Hot post online: I traveled through time.
Recently, a post went viral online.
How did a catchy title like "I've traveled to a virtual fantasy world" manage to top the trending search list? Some people clicked on it out of curiosity.
This is how the host described it.
Here's what happened: On a dark and windy night, I entered the livestream of my favorite gaming streamer. I was struck by how impressive he was, as always. He wasn't very famous, but his gameplay was excellent. I learned a lot of great game strategies and received a lot of good advice from him. He was also very handsome and had a lovely voice... (Skip the 10,000-word compliment here. I love you, streamer!)
Ahem, let’s get to the point.
After the streamer finished the game, he, as usual, was teased by the young woman in the livestream room. Of course, I joined in the fun. It was mainly because the streamer was so cute, it really wasn't my old lady's attitude. Ahem, I've strayed off topic again. Anyway, during the teasing, the streamer said he wanted to give us a gift, which really shocked me. The streamer is usually quite stingy, because he's really poor. His small room and clothes showed that his family wasn't well off. But today, he actually wanted to give us a gift! Holy crap! Even a lollipop would have satisfied me. Of course, the gift wasn't a lollipop, but a beautiful alloy bracelet. The streamer said it was designed by his father (he must be a big shot!! Big shot, please accept my humble knees!!). Judging by the bracelet's texture, it didn't look expensive, only a few dozen yuan.
Of course, this was just my opinion. I was blind! I have now deeply repented to this treasure. I bathed, changed my clothes, burned three incense sticks, and kowtowed to it to admit my mistake. I was wrong. I shouldn't have looked down on it. I was blind to the fact that I didn't recognize Mount Tai, I was blind to the fact that I didn't recognize the value of gold and jade.
The host drew twenty lucky viewers, and I was one of them. I'm trembling right now. I'm so glad I won! If I hadn't, I would have died. Thank you, host, thank you Guanyin Bodhisattva, thank you Buddha, thank you for your compassion.
Afterwards, the host told us that this bracelet was a treasure, a key to enter a virtual fantasy world. Of course, the host was a little angry (I was wrong). The host thought, if you are going to give a gift, just give it. Why do you have to make up a lie to entertain the audience? It is so infuriating (I was wrong). So, the host
I threatened to quit being a fan right then and there (I was wrong). Luckily, the host was magnanimous and didn't blame me for my stupidity. Woohoo... What kind of a godly host is this!!! I love you for ten thousand years!!
Ahem, reserved.
Anyway, this magical tool came to me, and it reminded me of a song: Who brought you to me... It was the amazing anchor! !
When I received the package, I didn't pay much attention to it, just tossing it aside. I really wanted to slap myself for being so stupid. ... That evening, I had gathered myself and was about to go to bed when I suddenly remembered the package. I opened it and found, besides the bracelet, a densely packed instruction manual. I glanced at it and tossed it aside (I'm being naive again). Then I picked up the bracelet and looked at it. It was truly beautiful. The shimmering metallic texture, the elegant, distorted logo pattern, the poetic leaf engraving... I'll skip the 10,000-word praise here. It's also adjustable in size, so convenient! It's truly a magical device!
The host tried it on and was very satisfied. A closer look revealed a small button on the side of the bracelet, and the host remembered that the host had said it was a button that led to a virtual world. Although the host didn't take it seriously, out of curiosity, he pressed it anyway...
Guess what kind of magical experience the OP had that shattered his worldview.
After pressing the button, a starry sky immediately appeared in my mind. It was very beautiful, very ethereal, very illusory, and very unfathomable. A very ethereal voice sounded in my ears: Do you want to enter the fantasy world? If I don't answer, I will enter automatically after ten seconds.
OP:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The poster was stunned at the time and couldn't react at all.
When I finally found my head, I realized I was standing in a deserted wilderness. Do you know how terrified I was? I nearly peed myself! Luckily, driven by my instinct for survival, I remembered what the streamer had said: If you can figure it out, just silently say "end trial."
The OP was saved!!
When I calmed down, I found myself back in reality. I am not afraid of being embarrassed to say it, I cried.
After crying, I was excited. I crawled to pick up the lost instruction manual and read it word by word. I realized that it was a virtual illusion, not the real world. Then there was a series of explanations and precautions about the virtual illusion. As for what the precautions are, I will not explain them one by one here. Anyway, those who have the bracelet will read it naturally, and those who don’t have it will not understand it.
There's no point in telling you. (Yes, that's how the OP is showing off!)
It took the author more than twenty minutes to calm his pounding heart, and after calming down, he was eager to try it.
The poster pressed the bracelet button again with a nervous heart and chose: Yes.
After a moment of dizziness, the poster returned to the small lawn in the wild. It felt incredibly real, like a time travel experience. The fragrance of flowers, grass, fresh air, the occasional bird flying by… everything felt so real. And what had changed about the poster? She was wearing bleached, old, ancient clothes (luckily, they were very clean and still smelled of grass), and her shoes were straw sandals—so tragic! Her short hair had grown long, tied up with a cloth belt, giving her the look of an ancient person.
Behind the small lawn is a peach forest, but it is blocked by an invisible barrier and can only be seen but not touched. In front of the small lawn is a stone with three words written on it: Ye Zi Village.
Following the instructions, the poster gritted his teeth and stepped into the place that looked like a portal.
As soon as I stepped inside, my perspective shifted. I was standing in an open space, with a wide street in front of me. On either side of the street were two rows of houses, some with two-story shops, and some with one-story small businesses. There were also a few small vendors setting up stalls on the street, but there weren't many pedestrians, and most of them were dressed like farmers. A few children were playing and fighting in the street, and occasionally a dog would bark excitedly, but they were quickly chased away by the owner of the nearby shop, who said they didn't want to interfere with his business.
Do you know that feeling? It's like you've suddenly traveled through time, into the streets of ancient times, and everything is so incredible.
The village is very large, with a small market in the center. I was actually transported to the street in the market. It took me a day to realize that the entire village is a self-contained, circular world. The villagers live like normal people in real life and generally won't actively communicate with you. You just have to treat yourself as a passerby. It's so frustrating!
Back to the topic, the author walked around with a mixture of nervousness and excitement, and found that this was just a relatively large village, not a city.
Then the key point came. The author found a notice board hanging on the wall at the entrance of some small shops. The notice board had some words similar to issuing tasks. For example: Collect ten furs of the first-level gray rabbit, the reward is: a pair of thousand-layer cloth shoes, fifty copper coins. The author of the post suddenly realized that this situation is not the same as the guild tasks and sect tasks in the world of cultivation. Although the level is not comparable, but this
The quality should be similar. Emma! The OP is really smart.
The poster chose a fabric shop. The proprietress, a woman in her forties, smiled warmly and asked what she wanted to buy. Then, after asking on the bulletin board outside, she boldly accepted the rabbit fur quest. The proprietress gave her a small quest sign. Receiving the sign was a strange feeling, a sense of having taken on a task. After receiving it, the poster touched the sign, and then! The quest details appeared in her mind! Amazing, isn't it?
After asking the landlady where the gray rabbits were found, I set off empty-handed, proving that impulse is the devil, and that a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger! (I was starting to lose my mind again).
Gray Rabbit Forest is the small woods west of the village. It's a wild forest, dotted with a jumble of unidentifiable tree species. I even found a small strawberry in the grass and desperately picked one to eat. Luckily, it wasn't poisonous. ... After searching the woods for a long time, I couldn't find a single rabbit. Dejected, I sat down on the ground. Guess what kind of divine physique I had? As soon as I sat down, I spotted a hole opposite me that looked like a rabbit hole. I was so excited! I immediately picked up a stick I'd just found in the woods and poked at the hole. (P.S. I was so excited that I made a foolish mistake. Don't try this, because you won't get a rabbit in real life.) But fantasy is different from the slutty realities of reality. The rabbits here are incredibly bold.
After some fiddling, a fat rabbit leaped out of its hole. Note that the word "fat" here isn't exaggerated; it was truly enormous, completely unlike a real-life little white rabbit! Its glowing red eyes stared intently at the poster, as if stalking prey, and the poster was actually frightened! Afraid of a rabbit. Damn, a rabbit like the Warcraft-esque creature must have thought a mere mortal like me had nothing to fear. The poster was furious and vowed to teach this reckless rabbit a painful lesson. He wielded his stick with such gusto that he struck it, and then... the more daring one is, the greater the pain!
Although the OP felt noticeably more agile in the illusion, it was no match for the rabbit's speed. The rabbit's claws immediately scratched the OP's arm, leaving several red marks. Note the red marks; how could such sharp claws leave only red marks? The OP briefly considered it an illusion, but the pain was still intense, burning. Upon discovering that the claws wouldn't leave him completely disfigured, the OP transformed into Bao Da Ren. After a life-or-death struggle, the rabbit defeated the OP, and the OP was chased through the woods. /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
The author has something to say: Please collect and comment, thank you
