It's a game.

Using the latest technology research and development, all NPCs are artificial intelligence, the scenes are beautiful, and entering the game world is as immersive as if they were there, costing billions, several top game companies jointly producing, voice recognition, retina recognition, DNA recognition three major identification systems, a top unified server that can accommodate hundreds of millions of people online at the same time, and tens of millions of players around the world have been waiting for ten years...... All kinds of merits are not enough to describe her charm, and her name is "Plane OL".

However, like all games in the world, this game also has some bugs and vulnerabilities, but only a few people have discovered them for the time being.

In addition, this is the "small number of people" who have mastered the BUG, and it seems that there is no possibility of reporting it to the game company in a short period of time.

Lin Yang is one of these "few people".

……

Lin Yang, in reality, is a professional gamer, mixed in the world of various games, in the early years of the game world used to play equipment, sell game currency, and help others train for a living, but the most he did was to sell accounts, and people who were familiar with him called him "number dealer".

It wasn't until a few years ago that Lin Yang stumbled upon a bug in a very popular game, and all this completely changed.

To put it in layman's terms, selling accounts, selling equipment, selling game currency, etc., the total income in a month is less than the production of a few days of a bug.

As a result, Lin Yang basically lost his old profession and began to be keen on looking for bugs in various games.

However, the situation is not optimistic, and the bugs found are generally divided into three situations:

First: the game is already very perfect, and it took a lot of time and effort to find no bugs.

Second: I finally found some bugs, but they didn't do much, and they were just cool at best.

Third: I was lucky to find a bug, crazy brushing, making a lot of money in a short period of time, and finally causing the balance of the game to be threatened, and being monitored by the operating company, and soon this BUG was fixed. In serious cases, the account will be blocked and all assets will be confiscated.

Lin Yang realized that this was not a long-term solution, and the life of a box full of gold today and a hungry stomach tomorrow was really bad, he had to find a game that would be very popular for a long time in the future, and find a relatively stable bug in this game, even if it was discovered by the operating company, it would turn a blind eye to the bug.

And at this time, "Plane Online" finally has a national open beta.

……

Before the open beta of "Plane Online", the game industry was basically in full bloom, but judging from the game videos and screenshots she kept exploding, as long as she was in the open beta, she would definitely become a hegemon-like existence and stand out from the crowd.

However, until the official website releases the exact open beta time, no game company is too worried about this.

Ten years ago, "Plane Online" first entered everyone's attention, and at that time, all kinds of gossip flooded the Internet, claiming that the overall development progress had reached 90%, predicting that the game would be in public beta next year and the year after.

For a while, the public opinion circle was also like chicken blood, and the topic of discussion between major forums and BBS was also "Plane OL", rather than the popular "Skyrim OL", "Lingyun Zhuangzhi OL", "God Realm OL" and other games.

And the result?

Year after year of waiting, closed beta again and again, and repeated delays, by now, "Plane Online" has completely become synonymous with ticket jumping, and there are not many people who call her real name, and the primary topic for a few friends who are keen on games to get together is still this game, but the subtext has become: "I said, brothers, has "Ticket Jumping Online" jumped recently?" ”

November 11th, 11:11, this is the specific time of the public beta in the center of the official website, and the bright golden characters are particularly eye-catching.

At that time, Lin Yang was surfing the Internet all night at an Internet café in the city, and when he saw this time, his eyes widened in disbelief!

"This is ......" On the left is a Sven buddy with glasses, who is fighting hard in a game, and the corner of his eye glanced at the computer screen in front of Lin Yang, and he was stunned.

On the right is a beautiful girl with flaxen long hair, who is playing a popular hip-hop game, a few fingers are pressed wildly on the keyboard, and after seeing this public beta time, she exaggerated and shouted directly: "Oh my God, "Skip Ticket OL" is finally going to be open beta! ”

After a few seconds, the entire Internet café was boiling.

There is still a week left until the public beta day. My good days are coming. This was Lin Yang's only thought at that time.

……

Recently, there has been an unprecedented amount of discussion about "Plane Online", and you can hear a few words on the street.

"Hey, did you hear that? "Bounce Ticket Online" is finally going to be open beta! It's a week later, November 11th, Singles' Day! ”

"I've heard about it a long time ago, what kind of news is you blocking?"

"It's been ten years, I've been waiting for ten years! I think I was an innocent little boy back then, but now I have a family and a wife...... Ha Luha, I finally waited for it in my lifetime! ”

"Don't get too excited, be careful that you haven't experienced it yet, just hang up in the past few days."

"Get out of the way! Don't say good things, say bad things! ”

"I said, if you have this time to gag, you might as well buy a game helmet first, if you wait until two or three days before the open beta to buy it, I'm afraid the whole street will be full of queues......"

"There are already thousands of people in line now...... If you have enough money, you should buy a game glasses, the helmet is already a product of the last era, how convenient the glasses are, you can play anywhere in the car, go to class, work, eat, sleep, and there are not many people queuing up to buy. ”

"Local tyrant!" Several people complimented together: "Ask for support, it will warm the bed!" ”

Lin Yang smiled and walked past these people, he was ready to be ruthless and use his few savings to buy a pair of game glasses.

"£999, that's a lot of money." At this moment, he felt a pain in his heart: "Forget it, who let me have the honor to participate in the previous few closed tests of "Plane Online"?" ”

……

Lin Yang is right, "Plane Online" has gone through ten years from its first appearance to the release of the public beta time. In the past ten years, I don't know how many technical tests have been held in Lu Dao, and he was fortunate to be invited to the company's headquarters to participate in so many closed tests.

For ordinary players, it is already a great honor to be able to participate in the closed beta of "Plane Online", and it has also laid a solid foundation for the official public beta in the future.

To participate in the closed beta, the conditions are very simple and difficult: at least one constructive suggestion.

As a professional gamer with more than ten years of experience, Lin Yang only put forward a rather "pertinent" opinion: he wants the game to have only one server, the reason is that this can achieve maximum interaction for the whole people.

In fact, this opinion is not even very hopeful for himself.,The ideal is plump.,The reality is very skinny.,The biggest problem is also in the technique.,Just imagine,Ordinary games on the market,The capacity of a server is at most tens of thousands,100,000 people is already the limit.,That will cause a situation where you can take one step and three cards.。

And what if the capacity is 500,000, or even 1 million? I will definitely be stuck, I don't even know my mother, I can't even think about it.

Plane Online's estimated potential players are more than tens of millions.

Putting tens of millions of people on the same server? It's like a fantasy, what a powerful server to build!

Surprisingly, a few days later, Lin Yang received an invitation to the closed beta, and the head office gladly accepted his opinion, which showed that they had the ability to make a "super server" that could accommodate tens of millions of people.

The closed beta lasted a month.

There are thousands of invited players in total, from all over the world, China, Soviet Russia, Britain, France, Germany, Australia, the United States, South Africa, Brazil, Iceland, etc., the company provides a variety of codes for them to use, you can travel freely to the world, get any props, and even fly away to everything, and this group of players has only one purpose, to find any potential bugs.

A cash prize of £1,000 is awarded for each potential bug found.

A white professional gamer from the United States was one of the best among them, finding a dozen bugs in total, taking away more than £10,000, as well as smiles and respect from the company's top brass and eligibility for the next closed beta.

In fact, only Lin Yang knew in his heart that he had found the most bugs, and he had found hundreds of large and small bugs in the one-month closed beta period!

Some bugs are harmless, while others are fatal.

However, he didn't report any of them!

"Report the bug and get a cash reward, this practice is simply killing the chicken and taking the eggs, I look forward to the official open beta day, the BUG in my hand can really play a role, I hope I don't have to wait too long......"

After that, it was another year of waiting, and the closed test again and again.

Lin Yang later participated in several closed tests intermittently, and each time he could find some new bugs, and the bugs in his hands were gradually discovered by others, in general, the bugs in his hands were constantly decreasing, and they were constantly repaired by programmers, and he sweated a little in his heart, if it was not tested fairly, I am afraid that the bugs in his hands would be all discovered!

……

November 11, 2048.

The scheduled beta day has finally arrived. Several game streets in the city have created a rare situation of empty alleys, while several game helmets and game glasses have been lined up in long queues.

Turn on the TV,Major radio stations are also tracking and reporting on "Plane Online",It seems that every country、Every city is basically the same,There were even stampedes in line to buy helmets、Glasses、Casualties、Brawls,Some game street merchants raised their voices against this game on this ground,Many families are also openly opposed to this game because of their children's addiction,But more are fanatical、Hot、Crazy。

There is no doubt that today belongs to "Plane OL", and the whole world is crazy because of her!

Game, as the "ninth art" in the history of human civilization, has a lot to show its influence!

A few minutes later, at 10 o'clock in the morning, a bombshell news appeared on the Internet and TV, and the heads of state and leaders of several superpowers jointly proposed to designate today as "National Singles Game Day"!

"There's still an hour." In the rental house, in front of the computer, Lin Yang put on his game glasses, indifferently faced all kinds of news, deaf to him, he just stared at the countdown of the official website on the computer screen.

"Speech recognition, retinal recognition, and DNA recognition, the three major recognition systems are already in place," a magnetic electronic synthesis female voice came out of her head: "GTX-type gaming glasses have perfectly docked with your neurons, please get ready, you are about to enter the world of "Plane Online". ”

Time is slowly passing and the end is approaching.

5、4、3、2、1……

"I just hope I still have a few bugs to use!" Lin Yang secretly said in his heart, the sky swirled for a while, and a passage composed of colorful lights suddenly appeared in the endless darkness in front of him, and the entire consciousness was sucked into the passage, and he immediately came to a certain bright yellow grand hall, as if he had traveled through endless time and space, and it seemed that he had just taken a step.

"Character Creation Lobby." Looking at this familiar hall, it was roughly the same as the previous few closed beta tests he had participated in, with only minor changes in the details.

"Please select the role you want to create." The electronic synthetic female voice rang out again, echoing through the empty hall.

"Ice Queen, we're all old acquaintances, so we don't need to be so polite, right?" Lin Yang sneered, he was talking to the electronic synthesis sound at the moment, and those who participated in the closed test knew that the electronic synthesis sound was sent by the Ice Queen, and the Ice Queen was everywhere and controlled everything.

In fact, the so-called "Ice Queen" is the entire server itself, to be precise, the "central super processing system" that keeps the server running, completely artificial intelligence, which fundamentally outlawed the existence of GM.

The Ice Queen ignored Lin Yang's words and directly called up the character template.

"Everything is still so familiar."

Lin Yang looked at the character template, it is a tool used to choose gender, body type, bones, skin, and pinching face, waved his finger on the template for a while, and after a while, looking at the character he pinched, Lin Yang nodded with satisfaction: "If you can't be handsome, then it's ugly and earth-shattering, so I will choose you!" ”

"Please give your character a name."

"Let's call it Lin Yang, I am not the only one who has this name in the world, and I will basically not be recognized."

After doing all this, the character who had just been created became Lin Yang's "flesh", tall and big, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, quite a kingly atmosphere, came to the door of the hall, stepped forward, the surrounding scenery slowly changed, Lin Yang's exaggerated smile said: ""Plane OL", I'm here!" ”

……

At this moment, Lin Yang is standing on a meadow full of flowers, full of cattle and sheep, bees and butterflies flying among the flowers, the sky is blue, white clouds, surrounded by mountains in the distance, the top of the mountain is covered with snow, and the coniferous forest at the foot of the mountain is a patch. At the junction of Oriental World is a bay with golden sandy beaches, a small seaside town, and a small harbor for boats.

"There are so many people......

Looking around, the entire grass was full of people, crowded with people, no less than thousands, and players were teleported in one after another. And that's just a tiny fraction of the numbers, many of whom have been transported to a variety of different planes, and I'm afraid that more than 10 million players will enter the game on the first day of the open beta today.

Some people are chopping animals, some are breathing fresh air, some are walking to a seaside town, some are preparing to venture into the mountains in groups, some girls are sitting on the grass under the big trees and chatting, and many more are sighing at the beautiful scene and the feeling of being completely there.

"Damn, buddy, you're really coquettish!" A certain bald man obviously had a strong interest in Lin Yang, and pointed around him: "It's really yours, come and see, there's a strange one here!" ”

With this shout, more than a dozen people around him surrounded him, and Lin Yang couldn't help but have a big head.

"Wow, look at him, it's so bad!"

"Nima, this is against the sky, the eyes as big as a cow, the skin as black as charcoal, the horror of the muscular upper body, the lower body is as muscular, and the funniest thing is that I also chose a bald hairstyle!"

"Oh my God, did I see the legendary aliens? It's really brightening my titanium dog eyes! ”

There was even a man who looked very gentlemanly and patted Lin Yang on the shoulder, and said seriously: "I said brother, it's not your fault that you're ugly, it's your fault to be scary, it's your fault to come out and be scary, let's go back and pinch a handsome guy again and start all over again!" Don't talk about not being able to take your sister like this, even if you see it, you will be scared away! ”

"Yes, listen to him, the IQ of any creature in this game is similar to that of the real world, and others will be scared to death if you walk at night like this!"

The crowd of onlookers in the "......" became more and more, and Lin Yang hurriedly found a gap and disappeared into the sea of people.

A moment later, he appeared more than a dozen kilometers away from the crowd, where there was a small forest.

"Say it, say it, say it hard, you have to be entangled in an appearance for a long time, it's just a skin, and being well equipped is the last word, what else can these people expect?" Before the words fell, Lin Yang began to get down to business, trying the codes he had mastered during the closed beta period one by one.

These codes are very rebellious, invincible, no blood, infinite blue, teleport, through walls, flying away, and getting the best items...... Wait a minute.

“FUCK！” A few minutes later, Lin Yang let out a pig-killing yell: "Damn it! All the code is closed, not a single one works! ”

"It's okay, the code is gone, and there are bugs......" So he started trying bugs again.

Half an hour later, the test results came out, and Lin Yang's heart completely fell to the bottom: almost all of the hundreds of bugs he had mastered had been fixed, and there was only one bug left that could still be used today.

Strictly speaking, it's not a bug, or it can be said to be a well-known bug, it doesn't hurt to fix it or not, its only function is to allow the player to repeat a certain action indefinitely.

When used for running, you can run infinitely, provided that the physical strength is sufficient; Used in forging, it can be infinitely crafted, and the same premise is that the material is sufficient; For food, it becomes infinite eating, and of course there needs to be enough food; It is generally used for flat slashing to achieve the effect of infinite card knife.

"Infinite Card Knife ......" Lin Yang sat in the grove, frowning and thinking, as if he had suddenly felt something.

"Sasha!"

A slight sound of footsteps alarmed Lin Yang, and he looked up to see a sika deer grazing in the dense forest in the distance.

A mysterious man in a cloak was slowly approaching the sika deer, Lin Yang found that this man was an NPC, a flashing black dagger loomed in his sleeve, and his feet stepped on some strange footwork, without making any sound, and he had been close to the back of the sika deer, but he was never noticed.

"It's a thief, he's sneaking right now." Lin Yang immediately saw everything.

The man in the cloak had already come to the back of the sika deer, and the dagger in his sleeve fell with a knife, and the result was a backstab, and the blood bar on the top of the sika deer's head instantly dropped two-thirds.

The sika deer wailed for a while, but did not run away for the time being, and in less than a second, the sika deer's whole body stiffened.

At this time, the cloaked man was about to withdraw from the stealth state, and he swung the dagger again to stab down with lightning speed, and the result was a second backstab, and the power was doubled!

As soon as the sika deer recovered from the stiff state, he wanted to run when he pulled his legs, but the second backstab attacked, his body stiffened again, the blood bar bottomed out, and he fell down with a wail.

The man in the cloak began to harvest the spoils.

All this was done in the blink of an eye, Lin Yang saw it in his eyes, but his heart was greatly touched, and he had a flash of inspiration, and shouted excitedly: "There is!" Backstabbing is a thief's most attractive stunt, and it can only be unleashed without being detected in the back of an enemy. Generally speaking, it only takes one backstab to be discovered, and a powerful thief can successfully perform several backstabs in a short period of time, increasing the power exponentially, but no more than three times. ”

"If I use the Infinite Knife in the backstab of a thief, will it become an infinite stiff and infinite backstab?" Thinking of this, Lin Yang felt a burst of madness in his heart, "If the backstab can continue to loop indefinitely, the superposition of the next few attacks will reach the point of terror, dozens of times later...... It's a thousand-fold improvement! Even if my initial attack power is only 1, if it is doubled continuously, there is a chance to kill some perverted bosses! Oh my god, I've found an ultimate bug! ”

"No,It's definitely not that simple.,Many games have the bug of infinite card knife.,I'm not the only master.,Why haven't I ever heard of someone using a card knife on the backstab?" After the brain fever, Lin Yang sobered up a little, frowned and thought: "I'm afraid there are two problems that need to be solved, first, the backstab is not a flat cut, it needs to consume blue, and I'm afraid the blue is not enough." But that's not the most important thing, the second point is the real problem, you have to reach infinite stiffness before you can complete the infinite backstab. But the time for stiffening is too short, less than a second, then I have to perform at least two backstabs in less than a second, which I am afraid no one can do, and the limit frequency of backstabs is only launched in one second......"

Looking up, the man in the cloak had already divided the sika deer and was about to retreat.

"Wait!" Lin Yang shouted and rushed forward.

The other party immediately pulled out a dagger, crossed it in front of him, and said vigilantly: "Who are you?" ”

"My name is Lin Yang, I'm from afar, I'm ......" made up an excuse, Lin Yang said: "I want to worship you as a teacher!" Please guide me to become a real thief! ”

"Oh? Do you want to be a thief? This NPC's IQ is really no different from ordinary people, and he said indifferently: "Was it a sudden whim, or did you fancy a certain skill?" It's not easy to be a thief, and I don't teach anyone who fishes for three days and dries nets for two days! ”

"I really want to be a thief!" Lin Yang immediately knelt down.

After a conversation, the two of them already knew the bottom line, and Lin Yang also learned some other information.

The man in the cape, named Hawke, is a lone thief who is currently wandering around the seaside town for the time being. And the plane where Lin Yang is currently located is called the Lawson plane, which is a plane about dragons, swords and magic, it can be determined that there are as many planes in "Plane OL" as the sand of the Ganges, Lin Yang has not been to this plane in the previous few closed tests, and all the current environment is unfamiliar to him.

After the sun went down, the two raised a pile of firewood outside the grove and set up two tents.

"The path of a thief is not easy, and he always has to be accompanied by loneliness and death." Hawke roasted venison by the fire and said, "Young man, have you really thought about it?" ”

"I've figured it out." Lin Yang nodded.

"Well, I'll teach you everything I know. If you want to become a qualified thief, you must learn the three elements of a thief, that is, stealth, concealment, and backstabbing; And to become a real thief, you have to learn three things, which are lockpicking, pickpocketing, and cheating......"

Lin Yang stayed in the grove for half a month, and followed Hawke into the woods to hunt and practice thief skills every day during the day; In the evening, listen to Hawke teach various experiences by the fire. From time to time, some players will enter this grove, Lin Yang will choose to avoid it, one of them really can't dodge, was bumped into by a team, several people are gagging with Lin Yang, of course, the topic always revolves around Lin Yang's appearance.

As for Hawke, he was naturally ruthlessly ignored.

"Almost, I think I should go." Half a month later, Lin Yang had learned all the basic skills of being a thief, although he was not very proficient in it. This is also the first career he has become since the Open Beta. He took a chance to say goodbye to Hawke.

"Good men have ambitions in all directions, and I don't object." Hawke smiled boldly, took out a dagger with a black light and handed it to Lin Yang, and said, "This is for you, it should be regarded as a farewell gift!" ”

"The teacher is above, please accept the apprentice's worship!" Although he knew that the other party was an NPC, Lin Yang still bowed down without hesitation, so he dared to take the dagger with a clear conscience, but when he saw the attributes of the dagger, he was stunned:

Twin Daggers:

Requirement Level: 1

Special Effect: After successfully launching a backstab, there is a certain chance to trigger a second backstab, and a very low probability of launching a third time.

Synopsis: Produced on the Plane of Lawson, forged by a legendary thief, the exact age is unknown. The biggest known allusion to this dagger is that it was once stained with the blood of a legendary powerhouse and slaughtered a dragon.

"It turns out that Hawke is just an ordinary thief, and his greatest reliance is on this dagger, and now it has been passed down to me......"
