In Dongcheng International Company, in the office of a real ** manager, Chen Ye stood at his desk and said with a smile: "Boss, I'm here." ”

On the opposite side of the desk, Zhao Yan, the boss in Chen Ye's mouth, was immersed in studying a cutting-edge game magazine, and after hearing his voice, he raised his head, his long broken hair covered that handsome face, and his two deep eyes were full of a kind smile.

"Isn't there a few days left before college starts?" Zhao Yan asked.

"I need to go through the enrollment process early." Chen Ye scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Oh! You have worked part-time for two months and three days, and your salary is $3,150. Zhao Yan stopped at this point, and after seeing Chen Ye nodding, he continued: "You should have heard of the online game "Global Apostle". ”

Chen Ye sighed in his heart, after the college entrance examination, he came to the city where he studied in college in advance, and found a part-time job for two months, in order to raise money to buy a game helmet of "Global Apostle" before going to college, although Zhao Yan privately said that he would play this game and establish his own business kingdom in the game, but he didn't expect what he said to be true.

Just when Chen Ye was stunned, Zhao Yan took out a square box from the drawer, and the surface of the box was printed with the words 'Global Apostle Game Helmet', which was the special box for the game helmet.

"You should know the value of this gaming helmet!" Zhao Yan lay on the chair and pointed to the game helmet with his eyes and asked.

"Hmmm! There are five models of Global Apostles, two models of game warehouses, and one special game studio. This helmet should be a silver helmet that is only slightly better than an ordinary helmet in the helmet, and the price is 30,000 yuan. Chen Yejin said. He dreamed of buying a helmet of this level, but he was shy and could only buy an ordinary helmet of 3,000 yuan.

"Alright! This helmet is your salary. Zhao Yan leaned over and pushed the game helmet and said lightly.

"I can't ask for that." Chen Ye immediately vetoed, he is not a person who takes advantage of small advantages.

"There are two choices, one is to leave with a helmet, and the other is to leave empty-handed, and the two-month part-time salary is gone." Zhao Yan closed his eyes and said helplessly.

Chen Ye was stunned in place for a while, and finally lifted the game helmet and threw down a sentence: "Count you ruthless." ”

"Walk slowly, don't send." Zhao Yan said with his eyes closed.

"Thanks, boss!" Chen Ye glanced at Zhao Yan with a little meaning, and after thanking him, he turned around and left.

"Holy shit, dead leaf, not serious." Zhao Yan glanced at Chen Ye's back and muttered to himself.

......

Back to his low-rent house, Chen Ye threw the helmet on the bed, and then went to the supermarket downstairs to buy dry food for five days, and the unified instant noodles were directly brought up a box, ham sausages, dehydrated vegetables, fresh eggs, and the most important thing was that Chen Ye bought twelve bottles of large bottles of mineral water, and it was three catties and one bottle. This is also the root cause of the supermarket owner's great embarrassment, just a dozen 36-pound mineral water was directly carried by Chen Ye on his shoulder with one hand, and the other hand was carrying the packaged food, and slowly disappeared at the end of the street in the stunned eyes of everyone in the supermarket.

Chen Ye is not a professional gamer, he just wants to fulfill a dream in his heart. Everyone has a dream in their heart that guides the way forward.

And Chen Ye's dream is that indelible competitive dream, from the first time he saw CS Athletic on TV, his dream began to sprout in his heart. When he was in junior high school, Chen Ye came into contact with several online competitive games, such as Counter-Strike, Biochemical Battlefield, Global Mission, etc., but the most impressive thing about these games was that he would be forced to be kicked out by others in the middle of each battle, and the reason for kicking out was to open a game plug-in.

Maybe only a few brothers who played with Chen Ye knew whether he had opened a game plug-in or not. However, in the later period, Chen Ye's interest in this kind of competitive games began to decline sharply, and the reason for this was that the balance in the game world was broken by game plug-ins.

In the third year of high school, a hyper-virtual competitive online game called "Global Apostle" suddenly came out, and it was only two weeks before the college entrance examination. Chen Ye learned about this game from a friend, and when he heard the praise words of this game's 'super virtuality', 'no plug-ins', and 'human second world', the dream in his heart that was gradually fading was suddenly ignited, and his college entrance examination score also rose by 5 percentage points, and he was admitted to the university in his heart.

After the college entrance examination, Chen Ye left the 'devil' mountain forest and came to the university city he longed for the most, awakened the dream that was latent in his heart, and started a part-time job for that dream, raising the purchase price of the cheapest game helmet. However, two months later, Zhao Yan, the brother boss of the part-time company, seemed to see through his thoughts, and instead of paying him a salary, he was given a silver-level game helmet worth 30,000 yuan.

As the saying goes: "When things go wrong, there must be demons", Chen Ye will always remember this old saying in his heart, Zhao Yan can give him such a valuable game helmet, although he has nothing else to ask for now, but this does not mean that something will happen in the future. But Chen Ye knew that even if something happened in the future, Zhao Yan would not harm him, because of Zhao Yan's sentence 'We are brothers'.

In fact, Zhao Yan and Chen Ye are about the same age, and they are both nineteen-year-old hot-blooded young people. There will always be a lot of commonalities between peers, for example, one thing Chen Ye and Zhao Yan have in common is that they have a soft spot for competitive games. Perhaps it is this common denominator that makes the distance between Chen Ye and Zhao Yan change from the relationship between the boss and the employee to a tacit cooperation of frontline partners.

Every time Chen Ye got off work, Zhao Yan would stay in the office for the reason of inviting him to dinner, and then the two of them used the two computers in the office to play competitive online games, and when they were tired of playing, they went out for supper, and the money for each supper was not paid by Chen Ye, because he had no chance to pay at all. Over time, the relationship between the two became familiar.

After putting away a large number of pre-war materials one by one, Chen Ye picked up the helmet from the sofa, walked to the bedroom impatiently, unpacked the package, and the silver-level helmet with a pure silver streamlined texture was displayed in front of his eyes. Although Global Apostle is in open beta at twelve o'clock tonight, players can get ready for the moment of open beta by entering the feel screen and building their character a day earlier.

As soon as he entered the game, Chen Ye's vision was pitch black, and suddenly, the sound of the bell striking was heard one after another in the pitch darkness, and the sound was closed. A row of small letters slowly emerges from the top left of the black screen, October 25, 2015 AD, two years after the biochemical catastrophe.

With the end of the font, the black screen began to become brighter, and at the moment of brightness, Chen Ye found himself in mid-air, and the sound of the spiral slurry above his head was buzzing, and further judged that Chen Ye found that this was a helicopter gunship, and the model should be a Camanche-S series armed transport aircraft.

Touching the cold metal compartment and observing everything inside the helicopter, Chen Ye not only felt extremely realistic, but also found himself in the transport compartment of the gunship. At this moment, the bottom of the transportation warehouse began to decline slowly, but fortunately, Chen Ye reacted quickly and immediately leaned towards the edge, so that it was not directly emptied. At the same time, a telescope was placed in front of Chen Ye from the upper part of the transport compartment under the action of a robotic arm.

Chen Ye had seen this kind of admission picture on the Internet, so the moment the telescope appeared, he grabbed the telescope with one hand, quickly put it on his eyes, and looked towards the bottom of the hollowed-out transport compartment. Rows of high-rise buildings galloped away, Chen Ye adjusted the focus on the telescope, his vision narrowed, the dead and silent streets slowly emerged, the messy vehicles on the streets were clearly visible, the wandering corpses stood lazily all over the street, the agile mutant zombies chased a survivor, and several mutant dogs roared towards the sky. These pictures are all fleeting, but what is left for Chen Ye is a heartfelt shock, this game is a bit real.

"Apostles from across the globe, below will be your biochemical battlefield." Just when Chen Ye was immersed in the picture, suddenly the door of the transport warehouse was opened, and a soldier carrying a fire axe and a camouflage bag appeared in front of Chen Ye, with a cigar in his mouth, and said in a majestic tone.

"Are you an NPC or a player?" Chen Ye put down the binoculars, looked at the characters that suddenly appeared, and said suspiciously.

"A smart NPC with the highest AI." A touch of pride appeared on the soldier's sturdy face, and then he spat out a puff of cigarette towards Chen Ye and asked, "Rookie, tell me your name, you are the fifty million player who has entered this world." ”

Chen Ye was secretly surprised, this game has not yet been open beta, and there are 50 million players settled in, so if it is open beta, then it will be fine.

"Shu disciples!" Chen Ye stood up, smiled, and reported the name of the game he had been thinking about for two and a half months.

"Apprentice of the mutant rat!" The GI smiled, "Good name!" ”

Chen Ye's face darkened, and he just wanted to correct it, when he suddenly heard a prompt sound from the system.

"Rookie Shu apprentice, this is equipment for your newbies." The soldier threw the items in his hand in front of Chen Ye one by one and said contemptuously.

"Fire axe! There is no automatic rifle AK-47, or rather, M4. Chen Ye said with a sad face. Below is the biochemical battlefield, and the mutated creatures in it are not scary.

"TMD rookie, why is there so much nonsense, Lao Tzu still has to attract new players!" The soldier kicked Chen Ye directly into the hollowed out transport compartment, took a puff of his cigar and said fiercely. But when he was about to pick up the telescope for the player to watch the scene, he realized that the telescope had been taken by the rookie just now. "Damn, my multi-purpose telescope!"

Chen Ye, who landed in mid-air, had a happy face, and the telescope he got from the NPC was hanging around his neck. At this time, the vision began to slowly move up along the parachute line behind Chen Ye, and then rose to the top of the sail-type parachute, the top of the parachute began to gradually expand, and the four big words 'Global Apostle' became more and more obvious, and finally swept across the entire screen, and at the bottom right of the screen, the countdown to the open beta was displayed, and there were twelve hours and five minutes left.
