Five days later.

The Magic City Happy Orchid Cinema ushered in the premiere of the movie version of the Infinity Tower.

Even though it was nearly early in the morning, the streets of the magic capital were still bustling with traffic, and the neon lights of the buildings hit the sky, dyeing the night sky golden yellow.

In front of the cinema is a food street, where vendors shout for food from trolleys, grilled sausages, and fried oysters....... the smell of which spreads through the air and attracts crowds, including a mother and daughter. The little girl cried and shouted that she wanted to eat chicken fillet, but her mother didn't think it was clean, so she only bought her a bag of small steamed buns.

The cinema was crowded with people, and people were crazy to queue up at the front desk. Not only is the promotion of the movie version of the Infinity Tower really full of gimmicks, but also the rewards given by Base Technology in order to boost the box office: the top ten audiences in each theater who enter the ticket check can get 400 skill points in the Infinity Tower in the open beta five days later.

Others are in a hurry, but Wu Hao is not in a hurry. He wears a black sweatshirt and holds three movie tickets in his hands. The hood blocks his eyes, and except for the Asian face, everything else is exactly like the hacker protagonist in Watch Dogs.

He's waiting for someone.

Rarely, he didn't laugh. I looked through the bustling crowd of people in the movie theater, but my eyes didn't move. It's like I'm looking for something, and it's like I'm just in a daze.

"Sorry! I'm late! ”

In the distance, a girl came running. Hot pants with orange padded jacket, the body is very small, like a swallow. The dull hair on the top of the head is swaying at a constant speed, which is particularly cute.

Wu Hao's face was back smiling.

"You're here?"

"I didn't come, it was my hologram."

"The skin of this hologram is so tender, let me touch ......"

The girl slapped Wu Hao's claws, and asked with some surprise: "I take the subway, you ride a bicycle, and the road is still farther than mine." Why are you faster than me? ”

"No way," Wu Hao said in a proud tone, "Who told me to teleport?" ”

"I'll punch you, and you can teleport?"

"Don't!"

Wu Hao wanted to dissuade him, but it was too late. The girl's straight fist hit Wu Hao's abdomen hard, causing him to bend down.

This sissy!

He raised his head, looked at the girl looking down at her, and asked, "Why are you dressed so strangely today, hot pants and a padded jacket or something?" ”

"My mom still wants me to wear autumn pants, it's only November!" The girl complained, "If I hadn't run fast, I would have been wrapped in a snowman by her!" ”

The two lined up to enter the venue, and the ticket inspector looked at Wu Hao and the others with some surprise, and then looked at the three tickets in their hands, and asked with some doubts: "Sir, ...... you?"

"Aren't you happy to help you pull the box office?" The girl glared at him, "I bought a ticket for my pet!" ”

As she spoke, she pulled open her backpack and pulled out the keychain, which contained a white rabbit doll.

"Yes, of course." The ticket inspector wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Please come in." ”

Two people find a place to sit down, one sits on one side, and the middle seat is empty, reserved for the third person who doesn't exist.

The movie begins.

Xiao Ming is an explorer who is determined to avenge his father's murder. He apprenticed to learn the arts, wandered bumpy, and broke into the Infinity Tower. After countless years and countless enemies, he saw that it was his father who stood at the top of the tower.

It's a very vulgar story routine, but the sound effects and CG scenes are great, as a promotional video for the Infinity Tower, Base Technology has put a lot of effort into it.

At the end of the movie, Wu Hao yawned, but saw the girl who was in an empty seat away from him, still staring blankly at the screen, tears flowing from her eyes.

Wu Hao was silent, he knew why the girl was crying.

At that time, the Infinity Tower was not an Infinity Tower, but a 2D flat game called Infinity Tower and Warriors. Wu Hao, Qiu Yue, Yang Ji, three elementary school students, playing this game is almost addictive.

They didn't have a guild, but they became the strongest trio in the game.

A warrior, a shooter, a priest. In the wheat fields of the western wilderness, in the frozen soil of the dark canyons, in the glaciers of the parks at the end of the century, in the clouds of Castlevania, on the summit of the sacred mountain of Jerusalem that is impossible to climb, under the stars of the Infinity Tower, they drank and fought freely.

Until one of them leaves.

"Do you remember that time?" Qiu Yue's voice was very small, "At that time, playing games in an Internet café, Yang Ji always liked to sit in the middle and command the battle, taking the two of us with him, invincible. ”

"We've all been transferred, you've been a battle mage, I've been a gunsmith. Only Yang Ji still maintained his original profession. ”

"Do you remember that time in a player battle, when the three of us faced 100 players, and your blood gauge and I were empty, and he kept giving us ...... health?"

Wu Hao was silent, he remembered the past, and thought of his sister. Across the seats, he took the girl's hand and held it tightly.

After the cast and crew were scrolled, there was an easter egg, and I saw that the huge screen went black all of a sudden, and a line of words appeared on it:

It's your battle.

—————————————— dividing line——————————————————————

Wu Hao rode his bicycle back to the community, and the express sent by Base Technology had been placed in the security booth for a long time. He took it home and opened it, and the two futuristic helmets lay quietly in the box, extremely handsome.

"The female secretary is also on the way." Wu Hao smiled with satisfaction.

Those two helmets, the Soul Diving Device, were also one of the rewards given to him by the base. And it is the only two limited editions in the world, and it can be regarded as a commemoration of Wu Hao's participation in the Infinite Tower closed beta.

He couldn't wait to get into bed, put on his helmet, plug it in, and close his eyes.

[You are welcome to use Base Tec products, scanning, please wait.] ]

A gentle female voice rang in his ears, and he felt his posture change, from sleeping to standing.

[Scan completed, please confirm your identity.] Citizen ID: 4409*****05, Name: Wu Hao, IP address 117.555.**.43]

"Confirm."

[Identity confirmed, entering the spirit dive]

Wu Hao felt that the support surface he was standing on disappeared suddenly. His body fell straight down, like the heroine of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, into a bottomless tree hole.

Huh, hey?

After shaking it, Wu Hao realized that although the system was set up a little abruptly, it was a thrilling journey.

His body didn't lose his balance, and he didn't fall as fast as it seemed. After getting used to it, this feeling is actually quite ...... Cool.

Looks like I've had a similar experience before?

Wu Hao looked around, there seemed to be an unknown object glowing green flying around, he blinked, and it seemed like nothing.

I don't know how long it took, maybe a few seconds, or maybe a few minutes, Wu Hao's body returned to the earth, and at the same time, the female voice of the system sounded in his ears.

[Welcome to the bottom floor of the Infinity Tower, please select the project you want to execute]

Wu Hao looked around, and in his four directions, east, south, west, north, and southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest, there was a triangular cursor.

Of the eight cursors, the remaining seven are gray. Only Wu Hao's cursor to the east glows blue.

It will only be available after the open test...... What do you mean?

Wu Hao touched his cheeks and thought, and walked straight into the cursor to his east.

[Welcome to the Infinity Games Forum, please set up your community avatar]

The female voice of the system sounded in Wu Hao's ears, and at the same time, there was also a pinching platform that is common in regular games.

Wu Hao quickly completed the character setting, and now he is a three-headed skeleton. Wearing a blue military uniform and a blue military cap, the black skull eyes look like pandas.

The Infinity Tower's game forum is a boxy rectangular plaza with colorful neon lights swaying to every corner of the square, like a bar or KTV.

There is no other way to the square, but it is surprisingly large. There is a silver screen in all four directions overhead, which is used to show the wonderful performance of Infinity Tower players in the game.

There are many virtual characters crammed into it, and there are all kinds of strange creatures, which is simply an animal farm.

Wu Hao was not interested in them, he wanted to ask customer service if depressed patients could play Infinity Tower. As soon as he took a step, he heard someone call out to him, calling him for his title in the Infinity Tower and Warrior game.

"[One-man legion], I said [one-man legion]!"

Wu Hao stopped, his gaze in the direction of the sound.

The avatar of the person who shouted him is still human. Messy black hair, a voluminous robe, and a crisp white cape. But even more conspicuous were the black-rimmed glasses he wore on the bridge of his nose.

"It's you! Belly black glasses! ”
