Chapter 1 [Rebirth]
Zhang Yang turned over and sat up, looked at the surrounding environment, and couldn't believe it for a moment.
"This is……"
The yellowed walls, ticking clocks, green plastic Clivia in the corners, and the sheets with hairballs underneath them, and the pillows with a smell of sweat...
"Is this my home five years ago?" Zhang Yang's eyes widened, picked up the phone with the broken screen beside the pillow and looked at the time above, then came to the window and looked at the few hazy figures on the road. There were also the outline of the park that was less than 50 meters but was buried in the smog. Then he sat on the chair.
"February 1, 2072, it was indeed five years ago. Did I be reborn?"
Zhang Yang was a little dazed. He clearly remembered that he led a team to challenge a big boss who crossed the era in the "world". Then he was forced to cut off the Internet and was dragged back from the "world". When the game door in front of him opened, a bright knife was aimed at him, and then, there was nothing else.
Looking back now, the person who killed him, although wearing a baseball cap and a mask, could still see a pair of sunken eyes and blue eyes, and was obviously a European and American person.
"I was careless, but since I was reborn, this thing must not happen again." It was not wasted for long, but Zhang Yang accepted the reality of rebirth. Living is better than death, right?
Zhang Yang was alone, and his family was not hungry after eating. This old house was his only property. Not long after I remembered, he sold the place himself. Now, when he was in the old house five years ago, Zhang Yang was a little dazed for a moment.
After calming down, Zhang Yang got up and put on his clothes, put on a mask, took out his electronic ID card and went out.
He did not appreciate his room well. He did not have that time or mood. The "world" will be beta tomorrow. To be precise, the "world" will be beta globally at 12 o'clock tonight. As a rebirth, he naturally knows the preciousness of time.
After going downstairs and following the memory, Zhang Yang couldn't help but sigh.
Environmental pollution is getting worse and worse, the weather is becoming more and more impermanent, and animals and plants are decreasing every second. As today, when visibility is 50 meters, it is already a luxury weather in a few years. Apart from a small area between the north and south poles, there is no place to survive. Fortunately, the underground city system is gradually improving, so that humans will not dare to go out.
I walked down a square entrance and walked down nearly a hundred meters. The flow of people gradually increased. The advertising information of market merchants changed on the curtain walls on both sides. The ceiling was a sky blue screen. Occasionally, a few virtual birds flew by.
When I arrived at the station, I took a few subway stops and then came to Bincheng's largest electronic market.
The news of the "World" public beta was only launched on major websites and TV stations on February 2, so at this time, it did not cause much trouble. Zhang Yang knew that once tomorrow, the news of the "World" public beta was released, the game warehouse would be hard to find. The game warehouse priced at 8888 was directly offered to 50,000 yuan in the black market, but it still might not be able to buy it.
In the last life, Zhang Yang entered the "world" only half a year later when the game warehouse was completely free. At that time, China, and even the entire Asian region, were just at the end of the Stone Age, while some areas in Europe and the United States had entered the Red Copper Age and moved towards the Bronze Age.
The lack of entertainment activities has led to the booming development of the gaming industry, which can be seen from the scale of the electronic market, customer flow, as well as various head-mounted somatosensory devices. However, today, the emergence of a game warehouse more than two meters long has become a star.
"What is this? It seems that the game warehouse equipment mentioned in the news just doesn't know what game it is."
"The game warehouse? It looks like a coffin, who dares to buy it?"
"What is the key game? If it is a garbage game, wouldn't it be useless for so much money?"
"It's probably a new company, and it's just like this in order to attract attention. Didn't the news say that the game warehouses of major game companies around the world are still in the R&D stage, and there is still some time before they go public."
"That's right, even if the game warehouse is available on the market, it's the same as the helmet, so it's definitely not going anywhere."
In the center of the first floor of the electronics market, a white translucent game warehouse was lying there. Apart from a few guardians, there were dozens of people watching, including men and women, middle-aged people, and teenagers. Looking at the sign that was priced at "8888", everyone shook their heads and discussed.
Gao Fa stood on the side of the game warehouse with panda eyes and felt a little bored. After graduating from high school half a year ago, he had not been admitted to college. He finally got his wish and was immersed in the game as he wished. He played for half a year until his parents no longer provided living expenses. He had no choice but to help his family, so he had to find a job.
Gaofa’s wish is to make money by playing games. Although his family has a good underground vegetable cultivation plant, he has spent tens of thousands of dollars in the game in the past six months, which is completely different from his initial idea.
"Don't I have the talent to play games?" Gao Fa often asked himself this in recent days, and even had the idea of giving up.
Today, an unknown manufacturer rented a central stall in the electronics market for a month. As an employee of the electronics market, he was unfortunately arranged to come here to take care of him instead of demonstrating popular games from major manufacturers to the girls in the game demonstration area.
The emergence of this game warehouse did not raise much interest. As an employee of the electronic market and a veteran game player, he knew that the current game manufacturers had such eye-catching things in the past. Compared to girls wearing bikini, this is already low-key. At least if there are girls next to him, he will not be bored and angry. But then again, if there are girls, it is not his turn to come here to take care of the booth.
"I don't know if Zhang Yang is in the game now. He has been jealous of that boss for a long time." Gao Fa thought in his heart, and his eyes were dark, standing alone in front of him.
Gao Fa was about to let the man stand back habitually, but he saw the man's face, half of his face with a clear water horn, and slightly scattered hair. Although he was wearing a mask, he still recognized the little boy at a glance. It was just inexplicable. Gao Fa felt that this kid seemed a little different from before, and his eyes seemed to be a little sharper.
"Zhang Yang? Why are you here? Could it be that you took the boss to show off? Tell me quickly, what good thing has exploded?" Gao Fa glanced at Zhang Yang's eyes, and then asked with a smile.
"Come here, I have something to say to you." Zhang Yang murmured, then took the lead in coming to a corner next to him and took off his mask.
Gao Fa was stunned for some reason, and still said to his colleague next to him, then crossed the crowd.
"What's wrong? " Gao Fa came to Zhang Yang and asked in surprise.
Zhang Yang rarely has such mysterious times. Although this kid is serious, Gao Fa knows that Zhang Yang still has a little devil in his heart and always likes to go straight.
Zhang Yang retracted his gaze to the game warehouse, and whispered: "Faogao, I got news from foreign hackers that a global game will be launched tomorrow, and the connection device is to use that game warehouse." Zhang Yang nodded to the game warehouse that was lying quietly on the ground not far away, and then continued: "I am very optimistic about this game. It is said that it was developed by the United Nations. I am ready to switch to the battlefield. Come with me, let's make money together." Zhang Yang patted Gaofa's shoulder and pinched it hard. Gaofa became a little fat, and his shoulders were full of fat. After pinching, it felt very touching.
Although Zhang Yang knew more insider information, he couldn't say much. Although he knew that Gaofa was one of the first players to enter, that was only half a month later. Compared with Gaofu, who entered the "world" on the first day, the difference is still quite different.
"United Nations development? Are you right?" Gao Fa was a little confused when he heard Zhang Yang's words. The United Nations had nothing to do, so he actually developed a game?
Zhang Yang nodded: "To be precise, it is the game led by the United Nations and jointly developed by the five permanent members. This is a message obtained by a foreign hacker hacking a US server, and it is very credible."
The high-fat eyes are getting brighter and brighter. If this is the case, then there is no need to worry about the prospects of this game. Which company can compete with the country?
"Even if it is true, the game warehouse is too expensive. It's nine thousand oceans, which is my monthly salary of one and a half months." Gao Fa's face collapsed. He was in a difficult period of economic development, and it was not easy to take out nine thousand yuan at once.
"Faocao, now the game warehouse in the United States is out of stock, and someone has a black market price. Do you know how much?" Zhang Yang stretched out a finger: "Ten thousand, Mijin."
"Damn." Sure enough, Gao Fa unconsciously swears when he heard this number.
No matter how high his estimate of this game is, he would not have thought that a game warehouse that is used as an access device would actually sell for 10,000 yuan. That would be 50,000 or 60,000 Chinese coins, is it crazy?
