Hope and opportunity
"This kind of person still has the face to live"
"No matter how talented you are, you're just a lost dog"
"If he comes back in the future, he will drive him away"
"Break up, I don't love you anymore"
"I'm not trash, I'm not!"
The mobile phone ringing next to the pillow rang in the room, and a man just got up from the bed and gasped to look around, sighed and said, "It's these dreams again, it's been half a year and I still haven't come out." He lowered his head and was silent for a long time, shook his head and picked up the phone, and the man just wanted to speak, and the other end of the phone said loudly.
"Hey, Ye Ziqing, look at what time it is, and you know that your kid didn't get up! Hurry up or the interview will be late, which your brother took a lot of effort to help you get. β
"Got it, Lao Du."
Hanging up the phone, Ye Ziqing saw the time at 8:20 and said, ", it's not early." Hurriedly cleaned himself up, looked at himself in the mirror when he left, patted his cheek, forced himself to smile and went out.
In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon, and Ye Ziqing sat alone on the side of the street, staring at the busy streets, as if he did not exist in this world.
"Don't say your name." A man of the same age, with a thick appearance and short hair, sat directly next to Ye Ziqing and said.
"You came, you didn't even pay attention. It's okay, I'm used to it anyway. Ye Ziqing said lonely: "This time I still live up to your expectations, and my family will put a lot of pressure on you." β
"What's the matter, what was your brother Du Fei afraid of, why didn't you say this when you were a child, when you were a child, I don't know what you look like? Besides, I just can't get used to seeing my old man like that. After speaking, he put his shoulder on his shoulder and said: "Don't think about it, since it happened, it happened, don't be depressed, if you have a stutter from me, you will drink a mouthful of soup." β
"I just didn't expect to be the only one who accompanied me to the end, I once thought that there would be many people left around, but unfortunately it was still too naΓ―ve." Ye Ziqing looked up at the sky, his heart was extremely uncomfortable, and his eyes were already moist. Suddenly, Du Fei slapped Ye Ziqing on the back.
"What are you talking about, what is this? Originally, there was no distinction between you and mine, and when I was a child, I also received a lot of help from your family, and Aunt Yao's matter will be investigated. β
"Hopefully." Ye Ziqing knows very well in his heart that this is just a hope, but unfortunately the reality will not even give you hope.
Du Fei stood up and patted the ash on his buttocks.
"Let's go, I'll take you there, I'll treat you."
"I'm going to trouble you again."
Ye Ziqing also stood up, trying to keep the corners of his mouth up and keep a smile.
"Okay, what do you say, let's go quickly!"
Du Fei took Ye Ziqing's shoulder and walked towards the bustling street.
In the evening, Ye Ziqing walked alone on the street after saying goodbye to Du Fei, walking aimlessly on the street, constantly recalling all kinds of past events in his mind: his mother mysteriously disappeared, then the company went bankrupt, his father committed suicide, the old man in the family also died because he couldn't stand this series of blows, his friends and relatives also looked at him like a plague god, and finally even the person he loved and trusted the most left. If I say my name outside, and others treat me like garbage, is the world really intolerant of me?
Ye Ziqing walked to the center of the square with his head down and shouting countless times in his heart, and suddenly his ears rang.
"Want a new life? Want a new life? Welcome to this new world, the first fully immersive virtual reality game in the 'Hidden World', where you can regain control of your life....."
The promotion of the game advertisement was still repeated in his ears, but Ye Ziqing only had the sentence in his mind to regain control of his life, he knew that the game could not subvert his life, but that sentence pierced into his desperate heart like a bayonet.
Ye Ziqing looked up at the huge projection advertisement, and secretly said in his heart: Re-...... Mastered? Maybe that's the thread of hope, but even then I want to reach out and hold on.
Back at home, Ye Ziqing stared at his mobile phone and frantically searched for all the information about the Hidden World, and finally Ye Ziqing leaned directly against the sofa and sighed and looked at the ceiling in disappointment. "The world's first immersive virtual reality game, the world of swords and sorcery, is almost exactly like the real world. Let's not talk about whether I will play this type of game.,Just say that the price of this virtual machine is too expensive.,Head-mounted virtual machine 30W,It's a little difficult for me to eat now.,It's barely more than 20,000 pieces of the whole body.,The most important thing is that the game will be launched tomorrow afternoon.γ β
Ye Ziqing was confused and thought: Could it be that God really wants to kill me? Why don't you ask Du Fei what he can do. Ye Ziqing looked at the mobile phone and hesitated for a while, but still dialed Du Fei's phone.
"That old Du asked you something, you... You... You know that game, don't you? β
"Which one?"
Ye Ziqing was silent and did not speak.
"Huh? Wait, you won't say that, do you know how expensive that thing is, it's not easy to get my hands on it for months, even if I have the money, I can't buy it now, and it's going to be on service tomorrow afternoon. β
Ye Ziqing didn't know what to say, and thought to himself: Maybe he is destined to be lost, and he will live like this for the rest of his life.
"That's ...... or not"
Before Ye Ziqing finished speaking, Du Fei spoke first: "That old Ye, if you really want to get it, I happen to have one, and I'll send it to you tomorrow." Don't say anything more, hang up, go to sleep! β
Before Ye Ziqing could react, the phone had hung up, and at this moment Ye Ziqing was silently crying, lowering his head, holding his forehead with his right hand, and repeating the sentence "Thank you, Lao Du." β
After holding it for a while, he wiped away the tears from his eyes, looked at the many boxes piled up on the left side of the sofa and muttered, "Those are the boxes left by my mother before she disappeared, I haven't opened them yet." Ye Ziqing slowly stood up and said in his heart: I'm sorry, Mom. In case there is something valuable, please don't blame me, because I don't want to owe Lao Du any more. After Ye Ziqing finished speaking, he began to open one box after another, rummaging through them. β
"Finally found a few pieces of jewelry."
Ye Ziqing said to himself, then rummaged through his pocket, took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time.
"It's not early, it's 2 o'clock in the morning, and I still have two boxes to finish and go to bed." When I started to tidy up the boxes again, and when I picked up the last box.
"Why is this so light, such a big box feels like nothing"
After shaking it a few times, Ye Ziqing didn't hear any sound, and looked at the box seal that was unconventional, not as messy as the box seal in front. Ye Ziqing didn't care, picked up the scissors to cut the glue strip on it, flipped through the cardboard, and saw a black box protected by multiple anti-drop cotton and air cushions.
Ye Ziqing first wondered and then rummaged around with this black box, but he didn't see where there was a button, so he put the box on the table and pondered it, thinking: It won't be voice-controlled, although voice-activated is common in this era, but the surface of this box is smooth but does not reflect any light, even if there is this material box in this world, it is very expensive, and if it is really left by my mother, why didn't I leave it before? What is a password?
Ye Ziqing's mind was already in a mess, and he began to grope for the black box in his hand again, looking east and west, touching up and down, but he didn't know that his fingerprint had triggered the voice system of this mysterious box a few minutes ago.
"No matter, if it doesn't work, I'll go find a hammer and smash it open."
"The password is wrong, there are two more chances, and when the opportunity is exhausted, it will be destroyed directly."
"What?" Ye Ziqing directly widened his eyes and shouted incredulously.
"If the password is wrong, there is another chance, and when the opportunity is exhausted, it will be destroyed directly."
After hearing this, Ye Ziqing directly covered his mouth with his hand, at a loss, and thought: What is this, I just need to speak? There's only one more chance!
At this time, Ye Ziqing only gritted his teeth anxiously, and after thinking calmly for a while, he thought: If this is what my mother left me, I can only think of this, just bet once! Ye Ziqing took a deep breath.
"Ye Ziqing!"
After saying this, the house fell into a deathly silence, and Ye Ziqing also looked at the box with anger.
"The password is correct, and the opening is successful."
Ye Ziqing, who breathed a long sigh of relief, thought to himself: "Sure enough, you will still think of me, mother." β
The box opened slowly, and Ye Ziqing also saw the mysterious thing protected by the box, and suddenly Ye Ziqing wondered: Isn't this a head-mounted virtual machine? How can my mother have this thing, no, this thing was only recently released and my mother has been missing for almost 2 years, and there is no difference from the headset on sale, except that the color is different, and the number 97 was found on the side of the virtual machine, and I don't know what it means.
"It's a lot of puzzles, maybe this thing has something to do with my mother's disappearance." Ye Ziqing shook his head.
"It's better to prepare to wash and sleep, and wait for Lao Du to come tomorrow," after speaking, he got up and cleaned up the house.
Ye Ziqing, who arrived in the bedroom, put the virtual machine on the bed table, Ye Ziqing, who was on the bed, twisted his head and kept looking at the head-mounted virtual head machine on the bed table thoughtfully, and finally smiled indifferently, maybe he thought of beauty, or it could be because his mother left it to him, or it could be because there were too many puzzles to laugh at himself, but it didn't take long for Ye Ziqing to fall asleep deeply.
That night, on the 118th floor of a palatial building, a man in his 50s in a suit and leather shoes smoked a cigar with his back against a cowhide chair, and a large floor-to-ceiling window in front of him, disdainfully overlooking the night view outside the window.
"Hasn't that stinky woman said it yet?"
"Yes, Father. However, it has been arranged as long as it is found that whoever is going to die, and only one testing machine can turn over any tricks. Behind the old man, there was a well-dressed man at the table, and said respectfully.
The old man slowly put down the cigarette and sneered: "That's good, what's the news of her son?" β
"He interviewed again today, but it's still the same old rule."
"Did you find his residence?"
The man didn't speak, the old man motioned for his son to go out, and after the man walked into the elevator door at the end of the office, the old man slowly turned to the table in front of him, opened the drawer and took out several files, all of which were all information about Ye Ziqing's family without exception, and took a hard puff of cigars.
"See how long you can hold out?"
