Summer 2028, morning.

Imperial Capital, Splendid Game Studio.

"Zuo Yang, standard game helmet."

The proprietress Chen Yi read out the last name on the performance report, looked helplessly at the short-haired young man who came forward to receive the game equipment, and sighed, "Zuo Yang, taking advantage of the open beta of the holographic game "Dajianghu", which is completely different from those previous computer games, I will give you the last month, if you still can't guarantee the gold task this month, then there is really no way......"

At the same time, a burst of ridicule and ridicule against the short-haired youth sounded around unexpectedly:

"Boss, this product has been in the studio for two months, and he hasn't completed the guaranteed gold task for eight consecutive weeks, what kind of helmet will he be given?"

"That's it, the games that used the mouse and keyboard to control them were all played badly, and now let him join us in the world's first holographic game, does he have the qualifications?"

"The proprietress is also soft-hearted, isn't it over if you fire it directly?"

"And the face to get the helmet ......"

During the discussion, Zuo Yang's white face began to flush slightly, and the outstretched hand hesitated for a moment, but finally held the simple game helmet on the table in his arms.

Even heroes have times of shortness of breath, let alone Zuo Yang.

If he is allowed to leave this studio with food and accommodation immediately, I am afraid that he will soon not be able to afford to eat in a place like the imperial capital, let alone a place to live.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Probably because he didn't want to embarrass Zuo Yang too much, Chen Yi clapped his hands to control the scene, and then changed the topic and said loudly, "The first server of "Great Jianghu" will be opened on time at 2 o'clock this afternoon, I don't need to say more, right?" Hurry up and adjust your condition, I'll go buy some food, we'll have a good meal at noon, and then we're going to have a big job. ”

Smiling, Chen Yi finally made the next arrangement, picked up the car keys and walked outside amid the cheers of everyone.

"The hostess stays."

Zuo Yang suddenly stopped her at this time.

"Anything else?"

Chen Yi wondered, and the others also looked over.

Zuo Yang's face was embarrassed, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Boss, if you are okay in the past few days, it is best not to go out, even if you want to go out, you must stay away from the vehicle...... Hiss! ”

Speaking of this, his brows suddenly twisted into pimples, and he cried out in pain while covering his lower abdomen.

"What's wrong with you?"

Chen Yi hurriedly came over, and the faint aroma on his body wafted in the air.

"I'm fine......"

Zuo Yang gritted his teeth and held on for a while, waited until the pain was slightly relieved, straightened up and walked outside, while instructing again with a serious expression, "Boss, remember what I just told you, stay away from the vehicle!" ”

"What......"

Looking at his departing back, Chen Yimei's eyes were full of puzzlement.

The members of the other studios were also surprised: "There won't be anything wrong with this thing, why is it inexplicable?" ”

……

A few minutes later.

The proprietress Chen Yi had already gone downstairs to the car parked on the side of the road.

"Chirp! Chirp! ”

Unlock, get in the car.

Chen Yi fastened his seat belt, but suddenly remembered what Zuo Yang had just said in his mind.

"Stay away from vehicles...... What does that mean? But listening to his tone at the time, it didn't seem like he was making fun of me, and he didn't have the courage to do so. ”

Some things can't stand pondering, the more pondering she has, the more Chen Yi feels uneasy, "Forget it, I won't drive today, it's not far away anyway, so let's exercise." ”

Thinking like this, Chen Yi unfastened his seat belt and got out of the car, and walked along the pedestrian crossing towards the vegetable market.

As a result, it was only a few steps away.

"Squeak——!

A screeching sound of brakes came from behind him.

"Boom!"

Another loud bang.

She was taken aback and hurriedly turned around, only to see that an off-road vehicle had crashed into her car without warning, and it was impartial, just hitting the driver's door, and the door had been recessed!

Looking at the red-faced driver in the off-road vehicle with a confused look, it was obvious that he had drunk a lot of alcohol.

As you can imagine, if she had just been in the car......

“……”

Standing in place, Chen Yi suddenly felt a cool breath in his vest, and he was even more afraid in his heart, "Zuo Yang, I believe in your evil, I have to sew your god-like crow's mouth when I turn around......"

……

Meanwhile.

"Ahh

Zuo Yang, who was standing on the windowsill and watched this thrilling scene from beginning to end as if he had the ability to predict, suddenly sneezed, but he also breathed a long sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his pale face, "It's okay......"

Only he knows that what he told Chen Yi just now was not nonsense, but a natural opportunity to see through physiognomy, and he was actually a descendant of a physiognomy master.

The so-called physiognomy is also known as physiognomy.

This is one of the ancient Chinese techniques, which uses people's faces, facial features, bones, complexion, posture, hand prints, etc. to speculate on good fortune and misfortune, and the face of the noble and lowly and the long-lived.

Let's take Chen Yi as an example, she is actually a young lady with a good face.

The face shape is perfect, the facial features are neat, the six Yao are complete, and the twelve signs are upright, if there is no accident, this life will be happy and complete.

It's a pity that just now, Zuo Yang suddenly found that the location of Chen Yiminggong (Yin Hall) was faintly revealing a faint black, and this black was just connected with the Baoshou Officer (eyebrows), and the sudden vision in this indicated that she would suffer a car accident in the short term.

If others were like this, he would have chosen to turn a blind eye.

Because ordinary people only know that the phase master is straightforward and straightforward, but they don't know how dangerous this business is.

You need to know that the Dao Breaking Heaven is going to suffer the retribution of the Heavenly Dao!

But Chen Yi is different, this young lady is very good, even if Zuo Yang has no talent in games, she has never felt sorry for him, but has taken care of him in some aspects, otherwise it would be impossible to give him another month in this situation.

The tingling sensation that came from Zuo Yang's dantian just now was the slightest of the many retributions, which meant that his life had been reduced because of this.

And his deceased grandfather is a living tragic example, the old man showed people a lifetime of appearance, told countless heavenly opportunities, saved countless people in danger, but in the end ended up alone, deaf and lame, not to mention, three sons died early, and his wife died of illness before he was 40.

If it weren't for Zuo Yang, who was adopted by the old man, and after adopting him, he didn't look at people again, I'm afraid he wouldn't have escaped his fate.

Although the old man didn't show people his face later, he didn't want to lose his skills, so he taught them all to Zuo Yang, but he often took his own life as an example and forbade Zuo Yang to perform physiognomy easily.

It wasn't until half a year ago that the old man knew that his time was running out, so he called him to the bed, looked at it for a long time with chaotic old eyes, and finally told him with the only remaining strength: "After I die, you will go to the imperial capital to explore, your opportunity is there, everything will happen and go as you like, remember to remember......"

After that, the old man drove the crane west, and his body turned into dry bones in front of Zuo Yang in an instant!

According to the old man, the more important the heavenly opportunity is, the more serious the heavenly retribution will be.

At that time, he thought that the old man would tell how much of a heavenly opportunity he would get this evil retribution, but when he came to the imperial capital with longing after dealing with the aftermath, the skinny reality immediately poured a basin of cold water on his face.

He first traveled to the major recruitment sites for four months.

As soon as the interviewer heard that he only had a high school degree and no work experience, and his body looked a little thin, even if the interview was for the physical work of moving bricks, the other party usually just coldly dropped a sentence of "go back and wait for the notice", and then there was no follow-up.

Later, because the old man left him little savings, and the rent in the imperial capital was expensive, when he was gradually stretched thin, he finally found a game studio that had no requirements for academic qualifications and work experience, and the most surprising thing was that this job also included food and accommodation.

As a result, due to the lack of play in the previous games, he had no talent in this area, and finally developed to the current field that is about to be swept away.

"Alas, did the old man show me an illusion, what kind of chance is there here, it's true that I'm about to live on the streets......"

At this moment, Zuo Yang's heart was already a little shaken.

It's a pity that the healer doesn't heal himself, and the same is true for the physiognomy master, who just looks in the mirror and thinks that his physiognomy is actually quite good in all aspects, but he can't see anything more in any case.

"Anyway, try again, if you are destined to not be able to eat this bowl of rice, you will have to use the last bit of time to find another way, but what else can I do besides show people?"

Zuo Yang was very confused, he naturally didn't want to follow in the footsteps of the old man, but he didn't know how to go in the future.

Go with the flow, go with the flow?

It's easier said than done......

……

There is an old saying in the Celestial Empire, called: "When a monk hits the clock for a day." ”

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, even if Ren Zuoyang was confused, he still obediently lay on the bed and put on a game helmet.

"System Detection ......"

"First login, pupil scan, facial features scan, only hairstyle adjustment ......"

Generating character ......

"Please name your character ......"

Aside from a few special scans, the login method is the same as in previous games.

A few seconds later, Zuo Yang appeared in a novice village called "Forget Worries Island".

I touched my face and body, and walked two steps and jumped twice in the crowd, which was really no different from acting in reality.

Even his face and body shape are the same as in reality.

"It's amazing!"

Zuo Yang lamented the omnipotence of modern technology, but in the golden age when the service had just opened, even as an unqualified gold minger, he knew that now was definitely not a good time to waste time and express his feelings.

"Hurry up and do novice tasks first, and try to widen the gap with ordinary players to make money."

Zuo Yang's heart is like a mirror, and according to the task prompts, he shuttles through the crowded novice village like everyone else.

As a result, he finally took on a task, and just got into a relatively remote alley, a noise once again attracted his attention.

Zuo Yang followed the voice and looked over, but saw a tall male player holding an old beggar NPC, shouting angrily: "Give me back the money!" I thought you were an adventure mission, but you asked me for money 10 times, more than one time, and almost all of the 100 money that the system gave me at the beginning was given to you, why didn't you even let out a fart, and you still want it? You're a liar, pay me back! ”

Zuo Yang had studied the information on the official website in advance, and naturally knew that the so-called adventure mission in the mouth of male players was actually a special task in disguise.

As a major feature of "Great Rivers and Lakes", the official website has emphasized that this kind of task has a strong randomness, and will not appear in the form of a formal task, any player may encounter it at any time and anywhere, and the event and task rewards are also completely random, some may reward props, some may reward game currency, those who are unlucky, and may be empty of people and money, and even be punished and killed for it.

It seems that this player is the more unlucky kind and has encountered an adventure mission of a pit man.

His scolding was very loud, and he successfully attracted the attention of many passing players.

But everyone just showed sympathy and indifference, and then went far away to do their own tasks.

The small amount of coins sent by the system in the early stage is used to buy novice equipment or learn skills, which will directly affect the efficiency of killing monsters and doing tasks, and can only be regarded as unlucky.

"Poor baby ......"

Zuo Yang also shook his head, glanced at him sympathetically and prepared to leave.

"Huh?"

But this last glance made his raised leg retract again.

Because he saw something very different from ordinary people in his eyes:

This male player's face is round and a little blessed, and his facial features are quite neat, but it's a pity that the bridge of his nose is low and the tip of his nose is pointed, and his nose is in charge of the Wealth Palace, which indicates that he has bad luck.

But at this moment, there are two small bumps with a faint red light on the nose of this thing, one of which is located on the bridge of the nose and the other is on the tip of the nose, forcibly turning his low and pointed nose into a plump, shrugged and straight, which is a symbol of wealth and wealth, proving that this guy may have to make a windfall in a short time.

But it's a pity that there is a small black mole on the left side of the nose of this product, which is embarrassing, this is a leakage of wealth, which means that even if this windfall comes, it will still pass by him after all......

"This ......"

Zuo Yang was stunned.

At this moment, he suddenly realized a question that he had never thought of before-

Because it is a holographic game that is infinitely close to reality, it will present the player's appearance and figure in the most realistic way, so in the game, he can also give people a look!?
