Chapter 2: The Virtual Era
Half an hour later, Ji Long went to the food stall smoothly and also met Wang Rushuang, whom he had been thinking about for a long time.
At this moment, Wang Rushuang was lying on the table, muttering some hazy words in her mouth, and calling 'Xiaolong' twice from time to time.
"Sister Rushuang, why did you drink like this? What if you encounter danger? Ji Long stepped forward and tried to help her up.
"Scumbag, are you here? Yo, I didn't expect you to start looking for a girlfriend when you were young and didn't study well, didn't study well? In this era, even the little kids in kindergarten can't believe it. At this time, a young woman of twenty-five or sixteen came out of the food stall, and she really spoke without mercy.
This young woman has a good appearance and figure, and she belongs to the upper middle level, which is much stronger than the Internet celebrity soaked in rouge gouache.
The young woman without makeup looked very capable, and while she teased Ji Long, she was cleaning up the tables and chairs, obviously preparing to close the stall.
Now that it has been half the night, there are some pedestrians rushing back and forth, and there will not be too many guests eating supper, let alone in the second half of the night, there are often some gangsters, she is a woman, and it is not suitable to open a shop all night, so as not to be targeted by the gangsters.
"May I ask the boss lady, how much did Sister Rushuang spend in total?" Although the young woman was a little unpleasant, she cared about Wang Rushuang after all, and she called him very kindly, instead of throwing her directly into the street, which is enough to show that the young woman is a knife-mouthed tofu heart.
"322, I'll take you 320, be kind to your girlfriend in the future, okay, just you little brat, I don't understand, I really don't know how such a delicate beauty found a boyfriend like you, is it popular for old cows to eat tender grass these days?" The young woman crackled.
A cold sweat broke out on Ji Long's back, and he hurriedly paid to help Wang Rushuang leave, not daring to talk too much to the young woman.
He didn't know why the young woman was a 'scumbag', and he didn't know why she was so sure that he was the 'scumbag' in her mouth.
Maybe it's because Wang Rushuang said something 'heartfelt words' after drinking.
Or maybe the young woman saw Wang Rushuang's photo on his mobile phone.
But in any case, it is the dead of night now, and it is not advisable to stay outside, so it is better to go back first.
He tried to inquire about Wang Rushuang's residence, but to no avail, so he had no choice but to take her back to his rented house first.
It's better to take care of people than to open a room in a hotel outside, or to go back to your own home, and a familiar place?
It took an hour for Ji Long to finally bring Wang Rushuang back to the rented room, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
In today's society, although there are relatively few violations and crimes due to the development of science and technology, in the second half of the night, everything is difficult to say, and if you are unlucky, you don't know how to die, which is also one of the sequelae brought about by the development of science and technology.
The rental is not big, the overall area is more than 20 square meters, a single room suite, there is a balcony facing the bustling street, the location is not bad.
Except for some smart devices, a bed and a table in the room, there are no other too many things, and Ji Long's life is still very frugal.
helped Wang Rushuang to lie down on the bed, boiled some boiling water, and fed her some sobering sugar water, Ji Long made his butt on the chair, touched a handful of sweat, and thought: Taking care of people is really not ordinary tired, fortunately, Sister Rushuang did not vomit, fortunately, it is okay.
The sobering candy was something he had prepared before, and this month, he often drank some beer to blur his consciousness, and often didn't control the amount, and it was strange and uncomfortable to get drunk, so he prepared some sobering candy.
Seeing that Wang Rushuang was slowly falling asleep comfortably and without muttering any more, Ji Long admired her beautiful appearance and couldn't help but be fascinated.
Thinking back to the bits and pieces of the first meeting, I was still a game novice at that time, and I went to her club to apply for a job by mistake.
In fact, if there is no Wang Rushuang, he is not even qualified to do chores in the club, don't look at the chores as manual work, but in a place like the club, without some basic knowledge, it is not his turn to sweep the toilet.
In this club, Wang Rushuang gave him his first love, gave him a bridge to know the world, gave him the opportunity to get in touch with games, and let him recognize his talent, and this kindness was full of his heart.
Speaking of virtual online games, this is a landmark product of the changing times.
Trace the history of virtual online games.
Earth, after countless years of evolution, in 2022, the Tencent game empire, the first in Huaxia to sell virtual online game helmets, has driven the world into a virtual reality boom and brought the game industry into a new era.
According to historical records, at that time, the game company that sold virtual online game helmets at low prices was the only one in the world; Although virtual reality technology is not the leader of Tencent's game empire, it appeared in military training as early as 2015, and it is Tencent's game empire that can be popularized to the people, so it is said that it is the leader of virtual reality.
The virtual online game that has just appeared is very simple and crude, not high in playability, but it is novel, and it can make people experience 70% of the virtual reality feeling.
But this is all the process of growing up a game empire, just like when the game just appeared, everyone is playing stand-alone, slot machines, etc., after the experience of time, there are all kinds of games, so that e-sports has reached its peak.
With the gradual tempering of time, the world of virtual online games has gradually taken shape, the technological trend of virtual reality is unstoppable, and the continuous development of AI technology has created a higher degree of reality.
In 2035, the realism of virtual online games has reached 99%, and the remaining 1% is only completely negligible in view of the distinction between reality and fantasy.
Because if you are a dying person, you don't have to die immediately at all, and you can become an NPC in the virtual world and continue to live until the NPC also dies, then your life is completely over.
This is tantamount to giving a person two lives, which has involved the metaphysics of eternal life, but technology has done so, and the virtual world has given people a second space to live, and it has also promoted the gradual reduction of illegal crimes.
Because even if you kill someone, you can use virtual reality technology to restore everything, so that there is nowhere to escape from crime.
It is such an era, but it is still difficult to solve the stubborn diseases of the old society.
The gap between the rich and the poor is a product that can not be erased by any civilization, and the more science and technology develops, the more the gap will inevitably expand, and the contradictions that intensify will create a hierarchical country, which is no different from the feudal empire, but modern people are more able to cover up, and the bright side is the Datong society, and the hidden concept of hierarchy has been carved into the bones of most people.
The era of virtual reality has given the poor infinite illusions, and people think that they can make a fortune through these games, just like the protagonist of the online novel.
Fantasy is beautiful, this has to be admitted, but the reality is still cruel, and people have to face it.
What is a game? Since it is a game and the game company developed it, no matter what kind of game it is, the ultimate goal will not change, that is, to make money.
The ultimate goal of a game is to make money, as a player, how can it be so easy to soar in it?
It can be summed up in one sentence: playing games, you don't even have many friends without money, and you want to make a fortune? Let's go home and sleep.
Everyone wants to be the protagonist in the novel, but there are tens of billions of people in the world, and there are only a few positions for the protagonist, so let's face it, whether it is a game in the old society or a virtual online game in the new era, you are still the one who makes money, not the protagonist who makes money.
Of course, there is a protagonist, but there is no one in ten thousand, it requires extremely high luck and strong talent, with these two things, this person is no longer the protagonist, but is doing a normal job that should be done in life.
And people who don't have talent and luck, then it's better to keep the fantasy, office workers or office workers, for the sake of a job, you don't have a choice.
In the end, people ridiculously found that the online games of the old society could only be used as entertainment activities to play after work; And virtual online games in the new era can only be entertainment, which is difficult to achieve.
However, it has to be said that virtual reality technology has given people infinite convenience, and the development of science and technology has made the world better.
……
No matter how online games evolve, eSports will never go away because it's an integral part of gaming.
The advent of virtual online games, and the fact that esports can also move into the virtual world, is a common progress.
Take the popular e-sports games "King of Pesticides" and "LOL Super God" as an example.
You no longer need to use your hands to operate heroes, you can enter the virtual world, incarnate as a hero to fight, and give you 99% of the game experience.
In general, whether it is the virtual reality of competitive games or the stream of monster farming and upgrading, compared with the games of the old society, it can reflect the importance of technical level and game talent.
It can also train people's martial arts, reaction ability, defensive habits, and so on.
Think about it, after you become a hero, do you have to release skills and dodge damage yourself?
In the midst of constant fighting, even a pig can climb a big tree.
Even if it is a virtual world, an illusory battle, people in reality, physical fitness cannot keep up with will and movements, so people will not have the ability to fly away; But with more combat experience, when facing danger, subconscious dodging and fighting are no problem.
Let's not talk about the combat effect, at least there is a chance to react, no more than the old society, when encountering danger, you can only shrink your head or wait for death.
It is precisely because competitive games have not declined that major competitive game clubs still have room for survival, which prompted Ji Long and Wang Rushuang to get to know each other.
It was also because they knew each other that Ji Long's blank piece of paper continued to write a piece of social cognition, and learned how to behave in society, which made him understand that the field of virtual online games is far more complicated than he imagined in the orphanage.
And the knowledge of the historical changes of society is far more than what he learned in the orphanage and in the books.
