Chapter 342 The eve of online game prosperity ([-])

At 10:6 pm on October 3th, the sixth day of the National Day holiday, in a residential area in Zhangjiang High-tech Zone, Shanghai...

Li Yehua feels that he is quite lucky. When he graduated from university last year, several companies sent notices to pass the interview. Among them, the two so-called Internet companies with relatively high salaries, that is, building a website circle The money kind.Of course, Li Yehua was not aware of these inside stories at that time, and he didn't know how to do it. In the end, he chose a foreign-funded company to do business consulting. Looking back today, how wise his original decision was. A few classmates couldn't stand the temptation of high salaries and joined those Internet companies. As a result, when the Internet bubble burst, those classmates had to look for jobs again, but he could get a monthly salary of 4000 yuan. Have a good time in Shanghai.

Li Yehua is a travel enthusiast. He used to fantasize about traveling all over the country and seeing all the famous scenic spots. Now that his wallet is full, he finally has the financial strength to realize his dream.So during this year's May Day, Li Yehua dragged his suitcase to participate in a five-day tour organized by a travel agency in Xi'an Terracotta Warriors, Yan'an, Famen Temple, and Huashan. Unfortunately, this trip left him with no good memories.

Maybe it’s because there are too many people traveling during May Day. No matter which scenic spot Li Yehua goes to, what Li Yehua sees is crowded scenes. When he wants to take a photo, he finds that there are basically people blocking him. When I walked around, I found that there were people everywhere. Even when I was in Huashan, it took me two or three hours to queue up to take the cable car up the mountain, and it took me less than half an hour to get to the top of the mountain.The itinerary along the way is very tightly arranged by the travel agency. You have to get up before dawn every day. It is often dark when you arrive at the accommodation. The three meals a day are like fighting a war. You come in a hurry, in a hurry Busyly wiped out the almost unchanging food on the table.When he returned to Shanghai, Li Yehua couldn't remember exactly what he had watched in the past few days.

So during the seven-day National Day holiday, Li Yehua gave up the idea of ​​traveling again. He felt that if he really wanted to go out in the future, he must not go with a travel agency group, otherwise the trip would become a march, and he must not choose the National Day If you go out during the long holidays such as May Day, or else you will not see the scenery but the people.

Since he couldn't go out to play, Li Yehua decided to find something else to kill time. A friend recommended an online game "Legend" to him, so he started playing it during the National Day break.Li Yehua is a person who pays attention to planning when doing things. On weekdays, he is used to making daily arrangements before starting to act. This time playing games is no exception. After some planning, he set three time slots for himself Come to play games, respectively from 10:12 to 2:4 in the morning, from 9:12 to [-]:[-] in the afternoon, and from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the evening, so that he can leave some time for himself to read books, check information on the Internet, do housework and so on of.

Today is the sixth day that Li Yehua started playing the game. With the help of his friends, his archer "Liuguang" has been upgraded to level 23, and he has joined the Jianghu sect "Shenjianmen".Now he basically does martial arts tasks in the morning every day to accumulate some experience and money. In the afternoon, he mostly goes to practice leveling with his friends, and at night is basically PK time. Maybe it is because people come at this time, so Most of the upright gang battles and those sneaky PK melees in the suburbs of the city took place at this time.

Li Yehua is not interested in things like PK. The main reason is that when he participated for the first time, he was unfortunately hanged up a few times. Not to mention losing some experience, the equipment he managed to save was also smashed a few times. For him, it was a heavy loss. Of course, the main reason was that he had played "Legend" for too short a time.But as a man introduced by a friend, he can't decisively escape at this time, so even though Li Yehua misses the safe cities provided by the game very much, he can only bite the bullet. While shooting dark arrows, he secretly vowed to find a safe place to stay at night next time, and never get involved in such a dangerous business as PK.

Li Yehua also played stand-alone computer games before, and he even rewarded himself with a "Dream Box 128" after he became a white-collar worker in a foreign company. Under normal circumstances, only one or two people can play, and he doesn't like to go to places like Internet cafes to join in the fun, so he often enjoys the fun of the game alone at night.After playing online games like "Legend" these days, he found a new kind of fun that he couldn't feel when playing the game alone. When you run out of ammunition and food, and there is not much blood left, someone will lend a helping hand to you, replenish your blood, and give you a few bottles of medicine. For example, when you are in a bad mood, be safe with your friends The district chatted casually without hesitation, gossiping, joking or something.

In Li Yehua's view, online games are an enlarged version of real ICQ, which can facilitate communication with friends, and also play games by the way, but the PK is a little more.Perhaps it has something to do with Li Yehua’s experience of playing stand-alone RPG games and his love of traveling. In fact, he is more willing to explore the game world. If he can invite three or five friends to travel around the corners of the game and explore the mystery and unknown contained in it, That will be a more interesting game experience for him, but his level is not high enough now, and he can't go to many places, and sometimes he goes somewhere, but unfortunately meets PK.

Now there are only two words in Li Yehua's mind, "upgrade". Only when the level is high, can he go to many places. Only when the level is high, will he not have to worry about encountering PK.

At 10 pm on October 6th, Dafangjia Hutong, DC District, BJ City...

Xiong Taotao drank the last bit of iced tea in the plastic bottle in his hand, threw it on the ground casually, then pushed open the wooden door in front of him, and walked into the origin Internet cafe that he often visited.Recently, Xiong Taotao has become a frequent visitor to Yuandian Internet Cafe. Whenever he gets off work or rests, he will come to play for several hours.

Xiong Taotao is from BJ, and his family asked someone to help him introduce a job in a firefighting equipment sales company. He thought it was a relaxed and decent job, but who would have imagined that the most he does every day is carrying dozens of kilograms of firefighting equipment to the building Moving upstairs and downstairs, what hurts his self-esteem even more is that he is 1.7 meters tall, but he is not as good as those women in the company. Every time he sees others moving the same heavy fire-fighting equipment to the fifth floor, he does not breathe In a big way, he has a feeling of shame.

With a lot of work pressure, he will naturally find ways to find a way to vent, so by chance, Xiong Taotao found the original Internet cafe in Hutong. The dark Internet cafe in the area was more refreshing, so he walked in.

Xiong Taotao still remembers that it was at the end of August, when he came to Yuandian Internet Cafe for the first time. He originally planned to play two sets of "StarCraft" online with others, but unexpectedly met two people who are now friends, Tang Sheng and Shen Ming , the two guys were playing a game he had never seen before, and he later learned that the game was called "Legend".

"What kind of game is this?" Xiong Taotao asked stupidly at that time.

"MMORPG, massively multiplayer online role-playing game!" Tang Sheng, who was playing the game, said casually, and continued to control his character to chase and slash at the monkey on the screen.

"What's so fun about role-playing games? It's better than playing StarCraft."

After finishing speaking, Xiong Taotao turned around and was about to go to the owner of the Internet cafe to start a machine, but his clothes were suddenly caught by someone, and there was a voice: "If you haven't played it before, just talk nonsense!"

"What's the matter!" Xiong Taotao turned around and asked, relying on his own size.

"You can play it if you have the ability!" Tang Sheng, who was holding Xiong Taotao's clothes, said dissatisfied.

"Just play, whoever is afraid of whom! But this is your treat!"

"Please, please!" After finishing speaking, Tang Sheng waved to the owner of the Internet cafe, and shouted, "Brother, turn on another machine, and it will be mine."

That day, Xiong Taotao really didn’t spend money in the Internet cafe in the end, but after leaving the Internet cafe, he still invited Tang Sheng and Shen Ming to a nearby restaurant to eat ramen with meat, ten skewers of mutton skewers, a large Lamb kidneys and a few bottles of beer, because he found this "Legend" really fun.Since then, Xiong Taotao has become a frequent visitor to Yuandian Internet Cafe, and Tang Sheng and Shenming have also become his friends. The three of them often fight in the world of "Legend". Participate in PK.Among the three, Tang Sheng trains as a swordsman, who is the main force of the attack every time, Shen Ming trains as a swordsman, often serving as a human shield to block the enemy, while Xiong Taotao trains as a white-robed Taoist priest, who is responsible for adding blood every time Added support, because Tang Sheng and Shen Ming were dubbed "Daddy".

As soon as he walked into Yuandian Internet Cafe, Xiong Taotao saw that Tang Sheng and Shenming had already played there, and seeing the two guys yelling, the situation was quite intense.He came behind the two, patted Tang Sheng on the shoulder and asked, "What's the matter?"

Tang Sheng looked back, and said: "Oh, the boss of Fenghun is summoning the gang, today we are going to have a good fight with the 'Iron Blood Brotherhood', hurry up and log in, we still expect you to increase blood, grandma dad!"

"That's right, that's right. Daddy, without you, we won't be able to find our way in life." Shen Ming was also talking on the sidelines this time.

"Dizzy, can you stop calling me Daddy, it's too ugly." Xiong Taotao said angrily while sitting down in front of the newly turned on computer next to him.

"Then why don't you call me a nanny?" Tang Sheng asked with a playful smile.

"Forget it, it's not as good as a baby daddy!" Xiong Taotao gave up, and if he continued to talk about it, it might turn into something even worse, so he simply didn't raise any opinions.

"Come in and go directly to the southern suburbs of Jicheng, coordinates xxxxx: xxxxx, we have already arrived there." Seeing that Xiong Taotao had already selected the characters, Tang Sheng instructed.

When Xiong Taotao looked for it according to the coordinates, he only saw that the whole screen was full of people. He had never seen so many people in a certain area at one time, even worse than the last time he had a big scuffle with the "Iron Brotherhood". Sometimes it will be several times more.

"What's going on, why are there so many people today?" Xiong Taotao patted Tang Sheng on the shoulder and asked.

"It seems that the two sides have made an appointment to fight here. When you didn't come just now, the boss of Fenghun led a lot of people to clear the field." Tang Sheng explained.

Xiong Taotao understands what Tang Sheng said. In fact, it is not easy to think about large-scale PK in "Legend". The main reason is that there is no suitable place. The area near the big city of the system is too small. If three or 40 people melee is okay, If there are too many people, it is easy to run into trouble, either encountering refreshed wild NPCs, or falling into the alert range of the city guards. In short, it is not easy to have a good fight.For example, when "Wind Soul" and "Iron Blood Brotherhood" clashed for the first time, the scale of the fight grew bigger and bigger. Later, many people were attacked by NPCs in the wild and city guards. back.

Of course, if the guild is strong, it is not impossible to do large-scale PK. For example, like what "Wind Soul" and "Iron Blood Brotherhood" did this time, choose a place where the NPC strength in the wild is not strong and far away from the city. Clear the field once and start fighting again. Even if the wild NPCs are refreshed, it won't cause too much trouble. After all, the wild NPCs don't have the perverted strength of the city guards.

While making preparations, Xiong Taotao adjusted the inventory, changed the equipment in his hand, and asked, "When will the fight start?"

"It was six o'clock at the beginning, and it's still close..." Tang Sheng turned his head to look at the wall clock on the wall, and continued, "Five minutes, it should be soon!"

"Oh..." Xiong Taotao nodded, and turned his gaze to the screen in front of him. Looking at the dense crowd above, he could only feel a chilling atmosphere rushing towards his face.

……

At 10 o'clock in the evening on October 6th, Huayuyuan Community, XC District, BJ City...

After dinner, Qing Muchuan opened the "Legend" client and logged into his account. The screen went black and then slowly lit up again. The white-robed Taoist "Linchuan Muyu" appeared in the game. At the same time , A large blockbuster call-in order appeared on the gang channel, calling on the brothers of the "Iron Blood Brotherhood" located near Jicheng to rush to a certain place in the southern suburbs of Jicheng immediately, saying that there was a gang war with the "wind soul".

Qing Muchuan, who has no interest in PK, has moved his birth point to Yicheng in the southwest area a few days ago. According to the agreement between the "Iron Blood Brotherhood" and "Wind Soul", the gang war between the two sides must not affect the southwest area. It is not special here. The reason for this is not to attack each other, otherwise both parties will chase and kill her in the whole server, so she can play the game quietly and according to her own ideas in this southwestern place, instead of fighting to death every day when she goes online. Fortunately, some time ago "Tang Maomao" and "One Sword Shaking Kyushu" who played together also came here, so that she would not be too lonely.

This afternoon, Qing Muchuan has already made an appointment with "Tang Maomao". In the evening, he will invite a few people to explore Fanru Mountain, which is five screens away from Yicheng. There is a mission they have to go to. It is said that a hermit living in the mountains can be found there, and they must obtain an item from the hermit before the mission can continue.

After contacting "Tang Maomao" through private chat, Qing Muchuan replenished some supplies, and then rushed to the meeting point of "Tang Maomao" to talk about - the Furulai Restaurant in the west gate of Yicheng, where except "Tang Maomao" With "One Sword Shocking Kyushu", there are two guys who have met once, one is an archer named "Liu Shui Ruqing", and the other is a swordsman named "Tang Zhan".

After exchanging a few pleasantries, "Let's go" said by "Tang Maomao", everyone walked out of the west gate of Yicheng and started to head towards Fanru Mountain...
