Chapter 1: The Skull Ring
On the 26th of July, a scorching hot day, the scorching sun hung high over people's heads, the scorching sun shone on the scorched earth, and the cicadas chirped knowingly, reminding the young men and women who lined up in a long line on the street that it was now the hottest time of summer.

"I, Nima, this sun is really poisonous, Lao Tzu is about to be roasted." Someone burst into foul language.
"Who said no, isn't this just a few girls who have been carried away due to physical exhaustion, if it weren't for the fact that today is the first day of the Dingtian open beta, who wants to wait here and queue up, Lao Tzu would rather shrink in the air conditioner for a day."
"I don't know when this sales point will open, I've been waiting since the morning, and if it doesn't open, I can't hold on."
……
The complaints are mixed with abuse, but even so, no one is willing to give up the line and leave, and if you ask why, everyone present will be able to answer you.
Dingtian, a breakthrough reform in the history of human games, after a year of publicity in 2022, this masterpiece of the game has completely penetrated into every corner of the world, yes, it is the world, all mankind, after hundreds of maintenance and modifications a year, now this game is finally on July 26, 2023 Today, the news spread a week ago, and today is the first day of the game's opening, Therefore, those who have not purchased a game account have to queue up to buy a game account even in the scorching sun.
In the long procession, there were young elementary school students of eleven or twelve, middle-aged people in their forties and fifties, but the majority of them were young men and women in their twenties.
Mo Xiaotian, a seventeen-year-old sophomore in high school, has accumulated a year's pocket money and usually uses the balance of his spare time to buy a game account today, he has been queuing up since five o'clock in the morning, and it is almost twelve o'clock now. The black hair on his forehead had already been wet with sweat, but he didn't care.
"Today is the first day of the open beta, you must buy it, you must buy it."
He prayed in his heart that although the morning had come early enough, there were still people lining up earlier than him, and there were hundreds of people in front of him.
"Open the door, open the door."
There was a commotion in front, and the people behind all stretched out their necks, and they all became a little excited, as if the harsh summer day had been left behind by them at this moment.
"Everyone stand in line, for the convenience of yourselves, I hope everyone can cooperate well and don't mess up the order."
The women's clothing manager in front of him held a loudspeaker to remind the excited queue crowd, and everyone was very cooperative when they heard the words, but their eyes were full of anxiety when they looked ahead, because the number of each sale is limited, and the more you can buy it later, the smaller the chance of being able to buy it.
The game account is very simple,The country has been carefully designed when developing this game,In order to make it more convenient for human beings,So the game account is designed to look like a ring,And the level of the ring also has different levels,Divided into ordinary levels,Silver level、Gold and diamond level,According to the official,The level of the account has no impact on the strength of the game,More precisely,The ring is the backpack that comes with the system after entering the game,Ordinary backpack is only sixteen grids,And the silver one is twenty grids, Twenty-five blocks for gold and forty for diamonds.
However, although it is only the difference in the grid, the price in reality is much worse, ordinary accounts only need 10,000 yuan, silver level needs 50,000 yuan, gold level needs 150,000 yuan, diamond level is 500,000 yuan.
"Hello sir, what level of account do you need?"
Finally it was Mo Xiaotian's turn, facing the beautiful sister on the other side to ask, Mo Xiaotian's eyes locked on the ring in the ordinary column, and the money he had worked hard to save for a year was more than 10,000 yuan, where to buy a high-end account.
"Give me the ordinary."
Mo Xiaotian replied.
"Okay, choose the style you like."
The beautiful sister at the counter opened the ordinary bar, and although it was the lowest-level account, it also had a variety of shapes, which could be chosen according to everyone's preferences.
Mo Xiaotian looked at the ordinary ring, there were many types, and at a glance, he found that there were a few of them that he liked, and just as Mo Xiaotian was about to make a decision from it, a strange green light suddenly flashed at the corner under the ring bar.
"Huh?"
The ring with the skull fell into Mo Xiaotian's sight, was that an illusion just now, how could this account shine on its own? Could it be that I was wrong?
And just when Mo Xiaotian was about to look away, the skull ring flashed a green light again, and this time Mo Xiaotian really saw that it was indeed this skull ring.
Mo Xiaotian raised his head and looked at the beautiful sister.
"Have you chosen?"
Mo Xiaotian looked at the other party, the other party didn't seem to notice the abnormality at that moment just now, could it be said that she didn't see it?
"Have you chosen, because the time is relatively tight, please hurry up."
The beautiful sister reminded Mo Xiaotian again, and the people in line behind Mo Xiaotian also reminded impatiently.
"Okay, that's it."
I don't know what psychology it was, Mo Xiaotian finally chose the skull ring that was not in the range of choices before.
"Okay."
The beautiful sister took out the skull ring, packed it, and handed it to Mo Xiaotian, and Mo Xiaotian brushed out the savings accumulated for a year, although he was a little distressed, but when he thought of the value represented by this game, he felt that it was very worthwhile.
With the purchase account, Mo Xiaotian returned home full of excitement, and when he got home, Mo Xiaotian ran to his room on the second floor without saying a word.
"Little God, although you don't have to relax too much every day during the summer vacation, it's the third year of high school when school starts, so you have to hurry."
The middle-aged woman downstairs looked at her sweaty son with an apron and couldn't help but remind.
"Don't worry, Mom."
"You kid, don't turn on the air conditioner too much, it's easy to catch a cold, you haven't eaten at noon, what do you want to eat?"
"Egg fried rice."
After Mo Xiaotian finished speaking, he closed the door, and the opening time of the game was twelve o'clock in the evening, so now even if he brought a ring, he couldn't connect to the game, Mo Xiaotian turned on the computer and began to search for a forum about Dingtian.
In fact, you don't need to search for it yourself at all, as soon as you open the website, it's basically all Dingtian's information, and any click on one is a hot comment level.
Mo Tianxiao opened the forum, and the titles were crowded with hot comments, it is hard to imagine how hot Dingtian has become today, there are more than 6 billion people in the country, according to the previous predictions between countries, the accounts sold by players in China alone have reached 100 million, and this is still preliminary.
"What you need to know about Dingtian newcomers, official?"
Mo Xiaotian saw that the publisher behind it was official, and immediately paid attention to it and clicked on this post.
Click on the post, the first thing that catches your eye is the magnificent poster picture of Dingtian, Mo Tianxiao next flips through the following.

……
Mo Xiaotian looked at the dense rules, some of which attracted the attention of many people, and the one with the greatest impact was the simulation.
Looking at the comment area, it has exploded, because the simulation degree cannot be changed, that is to say, the perception of the game world is infinitely close to the real world, and if a person is killed, it is equivalent to the feeling of being killed in the real world, but it is not real death.
exited the post, Mo Xiaotian turned the forum again, and clicked on the hot posts one by one.
With a squeak, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman walked in.
"Little God, don't hold the computer every day, come on, come on, put it down first, and eat it quickly."
"Got it, Mom."
Mo Xiaotian took over the big bowl of egg fried rice, and put a few pieces of sweet and sour pork ribs on top of the egg fried rice, which is his favorite dish.
"Eat slowly, why are you eating so fast, really."
Mo Xiaotian's mother's surname is Wu, called Wu Yaping, is a primary school teacher, because it is now the summer vacation, she just stayed at home and did not go out to work, and her father is doing civil engineering, usually busy on the construction site during the day, and usually comes back at night.
"Mom, it's delicious."
Mo Xiaotian grinned and handed over the dishes and chopsticks.
"Hey, it's not good for your stomach to eat so fast, you don't listen to what you say." Wu Yaping held the dishes and chopsticks, "Don't play the game for too long, remember to read later." ”
"Got it."
Mo Xiaotian closed the door, returned to the computer and continued to browse the forum, browsing for more than an hour, Mo Xiaotian closed the computer. Walked to the desk and opened the account box, there was a skull ring lying in the box, which I spent 10,000 yuan in exchange, although I was looking forward to it, but I couldn't enter the game until twelve o'clock.
With a move in his heart, Mo Xiaotian directly brought the skull ring to his hand.
