The next day, starting at half past eight, they waited in line for two hours before it was finally Ning Yi and Su Qi's turn.

Because the helmets are all one style, one model, but there is no need to choose hard, Ning Yi picked a box and went to the checkout.

As a result, after paying the money, before the thing was hot, it was snatched by Su Qi, and she was smiling like a flower, and said coquettishly: "Give me what you have in your hand, and give it to you in my hand." ”

Ning Yi carried the packaging box that still had the girl's body temperature, looked at the exact same style and packaging, and rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Is there a difference?" ”

Su Qi raised her little brain, arrogantly ignored him, turned her head and left: "Hmph, I want you to take care of it!" ”

At eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Ning Yi returned home with a pair of panda eyes, still carrying a square packaging box in his hand.

It just so happened that Ning's father was also at home on this day, and at this time, he was reading the newspaper in the hall on the first floor with Erlang's legs crossed, and saw Ning Yi's tired face, and smiled meaningfully: "Son, you are still young, and you must control this kind of thing in the future." ”

With such an old and indecent father, Ning Yi was speechless, but he didn't bother to explain.

"Hey, you bought something and came back?"

Ning Yi directly unpacked the package in front of Ning's father: "Phantom World Helmet 1.0, 12,000 credits." ”

"Hey, it's so expensive!"

After hearing this, Ning's father had a toothache, which was equivalent to a month's salary.

Ning Yi took out a metal helmet with exquisite workmanship comparable to a work of art from the box, with complex patterns, with an obvious classical style, with the background of the game in the fantasy world, it looks quite stylish.

After buying a game helmet, Ning Yi's pocket money accumulated can be regarded as bottoming out.

Dad Ning also seemed to be interested, snatched the helmet and put it in his hand, and looked at it here, his eyes lit up.

"Son, you're only in your first year of high school, and Dad wants you to focus on your studies."

"Dad, don't talk serious nonsense in front of your son, okay, I'll learn badly. From childhood to adulthood, our teachers have always taught us that the most important thing in life is to be self-reliant. ”

Ning Yi squinted and despised his father, who was not serious, and snatched the game helmet back.

Before going upstairs, he deliberately turned around and reminded: "I heard that Phantom World is a fully immersive game, simply put, the principle is to use specific radio signals to stimulate the brain, so that human beings can still maintain the active state of the brain in a state of deep sleep." ”

"So, this game is actually an artificial dream that I can play while sleeping."

After his son said this, even Ning's father was a little moved.

After all, he also came from a bear child who loves to play games, but now that he is old and has to support his family, he doesn't have much time to play games, so he has to give up.

"Well, I'll also secretly go buy a Phantom World helmet in the afternoon, by the way, I have to hide it from Lan Xiang."

12,000 credits, if such a high consumption is known by the nagging wife, you may have to kneel on the washboard for a long time!

At half past ten o'clock in the evening, there is still half an hour left, and the cross-era fully immersive virtual online game Phantom World will be officially launched, and players can now enter the game interface to apply for a personal account and create their own virtual space.

Ning Yi pressed the switch according to the instructions, connected the helmet to the wireless network at home, and then lay on the bed and waited quietly.

"System connection begins, please get ready."

A low prompt sounded, and after Ning Yi confirmed, the signal light of the helmet began to flicker non-stop, and electromagnetic waves of a specific frequency began to hypnotize Ning Yi, making him quickly enter deep sleep mode.

"Welcome to Phantom World 1.0, dreams are with you and me."

Ning Yi was in a virtual space, and suddenly opened his eyes: "This is the virtual space?" ”

Unlike the 4D games he'd tried before, the old-gen games that only affected the sights and sounds were nothing compared to the 5D games that gave people a completely realistic feel in front of them.

The most important thing is that the player doesn't need to buy a lot of auxiliary equipment, just a helmet, just like a dream.

No, to be precise, now Ning Yi is dreaming.

"The iris focus is complete, the identity authentication is completed, the database is established, and the player is asked to enter the name of the game."

Ning Yi thought about it, but decided to use the name of the previous life, Peerless Sword Cangchen.

This can also be regarded as a commemoration of his past self, although Ning Yi has long been accustomed to the new life now.

Since he is only a beginner player, Ning Yi has very few computing resources allocated, and the virtual space is only 100 square meters in size and 5 meters high, which is basically a private small room that can be freely arranged.

Ning Yi pulled up the prop inventory and took out some of the seats and benches that were sent for free and placed them, finally looking a little at home.

"Huh?"

After being free, Ning Yi felt strange to each other: "Why is my mind much clearer than usual?" ”

The brain is very powerful, but it is often unable to fully exert itself due to the body's energy supply. It's like a supercomputer, if you only distribute power to it according to the household electricity standard, it will definitely not run well, and it will barely be able to turn on.

But in the virtual space, this energy supply restriction has been relaxed.

In fact, it is also very simple, the power source that AC can provide is certainly much more abundant than the heat generated by food after it is broken down in the body.

Ning Yi found that his brain function was about twelve times stronger than usual, although it was still far from being comparable to his peak state in the previous life, but looking at the present, this was enough to make him happy.

You must know that because of the difference in the laws of heaven and earth, the cultivation exercises of the previous life cannot be used on the earth at all.

And in order to deduce the cultivation method that is suitable for this heaven and earth, in the past sixteen years, Ning Yi can be said to have broken his head. Now that his brain function has been greatly improved, the process of cracking the laws of heaven and earth on the earth will inevitably be greatly accelerated.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the system sent a prompt: "Player Su Xiu Luo Qi requests to add you as a friend." ”

A dialog box appeared in front of Ning Yi, and he guessed that it was Su Qi as soon as he saw the name, so he clicked to confirm.

After that, the system prompted: "Player Su Xiu Luo Qi requests to enter your personal space." ”

Ning Yi clicked to confirm again, and then a vortex space-time door opened, and Su Qi, who was wearing ancient costumes and Hanfu, made a gorgeous appearance.

"How's it going, isn't it pretty?"

Su Qi nodded and spun around, smiling very happily.

The long hair is pulled up, the green silk is like a cloud, and the towering bun is filled with a golden hosta hairpin, a rhino horn comb fence, and a loose long-sleeved shirt, so that the girl's already beautiful face is even more graceful under the dress.

Obviously, such a classical style dress is very in line with the aesthetic of tranquility.

I saw that his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he praised: "It's beautiful." ”

"Hee-hee."

The woman is the one who pleases herself, but Su Qi is not ashamed, and happily accepts Ning Yi's praise.

But then Su Qi pouted, wrapped green silk around her ears between her fingers, and said in a rather regretful tone: "It's a pity that I can only wear it like this in the virtual world, it's too troublesome to have long hair." ”

Sure enough, Su Qi in front of her was still the big-hearted, lazy cat-like girl that Ning Yi knew.

The two chatted for a while, and the system sent a prompt: "Please prepare players, there are still 30 seconds left, and the phantom world is about to be launched." ”

Thirty seconds passed in a blink of an eye, and a dazzling white light suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, and when the light dissipated, what appeared in front of them was a small village like a peach paradise.

This is the login screen, and then there are three different boxes in front of them - Terran, Demon, and Demon.

Su Qi originally wanted to be a beautiful and cute little fox demon, but seeing that Ning Yi didn't want to choose the Terran, she had no choice but to choose the Terran.

It's just that why does it look like it's gritting its teeth on its face?

After the selection is completed, the player can pinch the person in the system, and the character shape will automatically generate the player's appearance in reality.

After that, it's time to land on the game map, and the player enters the game in a different place of birth.

The novice village where Ning Yi is located happens to be located in the middle of the mountain forest, surrounded by mountains, green water, unknown flowers and plants growing in the wilderness, and young animals playing in the middle.

"Ah, why can't you choose your place of birth!"

In the communication channel, Su Qi's complaint sounded: "It's so hateful, I want to complain!" ”

Ning Yi listened, but he could only laugh and be silent, and the birthplace of the illusory world was set immediately, which really hurt a lot of people. Especially those professional gamers who have prepared early in advance and intend to enter the Phantom World in droves, intending to dominate the virtual game world.

"Ning Yi, where are you?"

Su Qi was still sulking about this, and asked angrily.

Ning Yi clicked on the map interface, glanced at the system prompt, and said, "I'm in Songzhu Village." ”

After hearing this, Su Qi was secretly annoyed and said hatefully: "Ah! So irritable! I'm in Yusha Village, and there are no directions on the map, Ning Yi, what should I do? ”

In the end, Su Qi was about to cry angrily.

Ning Yi had no choice but to comfort her and said, "Okay, okay, if you come, you will be safe, or you can level up first." As long as the level goes up, we can explore outward, and we will always meet. ”

"Okay."

Su Qi reluctantly responded.

She was in a hurry, and she didn't want to think about how a game company could deliberately set up a map that deliberately didn't allow players to meet.

In fact, the designer's intention Ning Yi also guessed a few points, which is nothing more than to ensure the early development of the majority of casual players as much as possible, and avoid being overwhelmed by various gangs and guilds prematurely like some domestic online games, so that the game experience of casual players is very poor.

After entering the game, Ning Yi was not in a hurry to go out of the village to cut monsters, but first checked his character panel.

Physique 5

The four attributes of muscles and bones, body style, inner element and physique are randomly generated, and the total value is up to 32, if you are not satisfied, players can spend 300 credits to refresh in the game interface.

The total attribute is 24 points, the proportion of seventy-five percent, and the muscles and bones and body skills are almost full value, this result is acceptable, and Ning Yi is too lazy to waste that money.

After that, Ning Yi checked his backpack again, and three of the eighteen spaces had already been filled. It seems that as a pink novice, he found that he only had three pitiful outfits for going out.

Rolling pin (rough quality)
