My Player 2

Chapter 420 New Generation

"This time, the winner is—"

The roulette wheel on the big screen froze, and the host, forcing a tired expression, cheered to the audience below:

"Number A216!"

Below the booth, a boy dressed in Japanese style screamed excitedly and walked onto the stage under the envious gazes of the audience.

The host, holding up the unopened holographic helmet, pretended to be very interested and said:
"Wow, he's a handsome young man! Such a good-looking guy, can you tell us what you plan to do after entering the game?"

"I...I am a..." The boy, still unaccustomed to the stage, stammered a little due to nervousness, "Actually, I'm a determined senior student!"

After uttering the first sentence, he seemed to have gained some confidence, and looking at the floor, he said loudly:

"I look down on those idiots who play Rongyuan games, haha, Rong juniors, you didn't expect such a precious opportunity to play would fall into my hands, did you?"

"Aren't you guys angry? I'm taking this opportunity during the live stream to announce—"

"My master has betrayed us!"

"From now on, I will be the most filial junior brother Rong!"

The host resisted the urge to facepalm.

She simply couldn't understand, much less accept, the abstract culture of young people.

She glanced at the time without making a sound; there were still three minutes until the next program.

In other words, I have to talk to this abstract, divine being for another three minutes.

I really want a raise...

"Hehe, it seems this student is quite excited. Apparently, a brand new Star Ocean gameplay mode has just been introduced in the game world."

"Do you dream of traversing the stars?"

The young man, holding the microphone, paced nervously with small steps, but did not answer.

His abstract speech had exhausted all of Mouse's courage. He felt his heart racing and couldn't hear the host's questions anymore.

There are so many young people like him.

Eighteen or nineteen years old is the age when reaction speed is the fastest and energy is the most vigorous.

It was their involvement that gave the struggling game a second life, creating a vibrant and youthful community atmosphere.

The terms "Master Scholar" and "Junior Scholar" were all created by these young people.

In fact, there is no such thing as "Master Jue".

However, most of these young and energetic players are not yet qualified to play "Rongyuan".

They play "Desperate Expedition Online," an old game from the last generation, just to get a chance to win in the "Glory Expedition Online" lottery.

Below the stage.

Looking at this group of colorful, extraordinary people, Li Yuan already regretted bringing her daughter to play.

She couldn't imagine the mess and changes that would occur when this group of walking hormones entered that world.

After this wave of new players invades, make sure to keep Little Red away from them.

The daughter sat in the front row, arm in arm with her mother, occasionally turning around to look at the young people cosplaying behind them.

Many of these cosplayers are her peers, and some of her classmates also enjoy doing this.

But she comes from a single-parent family and is much more mature than her peers. She knows that this circle is chaotic, so she keeps her distance from it.

Finally, the awkward transition that made you want to dig out the two-bedroom apartment with your toes came to an end.

The next program on the main stage will feature top streamer "Amuxiao" leading the newcomers who have just won the qualification to experience the world of the game for the first time and appreciate the customs and culture of this other world.

Given that the game is played at an exaggerated 8x speed, live streaming is obviously not feasible.

So they started experiencing it a long time ago.

What's playing on the big screen now is a high-quality edited version.

"Amuxiao," sporting his signature middle-aged man appearance, greeted the lucky individuals who had just finished customizing their characters on the birth platform in the Divine Realm. "Newcomers, welcome to the Initial World. I will now guide you and show you the wonders of this world."

These 20 newcomers to the game all exude the unique energy of youth.

Some people were touching themselves, some were taking off their pants to check for themselves, and some were even taking out weapons and unleashing their skills—all of them were filled with curiosity.

For some reason, their behavior was exactly the same as when the veterans first logged in.

But it just gives off a youthful vibe.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, "Amuxiao" snapped his fingers, pausing the new players' time, and then loudly repeated himself.

This time, someone paid attention to him.

"Hey, you beast, does the initial world have a name?" a young man asked.

As expected of young people, others call him "Xiao Chu" online, but "Xiao Shen" when they meet him in person.

He dared to call me a "beast" to my face.

Veins bulged on Amu Owl's forehead, but he maintained his fake smile and answered:

"It doesn't have a name yet."

"What a world is called depends on how other worlds perceive it. We veteran players have discussed it, and the name that received the most votes is—"

"Tyra."

"Terra again?" another young man complained. "It means 'earth' in Latin. Hasn't this name been overused?"

"Amu Owl" shrugged.

He thought the name was good. The players already referred to themselves as Terra, so even if these newcomers weren't satisfied, they couldn't change anything.

Too lazy to argue with the newcomers, he continued the conversation:
"As for us immortal players, we also have a general name for ourselves."

"That was a natural disaster."

"However, we are too weak right now, and no one is willing to acknowledge this name yet."

The newcomers' response wasn't enthusiastic; they had only just arrived in this world and weren't yet very interested in the collective honor of the players.

Seeing this, 'Amu Owl' stopped chatting and gestured for the divine realm behind him to enter.

"Everyone, seeing is believing. Let's leap into a new life together."

With that, he was the first to jump.

An upward airflow slowed his descent, allowing him to glide down from the highest point of the divine realm.

Most of the daring newcomers followed suit and jumped off the cliff, but several others hesitated before jumping.

So true.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a "future game from three eras later".

The fear of standing thousands of meters in the air can be almost perfectly replicated.

The newcomers, who had been instinctively scared off, saw the guy who jumped and glided through the air screaming, and quickly followed suit.

Even if it's incredibly realistic, it's still just a game; they only experience 30% of the game's sensory experience.

"Open your eyes, everyone!" 'Amu Owl' commanded from the air, "Look at the world!"

In mid-air, the crowd grew accustomed to the wind and calmed down from their extreme excitement.

In the sky, an inverted cone-shaped town floats among the clouds, and the teleportation gate in the center of the town emits a dark purple glow.

Above ground, emerald-green jungles form the backdrop of the earth, while ring-shaped coral islands float on the glassy sea.

Mineral deposits in the icy plains emit white smoke, and oases in the desert resemble stars.

This is the world of "Glory Expedition Online".
