Fifth Observation, 1024, October 8.

Drinking iced sweet milk at 11 o'clock every night and entering the tea meditation at 11:15 a.m., tonight is extremely abnormal wearing the "Exquisite Heart 20" communication watch, projecting the 'Tidal Operating System' on the dark spider screen.

However, instead of surfing the Internet, he landed on the massively multiplayer online fantasy game "Earth".

Tea Xiu is a self-disciplined person, and it is precisely because of these qualities that he has become the youngest Scourge Messenger in the Eastern Continent, although he likes fantasy games, he will not indulge in them, let alone affect his life.

But tonight is a day worthy of his exception.

Because, "Earth" is going to end its operation.

Earth is the funniest fantasy game Cha Xiu has ever played, and it's also the one Cha Xiu has played the longest.

He is almost the first batch of players of "Earth", who registered an account just after the open beta, and has played from the initial "Age of Mythology" to "Outbreak of Civilization", "Age of Discovery", "World War", and the latest version 8.0 "Information Age".

"Earth" is divided into several regions, the culture is different between the regions, the terrain is different, and even the main plot is different, in addition to the players who like to constantly change regions to experience various plots, but there are also immersive players like Cha Xiu who focus on one region - Tea Xiu especially prefers the "Pangu Region" with the same culture as the Eastern Continent, except for a few times, he almost always soaks in the Pangu Region.

Logging in to the game and choosing a character, Cha Xiu did not immediately choose to log in to the latest reincarnation character, but browsed the characters he had played with a little melancholy.

In the "Clan War" version, he was a warrior under Jiuli and followed Chiyou to fight in the Quartet, but unfortunately Jiuli lost in the camp battle;

In the version of "Mending the Sky and Saving the World", he followed Dayu to cut the sea python, and even became the leader of a small tribe, and called Dayu a vassal in Tushan;

He was once a slave soldier who fought for the king of Shang, and he was also a pawn responsible for lighting the beacon fire to help the princes of Zhou Youwang; He not only helped Guan Zhong to strengthen the Qi State, but also helped the Chen Guotian clan usurp the Qi State; He used to be a minor official of Qin, Chu, and Han, and witnessed the imperial mind of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and also witnessed the deep love of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty; He has seen the meteorite miracle of Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and has also been with Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty for decades......

He was a ranger during the Zhenguan period, he was famous in front of Donghua Gate, he once wore a flying fish costume and wore an embroidered spring knife, and he once joined the White Lotus Sect to kill officials and revolt......

"Earth" has been in operation for more than five years, and the time in the game is from 2700 BC to 2019 AD, and Cha Xiu has left countless traces in it, and there are more than 100 reincarnated characters in the Pangu region alone.

Some of them are unknown ordinary people, and some are heroes who have left indelible traces in the history of Pangu Region.

He is a well-deserved veteran of the Earth High Play.

And at 0:00 tonight, all traces will be erased, and all memories will eventually become memories.

In fact, it's not really erased, the Nether Society, which is responsible for operating the game "Earth", has publicly stated a long time ago that the data of "Earth" will be seamlessly transferred to "Earth 2", and old players only need to verify the soul code to inherit all the data of the old account.

As the most mysterious origin, the Nether Society, which is suspected to have a background of gods, naturally won the trust of players, and countless players are looking forward to the open beta of "Earth 2", and they have long stopped paying attention to "Earth".

But for some players, "Earth 2", with the theme of "From Reiki to the Sea of Stars", is far less attractive to them than "Earth", which "goes from fighting against nature to the rise of civilization".

Tea repair is this kind of player who 'doesn't love super and loves civilization'. Every time I see fragile and strong human beings, they unite and struggle for survival and profit, sacrifice themselves and spray blood to achieve epics, the brilliance of humanity and the praise of courage are the core of the game that makes Cha Xiu deeply fascinated.

As for "Earth 2", it is not the earth that Cha Xiu likes at all.

With the opening of the psionic energy system, human beings have entered the era of evolution, and their individual strength has exploded, mastering various super spells...... Cha Xiu didn't like this version at all.

It's as if who doesn't know how to spell.

He didn't know about the situation in the Western Continent, but in the Eastern Continent, any dog could breathe fire.

Adults who have completed twelve years of vocational education are almost always able to transfer to skilled spell technicians, driving large-scale production of spell equipment.

Spells are almost as essential to humans as breathing to survive.

And as the youngest natural calamity messenger in the Eastern Continent, Cha Xiu became an 'epic mage' early. What's the difference between letting an archmage continue to be a superpower in the game and letting a rich man play Monopoly board game?

Not to mention that "Earth 2" will have new races such as demons, demons, ghosts, and monsters, as well as outland demons...... This is no less than obliterating the biggest plot advantage of the game Earth: human supremacy!

The reason why Cha Xiu entered the pit "Earth" was because he was attracted by the phrase "man is the spirit of all things".

In reality, there are gods who have suppressed the world for thousands of years, and there are hundreds of ethnic struggles that have exhausted their efforts, and now there is a fantasy game of 'mortals dominate the world, and nature will eventually be defeated', and he is so obsessed with "Earth".

Cha Xiu thought that "Earth" could continue like this, and if he had the ability, he would definitely find the Nether Society to ask them not to release "Earth 2" with revival...... It's a pity that he can't do it.

To be able to launch a 'godless fantasy game' like "Earth" and still live in a good way, the power of the Nether Society is probably no less than any god system in the starry sky. And the Nether Society doesn't even have a complaint channel, and it clearly says 'love to play, don't play roll'.

"Perhaps, it's time to give up the game and focus on the Legendary Mage License exam......"

After choosing to log in to the game character "Tea Xiu", the Linglong Heart 20 watch unfolded a light blue grid to wrap Tea Xiu's whole person, and Tea Xiu felt that his vision was dark, and he entered the login reading interface:

"Soul frequencies are in tune...... 100%」

"Somatosensory Connection...... 100%」

"Welcome to Earth."

Cha Xiu opened his eyes and sat up on the bed.

The bedroom was quiet, the bright moonlight gently spread on the white porcelain floor tiles, and there seemed to be the sound of a battery car driving outside.

This four-person bed is on the bed and off the table, Cha Xiu quietly uncovered the mosquito cover and got out of bed, found a mirror from the cabinet, and sat quietly with the light of the moonlight, looking at himself in the mirror.

Three seconds later, Cha Xiu suddenly blinked mischievously when he saw 'Cha Xiu' in the mirror, and at the same time, the icon interface of the game options appeared in his field of vision.

This terrifying episode that is like 'Midnight Mirror Horror' is actually triggered by the game's menu. Because Earth is so immersive and doesn't want the internal game menus to interfere with the player's enjoyment, the various game options are only available when the player is looking in the mirror.

After all, most players will not be disturbed when looking in the mirror, and the mirror only needs to be able to reflect the mirror, copper mirror, water, eyeballs, and no matter how much you can't pee, you can also act as a mirror. This ritualistic triggering method is also quite popular among players.

However, Cha Xiu heard that it seems that many 'earthlings' have seen the screen of the player triggering the game option. Naturally, earthlings can't see the game options, they only see the player doing all sorts of incredible things in front of the mirror, causing the "Midnight Mirror" to gradually evolve into a well-known supernatural scene, which makes players laugh.

Cha Xiu focused his gaze on the "character attributes", and an illusory floating information bar appeared in his field of vision:

"Cha Xiu, 21 years old, student"

"Affiliation: Zhuyue University, Zhuyue City, Xuanguo Province"

"Physical Condition: Health"

"Marital Status: No Partner"

"Acquired Skills: Signals and Systems (Proficient), Fundamentals of Analog Electronics (Proficient), Advanced Mathematics (Proficient)...... Chinese (expert), Japanese (proficient), English (proficient), ...... Table tennis (proficient), figure skating (proficient) ......"

Earth is a game where players can be reincarnated infinitely, and every time a character dies, they start from scratch and are reincarnated in a baby eighteen years later.

Reincarnation is almost completely random, the player has no control over the process, and only a very small number of rare rewards affect reincarnation, and these rewards are not resolved until after death.

For example, if there is a character in Cha Xiu who is a small Han warlord who resisted the barbarian iron hooves during the Wuhu Rebellion, and after his death, he will receive the reincarnation reward of 'Protecting Huaxia', then his next reincarnated character will receive the life of 'Great Wealth and Wealth', which can not only be reincarnated as the son of the minister, but also ensure that he will not be affected by all diseases before the age of 30.

However, this kind of reincarnation reward rarely appears, and sometimes Cha Xiu struggles for his ideals all his life, but he becomes a villain in history, which can only be said to be not only a personal struggle, but also depends on the course of history.

But players are not completely incapable of influencing reincarnation, they can at least affect the name. The player's custom name will affect the name of the parents, like the 169 characters of Cha Xiu, all of them are called 'Cha Xiu', but most of the time they are called Chen Cha Xiu, Li Cha Xiu, and Zhu Cha Xiu......

I was lucky in this life, and my father's surname was tea, which made tea cultivation very immersive.

It's a pity that before this life is finished, "Earth" will stop operating.

Turn off the "Character Attributes", Cha Xiu opens the "Quest Interface" and sees two ongoing 'Annual Tasks': "Passing the Master's Degree Entrance Exam" and "Getting Married".

The deadline for "passing the master's entrance examination" is approaching, and there are still two months left before the examination time; The deadline for "marriage" is before the next Spring Festival - because I have to go back to my hometown to see my parents during the Spring Festival.

These 'Yearly Quests' are generated based on the player's situation, and there are only a few rewards for completing them, such as buffs such as "No Cold" and "No Dropping", but it has the advantage of detailed hints.

For example, in "Marriage", he was reminded that he should change his QQ signature and Moments signature to "Marriage, ask for a woman, live", so that it will be easier to complete the task.

If you don't know what you're supposed to do in this life, and you haven't triggered the main quest, then following the 'Yearly Quest' is not an option.

Suddenly, Cha Xiu saw the "Social Interface" icon flicker, thinking that there were still friends online at this time?

However, at the moment of opening the "Social Interface", Cha Xiu saw that all the game option icons were distorted and blurred, and finally even disappeared directly, leaving only the task interface and the social interface in his field of vision.

Something went wrong with the game? Cha Xiu was slightly surprised, the Nether Society has not had a problem with "Earth" for more than five years.

Why did the problem only go wrong when the game was closed......

Wait a minute.

Cha Xiu blinked, he didn't look at the time just now, but according to his online time and stay time, he was already very close to 0 o'clock - that is, the shutdown time of "Earth".

Turning off the task interface and social interface, Cha Xiu stared at himself in the mirror, his eyes didn't blink, and he counted silently in his heart.

After counting to 30 seconds, Cha Xiu stopped and frowned slightly.

"Ten tests, no response, can't leave."

"Unknown."

"In that case, the only thing I can do now is ......"

"Go to sleep."
