At 3 p.m. on October 6, the sixth day of the National Day holiday, a residential area in Zhangjiang High-tech Zone, Shanghai......

Li Yehua feels that he is quite lucky, when he graduated from college last year, several companies sent notices of interview passing, and the two so-called Internet companies with relatively high salaries are the kind that build a website to make money. Of course, Li Yehua at that time didn't know these insiders, and he didn't know how to do it, so he finally chose a foreign-funded enterprise to do business consulting, and then look back today, how wise the original decision was, a few of his classmates just couldn't stand the temptation of high salaries, and joined those Internet companies, but now when the Internet bubble bursts, those classmates have to look for jobs again, but he can take a salary of 4,000 yuan a month and live freely in Shanghai.

Li Yehua is a travel enthusiast, he used to fantasize about traveling all over the country and seeing those famous scenic spots, but now that his wallet is bulging, he finally has the economic strength to realize his dream. So during this year's May Day, Li Yehua dragged his suitcase to participate in a five-day tour of Xi'an Terracotta Warriors, Yan'an, Famen Temple, and Huashan organized by a travel agency, but unfortunately this trip left him with no good memories.

Maybe there are too many people who travel during the May Day period, no matter which scenic spot Li Yehua sees, all he sees is a crowded scene, he wants to take a photo but finds that there are basically people in the way, he wants to walk around but finds that there are people everywhere, and even when he was in Huashan, in order to take the cable car up the mountain, it took two or three hours just to queue up, and finally it took less than half an hour to stay on the top of the mountain. The travel agency arranged all the way to the very tight, every day before dawn to get up, and when you arrive at the accommodation, it is often almost dark, three meals a day is like a war, hurrying to come, hurriedly eliminating the almost unchanged food on the table. When he returned to Shanghai, Li Yehua couldn't remember what he had watched in the past few days.

So when it came time for the seven-day National Day holiday, Li Yehua gave up the idea of going out to travel again, he felt that if he really wanted to go out in the future, he must not go out with the group of the travel agency, otherwise the tour would become a march, and he must not choose to go out during the long holidays such as National Day and May Day, otherwise he would not see the scenery but the people.

Since he couldn't go out to play, Li Yehua decided to find something else to kill time, and a friend just recommended an online game "Legend" to him, so he took advantage of the National Day break to start playing. Li Yehua is a person who pays more attention to planning to do things, on weekdays, he is used to making daily arrangements first, and then starting to act, this time playing games is no exception, after some planning, he set himself three time periods to play games, which are 10 o'clock ~ 12 o'clock in the morning, 2 o'clock ~ 4 o'clock in the afternoon, 9 o'clock ~ 12 o'clock in the evening, so that he can leave some time for himself to read books, check information on the Internet, do housework or something.

Today is the sixth day that Li Yehua started playing the game, and with the help of his friends, his archer "Streamer" has been upgraded to level 23 and joined the Jianghu sect "Divine Arrow Gate". Now he basically does sect tasks in the morning every day, accumulating some experience and silver, and in the afternoon, he mostly follows his friends to practice leveling, and the evening is basically PK time, perhaps because people are the most uniform at this time, so most of the dignified gang battles and those PK melee that sneak in the suburbs of the city occur at this time.

Li Yehua is very uninterested in things like PK, mainly because he was unfortunately hung up a few times when he participated in the first time, not to mention the experience he lost, and the equipment he finally saved was also broken, which was a huge loss for him, of course, the main reason was that he played "Legend" for too short a time. But as a man who was introduced by a friend, he couldn't be decisive at this time, so although Li Yehua missed the safe cities provided in the game very much, he could only bite the bullet, and at this time, while shooting dark arrows, he secretly swore that he would find a safe place to stay first when he returned at night, and he would definitely not be involved in PK such a dangerous business.

Li Yehua has also played computer stand-alone games before, and after becoming a white-collar worker in a foreign company, he also rewarded himself with a "Dream Box" (DreamBox128), but whether it is a computer stand-alone game or a game on the "Dream Box" game console, it can generally only be played by one or two people, and he doesn't like to go to places like Internet cafes to join in the fun, so he often feels the fun of the game alone at night. After playing online games like "Legend" in the past few days, he found a new kind of fun, which he can't feel when playing a game alone, such as several people going together to push a boss that one person can't handle, such as when you run out of food and have little blood left, someone reaches out to you to help you replenish your blood, and gives you a few bottles of medicine, such as when you are in a bad mood, you can chat with your friends in the safe zone relaxed and without worries, gossip, and make a joke.

In Li Yehua's view, online games are an enlarged version of the real-life ICQ, which can be more convenient to communicate with friends, and can also play games by the way, but the PK is a little more. Maybe it has something to do with Li Yehua playing stand-alone RPG games and loving travel, in fact, he is more willing to explore the game world, if he can invite three or five friends, travel around the corners of the game, and explore the mystery and unknown contained in it, it will be a more interesting game experience for him, but now his level is not high enough, and many places can't go, and then sometimes he goes around somewhere, but unfortunately he meets PK.

Now there are only two words left in Li Yehua's mind "upgrade", only when the level is high, many places can be gone, and only when the level is high, there is no need to worry about encountering PK.

……

At 5 p.m. on October 6, Dafangjia Hutong, Dongcheng District, Beijing......

Xiong Taotao drank the last bit of iced tea in the plastic bottle in his hand, threw it on the ground, and then pushed open the wooden door in front of him and walked into this origin Internet café that he often visits. Recently, Xiong Taotao has become a frequent visitor to the Origin Internet Cafe, and as long as he gets off work or has a break, he will come over to play for a few hours.

Xiong Taotao is a native of Beijing, the family entrusted someone to help him introduce a fire equipment sales company work, originally thought it was an easy and decent job, who would like to do the most every day is to carry dozens of pounds of fire-fighting equipment upstairs and downstairs, more hurt self-esteem is that he is one meter seven in size, but not as good as those women in the company can move, every time I see others move the same heavy fire-fighting equipment to the fifth floor without gasping, he has a feeling of self-esteem.

The work pressure is high, so naturally he will find a way to vent, so by chance, Xiong Taotao found the origin of the Internet café in Hutong, the price is a little cheaper than those beautifully decorated big Internet cafes outside, and the environment is more refreshing than the common black Internet cafes in the Hutong, so he walked in.

Xiong Taotao still remembers that it was at the end of August, the first time he came to the origin Internet café, he originally planned to play two games of "StarCraft" online with others, but he didn't expect to meet two people who are now friends Tang Sheng and Shenming, at that time those two guys were playing a game he had never seen before, and later he learned that the game was called "Legend".

"What kind of game is this?" asked Xiong Taotao stupidly.

"MMORPG, massively multiplayer online role-playing game!" Tang Sheng, who was playing the game, said casually, continuing to control his character to chase the monkey on the screen and slash.

"What's so fun about role-playing games, it's better to play interstellar. ”

After speaking, Xiong Tao turned around and was about to go to the owner of the Internet café to open the machine, who knew that the clothes were suddenly pulled by someone, and a voice came: "If you haven't played, you just talk nonsense!"

"What's the matter?" the bear asked, turning around and asking, pretending that he was still a little big.

"If you have the ability, you can play a little bit and talk about it!" Tang Sheng, who was tugging at Xiong's clothes, said dissatisfiedly.

"Just play, who's afraid of whom! But this is a treat for you!"

"Please, please!" Tang Sheng waved to the owner of the Internet café after speaking, and shouted: "Big brother, open another machine, count it as mine." ”

That day, in the end, Xiong Taotao really didn't spend money at the Internet café, but after leaving the Internet café, he still invited Tang Sheng and Shen Ming to a nearby restaurant to eat ramen with meat, and also took ten skewers of mutton, a large lamb kidney, and a few bottles of beer, because he found this "Legend" really fun. Since then, Xiong Taotao has become a frequent visitor to the origin Internet café, Tang Sheng and Shen Ming have become his friends, and the three of them often fight in the world of "Legend", cutting NPCs together to upgrade, earning game currency together, and participating in PK together. Among the three, Tang Sheng practiced as a swordsman, and was the main force of attack every time, Shen Ming practiced as a swordsman, often acting as a meat shield to block the enemy, and Xiong Tao practiced a white-robed Taoist priest, and every time he was responsible for adding blood and assistance, because he was nicknamed "daddy" by Tang Sheng and Shen Ming.

As soon as he walked into the origin Internet café, Xiong Taotao saw that Tang Sheng and Shen Ming were already playing there, and looking at the appearance of these two guys shouting, the situation was quite intense. He came behind the two of them, patted Tang Sheng on the shoulder and asked, "What's the matter?"

Tang Sheng looked back and said, "Oh, the Wind Soul Boss is gathering the helpers, today we are going to have a good fight with the 'Iron Blood Brotherhood', hurry up and log in, we are still counting on you to add blood, Dad!"

"Yes, yes. Dad, without you, we won't be able to find the direction of life. Shen Ming also said on the side this time.

"Dizzy, can you stop calling daddy, it's too ugly. Xiong Taotao sat down in front of the computer that had just been turned on next to him, and said angrily.

"Then do you want to call it a wet nurse?" Tang Sheng asked with a playful smile.

"Forget it, it's better to be a daddy!" Xiong Tao was desperate, and if he continued to talk about it, it might become something even more ugly, so he simply didn't give his opinion.

"Came in and went directly to the southern suburbs of Jicheng, coordinates xxxxx: xxxxx, we have arrived there. Seeing that Xiong Taotao had already chosen the characters, Tang Sheng instructed.

When Xiong Taotao followed the coordinates to find it, he only saw that the screen was full of people, and he had never seen so many people in a certain area at one time, even several times more than the last time he had a big melee with the "Iron Brotherhood".

"What's the matter, why are there so many people today?" Xiong Tao patted Tang Sheng on the shoulder and asked.

"It seems that the two sides have agreed to have a big battle here, and when you didn't come just now, the Wind Soul Boss cleared the scene with a lot of people. Tang Sheng explained.

Xiong Tao understood what Tang Sheng meant, in fact, it is not easy to think of large-scale PK in "Legend", mainly there is no too suitable place, the area of the three areas near the big city of the system is too small, if there are thirty or forty people in a melee, it is okay, if there are more people, it is easy to get into trouble, either when you encounter a wild NPC that is refreshed, or if you fall into the alert range of the city guard, in short, it is not easy to have a happy fight. For example, when the first conflict between "Wind Soul" and "Predator Brotherhood" occurred, the scale of the fight between the two sides became bigger and bigger, and later many people were blackmailed by NPCs and City Watch in the wild, and some of them were unlucky more than once or twice.

Of course, if the strength of the gang is strong, it is not completely impossible to want a large-scale PK, such as this time "Wind Soul" and "Iron Blood Brotherhood" do, choose a place where the strength of the wild NPC is not strong and far away from the city, clear the field first, and then start fighting, even if the wild NPC is refreshed, it will not cause too much trouble, after all, the wild NPC does not have the perverted strength of the City Watch.

Xiong Taotao asked while preparing, adjusting the inventory and changing the equipment in his hand, "When will the fight begin?"

"I started talking about six o'clock, and now it's still ......" Tang Sheng turned his head to look at the wall clock on the wall, and continued: "Five minutes, it should be soon!"

"Oh......" Xiong Tao nodded, his eyes turned to the screen in front of him, looking at the dense crowd above, he only felt a solemn atmosphere rushing to his face.

……

At 8 p.m. on October 6, Huayuyuan Community, Xicheng District, Beijing......

After dinner, Qing Muchuan opened the "Legend" client and logged on to his account, the screen went black and then slowly lit up again, and the white-robed Taoist priest "Linchuan Muyu" appeared in the game, and at the same time, a large summoning order appeared on the gang channel, calling for the brothers of the "Iron Blood Brotherhood" located near Jicheng to rush to a certain place in the southern suburbs of Jicheng immediately, saying that there was a gang battle in the "Wind Soul".

Qing Muchuan, who has little interest in PK, has transferred his spawn point to Yicheng in the southwest region a few days ago, according to the agreement of the "Iron Blood Brotherhood" and "Wind Soul", the gang war between the two sides must not affect the southwest region, and they must not attack each other unless they are special reasons here, otherwise the two sides will hunt them down, so she can play the game quietly according to her own ideas in this southwest place, instead of fighting life and death every day when she goes online, fortunately, the "Tang Cat" and "A Sword Shock Kyushu" that they played together some time ago She came here so she wouldn't be too lonely.

This afternoon, Qing Muchuan has made an appointment with "Tang Maomao", and in the evening, he will invite a few more people to explore Fanru Mountain, which is five screens away from Yicheng, where they must go to a mission, it is said that they can find a hermit who lives in the mountains and forests, and they must obtain an item from the hermit before the task can continue.

After contacting "Tang Maomao" with private chat, Qing Muchuan added some supplies, and then rushed to the gathering point of "Tang Maomao" - Furulai Restaurant at the West Gate of Yicheng, where in addition to "Tang Maomao" and "A Sword Shocks Kyushu", there are two guys who have had a relationship, one is an archer named "Flowing Water Ruthless", and the other is a swordsman named "Tang Chop".

After greeting each other, in the sentence "Let's go" in the sentence of "Tang Maomao", everyone walked out of the west gate of Yicheng and began to march towards Fanru Mountain......
