Chapter 1: The Beginning of the Era

Back in the room, Qin Xiao's hand seemed to be so heavy that he couldn't lift it, he didn't feel this way just now, and his head was even a little dizzy. He picked up the gold memory in his hand and looked at it, as if it felt like it was hot.

"What's wrong with me...... Do you have a fever? ”

Qin Xiao walked to the bed, unplugged the original memory, replaced it with the second-generation multi-opener that his father had just given, and then shook his head and put it on.

Reach out and press the power ...... The blue signal light lit up, and Qin Xiao was still waiting for the game interface to appear, but suddenly a lightning bolt swept through his sight, and he seemed to be hit by a heavy punch from a professional boxer, and he immediately lost consciousness.

This is not accidental, at the same time, 120 million people who were online at the same time also lost consciousness like Qin Xiao.

In the darkness, Qin Xiao seemed to hear mechanical and cold language echoing in his mind.

"Program abnormality, self-starting repair ......"

"Data Hiding ...... Mimic intelligence start-up ......"

"Ding! The program has been fixed...... Welcome in: Troubled Times! ”

Suddenly, Qin Xiao heard a crisp bell, and he slowly opened his eyes. A breeze mixed with the fragrance of the earth blew on his face, and Qin Xiao's eyes were no longer the familiar city before, but a peaceful and quiet village.

"What's going on?"

Qin Xiao was a little flustered, he hurriedly read silently offline, could it be that the smart code of the multi-opener made him have a problem with his helmet, right?

"Ding! Unable to connect peripherals, please try again later. ”

"What's the situation!"

Qin Xiao was a little flustered, he hurriedly opened the national channel, only to see that the national frequency was also full of panic and doubt.

Zuo Zuole: "I'll take the test!" Why can't I go offline, what about my TM's city? How did you teleport me to the beach? ”

Male god Sanbai: "Can you still play happily, where is this Nima, why can't you go offline......"

FC Zhuge : "If this military division is good, we probably hit a ghost......

He wasn't the only one who had the problem, could it be that this code broke everyone's helmets? Qin Xiao didn't know that his guess had already come true.

What they didn't know was that two days had passed since they were unconscious, and the consciousness of more than 120 million people had been locked in the escalated chaos, and players could no longer control their bodies.

Xinghuo Technology announced within 24 hours of the incident that due to unknown reasons, the player's brainwave could not be cut off from the game normally, and the outside world could not reconnect with the central brain. The consciousness of all players is still in the game, and they dare not cut off the power supply to the intelligent brain, for fear that the player's consciousness will be damaged.

Due to the safety of hundreds of millions of players, the international security organization will not investigate Xinghuo Technology for the time being, and wait for the game problem to be resolved before entering the judicial process.

However, according to the news from within Spark Technology, the game's code seems to have been automatically modified, and the content of the game has changed dramatically, and the death in the game may cause a heavy blow to the player's consciousness......

Of course, these Qin Xiao and all the players will not know, they are now facing a game world that is both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Ding! World Announcement: Dear players, welcome to the new troubled times, due to the intelligence of the game, all player profiles are reset, only the nickname, gender, alliance and other attributes are retained, among which the upper limit of the number of alliances is canceled, and new members can be added unlimitedly. In addition, the game upgrade cancels the regional server setting, and the game environment is set to a thousand times the size of the original map, and players will compete in the same world. ”

As soon as this system announcement came out, the world channel and the national server channel directly became a mess, and all players were asking the same question, what is going on?

Qin Xiao was still thinking back to the picture of the multi-opener inserted into the helmet, that scene was so weird, as if it was a fixed number in the dark.

Qin Xiao was still stunned, and Bing Lin Xiaochu sent a voice: "Boss, what's the situation?" What about the city? Where did you go? And why can't you go offline...... Can you go offline or not? ”

Qin Xiao smiled bitterly, he couldn't answer any of these questions, looking at the world around him that was no different from reality, it was even more intimidating than the chaotic times under the original virtual reality technology. He couldn't see the button to switch between trumpets, not even the message channel, and only when he imagined it, it would appear in mid-air in a virtual and transparent way.

"I don't know the specific situation, let's take one step at a time......"

When I opened the map, the original map had disappeared, and what was displayed on it was a holographic three-dimensional map centered on itself within a radius of five kilometers, and I could no longer see the coordinates of the eight famous cities and the imperial city.

Qin Xiao opened the alliance channel again, and the ten trumpets were all there, all of them online.

"Everything has changed, and everything seems to have not changed, so what now?"

Qin Xiao looked around and walked towards the nearby village, which was located at the foot of the mountain and surrounded by woods. There are large tracts of farmland near the village, but it seems to have been abandoned for a long time.

Before entering the village, the world announcement sounded again.

"Ding! World Announcement: Gentlemen Yang Shao, a member of the Gentlemen's Alliance, killed the Yellow Turban Centurion and obtained the Li Zheng Seal, and the members of the Alliance can immediately go to the aid and jointly build the Li Zheng Mansion. ”

This announcement suddenly made all players suddenly realize that the city needs to be built by itself, not by one. The system retains the alliance precisely for the purpose of cooperative development with the alliance as a unit.

Since there is no way to go offline, Qin Xiao can only grope in the game first.

Inspired by the gentleman Yang Shao, another world announcement was refreshed after a while.

"Ding! Meng Meng Rabbit rescued the Yellow Turban Righteous Soldiers, and obtained the Tuntian Order, and the members of the alliance could immediately go to the aid and jointly build the Yellow Turban stronghold. ”

"Ding! Meng Meng Rabbit established the Heroes Alliance, and sincerely invited the heroes and heroes to join in and create the emperor in troubled times! ”

Tuntian Order? Qin Xiao frowned, it seems that there are really many ways to build a city...... He couldn't help but be a little nervous, he didn't know what was going on outside, maybe he would have more right to survive if he built the city earlier.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiao hurriedly walked into the village. However, it is a little strange to say that there are 100 houses in this village, but there is no one in sight, and there is a scene of decay and decay everywhere.

Qin Xiao casually walked into a courtyard, the garden was already overgrown with weeds, the clay jar in the corner of the wall was full of rainwater, and the moss clumps spread to the rammed floor. The mud-walled thatched house had long since collapsed, and there was a rusty hoe against the corner.

"It looks like it's an abandoned village......"

Thinking of the fact that there was something about the yellow turban in the system announcement, Qin Xiao probably understood. The Yellow Turbans of the Three Kingdoms happened to be in a period of frequent droughts and locust plagues, and the famine caused a large number of people to migrate long distances to survive, which was used by Zhang Jiao to launch the Yellow Turban Uprising.
