Chapter 1: The Beautiful Angel of Darkness

"Big brother, it's been fifteen minutes, that guy can't be joking, right?"

"Yes, this Elite Quest of Viper Valley has hidden achievements, and we can't do it after a month of trying. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info that kid said that a person can do it, but there is no video verification, and the price is so high, why do I think it's unreliable? ”

Outside a green valley, several people wearing various armors were looking up into the valley from time to time.

One of them, a burly man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was wearing extraordinary armor that constantly seeped out with a halo of light, and several people around him were muttering a little uneasily.

"Humph!"

The big man snorted very calmly and said: "You must not underestimate this master, although this master brother feels that he is not very old, but now the person who can wrap this copy and get the hidden task achievement is afraid that in addition to professional e-sports players, there are less than twenty people who can do it." This kind of person, if it weren't for the introduction of an acquaintance, you wouldn't be able to invite you to spend several times the money. ”

"That's what Big Brother said." A small man with sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and a mage's robe smiled and accosted, "You didn't notice that guy's title when it came out?" 'Super Replica Guide'! I don't know how many people you have to bring to get the title of the dungeon, the absolute elite title, tsk......"

A group of people were discussing, and suddenly a fat warrior shouted: "Everyone, pay attention to the team status bar!" That guy's HP is dropping fast! ”

"What? Is the master brother okay? ”

Everyone's faces changed color and opened the team status bar. On that, you can clearly see the health, mana, and status of each team member in this dungeon.

At this moment, next to the avatar with a golden banner symbol in the first position of the member, the HP blood gauge representing health is decreasing at a rapid rate.

Just when everyone was amazed, the amount of HP of the master brother was less than one-third left.

Everyone gasped, if the captain died, the mission would be over.

And this hidden game achievement, although the rewards are amazing, but once it fails, all the previous pre-tasks for a month will be invalid and need to be rerun, which is definitely enough to make everyone cry.

"The captain has less than a quarter of his HP left! When encountering a monster, a high attack will send a dungeon due to death! ”

"If the captain dies, the mission will be declared a failure!"

"Big brother, are you sure this master brother is really not a parallel import? We're all together ...... money."

"There are thirty-two points left in the HP! Less than a tenth! ”

The little mage squatted on the ground on the spot, almost crying: "Big brother, this money is a trivial matter. However, there are a lot of rare items in the pre-quest that need to be collected again, so you can ......"

A voice suddenly sounded: "But what? Take this and go hand in the quest when I'm out of the party and out of the dungeon. Don't forget to hand it in early, because I will complete this task and I won't be able to get in next time. Also, the remaining half of the funds can now be traded to me. ”

A young man wearing a silver ghost-faced fanged mask and a cyan robe with a Tai Chi pattern threw a wooden box with an ancient pattern into the hands of the burly man.

A crowd gathered around, staring at the wooden box with wide eyes, their jaws almost dropping to the ground.

The burly warrior man, who originally had a calm expression, couldn't help but take the wooden box and take a closer look at it, before he sighed loudly: "This hidden quest 'Bloodless Soul Eater Box' requires the dungeon not to kill a monster throughout the whole process, and to get back the Soul Eater Wooden Box in its sleeping lair from the sleeping final boss Earth Demon King, the difficulty is definitely S-level." ”

The other team members had already come up at this moment, and one of them said: "Yes, there are all kinds of elite monsters along the way, and it is almost impossible not to trigger the battle, what level of micro-manipulation can this be done?" ”

"Didn't say that!" The little mage gave a thumbs up: "Master brother, this is definitely using a very high-level game helmet, at least at the level of a professional player!" ”

The warrior man happily traded the agreed fifty gold coins to the ghost-faced boy, and then laughed heartily and said, "Brother master, thanks to you, this task is completed." Next time I want to contact you if a friend has a need! ”

The ghost-faced boy strode towards the exit of the dungeon, and waved his hand with his back to everyone: "No need, I will only occasionally take this job of taking people through the dungeon to get hidden achievements." I don't know when I'm interested next time. Everyone...... Bye. ”

After a flash of light, the boy disappeared into the waypoint at the exit of the dungeon. A group of players in the dungeon began to argue about how much the advanced game virtual helmet was worth for this master brother.

In a small room of about ten square meters, a young man wearing gray and black washed overalls and short black hair carefully untied the data cable, and then took off the old virtual game helmet on his head.

Looking at the cheap virtual helmet in his hand that had been retrieved from the second-hand market and had long been withdrawn, Zhou Xian couldn't help but sigh again and again.

Just now, he used this worn-out old-fashioned virtual helmet to take that group of players on hidden missions and get an achievement that permanently increases attributes.

However, this old-fashioned helmet is too bad. Although it is a game-specific type, it starts to overload significantly when the brain wave rate reaches 4%.

"Fortunately, this broken helmet has a relatively accurate time for each overload." Zhou Xian stretched his waist and stood up with a muttering to himself: "There are only about thirty HP left every time, which is too dangerous." It's a pity that a good all-rounder can't afford ......"

It's the early summer of 2033, and all humans on Earth will be implanted with neurochips in their bodies to get information through ubiquitous wireless networks.

If it is a simple network, only simple peripherals, such as an all-in-one computer like a headset, can be used for Internet operation.

In the case of large-scale applications such as virtual world games, terminal devices such as helmets may be used.

Of course, the all-round helmet is the most advanced network terminal equipment on the market. Once connected to a neural chip on a human body, it can be used for almost any work or entertainment application.

There is no doubt that the more versatile the helmet, the more expensive it is.

As an orphan whose parents have both died, and who relies on welfare and in-game bonuses to pay for tuition and various living expenses, he can't afford to have a cheapest all-round helmet.

Replaced a simple Internet terminal directly connected to the neural chip, Zhou Xian's eyes had a faint fluorescence surging, and then the scene of the dormitory in front of him changed, appearing in a dark and chaotic space with no distinction between up and down, left and right.

This is the activation of the neural chip, which directly acts on the retina and cranial nerves, allowing people to enter the virtual image space of the Internet.

The Internet space in 2033 has been completely visualized, and it is a nihilistic world with only heaven and earth, no left and right.

Standing alone, people will feel that they are the only life in this world.

After making a few gestures with both hands, a black gate floating in the void suddenly appeared in front of Zhou Xian. His figure in this space also turned into a hazy humanoid form composed of many simple pixels.

The frames on both sides of the gate seem to be made of stone, and are carved with black reliefs such as fallen angels and entwined poisonous snakes.

Zhou Xian took a step forward, and layers of flowing halos immediately appeared in the closed door, and then a voice appeared:

[This space is only open to limited status people, please show your identification.] 】

Obviously, Zhou Xian was already familiar with this, and he used gestures to control the system, and quickly formed a glowing badge on his hand.

A statue of a fallen angel by the gate, its black wings lightly opened, and then the red light from its eyes swept over the badge, and the voice sounded again:

[For the confirmation of the first class of customers, please enter the first class reception room, where the host is waiting. 】

The black door opened silently, and Zhou Xian stepped in, standing in a strange and distorted space, surrounded by stairs that were constantly connected and piled up, and at the end of each staircase there was a relatively small black stone door.

"Building such a personal space is just to find something unpleasant......

Although the road was very tortuous, Zhou Xian chose one of the ladders with ease and kept moving upward.

After many turns, Zhou Xian pushed open the stone gate at the end of the road and stood in a very luxurious Western-style tea room.

Huge floor-to-ceiling windows offer a view of the city at sunset.

In such a quiet environment, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window was a slender figure covered in black armor with a pair of black steel wings behind him.

The long black hair, like a waterfall, fell from the back of the armor, blocking most of the rose patterns on the armor.

[[[CP|W:663|H:398|A:L|U:http://file1.qidian.com/chapters/20128/10/2374321634802142990114658650990.jpg]]] Although he knew that it was an avatar of the online world, Zhou Xian still sighed for the texture of the black armor - this kind of avatar is extremely labor-intensive to build.

Zhou Xian is too lazy to use one of the current default images, because the pixel is very low, only the shape of the human body and the image of the male can be distinguished, so this kind of online avatar is affectionately called "Mr. Mosaic".

The figure, dressed as a fallen angel in Western mythology, turned to be a young woman, her entire face obscured by pitch-black visor, visible only to a pair of soft eyes.

The close-fitting armor was fiercely bundled at the waist, and it expanded again at the position of the chest, which made people look bloody.

A pleasant female voice came from behind the helmet: "Mr. Mosaic, you have completed this hidden mission again, and the money has been transferred to your confidential account just now." In addition, there are so many gamers who need to complete this hidden mission, you really don't think about increasing the number of times you take on the mission and making more money? ”

Zhou Xian waved his hand happily, and then said, "No, no, the money this time is enough for a while." As long as I'm not hungry and have nothing to eat, I'm too lazy to do such a thing. Sister Dark Angel, thank you for your continued care, I will come back next time I need it. ”

The dark angel's gaze was firmly fixed on Zhou Xian: "Your position operation skills in the game are really rare and good. If you're willing to join our guild, we'll help you with gear and level, and even joining a professional esports team isn't a big problem. The club behind our Black Death Angels Guild must also be known for its size and fame. ”

Zhou Xian's avatar writhed embarrassedly: "Sister Dark Angel has won the prize, I just practiced my escape skills in order not to fight in the game, and it is really not on the table." This kind of thing as a professional gamer is too troublesome, and I don't think much about it. ”

The Dark Angel shook his head: "It's a pity, the one who can achieve that kind of movement operation skill definitely has the potential of a professional player." Well, your character of not coming to me to pick up work and make money if you are so unhappy that you starve to death is really helpless. I hope that the next time you come, you will change your mind, and the doors of our Black Dead Angel Guild will always be open for you. ”

"Eun!" Zhou Xian quickly agreed, and then quietly glanced at his anonymous confidential electronic account, and quickly said goodbye.

When Zhou Xian was about to walk out of that gate, the voice of the dark angel came from behind: "By the way, Mr. Mosaic......"

"What's wrong?"

"Next time, don't ask customers for tips or rewards such as game currency in the game, they will pay in full when they place an order with me."

“…… Got it. ”

Zhou Xianfei also slipped away.

######

Taking off the simple Internet device and letting out a long sigh, Zhou Xian opened the window.

On the seventh floor of the dormitory apartment, the view of the old campus is visible from the auto-dimming glass.

Many banyan trees, which are more than half a century old, cast many mottled shadows in the sun. Many old-fashioned brick and timber dormitories have vine-clad facades.

Students in twos and threes are walking under the shade of the trees, a leisurely scene.

This is Zhongzhou School Park in Zhongzhou City, the oldest campus in the country's largest private school park - District D.

Zhongzhou School Park used to have only one campus, Area D, and it used to be lively and prosperous. It's just that decades have passed, the campus has gradually expanded, and the facilities here have not been updated in time, and it has become the cheapest student dormitory area.

Lacking a variety of state-of-the-art AI services, students living in other brand-new residence halls can't help but frown at the mention of Zone D.

But in the eyes of poor students like Zhou Xian, this place is as beautiful as heaven.

"Zhou Xian from 702, Building 1, Area D, please come to the dormitory management room on the first floor, there is your package."

Zhou Xian's distraction was interrupted by the sudden sound of communication in the room, and after being stunned for a moment, he pulled his legs and walked down.

While walking, he wondered that his father died two years ago, and his mother died in an accident when he gave birth to him, who would mail him a package?

Go down the stairs with a bang.,Zhou Xian has to complain about the death of the school park that even charges for the elevator while walking.。 In order to save money, although there are luxuries such as elevators in the teaching buildings in Area D, at least half of the students choose to walk.

The dormitory on the first floor is a large room, which used to contain a lot of equipment and spare parts needed to maintain the dormitory, but later these things were discontinued one after another, and gradually became empty.

As soon as Zhou Xian pushed open the door of the dormitory room, he heard a loud "bang", and all eyes were suddenly occupied by flying bits and pieces!
