Chapter 22: Sync, Enter the Game
Back in the cramped rental room, Tiezhu unpacked and took out the synchronizer he had just bought, a machine that resembled a locomotive helmet that had spent almost all of Tiezhu's savings.
"Warning! Warn! The balance of your utility bill is insufficient, please replenish it in timeγγγ Warn! Warn! Your lease will expire next week, so apply for renewal or discontinuation in time! β
The home AI service system constantly sends out prompts one after another, asking Tiezhu for a fee, and it is also like a ridicule and a slap in the face, mocking and hitting his stupid act of pretending to be a big-tailed wolf.
"What a fucking fuck!" Tie Zhu scolded self-deprecatingly, and then quickly put the synchronizer on his head. The cruel reality forced him to suffocate, and he wanted to escape, even if it was to deceive himself, even if it was to make him mature again.
The moment you press the synchronizer switch, the pitch-black iron pillar in front of you with the helmet feels as if you have traveled through another world. What caught his eye was a white and flawless Hongwei Building with a very technological style. He was standing in the square outside the building, and he looked around, and the square was full of people, of all kinds, hundreds of people, passing by him, entering and exiting the building not far away.
"Greetings distinguished guest, welcome to the world of Pande, I am your guide Lisa and it is a pleasure to serve you." At the same time, hundreds of Lisa-like guides are descending the towering staircase of the building, smiling and guiding the other players upstairs. Each of these beautiful guides is dressed in a radiant manner, sexy and charming, and extremely attractive.
The wonderful power of science and technology made the newcomer Tiezhu very curious, he clenched his hands tightly, something strange happened, his fingers passed directly through the palm, he hurriedly reached out to touch his face, but saw his hand from one side of his face to the other.
"Don't worry, valued guests, this phenomenon is happening because you are still in a 3D virtual image. But don't worry, once you've made your selections and synced them, you'll have a real body to take you on a journey through our wonderful Pander world. Seeing that Tiezhu's face was panicked, Lisa hurriedly walked over and explained to him with a smile.
"Pick? Synchronous? Tie Zhu asked puzzled, these words were so unfamiliar to Tie Zhu.
"Hehe, it seems that you haven't read our manual carefully, please follow me upstairs, let's talk while walking." Tie Zhu listened to Lisa's answer and followed Lisa to the elevator. The elevator stopped on the minus 18th floor, and as soon as he exited the elevator, the iron pillar was once again shocked by the scene in front of him. This entire floor, a huge space of several thousand square meters, is orderly divided into transparent rooms by glass partitions. And in every room, there is a set of equipment that he has never seen before, which looks very high-end. The people in the transparent room are adjusting the appearance of the virtual characters on the virtual display screen with relish. What shocked him the most was that when the people in the room were adjusted, within a few minutes, the equipment in the room that looked like a rescue pod would slowly open the hatch, and out of it came a person who was exactly the same as the virtual character in the display. At the same time, the person who was still standing alive in front of the screen just now disappeared out of thin air! Disappeared under his gaze!
"Lisa, that's what you call the choice, sync?" Tie Zhu looked at the "reborn" people one by one, walked out of the transparent room, walked happily to the elevator, and couldn't help but ask the guide Lisa next to him stupidly.
"Yes, sir, your sync room has arrived, happy playing, numbered N15473159 guided simulator Lisa, glad to serve you." Lisa replied with a smile.
"So you're γγγ too" Tie Zhu looked at Lisa in surprise, he didn't expect that this real beauty was also a simulated person. He shook his head with a faint smile and didn't continue, turning and entering the glass room.
"Hello distinguished guests, welcome to the world of Pande, which is about to enter the selection stage, do you use me as a template?" As soon as the iron pillar entered the room, a gentle system prompt sound was remembered in the room, and the virtual display screen lit up in the air.
"Yes." After Tie Zhu answered, a virtual character identical to Tie Zhu appeared on the screen.
"The template has been formed, please continue to adjust, please press the OK button after the adjustment."
"The synchronization model has been determined, please wait." In order not to be recognized by his ex-girlfriend in the game, Tie Zhu deliberately adjusted his original appearance and slender and well-proportioned figure to ugly.
Where is the ugliness of some?! A few minutes later, an ugly man who made Tiezhu himself want to complain at first sight walked out of the hatch.
"The synchronizer has been generated, please press the sync key to go to the synchronization phase."
"It's you, so that even if we meet inside, she won't recognize me." Tie Zhu thoughtfully pressed the synchronization button, and in the next second, his entire soul seemed to drill into the new body carved by him, so that his consciousness completely controlled the body that came out of the cabin. It's like getting a new lease on life.
Through the glass, Tie Zhu saw himself for the first time after being reborn, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch himself in amazement, the real texture told him that this was no longer a virtual image, but a real body. The feeling of soul travel was magical and wonderful for him, and he finally began to understand what makes the game so appealing.
"The synchronization phase is complete, and now it's time to select the entrance landmark phase." With the system prompt, a huge sand table appeared on the virtual screen, showing the entire Pander world.
There are five major countries in the Pande world, namely the Raven Kingdom located in the north under the Misty Mountains and in the extremely cold land, the Fields Kingdom near the Dawn Sea in the west, the Bacchus Kingdom near the Noldor Forest in the east, the Duchy of Daxia in the desert in the south, and the Lion Kingdom in the central landlocked country.
"That's it." Tie Zhu carefully read the information of each country, and finally decided to go to Xiaoxiao Bay in the Fields Kingdom first.
"The landmark has been determined, please follow the guide to the 89th passage and prepare to enter the world of Pande... Following the prompt, Tie Zhu walked out of the glass room and followed Lisa, who was waiting for him outside, towards the elevator entrance.
"Distinguished guest, you are about to enter the world of Pande, on the occasion of separation, I take the liberty to remind you that being in the world of Pande for a long time may affect your life, in any case, this is just a game, please arrange your time reasonably, we will monitor your data feedback 24 hours a day. Pande World, fulfill all your wishes, and have fun. Arriving at the entrance of the passage, Lisa bowed deeply to the iron pillar and smiled.
"Lisa, thank you for your service, there will be a date later." After smiling and thanking Lisa, Tiezhu slowly walked to the iron gate at the end of the passage, he didn't know what was waiting for him behind the gate, but he believed that it would not be as bad as his own situation in reality.
