Yingzhou Island, Izumo Castle.

March was about to go to the Chamber of Commerce to purchase cold-proof equipment, passing by Muyue Cliff, he saw a familiar figure under the wishing tree, and involuntarily walked over.

The man, with his long dark blue hair and navy blue robe, sat under a tree knitting a sweater.

- It's Xiaoqing.

When she first came here, she was introduced to NPCs with the "guestbook" feature.

Xiaoqing lost the enthusiasm of the novice period, and someone walked up to him, without raising his eyelids, concentrating on knitting wool.

"Why is your hair blue?" The March Ghost asked the gods.

The tearful hair is also dark blue.

When she first entered the game world, she thought it was a very common hair color, but after a few months, the only blue hair she had seen was Tears and Xiaoqing.

"Knit me a scarf and I'll tell you." Xiao Qingtou didn't raise his head and said the tunnel.

"Okay."

March had long been accustomed to the style of these NPCs, so she took over the spare rod needles and started the woolen work.

She naturally knows how to do such a simple job as knitting a scarf, and even if she can't, the system will "automatically correct" the player's movements, as if someone is patiently guiding them hand-in-hand.

With the assistance of the system, it took about two sticks of incense to weave a red scarf.

Xiaoqing took the scarf, bowed her head with satisfaction, and finally looked at her, "I was originally a blue bird, and I have been cultivating for a hundred years and have been able to become an adult." My feathers are blue, so when I turn into a humanoid form, my hair is also blue. ”

"Blue hair seems to be rare." March thoughtfully.

"There is a saying in the mortal world that the color of the hair symbolizes the character and destiny of each person." Xiaoqing smiled, "However, I think it's all nonsense, and it can't be taken seriously." ”

She realizes that this kind of thing is like horoscope fortune telling, it is both true and false, it may be true, or it may be a conversation made up by some people when they are bored.

"It is said that the color blue symbolizes a poignant death and is not very auspicious. Maybe there are not many people who are born with blue hair, but they dye it in other colors. Xiaoqing continued.

Can you change your life by dyeing your hair?

Thinking of the high price of hair dye, March began to suspect that this illusory claim was a conspiracy by the owner of the dye shop.

"What does white mean?" She asked.

Her hair is white, and she always cares about her information.

"White symbolizes sacrifice and dedication."

March nodded, no wonder the priests all dye their hair white, in addition to the fact that white dye is cheap, there are other reasons.

"What about black?" She thought of the Nangong family's black hair and asked again.

"Black symbolizes loneliness and persistence." Xiaoqing lowered her head and continued to work, "I'm sorry, my clothes are not ready yet, so I can't chat with you." ”

March knew that this was a limitation of the system, and that NPCs had limited information to provide, and it was impossible for her to ask all the colors.

As she walked towards the Chamber of Commerce, she pondered Xiaoqing's answer, and the more she thought about it, the more bizarre she felt.

Blue symbolizes "poignant death", and the people of the Dugu family are all blue-haired, whether they are poignant or not, they are indeed dead.

White symbolizes "sacrifice and dedication", and the people of the Beichen family are all white-haired, and Beichen Yinjue sacrificed in order to protect the tears.

Black symbolizes "loneliness and persistence", the people of the Nangong family are all black-haired, Yanzhu tried his best to complete the task and died, and Feng Pan left his hometown and founded a family for the last wish of a stranger.

- It's all perfectly matched.

How is this possible?

If they are NPCs, it is not unusual for Xiaoqing to be accurate, the problem is that these people are all players.

It stands to reason that the player's behavior is unpredictable.

March came up with three explanations: first, pure coincidence, adjectives like sacrifice and attachment cover a wide range and can be used for most people; Second, the game company applies top technology, and the system will generate or modify the subsequent plot according to what has happened, and even affect the NPC's lines; The third, and the one she doesn't want to believe the most, is that all the player's behavior, seemingly free, is actually under the arrangement of the system.

Thinking of the last possibility, she couldn't help but feel creepy.

Contrary to what many people think, players are not completely free in the game, and planning can induce player behavior without leaving a trace through a well-designed reward and punishment system

For example, many games do not directly prohibit players from killing NPCs, but will give players unacceptable punishments, such as the chickens in Ximu Town - in a single-player game, if a player accidentally kills a chicken in the novice village, they will be hostile to the NPCs in the entire town, and even make it difficult to continue the game, so they have to delete the file and start over.

If players play in the way encouraged by the system, they will receive great rewards and a good gaming experience.

In this case, normal people know what to choose.

It's human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm, and players buy games for fun and relaxation, not for themselves.

March tried her best to recall whether there were any traces of the previous experience being arranged, but she really couldn't think of a reason - the plot line and task chain of the whole world are huge and complex, and what she has touched is only the tip of the iceberg, and it is difficult to know the whole picture.

Thinking of the speculation about the leakage of user information, her heart jumped, only to feel that the background of the game "Fantasy" was far beyond her imagination.

After going offline, log in to the forum in March.

To her disappointment, netizens were still focused on the personal style competition, and there was little discussion about the game.

Recent events have made her suspicious, and even suspected that the forum was holding a tournament at the official behest of the tournament in order to distract players.

After thinking about it, she gave up her plan to post, first, because she didn't have clear evidence, and secondly, she was afraid that she would be targeted by the official.

What's the use of playing games?

She closed the forum and began to think about it.

The game is just a regular means of entertainment, and the reason why the martial arts skills in the game are powerful is due to the bonuses given by the system, which are not practical in reality. As written, getting superpowers from games, or relying on playing games to become a martial arts master, is a complete pipe dream.

No matter how well he mixes in the game, at best, he has become the number one master and game spokesperson recognized by players, famous all over the world, and glorious.

And then what?

Back to reality, he is still an ordinary person in the end.

"You're really strong, but that's because you spend all your time playing. Your real life, what to do? ”

Wind words echoed in my ears.

This person, really...... Hit the nail on the head.

She was immersed in the virtual world and never thought about her future. I don't want to think about it, and I don't dare to think about it.

March's feelings for holographic games are actually quite complicated, so complicated that she herself is indescribable.

Happy, lingering, love-hate......

Holographic technology, which has brought good news to countless people, is also the main culprit that ruined her life.
