085 A Dream of the Tang Dynasty
Xia Zhengyu is a 16-year-old stevedore, and his body is not strong.
said that he was a stevedore, but in fact, in addition to loading and unloading, he was willing to do any dirty work, as long as he could make money.
With money, you can fill your stomach, you don't have to look at the face of the charter wife, and you can afford the expensive virtual network fee......
And only when you put on VR glasses and use neural access to devote yourself to the virtual network world...... Xia Zhengyu can feel that he is truly alive!
The enjoyment that you can't get in reality is available in the virtual network, and it's cheaper.
But today, Xia Zhengyu is rare that he did not go out to work, but shrunk into his home that is so simple that it seems to be a waterproof tent.
He gritted his teeth and paid an extra week's rent to the charter wife, and in the tent, he also stockpiled a full ten days' worth of drinking water and cheap food puree.
And all this is to be able to make a big profit in the virtual game masterpiece "Datang" that will be launched today!
In the past week, the promotion of the game has been overwhelming, and it is difficult to see the high-profile promotional videos on the exterior walls of the buildings.
In the first week of the game's open beta, everyone can get rewards based on the duration of the game as long as they keep the game online and play as a randomly assigned role by the system.
Every hour, that's 30 tokens! After deducting sleep and eating, drinking, Xia Zhengyu is confident that he will stay online for seventeen or eighteen hours a day, which means that he can get more than 500 universal coins every day!
That's almost ten times his daily wage for handling and unloading!
Not to mention, judging from the promotional video, players have the opportunity to discover the secret treasures of immortals, heaven and earth spiritual materials, demons and strange things, gold and silver deposits in the game...... Once these things are found, they can be sold to the big people in the Misty Region and make a lot of money.
For this huge amount of money, Xia Zhengyu fought hard and made all the preparations for himself, to devote himself to the game, and he was a little soldier who was majestic and high-spirited as if he was going to the battlefield.
Looking at the countdown of the electronic bracelet, he slowly and solemnly put on the VR glasses.
Meanwhile.
Today, the streets and alleys of the entire Lower Ten Districts are much less crowded than usual, and they are empty like a ruined city...... I don't know how many poor people have put on VR eyes, virtual headsets and other models of neural access devices, intending to get a piece of the pie.
[Entering the world of "Datang"......]
With such a line of text, countless people in the game opened their eyes and looked at everything around them in amazement.
The system has set their identities for them, including the people of the rich human city, the little two in the restaurant, the bookkeeper in the shop, and the farmer in the farmland......
But there is still a group of people, but they are dressed in armor, standing on the battlefield strewn with corpses.
Xia Zhengyu appeared on such a bloody battlefield.
"Kill, kill, kill—"
"Those who retreat will be summarily executed!"
A burly general, covered in blood, rode a big horse, brandished the weapon in his hand, and roared loudly.
Xia Zhengyu didn't react, he was thrown to the ground by a half-human, half-wolf giant beast that rushed out of nowhere, tearing his throat in an instant, the sharp pain made him convulse all over, his eyes turned black for a while, and he swallowed his breath after a while.
The world was spinning in front of him, and Xia Zhengyu returned to the original interface, and in the darkness, only a line of text was seen.
[Entering the world of "Datang"......]
A moment later, he was born on the battlefield again, and this time he was a skinny alien with black hair! Before he could take two steps, he was overtaken by a silver-armored knight riding a tall horse, stabbed his sword in the back of the heart, and vomited blood and fell to the ground.
It was dark again......
And so on and so forth.
In just half an hour, Xia Zhengyu played no less than ten roles, and all of them were tragic. Either the "melons and vegetables" who were cut and chopped on the battlefield, or the people who were burned, killed, and plundered, and the people who were played with by the eunuchs...... The best time was just to be born as a shopkeeper, survived for ten minutes, and then was accidentally injured and killed by two good hands who did not agree with each other.
Despite every death, it is painful.
But Xia Zhengyu stubbornly remembered that he was earning universal coins, no matter what he did, as long as the game was online and the time was enough, he could exchange money!
So I'm still gritting my teeth and holding on.
————
Three days later.
Somewhere hidden in Dream Weaving City, a huge space full of cobwebs.
This space is dark and quiet, and even the temperature seems to be close to freezing...... Countless bright and bright handmade carpets, fabrics, and embroidery are hung on the spider webs in all directions, and at a glance, there are no less than tens of millions of pieces, like an exhibition hall.
And directly below all the cobwebs, there is a giant web that is far bigger than all the cobwebs! In the center of the giant net was a huge black shadow that was ten stories high.
The lower body of the black shadow is a round body covered with fluff, and eight pitch-black slender knife feet are overlapping at random. Each blade foot is like a towering tree.
And the upper body of the black shadow, curvaceous, is a huge woman's body.
Due to the dim light, I couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, but I could see that she was holding a spindle in her hand, knitting something at random, and humming an inexplicable melody in her mouth.
Suddenly, she stopped what she was doing, and looked to the right side of her body.
There, there was a stone hanging corridor that stretched from the edge of the space to her neighborhood.
There were a few small black dots in the hallway, and those were human beings.
The first one, shrouded in a black-robed cloak with a cobweb-like white pattern on the surface, holds a strange scepter in his hand......
And behind the black-robed cloak were four people who were richly dressed and had smooth skin, and they looked pampered.
Two men and two women.
"Lord, the four behind me are members of the board of directors of Montnets." A deep voice came from the black cloak, "They say, there is a gift for you." ”
The huge half-spider woman, her abdomen contracted slightly, and in her navel, there seemed to be a sharp voice from another world.
The black-cloaked man listened intently, and after a moment nodded to the four behind him:
"Give your gifts."
One of the men hurriedly took out a silver-white sphere.
The huge half-spider woman hissed again.
"What is this? The Lord said that you do not like to be disturbed, and if the gift is not what He likes, you will not be able to get out of here alive. ”
Several people showed panicked expressions and knelt down in unison, and one of the women took a deep breath, beat her spirit, and explained softly:
"I heard that the gods like to weave webs and dreams, especially dreams of mythical grandiose epics."
"Montnets has sharpened its sword for ten years and created the game "Datang"...... With the virtual network as the network, and the spiritual fluctuations of countless human beings as the dream, reproduce a once glorious human dynasty! The immortals pointed the way, asked for immortality, the demons of the Quartet, the iron cavalry battled, and the corpses were all over the field...... These can be found in dreams. ”
"This prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty turned into a dream, and it was dedicated to the god as a gift from Montnets. I hope the Lord will be satisfied......"
The black-robed man was silent and looked at the huge figure.
Suddenly, a spider silk shot out, pulling the silver-white sphere directly, and the huge half-spider woman opened her mouth directly and took the silver ball in her mouth.
After a few moments, there was a hiss again.
The black-robed man nodded, turned around, and looked down at the four kneeling on the ground.
"The Lord loved this dream...... You, Montnets, have won the favor of the Lord, and the Lord has allowed you to ...... A thousand places for the Rite of Grace. ”
The faces of the four were ecstatic.
