Chapter 559: The Game Begins
"How is that possible?!"
Klein exclaimed, and he raised the index and middle fingers of his right hand straight up, and then waved them straight down.
This is the action of calling out the game's "home screen window", and after this action is completed, a rectangular pop-up window with a purple glow immediately appears in front of Klein at the same time as the bell-like effect sounds.
"Unexpectedly!! Not really! ”
Klein screamed like crazy, this guy has been very outgoing so far, as if he is really a character who belongs to the anime world, and he has a strong sense of substitution, so he can only say that this kind of person is really happy.
"What's going on? Why is there no button to log out?"
Klein looked at Kirito suspiciously, as if he wanted to consult the closed beta player, and Kirito also frowned, and he used the same action to open the main interface.
"No buttons? How is this possible to change positions? Look carefully, it shouldn't be, it's obviously here. ”
On the left side of the elongated rectangular window in the starting state, there are several menu logos, and on the right, there are humanoid silhouettes showing the status of your items and equipment.
At the bottom of the menu on the left, there should be an eye-catching "LOGOUT" button, which is a button to break away from this world, and the design is easy to find.
"I really can't find it, believe me, I've searched it all."
Ling Ze watched Kirito and Klein rummage unrelentingly, he casually found a stone and sat down easily.
"How could such a thing happen..."
Kirito was a little unrelenting, he sighed and muttered, he knocked on the upper left corner of his window, the open inventory to the right of the button to return to the start menu closed smoothly, the window returned to the starting state, and many blank equipment puppet patterns emerged, and the menu tabs were neatly arranged on the left hand side, he had already rummaged around, and there was indeed no logout key.
"It's impossible, during the closed beta, no, when I logged in at one o'clock this afternoon, the logout button was really there, I have the impression, why did it disappear completely now?"
Kirito stared at the blank space for a few seconds, then slowly looked at the menu label from the top again, and after confirming that the position of the button had not changed, he raised his gaze to Ling Ze, who had just said "There was no logout button from the beginning".
“......”
Ling Ze was a little confused, things were a little different from what he thought.
"Did you still have a logout button in the first place? But I really didn't come in from the beginning, maybe I came in late? I'VE SENT A BUG REPORT TO THE GM AND HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANY FEEDBACK UNTIL NOW. ”
Ling Ze's brain turned, he suddenly understood something, he didn't log out the button, maybe it was a ghost made by the system on his side, and it had nothing to do with the game "SwordArtOnline", not a ghost made by Kayaba Jinghiko.
"Because today is the first day of the game's official launch, it is indeed possible that this kind of bug will occur, and now the GM special frequency should have been stuffed with various report information, and the game company may have been about to cry."
Klein calmed down, he found the right reason, if everything was in order, there was nothing wrong with his thoughts, after all, it was normal for games to have bugs, especially if they had just launched.
"It's a shame that you can still be so leisurely, didn't you just say that you asked the pizza shop to deliver pizza at half past five?"
After the initial surprise, Kirito was not too flustered, and I have to say that in the current legal society, these modern people's sense of crisis is indeed not strong.
"Ahh It's 26 points now! How am I going to go offline?! Ling Ze! Hasn't the GM heard back to you yet?! ”
Klein's eyes widened and he jumped up, and then ran to Ling Ze, who was sitting next to him, and asked, the corners of Kirito's mouth couldn't help but rise, obviously happy with Klein.
"Oops! Oops! What about my anchovy pizza and ginger ale! ”
Klein's howl of pain made Ling Ze a little embarrassed, what kind of strange food did this guy order?
"You can also go to the GM special frequency to complain and see, maybe you can go offline directly from the system, if Ling Ze appeals, there is no way to deal with your side, you can only wait until the BUG is fixed together."
Kirito also walked over, and he suggested to Klein, who was in a hurry.
"I've tried, but there is no response at all, ahhhh It's already 5:28! Kirito! Expert! Isn't there any other way to go offline? ”
Klein said with his hands outstretched in embarrassment, and Ling Ze also shook his head, saying that he had not received any response from the GM so far, and of course he had not received a response, because he had not bothered to complain about that matter at all.
The smile on Kirito's face froze, and an inexplicable uneasiness caressed his back, making him feel a chill, Ling Ze narrowed his eyes, this child was indeed sharp enough, but it was useless to react.
"If you want to log out..."
Kirito tried to calm down, muttering while thinking, the three of them currently only Ling Ze knew the truth, Kirito faintly felt a little bad, and Klein was just very anxious because the takeaway was coming.
"To get out of this imaginary world and go back to your room in the real world, just open the main window and press the logout button, then press the YES button that pops up on the right, it's really easy, but I don't know any other way."
Kirito shook his head slowly, since he said so, it means that there is indeed no method that players know, this guy has at least carefully studied the manual, which is already stronger than most people.
"Wait for the announcement or GM notification, this is obviously not something that players can control, and it is useless for us to be in a hurry."
Ling Ze patted the stone and motioned to the two of them to sit down and wait, jumping to their feet in a hurry couldn't solve any problems.
Kirito sat next to Ling Ze, but Klein didn't give up, maybe because of the takeaway.
"How is that possible! There must be some other way!"
Klein began to be funny, and he yelled while making strange movements:
"Go back! Log off! Disengage! ”
Naturally, nothing happened, because "SwordArtOnline" was not loaded with this voice command function at all, and there was no record of any emergency disconnection method in the manual, and Klein was doing useless work.
"That's too much! This kind of BUG shouldn't be too bad, right?! There is no way to return to your room and body according to your own will, this is simply a huge bug that is enough to make the game company go out of business! ”
Klein, who failed in his attempt, showed a very frustrated expression, as if he had accepted his fate, he gave up the idea of leaving the game to go out to get takeout, and turned to face Ling Ze and Kirito's exaggerated shouting, what he said actually made Kirito and Ling Ze empathize, this kind of thing is really exaggerated, very unreasonable, but it is an ironclad fact.
"A good game, you have to play it like this."
Ling Ze sighed with emotion, Kirito also sighed, but the two of them sighed, obviously not the same thing.
"And now... We're just waiting for them to fix the bug, or someone in the real world helps us unplug the helmet, right? ”
Klein asked in a somewhat dazed tone, Kirito had already introduced the characteristics of the "NERvGear" helmet to them just now, because the signal of body movement was directly cut off, and they obviously couldn't take off the helmet by themselves.
Kirito nodded and agreed with what Klein said.
"But I'm living alone, what about you?"
Klein decided to find something to talk about, and he was actually a little panicked, because it was so weird.
Ling Ze has been reporting bugs since he came in at one o'clock in the afternoon, but he hasn't received any reply yet, and this bug hasn't been fixed in any way.
"I live with my mom and sister, there are three of them, so if I don't leave the game at mealtime, they should come over and help me take off my helmet."
Kirito replied with a slight hesitation, and then both he and Klein looked at Ling Ze, waiting for Ling Ze's answer.
The character that Klein pinched is actually still a little handsome, with a tough samurai face, and Kirito's ordinariness is just ordinary in the game, and it is also very handsome in normal people.
But compared with Ling Ze, the two of them are worse, Ling Ze's appearance is still very handsome, and Klein also asked Ling Ze for the data of the character model.
"I also live as a family, wife, son, and daughter."
Ling Ze replied in general terms, he really couldn't go into too much detail, otherwise he would be guaranteed to frighten these two guys.
"Oh? Unexpectedly, Ling Ze, you turned out to be a winner in life! ”
Klein sighed, he didn't even ask how old Kirito's sister was, he was very envious of Ling Ze's state.
has children and a wife, but Ling Ze can still have plenty of time to indulge in games, isn't this a winner in life?
"It's really enviable."
Kirito couldn't help but say a word, Ling Ze glanced at him, this guy may not know that his future life is actually a life that is envied by everyone.
"By the way, Kirito, how old is your sister?"
Klein changed his words, and finally went around to Kirito's sister, as a single dog, and he didn't know how old Kirito was, he made a joke as a matter of course, in fact, it was also to ease the atmosphere.
"It's already this time, and you're still in the mood to think about these things, don't you feel that something is wrong?"
Kirito looked helpless, obviously a little embarrassed.
"As I said just now, this kind of thing happens when you can't log out, but it's a big problem for the survival of the game in the future, in this case, the game company should stop the server no matter what, and then force all players to disconnect, but, if it's like Ling Ze said, this bug has been discovered since the beginning of logging into the game, and now four or five hours have passed, and the game company doesn't even have a relevant announcement, it's really strange, can't they take a collective vacation, right?"
Kirito voiced his worries, which made Klein stop laughing, and his face turned serious as well.
"ARGUS, the developer and operator of SwordArtOnline, is known for being a game manufacturer that values the rights of players, right? It's because they've always been trustworthy, so even if it's the first time to launch this kind of online game, people are still willing to snap it up, but it's a self-defeating sign to make such a big problem on the first day. ”
Klein also expressed his uneasiness, feeling that with the usual style of the "ARGUS" company, this kind of thing should never happen, which is really too weird.
"Maybe we did cross over, maybe not? Or maybe we're stuck in the game, and only the three of us can't log out or get in touch with the GM. ”
Ling Ze made a joke, but this made Klein and Kirito shiver at the same time, and they looked at Ling Ze with a look of genuine thinking about the possibility of such a thing.
"Don't take it seriously, it's just a joke."
Ling Ze smiled, he estimated that it was time for Kayaba Jinghiko to come out and introduce the rules of the game, it was almost time.
The virtual faces of Kirishi and Klein looked at each other, and at the same time sighed in a low voice, not knowing whether to relax or rejoice or be disappointed, in short, the mood was very complicated.
"Why don't you enjoy the view, maybe someone will solve the problem later, you can't really let us people be trapped in this world, right? The first batch was 10,000 people, so it was really a big event. ”
Ling Ze appeased the two of them, he had the leisure to enjoy the beautiful scenery, anyway, the soldiers came to block it, and the water came to cover it.
The passage of time and the four seasons system of "Ayn Grant" have evolved according to the real world, so it has just entered winter just like the real world.
Ling Ze took a deep breath of the dry and cold air, and moved his gaze upwards while feeling the cold air in his lungs.
Hundreds of meters away, the bottom of the second layer is shrouded in a purple mist, and if you look along its uneven plane, you can see a huge tower on the other side, which is where the "labyrinth area", the passage to the upper level, is located.
At this time, the time was already more than half past five, Ling Ze and the three of them looked up at the sky dyed red by the setting sun, the oblique sunlight made the vast grassland shine with golden light, this scenery was indeed too beautiful to speak, but the hearts of Kiriren and Klein were covered with a layer of haze.
Suddenly, "Jingle Bell! Jingling! The bell rang, as if it was an alarm, Kirito and Klein were both startled, but the corners of Ling Ze's mouth rose slightly.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
"It's finally coming."
The reactions of the three people were different, but their bodies were all surrounded by a blue pillar of light, through which Ling Ze looked out, only to see that the scenery of the grassland was fading.
