In the past, traditional online games were difficult to attract female players, and even if they were casual and relaxing, the players were generally young and male. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 But since the advent of this kind of virtual reality-like game that allows people to really 'get into' it, the number of female gamers has skyrocketed, and as long as it's not as hardcore and harsh as GGO, it is said that the ratio of male and female gamers is almost the same.

After all, this kind of game that makes people feel like they're in another world shouldn't be judged solely by the way games were defined in the past. Men who like to play games can experience more realistic and powerful battles in these games, and women who are not so interested in games can also experience living in a different world from reality. You must know that few women have not dreamed of fairy tales since childhood, and those fantasy games are full of beautiful scenery and different races that can only be read in storybooks, isn't it just the realization of their childhood dreams?

Although the popularity of VR games has given young families more ways to entertain together, there are many people in Levy's family who love to play games, but there are none of them who love to play VR games at home. Probably because none of the girls in Levy's family grew up on the earth ordinarily, and those things that others have never seen and can only fantasize about have never been lacking in their past days. For example, some girls are eager to fulfill their desire to become magical girls in the game, but Fett, Naye and Tempest, but they want to live the life of an ordinary schoolgirl.

So contrary to the current popular lifestyle, the Levi family is quite a bit 'retro'. On weekends, go shopping streets or shopping malls, and go to parks or playgrounds. Find a few restaurants with special flavors and good tastes for lunch. This kind of 'ready-to-have' lifestyle, which was despised by the majority of poor male compatriots who did not have girlfriends in the past, is now becoming more and more rare. Even those who are now charged seem to be popular in the game to show affection and wild flashbangs on a date.

But it's a good thing for the Levy family. As more and more people like to play games, the streets and shops that used to be crowded on weekends have become much deserted. If it was still as crowded as before, a reclusive creature like Evan, who would be able to go out after the curse was lifted, would definitely stay at home and not go out like he usually refused to go to school.

It looks like the game is about to start, and it's just the right time.

As soon as Levi logged into the game, the first thing that appeared in front of him was a holographic neon sign with "bullet-of-bullets-3" flashing between the buildings in full red text.

Lévy's current location is on the square in front of the presidential palace. During the day, he felt quite deserted when he came here, and it is said that it is because this imposing presidential palace tower has no special use for players other than special events such as the Bob Tournament, so there are not too many people coming and going. Now it's a fun square before a major holiday, filled with boisterous players with snacks and drinks in hand, just like the young people waiting for the countdown to the festival.

The sound of small talk from the players around him kept reaching Levy's ears, and he found that the most discussed thing among players was the betting odds for the next game. In reality, sports competitions have gradually become one of the most eye-catching large-scale gambling carnivals, and many sports fans who watch the games will make small bets happily, which can not only make themselves more engaged and exciting when watching the game, but also make a small amount of money while being happy.

And players in games like GGO have a significantly heavier gambling mindset than the average sports fan. Lévy listened cursory, as if there was hardly anyone around him who hadn't bet. If such a large number of players in this square each bet a little money, then no matter what the outcome of the game will be, the game operator will be able to make a lot of money and make a good profit. The BOB competition in this GGO seems to be a major entry for game companies.

"Huh?"

As Levi looked around, he suddenly saw a figure with short blue hair, and he turned his head to stare twice, confirming that it was the girl who had helped him a lot yesterday, and the girl happened to turn around and meet Levi's eyes.

"Yo, Shinon, you've just gone online too, or are you going to bet over there?"

Lévy walked up to the girl and beckoned her to greet her. The girl, on the other hand, puffed out her cheeks as if she was a little upset, and then sighed and nodded at him in response.

"Originally, I wanted to put all the money on myself, but then I thought it would be over. I'm confident that I'll win, but it doesn't seem good to gamble at my age. ”

Shino said so, but anyone could tell that a girl like her wouldn't care about gambling or not - in the game.

In fact, just after going online, Shino stared at the holographic window in the air that displayed the winning odds of all the participating players for a while, and indeed had the urge to put all the money on his own win. But in the end, the reason why Shino gave up betting was not what she said, but simply felt that gambling money would make her purpose impure. This kind of reason that sounds a little funny is a rare childish side that Shino shows.

"Don't you say this in front of me because I'm a teacher, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who likes to meddle with things, let alone students from other schools, even if it's a student from this school, as long as it's not in my class, I'm not interested in meddling. If you want to place a bet, go ahead, I don't know when the betting deadline is, but our game should start soon?"

Lévi teased Shinon, and of course he could see that the girl really didn't plan to bet. It's just that I don't know why she takes this competition so seriously, even in the game, Levi can feel that Shino's mood is not normal.

It's too persistent, and it feels a little paranoid. Yesterday's final qualifier final, Shino's performance made Levi deeply appreciate the extraordinary effect of this match on this girl. This rare GGO that can make money in the game doesn't seem to be just a hardcore game for girls. She doesn't seem to care much about the money and equipment in the game that can be exchanged for real money, at most it is just a dispensable little benefit that can add more pocket money to herself. So, what exactly is she pursuing in this game?
