In 2199, in order to alleviate the increasingly serious population pressure of the major colonies, almost all the countries in the human federal government jointly developed an epoch-making virtual online game "Second Dream", using relatively mature artificial virtual technology to create a new world to alleviate various contradictions and pressures in reality.

Nowadays, the population of the earth circle alone has exceeded the 30 billion mark, and the total human population has even exceeded 100 billion, and the speed of developing new colonies cannot keep up with the growth rate of population.

The new term virtual online game has also officially entered people's daily life, and it is no longer a word that only exists in imagination.

Using nanotechnology to design electronic devices that link neurons in the human brain domain, so that people can play in virtual games as if they were in the real world, they have an immersive feeling, and then use this device to connect with the supercomputer mastermind galaxy covering the entire human domain network, so that all humans can play in a virtual online game.

"Want to meet the other half of another planet? Do you want to enjoy the beautiful scenery of another world? Want to try your hand at a blood-pumping fight? "The Second Dream" is the second dream world of mankind. As the final sentence of the expansion comes to an end, Rosho appears in a dilapidated inn.

There are heavy wooden tables and chairs, some of which are even bigger than Luo Xiu's, and the wooden tables and chairs and granite floors are full of traces left by various weapons, which makes people feel a sense of slaughter at a glance.

The light in the inn is relatively dim, probably because the windows here are relatively small, but compared to the windows, the door of the inn is unusually tall, more than five meters high, the width is enough for elephants to pass, and directly opposite the gate there is a bar, where a dwarf with a thick arm is Luo Xiu's thigh, and his hand is still wiping the wine utensils.

"Adventurers from afar, welcome to Tianya Hotel, don't you want a glass of dark beer to relieve your fatigue?" The dwarf put down the wine utensils in his hand and shouted to Luo Xiu, who was standing at the gate.

Luo Xiu was stunned, then raised his arm and clenched his fist, it felt like in reality, and then took a few steps forward to get used to it, and walked towards the bar where the dwarf uncle was, such an inn is fresh.

"Are you talking to me?" Luo Xiu looked at the dwarf who was about the same height as him standing on the stool in front of him and said, in addition to the thick limbs, the dwarf's beard that grew to the ground made him feel novel.

"Of course, adventurer, is there anyone else here besides you?" The bearded dwarf clapped his hands and said, "And the adventurer, what kind of eyes do you have, haven't you seen the great dwarf?" ”

"I'm sorry, this is the first time I've seen a dwarf, so please forgive me if there's anything wrong." Luo Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, the dwarf in front of him could hardly imagine that he was a virtual NPC, "Then the great Mr. Dwarf, can you bring me a dark beer?" ”

"For the sake of your being so polite, Brewer will forgive you." The dwarf Brewer cleared his voice and said, then jumped off the stool and poured a full glass of dark beer for Rosho.

Then the dwarf Brewer returned to his stool, picked up a wooden wine glass the size of his whole head, and said, "Terran adventurer, this cup is given to you by me, and if you want to drink it again, you will need two copper coins for a glass." After speaking, he continued to wipe the huge wine glass, and didn't care about Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu was not angry, he casually found a place to sit down, and checked the instructions that came with the game system, if it weren't for this exclamation mark that had always existed in the corner of his eyes, Luo Xiu would have thought that he had crossed over.

"Game background and novice teaching? The federal government is really thoughtful. Luo Xiu, who had roughly read the title, thought, and then began to study it carefully, and it has always been his habit to collect useful information for himself.

The game is generally set in an extremely distant era, the gods and demons have been fighting continuously, in order to defeat the demons, the gods have united with other mortal races, teaching them how to fight, how to destroy demons, but the demons have also carried out their own conspiracy, that is, to kill living beings and twist their souls, turning them into necrons who only know how to fight, and will not die without destroying their souls.

The battle was extremely fierce, the epic rise of countless heroes, and countless nameless people were buried deep in the battlefield, when the former comrades-in-arms became enemies, the appearance of the necromancers terrified all races, and the battle line retreated again and again, and the whole world was in danger, until the appearance of those death lords, those who had recovered their memories betrayed the demons and formed a new race of undead.

The ensuing battle lasted for hundreds of years, and finally the demon clan was driven back into the abyss, and the passage was also sealed by the gods, but after a long battle, the power of the gods was also greatly weakened, coupled with the huge energy required for the seal, and finally most of the gods fell into a deep sleep, and the era of mortals began.

"Ding! After reading the game's backstory, you will be rewarded with a little wisdom, which can be used in the official game. ”

After reading a large part of the background story, Luo Xiu exhaled a mouthful of turbidity, took a sip of dark beer, and suddenly a bitter taste spread in his mouth, Luo Xiu frowned, and then a sweet malt filled the taste buds, unconsciously making his brows stretch.

Luo Xiu raised the dark beer in his hand, surprised, he had drunk a lot of various alcohols in reality, but it was the first time he had tried such a unique taste of dark beer, and this feeling was much better than that of dark beer in reality.

"Big, this is really big, even if it's a military virtual simulation system, it is impossible to simulate this kind of taste, it seems that the federal government this time is not just trying to improve the population pressure." Luo Xiu had used virtual equipment to train the army, and knew the cost of the technology, and the cost of reaching this level was unimaginable.

Luo Xiu then thought about it and said: "Whatever, it's not me who spends money anyway, but it makes me want to play more, maybe this is the attention of the federal government." ”

"However, how do you get the copper coins that you want to drink again, you can't get them in the official game, right?" Looking at his empty backpack, Luo Xiu said bitterly, he didn't want to drink it in one go, he should taste it slowly and carefully.

"Ding! System Prompt: Credits can be exchanged for copper coins, but the copper coins exchanged for credits can only be used in the beta version of "Second Dream", please exchange them appropriately. ”

After listening to the system prompt, Luo Xiu opened the exchange interface, and the good guy actually needed one hundred credits to exchange for one copper coin, which means that a cup of lowest-level dark beer also needs two hundred credits, which is almost enough to catch up with the salary of ordinary white-collar workers for a day, which is not something that ordinary people can consume.

"One to 100, it's really the same as robbing, but the taste is really worth the price." Luo Xiu thought to himself, then walked up to the dwarf Brewer and clicked on the sales panel of the inn.

There were more than a dozen pages of various foods and drinks in it, and the prices ranged from one copper coin to one hundred gold coins, and Luo Xiu's heart was shocked when he saw it, this most expensive price was almost enough to catch up with the credit points of his high-risk mission.

"One million credits, really sold by the federal government, such a price is only enjoyed in the virtual world, and it is also consumed by those who take money not for the big consortium." Luo Xiu was surprised.

It seems that the federal government wants to make money from the big consortium, and the ingredients of some rare creatures in reality can also be sold at such a high price, but it was captured by the interstellar mercenaries desperately from extremely dangerous planets, and the commission alone is a lot of money, and the auction price of millions is also reasonable, but the taste of food in this virtual world is also so high, which makes Luo Xiu a little unhappy for the group of mercenaries who do this business.

Luo Xiu vaguely remembered that his first mission seemed to be to capture rare animals, and that time the mercenaries who formed a team together killed three people, and in the end, the 500,000 credits he got were not enough to buy the life of one of them.

"It looks like we're going to lose a lot of jobs in our industry." Luo Xiu showed a wry smile on his face, the impact of the second dream on reality is really great, even the profession of mercenary, which has nothing to do with ordinary people, has been affected, let alone those ordinary people.

Luo Xiu closed the sales panel of the inn, shook his head, even if he had a huge amount of money, he couldn't spend it indiscriminately, exchanged 10 copper coins casually, bought three glasses of dark beer and two roast wolf legs and returned to his seat just now, and then took a thick beginner's adventure guide from the system and watched it carefully.

The beginner's adventure guide is written on parchment, which looks very quaint, and it records in detail some basic settings about the game, how to use skills, how to open various interfaces, but about how to level up, how to take missions, there is no mention of it, and there is not even any mention of what races and classes are in the game, but it is written that everything is up to the player to explore independently.

"This is too bad, it is completely equivalent to not saying it." Luo Xiu touched his chin and said: "Fortunately, the adventure guide mentions that you can connect to the network outside the game in the game, and the official forum has a direct shortcut, so I still go and see what the forum says." ”

Luo Xiu immediately clicked on the fast channel, and a screen suddenly appeared in front of him, similar to a general three-dimensional display computer, you can zoom in and out according to your wishes, and lightly clicked on the official post on the top, and there was a red countdown in the most conspicuous place inside, which recorded 32 days, 20 hours, 7 minutes and 55 seconds, which is the time when the second dream was officially launched.

"Luckily, I have to rush back to Earth to find a house and buy a game pod to start my career as a professional gamer." Luo Xiu smiled and directly ordered a game cabin in the official, and when he found a house, he could install it directly at the door, saving the time of queuing up to buy a game helmet on the Internet.
