It's a room, a room made entirely of metal. There were several people in the room, and a meeting was going on.

The reason for the meeting was that a question was raised.

"This is only the 27th game of the tryout, and twelve players have already broken the stone statue and each took an extraordinary item. And, the main thing is that even the apostles were released, which... Wouldn't that be a problem? "When a person speaks, that's his problem.

However, a voice replied solemnly: "Since we have decided to use Dongwudao as the first venue of the selection competition, and we have set up two stone statues for players to discover in each game, then players must be allowed to take the treasures inside, and there must be preparations for the taboo to be broken." ”

"However, this has not yet started the main game, and it has triggered such a world plot, is it too early? The strength of the apostle is too strong, and it has too much influence on the course of the plot. There is another person who cannot accept such a situation, and the reasons he says are also very powerful.

"That's right, the Apostle level has reached the peak of the plot of the early game, and players can't compete with it no matter what." The solemn voice spoke, and seemed to agree with the former, but everyone guessed that he was going to say a 'but'.

"But," he continued, "so what? This is not something we can control, and these 'accidents' have to be said to be part of the plot. Besides, although the apostle broke the forbidden limit, his strength was damaged, and he would have to cultivate for a long, long time before he really came forward, and what he was worried about must be things in that world, which would not have much impact on the player. ”

"Even if the appearance of the Apostle is considered part of the world story, will it affect the balance of the game if there are twelve players who have obtained a treasure of that level in the tryout?" The man who asked the question first asked.

"Is there an absolute balance in the game? Balance can only be relative. Since they have the luck to find the stone statue and solve the puzzle, they are entitled to take the contents inside. The voice was still so solemn and powerful, and he said, "Besides... Getting something of that level so early, who can be sure that it must be a good thing? ”

No other voice sounded, so the man continued: "How the world works, depends on the will of heaven, how the players play, depends on the creation and strength, let's not interfere too much. ”

"So what are we going to do now?"

"The next selection tournament will change the battlefield, and it is predicted that the national selection tournament will be completed in three days, do a good job of psychological work and monitoring of the finalists, and then let them prepare in advance for the real competition."

"They don't know what this game, or what this game is really about, but make sure they do their best to fight!"

"As for what they're really up against, let them go to that world and find it for themselves."

……

"Are there no prizes after the play-in round? Don't even have a certificate? Poor and sour, you will have it. Anyway, I've officially passed the selection, so I don't have an account password? Don't you need to bind your identity? Is there any newbie card, newbie gift pack, annual membership or anything? Jiang Ling sat in the lounge and asked with a glare.

Dressed in professional attire, young and beautiful, the beautiful staff member with number 41 also glared at Jiang Ling, ignoring the messy questions raised by Jiang Ling, and said angrily: "I should really give you a brain health check in advance, you seem to be sick." ”

"yes, I'm sick." Jiang Ling nodded indifferently with certainty.

"Get out." 41 Raising his hand angrily, he said categorically: "Now, I say, you listen! ”

"What tone, I want to complain..."Jiang Ling was about to say something, but he held back the following words under the angry eyes of 41, and could only roll his eyes and muttered in his heart: "Is there no standard for your company to select customer service personnel?" How do you talk to a respected player..."

However, Jiang Ling naturally knew that this 'company' must not be an ordinary organization, so the contact person in charge of himself in front of him was not a customer service crush.

After participating in a selection competition, Jiang Ling realized how amazing this game was.

From the point of view of the game experience, this game is really a bit powerful to the point of incredible, in Jiang Ling's knowledge, with today's level of technology, such a perfect holographic thinking game will not appear in front of the world until at least fifteen years later.

But now that I have played such a game, it can only show that the organization that created this game and supported the operation of this game is unimaginably strong in terms of financial resources and strength.

What kind of organization is it? Jiang Ling was a little afraid to think about it, and there was a little palpitation in his heart.

The nonsense he talked about before was just because he was nervous and said it to relieve the pressure.

I don't know if the woman with number 41 noticed this, she ignored the nonsense, but introduced it very directly: "First of all, congratulations on passing the selection competition and qualifying for the main competition. ”

41 The tone was so flat that Jiang Ling didn't listen to the slightest congratulations, Jiang Ling didn't pay attention to it, and listened to the woman continue: "Since you are sure that you are going to officially participate in the competition, there are some rules that you must follow. ”

"First, don't tell anyone anything about the game, about the game."

"Second, don't deliberately try to find out the actual information of other players."

"Third, don't peep into any information about the organizers."

"Fourth, don't be negative about the game."

"Fifth, don't retire."

41 When he had finished speaking of the rules, he said, "This is all the Lord." ”

Jiang Ling raised his hand with a serious face; "I'm against it."

41 With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked at Jiang Ling and said, "Opposition is invalid." ”

"Damn, whatthe hell is not allowed to quit the game? I'm on a thief ship. Jiang Ling protested dissatisfiedly: "Besides, I have other things to do in my daily life, I still have my own life, participating in the game takes up so much of my time, and I am not allowed to disclose my participation in this game to others, and I am not allowed to withdraw from the game, your rules and regulations are too much." ”

Unmoved, 41 explained, "After all, it's not like you're going to be in the game 24 hours a day, 7 times a day, maybe there's only one game every few days." You don't have to worry about having a new job or finding the perfect reason to solve the impact of participating in a game on your life, or even make your life better. ”

"As for not being allowed to quit the competition, the reason is very simple, that is, you have also seen that this competition is not for anyone who wants to participate, and naturally it is not for anyone to leave." 41 looked at Jiang Ling and said seriously: "What I want to remind you is that the meaning of participating in this game is several times more precious than you imagined. ”

"Oh... Since there is a comprehensive solution, I will say yes. To the surprise of 41, after listening to the explanation, Jiang Ling agreed. I only heard Jiang Ling say with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry to know what the significance of the bottom is, after all, this game itself is very meaningful and interesting to me." ”

It's very meaningful and interesting, and it won't have an impact on normal life, which is enough for Jiang Ling.

Although he only participated in the tryout tournament once, this experience made Jiang Ling fall in love with this game and was very satisfied with the shock that this game brought him.

In the only one year of my life, it is an exaggeration to say that I can touch such a game without regrets, but it is definitely pleasantly surprised.

So he smiled and asked, "When will you be able to play next time?" ”

Looking at his hopeful eyes,41 it was hard to imagine how this man could have accepted the whole thing so quickly, and even had a stupid look of endless fun. Because he couldn't figure it out, 41 had to shake his head and mutter, "The world of otaku is really incomprehensible. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Ling said angrily: "Damn, you tied me here, and then didn't let me quit." Lao Tzu found that he couldn't resist, so why not start enjoying it? ”

41 couldn't wait to sigh Jiang Ling's face, and said impatiently: "Go home now, I will inform you when the next main competition starts." ”

"How do you go back? Chauffeur-drive service? Jiang Ling raised his eyebrows.

Then Jiang Ling saw a playful smile on 41's face, and a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart, but he didn't have time to prepare, so... Fainted.

Seeing Jiang Ling faint on the chair, 41 still had a faint smile on his face, but in addition to banter, that charming smile actually contained a bit of appreciation and expectation in it.

"I hope you can go a little farther."

……

A glance, a familiar room, a familiar smell, a familiar sunlight spilling into the room from the window.

"I must have had a dream after I passed out, in which I saw a cold customer service and participated in an impossible game, and everything went back to square one after waking up, it must be." Jiang Ling sighed lightly and sat up from the bed.

He patted his face and comforted himself, then suddenly hiccuped, and suddenly there was a smell of braised meat in his mouth... It was a lo mein meal at noon...

"There's a lot of meat in the marinade." Jiang Lingba smacked his lips, and then laughed at himself: "That's not a dream." ”

Then he jumped out of bed and scolded, "Even if it's for secrecy, you don't have to do this, right?" Back and forth, fucking either wearing a hood or knocking out Lao Tzu, what are you doing, I don't want to lose face! ”

After a few more words, Jiang Ling felt a little more comfortable and went to the bathroom to start washing.

There is no doubt that since this morning, I have officially entered a bizarre plot that is difficult for ordinary people to access, and has become a special guest player of a game that should not exist.

If you win this game, will you really be able to cure your incurable disease as 41 promised?

Intellectually speaking, Jiang Ling didn't take it too seriously, but he still had expectations.

This is a rush for Jiang Ling to continue to live with enthusiasm, which is very important to him.

It's like a ship that has been lost and adrift at sea for a long time, and finally sees a light in the distance, then it must move at full speed, no matter what, it must be used as a beacon to guide you home.

What's more, this game is really my favorite.

It's both interesting and energetic, which is indeed a fortunate thing for a young man who only has one year left to live.

Could it be that this is your birthday present?

Jiang Ling raised his head, smoothed his bangs in the mirror, looked at himself in the mirror, smiled and said seriously: "Happy birthday, you short-lived ghost, you have to live happily." ”
