Area A of Frost River Reality is always the busiest area. It may not have the largest number of people, but thousands of people are running and tumbling between the venues, and there are also cheers, screams, and noisy sound waves caused by a huge number of onlookers.
There was never a moment of lull.
This is the place where reality technology support is the most unscrupulous. Under the guidance of immersive equipment, players go from a city full of high-rise buildings and bustling traffic to the dangerous sea and wilderness in an instant. They struggle to escape under the giant mouth of the aberration, or show off.
Shenwei, in two-way hypnosis, achieves achievements, wins respect, vents emotions, and deliberately seeks abuse...but what he gains in the end is real pleasure.
Yes, pleasure is all you need to secrete dopamine. The experience may not be real, but people are so easy to deceive!
So, who doesn't like playing games?
In the lively atmosphere of Zone A, looking at the completely selfless players in front and behind, Ronan really couldn't say no if he refused.
Well, Ronan is actually itching in his heart. Virtual achievements, respect, etc., are meaningless to a person with abilities like him who has been on the line of life and death many times. However, being able to interact closely with friends still means a lot to him.
Very attractive.
Ronan opened his mouth and was about to agree, when Xue Lei said "Ouch" and slapped him on the shoulder. The punch was very hard, but it couldn't resist his annoyance: "Why are you hesitating!"
"Ah?" Ronan looked innocent.
"He's not wearing a helmet. Besides, what else do you expect from a rookie?"
Papercut didn't know whether he was speaking for Ronan or intentionally hurting him. Next, he explained for Xue Lei: "Just now, there were two simulator seats available at the Hero's Seat. Lei Zi wanted to grab the seat. You guys were just talking.
I missed it... Actually, it’s not that easy when thousands of pairs of eyes are staring at it.”
Xue Lei retorted: "I heard that the probability of grabbing a seat in a luxury package is several times that of an ordinary box. Maybe you can grab it?"
Hero seat? Probability of grabbing the seat?
It seems that he has heard of it, but has no definite impression. Ronan once again felt the deep malice of the normal world.
It was Tian Si who observed the situation and stepped forward to explain. The environment here was noisy and Tian Si spoke in a low voice, so he naturally leaned into Ronan's ear and made a kiss.
Ronan felt that there were hanging hairs scratching lightly on his cheeks and collarbones, and there was a slight fragrance secreting into the tip of his nose. If he didn't consciously feel it, everything would be soft and thin, as if there was nothing there.
It fits his aesthetic very well.
Therefore, Ronan felt quite comfortable physically. At the same time, Tian Si did explain the ins and outs of the relevant matters clearly.
The so-called Hero Seat refers to one hundred six-degree-of-freedom advanced simulators arranged in the center of Area A. These simulators are seamlessly connected with the players' wearable devices, giving them a more realistic experience while also supporting the players.
Make more bold moves without worrying about being injured due to over immersion in the reality.
In addition, these simulators have also been fully upgraded in terms of a series of controllability indicators, including accuracy, sensitivity, etc., giving them the upper hand in battles. Therefore, they are considered "hero templates" by players, and they naturally flock to them.
But the situation in Area A is like this. Thousands of players compete for a hundred seats every day, and the supply and demand are seriously imbalanced. For this reason, on the one hand, Frost River Reality has raised the consumption limit of these one hundred seats to the highest level. On the other hand,
It does not accept reservations or bids, and only conducts random flash sales through the system. At least it is open, fair and just in name.
As for the probability of luxury packages and ordinary packages, it is just a speculation among players, and the operator has never officially confirmed it.
Ronan stated his understanding: "So even if you want to play, you may not be able to play?"
Xue Lei sighed: "It doesn't matter if you don't grab the hero seat, anyway... Well, are you going to play or not?"
"Let's play, just lead the way." Ronan shrugged, put the semi-enclosed helmet in his hand on his head, and followed the paper-cut instructions to go to the game area on the association's homepage and learned the temporary guidance mode.
After a few rounds of operations, the mental induction was successfully integrated, no longer overstepping the control, and the immersion effect increased significantly. He naturally focused on the translucent panel in front of him, reading all kinds of real-time information about Area A, and scrolling through the screen.
At the same time, various AR effects in the surrounding areas have also been enhanced. The impression of a playground is getting weaker and weaker, and Ronan seems to have arrived in a dilapidated town filled with dust, with streets crisscrossed, various buildings lined up, and various
Bars, shops, and training grounds are hidden among each other, including the rusty gate leading to the outside of the town in the distance, which is also visible one by one.
Behind the rusty gate is the real battlefield, and where they are now is only a service area.
Xue Lei turned around and looked around, looking for the most suitable place to go in the complex and lifelike AR images: "If we can't grab the hero's seat, the rest doesn't matter, let's go...hehehe!"
While Xue Lei was shouting, Ronan saw an eye-catching blood-red message flash across the translucent panel: "Players, please note that seats 77 and 91 in the hero area are vacant..."
"Grab it!" Paper Cut shouted from the side.
Ronan subconsciously triggered it with his thoughts, but he soon realized that this was not Liu Er and Lingbo Net, and thought control was useless?
But the next moment, the image appeared on the translucent panel, the alloy dagger and the ferocious beast's limbs collided with each other, sparks were flying, and the passionate background music penetrated into the ears, and there was also a majestic male voice, there was a bloody battle:
"The cruel battlefield welcomes new heroes. Behold, the door to glory is opened!"
Ronan was stunned: "Here, did you get it?"
"Yes!"
Both of them have been surrounded by special AR light and shadow effects, and they can know each other's identity at a glance. Inexplicably, they both qualified for the "Hero Seat", and the "two heroes fighting for the position" achieved Get!
Paper Cut laughed loudly and pushed Ronan from the back: "How many old ladies have you helped to cross the street in the past two days? You lucky guy, hurry up, there is a time limit for the qualifications to compete for seats."
"Luck?" The probability problem is a mathematical problem, and it would be too rash to explain it by luck. Ronan is a person who likes to be more serious, so his brain suddenly shut down and entered an endless loop.
But Paper Cut pushed him forward, with Xue Lei leading the way, and the group walked quickly towards the hero area. Finally, amid a bunch of envious glances and sighs, they entered the relevant closed area.
At this point, Paper Cutting and Tian Si cannot enter, as they are blocked by the gorgeous projection screen wall.
"Get out of here, you damn lucky guy, let's find a place to kill time." Paper Cut laughed, slightly adjusted the position of his helmet, and asked Tian Si: "Does Miss Tian usually play the game Ten Days in the Wilderness?"
Tian Si was wearing a soft-armor sensor equipment, holding his helmet between his elbows. In the dim light of the game area, he looked somewhat dashing and heroic. She pursed her lips and smiled: "I also play, but there are more mobile game modes.
"
Paper Cut invited her: "I also like to play mobile games. Is there a strategy room here? Let's go play two games?"
Tian Si's eyes flickered. She didn't refuse but didn't agree either. Instead, she raised a new question. She imitated Ronan's title: "Brother Paper-cutting, my juniors and the others succeeded in competing for the position just now. Isn't it luck?"
Paper-cut said with a smile: "How could it be luck? They temporarily bound six ears, triggered them with their thoughts, and had the Lingbo Network to transmit and convert signals. It was like using a flash-kill plug-in. Who can be faster than them? This is the advantage of ability users.
.”
There were many nouns in the words, which were beyond Tian Si's cognitive scope, but it did not prevent her from understanding the general meaning. And because she did not understand, she couldn't help but imagine the mystery inside, and she was lost in thought for a while.
But she quickly came back to her senses and felt a little strange: "Then why didn't you say it just now?"
"It's not easy to get a surprise. Is it fun to be too real? Especially for Nanzi, if he continues to develop like this, he won't age before he gets old. There will be no problem at all in turning into a theoretical machine, don't you think?
"
Tian Si could only smile at this time.
Paper Cut invited again: "I just checked, the strategy room is over there, do you want to go?"
"I..." Tian Si only started, but found it difficult to continue. Because what she wanted to say, the so-called "strategy room" had nothing to do with it.
Paper Cut turned to look at her. Even through the semi-enclosed helmet, Tian Si felt inexplicably stressed.
At this time, the light and shadow on the projection screen wall showed the incredible fantasy force of the game heroes. The gorgeous effects and fierce conflicts caused players to stop and watch, and even cheered loudly.
This scene gave her fantasy and motivation: "Brother Paper-cutting, can I also..."
Paper-cut was wearing a helmet, so he probably didn't hear it, so he half-turned around and waved to lead her to the strategy room.
Tian Si wanted to amplify her voice even more, but courage is known for its strength, its strength, its decline, and its failure. In the end, the words remained unspoken. She was a little frustrated, looked back at the projection screen wall, and finally put on her helmet.
Leave behind the paper cutout.
Little did she know that the paper-cut walking in front also sighed: "After seeing the sky outside the well, how could I want to go back to the mud... But if you don't have the talent to jump out, if you think about it again, it's just...
It’s a disaster for yourself.”
With Tian Si's age and strength, it would be almost impossible to achieve results even if he took the path of physical strengthening, even with the guidance of a famous teacher.
As for mental strengthening... At first glance, it seems that he doesn't have that talent, let alone that.
Talent, talent.
Thinking about it this way, paper-cutting also feels boring. Isn't there an upright cultivation method in this world that starts from scratch, grows from small to large, and gradually accumulates steps to reach thousands of miles?
What is the foundation that these capable people rely on? Who can give them a clear answer?
Ronan's shadow suddenly flashed in his mind. Perhaps only this kind of freak with super talent and a devoted mind on theory can hope to break through the fog and point to the truth.
But such an existence is really unlovable. In comparison, even the vain and stupid Yue Zheng is more like a living person.
This is not good, very bad!
Although he is probably not qualified to comment, but from the bottom of his heart, Paper Cut really doesn't like this change.
"Tsk, I'm such a bitch!" Even though he kept laughing at himself, after taking a few steps, the paper-cutting still connected with people through his six ears.
At first he was going to choose He Yueyin, after all, he was the secretary. But then he thought about it again, Secretary He didn't seem to have too much human flavor, and at the level of truth theory, Ronan, who could lead people into mist at any time, said
Maybe he is already a head above "my own secretary".
As soon as this thought came to mind, Paper Cut changed the contact person, but as expected, only the prompt tone "Please leave a message if you have anything" came from the other side.
"We're in again." Paper Cut shook his head, and honestly translated his thoughts into words and transmitted them, "President, I want to ask you something about Ronan's child's personality..."
After Ronan entered the hero area, he found that the area where the simulator was placed was like a maze. He quickly separated from Xue Lei under the leadership of the AR guide.
But soon, a dialogue window lit up on one side of the translucent panel, and Xue Lei's real-time avatar appeared, allowing you to talk to him. This is a group privilege enjoyed after entering the luxury package. The only people outside the package are the old people.
I sent the message honestly.
"Nanzi, let's not go into the battlefield. Let's build a room for fun first."
"Okay." Ronan was a standard rookie, and he felt a little guilty when he was asked to immediately enter the most explosive and chaotic real-life battlefield. Xue Lei's plan was exactly what he wanted.
As soon as they made contact, his and Xue Lei's "good luck" began to ferment rapidly, and avatars appeared one after another. Some were instant messaging, and some sent messages.
Mo Peng: Shit, starting from last month, I have grabbed a hundred rounds...
Robbio: Let's go play colorful ball later. Maybe we can make back the expenses tonight.
Mo Han: Do you feel it’s a waste?
Tian Si: Well, I just saw this function, come on.
This experience, which was comparable to winning the lottery, spread quickly in the small circle. Soon, people including Ruan Zihui, Tong Hui, Qiu Peipei and others sent congratulatory messages. Even Yue Qin and Turner were in an awkward position.
I said a few polite words to express my congratulations.
Of course, there is no need to count on Yue Zheng or anything like that.
When Ronan walked to the Hero Seat No. 91 he grabbed, he was actually a little disappointed. Although Xue Lei and the others explained this thing in such a brilliant way, from the appearance, it was different from the fully enclosed maglev in the VIP room.
Cabin, there is not much difference.
Well, bringing the VIP room experience to the public area may be a trick.
Ronan started to connect the data with the help of the guide. He was already familiar with it. About thirty seconds later, he received Xue Lei's invitation, and the scenery in front of him immediately separated from the reality of Shuanghe and turned into a similar
A high square platform without barriers in the arena.
"Isn't it a wilderness?" Ronan was very surprised. This kind of battlefield setting was too lazy.
"Who says it's not the case? There are several fighting arena scenes in the wilderness. This is the 'Fire Hill Life and Death Arena'. It's super famous, okay?"
Xue Lei appeared in the ring. Among the four categories of standing, dark blue, distortion, and fantasy, he chose the most realistic "standing" human hero. Under the real-life effect, he was wrapped in an exoskeleton, but it was
Take it off piece by piece.
Seeing this, Ronan felt very ominous. After a moment of confusion, he suddenly excited and blurted out: "Change the venue..."
"Why go to all the trouble? Let's do it this way! Choose the standing human heroes, fight in close quarters without armor, and let's practice Sanshou." Xue Lei clenched his fists impatiently, laughing, "It's a happy decision!"
