The hot summer is coming, and due to the global greenhouse effect, high temperatures above 38° are already common. The rapid development of the global economy and science and technology has brought about the destruction of various ecological balances.

Although the world has invested a lot of high-tech products and a lot of human and financial resources to alleviate this damage, it only prolongs the life of the planet. Many places around the world have been strictly prohibited from entering, and habitable areas have been uniformly classified according to S, A, B, C, and D.

However, this summer, there was a special "heat wave" that swept the world - the first holographic online game "Shocking" global simultaneous open beta......

In an ordinary commercial and residential building, the west-facing side room, room 703. A big old electric fan, whirring hot air. A barefoot and shirtless guy in big pants walked around in front of the fan: "Dig a slot, why haven't you sent it yet?" The open beta starts in 15 minutes. ”

At the same time, on the first floor of this building, a man in a courier uniform hurriedly picked up a cardboard box and rushed upstairs: "Ma B broke the car, dropped the chain at the critical moment, and turned around to unload you!" Trench, no elevator ......"

At the Asian headquarters of the "Shocking" game, everything is running in a tense and orderly manner. A large countdown on the light screen in the lobby heralds the dawn of a new era of gaming.

Behind the screen, in a room on the second floor, there is a large trendy desk, and many small cells are displayed on the wall around the desk, all of which are counting down time. In the middle leather sofa, a man in a straight suit and black sunglasses sits sitting. In front of the desk, a staff member wearing a "shocking" uniform reported his work respectfully.

"Director, the sabotage of the ATU97 warehouse has been investigated, 40 sets of 41 sets have been recovered, and there is another set, and the special search team can only arrive at the location in 15 minutes, according to the data flow feedback, it has not yet been activated."

"Why?" The director asked coldly.

"Because, because the high temperature air pressure has affected the particle teleportation and positioning system, there is a C-class area, and the teleportation deviation is 3 degrees, and it needs to be recharged." The debriefer was visibly terrified.

"It's the B suit that leaked?"

"Yes, the last batch of B sets that were rushed last month. The number is ATU97#009#22157768. ”

"Alright, you go down."

"Yes, Director." ……

"Director." A small screen rose up next to the desk, and the people inside the screen were also very respectful waiting for the director to give them orders.

"How long will it take for the particle teleportation charge to complete?"

"15 minutes and 23 seconds, Director."

The mouth under the black sunglasses moved twice, as if he was saying those two words but did not pronounce them.

He turned off the comms and stood up. Pressing a button on the wrist wheel of the left hand, a blue and white beam of light shot out from the wrist wheel and shot onto a light screen opposite, on the screen, a red-haired, blue-eyed man with a big cigar in his mouth, took off the cigar and spit out a circle of smoke, and asked lazily: "What's wrong?" Xu"

"President, there was a little accident,...... the director, surnamed Xu, reported the matter very respectfully.

The man on the screen took another puff of his cigar, plucked his ear with the little finger of his left hand, and looked very impatient: "It's really not simple, if it weren't for the last hand to carry out the program self-test, I don't know how big a loophole will be." After three hours, the self-test program is completed, and Superbrain Shimmer will be launched, and the game program management will be fully taken over, and the game will be safe at that time. The entire compensation set that was recovered, and the rest of the set, well, I give you the authority to destroy it immediately. ”

"Yes, President." ……

On the other hand, let's talk about the unlucky guy in big pants - his name is Ah Tun, and he is a complete dick man, he quit his job for this game he has loved for a long time, and he has been studying it for more than half a month, ready to do something at the beginning of the game.

It turned out that I received the game's connection helmet 8 minutes before the game started the open beta, but fortunately the device is not complicated, and the appearance looks like an old-fashioned moped safety helmet, that is, there are two more connecting cables in the back, one connecting to the network and one to connect to the power supply.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the game began public beta, and the world was launched simultaneously, and tens of thousands of players logged in to the game at the same time to create game characters......

At the Asian headquarters of "Shocking", a huge number on the big screen is increasing wildly, 100,000 ...... Million...... One hundred million...... Billion...... After 5 minutes, when this number increased to 2.8 billion, the frequency of beats slowly slowed down, and after 3 minutes, the global number of online players exceeded the 3 billion mark......

Unlike other games, it stipulates that legal citizens must be at least 15 years old before they can create a game account and bind the system through their ID number. Moreover, after the account is created, the world's most advanced remote plasma replicator will copy a holographic character exactly like you for you and match you.

Of course, this is the effect of the B set worth ¥5,000. There is also a set of A worth ¥100,000, which can be copied with a special customization program that can be modified within 5% of the body, such as changing height, arm length (melee class dominance), or chest/department......

At 9 o'clock, Ah Tun couldn't wait to connect to the game, turn on the helmet function, enter the game, everything in front of him became deep and dark, and a soft female voice said: "Welcome to the earth-shattering, respected adventurer, what do you call it?" ”

"Atun!"

"Ding~ Registration successful! Welcome to the world of Heaven, Dear Atun! Now you will enter the plasma replication stage, please wait for a while. ”

There were many light green lights around him, and a green figure was gradually forming on the opposite side. As long as this green figure is matched and overlaps with himself, he can enter the game after choosing a class, and Atun is looking forward to it......

"External loader detected, no response program, danger unknown, is it loaded?"

How to create an account character and the basic operation of the game Atun has long been familiar with it, but there is no mention of this external program on the official website? Could it be that I hit the official gift package of the big luck? Whether it's true or not, any problems with the game can also be claimed from the game party through legal means, so there is no need to be so entangled.

"Yes."

The command is confirmed, and the program is loading...... Please choose your class, you can choose your favorite class from the following 5 classes, which are Warrior, Thief, Mage, Priest, Hunter...... Alert! Alert! The program terminated unexpectedly, the program terminated unexpectedly, disconnecting. The external program is loaded, the instruction is confirmed, and it is being executed...... According to the latest directives, according to your body's genes, match the profession, and determine the priest's ......"
