Chapter 1 – Stillborn
It was a dark room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There was only one small window in the room, and a cold breeze blew in from outside, so that the room was not too stuffy.
In the center, a very old television is playing. The model is the old boxy one that can be put in a museum, and the colors are even darker and frighteningly dull. Today's televisions are already holographic stereoscopic images.
In front of this old TV is a single-sized nylon bed.
This kind of easy-to-fold nylon bed has not been eliminated until now.
A teenager sat quietly on the bed, watching the TV.
The teenager looked very young, probably less than twenty years old.
Twenty-two years old is his real age.
But the light in his eyes was so sharp, as intimidating as two sharp swords.
The TV was playing a commercial that lasted for several minutes.
A new experience!
Can you imagine a game that brings you a different kind of life?
As the narration continues, the TV screen flashes quickly, with green hills, green water, and blue sky.
A new game – realworld. It has already had more than 100 million players in the first week of its launch. And the number of players is rising at a rocket-like pace!
Inside the game, it is almost unmistakable from everyday life!
One by one, the pictures in the movie appeared on the TV, as if they were real people communicating and chatting on the TV, but the teenager knew very well that this was not a specially made image because of the advertisement. What this game does is really look like the real world. Thinking of this, the young man clenched his fists even more, and his eyes were filled with an emotion, called unwillingness.
As a game, it is inevitable that the battle is inevitable! The narrator's voice is excited: the battles in the game are real-time battles, making you feel the thrill of trembling and excitement as if you are back in the old days!
The picture jumped, watching several men shouting, and in front of them was a giant lizard! One of the men held a round shield that glowed with holy light and spread outward, a huge golden shield of light enveloping the crowd and blocking the lizard's corrosive attacks.
Seeing this, the other man rushed forward with a big sword that was tall with both hands, and his body exuded bursts of blood-colored brilliance!
The boy sitting in front of the TV knows that this is a profession called a berserker.
The people on the TV work together to finally bring down the monster, and then smile brightly.
The real world uses the latest technology to use brain waves to jump right into the game! Completely out of the manual era.
The screen jumps to a helmet that has been created with a very high sense of technology, and it rotates at 360 degrees.
The real world gives you another life! Waiting for you to challenge!
This is not a short advertisement, but it gives people a feeling of being dizzying.
The boy turned off the TV in despair.
In fact, 100 million players? It's much more than that.
This game gives people a real feeling of experiencing a second life! Men and women, young and old, cannot resist this charm.
The number of players jumps in exponential progression.
The more this happens, the more unwilling the teenager becomes.
Toot toot.
The phone rings in your trouser pocket.
After the boy took it out, he saw the caller, took a deep breath, and then connected.
Feed.
Mr. You, it's me.
On the other side of the conversation was an old voice.
But the young man would not look down on the old man opposite in the slightest, because he knew that the old man who was talking to him was the one who was now holding the lifeblood of the game in the Ten Cities of the East. Even if he has such an identity, he does not have any qualifications to be proud in front of this old man.
A week passed. I'm sure you've seen the reaction of the ad to the player, right?
The young man said unwillingly: This is not fair, there must be something wrong in it! Even if it's a coincidence, it's impossible to coincidentally even have the same name of the game, which is naked plagiarism......
Mr. You!
The old man's voice carried an unquestionable momentum: please make it clear, now they have succeeded. And you're only preparing for the first Open Beta. Now, who has failed? And what about copyright? You're all a few steps behind! What's more, in the world of malls, plagiarism? Who cares about that, it's like history is always written by the winners, and the losers are left alone.
The old man's voice was like a sharp arrow, piercing the young man's heart.
The old and the young were silent.
After a long time, the old man spoke: "Mr. You, I also had some friendship with your father. And where your company is now...... I don't need to say more, I'm sure you know better than I do. I'll get straight to the point! I am willing to acquire your company, which is called a merger, and I guarantee that all the old employees of your company will not be fired. It's just that......
The young man smiled bitterly at this time: It's just that I, the chairman, have to abdicate and make way for Xian, right?
The old man was silent for a moment, and then spoke again: "Mr. You, you should know that your company is worthless in my eyes except for the once well-known name of Changyou Games. I believe that my offer and conditions have no possibility of refusing Mr. You.
The boy surnamed You still didn't speak, but he was still thinking quickly in his mind.
With your company's current state of economics...... Will you survive this month? As if feeling the hesitation of the young man, the old man's last words completely shattered the last layer of protection in the young man's heart.
Good. I sell.
…………
The boy rode on the five-story maglev passenger bus and stared blankly out of the colorful window.
Next stop, Weiye Avenue.
The electronic sound of the bus woke the boy from his contemplation, and he hurriedly got off the bus.
After getting out of the car, the teenager walked quickly, seemingly trotting but faster than ordinary people running, but the miraculous thing was that the teenager did not breathe.
Soon, he took out his employee ID card in his hand.
This chairman's card, which once represented Changyou Games, quickly lost its utility, right?
After Paika entered the door, the young man walked quickly and came to the front of the dining hall.
He opened the door of the canteen without hesitation, even if the hundreds of employees in the canteen gathered in it at the moment, he was not surprised. Because this collection was originally ordered by him.
Everyone looked at the young chairman, with admiration and disdain...... Mixed tastes.
The young man spoke: Hello everyone, I am You Long, your chairman.
I'm sorry to tell you, but I'll no longer be your chairman from tomorrow. Because Changyou Game Company no longer belongs to our Youjia, I have sold it to the chief of the game industry in the Ten Cities of the East. But the guarantee I got from them was that none of you would be fired.
Woo......
In the corner, dozens of men and women cried quietly.
They all belong to the game development department.
Only they know how much the chairman has paid for the company. In order to develop the real world, in addition to borrowing, he also sold all his famous cars and houses, and all of them were converted into working capital. While they were ambitious to put the world-shattering online game into public beta, the real world of television was now born.
This real world is different from the real world, and the amazing brainwave system alone has made the faces of people who enjoy the game look like ashes. They tried to find out what the brainwave system had on humans, but they found that the brainwave system was even more mature and complete than they had imagined.
The brainwave system does not cause any adverse effects on the brain at all.
Stillborn.
These are the best words to describe them.
