Chapter 2: Reminiscing about the Past

"Tsk. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info "The crisp bird's cry is like a punctual alarm clock."

At eight o'clock in the morning, the sunlight came in through yesterday's window and shone on Xia Chen's bed, Xia Chen had already dressed everything and went out with the only 100,000 yuan on his body.

Located in the CQ New Special Economic Zone of the Century Plaza, there are more than a dozen dealers selling "Tongtian" virtual terminals, Xia Chen looked at where he is, this is the remote place of the development zone, CQ is mountainous, the mountains are undulating, his current location is just on the mountainside from the general trend, the other side of the mountainside is the world-famous Century Square, the prosperity of the Century Square and the old houses here decades ago are not in contrast.

Because the demolition here was carried out a long time ago, but for some reason it stopped again, it can be said that there are some people who are dead to the demolition now.

People don't pay attention to the demolition money, more of a nostalgia, and Xia Chen has the opportunity to buy this decades-old building in the hands of a middle-aged couple, I heard that the elderly father of the middle-aged couple here has been reluctant to move out in memory of his deceased wife, until after the death, the middle-aged couple sold this house.

After walking for about half an hour, it is a long distance from the nearest sales office, and you need to take the maglev light rail to reach it after more than a dozen stops. It was already 10 o'clock at noon when the summer dust arrived, and although the scorching heat of CQ had improved due to the implementation of the Environmental Protection Law for many years, it was also unbearable.

Everything in front of him made Xia Chen speechless, the long queue of people was endless, and the beta test of "Tongtian" was a month later, but the game device had been released three months in advance, but obviously, Xia Chen, who entered the studio in his previous life and used a free virtual terminal, could not understand the scene in front of him.

Although he can understand the charm of this game, he never expected it to be like this one month after its release, Xia Chen vaguely remembers that on the day of the first test, the number of online users in China reached 20 million!

The first test is 20 million online! A year later, the average number of people online was 50 million! Xia Chen smacked his tongue, he was really speechless, but it was impossible not to buy it, right?

At eight o'clock in the evening, Xia Chen's hungry heart was close to his back, and he finally lined up himself, looking at the charming service lady, he didn't care about the stars and demeanor, and hurriedly rushed forward.

"Miss, I want a helmet."

"Hello sir, today's virtual terminal is sold out." The charming young lady, wearing a light blue customer service professional suit, outlined her beautiful curves and replied with a smile.

"What?" Xia Chen was startled, came back to his senses, thinking about everything he was facing in line today, the suffering in his stomach, and his face changed a few times: "Miss, no, beautiful Miss, you are my living bodhisattva who saves suffering, help, help." ”

"I'm sorry, sir, we really don't have any." The blue-clothed customer service saw Xia Chen's expression and said unbearably; "We've sold out of the helmets we've reserved for ourselves."

"Ahh

"Sir, sir?" The blue-clothed customer service asked a few words, and the green light in front of the window also changed to a red light, "We're off work." ”

No, Xia Chen was stunned, what is the situation? Seeing this, some people dispersed, some cursed, and some continued to hold on for tomorrow.

It stands to reason that it is impossible to have such a situation where players need to buy helmets in person as they do now, but without exception, in order to ensure the interests of players, all players aged 16-70 must go to the sales center to sign many agreements and guarantees.

For example, players between the ages of 16 and 18 need to be accompanied by a legal guardian to sign, and the game duration shall not exceed 8 hours, etc., which is mandatory by the state.

Xia Chen left lonely, but was stopped by the customer service lady after not walking a few steps.

"Where do you live, sir?"

"Over there on Jinshi Avenue."

"Sir, the wired virtual helmet is gone, but there is still a wireless full-coverage helmet, sir, do you still have it?" The voice of the customer service lady seemed so wonderful at this moment, and it also made Xia Chen sober, the place where he lived was an old house decades ago, and there was no port for a wired terminal at all, that is to say, there was no way to buy a helmet, which he didn't expect at all, he was dizzy for a while, and all he could use was the kind of wireless full-coverage helmet that connected to the satellite.

Xia Chen's biggest concern is that the price of a wireless helmet is three times or three times that of a wired helmet! My savings can barely buy a wired helmet to maintain my food and clothing for three months, and I can't afford to buy a wireless one!

"Miss, is it okay to pay in installments?"

"Yes." The customer service lady smiled.

…………

"It's really heavy-" When he returned home, Xia Chen's first sentence was like this, he was sweating profusely and almost collapsed from hunger, and he sighed after devouring a fast food.

It is not for nothing that wireless terminals are more expensive than wired terminals, fused resistors, backup batteries and other protective helmets for electrical safety, customized POS to protect the security of transactions, and a series of other devices, which dazzle Xia Chen, and all this is because there is no security guarantee for wired ports.

The pitch-black helmet, Xia Chen, slowly put it on his head.

"Ding-Welcome to the World of Babel"

"There are still 29:00:03 until the launch date, please ask the respected players if they have watched the trailer."

The sweet synthesized sound of "Tongtian" has been named a goddess by tens of thousands of otaku, and it is true, although I have listened to it for eight years, hearing this voice again also makes Xia Chen's heart ripple.

Some people say it's Nuwa's voice, others say it's the voice of a famous voice actor, no matter what, hearing this voice again is always a pleasant thing, and the fatigue of the day seems to be swept away.

Think about it quietly, now that the game is still 29 days away, it is time to sort out your future development route in the game.

It is not for nothing that "Tongtian" is called the next century online game by the majority of players, and the famous space physicist Wen Qian Li said two years later: "If we call the system characters in "Tongtian" NPC, then who calls us NPCs? ”

This sentence alone may not add another crown to the second game in the gaming world, but it will undoubtedly be the most shining jewel to embellish it.

Because "Tongtian" is so real, players often ignore the friendliness has become the most fatal point in the later stage, because players have a so-called "play" mentality instead of a "human" mentality, and it is not until a few years later that anyone realizes the true meaning of the slogan of the second world.

It's just that it was all too late, too late.

Too late, Xia Chen sighed, he thought of several beautiful figures, flying through the sky with their wings outstretched, facing thousands of roars in front of him.

"My lord, we'll stay and break the queen for you."

"Your Excellency, please leave."

"Even if it is death, I, I, I must protect the safety of adults!"

One of the figures covered the heart that was already translucent and said with a smile to the frightened Xia Chen, stretching out his slender hand to touch Xia Chen's face, the jade fingers were no longer beautiful and bloody, thinking, but hesitating and dare.

"Huh? It's you? Is there anything you want me to do? ”

"What? Do you want me to be your follower? This kind of thing—"

"It's not that it's not good, it's just, it's just a little too fast?"

Xia Chen snorted inexplicably and smiled bitterly, touched his face, recalled the first bits and pieces, and a thick sadness that could not be dissolved in Xia Chen's heart, his eyes were permeated.

"My lord, please live well."

After all, the jade finger touched Xia Chen's face, and Xia Chen wanted to hold it, but it scratched a faint blood stain and fell.

No, no, doesn't it mean that it can be resurrected, why is it useless, why?

Xia Chen sat on the ground in pain, the precious potion was bubbling and flowing, the golden potion and the blood stains on the ground flowed together, reflecting each other, and the beautiful eyes finally looked at Xia Chen with a smile and lost his lustre.

"What's your name, sir?"

"My name is ——?"

"My name is—what's your name?"

A trace of tears slipped down, and Xia Chen was silent.

You are silent, I just need to secretly kiss it, the bright moonlight illuminates the dawn of tomorrow, and the violent heartbeat hovers in my chest.

Ethereal thoughts, I can't pin, my master, I am willing to turn into a flaming moth, stand in front of you, and shine a peace for you in the dark.

Even if life is like a candle in the wind, even if the swaying will be extinguished, I, my real name, would like to stay only by your side.

I only wish, I only wish to write the chapter of God for you.

"You're a fool, you're all fools." Xia Chen whispered and wiped away his tears. I can vaguely see a figure looking up to the sky and lamenting, if there is an afterlife, I must hold you tightly (men?). hand.

He came to the window, and the Tower of Babel in the second world was in full swing with the finishing touches, what kind of secret do you have in the second game "Babel"?

How can a game be as real as the hand of God?

He sighed quietly, raised his wrist, his right hand looked at the moon, the mottled moon, the white hand, is this period of time real?

Fragmented hair, dark eyes, silent, long, closed eyes.

The throbbing of the breeze will never be alone, your heartbeat, I still remember, your heartbeat, I still listen, now, you are dead, and I am still alive.

You're dead, I'm still alive, and you're crying and saying to me, please don't forget me.

You're dead, I'm still alive, you smiled and said to me, you must protect me.

I used to think that the world was just virtual reality, constantly ignoring you, even if you were bruised in front of me.

But what about virtual reality, virtual reality, virtual reality?

You're dead, and you're trying to catch my hand, and you're falling, and you're falling, and the angel's feathers are dancing.

So in this life, how about I grasp you with my hands?

The moon dances with the clouds, and under the goose-yellow moonlight is a pair of eyes that are suddenly open.
