Volume 1 Crime and Punishment in Fog City Chapter 16 Take a Break
"…Luckily I took off my equipment quickly."
This is a really nice pose.
Looking at his own deflated body from a bird's eye view, Li Lin took a photo with interest using the camera function.
This is an old habit. As a casual player, although I will work hard when I encounter interesting things, being killed is actually just a matter of time. It just so happens that I have been playing for such a long time and I am very tired. It's time to take a break.
There is nothing that can't be solved by changing clothes with one click. Although Li Lin's speed is not considered a one-click change, with the help of the item space, he can basically become naked with a very casual pull of clothes. Although it is serious that equipment will be lost upon death, this is just a game after all. The progress bar is there, and I am not a game addict. Your inventory is still there after you die.
Who would play this game if there is no inventory? It's not like there's something wrong with your brain.
After he deftly pressed the exit button on the menu, after a while, the originally dark world gradually twisted and rotated, and then his consciousness seemed to emerge from deep water. In a moment of dizziness caused by decompression, the world in front of Li Lin's eyes gradually became clear.
The familiar ceiling was right above his head. The pale white ceiling made of high polymer material was lit with energy-saving lamps around it, indicating that everything was normal. After three days of immersive gaming, there were still no major problems . It would be better to say that Li Lin was already a very restrained player compared to the standard progress of a week of immersive gaming experience. Although he said he was a professional player, he was already a casual player in action.
He would not dig up any secrets in the game, nor would he randomly kill any monsters, nor would he read every book and every piece of information in the game like a game fanatic. To be honest, Li Lin even felt that he was the type of player that the manufacturer hated the most.
He only knew how to complete tasks here and there and wasted the company's computing resources without spending a penny. Although this game now has a point card system, Li Lin really played it like a single player. For three whole days, he didn't see a single player in such a big city. It felt a bit empty, lonely and cold. Even if he wanted to find someone to complain about the task process, he couldn't find anyone.
"Look at how many people are playing now..."
Consciousness spread rapidly, and several web pages appeared on the display screen inside the helmet along with the fluctuations of brain waves.
Looking at the few comments above, it is clear that it is a dream to become a popular online game in just three days. Obviously, although the public beta has been launched, this company still does its own thing and has no intention of advertising. It is simply a shame among all companies. However, the high quality still attracts a lot of curious players. After three days, there have been more than a dozen posts discussing it in the forum. However, it is basically far from its region, so Li Lin did not pay too much attention to it.
However, when he saw that some people were planning to live stream the game process to attract more people to the game, Li Lin still felt a sense of pride as the first to arrive. This kind of subtle sense of pride in promoting a niche game has existed since ancient times and is a very normal thing. After being taught some tips on the game by a senior, Li Lin disconnected from the Internet and planned to pack up and go to bed.
Anyway, he didn't have to worry about his life since he had enough food and drink. He ate, slept, played, and ate again. After ten years of crazy prison life, he ended up living a life like a pig without any ambition. He didn't know whether it was a gain or a loss.
"Ah... take a bath, take a bath..."
Let’s take a nap and play again tomorrow.
Pulling out the plug from the interactive interface behind his head, Li Lin touched the socket behind his head and sighed, then dragged his somewhat sore body into the bathroom.
Compared with modern high-tech brain wave interfaces, his insertion port made by surgery is about five years behind the times. However, this is a mark of his after all, and it is a bit reluctant to directly remove it by surgery, so he simply performed a protective surgery and left it as an exposed interface.
Looks like it has some personality.
"Games..."
Looking at the exposed excuse behind his head in the mirror that looked like an electronic product, and touching the number 1 tattooed around it, Li Lin felt a little dazed.
When I was young, I was crazy about all kinds of bloody and exciting video games. Although it is still the same now, compared with the day and night practice back then, I am now much more stable. After all, the teenagers have become people in their thirties, and there is no more blood, just follow the rhythm of the game.
"But then again, the requirements of this game are really perverted, with killing people and sacrifices. Players are required to act as cultists and make sacrifices?"
Although the rewards look good, I always feel like something is wrong.
After washing his hair under the tap like a crow watering itself, Li Lin wiped his hair with a towel, looked at the ordinary young man with lifeless eyes in the mirror, picked up the toothbrush and brushed his teeth, thinking about every detail of the game.
Things that were not very clear in the game, after taking a look outside the game, basically everything became clear. Generally speaking, it is said that those who are involved are confused, while those who are not involved can see clearly. Now that I have been infected by the game environment, I can see that many of the content and plot of this game seem unreasonable, but they are full of mysteries.
For example, the assassinations that seemed to happen everywhere from top to bottom, could a small noble organization with few guards do this? There must be a very high-level figure involved, and the manpower and material resources mobilized must be quite large. If it was just someone in the upper class who didn't like him, then he would not be attacked by a few supervisors when he went underground.
As for the so-called reasons for the dream mentioned by Jiangong, Li Lin was new to them. If a little hope suddenly appeared in a numb environment, everyone would definitely rush over like crazy.
"But who wants me dead... Could it be that he didn't come out?"
After washing up, Li Lin rubbed his hair, walked into the bedroom and threw himself on the soft bed.
"By the way, if you sacrifice your body with a blood and flesh ritual, what will come out?"
As he gradually fell into a trance while lying on the bed, Li Lin suddenly thought of this. With anticipation for tomorrow's game content, Li Lin slowly closed his eyes and fell into a safe sleep.
