With the progress of the times and the rapid development of science and technology, under the decades of research and innovation of human beings from 2010 to 2045, the network has already entered the T era from the G era. But it is also a difference of letters, but it vividly reflects the two words of the times. Artificial intelligence is not a new thing, and in today's society, the network can solve almost all problems. Except, of course, such things as giving birth to children, which are still bound by human morality and must be accomplished by the most primitive functions of human beings. The intelligence of human society has been constantly updated and iterated in the past few decades, and network products naturally occupy a huge amount of resources in the society, and Times Group came into being in such a background.

On January 1, 2040, Times Group was launched, followed by the overwhelming publicity of Times Group's epoch-making innovative brainwave conduction and network seamless docking technology, and human beings can rely on Times Group's network terminals to access the network in real time in a static state. And such a network terminal, the biggest impact is naturally the game world. Countless games that have been popular and cool for decades have closed their games one after another after the Times Group launched "Mechanical Age" on June 6, 2040.

"Age of Machines" has been around for more than a year, and after players have developed to a certain extent in the game, the first World Finals will be held on January 15, 2042, and then it will be held every year until 2049, and it has been a sensation around the world for nearly a decade. Just when "Mechanical Age" was prosperous for a long time, Times Group announced extremely willfully on May 1, 2049 that the group would close "Mechanical Age" on September 31, 2049 after making corresponding compensation to "Mechanical Age" players, and then start selling "New Era" game terminals on October 1, 2050, and "New Era" will be officially launched on January 1, 2050.

There is no explanation, only capriciousness.

The compensation made by the Times Group is enough to silence the vast majority of players, even if a small number of dissenting people have objections, the powerful Times Group that has been standing at the top of the world from nowhere will always quell the objections in a very short time through various channels. Followed by 3 months of game connection terminal sales,These 3 months are also a rare game vacuum period,Countless people live in these 3 months of boring,Some even turned over cards and other ancestral sad games from the Internet to kill the torment time waiting for the "New Era"。

Although the wait is long, the expectations of players for "New Era" are far more popular than all games, including "Mechanical Age", because at the pace of the times, it is difficult for people to return to the mouse and keyboard or simple devices that need to be operated by hands and feet to show themselves or find happiness. Moreover, in the past 3 months, Times Group only announced that "New Era" is completely operated by the mastermind called Genesis, and there is no other information, all Times Group has done is to do a good job in game terminals and network technology. This made "New Era" and the creator brain firmly occupy the life range of human beings in the past 3 months, and there are conjectures about "New Era" everywhere.

"New Era" is as its name suggests, and it has not even begun to recreate an era like "Age of Machines".

……

When Miao Ji returned home with the bracelet terminal, it was already sunset, and although the speed of the smart hovering tram allowed him to travel from the east to the west of Qianshan City in just 5 minutes, he still chose to get off at a place 2 kilometers away from his home and walk the 2 kilometers back home. The ruthless cold wind in the cold winter did not make him afraid, the reason why he had to walk these 2 kilometers, in addition to making his determination more firm in the pace, he was also carefully feeling the cyan bracelet terminal on his left hand, Miao Ji's memory, after a few years, the game terminal was no different except for being more refined, the bracelet was as light as nothing, but when he linked his attention to the bracelet terminal when he stood still, he was always reminded that "New Era" was not turned on and he was refused to enter. This made him feel unstoppable but frightened, because tomorrow at 12 noon on the first day of the new year, "New Era" will be opened globally, and players are not allowed to enter to create characters at this time, what the hell is this "New Era"? Such a mystery made him shudder that was difficult to control.

"Let's hope it's to play the game instead of being played!" Miao Ji muttered to himself as he pushed open the apartment door and approached home.

"Why is it so late today, the whole family is waiting for you to eat." But before the door was closed, he heard the cold words of the person who called the owner of the ring on his left hand. Wei Linglan was very unhappy, because she had been married to Miao Ji for a few years, and after marriage, she had a son, firewood, rice, oil, and salt for food and clothing, working from 9 to 5 every day, which was so bland that she almost went crazy. Although she and Miao Ji both have stable jobs, the disadvantage of stability is that there is nothing new in life. Especially her husband, there is nothing brilliant about it, it seems to be a broken stone on the mountain, no matter how she knocks on the side in the past few years, whether she scolds or scolds, it is vicious and stimulating, but there is no improvement. Seeing that many girlfriends or friends around him are living nourishing lives, but he is still worried about this and that every day, Wei Linglan feels that his heart is going to die. If it weren't for the fact that her son was too young to be 2 years old, she would even want to end this bad relationship in the eyes of her or her best friend with this man who had just entered the house.

"Oh, I went to buy something today, so it's late." Miao Ji told the truth, since he was determined to play games, although he just wanted to rely on this game to improve the current situation of his family, he would not live in Wei Linglan's exciting bombardment every day, but without Wei Linglan's consent, it was probably only an idea to play games at home. There is also the fact that this bracelet terminal cost him half a month's salary, if he doesn't recruit from the truth, there will be an earthquake at home, at least it will be a chicken flying dog skipping a grade.

"Buying something? What to buy? Wei Linglan was a little vigilant, she must have been her husband for a long time, and she must go home every time she gets off work, and the error will not exceed 10 minutes. She even often comes home to prepare dinner, so that she will not be angry with this pot and pan after work. And the salary is almost uniformly planned every month, and it is rare to go home nearly an hour late to buy things like today.

"A New Era Game Terminal." Miao Ji walked into the dining room and looked at Wei Linglan with calm eyes, without any emotional fluctuations in his voice. After several years of married life, he knew what he had to face when he said this, he had already made up his mind, and he had made up his mind.

"You ......"

The atmosphere at home instantly condensed, and the mother-in-law Qin Yuelan, who came to help with the child, froze her hand that was adding food, she knew her daughter's temperament. Wei Linglan's face was already bad, and when she heard Miao Ji's answer, her face quickly turned blue. Countless grievances and resentment poured over her head, this bastard thing has not made any progress in her career for a few years, and at the same time, she has not been able to make the conditions at home a little better, and she herself sometimes wants to buy a better set of cosmetics for herself for a long time. What did he do at the moment? Buy a game terminal, he doesn't work hard but wants to play games? Wei Linglan is not a conformist person, and he also knows that game competition has long been a hot industry, and the benefits brought by people with talent in the game can at least turn a poor person into a middle-class person. But that requires talent, it needs youth. How many years has he never seen a game played, and how old is he? At 33 years old, is he still young and does he have a talent for playing games? What is it that he is not giving up on himself when he is playing games now? And most importantly, how much does a gaming terminal cost? How do you live?

"I know you want to scold me, but I've made a decision." Miao Ji sat down at the dining table, did not pick up the dishes and chopsticks, but calmly stared at Wei Linglan's cold eyes and said: "We have been married for 4 years, and in the nearly two years since the birth of our son, I know that our life has made you a little unbearable, I am not a fool, I can understand the grievances you have suffered." So in order for my son to eat and dress well, and for you to buy good lipstick, I can only go to games if I want to. I don't want to explain anything, I just assure you that I only play at night when I sleep, and if I can't earn back the cost of the game terminal and the money of your lipstick in a month, I won't touch it again, whatever you arrange for me in the future, I will listen to you. ”

The calm attitude in Miao Ji's voice that had never appeared in front of Wei Linglan made Wei Linglan's mouth full of scolding words suddenly run out of words, and her grievances and resentment were gone, she couldn't even have a trace of seizures in front of Miao Ji at this moment, and in the four years of marriage, such a situation had never happened. Miao Ji's mother-in-law, Qin Yuelan, who was at the dinner table, was a little at a loss, her aunt had been tepidly following her girl's arrangement for several years, and now she actually did something like cutting first and then playing, how to deal with this.

"Let's eat, I hope for your support." After Miao Ji finished speaking, he picked up the dishes and chopsticks to eat, and his eyes swept over Wei Linglan and his son who was crawling on the sofa not far away, flashing a unique light.

Playing games, is that really all I have to do for that?
