Chapter 1: Re-entering the Fantasy
The intense pain in his head suddenly woke Zhao Dabao from his sleep. Covering his head and struggling to get up from the bed, Zhao Dabao, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, had a big question mark in his mind.
"What's going on? Am I not dead? How so? ”
Talking to himself in confusion, he coldly saw the date displayed on the paper calendar full of quaint atmosphere at the head of the bed: '8 o'clock on January 1, XX00'.
Seeing this time, Zhao Dabao suddenly fell from the side of the bed and sat on the ground in surprise.
"How so? It's hard to ......"
seemed to have thought of something, Zhao Dabao seemed to be crazy, with a stunned expression on his face, and carefully checked his less than 40 square meters of house, without letting go of any corner.
"That's it, it's true! Hahaha......"
Looking at this home ten years ago, which had already disappeared from his memory, Zhao Dabao let out a burst of crazy laughter.
Zhao Dabao, male, 24 years old, an ordinary resident and orphan in Xiacheng District, LY City, Huaxia Empire. As a resident who has lived alone since he was a child in the Lower Town, known as the shadow of the empire and full of sin. Life has been handed over to Zhao Dabao many experiences that others can't experience in a lifetime. It's like surviving in the cracks, one qiē and one qiē, he can only rely on himself.
Ever since he killed a member of the organization at the age of six who tried to bring him back to the organ trading organization as a donor, Zhao Dabao has understood a truth. Only by being more ruthless than the others can we survive in this sinful lower town. ’
Relying on such ruthlessness, in this Xiacheng District, where fish and snakes are mixed, Zhao Dabao gradually became famous. The income also far exceeds that of others. Finally, on the day of his 20th birthday (Zhao Dabao's birthday was set by himself, that is, the day he killed for the first time), he saved enough money to buy this relatively safe small house in Ping'an Street, which is located in the high-end settlement of the lower district of LY City, and applied for the qualification to live in Zhongcheng District.
In the four years he waited for the review of Guò, he left undeserved traces on his file in order not to let himself enter Midtown. Zhao Dabao changed his previous style and became a simple otaku. Relying on the money he saved before, he lived peacefully.
It was also during this time that Zhao Dabao came into contact with virtual games for the first time, and with the goal of becoming a professional gamer, he devoted himself to it wholeheartedly.
Virtual games have become the most important leisure method for human beings in the era in which Zhao Dabao lives. The currency in the game is linked to the currency of the real world. In this context, the status of those top players who can dominate the game has naturally been greatly improved. Because of this, more and more people who are not satisfied in reality are setting their sights on the increasingly vigorous development of virtual games. A profession with a high income and a certain social status such as a professional gamer came into being.
Unfortunately, in the past 4 years, Zhao Dabao has entered three different virtual games. Every time I am full of fighting spirit, but in the end, I just don't like everyone else in the game. It's not that he lacks talent, on the contrary, Zhao Dabao's game talent is very good. The reason why it can't stand out is that luck is at work. However, it is not all about luck. This also has a certain relationship with Zhao Dabao's choice.
In this era of virtual games, every once in a while, countries around the world will launch a large-scale game of a global nature for everyone to entertain and make a living. In such a game, the number of qiē is all handed over to the super brain jointly developed by various countries to be processed independently. No one can intervene to ensure the fairness of the game.
In addition to this, some companies will also invest in other virtual games for the entertainment of a small number of people. Such a game is under the control of the company. If players want to stand out from the crowd, it can be difficult to imagine.
Unfortunately, the three games that Zhao Dabao entered were all small games made by this kind of company.
If nothing changes, on the day Zhao Dabao wakes up, a new world-wide game "Fantasy" will officially run at eight o'clock in the evening. Before that, though, two hours later. At ten o'clock in the morning on this day, Zhao Dabao will receive a notice of review and approval. At any time after that, he can take this notice to the local civil administration office to exchange for the identity of a resident of Midtown and go to live in Midtown.
"Fantasy" is a new game that collects the myths and legends of various countries and transforms them as the background of the game, which is completely different from the previous games. It radiates a vitality far beyond the likeness of all people. Even ten years later, the game is still running at an extremely high level. Almost everyone threw themselves into it and created a miracle of "fantasy" for the whole people. Many people have relied on this game to gain the capital to change the trajectory of their lives.
If nothing changes, Zhao Dabao will miss out on this fiery miracle. He would immediately receive the notice and go in exchange for identification for a Midtown resident. Sold the current house, plus all the remaining savings, and bought a small room of only a dozen square meters in Midtown.
For the next two years, he would run into walls everywhere because he didn't have a skill. The control of Zhongcheng District was far from being comparable to that of Xiacheng District, and coupled with Zhao Dabao's own desire to become a normal ordinary person, he sank like this for two whole years. I don't have a regular job, and I barely make a living by doing odd jobs here and there. It wasn't until two years later that he would get a job and get a job in Fantasy on the strong recommendation of his colleagues.
Because of the waste of two full years, no matter how talented and capable Zhao Dabao is, he can't be compared with the first echelon in the game.
The dull and stable life day after day gradually wore out Zhao Dabao's blood. He finally became an ordinary person and got the life he had dreamed of having since he was a child.
If that change hadn't happened, Zhao Dabao's life might have continued like this. Unfortunately, things often don't go your way. One day ten years later, Zhao Dabao met a woman in the game who made him feel excited. She was so young and beautiful. Just turned eighteen and qualified to enter the virtual game. For the qiē in the game, they are extremely curious. Full of reverence for the masters in the game.
At that time, although Zhao Dabao missed two years, he did not become a member of the first echelon of the game. But in the second echelon, Zhao Dabao's name is also relatively loud. In a sect founded by several rich second generations, including the son of the boss of the company where he works, he holds the position of elder.
After meeting her, Zhao Dabao's life finally had some more color. He brought her into his sect, and every day he looked forward to meeting her in the game after work.
The world is impermanent, and such a beautiful day did not last long. The founder of the sect, the son of the owner of the company he worked for, discovered her by chance. Then, a tragedy struck. Reality intervened in the virtual, and she finally fell into his hands, and a pure little white flower had other colors on it. Her life has undergone a huge transformation, and the collision of ideals and reality has made her soul unbearable, and the flowers have withered.
Zhao Dabao, who learned about this qiē, went crazy. He quit that job and gave up the life he had dreamed of as a young man. I want to regain the blood that has been worn out and avenge her.
He did his research, made thorough preparations, and finally achieved his goal. But after all, he is no longer the same person he once was, and the world is no longer the world it once was. In just two hours after he achieved his revenge, two people who would otherwise have handled this case magically appeared in front of him. While learning a secret that he never expected, he also paid with his life.
However, a qiē has changed. Zhao Dabao returned to that point in time that made him extremely regretful before he died. The future seems to be all in his hands.
Thinking back to the information about "Fantasy" for the past ten years, Zhao Dabao just stood in place stupidly. Time passed minute by minute, and it wasn't until the courier who brought him the notice rang his doorbell that Zhao Dabao came to his senses.
calmly completed the signing, threw aside the notice sheet that had made him so longing, picked up the phone, and Zhao Dabao began a series of operations about the future.
After nearly two hours of contemplation, Zhao Dabao initially figured out the way he was going to go. is also desperate, the difference is that Zhao Dabao chose to go to Midtown to live the life he once dreamed of; Now Zhao Dabao is about to start a legendary life.
I used all my savings to order a top-of-the-line game warehouse and bought enough instant noodles for a month. After calming down his excitement, Zhao Dabao began to plan his future path more precisely.
Zhao Dabao again, this time, wants to use the game as the beginning of a change. The reason for such a decision was to make such a secret that he had learned before he died.
After Zhao Dabao succeeded in revenge, he came to the place where she chose to wither. Sit quietly at the top of a building hundreds of meters high, looking down on the whole city. While drinking spirits, I reminisced about the moments I had with her.
Just when he was a little confused, he saw a scene that shocked him immensely. The sight made him think he was in the middle of a game.
Two enforcers in police uniforms came to him like sword fairies in the game, stepping on brilliant flying swords and drawing two neon rays in the air.
Zhao Dabao, who got the truth from these two people, was shocked, and until now, after experiencing such a fantastic thing, he still can't let go.
The exercises in the game can be practiced simultaneously in reality. As long as you're using the top-of-the-line gaming inventory, you're getting the top-of-the-line nutrient solution. Then when you get the exercises in the game and start cultivating, your body in reality will also practice at the same time. But without the support of the game pod and nutrient solution, the energy of the real world is far from enough for you to gain that kind of magical power.
At six o'clock in the evening, the game warehouse was finally delivered. Correspondingly, there is also the top quality nutrient solution that is enough for one year for free. Watching the staff complete the installation and debugging of the game warehouse little by little, Zhao Dabao's mood once again couldn't help but stir.
After making a bowl of noodles for himself and satisfying his simple appetite, Zhao Dabao took out all the obstacles on his body and lay down in the game warehouse. Like a baby in the mother's womb, he immerses himself in a nutrient solution.
Surrounded by a nutrient solution, the human body does not actually need to eat. The nutrients in the nutrient solution are fully sufficient to meet all the physiological needs of human beings, and there will be no residual phenomena (feces, urine). But for Zhao Dabao, how can the nutrients of the nutrient solution be wasted on such a place? Heaven has given him a chance to start again, and he must hold on to it.
The time soon came to eight o'clock in the evening, and the "Fantasy" that Zhao Dabao was looking forward to was finally officially started. Zhao Dabao, who was lying in the game warehouse, only felt that his eyes were dark, and when he opened his eyes again, his consciousness had entered this fantasy game world.
At his feet is a verdant green grass, and dreamy auspicious clouds float overhead. A majestic mountain peak in the distance, blooming with a brilliant glow.
"Hello dear players! Welcome to the fantasy world. This game is jointly developed by countries around the world, and is based on many myths and legends circulating around the world, which will bring you an unprecedented new experience! ”
"First of all, please confirm your name in the fantasy world! Please note that the name must not exceed sixteen words; It shall not contain any words or words that violate the law; No symbols are allowed! ”
Hearing the familiar system prompt sound ringing in his ears, Zhao Dabao was uncontrollable again. He knew full well that a legendary path was about to unfold at his feet.
Knowing that the system reminded him to confirm the name for the third time, Zhao Dabao came to his senses. He knew very clearly that his current psychology and emotions were problematic. Forcing himself to calm down, Zhao Dabao, who was calm, indifferently said the name of the game that had been determined a long time ago.
"Stone Companion Flower!"
'Stone' is a word in the name of the game he used to use, and the name of his game was called 'an unknown stone'. And 'flower' is a word in the name she once used. 'Stone Companion Flower', although the one qiē has changed, and the one qiē is no longer there, Zhao Dabao still hopes that he can remember her and remember the 'little white flower'.
"Is 'Stone Companion Flower' confirmed?"
"Confirm!"
"Detected that your landing area is Huaxia Empire, it will automatically divide you into Huaxia District!"
"There are three races that players in Huaxia can choose from, Terran, Monster, and Spirit; There are five professions, knight, monk, sword fairy, monk, and sorcerer. Please identify your ethnicity and occupation! ”
These three races and five professions are unique to the Chinese region. Let's talk about race first, there is no difference between the three races in terms of employment, only in terms of talent.
The Terrans are gifted with learning and using tools. Learning can reduce the need to learn exercises and skills; The device can improve the utilization effect of the equipment, in short, it is to increase the attributes of the equipment.
Youkai's talents are cultivation and transformation. Cultivation can increase the speed and efficiency of meditation (one of the most important exercises in the game is exercises, and the level of most exercises must be obtained by meditation); Transformation, on the other hand, can change back into the main body of the youkai (the transformation of the youkai needs to complete the corresponding tasks.) Depending on the ontology of the change, the difficulty of the task is also differentiated).
The talents of spirit ghosts are the void body and the food qi. The Void Body can make the spirit ghost immune to all physical damage, but it also takes more spell damage; Eating gas can increase the efficiency of experience gain from ghosts, and when killing the same target, ghosts will gain more experience than Terrans and monsters.
Speaking of the five major professions, different professions have different initial specializations; In terms of the characteristics of the profession, the knight is good at short-range physical damage, the monk is a long-range magic injury, and the sword fairy is in between. THE CLERIC HAS A LARGE NUMBER OF BUFFS, WHILE THE WIZARD HAS A DEBUFF.
If it were someone else, it might have to be thought about for a long time. After all, every qiē in the game "Fantasy" is such a novelty. But for Zhao Dabao, he has already had his own set of long-term plans.
Without waiting for the system to give more specific information, Zhao Dabao confirmed his race and occupation.
"Terran, sorcerer!"
"Race Terran, professional shaman, do you want to confirm it?"
"Confirm!"
Such a combination of race and occupation is the best choice that Zhao Dabao has spent more than half a day trying to integrate the information he knows.
Having confirmed the race and class, Zhao Dabao is ready to start the game. In his memory, the establishment of the rookie account has ended all of it. But the sound of the system that continued to sound in his ears made him feel a little trance.
"Since the game compartment you are using is a top-of-the-line model, you will be given an additional gift package and the right to choose your place of birth. Please select the lit section of the map where you are about to start your fantasy journey! ”
'Huh? What's going on? I haven't heard that the top game warehouse also has the right to choose the place of birth! ’
Zhao Dabao knows the so-called small gift package. After opening, you will get a small number of gold sore potions ranging from one to ten, which can restore a certain amount of health. In general, it doesn't play much role, it's just better than nothing, and it's just a little psychological comfort for these big investors who are willing to buy top game warehouses.
But this right to choose the place of birth made Zhao Dabao attach great importance to it. One is that he hadn't heard of it before; Second, this right may not have much effect on others, but for him, it can make him gain unexpected gains.
In fact, the all-out efforts of this so-called selection novice village were also saved before. However, after only one day, it was canceled. The reason is simple, all of them are newcomers, and there is any point in having the freedom to choose where to speak out? It's just a way for players to gang up earlier! This is a kind of harm to ordinary players. After all, the fact that grand guilds and powerful players can come together from the start will naturally have an impact on the average player who is single. Because of this, just the second day of the game, such a benefit is canceled by the system. Zhao Dabao entered the game too late, and the information in the game was too complicated, so he naturally ignored it.
Although there was some confusion, Zhao Dabao still decisively chose the place in his memory where he could directly obtain the top secret treasure in the novice village.
"The birthplace is confirmed, Jiuyuan Mansion, Linyuan County, Big Oak City, Gaoliu Town, and No. 6 Village! Dear players, please get ready! In three seconds, your journey to the fantasy world will begin! ”
"The countdown begins!"
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Teleportation open, happy journey in the fantasy world!"
Accompanied by the system sound next to his ears, Zhao Dabao only felt that his eyes were dark, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already appeared in the game world of "Fantasy".
