"Are you tired of the modern city made of steel, and want to feel the forest streams and the birds and flowers? Do you feel depressed by the constant black fog and clouds, and want to witness the endless mountains and seas? Are you troubled by illness and weakness, and want to run in the sun in good health, or even become a transcendent human in the comics? ”

"Come here, wear gold and armor to be a general, and feel the pride and ambition of the Jin Ge Iron Horse to fight on the battlefield!"

"Come here, see the unevenness of the road and be a chivalrous guest, and feel the pleasure of flying eaves and walls to break through the rivers and lakes!

"Come here, become an immortal, become a Buddha, become a demon, and feel the ultimate romance of immortality and flying into the sky!"

"The virtual world "Datang" created by Montnets gives you the most extreme gaming experience!"

Between several skyscrapers, a huge translucent virtual screen projected by the device is playing a huge advertisement of Montnets on a loop.

"Ahem, I'll tell you the truth, I used to be a street kid in the Lower Ten Districts."

The face of a thin-cheeked, short-haired young man suddenly appeared on the advertising screen: "Like many people, I don't have a stable job, and I can only barely make ends meet to earn a little money by working here and ...... around."

"When I was sick, I had no money to treat it, and I had to do manual work every day after enduring the pain...... I didn't have money to buy a gift for my girlfriend, so she broke up with me and got together with a white-collar employee with a stable salary......"

"But it wasn't until recently that I started playing Montnets' game Datang, and my life began to change drastically!"

The voice of the short-haired youth was full of incendiary energy, and his eyes were burning and shining.

"Everyone knows that the birth identity of "Datang" is random! It is undeniable that some props can increase the odds of becoming a dignitary, but ordinary people in our lower ten districts, as long as they persevere and try a few more lives, they also have a chance to be assigned a good role! And even if it's just an ordinary identity, it doesn't mean that there won't be adventures! ”

"For example, a week ago, Datang opened the service, and I was accidentally assigned to the 'farmer', I thought that I would spend my life in farming, but I didn't expect that in my own field, I actually dug up the treasure chest buried by the ancestor as an official, which was full of three hundred taels of gold! Through this, I earned my first pot of gold. ”

After that, he bought a book of internal strength secrets, got started with cultivation, and became a catcher in the local county...... There, I met my confidante! Xiaoxia, who was assigned to the role of the daughter of the prefectural order...... She is a company clerk in the Misty Zone in reality, and thanks to Datang for letting us know, now ...... She's my girlfriend now. ”

"The gold, silver and jewelry in "The Tang Dynasty" can be exchanged for universal points in reality...... I was a fast catcher in "Datang", and I earned more than many white-collar workers in reality! I've made it my mainstay now. ”

"As long as I work hard for a while, I can buy a house in the Misty District and marry Xiaoxia...... From a street kid who has nothing to a bumper harvest in love and career, I really want to thank "Datang" for giving me a life-changing opportunity. ”

The eyes of the short-haired young man seem to be hiding tears! It seems that the feelings are extremely sincere.

The picture turned again, and it changed to another middle-aged man in rags.

"There are elderly parents to support, and ignorant children to take care of, which is the helplessness that only our middle-aged people understand...... In the lower 10th district, all we can do is work hard, get up early and stay late, and exchange our physical health for money. The middle-aged man's voice was low, and he sighed, as if to express endless exhaustion.

"How many middle-aged people like me, running around for money, finally exhausted their bodies and forced to fit on mechanical prosthetics...... But since playing the virtual game "Datang", I feel like I have found a treasure! ”

"As long as you lie at home and bring a neural access device, you can wander around the world of games...... You can also work in the game, farming, iron smelting, carpentry, bricks, and ...... And it won't damage your real-life body! People like me can finally earn money to support their families while resting well. ”

"I've been working in 'Datang' for a week, and now I've become a well-known local blacksmith, and people from dozens of miles away come to me to build weapons and farm tools."

The middle-aged man said for a while, and then the picture changed again......

Countless advertisements were played on a loop in the streets and alleys of the Lower 10th District.

Montnets Company Headquarters Building.

42nd floor, huge conference room.

"What is the stats of online players after the first week of promotions?" The middle-aged man dressed in white and with black hair mixed with white silk asked indifferently.

Soon, a person in charge reported: "The number of online users has dropped by about 5%, and they are basically players in the lower ten districts, but it is still far from our estimate of a 12% decline." ”

"That estimate was originally a joke." The middle-aged man in white sneered, "The group of untouchables in the lower ten districts all dream of turning over, not to mention the 1 in 1,000 chance of being assigned a good identity, even if it is 1 in 10,000 or 1 in 100,000, they will sharpen their heads and desperately rush inside."

"Besides, there are so many delicacies cooked with original ingredients in the restaurant in the game, and there are so many cheap and beautiful prostitutes controlled by AI in the green house...... Countless enjoyments that they can't get in reality can be obtained in the game! Once they get a taste of the sweetness, even if the time bonus is canceled, they can't stop it. ”

The little person in charge smiled and nodded, "Mr. Qi is right. ”

"Next, maintain the stability of the server, optimize the identity allocation algorithm, and at the right time, still give those untouchables a little sweetness...... During this time, we must stick to these online players in the lower ten districts, and their participation is indispensable for the company's next big plan! ”

The middle-aged man in white assigned the task, and everyone quickly took their own orders and left.

The middle-aged man's gaze glanced to a seat beside him...... At the time of the meeting, the seat had been empty.

"Xiaojing......" A trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but he quickly shook his head again, his eyes changed back to indifference, and several video calls were dialed on the virtual screen at the same time.

Soon they were connected, and the appearance of four people appeared on the opposite side.

It was the four pampered people who had given the "gift" to the god Arakne!

"It's all ready, the poor people in the lower ten districts are still in the net, and not many are out of control." The middle-aged man surnamed Qi in white looked very respectful and bowed slightly.

"Okay, we're contacting other companies, and you're going to keep steady." One of the handsome men with a pale face that was almost transparent nodded, "A thousand places, you need to agree on the terms of exchange one by one, and those guys like to bargain the most...... So it's going to take at least two weeks to finalize it.

"But don't worry, in this reshuffle of interests, the company occupies the absolute initiative and will definitely make a lot of money! When it happens, you'll be rewarded as you deserve! ”

"It's up to the board." The man in white lowered his posture.
