ps: Thank you readers for the big "Zhou Xinglie" and "Gao Lao Zhong" who voted for a chayexschayexs. monthly ticket to heaven respectively, thank you ^_^
Qian Hengtong is the owner of an Internet café, the name of the Internet café is "Explore the Internet Café", it has been open for more than ten years, and the computer has been replaced with chayexschayexs. But recently, Boss Qian has been annoyed, because now there are fewer and fewer people coming to the Internet. Due to the progress of science and technology, the computer production capacity has erupted, and now the computer is no longer a family luxury, it has become one of the essential electrical equipment for every family. Moreover, with the increase in the number of home broadband households and the increasing improvement of domestic Internet speed, the selling point and demand of Internet cafes are getting lower and lower. Now the main force of the Internet café is either school students, playing online games in groups, or migrant workers, they can't bear to be lonely, come here to chat on the Internet to vent or take advantage of the late night to watch "pornography" to quench their thirst. There is no way, if these people leave again, the Internet café will be yellow.
On October 1, 2013, it was a turning point in the mood of Boss Qian's career, and on the same day, he accidentally went online, and saw the old money of Jingdong Online Mall's main "virtual online game" equipment, and realized for the first time that this may be the turning point of the Internet café's resurrection. Looking at the price, he did not hesitate, and quickly placed an order for 120 sets of equipment and ancillary peripheral equipment, and thanks to the beginning of the Golden Week, Jingdong Logistics was still powerful, and received the goods the next day. That night, Lao Qian seriously experienced the "Second World" open several functional areas, immediately realized the value, the next morning, the exploration of the Internet café played the "to explore the Internet café, experience the virtual world" banner signboard, I have to say that this trick is very effective, soon the usual customers or passers-by, with doubts and novelty, walked into the exploration of the Internet café, and after coming in, in a short period of time do not want to go out.
Explore the inside of the Internet café.
"Watch out for enemy bullets!"
"Understood!"
"Can you see the enemy through the corner?"
"I can only sweep to a corner, as if the other party is hiding behind the iron box fortifications."
"Grenade attacks, and smoke grenades, be careful not to be too strong!"
"Understood, look at me!"
I saw a player in the game, very humanely, rubbing against the root of the stone wall, touching the corner, half-bending, and using his hand to remove a grenade from the hook of the clothes on his chest, like in the real world, pull the fuse, delay for a second, and then "blindly throw" it along the corner of the wall.
"Smoke bombs, keep up!"
"Yes!"
"Boom! Rumble! (A second later, two explosions are heard on the other side of the passage)
"Jump over and shoot!"
"Brothers, come on!"
"Hit!"
"Tutu Tu Tu ~~~"
"Dada~~~~"
Ten minutes later.
"It's really enjoyable, and I found the feeling of playing CS again." At the end of the game, a player with a toy sensor gun in his hand took off his helmet and said.
"You're not right, it's much more fun than CS back then." Another player next to him also took off his helmet and answered while resting: "Although CS is doing a very good job, but a lot of movements are restricted, which is like this, basically you can do almost anything with your limbs, and everyone can see and understand my gestures, awesome!" ”
"There is a feeling of being on a real battlefield, and the sense of substitution is 'no cure'!"
"Haha, especially with an electron gun, it feels much more real than a mouse."
"It's just that this electronic gun is too much like a toy gun, and it's miserable to see the real thing."
"Come on, if it was an imitation gun, it would have been confiscated by the city management and the public security a long time ago, so how could there be any fun. In addition, the graphics in the game are very realistic, and when you fight, you automatically forget that you are holding a toy gun! ”
"That's right, hehe, you can't be too demanding."
"But I don't have a sight, so I still don't feel comfortable."
"Pull it down, it's a real gun, in addition to the sniper rifle has a sight, which one of you shoots on weekdays, the center sight in the CS appears, this can hone everyone's skills, do you think you should raise the gun high or right, snap~, purely by feel, willing to lose."
"Cut~~Stinky fart, stinky fart~~"
"Haha!!"
"Hey! It's almost time, are you still playing? ”
"Let's come for another hour, it's rare for everyone to get together, this is much more convenient and enjoyable than going to the suburbs to play field CS, do you have anything else to worry about?"
"No, no, come on, this time the enemy will change to the UK, the computer AI is good, it feels like they can deal with it quite like that."
"That's the elementary difficulty we chose, you can try the intermediate, advanced, professional and professor level, once a batch of deaths, the five of us combined, I'm afraid we can't do a Star-Spangled Banner professional soldier."
"Really?"
"Okay, don't be verbose, just give it a try, let's get started."
“ok!”
"I'm okay with that!"
On the same day, in Baoding City, Hebei Province, a pair of young men and women from other places who were working in Baoding were "pressing the road" at this time to spend their 11th Golden Week together.
"What do you want to do today?" The young man asked.
"Whatever, I don't have any good ideas anyway." The young woman looked indifferent.
"Do you want to go to the movies?"
"Pull it down, I just saw it yesterday!"
"So go to the mall?"
"Come on, just our salaries, it's still provincial, and every time I just look at it and don't buy it, I'm depressed to death."
"Honey, you can buy two of them once in a while."
"What to buy? A big shopping mall is eye-catching, how can the price be more than 1,000, and the discount will be 4 or 500, it is too expensive, so don't consider our rent and meal money? ”
"Then what do you want to do, I say one, you can't do one?" The man was a little displeased, but he still calmed down and asked.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoyanagi, I answered a phone call this morning, and I wasn't in a good mood." The woman also realized that her tone and words were a little rude, and opened her mouth to explain.
"What's wrong? Whose phone call made Bao angry? ”
"Hey~ Sister Chen, who is not yet the company, specially called this morning and told me that she and her husband will travel to France tomorrow and will take 3 days of annual leave, and they will come to work on October 11, and let me work for her for three days."
"Why did this provoke you, you don't want to do it?"
"No, you don't know this Sister Chen, she likes to show off when she has nothing to do, why did she travel to Bali today, and go to Thailand tomorrow to see the scenery. It's nothing to really let me work for her, mainly because of the tone she said when she told me that she was going to France, cut ~ proud, what's so great about climbing the Eiffel Tower! ”
"That's it~~" After listening to it, my boyfriend didn't reply, as if he was suddenly a little distracted, trying to recall something.
"Hello? What happened to you? ”
"Huh? I just thought of a brilliant note, you come with me. After saying that, the man grabbed the woman and ran to a nearby Internet café.
Ten minutes later.
"Second World? What is this? The girlfriend, who was already wearing the gear, asked inexplicably.
"Didn't Sister Chen go to Paris, France? We can also go, and we can also go to London, England and Munich, Germany, hehe, you can do it with me. The boyfriend "virtually" took his girlfriend's hand and came to the "earth" landscape in the various miniature landscapes of "Second World", where beautiful NPC girls were guiding the service.
"Hello, is there anything that can serve you, please select the following services?" NPC Beauty said.
"I want to travel!" The boyfriend said as he pressed the 'Virtual Tour' option.
"Okay, because it's the open beta period, it's only open to Paris, London, London, Germany, and New York, Stars and Stripes, you can choose your own travel location after entering, I wish you a happy time, Happy Golden Week!" The beautiful NPC was very enthusiastic about it.
"Thank you!" Although he knew that the other party was fake, it was just a piece of program code, but the young man still replied involuntarily.
After a flash of white light.
The two of them came to a city in an instant, only to see that the four-storey buildings around them were completely European-style, bright sunshine, clean streets, dark black Western-style street lamps, endless flow of people (played by computer NPCs), artificial fountains with water sprays, steeple churches, complex sculptures of Western mythological characters, and conspicuous triumphal arch buildings not far away.
"Oh my God! How can it be so real? The girl exclaimed, exaggeratedly.
"Haha, I can't imagine it, I once experienced it in an Internet café here, and it's very easy to get started. You see, all the surrounding buildings are marked with small green flags at the door, you can enter, such as the 'Louvre', you can enter to see all kinds of cultural relics and artworks, ordinary bookstores and small shops can also enter, but the things sold are not foreign, but domestic production of high-quality imitation goods, which when asking the clerk NPC, they will focus on prompting. But one thing, you see, there are also virtual rental shops here, and the last time I first came in, there weren't two yet, and now there are more than a dozen of them open. "The young man is very stinky.
"Yes, yes!" The girl nodded vigorously, and then couldn't wait to say: "Then let's go to the Arc de Triomphe first, then to the Eiffel Tower, and finally to the Louvre." ”
"Okay, listen to you~~"
After saying that, the two of them ran quickly towards the depths of the city.
Jinhai City, in an ordinary unit in a residential area in the city.
Liu He, 28 years old this year, was in college due to a car accident involving his parents, and both parents who were driving passed away (his grandparents died early). Although the insurance company kept its duty and paid him a large compensation of hundreds of thousands of yuan, coupled with the various passbooks left by his parents who were found from home one after another, as well as the two properties saved by his parents, Liu He could support himself without going to work after graduation.
But Liu He, who lost his loved ones, began to close himself after graduating from college, in addition to collecting rent and buying some necessary daily necessities, he basically stayed at home and did not go out, and after 5 years, he developed his taciturn character. Now his only entertainment is surfing the Internet, playing games, and numbing himself with the thrill of electronic heroin.
Two days ago, Liu He, who was browsing the news of online games, saw the news of virtual online games, and he was somewhat excited, so he immediately placed an order on the first day of sales, bought equipment, and entered the game as soon as possible. However, it's a pity that naval combat games are not his cup of tea, and he just doesn't like it too much. Liu He, who was depressed after playing for a while, finally decided to temporarily quit "Second World" and log back in after the Xianxia section was launched. As a result, providence made people, and by chance, he was about to quit and discovered a function that "Second World" provided by him that was extremely useful and important to him - "companion".
In the rules of "Second World", players are allowed to customize the virtual "companion" character, as a partner or companion, grow with the player, of course, there is a limit to the number, only one is free, if you need more, you need to pay. For ordinary people, one big grin is enough, it doesn't matter. But when Liu He saw the description of the function, he was suddenly excited, because it was clearly written in the description that "you can scan and upload photos and set up a character image with reference".
It took two full days, Liu He in addition to the necessary rest, "Second World" for the same account, limited to a maximum of 12 hours a day online, to prevent Internet addiction, Liu He did nothing else, uploaded the photos of his parents, the system scanned and calculated by itself, generated the initial 3D character design, he bit by bit, as if treating the most important treasure in life, fine-tuned the initial character design one by one, and tried his best to recreate the appearance of his parents before his death, and use the audio capture function provided by the system to make the voice of his parents in the DV at home, Grab it and become the standard tone of your own "partner". Today is the hard work of the past two days, and it is finally about to usher in the moment of inspection. After the last step, Liu He clicked the "OK" button, and then entered the virtual room arranged according to his home in reality, and saw two "familiar" figures standing in the house.
"Dad! Mother! Liu He's tears couldn't stop flowing down and shouted loudly.
"Liu He, welcome home!" The two familiar figures, according to the lines designed by Liu He earlier, replied with the voice that Liu He had listened to for 23 years and had already engraved into his head.
