Chapter 86: Nothing New

Yesterday, I suddenly received a call from the former high school class president, saying that it was a high school reunion.

When I heard the news, I was a little flustered. You know, since we graduated from high school, there haven't been any formal gatherings; Even if there were, it was a small one, and it was not something that I, as a poor person, could participate in. So when I heard the news, I asked the squad leader Liu Jia in a daze: "What's going on?" ”

Liu Jia was the class president of our high school, and she was also a big beauty, and she was the best type; Even in the "Yanhua Middle School", which is known for its rigorous school spirit (in fact, the school principal is an old stubborn and resolutely punishes young love), there are still many suitors, which shows the great charm.

Except for a few classmates in high school, they have almost no contact now, but Liu Jia is an exception. First of all, she is the class leader; Secondly, Liu Jia is very emotional, and before graduation, he asked everyone in the class to write down their detailed address and phone number, and also contacted him from time to time; The last reason, and the most crucial one, is that her house is not far from my house, and it is only a matter of ten minutes to walk. So, even if I moved, it was easy to get my address and phone number, even my mobile phone, from others.

Liu Jia's crisp voice came from the latest DX mobile phone: "It's Jin Lin who took over his father's business, and he has a lot of money, so it's just a show." ”

The word "display" has a unique taste in Liu Jia's mouth, just like the tone of singing Peking Opera, so the ridicule in the original words is even stronger. It can be seen that Liu Jia has no good impression of this playboy who has been pursuing her, and can even be said to be disgusted.

Jin Lin's family used to be the richest in our class, and he opened several large companies. Now that he has taken over his father's business, it is also time to sponsor a class reunion. However, I guess his main purpose is not just a class reunion. Liu Jiacai, who is now on the phone with me, should be the main target.

"Oh. Got it, I'll be on time tomorrow. I replied faintly. I don't have any interest in this kind of gathering at all, and if it weren't for Liu Jia, I wouldn't have bothered at all, because none of these people can really speak except Liu Jia.

"That's good. Remember, dress smartly. Liu Jia did not forget to instruct.

Liu Jia's so-called "neatness" is of course not to dress cleanly, but to wear a suit and tie according to the "so-called" etiquette. I don't know when this kind of etiquette that has been passed down from the West has now been widely spread among the people, but our own national characteristics have been greatly weakened. In addition to filming, I'm afraid that all the people in retro costumes are considered to be neurotics; However, the so-called "Tang costume" known to the world is just an ordinary costume left over from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it cannot highlight any national characteristics at all.

Whether it's for historical reasons or from my own preferences, I'm a person who doesn't usually like to be restricted, so I hardly wear a suit, let alone a tie, and that feeling is as uncomfortable as hanging. But luckily, I have a way to deal with it.

Suits, replace them with casual fake suits, anyway, it looks pretty much the same, doesn't it? As for the tie, I originally wanted to buy a slipknot, but after I saw the "bow tie", I gave up, after all, this "bow tie" is easier to wear.

Driving my own small red flag (market price of 150,000 yuan), I came to the only five-star hotel in the city - Wudu Hotel.

The waiter at the door opened the door for me with a smile and asked, "Sir, do you have a reservation?" ”

"Nope. However, I'm here for a class reunion. "I scanned my eyes and didn't find my classmates.

"Ahh You're a classmate of Mr. Kim, right? The meeting place is on the fourth floor, do you need me to show the way? "The waiter was warm and authentic.

"No need, thank you" because I saw Liu Jia walking out of the elevator. Today's Liu Jia is dressed very sexy, wearing a low-cut evening dress to reveal her perfect figure; Especially the deep ** on the chest attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, uh, of course, including me, after all, I'm also a normal man, isn't it.

"Mo Sui! You're coming" Liu Jia greeted me, her right arm inserted into the crook of my arm very naturally, and hugged my left arm tightly, so that I could fully feel the greatness of his chest.

My face was slightly hot, and I was a little unaccustomed to Liu Jia being so "enthusiastic", so I smiled and said: "Senior class leader, you are dressed so beautifully today, do you want to find a wishful man?" ”

Although Liu Jia is very enthusiastic and generous, with oriental classical charm, her attitude towards marriage is very Western, respecting celibacy. So now the 28-year-old "old age" is still alone with my sister-in-law.

"How so?" Liu Jia straightened the hair around her ears and said happily: "I don't want to abandon my ideas." Besides, what's so good about you stinky men? "The sparkle in my eyes is unique.

I smiled awkwardly and complained, "Miss, please! Can you think about how I feel when you say this? ”

"Hee-hee, you're different" As soon as the words fell, the elevator reached the fourth floor. But Liu Jia's words are still ringing in my mind, what do they mean?

"Am I different?" Could it be that Liu Jia has a good impression of me? The thought of this possibility made my heart beat sharply. But then it turned into a lake of calm water, and judging from my more than ten years of interaction with Liu Jia, I know that this possibility is very small.

The entry of Liu Jia and I has received widespread attention. To be honest, my Mo Sui can be said to be ordinary, if you have no appearance, if you have no talent, you will never be noticed by others. But now, the zero-distance contact between me and Liu Jia, a big beauty, made most of my classmates' eyes pierce directly, which made me feel trembling, after all, in the face of dozens of pairs of eyes, this feeling is definitely not very good. Especially when I saw the jealousy and cruelty in the eyes of Jin Lin and several other playboys, who were today's masters, I knew that I should not think about it today.

Who doesn't know Jin Lin's crazy pursuit of Liu Jia, this process has lasted for more than 10 years, but in the face of Liu Jia, who can't splash water, Jin Lin can only be helpless. Now that I am in front of everyone, I have appeared intimately in front of everyone with Liu Jia, which can be said to be a strong irony of him.

Fortunately, after entering the venue, Liu Jia let go of my arm and joined the Women's Army Group, which made the situation better. But Jin Lin won't give up so well!

In the three years of high school, there was only one fat man who was a good friend. But the fat man is far away abroad and can't come, and the other classmates can be said to be bland. However, others are still "enthusiastic" about me.

Among them, of course, Jinlin is the most.

Like what:

"Mo Sui, I heard that you didn't go to college?" Jin Lin asked deliberately loudly.

"Yes, there is no money." I replied. Of course, I added a sentence in my heart: But it's better than you spending money to get into a prestigious university!

"Do you have any work now? If not, why don't you come to my company, classmate, I will definitely not treat you badly. Jin Lin laughed when he finished speaking.

"I don't think so." I frowned. This guy is really not an ordinary stupidity, as long as a woman with a little vision will not look at such an arrogant guy.

It seems that Jin Lin can't stand the "intimate" appearance of me and Liu Jia just now, and he is jealous, so he humiliates me. With such patience, I really don't know what to say.

As you know, in high school, my family was very poor. In the third year of high school, my only relative, my mother, also died of an illness, and the family went bankrupt to pay the medical bills. Of course, the school was not without donations, but I refused, because I couldn't stand the almsgiving tone of the vice principal, and I graduated early and ran for life.

High Chinese basis, you can't find a good job anywhere; In addition, my academic performance is not very satisfactory, so my life in the first two years can be said to be very hard.

It seems that I really shouldn't have come today, and I provoked an enemy for myself for no reason, or a "love enemy". Now I vaguely feel that I was being "used" by Liu Jia, but I can't say anything, after all, as a good friend, I should share a little for Liu Jia.

After that, I didn't have anything to say, and I was alone and watched my former classmates get together in twos and threes to talk and laugh. Most of the students in the class are successful and famous, such as senior white-collar workers, company owners, fashion designers, construction engineers, etc. In the end, they are the high-talent students who went out of the city's first high school "Yanhua Middle School", and they are all at the top of the industry.

Compared to them, I was so shabby, I didn't even have a formal career. But "pro gamer" is what I call now. I became a professional gamer of online games, and that was two years after graduating from high school. At that time, network information sensing technology was highly developed, and the "holographic simulation game" was launched. It's still an online game, but the protagonist is no longer controlled by the keyboard and mouse, but by sensors (glasses, gloves, belts, shoes, and various joints) to record the player's movements.

And each set of sensors can only be used by one person, because the glasses sensor can scan the pupil membrane of a person, so as to eliminate the possibility of multiple people having one account (of course, some people later spent a lot of money to imitate the pupil membrane to achieve the purpose of cheating). And the plug-in has disappeared without a trace, which can be regarded as a clear space for online games.

It was then that I began to aspire to become a professional gamer, and earn game currency by taking the combat route to fight equipment and then sell equipment, or take the life route to produce goods and earn game currency, or exchange money through the black market, or directly trade in RMB. In short, relying on this method, I earned nearly 1 million yuan in six years, not only to buy a commercial house, but also to buy a small Hongqi car. At present, the bank deposit is 360,000 yuan.

I hastily finished the banquet and left the "Wudu Hotel". Although Liu Jia wanted to come to my side several times, I stopped them with color, after all, I didn't want to stay in this kind of place for long. If it weren't for Liu Jia's invitation, I wouldn't have attended this kind of party at all.

After 8 years, I got used to solitude and became obsessed with games. The various experiences in the game, whether they are successful or unsuccessful, give me touching joy.

After getting home and taking a hot shower, I started browsing the Internet for new game information. Finding a game with potential is one of the most basic criteria for the success of a professional gamer, after all, games are changing so quickly that there are very few games that last for two years, and even fewer for three years.

Suddenly, a line of words came into my eyes: China's Shanda, the United States' RBS, and South Korea's GACE jointly created a new era virtual game - "Dominating the World", using the most advanced virtual reality technology to create a second world for mankind.

Virtual reality, which is a game that relies entirely on the human mind. It's a lot of talk online, but it's not clear that any game can use this technology. Because the human brain is extremely delicate but extremely fragile, a small damage can cause unimaginable trauma, so a few years ago, although there were rumors that this "virtual reality technology" will be used in games, but it is the appearance of left and right examples.

But now, the three largest game companies in China, the United States, and South Korea have teamed up to launch the game "Domination of the World", which uses this kind of virtual reality technology, how is it not surprising? According to the above, people can use their consciousness to control the game characters as long as they wear the so-called "virtual helmet", as if they were using their hands and feet in reality, and there is also a feeling, such a game will definitely take over the entire game market

The thought flashed through my mind, and I immediately put on the sensor and entered the "Jianghu" I am now playing. Jianghu is a martial arts game developed by China's second-largest game company "Tenglong" two years ago, and the characters in it are all set with reference to ancient China, which is very interesting.

In Jianghu, I am already a level 127 thief, ranked 24th in the world, and has the 41st "kill" (thief dagger) on the artifact list. Although "killing" is only ranked forty-first, for me, a big thief, it is completely in the top three. Relying on it, I can do the assassination ability of an "assassin".

But now, I don't need it anymore. I put all my weapons and equipment up for auction at the auction house, including the Eye of Thieves, a quest item for the advanced "Thief Saint" that I had just hit the day before yesterday.

Through the publicity of the system, Luoyang City, where I am located, immediately flooded into a large number of thieves and other high-level players, not only for my "killing", but also for the "Eye of Thieves", which is a priceless and marketless super treasure, which took me three months and a lot of effort to obtain.

"Killing" 1 million coins, plus 11 million coins from "Eye of Thieves", I got a full 12 million coins. Exchanged for 430,000 RMB through the black market, I deleted all the information of this character and quit the game.

Sure enough, in the next few days, the "World Games Company", a joint venture of the three game companies, began to vigorously promote their virtual reality game, "Domination of the World". Internet, television, newspapers and magazines, street advertising, human publicity, promotional activities...... It has been staged in major cities around the world.

At the same time, the official website also lists the basic information of this game, and the beautiful and vivid virtual animations on it fully show the true charm of the game. For a time, "Dominating the World" spread to the whole world.

In just one day, the major games that are now popular have shrunk sharply, a large number of players have begun to quit the game, and the price of equipment in the game has fallen to an outrageous level. Seeing this situation, I was secretly glad in my heart, if I hadn't noticed it earlier, otherwise more than two years of hard work in "Jianghu" would have been in vain.

After a careful look at the official website, I realized that the game "Domination of the World" directly skipped the closed beta and entered the open beta stage, which is rare in the game industry, after all, only after the internal test can we better grasp the specific details of the game. Now this situation fully shows that "Tianxia Game Company" is full of confidence in this game; At the same time, there is also a mystical overtone. Because only some basic information and operations are given on the website, most of them need to be explored by the players themselves.

First of all, the game rig is a virtual helmet. This helmet is equivalent to a small supercomputer dedicated to gaming, so the price is relatively expensive, 20,000 RMB for the regular model, 100,000 RMB for the luxury model, and 1,000,000 RMB for the VIP model. The authenticity of the three is 50%, 70%, and 98% respectively. However, the pain perception system is only 5% of the actual one, which is to prevent the player from being unable to endure great pain and causing mental damage.

In addition, because the game is directly controlled by the consciousness, it is known that the speed of consciousness movement is much faster than the real feeling, so the ratio of the game time to the real time is 3:1, which means that one day of reality is equivalent to three days of the game. In another sense, just entering the game can be regarded as a life extension in another sense.

Moreover, when the player wears a helmet, the infrared detection device on it will automatically record the player's iris and DNA, truly achieving one person and one person. It eliminates the possibility of cheating with artificial iris in current holographic games.

Secondly, there are many types of classes in the game.

Eastern Combat Class:

Samurai, who fight with a variety of melee weapons, subdivided into swordsmen, swordsmen, gunners, and others.

Archers (crossbow archers) use bows or crossbows to attack enemies from a distance.

Thieves, who use daggers to attack enemies, can use skills such as theft, stealth, etc., and can advance to assassins.

Taoist priests, who can use a sword to attack in close quarters, or use rune paper for spell ranged attacks. Spell points: metal, wood, water, earth, fire.

Monks are divided into two types: melee and magic, the former is equivalent to a samurai, and the latter can learn various Dharmas.

Hunters, who use bows, arrows, traps, etc. to capture their prey.

Eastern combat professions can learn the internal strength method, but the internal strength method only comes from the skill store and their own monster fighting, and can also be obtained from the task.

Western Combat Classes:

Swordsman, who uses a sword to attack the enemy, can learn fighting spirit, and is a melee system.

Archer, who uses a bow and arrow to attack enemies from a distance.

Thieves, who use daggers to attack enemies, can use skills such as theft, stealth, etc., and can advance to assassins.

Magician, using all kinds of magic ranged attacks, divided into: water, fire, wind, earth, light, and dark.

Priests, using divine magic, healing others. When you reach an advanced level, you can attack the enemy.

Necromancer, who uses necromantic magic in dark magic, can summon necromantic creatures to fight for themselves.

A summoner, a mage who can only summon phantom beasts to attack for himself. The stronger the ability, the more phantom beasts you can summon, the stronger it will be.

Life Occupation:

Blacksmiths, crafting weapons or other metal objects, and oriental classes can also make jewelry.

Physicians, who heal patients through herbal medicines. Oriental Exclusive Occupation.

Tailor, who can sew all kinds of fur into clothes, leather armor.

Woodcutter, the profession of cutting down trees.

Fisherman, you can go fishing. There are many rare species in fish, and eating them may increase their abilities.

Alchemist, a Western-only profession that specializes in creating jewelry.

A businessman, who specializes in business as a profession and has no combat effectiveness.

Chef, who can craft a variety of foods to reduce the player's hunger.

Appraiser, appraisal equipment, and other materials.

In the end, the player's stats are still hierarchical. Levels 1-10 are civilians, and when you reach level 10, you can go to the city to find a job. After taking the job, the incumbent will give you a few basic skills for the class, and the advanced skills in the future will need to be purchased at your own expense or obtained through other methods. Each person has only one combat profession, two life professions. The more classes you have, the more experience you have with each level. Upgrade XP = × (1+20N%), so that you won't make a very BT character unless you spend a lot of time.

While using the hierarchy, the system will also give you a comprehensive ability to assess your true strength.

For death, the punishment of the system is severe. Each time you die, you will lose 70% of the experience gained for that level. Before level 20, the experience of the next level is 200% of the experience of the previous level, and after level 20, from 20-21, it takes 10 million experience, and each level of promotion after it requires 1000 N more experience than the previous level, that is, 21-22 needs 2000 (1000 + 1000) million, 22-23 needs 4000 (1000 + 1000 + 2000) million, 23-24 needs 7000 (1000 + 1000 + 2000 + 3000) million, and so on.

So once you die, sometimes you may be downgraded several levels in a row, or even directly to level 1, and the attribute points will also return to the attribute value of the original level, but the skill will not disappear.

However, upon death, the player's property can be acquired through the inheritance system for a fee of 10 gold. When a player dies, the higher the reputation value, the smaller the chance of randomly dropping items and the smaller the number of pieces (excluding items in the Qiankun Ring). Prestige, on the other hand, can be obtained by killing monsters, doing quests, and so on.

PK is not allowed in the city. Otherwise, the system determines that the player has maliciously killed someone, and his reputation will be reduced to 0, and the whole city will be wanted. Outside the city, PK is allowed, but if you kill the opponent, you can only gain 1% of the player's experience at that level; The passive player who kills the active side will receive 50% of the player's experience for that level.

If you kill someone with malicious PK, your reputation will be reduced. Kill one person and your reputation will be reduced to 0; Kill again, and it will be reduced to a negative number. For players with negative reputation, death will drop items from all over the body, including items in the Qiankun Ring.

The Qiankun Ring (Space Bag in the West) is a kind of novice equipment, which does not occupy a load, and can be equipped with 20 kinds of equipment, regardless of the colonel, the exact same items can be stacked. If you want to increase the space of the Qiankun Ring or Space Bag, you can upgrade it with special items.

Players can also customize the baggage at the tailor, as big or small as you like. Items can be placed inside, accounting for weight, and cannot be placed in Qiankun rings or space bags. The weight format is X\/N, where X is the weight of all items on the body, and N represents the maximum weight of oneself. The higher the X, the less agility the player has; Players with a weight of N\/N are basically immobile. The player's own weight N value is determined by the health value: weight = physical strength × 10.

Basic Attributes of the Player:

Strength: Determines the size of the attack (attack = strength×2)

Stamina: Determines health and weight. (HP=Stamina×20, Defense = Stamina×2)

Agility: Determines the speed of running and the flexibility of movement. (Speed = Dexterity×2)

Mana (Mana): Determines mana or mana.

Internal Force (Fighting Qi): East (West) players need to consume internal force (Fighting Qi) when using certain moves. This requires the player to keep cultivating in order to increase.

Hunger: In real life, players will feel hungry. When hunger reaches 100, the player will starve to death. When the hunger level exceeds 50, the player's stamina starts to decrease as the hunger level increases, but the hunger level does not change when the player goes offline.

Hidden attributes: Charisma, Luck.

Charisma increases NPCs' favorability towards the player, and discounts may occur when buying and selling items.

Perception: Determine the speed and success rate of comprehension skills.

Luck can increase the probability of Drops and increase the probability of success in life and career.

In addition, each level of the player's upgrade, the attribute point +2 (full life), how to distribute the attribute is up to the player to choose. There are also special cases, such as taking a panacea, or through a special quest, which will increase a certain attribute point.

Because of the virtual reality, just like in reality, if you attack the weakness of the monster, you can get 2 times, 4 times the attack and even direct instant kill. The same is true for players.

Finally, what impressed me the most is that the website clearly stated that after the official fee (the public beta period is completely free, the monthly fee is 100 yuan per month, and the point card is 0.4 yuan per hour), the exchange ratio between real currency and virtual currency will be introduced, whether it is real currency to virtual currency or virtual currency to real currency, the game company will charge a 0.5% handling fee.

There are three currencies in the game, gold, silver, and copper. 1 gold coin = 10 silver coins = 1000 copper coins, in the game, the chance of losing coins and equipment by fighting monsters is very small, so it is really difficult to make money.

Not only that, but players who have reached a certain level of prestige can apply to open a shop or establish a gang (Knights). As for the country or something, there is no information on the website, it is estimated that it will be listed later.
