Volume 6 Agate Chapter 598: The Horrifying Version 3.0
Real world.
The azure federation, the gorgeous city.
A hollow composite metal tube stood on the side of the road. Through the reinforced glass, one could vaguely see that the interior was inlaid with complex and sophisticated electronic circuit boards and some kind of light beam emitting device.
There was a constant buzzing sound.
The metal tube projects a holographic indicator frame with three place names and directions marked on it. The largest font in the middle is golden and reads "Wildcat Street".
There were many pedestrians on the road. Some of them looked down at the personal terminals mounted on their arms while walking. Some were delighted by the short videos on the holographic projection screen, while others were browsing the game forum of "Mysterious Age".
At the corner of the street, in a bar called "Mechanical Bride".
The ears are filled with noisy but rhythmic dynamic electronic music, and some young people in fancy and even over-modified clothes are swaying wildly on the dance floor.
They looked like a group of short-circuited and twitching robots.
In a relatively quiet corner, the Polaris team gathered together offline.
"Brother Dong, do you have any new gossip?"
The yellow-haired young man with tattoos on his face and a mechanical structure on his neck asked.
There is a circular interface behind his ear, connected to a data cable, and the same is true for the rest of the people. More than a dozen data cables finally converge on the square device on the table. This is a communication device that can block out the noise of the bar.
"No."
The gentle young man with glasses shook his head.
"This version update was too sudden, and I don't know what's going on inside the Heroic Spirit Pavilion..."
Everyone looked at Chen Xi again. This lady with long wavy hair dyed in gradient purple also shook her head, conveying a message:
"Including the three major guilds, all guilds actually don't have the so-called intelligence."
"That's really strange..."
Weiyin was wearing an elegant princess dress, and her emerald green short hair was extremely eye-catching under the light.
"But the guild behind you should have instructions, right?"
Dongyang, Chenxi and Goutoujin nodded.
"No matter how the version changes, it will never go wrong to follow Jack. After all, he has been confirmed as one of the most important characters in the plot."
"Abei, what about you? Did you receive any instructions from Jack before you went offline? Maybe there are some hints for the next version..."
Su Keying, who had long pink hair and was wearing a loose sweater, asked.
She has a star-shaped earring hanging on her left ear, making her look youthful and beautiful.
Polaris is a young man with an unprepossessing appearance, but his determined eyes are particularly impressive.
He was only wearing a simple black T-shirt today, with a circle and the cursive letter "J" printed in the middle. This was a limited edition game peripheral that was hot-selling recently, and Polaris grabbed more than a dozen different models at the time.
Picking up the wine glass, Polaris took a sip of the ice-blue cocktail, then remained silent for a few seconds before saying:
"Indeed, the message I received was just one sentence..."
"One sentence?!"
Everyone was very surprised.
Polaris nodded, lifting her gaze to look at her friends.
"He said, 'You and I are about to face a fateful decision.'"
"ah?"
"What does this mean?"
The team members all looked puzzled.
"I don't know."
Polaris whispered.
"But I have a feeling that the next version will be difficult, much more difficult than the previous two versions...but we will all shine."
"Aren't we quite famous now...after all, we have been on the top of the charts for so long."
Goutoujin stroked his iron chin and raised his eyebrows.
"My brother Gouzi is also famous in the gaming circle!"
Several girls rolled their eyes.
The bald guy with a chestnut ponytail even used a straw to scoop up some sparkling water and flicked it over, while the dog-headed golden boy dared not say a word.
Polaris shook his head, tapping his fingers on the metal table.
"I mean, we will not only be famous in the gaming community, but we will also be famous in real life..."
"ah?"
Everyone looked at each other.
"Brother Beizi, your intuition... well, it's really strange."
The Dragon King scratched his head.
He had mainstream long, messy hair that even covered his left eye, and black lipstick on his mouth, looking very much in line with the trend of Gorgeous City.
"I don't know why, but this intuition is very strong."
Polaris took a deep breath, his expression serious.
"Abei, you are bringing 'spiritual intuition' into reality, right?"
Dog-head gold joked .
The others also smiled.
"Games are games, we still have to distinguish them... Some time ago, there was a crazy player who couldn't distinguish reality. He thought he was a superhuman and went to rob people. Then he was shot dead in the street by the mobile force of the Armed Forces Department."
Dongyang gave a tactful reminder.
Polaris glanced at him, smiled and shook her head.
He raised his cocktail in a toast, took a sip, and said:
"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."
They chatted for a while.
The topic ranged from the latest electronic products of the Flash Eagle Group to the adult black technology of the Amnesia Dancer Group, and from "Virtual Girlfriend" to the annual report of the consortium.
“What the hell!!”
At this moment, a sound of surprise suddenly came from the next table.
Polaris and the others looked over when they heard the noise and saw a young man standing up from his chair with an excited look on his face.
A few people were puzzled, and then they heard the young man shouting:
"The server is open! The server is open!"
Immediately, the young man couldn't wait to leave his seat, squeezed through the crowd, and ran out of the bar.
Polaris and the others were startled.
In the current gaming world, more than 80% of people are playing "Mysterious Age", so what the young man meant by "launching the server" is self-evident...
"The update is complete, version 3.0 has been confirmed to be online!"
Su Keying was the fastest. She logged onto the game forum immediately and after confirming, she quickly told everyone the good news.
"Let's go! Go back! Let's talk about it after we get on board!"
Dongyang stood up and spoke decisively.
Everyone paid using their personal terminals and hurried out of the bar.
At this time, they found that there were many hurried pedestrians on the street, with impatient expressions on their faces.
After exchanging a glance, they said goodbye briefly and left in their respective hovercrafts...
Polaris returned home, said hello to his grandmother who was watching TV, then rushed into his room, opened the sleeping cabin and lay down in it.

Buzz——
Polaris walked to the kerosene lamp with ease and read his character [Polaris LV115] in front of the full-length mirror.
boom!!
He suddenly felt dizzy.
A familiar and holy female voice rang in my ears:
"At the end of January in the solar calendar 4423, Jackspeight, the vice-chairman of the Council of Generosity, summoned the immortal strangers to launch a full-scale counterattack in the depths of the spirit world, intending to eliminate the source of the dark pollution in one fell swoop..."
Polaris recognized the voice as that of the Sun Princess Annatrixul.
When he opened his eyes again, the new version of CG images came into view.
dark……
Endless darkness.
Countless swarms of insects swept in from the horizon, and in the front, a thin golden figure stood in front, raising his broken sword and swinging it horizontally.
when--
The white light was accompanied by a scorching air wave, and countless Didak insect people died tragically.
Polaris discovered that this was exactly what happened at the end of darkness.
He even saw himself on the podium from an over-the-shoulder perspective, with members of the Polaris team, other high-level players, congressmen, and circus officials standing beside him.
Anna's voice as narrator continues:
"The source of the turmoil in the spirit world, the ancient god, the father of darkness, Distdak, had a world-shaking battle with the guardian Jiaoyang at the end of darkness..."
The scene changed.
The dark figure with three heads and the golden figure with iron wings fought fiercely, the light was wanton, and the harsh sound waves shook the screen.
At this moment, there is a sudden close-up of Jack who is on the edge of the battle.
His face was calm, and an infinity symbol appeared in his deep eyes under the brim of his hat. The black card in his hand flashed by.
The dark figure was immediately cut into countless pieces, and then restored to its original state. The crystals around it took advantage of the opportunity to rush in and cover it.
Jiaoyang took the opportunity to transform into an incomparably tall goat-headed god of war, raised the golden-red beheading sword and chopped down, cutting the human form of the Father of Darkness in half.
boom!!
"With the help of Jackspeight, the Father of Darkness was killed, the pollution was destroyed, and the world's disaster was eliminated..."
The black star hanging in the sky shattered, and the picture shook continuously.
Polaris watched the CG silently. Even if he just reviewed it again, it made him feel excited.
But at this moment, he suddenly frowned.
As the narration changed the topic, Anna's voice became cold:
"However, the dragon-slayer eventually became a dragon... After the Dark Father's death, Jackspeight, the initiator of the counterattack, failed to overcome his inner desires and chose to inherit the power of the Dark Father..."
Polaris looked surprised.
In the picture, he saw two black illusory substances flying out of Jiaoyang's hand and falling into Jack's hand.
A giant golden dragon flew out from the shattered dark planet and landed in front of Jack.
Jack then touched the dragon's head with his hand.
"The world is once again facing the danger of destruction, and this time, it will be even more dangerous..."
Anna's voice rose.
In the picture, Jack is wearing a black top hat. Under the brim of the hat, his handsome face is revealed with a pair of extremely deep eyes.
There was a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Jackspeight, who has mastered a new power, has become the master of the spirit world. He is also the Cang Yi King of the new era!"
Polaris's expression gradually became shocked.
The screen was filled with dense comments, all of which were "WTF".
"Jack is the final boss?!"
"Oh my god! Oh my god!"
“Braise, brag, brag, brag!!”
"That prophet, come out here, I'm going to kill him with a knife!"
"The savior in the previous two versions, now you tell me, he has become the villain?!"
boom!!
The scene changed.
Jack's black, slightly curly, medium-length hair danced wildly in the wind. He wore a rusty iron crown on his head, and a pale cape fluttered on his shoulders. He held up an ivory scepter, looked solemn, and shouted:
"I am the man of destiny!!"
Buzz——
The screen went black.
When Polaris opened his eyes again, he found himself back on the streets of the royal city.
He was unable to come back to his senses for a long time and maintained an expression of disbelief.
Jack's voice still echoed in my ears.
"Teacher Jack is the final boss..."
