One afternoon in the summer of 21XX, on the 24th floor of an ordinary residential building in Xiaoshan, Hua Xia Country, a series of ear-piercing "Ping" "Ping" "Ping" "Ping" continuously rang out. On this quiet afternoon, it was especially annoying.
Unit 2402, a room about a hundred square meters in size, a black-haired youth held a hammer in one hand and pressed the other against a metal stand. He forcefully hammered on the partition of the stand. Because the size of the stand didn't seem to be suitable, it didn't fit well. The youth was trying hard to force the shape of the stand to fit.
With a "Kuang", following the youth's forceful hammering, the whole stand suddenly got stuck in the place where it originally couldn't go. The whole thing was basically completed. At a glance, it looked like a large massage chair. It was slightly bigger than a massage chair, but there was a semi-circular "cover" at the head of the chair. It looked like the machine used in barber shops for perming hair, but the top of the cover was densely packed with all kinds of wires. Of course, these wires were too messy. One look and you could tell that they were homemade. In the 22nd century, these kinds of "appliances" with bare wires could not pass the factory standard.
Next to the "massage chair" was a normal home computer. Of course, computers nowadays only had one display because the main computer and the display were already integrated. The display was white with black text, densely packed with English and Arabic numerals. Even a professional computer learner might not be able to understand what it was.
"Done!" As the stand was put in place, the youth slightly wiped his sweat and revealed a naughty smile. "My hands-on skills are really out of this world. It only took me three days to complete the gaming chamber. Tianyu Corporation thinks that I can't play this game just because I have a record with the Public Security Bureau. I can make a gaming chamber in three days. Let's see how you can stop me from playing. Let's test the program and see if I can connect to Tianyu's network. "
Just as the youth picked up the wireless keyboard in his hand and was about to change it, suddenly there was a "Ping Ping" sound from the door. At the same time, a female voice shouted, "Open the door! Li Huailin, open the door! "
"Uh …" Li Huailin heard the voice from the door. He rubbed his nose helplessly, but still walked over to open the door.
"I say, Sister Juan, there's no need to shout so loudly. People will think that I owe you something." Li Huailin opened the door, and a mature woman who looked less than 30 years old was looking at him angrily. Although this woman wasn't young, she had big eyes and a sharp chin. She had a perfect face that exuded charm and a devilish figure. She was simply the type that could charm people to death. But now, this beauty was angrily looking at Li Huailin. In addition to her anger, her face also had a look of tiredness.
"Do you know what time it is?" When the beauty saw Li Huailin, she immediately asked with her eyes wide open.
Li Huailin looked at the electronic watch on his wrist. "I know. It's 2: 14 in the afternoon. I say, Sister Juan, there's no need to ring so loudly just to ask the time."
"Don't you know what time I go to work? Don't you know that I need to catch up on sleep in the afternoon?! " Sister Juan looked at Li Huailin, who was pretending to be ignorant, and her resentment grew. "It's already been three days. What are you doing, knocking and knocking? One moment, the sound of a chainsaw, the next moment, the sound of a hammer. How do you expect me to catch up on sleep? How do you expect me to go to work at night?"
The beauty's name was Chen Juan. She lived in Room 2401 of this building. Simply put, she was Li Huailin's neighbor. And her so-called "work" was actually going to some nightclub or bar every night, and then hooking up with a rich guy. If she was lucky, she would have a few months or a year's worth of living expenses. Chen Juan didn't have a fixed job. Usually, she relied on her beauty to find a man to make a living. If she had time, she would also do odd jobs, such as being a part-time model or walking on the runway. Her "working hours" started at 5 in the evening, and she slept in the afternoon and morning. For the past three days, Li Huailin would start knocking at her door at 8 in the morning. It was so noisy that she hadn't been able to sleep well for the past three days, and so she made a ruckus for three consecutive days. Speaking of which, although Li Huailin usually knew this neighbor, because their work and rest schedules were too different, they didn't have much to talk to each other. In the past three days, the two of them had talked more than the two of them had talked since he moved here.
"Today is really the last day. That's great." Li Huailin smiled helplessly. Although his voice was a little loud, he was working during the day, and not disturbing the residents at night. But when he encountered a person who was upside down at night, and a woman at that, how was he supposed to reason with her?
"I haven't slept well for three days. Look at these dark circles under my eyes." Chen Juan used her finger to point at her eyes, and said angrily, "How can I go to work like this? Without a man, are you going to support me?"
"Don't joke around. Your bag is equivalent to my living expenses for a year. How can I afford to support you?" Li Huailin smiled, "It's more like you're going to support me."
"Huh?" When Chen Juan heard this sentence, she didn't know why but her anger subsided. She looked up and down at Li Huailin, and then suddenly showed a bad smile, "That's fine, handsome boy. Why don't I support you in the future?"
"Hehe." Li Huailin shook his head helplessly, "I still trust my left hand. Sister Juan, it's getting late. Why don't you go back to sleep? Don't you still have work at night? This time, I really won't make a fuss. I definitely won't make a fuss."
"Don't be like this. Sister's left hand is also very powerful." As Chen Juan spoke, she also made an up and down movement with her left hand. At the same time, her body softened, and a strong seductive feeling gushed out.
"I sell my skills, not my body. I will not bend my might, and I will not move." Li Huailin raised his head and said with a straight face.
"Humph." Chen Juan flung her head, "You better not disturb me anymore. Otherwise, this sister will really push down a little virgin like you."
"This is not pushing down. This is naked rape." Li Huailin corrected.
"That's right. What are you going to do with me?" Chen Juan said with a bad smile.
"Heroine, please let me live …." Li Huailin was speechless.
"Humph, in the future, keep your eyes open. Don't provoke people that you can't afford to provoke." Chen Juan straightened up her pair of white rabbits that couldn't even be covered by her clothes, and said, "I'll let you off this time, okay? Big sister is going to sleep now, don't bother me anymore."
"Your Excellency is magnanimous." Li Huailin cupped his fists and bowed.
"Hehe." This action made Chen Juan laugh. She covered her mouth and once again looked up and down at Li Huailin with teasing eyes. Then she left.
After sending Chen Juan away, Li Huailin could finally come back to finish his work. Picking up the keyboard in his hand, Li Huailin's eyes changed. Then his hands suddenly began to type crazily. If an ordinary person saw this, they would think that he was typing randomly. Because the speed was too fast. Even typing couldn't be this fast, not to mention he was programming.
"There should be no problem." Looking at the white words on the monitor, Li Huailin said to himself, "Speaking of which, Tianyu Corporation is really f * cking black-hearted. A gaming chamber costs 599998 yuan. This set of self-made materials only cost a little more than 20,000 yuan. The processor is a little more expensive, but the other things don't cost much …."
Thinking of what happened three days ago, Li Huailin was still a little angry. Three days ago, he saw an advertisement saying that Tianyu Corporation and the government had developed a cross-era online game called "Heart of Glory." It was said that it was a virtual online game with a 98% degree of realism. Not only in Hua Xia, but there were also server agents in other countries. It was also said that there would be a new version update soon. There would be cross-server battles between countries.
"Heart of Glory" had not been launched yet, but the advertisement was already everywhere. It was hard for Li Huailin not to know about it. In the 22nd century, playing online games had also become an acceptable profession. It was already very common. But this time, it was a little strange because the government actually publicly supported "Heart of Glory." They also encouraged people without jobs to participate in this online game. As long as they played for 90 hours a month, they would receive a security fee of 2000 yuan from the government.
After the rapid development of productivity in the 22nd century, the need for manpower was getting lower and lower. Large-scale farming machines were available for farming. Large-scale breeding factories were available for raising livestock. Computers and the internet replaced most of the human work. Originally, a large company with tens of thousands of people could be run by a few hundred people. In addition, the population of the earth was increasing. Ten years ago, the population had exceeded ten billion. So, there were more and more unemployed people. The government did not lack money, but with so many people without jobs, they could only cause trouble everywhere. In order to reduce the pressure, the government tried to cooperate with Tianyu Corporation and launched "Heart of Glory."
It was a very comfortable thing to be able to play games and earn money. Li Huailin also wanted to play after seeing the advertisement. However, when he went to buy the helmet, he ran into trouble. It was not that he could not afford it. A gaming cabin did indeed cost 599998 yuan. However, for most poor people, there was a cheaper version of the virtual reality helmet. It only cost 19998 yuan. It was not expensive. The trouble that Li Huailin ran into was that he could not buy it.
"I'm sorry, sir. According to the records, you have a criminal record. So, you are not qualified to buy a gaming helmet," a customer service staff said to Li Huailin with a smile.
"Really? Didn't you say in the advertisement that people with criminal records can't buy it? I came all the way here, and now you're telling me that I can't buy it?" Li Huailin waited in line for a long time before he found out that he could not buy it. Of course, he was in a bad mood.
"This … this is the rule …" the customer service staff could only explain calmly, "Look at the bottom right corner of the flyer. It's actually written."
Li Huailin looked at the flyer again. In the small corner of the lower right corner, he really did find that line of words.
So, Li Huailin came back.
The more he thought about it, the more unhappy Li Huailin became. Just like that, he began to go down the wrong path. "This helmet is made up of some brainwave collecting devices and an imager. Why don't I make my own? With this little bit of technology, I should be able to make it too. Then, I just need to write a program to connect to Tianyu's network. Then, I can play. "
After three days of testing, Li Huailin had basically completed this self-made gaming cabin. Although in terms of appearance, it could not be compared to the gaming cabins made by big manufacturers, it had all the basic functions.
"Hurry up and try it. See if it can connect to the official network." Memory Recall explained. Li Huailin could not wait to sit in this self-made gaming cabin. He pressed down on the hood on his head, and soon, it was connected to the network.
Li Huailin felt a wave of darkness. After waiting for ten seconds, just when he thought it would not work, a Tianyu logo suddenly popped up in front of him. Then, it was another wave of darkness. Ten seconds later, the opening animation started playing.
Li Huailin had already seen this opening animation on the official website, so he did not pay much attention to it. However, just two seconds into the broadcast, the image suddenly froze. Then, it was originally showing an ancient battlefield, and the hot-blooded battle between various races. Suddenly, a bunch of errors appeared on the screen. Originally, tens of thousands of people were fighting on a plain, but suddenly, the ground became an ocean. Tens of thousands of people were "standing" on the ocean as they fought. Originally, the city in the distance was still smoking and on fire, but suddenly, it became a forest with trees floating everywhere.
"Huh? What's going on? It's frozen? " Li Huailin looked at the scene in front of him inexplicably. Before he could analyze what was going on, the animation on this side had already finished playing. Li Huailin felt his body lighten, and then a white palace appeared in front of him.
"The interface to create a character … This is a bit more normal. What happened just now? Is there something wrong with my black technology?" Li Huailin did not understand, but he did not care.
"'Heart of Glory' welcomes you. Please create a character." Suddenly, a very hoarse voice came from in front of Li Huailin. The voice was really strange. Not only was it hoarse, but it also sounded like a radio that had run out of battery.
Li Huailin looked up and was shocked. In front of him was a woman in white clothes. It was probably a woman because Li Huailin could only see her body. There were two long black lines on her face, cutting her face into three pieces. Not to mention whether she was a woman, he could not even tell whether she was human.
"What … what demon are you?"
"I am a rookie waiter in 'Heart of Glory'. I am responsible for character creation," the mosaic character replied in a super hoarse and scary voice.
"Hey hey, you made such a scary character to be a rookie waiter. Aren't you afraid of scaring the children?" Li Huailin wiped his face.
"Please create a character." The rookie waiter was just a computer program. Without keywords, she could only repeat the standard answer.
"Okay, okay. Although it's a bit scary, I'll create a character …" Li Huailin accepted the scary face and began to create a character.
"Character name." The rookie waiter began to ask questions.
"Ruolin with a Big Heart." In fact, this name was read in a book by Li Huailin's father when he gave him this name. Later, Li Huailin had been using this name as his online name.
"No duplicate names," the rookie waiter said in a hoarse and unpleasant voice. "Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Please select a race." As soon as the rookie waiter finished speaking, a virtual panel appeared in front of Li Huailin's eyes. On it were the introductions and specialties of the six races in 'Heart of Glory' (Humans, Dwarves, Elves, Demons, Orcs, and Undead).
Knight Li Huailin had already seen the introductions of these races on the official website. Now that he had a look, he still felt that the racial talents of Humans were Intelligence (+ 10% Intelligence) and Diplomacy (+ 10 Reputation in all main cities except the main cities of the human race) were more suitable for him. After all, his goal was to become a mage. Among the six races, only humans increased Intelligence. Intelligence could increase magic damage, so human mages were more reliable. As for the Diplomacy talent, it was just an additional talent. It was better than nothing, so Li Huailin didn't pay much attention to it. After all, it was only 10 Reputation points, which was 5% cheaper than buying things in the main city. If he wanted to increase it further, he would still have to do quests. It was not very useful.
If he wanted to choose a profession, he would have to wait until he was level 10 and leave the novice village. Then, he would find a profession instructor in the main city to change his profession. So, after choosing a race, he directly entered the game.
"I choose Humans. Confirm?"
"Confirm."
"I wish you a happy game."
Although the words of the novice waiter were not bad, the voice was too … However, before Li Huailin could frown for a while, his vision turned black. When he opened his eyes again, Li Huailin had already appeared in a small village.
Li Huailin was slightly stunned because the surrounding scenery was too real. Although he had played some virtual online games before, he could still tell that it was not real. But this time, Heart of Glory was indeed real. Li Huailin was shocked.
A simple but real house, a beautiful and peaceful environment. Li Huailin took a small breath and found that even the air seemed to be real. Looking at the players running around in twos and threes, Li Huailin subconsciously raised his right hand and slightly clenched his fist to feel his body.
"It really is awesome. I didn't expect this online game to be really 98% real. I didn't waste this trip." Li Huailin said with a self-satisfied smile. "I didn't expect my self-made gaming cabin to be so useful. Tianyu Company is only at this level."
After saying that, Li Huailin silently said "Character" based on his previous experience in online games, and an interface popped up.

"Damn, what's going on?" Li Huailin looked at the character attributes and was shocked.
