Juxia City.

The once bustling city has been covered with a layer of technology, the streets have been widened, large mechanical structures have risen from the ground, and the magnificent light released by high-rise buildings has almost lit up the night.

On the streets, a pioneer intelligent machine replaces the work originally carried out by people, and in the shopping mall, intelligent sales and intelligent business can be seen everywhere.

More and more people are losing their jobs due to the gradual replacement of labor by smart machines, but thanks to the federal government's mandatory resource allocation policy, everyone can enjoy sufficient social benefits, even if they do not have to work, they can also have food and clothing.

Losing a job is not a lazy thing to do under federal policy, and a new federal initiative has recently been enacted to promote the creation of virtual and real worlds.

The real world for a month, the virtual world for a year, attracts most of the unemployed population to join it.

The virtual world built by the Federation is a virtual world that is 80% real with real values, and for ordinary people, entering the virtual is entering a new environment to start another life, and the world inside is richer and more colorful.

As a result, when the pioneers became the main labor force of society, nearly more than half of the world's more than 8 billion people were completely unemployed.

A large number of unemployed people are gradually linked to the virtual world, coupled with the domination of various federal policies, the entire civilization has gradually adapted to the rhythm of rapid development.

For ordinary people, this is the status quo, after completely losing the oppressive and exploitative class, life seems to gradually lose its forward momentum, and tend to be happy and less thoughtful.

Although the alien threat is still ......

……

Zhen Li is just an ordinary problem-solver in Juxia City, who has just graduated, and before he can find a job, he is completely unemployed.

But it's not a big problem, since the federal government, he has received subsidies and benefits every month that he couldn't have imagined before, enough for him to spend all his time.

But there are no jobs, and there is no pressure from the social class, and these subsidies and benefits seem to have lost much meaning.

Now, Zhen Li has put a lot of time and energy into endless entertainment, and in the past month alone, he should have become an elite talent, his spirit has been greatly weakened, and the whole person has become depressed.

But he didn't care, after all, everyone around him was like this.

After satisfying the material needs, we need to be spiritually satisfied, and after the spiritual greed is satisfied, we have to do something else, otherwise a few months will be enough to completely reduce the grassroots population to an entertainment group.

I listened to the news broadcast for a long time, saying that there are still a large number of alien warships suspended in outer space on the earth, threatening the safety of civilization all the time.

But months after the slogan "Believe in the Union, Create the Future" was shouted, people have continued to lie down in peace, and not many people are willing to spend time and energy to care more about it.

After all, there is a federation.

Zhen Li originally wanted to join the Space Force, but he did not meet the selection criteria, he tried many times, but was rejected.

After the need to contribute to the future of civilization for the Federation was not satisfied, Zhen Li's fighting spirit became even lower, so he enjoyed life more unscrupulously.

Come to think of it, too, there is not much more of him.

In a force like the Space Force, there will be many people to participate, and the competition is absolutely fierce, and it is enough for ordinary people like him to be happy and happy.

Until now, the emergence of the virtual world has given Zhen Li a new turn and a new pursuit in his entertainment life of doing nothing for several months.

Living in a federally allocated apartment complex, Zhen Li opened the customized virtual game pod, then stripped naked, calmed his inner restlessness, and then lay down.

The moment the hatch was closed, the nutrient solution that was enough to maintain the normal state of human body functions for a month covered the whole body, and Zhen Li's consciousness also entered the virtual world under the brain-computer link.

……

Virtual worlds.

[You are currently located in the Pan-Solar System Space Battlefield, and your identity is subordinate to the Federation C1 Fleet, the T1 battleship Bronze Magic Lamp, and the commander of the second-class battleship! 】

[Hostile Target: Gluttonous Fleet]

[Mission: Cooperate with the fleet to fight, command the battleship, destroy the enemy fleet, and destroy all the targets!] 】

……

Zhen Li was confused, and before he could react, the battle began.

"This is a virtual world?"

"Gluttonous fleet? Am I the commander of a starship? ”

When he was familiar with his identity and didn't know what to do next, he found that there were still many people standing around, and Zhen Li was about to ask something, so he heard the other party exclaim:

"Brother, you're the commander?"

“……”

"Talk, brother, this game is quite real, I lost a lot of battles as a commander, the fact that commanding a battleship is not done by people, it's a mess, I can't command this high-IQ brain, I hope you can be a reliable commander this time."

"This time my task now is to follow all orders from the commander as an adjutant, so give orders quickly." The other party hurriedly said.

Game?

Zhen Li looked at his arm, he was wearing the space combat light armor with the symbol of the Galaxy Federation, coupled with the surrounding environment, they were now in the space starship, and the feeling brought by everything was too real.

And, let him command the fleet?

Damn, he's a little problemalist to take the lead?

Zhen manages the numbness of the scalp.

"The first time I came in, I didn't understand the situation." Zhen Li saw the other party's anxious appearance, so he had no choice but to say it truthfully.

"Okay, you want me to go...... Not? What? The other party looked at Zhen Li with a look of "I'm afraid I'm not meeting a fool", and said in disbelief:

"You're a newcomer?"

"Yes."

"Holy!! This is gone, the virtual system, then it might as well let me be the conductor, who is it!! ”

“……”

The other party's almost crazy appearance made Zhen Li speechless for a while, and then said bluntly:

"I won't, you can teach me."

"Teach you? Okay, okay, you order to open that first...... What is it called, the battleship shield defense system is opened, and only you have access to the start of that thing, or you open the permission first...... I'm too late! ”

"Those bastards are coming again!"

Almost the moment he heard this, Zhen Li felt a shaking, and the whole person was thrown out, and there was a mess in the command room.

When he barely stood up and looked at the command screen of the battleship, he saw a bright light above, and the values of the hull that he couldn't understand showed a red drop, and it was obvious that they were now under attack.

Zhen Li was very messy, even if he tried his best to tell himself that this was just a virtual world, a game, when this realism of being on the interstellar battlefield still made him panic in his heart.

Command a battleship?

His mind was in a mess from the attack just now, and he forgot what the man had just said.

What system to turn on.

At the same time, a scolding voice sounded in the command room:

"Where's the commander, where is the commander? What do you eat? Order to hold the shield! ”

"Isn't it going to be a pit commander again?"

"Daode Tianzun bless, I've been blown into pieces by those gluttons five times, five times!"

"Made, can't you have a reliable command? Such a dazzling battleship can't be commanded, pull it out and kill it, have a good time! ”

"Forget the brothers, the commander is a newcomer, and he can't even command the shield, I hope the brothers on the control side of the battery can be stable, so let's hold on for a while."

"Second battalion commanders of the weapon console, shoot the Gauss cannon and light spear on time, please!"

"Quasi, this thing has a bunch of indicator buttons, and I haven't learned it, and I don't have a novice guide, who can play it? I can control 50% accuracy, and I hit the opposite side. ”

"In the past, I would shoot on computer games, just press the mouse and keyboard, this thing really can't be controlled...... Forget it, damn it, press it randomly, and destroy it together. ”

"Don't, you're doing evil!"

……

[Mission failed, your ship has been destroyed, no hostile targets have been destroyed......]

[Space Force virtual merit value calculation: 0.] 】

[Keep up the good work.] 】

……

[Do you want to continue to serve as the commander of the Bronze Lamp battleship?] You have four more commanding chances. 】

"Yes."
