Chapter 1409 Extra (3) A glimmer of hope
After evening classes, Xu Yunxi returned to the dormitory, not caring about filling his hungry stomach, and hurriedly took out the Universal Authentication Talisman, activated it, and asked his three roommates: "Can we play? Can we play?"
Zhang Congyue lowered his head, with phantoms rising in his eyes: "Okay! That's okay! We're all squeezed in!"
Today is the day for the official public testing of the large-scale virtual reality game "The Lord of the World" that has been promoted for a long time in the real world. I don't know how many people are waiting eagerly to try this supposedly epoch-making experience!
Many years after virtual reality technology has been widely used in martial arts training, there is finally such a game with the slogan of experiencing different lives. It was jointly developed by the Zhou Dynasty, which governs the three realms, and "Tianyi Pavilion", and can reproduce a brand new world. , detailed, as if real worlds of heaven and earth!
In this game, creatures will no longer be distinguished by race or status. Their identities and backgrounds will be assigned completely randomly. They can play most of the characters in "The Lord of the World" based on luck. They may be disciples of sects, descendants of aristocratic families, or... The suppressed demons and monsters can even become flowers and plants on the roadside, jointly supporting the evolution of this virtual world.
Xu Yunxi had everything ready and all he needed was Dongfeng. He stopped talking and was waiting to enter the game. Not long after, the light and shadow in front of his eyes changed, and the dormitory turned into a night sky dotted with bright stars. He stood in the center, like the core of the universe.
"The data is being read and backgrounds are randomly assigned. Please wait patiently." An indifferent and high-pitched voice sounded, easing Xu Yunxi's inner anxiety.
The days passed like years, and the short few breaths of waiting felt like countless hours to Xu Yunxi. The stars in front of him finally changed, and lines of text were arranged:
"Randomized to one of the highest difficulty backgrounds."
"In view of this, you can contact the customer service hotline of this game at any time to request guidance. The number is: XXXXXXX."
"Once the background is generated, players cannot change it until the character is completely terminated."
"After the character ends, the player enters the reincarnation system."
…
Xu Yunxi stared at these contents in stunned silence. He didn't expect that he would be assigned one of the most difficult backgrounds. Compared with most players, he looked different. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad luck.
The text was still gradually forming. Xu Yunxi withdrew his thoughts and concentrated on reading. At this point, he could only accept it if he didn't want to accept it, and see if he could make some fun out of it and become "the most respected person in the world"!
"Character background: The legitimate son of the Wang family in Jiangdong, the young head of the family, Wang Siyuan, nicknamed 'Counting all the people'!"
…
The starry sky suddenly shattered, and lines of text flew into Xu Yunxi's mind with a bright tail of light, transforming into a corresponding spectrum of relationships between characters.
Xu Yunxi suddenly woke up, turned over and sat up. He felt that his lungs were stuffy and his throat was itchy. He couldn't help but cough violently. The cough was heartbreaking. It was an experience he had never experienced in his life.
A copper basin appeared in front of him, with dots of bright red splashing inside. Xu Yunxi came to his senses and looked at the maid next to him in astonishment. She looked delicate and elegant, with a face full of love: "Master, are you having another nightmare?"
Young Master? Only then did Xu Yunxi realize that he had entered the game "The Lord of the World", and exclaimed in his heart that it was indeed the first large-scale interactive game in virtual reality, but it actually made him unable to have any false feelings.
With a thought in his mind, he called up the light screen menu, and after confirming that he could exit, Xu Yunxi frowned slightly, feeling sad, happy, and confused.
According to the previous introduction to the setting of "The Honorable One", the identity of the young head of the Wang family in Jiangdong is so prominent and noble. From the very beginning, he can learn the peerless series of exercises "Suzhou Sutra" and control one of the most powerful treasures in the early stage, "Luo Luo". "Book" complements the practical accumulation of the disciples of his own "Ghost Valley Academy". Such a background is simply "easy to level up" for future development. Where does the highest level of difficulty come from?
Is this body inherently weak?
"Hey, Young Master, the Sutra Sutra is too powerful and can reveal all the secrets of heaven. Naturally, you will suffer from the jealousy of heaven, and you will be weak and sick, and your life span will not be more than half a century. But as long as you can achieve the Dharmakaya before then, you will naturally turn death into life and break free from the shackles. "The maid sighed.
It seems that this maid is not played by a player, but belongs to the "newcomer guide" mentioned in the previous promotion. She is explaining more details to me... Well, it is a bit difficult to become a law body and die at fifty. If I don’t have the Dharmakaya, why should I play this game? Xu Yunxi suddenly understood, his mind calmed down, he coughed twice and said:
"Bring me a bowl of something to soothe my throat."
"Yes, sir." The maid walked to the side and opened the food box, already prepared.
Xu Yunxi looked at the maid's respectful performance and felt that he could not hide his joy. The identity and background assigned to him could crush 99% of the players. He would definitely be in the limelight and enjoy himself in the future. The so-called highest difficulty was completely acceptable. .
"ah!"
At this moment, a shrill scream broke out, like the darkness deep in everyone's heart, which could evoke all violence, ferocity and madness.
Xu Yunxi couldn't help but shudder. He was more frightened than when he encountered a ghost. It was a purely instinctive reaction.
"What is this sound?" he blurted out after the screams disappeared.
The maid sighed: "Sir, are you sick and confused? Our ancestors of the Wang family, as long as they have achieved Dharmakaya, they will scream before sitting down, as if they have encountered something extremely terrible, and, moreover, it is said that they will turn into evil spirits. "
Ah, you will die at fifty without becoming the Dharmakaya, and after attaining the Dharmakaya, you will be cursed and never end well? Xu Yunxi's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of despair filled the air.
It’s really the highest level of difficulty!
Although it doesn't seem to matter to the player that he will not die a happy death, he always feels scared and fearful!
In the next few months, in addition to practicing martial arts, Xu Yunxi has been addicted to the game "The Lord of the World", trying to carve out a chance for his identity as "The Prince". However, no matter how hard he works, how he struggles, how he deduce, He couldn't even see the dawn of hope. There seemed to be chaotic and crazy dark red raging in front of his eyes and in his dreams, despairing and depressing.
"Didn't Yuanshi Tianzun of Yuxu Palace say that everything has a glimmer of hope? While it's still early, let's ask the dedicated customer service for advice." Xu Yunxi dialed the dedicated customer service number with frustration and low mood.
After a short wait, he saw a light curtain appear out of thin air, reflecting an elegantly decorated quiet room. Inside was a chessboard, covered in black and white. Behind the chessboard sat a man in white who was as beautiful as a girl, with all his hair, sitting on his knees. Frost, and her face seemed to lack color.
"Do you have any questions about Wang Siyuan's background?" the man in white asked with a faint smile.
Why does this dedicated customer service have such an extraordinary temperament? Could it be that he is a senior member of Tianyi Pavilion? Moreover, isn’t it Wang Siyuan’s label to be beautiful, beautiful, and weak? Xu Yunxi was full of doubts, but he still asked the question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time: "...It's like this. It seems like I'm in a dead end. No matter how I play, I can't get out? What should I do?"
"Can't you jump out?" The man in white picked up a black stone and seemed to be about to fall on the chessboard. But suddenly, he let go of his hand, and the chess piece fell like a meteor and smashed up, leaving the chess game in pieces. "how about this?"
how about this? Xu Yunxi looked at it and suddenly felt that the chess game had undergone countless changes, gained a lot of "qi", and had a strong sense of vitality!
"This... this!" He stood up suddenly, his face full of joy, "If you can't jump out, you will destroy the original chess game!"
He rubbed his hands together in excitement and joy, eager to immediately try to deduce the specific action of "smashing the chessboard".
At this moment, the man in white suddenly stopped smiling and asked:
"What if the action of 'smashing the chessboard' is itself part of the opponent's 'chess game'?"
Are you in the opponent's chess game? Xu Yunxi was stunned, his mind was in a blur, and he didn't know how to answer. He only felt a touch of sadness and loss in the other person's tone.
"Okay, let's stop here." Seeing Xu Yunxi's reaction, the man in white shook his head and was about to end the conversation.
Xu Yunxi woke up and blurted out: "I don't know what to call you?"
This is not like ordinary customer service!
"Call me?" The man in white smiled and coughed twice, "My customer service code name is 'A Chance of Life'."
A glimmer of hope? Xu Yunxi was confused and watched the light and shadow disappear in confusion.
