Chapter 1
22nd century. Plus V public account: Field Bookstore, see more!!
The city is full of lights.
Prosperous and lonely, magnificent but unforgiving.
This is a time of change, but it is also a time of indifference and gloom.
With the continuous progress of civilization and technology, human beings have fully entered the Internet age, and in the sound of keyboard tapping and the light of the display screen, interpersonal relationships have gradually become vulnerable and gradually lose themselves.
Every day there are people who are drowning in the virtual, and every day there are people who are drowning in loneliness; Virtually, doubts and confusion come like a tide, no one knows where they should go, and a mechanical and indifferent life may be all he has to do.
Due to the lack of desire for life, people suffer from depression every day, and the suicide rate is also high.
Ahem, and for the record, the world in this book is not the same as ours, so there is no need to wonder if this will happen if we continue to develop, and do not confuse the contents of the book with reality......
……
The pattern needs to be broken after all, and the voices calling for breaking away from the virtual and embracing the reality are higher and higher, but in the face of this pattern, some people have proposed that games can be used to solve it.
A game called Dark Night has been born, a survival puzzle game designed to reawaken the desire to live by giving people a thrilling experience on the edge of life and death in a fully immersive gaming experience. It's calm, silent, and ingenious in its design to make people discover the beauty of life.
Therefore, "Dark Night", developed and published by the "Apostle of God" company, is one of the most popular solutions to break the current pattern.
Today is the day of the open beta of "Dark Night".
……
"Sorry, there's no shortage of security guards here." The tall man in the suit said coldly, his eyes full of contempt.
The young man with unkempt hair wanted to say something, but when he saw the other party's attitude, he knew that he shouldn't have a chance, but didn't he say that he was still recruiting security guards before?
"Forget it", this is Qin Yi's last thought at the moment, he turned around and left, without any hesitation, if it wasn't for the sake of his livelihood, he would never come out to find any work, but at the moment, it seems that he is not going well.
Qin rubbed his unkempt hair as he walked, he was twenty-two years old this year, not long after graduating from college, he thought that with his talent, he might be able to find a good job; It's just that in such a hustle and bustle society, not too many people care about the hidden thing of talent, background, education, if not, there will be no follow-up.
Unfortunately, Qin Yi's education is not high, and his family background is even poorer, and the resumes he submitted are rejected without reading them at all, and in the end he only found a job as an editor on a small news website.
In this era, paper media has long been outdated, although online media is the mainstream, but there are also advantages and disadvantages, Qin Yi's "work unit" belongs to the latter, and he is different from those peers who are good at creating gimmicks and creating fake news, he only writes about those things that he thinks can be regarded as news, and specializes in writing news that his peers are unwilling to report and do not conform to the mainstream values of the current people.
Therefore, it is meaningless, most of his manuscripts are either rejected or on the way to rejection, and the few that can be regarded as "news" can bring him little benefit.
He hadn't written anything he could have written for seven days, but he had never thought of reporting false or meaningless news, and his life was in a quandary.
Qin Yi suffers from moderate depression, he is not good at words, introverted, not interested in interpersonal communication, looking for a job is a helpless move, he wanted to find a profession like a security guard without talking, temporarily make a living, but he did not get what he wanted, at the moment, he must continue to look for a career that can be applied for, otherwise although he will not starve to death on the street, but life will not be much better.
""Dark Night" is in open beta today, and the dungeon will be rewarded with bonuses, please refer to the in-game announcement for details."
It was such a casual glance that the words on a display screen attracted Qin Yi's attention, to be precise, the words "reward cash" attracted him.
Qin Yi stopped, stared, pondered, weighed, and after the authenticity of this advertisement, he made a decision that didn't seem so wise: don't look for a job, since you can make money playing games, then play well.
……
It's just that it's never that simple.
"Dark Night" is a highly realistic and surreal game, players only need to wear the game glasses sold by the game company, access to the system, log in to the account to enter the game; After that, the player is in a state of hypnosis, immersed in the game, and his behavior and activities in the game will be recorded, and saved in the data in the account cloud, not like a dream, the activities in the dream will be empty after waking up, but will automatically read the record after the next login.
This game mode is nothing new for the technological level of the 22nd century, and the security is also guaranteed, if the gamer has any abnormal situation in the game that may affect the player's physical condition or what problems threaten the player's safety in reality, the system will detect the changes in his body function at the first time, and immediately disconnect.
Then, that's the point, if you want to log in to the game and the system, the necessary medium is the game glasses and the account, and these two things naturally can't be provided in vain, after all, there are cash rewards for clearing the dungeon, and people won't make a loss-making deal.
The account is given by buying glasses, and you can also buy it separately, but an account for buying glasses is basically enough, and you don't need to buy one or more separately, unless you want to have something like "small", as for game glasses, it's not expensive, don't want 998, don't want 698, just 398.
398 may not be an expensive price for ordinary people, it is equivalent to the income of ordinary wage earners for a few days, of course, even in the 22nd century, there is such a thing as class. However, Qin Yi was not an ordinary person, 398, which was enough to make him ponder for a few minutes.
Qin Yi is not a person who likes to hesitate, he is not used to hesitation, 398, nearly four hundred yuan, is nothing more than half of his last deposit, since there is a chance to win back, then what is it to give it a go, after all, surviving is not so important to Qin Yi, after all, just ask, people who suffer from depression, there are a few who still have strong hopes for life.
An hour later, Qin Yi sat in his house where the rent was about to expire, and carefully read the instructions for the game glasses and various precautions, in fact, there was nothing to pay too much attention to, but there were always advantages and disadvantages to reading.
Putting on his glasses and turning on the switch, Qin Yiyi didn't feel too much, so he entered the login interface in a semi-hypnotic state.
At this moment, Qin Yi's eyes appeared in front of a classic login screen: enter the account field, enter the password field, "register" and "forgot password" options, and a usage agreement that required the user's consent.
The account is given when buying glasses, and it is recorded on an account card, but this is just an account, no password, because it has not been registered, the user needs to use the account to register, in fact, it is an activation process, the account is not optional, but the password can be set by yourself, and then some personal identity entry and identification is completed, and you can log in to the game.
Of course, Qin Yi needs to register, the registration process is very simple, the process of entering personal information, only need to scan the face to complete, now is the information age, the information of citizens is associated with the face of citizens, as long as the face is scanned after the consent of the citizen, you can access the relevant information system for information entry, and the information provided by the access system is limited, to a certain extent, to ensure the security of citizens' information, and the game company promises and guarantees that it will not abuse user information, only for authentication and use during registration.
The password can be set casually, and soon Qin Yi completed the registration, and the system automatically entered the account and password, and then the user needed to confirm whether he agreed to the use agreement to log in.
Agreement Qin Yi took a cursory look at the agreement, and there was nothing contrary to his acceptable content, so he stretched out his hand and clicked "Agree", this move was made by him subconsciously, and in fact it was really effective, but in reality, Qin Yi also made such an abrupt gesture of reaching out, as for entering the game, the player's actions will no longer be synchronized with reality.
When you click to log in, the screen suddenly goes black.
