Chapter 1 The long-awaited World of Warcraft
"It's so comfortable to not have to go to work..."
Mu Tao opened the curtains, looked at the bright sunshine outside the window, and sighed sincerely.
It has been a long time since he slept until he woke up naturally like he did today.
Just yesterday, he had just finished his last job and had made an agreement with the company where he was changing jobs to join him next month.
Therefore, he now has a full month of vacation at his disposal, and he can do whatever he wants.
In normal times, Mu Tao would definitely use this month to travel, walk around and fully appreciate the magnificent scenery of the motherland.
However, now there is another magnificent world in front of Mu Tao, waiting for him to explore.
Today is August 26th, and tomorrow, August 27th, 2019, is the day when the much-anticipated World of Warcraft Classic server will be launched.
Mu Tao has long been eager to enter this strange yet familiar world.
It's strange because Mu Tao has never really played the game World of Warcraft.
I say familiarity because Mu Tao has read a complete set of World of Warcraft chronicle novels in his spare time. Not only that, but he has also read many World of Warcraft fan novels, so he is familiar with the important characters and main plots in them.
I can’t remember exactly how I first learned about the game World of Warcraft. Mu Tao only remembers that it was when he was in junior high school. He heard that to play this game called World of Warcraft, you need to spend money to buy something called a point card.<
/p>
Unfortunately, his pocket money at the time was not enough to support this expense, and the classmates around him all played Dungeon and Fighter, so he could only keep this name in his heart.
In high school, my classmates all played CrossFire.
In college, all my classmates play League of Legends.
He finally graduated, but his busy work schedule prevented him from taking time to travel around Azeroth.
In addition, he often visits various game forums, and he also knows that as the versions change from generation to generation, the game World of Warcraft has gradually fallen from the altar and has lost its former glory.
This made him sigh.
I haven't started playing yet, why can't you do it? Just be stunned!
But at this moment, a piece of news came that made all the old players excited. World of Warcraft is going to open a classic server! Return to the vanilla era of level 60, let everyone start again!
Mu Tao couldn't hold it any longer, and just in time for a window of opportunity to change jobs, he decided not to go anywhere this month, but to play World of Warcraft Classic at home!
Fulfilling a dream I had when I was young.
Sitting at the computer desk, Mu Tao pressed the power button, opened the browser, and entered the Azeroth National Geographic Forum.
The National Geographic Forum of Azeroth, commonly known as NGA, is currently the World of Warcraft-related forum with the highest traffic and popularity in China.
After reading the game guides posted by netizens in the forum for a long time, Mu Tao stretched and stood up. It was almost time for lunch.
The moment I stood up, tragedy happened.
When Mu Tao put his hand down after stretching, he accidentally knocked over the water glass on the table.
Not good!
Mu Tao quickly grabbed the water cup, but it was already too late. Most of the water in the water cup had already spilled onto the computer case next to it.
"Buzzing..." There was a noise from the fan immediately. Mu Tao quickly went to cut off the power, but was a step too late.
"Zizzi..." There was an obvious sound of electricity coming from the chassis, followed by a muffled sound.
He watched helplessly as two wisps of smoke floated out from the chassis.
At the same time, the monitor flashed twice and the screen went black.
Mu Tao numbly disconnected the power supply, fell to his knees, raised his hands in the air, and shouted sadly to the sky: "No!!!!"
This is a newly configured computer that I specially configured in order to play World of Warcraft Classic Server. How come it died in battle less than a week after I got it home!
Why can’t I control my hands!
With the idea of doing his best and obeying fate, Mu Tao carried the computer case to the balcony. The sun was shining brightly at noon in summer. It would not take long for the water in the computer case to evaporate and dry out. He just didn't know how much could be saved.<
/p>
After making a random scrambled egg with green pepper and filling his stomach with no taste, Mu Tao then found the screwdriver set, went to the balcony, and took apart the casing of the computer case.
He was ready to face the miserable world, but the scene in front of him stunned him.
The motherboard and various circuit connections in the chassis are all as clean as new, with no signs of short circuits at all.
Mu Tao looked carefully for a long time, but he didn't see where the smoke was coming from.
"It can't be so unlucky, it will burn the CPU..." Mu Tao muttered and took off the CPU.
But the CPU is intact and looks like new.
"That's the graphics card?" He put the CPU back in and took out the graphics card.
The graphics card is also intact.
"Mechanical hard drive?"
No problem.
"It's weird... I saw smoke just now, could it be my hallucination?" Mu Tao shook his head. He didn't think the green smoke he just saw was an hallucination, but now he really couldn't find any problem.
There was no other way, so he installed the case again, moved it back to the bedroom, and reconnected the power cord.
"The worst thing is to get a new one." He thought to himself, and then pressed the power button.
With a "beep-" sound, the computer starts normally.
There were no abnormal noises, no sparks, and no explosions. The computer really started up normally.
Mu Tao scratched his hair, sat on a chair, opened the Battle.net client first, then opened the small website and watched the strategy video, and started a game of League of Legends human-machine battle.
There is really no problem at all, it is as smooth as before, and even...Mu Tao vaguely feels that the current computer is faster than before.
"Damn it, wasn't it just ordinary boiled water that I sprinkled on it? It was holy water blessed by an eminent monk? Otherwise, why would this computer seem to be turned on?"
Mu Tao breathed a sigh of relief. It would be great if the computer wasn't broken. It wouldn't delay him from competing in the World of Warcraft Classic server as soon as possible tomorrow.
I went to the forum for a while again.
As the server is about to open, there are a lot of active guys in the forum. Some are posting to find their former comrades, some are calling for a team to PK together, and some are stirring up trouble...
Some people swear that MC’s goalkeeper will block players for two months...
MC is Molten Core, the first large-scale team copy that players come into contact with in World of Warcraft, and the door gods are the two monsters standing at the door when they first entered the copy.
Mu Tao, a newbie, could only watch the old players fighting each other in the lane without daring to say a word.
In the evening, Mu Tao made a meal of tomato scrambled eggs as usual, then went downstairs for a walk. After returning home, he simply washed and tidied up, turned off the computer, watered the plants, and went to bed early.
Chapter completed!
