Chapter 100: The Beginning of All Things

"I just want to stay at home, I don't want to work, work is troublesome. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

This is the mantra of Li Yeshi.

Li Yeshi, male, 23 years old, unemployed at home after graduating from university.

To put it bluntly, it's NEET. (Squatting at home)

Every day, I live a daily life of computer-bed-toilet, carefree, no work and no morality.

"If there was a job where I could make money playing games, I would do it."

This is another mantra of Li Yeshi.

But today, he uncharacteristically sorted out his clothes and was even ready to go out.

"Little leaf, what are you doing here?" Even his parents showed intense shock, not knowing what their son had been stimulated to suddenly figure it out.

Li Yeshi glanced back at his parents, threw down a sentence, and left without looking back.

"I'm going to work."

The two middle-aged men looked at each other and almost collapsed on the ground in fright.

……

"Hmm...... Mr. Lee: Right? The interviewer in a suit looked at the young Internet addict in front of them and nodded approvingly.

"Yes." Li Yeshi, who hadn't seen this kind of scene for a long time, was still a little shy.

The lead interviewer nodded and asked, "Do you know what you're here for?" ”

"Hmm...... Do an internal tester for your company's new game? Li Yeshi replied in a puzzled tone.

"That's right." The female interviewer next to her said, "Do you know why we have to pick people to participate in the internal test?" ”

yes, why? This question suddenly popped up in Li Yeshi's heart.

As a core player of many games, he is very familiar with the routines of the closed game test on the market.

There has always been only a reason for players to pay for the beta activation code, how can there be a game company that spends money on players to come to the beta?

"Looks like you don't know." The interviewer smiled.

Li Yeshi could only nod with a confused face, after all, he really didn't know.

"It's okay if you don't know, let's tell you about it." The female interviewer's tone was gentle, which made Li Ye feel like a spring breeze.

"First of all, our company's new game is a virtual reality massively multiplayer online game." She said slowly.

Virtual reality......?

Li Yeshi was stunned for a moment.

"You're not kidding, are you?" He blurted out subconsciously.

"Nope." The interviewer replied quickly, in a calm tone, not like a joke.

"This kind of ...... Does technology really exist? Li Yeshi couldn't believe his ears.

The interviewer nodded, "Actually, this technology has matured a year ago, but this is the first time that it has been officially used in the private sector like this. ”

"I see...... That's the case......" Li Yeshi seemed to understand something, and said thoughtfully.

"Yes, so in order to test the stability of the holographic device and the inside of the game, we can only find some senior players to participate in our closed beta." The interviewer slowly revealed the truth.

"Because of the need to connect nerves, immersive virtual reality games are life safety hazards." The interviewer continued, "And that's why we're looking for testers at a high price. ”

After listening to this long list, Li Yeshi understood one thing.

He's not just here to test the game, he's here to be a guinea pig.

It's a job of hell.

"You're really honest." Li Yeshi chuckled, "These things are said directly." ”

The interviewer still kept smiling, "Yes, after all, we are responsible for the safety of the tester's life, so it is necessary to inform the precautions beforehand." ”

"You can now choose whether or not to accept our job." The female interviewer smiled.

Choose...... ?

Li Yeshi's mind flashed back to the time when he was squatting at home, and then remembered the words he said to his parents when he first went out, and then shook his head with a wry smile.

"I don't think I have a choice." He looked at the professional outfit OL in front of him and shrugged his shoulders.

"And ...... you mean?"

"I'll do it."

……

In front of Li Yeshi was a small, almost enclosed room and a machine that looked like a bed.

"This is your workshop from now on, it's our game pod, Undefined, you can lie down and try it now, and if there is no discomfort, then your work is ready to begin." A staff member instructed beside him.

"Hmm...... This thing looks like a bed. Li Yeshi said, and lay down.

Unexpected comfort.

"You can use this as a bed!" Li Yeshi felt the pleasure of the sunken body and praised it.

The staff laughed, "This is also our design concept, when you are too tired from the game, you can enjoy the softness of a bed just by going offline, and it can indeed be used as a bed." ”

"Hmm, it's so convenient, it's so convenient! Yu quite likes it! Li Yeshi seemed to appreciate this setting, and there were two strange oral fetishes of characters in the game who didn't know what they were.

Hawkers, after all, for a family squat like him, the greatest happiness is laziness.

"So, can we begin?" The staff asked.

Li Yeshi nodded and lay down his body in a large shape, "Come on." ”

"Okay." The staff pulled down the lever next to him, "Then, I'll wait outside the door, if there is anything needed during the game, I can directly feedback to our staff in the game, and if I wake up and have any needs, just press the bell next to the game cabin." ”

The hatch above the game pod was gradually shrouded over Li Yeshi's head.

"Well, have fun." The staff closed the door.

As the game pod was completely closed, the last glimmer of light in the room disappeared in front of Li Yeshi's eyes.

The next moment, the cabin lit up with a faint green light.

A spider-web-like mask was placed over Li Yeshi's face.

As if out of his body, his consciousness gradually blurred.

……

When Li Yeshi woke up again, what appeared in front of him was a transparent white.

He paced quietly in this pure white space, feeling the power of cutting-edge technology.

"It's so real, it's like a dream." He looked at his hands and was struck by the clear lines on them.

Suddenly thinking of something, he gently pinched his arm.

"Hiss-" The sudden, real pain made him grit his teeth.

"Hello." A voice burst out above his head.

Li Yeshi looked up and found that it was a strange-looking, alien-like creature talking to him.

But of course, it's the kind of tall aliens, not the E.T. kind.

"Please select your place of birth." The alien stared at him with big piercing eyes and said in a tone like a novice guide.

What kind of ghost game would use aliens as novice guides, Li Yeshi couldn't help but vomit in his heart.

"Place of birth...... Is this an option? Li Yeshi asked to the sky.

The alien replied with a blank face, "The place of birth is determined by your IP, but you can choose a specific location within this range. ”

"I see," Li Yeshi looked at the information box that suddenly appeared in front ......of him.

There are only a handful of three options on it.

Barren Rock Village, Silver Sand Cliffs, Windward Canyon.

"It feels like it's all remote." Xia couldn't think about it, "Then it's better to choose a village." ”

With a single click, he chose the village of barren rocks.

"The last step is to set an email name and ID for your character, which is a must-have when adding friends, and can only be in English or numbers." The aliens continued to lead.

"What, the last step, I haven't chosen a career yet?" Li Yeshi asked in surprise.

"Classes are earned through quests after entering the game." The alien replied.

"That's right." Li Yeshi nodded, "Okay then." ”

Mailbox...... Mailbox...... English...... Li Yeshi racked his brains to think.

He's a noun, obviously.

"Forget it, just set it to NEET, anyway, no one will occupy it during the closed beta period now." Li Yeshi easily pressed OK and set his email name.

"Please set your game ID." The alien prompted.

Li Yeshi smiled, "Then use the ID I usually use to play games." ”

He expertly typed seven words into the box, and then photographed the OK.
