Ye Qiu grabbed the mobile phone on the table, searched for it in the phone book for a while, and clicked the button to connect. A few seconds of calling also made me feel like it was long. Poof, after the sound of connectivity, I heard the deep voice of the grocery store owner.

"Hey—"

"Oh, what's the matter with the picture!!"

"I said Ye Qiu, you have to at least report your name. ”

"There's no time to spare!!!"

"That's a long story. Will you come to my shop?"

"I'll be right away, right away. ”

Ye Qiu didn't listen to the other party's reply, immediately hung up the phone, and rushed out of the room with a change of clothes. I took a shower as fast as I could, put on my shoes before my hair dried, pedaled on my bicycle and rode out.

Ye Qiu has walked this road many times since he came to this world, but this time he feels that it is very long.

A café and bar run by a grocery store owner located in an alley in Okachimachi, Taito Ward.

A black signboard indicates that this is the storefront, and there is a sign decorated with metal on the door. Two dice-like signs are engraved with the name "Dickeycafe".

With a crisp chime, I pushed the door open. A bald man at the counter looked up and smiled at himself. There wasn't a single customer in the store either.

"Yo, you're fast. ”

"Your shop is still not doing well. How has the store survived in the past two years? ”

"Long-winded, even though this is the case now, business is still good at night. ”

It was like returning to that world, and these conversations made Ye Qiu's heart a little calmer.

Ye Qiu contacted him at the end of last month.

At that time, it was the civil servant who came to investigate the incident who got the real names and residences of the acquaintances that Ye Qiu wanted to know.

There are many people who Clark and Ye Qiu want to see again, and they have now returned to the real world, although it is very hard to keep in touch with them, Ye Qiu still wants to contact them at the right time.

Although their memories have been altered, it is also for their sake.

He Yeqiu first visited this store.

"So, what do you want me to tell you!?" the shopkeeper was a little upset.

His real name is Subaru Topaz Nick, and when he learns that he also runs a store in the real world, Ye Qiu feels very recognized.

He was ethnically African-American, but his father had been here in Japan since he was twenty-five years old, opening the café--bar in Okachimachi.

And he met his beautiful and virtuous wife among the guests, and later he was imprisoned in the VR world for two years. When I returned to this world, the store that I thought should have closed down a long time ago was protected by my wife.

Sounds really impressive.

In fact, there should be a lot of regular customers here. In this wooden shop, all the utensils are arranged in a bright and colorful manner, and the four round tables and counters are very compact and attractive, and it is full of soothing atmosphere.

Ye Qiu sat down on a leather stool, ordered a cup of coffee, and began to ask the shopkeeper about the picture.

"I said, what's that picture about?"

The store manager didn't answer immediately, only to see him take out a rectangular package from under the counter and push it in front of Ye Qiu.

This package clearly contains game software. When Ye Qiu was looking for the platform to which the game belongs, the "Polaris" printed on the upper right caught my attention.

"It's a piece of hardware I've never heard of."

“polaris。 It was released when we were still in that world. That's the successor to the Galaxy. ”

I looked at the logo icon with mixed feelings, and the owner made some simple explanations.

After that incident, Galaxy was called a demonic machine, and no manufacturer dared to get involved in the development of VR immersive game software.

It wasn't until half a year after the frequent lock-in incidents of VR games that a large company released its successor model under the slogan of "absolutely safe this time", and it was just when the people of this world were trapped in that world that this model completely turned over. Since then, "Polaris" and other VR games similar to the previous one have been released, and they have become very popular all over the world.

Those words made Ye Qiu understand a little, but since Ye Qiu didn't pay attention to these games of the same kind again after that, the details were not very clear.

"So, is this the same as that game?"

Ye Qiu took it in his hand and carefully examined the illustration on it. It depicts a huge full moon hanging high in the middle of a deep forest, and a young girl with a sword flying in the air against the background of a golden disc.

The clothes are all in the orthodox fantasy style, and they all have a pair of transparent wings behind them. The title below the illustration reads - "Fairy Fantasy".

"What do you mean?"

It's like pronunciation. It means fairy country. ”

"Leprechauns. I still don't understand it. Is it a laid-back game?"

"Well, maybe that's the case. It's hard in a sense. ”

The shopkeeper put the steaming cup in front of Ye Qiu and said with a smile. Ye Qiu picked up the teacup and continued to ask him while tasting the aroma.

"Difficulty, what's it like?"

"This is a game of complete skill. Valuing the player's skills. Players are encouraged to play against each other. ”

"Completely?"

In other words, there are no levels in this game. Various skills can only be increased by repeated use, and even if the breeding hit rate does not increase too much. Combat is all about the player's athleticism, not sword skills, and the magic is similar to our game. But this game, whether it is the image accuracy or the number of action frames, its technology is very powerful. ”

"Oh, that's amazing. ”

Ye Qiu's mouth was shaped like a whistle. In the past, Aiente City was a world created by the demon king of another world who didn't know how much time and energy it took to create. Designers other than him have developed a VR world of the same level, which makes me a little unbelievable.

But for the people of this world, their own adventures are just games.

"What do you mean by encouraging everyone to fight?"

"Players can choose the race of the goblins when creating a character, and only between different races. ”

"It's really difficult. No matter how technical the game is, it shouldn't be very popular, and it feels like this game is made for those fanatics. ”

Ye Qiu frowned and said, after hearing this, the shopkeeper changed his serious expression and smiled again.
