Location: A small three-story building near the suburbs of City C, parallel plane to Earth.

It's hard to imagine that this small building worth tens of millions is the residence of a young man born in 2097 and less than twenty-four years old this year.

The name of the owner of the house is Chu Nan.

The origin of the name is very simple, his father's name is Chu Yun, and his mother's name is Fang Nan.

It's just that after Chu Nan understood a little bit about things, the homonym of this name gave him a lot of trouble.

It's a trivial thing to become a "stalk" that can never be erased, and Chu Nan has been used to it for so many years.

The key is that after living for twenty-three years, Chu Nan has really never been touched by women!

It's not that Chu Nan can't get tough, it's not that he is not treated well by girls, on the contrary, with his comfortable appearance, carefulness, very assertive judgment and meticulous and wonderful thinking, Chu Nan has been favored by women since he was a child.

Especially since I was in high school, I started to mix in the gaming world.

But Chu Nan has never met the so-called "her in my heart", and Chu Nan is not a person who is willing to "spend money to have fun", so some things have been delayed until now.

Chu Nan was not very willing to change his name, after all, this was a proof of his parents' love for each other.

At this time, he was in his own special game room.

As soon as he quit the game, Chu Nan held the game helmet, stared at the words "Continent of the Gods" printed on the helmet, exhaled lightly, put the helmet on the table, and looked up at the pendulum hanging on the wall.

The time recorded above is detailed:

April 1, 2120, 20:31.

According to Western custom, today is April Fool's Day.

To be honest, it's a coincidence that the Continent of the Gods chose to end the closed beta today, and the words left to the players at the end are like an April Fool's Day joke for the occasion.

Chu Nan: "On April 1st, there are still three days, and it's time to go to the graves of my father and mother." ”

Chu Nan is an orphan, her mother has congenital heart disease, and when she gave birth to him, she had a difficult birth and did not survive in the end.

Chu Nan didn't even have a chance to shout "Mom" in person, all that was left for Chu Nan was a photo of the past and a roll of videos that her mother had already recorded.

As for Chu Nan's father, he was a soldier, and after his mother died, Chu Nan's father took more care of Chu Nan, but when Chu Nan was two years old, he participated in a large earthquake relief.

The natural disasters of nature are so terrible that people are helpless, and the continuous aftershocks have stopped many lives from breathing, and his father, unfortunately, is one of them.

Chu Nan has forgotten whether he complained because he was ignorant when he was a child, in short, now he can see it very clearly, and he is more guilty about his parents.

If you really want to dig deeper, if it weren't for Chu Nan, maybe his mother wouldn't have had a difficult birth or a heart attack, and his father might not have been half an hour late because he was going to send him to the nursery class, just in time for the aftershock.

If it weren't for Chu Nan, his parents would have been a model couple who had been in love for many years by now.

Therefore, in Chu Nan's growth experience, although he suffered countless white eyes and ridicule, he didn't complain much.

Both parents died, and other relatives with blood relations did not seem to have the will to raise and take care of Chu Nan, thanks to the small wealth left by his parents and good education benefits, so that Chu Nan could have food and shelter like a normal child, and he could go to school and study, and because of these encounters, Chu Nan was too precocious than his peers, as early as ten years old, Chu Nan could judge a person's character with careful observation and thinking.

Fortunately, these encounters did not make Chu Nan withdrawn or mentally abnormal, after all, there are still many good people in this world, and there are many people who sneered at Chu Nan during school, but the teachers and classmates who care about Chu Nan are more.

When he was in high school, because the money left by his parents was about to be spent, Chu Nan had to think of ways to earn money.

For an underage child, the greatest possibility of earning money may be from the game.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the game industry has been booming, resulting in a huge industrial chain and ways to make money.

Now, in the early 22nd century, gaming has long since become the "ninth art", a field with exaggerated vitality and crazy opportunities.

As early as many years ago, the so-called evening self-study in high school has become an independent choice for students, and therefore, Chu Nan has not taken evening self-study since high school, but went to the cheapest area of the Internet café to earn money from the game.

There is a saying in the West, "When God closes a door for you, he will open a window for you."

Chu Nan's fate seems to be compensated for in the game, and he has a surprising talent for playing, or to be more accurate...... It's called Game Ideas!

The traditional perception of game talent is the reaction and operation of playing games.

And Chu Nan's game talent is the idea and routine of playing games!

CSF (Shootout) WCG Global Finals Fifth Place, Doomsday Survival (Survival Class) World Classic Fourth Place, Gods and Demons Alliance (MOBA Class) Global Finals Runner-up Substitute, Dropped City and Warriors Multiple Purgatory Copies Single Brush Record Holder, Tiandao OL (Xianxia Game) The title is Shushan Qingfeng Sword, and the pioneer of the Magical Origin OL (Fantasy Game) Violent Flow Arcanist Playing Style......

These jaw-dropping titles are Chu Nan's gaming achievements in a total of seven years from high school to college graduation.

Although strictly speaking, Chu Nan's reaction and operation in playing games are inferior to those champion-level characters, but his understanding of the rules of the game, the use of game characters, his peculiar thinking, the development of routines and unique tactical strategies allow Chu Nan to compete with these top players in the game.

In seven years, relying on the prize money of the tournament and the trading of game items, Chu Nan has accumulated a lot of wealth, although for a real rich man, the net worth of two or thirty million is not worth mentioning, but for a twenty-three-year-old self-made young man, it is enough for him to live a comfortable life.

The last time Chu Nan appeared in the game circle was at the World Finals of the League of Gods and Demons, as an all-round substitute, he replaced all five positions in the team from top laner to support, relying on completely contrary to the normal situation and rhythmic thinking to force a team that should stop in the top eight to the final finals.

Although in the end, he was given 3 by five masters who are also from China, and their reactions and hand speed are not as fast as people; 0 was easily taken away, Chu Nan's omnipotence and strategy still left a deep impression on the players of the God and Demon Alliance.

But since then, Chu Nan has lost the news, and it has been until today.

In this era of information explosion, Chu Nan has disappeared for more than a year, and Chu Nan has gradually been forgotten by players, after all, although Chu Nan is very famous in the game industry, he is not the most famous handful.

The most famous than Chu Nan is, of course, those champions or first people who have reached the pinnacle in various game fields, but if you want to say that players who are proficient in most game types on the market and have achieved enough achievements, maybe only Chu Nan is really the only one.

And the reason why Chu Nan disappeared is very simple, he has made enough money, and he is tired of it.

The current game market seems to have fallen into a bottleneck, and the graphics of VR and AR are no longer as rough as in the last century, which is enough to be called fake and real, but the unbalanced modifications in the game that are increasingly compromised for money, as well as the stagnation of gameplay, make Chu Nan feel a little boring.

Of course, the most important point is the sense of substitution.

Nowadays, VR and AR games on the market occupy the mainstream, but the sense of substitution only stays at the picture and the most basic physical phenomena.

For example, with a gaming helmet in place, enter a dedicated gaming equipment area, and when you jump up during the game, there will be a rope around your waist that pulls you up and creates the feeling of being in the air.

However, the sense of disobedience that does not fully follow the physical phenomena of reality makes people a little uncomfortable.

In the game, you see ice and snow, but in reality, you are wearing short sleeves, and you are obviously attacked by the enemy, but in reality, it is a soft plastic that collides with the body, which feels like being hit by cotton.

The bigwigs in the game industry have been researching neurosensory for more than ten years, and now they can't come up with anything except the most basic concepts.

However, the Continent of the Gods is an exception.

That is, even if Chu Nan reaches the end of the internal test, it is still just a game of "the tail of the crane on the level list".

Continent of the Gods!

The bland nature of the name is completely inversely proportional to the quality of the game.

After entering the game, you know what it means to be immersive, all the senses and reality are completely indistinguishable, standing under the sun will feel hot, drinking water will be cold and moist from the mouth into the throat, all the way to the stomach feeling, go to the forest to breathe the air will feel refreshed, and even in the early days, some players were torn off by monsters and crippled on the ground and wailed for four hours!

The most exaggerated thing is that when players use magic energy to cast skills, they can clearly feel the interaction with the elements, which is too wonderful to describe in words.

And that damn fighting skill, the spell that leads to charge and magic awkwardness, and the wisdom of NPCs and monsters.

It's just like the real thing!

The most intuitive feeling of all players in the closed beta is-

It's not a game, it's a time-travel!

In Chu Nan's eyes, this game is so perfect.

If it weren't for the game helmet that the game company delivered to his home very considerately two months ago and waived all fees, Chu Nan might really miss this game that can be said to be a cross-century game.

However, the publicity of the Continent of the Gods does not seem to be very good, whether it is in reality or on the Internet, there is no publicity about this game, and the only information that can be found about the Continent of the Gods is their official website.

But when you open the page, there is only a dark background board and words written side by side in multiple Chinese, which roughly means "stay tuned".

Such a game, which can be ranked at the top of the market, is like a game that has been abandoned in terms of publicity, which makes Chu Nan puzzled.

But if you really want to talk about it, there are more weird and incomprehensible things in the game, such as the in-game images are all generated one-to-one according to the real appearance of the player's reality and are forbidden to be modified, and all are based on real people's names as IDs, which are also forbidden to be changed.

Although Chu Nan used the internal test to study a lot of things, and even caused his character level to become the lowest in the internal test, the more he knew, the more things Chu Nan doubted.

After all, the internal test time is only two months, which is not enough for Chu Nan to understand everything thoroughly.

"All the news and content of the closed beta must not be leaked to the outside world? Violators will be stripped of their right to play? ”

Chu Nan muttered to himself the words given by the system, and took the stairs to the kitchen on the first floor.

It's almost nine o'clock in the evening, and he forgot to eat dinner while looking up materials in the in-game library, and now his stomach is already in serious protest.

Chu Nan skillfully added water to the pot, took out eggs and conditioning and a handful of noodles, and prepared to make a bowl of egg noodles.

It's not that Chu Nan doesn't have other ingredients at home, it's not that he's lazy and unwilling to make them, but his overhungry stomach is not suitable for eating big fish and meat, and a multimillionaire's family will not have any good ingredients?

Chu Nan twisted the switch several times in a row, but there was no flame on the stove.

"Could it be that the ignition system on the stove is broken again? It's really, it's the third failure this month, the salesman of the pit father, and I will resolutely not buy this brand next time! ”

The ignition system is broken, so you have to find a lighter to light it.

Lighter, on the third floor.

Sometimes taking something is equivalent to a small round trip, and that's the downside of having a house too big.

"If it's in the Continent of the Gods, I'll ...... with a snap of my fingers."

Chu Nan said while imitating the B routine commonly used by fire magicians in the game to "snap his fingers and light the cigarette", but he didn't want to, there was really a cluster of flames coming out with the friction between his fingers, and the gas that was still leaking out on the stove was stirred by the flames, and it burst into flames.

"That's it, ignited the ......"

As a top player, Chu Nan's reflexes are definitely top-notch, but at this time, the reflex arc seems to be a little slower, staring at the burning flames on the stove for a full three seconds before he said the unfinished words.

Chu Nan couldn't help frowning: "Tsk, is it that my amnesia is so serious when I'm only twenty-three years old?" I don't remember I ever learned magic! ”

As one of the rewards for closed beta players, you will experience a small part of the game's features in advance after leaving the Continent of the Gods.

Chu Nan suddenly remembered the words explained by the Gods Continent system, and for no reason, his heart beat faster, and he subconsciously rolled his Adam's apple, but found that he had just drunk water, but his mouth was a little dry at this time.

Chu Nan stretched out his right hand, his eyes were firmly fixed on his palm, and his middle finger and thumb were together.

Boom!

A snap of fingers was accompanied by another flickering flame.

And when the flame appears, the special feeling of communicating with the fire element is the same as in the game!

"System God, you're making a big joke, aren't you?"

Chu Nan wiped his forehead, but Chu Nan's forehead was full of sweat as if he had been exposed to the sun in August for half an hour!

"Open, People Panel!"

Chu Nan almost gritted his teeth and said these six words.

In fact, in the game, the player only needs to meditate in their hearts.

In front of Chu Nan's eyes, like a three-dimensional projection, a column of information appeared.
