Chapter 81 Holographic Online Games Are So Cool (Part Two)
The name Xinxiu has a very beautiful meaning.
Luo Xinxiu was born into a well-off family. His parents were loving and harmonious, and there was nothing to worry about at all.
But when Luo Xinxiu was twelve years old, he shielded his twin sister Luo Yi'an from a car accident. From then on, Luo Xinxiu's leg was injured, leaving him confined to a wheelchair.
Luo Xinxiu had no high level of education and was a useless person who couldn't even do physical labor, so he set his sights on the profession of game boosting.
At the time, the newest and most popular game was a holographic online game called [Stellar]. Naturally, Luo Xinxiu asked his twin sister to help him register a game account at the Stellar game store using his ID card.
The game account that was retrieved showed the gender as female. Luo Xinxiu's sister, Luo Yi'an, apologized to him, saying that the wrong ID card had been used.
Luo Xinxiu silently agreed, and then entered the holographic game with this female character.
While boosting his character's account, he met a handsome and wealthy player who seemed to be interested in Luo Xinxiu's female character and kept pestering him, trying to make them a real-life couple.
Luo Xinxiu repeatedly told this wealthy player about the blunder his sister had made, and he tried his best to distance himself from the person. But what Luo Xinxiu didn't expect was that a year later, he could no longer log into the game account that had built up a large network of connections.
Luo Xinxiu registered a new account and logged back into Hengxing, only to discover that everyone knew about his previous account's marriage to that wealthy player!
The person using her own account—every subtle action revealed that she was Luo Xinxiu's twin sister, Luo Yi'an!
Luo Xinxiu questioned Luo Yi'an, only to receive the reply that it was originally her character. Luo Yi'an, in a moment of madness, directly gave a hidden main quest in the Stellar system to that rich player!
Luo Xinxiu could have changed the ID card he was using to his own, but he still trusted Luo Yi'an, his sister.
But Luo Xinxiu's sister not only handed over so many resources and so much effort, but also scolded him in front of his face.
"If it weren't for the fact that you're my brother, why would I speak so kindly to a cripple!"
Luo Xinxiu thought Luo Yi'an was just a little naive and simple-minded, but he never expected her to say such hurtful things!
Why he's become like this, does Luo Yi'an really not know?!
impossible!
Luo Xinxiu's world was small, but during this period, [the star] became a driving force for his life. He was extremely angry but helpless.
Ultimately, under a series of blows, he died prematurely in his hospital bed.
Luo Xinxiu's obsession with [Star] was so deep that his soul lingered in the game, where he then encountered Si Yisi.
Si Yisi also solved the mystery of why he had encountered such a coincidence—Luo Xinxiu's appearance and soul fluctuations in the game were very similar to his system!
"I..." As the one-person-one-system connection was established, Luo Xinxiu also grasped some things that he could know.
"If you can help me fulfill my wish, I hope you can help me uncover the main quest that I failed to complete. And... let my sister suffer a little loss."
"good."
The moment Si Yisi agreed, the main system automatically generated a task and dragged him into the small world!
[Stellar] is touted as the most realistic holographic online game of its time, and this is not an exaggeration, but a fact. It represents a huge breakthrough in the gaming industry, pushing the limits of human brainwaves to create such a holographic game.
Si Yisi could hear the melodious chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves in the breeze; he was in a lush, verdant forest.
The grove where Si Yisi was located had several towering ancient trees that reached into the sky, with warm sunlight filtering through the dense leaves.
He could even smell the scent of earth between his nostrils, and in the distance, he could see a small wooden house half-hidden by branches and leaves.
...A quaint little wooden house?!
Si Yisi was taken aback; he noticed something amiss. He was clearly not with Luo Xinxiu right now, otherwise, he would have seen the familiar layout and furnishings of Luo Xinxiu's home, which he knew by heart.
He is very likely...
Si Yisi looked down and saw that she was wearing a bright green dress. The dress did not hinder her movement; on the contrary, it was light, close-fitting, and comfortable. Small, vibrant green leaves appeared at the edges of the dress, and Si Yisi wore a pair of equally elegant elbow pads.
Si Yisi touched the back of his head and the tip of his ear—he had brought out a small quiver with ten arrows inside.
When Si Yisi's hand touched the tip of his ear, he felt the sharp sensation and his body instinctively shuddered.
The ears are a "forbidden zone" for elves, making them more sensitive than other parts of the body.
However, since the elves have recently eradicated some bad habits, the custom that touching an elf's ear means you must become the elf's partner no longer exists.
Instead of possessing Luo Xinxiu's body, Si Yisi became his game character, a beautiful and delicate elf girl.
The name of the game [Star] is meant to tell all players that you can all become the brightest star. [Star] offers several races for players to choose from: Humans, Elves, Orcs, Demons, and Gods.
Among them, the Elf and God races are the most exquisite in appearance, but Luo Xinxiu chose this race after considering his own situation.
Of course, due to the real-name registration system, Luo Xinxiu could only choose to confirm his character as an elven girl.
However, Si Yisi was absolutely certain that his outward appearance was still male, so he was currently considered—
So-called cross-dressing masters?
Si Yisi: "..."
Si Yisi silently lowered his hand, and suddenly he heard a thunderous sound, and his body started running uncontrollably!
"Wow, this base speed is so fast! But why can't I control this character suddenly? Is the game lagging?"
That was unmistakably Luo Xinxiu's voice!
This surprised Si Yisi quite a bit. After he entered this small world, Luo Xinxiu, who was originally at this time, was still alive and well!
And Si Yisi herself has undoubtedly possessed Luo Xinxiu's game character in the Stellar Game!
He was also being unseen and controlled by Luo Xinxiu!
Luo Xinxiu was unaware of Si Yisi's existence and his thoughts. He began to control the game character Si Yisi to run forward at high speed! The elves are the most agile. Si Yisi's elf "girl" body moved like a swallow, her toes lightly touching the lake surface, without creating a ripple.
Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
The wind brushed past his ears, but it lost its fierce force. It became the elf's closest companion, gently surrounding him and carrying him away like the wind!
The fresh air carried the scent of earth, which Si Yisi, whose body was temporarily controlled by Luo Xinxiu, could sense.
Si Yisi was able to see his current appearance more clearly through the perspective. His unexpected possession did not have much impact on the elf character, but the elf "girl" did indeed undergo some subtle changes.
—It has gained a more indescribable and neutral feel.
"Who are you--?"
Luo Xinxiu suddenly slammed on the brakes with his game character, almost hitting the other player.
This player has a glittering gold-plated title above their head, and their clothes and weapons, according to the detection, are green-grade equipment that ordinary players cannot obtain when they first enter the game!
Weapons and clothing in [Star] are categorized by color into white, green, blue, purple, orange, pink, and gold, which in turn correspond to seven levels: common, excellent, rare, unique, special, legendary, and epic.
At this stage, when the public beta has just begun, most players are wearing basic gear like Luo Xinxiu, so how can they compare to the player in front of them?
The wealthy player took a stunning look at the female elf in front of him. Unlike ordinary online games, holographic online games require players to modify their appearance to prevent deception and other misconduct.
An ordinary appearance can be enhanced to look stunning, but an elf character like Luo Xinxiu, whose appearance was enhanced by his twin sister, is as beautiful as a painting.
It's like a light ink painting.
The wealthy player paused for a moment, his eyes flashing with amazement and fondness. He said to Si Yisi, and also to Luo Xinxiu, "I am Liejiu Qinghan. I haven't been playing this Stellar game for very long. As fellow newbies, let's get to know each other?"
Si Yisi frowned and took a step back in resistance. Luo Xinxiu found that he could no longer control the female elf's actions in the blink of an eye!
"What... happened?" Luo Xinxiu, wearing a gaming helmet, lay in his wheelchair, his lips moving in sync with the thoughts in his mind.
This "strong liquor and cold chill" refers to the wealthy player who has a special fondness for Luo Xinxiu's female elf character.
Si Yisi knew that, given Luo Xinxiu's personality, he would choose to befriend this "fiery and cold" player, because a player who spends money on in-game purchases often has great potential, and it might be possible to build a close-knit network of contacts through this player.
Luo Xinxiu has too little presence in real life, so the internet is the only way for him to reach a wider audience...
Si Yisi and Luo Xinxiu answered at the same time: "I am... a broken brush painting".
Luo Xinxiu's heart suddenly trembled almost imperceptibly. He seemed to hear a voice that was completely different from the elven girl's voice for a moment.
The voice... sounded like a clear, youthful voice, or a voice somewhere between a boy and a young man, but Luo Xinxiu also keenly sensed something unusual.
Was that really the voice of a teenager or young adult? It felt very different.
In short, the art style is off.
Si Yisi also realized his small mistake. He completely and temporarily let go of control over his body, letting Luo Xinxiu fool the strong liquor and coldness first.
If Si Yisi wants to fulfill Luo Xinxiu's wish, she must reach an agreement with Luo Xinxiu!
Otherwise... it will be difficult!
If Luo Xinxiu didn't understand why the game character was uncontrollable, he might have contacted the game company, and this female elf's account might have been banned by the game company because of this anomaly.
At that point, Si Yisi's mission might fail on the spot!
"Great name!" Liejiu Qinghan didn't notice the involuntary stiffness in Si Yisi and the others' bodies. He sincerely praised them and then asked, "Which guild does Huamo plan to join in the future? I see you've only just started doing newbie quests."
“…Hmm…” Luo Xinxiu pondered for a moment, “I don’t currently have any plans to join any guild. I’m very sorry.”
"No, no, let's be friends." Liejiu Qinghan said, handing the elf "girl" a decent-looking parchment scroll from his bosom.
Luo Xinxiu accepted it hesitantly, and in this way he became friends with Liejiu Qinghan.
After the strong liquor and the chilly wine had left in high spirits, Luo Xinxiu blinked inexplicably and muttered to himself, "What...is he trying to do?"
"Bringing all new players into the fold ahead of time? There's no standard for judging or selecting whether this is good or bad?"
At this time, he still didn't quite understand social etiquette, stayed at home all the time, and always thought from a male perspective. This time, he completely failed to grasp the meaning of "strong liquor and coldness".
Si Yisi seized the opportunity to regain control of her body: "You'd better stay away from that strong liquor and coldness."
"Why?" Luo Xinxiu subconsciously threw back a question, then suddenly realized that there was no one beside him, so!
Who's speaking?!
"Who are you...who are you?"
Luo Xinxiu couldn't control his elven girl character at all. His eyes darted around in surprise and suspicion, wondering if he might be being targeted by a hacker!
Si Yi thought for a moment and replied:
"I am your elf character, Broken Brush and Ink, or you can call me Si Yisi."
"ah?!"
This answer was completely beyond Luo Xinxiu's expectations!
What the heck is a game character? Did you become a spirit after only one day of being born?
Isn't it a generally accepted rule that spirits cannot become sentient after the founding of the People's Republic of China?
