Chapter 7 You have only one year left to live

Chen Xi looked at the little flat head in white sportswear in front of him, thinking that this person was not a madman, so he hurriedly broke away from his hand and grabbed him, took a few steps back and said: "Friend, are you okay, are you drinking high or what, what you say is all nonsense!" ”

The young man took a deep breath, felt a box of cigarettes from his pocket, lit one and took a few puffs before forcing himself to calm down and said, "Friend, my name is Sun Baiyuan, and I am also a member of the Infinite Video Game City, and everyone there calls me by the nickname 'White Ape'. Next, I'm going to tell you a little bit about that arcade, and you'll know that everything I'm saying is true. ”

As he spoke, the young man named Sun Baiyuan took out his membership card from his arms, which was also amber with a gold stripe, which looked much taller than Chen Xi's bronze stripes, and he continued: "That video game city is actually a mysterious organization with incredible power, but it is just disguised as a video game city. Otherwise, do you think that kind of realistic virtual technology can really be developed by modern technology? Everyone who becomes a member will be given dozens of game points, which are almost different for everyone, but it is not a free game currency-like points, but the life span you can live in the future, in other words, every time you play the game, you will consume a year's life. ”

Chen Xi stared at the person named Sun Baiyuan in front of him with a gaze like looking at a madman: "Dude, you better go to the hospital to have a look, what you said is simply a fantasy, how can it take a year to play a game, so don't people like you who have been playing for a long time be dying?" ”

Sun Baiyuan said angrily: "You give me patience and listen!" Every time you play the game, you have to spend a game point, that is, a year's life, but you should also encounter card drawing in the game, the cards are divided into five levels: dark gold, gold, silver, bronze, and black iron. Of course, there are also saint-level cards on top of dark gold in legends, but no one has ever seen them. Bronze and black iron cards are worthless, but a few rare silver cards are worth at least one game point, gold cards are at least ten points, and dark gold can reach tens or hundreds of points. So, that's why we've been playing the game and still alive and well, and that's why that crow did everything possible to calculate the initial game points for you, a rookie rookie, and you sold your life to him. ”

He saw that Chen Xi still looked incredulous, and then said, "Okay, you take out your membership card, and I'll prove it to you now." Although Chen Xi still didn't believe it, he also raised his interest and wanted to see what else this madman named Sun Baiyuan could do, so he immediately took out his membership card.

Sun Baiyuan took it and took a brief look, then returned it to Chen Xi, and said, "You take your card, think about the use of skills in your mind, and you can throw the war hammer." ”

Chen Xi took his card suspiciously, and according to Sun Baiyuan's guidance, he thought about the use of skills in his mind, and used the war hammer to throw. Suddenly, the voice in the arcade system of the video game city sounded in his head: "Ding, the player chooses to use the skill card to throw the war hammer." ”

Immediately afterwards, Chen Xi only felt that his palm was hot, and he felt a warm current from his palm through his arm to his brain, and his mind seemed to be stuffed into a memory of exercising throwing skills out of thin air, from the strength and accuracy of the exercise, to how to control the throwing trajectory, how to use dark energy, and so on.

At this time, it was already more than one o'clock in the morning, and it was already quiet on the street, Sun Baiyuan looked left and right, and suddenly stretched out his arm, and the half of the bricks thrown in the corner of the street in the distance, as if pulled by an invisible silk thread, flew over with a "whoosh" and fell into Sun Baiyuan's hands.

"This, this is ...... Superpowers? When Chen Xi saw this scene, he almost dropped his jaw, and Sun Baiyuan didn't care whether he was surprised or not, and stuffed the bricks into Chen Xi's hand, "Come, take this, make do with the weight, and try the war hammer throwing skill over there." ”

Chen Xi looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a palm-sized small advertisement on a telephone pole more than 20 meters away in the distance, and immediately picked up the bricks, and aimed at the small advertisement with his eyes, he suddenly felt that a flash of lightning flashed in his mind, which was a picture of a soldier roaring and throwing the war hammer in his hand, and he subconsciously roared, and the bricks in his hand immediately flew out like a meteor, and accurately hit the small advertisement on the telephone pole in the distance. There was a loud bang, and the metal pole shook slightly, and the bricks were smashed into countless small pieces.

"It's ...... What did I do? Chen Xi looked at the telephone pole and was dumbfounded, the accuracy, strength, and speed of this throw, he dared to say that he could hit a person's head dozens of steps away with a hundred shots, and he could freely control the force, from only smashing the opponent out of a bag to making his brain burst.

Just when he was in shock, suddenly a sharp pain from his shoulder to his palm was transmitted to his palm, and the pain only made him squat to the ground with his arms in his arms. Sun Baiyuan sighed and walked up and gently patted Chen Xi's shoulder with his hand, and a cool feeling immediately spread from Chen Xi's shoulder, instantly relieving his severe pain,

"It's not a big deal, the muscles are a little strained, this is due to the fact that although the skills have been mastered, the strength of the flesh is far from reaching, and all cases that will cause excessive fatigue or even injury to the flesh after using the skill." Sun Baiyuan explained, "Now you understand the horror of this video game city, these cards obtained in the game are strange, there are game characters, game skills, and game props. These cards are stored in your membership card. But they are not virtual, and these game cards can be used as long as the conditions of use are met. For example, the game exercise card, after using it, you can get the exercises of the game character, of course, the specific amount of power to get depends on the quality of the card, the user's physical strength, and the fit between the user and the game character; Another example is the game skill card, after using it, you will have this skill, and the skill that can be used in the real world can also be used, of course, only the initial level of the skill, such as your war hammer throwing, only the lowest power and accuracy, and the improvement of skills in the future can only rely on your own continuous understanding and exercise; There are also game item cards, as the name suggests, you can get this item after using it, for example, you get King Arthur's sword in stone, and in reality you can also use this sword to cut everything off, and it is unstoppable. For example, if you get a piece of bread that regenerates blood, in reality you can recover from the injury if you eat the bread. ”

Chen Xi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Sun Baiyuan's words, looking at Sun Baiyuan in front of him was like looking at a prehistoric giant dinosaur, or an alien ET who fell from the sky, but everything told him that what the person in front of him said was true. He was stunned for a long time, and finally stammered: "Just, even if these are true, is my life really only one year?" This, this is too ......" he couldn't help but shudder as he spoke.

Sun Baiyuan looked at Chen Xi's frightened and helpless expression, couldn't help but sigh deeply, and said, "Since you still don't believe it, then come with me, and I'll show you the last evidence." Then he turned and walked.

Seeing this, Chen Xi hurriedly followed, and the two of them hurried all the way, the strange thing was that Sun Baiyuan, who was obviously walking in front, seemed to be moving forward slowly, but Chen Xi could only stride forward with all his strength, and in the end, he had to rely on fast running to barely keep up with Sun Baiyuan's pace. After a while, the two of them returned to the gray five-story building, and the neon sign of the infinite video game city.

Sun Baiyuan walked in first, and Chen Xi hurriedly followed, and at this moment he walked into this place again, and he was full of fear, as if the old building in front of him was a giant beast lurking in the night, or as soon as he stepped into that gate, it was like entering a demon realm that did not belong to the world. Just when he hesitated in fear, Sun Baiyuan, who had already walked to the gate, suddenly turned around and smiled with snow-white teeth: "Brother, believe me, I will definitely help you." ”

This short sentence had moistened the eyes of the panicked and helpless Chen Xi, he took a deep breath, and followed Sun Baiyuan to the gate of the video game city and walked in again.

As soon as I entered the video game city, I saw that it was still the same inside, but there were fewer people playing games. Lao Gao, who was still wearing a clown mask, and Xiao Li, a purple-haired girl, watched Sun Baiyuan walk in with Chen Xi, both of them looked happy, Lao Gao hurriedly greeted him and asked Sun Baiyuan in a low voice: "How is it, Bai Ape, this stupid boy has not been deceived, right?" ”

Sun Baiyuan glanced at Lao Gao, and replied angrily: "Hurry up and hurry up, it's still a step too late, and I was deceived by the crow so that there was only a little bit left in the card." ”

Lao Gao and Xiao Li frowned when they heard this, and Lao Gao even had an expression of eating Coptis chinensis, and both of them looked at Chen Xi with sympathetic eyes. But Chen Xi didn't react too much, because until now in his heart, he still can't completely believe what Sun Baiyuan said, let alone the so-called nonsense that a game point is a year's life. If he believes it all, I'm afraid he will hate the old Gao in front of him who pulled him into the video game city to play games.

"It seems that the rules of your source universe really need to be changed." Sun Baiyuan whispered to Lao Gao again, then beckoned to Chen Xi and said, "Brother Chen, follow me this way." ”

After that, he took Chen Xi and ignored Lao Gao and Xiaoli, and walked out directly from the back door of the video game city. As soon as he walked out of the back door, Chen Xi unbelievably found himself in another city, although it was still late at night, but the city was still brightly lit, and he was surprised to notice that the street sign on the road clearly read: Imperial Capital XX Street! Immediately afterwards, he found that a taxi slowly passing by on the side of the road had the font "Imperial Capital XX Taxi Company!" Could it be that this is the imperial capital, the imperial capital more than a thousand kilometers away from Jianghai City, where he lives!

"Sun, Brother Sun...... This is, is it the imperial capital? Chen Xi stammered and asked.

Sun Baiyuan smiled when he heard this: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, this is a benefit for senior members, in fact, that video game city is a different dimensional space, and only those who meet the requirements can see it." For example, if you are from Jianghai City, you enter the game city from Jianghai City, and I am from the imperial capital, and we enter the game city from the imperial capital, but in fact, we enter a space. A novice like you, of course, the entry and exit locations are in Jianghai City, but a veteran gamer like me, after meeting certain conditions, will add a back door, which can enter and exit the video game city at the gate of any city. It's like an 'arbitrary door'. It is precisely because of this way that the crow and I were able to find you in such a short time. By the way, the crow seems to be from the Demon Capital, and although it is close to your rivers and seas, it is also a few hundred kilometers. ”

At this moment, Chen Xi was numb by the impact of this series of adventures, nodded silently, followed Sun Baiyuan directly into the underground parking lot of a building, turned around and came to a red Land Rover SUV, and took Chen Xi into the car with a greeting.

"Now, I'll take you to see one of my brothers, and when you see him, you'll believe what I say." Sun Baiyuan sat in the driver's seat and was silent for a moment, said in a low voice, and then kicked the accelerator, and the Land Rover sped away like an arrow from the string.

The imperial capital in the middle of the night is as quiet as water, away from the hustle and bustle of the day, and there are only one or two vehicles sporadically passing on the street, and there is no congestion and boundless traffic. Land Rover galloped smoothly all the way for more than ten minutes, and came to the door of a white building, with the help of the street lamp, Chen Xi could clearly see the big red sign on the door "Imperial Capital XX Hospital".

The car drove directly into the hospital parking lot, Sun Baiyuan parked the car and took Chen Xi directly to the special care ward on the tenth floor of the hospital, it stands to reason that it is now nearly three o'clock in the morning and the visiting time has passed, but this guy doesn't know what way to go all the way unblocked, and one or two nurses on night duty who met by chance only nodded and smiled when they saw him coming, and there was no obstruction.

Entering the intensive care ward, the first thing that caught Chen Xi's eye was a person lying on the hospital bed, who was lying with his eyes closed, seemingly in a coma. This man's face looked extremely strange, his facial features were very delicate, he was a young man, but his face was gray and yellow and wrinkled, and the ravines were vertical and horizontal, like an old kraft paper that was about to be crumpled. The half-length hair was also gray and dry, scattered on the pillow.

Sun Baiyuan stood in front of the hospital bed, silently looking at the strange man lying on the bed, with a pair of eyes that were always shining, with a heavy sadness and pain at this time. After a long time, he said slowly: "His name is Ye Yunchuan, he is my good brother, a good brother who changes life and death." We grew up together in an orphanage, and we also entered the infinite video game city together by accident. Soon the two of us got together, and while we got supernatural powers, we also got a lot of wealth. In the video game city, we gathered a group of like-minded friends to constantly develop games and gain skills and game points. In real life, we live without food and clothing with supernatural skills. But the good times didn't last long, and in a game guide, I made a big mistake of underestimating the enemy, which caused our team to lose a lot of game points. In order to help everyone make up for the loss, Xiao Chuan even hid from us to gamble with others......"

"Bet?" Chen Xi was deeply attracted by Sun Baiyuan's story, and couldn't help but ask at this moment.

"The gambling point is a mode in which two players play against each other in the fighting games of God of Fighting, Soul Blade, and Fighter's Soul, and after the winner is decided, the loser loses to the winner's game point, which is also a way recognized by the system to quickly get a large number of points. Originally, winning or losing depends on his ability, and it is nothing if Xiao Chuan loses, but with his ability, he will not lose, and in the game God of Fighting, his comprehensive level is definitely ranked in the top three of the video game city. But his opponent was so despicable that before the duel, he gave Xiao Chuan a drink doped with hallucinogens......" Sun Baiyuan said this, he had closed his eyes in pain, and two lines of tears slipped silently from the corners of his eyes, and suddenly Chen Xi found that Sun Baiyuan's fists were clenched tightly, and drops of blood "ticked" from between his fingers, splashing on the white floor of the ward to form blood flowers.

"The person who gambled with Ogawa...... It's a crow! Sun Baiyuan looked back at Chen Xi suddenly, and his eyes seemed to contain endless fire of hatred.

"At that time, Ogawa bet the last fifty of our team's remaining public game points, and the crow won this game by despicable means, Ogawa chose to atone for his sins, and he fled from us after spending what little he had left on his membership card...... When we found him, it was already like this. ”

"That's what it is...... Is the game running out of points? But if you traded him for even one game point when you found him, wouldn't that be the case? ”

Sun Baiyuan shook his head with a wry smile when he heard this: "No, when the player's game point is zero, the membership card will remain for an hour, and when the time comes, the membership card will disappear naturally, and at this time, the player's body will enter a dying state of extreme aging, and he will die completely after a few hours, and we found him when Xiaochuan's membership card disappeared automatically and he entered the dying state." With modern medical conditions, coupled with the supernatural abilities and props in the video game city skill card that we mastered, we were able to barely continue Ogawa's life. However, that's all, and Ogawa's life is still passing at a very slow pace......"

Sun Baiyuan shook his head painfully, reached out and took out a photo from his arms, and handed it to Chen Xi.

Chen Xi took a look and saw the two young people standing together in the photo, smiling brightly. The person on the left has bronze skin, a pair of tiger eyes and bright eyes, it is Sun Baiyuan, and the young man on the right has fair and delicate facial features, smiling shyly, and his facial features are vaguely Xiao Chuan lying on the hospital bed.

At this moment, Chen Xi saw this series of incredible phenomena in a row, and he believed nine out of ten of Sun Baiyuan's words, and couldn't help but be frightened of the six gods, and said in a panic: "Sun, Brother Sun, I don't want to die, please save me......"

Sun Baiyuan stared at Chen Xi's panicked and helpless expression, the grief and anger in his eyes were intertwined, he nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, since I have met me today, I must take care of it to the end, and I will help you!" ”
