"Failed again."

He Xiaoming looked at the jade in front of him depressedly, the jade had been broken and almost powdered, his expression was a little sad, and he muttered to himself, "I haven't succeeded a few times this year." ”

He grew up in an orphanage, but it was not comfortable to stay in the orphanage, and the fat director often withheld some of his daily necessities and took them back for his own use.

At that time, he was angry, and secretly took out the jade that the dean regarded as a treasure, and played with it in his hand, and suddenly had an urge to strengthen it, and he subconsciously chose to strengthen it, but the jade slammed into powder, and he was dumbfounded at that time, and he was ready to put this jade back.

Later, the dean found that the jade was missing, and he reported to the police, but he did not leave evidence at that time, and there was no monitoring in the orphanage, and finally the police officer came several times, but did not find any evidence, so he had to do nothing, but he was also scared enough, and he was afraid all day, he did not dare to say anything, he was only ten years old that year.

Since discovering this special ability, after several years of successive experiments, he has slowly mastered this enhancement ability, which can strengthen objects, but every time he strengthens it, his spirit will languish for a while, from the first time it lasted for half a year, to now more than a month, only after this time, he can use the enhancement ability again.

Using this ability, he became an antique dealer, specializing in finding jade to strengthen, and then sold it, and in the past two years, he made a lot of money, and bought a house and a car in Yangcheng, a place where every inch of land is valuable.

And just last year, he strengthened a jadeite that was not shot, strengthened it again, and the quality improved a lot, and the profit increased nearly twice after changing hands.

"Suzu.. Bell .."

Hearing the phone ringing, He Xiaoming put away his somewhat depressed thoughts and turned around and walked towards the house.

The room is about 100 square meters, three bedrooms and one living room, there is not much furniture, there is a sofa in the center of the hall, there is a coffee table in front, and there is a TV on the TV cabinet not far away.

When he came to the hall, He Xiaoming took out the ringing mobile phone from the gap in the sofa, looked at the phone, a smile appeared on his face, and he slid it open and picked it up.

"Fatty, it's so late, why don't you sleep yet, you won't be woken up hungry again." He Xiaoming smiled and teased the person on the other end of the phone, leaned back, found a comfortable position in the sofa, and sat relaxed.

The fat man is Zhang Yi, He Xiaoming's best friend, who grew up in an orphanage, and later came out of the society to break through together, but in the past two years, they have their own careers and live separately at both ends of Yangcheng.

"Brother Ming, something is wrong, you are about to watch the news, there is a virtual game, and the online forums have all exploded." On the other end of the phone, as if he didn't hear his ridicule, he spoke like a cannon, and said without kicking.

"Slow down, there's a VR game that makes you so excited." The speed of speech was too fast, He Xiaoming, he didn't hear it too clearly, thinking that what the virtual was talking about was a VR game.

"Brother Ming, you go online to watch the news, it's not a VR game, it's a virtual game launched by governments around the world."

"Virtual games? Or is it launched by the state together? He Xiaoming heard it clearly this time, and was shocked, "Wait a minute, I'll take a look at the news." ”

He Xiaoming returned to the room neatly, sat directly in front of the computer that was on, and looked at the comments of netizens everywhere.

"The government... This rhythm, I serve. ”

"Aliens attacking Earth? Technology is being updated so fast? ”

I opened a portal and was filled with news about new virtual games, so I found one to read.

In August 2018, China united with 157 countries around the world, such as Mei, the Soviet Union, Europe, and other countries, jointly launched a new virtual game "World", which will be officially opened in seven days, when everyone enters a large region, the server will enable a new artificial intelligence host, the center of the earth, the host is set up in the southeast island, due to the five major powers to provide armed protection, countries send commissioners to jointly supervise, game specific information, please pay attention to the "World" area.

He Xiaoming, after reading the news, his expression was a little sluggish, and he couldn't understand why countries were doing this.

In today's society, VR has just begun to become popular, and it directly enters the virtual game controlled by the senses, no matter how he thinks, he feels unreliable, but countries will not launch this game at the same time for no reason.

"Famous brother, famous brother... Still not there? Zhang Yi's voice came from the phone.

Let He Xiaoming come back from the shock and say into the phone, "I'm here." ”

"Brother Ming, will you play then?" Zhang Yi asked.

"I guess I'll play, you." He Xiaoming is also a game lover, and he usually plays games, such an epoch-making virtual game, it's a pity not to go in and take a look.

"I'm definitely going to go in, if I don't go in, isn't "The World" the number one handsome guy in the fat world missing?" Zhang Yi was proud on the phone and paused, "Brother Ming, tomorrow is the release of game equipment, this game is very popular, there are only 10 million game equipment in the country, it must be in short supply, I will come to you now, let's go to the sales point to line up together." ”

"Okay, then you hurry up, I'll go to the official website of "World" to take a look." He Xiaoming listened to Zhang Yi coming over, and he didn't say much, and was ready to carefully open the official website of "World" to browse.

"Okay, come right here."

He Xiaoming listened to the beeping voice on the phone, and smiled helplessly, this dead party spirit is still like this.

Put the phone on the computer desk, open the official website of "World", browse the homepage, the promotional video of "World", the blood of the warrior, the ruthlessness of the swordsman, the wisdom of the mage, and the evil of the warlock, are vividly displayed, so that He Xiaoming is enthusiastic and can't wait to enter the "World" experience.

The professions of "World" are not complicated, they are all some of the more common game professions in online games before, a total of eight professions, physics and spells, warriors, swordsmen, thieves, archers in the physics department, mages, warlocks, summoners, and priests in the spell department.

"It's pretty easy to do." He Xiaoming smiled lightly, looked at the career introduction, and only introduced the characteristics of the profession in a few strokes, and nothing else.

"It's gone? It's that simple? ”

For other content, players are requested to experience the game by themselves.

He Xiaofan seemed to have a black line on his head, and shook his head, this is too pitiful, isn't it just a job introduction? There are no maps or missions in it.

When I opened the game forum of "World", I found that there were already many comments in it.

"In other words, this game is too irresponsible, there is only one introduction to the profession, and just one sentence, and the other introductions are nothing."

"The arrogance of virtual games, the most shocking game trailer in history, and the simplest game introduction in history."

"The end of game companies, most game business owners, have applied for bankruptcy."

"Yiwang announced that it will close its online game business."

Looking at the news in the "World" forum, there are links to various front-page headlines, all of which are about the impact on the game industry, some game companies have gone bankrupt, and some have transformed, which can't help but make He Xiaoming speechless.

"Isn't it, Teng Qi set up a game division and recruited people to play "World"?"

At this time, Teng Qi chat tool suddenly popped up a window in the lower right corner, and clicked on it, Teng Qi Group was ready to set up a world game division and operate the specific things inside.

There are many comments from netizens below,

"It is said that there are already a lot of professional esports players."

"It has been confirmed that many professional masters in League of Legends are already preparing for World"

"Several large online game guilds have gathered nearly 500,000 people and are ready to enter the World together."
