Bang!

Closing the door of the toilet, Duan Qing copied the finished instant food on the table, and swallowed it before it was fully cooked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the 22nd century, instant food has developed quite maturely, but in any case, food that has gone through an unknown number of processes will not taste as good as freshly prepared food. However, the market for fast food still retains a high share, on the one hand, because they are suitable for the needs of a large number of busy people, and on the other hand, because of the ...... They are also very cheap.

At present, these two characteristics are very suitable for Duan Qing's life at this time, so he did not hesitate to choose these things as his rations for three meals a day.

While chewing food, while flipping through some important news on the Internet, this is what players like Duan Qing often do offline in addition to resting. Since the development of the virtual game industry, many people regard the game world as their second world, in addition to their daily work and life, they almost spend the rest of their time in this virtual world, and this phenomenon has become more common since the development of the industrial chain in the game world.

When the game world and the real world begin to exchange resources, a virtual society will truly mature.

However, since the development of the virtual game world, not all games can become a complete and mature world by themselves, and many games lack mature conditions, and even lack official support from the source. Since the popularization of the fourth generation of virtual technology, although the game world developed according to them has become more realistic, it has also become more independent, and the development of the world in the game is self-contained, and it is difficult to be influenced by players, so when the player's money, manpower and other forces cannot intervene in the development of a virtual world, the development law of this virtual world is difficult to connect with the real world, not to mention the opportunity of the industrial chain suitable for the majority of civilian players to "start from scratch and start their own business". The free world is a typical example of this type of game, the development of the world line in the game is extremely independent, whether it is NPC or system identification, it is difficult for players to make their mouths, so this game is real and hot until now, Duan Qing has never heard of anyone who can make a windfall in the game and then become rich in the world.

But that's okay - those games with mature industrial chains all collapsed in the end because of the monopoly of capital and the dominance of one family, and the "corpse" told them that games that can be invested by money can only make a profit in the end.

As a gamer who loves games, Duan Qing naturally doesn't want to see good games eventually come to an end, so he likes to hear about the "survival problem" in the free world. Even for those large guilds, it is naturally unimaginable to maintain the lives of hundreds or even thousands of members, and their ability to survive to this day is not unrelated to the heritage of their big guilds, in addition to the "do-it-yourself, abundant food and clothing" of the team members. Therefore, the superficial scenery of the big guild can at most bluff the new player crowd, and for veteran players like Duan Qing, there is almost no difference in the degree of difficulty in surviving in a game like Free World.

However, if it drags on for too long, the situation may be a little different.

There is very little offline time every day, so Duan Qing took the opportunity to supplement the nutrition of this real body to rummage through the information he was interested in, and at the same time, it could be regarded as a vacation for himself who had been struggling to survive in the game and enjoy some leisure time. However, there was a purpose for this visit - since he heard about the subsequent development of Fenghua Town from Mengzhu, he had become very interested in the reasons behind this development. In his brief reflection, Rama's death was well deserved, but the reasons for his death, and the impact it had on their little adventure group, could have been very far-reaching.

Of course, he is not as worried about his future as Mengzhu, and the possibility of that suspicion is too small.

Ten minutes passed, Duan Qing flipped through several large forums, except for someone mentioning the scene of Jian Beidong's duel in Fenghua Town, and a series of chaotic battles that took place later, there were few follow-up reports on the Internet, only in today's news section, someone mentioned the news that the mayor of Fenghua Town had died. Those who do good things have only guessed about the conspiracy behind this death, and the benefits that players can get from it, and as for more reasons, or the possibility of a murderer other than Kim, no one can say a thing or two. However, Duan Qing knew in his heart that there must be someone who understood the truth behind this result, not only because he was in it and knew the truth of some things, but also because of the other parties he met today.

That code name, Ah Qiang, he didn't know it at first, but now that he thinks about it, he must have known something before he wanted to go to the capital to develop.

Shaking his head helplessly, Duan Qing crossed out the web page casually, stood up and threw the packaging box in his hand into the garbage channel, and then walked to the window, looking at the night sky outside that was illuminated by modern lights like daylight, and slowly calmed down. Due to various developments in the real world, it is difficult for people to see the beautiful starry sky simulated by the virtual system, but only when he looks up at the real starry sky, Duan Qing can feel the insignificance that belongs to human beings.

In any case, I'm just a person now.

Time didn't allow him to stand there and relax for too long, so he shook his head and turned around and walked over to his game device. Before entering the game, he crossed out all the secret chats on his account - in recent times, more and more people have been sending messages to him, including some of his former rivals and friends, but as usual, he ignored any of them.

Now that I think about it, the only person in the free world who has really talked to me in this way seems to be the woman who is walking with their team for the time being.

He smiled and got into the game.

***************

After a transition as usual, Duan Qing opened his eyes.

It was also a dark night, Duan Qing, who was lying in the tent, did not feel the slightest darkness, there was a bright starry sky above his head, and there was a burning bonfire next to him, it was difficult to see anything in such an environment. However, such a bonfire is also necessary, according to the words of Snow Spirit Phantom Ice, entering the range of Taloon County is like entering a high-level map, if you don't use some means to drive away the darkness and protect yourself at night, those mutated monsters are not easy to deal with.

Of course, she herself said that no matter how strong the wild monsters here are, they still seem to be a little worse than places like the Emerald Forest.

Rubbing his eyes and walking out of the tent, Duan Qing looked up at the surroundings, and then couldn't help but yawn loudly - players in the free world also need some necessary rest, otherwise even if your nervous system can withstand the high-intensity game life, the system will also give your character some state punishments, although those small attribute reductions and physical strength reductions will not have a great impact on the player, but for masters, they are still very sensitive to this little bit of difference, Not to mention that these discrepancies are not explicitly written on your character board - these nuances are also the result of the tireless efforts of past players in the free world, and they are all people who are highly aware of subtle data, and they are all the best in the game, but they are also suffering enough because of this hidden premise.

Because those who love to study games are certainly not people who like to waste their time sleeping.

Stretching his waist and moving from side to side, Duan Qing looked at the beating bonfire, and then opened his sleepy eyes a little boredly, trying to carefully observe the fire that kept swaying in front of his eyes.

"Is the fire in the free world the same thing as the magic of fire?"

The other members of the team were all asleep, and Duan Qing had no choice but to squat in front of the campfire, boredly studying the problem that had been studied in the magic setting games of the past generations. It's a casual idea, but it's not a stupid question, and if you can understand it, it will not only be of great help to the player in learning magic, but also in understanding some of the rules in the game. However, the virtual world is virtual after all, no matter how many players write and how many articles, trying to find out the essence of it, it is ultimately just the original design of the designer, because of this, the design of this aspect in many games is different, some are superficial is an ordinary setting, and some require players to go deep into this game world to explore and discover the origin of the magic structure and world view to figure it out. Duan Qing naturally had a lot of understanding of this issue, but it was a simple design of early virtual games, and it was several years ago, and it was obviously not enough to use outdated experience to study the system simulated by the fourth generation technology.

On top of that, most of the players who study this kind of stuff end up in the endless whirlpool of "game-reality", and they are just idle and bored.

After seeing the bright yellow firelight for a while, Duan Qing wanted to reach out and touch the beating flames, but finally held back. In his mind, people who masochize themselves for the sake of doing such experiments are people who can't think of it, and he doesn't want to follow in their footsteps and make himself like a madman. But looking up at the sky and looking down at the ground, he had nothing else to pass the time except the fire in front of him, so he had to take out his short sword and stretch it out into the fire.

"It's not going to burn me out......" he whispered to himself.

The flames parted to the sides as the short sword stretched in, and then merged together again, nothing unusual seemed to have happened, Duan Qing stared at his short sword for a while, making sure that it would not be burned like a branch, so he stretched forward a little more.

The flames jumped in the direction of Duan Qing along the metal sword body.

As if frightened by the sudden jump, Duan Qing's hand shrank back, then shook his head and smiled, sighing at his fuss, he swung his sword over the flame again, looking at the fire that seemed to have been cut off by a sword, and then returned to normal, with a self-deprecating expression on his face.

"People, it's always ...... scare yourself"

He muttered to himself, and stretched his sword forward a little more—a leap of fire that followed the blade of the sword.

Shocked in his heart, but there was no change in his hand, Duan Qing looked at the flame that extended from the sword body, and seemed to be about to burn to himself, and slowly withdrew his hand.

The fire in front of me is back to normal.

As if he had discovered something surprising, the man sitting by the fire in the middle of the night, staring at the fire in front of him, holding a short sword in his hand, stretched and shrunk and fiddled. From time to time in the dark night, there is a low laugh belonging to a man, and I don't know what he is laughing at, but if this scene in front of me is seen by others, most of them will treat this man as a mentally ill player.

Unfortunately, there was indeed one person nearby who saw it.

"Poof."

Duan Qing jumped up like a rabbit and looked at the source of the sound, only to see the figure of the woman in the black cloak on a boulder not far away. The bright night sky was behind her high position, but it couldn't stop the two glittering lights that were shining from her black hood.

"You ......" In the cold wind, Duan Qing waved his hands and feet helplessly for a while, and then laughed slightly embarrassed: "Hehe, haha, you, you ......"

"Why didn't you sleep?"

"Because it's boring." A woman's still cold voice came from the boulder: "Just like you." ”

"Aha...... Hiss-"

Duan Qing wanted to alleviate this embarrassing scene by smirking, but he forgot that the sword in his hand had just been scorched by the flames, and he accidentally grabbed it with one hand.

In the man's monkey-like jump, the woman jumped off the stone and walked slowly to the fire, although the night wind was cool, but not very strong, so the fire also shook not very violently, the woman pressed her hood, thought about it and put it down, the cold and beautiful face, was hanging a mocking smile.

"I admire you." Then she said, "The Man of the Sunfire." ”

Duan Qing, who was already burned to his feet, almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"Okay, okay, no kidding." Seeing that the other party covered his hands and didn't know what to do, Xue Lingphantice no longer teased the other party: "Since everyone is bored, let's talk." ”

"I know what you were thinking."

"Oh?"

"That's the question, isn't it?"

"You know that?"

“...... I'm also a pro gamer. The woman walked to the fire and sat down on her knees with her sword in her hand: "So what should be known...... Still know. ”

"Hehe, hehe......" Faced with the grievance in those words, Duan Qing had no choice but to continue to deal with it with a smirk.

"Then ......" Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, the woman's eyes flashed, and she continued to ask: "Do you have any answer?" ”
