Chapter 1: Two Hundred Dollars That Disappeared Out of Thin Air
"Elliott sees music as a diverse human practice, a way of living, expressing, communicating......"
Listening to the old man on the podium chattering about David Elliott's philosophy of music, Shen Yiran yawned boredly, as a senior at the Kyoto Conservatory of Music, if he hadn't found that he had not completed enough credits when he was about to graduate, he wouldn't even have the will to listen to the boring course of philosophical music.
Lying on the desk, using the classmates sitting in the front row as a shield, Shen Yiran took out his mobile phone from his pocket, put on the ring iron earplugs that had been boiled for half a year, closed his eyes, and secretly listened to the song.
"Every time it's heartbreaking, what is there besides love, I don't want to hear you say, it's worth it or not......"
The headphones are playing a new song by the recently made comeback diva Qin Muxi, once this song was launched, it has topped the 'Chinese Music Hot Song Chart' in less than a week.
Compared with pop music, Shen Yiran actually prefers some niche and unpopular songs, such as folk, jazz, rock and the like, but among many singers, his favorite is Qin Muxi, the queen of pop music, a female singer with a natural voice.
The first time Shen Yiran knew Qin Muxi was when he was seventeen years old, when watching the live broadcast of the 19th Chinese Music Golden Melody Awards Ceremony, Qin Muxi, as the finale guest, took the stage and sang a song "City Moved by Time".
After the awards ceremony, Qin Muxi announced that he would temporarily retire from the music scene due to physical reasons, hearing the news, Shen Yiran was a little depressed for a while, since then, he has been looking forward to Qin Muxi's return, and hopes that one day he can listen to the scene of the queen of heaven, even if it is just standing on the edge of the stage.
"I'm so hungry, I'm really hungry, I'm really hungry......"
The sudden notification tone in the headphones pulled Shen Yiran back to reality from the singing, rubbing his eyes lazily, and the old man on the podium was still foaming at the mouth of the lecture.
Lighting up the phone, it was an unread prompt of notification information, and after a casual glance, Shen Yiran smiled, since the popularity of smart phones, it seems that there are only some promotional messages left for him to send text messages to him.
Too lazy to read the content, he clicked the button marked as read, and just as he was about to put down his phone and continue listening to the song, he found that there was a black icon with rounded corners and rectangles on the home screen of the phone.
"What kind of software is this?"
Shen Yiran was a little puzzled, as an obsessive-compulsive person, every software on the mobile phone was carefully selected by him for a long time, these software have a unified style from icons to content, and the unified UI interaction makes the operation of the entire mobile phone more holistic.
"Is there a virus in the phone?"
After long-pressing the icon and finding that it could not be deleted, Shen Yiran suddenly thought of something, hurriedly opened the text message, found the message he had just received, and looked at it carefully.
"Hello, congratulations on obtaining the beta test qualification of "Idol Road", this game always adheres to the purpose of creating happiness with money and playing NMB without money, aiming to bring every player a real game experience where money is paramount. The game will officially start after you have read this message, if you plan to give up the beta test, you can choose to delete the text message within 3 minutes, the remaining time: 48 seconds. ”
The remaining time behind the text message was still decreasing second by second, Shen Yiran was a little curious, to be honest, let's not talk about this brazen content, it was the first time he had received a text message like this with a timer function.
Ignoring the deletion prompt in the message, press the HOME button and return directly to the home screen of the phone, at this time Shen Yiran noticed that the black icon with rounded corners and rectangle before became brighter little by little, and when the whole icon was displayed, he found that the four words on the icon were exactly the same as the name of the game mentioned in the text message.
"The time is over, thank you for choosing to participate in the internal test of the game, in order to support the development of the genuine game, please pay a copyright buyout fee of 188 yuan for the first time to start the game, the system has automatically bound you with bank cards, credit cards and other payment tools, do you want to start the game immediately?"
A pop-up window popped up on the screen again, looking at the content of the pop-up window, Shen Yiran couldn't help laughing, as a poor student, his monthly living expenses were directly taken out and put in his wallet, not to mention one hundred and eighty-eight yuan in the bank card, it is estimated that there is not even a piece of eight cents.
"Start the game, didn't you bind my bank card? ”
Due to the unsuccessful attempts to uninstall it many times before, Shen Yiran clicked on it with some anger to confirm, anyway, there was nothing important in his mobile phone, so he simply looked at what this virus software wanted to do.
"If the balance on my bank card is insufficient, do I choose to pay in cash?"
"Yes!"
Without hesitation, I chose OK again.
"The camera is turned on, ask the player to scan the cash. ”
The prompt window stayed on the screen for three seconds and then automatically jumped to the photo page, seeing the camera being turned on, Shen Yiran was faintly panicked, he didn't expect this virus to be so powerful, he was able to operate his mobile phone freely, he instinctively planned to stop the next operation, but curiosity finally occupied the peak.
"I don't believe you're going to get my money gone. ”
He took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out the only two hundred-dollar bills inside, laid them flat on his desk, and then raised his phone and pointed the camera at the cash on the desk.
After about three or four seconds, the money on the table did not react at all, and when I looked at the phone again, the screen was still on the camera page.
"Hehe, I'm really thinking too much. ”
Shen Yiran smiled self-deprecatingly, just now, he thought that this virus could really take away his money.
"The payment was successful, the change has been automatically recharged to the player's game account, thank you for your purchase, I wish you a happy game. ”
Just when Shen Yiran stretched out his hand to put away the money on the table, he saw a dialog box pop up on the mobile phone page, and then a white light flashed, and the two hundred yuan on the table disappeared out of thin air.
"Ahh
An exclamation instantly attracted the attention of the whole class, only to see Shen Yiran sitting there in a daze with his mouth covered, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and the old professor who was lecturing also put down the textbook in his hand and stared at him, the scene was very embarrassing for a while.
"Report to the teacher, I... My stomach hurts, ouch, I'm going to the bathroom..."
didn't have time to think about what had just happened, Shen Yiran hurriedly made up a reason, and bent down with a painful face covering his stomach, hoping to fool him out of the gaffe he had just made.
"Does this classmate need to go to the infirmary?"
The old professor walked down from the podium, asked with concern as he walked, and was about to walk to Shen Yiran's side, as if he had discovered something, turned around, let out a long sigh, and then waved his hand, and said, "Go, go, go..."
After getting permission, Shen Yiran was relieved, picked up his mobile phone and put it in his pocket, just as he lowered his head and was about to slip out of the back door, he only heard the old professor continue behind him: "This classmate, if you have a stomachache in the future, take off the headphones, don't keep shaking your legs with the music inside......"
