Chapter 2 Overnight on the rooftop

Bai Lidu went upstairs with two packs of instant noodles, and came to the door of room 602 rented by himself on the sixth floor, opened the door with a key but found that it couldn't be inserted, as if the lock cylinder had been replaced, at this moment, the door of the room suddenly opened, and a girl was wiping her wet hair with a towel, and looked at Bai Lidu with a puzzled face:

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"Ahem, I've been living here before, and you're a new tenant?" Bai Lidu instantly understood, it turned out that the landlord rented the room to someone else, and he didn't blame the landlord, seeing that he had to pay this month's rent again, he would definitely not be able to pay it, and it would be a matter of time before he was kicked out.

"It's you, I've been waiting for you to come back in the room, but I couldn't wait for you, so I helped you pack up your things and was taken to the rooftop by the landlord." The girl had an embarrassed expression.

"That's a trouble for you, I'll go up to the rooftop to have a look, thank you." After thanking the girl, he turned and went upstairs, and the girl closed the door.

Bai Lidu climbed up to the seventh floor, and then went up to the roof of this self-built building, and when he used to live on the sixth floor, he also came to the roof to dry clothes, so he is no stranger to the rooftop, this time as an evicted tenant and climbed here after dark, but it is a different state of mind.

On the rooftop, near the staircase, there is a canopy, and on the outside of the canopy is a few clotheslines hanging horizontally, on which a few pieces of clothing are still hanging, and on the farther side is a medium-sized water storage tank with a satellite receiver standing next to the tank. His futon and suitcase were packed and placed in the corner under the canopy, and it looked like he was going to spend the night on the rooftop tonight.

Standing on the rooftop, looking around, the whole Shipai Village is surrounded by high-rise buildings in the middle, forming a deformed circle, and Bai Lidu is in the center of this circle, not far from the huge screen hanging on the outer wall of a building is playing the "Moon War" propaganda advertisement, there are several office buildings around the edge of the exterior wall is constantly flashing lights, in order to remind those who are busy in the air delivery drones, the words on the roof of a certain building are particularly eye-catching, and a few high-rise communities are already thousands of lights, the entire Shipai Village under the backdrop is pitch black, and a few dim light signboards seem to be behind the surrounding era.

Bai Lidu retracted his gaze, fortunately, there was a dilapidated long sofa under the canopy, although it was full of dust, but it should be able to sleep after cleaning up, Bai Lidu found a rag on the roof, and also found a faucet, and began to clean the sofa with a basin of water in the corner, and cleaned it up after ten minutes, so he took the suitcase to his side.

Open the suitcase and look, Bai Lidu was stunned for a few seconds, although the box was stuffed very full, but it was packed very neatly, all the clothes and pants were folded and placed on one side of the suitcase, a few T-shirts and a few pairs of clean socks were rolled up and put aside, and a pair of socks were changed the day before and had not had time to wash, were packed in a plastic bag and placed on the side, a few underwear were also packed in another bag to distinguish from the socks, and a few of his books were placed on the other side of the suitcase, mobile phone chargers, headphones, USB drives and other bits and pieces are all packed in a small plastic storage box, which should have been cleaned up by the girl downstairs, and Bai Lidu knew that he didn't have the storage box, so he would have to return it to her tomorrow.

Just as Bai Lidu was looking at his suitcase, he suddenly felt the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate a few times, and he received a new reminder message, could it be an interview notice for any position? Bai Lidu hurriedly took out his mobile phone and opened it to see:

- Notification information: Your package has been delivered to the Shipai Village distribution point, please confirm whether it is received now, if you confirm the receipt, please open your geographical location and provide an open receiving space.

Bai Lidu was stunned again, he has been nervous recently, and he hasn't bought any items online, where did the package come from, could it be that his sister in the northeast sent something to him? But they didn't inform me! Although he thought it was strange, Bai Lidu confirmed the reception and opened up his location information.

- Notification information: Your package has been delivered by the drone at the Shipai Village delivery point, and it is expected to arrive in 5 minutes, please pay attention to receive it.

I saw a Street View map displayed on my phone, marking the straight-line distance between the delivery point and my current location, a moving red dot was getting closer to my location, and the drone was already on the way with the package.

Bai Lidu happened to be on the rooftop, the field of vision was extremely wide, he stood up and came to the edge of the rooftop, looked in the direction where the drone flew, after a while, only to see a flashing bright spot from far and near, when the bright spot flew closer, you can clearly see the figure of the drone, there is a square package hanging below the drone, Bai Lidu's heart flashed a thought, but was immediately denied by himself.

When the drone came overhead, it slowly began to descend vertically, and when it descended to the same horizontal position as the mobile phone in his hand, the drone hovered there, a beam of light and a rotating camera aimed at him, and an electronic synthesis voice came:

"Please sign for the package, thank you!"

Bai Lidu held his phone close to the drone's sensor while holding the underside of the package with his hand.

With a beep, the drone released the package and flew away from the rear.

Bai Lidu was about to unpack the package when he received a new message on his phone:

——Notification information: Congratulations on obtaining the qualification for the open beta of "Moon Wars: MOONWARS", your public beta account sequence is 496532, please log in to the game through the game helmet, and take good care of the game helmet, Moonlight Company wishes you a happy gaming journey.

Bai Lidu stood there motionless for a minute, holding a mobile phone in his left hand, holding a package in his right hand, his mouth was wide open, when Moonlight Company announced the opening of the first batch of 500,000 public beta accounts more than a month ago, Bai Lidu also submitted the application information with the attitude of giving it a try, and never thought that he could apply successfully, according to the news released afterwards, more than 2.5 billion people around the world have applied for public beta, and 500,000 people were selected out of 2.5 billion people, which is a probability of 2 in 10,000, which is definitely a low probability event, It seems that his luck is not too bad.

For most applicants who have not obtained the public beta qualification, they can only complain about why Moonlight only provides 500,000 public beta qualifications, and the answer given by Moonlight is that because the production cost and mass production speed of virtual helmets can only meet 500,000 public beta players in advance, the production of virtual helmets will be subcontracted to various countries with production capacity, and appropriate fees will be charged, which is more conducive to the operation of the game.

Bai Lidu opened the package with excitement,Sure enough, what I saw was the MOONLIGHTBOX I had seen in the TV before:Moonlight treasure box,Take out the game helmet,The feel and texture are very good,Lighter than imagined,The helmet as a whole is silver gray,The top is the LOGO of the moonlight company,There is an embedded front camera and stretchable antenna on each side of the headphone,The back of the helmet is a power switch and some interfaces, The eyes of the helmet are designed with a retractable and adjustable eyepiece mode, when not in use, the eyepiece is tucked in the position of the top forehead of the helmet, the helmet is not a fully enclosed design, but to leave room for breathing for the mouth and nose, the two sides of the helmet near the lower forehead and chin are made of soft materials, when the two sides are stretched and fastened at the chin, the helmet will be better fixed on the head, and the position near the mouth is built-in microphone. In addition to a wireless charging base, there is also a pair of control gloves.

Bai Lidu turned on the power switch of the helmet and carried the helmet on his head, feeling that the part of the helmet in contact with the head is adaptively adjusting the distance to adapt to people with different head shapes, and when the buckle at the chin is fastened, there is a voice prompt in the ear:

"You are welcome to use Moonlight Technology products, detect that you are wearing glasses, please remove your glasses." Bai Lidu had no choice but to remove his myopic glasses, and the eyepieces automatically popped out from the top of the helmet, covering the entire eye.

Due to taking off his myopic glasses, when the picture appeared in front of him, Bai Lidu only felt a blur, and he was still wondering in his heart, myopic eyes are not allowed to wear glasses, so how to play the game?

"If you are detected with 300 degrees of myopia in your left eye and 450 degrees of myopia in your right eye, the system will automatically adjust and generate an image for you." The picture in front of me gradually became clearer, after the appearance of the LOGO of the moonlight technology company, it was the animated video of the game Moon War, the picture was quite clear, accompanied by the sound effect in the ear, and the sense of involvement was very strong.

"After the image is set up, the wireless network around you has been detected as shown below, please wear gesture control gloves and choose to join the network." Bai Lidu put on the gloves at this time, the glove material is very soft and close-fitting, and there are some touch sensing points distributed on the finger joints and the back of the hand and the palm.

Bai Lidu stretched out the index finger of his right hand and put it in front of his eyes, and a classic little white hand icon appeared in the picture, after selecting the metropolitan area network of Yangcheng, the helmet has been successfully connected to the Internet.

"Please save your current settings and make sure you are logged in to the game?"

When Hakurido confirms that he is logged into the game, the screen changes to a black starry background, and the content of the Moon Declaration rises from the bottom of the screen upwards in the form of subtitles

The rising subtitles of "Please follow the subtitles to read the contents of the Lunar Declaration" reminded him of the opening credits of Star Wars, a series of movies that began to air a hundred years ago.

As the content of the "Lunar Declaration" continues to appear, the figure of the moon begins to appear in the background of the picture, and gradually closes in, and when the content of the declaration ends, the moon is already close at hand.

In the end, Bai Lidu read the following paragraph aloud according to the subtitle prompts:

"As a citizen of the Earth, I hereby solemnly declare that I will abide by and implement all of the above contents of the Declaration of the Moon"

At this point, a dialog box pops up in front of you:

"The system will swipe your identity information to complete the final binding and activation progress, please place your ID card in the camera sensor area of the ear"

Bai Lidu pulled out his ID card and approached the earphone part of the helmet.

"Di, Mr. Bai Lidu, thank you for using Moonlight Technology's products, please look straight ahead and read your name aloud before completing the final binding and activation"

Bai Ridu stared at the front of the screen and read his name.

"The iris and voice message have been entered, Mr. Bai Lidu, you have bound and activated "Moon Wars: MOONWARS", there are 52 hours, 1 minute and 10 seconds left before the official public beta of the game", Bai Lidu looked at the system time, it was almost 8 o'clock in the evening, which means that the official public beta of the game will be at 0:00 in 2 days, isn't that the Spring Festival of the Year of the Goat in the lunar calendar!?

Since it wasn't time yet, Bai Lidu quit the game, and after taking off the helmet, he put the helmet aside to recharge.

Half-lying on the dilapidated sofa, Bai Lidu was full of emotion, he was still high-spirited when he just graduated from college, and he was full of confidence in his future, but it was only less than two years, but he made himself feel that survival was so difficult, since he was lucky to draw the opportunity to open beta, then he might be able to make a difference if he planned with his heart in the next "Moon War" game.

With such thoughts,Bai Lidu ignited hope for life again,Log in to the official website of the game with a mobile phone,I hope to be able to understand all the game content,But I found that there is no introduction related to the game content,The only game forum is also full of complaints,But the price of the game helmet has been fried,Because many people have not applied for the public beta qualification,So many posts are asking for the content of the public beta helmet,The latest price has been fried to 180,000,But no one seems to respond., There are even some posts with the title of "sports car for helmet", which has earned enough eyeballs, Bai Lidu opened an auction website by the way, and saw that the public beta helmet released by someone has been auctioned at a price of 380,000, and Bai Lidu's heart began to be entangled, whether to put the helmet in hand on the Internet auction, maybe it can be sold at a better price, but after the inner struggle, Bai Lidu also understood that even if he got hundreds of thousands of dollars, it was difficult to change his current situation. It's better to take advantage of this rare open beta qualification to fight hard.

After making up his mind not to transfer the helmet, Bai Lidu searched for two posts from Yangcheng in a section of communication in the same city:

[Hengyuan] team recruitment inspiration: welcome players who have obtained the public beta qualification in Yangcheng to sign up, and the treatment is good!

Below this post, there is another post with a similar format:

【Diana】Team Recruitment Inspiration: Welcome female players who have obtained the public beta qualification in Yangcheng to sign up enthusiastically, and the treatment is good!

It seems that the Diana team should be all female players, Bai Lidu had to click on the first post, and there was not much content in the post, first a brief introduction to the Hengyuan team, and then the requirements for applicants:

1. Eligible for public beta;

2. Have practical experience in large-scale virtual online games, with an RPM value of no less than 100 and a cumulative online time of no less than 10,000 hours;

3. Have team spirit and be good at teaming up with teammates to conquer dungeons.

Although Bai Lidu also played virtual online games when he was in college, he didn't invest much time, and he didn't play well, and he didn't have any contact with virtual online games after graduation, so this 2nd article is definitely not satisfied, and what the hell is this RPM, I checked the Internet and found that it was the reaction speed, that is, the number of reactions per minute, and professional online game players can usually reach 120 or even 200 RPM values, and Bai Lidu estimates that he will definitely not be able to reach it.

At the end of the post, I left a contact number and interview address.,Didn't mention the treatment at all.,Look at the time of the post is the beginning of January.,It's been more than a month since then.,I don't know if there's a chance.,But there's nothing to do anyway.,It's better to go tomorrow to see.,In case you can apply for a job.,It's also a job.。

Since the official website couldn't find any valuable game content, Bai Lidu simply found a novel of a virtual online game to see how people seized the opportunity and conquered the copy, so Bai Lidu lay on the sofa, looked at his phone, and didn't know when he fell asleep.
