Chapter 22: Childhood

Early Friday morning, Wanhua City business district.

Just after 8 o'clock, there was already a lot of people within a radius of 500 meters, and Gu Yun could only see a black crowd when he looked around.

Among them are office workers, old men and aunts, high school students, junior high school students, elementary school students, and plumbers who happen to pass by in bib pants.

After coming to this world, Gu Yun had never seen this kind of formation, and he felt that the expressions on people's faces might be comparable to those of the most fanatical believers of the God Clan.

"What is this? Large-scale believer exchanges? ”

Gu Yun whispered to An Ling, who also looked fanatical.

He didn't like such occasions, and in the past, their people were mortal enemies of the gods, and naturally became the target of the believers' crusades.

"Pretty much."

The noisy environment made An Ling have to pull her throat to let Gu Yun hear her voice.

At this moment, except for scalpers who resell tickets, most of them are avid fans of Ren Hell for many years, and her childhood was also thriving in the company of Ren Hell .

But this time is different from the past, Ren Hell has launched a revolutionary platform that uses VR technology and claims to open a new era of gaming.

"At today's press conference, you can experience a variety of new works, and this is an opportunity that you will never lose even if you skip classes or classes!"

An Ling couldn't hold back her excitement, as a standard game-type otaku, this X City press conference was exactly the same as a pilgrimage, and in order to coincide with the release of the new platform, many classic games have set up special booths.

It is precisely because the publicity is far greater than in the past, so the ticket price this time has also been fried to the point of more than 5,000 yuan, which can be described as a hard to find.

However, in such a desperate situation, An Ling found a way to enter without a ticket.

Volunteer!

Not only will you have the opportunity to learn the inside scoop of the game, but you'll also have the chance to draw the latest VR equipment!

"Did you skip work?"

Gu Yun was incompatible with the celebratory atmosphere in Wanhua Square, he couldn't understand the excitement of these people at all, and he didn't know what An Ling was excited about alone.

Instead, he felt that it was noisy and hot, and he wanted to go home.

Why don't you have this time to do something?

"How is it possible, I found someone to change shifts...... You've been wearing this face since just now, don't you have a childhood? ”

An Ling felt a little incredible, even if the family was poor, but the image of Pikachu and Mario should have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for a long time.

"Huh?"

Gu Yun responded to An Ling's question with a question mark on his head.

"Look at that, what is that?"

An Ling stretched out her hand and pointed to the giant advertisement hanging on the third floor of Wanhua Plaza, which showed Pikachu releasing his signature 100,000 volts.

"Rice...... Mickey Mouse? ”

Mickey Mouse is the only cartoon character Gu Yun can think of, before the financial crisis, this character was in the cartoon disc that Dad bought for Gu Tiantian, but that was ten years ago.

At that time, my sister was still a little girl who wanted to go home and watch cartoons as soon as she got out of school.

What's that cartoon called?

Mickey Mouse and Don ...... Hall......

Don Quixote?

The time is too long, Gu Yun really can't remember clearly.

"Don't talk nonsense."

An Ling looked around vigilantly, fortunately no one heard Gu Yun's wild words just now.

In this kind of gathering with extremely pure fans, people who can't even recognize Pikachu will definitely be executed as ghosts.

"What about your sister? Why didn't I come with you? ”

"She came back after class, and the school is going to analyze the monthly exam papers today."

"Is it time to analyze the exam papers? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”

I really don't have any courage at all.

An Ling couldn't help but complain, thinking that when she was in school, if she encountered a press conference held in X City, she would definitely be the first to skip class to participate.

Even if there is no press conference, she can reluctantly skip the class in exchange for a fireworks party, a fan exchange party, and a same-sex dating party.

In short, it's not a parent-teacher meeting.

The price of becoming a bold girl is that her ass will be beaten by her old father after every parent-teacher conference.

"Or is it the job of the volunteers to maintain order outside the venue?"

In order to earn tuition for Gu Tiantian, he interviewed all the places near his home that needed people, and his volunteer experience alone was no less than 10 times.

Volunteers are usually short-term jobs, the longest is only a week, daily payment, and many activities also have a lunch at noon, which is Gu Yun's preferred way of working.

Because of those monthly checkouts, he basically can't stick to the day of payroll.

"No, this time it's a high-level volunteer! What we have to do is not just to maintain order, but also to play the role of NPC! ”

"Play as N...... N what C? ”

In Gu Yun's past dozen volunteer careers, he has never played the role of N or C.

Could it be that this is an advanced profession for volunteers?

"NPC, well, it's the equivalent of the village chief in the last game we played."

"Village Chief!"

Gu Yun's pupils shrank, and he hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't be kidding, I'm still young now, and I can't take on the heavy responsibility of the village chief at all!" ”

Can the village chief make fun of it?

That's more important than the Elders, and every decision could be an important person for the survival of their clan!

"I'm just making an analogy......"

An Ling couldn't understand why Gu Yun was suddenly so excited, but in retrospect, she seemed to have never understood Gu Yun.

Obviously the same age as her, but the style of what she says and acts like a person from another dimension.

This guy can't be an alien, right?

"Don't be nervous, the roles we play should be those ordinary little minions."

In every classic game, there will be classic minions, such as the well-known Team Rocket.

No matter how bad it is, Cos Marioli's ghost or Koopa is quite fun.

"The specific role to play is determined by lottery, and this is our volunteer ID."

An Ling shook her phone in front of Gu Yun.

The days of collective lottery are long gone, and now if you are hired, a random volunteer ID will be automatically generated, and after logging in to your account, you can directly draw lots online to determine your booth.

After the selection is successful, the notes and basic information of the booth will also be sent to the user's mobile phone.

"Well, doesn't it feel like a game? Here you go, you smoke. ”

"I'm coming?"

"I'm black-faced and I've never been very good at lottery."

To be honest, Gu Yun didn't understand what An Ling was saying, and he felt that An Ling's skin was quite white. However, he still followed An Ling's instructions, clicked the draw button, and the lottery machine on the screen spun quickly.

Pokemon

When she saw the results of the draw, An Ling cheered excitedly, and then patted Gu Yun's shoulder vigorously.

"You're actually European, aren't you?"

Mario and Pokémon were her two favorite booths, and they were also the two games that accompanied her the most in her childhood.

The details of the Pokémon booth quickly popped up on the screen.

"By the way, have you heard of this game?"

Before leaving, An Ling asked casually.

"I think I've heard of it." Gu Yun nodded, "Isn't it the game of slashing monsters with a knife?" ”
