A ray of sunlight shining through the gap in the curtain warmly hit my face, waking me up from my sleep. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

I was so tired that I didn't even want to lift my eyelids, and in the haze I could even hear my own snoring.

It wasn't until the sun hit my eyelids, causing intense irritation to my eyeballs, that I had to roll over.

I looked up at my watch, and it was 10 minutes before 12 o'clock.

You have to check out before 12 o'clock, otherwise it will be counted as 2 days! The thought crossed my mind.

I immediately fell asleep, and quickly sat up and patted the woman next to me and urged, "Get up, there are still 10 minutes." ”

This is the girl I met at the bar last night, and I can't remember the name, age, or appearance.

"Oh, what if it runs out? Only 180 room charges. The woman said disdainfully, "You have to take a shower before you go downstairs, right?" ”

This woman is about 25 years old, and when I saw her without makeup up close, I felt a blockage in my chest, and I thought that I had accidentally arched a rotten cabbage again.

"180 isn't money? Isn't it good to have a meal? I said angrily, "Hurry up and get dressed." ”

"En, the Sichuan restaurant opposite is good, wait and eat there." The woman nodded, then lifted the quilt and grabbed the clothes scattered around the bed and began to put them on her body.

I didn't pick up the stubble, I just scrambled to get dressed.

"Handsome guy, leave a phone call." The woman smiled as she dressed, "I have time to keep in touch." ”

I replied vaguely, but didn't act on it.

"What's your name? I drank too much last night, and I don't remember it at all. The woman said, "My name is Xiaoyu." ”

"My name is Red Scarf." I replied earnestly.

Xiaoyu laughed wildly, and the bra that slipped off her body before she could fasten the buttons.

I stared intently at Xiaoyu's chest and swallowed heavily.

For this pair of meat balls, 180 is also worth it! I thought to myself.

"What are you looking at? Dislike. Xiao Yujiao said angrily.

Looking at the little jade pimple's big cake face showing a amorous posture, I had a mouthful of stomach acid gushing up to my throat, and I relied on my tenacious will to force it down.

I turned my head away and didn't dare to look at Xiaoyu again.

In the summer, there were not many clothes, so it took us 2 minutes to get dressed, and I took another 3 minutes to wash my face and comb my hair, and at the same time, Xiaoyu finished putting on her makeup at an astonishing rate.

1 minute before 12 o'clock we rushed to the front desk to check out and get our deposit back.

As soon as I stepped out of the hotel door, a wave of heat rushed towards me, and I suddenly felt a sticky feeling on my face.

"On this day...... It's really hot. I looked at the sun through my sunglasses and sighed.

I trotted to the side of the road and raised my hand, a taxi pulled up in front of me, I opened the door and got inside.

"Master, go to the Heaven and Earth Mansion." I closed the door and commanded.

"Wait for me......" Xiaoyu shouted as she hurried to the taxi from more than 10 meters away.

"Drive." I resolutely said to the driver.

As soon as the driver stepped on the accelerator, he immediately left Xiaoyu far behind, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as I watched her slowly grow smaller and disappear in the rearview mirror.

The driver smiled ambiguously at me in the rearview mirror, and I smiled back, and the driver nodded at me in understanding.

I didn't have to say anything all the way, and when I arrived in the lobby on the 20th floor of the headquarters of Tiandi Company, there were still 20 minutes before the interview at 1 o'clock, and there were hundreds of interviews, and according to the designation of the organizers, I would be interviewed here.

I was exhausted from the exertion of last night, and I leaned back in my chair in a trance, my eyelids heavy, and the sleepiness of a summer afternoon tormented me mercilessly.

I was sleepy, but I never dared to sleep, I tried my best to support myself, pricking up my ears and waiting for someone to call me.

I was surrounded by lucky players who had won the lottery, and most of them had a great time talking to each other.

I can't afford to talk to people, and I don't like to talk to strangers.

Today's interview is a turning point in my life, and I can't help but smile at the corner of my mouth when I think of my good fortune.

Tiandi is one of the top game companies in the industry, and the company's most powerful development team has spent several years creating a large-scale, profound, colorful and large-scale online game "Wulin Havoc", which is being grandly launched to the market in the near future.

As usual, the game will be tested first, and the official website of Tiandi Company issued an announcement inviting online game enthusiasts to sign up for the lottery to get a one-month closed beta test, with a total of 100,000 places.

I didn't want to participate in the lottery because I didn't have much confidence in my RP, and I hadn't played an online game in years since I left school, so I didn't know how to get started.

However, I was attracted by a striking headline on the page: Players can receive cash prizes up to millions based on their achievements after the closed beta ends.

My eyes lit up - what I lacked now was money, and my business had failed recently, and I was shy.

In addition, according to the advertisement, the game "has unprecedented freedom and openness, and the content involved is large, so minors are not allowed to participate", which also strongly appealed to me.

So I didn't hesitate to fill out my profile, apply for the lottery, and wait with anticipation for the results in a week.

I received an email yesterday afternoon, and I was stunned for a long time after opening it.

I stared at the invitation from Heaven and Earth for a long time in disbelief, then rubbed my eyes and pinched myself again to make sure it wasn't a dream, and then a wave of ecstasy erupted from within me.

I clenched my hands into fists and yelled at the computer, "Yes! ", vented all the pent-up depression in the past few months.

To celebrate my good fortune, I decided to treat myself to a bar in the evening.

After a few glasses of wine and the negative emotions brought about by unsatisfactory life, I gradually lost control and ended up getting drunk.

Later, I met Xiaoyu and opened a room with her while I was drinking.

Xiaoyu's appearance is really sorry for the audience, and I can't remember the details on the bed at all, the 180 yuan room fee is really unjust, I sighed secretly.

"No. 250, Chen Weiyi." A sharp sound wave swept across the hall and into my ears, pulling me back from my thoughts to reality.

I was startled, then quickly bounced out of my seat and rushed to the office without hesitation.

The female secretary at the door was shocked by my momentum, she looked shocked and stepped out of the way, I flashed past her, and sat down in a leather chair in the middle of the office.

There were 3 people sitting behind the desk, and the person in the middle I knew, he was the young and promising president of Tiandi Company, and Wang Dawei, a computer wizard who had just turned 30, was often exposed in the media.

The two middle-aged men with the appearance of standard successful people next to him looked familiar but couldn't name them, I guess it should be the top management of Tiandi Company.

"Hello, Mr. Chen, I just read your profile, and you are the oldest player to interview so far today." Mr. Wang smiled at me.

Although I was flattered to be personally received by Mr. Wang, his opening remarks made me have a black line.

"Really? Now that online game players are getting younger, I'm still the youngest in the guild with the game I played before. I smiled calmly.

"That was 20 years ago, right?" Wang Dawei teased.

The two people next to me laughed playfully, and I was a little embarrassed, so I had to laugh along.

"Okay, no kidding, let's get down to business." Wang Dawei said, "Welcome Mr. Chen to Tiandi Company, please go to the 30th floor to report, thank you for your support to us." ”

I politely said goodbye to Wang Dawei and the others, and then turned around and left the office gracefully, but scolded Wang Dawei a hundred times in my heart.

If it weren't for the failure of the business, I, a man in my 30s, would have come to be angry with you bastard? There's no way, people are poor and short-sighted, I sighed.

I went to the 30th floor for a routine physical examination, and after that, I left the company and went home.

When I went out, I turned my head and glared fiercely at the four words "Heaven and Earth Building", secretly raised my middle finger, and felt a sense of happiness in my heart.

When I got home, I turned on my computer and went to the official website of "Wulin Catastrophe", wanting to check the information and do my homework - after all, my goal is a huge prize of 1 million, and I must do my best.

I took a cursory look at the background of the game, the era is in the late Ming Dynasty, and the content is nothing more than the struggle of various forces in troubled times.

I opened the game's trailer to get a first glimpse of the game's characters, classes, skills, and more.

The beautiful and gorgeous CG animation is dazzling, accompanied by the momentum of the music, and I am a little enthusiastic after watching it.

I was going to dig deeper, but I was so sleepy that I yawned and turned off my computer.

I've always been playing and exploring games, and it's a habit that is hard to change.

Three days later, I received a notice from Tiandi that I had officially become one of the 100,000 closed beta players of Wulin Havoc.

The email contains detailed instructions for the closed beta, which can be summarized as follows:

First of all, the full experience of the game pod is detailed, and photos are attached - it looks like a coffin, but the bright silver metal shell makes it look less creepy.

I suddenly felt a little tightness in my chest because players would be dormant during the closed beta and would be fighting in the game pod for a month.

According to reports, the wiring in the game cabin leads directly to the central nervous system of the brain, and once connected, the player will be in an almost real game environment, and can experience various sensations, such as: pain.

Secondly, the game notice states that players can quit the game at any time during the closed beta period, which will be regarded as automatic abandonment without any economic compensation or reward, and Tiandi Company also has the right to terminate the player's game for some reasons, and the final interpretation right belongs to Tiandi Company.

Thirdly, Tiandi Company has decided that after the end of the closed beta, in addition to the top players in the game achievement ranking will receive bonuses, each player who persevers to the end will also get the priority to subscribe to the game pod.

Finally, the game notice lists several exemption clauses, especially emphasizing that if the player becomes disabled or dies during the game, Tiandi Company is not responsible for anything, of course, the company is very humane to purchase personal accident insurance for each player with a total compensation of 1 million yuan.

After reading the email, I couldn't calm down for a long time, and I felt like a strong man who was about to step into the battlefield in 2 days.

After thinking about it, I called my parents and told them that I was going on a long trip for about a month, and that I couldn't be contacted because there was no cell phone signal in the remote mountainous area.

Then, I called my ex-wife Ah Ling again and told her that I was going to go out of town to discuss business, and I couldn't pick up my daughter for several weekends in a row.

After graduating from college, I have been in business, and when I make money, Ah Ling helps me spend hard, and when I lose money, she shows me a look - this is the end of marrying a school girl who has nothing to show for it.

I hate myself even more for having no ability or luck, having done a lot of business but not finding a way to make a fortune.

I sent another message to my friends and family in my address book, informing everyone that I would not be able to be reached for a month when I was far away.

Two days later, at 4 p.m., the moment I stepped into the Heaven and Earth Building, I immediately felt my heart beat faster, and all kinds of emotions were mixed together, which was indescribable.

I took the elevator to the 41st floor, and in front of me was a long, narrow horizontal corridor with 20 elevators side by side on one side and 20 longitudinal corridors on the other, each corresponding to an elevator, and 50 game rooms on each side of the longitudinal corridor.

According to my estimates, there are about 2,000 game rooms on the first floor, with a total capacity of 20,000 people from the 31st to 40th floors of the building, and the rest of the beta players are scattered among the various branches of the company.

According to the serial number assigned to me by Heaven and Earth, I was able to find my own game room.

The game room is about 10 square meters, the facilities are very simple, the right hand side of the door is the wardrobe, the right side is against the wall to place the game cabin, the left side is a simple table and chair fixed to the wall and a small door, the door is a bathroom with a shower room.

Once inside, I locked the door with my hands and sat in my seat waiting for instructions on the next step.

"Dear Martial Arts Catastrophe Closed Beta players, please take off all your clothes and lie down in the game pod, and wait patiently for us to guide you to the next step, thank you." The announcement began on the radio and was repeated three times.

I opened the closet, stripped naked, threw it all in, and lay naked in the game pod.

I looked at the white ceiling and felt like a lamb to the slaughter.

The underside of the pod is made of polymer material, the shape of which fits the body, and it is covered with honeycomb-shaped sieve holes, and the butt position is controlled by the system to flip down the lid.

At this time, the radio starts again, and a beautiful female voice begins to guide the player to the next step.

As instructed, I fastened my ankles and then my waist with a strap – this was designed to prevent my body from shifting during the game.

Then, I picked up the headband with several cables attached to it and put it on my head, and adjusted the size to make it tightly around my head.

Finally, I solemnly pressed the green switch on my right-hand side and put my hands on the palm-marked spots on both sides.

The lid of the game pod slowly fell, and I felt my wrists tighten slightly and little by little with the straps that automatically rose up until I couldn't move at all.

The moment the lid fell to the bottom, I was completely plunged into darkness.

For the next minute or so, my ears were buzzing, and in the chaos it was as if several currents were injected into my head, and then traveled along the nerves throughout my brain, causing significant irritation, and even some pain.

Suddenly, my eyes lit up, and I saw something like a movie, but it was blurry.

The image slowly became crisp and three-dimensional, and when the rendering process was complete, I found myself in a room, exactly like the playroom I was in, no longer naked, but wearing a light blue hospital gown-like cotton pants.

I knew it was an illusory scene, but it all seemed so real that I couldn't help but spin around twice and take a few steps back and forth.

At this time, a little girl in her 20s wearing a white coat and a mask knocked on the door and entered, she had a pair of beautiful big eyes.

The little girl looked at the nameplate embedded in the wall and said with a smile, "Mr. 250, please stretch out your left hand, and I will inject you with a dormancy potion." ”

"Why did I get this unlucky number?" I sighed innocently as I stretched out my left hand, and then asked curiously, "Can you sleep for a month with this potion?" It's similar to the needle you took before the space trip in the movie, right? ”

"Yes, Mr. Chen, you will wake up in a month." The little girl smiled.

"So, is it excreted during sleep? I saw a manhole cover in the middle of the game pod. I asked again.

The little girl laughed out loud and nodded and replied, "Yes, the human body still undergoes a slow metabolism in the dormant state, so we ask players to take off their clothes so that our cleaning system can wash and dry them for you in time to ensure your hygiene and health." ”

"Don't you need an infusion? Survive on your body's energy reserves during the month? I asked—and I'll admit that I had a lot of questions, and I was so nervous that I needed to ease my anxiety by talking.

The little girl took the trouble to explain: "This hibernation process is only one month, which is completely within the body's tolerance, so there is no need for additional energy. ”

After a pause, the little girl said: "Don't worry, we will monitor your physical condition around the clock, and if there is any abnormality, our emergency medical team will immediately rush to deal with it." ”

The potion started to work, and my vision blurred.

After about 30 seconds, my eyes were dark and I fell asleep completely.
