"Ah! Big brother is back, Xiao Hei, why didn't you remind me!" Illya, who had just buried her head, seemed to be distracted, and then she realized that the little friend next to her had left.

"Hehe, stupid Illya, you're out of your element, haven't you forgotten how to operate these devices again?" Chloe sneered. Illya seemed to be the typical person who would give back what she had learned.

Illya pursed her lips in pain, unable to refute, "Um... Big Brother, is this how the 'Spiritual Aether Body Reconstruction Cabin' is assembled?"

"Yes," Qin Xuan took a look. These large equipment are very sophisticated. The channel size is limited, so they adopt the form of batch transmission of parts. "From now on, these will be the 'resurrection points' of the 'players' and the place where they are born for the first time."

"Speaking of 'players', big brother, can I join in too?" Chloe held Qin Xuan and rocked him just right, the ups and downs bringing a warm friction feeling.

"Chloe, it's obviously not possible. - Move over."

Miyu happened to walk by carrying something, and Chloe pouted and let go of her hand to make way.

"I was just saying that."

Chloe also knew that the composition of this Spirit etheric body was very different from hers as a card servant. Player servants were said to start with a completely blank spirit base and grow by picking up experience through battles. It was said that the weakest level could only fight some young monsters.

Time passed quickly. The three of them and Qin Xuan combined the information they got from the investigation and thought that the 'original site' should not be too conspicuous, and it would be a waste to set up an all-weather concealment barrier. So Qin Xuan used magic to open up an underground space, which contained a modern-style interior environment. However, once they came out to the ground, they would experience the original style of BC, which was also a kind of disparity in the world.

"Alright everyone, disperse. It's time to prepare to 'summon players'."

------------

Shinji Matou's room.

At this time, Matou Shinji was waiting for the beta version of "Holy Grail War: Infinite Universe" to be released. When he tried to put on the helmet for the second time to experience the "version PV", he found a URL. After entering it, he found that it was a beautifully designed game official website. You can click on it to play the previous PV, but this is obviously not the "4D" version experienced through the helmet.

There was also a similar introduction to the Riddler on the official website, something like "The Adventers will bring change to the twisted world...", but there was no substantive content. He quickly skimmed through it and turned to the forum flooding area.

[Bli Idiot: Full virtual reality? What kind of cosmic joke is this game? There isn't even a decent 3D masterpiece right now.]

[Sticky Bean Bun: Actually, that's not necessarily true. Isn't it said that Academy City has virtual reality equipment? If our bureau's is real, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.]

[Wild Grass: It’s hard to say. I’ve seen the relevant ones. There’s no similar news from Tianming Entertainment, ETStudio, ME Club, etc. The recent projects of Anti-Entropy and Mikoyan are all about launching satellites. This virtual reality technology may not be authentic.]

There were all kinds of comments, and it seemed that someone had spread the link, which in turn attracted a group of onlookers.

However, unlike these people, Shinji Matou has actually experienced it for real. Compared with those who are half-believing and half-doubting and discussing it crazily, he has a sense of "superiority".

So a line of words was left behind.

[Please spare my life, Master Er: I am so happy. As someone who has already obtained a quota, I am telling you the truth. The internal test will be launched in a few minutes. Those of you who don’t believe me can wait to be slapped in the face! ]

After typing and taunting them, Matou Shinji didn't even look at their reactions and quickly put on his helmet.

In the pitch darkness, the countdown for the closed beta test of "Holy Grail War: Infinite Universe" is decreasing minute by minute.

When it returned to zero, a voice came:

【Please enter your name, limited to ten bytes. 】

"Second Master, please spare my life."

click-

After entering his ID, it was as if a bolt of thunder passed by Shinji Matou, and then the entire dark world lit up again.

Matou Shinji subconsciously climbed out of the Reiton Ether Body Reconstruction Chamber. The bright and clean walls and the shiny floor made him feel like he was in a freshly-made, dust-free room. However, he soon realized that something was wrong. "No, this is how I enter the game? What about the appearance changes? What about the gender and race settings? What about the novice guide? It can't be like this, right?"

Since Shinji Matou had experienced a PV, he was not shocked by the realistic environment around him, but instead complained about it.

"Oh my god! This light! This..."

A non-human shouting sounded from the side, and the male player who climbed out of the cabin next to him was seen dancing with joy, as if he was too excited by the realism of the game.

The next second, the man did something even more shocking: he began to lick the floor with his tongue.

Shinji Matou looked up at the top of his head, ID: The one chasing the madman.

"Hey friend, why don't you calm down, or have you never watched the advance PV?"

"Oh, sorry," the man chasing the madman restrained himself a little, "I was so busy with work that I forgot about the helmet. I didn't expect to be online as soon as I came in."

He also looked at Matou Shinji's ID, "Hey, Master Er."

"Yo, crazy guy."

"..."

Chapter 479 Players are coming!

Matou Shinji and the man chasing the madman didn't stay near the Reiton Aether Reconstruction Chamber for too long. It seemed to be just an independent small compartment with nothing else except equipment. The two tried to move the chamber out, but it seemed to be stuck to the wall and didn't move at all.

Considering that this might be their "resurrection point" later, the two did not move around. After they left, a much wider space appeared before them. The style was the same as the interior of the compartment, full of streamlined design, simple silver-white tones and bright lighting environment. In addition, there were many decorations or small devices that were made of materials that were hard to identify, like luminous glass, which had a futuristic sci-fi feel.

However, it is actually a mixture of Qin Xuan's own aesthetics and Ayuan's alchemy style.

The square was crowded with people, and there were about a few hundred people making a lot of noise. However, this number of people only occupied a small part of the space. In the distance, there were a large number of empty and unused "landing cabins".

It is probably left for a new batch of players in the future.

"Fuck, this game is too real!"

"Just after watching the PV, the closed beta was launched. So cool!"

“Such a sci-fi graphics card, ultra-realistic physics engine... the greatness of a completely virtual game needs no further explanation.”

"No, I haven't even watched the legendary 4Dpv yet. How come I'm jumping to the login screen?"

"Wait a minute, this game uses 1:1 real-life appearance and body settings for login? Have our bodies been seen completely by the official staff?... I'm going to sue this game for violating my privacy!"

As expected, the square was noisy, and some people were unlucky enough to miss the PV like the people chasing the madman, and there were also some strange comments. However, most people were surprised by this real experience and the surrounding environment.

After watching for a while, Matou Shinji found a familiar figure in the crowd. The person chasing the madman ran to find his acquaintance.

"Hey, isn't this Emiya!"

Not far away from Shinji Matou, an ID called "Emiyaya, Partner of Justice" was very conspicuous to him - the romanization was almost the same as his real name.

"Oh, it's Shinji!" Emiya Shirou turned around. He was talking to Goto Kazue next to him, and Matou Shinji glanced at his game ID "Black Samurai".

I didn’t realize before that Goto is also a Star Wars fan?

"What the hell? It's a rare opportunity to play a VR game, but this is like a class reunion."

"Haha, don't say that, Shinji," Emiya Shirou was still a good guy, "Next time, call Issei to try it out. I just don't know if this game account can be used by people in turn. It just so happens that the school is on vacation, so it will be convenient for everyone to get together when they have nothing to do."

"I'm just saying, do you really think this is the location for a class reunion?"

Shinji complained, but someone responded directly to his words:

"——Hey Shinji, do you have any opinions about the class reunion?"

The person's name was Ayako Mizutsugi. Shinji recognized her at a glance because they were both from the Kyudo Club of Hogunhara Academy. Shinji was the deputy captain and Mizutsugi was the captain, which shows Mizutsugi's archery skills. By the way, Shirou Emiya was also the ace of the Kyudo Club before he was injured.

"Oh, it's Meizhui."

Shinji glanced at Meizhui's ID and his eyelids twitched:

"Nuclear Chasing Arrow".

"The ID you chose is...", that's a bit crazy, commander.

"Hehehe~, the number one archery god in the beta version must be me." Mizue felt that with the realism of this game, her archery level could probably be restored. Among the people she knew, only Emiya could compete with her, and Shinji was still a step behind her.

"Oh, right, right," Shinji didn't refute. He felt that it was a bit stupid to speak so much before he understood the game mechanics. "Meizhu, who are the people behind you?"

"He's my classmate."

Unlike Class C where Shinji, Emiya and others were, Mizuki and the others were students from Class A. There was a small group of three people at the back, led by Himuro Shou, with Makidera Kaede and Sanzhi Yukika next to them. The three people's game IDs were "Himuro Lady", "Black Panther of the Hokuguni", and "Sanzhi Wild Flower". The girls were talking in private, looking at their clothes, and seemed to be dissatisfied with the uniform silver-gray uniform, which was too dull and monotonous.

Shinji complained in his heart that now the class reunion has become an alumni reunion.

Just as the group of students from the high school department of Hogunhara Academy were chatting, a closed door on the side of the square suddenly opened and Qin Xuan walked in.

"? Who is this? How did he get in through this door?"

"Fuck, this guy is so handsome, I can tell at first glance that he's not a human!"

"NPC, the beginner guide is finally coming?"

Qin Xuan ignored the players' discussions and took out a wooden scepter with twisted branches on the top - in fact, he made it with the branches of the World Tree. But it looked like a mysterious and powerful artifact.

Tap it gently on the ground.

The world suddenly became quiet, not because he initiated a forced silence - but as the branch-shaped staff tapped down, a fairyland scene like green grass and towering ancient trees extended from under Qin Xuan's feet. At the same time, a gentle and warm vitality blew across the cold-toned square like a breeze.

Players found that the touch under their feet really turned into a grass-like field.

“——Oh my gosh! Cut the picture with one click!”

"Up there! What's that!"

The players looked up and found a huge ancient tree that stood tall and straight. It seemed bigger than the world. It grew and rose from the ground and extended to the depths of the universe. In between, there were countless branches connecting different voids. Different styles could be clearly observed in the directions there - it seemed that various forms of civilizations were surviving, and races with different characteristics lived and reproduced there.

Qin Xuan said, "Hello, Adventers, this is the 'Land of Advent', you can call me the Forerunner."

“Many of you should know that we are not from the other world, and we come to bring change to the world.”

"Then let me tell you the original story. The story of the 'Tree' and the 'Sea'."

Many players did not have time to appreciate the beautiful scenery, but instead came back to their senses to listen to Qin Xuan's words, as this was an important plot at the beginning of the game.

"Do you know that the universe itself is infinite? Countless possibilities constitute an immeasurable universe. However, in this originally boundless sea of ​​the universe, a tree was born."

As Qin Xuan spoke, the players saw the trunk growing stronger and stronger, with the sacred laws that contained everything in the world flowing through it. There were countless different universes between the branches, and each leaf was a world full of vitality.

"The existence of the tree clashed with the 'sea'. The two fought and competed with each other. The world that survived the trial could continue on the branches and continue to develop, while the failed world was eliminated and turned into a broken realm and sank into the bottomless deep sea. This is the 'Sea of ​​Trees', the only existence of these two, and the only narrative that affects the infinite vast space and time."

Players seem to have entered into a historical myth and an extremely fantastic chronicle of the universe. The protagonist of this historical story is not a hero in the conventional sense, but the entire planet, the entire world. All civilizations struggle with all their might and no one stands out. They only hope to gain a glimmer of hope in the two major systems, jump over the dragon gate, and have a bright future from then on. Otherwise, they will fail at the last minute and never have a chance to turn things around.

——Although the actual situation is often the opposite, it is obvious that Qin Xuan, as the tree side, is fighting for the Sea of ​​the Universe.

"Remember, you are the ones who came from the Tree! You have countless and incredible potential. Now is the time to spread the changes you bring to the first world."

Qin Xuan finished speaking a lot of words one after another, spent some time and used the "cave background" to adjust the special effects, and then completed the background story.

Then the tree-shaped staff pointed again, and the green wonderland scene disappeared.

Players felt a little disappointed when they saw the gorgeous CG ending.

"Is this gone?"

“I haven’t seen enough yet.”

Some murmured quietly.

But Qin Xuan didn't care about that. After they had digested the information and calmed down, he explained again, "Now, you can try to use your magic power - just like breathing, gather the power flowing in your body to your eyes. In fact, a little bit is enough. In this way, you should be able to see your own situation and the initial affairs instructions I issued to you."

magic?

Shirou Emiya's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately thought, maybe it was just a coincidence in the game settings. He tried it according to Qin Xuan's instructions, and sure enough, there was a clear flow of power in his body, which he could easily mobilize - hundreds of times stronger than what he experienced in reality.

Just focusing his eyes a little, Shirou Emiya saw a system panel floating in the air. It had the game ID written on it, and below it was...

[Level: Heroic Soldier/Level: 1/Skill: None/Attribute: ......]

The attributes are divided into strength, durability, agility, magic, luck, and treasure. Without exception, the lowest is E, and the treasure column is empty.

Shirou Emiya clicked on each attribute to see the physical performance represented by this attribute, and then in addition to the personal panel, there were also communications, emails, settings, etc. Communications seemed to be related to the friend system, and after clicking on the email, there was a novice guide manual, an initial affairs manual, and 100 ether points as starting capital sent by the official operation team 'Magic☆Meili'.

Excluding some useless polite words, the important information is: the manual explains that the Forerunners have means such as forced black rooms for specific violations by the Adventers, that is, the players, that is, kicking them offline, banning their accounts, etc.

Then, the bodies of the adventers are composed of spirit particle data as a model and magic power as a filler. The spirit particle data (that is, the player data backup) is stored at the other end of the higher-dimensional "tree". After death, you only need to spend magic power and ether points to "resurrect" from the spirit particle ether reconstruction cabin. If you want to log off, you can also go through this channel.

"What kind of Warp Demon is this?" some players whispered.

Qin Xuan then led them out of the underground base. On the other side of the gentle upward slope, the metallic door slid open to both sides, and the bright sunlight seemed to be eager to shine in. Even the tiny dust in the air was dancing in joy wherever the light shone. A lush and vibrant primitive landscape was reflected in the eyes of the players.

“This scenery is so beautiful!”

"Oh my god, the sunshine feels so warm on my body!"

"I saw a little bug! Catch it and try it to see if it tastes good! - Damn, this soft and sticky texture! Even the nauseating process of swallowing it is so real!"

"Nitian, are you sure you didn't taste the Nine-turn Large Intestine?"

The players were noisy and the atmosphere was cheerful, but Qin Xuan felt quite out of place.

"As you can see, this is not the normal time and space you are familiar with," Qin Xuan said after a while. "It is the ancient Mesopotamian plain. According to the calendar of later generations, it is now 2655 BC. This is the era when the ancient hero king Gilgamesh ruled."

"But I emphasize again that this is not a normal time and space. The disaster called 'Humanity Burning' has affected all of history. According to the guidance of the mastermind, a terrible disaster will break out here soon, and countless beasts will trample everything - I believe that quite a few of you still have premonition memories of this (PV impression)."

"So, as a first step before changing the world, the first thing you need to do is to survive. Secondly, expand and build our base, develop and strengthen our forces, and lay a solid foundation for welcoming the next batch of companions."

"I have to remind you that your bodies are made up of pure magic power. The body's movements and reactions are simulated through ether magic power. In fact, there are no unnecessary functions." Qin Xuan raised a finger. He knew that some people would inevitably be horny or have strange habits, so he simply did not install those functions.
