In 2024, holographic projection imaging technology has been flexibly used by human beings in all corners of social life. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

World of Warcraft also commonly uses holographic imaging helmets, as well as FlyVIZ's intelligent consciousness synchronization system for game operations. In terms of servers, the original servers that were separated from each country and continent have been merged into one server: the world server.

Gamers, on the other hand, do not need to operate manually, they only need to wear a game helmet to use their own consciousness to manipulate their game characters and enter the continent of Azeroth to enjoy the world.

And this story happened on an ordinary day in 2024.

Or rather, I used to think it was a normal day.

―――――――――――――――――――

Chapter 1: The Player Who Fell into a Nightmare (Part I)

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the wide streets.

I walked out of the bookstore and looked at my lonely shadow at my feet, the cold wind blowing, and I felt desolate.

Let's start by introducing myself.

My name is Gongsun Ruoli, female, the president of one of the top ten guilds of the world server, the "Land of Eternal Stars", and a standard otaku.

What the? How old am I, you ask?

Damn, you can't ask the age of a girl, don't you know?

Just a month ago, my ex-boyfriend asked me to meet, and although I had already guessed the ending, I still had a fantasy about going to the appointment.

In the familiar coffee shop, the man opposite took a sip of coffee and said lightly: "Let's break up." ”

I shouted in my heart not to, but I didn't even raise my eyes, and I replied lightly: "Okay." ”

The consequence of pretending to be cool and handsome is that the heart is depressed and very boring.

In order to find something to do and distract myself from the loss of love, I simply summoned many friends who used to play dungeons together, formed a group of 10 people, and threw myself into the competition for the first kill of the world server (Note 1). (Note 1: In the first kill, in the world server, the first to kill the new version, the final copy of the team, player name and guild name will be swiped on the public channel of the game server, and individuals and teams will receive a unique "server first kill" achievement, which is the reward of World of Warcraft for players and the highest honor for gamers.) ）

After two weeks of continuous reclamation, the ten-member group of "Starlight", under the leadership of the group leader "Foolish Smile", finally hit the front of this version of the closing boss.

Seeing that they were only one step away from the achievement of the "first kill", the members of the ten-person group were extremely excited.

At this time, it is the 20th anniversary celebration of World of Warcraft, and Blizzard has launched a new version of the spectator system, where all players can enter the spectator mode and watch the whole process of dungeon kills of other guild teams at will. So on the night of the first kill of the new version, the game was even more grand and lively.

The new quest has also been made to resemble the Roman Colosseum, with an open circular battle area in the center, surrounded by fan-shaped stands filled with spectators who have come to watch the quest's boss kill show.

On Friday night, I came home from work, hurriedly finished dinner, took a shower, and was wiping my hair with a towel, when the guild's QQ group rang "Didi".

"President, go online! We've been waiting for you for a long time! "The friends in the guild began to urge.

Sighed, put on the game helmet, and clicked on the World of Warcraft icon.

"Connection, World of Warcraft." I said silently.

"World of Warcraft...... Connecting......" responded in the voice of a nice cute girl.

The fog cleared, and the map of World of Warcraft, the continent of Azeroth, unfolded before my eyes.

"Choose, copy, Angela. Fallen dreams. "Clicking on the quest option immediately turns into a poster for the quest.

It's been two weeks in a row since I've been going online every day.

As soon as I entered the dungeon, I saw that the friends of the group of ten were already standing in the center of the dungeon's venue.

The hunter "Deng Wenyue" and the hunter "Crazy Smile" are playing pet battles, while the mage "Cheerilee Constant Sakura" is opening portals for the shaman's "Moon Rim", one portal after another, the light is almost like a vitality bomb, the milk rider "Dream Back to 2010" is chatting with another milk rider in the guild "Preferred Ending", discussing the new version of the knight's healing techniques, the warlock "Insulated Tempest" and the death knight "Chubby Girl" are jumping around next to the soul well, the death knight "Gloomy God" and the stalker "Yun Xiaohan" Fighting pk.

"It's all here?" I asked, looking around, coughing.

However, no one birds me......

I forgot to mention that I've always been a character who is easy to be overlooked, and I'm often complained about by my friends because of playing dungeon treatment strokes.

The temple is a little painful, when will this group of friends who seem to have a little ADHD be normal?

My in-game character, a "Restored Druid" of a race of Night Elves, is responsible for group healing in a team of ten.

So, in order to attract the attention of my friends, I simply released an ultimate healing spell "Tranquility".

"I brought life and hope." This skill was bound by me to the motto of the Red Dragon Queen, and it suddenly seemed very tall.

The entire dungeon's field was immediately covered in a brilliant light like flying fireflies.

Sure enough, my friends noticed that I was online and surrounded me.

"President, are you here?" The light lasted for more than ten seconds, and the members of the group all ran over.

"Well, have you arrived?"

"It's all here." The main tank (Note 2) Gloom came over. (Note 2: The main tank, the team's main tank in the game, is responsible for attracting boss aggro.) ）

"Okay, get ready, let's fight."

The Warlock "Insulating Tempest" summoned the Well of Healing, and the Shaman "Moon's Edge" set up a team feast of ten.

Everyone took the "healing stone" and ate a big meal again.

"Are you all ready?" I asked.

No one answered.

I took a deep breath and pressed the button to start the copy.

New copy: "Angela. The final boss of "Fallen Dreams" appeared in front of the group of ten, and on the left and right, the red curtains on the fan-shaped stands were slowly opened, and the spectators in the stands cheered.

"Wow, so many people, so nervous." The hunter "Deng Wenyue" looked at the number of people in the stands on the second floor, rubbed his hand holding the bow and arrow of the "Song of Flying Away", and sighed.

I couldn't help but look up at the black-pressed audience, and my heart pounded.

Actually, today, I'm not sure at all.

This is the third time this week that the group of ten has stood in front of this boss.

But the first two times, they were continuously extinguished until morale was low, and they had no choice but to disband.

It's not enough to say that it's just three things, and if you can't win this boss today, I really don't know what kind of blow it will have to the team.

The "Land of Eternal Stars" guild has only been established for five years, and it is still a very new guild, and most of the guild members are very young.

Although it barely ranks among the top ten servers in the world, compared to the uncles of the "Sunny Day" guild next door, there is still a lot of dungeon experience.

Moreover...... I looked back at my team, and the guild had been short of priests since I broke up with Darkherd's ex-boyfriend.

So I had no choice but to bring two hunters with a team of ten, and both tanks also chose Death Knights, because there was no shield (Note 3), and this team configuration was much worse than other top guilds. (Note 3: Shields are defensive tanks that can hold shields.) ）

And the reason why so many people came to see today was because the day before yesterday we were lucky enough to score the "Angela. The third stage of the Fallen Dreams dungeon's Finale Boss (Note 4). (Note 4: The final boss, the last boss in a dungeon, only by defeating this boss can the dungeon be considered to be completely cleared.) ）

At present, the guild that has entered the third stage of this boss is only "Starlight" and "Sunny Sky" next door.
