When Guan Zhe stepped out of Taylor's bar, he was greeted by a cool wind, which was completely different from the feeling of getting out of the fully loaded broken bus before.

He looked up at the vast, distant, and deep sky above him, which happened to be about the same time as the end time of the game, one o'clock in the morning, but very different from the starry night depicted in the game. The real sky was dim and gloomy, the starlight was shrouded in layers of mist, colorless, and the moonlight was hidden behind the hazy black clouds, which looked desolate and miserable.

The silence of the sky contrasted sharply with the loud music and lights of the bar behind him. For a moment, Guan Zhe had a feeling that his body seemed to be off the ground, and he only felt that the sky was spinning in an instant, as if the sky was far away from the deepest part, and there was a huge force that wanted to involve his body and soul, causing his feet and body to also rise from the ground and fall towards the far-reaching sky. He tried his best to resist, which caused him to lose his center of gravity, and he fell to the ground unguarded. But the strange thing is that the ground seems to be soft toast bread, and when you fall on it, not only does it not feel pain, but there is also a hint of sweetness.

"Are you alright? Atai was startled when he saw Guan Zhe like this, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull him to his feet.

"Ah......" Guan Zhe came back to his senses, he looked at everything in front of him, the ground was still solid, the sky was still high, but Atai's eyes were full of concern.

It's still so real!

"I guess I'm too tired. Atai said to himself, "Yes, I have been busy since I came out to work early this morning, so it was easy to rest and rest, and I used my brain to play games for a long time." ”

"Indeed, thank you for your hard work. Get in the car and I'll see you off. Haruka politely reasplayed the role of the driver.

The two of them sat on the Aobei Q7 again with Yaowen. Sitting in the back seat of the leather, Guan Zhe felt much more conscious, and countless questions popped up in his mind.

"Okay, where do you want to go, or do you want to send you back?"

Atai simply said: "Take us back to Sanhe, leaving there, I feel uncomfortable somewhere." ”

"Good. It's about the same as when you came, about an hour away, and if you're really tired, you can get some sleep in the car. ”

Guan Zhe thought for a while and said, "Brother Yao, can I ask you a few questions?"

Hearing Guan Zhe ask this, Yaowen didn't feel strange, and replied while driving: "You ask, but I can't guarantee that you can answer them all." ”

Guan Zhe sorted out his thoughts for a moment, and then said, "Brother Yao, Brother Tai and I are two people...... You know that...... It's the kind of day knot, others call us the gods of the three rivers, and they don't bother to take care of it, why do you want us to play games?"

Yaowen said: "What, do you think that there are still a lot of conditions to invite players to play the game?"

Guan Zhe said: "But how do you say it...... I think you can at least find some higher-end players, maybe they can give you more good advice. However, Brother Ty and I obviously can't. ”

Yaowen smiled: "Do you know, the biggest fear of the game is not that there are no players, but that every player is too professional. ”

"How?"

"Have you heard of Earth Online?"

Guan Zhe didn't understand why Yaowen would insert this inexplicable question, and wondered: "Do you mean an online game?"

"No, I'm just talking about a concept. There is an interesting saying that our world is actually a large-scale online game, and at the beginning of this game, various game rules were set, and after that, the world developed freely according to these rules. ”

Atai couldn't help but interject: "This idea is very fresh, I like it, I don't know where the heavenly way of our game is." ”

Seeing Atai's silly and silly appearance, Guan Zhe felt very speechless, he wanted to listen to Yaowen finish speaking, so he made a gesture to Atai beside him, signaling him not to interrupt Yaowen's words.

After waiting for a while, Yao Wen said: "In fact, our earth has existed for more than 4 billion years, just like a server that has been built but is empty, and for billions of years after that, no player has come in. The first players, about 500 million years ago, settled on this server. In the past 500 million years, they have grown and progressed together with this world according to the rules of the game, whether it is a small virus or a huge dinosaur, whether it is a single-celled amoeba or a sperm whale with a combination of hundreds of millions of cells, no matter how these players upgrade and evolve, they all follow the rules of this world, and there are fights and fights between players, but in fact they all rely on each other. However, in the last 3 million years, a group of advanced players appeared, the balance and interdependence were broken, and the rules of the game in this world were trampled. This group of advanced players is like opening a backdoor in the game, using some kind of illegal plug-in to kick out the game a large number of players accumulated by the server in the past 500 million years...... So, if the player is too powerful, although it can bring a lot of excitement to the game in a short time, it is also likely to break the game in a short period of time. ”

Atai heard Yaowen say so much, and he still couldn't help but speak: "What kind of high-level player is so powerful?"

Guan Zhe said lightly on the side: "Those high-level players that Brother Yao said are us. ”

Atai wondered, "We, what are we? What's wrong with us? Aren't we fine?"

Guan Zhe said: "We mean human beings. ”

Atai said thoughtfully: "I'll just say it, it turns out that we humans are humans." ”

Guan Zhe was very helpless about Atai's various interruptions, paused and asked, "Then Brother Yao, can you tell us what benefits you have for you to take us to play this game?"

"It's an experiment and a training way for everyone to get what they want, including you. Of course, it doesn't matter to you, and I don't think it's something you need to worry too much about. If it is necessary to tell you anything, it will also be told to you in the future. ”

Guan Zhe thought for a while and said: "The last question, is there any ultimate task for us players, or does the game set any goals or deadlines for us players." ”

This question is very important and depends on how long we can play this player. Guan Zhe thought to himself.

Yaowen said: "Actually, in the game just now, as Jin Wanjun, Atai has already said that he wants to be the leader of the martial arts alliance. For players, the ultimate task of this game is to become the leader of the martial arts alliance. For players in the same round, this goal has no expiration date until one player becomes the leader of the Martial Arts Alliance. ”

Guan Zhe asked, "I don't quite understand what you mean, that is, in addition to me and Atai, there are many players playing this game together?"

Yaowen said: "Of course, we have a total of 9 Heavenly Dao groups, and each Heavenly Dao group can have up to 7 players at the same time, that is, in addition to you, there are up to 61 players playing this game. ”

Jin Wanjun opened his mouth wide in fright and said, "My God, are there so many players playing?

Yaowen said: "Players in different Heavenly Dao groups are responsible for their respective Heavenly Dao groups, arranging the venue and organizing the game process. I belong to the Sixth Heavenly Dao group with Feng Shao and Drunken Qingfeng, and the other players in this group, if you have a chance in the future, maybe you will meet, of course, according to the rules, this requires players to agree with each other. ”

Jin Wanjun said: "What's wrong with being able to play games with other players, why don't you agree." ”

"Every player in the real world also has their own identity and privacy, which does not mean that everyone is willing to share their true selves with others outside the game. ”

Guan Zhe said: "I understand, that is to say, as an official, you have the obligation to keep the privacy of all players confidential." Players are not allowed to view each other's real information unless the other party agrees. ”

Yaowen said: "It can be understood in this way. Okay, that's all for questions and answers. There are thousands of roads, and safety is the first. The driving is not standardized, and the relatives are in tears. Along the way, I will also drive with peace of mind. ”

For Guan Zhe, he feels that he already knows a lot of information he wants to know, and he is quite satisfied with the harvest. And Atai didn't bother to think about it anymore, closed his eyes and fell asleep on the side.

In fact, there are still a lot of questions I want to ask, Guan Zhe thought.

What is the Heavenly Dao that they keep talking about?

What do the vaguely mentioned Decision Hall and the Heavenly Dao Group do?

What does that strange symbol on the business card and character card mean?

Not to mention, what is the fundamental purpose of the existence of this game? Although the number of games with more than 60 people participating at the same time is not worth mentioning compared to online games, Guan Zhe feels that there must be some secret behind the investment of time, energy, manpower and material resources required for this kind of game played by real people.

He believes that as long as he can continue the game and ensure that he is not eliminated, these secrets will one day be solved by himself. And that martial arts alliance leader, maybe it will be him.

Along the way, the crowd was silent. About an hour later, the car took Atai and Guan Zhe back to the Three Rivers Talent Market.

"Remember, contact me within three days. Waving goodbye to the two, Yao Wen drove away.

"Finally back. Atai touched his face and tried to get his spirits, "Okay, find a hotel first, I need to take a good shower and sleep today." ”

Although it was only a short day, the two seemed to have experienced too many things, and the stories in the game would come to their minds from time to time.

Carrying two bottles of water in the small shop, they found a small hotel with a bunk for 15 yuan, and the two took turns to take a hot bath, and then they fell asleep peacefully in the stinking and smoky room, tightly stacked with seven or eight bunk beds. And even in such a shabby, dirty little hotel, Ah Tai and Guan Zhe are not often able to stay. In many cases, they also need to save the 15 yuan accommodation fee, sleeping in the open air on a park bench, in front of a convenience store or in a deserted corner of the city.

It can be said that this was the most soundly sleeping day for Atay in many days. His unbridled snoring is the best proof of this. And Guan Zhe, but tossing and turning in bed couldn't sleep, I don't know why, he has begun to look forward to the next game, and finally unconsciously fell asleep, in the dream, he practiced peerless martial arts, slashed countless foreign soldiers, became the leader of the martial arts alliance, and married Ouyang Shufei as his wife......
