Chapter 1: The Prosperous Age
Tick
Tick...
The rice bowls in the sink are gradually flooded, and the water droplets left from the faucet above drip into the sink in a rather regular manner, causing ripples.
The breeze outside the window continued to pour into the house through the cracks, and even the pots and pans on the hangers collided with the breeze to make a strange noise.
At this time, the kitchen is like a free pianist, playing the sound of heaven to his heart's content, but this "piano sound" is inevitably a little ghostly and wolf-howling.
Despite this, such noisy music did not wake up the owner of the house, and when I came to the kitchen, I saw that the cotton wool on the bed in the room fell on the pitted floor of the room, and the figure on the bed lay peacefully in the center of the bed, with his hands crossed on his chest, if it were not for the undulating abdomen, it was really like a corpse, and this sleeping position was really strange enough.
"Like the sun piercing through the night, the dawn creeps across the sky..."
The sudden ringing of the bell on the bedtable ran through the entire room, and the passionate male voice quickly pulled Lin Li back to reality in his sleep, Lin Li, who was lying on the bed, frowned, and wanted to turn over and sit up, but his tired body did not allow him to move for half a minute, so he could only grope along the sound source.
"Hehe, Brother Lin, brother, I didn't bother you." There was a grunge on the other end of the phone.
"Something?"
"It's nothing, just ask if you've eaten."
"Speak human words."
"Well... Where am I on the ladder? ”
"TMD, I just placed an order last night, just urge me today, you are a monkey." Lin Li couldn't smile bitterly.
The ladder list is similar to the ranking list, which is a symbol of the strength of "The Prosperous Dynasty", but Jiang Long, who was born with a handicap, also wanted to feel the eyes of being worshipped, so he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to find Lin Li to squeeze onto the ladder list, even if it was the lowest rank, he was satisfied.
"Isn't this the Qianqiu competition coming, if I can't get into the ladder list, I can't even get the qualification, I heard that the prizes in this competition are very rich, as long as the contestants can win awards, I can't miss such an opportunity." Jiang Long said anxiously.
"Alright, I'll take the time to get it for you, don't disturb my sleep again." Lin Li sighed, it was very uncomfortable for him to be woken up.
"Okay, brother, I won't bother you, I'll treat you another day."
"Slipped, slipped away..."
There was a beeping sound on the phone, the other party hung up the phone, Lin Li slowly put down the phone, got up and sat up, meditated for a while, and finally got out of bed very reluctantly.
In the end, I still can't escape the clutches of overtime.
In fact, Lin Li's family is not wealthy, since the end of the college entrance examination came to a strange big city to study in the city's university, fortunately, his own hard-working character, but also admitted to one of the top famous universities in China, in addition to the weekend part-time time, will also take some game lists, in order to earn living expenses.
Three years ago, if it weren't for an accidental experience, Lin Li, who was busy with his "career", would not have been able to contact the game "Shengshi Tu Dynasty", and it was because of this coincidence that Lin Li was able to embark on the road of "cultivating immortals".
However, this cultivation immortal is not another cultivation immortal, to be precise, it is a new type of VR game.
Due to the rapid development of the Internet, the network has also brought innovation to human beings, with the advent of the 6G era in the new century, AR technology is more mature, the virtual game world is more mature, similar to MoBo, FPS and many other games are eliminated, in order to allow players to have a more realistic game experience, Fantasy Company has developed a real AR game called "Shengshi Tu Dynasty", the game is no longer an ordinary relying on the keyboard to control the characters, and it has become the most realistic somatosensory game. It also tests the player's own physical fitness and their own coordination, making the game a diversified sports competition, "Shengshi Tu Dynasty" breaks the limitations of level and space, which is very in line with the trend of today's times, and truly realizes the integration of man and machine.
Once released, "The Prosperous Journey" became popular all over the world in less than a year, with the total number of players exceeding one billion, e-sports being selected as an Olympic sport, major well-known clubs around the world transforming and investing, and the popularity of the game continued to exceed that of football events, becoming a competitive sport in the new era, and the popularity of the game can be imagined.
And "The Prosperous Journey" is set in the world of Xianxia, focusing on the game type of science and technology fantasy world, and there are countless professions of all kinds, although the popularity of the game is very high, the price of VR equipment that can be purchased is also very expensive, and it is also a big burden for ordinary families.
Lin Li was a little confused, and gradually, his thoughts returned to reality.
"Forget it, let's hurry up and finish this order, I have to rely on this money to fill my stomach this month."
After washing up casually, my eyes fell on some handsome cheeks in the mirror.
"Time passes, but I'm still so handsome and handsome, I really don't know which girl will be cheaper in the future."
He is very narcissistic, but he is not wrong, God closes one window and opens another, although the family is not rich, but at least, he has a healthy body and a handsome face.
After hesitating for a moment, I finally decided to go out for a big meal, after all, I can't always eat instant noodles to satisfy my hunger... Bar...
Lin Li lives on the edge of the downtown area, although it is usually a little noisy, but the location is definitely not bad, there is everything to eat, drink and play.
Put on a thick coat out of the community, stand on the street avenue, the opposite side of the community is the center of the city, separated by a river on both sides, through the light screen under the street lamp, the promotional background of "Shengshi Tu Dynasty" is displayed above, even in the alleys on the street, game advertisements can be seen everywhere.
In today's information world, you can learn about game announcements anytime and anywhere, and on top of each high-rise building in the city, a towering holographic image is projected, and the virtual character is like a Buddha statue, shining in the sky of the city.
Looking at the white-clothed swordsman with his hands on the tall building in the distance, the corners of Lin Li's mouth showed a slight smile, even if he was more than ten kilometers away, Lin Li could feel the glory in it.
This is a big deal by a fantasy company, spending a lot of money to project the images of the 82 players on the god list of "The Prosperous Dynasty" on the highest floor of each city, which can not only play a good publicity effect, but also encourage players to move towards the highest point.
For players, who doesn't want their figure to appear in the sky of the city, saying that they don't care is nothing more than deceiving themselves.
A gentle breeze blew across his cheeks, and Lin Li quickened the pace under his feet, the surface of the city was always beautiful and immaculate, and it was a luxury to indulge in it for a moment, and if you overdid it, you would only be stuck in it and unable to extricate yourself.
Only this point is extremely profound in Lin Li's heart.
The bustling commercial district adds a touch of color to the harsh winter, and the crowd of people can't see the end, and the line of sight casually crosses the street, and finally enters a fast food restaurant that I am more familiar with.
"Boss Yang, it's still the same, add more eggs to Yangzhou fried rice." Lin Li sat down and shouted towards the counter.
"No problem, wait a minute."
The sound of kitchen pots colliding was much faster.
"Mouse, have you heard, last night's 'Night Rain Wind Listening' was squeezed off the god list by a fish head called what, and it only took less than ten minutes, my old baby with a hat is really eye-opening." A man in a cap next door was bragging to his friend.
"Is there such a thing? This 'Night Rain Wind Listening' is also a member of the god list, although it is only at the bottom, but it will not be defeated so quickly,"
"It's true, I can see it with my own eyes, you don't know how powerful that new player is, every time he makes a move, it's a deadly move, and his coordination may have reached more than 90%."
"You say?"
"Son!"
Lin Li couldn't help but smile when he listened to the boasting of the two people next to him, the degree of coordination that the two said was to judge the player's proficiency in the control of the game in "The Prosperous Journey", the so-called coordination is the synchronization between themselves and the game character, generally speaking, the integration of the player and the game character requires long-term training to reach a higher level, the higher the degree of coordination, the more flexible the control role, when the self and the game character reach more than 90%, it is like being in the "Prosperous Journey", not limited by space, on skills, Proficiency is even more advantageous.
Of course, it is not so easy to achieve more than 90% of the synergy, and in today's "Shengshi Tu Dynasty", only the top dozens of people on the god list can do it, and the 'Zhiqing' who is at the top of the god list has reached an astonishing 95%, and its combat effectiveness is also very tough.
"Do you think that this 'Night Rain Wind Listening' will be replaced as an elder in the Heavenly Sect?" The people next to him continued to gossip.
"Aren't you talking nonsense, there's no doubt that 'Night Rain Wind Listening' was kicked down."
"What if it doesn't change?" One asked rhetorically.
"He stepped down, what I said, Jesus can't stay, if he doesn't step down, I'll live broadcast a handstand and eat Ollie."
"This..."
The two of them were talking about the members of the Heavenly Sect 'listening to the night rain and wind'.
Sect.
That is, the guilds of the past, however, today's sects are different from the guilds of the past, in the prosperous era, they are respected by strength, that is, the rank is judged by the standard, and in the prosperous era, it is also like a fairy, so there are:
The Qi Cultivation Section, the Foundation Building Section, the Jindan Section, the Yuanying Section, the Out-of-Body Section, the Distraction Section, the Merge Section, the Tribulation Section, the Mahayana Section, and the Upper Immortal Section, and after that, it is the list of gods.
The God List, that is, the most difficult peak in the prosperous world, every player on the God List is undoubtedly at the professional level, or even better, so the difficulty of this is self-evident.
According to the news, this player became a professional player in less than a year after contacting the prosperous world, and this teenager was only sixteen years old.
"This year is again the most promising year for creation..."
Speaking of which, this player named 'Night Rain Wind Listening' also has a slight relationship with Lin Li, and he is also a member of the Heavenly Sect.
A few years ago, a friend recommended that he join Tianzong, not to mention the good treatment, for which he can also get a lot of benefits, of course, it is a good thing to be able to prostitute for nothing, for the leopard head "zero charge" of him, it is a big pie.
Because of this, Lin Li stayed up late every day to work overtime to brush pictures and materials, and constantly practiced operation skills, in order to receive the rewards after each painstaking effort, if it wasn't for the money, he didn't want to do it.
But the hard work pays off, Lin Li gradually jumped from a small monk who did not enter the stream to the second great god on the list of gods, and Tianzong, also under the influence of Lin Li, successfully ascended to the top ten sects of the national service, with his current strength, it is not a problem to sit on the position of the sect master or something, but this is not the life he wants, he is used to being free, he doesn't like to be implicated in trivial matters, if you insist on saying a reason, it is nothing more than no money.
Are you kidding? If there is a large-scale event, offline party or the like, he will not lose all his old capital, and the matter of paying for it will be handed over to others to do.
