Chapter 1, Testing Rights
If the most eye-catching thing in recent years is the engineering technology of the Murong family's virtual chip terminal access controller, referred to as the XS project.
From the mention to the implementation of this plan, a total of 19 years. Just two years ago, the countdown to the beta version of the XS program began. Since its publication, the news has received more than 100 billion views.
In the past two years, the rhetoric has shifted from expectation to skepticism, and then back to expectation. Because, the launch of the XS program is coming. The arrival of the press conference also means that the virtual chip simulator will also be eligible for snap-up purchases.
Murong's family is located in an S-level city south of the Central City, which has a population of more than one billion and is a veritable big city called Suzaku. There are also three S-level cities with a population of more than one billion around the central city, namely Xuanwu in the north, Qinglong in the east, and Baihu in the west.
The very center of these four S-level cities is the main city, Central City. Central City has almost all the most boundaries, and the only ones that are not among them are the Scientific Research Center of Vermilion Bird City and the Academy of Abilities of Qinglong.
The launch of the XS project was held in Central City. The recent large-scale influx of people from all over the world has made the already lively city even more lively.
The press conference is imminent, and the live broadcast channel opened by the Murong family has long been overcrowded, and those who can't go to Central City to watch have chosen to squat under the official account and wait for the live broadcast, and Lin Wan is one of them.
It was already 13:50 a.m., and the press conference began at 14 o'clock. Lin Wan stared at the computer in front of him while eating, the computer screen was full of large barrages, either ahhh
Pouting, Lin Wan closed the barrage, looked at the official countdown on the screen, there were still eight minutes, enough to finish eating, thinking that Lin Wan was no longer looking at the screen, but lowered his head and ate quietly.
Lin Wan lives in an A-level city, this city is called Bai Yu, the city is as its name suggests, most of the city members here are birds, and most of the attributes are wind. However, Lin Wan is the remaining part of most of them, which are: heterobotanical system, animal lineage, and mutant system. Lin Wan, on the other hand, is a member of the heterophyte line.
Lin Wan, like most of the members of the heterobotanical system, is close to plants, and his attribute is wood, which is very ordinary.
There are many people of all kinds in this realm, such as the young city lord of White Feather City, in an era when most birds were wind attributes, he awakened the fire attribute, which has little effect on birds.
Just like the battlefield of birds is in the air, the wind attribute can perfectly present this, what is the difference between a bird that can't fly and a bird that folds its wings? After all, birds are not born with rough skin and thick flesh, and they have always relied on agility.
But the heterophytophyte system is just the opposite, the same attributes make it difficult to stand out from it, and a city member like Lin Wan grabs a lot of the land boundary. The few other attributes are simply rare. Like a poisonous alien plant, or a healing ......
The beast system is the highest fault tolerance among them, no matter what you awaken, you can have your own set of plays, the difference is only who has more energy.
In such a comparison, the mutant system is not bad, if you find the right direction, there is always a place. The mutant system is divided into an outer body and an inner body. The variation of the outer body is often related to strengthening, and most of the inner body is also linked to the spirit. For example, some people can strengthen themselves as solid as a rock, and some people can lose their minds due to the mental fluctuations produced by their eyes.
When Lin Wan finished eating the food in his hand, it was already thirteen:59. Watching the countdown on the screen slowly reach single digits, Lin Wan gradually became intent.
On the screen, the representative of the Murong family began a detailed discussion of the press conference, talking about the beginning of the project, the bitterness of the period, and the final results. Time passed slowly, and finally sounded in my ears: "Then, the next step is the time to rush for test qualifications, good luck to everyone." ”
Lin Wanben's somewhat tired brain became active again after hearing this. He shook his head and sat up straight. The screen flashed with the city lords of various cities, first S-level, soon to A-level, and in a blink of an eye, to B-level, and slowly to C-level.
The city lords of a total of 128 cities in the entire territory were all seated in the conference hall of the central city, and all of them were absent.
The beta rush didn't start with the Realms. Instead, it first goes through the hands of each city to grab on behalf of each city, and the number of places in the city where the city is located will be as many as there are, and then the rush purchase right will be opened to the city members of the land boundary.
There is a cap on the number of places in each batch of cities, and there are reserved places in each city.
The maximum number of places is 100,000 for S level, 80,000 for A class, 50,000 for B class, and 30,000 for C class.
Reserved places: 5,000 for S level, 3,000 for A level, 1,000 for B level, and 500 for C level.
There are a total of 300,000 places launched by the Murong family this time, of which 260,000 are given to various cities, and the remaining 40,000 are open to the entire territory in the form of a lottery for all members.
Lin Wan thought about it, if she couldn't grab the quota in Bai Yu City, she could still fight for the quota in the external lottery, after all, it was not clear how many places Bai Yu City could have. However, if you can't even grab the quota within White Feather City, the hope of grabbing the lottery place in the realm is even slimmer, after all, there are tens of billions of people in the entire realm......
The competition for places is divided into four batches, corresponding to the level of each city, and the A level where White Feather City is located is in the second round.
There are nine S-class cities. In the first round of competition, there was no suspense, and the number of votes of each family was almost the same, almost at the same time, thousands and tens of thousands at the same time. When it stabilized 10,000, it quietly began to divide the rest. The end result ends with an inaudible difference.
Compared to the first round, the number of places in the second round can be said to be a bit of a bump, and the difference in the number of places in this round is incredibly large from the start. First, there is a number of more than 10,000 places, and there is a family with fewer places hovering on the edge of more than 1,000. There are a total of 18 A-level cities, and if one of them accounts for 10,000 places, and this number of places is still rising, it means that the remaining 17 cities can share fewer and fewer votes.
Lin Wan stared at the undulating data line on the screen with some anxiety, the current difference in the number of votes is so large, and the number of votes in Bai Yu City is only more than three thousand, which is no different from reserved places. But slowly, Lin Wan found that the votes of the more than 10,000 cities that occupied the top spot at the beginning began to decline, while the votes of Bai Yu City rose at a speed visible to the naked eye. Four thousand, five thousand, six thousand, seven thousand, eight thousand...... It didn't start to slow down until 8,000.
Lin Wan's burst of joy almost burst out.
In the end, the number of votes in White Feather City stopped at 8,897, surpassing the city of more than 10,000 at the beginning by a narrow margin.
The remaining two batches are nothing special, and the number of places in each city at all levels is about the same.
At this point, the press conference has come to an end for the time being, and the time for the city staff to snap up the purchase is at 20 o'clock in the evening. Lin Wan exhaled, got up and stretched, and walked out of the room instead.
Lin Wan went straight to the kitchen after going downstairs, opened the refrigerator and took a cup of yogurt, and walked outside the kitchen while drinking. This kitchen is open-plan, and once you enter it, you can see the situation in the yard. At this time, there was an old man standing in the yard who was watering, the yard was lush and green, and there were many flowers, after all, it was spring.
"Limber." Lin Wan stood at the door outside the kitchen and shouted at the old man.
Hearing this, the old man turned to Lin Wan: "Young master, the press conference is over?" ”
"Hmm." Lin Wan responded, paused and said: "The rush to buy the test qualification is at eight o'clock in the evening, what does Lin Bo want to eat for dinner?" I'm ready to go out. ”
The old man softened his eyes when he heard this: "Don't bother the young master, the old man just went out once, and he bought everything he should buy, so the young master can go out if he wants to, and he can use dinner when he comes back." ”
Lin Wan nodded when she heard this, and went out. Lin Bo looked at Lin Wan's back with a smile, waved his hand and went into the kitchen to work.
After going out, Lin Wan, who didn't know what to do, walked lazily on the road. Originally, I wanted to sit for an afternoon and go out for a walk to move my muscles, but I asked Lin Bo but didn't get an answer about where to go. Sighing, Lin Wan walked towards the market, thinking about buying something to eat.
There were a few people scattered on the road, all talking about virtual chips.
After arriving at the market, Lin Wan walked towards the fruit area, bought some of his usual favorite foods and went home. In the evening, Limber made braised pork ribs, stir-fried cabbage, and egg soup with tomatoes. After eating, Lin Wan washed a few fruits and finished them with Lin Bo in a casual chat. After that, I packed up and went upstairs to wait for the time to buy it.
After going upstairs, Lin Wan lay on the bed and closed her eyes for a while, feeling a little drowsy. Suddenly there was a ringtone, Lin Wan opened her eyes, got up and turned off the alarm, then patted her face, and then sat in front of the computer, it was already nineteen:50. Less than 10 minutes before 20 o'clock.
Lin Wan clicked on the snap-up interface in advance, and stopped at the snap-up interface of the city staff of White Feather City according to the instructions. Eye-catching 8897 on the interface. Lin Wan exhaled unconsciously, although the high price eliminated a large part of the people, but the flow of people in White Feather City was as much as 70 million, even if most of them had been eliminated, there were still a large number of people who had the capital and the ability to snatch the eight thousand eight hundred and ninety-seven places belonging to White Feather City.
There are more monks and less porridge...... I can only pray that I am lucky.
Soon, the countdown to the rush purchase reached single digits again, Lin Wan paused to breathe, and watched the countdown slowly go from five to four to three to two...... At the end of the countdown, the moment the buy button lit up, Lin Wan immediately pressed it, just this moment, 8897 has become 0, if he is not mistaken, indeed, it is 0 that jumped directly from 8897.
Lin Wan wasn't sure if he had grabbed it at all, the interface seemed to be stuck, he tried to swipe the screen, but there was no movement. Lin Wan was a little anxious, and knocked on the screen suddenly, but the screen went black at this time, and a message popped up with the black screen:
[Congratulations!] Gain the right to test the virtual chip terminal access controller! ]
Before Lin Wan could cheer, there was a knock on the door.
"Young master, the old body didn't bother you, did he?" Limber's voice remembered
Lin Wan got up and opened the door, her face still uncontrollably excited: "Lin Bo, I have grabbed the right to test!" ”
"Really? Congratulations, young master. Lin Bo looked at the young man's happy eyebrows in front of him, and couldn't help laughing: "The old body has something to say." ”
"What?" Lin Wan took away her expression.
"The old body wants to go out to the black forest, don't hide it from the young master, the old body has always felt that the energy in the body has reached a saturated state recently, and it may be about to break through. So I wanted to look for an opportunity. ”
Lin Wan frowned: "But didn't Lin Bo go to Neilin in previous years?" ”
There are three types of living environments in the Realm. One is the city, the second is the inner forest, and the third is the outer forest. As the name suggests, a city is a gathering place for human beings. The inner forest is a hunting ground fenced off by the boundary, and there are special forest rangers, and as long as there is a signal for any situation, a search and rescue team will rush to help. There are no rangers in the outer forest, as it is the territory of flood beasts, undeveloped areas, and is an excellent synonym for danger.
The black forest, on the other hand, belongs to the outer forest.
"Young master, the old body knows what the young master means, but don't worry, the old body will be careful."
Lin Bo's insistence made Lin Wan have no choice, so he had to respond.
Lin Wan has always been envious of those who can sense energy, because he didn't know what energy was since he was a child. Although Lin Wan has factions and attributes, he just can't feel the fluctuation of energy, which makes Lin Wan, whose ability is already popular, even more insignificant...... There are tens of billions of people in this realm, and the most lacking and least rare are people like Lin Wan.
