The World Online

Chapter 1: rebirth

reincarnated again...

The last scene before death still echoed in my mind, like a movie replay.

The blood-stained sky, the battlefield with broken limbs and broken arms, the neighing of war horses, and mourning everywhere, even the breeze that blows over the earth has a bloody smell. But no one paid any attention to it. The two life and death brothers who were fighting side by side just a moment ago are facing each other with swords and swords, silently confronting each other. At this moment, even the air seems to freeze.

Not far from the feet of the two, lay the corpse of a ferocious man, blood-stained, decapitated. That was the leader of Heifeng Village, Song Heita, a king-level master, and the villain who ranked nineteenth on the six-door reward list. Under the villain's corpse, a purple treasure armor was shining brightly and shining brightly.

"Why?" The one who spoke was a handsome young man with delicate features and a tall and straight figure, wearing a beast cloud armor and holding a cloud dragon painting halberd.

The young man was seriously injured, half kneeling on the ground, with most of his body leaning weakly on the blood-stained painting halberd, precariously on the verge of falling. Blood gurgled from his chest, soaking most of the armor. Looking carefully, it turned out to be a thin sword passing through the chest from the back. The hilt of the sword was broken in two, presumably it was a sneak attack from the back and pierced into the body.

Opposite the handsome young man, stood a middle-aged man with a full beard, thick eyebrows and big eyes. The middle-aged man was wearing a mithril chain mail and holding a gilt spear. Only the scabbard remained of the saber at his waist, lonely, as if telling some kind of cruelty of reality.

"To live... to live better." The middle-aged man's voice was hoarse, but his tone was extraordinarily firm, as if he was answering the handsome young man's question, but also as if he was trying to convince himself. After the middle-aged man said such a few short sentences, he stopped talking and just calmly watched the young man half kneeling on the ground.

"Ha, just for it?" The handsome young man was full of sarcasm, pointing to the purple armor under the dead man's corpse not far away, feeling agitated. "Just for a piece of Zijin equipment, ha, ha, how ridiculous." The young man's voice became extremely cold.

"I really didn't expect it to have such magical powers that it can make people go crazy. It can make my elder brother who has always loved and respected me stab me in the back. It can make you, who is respected by the world as Little Song Jiang, give up dignity."

The handsome young man was already very weak at this moment, but his pair of black eyes were still as clear as pity. It's a pity that the sharpness of the past is missing, and a lingering self-mockery is added.

"Brother, no matter what, in the final analysis, this is just a game. One day, we all have to leave here and return to the real world. Unexpectedly... Unexpectedly, in the end, the five-year friendship between us brothers, it turned out to be a game. It is not as precious as a piece of game equipment."

"Third brother, I'm sorry!"

"Ha~haha~~I'm sorry~~haha~~It's ridiculous! Big brother, this is the last time I call you big brother. Greed is the original sin, I don't blame you." Suddenly, the handsome young man became unusually calm, There was no fluctuation in the expression on his face. A pair of bright eyes are as deep as the sea, and no one can see through his inner world anymore.

Those who are familiar with him are no strangers to this young man's expression, just like his nickname "Double-faced Asura". When it's cold, it makes the enemy frightened; when it's warm, it makes friends like spring breeze.

"But next time, I will kill you." The young man glanced at the middle-aged man and said coldly.

With his left hand, he slowly and tightly held the sharp sword passing through his chest. The sharp blade cut his palm, and blood flowed slowly. The young man's expression was still so calm, without any fluctuation, as if he couldn't feel any pain. With a chirping sound, the sharp sword was quickly pulled out of the body. The sharp blade pierced the heart and pierced the armor. Burning blood spurted out and shot high into the sky, just like the blooming youth, quietly blooming.

The picture freezes at this point, the blood-stained sky, a cavity of blood spilled into the sky, looks so small, so stubborn. The young man in the picture didn't seem to be himself, so Ouyang Shuo silently watched him fall to the ground until he bled to death.

This is not Ouyang Shuo's first reincarnation, but it is definitely his most painful reincarnation. Reincarnation means starting from scratch. Different from other games, in this game, every time a player dies and reincarnates, the character level is cleared, all the equipment on the body is dropped, and the death penalty is extremely cruel.

"I will not be defeated by betrayal. I want to get back everything that belongs to me." Thinking of his sister who was still in the city waiting for him to go back, Ouyang Shuo put aside all distracting thoughts, made up his mind, made a declaration of fate, and slowly Slowly opened his heavy eyelids.

The white ceiling is spotless. Smooth metal walls, empty. There is no other furniture in the room except for a bed, which is extremely simple. There is a game poster on the opposite wall, other than that, there are no decorations.

"Where is this?" Ouyang Shuo couldn't help talking to himself, his face full of confusion. This is definitely not the Temple of Reincarnation. The Hall of Reincarnation has always been full of howling ghosts and howling wolves, with ghosts and snakes everywhere, and the perennial gloomy wind, absolutely nothing to do with tranquility.

Is it difficult to return to the real world? That's not right, if the game goes offline and returns to reality, it should be lying in the game cabin instead of lying on the bed like now.

His eyes glanced at the huge game poster on the wall inadvertently, and Ouyang Shuo felt like he was being shocked by an electric shock. It's so familiar, how can you not be familiar with it? It's a game poster I've played for five years.

"The first cross-age online game "Earth Online" in history that integrates personal adventure + territory building + plane war. It is expected to be officially tested on January 1, 2190. Please look forward to it!"

Ouyang Shuo was dumbfounded by the eye-catching propaganda slogans, and his thinking stopped for an instant, like a brain crash. Oh, I remembered, this was my home five years ago. The dormant memories flooded in like a flood, bringing Ouyang Shuo, who had long been accustomed to the game world, back to the world.

In 2170 AD, scientists observed abnormal fluctuations coming from the Earth's core. After three months of repeated observations and complex calculations by the team of scientists, an amazing conclusion was drawn: 30 years later, the core of the earth will completely erupt. At that time, the mantle magma will break through the crust without any scruples, and the earth will be completely reduced to a flaming planet like the sun.

When this observation report was sent to the federal government, everyone was in despair. Although space technology has undergone considerable development in the past two hundred years, it is already possible to carry out long-distance interstellar navigation and wormhole traversal. However, human beings have not yet found a living planet like the earth. The only Mars base can only accommodate a limited population, and it also needs continuous support from the mother planet of the earth.

If the earth is really going to be destroyed, then human beings will have no place to live. The future has been decided, and the future is unpredictable. In desperation, just when the federal government was preparing to start the Mars transformation plan, a turning point appeared miraculously.

The latest images from the Explorer interstellar probe show that a new planet of life has appeared in the explorer's field of vision. Turning around, the federal government didn't bother to celebrate, and a huge interstellar immigration plan was formulated in less than three months.

The new planet of life is named "Hope". The code name of the Interstellar Migration Project is naturally "Hope", which is the last hope of mankind. In order to avoid social panic, the immigration plan is kept strictly confidential.

The whole plan is divided into many independent parts, which are assigned to different organizations or departments. It can be said that, apart from the Federal President, no second person knows the complete content of the plan.

As an important part of the "Hope" project, "Earth Online" has naturally been covered with a veil of mystery since its birth. Around the game planning and design, there are countless interest struggles and compromises, which are far more exciting than the bloody plots of TV dramas, and the specific details are not enough for outsiders.

The game map is completely generated with the earth as a real template, and the area is enlarged ten times. The game design team is only responsible for the game architecture and game mode design, and the specific game scenes and NPCs are deduced and generated based on the historical data of various countries.

The design team scanned all the historical video data, text data and cultural relics data of various countries and imported them into the Skynet host "Gaia" to carry out intelligent deduction for many years. Even the designer didn't know the specific task process and detailed data parameters in the game in the end.

Fifteen years later, on January 1, 2185, "Earth Online" launched a top-secret internal test, and all internal testers were required to sign a strict non-disclosure agreement. In order to get the qualification for the internal test, the forces of all parties naturally fought again, not to mention that.

In order to ensure the relative fairness of the game, Gaia generates a separate piece of land, and the closed beta map will not appear in the official game map. Through the closed beta, Gaia can continuously observe the player's game behavior and NPC's response. Based on massive first-hand observation data, Gaia constantly analyzes and summarizes, and constantly adjusts and improves the game settings.

Internal testing is carried out in batches, each lasting half a year. The personnel for each internal test are different, and the content of the test is also different. After a total of eight internal tests in four years, Gaia completely closed the game and conducted a one-year final deduction and improvement. The official public test is scheduled for January 1, 2190. When the game was released, even the internal testers couldn't figure out what changes the game would have, everything was unknown.

On December 20, 2189, the official website of "Earth Online" was officially launched. The official website is divided into three sections, database, mall and forum. The database only has basic information about the game's architecture, and no detailed information.

The only product sold in the mall is the game landing pod. The game pod is not graded, and the unified price is 100,000 credits. Online reservations are accepted. The expensive price discouraged a large number of ordinary players, coupled with the ridiculously little game information, and the bad publicity that didn't even produce CG except for printing and distribution of posters, making everything seem unusual.

As a reborn person, Ouyang Shuo knew that such an abnormality was naturally the result of struggle and compromise between various forces and the Federation President. Its purpose is also very simple, that is to deliberately slow down the time for ordinary players to enter the game, so that their own personnel can gain an early advantage.

Of course, for such a compromise, all parties paid a sufficient price. The cost was so great that not even the most radical democrats could say anything when the federal truth was revealed a year later.

The flood of memories was interrupted by a knock on the door. A crisp child's voice came from outside the door, "Brother~~ big slob, wake up! Bing'er is hungry~~"

Picking up the mobile phone on the bedside, I checked the time, December 28, 2189. This is the first three days of the game server, what a wonderful moment, everything is like a new life.

Everything in the past is just a dream, let it go with the wind. After being reborn, his familiarity with the game surpassed all players and forces. Coupled with his good game talent, Ouyang Shuo believes that as long as he works hard enough, he will be able to break out a new world in the game and protect his sister from wind and rain.

In this life, never let my sister wander with me again. No, not only that, but also let Binger become a princess in the game, a real princess.

"Baby Bing'er, brother will get up and make you breakfast." Even he himself didn't realize that at this moment, he was so relaxed and happy.
