July fire, scorching sun.

Even if the curtains are heavy, they can't completely block out the scorching heat of the sun.

The sunlight that came in through the gaps in the curtains formed a square edge of light, bringing only light to the whole room.

Jingle bells!

The phone rang again.

After three rings in a row, it will automatically switch to recording.

"Qin Ran? I'm Dr. Wang, you'll be 18 years old in a year, and if you don't start gene therapy, you'll lose the opportunity completely! ”

Statements are polite, formulas, as always.

Qin Ran ignored it indifferently, lowered his head and looked intently at the game memory card in his hand.

Bright red color, the size of a thumb nail.

After confirming that it was correct, Qin Ran put the game memory card that he had spent all his savings to buy into the card slot of the virtual helmet.

Drip!

With a crisp sound, the indicator light on the virtual helmet changes from red to green.

"Drop! Drip! Drip! No game manufacturer detected, security unknown, please try with caution! ”

A warning tone is heard from the speaker of the virtual headset.

However, Qin Ran didn't care.

An underground game, of course, can't have the so-called manufacturer and security.

A year ago, this game appeared on the market with 100% true lore.

It stands to reason that such a game with a 100% realism is far more than the popular virtual games that are only 30% or 40% realistic, and it must be greatly sought after.

But it turned out to be the opposite, it was banned before it was officially listed.

Because, the game is so real!

It's real, and if you die in the game, you will die in reality!

Less than 1 in 10 of the 3,000 closed beta players survived the closed beta and dropped out of the game.

The death of thousands of people in this way naturally announced the fact that this game would never be released, and after that, Qin Ran heard that some wealthy people joined the game in pursuit of excitement, making this game work again, and it became a real 'underground game' - only a few people can touch it.

In addition to the hidden purchase channels and expensive costs, the fact that death in the game is death in reality also discourages more people.

However, Qin Ran didn't care.

Because, if he can't make up the cost of 3 million in a year, he will definitely die if he suffers from genetic virus disease.

Three million is naturally nothing for a rich person, but for Qin Ran, it is an astronomical amount.

Since he was diagnosed with primary genetic virus disease three years ago, Qin Ran has been working hard to save money.

But...... Bucket!

Three years ago, Qin Ran was fourteen years old, an ordinary junior high school student in the Federation, without any academic qualifications or specialties, even if it was manual work, because of his age, he was completely unqualified.

I can only go to odd jobs.

But no gig worker can afford the $3 million in treatment.

Even if he only slept five hours a day and worked three part-time jobs, Qin Ran had only saved 30,000 yuan in the past three years.

Exactly one percent of the cost of medical care.

This made Qin Ran feel hopeless!

For life, Qin Ran has too many expectations and fantasies, so he ...... He didn't want to die.

But the reality made him have to die!

It was at this time that he heard a rumor from the gold mining studio where he used to work - there were rumors about the 'underground game'.

It is rumored that a single piece of superb equipment can be sold for millions!

After confirming the authenticity of this rumor, Qin Ran made a desperate bet.

He used the savings he had saved from working part-time for three years since he was fourteen to buy a memory card for this underground game, ready to give it a try.

"If you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!"

Qin Ran thought silently.

Putting on his helmet, Qin Ran lay on the bed.

It was dark in front of my eyes, and a piece of text and voice began to appear.

【Identity ID Detection......

[Identity ID confirmed: Qin Ran, 17 years old, orphan, currently living in federal welfare housing......]

【Attribute Detection......

【Welcome to the underground game, the game is about to start......】

【Single dungeon entry!】 】

[Background: The war has swept through the city suddenly, the people are defenseless, most of the people have died in the shelling, the remaining civilians, including you, are struggling in the ruins of the city, and the gunshots from time to time make you panic - the rebels and thugs do not intend to stop, they are red-eyed and murderous to destroy everything!] 】

[Main Quest: Survive for 7 Days, 0/7]

[Side quest (optional): Rescue more civilians until the end of the war, and each civilian rescued can increase the clearance evaluation]

(Hint: Newbie dungeons are a rare opportunity for every player!) ）

When all the words appeared, there was a pause of about three minutes, leaving enough time for Qin Ran to read, Qin Ran's eyes suddenly lit up, dazzling, even if he closed his eyes, it was extremely uncomfortable, so that Qin Ran couldn't help but raise his palm in front of his eyes, and then, he felt that his whole person was in a state of weightlessness that accelerated downward.

The whole process lasted about one to two seconds.

When Qin Ran felt that everything was back to normal, he lowered his palm and opened his eyes.

Suddenly, Qin Ran's eyes widened.

In front of him, less than a meter away, a disemboweled, corpse was leaning there, its head slightly raised, and its cloudy eyes happened to look at Qin Ran, as if they were looking at each other.

Qin Ran's breathing immediately became short.

Since he was a child, Qin Ran had never seen a human corpse.

At most, it's a fight and blood.

At this time, a corpse appeared in front of him, and with this gesture of looking at each other, Qin Ran immediately fell into panic and fear.

And in such a panic, Qin Ran almost instinctively retreated, and did not stop until he hit the wall behind him.

Bang!

The collision between his back and the wall caused the pain that made Qin Ran grit his teeth.

However, the pain relieved Qin Ran a little from his previous horror and gave him a trace of reason.

"It's the game! It's the game! Even if it's 100% real, it's a game! ”

A hint of reason made Qin Ran think of the environment he was in.

He didn't really encounter the corpse, he just got into a copy of the game.

But the reality in front of him, the smell of blood and stench in his nose, made Qin Ran have to look for more direct evidence to convince himself.

"Characters!"

Qin Ran said so.

Qin Ran, who used to do odd jobs in the gold mining studio, is no stranger to the control of some virtual games.

Luckily, some of the rules of the game are universal, and 'Underground Games' is no exception.

As Qin Ran's words sounded, only his visible attribute bar appeared in front of him.

The property bar is divided into three pages.

[Name: Qin Ran]

[Age: 17 years old (male)]

【Bloodline: Human】

[Title: None]

[Health: 100%]

[Stamina: 100]

Qin Ran swept it at a glance, the first page was the basic character state, and the second page began with the character attributes.

[Power: F]

Dexterity: F

【Constitution:F】

【Spirit: F+】

[Perception: F+]

The third page is the skills, equipment, and backpack columns, but they are all empty now.

【Skill: None】

[Equipment: None]

[Backpack: Empty]

(Evaluation: A complete newcomer, worse than cannon fodder!) ）

Even though the final evaluation was full of banter, Qin Ran was smiling.

Because, the appearance of the system bar undoubtedly proves that everything in front of you is the game!

Even if it's 100% true!

Call!

Call!

Qin Ran took a deep breath again and again, getting rid of the remaining panic from before, and calming himself down completely.

And when Qin Ran had enough calm, he subconsciously looked at the disemboweling corpse!

Corpses are scary and panicked in reality, but in the game, corpses represent another meaning: game coins and equipment!

Qin Ran naturally would not forget his purpose of entering the 'underground game' and get enough money to treat his genetic virus disease.

This requires a premise that you have enough strength in the game.

Only with strong strength can you get more game coins and good enough equipment, etc., and only by relying on these game coins and good enough equipment can you exchange for real money.

And the attributes in front of him are low, the skills, equipment, and backpacks are empty, and even the evaluation is not as good as cannon fodder, so he naturally does not have such strength.

So, he needs time to make himself stronger.

And that's not a lot of time!

In reality, there is only one year!

As for the game?

Qin Ran can't judge for the time being, but judging from the time ratio of the previous virtual games, it won't be much longer than the real time.

Therefore, he needs to seize any opportunity to make himself stronger.

And in front of Qin Ran, there is such an opportunity.

Enduring the discomfort in his heart, Qin Ran slowly approached the corpse in front of him.

Even if he knew that there was a game in front of him, it was 100% real, but Qin Ran was no different from flipping a real corpse.

Especially the smell of blood after solidification, which made Qin Ran gag again and again.

Even, Qin Ran subconsciously avoided contact with the corpse's cloudy eyes, and the disemboweling wound didn't even look at it, just kept groping and searching the corpse with his hands.

After a while, Qin Ran's eyes, who were twisting his head slightly, suddenly lit up.

Then, he suddenly looked at the strap that he had groped with his left hand, and with a slight pull, a backpack was pulled off the corpse by Qin Ran.

This backpack was well hidden, coupled with the sitting posture of the corpse, if it wasn't for Qin Ran's careful search, it would be difficult to find it with just the observation of his eyes.

And if it is placed so hidden, there should naturally be some good things.

Subconsciously, Qin Ran's eyes were slightly burning as he looked at the backpack in his hand.
