Chapter 1: Welcome to the virtual world
"If he can live, then the future will be rewritten by him. The secret of this game is to compensate his parents. Now, it's time for us to hit the road. ”
In the cold wind of a snowy night, two men in snow-white overalls dumped a baby in a slum. Under the light, a blue glitter can be seen on the baby's neck.
The two men then injected a tube of blue potion into their necks, and it only took a minute for them to die peacefully.
The corpse quickly dissolved.
Eventually, the one who knew the secret disappeared, and if the baby survived, no one in the world would know it again.
At the same time, the latest game that has been heavily sealed in the Far Tech Building has also been opened.
Eighteen years later, the Third World, a slum, a dilapidated hut.
Long Xiao, male, 18 years old.
The right side of his neck often itches, so Long Xiao always raises his hand to scratch it. If it is in the night light, you can see a very inconspicuous dragon pattern on his neck.
It was also because of this dragon pattern that the old man who picked him up gave him this name.
Now Long Xiao was looking at a newspaper seriously.
"The virtual world is a fantasy world that 100% simulates real people. Eighteen years into the Ultimate Games Company, the company is now available for pre-order game storage, each for only 9. 9 gold. Don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, hurry up and call the order number......"
"Your sister! Ninety-nine thousand yuan, why not grab it. ”
Now the world has been divided into three levels, and under the high technology, the earth's crust is perfectly used, and the population has skyrocketed, and the number of poor people has increased accordingly. Hierarchies are also clear. The Third World is synonymous with slums. He lives under a fluorescent lamp all day long and has never seen the sun.
And the gold coins in the newspaper are not metal gold, but gold color banknotes.
At the same time as the world is united, the currency is also unified. Wherever it is, three colors of currency are used, gold, silver, gray.
The exchange rate is 100 between. It is generally said that one dollar is a gray coin.
This special color paper has a particularly high anti-counterfeiting ability, and no one can break it, so it becomes rigid and circulating.
However, one gray coin can buy the nutrient solution needed for a day, and when converted, one gray coin is equal to one dollar, one silver coin is equal to one hundred, and one gold coin is equal to ten thousand yuan.
99,000 yuan to buy a game warehouse, it's really idle.
Touching the only two silver coins and a bunch of gray coins in his pocket, Long Xiao gave up the latest game safely. He was just a pauper, and he simply couldn't bear it.
It's a pity that these two legs can't stand up again. After all, this surreal game pod can directly connect to the brain, at least in the virtual world, he can find a trace of fun standing up.
Since eight years ago, Long Xiao's limbs have been in various conditions, and finally, his two legs have been abolished.
Now he can only hang under his body shriveled and shriveled, and can only rely on nutrient solution every day to make a living, becoming a representative of the disabled in the slums.
The old grandfather who picked him up has long since passed away, and in this era of rapid technological development, as long as you have money, you can do anything. But if you don't have money, you can only die in disgrace.
In desperation, Long Xiao had become a waste, so he had to receive food from the extremely poor mouth at the window every day, that is, three snot-shaped nutritional paste for one dollar. Packed with all the nutrients, but without a bit of flavor.
The low-level guarantee is 300 gray coins per month.
By the standards of the Second World, three hundred gray coins would not be enough for a cup of coffee.
But as the disabled and the poorest people at the bottom of the world, this is Long Xiao's only income.
"If I have 99,000 yuan, I'd rather go and change two good legs, how can I buy a game warehouse? If it weren't for the fact that this game would make me a cripple earn some living expenses, what would I have bothered to do? But the high price blocked my last road. ”
Lying in a room of only five square meters, Long Xiao always felt that life was full of despair.
Helplessly, he took out the dilapidated computer he picked up from the garbage heap and continued to immerse himself in the two-dimensional world. Only here he will not be discriminated against, he will not become different from others.
Three days later, after glancing at the time, Long Xiao knew that the virtual world would be open in one minute.
"Hey."
Gloomy took the network cable and continued to plug it into the broken computer. But at this time, his mind suddenly fell asleep, and he saw that the dragon pattern on his neck suddenly brightened, and the arm holding the net cable instantly produced a blue pattern, which went straight to the dragon pattern on his neck.
"Hello dear players, welcome to the virtual world!"
