At around 7:40 p.m., Xiao Lan finally returned to her home in Haidian District, Beijing. She was tired and even seemed a little sluggish. The circles under her eyes were clearly swollen and there was a faint hint of black energy.
In order to wake herself up, Xiao Lan made a cup of coffee and put it on the coffee table. The quality of the coffee seemed to be good, and before long, the faint fragrance filled the entire living room.
His fingers were gently placed on the side of the coffee table. Xiao Lan, who had just left the university campus a few years ago, was sitting on the sofa like a severe asthma patient. He struggled to puff up his chest, took two deep breaths, and then used
His eyes, which always had a rather obscure meaning, quickly glanced at the entire room, and then turned back to stare at the black helmet-like thing on the coffee table.
There are only four hours left until the opening time of the new expansion pack of Legend of Moonlight. Should I enter or not? Xiao Lan picked up the coffee cup and took a small sip with a flicker in his eyes. He placed it on the coffee table.
The fingers on his hand were trembling slightly involuntarily, and it was obvious that he couldn't decide to pay attention at this time.
Speaking of Yuehua Legend, it is a landmark 3D large-scale role-playing online game. Five years ago, in 2020, its emergence immediately triggered a violent consumption frenzy. Not to mention that the sales of game helmets were out of stock.
Online and offline transactions are also emerging in endlessly. The enthusiasm of billions of players around the world has strongly boosted domestic demand, allowing many countries to emerge from the haze of the financial crisis since 2008.
At the same time, Yuehua Legend Institute created a new model for national government operation of online games, which has also affected the current new expansion pack. Six months ago, after a multi-national negotiation that tasted the benefits, it will continue to operate under the original model.
The first expansion pack of Yuehua Legend, but unlike those previous online game expansion packs, in the new version of Yuehua Legend, all players will start from scratch, and all the data of the original old version of the game will not be brought into it.
As soon as the news came out, the Yuehua Legend forum immediately exploded. Many guilds and studios expressed their intention to switch to the new expansion pack of Yuehua Legend. Although the operation team claimed that the old version of the game would continue to be operated, but the subsequent
Within the next three days, the number of online players still dropped by two-thirds, and many of the main cities in the game were much deserted than before. However, compared with the desertedness in the game, the official auction house was in full swing, and online
There are countless activities, what are they doing? Of course they are auctioning all kinds of top-quality equipment from the old version of the game.
It can be said that all friends and all enemies are gradually withdrawing from the virtual world...
"Boss! The text message is coming!"
Xiao Lan slowly took out his mobile phone from his body. The person who sent the text message was Xiao Lan's landlord. The content was nothing more than informing Xiao Lan to pay next month's rent.
Two years ago, Xiao Lan, who had just graduated from college, entered the nationally famous Shengjing Group because of her excellent grades. Although it was a probationary period, her monthly salary could barely cover the high rent in Beijing. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long.
With the company's business adjustment, marginal figures like Xiao Lan were laid off without any surprise. Economic issues suddenly became Xiao Lan's top priority.
No, in the past three days, Xiao Lan, who had been running around in major talent markets, was already exhausted physically and mentally.
Immediately open your online banking, and the four-digit numbers starting with 3 are instantly introduced to your eyes.
"If you work hard for another year, if it still doesn't work, then go back to your hometown in Shanxi."
After an ideological struggle, Xiao Lan at this time has decided to enter the new expansion pack of Yuehua Legend and rely on his own game income to support himself.
Although Xiao Lan has no idea whether he can take the path of becoming a professional player, Xiao Lan has inherited the Shanxi people's enterprising spirit of taking the west exit. As long as he makes up his mind, he will rush forward without hesitation.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, the alarm clock on the phone rang. Xiao Lan, who was already squinting while lying on the bed, sat up with a sudden jerk, then quickly walked to the living room to retrieve the helmet that had been prepared on the coffee table and entered the game.
A feeling of transcending time and space came, and the next second, the world in front of him suddenly changed drastically. The gorgeous 3D holographic effect deeply shocked Xiao Lan's heart. The success of Yuehua Legend was indeed justified.
The new version of the CG animation is released. The first thing that catches the eye is the empty wasteland shrouded in the night. A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the moonlight formed by the diffraction of water droplets or ice crystals in the clouds appears around it, forming colorful lines.
halo.
But this tranquility was soon broken. At both ends of the field of vision, the protagonists continued to appear. On one side was the dragon clan's team, which was mainly silver and golden. On the other side was the army of the dead, which was mainly black and purple.
A short and nimble berserker holding two swords, a tall and powerful ancient elephant with powerful eyes that can shoot powerful rays, a temple mage who carries a staff and drags a blue afterimage behind him, and a dark warrior wearing a blood-red cloak and holding a double-edged scythe.
, they gathered together and stared at the dark army on the opposite side. This lineup strongly demonstrated the power and domineering power of this team.
The dark army on the opposite side is not inferior either. The fragile but massive hellhounds, the slow-moving but powerful dark demons, and the inconspicuous but definitely dangerous necromancers all demonstrate the tyrannical strength of the undead army.
of vividly.
After a chilling sound of horns, the leader of the undead army appeared. Wearing a black cloak, a red skeletal horse under his crotch, and holding a green sword, the undead Duke gave an order, and the undead army marched towards the opposite side in a mighty manner.
Looking at the other side, the leader of the dragon army has also appeared, and there are five men, four women, and they are riding different mounts. Under their leadership, the dragon army also launched the final charge against the undead army.
At the moment when the leaders of both sides unsheathed their swords, the scene was frozen here forever, as if this exciting moment was to be preserved forever.
As the picture gradually changes from color to black and white and finally to complete darkness, the next step is to officially enter the game.
"The iris scan is completed and the game terminal has been officially bound to you."
Immediately afterwards, the character design interface was displayed. As for the player's facial features in the game, the game gave two options. One is exactly the same as the player's in reality, and the other is based on the player's facial features in reality.
Then he made certain adjustments as the basis. Of course, Xiao Lan chose the latter without hesitation. Considering that he wanted to be a professional gamer in the future, Xiao Lan thought it would be better for others not to recognize him.
In the old version of Yuehua Legend, there have been many incidents that resulted in tragedies due to in-game disputes.
Directly defining the character's outer seconds as 100% change, the system gave out as many as 20 change plans after 5 seconds. It seemed that Xiao Lan finally chose a face that he thought was the most ordinary.
"Alas! With such an appearance, I'm afraid it will be difficult to attract those girls in the game." Xiao Lan sighed, but for his own goal, he still clicked OK resolutely.
"Please choose your profession."
Five different images were immediately displayed in front of Xiao Lan, a brave and fearless warrior, a strange and agile assassin, a magician with various skills, a cunning and agile archer and a self-sacrificing priest. Each of them looked so powerful.
, each one deeply attracts players to try it.
"I chose assassin, I really don't like the others." Xiao Lan is a person with a strong personality, and it is reflected in the game that he has a strong preference for certain professions.
Although the warrior is rough-skinned and thick-bodied, his head-on approach is not in line with Xiao Lan's character. He is the kind of person who likes to think, and defeating the enemy by strategy and tactics is Xiao Lan's favorite.
Although archers have extremely strong long-range firepower, they seem helpless once others get close to them.
As for mages and priests, Xiao Lan simply ignored them. The feeling of being unable to use skills after emptying mana was really intolerable to Xiao Lan.
"Please enter your game ID."
Without any hesitation, Xiao Lan filled in the four words "Chasing dreams without regrets" in the input box. This is quite in line with his current state. For the goal in his heart, he will move forward bravely without regrets.
After the preparations were completed, everything in front of him turned into nothingness. When the screen changed again, Xiao Lan had arrived in a bustling novice village. Looking at the time, a series of preparations actually took nearly an hour. At this time
The novice village is already crowded with people, and all the players are like paparazzi holding long guns and short cannons (weapons in their hands, of course) and wandering around the few NPCs. After five years of experience in the old version of Yuehua Legend,
Everyone is deeply impressed by the intelligence of the game's main server Dongfang-3. At this time, they are trying every means to find out from the NPC how to quickly upgrade.
"Young man, I have a difficult task here. Are you willing to challenge it?" A hoarse and low voice sounded. Xiao Lan looked around hurriedly, but what surprised him was that all the NPCs were like stars.
How could you possibly talk to him when you were surrounded there?
"Don't look, I'm right at your feet." Xiao Lan was so frightened that he jumped out quickly, but still didn't notice anything strange on the ground.
