Chapter 1 The Initial World
2100, January, 1st.
A virtual world-class super online game called World ushered in its public beta day in the call of countless players.
When it comes to this game, I have to talk about the history of virtual online games.
"World" is almost the same age as the birth of the technology of the whole virtual world, and its concept has been mentioned since the birth of virtual world technology. However, because the technology at that time was far from mature enough, the plan was put on hold until it was forgotten. It has been dragging on until virtual technology is becoming more and more mature and gradually radiating to civilian enterprises. Some people suddenly think of the original idea like a joke, and there is a place in the process of virtual world history.
At first, the purpose of World was not for the game!
"The World" is the product of a technical competition between the world's major science and technology countries. Since the moment of the birth of virtual world technology, dozens of technological dominant countries such as China, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Japan, Germany and South Korea have begun to explore virtual technology. Every government knows that virtual technology is a technology that can change the human process. Naturally, it is the development and research of forgetting to eat and sleep. When manpower is exhausted, research will always encounter bottlenecks. Finally, countries begin to focus on each other's technology.
So the "World" studio was born, which is called virtual technology exchange. It is just to build a virtual world on this framework, exchanging the technologies that cannot be completed by each other and the technologies that have been conquered by all parties. Of course, the price paid is naturally the technology that has been conquered by the other side but has not yet been achieved by the other side.
Since then, the "World" studio has published some exciting technologies from time to time, and then bid some technologies that can be used by the public to major companies.
After that, he disappeared and continued to immerse himself in research and development and exploration.
Now, it has been 19 years.
Thanks to the research of World, the virtual technology in today's world has advanced by leaps and bounds. In just more than ten years, it has also entered an era where there are many virtual games that once existed only in novels. Even entertainment developed countries such as China, the United States, Japan and South Korea have entered the saturation period of virtual games.
At this time, the first chapter of a brand-new century has begun.
Li Jin walked on the street at eight o'clock in the morning with a slight drowsiness and fatigue. Suddenly, he stopped and looked at the sea of people in front of him with a little astonishment.
At the end of the sea of people, a news report is playing on a huge screen.
"Since the announcement of the operation of World, the virtual game industry around the world has been greatly impacted! Following the announcement of major European game companies' products offline, the United States also stopped the operation of all 'non-special games'! Today, China's game industry also announced that virtual games will be suspended except for some specific games. In order to make up for the losses of players, players in the following virtual world can hold their ID cards and game helmets to the local World special helmet sales point and exchange a World special helmet for free.
After the host finished speaking, the names of some games appeared on the big screen, including a series of famous Chinese virtual online games such as Fantasy, Kunlun and Shushan.
Li Jin came back from his trance and remembered that today was the day of the public beta of World.
Li Jin looked at a group of people holding all kinds of game helmets in front of him with complicated eyes, and the World franchise store, which has not yet opened at 8:30 under the big screen at the end of the crowd.
Strictly speaking, he is unemployed.
In fact, it's not just him, but a large number of people have lost their jobs because of World.
Li Jin is a free (unemployed) professional gamer at this time.
Professional gamer is a profession that has emerged in recent years, formerly known as professional players. Nowadays, professional players have become synonymous with amateurs, or players with certain professional quality. They usually walk around as students in major virtual games to help people, work, and earn some pocket money. They are more like game workers, but most of the time they focus on games, so they still belong to players.
Naturally, many people choose to become professional players to make a little money in their game career, but many of them will also choose to become professional gamers. And professional players have become the only way for primary school apprentices who have laid the foundation before becoming professional gamers.
However, with the operation of World, which is strongly supported by governments, the pattern of professional balance seems to have collapsed.
In the final analysis, all virtual games today are just technology derived from World.
More than ten years of grinding is far from being compared with today's virtual online games.
"The World" not only contains hundreds of major and thousands of small international sciences that explicitly prohibit private development. What's more, the core of "World" is different from any virtual online game today.
"World" has no relationship with virtual online games from its foundation. Its core program is based on logical and rigorous scientific data. In the past two decades, the World has absorbed professional data in various disciplines such as physics, mathematics and chemistry, including the participation of dozens of Nobel Prize winners in various professional disciplines. The core of the World can fully calculate any scientific proposition in reality with absolutely rigorous logic.
Therefore, the "World" studio also has a nickname: "Nobel Studio"
And the core of "World" is also nicknamed: "Nobel Heart"
If the previous games are just some that bring people into a highly realistic game world, and then activate the already arranged plots, pictures, and various effects after you do a specific operation, and then "play" a "high-fidelity, controllable" game for you. Then "World" is a kind of "World" when you throw an iron sword from the game and then accelerate the time flow in "World", you can see the real-time deduction based on real physical data on the weapon, from rust to corruption. Whether it is a sword or a thousand swords, you can always clearly see the difference of each decay traces. It will not be the same as the usual virtual online games.
"...day!"
Looking at the sea of people in front of him, Li Jin couldn't help lamenting his luck. He had just lost his job with a group of colleagues. At this time, he was also blocked on the way back to the apartment, and these two things were related to the game World...
--The house leaks rains all night, and the boat is late. ——
At this time, Li Jin suddenly felt that these two words were very bitter in his mouth.
......
"Nonsense! It's just nonsense!"
In a magnificent room, a teenager stood beside a rocking chair with a wistful face. Sitting in the chair was a middle-aged man in his forties with a little majesty and self-respect. At this time, the person sitting in the chair was cursing the teenager standing aside with a gloomy and hoarse voice.
"Do you dare to kill the heirs of the American Group for a game access device?"
The middle-aged man questioned the teenager with a gloomy face. He suddenly remembered something, smashed the cup at hand, and scolded the young man, "Fuck you, do you know how big a basket you have provoked? Do you still have my father in your eyes?"
"...cough, cough!"
A slightly weak and soft cough came from the inner room, as if it was a spring breeze blowing through the serious living room. This breeze brightened the eyes of the teenager, and the anger of the middle-aged man disappeared without a trace, as if the spring breeze took away the severe cold and only left the warmth and harmony of spring.
"You just spoil him too much. Look, what has he done now!" Middle-aged people seem to want to find some face for themselves, and they can't help counting teenagers.
"What's the matter? We are underworld. What's the problem with killing people? Besides, aren't you dealing with the old woman in the company in the United States? Our Xiaojie made her son, and you are still unhappy?"
A beautiful woman walked out of the inner room and counted the middle-aged man as she walked. This is a slightly young beautiful woman. She laughs like a flower, and there is a beauty between her hands and feet, but the words in her mouth are as cold as a blade, and she doesn't take other people's lives and property seriously at all.
All the way to the teenager's body, he took him into his arms and took him to the side and sat on the chair together.
The middle-aged man frowned at the beautiful woman's spoiling teenagers and shook his head and said, "The problem is that it's not the right time to kill. We still have a sum of money that hasn't been transferred. The crazy woman's son died. The desperate sniper on the enterprise that we didn't have time to transfer. The company has lost nearly 200 million."
"It's just the two leather bag companies that are used to launder money. Our son's job is really beautiful this time. There is no evidence left. It's getting more and more mature and stable. It's easy to inherit your industry in the future."
The beautiful woman quickly winced at the teenager. The teenager immediately stood up and said with a smiling face, "Father, don't worry, I promise to give you an explanation with ten times the profit of this time."
"Although "World" is only a game, it can concentrate the support of most powerful governments in the whole world in an unprecedented manner, which will definitely change the direction of the whole world. As long as we can create certain advantages in the early stage, there will be unimaginable returns in the future."
"The World"? Indeed, there are so many countries involved that can play an unimaginable value even if it is rubbish, but you killed that boy just to take a VIP access device? Can you do it? As long as online games are willing to spend money to hire some professional players, they are much more practical than VIPs. Middle-aged people remember that when they were young, they also played a lot of online games, but in front of his strong financial resources, no matter what kind of game and professional players are just local chickens and tiles.
"Dad, I'm going to change my mind. You should know that there were a lot of games in the past, and the rich people were scattered in various games one by one. Now those games are closed, and I'm afraid they will gather in World next. Hey hey, no one will lose money at that time. It's hard to say who to give it to anyone. Only when you have money and a VIP access device distributed to a limited number of people who have contributed to the World can you be steadily ahead of others.
The middle-aged man bowed his head and thought for a while. Uh-huh, he agreed with the teenager's words and suddenly asked, "by the way, the access device that you have to grab even if you kill people. Let me have a look..."
"Wait a minute, the access device is bound by that boy, otherwise I don't need to kill him. Now Uncle K takes my ID card to the World outlet downstairs to unlock it."
"What!" The middle-aged man jumped up and picked up the teenager's collar and said angrily, "You are not afraid of being seen careless. This matter has been filed for a long time. There are a bunch of strips staring at us outside. How dare you to take the boy's access device to unlock it?"
"Anla, Dad, I asked Uncle K to pack the accessor into an ordinary helmet. It will be fine."
......
At this time, Li Jin scolded in his heart and struggled to squeeze into the crowd. His target was the street on the other side of the crowd. From there, 600 meters to the left was the apartment area where he lived. However... Before that, he, a professional gamer, must risk his lack of exercise all year round and cross the Great Wall of flesh and blood in front of him step by step...
Li Jin squeezed into the crowd in a low voice of abuse and dissatisfaction. In such a torrent of blood and blood, when Li Jin came to the center, the "World" specialty store had begun to open. However, this undoubtedly increased the difficulty for him to cross the flesh and blood Great Wall, because the people beside him began to move in and pushed each other. Li Jin felt like an ant drifting with the tide, involuntarily floating over in the torrent of the rainstorm, floating over, floating... almost vomiting...
Suddenly, there was a noise and a scream on the right side of Li Liang, that is, in the direction of the World franchise store.
... Then more screams came.
"There are thieves~"
An aunt's voice is centered not far from the front door of the "World" store, and the circular sound waves spread to the area surrounded by the whole crowd. After that, the people near the "World" store began to squeeze out, and even the scene that caused the whole queue began to become extremely chaotic.
Li Jin's weak body was so submerged in the torrent, and there was no spray.
Suddenly, in a corner of the crowded crowd, a girl shouted desperately, and several people beside her also crooked. Li Jin, who was covered with footprints, came out of this small corner, grinned and rubbed his waist and hummed. He kept inhaling, "One day I became the chairman. It is absolutely forbidden to take such a murder weapon as high heels to the street, and I almost stepped on me."
Li Jin stood up and was about to leave when he found a special helmet for "World" in front of him, but no one beside him noticed the helmet.
