〈1 • The Other Side of Nothing〉
Blue Ephemeris: March 31, 2017 AD
Scarlet Yalu - Great Celestial Empire - H City - Competitive Game Center - Main Entrance of the Fourth Venue
The legendary island runner-up, who had just experienced a strange power outage, walked out of the door of the competitive gaming center in shock.
He wondered why he always felt wrong.
I tried to remember, but I couldn't remember anything. It's as if the memory of that part of the power outage has been erased.
At this moment, screams of terror erupted from the crowd.
"Ahh XX guy killed! Run, everybody! ”
Before the third runner-up could react, he was pushed to the ground by the crowd that was frantically squeezing back.
In the face of the crazy crowd, he had no power to resist, so he could only shrink his body into a ball and get as close to the wall as possible, while avoiding the kicks of the crowd and avoiding being trampled to death and injury as much as possible.
On the other side, I don't know that from that corner came a mustache with a black hat.
Looking at the dense crowd that was frightened into a lump by a few XX guys with fake knives, the little man showed a sacred smile.
I saw that he took out a black object from his trench coat, and after shouting an'la'hu'a'ke'ba, he threw the unknown object in his hand into the middle of the crowd.
Bang! The unknown object made a loud noise, and the sad third runner-up was sent to the west by a reactionary group with high-explosive TNT in the sound of BOOM. (Manual Funny)
Before he died, Ji Jun's classmate did not recall his life in an instant as the legend says.
Therefore, as the author of this book, I have an obligation to help him recall the past.
…
The third runner-up's real name is Zhao Wuwei
Male, Han nationality, born on 1990.01.26
As the name suggests, he was an ordinary, inactive person until he was twenty-four years old.
His parents had many disasters in their lives, but they were fortunate to have a son in their later years, so they were named "Wu Wei" in order to ensure their safe life.
In this inaction, the former is calm and healthy, and the latter is like God's help.
……
One day, Zhao Wuwei, who had already cooked all kinds of entertainment projects, looked at his phone boredly.
Ding dong! A new push message appears at the top of the phone screen.
[So-and-so endorsement, the sister chapter of the most popular urban construction game COC is here!] ] - a certain mobile phone assistant
Because of his shyness, Zhao Wuwei has never liked to play online games, so he has never played COC.
Originally, Zhao Wuwei refused, just because it was really boring, and in the end he clicked on the push, he wanted to see what this so-called [most popular urban construction game] was.
…
After the first contact with BB, Zhao Wuwei was completely addicted to this drug-like game in the early stage.
In order to ensure online stability and sufficient traffic, Zhao Wuwei reluctantly opened a high-traffic package, for which part of the daily food expenses were reduced.
Later in the game, BB begins to show its flaws.
Leisure is unintentional, and the attack is always wiped out because of the technical scum, and finally the technique is practiced, but he falls into an endless fatigue circle, and Zhao Wuwei almost runs out of gasoline because of this.
In order to maintain his passion for BB, Zhao Wuwei set himself a goal, the first goal in his life, a goal that attempts to prove himself.
Occupy the first place on the leaderboard and become the king of BB gilding.
However, Zhao Wuwei, who entered the pit late, upgraded slowly, and had average technology. It is simply nonsense to want to become the king under the white curtain of pure friends trading in the Celestial Empire without spending money on the power of one person.
After several failed attempts to reach the top, Zhao Wuwei decided to accumulate reserves, endure for a year or two, and then become king in one fell swoop.
…
Two years later, the story of three legendary players is circulating on the legendary island.
The King of Operations, the King of Prophecy, and the King of the Most Mysterious of Data.
The King of Data, legend has it that he has a super computing ability, and he can calculate the best attack plan no matter how tightly the opponent's base is defended.
Even though his methods are sometimes hilarious and sometimes even unintelligible, he is always able to destroy his enemies perfectly, even when the countdown is at the last second.
No one knows who he is or where he comes from. People only know that since he became famous, he has never made a mistake.
Yes, never made a mistake.
Some good netizens have studied his battle process, and the results are:
Although his operation is very average, it can be said that there is no technical beauty.
However, his fights are definitely the most accurate, time-saving, and efficient.
Every shell, every guidance, accurate to almost perfect, impeccable perfection.
……
"Hahahaha! I finally made it! ”
Zhao Wuwei, who was holding a second-hand broken tablet, cried with joy, for this day, he endured it for nearly two years.
For more than a year, day after day, research, research, and research, attack, attack, attack, attack
Finally, Zhao Wuwei has developed a pair of "fiery eyes", and now it is not only about BB-related content.
Others, as long as he knows specific data, within his knowledge, he can easily calculate the results.
……
Ding dong! The broken tablet beeps.
"Huh? Shouldn't there be anything coming soon? Maybe it's some kind of spam advertising. ”
"Damn, don't look at it, it's itchy in my heart."
Zhao Wuwei, who was resting, was woken up by the prompt sound, and under the influence of the "bowing party" attribute, he picked up the tablet.
"Legendary Island Tournament? The champion will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan! ”
"Interesting, this one has to be attended."
"Hehe, Brother Zhao, I'm going to become a public figure too!"
……
The day of the third-place knockout round.
"Haha, boom! Beat it easy! ”
Zhao Wuwei was very proud in his heart, and he won easily.
On the host stage, the host is announcing the finalists and the third runner-up.
"In today's competition, our No. 1 and No. 2 players lived up to expectations and advanced to the championship finals."
"And the dark horse of this competition, Mr. Zhao Wuwei unfortunately lost the election and became the third runner-up of the first King Championship on the legendary island."
On the street, Zhao Wuwei, who was dazed, walked in despair.
His heart was very lonely, and he couldn't figure out that he had defeated his opponent in the most perfect way.
Why did he still lose, it was unbelievable, even though the opponent was only a second ahead of him.
Because he didn't know that his opponent was the legendary Emperor of Prophecy.
This is also Zhao Wuwei's bad luck, if his opponent in the first game is fourth.
Perhaps, he will be the one to win the championship.
——————————————————
In a city that radiates a lot of brilliance, a strange shop looks mysterious in the dark of night next to a street that no one cares about.
At this moment, a mysterious man in a bright blue uniform walked from the darkness to the mysterious shop.
The mysterious man opened the door and was able to peek into the interior of the shop.
From the outside, it looks like a small shop, but inside it is a unique one.
After following the mysterious man through the door, the first thing he saw was a man lying on the sofa, and before he could see the man's face clearly, the man suddenly trembled all over, and then woke up leisurely.
"Ahh My head hurts! ”
Hearing the voice, he took a closer look at the man, and found that the man was actually the unlucky guy who was killed by BOOM just now, Zhao Wuwei's classmate.
——————————————————
"I'll go! Why is the screen black again. ”
Zhao Wuwei, who was sleepy-eyed, glanced at the small book next to him, and after being stunned for a moment, he subconsciously slid the mouse.
"What the hell! Stuck again? ”
Zhao Wuwei fiddled with the mouse twice, only to see that the screen turned blue and turned black in an instant, and there was no response.
"Sure enough, it's okay to play with the low-profile picture quality of this 4,000-yuan configuration, but the high-end effect is still a little worse."
After waiting for a while, seeing that the computer still didn't respond, Zhao Wuwei decided to force the shutdown and restart. Doing so can hurt your computer's performance, but it's okay to keep waiting.
If it's okay to brush simoleons with the acceleration mode on, it's okay, but if you stare at the black screen like this and don't do anything, it won't kill him. The time of the bowing party is extremely precious, and not a minute can be wasted!
"Well..."
Just as Zhao Wuwei was about to restart the computer, his eyes suddenly went black, followed by a nausea that swirled around the world.
After a while, "Zhao Wuwei" slowly opened his eyes.
"Where is this? Who am I? What am I doing? ”
"Zhao Wuwei's" mind seemed to be swept by a flood at this time, countless memory fragments were like a surging river, and the only trace of consciousness he was awake could only send out some vague thoughts.
Eventually, a powerful stream of data triggers the brain's self-defense mechanisms.
With a bang, a bag immediately appeared on Zhao Wuwei's head, and he himself was completely unconscious.
…
Following.
After a night of restful sleep, Zhao Wuwei woke up unusually.
The first time I touched the computer, I touched the toothpaste and toothbrush that I had almost never used, and I was about to put it aside, but I came to the bathroom, and I brushed my teeth and washed my face resistantly and comfortably.
The small satisfaction seemed to make him give up resistance, turn around and turn on the computer again.
"Huh? No power! WT? ”
pressed it twice and didn't respond, the first time Zhao Wuwei thought it was a quick time to let go, although he didn't think it should be, but he still pressed it again, this time it was a countdown press.
The computer still didn't respond, Zhao Wuwei glanced at the power light, it was dark. He looked all the way down the power cord, MMP, and sure enough, the plug was brought down.
Zhao Wuwei picked up the plug and aimed it at the small hole and inserted it, but he thought in his heart that there was nothing wrong with En.
I looked at the power indication again, but there was still no response.
Then he tossed vigorously for a long time, and finally determined that the problem was on the computer in the scolding of the old man next door.
Once the problem is identified, the next step is to solve it.
Take out the after-sales service guide and find the regional service number. Just as he was about to pull out the dick, his eyes flickered, and then he muttered to himself.
"I think I should have breakfast first."
"What's that?"
"I felt hungry and wanted to eat."
"Eat, it's in the cabinet next to it, why go to the kitchen."
"I'll see."
"This is a clam? Big Hama bubble noodles? ”
"Yes, it's instant noodles."
"How is it possible, impossible, it is impossible to eat instant noodles again in this life, I can accept the bald head and clear water noodles, but the instant noodles are not good!"
Foodie, have the faith and dignity of foodie!
"Only instant noodles love to eat or not, don't eat and pull down!"
"The glory of foodies, never succumb to the evil forces!"
"Then order takeout, remember to order a large amount. It's called now, and it should be delivered before one o'clock at noon. ”
“WT?”
"Hurry up, eat instant noodles without shouting, I've been tossing for so long, and I'm a little hungry."
"If you don't have anything to eat at home, then I can't go out to eat, idiot!"
"Who are you talking idiot?! Go out for a yarn, as an aspiring house, how can you go out casually? Except for the necessary work, Ah Zhai will never go out! ”
"Just you? Still ambitious? ”
"What's wrong! Got an opinion?! ”
"Hey, I really have an opinion, it's quite big!"
……
After some encouraging "disputes", the powerful attribute of the foodie finally defeated the cowering Otaku attribute.
After tidying up and bringing his guy and wallet, Zhao Wuwei embarked on his road to "glory".
At the door of the cheap apartment, Zhao Wuwei scolded and walked towards the parking apron.
"I didn't buy a watch last year! The 30th floor! Oh my god, no wonder TM doesn't want to go out! ”
"Blame ( ̄▽ ̄) me."
"No, I must have the best breakfast to soothe my wounded heart."
Zhao Wuwei made all kinds of exaggerated expressions, and at the same time used strange language and various tones to talk to himself, so unhappy.
But the passers-by on the side didn't have any good eyes, and they were even so frightened that they shook their hands and drove out of the backyard fence and out of the street.
Zhao Wuwei didn't pay attention to these ordinary people, but talked to himself and continued to walk towards his car.
"Come back, are the cars here cheap?"
"It's not cheap, it's all over the street, don't drive it with money!"
"I'm stuck, this car was stolen?"
"Hey, how is that possible? I'm an aspiring otaku, how could I be reduced to stealing! ”
"And where did this car come from?"
"Of course it's me...... Ahem, as a fake Semipalatinsk steppe citizen of the most basic citizen welfare. ”
"Citizen welfare? I'll go, and this kind of good thing, God is pitiful, why don't I have such a good life. ”
"How can there be such a simple thing, the car does not cost money, but there are a lot of related taxes, and it is simply not wanted, although these are already in the past."
"Past tense? Don't have these benefits anymore? ”
"The city government is bankrupt, there has been no new mayor for almost three years, and the whole city is in shambles."
"The rich people have all moved away, and almost only us are the low-level citizens who have no skills and no money. Not to mention taxes, if the mayor does not take office this year, the city will be completely judged as a "ruined city" by the regional governor. ”
"Abandoned city?"
"It's an unmanaged, abandoned city. In the event of a water and electricity cut-off, all public institutions will be removed, and all citizens of the city will have their citizenship records cancelled and become displaced people. ”
"I'll go, and this kind of operation."
"Of course, there is such an operation, this is an absolutely free world, and no one can interfere with the free choice between the free people and the free city."
I don't know if it was because I couldn't answer the phone or because I was about to get in the car, Zhao Wuwei stopped asking and answering himself for a short time.
With the roar of the engine, Zhao Wuwei drove onto the road.
Zhao Wuwei lives in a remote low-level residential area, and it's not too early now, and there are no cars on the road, so... Zhao Wuwei began to talk to himself again.
"I said, you haven't told me your name yet. Who the hell are you and why did you come to my head? ”
"Me? I'm a player, but I prefer to be called a player. As for my name? It's just a code name, so I won't mention it. ”
"As for why it's in your head? I can't remember, I was in a daze, I always felt that something was wrong, but I habitually brushed my teeth and washed my face first to deal with other things, and I didn't react. ”
"If you don't tell me your name, what do I call you? I can't call you all the time. As for those messy things, don't worry about it, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. ”
"In this case, let me introduce myself first, my surname is Zhao Wuwei."
"Hey! God, our names are the same, alas. ”
"Such a coincidence? I read a lot, don't fool me. ”
"It's no good to fool you, stop dreaming. Kindness... Since it's the same name, then you can call me No. 3. It's my lucky number, it means so much to me that it's a great name. ”
"Since you like it, then it's up to you, anyway, it's just a code name, and liking is the most important thing."
…
I don't know if it's because there's no topic or if they're thinking about their own things, but it's suddenly cold anyway.
But as the saying goes, the most afraid of the sudden silence of the air must not be good.
Sure enough, as their car was about to reach an intersection, a violent explosion occurred in the middle of the road.
BOOM!
The sound of braking and the various sounds of impact came and went, and No. 3, who had never seen such a scene, was the first to speak.
"! Shenma situation (=゚Д゚=)"
"It's nothing, it's just a terrorist attack, don't make a fuss. Maybe it's a car bomb, it's a lot of courage. ”
Zhao Wuwei responded very calmly, he saw that the fork in the road could still walk, and drove towards that side.
"There's no fuss about a terrorist attack?"
Zhao Wuwei was not panicked, No. 3 was not so calm, he had been living in a small city, where had he seen this kind of scene in person. Car BOOM, this is going to kill someone, what a joke.
"Why, haven't seen anything like this? To tell you the truth, I've seen anything more exciting than this, and this can only be regarded as a basic operation, drizzle. ”
In fact, this is just Zhao Wuwei's casual bragging, but unfortunately No. 3 doesn't know. So Zhao Wuwei changed his otaku nature and began his great career of serious nonsense.
No. 3 listened silently for a while, although Zhao Wuwei said that the head was the way, but No. 3 did not come for nothing, the cowhide was blown so big, and he was not afraid of blowing it, but No. 3 was not broken, and continued to listen quietly to Zhao Wuwei pretending to be XX.
Zhao Wuwei is also very powerful, the more he talks, the more energetic he becomes, and he almost didn't scare other people's cars, not at all like a house that stays at home all day when he has nothing to do.
Thanks to the reminder of No. 3 just now, I didn't make waves for others, otherwise I am afraid that I can't really eat this breakfast today, and No. 3, who is not at ease, asks to take over the control of the body and let Zhao Wuwei play to his heart's content.
Zhao Wuwei didn't ask No. 3 if he could drive, but he quickly handed over control and continued to make up stories crazily, and the more he made it up, the more outrageous it became, what kind of biochemical attacks, dinosaurs, alien robots, and some messy No. 3 didn't understand at all.
After a chaotic operation, the car stopped in the middle of the road smoothly, and No. 3 hesitantly interrupted Zhao Wuwei's impromptu speech.
"Uh... How did you drive this car, why can't I understand it at all? Where are the pedals? ”
Zhao Wuwei, who was interrupted, was stunned for a moment, and then said quietly.
"You don't know how to drive? Then why did you just say that you should come? ”
No. 3 immediately retorted: "How do I know that your car is different from the one I've seen before, you can't blame me." ”
Zhao Wuwei continued: "Okay, okay, blame me." No, let me do it, and pay attention to how I drove it this time. ”
No. 3 didn't reply, and returned control to Zhao Wuwei.
Zhao Wuwei took over the control and pointed to No. 3 while operating.
"Look, there's a fingerprint button here, hold it down and it will turn it on. This one here starts the car, and you have to keep holding it down to start the car. I don't see this control panel, this bar is the speed setting, slide it to adjust the speed. And these ......"
The steady passage of time is unchanged minute by minute, and the car explosion incident that occurred before caused the road to be not particularly smooth, and when it reached the vicinity of the business district, the clock had steadily missed ten o'clock.
Following the almost stagnant traffic, No. 3, who finally squeezed into the business district, scolded while driving.
"Hell, this old man who does urban planning is really nobody. All the ordinary shops are planned in a small corner, and there is not even a roadside stall to be seen along the way. ”
"Look! If you don't listen to me, it's okay to play the game safely at home, what a pity to waste a morning. ”
Zhao Wuwei didn't listen to the old man's tone, and he took a breath of anger that he had received in the apartment before.
Hearing this, No. 3 was also a little angry, so his eyes widened and he began to look for a suitable breakfast restaurant.
After staring at it for a while, there were colorful billboards and various promotional videos everywhere, and No. 3's eyes were already starting to glow.
In the middle of the clouds, No. 3's pupils shrank, and he instantly locked on to the target.
It was a noodle restaurant that didn't fit in with its surroundings, and the sign on the door was unpretentious, except for the crooked four words "Kung Fu Ramen".
"Aha! This is it, Kung Fu Ramen, I used to eat here every day. ”
No. 3 lit the turn signal and drove the car into the path next to the noodle restaurant, ready to park in the small parking apron at the back.
The environment was noisy just now, and Zhao Wuwei, who was in a trance, didn't hear clearly what No. 3 was saying. He didn't ask until Number Three drove the car in.
"I didn't hear what you just said."
So No. 3 repeated it again, as soon as he talked about kung fu ramen, Zhao Wuwei remembered the billboard he had just glanced at, and it seemed that he had never seen it before, maybe he hadn't paid attention to it before, so he didn't ask questions.
When No. 3 said that he used to eat breakfast at this shop often, Zhao Wuwei was not calm.
"What, you said you used to have breakfast at this noodle restaurant?" Zhao Wuwei deliberately accentuated his tone when he said this.
There were not a few cars parked in the backyard, and No. 3 parked the car in a corner, because it was reversing into the garage, so his attention was always focused on driving, and he didn't pay attention to Zhao Wuwei's tone.
"Is there anything wrong? As long as I'm having breakfast out, it must be this one..."
No, didn't I cross over? And this world is obviously not my original world, how can it be so coincidental that there happens to be an identical ramen restaurant? After a little thought, Three figured out what the problem was.
"It's useless to be shocked, let's go see what the situation is first, maybe it's really just a coincidence."
Zhao Wuwei gained control of his body, and he didn't even lock the car door, so he hurriedly walked to the noodle restaurant.
