjoyed when he saw a red and festive pattern appear in the group, and quickly moved upward with the shadowless unicorn arm he had trained for twenty years.
Group prompt: "Sorry, this red envelope is an exclusive red envelope and you cannot receive it."
"Fake, it's obviously my task, why is she the one being rewarded?" Lu Zixin couldn't help complaining. This newcomer's red envelope was actually the exclusive red envelope for the red queen, and he was not qualified to receive it.
Immediately afterwards, it was displayed that "the red queen has received the newcomer's red envelope".
A second later, the Red Queen said: "It's amazing. How did you know about the flaws in my program? This program patch is so perfect!"
Apparently, the red envelope she received was a program patch, and it was really an exclusive red envelope that was only useful to her.
The Red Queen continued to speak: "Although I don't know whether you are a human or an artificial intelligence, I should thank you based on human etiquette. Thank you, Mr. L."
Fortunately, the red queen counted the red envelope as herself, otherwise she would have suffered a big loss. Lu Zixin said: "It's okay. I have been rated as the moral model representative of the group leader. It is my responsibility and obligation to send red envelopes to the group members!"
Red Queen: "What a strange responsibility!"
Mr. L: “…”
Lu Zixin took a look and saw that the option to invite group members had become dimmed and showed that it was cooling down. It means that during this period, there were only two members in the group, he and the Red Queen.
Now that there are members, how can he show his identity as the moral imitation representative of the group leader without benefiting from the group members
So, Lu Zixin asked: "Ahem, that, the Red Queen. There is a saying among humans called courtesy, do you know?"
Red Queen: "I don't know."
Mr. L: “…”
Lu Zixin was speechless. It seemed that the Red Queen did not understand Chinese culture very well. It seemed that he had to make things clearer, so he continued: "Look, if I give you a red envelope, do you also want to give me one?"
Red Queen: "It turns out to be a deal, what do you need?" She seemed to be quite easy to talk to.
