There were still ten minutes left before the connection time. After Wang Tianping had solved all the personal problems that needed to be solved, he lay on the bed and put on his helmet. After confirming that the wireless connection between the helmet and the computer was successful, he turned on the helmet switch and closed it.
eyes.
Not long after, with a soft beep, a magnificent scene appeared in Wang Tianping's eyes. Countless mechas of various models were galloping across the vast plains, with various light and shadow effects.
And the battle scenes made his blood boil.
After watching the opening animation, Wang Tianping's vision went dark, then changed to a scene of infinite void, and a naked Wang Tianping himself stood in front of him.
"It's really awkward to observe your body from all directions at 360 degrees." Wang Tianping complained in his heart while turning around to observe himself.
Because body information is obtained directly through the helmet, forgery of gender is eliminated. However, the body, appearance and voice can be modified. However, Wang Tianping has always been confident, and after looking around, there was nothing dissatisfied, so he passed directly.
Because the battles in the entire game are through mechas, and you can only go to some virtual cities without mechas, the game itself does not have physical attributes. You can choose when creating a character, except for the appearance and nickname.
Only the country it belongs to.
"Please confirm your nickname." The female system voice said.
"Wang Tianping."
"Please select the country you are loyal to." The female voice of the system reminded again.
At the same time, two options appeared in front of Wang Tianping, one was the Federation and the other was the Empire. Wang Tianping chose the Federation without saying anything. In the future, he would be a Federation pilot, and the so-called Empire was actually just an imaginary enemy.
, anyway, as far as he knew, from a few decades ago to more than a hundred years ago, mankind had only one government, the Galactic Federation, and naturally there was no hostile empire.
With this option selected, the character creation was officially successful. Wang Tianping only spent more than ten minutes. Then he had nothing to do, so he had to call up the opening animation he had just watched and watch it again, and then used it out of boredom.
The virtual helmet opened the official website of "Steel Frenzy" and started looking at it.
Originally, this one hour is just enough for most people, with not much surplus, because most people spend their time on building their body shape and appearance, and adjusting their voices. After all, everyone has various reasons why they don’t want to do it.
The true colors show, and after all, there are only a few people like Wang Tianping who are so confident that they are narcissistic and have no scruples.
At 22:22:22 on February 22, 2222 AD in the Imperial City, at this painful moment, the first ever online game "Steel Frenzy" using virtual technology was officially launched.
In conjunction with the previous publicity campaign and virtual technology gimmicks, nearly one billion people around the world logged into the game for the first time. At this moment, there was a scene of empty streets all over the world, and street shops were closed. If it were not for the support of the government,
Using the latest supercomputers, I'm afraid the server has long been overwhelmed.
The scenery in front of Wang Tianping changed again. After the surrounding environment stabilized, he found that he was wearing a camouflage training uniform and came to a place that looked like a training ground. In addition to some common equipment in mecha training, in front of him
, there is only one training mecha with only the minimum basic structure and cockpit.
Just when he was confused, the female voice of the system sounded again: "Please enter the cockpit of the training mecha and start the entry test. Only after the test is completed can you officially enter the game."
Wang Tianping immediately understood that this was a small screening process, and it was also a diversion process. Those with higher talents would enter the game one step ahead. This would not only be able to select some outstanding pilots first, but also relieve the pressure on the server.
….
Regardless of the entry test over there, Wang Tianping first followed the method explained on the official website and silently recited the system settings in his mind. His eyes flashed, and a light curtain appeared. Wang Tianping stretched out his hand and scratched the light screen a few times, touching the settings:
Ghosting, character information: public, system prompt: open, set these items first, and talk about the others later.
Next, Wang Tianping skillfully climbed along the squatting mecha to the chest cockpit, entered, closed the hatch, fastened his seat belt, turned on the main power supply, and turned on the power switches of various parts, all in one go.
Looking at the familiar virtual light screens, dedicated keyboards and control levers in front of him, Wang Tianping closed his eyes. After taking a deep breath, he slowly opened his eyes. There seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, and his feeling came back.
The introductory test is very simple, starting with the simplest in-cabin equipment operations, turning on radar, virtual light curtains, self-test and other equipment, and then basic operations, such as forward, backward, steering, sideways movement, running, jumping, etc.
Next, there is the comprehensive operation, which is somewhat difficult. Of course, for ordinary people, for Wang Tianping, this is just a warm-up exercise.
For example, a row of equally spaced iron pillars needs to be walked over like threading a needle. This is originally a comprehensive operation test of forward, turning and sideways movement, but Wang Tianping directly used the intermediate action of Z-shaped maneuver.
Another example is hurdles. A novice can only walk to the hurdle, then jump, and then continue to walk to the next hurdle, and so on. However, Wang Tianping directly used an athlete-like movement of running followed by continuous jumping.
It didn't take long for Wang Tianping to complete all the entry tests. The scenery in front of him changed again. This time, what appeared in front of him was a standard military camp. An NPC officer in training uniform stood alone in front of a row of huge hangars.
.
Wang Tianping looked at the NPC, and the name "Recruit Instructor Zhang Zheng" immediately appeared. Wang Tianping walked up to the NPC. Out of habit, he stood at attention, saluted with a military salute, and then said: "Report to the commander, recruits."
'Wang Tianping' came to report, please give instructions."
"Recruit instructor Zhang Zheng" also returned the military salute, with a satisfied smile on his face and said: "Welcome to the 0036th recruit training camp, and congratulations to you for becoming the first to pass the entry test and officially become a soldier.
Recruit."
"Although you don't have enough experience as a new recruit, the war situation is urgent now. The empire has actually dropped a large number of reconnaissance robots on the 'Seven Kills' planet where we are now. You can go to the bloody wasteland outside the camp and kill thirty of them."
Do worker bees' scout robots and bring back their core memories?"
There was a beep in Wang Tianping's ear, and then the female voice of the system prompted: "'Recruit Instructor Zhang Zheng' has issued you the novice mission of 'clearing out reconnaissance robots'. Do you accept it?"
Wang Tianping made a thought, accepted it, and then said: "Please leave it to me and I will ensure that the task is completed."
Zhang Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Go to the hangar to find 'Quartermaster Liu Kai' and receive a mecha from him. Then you can set off."
Following the instructions, Wang Tianping came to the hangar and found "Quartermaster Liu Kai." Liu Kai pointed at the four mechas behind him and said, "Choose one for yourself. Be careful when choosing. Once you choose, you want
Replacing it is very troublesome, so think carefully before making your choice.”
Wang Tianping was excited as he looked at the four mechas: the stealth reconnaissance mecha "Tracer", the fire suppression mecha "Arbiter", the stronghold defense mecha "Guardian", and the all-round mecha "Pilgrim"
", these four mechas are the ancestors of all mechas, also known as prototype mechas.
