Chapter 1: The Demon World
"Sorry beauty!"
The night is hazy and the autumn night is a good time to run at night.
At the corner of the dimly lit intersection, two men and women running in the opposite direction collided directly.
Sunan barely stabilized his body, and the long-term exercise made him react quite quickly, and he adjusted his body to the side at the first time, which greatly reduced the force of the collision between the two sides.
Through the dim halo of the street lamp, it can be seen that the person who collided with him was a woman in her early twenties in a black dress, tall and tall, with delicate facial features.
The woman ignored Sunan and continued to run in the direction he came, fast and in a hurry.
"Running so fast, rushing to reincarnate?" Glancing at the woman's back, Sunan muttered dissatisfied.
He didn't stay too long and continued to run forward at a constant pace.
Sunan is a security guard, and unlike ordinary security guards, he works in a very famous five-star hotel in the city.
It is precisely because it is a high-end hotel, even if it is a security guard, it is very good, relatively, the hotel has high requirements for security and requires excellent physical fitness.
After several years of military service, he developed the habit of insisting on exercising, and running at night every day has become a compulsory course for him every day.
The route he runs at night is not remote, and it is the rush hour after work, and there are many people running at night.
However, he hadn't run for long, and the two oncoming people in front of him couldn't help but look at it twice.
It was two men, running fast, strangely both wearing caps and black masks that completely obscured their faces.
Looking at the two of them quietly, Sunan was a little strange, in his opinion, these two people didn't seem to be running here at night at all.
It's like chasing someone.
The reason is simple, running requires fast breathing, no one is going to run at night with a mask on, and it's still that fast!
Sunan didn't think much about it, kept the rhythm and continued to run forward, in his opinion, even if the two were really chasing someone, it was none of his business,
……
Ten minutes later.
Dragging his exhausted body, Sunan returned to his rental house.
After taking a hot bath, he began to wash his sweat-soaked clothes, as was customary.
Suddenly, he sensed something and reached into the pocket of his pants.
A metal ring in the shape of a bracelet appeared in his hand.
"This is a bracelet?"
"How can I have such a thing on me?" Sunan frowned.
Under the light, if you look closely, you will soon see that this is not a bracelet.
The metal ring is composed of two semicircles, and there is a delicate and delicate buckle in the middle, which can be detached and opened, and when put together, it is tightly sealed, and the whole is shining with a silvery-white luster, full of metallic texture.
Sunan can be sure that this thing is definitely not his own.
He took it into his pocket when he got off work, and he didn't have it on him at the time.
"I ran all the way back from work, I didn't do anything else during the process, and I didn't contact anyone, how did this thing get to me?"
Sunan thought about it carefully and tried to filter everything that happened after work.
Suddenly, he thought of something and frowned.
"It's the woman who collided with me, and she's the only one who has been in contact with me!" Sunan's face changed slightly, and he thought of a lot in an instant.
Obviously, this metal ring was most likely put in his pocket when he collided with the woman, who took advantage of his inattention!
If that's the case, then the meaning is extraordinary.
It's impossible for someone to put something in someone else's pocket for no reason, even if it's a prank, someone is trying to fix you.
Sunan didn't believe that the metal ring had accidentally fallen into his pocket by the woman.
"What do you want to do, let's see what it is."
Continuing to look closely at the metal ring, he found that on the inside of the metal ring, several small characters were clearly engraved, as well as a string of alphanumeric combinations.
Demon World, RtU-5143
"Demon world? Could this be a gaming bracelet? ”
Seeing these small words and letters, Sunan reacted.
He is familiar with this style of monogram, and in many game bracelets, there are similar text monograms.
After hundreds of years of development, online games have developed from web games that could only be operated by buttons on the web page to virtual reality games that can directly realize conscious operations through the game warehouse.
Due to the high cost of game warehouses and the fact that the initial game warehouses could only play games designated by game manufacturers, virtual reality games failed to be popularized on a large scale for a long time.
It wasn't until the advent of gaming bands that the situation improved.
There are two functions of the game bracelet, one is responsible for storing the game software, players want to experience different games, they only need to buy the game bracelet of the corresponding game.
The second is identity verification, for players, the game bracelet is like a personal ID card, which holds the player's personal information.
It's not that Sunan hasn't seen a game bracelet, on the contrary, he is also a veteran game enthusiast, and in his bedroom, there is a game warehouse with a lot of money.
It's just that most of the gaming bracelets he's seen are made of plastic with a delicate chip inside.
Like now, the entire bracelet is made of metal as a whole, but it's the first time I've seen it.
According to the numbering format of the game bracelet, its Chinese part is the name of the game.
"If it's a game bracelet, check it out."
The mobile phone browser opened, he directly searched for the demon world, the web page refreshed, and the next moment a large number of results related to the demon world appeared on the screen.
"There's really this game."
Sunan's eyes lit up, and he chose a link at the top and clicked in.
This is the game forum of "Demon World".
"What a garbage game, it's been a week, and Lao Tzu hasn't even completed the opening task."
"Slip away, it's not me playing a game at all, it's a game playing me, I log in to the game every day, I can't even survive for ten minutes!"
"Without the cerebral thrombosis at ten o'clock, I couldn't have planned this game at all, and I want to know now who came up with this game!"
……
All the posts full of negative emotions came into view, and I flipped through them in the game forum at will, and Sunan was very surprised.
After watching it for a while, he finally understood what the game was all about.
The so-called "Demon World" is a game that has just been on the market for a week.
The production company of this game also doesn't know what to think, since the game was released, there has been no advertising, and players can't even find the official website of the game, which directly causes few people to know about this game.
What's even more strange is that there are no game bracelets for this game on the market for sale, and the game bracelets of players in the forum are all given by the game company by courier when the game is reserved in the early stage.
According to some players, there are only a few thousand players who have logged into the game so far, and many players have dropped out after a few attempts.
The reason is simple, the game is too difficult!
In the game, players only have one life per day, and once they die, they can no longer log in to the game that day, and the game difficulty is directly full.
This is also the result that a week has passed, and there are still many players who have not even completed the novice tasks at the beginning.
"There are four levels of difficulty in the game, with one star being the easiest and four stars being the most difficult, and there is a huge gap between each star."
"Players who have not yet completed the novice task are advised to choose a one-star mission if they want to quickly improve their strength, and do not choose a task with a difficulty above the two-star level."
A pinned strategy post attracted the attention of Sunan, posted by a player named Zhou Cheng.
This player is obviously very powerful, at least at the current stage of the game, a top-notch existence.
"Although there are many rewards for difficulty tasks above two stars, they are too time-consuming and labor-intensive, even if they are barely completed, the difficulty of subsequent main quests will increase significantly."
"Instead of wasting time on the newbie mission, it is far better to skip the newbie mission as soon as possible, and the daily and main quests are king."
"I used this method, and now the main quest has completed two links, and the demon scripture of cultivation has been upgraded from beginner to full."
Zhou Cheng's strategy has attracted the attention of a large number of players, and some players do not agree with his method, in their opinion, the more difficult the task means the higher the reward, the more challenging the game is.
Of course, these people are only a minority, and more people still agree with Zhou Cheng's method, at least Zhou Cheng can rise rapidly in a short period of time, which has proved the feasibility of this method.
It's just that what can they agree with?
The novice quest is still too difficult for them.
"The great god is terrifying, according to speculation, the promotion of the demon scripture to Dacheng requires 14 points of demon power, and I haven't even got 2 points of demon power now."
"Worthy of the great god, old Versailles! Who doesn't want to complete the novice task as soon as possible, but the strength doesn't allow it. ”
Under Zhou Cheng's strategy post, a large number of players wailed.
Where do they not know that the novice task is too much time waste, but the problem is, the novice task is too difficult and too difficult for them.
"Is this game really that hard? I just don't know if I can log in to this game? ”
Looking at the content on the forum, and looking at the game bracelet in his hand again, Sunan became interested.
Normally, the game bracelet is bound to the player's identity, and others cannot log in even if they get the bracelet.
Of course, there are exceptions, some players play games not only for entertainment, but also to make money, these people often do not bind the bracelet to their identity, in order to be able to sell the bracelet in the future and make a profit from it.
With the attitude of giving it a try, Sunan returned to the bedroom and entered the game warehouse wearing a bracelet.
【Consciousness Connection......】
【Connection successful!】 】
[Game bracelet detected, loading in-game ......]
[The game is loaded, this bracelet has been bound to the player's "falling leaves", you are not a bound player of this bracelet, please log in with your bracelet. 】
"Can't log in!"
"Sure enough, other people's game bracelets are still unreliable."
The virtual textual message popped up in front of him, and Sunan was not surprised, but just shook his head.
Just as he was about to open the game compartment and exit, suddenly, the text in front of him changed, and a series of messages popped up.
[An unknown error has occurred, the player's 'fallen leaves' have been detected, and the bracelet is in an ownerless state, and you can log in normally.] 】
[The bracelet has been rebound, and one of the abilities of the previous player will be inherited at random below]
【Ability Randomly Selected ......】
[Innate ability has been extracted, confirm yes/no inheritance]
[Note: Each player can only inherit the abilities of the previous player once, so choose carefully.] 】
A series of words jumped, and Sunan looked inexplicable.
"The previous player is dead? What's the situation? ”
