Chapter 1: The Sanctuary
Midnight.
Darkness envelops Sanyuan City.
There is not a single figure in sight on the empty streets, and the dim street lights illuminate the streets, making the whole street look deserted.
At this moment, a figure appeared at the corner of the street and walked along the street unhurriedly.
"It's been working overtime so late today, it's really a dog." The young man grumbled.
His name is Li Fei and he is nineteen years old. After dropping out of high school last year, he entered the society to make money, and now he is a waiter at the Century Hotel.
During this time, he often worked overtime until the early hours of the morning, which made him physically and mentally exhausted. Li Fei was tired of such days.
But what about boredom?
The family lives in a slum, and the parents have no power and power, and belong to the lowest group of people in society. Li Fei came to the city to work alone to make money, and if he didn't work hard, he might starve to death on the streets.
Li Fei dragged his tired body and slowly walked towards his residence.
"What are you doing?"
Suddenly, he heard a voice coming from a small alley next to him.
Li Fei glanced at the alley, and saw two gangster-looking young men, holding fruit knives in their hands, forcing a middle-aged man in his forties into a corner.
The middle-aged man's face was pale and scared.
Now is the best time for criminals to commit crimes.
Do you want to save him?
Li Fei hesitated in his heart, he had just finished working the night shift, he was physically and mentally exhausted, and he could hang up without caring about himself.
Li Fei had learned some fighting skills before, and he often did rough work, and he was strong and strong, and those two gangsters were not his opponents at all.
If you can help, you can help.
Li Fei endured the fatigue of his body, walked into the alley, and yelled: "Stop!" Let go of that uncle! ”
The two thugs turned their heads to look at Li Fei, stunned for a moment, and then sneered, "Boy, do you want to be strong?" ”
"So what?" Li Fei said sharply.
"You're looking for death."
The two thugs took fruit knives and stabbed Li Fei in the chest.
Li Fei jumped back, dodging the fruit knives of the two, and at the same time picked up the trash can at the mouth of the alley with both hands and slammed them at each other.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Those two thugs were no match for the strong Li Fei, they were smashed to the point that their heads were bleeding, and they fled out of the alley in a hurry.
Li Fei put down the trash can and glanced at the middle-aged man in the corner. He wore thick glasses, a kind face, and a polite appearance, and his legs were weak because of the frightening of the two thugs.
Why is this man so cowardly? Li Fei said secretly in his heart.
"Scared the baby to death." The middle-aged man patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, still feeling a little palpitating.
Burst!
When Li Fei heard his words, he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
This middle-aged uncle with gray hair and wrinkles actually calls himself this baby, is there something wrong with his brain?
"Uncle, don't wander around outside alone at night, it's easy to be robbed." Li Fei said to the middle-aged man.
"Thank you so much, young man." The middle-aged man stood up, took Li Fei's hand and said that he was very grateful for his righteous and courageous behavior.
"When the road is uneven, he roars, and when he should make a move, he will make a move, and it is just a matter of raising his hands." Li Fei said.
After saying that, he was ready to turn around and leave.
He was sleepy right now, and he just wanted to get into his bed and get some sleep.
"Wait, young man, you saved me, I'll give you something." The middle-aged man said.
What is it?
Li Fei stopped and looked at the middle-aged man.
I saw a middle-aged man take out a palm-sized iron box from his trouser pocket.
This iron box is beautifully made, with many delicate patterns engraved on the surface, and there are two words in the middle - Sanctuary.
"This thing was supposed to be destroyed tonight, and the last one remained. But this baby is so willful, send you. The middle-aged man said with a smile, smiling with a wrinkled face.
Li Fei took the box, didn't know what it was, and put it in his trouser pocket.
"Uncle Zhonger, thank you for your things." Li Fei said lightly and turned to leave.
……
Li Fei returned to the room he rented, did not look at the iron box, fell asleep, and slept until noon the next day.
The next day was Saturday, and instead of going to work, Li Fei found a restaurant for lunch.
On the restaurant's TV, a beautiful presenter is broadcasting the news.
"At 12:00 noon today, the reality virtual game "Sanctuary", which was developed by hundreds of scientists of the United Nations for ten years, was officially launched.
This game is built with the world's most advanced reality virtual technology, which can make people experience the realism of the game 100%, and is the world's first reality virtual game.
Players have a high degree of freedom and can do whatever they want, with little difference from the real world. And there are no laws in the game world, as long as you are strong enough, you can become the king of it.
The high-level NPCs use artificial intelligence technology and possess the same intelligence as humans.
The more advanced the NPC, the higher the degree of freedom and the less constrained it is by the system. Players can communicate freely with high-level NPCs, and it is no longer the story dialogue in traditional online games.
The first batch of game terminals in Huaxia was represented by Tenglong Game Company, and only 10 million were sold, each priced at 59,999 yuan. ”
The news also shows what the first gaming terminals look like, which are a beautiful palm-sized iron box with the word Sanctuary engraved on the surface.
Isn't this the box from last night?
When Li Fei saw this news, he was ecstatic in his heart, and quickly took out the iron box in his trouser pocket.
Take a closer look at the iron box in your hand, it is exactly the same as the iron box shown in the news.
"The second uncle who called himself this baby actually gave me a game terminal worth 59999, and it was before the official release." Li Fei was surprised.
The Sanctuary game terminal was officially released at noon today, and Li Fei got the game terminal last night.
The game terminal is worth 60,000 yuan, and Li Fei only earns 1,500 yuan a month when he works at the Century Hotel, and he can only afford it if he works for four years without eating or drinking.
"It's only been half an hour now, and five million Sanctuary game terminals have been sold, and at this rate, they will be sold out in another half an hour." The news host of the TV set introduced.
Sanctuary is the world's first realistic virtual game, which allows people to experience the reality of the virtual game world, so it has attracted the attention of gamers.
Li Fei didn't pay much attention to the game circle before, so he didn't know about the game Sanctuary.
He was now carrying such a valuable thing in his arms, and he was afraid of being robbed, so he immediately returned to his rented house after eating.
Close the door.
Li Fei looked at the Sanctuary game terminal on the table with burning eyes, ecstatic.
"If you sell this game terminal, you will definitely be able to sell it for a lot of money."
Li Fei is thinking about selling the game terminal for money, but he can't sell it now, and he has to sell it in a few days.
The Sanctuary Game Terminal sold five million units in half an hour, and it was extremely popular.
Some local tyrant players can't buy the Sanctuary game terminal, and they will definitely pay a high price to buy it. If you sell it in a few days, you can sell it for a higher price.
Sure enough, in the next few days.
The whole country and even the world are boiling because of this epoch-making game.
The news media forum Tieba was swiped by this game, and the price of the game terminal on the black market soared, rising to nearly 100,000 yuan.
Li Fei still held the game terminal and did not make a move, looking forward to a further increase in the price of the black market.
