() In a car repair shop with an inconspicuous appearance, Lin Xu, who worked silently, was busy with the task at hand, changing the tires of a seemingly new coupe. His hands were full of oil stains, and he quickly twisted the plate with both hands.
This kind of work happened day after day, whether it was a hot summer or a winter with freezing hands and feet, Lin Xu was doing the same repetitive things as now, with nothing new.
He is twenty-five years old this year. After graduating from college, he did not find a decent job, so under the introduction of relatives, he came to the repair shop here to find a job. In the first year, he was a clumsy apprentice, working every day.
The master serves tea and water just to learn some skills and make some money with this skill.
But now, he has become a master and can solve some car problems dutifully, so he has said goodbye to the past situation of being called around by others.
Lin Xu is a somewhat introverted person. He doesn't like to communicate too much with others. Sometimes others are smoking and chatting, but he is alone in the corner reading e-books on his mobile phone. This makes him seem out of tune with other colleagues, and also
As a result, I often don’t take him with me when I eat.
Walking to the pool at the edge of the repair shop, turning on the faucet, Lin Xu rinsed his oil-stained hands with clear tap water. Although he was wearing gloves, the oil stains would still seep through.
Rubbing it back and forth with soap, the oil stains were barely removed. After wiping it with a towel, Lin Xu returned to the seat he built with several tires and sat down.
Although changing the tire just now was not a big job, twisting the plate and the bent pipe back and forth was still a bit difficult for his arms. After all, he is very small and even a little thin. This kind of physical work is very challenging for him.
Taking out his mobile phone from his pants pocket, Lin Xu saw an unread text message. He quickly opened it and entered the text message bar, only to find that it was an advertising message sent by a certain merchant.
""Lightspeed" is officially open to players all over the world on May 30th! The first real-person racing racing game allows you to say goodbye to the boring online games of fighting and killing, and come to the world of overtaking with passion and speed to feel the excitement.
The racing scene, and the immersive sense of breakthrough..."
Lin Xu smiled. He often received this kind of advertising messages. In 2027, online games with real-person perception have become a hot industry all over the world.
Because the pressure in real life needs to be vented, and because everyone lacks substantial entertainment space, these sensory games that make you feel like you are in another world have replaced private time.
In the five years from 2022 to 2027, due to the birth of real-person perception games, some online games with upgrades to fight monsters have made many people rich in the game world, and these wealth can also be applied in real life. So many people
Popular online games have attracted young people who are frustrated in reality and have made the virtual world unprecedentedly prosperous.
But as time has changed, five years have passed. At first, a group of people were rich, but the unprecedentedly popular online games have slowly moved towards a path of decline, because most people are tired of playing, killing and upgrading violent equipment.
Online game.
Although there are an endless stream of real-person perception games developed with huge sums of money, there are no masterpieces that can really resonate with everyone like they did five years ago...
Lin Xu took a look at the online game called "Light Speed" on the message. Although it is still some time away from the official opening on May 30, it will always appear in major forums and news.
name.
It is said that the company of this game, "Emperor Shield", invested tens of billions in the early development alone, and spent more than one billion in promotional expenses. It can be said that this is an online game that has been brewing for a long time.
Lin Xu was usually not interested in games that involved killing monsters and leveling up. Even though his colleagues around him were playing them, they could not move him under the influence.
But for some reason, Lin Xu actually became very interested in this online game called "Light Speed", not only because many people were looking forward to it, but because there was a feeling pulling him.
...
After get off work, Lin Xu took off his greasy work clothes and put on his usual clothes. He said hello to a few colleagues who he could talk to. He took the bus and went to the repair shop not far away. Go to the 'Emperor Shield' store far away to buy the extremely popular "Light Speed" perception helmet they are currently selling.
As soon as I got off the bus, I saw a long queue in front of a specialty store. Most of them were young people who wanted to find fun in games and escape from the constraints of reality.
There were noisy discussions and people queuing up in small groups. Most of what everyone talked about was related to this game. Everyone’s excitement was written on their faces. It seemed that what was mentioned on the forum was that everyone was interested in this game.
The expectations are not entirely the hype of game companies...
Lin Xu glanced at the time displayed on his watch, glanced at the long queue, and sighed helplessly. It seemed that he would spend all his time after get off work today waiting in line.
With nothing to do, Lin Xu began to pay attention to the topics discussed by the young people in front of him.
"I heard that the speed of light is just a map development for the game, so it took several years and invited many designers who specialize in game development to jointly study it." A high school student who looked a little thin said to his companions who were queuing up to buy helmets.
said.
After hearing this, my companion asked curiously: "The forum said that many of the maps in this game are designed based on real runways and mountain roads."
"Well, not only that, the subsequent high-level maps are said to allow you to experience a immersive dreamland beyond human understanding." The skinny high school student replied with anticipation.
"By the way, I heard that many drivers in professional leagues are also very concerned about this game." My companion said with some complaints.
The monkey-thin high school student: "It doesn't matter. It's said that people who can't drive can also play this game. It tests the player's operational ability, as well as their nervous and physical coordination."
"Body coordination ability?" His companion looked at him in astonishment.
The skinny high school student smiled proudly and said: "Yes, just like real drag racing, the "Light Speed" helmet we are queuing up to buy now is said to use the latest virtual perception technology, which can use our perception ability and body's
Data is used to embody the real feeling of driving a racing car in the game. In other words...our ability to move in reality will be brought to the game."
"But what should we do if we are inflexible?" my companion asked in embarrassment.
The high school student shrugged: "I can only swipe pictures, come up with racing suits that increase body flexibility, and also have some power fruits!"
Lin Xu heard the conversation between the two of them word for word. Although he had already used his mobile phone to search for some information about the game "Speed of Light" on the Internet, he did not expect that there were so many things to say.
"It's really interesting." Lin Xu stood in the long queue. It was difficult for him to become interested in something, but once he became interested, he would persist to the end.
Because deep down he has a stubborn and unwilling personality!
