In July, the sun is scorching hot.
Even if the curtains are thick, they can't completely block the harshness of the sun.
The sunlight coming in through the gaps in the curtains formed a ray of light in all directions, bringing the only light to the entire room.
Jingle Bell!
The voice of the phone rang again.
After three consecutive beeps, it automatically switched to recording.
"Qin Ran? I'm Dr. Wang. You'll be eighteen years old in one year. If you don't start gene therapy, you'll lose your chance!"
The sentences are polite and formulaic, as always.
Qin Ran ignored it indifferently, lowered his head and concentrated on checking the game memory card in his hand.
Bright red in color, the size of a thumbnail.
After confirming that it was correct, Qin Ran put the game memory card bought with all his savings into the card slot of the virtual helmet.
drop!
There was a crisp sound, and the indicator light on the virtual helmet turned from red to green.
"Drip! Drip! Drip! The game manufacturer has not been detected, and the safety is unknown. Please try it carefully!"
A warning tone came from the speaker of the virtual helmet.
However, Qin Ran didn't care.
An underground game, of course, cannot have so-called manufacturers and security.
A year ago, this legendary game with 100% authenticity appeared on the market.
It stands to reason that such a game with a 100% authenticity is far superior to those popular virtual games with a 30-40% authenticity, so it must be greatly sought after.
But the result was just the opposite. It was banned before it was officially listed.
Because the game is too real!
It's real, if you die in the game, you will die in reality too!
Less than one tenth of the 3,000 closed beta players survived the closed beta and quit the game.
The death of thousands of people naturally announced the fact that this game will never be launched, and afterward, Kieran heard that some rich people joined this game in pursuit of excitement, making this game work again, And it has become a real 'underground game' - only a few people can get in touch.
In addition to the hidden purchase channels and high costs, death in the game is death in reality, which also discourages more people.
However, Qin Ran didn't care.
Because, if he can't collect three million treatment expenses within a year, he will definitely die if he suffers from genetic viral disease.
Three million is nothing to rich people, but to Qin Ran, it is an astronomical figure.
Qin Ran has been working hard to save money since he was tested for the first gene virus disease three years ago.
But... a drop in the bucket!
Three years ago, Qin Ran was fourteen years old, an ordinary junior high school student in the Federation, without any academic qualifications or special skills, even physical labor, because of his age, he was completely unqualified.
Can only do part-time jobs.
But no matter what kind of part-time job it is, it is impossible to afford the treatment fee of up to three million.
Even if he only sleeps five hours a day and works three jobs part-time, Qin Ran has only saved 30,000 yuan in the past three years.
Exactly one percent of medical bills.
This made Qin Ran feel desperate!
Kieran had too many expectations and fantasies about life, so...he didn't want to die.
But the reality made him die!
And at this time, he heard a rumor from the Dajin studio where he was working—a rumor about an 'underground game'.
There are rumors that any piece of top-quality equipment can be sold for millions!
After confirming the authenticity of this rumor, Qin Ran put all his eggs in one basket.
He used the savings he had accumulated for three years from working at the age of fourteen to buy a memory card for this underground game, ready to give it a go.
"If you don't succeed, you will succeed!"
Qin Ran thought silently.
Putting on the helmet, Kieran lay down on the bed.
The eyes went dark, and a paragraph of text, accompanied by voice, began to appear—
[ID detection in progress...]
[ID confirmation: Qin Ran, seventeen years old, orphan, currently living in a federal welfare housing...]
[Property checking...]
[Welcome to the underground game, the game is about to start...]
[Single-player copy enters!]
[Background: The war suddenly swept across the city, people had no defenses, most of them died in the artillery fire, the remaining civilians, including you, were struggling in the ruins of the city, and the guns that sounded from time to time The sound makes you panic - the rebels and thugs don't plan to stop, they have red eyes and murderous intent to destroy everything!]
[Main task: Survive for seven days, 0/7]
[Sub-task (optional): Rescue more civilians until the end of the war, every time a civilian is rescued, the customs clearance evaluation can be improved]
(Hint: The novice dungeon is a rare opportunity for every player!)
When all the words appeared, there was a pause of about three minutes, leaving enough time for Qin Ran, his eyes suddenly lit up, it was extremely dazzling, even if he closed his eyes, it was extremely uncomfortable, and Qin Ran could not help but raise his palm to block it In front of his eyes, he felt that his whole body was in a state of weightlessness accelerating downward.
The whole process lasted about a second or two.
When Qin Ran felt that everything was back to normal, he put down his palm and opened his eyes.
Immediately, Qin Ran's eyes widened.
In front of him, less than one meter away, a disembowelled dead body was leaning there, with its head raised slightly, and its cloudy eyes happened to look at Qin Ran, as if they were looking at each other.
Qin Ran immediately became short of breath.
Since childhood, Kieran has never seen a human corpse.
At most, it's a bloody fight.
At this time, a dead body appeared in front of him, still looking at each other like this, which immediately plunged Kieran into panic and fear.
In such panic, Kieran almost instinctively backed away until he hit the wall behind him before stopping.
boom!
The pain caused by the collision of his back against the wall made Kieran grit his teeth.
However, the pain relieved Kieran from the previous panic and gave him a sliver of reason.
"It's a game! It's a game! Even if it's 100% real, it's still a game!"
A trace of rationality made Kieran think of the environment he was in.
He didn't really encounter the corpse, he just entered the copy of the game.
But the truth in front of him, the smell of blood and stench in his nose made Qin Ran have to look for more direct evidence to convince himself.
"figure!"
Qin Ran said so.
Qin Ran, who used to do odd jobs in Dajin studio, is no stranger to the manipulation of some virtual games.
Fortunately, some rules of the game are universal, and 'underground games' are no exception.
As Qin Ran's words sounded, only his visible attribute bar appeared in front of his eyes.
The property bar is divided into three pages—
[Name: Qin Ran]
[Age: 17 years old (male)]
[Bloodline: Human]
[Title: None]
[Life: 100%]
[Physical strength: 100]
Qin Ran glanced at it, the first page is the basic character status, and the second page is the character attributes.
[Power: F]
[Agility: F]
[Physique: F]
[Spirit: F+]
[Perception: F+]
The third page is the skills, equipment, and backpack columns, but now they all show empty.
[Skill: None]
[Equipment: None]
[Backpack: Empty]
(Comment: A complete rookie, worse than cannon fodder!)
Even though the last comment was full of jokes, Kieran was smiling.
Because, the appearance of the system bar undoubtedly proves that everything in front of you is a game!
Even if it is 100% true!
call!
call!
Qin Ran took deep breaths again and again, trying to get rid of the remaining panic and calm himself down completely.
And when Qin Ran became calm enough, he subconsciously looked at the disembowelled corpse!
Corpses are scary and frightening in reality, but in the game, corpses represent another meaning: game gold coins and equipment!
Qin Ran naturally will not forget his purpose of entering the 'underground game', to obtain enough money to treat his genetic virus disease.
This requires a prerequisite, having sufficient strength in the game.
Only with strong strength can one obtain more game gold coins and good enough equipment, and only by relying on these game gold coins and good enough equipment can one be able to exchange for real money.
However, his current attributes are low, his skills, equipment, and backpack are all empty, and his evaluation is not as good as cannon fodder, so he naturally does not have such strength.
Therefore, he needs time to make himself stronger.
And this time is not too much!
Only one year in reality!
As for the game
Kieran can't judge right now, but judging from the time ratio of previous virtual games, it won't be much longer than the real time.
Therefore, he needs to seize any opportunity to make himself stronger.
In front of Qin Ran, there was such an opportunity.
Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Kieran slowly approached the corpse in front of him.
Even though he knew that what was in front of him was a game, but the 100% reality made Kieran no different than turning over a real corpse.
Especially the stench of the frozen blood made Qin Ran retch again and again.
Even, Qin Ran subconsciously avoided contact with the corpse's cloudy eyes, and he didn't even look at the disemboweled wound, but kept groping and searching for the corpse with both hands.
After a while, Qin Ran's eyes lit up as he turned his head slightly.
Then, he suddenly looked at the strap that he had fumbled with his left hand, and with a slight pull, Kieran pulled a backpack off the corpse.
The backpack was well concealed, and coupled with the sitting posture of the corpse, it would have been difficult to find it with just two eyes if Qin Ran hadn't searched carefully.
And if it is placed so concealed, there should naturally be some good things.
Subconsciously, Kieran looked at the backpack in his hand with slightly burning eyes.
