Chapter 2: Invitation to Dead Friends

Login control device: 8000 yuan!

In the official website mall, the price marked on the black square helmet made Li Xu speechless for a while.

In his account, he now only has a pitiful few hundred yuan, which is still his living expenses for the next few days.

Looking at the control helmet worth eight thousand oceans, Li Xu sighed helplessly, with his current conditions, he couldn't afford to consume such a luxurious thing no matter what.

Forget it, it seems that there is still no chance, and when you make enough money, you will consider buying a helmet to enter the game.

Li Xu turned off the computer, stood up with some loss in his heart, and prepared to get some dinner to fill his already hungry stomach.

"Master, master, that fool is calling again."

At this moment, the ringtone of his mobile phone suddenly rang in his pocket

At this time, who else will contact you?

Li Xu suspiciously took out a long-outdated smartphone from his pocket, and saw the caller contact displayed on it: Zhang Dacang

Zhang Dacang, whose real name is Zhang Xiaolei, is a classmate in Li Xu's university, a roommate in the same dormitory, and one of his few friends.

The three guys in the same dormitory with him are all fanatical online game enthusiasts, and they have gathered together in the third year of college, leveling up and slashing monsters crazy every night, teaming up to play dungeons together, and being chased and killed together

The three-year friendship was forced to be terminated because the dormitory was closed because of graduation, and they have not been in touch for almost a few months since Li Xu moved out to live in this small rental house.

The reason is that Li Xu can't find a job, and these three guys have a good family background, and they all seem to have something to do.

The only self-esteem made him ashamed to contact the three sworn friends, and he never took the initiative to call.

"Cannon, what's the matter with me?" Li Xu asked with a smile.

"I said that you kid is really not interesting, you won't contact us when you move out, you have to take the initiative to call you." Zhang Xiaolei's familiar voice scolded with a smile.

"During this time, I was busy renting a house and looking for a job, I was about to get tired, and I ate and slept as soon as I got home, so how could I think of anything else." Li Xu explained helplessly.

"You're still in W City, have you found a job now?" Zhang Xiaolei asked in surprise.

"There's nowhere to go, I can only stay here, the job hasn't been settled yet, I plan to go out tomorrow to find out, how are you, do the horses and the rice bucket have any contact with you?" Li Xu said helplessly.

Ma Er and Fan Bucket are the nicknames of the other two roommates in the dormitory, one is called Ma Lotian and the other is Fan Peng, the other two members of their four-person party.

These three people are Li Xu's only three friends so far, and they are also his close friends who have accompanied him through three years of dull days.

"They're fine, we haven't looked for a job, we're going to move in two days, and since you haven't found a job now, just go back to the team." Zhang Xiaolei said with a smile.

"I'm dizzy, you're not looking for a job?" Li Xu was frightened by his words.

The family background of these three guys is not something he can compare, Zhang Xiaolei's parents are said to be local tyrants, and when he was in college, he bought him an apartment in the city and let him move out to live alone, but this guy is righteous and reluctant to have three dead friends, so he has been staying in the dormitory.

The other two families are middle-class, and they are basically not short of money, and they often help Li Xu, and they will also help him buy equipment in the game to enhance the strength of the team of four

What's more, in this kind of third-rate university, the school is not strict, so that the four of them live a very comfortable life, so they stay in the dormitory and do not leave, and wait until the school opens after graduation, and then reluctantly leave the warm nest

"What kind of job are you looking for, come here, be with your brothers, and we will create brilliance again." Zhang Xiaolei said.

"What are you going to do, start your own company?" Li Xu asked excitedly.

He was worried about finding a job, but this was a pie falling from the sky, and he was suddenly excited

"Kaimao company, have you forgotten jì, you will start the service the day after tomorrow." Zhang Xiaolei reminded.

"Oh no, are you going to continue playing the game?" Li Xu asked in surprise.

"Add ten points to the correct answer, haven't you also understood this game, the currency exchange huàn system is on, we can make a little money in the game at will, it is not much easier than the hard work." Zhang Xiaolei said with a smile.

"Come on, just a few of you, it's okay if you don't spend money on equipment, and you still expect to make money?" Li Xu said speechlessly.

"This time is different, brother is going to invest in troubled times and build a small studio, now it depends on the situation in the game, as an old classmate, I approve you to become the fourth member of my cannon studio." Zhang Xiaolei said with a smile.

"Are you playing for real, and the two of them agreed?" Li Xu asked in surprise.

"Of course, the studio will eat and live, and pay wages according to benefits, brother, let's work together." Zhang Xiaolei said.

"Deal, but I can't afford a helmet, what do you think you need me to do?" Li Xu said excitedly.

The road to heaven is endless, he is worried about the problem of eating and working, and now he is fascinated by the advertisements of the troubled times, and when he doesn't know what to do, Zhang Xiaolei's phone call makes him see hope.

Even if you don't have a salary, you can eat and live, and most importantly, be able to access the game

"Sample, brother guessed that you were about to run out of ammunition, but I just want to know when you will be willing to ask for help." Zhang Xiaolei scolded with a smile.

"No way, I owe you so much, I'm too embarrassed to speak." Li Xu said with a wry smile.

"Forget it, don't say anything, now your first task is to help the studio buy four helmets, and I will transfer the purchase money to your account immediately." Zhang Xiaolei said with a smile.

"Okay, I'm sure I'll get the job done." Li Xu replied excitedly.

"The horses and rice bucket are still working with the family, and they should be able to arrive before the start of the service, and we will reunite together then." Zhang Xiaolei said.

He has always been the boss of the four sworn friends, and he is also the meal ticket and sponsor of the other three sworn friends, and now as soon as he opens his mouth to call for it, he immediately gets the full support of the three depressed guys

"Got it, as soon as your money arrives, I'll order the helmet online." Li Xu said happily.

"That's it, I'm still abroad, and I've worked hard for you in this matter." Zhang Xiaolei said.

After ending the phone call with his classmates, Li Xu stood up excitedly and walked around the rental room

For him, it was completely like a dream, and he still couldn't believe that he could still encounter such a good thing.

Zhang Xiaolei is very clear about his personality, this guy wanted to be a professional gamer when he was in college, so that he could not only enjoy the thrill of playing games, but also have a career of his own.

It's just that Li Xu couldn't believe it, he said that he could actually do it, and he took a fancy to the opportunity to open the server in troubled times, and wanted to really set up a small online game studio.

Drip, drip, drip

At this moment, the text message on the mobile phone sounded, and Li Xu hurriedly took the mobile phone and checked the text message on it.

This is a balance change information sent after the bank card is bound, which clearly shows that a sum of 40,000 yuan for the purchase of helmets has arrived.

Li Xu, who was excited, quickly sat back in front of the computer, clicked on the mall and began to place an order

Two days have passed, and it has come to the last night of the server.

Li Xu didn't do anything in the past two days, and while waiting for Zhang Xiaolei and the other two friends to rush back, he had been studying all the relevant information.

Although the game information is still blocked by the official, Li Xu still paid attention to the official background.

This virtual simulation game is jointly developed by the five countries with the most developed virtual electronic technology in the world today, and in order to test the stability of this game, the developer has secretly sealed the beta for two years.

Until the preparation is perfect, it is finally about to be presented in front of the eyes of all players

At this moment, the spokesperson of the official brilliant technology of the troubled times declared that the gospel of online game lovers all over the world has arrived!

It's been two or three years, and since the last virtual online game God Realm was shut down, it has been delayed indefinitely, and this period of time has also become a vacuum period in the online game industry.

At that time, Li Xu was just a high school student, and he had no chance to get in touch with real virtual online games.

So for him, this holographic online game in troubled times is the first virtual world he really understands, as for what the situation is inside, he has to enter the game to understand this game, whether it can help him get rid of the bad luck that plagues him.

Tomorrow at 9 o'clock in the morning, the open beta in China will begin, and countless online game players are looking forward to it

The four helmets were also sent to Li Xu's rented hut yesterday, and now they are waiting for all three dead friends to return.

Bang bang bang!

The knock on the door after waiting for a long time sounded, and Li Xu knew that Zhang Xiaolei had come to pick him up.

"It's coming, it's coming." He quickly stood up, ran to the door and opened the door, only to see three familiar fellows standing outside the door

The handsome guy with a slender figure, long hair, wearing a famous brand, and a lazy expression on his face is the leader of the four-person team, Zhang Dacang Zhang Xiaolei.

Behind him stood two guys, both of them were more than one meter eight tall, one was wearing glasses, and he was thin, like a delicate scholar, his name was Ma Letian, the youngest of the four, and he was affectionately called Ma Er by them.

Beside the horse, there stood a big man of more than 1.9 meters, almost half a head taller than the other two, with a tower-like figure and a tiger's waist, a typical rugged man.

He is the most honest of the four, but he is also the most righteous, because of his super large appetite and his name is Fan Peng, so he is directly called a rice bucket.

"Xuzi, I haven't seen you for a long time." Zhang Xiaolei smiled and walked in the door to give him a hug......

"Brother Xu, you don't mean enough not to contact us for so long." Ma Letian punched him in the chest, smiled and stretched out his arms to hug him tightly.

"Xuzi, I didn't expect my brothers to get together again, Brother Pao is interesting enough this time." Fan Peng laughed, stretched out his thick arms, and hugged him into his arms.

"I want to contact you too, but I can't find a job, and I'm really embarrassed that I live in such a small place." Li Xu said with a smile.

He motioned for everyone to walk into the house, only to see a simple storage room converted into a rental house, and the moisture on the first floor still faintly emitted a musty smell, which couldn't help but make the three of them frown.

This kind of small house is not only humid, but the problem is that there is no place to sit, and the three of them immediately understood Li Xu's situation

"Don't say anything, my brothers will help you move things, and we'll talk about it in a new place." Zhang Xiaolei waved his hand, and the three of them immediately helped him clean up

A few simple pieces of luggage, it was very convenient to pack, and in ten minutes, four people left this simple rental house with helmet boxes and a few large bags.

Outside the door, a luxurious off-road vehicle immediately started and drove into the night
