Post-Order Era, Year 1, March 1st.

Three months have passed since the catastrophe.

The remaining humans developed silently with heavy hearts.

Even if there is the illusion of catharsis during the public sacrifice and the faith support provided by the temple religion.

The hearts of all the survivors remain heavy.

This kind of pain.

Generally it can only be healed by time.

However, early this morning, Yong Zhou brought news to survivors all over the world.

On the [Baiyu Mobile Phone] that everyone holds in their hands, the Survival Guarantee App and the Yongzhu Official Website App both have banners on their homepages reminding everyone: a virtual reality game with 99% realism developed by Yongzhu is set to be publicly tested tonight.

Such news is naturally confusing.

The world is still in a state of recovery, so it would be great if the level of science and technology could remain unchanged.

As a result, a so-called virtual reality game suddenly pops up, which naturally makes people confused.

But with Yong Zhou's endorsement and guarantee.

This kind of news is naturally different from the news that spreads through gossip.

But it is full of credibility.

Survivors around the world immediately looked forward to it.

As we all know, Yong Zhou would never speak nonsense.

So how realistic can the virtual reality game that Yong Zhou guarantees to be 99 percent realistic be?

Everyone has different opinions.

There are many hot topics discussing this issue on the world forum.

Eternal day for this.

A special section for gaming was even opened in the World Forum, so that players who will be participating in the public beta can discuss the game to their heart's content here.

besides.

In all the major survivor bases.

The military also began to intensify patrols everywhere.

While ensuring order, the news that virtual reality game login bracelets would be distributed uniformly at noon was spread to all residents.

This has further raised people's expectations.

······ In the large survivor base in Jiangnan Province.

Li Hongtu, who was transferred here, was looking up at the much bluer sky from the balcony.

I couldn't help but feel some emotion.

In just three months, humans collectively reduced most of their industrial activities.

It actually caused immediate and noticeable changes in the skies around the world.

As a high-level peripheral member of Yongzhao.

He had learned about other parts of the world through channels that regular survivors did not have.

The environment in almost all places has improved significantly.

This disaster is painful for humanity.

Two billion people died and two billion were disabled. This can truly be called a catastrophe.

But for the earth.

Maybe it's a good thing? I heard that the earth itself has been enhanced by the spirituality of a large number of abyss monsters, and the Gaia intelligence that everyone uses now comes from this.

If you think about it this way.

The abyss is just a mass extinction of sentient life.

Thinking so.

Li Hongtu shook his head helplessly.

He drank the can of beer in his hand, and the refreshing feeling made him forget his meaningless thoughts.

Today is the time for collective public testing by players.

It was a rare vacation for him as he didn't need to be an NPC and didn't have any other tasks for the time being.

"Drink wine today and be drunk today..."

Li Hongtu murmured and looked downstairs.

I saw the official car of the base parked downstairs, busy distributing the login bracelets given to them by Yong Zhou to everyone one by one.

At this time, Lin Yun just pushed open the door and walked in.

Because his daughter Lin Miao decided to join Yongzhou Chenxi Academy before the third recruitment, Lin Yun was asked to come here to follow Captain Li Hongtu and participate in the supervision of the reconstituted family and orphan adoption policies.

So Lin Yun and Li Hongtu lived together.

Hearing Li Hongtu's murmur, Lin Yun shook the bracelet on his hand without hesitation and complained to Li Hongtu: "Why are you still drinking here? Hurry up and go down to get the login bracelet. I have an appointment with Lin Miao to be our NPC guide."

When Lin Yun came up just now, he picked up one downstairs.

But I didn’t pick it up on behalf of Li Hongtu.

It's not that he doesn't want to.

This is because the issuance of login bracelets requires the recording and verification of Bai Yu’s mobile phone number and a series of biometric information of the holder.

This is done to ensure that everyone has a login bracelet.

And each person can only have one, and scalpers and other people who engage in resale are strictly prohibited.

Li Hongtu paused when he heard this.

Looking at the official staff of the base who were still distributing login bracelets to the people in line below, he was not in a hurry.

"Let them queue up for a while."

"I'll drink some more."

As Li Hongtu spoke, he picked up another can of beer from the side and opened the pull ring.

Start drinking it in big gulps.

After the disaster.

He hadn't felt so relaxed in a long time.

Lin Yun saw this.

I sighed helplessly in my heart.

During the time he was here, he learned what happened to Li Hongtu.

This tall and strong senior peripheral member of Yong Zhou also has a fragile side.

Not long after the disaster.

After some work that is more important to the overall situation has been almost completed.

Yong Zhou carried out the resettlement work for the relatives and friends of the organization members.

A Wei persuaded Li Hongtu, who was leading an exploration team to search for survivors at the time, to end the mission and arranged for him to return to his hometown to participate in the rescue and resettlement work.

But Li Hongtu refused.

Don't just insist on doing what you should do for the sake of the greater good.

Actually, I'm also afraid.

Afraid of knowing the current situation of my relatives and friends.

Although his relatives and friends are not in the circle, the consequences would not be as tragic as those in the circle.

But the outside world is not safe when disaster strikes.

Such a doomsday tragedy happened around the world, and he didn't know what would happen to his relatives and friends.

Escape becomes an instinct in this situation.

after.

Li Hongtu bid farewell to Lin Miao and others and left the survivor base in Linjiang City.

Arrived at the large survivor base in Jiangnan Province.

Participate in the supervision of reconstituted families and adoption agencies.

He has become a complete workaholic.

Trying to numb yourself with work.

but.

The truth cannot be hidden forever.

Not long after that, Li Hongtu's good brother Awei came to him with a heavy heart and explained the whole situation to him earnestly.

Like most tragedies in this catastrophe.

Li Hongtu's relatives and friends were not lucky.

After investigation, it was found that the huge monster appeared directly next to Li Hongtu's relatives and friends.

They were at the beginning of the disaster.

They ended their lives directly.

Such news made the iron man take a day off that day.

The next day, he came back as if nothing had happened.

But after that.

Li Hongtu developed a habit of drinking.

Whenever I have free time, I often drink can after can of alcohol.

He didn't confide or complain to anyone.

Except for Awei, many of Li Hongtu's friends, including Lin Miao, basically didn't know about this.

All we know is that Li Hongtu is working in Jiangnan Province for the children who have become orphans due to the disaster.

Lin Yun stood aside without saying much.

He knew that Li Hongtu didn't need any persuasion from him.

This man is a brave and fearless warrior of the eternal day.

Lin Yun simply walked to Li Hongtu on the balcony, picked up a can of beer on the ground and opened the pull ring.

Same as Li Hongtu.

Just start drinking in big gulps.

Perhaps what Li Hongtu lacks now is just a drinking buddy.

"Old Lin."

"We need to ask Miaomiao to give us some pointers tonight. These special NPCs should have a lot of special tasks on their hands."

"Thank you in advance."

After three rounds of drinks, Li Hongtu murmured to Lin Yun beside him.

Looking at the bright sun in the sky.

Li Hongtu's voice seemed a little drunk.

"You are a member of the Eternal Day Outskirts."

"You're counting on a reserve member to open a backdoor for you, right? Don't ruin my Miaomiao's future, or I'll report you to the disciplinary and law enforcement department."

Lin Yun gave Li Hongtu a helpless look and started to complain with a smile.

Li Hongtu was just joking when he wanted to take the back door. In fact, he just wanted to casually say thank you to Lin Yun, something he had wanted to say for a long time.

Lin Yun's report was naturally just a joke. In fact, he was just complaining about Li Hongtu's pretentiousness. Even saying thank you was so vague.

There was silence for a while.

The two of them clinked their glasses in tacit understanding without even turning their heads.

Then they started chatting again.

"Old Lin, do you dare to compete to see who can level up faster in the [Spiritual World·Uktrasil]?"

"You've got the wrong person. When I was young, I was the arcade god who was invincible in the arcade!"

"Haha, arcade games and virtual reality online games are very different. Don't blow your own trumpet."

"Yo huh? Look, let me show you something!"

······················· 【Spiritual World: Yggdrasil】

Novice Village 10086: Wild Dream Star.

Sun Hongcheng, Qiya Weibena, Dieter Rong, and Giovanni Gabrielli were assigned here as intern NPCs.

Above the small life-sustaining glass dome is the starry sky.

Below is a space base that is much more advanced than BNULM’s previous manned spacecraft.

The few people staying here do not need to wear space suits to protect against the space environment.

"I thought that after joining Everday, I would have a wonderful life of slaying demons and eliminating evil, but in reality..."

"It seems to be the same as before?"

Sun Hongcheng complained helplessly.

After being brought to Yongzhao by Professor Du Xing, the four of them successfully passed many tests and officially became the third batch of recruits of Chenxi Academy.

After that they learned a lot of cultural knowledge and extraordinary common sense.

I have learned a lot.

They were even allowed to look at their relatives from a distance.

All this makes the four of them look forward to their respective futures.

only.

After entering the [Spirit World·Yggdrasil] and serving as NPC tasks, the four of them always felt as if they had returned to Mars.

It's like I've never left.

Because of the background of the virtual game [Spirit World·Yuktrasil].

The technologically advanced human galactic empire is invaded by the abyss, and players need to play the role of the embryonic civilization seeds left by the human galactic empire on countless remote planets.

In this ruined and prosperous civilization, you can choose to rebuild it vigorously, or fight to the death with some monsters left over from the abyss.

This background destined one thing:

That is the novice village for all players, each of which is a different barren planet.

There is nothing else but the space base.

And for a long period of time in the game, you cannot leave the planet you were born on.

And such a birthplace.

For Sun Hongcheng, Qiya Weibena, Dieter Jung and Giovanni Gabrielli, it was like a dream returning to Mars.

It's like going back to the days of the exploration mission on Mars.

Besides looking at the stars every day.

There seems to be only infinite loneliness.

Fortunately, this loneliness will not last too long.

The four were well aware of the large number of players that were coming.

What a creative group of people.

By then, I'm afraid people will feel that this place is a little too lively.

Just thinking about this.

The sound of a bell rang in the ears of several people, causing them to look at each other excitedly.

They are trained and know it.

This is a reminder that the public beta has officially begun.

Starting from the morning, we notified, warmed up, and distributed landing bracelets to major survivor bases.

By noon, all major survivor bases began distributing landing bracelets door to door.

Until 9:59 p.m.

When the public beta test was about to begin, almost everyone had received their login bracelets and were lying on their beds, waiting for the right time to enter the game.

Wait until the bell in this game rings.

This means that outside the game it is already 10 o'clock in the evening in District 8.

All survivors who are in idle state are basically logged into the game.

Sun Hongcheng, Qiya Weibena, Dieter Rong, and Giovanni Gabrielli immediately walked towards the clone breeding center of the novice village 10086 Huangmeng Star Space Base.

Human cloning breeding center.

It is the birth point of the players in the game.

They will be born as clones, and if they die in the future they can be cloned and resurrected, but they will have to start all over again.

Sun Hongcheng, Qiya Webena, Dieter Rong, and Giovanni Gabrielli were standing in the control room of the human cloning breeding center.

Looking at the one thousand breeding cabins on the monitoring screen.

A line of text appeared on the walls of most of the cultivation cabins.

Those are the names given to their characters by the players who are currently shaping their faces and naming their characters.

The names on these cultivation pods will accompany these players throughout their lives in the [Spiritual World - Y'ktrasil].

Even death and rebirth cannot change it.

Sun Hongcheng and others in the control room looked at those strange names and couldn't help but reveal an expression of watching a good show.

[Turkey-flavored rice crust], [The sculpture of Taklimakan Desert], [Abin's grades are not ideal], [Aman has a good plan], [People live for Mr. Chen Yidian], [The word is very large], [The logout button is missing], [The convertible with a wild imagination], [I will always be Mr. Yidian's dog]······

Basically, each of these names is extremely individual.

You should know that there is no name change card in the [Spirit World·Y'k'trasil].

This kind of setting.

This is a thoughtful setting by the Everday members who understand the players' personalities.

Let the initial name accompany the player throughout his life.

People are always responsible for their own choices.

——A game planner from the Eternal Day Moon research department said so.
