"Welcome to the world of the Book of Revelation." A strange voice rang out. In the neural simulation game pod, there will be a prompt like this every time you log in to a successful sub-game, but this one's voice is particularly yin and yang.
Lu Yu opened his eyes and looked at the unusually simple landing hall in front of him. It was a four-square-meter room with four white walls, with a closed door on each of the four walls, on which were written "Participate in the Game", "Shopping Mall", "Meeting Room" and "Not Open Yet". He reached out and tried to pull it, but the "not open" door really couldn't be opened.
"What do you mean by 'not open yet'! If it's not open, you don't show this door, so if only that! Now it looks like it cares more! Lu Yu couldn't help but complain.
On the wall to the right of the door of the "Participate in the Game" room, there is a human-high mirror, and Lu Yu can see his complete character image from it. The self in the mirror is still the image set in the center of the game cabin before, with a height of 1.8 meters, a well-proportioned figure, and wearing a common T-shirt, jeans, and sneaker suit. The character's face has a subtle resemblance to Lu Yu in reality, both of which give people an ordinary feeling, and the only thing that can be regarded as a little distinctive is the messy natural roll and the dead fish eyes under the bangs. Lu Yu combed his hair in front of the mirror, turned his face and whispered, "Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror~~"
Of course, the mirror didn't speak suddenly.
There was nothing else in the room other than this mirror. Compared to the ornate landing halls of other large games, this is more like a rough room that has just been delivered.
"But I was surprised that there was such a setting as the landing hall." Lu Yu thought to himself.
He originally judged by the size of the data package at the time of downloading, this thing called "Apocalypse Country" should be a small game with a single theme, that is, the setting is concise and clear, and as soon as you enter, you will go straight to the topic, and if you go all out, you can clear the level in a few hours to a day or two. I didn't expect this thing to come with a landing hall, which is something that only those comprehensive large-scale games need to equip.
"It's quite ambitious, this is a hint that more content will be launched in the future and develop into a comprehensive ******." Lu Yu muttered, raised his hand and moved his fingers a few times, brought up the menu, and looked at the personal information first. The basic information of the player in this neural simulation game cabin is common to all games, so Lu Yu directly skipped the first few lines and looked at the proprietary information of this game.

"There's combat content like fighting, but there's no data on attack and defense? Or can you only see it when you enter a specific game? This kind of thing that should be tied to the level can only be seen in every game, which means that it is not a fixed value? I don't understand the nature of this game anymore, is it really comprehensive? Lu Yu thought with his chin propped up. The corner of his eyes swept over the green bar in the lower corner of his field of vision, and he said to himself, "If it's a reference to a fighting game, this should be something similar to a blood bar, don't you give a specific value?" Usually the game will also set things like individual emergy to restrict the player's actions, is it also invisible here? ”
But what he cares about the most is really this thing called "survival points".
"I've never heard of this name, is this the health in this game?" Lu Yu couldn't help but complain, "It's only three points of blood!" Wouldn't you die if you touched it? How difficult this game is! ”
If it was Lu Yu's hair small, and that Wei Simeng was present, he would definitely run into the door of "participating in the game" regardless of 3721, so he would have fun. But people like Lu Yu with a bit of thinking obsessive-compulsive disorder have to study the game setting, first construct the game content they will encounter in their minds, and then go to the game to see if they think correctly.
In reality, Lu Yu has also repeatedly caused dissatisfaction among his friends because of this obsessive-compulsive thinking tendency. Everyone went to watch a movie together, and he would look at the poster at the door for a while, and try to spell out the plot and character identities little by little according to the various details above, and then spoil it to everyone. When we ate together, he would grab the bill before checking out, and just when everyone thought he was going to pay it, he just glanced at it and quickly mentally calculated the numbers, and then put the bill back. When the mood is good, the product will even preemptively report the total number after the waiter clicks the calculator, and show a smug expression. In short, there is one thing that so many friends say about him.
Lu Yu, this guy, is annoying.
This style was also brought to the game by him. When the neural simulation game pod first became popular, a few of their best friends got their hands on the machine together and participated in the closed beta of the most terrifying game at the time, Cursed 21. However, the first generation of neural simulation game capsules were not as advanced in terms of functionality as they are now, and early developers were not adapted to the new platform, which caused a lot of small bugs in Cursed 21 that did not affect the normal game. And when everyone is experiencing the immersive horror brought by neural simulation in the game, only Lu Yu is running around with a big grin, finding out the bugs hidden in every corner one by one, which is even more professional than the testers hired by the game company itself. Thanks to him, after a few of them teamed up, they were often brought into various backstage convenient passages by Lu Yu, or they could inexplicably get a bunch of bonus items in a flash of light, and it was indeed a lot more convenient to clear the customs, but there was not much sense of horror left in this process at all.
Getting back to the point, Lu Yu stood in the landing hall and pondered the problem of the game setting, and then looked at the doors.
According to his habit, he definitely didn't want to just participate in the game like this, so he opened the door that said "conference room".
"That's too much of a contrast!"
As soon as he opened the door, Lu Yu couldn't help but complain. Completely opposite to the landing hall of the rough room, this so-called meeting room is completely modeled after a six-star business hotel. The area of the entire conference room is at least twenty or thirty times that of the landing "large" hall, and in the middle is a high-end and high-grade mahogany large conference round table, which is equipped with all kinds of high-end equipment that can only be seen in international conferences on TV, and around it is a leather sitting and lying chair with a suspension function. Lu Yu couldn't help but jump on one of them and try to lie down, the touch was really beyond imagination, and the design that could manually control the suspension movement made him even more enjoyable. According to the game's instructions, the meeting room is mainly used to exchange feelings or discuss tactics with other players, and if the host sends an invitation and the guest clicks agree, they will be teleported to this meeting room.
After trying the conference room, Lu Yu opened the door of the shopping mall again. This time it wasn't much different from what he had imagined. The so-called shopping mall is really a small room that can only accommodate one person. Directly opposite the entrance to the room are several vending machines, each marked with a category of weapons, armor, consumables, etc. Lu Yu took a look, and any cheap piece of equipment in it was either a few thousand or tens of thousands, and the better ones were directly counted as 100,000 million. The consumables are relatively good, but the cheapest small stamina recovery agent also costs 100 yuan, which is only enough to buy a bottle with the game currency that Lu Yu has now.
"It seems that we can only hope to treasure from here." Lu Yu turned his head to look at the wall next to him. There is a full-length LCD screen with items that have recently been auctioned off. Probably because the game has just opened, the player level at this time should not be high, and there is nothing surplus to put on the auction floor, so there is nothing on it except for the categories shown. But according to Lu Yu's speculation, as long as a few days later, the first batch of players should have eliminated equipment that can be put up for auction, and there should be no shortage of good things that are far more cost-effective than those in the store, it just depends on whether they have patience and luck.
"Okay, let's say a thousand things and ten thousand, you still have to enter the game to actually play to know how."
Lu Yu walked out of the shopping mall with a muttering to himself, and now he hadn't opened it yet, only the last door was left.
"Please, don't let me down."
Lu Yu thought to himself, and reached out and grabbed the handle. Before he could turn his strength, suddenly there seemed to be an electric current coming from the handle, Lu Yu's whole body was suddenly paralyzed, and the world around him also turned into darkness at the same time.
A female voice came faintly in the void ahead:
【The game is about to start......】
