So many people,

Su Yun looked at the dark crowd in front of him and couldn't help yawning, he had been queuing here for more than four hours, it wasn't that he wanted to suffer here, it was mainly his college classmate Jiang Fei, who was standing not far from him, who had forcibly pulled him here four hours ago,

Everyone in line here is here for one thing.

Led by the government, it has gathered more than 200 countries and regions around the world to develop a holographic mental projection game with the sea of stars as the background for five years, and will officially release the beta test qualification in an hour.

In the entire Greater China region, only 100,000 accounts were issued, and Su Yun's capital only had a total of 9,000, and they were evenly distributed to more than 100 sales venues.

In other words, at the moment, these black and oppressive crowds are all here to compete for the less than ninety beta qualifications.

With the progress of science and technology, people have already bid farewell to the traditional keyboard and mouse operation game mode, about 80 years ago, VR technology officially emerged, although it was only a flash in the pan, but it made people see the possibility of another way of playing, 45 years ago, Chinese scientists took the lead in creating a bioelectronic control system prototype codenamed "Nuwa" through bioelectronic engineering technology, and the following year launched the biological brain wave mass spectrometry projector, realizing the technological leap of projecting a simple picture directly into the human brain.

This technology was originally designed to treat brain and psychological diseases, but it caused an uproar in the gaming world like dropping an atomic bomb, and it was not until then that humans realized that the dream game was not far away.

"I wanted to change something, but I never wanted to change so much" This is the most common sentence said by the person in charge of the creation and design system when interviewed by reporters.

Only three years later, the first holographic projection game "Zhu Century" was born, instantly swept the game world, and it took only one month to break the sum of all the achievements obtained after the advent of video games, and the global synchronous online rate was as high as 10% at its peak, on average, one out of every ten human beings was a player of Zhu Century, and at the same time entrenched at the top of the major lists for ten years, leaving a more or less impact on the global economy, science and technology, education, and even the population base, until the era of a hundred schools of thought came together, This game that witnessed history is officially over, but it also marks the beginning of a new era for mankind.

Since then, the game is no longer a game, but a complete second life,

Imagine that you can't decide where you come from, but you can choose the lifestyle you want, where you can be a hero, a ranger, you can be whoever you want to be, and it's absolutely true, and that's enough for humans to indulge in.

In the decade since, the entire gaming industry has made great progress, officially becoming an indispensable part of people, and more and more countries have begun to recognize the status of virtual reality as a special carrier in real life, and all of this happened before Su Yun was born.

Time flies, and today, virtual reality games are no longer a strange thing, but appear in all aspects of life like mobile phones, you may not notice it, but you can't live without it, because it has been really integrated into your life,

The so-called fans of the authorities, Su Yun did not catch up with the unprecedented grandeur of the release of "Zhu Century", and he was not a fanatical senior player, he had played a lot of this kind of virtual reality games before, but most of them were just experiencing life as a casual player, with neither ambition nor ideas, and he couldn't understand why these people in line were running here in the dark to suffer this crime, stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Fei, whose eyes were red, and asked,

"Hey, this thing will be in two days, why are you in such a hurry?"

Huaxia Kingdom will distribute the game to all citizens for free in two days, although I don't know what the purpose is, but this matter has been notified two months in advance, and only these players who experience the closed beta first need to spend money to buy game helmets,

But fortunately, this thing has been popularized to the point that a small workshop in the Yangtze River Delta can produce it, so the price is not expensive, the virtual helmet with 80% fidelity is less than 800%, the 90% is only 1,020%, and even the special version with 99% fidelity is in the early 2000s, so Su Yun can easily afford it as a college student, of course, there is also the ecological virtual warehouse with 100% virtuality that can be claimed to be able to be used for a month, and Su Yun has not studied how much that thing is worth. But it's certainly not cheap, right,

Su Yun has bought a lot of this kind of virtual helmet, because this thing is updated very quickly, so it will be replaced with a new one almost a year or so, in the context of this big era, almost every house has more or less a few virtual helmets, even if you don't play games, you usually go to the Internet to visit the virtual commercial street, and find some old men to play mahjong can also be used, so its realization is now that there are very few people in Huaxia who have no virtual helmets, two days later, in fact, the country only uses open server ports, and others can use their own devices to access the game, You don't have to go out of your way to hand out a helmet,

Su Yun and the others came to grab it, but it was just a special account bound to the helmet for internal testing.

"It took only six days for God to create this world, and two days is enough to change everything, this is the first opportunity, do you understand, I have a hunch, this game is estimated to be able to reproduce the glory of the century, the game led by the government is not the first, but it is the first time to see such a large-scale, and depending on the attitude of the government, this game is definitely not boring, at this time, you must seize the opportunity" Jiang Fei turned his head to look at Su Yun, he has severe hay fever, and going out in this season can take more risks than Su Yun, Even wearing a mask doesn't stop pollen from infestationing him,

"Okay, okay, what you said is reasonable" Su Yun saw that he took such a big risk and said so righteously, and he didn't argue with him anymore, anyway, he had been waiting here for so long, and he couldn't go back, he just complained just now, and then he was bored counting the second hand on his watch, calculating how much time was left,

Almost another hour passed, just when Su Yun was about to fall asleep when he looked at the watch hand, suddenly the crowd in front of him was crowded, and Su Yun's whole person came to his senses, and it was estimated that it was about to start.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the steel roller shutter door to be pulled up, and such a backward anti-theft technology was still used in this era, and the person in charge of this place should really reflect on it.

I saw a small man in a suit and leather shoes coming out of the gate, and he was also startled when he saw the team in front of him, but he quickly calmed down, said to the security guard in front of him, and was ready to let people in.

Suddenly, I don't know who shouted from behind,

"Let's go, everyone!"

The crowd suddenly burst out under the instigation, and the people behind desperately squeezed to the front, Su Yun realized that something was wrong and wanted to quit when it was too late, the whole person was caught by the people behind and couldn't move, like duckweed in the wind, he was squeezed into the sales point along the flow of people,

The security guard didn't know where he was squeezed for a long time, Jiang Fei didn't know where he went, Su Yun twisted his body desperately and turned his head but couldn't find his figure, he didn't know what to do for a while, and when he turned his head, he found that he was actually squeezed in front of the sales counter, thinking that he had suffered such a trip for such a thing, no matter what, he couldn't go home empty-handed,

I didn't know who was stepping on my feet, I pulled out my arm, squeezed out the many arms waving in mid-air, and pressed it on the palm print collector at one of the sales ports, this thing is connected to Su Yun's identification system, and at the same time connected to the bank and credit system, you can buy something by pressing it, even if the money is not enough, it will lend you a point for you to complete the purchase, and then remember to do it, it is very convenient, and the accuracy is extremely high, and you don't have to worry about being impersonated,

"Two premium helmets!" Su Yun yelled at the synthetic AI on the LCD screen at the point of sale,

"I'm sorry, sir, we here's a rule that each person can only buy one beta account with valid identity information" The synthetic AI girl in the screen showed a professional sweet smile,

Jiang Fei, Jiang Fei, it's really not that my brother doesn't help you, this is God's will, I can only wish you a good life, and I can get it myself,

"Then one!" Su Yun had to roar, if he spoke normally, according to the current scene, even AI estimates can't distinguish it,

"Okay, thank you for coming, I wish you a nice trip" is a professional smile again,

Three minutes later,

Su Yun finally escaped from the back door with the game helmet he had just bought, and there were a few lucky people who escaped with him, it was almost impossible to go back the same way in that scene just now, the shirt Su Yun was wearing had been torn into pieces and hung on his body, the gang just now was so crazy,

Just for this?

Su Yun looked at the exquisitely packaged box in his hand, where was the game helmet he had just snatched with his life, he didn't answer Jiang Fei's call, and he didn't know what to do now, Su Yun looked around the venue and didn't find him, so he had to take the game helmet and go back to the apartment of the two first,

This house is an apartment shared by Su Yun and Jiang Fei's two single dogs, in addition to sharing the living room, kitchen and bathroom, each person has a separate spacious and bright bedroom, the owner of this house is Jiang Fei's cousin, who immigrated to a foreign country before, so he rented the house to the two of them, and the rent is also very cheap with Jiang Fei's relationship, and Su Yun also borrowed a light.

It's half past eight o'clock, less than four hours before the official start of the service at noon, Su Yun got up too early, thought about it or decided to sleep and recuperate enough to play this game that makes everyone so crazy, so he found an alarm clock, adjusted the alarm clock to half past eleven, went to bed, found a more comfortable position, and fell asleep.
