Volume 1 A New Beginning of Whitewashing
Whitewashed.
Zhang Qingyi looked at his character attributes, and he had returned to the novice state of level 0. equipment, no; skills, no. Well, a complete newbie, a newbie who is even more embarrassed than when he first entered the game, and there were a few pieces of newbie equipment at that time.
It turns out that it only takes one night to clear level 67.
Looking up, there was only a gloomy sky, and the wind was whining; Looking down, there are so many white bones that don't reach the ankles, and you can't see the end at a glance. A dark blue soul fire floated from the sea of bones, slightly illuminating the surroundings. As you can see, this is a place of darkness, horror, and the dead that the living cannot stay. The heavy clouds never seemed to disperse, like a giant, stubbornly and sinisterly hovering overhead, breathless.
And ...... for yourself
Qingyi raised his hand and looked at the bony hand, unable to tell what he felt in his heart. The wind blew through the ribs, like a harlequin chuckling. There was not a single piece of clothing on the body, so it was clearly visible: it was a skeleton, a skeleton that could move, and could look at the palm of the hand.
And there are countless skeletons walking on the sea of bones. is obviously the lowest-level skeleton soldier, but in his eyes, he has a green name, which means that the skeleton soldier and himself are friendly. The only people who can reach friendly relations with players are players and NPCs in the same faction! Did you go to the same camp as the skeletons?!
"What is this? It's a mess. "I don't even have the strength to scold, Zhang Qingyi went offline. After taking a cold shower, he still had nothing to do, so he sat back down in front of the computer and browsed the forum according to his old habits. Every word in the post is like a fly, flying around in the head.
Suddenly, the lower right corner of the display flashed, and it was a message from a friend.
Friends.
Qingyi felt a pain in his heart, and remembered that scene again - there were enemies all over the world, but he was the only one who guarded the dock. Blood-red sky, blood-red self.
He struggled to open the chat window.
"How's it going? Escaped, right? ”
"Dead."
"Alas, it's inevitable, after all, it's a 'doomsday confrontation'. It's just one level, right? A lot of unlucky people have dropped to level 0 and are desperately complaining. ”
"Why did you leave me behind?"
"Angry? Hey, I'm sorry, it's impossible to turn back as soon as the ship opens, and besides, going back is just going to die. If you think about it, it's better to die alone than everyone else, right? ”
It's clearly agreed that as long as you take a breath, you will be accepted and leave...... My stamina is all depleted, and my equipment is red to symbolize the durability drop to nearly zero, why haven't I seen you come back for two hours—two full hours?!
"Why did you leave me behind?"
"It's just a game, what do you really do?"
"You're right." Quack, he almost smashed the keyboard. "You're right, it's just a friendship in the game, what should I really do?"
"Hey, you're not going to be so stingy, are you? Do you know how to be a man? ”
"Goodbye."
Typing out these two words, Zhang Qingyi closed the chat window, chat software and computer in one go, and sat down on the chair for a while. Then a wry smile, then ...... Laughing.
Perhaps, I really don't know how to be a man.

What is the hottest word in this era?
"Qiankun"!
It's the first multi-country game, the first game to use a holographic helmet, the first to use an official currency exchange system, and the first role-playing game to be approved by the World Virtual Athletic Championship! The highest number of concurrent users is 200 million!
No, it can't be called a "national" game, it should be called a world-class game!
But just three days ago, the plot mission "Doomsday Confrontation", which shocked the world, suddenly opened and ended suddenly, causing an uproar after that. Someone counted that the war lasted only six hours. It's a catastrophe that no one could have predicted: otherworldly creatures sealed in the Antarctic continent swept the globe like marching ants, slaughtering players and NPCs alike. The servers of the countries that were originally connected to the first tournament were disconnected again, and players could not travel freely; The city is gone, and the potion supply points and equipment repair offices are gone; The gold coins stored in the system bank cannot be withdrawn, and the gold coins held do not know where to use them!
Because Qiankun has an official currency exchange system, a large number of game currencies have been exchanged for currencies of various countries for a while, resulting in the depreciation of currencies in various countries; Last night, the central bank announced that it would regulate the currency exchange of the "Huaxia" server, and pay a stamp duty of 3% for each exchange, which barely suppressed the momentum of inflation. Despite the fact that all countries have the first time* related regulatory policies, the situation is still quite unoptimistic, and the long-disappeared currency exchange black market has reappeared in front of players.
In addition to finance (securities, banking, foreign exchange trading), the impact of the "doomsday confrontation" on reality has also affected the media industry and the medical industry. Many media outlets followed up on the incident, forcing the game company to hold a press conference the next day to clarify the facts to players around the world ("It's all the system's own deduction, it's none of our business!"). "Words like that); The number of patients going to the hospital has increased significantly, most of which are due to mental illnesses caused by insomnia, visual hallucinations, auditory hallucinations and other "doomsday confrontations".
On the forum, all posts were titled "Ask the game company to roll back", but the game company took a very tough stance, claiming that "the game process is irreversible and can only compensate players for their losses to a certain extent". Originally, it was possible to call up the deposit data in the system bank, but in reality, the boss of the banking industry, the central bank, said that it could not be exchanged in the short term, and the player could only knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and accept some symbolic gold compensation.
And many players who fought bloodily in the "Doomsday Encounter" fell to level 0, which is a big thing that makes people sigh, and it is said that a few players who can't think of it have jumped off the building because of this. The game company attaches great importance to this point, and swore at the press conference and on its official website that it will load the latest templates and processes into Qiankun, and give priority to the experience of players with these levels cleared, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation. When asked specifically what the template and process were, the staff only vaguely said "new professions, new races, new ways to play" or something.

Zhang Qingyi is online again, and the scenery is still the same: the sea of bones that can barely reach the horizon no matter which direction you go, and the mountains that are only faintly visible in the far east, skeletons wander around alone and stupidly. No matter how you confirm it, this character is all clean and slippery except for the name "June Sunshine", and there is not even a pound of meat left.
This role can be regarded as a waste. But what's the matter, there's nothing to support itself anyway. He finally gave up and was about to quit and delete the character.
"Little one!" Suddenly, a voice rang out behind him.
