Volume 1 The Old Days for the New Chapter 2 The Trials
The name of the game is tentatively titled "Heavenly Battle Arena", and in essence, it is a video game.
No one has heard of the game except for the people involved, as it is an internationally classified project.
That's right, this game is not unique to one country, but a game developed by many countries around the world, and it has no closed beta players, open beta players, only invited players.
These players were selected from all over the world, and the total number of players selected was set at 1,000, and the exact selection criteria were unknown. For each country involved, a certain number of special players will be selected.
However, the total number of players initially selected in the world is far more than 1,000, because each country has to conduct a selection tournament in advance, and some of the initial pre-selected players will be eliminated, and the remaining elites will be recommended to the international arena.
In other words, the players who stand out after the selection competitions in various countries add up to 1,000 people.
This is all the information he knows after Jiang Ling agreed, and he is currently one of the players who want to participate in the CN regional selection competition.
Yes, no doubt he agreed.
He also didn't believe that there really was anyone who could cure this disease on his body, which was defined as an incurable disease by medicine, but people were lucky, especially for people like Jiang Ling, who had no way out, he was more willing to choose to give it a try.
Of course, the most important thing is that Jiang Ling thinks that this time the game should be very interesting.
With only one year left to live, it is a good experience to be able to participate in such an unclear game, even if you can't cure your terminal illness in the end.
After the professionally dressed woman explained to Jiang Ling, she took Jiang Ling out of the small closed room, but before leaving, she put a black hood on Jiang Ling.
"I said that's how you treat patients? Not friendly at all. Jiang Ling could only follow the woman's guidance in the dark, and complained with some dissatisfaction.
The woman's flat voice came: "This is not a hospital, of course, if you think it is more friendly to stun you again, I will satisfy you." ”
Jiang Ling was choked enough, so he had to ask, "Where to take me now?" ”
"Go eat and rest."
"That's pretty much it." Jiang Ling couldn't see anything in front of him, his left hand waved casually in front of him, and he asked again, "What about my body?" ”
"We're putting it away." The woman replied, "After the tryouts, no matter how successful or unsuccessful, it will be returned to you, don't worry." ”
"When does the tryouts start?"
"There is still one hour until the start of the tryouts."
At this time, Jiang Ling felt that he should have walked into an elevator, and from the feeling of weightlessness that came, Jiang Ling knew that he was going upstairs, but it was difficult for him to feel that the elevator had risen a few floors. Hearing the woman's answer, he asked with some surprise, "Starting the game so soon?" ”
The woman replied, "Yes, every ten players you find, you can prepare to start a tryout." ”
"It turned out to be a game of 10 people, 5v5?" Jiang Ling muttered, but he felt that the woman didn't mean to answer, so he asked again: "I have agreed to participate in the competition, and you still don't tell me what type of game it is?" Is it a competitive class? Shootout? Or is it a character adventure? It can't be a casual puzzle, right? Lianlian? ”
Listening to Jiang Ling's chatter, the woman frowned and said, "I found that I really should have knocked you out and then take you to action better." ”
"Cold-blooded, too cold-blooded." Jiang Ling sighed lightly, and then turned to say, "By the way, you haven't told me your name yet. ”
"You can call me 41, and since you've agreed to participate in the game, I'm your contact." 41 Thus answered.
"Fourth aunt?" Jiang Ling thought that he didn't take advantage of it like this, and then the next moment his hood was lifted, he thought that the woman couldn't help but slap his mouth, so he couldn't help but cover his face with his head sideways.
It seemed as if he was coercing to dodge the attack, but in the process of turning his head sideways, Jiang Ling quickly glanced at the environment around him.
It was still a small room, the walls had a dark silver metallic luster, and behind Jiang Ling was the door, which they had just walked in from, but it was already closed at this time.
Then Jiang Ling turned his face again, glanced at the front, and set his eyes on 41 again.
41 looked at Jiang Ling, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "I thought you were really heartless, but I didn't expect you to be quite alert, but unfortunately, even if you are an agent, you will not find anything from the current information." ”
Jiang Ling shrugged his shoulders and sighed, "Count you ruthless." Then, Jiang Ling unceremoniously bypassed 41 and sat on the chair behind her, while on the table in front of her, a bowl of braised pork noodles and a glass of water were already on the table.
"So-so." Jiang Ling muttered, and then began to eat.
Can rice be poisonous? Jiang Lingcai would not consider this naïve question, if the other party wanted to kill him, he would have died a long time ago. I haven't eaten breakfast yet, I'm already hungry, and I'm not going to be polite.
41 couldn't help but praise Jiang Ling's atmospheric performance at this time, and she said, "Take a break after eating, and then you're ready to enter the game." Questions about the game need to be explored by yourself, and how much you can explore depends on how far you can go. ”
In this lounge there are three doors, the one except the entrance, and the other two, one for the bathroom and the other for the games room. After Jiang Ling had eaten and rested for a while, 41 opened the door to the game room.
Jiang Ling couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that it was a single bed-sized, made of metal, like a space capsule: "Game cabin? ”
For Jiang Ling, who loves games, the game cabin is not an unfamiliar word, but it is indeed a strange thing. He knew that the game pod was a necessary piece of equipment for engaging games.
The mental immersion game is to implement the consciousness and perception of the human body to the data level, and put people into the virtual world composed of data, and the final effect is a bit similar to dreaming. Your body has not changed, but your "person" has entered the virtual world.
But this kind of technology has always existed only in the concept, and I have never heard of it being able to do it with the current technology.
But the moment he saw this game cabin, Jiang Ling inexplicably firmly believed that what he was about to do was such a game.
……

[Welcome, Heavenly Battle!] 】
……
Jiang Ling's body appeared, he looked down at his body, could not suppress the shock and excitement in his eyes, and said to himself: "Is it so amazing? ”
Unexpectedly, the mental immersion game technology has been successfully developed, and it is such a game that I participated in. At this moment, Jiang Ling believed that his decision to participate in this game was correct, and even had a hint of hope that the person behind the game would be able to help him cure his terminal illness.
After a brief shock, Jiang Ling calmed down and began to observe his situation cautiously.
Now that he has decided to participate, and since he has entered the game, Jiang Ling has to show a serious attitude as a senior player.
He was not wearing a real-world outfit, but a very old gray linen suit, with a pair of brown and yellow leather boots under his feet, which looked like a common man in medieval Europe.
"This sense of age shouldn't be something from the age of technology, is the game set in the Middle Ages? Age of Magic? The era of Xiuzhen? Jiang Ling muttered to himself after a brief inspection, and then raised his head to observe the surrounding environment.
His birthplace is the edge of a forest, in front of him is a wooded, green forest, behind him is a meadow, not far away some gravel, because there is no shelter, you can see at a glance, Jiang Ling saw that behind him farther back, about three hundred meters away, is a sandy beach, past the beach, naturally is the sea.
"So I'm supposed to be on the edge of the island." The loading prompt of the system indicates that this is an island called Dongwu, and the prompt information of the system is naturally not to be questioned. Jiang Ling didn't rush to move, he still stood in place and carefully observed the surroundings, because years of experience in the game told him that the spawn point of the game was generally relatively safe. It is very irrational to move rashly without understanding the situation.
"Is it a survival battle for ten people in separate formations?" Jiang Ling glanced up at the position of the sun, confirmed that his position was the west of the island, and continued to think: "It seems that it is a competitive game with a high degree of freedom, and it does not give too many hints, and it may not be that there are so many things that need to be explained. ”
"If the game ends with 5 people alive at the end, then if I find a place to hide and wait until the other players have almost killed it, it will be over. But... There will certainly not be such a bargain to pick up. Jiang Ling believes that this kind of seemingly opportunistic shortcut is absolutely undesirable, otherwise the selection competition will be meaningless.
Since it is a battlefield, it must be a war.
"First of all, this island is very small, and there is definitely not so much room to hide. Second... There must be some reason why players are going to war with each other. ”
After thinking for a while, Jiang Ling began to try to raise his hands and kick his legs, and jumped back and forth, finding that his physical attributes were similar to usual. He tried to use his mind to open the package or bring up the character's properties panel, but was unsuccessful.
Jiang Ling didn't know if this game didn't have the options that almost all games must, such as packages, attribute panels, and tasks, or if it was not the right way to transfer himself. But he's sure he doesn't see any of these features at the moment.
"What is this? There's no health or a package, so it's still called a game? Jiang Ling sighed lightly speechlessly, but he knew very well in his heart that this was a game, not a wilderness survival show.
So he decided to get into action.
"Even if you don't have a package or a character panel, since it's a game, it's almost necessary to have equipment, skills, and potions, but at the moment I don't have anything, and my physical functions are completely based on my actual physical condition... Well, my terminal illness shouldn't replicate in. If you only rely on this state to fight, then it's OK to just find some people who know martial arts to come in, and it has nothing to do with me. ”
This situation is naturally impossible.
"Since it's a game with such a high degree of freedom, the first thing to do in a game with a high degree of freedom is to explore."
The direction Jiang Ling walked was not the forest in front of the spawn point, but the coast behind him. The reason why you go to the coast first is because in a game with a high degree of freedom, exploring the map is, of course, the priority is to explore the edges.
And it also makes it possible to avoid contact with other players as much as possible until nothing is found.
"As long as you find something first, you can gain an advantage, and it stands to reason that near the spawn point of this kind of game, you can find some necessary items."
Jiang Ling walked to the edge of the beach, looked at the golden coast, the soft and humid coast, and the coast with nothing, and couldn't help but sigh heavily: "What is this called?" ”
Just as he turned to leave, a wave came over and slowly retreated.
Jiang Ling stopped and looked at the shore, and something reflected the sunlight and shone on his face.
