Prologue: The Pain of Anticipation

Next Chapter

In 3007 AD, the earth entered the global informatization, but the development of science and technology did not bring substantial changes to the society, a large number of artificial intelligence, in life to bring convenience but also bring high unemployment. The large number of unemployed people has brought great pressure to social order, various crimes have emerged one after another, and people have become more and more degenerate. In this context, countries are unanimously supporting online games to allow people to enter the world of games, thereby reducing the pressure on society.

"Jianghu", "Kingdom War", "Elf Fantasy"... Countless games are frantically flocking to the market, and some people are constantly eliminated by the cruel market competition, but more companies are crazy to join in, and a large amount of capital has been invested to make the rapid development of hardware technology, cranial nerve control system, virtual sensory simulation, and breakthroughs in various new technologies make the game world more and more perfect. In an instant, the "virtual world" and "new economic era" and other remarks were noisy, as if mankind had inadvertently entered the world of Datong.

However, game companies pursue profits, and the constantly repeated game mode, the game content without new ideas, and the scandals of power and money transactions of Internet companies that are exposed from time to time slowly make people tired of all this, and the bubble in the new economic era is gorgeous and short-lived!

Just when people were tired of online games and the market was getting sluggish, a news appeared like thunder, "Lianfang Company and China Military Technology Brain Domain Research Institute Jointly Create a New Era of Online Games"

People have seen a lot of such advertisements for a long time, but this time it is a little different, because in the previous tide of online games, Chinese Internet companies have not participated, let alone the Chinese government, people know that China has always been in the world leading in the field of brain domain and sensory simulation, and China's online game market is also the world's largest, so for Chinese companies have not participated in the competition, people have been puzzled, discussions, and some people are even very indignant, denouncing China for not wanting to forge ahead. Now it's clear that the market has begun to decline, and China is going to make a big production, and it has an official background, which is very strange, but it also gives people a glimmer of hope.

In July 3007, the hot summer came again, although science and technology continue to advance, but people still have no way to make the summer not hot and the winter not cold, the most that can be done is to continue to strengthen the research on air conditioning, so that people can consume a little less resources in the summer and enjoy a little more cold wind.

"If you don't feel the heat in the summer and the cold in the winter, then what's the truth in life?" Wang Dafu collapsed on his small bed, panting and comforting himself. In fact, two days ago he said in a stirring voice: "The reason why human beings are great is because in the summer we can feel the winter, and in the winter we can embrace the summer." However, the air conditioner broke down in the past two days, and he immediately returned to the truth, and the speed of changing his face was embarrassing!

Wang Dafu, male., 27 years old, unmarried (non-virgin), bachelor's degree, no occupation, monthly income (personal privacy refused to answer). In this era of handsome men and beautiful women running all over the streets, few people will call such a vulgar name as "Dafu", and Wang Dafu's genius father, in order to show his personality, gave his son such a name, and built his fun on his son's lifelong pain. In order to change his name, Wang Dafu made countless efforts, but each one was violently suppressed by his father, and finally Wang Dafu succumbed...

"The heart is naturally cool, the heart is naturally cool... Wang Dafu was lying on the bed and chanting words, while looking at the official homepage of "Life" on the large display screen at the bedside, Wang Dafu suddenly received a call three days ago, saying that the large-scale online game "Life" he applied for half a year ago finally started the public beta after jumping tickets and jumping tickets, and his light brain helmet will be delivered in three days, please prepare to receive, at this time he found. His family's old air conditioner suddenly announced his retirement, refusing to be exploited by him again, and his welfare points this month can only choose between the new air conditioner and the light brain helmet, the two can never have both, this cruel fact makes him look up to the sky and sigh, and finally he can only look forward to the new helmet in three days, while looking forward to the new air conditioner in a month, while feeling the reality of life.

Lying on the bed and slowly looking at the information introduction on the homepage of "Life", Wang Dafu found that there was very little useful information, only some simple background introductions and general settings, and the specific content was almost none, and the official also explained that it was not because they were playing tricks, but because they didn't know! In fact, the development process of "Life" is very interesting, the official just developed a supercomputer, and then entered all the relevant information into the console, and then provided it with a lot of information such as various historical materials, myths and legends and even science fiction, online literature, etc., and then the console automatically generated the game, let it play independently. This method has caused a lot of controversy in the society, and people are very skeptical about the possibility of its success, but no matter how others discuss it, the company will not explain it, but only come up with the latest information from time to time to tell consumers about the progress of the game. The host seems to be constantly improving, each time it comes up with a more complete version, and after some discussions on the Internet by people, it is taken back to continue to improve, and it keeps bouncing tickets, so that everyone complains.

Take a closer look,This game is completely developed by artificial intelligence for the first time, and the biggest feature compared with previous games is meticulous,Because the game developed by humans,Because a person has limited energy after all,It is impossible to be comprehensive,And no matter how tacit a development team has, it is impossible to think completely,This makes the previous games more or less flawed,And this game is developed by a "person" with infinite energy,It can be called comprehensive,So it feels very detailed。

The second feature is huge.,The computer host seems to have designed a huge world.,There are as many as 12 intelligent races.,Respectively on 4 continents.,In addition to these 4 birth continents,Know its location.,The details need to be explored by the player themselves There are 3 continents.,In addition, there are 3 mysterious continents vaguely mentioned.,I don't know if there is a hidden continent.,The area of each continent is twice as large as the sum of all the continents on the earth! Seeing this setting, Wang Dafu's first thought was: "We will definitely be exhausted to death by this damn computer, I don't know if by the end of this damn game, have we explored all the continents... As for the specific situation of each continent, there is no doubt about it, and it will definitely not be explored clearly!"

The third setting aroused Wang Dafu's great interest: "This game is divided into two routes, the classic personal exploration mode and the original management mode. "To put it simply, the classic personal adventure mode is similar to the previous online game setting, which is the mode of fighting monsters and treasure hunting as a mission.

The 12 intelligent races of "Life" are: humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, giants, winged people, sea tribes, undead races, demons, demon races, titans, and special. Each race has many branches, such as the human race is divided into three main distribution centers: the Eastern Continent, the Western Continent, and the New World; Elves are divided into steppe elves, forest elves, dark elves, blood elves, etc., dwarves are also divided into mountain dwarves, hill dwarves, dwarves, goblins, halflings and other categories, in addition to orcs, sea tribes are very large races, in short, the number of races to choose from in "life" has exceeded people's imagination, but the official has stated that there is no hidden race setting, and everyone does not need to explore in this area.

The occupations in each continent in "Life" are different: there is no occupation in the Eastern Continent, only skills and schools, and the skills are all-encompassing, including all kinds of martial arts and internal strength and other combat skills, as well as medical skills, painting and other life skills, of course, the learning conditions are different, but in general, as long as someone teaches, everyone can learn, but the learning effect is not necessarily, it all depends on personal talent and personal effort; As for the sects, just like the general martial arts online games, including Shaolin Wudang and so on, the number of sects is very large, but the specific number is for players to explore by themselves. In addition, the official specifically pointed out that there is no hidden sect, please don't have illusions! In addition, non-human intelligent creatures can also learn martial arts in the entry school, but the effect is not guaranteed, and the entry conditions are also relatively strict.

The Western Continent is a traditional career setting, including warriors, knights, thieves, archers, magicians, priests and other 6 basic professions, each profession has several advanced professions to choose from, and at the same time can be advanced across professions, but the specific effect is for players to explore by themselves, or there is no hidden profession in the old rules! Similarly, non-human races can also work in these professions.

The new world is a family setting, each family has a different bloodline inheritance, such as the Superman family, the Batman family, the Spider-Man family, etc., each family's bloodline inheritance is different, their abilities are also different, and the inheritance methods are also different, the bloodlines can be fused with each other, but the specific effect is for players to explore by themselves, there is also no hidden family, and other races can also join the family but the effect is not guaranteed!

The subcontinent is the main gathering place of non-human races (but not the only gathering place),The setting here is race,Different races can find and learn their own race-specific skills here (including humans,As long as you can come),This is also the main skill learning area of non-human races,Of course, this is not the only learning area,Other places such as the elf kingdom,Orc kingdom,Underwater continent, etc. can also learn skills,These will be after the player enters the game,Detailed guidance by the system

The above is the main setting of the so-called classic personal adventure mode, except for a little bigger, a little more complex, there is nothing new, and it has not aroused Wang Dafu's interest, he likes another model - the original management model. This mode is simply to build a city, just like the previous single-player game "SimCity" series, of course, the specific content is different, but the idea is the same.

In this mode, the player will have his own territory as soon as he is born, become a low-level village chief, and the player's goal is to continuously build a small village, upgrade it, and finally become a large city or even a royal capital! However, there are many restrictions for players who choose this mode, first of all, players can only operate in the sphere of influence of their own territory, the lowest level village has a sphere of influence of 100 square kilometers around, and the highest level 5 village is 500 square kilometers; The sphere of influence of the first-level town is 1,500 square kilometers around the city, and the fifth-level town is 5,500 square kilometers; The sphere of influence of the first-level city is 15,500 square kilometers in the surrounding area, and the area of the fifth-level city is 55,500 square kilometers; Level 5 cities can also continue to be upgraded, and the specific content can be explored by yourself in the game. After reading this introduction, the rich brother scolded secretly: "OOXX, can't you write it all honestly?" If you have to make a fool of yourself here, XX you OO"

Each village has a population limit, and when the population limit is reached, the population cannot continue to increase (limited to the permanent population, the floating population is not counted), of which the upper limit of the population of the first-level village is 50 households (the upper limit is not calculated by people, but by households, even if a household has 50 people, it is still counted as a unit), 100 households in the second-level village, 200 households at the third level, 500 households at the .4 level, and 1000 households at the 5th level; 5,000 households in Level 1 Town, 10,000 households in Level 2, 20,000 households in Level 3, 50,000 households in Level 4, and 10W households in Level 5; 50w households in Level 1 cities, 100W households in Level 2, 200w households in Level 3, 500 households in Level 4, and 1000w households in Level 5; The upgrade of the village in the game is related to the number of people and the degree of construction, so please explore the upgrade method above the town. 'XXOO! Can you not whet people's appetites! 'Wang Dafu has already escaped from anger!

The population includes the settled NPCs of the province and the settled players. The ratio of the number of NPCs and the number of players in this game is 1000:1, that is, 1000 NPCs are generated at the same time as each player creates a character, and players and NPCs can fully interact.

Please note that no matter how far your territory develops, it may be destroyed at one time, rather than being downgraded one by one, and the destruction of your territory will be automatically deleted by the player, so please manage your territory carefully. Looking at the several methods of destruction that flashed on the screen, Wang Dafu's cold sweat fell: "Make no mistake, there are even mushroom clouds, whether this is a martial arts fantasy online game, or a modern technology online game!" ”

"I have never introduced this game, it must be a martial arts fantasy class, oh, it is not impossible to appear an atomic bomb." The sudden sound that came out of his ears directly scared Wang Dafu from the bed and fell to the ground!

"You... Who are you? Why didn't you come in without saying hello! How did you get in!" Wang Dafu's forehead was covered with black lines, and he looked at the guy in front of him and roared.

"I knocked on the door, you didn't hear me, and you don't seem to lock the door!" The guy in front of him said with a relaxed face.

At this time, Wang Dafu remembered that because the weather was too hot and he was waiting to accept the helmet, he didn't close the door at all.

"Is it possible to enter with the door open? You're too rude, what's the matter with you," Wang Dafu said angrily.

"I'm looking for a public toilet, and I found it by the smell," said the person who came in with an honest face.

"What do you say, you dare to say it again!" The honest man angered another lazy guy, and Wang Dafu was furious: "How can I have the smell of a public toilet here, it should be the smell of a garbage dump!" I'm going to sue you for slander!"

The honest person was immediately defeated by this sentence, and a string of black lines flowed down his forehead: "Just kidding, I am the sales and service representative of the second group of the fifth division of the Chengguan branch of the customer service department of the Lanhai branch of the western branch of the Lianfang Company, my name is 。。。。。 ”

"You can shut up, you just say that you are here to send me a helmet, then come so much nonsense, give me things, you can leave" The rich brother was immediately stunned by a series of titles, and it took a long time to figure it out, it turned out to be a door-to-door delivery brother.

"Oh, okay, please sign here... Okay, congratulations on becoming our company's ~~~~~~~" A series of standard business greetings popped out of the delivery brother's mouth, and the rich brother was angry again: "Shut up, don't delay my time to play"

"Okay, then I wish you a happy game" Tang Seng's little brother walked to the door and suddenly turned around and said: "By the way, because the console is going to improve the game again, so this game will officially start public beta next month." ”

"~~~ My air conditioner! ~~~ My tech life!" Wang Dafu was completely knocked down by this sentence.
