Chapter 1: Beacon Fire

"Welcome to the news program, first of all, I will introduce you to the main content of today's program, the President of the United States visited our country today and reached an important consensus on stopping confrontation and common development; The first law related to the virtual game industry, the "Virtual Property Protection Law", was officially passed and will be officially implemented from the first of next month. The State Council formally established the Virtual Industry Development Steering Group; Let's see more details......"

With a snap, the TV that was broadcasting the news broadcast was turned off, and he drank all the beer in his hand. Shang Ji stood up and walked to the window. Through the glass windows, the traffic on the streets is endless, and the neon lights flickering under the night sky are constantly reminding him that this world is completely different, and he has really crossed over.

Shang Ji is a traversing person, and according to the division of Dian Niang, he belongs to the soul piercing. What is more special is that he is anti-time-traveling, from the Great Qin Empire more than 2,000 years ago to the 21st century. Of course, from Shang Ji's point of view, he has traveled to the future.

In the Qin Dynasty, he was a tiger general who could fight well and made great contributions to the establishment of the Great Qin Empire. At the same time, he is also the confidant general of the First Emperor, the official residence Lang Zhongling, responsible for guarding the palace and protecting the safety of the First Emperor.

In the thirty-fifth year of the First Emperor, he accepted the secret mission of His Majesty the First Emperor - to prepare to go to the sea to slay dragons and find immortality. Later, he was convicted of opposing the first emperor's book burning and Confucianism and was assigned to the frontier, but in fact began to prepare for the dragon slaying incognito.

In the spring of the thirty-seventh year of the first emperor, after two years of intense preparations, everything was ready. Shang Ji led three thousand of the most elite Great Qin soldiers to the sea to slay the dragon. After some ups and downs, he finally found the overseas fairy island mentioned by Fang Shi Xu Fu and successfully slayed the dragon.

It's a pity that the sky did not fulfill people's wishes, and after the success of slaying the dragon, the thunder suddenly fell wildly, splitting Shang Jisheng into powder.

Shang Ji had already lost consciousness when the first thunder fell, and then he woke up again and came to the modern society of the 21st century. Possessed by a young man in his twenties who had been in a vegetative state due to a car accident.

Under the aura of the medical miracle of the vegetative awakening, all kinds of irrationalities when Shang Ji just crossed over were perfectly ignored. There are still precedents of vegetative awakenings around the world, but like Shang Ji, there is no case of being able to act normally after recovery, and the problems of amnesia and temperament change have become irrelevant in comparison.

After a week of observation in the hospital, Shang Ji was successfully discharged. As mentioned earlier, the original owner of this body became a vegetative person due to a car accident. Unfortunately, not only he was in the car at the time of the accident, but also his parents, who died on the spot when he was in a vegetative state.

Shang Ji's mother died early before the crossing, and he was raised by his father since he was a child, and when Shang Ji was thirteen years old, his father unfortunately died in Chang Yu's rebellion. Later, he went all the way to the south and the north to fight, but he did not start a family, and he was still alone before the Shang Ji dragon slaying crossed. After the crossing, the merchant also fed the whole family without hunger.

Forced to spend a week in the hospital for observation, Shang Ji was discharged after getting a preliminary understanding of the new world.

Thanks to the original family who have been reunited in Heaven, he left Shang Ji a large inheritance, saving Shang Ji from wandering the streets after the crossing.

Although he didn't have to worry about food and clothing for the time being, Shang Ji still felt serious discomfort. The completely unfamiliar social environment, all kinds of strange people and things in the eyes of Shang Ji, all of them are impacting Shang Ji's three views, especially after learning that the Great Qin Empire collapsed in just two years after Shang Ji crossed, this similar feeling of collapse of faith almost knocked down this battlefield warrior who had been hanging by a thread several times.

It took a whole month for Shang Ji to gradually come out of the shadows. Slowly start to get in touch with a new life.

Shang Ji's IQ is not low, and it is not enough to rely on force and loyalty to occupy a high position in the Great Qin Empire, whether it is in the court or on the battlefield, a reckless man without a brain will only be used as a gun. After the baptism of crossing, Shang Ji's IQ has reached a higher level. The speed of learning modern knowledge is very fast, and after more than a month, there is no obvious difference between ordinary modern people except for the seemingly taciturn look. He even developed the habit of watching news broadcasts on time every day.

"Beacon Fire? Looks interesting! ”

Muttering to himself, Shang Ji recalled the recent virtual online game that had become popular all over the world.

"Beacon" is a virtual reality game that combines strategy, adventure, war, and construction, and players can connect through virtual devices to experience the game with 100% realism. You must know that although virtual technology has developed rapidly in recent years, 100% realistic game technology is still a fantasy. If it were not for the joint guarantee of the United Nations and the five permanent members, "Beacon" would certainly have been treated as false propaganda.

The most amazing thing is that no one knows the developer of this game, only that it is promoted and run by the United Nations, and there was no rumor about it before the United Nations launched it. However, as soon as the game was launched, it attracted the attention of various governments, and various incentive policies were issued to promote the development of virtual culture.

The game has been launched for less than two months, but it has already had an all-round impact on the world economy, military, and politics. Because of this game, the increasingly fierce confrontation between China and the United States stopped; Because of "Beacon", mainstream countries in the world treat the virtual industry as an emerging pillar industry. All kinds of previously unthinkable things appeared in the table of the presidents of various parliaments and discussed in a grand manner.

This bizarre phenomenon has given rise to all sorts of conspiracy theories, such as aliens invading the earth, Yuri controlling the world, and governments trying to slaughter low-end populations...... There are all sorts of theories.

In response, governments around the world have been unanimous in cracking down on such conspiracy theories, even in the United States, which claims to be the freest country of speech. Far from dampening enthusiasm, conspiracy theories have fueled curiosity, and even the most backward African tribes in the world are vying to discuss Beacon Fire.

Coincidentally, the opening time of the "Beacon Fire" game happened to be the time when Shang Ji traveled to reality, before Shang Ji was first observed in the hospital, and then grieved by the fall of the Great Qin Empire, and never really paid attention to this game.

Fortunately, thanks to the all-round bombardment propaganda of "Beacon Fire", even Shang Ji, an ancient man whose impression of the game only stayed at throwing pots and archery, also had a fragmentary understanding of "Beacon Fire".

The whole game of "Beacon" is divided into four major civilization sections, namely the historical civilization with Asia as the main body, the magical civilization with the theme of the Americas, the mythological civilization with Europe as the main body, and the fantasy civilization with Africa as the main body.

The China Region is set against the backdrop of the war-torn Three Kingdoms era, and integrates various official histories, wild histories, deductions, and scripts to form a comprehensive historical civilization.

There is an imbalance between the game time and the real time of "Beacon", and the ratio of the real to the game time is 1:3. In other words, in terms of game time, "Beacon" has been on service for nearly four months.

Shang Ji, who was born in troubled times and fought all his life, is extremely uncomfortable with the current hustle and bustle of life, even if he has been able to live a normal life like an ordinary modern person and even find a decent job.

The one who fights is also carrying the fight. Ji originally means to converge weapons, but Shang Ji's personality is the opposite, he likes war, enjoys war, even if he himself is a victim of war.

In modern terms, he is a war maniac, who lives for war and dies for it!
