Set Sail (Light Novel) Chapter 18, "The Fighter"
Yuzu just appeared out of thin air not far from Nangong, after seeing Nangong on the milky glass bench, Yuzu carried the packaging box of clothes from under the billboard, took small steps brisk and leisurely, and the mood was naturally quite happy, just like a pigeon pecking in the square, leisurely and comfortable.
Yuzu, I seem to like it here. Nangong suddenly had such an illusion, Yuzu was like growing up in the Tamir world, free, and there was no contradiction between Yuzu and the environment here.
"That's it, don't blink Nangong." A sweet smile appeared at the corner of Yuzu's mouth, and he snapped his fingers casually, and Nangong's eyes suddenly seemed to open a slide, and various styles of clothes flashed on Yuzu's body one after another.
Pink and blue suits with beige berets, black and purple long skirts, sporty style with peaked caps, beige Panama hats with goose yellow dresses, sexy and cute light blue camisole shirts, retro costumes in martial arts games, gray-blue sweaters with ultra-short jeans, and white cosplay......
"How's it going, you're pretty, aren't you? Life is to go on happily like this, na, Nangong? "Slaughtered Nangong ruthlessly. Yuzu has a childlike prank pleasure in her heart, and her eyes are looking at the sky affectionately, and there is a sudden hint of relief in her melancholy.
"Oh......" Nangong directly transitioned from unexpected surprise to surprise, and being able to see the smile on Yuzu's face, Nangong was naturally happy, but ...... His account balance. Speaking of which, Nangong himself doesn't know how much is left in his account balance, but he just hopes that he won't drop the chain at a critical moment.
Standing in front of Nangong, Yuzu kept changing clothes seamlessly, and finally chose a few satisfactory outfits.
"Yuzu...... Uh-huh. ”
"Hee Hee ......" grapefruit is still in the joy of a new shape.
Yuzu smiled and bent his eyes, Nangong also touched the back of his head and smiled a little weakly, muttering in his heart. His account was registered when he went to Qiongshan to study art when he was four years old, and as for how much money his father put into it at that time, Nangong really didn't know at all.
However, Nangong has lived in the ancient martial arts world for so many years, and he hasn't cleaned its bottom since he was a child, so it should be quite a lot...... Probably! Although it is not very useful to live in the ancient martial arts world, it is not very useful to make money.
Walking down the VC street, the two heard many passers-by discussing a game called "Fighters" passionately. The surrounding buildings also have huge game advertisements, as well as game CGs and highlights of high-level players.
Yuzu passed through the pop-up window on his chest and turned on the game sound that had been automatically blocked by the system. The moment the mute button disappears, Yuzu seems to have traveled to another colorful world in an instant. The noisy background music of the game and the sound of the game's special effects are mixed together, and they fill every eardrum of Yuzu like a carnival.
The green meadow is stretching out into the distance at the foot of the grapefruit, and the clouds in the sky instantly turn orange, and the painting style of the entire Tamir world suddenly changes. The characters in the game ads are as close as they are at your fingertips. Flashy, cool skills whizz overhead. Scenes where players fight......
Valiant swordsmen, trendy mages, wordless handsome archers lurking in the trees, strong and furious hunker berserkers, and legions of thousands of superpowers. Under the five traditional occupations, there are tens of thousands of more detailed divisions.
For example, mages: plant mages, plant summoners, animal summoners, wind, water, light, and plant healers. Water, Fire, Metal, Thunder, Light, Summoning, Earth, Wood, and Moon are the nine mage classes that have been announced.
In addition to the 12,245 classes that have been discovered by players, Tamir's official website will also reveal a hidden class that already exists but has never been discovered by players every week. As for the exact number of hidden classes in Fighter, Tamir has never revealed this in the game's press conference or other public media.
"Fighter? Is PGO not popular now? Yuzu looked at Nangong. Yuzu remembers that about ten years ago, when Jona first came into this world with her young self, it was the same as now. At that time, a game called PGO was born, and it took only a few days to take the entire world of Tamir by storm.
All the video ads on the side of the block, on the glass floor, and even on the building, were all under the rule of the PGO at that time.
(Note: PGO: Plastic gallery online. A creative game with magical effects. Packed with elements of adventure and survival. )
PGO is a memory of Yuzu when she was a child, not only Yuzu, but also Nangong. I didn't expect it to be replaced by such a fighting game.
Coronation of a new king. And what about the former king? It was a title that countless game studios could hardly surpass at the time, and that game reached a height that no other game in Tamir's virtual community had ever reached. In the era of PGO, Yuzu and Nangong will still sigh when they recall it. Even the game king PGO, which was so beautiful back then and popular all over the world, has it fallen to this point now?
"How's the PGO doing now?" Yuzu asked.
"Not good. The number of players is losing dramatically. The last time I entered the game, I couldn't see a single figure in the fourth block. ”
"Has it come to this point?" Is there no player in that thriving fourth block now? This has been ...... Is the former king about to disappear from the eyes of players completely? That PGO ......
Yuzu waved his hand from the void to tear open a glow-purple window, and his index finger tapped on the search bar on the pop-up window, and soon found the game information of the PGO.
"I'm going to check it out." Yuzu said to her own AI. An elf-like virtual creature suddenly appears out of thin air, flying around Yuzu's shoulder, and finally stops in front of Yuzu and Little Orange.
Yuzu's AI said. "I'm afraid I won't be able to do it today! Grapefruit! PGO has been testing the update of the game for some time, and according to internal sources, PGO is a big move. So they've even shut down their servers these days. ”
Yuzu is also the AI who saw this watch for the first time. There are no cool skins purchased, so this AI elf still retains its original appearance, but with a little purple on the top of its head.
"Is that so?" Yuzu thought with a chin of her head. Eyes turned to the giant advertisement. "Is this game the king of the day? It seems to be quite interesting. ”
"It's a work released by Tamir last year, and my mission in the tech world has something to do with it. There are many detailed ways to play, but we will know it by trying it out. ”
Nangong drew an acute angle pattern in the void on his chest, and immediately inquired about the relevant information about this game of fighters.
Nangong clicked the "Fighter" button. Several fluorescent blue pop-up windows instantly appeared around Nangong and Yuzu, connecting each other, and finally enveloping the two.
The next moment, both of them disappeared in place at the same time, and the blue fluorescence also escaped in the air.
……
"This game turned out to be a product of the military."
From some game news reports, Yuzu saw some special words and was surprised by it. Although I know that Tamir has a good relationship with the military, this should be the first time that the military and Tamir have cooperated in a game.
With the guidance of the navigation elf, the two immediately teleported on the spot, and the colored streamer wrapped the two, and instantly came to a strange place full of white, the sky, the earth, and the distance, all of which were white.
In the hall, blue and orange streamers are intertwined on the milky glass walls. More than a dozen straight white corridors like catwalks are so smooth that you can see the reflection of people, and they are staggered.
In the staggered empty space of the catwalk, countless wonderful game videos are hanging from top to bottom, slowly rotating in place and playing on a loop.
This place is the fifth floor of the Tamir Game Hall and can also be said to be the fifth floor of the Game Watchtower. This is also the entrance to Tamir's various game worlds, and Nangong and Yuzu, under the guidance of the navigation elves, quickly find the entrance to the fighter's game.
According to the instructions of the elf, Nangong gently placed the five fingers of his right hand on the heavy stone door carved with the logo of "Fighter", and the next moment, Nangong disappeared from the place, and the same was true of the grapefruit on the side.
The two appeared in the lobby at about the same time. The game hall has been built into a quaint town, surrounded by water, and a giant tree with golden red leaves has opened up a large green shade for the town. Friends on the chat list can meet each other in the town. Of course, if you meet someone you really hate in the real world, the system will also choose the auto-blocking feature for you in a very user-friendly way.
After Nangong sent a friend application to Yuzu, she appeared directly in her world in the next second.
The two of them had just entered the seat in the game hall, which happened to be on the magic teleportation array at the entrance of the town. Going forward, there is a gatehouse made of several large stones.
In front of me is a stone staircase of two or three steps, and the texture of the stone is densely covered with moss, and if you take a big step, you can easily cross it in one step. Stepping over the stone staircase, there is a wooden bulletin board next to Yuzu's right hand, which is less than the height of an adult, and even a small dinosaur that is only half waist tall can easily see the contents of it. The bulletin board is only the size of a desk, so it doesn't seem to be of much use. But if there is a sudden official notice of urgency, everyone will notice the situation at a glance when they enter the game.
