Chapter 1 Genshin Impact, start!

The school has been on vacation for two months, and more than a month has passed now.

The young man who climbed out of the medical cabin was no longer exhausted from playing games. He stretched himself energetically, turned around and lay down in the holographic game cabin.

This is the last long vacation before graduation. I will start working right after graduation, so of course I have to seize this time and have fun as much as I can!

Unfortunately, in just one month, tens of thousands of new games were launched on the platform, but when ranked by popularity and ratings, only a few satisfied him.

He had watched a long list of extremely homogenized games, and his eyes gradually became dull.

"Mech Battle..."

"Apocalypse-like mecha battle..."

“Fantasy… Shit, driving a mecha in a world of cultivating immortals?!”

"A love strategy game... Why is the background still set in a mecha driving and combat academy?"

It has been more than two hundred years since we entered the interstellar age. With repeated technological innovations, holographic games with a degree of realism ranging from 20% to 92% have completely replaced computer games and mobile games from the Blue Star era. Game creation has also become extremely simple with the convenience of tools.

Logically speaking, games of this era can be said to be a turbulent ocean, and also an endless treasure trove that can dazzle players.

That was exactly the case twenty-three years ago.

The gaming industry was once in a state where, except for a few large companies at the top, small game companies could hardly survive, and were completely squeezed out by individual game developers and amateur game developers.

However, after mechas were officially put into use and mecha-related courses were added in major colleges and universities, the whole nation went crazy for mechas.

The gaming market has also been dominated by this craze, and the mecha element has been popular for 23 years and has not declined.

It’s not that he doesn’t like mecha games, it’s mainly because he is a professional mecha driver!

I don’t know how many times I’ve practiced this in the specialized mecha combat software at school. I don’t want to see this element again when I’m mindlessly playing games!

"Cthulhu, there are limits on the mental power threshold and danger warnings... Wait, are you serious about driving a mecha to fight an Outer God?!"

Just when he was about to quit the game platform in anger, a message from a friend suddenly popped up.

[Didn’t you play that Genshin Impact before? I found a platform that has holographic remakes of Genshin Impact’s self-made world. ]

【Link】

Genshin Impact.

This name makes players feel a little bit uncomfortable.

He spent the month or so before his vacation playing this game.

Genshin Impact is a two-dimensional card-drawing game that was once very popular in the Blue Star era. After the map of the seven kingdoms was fully opened, the protagonist traveled around the world of Teyvat, found his relatives, and resolved a series of events, the plot of this game was announced to end.

Afterwards, the game company developed a series of games using the setting that the protagonist can travel to different worlds.

After a series of games is completed, the game company opens up a creative platform where new world content can be created at will. If the quality is excellent, it can even be equivalent to creating a completely new game with the same framework.

The latter versions are called homemade versions.

While searching for modern games, he found Genshin Impact, and he thought it was pretty good, so he finished all the Genshin Impact series in one go and also bought a bunch of high-quality homemade versions. It can be said that he had been soaking in the nutrient solution of the holographic game cabin day and night for more than a month, and he was almost soaked into kimchi.

As a result, I just crawled out of here and was kicked down again? !

Despite this, the player still sent a sad expression and clicked on the link honestly.

Unlike the large number of complicated and mixed homemade versions of Genshin Impact games he had found before, there were only thirty homemade versions in this link, most of which he had played, and a small number of which he was not interested in.

There was one model in there that he had never seen before.

"Science World, a licensed self-made version?" The unsure player quickly searched for information, "Oh, it's a detective anime from the Blue Star era."

The 2,000-episode series has made him lose interest in watching the anime, but the background and theme are still quite interesting.

The price of the game, which includes a homemade version, a holographic remake, and a refined version, is a bit expensive at the normal price, but it is marked that there are no pay-to-win items in the game, so the player decisively clicked to download.

Within a few seconds, the download and installation are complete and you can enter the game.

The line of sight fell into a deep darkness, and then dripped into white like ink, spreading out. The spreading water patterns seemed to symbolize the protagonist's slightly uneasy mood.

Some words flashed across the screen.

【Experiment Success】

【Fail】

【Reverse the flow of time】

【eternal life】

【future】

【Past】

Some characters and images began to flash, interspersed with white fonts.

A little boy in formal wear and a skateboard is chasing cars on the road.

The long-haired man wearing a hat was concentrating on aiming with his sniper rifle.

The blond woman's heart was covered with spider-web-like scars, but they healed and disappeared in the next second.

The sports car sped out from the building and flew through the air, leaving a cloud-like trail.

shooting.

explode.

Poisoning.

Secret room.

…

Countless death scenes appeared in an alternating pattern, flashing faster and faster, almost dizzyingly, and finally stopped abruptly.

A broken hourglass appeared in the darkness. The sand inside splashed out like blood and condensed into four words - Game Start.

After the PV that made this homemade version look well-funded ended, I entered the character creation interface.

Unlike the main game where you have to choose between two characters as the protagonist, in the homemade version, you can choose the original protagonist or create a new one. In the holographic game, more people choose the latter.

Players were too lazy to create their own characters, so they simply scanned and uploaded their own data to model them into... characters.

The young man with black hair and golden eyes was tall, handsome and had a cold expression. The clothes he automatically wore were a simple black sweatshirt and black overalls. There were many pockets all over his body, and he didn't look like a good person.

Not bad, handsome.

The player nodded in satisfaction, randomly came up with the name "Jiono Hisaji", and chose to enter the game.

The familiar loading interface popped up in front of the player. After a subtle pause at the rock icon, the last of the seven element icons, the player closed his eyes and completely immersed himself in the mental connection with the holographic game character.

…

[You came to this world by accident, and when you wanted to leave, you were trapped here. ]

[You need more information to let you know what is trapping you and how to leave.]

The concrete buildings of the Blue Star era were shrouded in the night. A black-haired young man appeared in a dark alley where no street lights could reach. He looked around and summoned the game interface.

Only the character is lit up, but after clicking in, there are only three items: character level and panel, weapon, and skill level. The relics and character stories have been deleted.

It is normal to delete and modify the homemade version.

Paimon was also deleted, and the Paimon clock function was gone, but there is usually a guiding NPC with similar functions to Paimon.

Other functions such as map, backpack, mailbox, card drawing, etc. are temporarily unavailable.

The character has only one level, and the skill level is also one level.

The weapon section is actually blank, not even a level one, one-star one-handed sword!

When it comes to playing the game, a player who relaxes without thinking carefully does not look carefully. He roughly knows that he needs to guide the NPC to unlock the function by himself and then exits the game panel.

Then attacked a passing NPC.

A young man of similar build was hit on the back of the neck by a palm strike and fell down. A number appeared on the injured area that should not have appeared given his current level and attack power - 74.

And two words, critical hit.

It's very simple. When a novice player has only a few points of damage at the beginning, a very lucky critical hit plus the weak point damage bonus can cause good damage.

...But even though all the relics are gone, there's still critical hit damage.

The NPC's health bar dropped a little, and he should have continued fighting, but he fell into a state of unconsciousness. After falling to the ground, he lost ten points of health due to the injury.

It seems that the setting is more realistic, rather than being able to fight indefinitely until the health bar reaches the bottom. I just don't know if the players do the same.

Naturally, no items would be dropped if the man was not killed. The player searched the unconscious man and obtained 20,000 yen, a USB flash drive, and a mobile phone.

The unconscious NPC with the name [Kyuki Yuichiro] on his head suddenly had a blue exclamation mark appear above his head.
