In the dim sky, lightning shuttled through the dark clouds, and from time to time there were bursts of thunder. Gradually, the bean-sized rain dripped like beads, and it became a torrential rain in an instant.

Some people say it's raining because it's crying, and this afternoon – obviously, it's a little too sad.

In a dormitory at the university, Li Xiao opened his brand-new laptop. Rubbing his hands, he carefully pressed the start button, but in just four or five seconds, the computer entered the main interface.

"The new computer is really different." Muttering in a low voice, he took control of the mouse and clicked on a game on the desktop—

ARK: A Journey of Survival

"Lost class in the afternoon?" There was also a roommate of Li Xiao in the dormitory, and he was talking to Li Xiao at this time, while picking up an umbrella, it seemed that he was going out.

"Uh-" Li Xiao frowned, "There is a section, I really don't want to go." ”

"You're amazing! I'm not afraid of failing the course. The roommate said to Li Xiao, and at the same time put the textbook used in class under his armpit.

"If I don't go to a class, I shouldn't fail the course, right?" The roommate's words made Li Xiao's brows furrow deeper, and he said to himself: "But what if the teacher happens to be named?" ”

However, turning his gaze to the game on the screen, Li Xiao slapped himself hard in his heart!

"What about playing games, what are you thinking about, study, learn a fart!"

The roommate has left, and Li Xiao's side - with the click of the mouse and keyboard, he has sunk into the "Ark......

ARK: Survival Journey is a sandbox game with a high degree of freedom: on a vast island, with a complex natural climate and ancient beasts that have long been extinct, players are struggling to survive in this dangerous place.

Get the necessities of life, explore uncharted territories, find legendary ancient artifacts, summon dangerous bosses, and uncover the secrets of three giant monuments hidden above the island!

Hunting, planting, crafting...... This game contains a lot of fun to play.

One of the things that is quite special is that players can domesticate the island's ancient beasts and become their own pet mounts, whether it's the brutal and dangerous Tyrannosaurus Rex or the cute and harmless Dodo......

Create characters, set game parameters, ...... This series of operations only takes about ten seconds, and the game enters the loading page.

As for why he is so proficient, the reason is the same, he has played this game several times, and he can already be regarded as a god-level player in this game.

Every time he plays "Ark: Survival Journey", Li Xiao will find a different freshness in this familiar game, which is why he keeps rewatching this game.

"Click!"

A lightning bolt slammed through, illuminating the sky while a deafening sound was heard, and the loud boom startled Li Xiao, who was waiting for the game to enter.

"What the hell!" Li Xiao couldn't help but think of when he was a child in the countryside, when it came to a thunderstorm, all electrical appliances in the house must be disconnected, otherwise once lightning encountered, the electrical appliances may be short-circuited and ignited, causing potential safety hazards.

However, that was not possible in the past, and now the electrical appliances have overload protection......

"Click!"

Before the words fell, another lightning explosion sounded, unlike just now, the momentum of this lightning was extremely strong, and the strong sound wave drove the glass of the entire building to shake!

Li Xiao's ears were instantly deaf, and his head was constantly buzzing......

For a while, thunder and lightning roared, glass trembled, and the ground shook, as if the end of the world had descended!

After the lightning exploded over the dormitory building, the sound of the entire building lasted for more than ten seconds before stopping.

"Holy! No way! My newly bought computer! Li Xiao's howl came from the dormitory.

His ears hurt from the loud noise, but his attention was all on the computer in front of him, because after the thunder, his beloved computer screen suddenly blurred and snowflakes.

It was clear that it wasn't just his ears that were affected by the lightning!

Glancing at the socket on the side, he hurriedly bent down to unplug the computer power cord, trying to save the baby he had spent a lot of money on-

As soon as my hand touched the power cord, the numbness was rushed and transmitted from my fingers to the whole body!

How fast is the speed of the current? Li Xiao didn't know, he only knew that he would be paralyzed in the next moment, and he couldn't help himself!

The electric shock caused Li Xiao's muscles to contract and spasm, his whole body continued to twitch, and his hand was holding the socket more and more deadly.

At this moment, there was no one in the dormitory except for Li Xiao, so after he had convulsions for a while, this idiot who didn't pay attention to electricity safety completely stopped eating.

At the last moment of consciousness, Li Xiao saw a white light shining on him from the snowflake-covered computer screen......

——————

A huge island on the vast blue sea.

Warm and bright sunshine, clear blue waters, delicate and soft sandy beaches......

It's definitely a holiday mecca!

"Goo-goo...... Goo ......"

On the edge of the beach, a "big bird" with a fat body, a round head and a huge beak is looking curiously at the strange creature lying on the ground.

In its memory, it had never seen such a hairless orangutan, and it seemed to be dead when he looked motionless.

The curious bird circled around the creature a few times before stopping, and it usually had only one way to deal with the curious object – peck!

Body, limbs, hands and feet...... The big bird pecked at the strange creature on the ground......

Eventually, its beak pecked at the creature's head!

"Boom!"

The beak is in close contact with the head, making a low sound!

The big bird froze, it seemed to have discovered something amazing! After standing still for a moment, it tried again—

"Boom!" It's getting harder, and it's louder!

Its eyes sparkle with fun!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! "A low sound kept coming, and again, and again...... The bird, whose head is not bright, seems to have discovered an interesting activity.

————

"Sleepy! Quite sleepy! This strong sense of sleepiness made Li Xiao feel that the long sleep of losing consciousness was his final destination.

Best, never wake up!

However, the pain in his head greatly affected Li Xiao's plan for a long sleep.

This pain is like someone constantly knocking on his head with a small mallet, although it is not very painful, but it affects Li Xiao's rest, which makes him very irritable, but this incomparable sleepiness makes Li Xiao really lazy to move.

Eventually, the gavel will stop! That's what he thought in his heart.

However, it backfired, and the person who hit his head with a mallet seemed to be Li Xiao who would not stop until he woke up.

The irritability gradually accumulated, and when Li Xiao couldn't bear it, he moved.

Sleepy enough to open his eyes, he reached out and pulled the hateful "gavel" aside.

However, before waiting for a while, the "mallet" began to hammer his head again, Li Xiao pulled it away again, and pushed the person with the gavel hard, he felt that this time it was time to stop.

This pause was a little longer, but the gavel hit him in the head again!

"It's endless!"

Li Xiao, who couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed the handle of the mallet suddenly, and when he opened his eyes, he was about to teach this bastard who was constantly disturbing his sleep!

It wasn't a man with a mallet, but a strange bird about the size of a chicken! And I'm pinching its neck.

Its body feathers are blue, its head is purple, and its belly is lighter; The large, vulture-shaped beak is black overall; The wings are short, and it seems that they cannot fly; The legs are thick, similar to chicken thighs.

The most conspicuous thing is the tuft of curled feathers on its buttocks, these green feathers are very different from the color of the body feathers, and they look out of place.

This bird is both familiar and unfamiliar......

It is said that it is familiar, because looking at the appearance of this bird, it is obviously a dodo, this harmless creature can be seen everywhere in the Ark game, and he was still chasing it here in the game just now.

And the strange thing is how the common creatures in this game appear in reality?

You know, the dodo, a large, slow-witted, flightless creature that has long since become extinct due to human activities.

"That's not right!" After seeing the surrounding scene clearly, Li Xiao retreated from sleepiness and was completely awake, only then did he realize that he was no longer in the dormitory, and he had come to a strange place!

Looking around, the shock in Li Xiao's heart really couldn't be calmed!

I'm on the beach under the cliffs, with blue water in the distance, chest-high ferns, tall palm trees, and a harmless-looking herbivore that looks like a dinosaur!

Even more striking is the huge, glowing green monument hanging in the sky in the distance!

The green glowing obeli seemed to be made of metal, and the whole was in the shape of a vertical strip, with a sharp tip at the top and a wide bottom at the bottom, and you could feel its enormity from a distance.

The appearance of the monument is a futuristic sci-fi style, like a lot of metal spliced together, the center is hollowed, and a green pillar of light passes through the hollow place in the center from top to bottom, running through the entire monument, down to the ground, and up to the void.

It was as if the entire monument was hung between heaven and earth by this green light.

"This place! This place! An astonishing idea came to Li Xiao's mind!

"This is Ark Island! I'm crossing over into the game?! ”

His face was full of confusion and shock, and he stood up sharply as he spoke.

Rubbing his head and thinking about it, Li Xiao remembered that he seemed to have been electrocuted! Unexpectedly! After being electrocuted, I actually traveled to the game world?!

Li Xiao, who had fallen into a great change in his heart, looked at the world in front of him blankly, completely forgetting that he still had a dodo in his hand, and the hand holding his neck did not let go, and he lifted it up while getting up.

This dodo should still be underage, and its size is much smaller than that of a mature dodo, and it was grabbed by Li Xiao by the neck and lifted into the air, without the power to resist......

The neck that was held could not breathe, and the fate of suffocation was about to befall this dodo!

The instinct to survive made it struggle frantically, and it escaped from the already sluggish Li Xiao with difficulty.

"Goo-goo...... After the coo-...... landed, the dodo's call added a lot of panic.

This little guy finally tasted the bitterness, flapped his two little wings to escape from Li Xiao, and while twisting and running, he kept looking back at the "strange creature that came back from the dead".

Such an action, combined with its simple and cute image, presumably many girls will be moved by this cute thing.

Li Xiao didn't pay attention to the weak dodo, he still looked around blankly, immersed in his thoughts......

"How could it be...... How did you get into the game world...... What's going on? Can I go back? ”

Discouraged, he sat down again.

He is not the kind of protagonist of a novel who has no father or mother, no care, and no matter how he crosses.

Li Xiao's parents are alive and well, the family is harmonious, although he doesn't have a girlfriend yet, he is only a sophomore, and he has a lot of youth to squander.

How will parents be in this crossing? What about relatives and friends?

Thinking that his mother would wash her face with tears every night in the future, Li Xiao's heart was even more worried.

After sitting for nearly an hour, Li Xiao suppressed the clutter in his heart and rubbed his face vigorously, and then he paid attention to the current situation.

Since it's the Ark World, then—

Li Xiao looked at his left arm!

Sure enough, a diamond-shaped, half-finger-sized, metal artifact was embedded in the inner side of the forearm, attached to his own flesh and blood.

Li Xiao touched the implant, and the dim implant instantly lit up with a faint light, projecting a book-sized light screen in front of Li Xiao, and at the same time, a mechanical cold prompt sounded in Li Xiao's mind:

"Welcome to the Ark where the player 'Li Xiao' is coming!"

"Who are you? Why am I here? Li Xiao asked eagerly, but he didn't get the slightest response, and he had no choice but to look at the light screen again.

A few large characters that occupy the entire light screen gradually fade away, revealing a personal menu, with a total of four items:

[Item] [Crafting] [Domesticated Creature] [Character Attributes]

Items, commonly known as "backpacks", are filled with boxy white frames, each of which is a storage slot. Count carefully, 10x2, a total of 20 grids.

The boxes inside are all empty, and it doesn't seem to have any initial newbie gear.

To put it bluntly, it is a portable workbench, and each upgrade in the ark unlocks several blueprints, which players can use to craft tools, equipment, and other items. And there is no ready-made equipment in the Ark game, all equipment needs to be made by players using existing drawings.

The crafting slot isn't empty, there are already three recipes unlocked - Stone Pickaxe (primitive), Stone Axe (primitive), and Torch (primitive).

【Name:Stone Pickaxe (Original)】

[Damage: Very Low]

[Durability: Low]

[Crafting Required: Stone x1 Wood x1 Fiber x3]

[Note: No flint, stone?] Then you'll need a stone pickaxe! 】

……

[Name:Stone Axe (Original)]

[Damage: Very Low]

[Durability: Low]

[Crafting Requirements: Flint x1 Wood x1 Fiber x3]

[Note: No wood, thatch? Then you need a stone axe to take advantage of! 】

……

[Name: Torch (Original)]

[Damage: Very Low]

[Durability: Low]

[Crafting Requirements: Wood x2 Thatch x2 Fiber x1]

[Notes: Flames, which distinguish humans from beasts, bake food, and light up the night...... It doesn't need to be said, but be careful! Forest fire prevention is everyone's responsibility! 】

The familiar feeling arises spontaneously, this is exactly the three-piece set for newcomers to the Ark game, and looking at the appearance shown on the drawings, it is no different from the Ark game.

Of course, this thunderman's remarks are not in the Ark game.
