My Player 2

Chapter 4 Before the Server Opening

“Expedition is going to release a nostalgic server.”

"real or fake?"

"Really? This game is almost ten years old. It's time to release a nostalgic server to help old players earn more gold."

"It's boring. This kind of MMORPG is more boring than going to work in the later stages. You can only play for gold when the server is open, and be a slave for a few days to earn some pocket money."

"I guess there's no chance this time. The pre-order requirement for the nostalgic server is to be at level 200 on the official server. And I heard that after the pre-order is successful, the character data of the official server account will be deleted."

"It seems that you can't cancel the reservation after booking. Friends in the group, please don't click rashly."

In an apartment in Jinghai City, Blue Star.

Qian Peng replied with a question mark along with a bunch of repeaters, then closed the "Little Anchors Keep Warm Together Group", opened the official page of "Desperate Expedition OL", and stared at the three words "Booked" in a daze.

When he learned that "Desperate Expedition OL" was going to have a nostalgic server, he clicked on the reservation immediately.

God knows it's such a scam!

After the reservation is successfully made, the character data of the official account will be deleted.

And it cannot be cancelled!
He has equipment and props worth more than 300 million in total in his account!

Although Qian Peng said that he had quit, his level 200 Time Palace Knight, relying on the time stop without pre-swing, had completely merged with the duel arena and became the underlying logic of the duel arena.

He still logs into the game occasionally to play a few PVP games for fun.

However, as a game anchor in a stand-alone area, Qian Peng’s fans don’t like “Desperate Expedition OL”.

After all, the graphics of "Expedition" are too bad, with only movable block figures. What's more, this is a holographic game and can only be watched at three times the speed without a helmet.

But there is no way, because the "holographic simulation helmet" was not designed for gamers in the beginning.

Its main application scenario is office work, where programmers are forced to complete three hours of work in one hour. It is a cyber torture device used by capitalists to exploit workers.

Thinking of this, Qian Peng picked up the helmet on the table, with a look of love and hate on his face.

Before the emergence of Desperate Expedition OL, the price of holographic simulation helmets remained high, and basically only large companies would equip programmers with them.

However, after the public beta of "Expedition" and the revenue of tens of billions within a year, various holographic simulation games of varying quality have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

This also forced the holographic simulation helmet to completely turn to the sinking market.

Today's holographic simulation helmets do not require surgery or intubation. You can sneak into cyberspace by wearing them, and the price is very affordable, less than 2000 yuan.

But the price is poor performance.

According to the older generation of game developers, the best holographic games of this era are barely close to the level of "Greasy Senior Sister" in terms of graphics performance.

Because the holographic helmet not only needs to read the real-time data of the player's brain, but also needs to calculate the brain acceleration effect at 3 times the speed.

The resources that can be allocated to the game's operation can only be squeezed again and again.

This results in a slight improvement in image quality resulting in an exponential technological gap.

"Dead games" like "Desperate Expedition OL" that are only played by old people have long failed to attract young people of the new era.

In short, since the appointment cannot be canceled, the most urgent thing is to give the valuable equipment to a trustworthy friend.

It would be funny if I got picked!

After adjusting the parameters of the helmet, Qian Peng took a deep breath and logged into the game...

[Iris scan completed, Amu Xiao, welcome to the world of "Desperate Expedition OL". ]

【Data loading……】

[You have successfully reserved the first-come-first-served qualification for "Glory Expedition OL". Your account data has been remade. Please log in to the game again after 71:31:21. ]

……

In the office area of ​​an office building in the High-tech Industrial Zone, Jinghai City.

Lunch break.

Xiao Wang walked his office chair to Xiao Zhou's workstation and asked in a low voice, "The bald guy was called away by the boss just now. Is he going to be fired?"

Xiao Zhou immediately became interested: "Is there such a good thing? What has Baldy done wrong?"

"You don't know?" Xiao Wang was stunned.

"Know what?" Xiao Zhou was stunned. Seeing that Xiao Zhou didn't seem to be playing dumb, Xiao Wang looked around and then gave a hint:

"Suddenly a nostalgic server appeared, and our department had no information at all. This is a serious dereliction of duty."

"Oh, you're talking about this." Xiao Zhou waved his hand and said, "Just scold me and it will be over."

"How is that possible!" Xiao Wang said in surprise: "This is "Expedition"!"

Xiao Zhou shrugged, pulled out the folding bed under the table, and said, "You have to understand that the nostalgic server was suddenly created by AI, and our department is just taking the blame."

“What the hell, you mean AI can help companies make decisions?”

"This is a crappy company. There isn't even a single R&D position. All the game content is generated autonomously by AI."

"That's technically impossible!" Xiao Wang retorted, "AI can only generate materials of varying quality. The finished game must be manually pieced together!"

Xiao Zhou yawned:
"I understand, I understand. You want to say that our company has hired cheap contractors... Anyway, my salary is at the standard of a large company."

Xiao Wang said confidently: "The sudden emergence of the nostalgic server this time must have been outsourced by some leader, and they didn't even tell the headquarters, and they just acted first and asked for permission later."

"Brother, don't say anything you are not sure about." Xiao Zhou patted his folding bed and was almost about to order him to leave.

……

"Who changed my recruitment letter?"

Li Li, with dark circles under his eyes, sat in the warehouse he had just rented. During his break, he looked through the information in the "mirror".

He had previously modified the website in the mirror and written a recruitment letter on it.

The content of the letter was very simple. It was about recruiting heroes from other worlds and asking them to help clean up the pollution in this world.

In return, he would copy the souls of people in the other world after they died, allowing them to be reborn in this world.

Although the cloned soul would have the small philosophical problem of the Ship of Theseus... the two sides were separated by a world after all, and this was the best condition he could offer.

However, the sincere recruitment letter only attracted a few thousand souls.

Until his letter recruiting heroes was changed by the official staff of the game's official website into a reservation for a nostalgic server called "Desperate Expedition OL".

In less than a few hours, more than 100,000 souls left their soul imprints on the website.

For Li Li, this is a happy distress.

He actually seriously considered disguising his world as a game.

In this way, the souls he summons will not have any moral constraints, and their destructive power will increase by several levels.

But who isn't a fool?

A real world and a man-made game world.

Can the details be the same?

Li Li intends to purify the entire world, a process that may take decades.

Maybe he can deceive the people of Blue Star in the short term, but he will be exposed one day.

By then, when the Blue Star people discover that the carnage they caused in the game was not caused by changing a few lines of code, but rather caused a real tragedy.

What would they think of themselves?
So, instead of planting a trust bomb that is destined to explode in the future.

Li Li chose to be honest from the beginning and make a two-way choice with the Blue Star people.

During the promotion, they said that their game was a game for beautiful girls, but after the server was launched, it was filled with little boys in shorts. Li Li would never do such a thing!

"Forget it, I'll explain it again after they come over." Li Li said to himself.

He had selected the ten brightest soul imprints long before the website was changed, and made an appointment to summon them ten days later.

At least these first guys who came here left their soul marks on the website after seeing his recruitment letter, so they probably wouldn't think of this place as a game world.

"There is still one day left until the agreed time..."

"The body I created can already respond to projections, but the sensitivity of the joints still needs to be adjusted..."

Li Li yawned and continued his work on transforming the Army of God.

The rent of this warehouse, as well as other supporting facilities, were all sponsored by Al.

In less than a week, he had emptied the savings of his own saint.

This put Li Li under a lot of pressure.

Although there was no expression on El's little face, her red and dark ring-patterned tail was no longer wagging.
