Li Mu, male, 22 years old, looked ordinary, came from an ordinary family, and was an ordinary university student.
However, he had another identity — a virtual reality game streamer.
Ever since virtual reality games became popular around the world two years ago, he joined the streamer army because he loved games and live streaming. With his eloquence and jokes, he made a small income.
However, unlike most game streamers, he focused on reviewing virtual reality games. In his words, even though virtual reality games were becoming more and more exciting, none of them were able to amaze him and make him want to continue playing them …
In the industry, he was nicknamed the "Nitpicky King" because he specialized in finding fault with virtual reality games.
In fact, this was normal.
Even though the virtual reality network had been fully developed in recent years and stealth pods had already entered the homes of ordinary people, the performance of most virtual reality engines on the market was still too poor. There would always be all kinds of ridiculous bugs in the game.
And Li Mu was trying to find this kind of bug to make the audience laugh.
Li Mu sat in front of his computer and made himself a cup of instant coffee. He then opened his streamer platform.
"I'm looking for a target for the new episode of Xiao Mu Reviews."
He looked at the data on the platform and sighed.
Recently, the quality of the new games was too poor. It was so bad that he didn't even want to review them.
This was also because many people saw a business opportunity in virtual reality. All kinds of people squeezed in to develop games. However, due to the limitations of technology, the quality of the games was terrible …
Li Mu was considered a popular streamer. He didn't care about those trashy games. He only cared about those money-burning blockbusters!
After all, finding bugs in blockbuster blockbusters gave him a sense of achievement!
"I haven't been online for a week. Let's see if there are any new games on the platform!"
Li Mu hummed as he opened the virtual reality game recommendation platform.
His gaze swept across the advertisements one by one, but he didn't stop for a moment.
"Xianxia again? This theme has been made too many times, right? Tsk tsk, 50 cents special effects again … "
"Shooting? Hmm … Not bad, but there are already many good games … Also, I made this genre in the past few episodes. I want to change it up this time … "
"Nurture beautiful girls? Hehehe … this is not bad … not bad … no, no, I don't want to be banned yet. "
He muttered to himself as he browsed through the game advertisements.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, he paused and his mouse stopped on an advertisement.
"Elven Kingdom?"
It was an inconspicuous advertisement with a towering World Tree on the cover. A beautiful and holy blonde elf was praying to the World Tree with her eyes closed.
Although the Elf girl on the cover was very pretty, in the vast majority of virtual game advertisements, this kind of cover was at most outstanding.
After all, the cover was about face. Who wouldn't know how to make a good cover? And there were simply too many cases where the cover didn't match the real thing …
Li Mu had never believed in the cover. What attracted him this time was not the cover, but the number of clicks under the advertisement of the game.
"What the hell is 3 million hits? Did you buy it from Tao Bao? "
What surprised him was that this advertisement had only been released for two days, but it had already received three million views!
Once curiosity was aroused, it could not be suppressed.
He took a sip of coffee and clicked on the advertisement.
Like many advertisements, this advertisement only had a promotional video and a link to pre-order the game. What surprised Li Mu was that the number of comments below had exceeded ten thousand.
This was not common on the virtual game platform network!
He did not click on the promotional video directly. Instead, he browsed through the comments.
"Demacia: F * ck! Did the developer hire a movie company to do the publicity? Is the budget going to explode?! "
This was the comment with the most likes.
Fantasy genre?
Li Mu raised his eyebrows.
This theme had already declined in the Celestial Empire, right? It was the dark horse of the dark horse. It was quite popular in Europe and America …
His interest was instantly reduced by more than half. However, because he was really bored, he continued to read.
"African Emperor: Fantasy online games have long declined in the Celestial Empire. If this game can become popular, I'll livestream myself eating sh * t."
This was the second popular comment, and the number of likes seemed to be surpassing that of the first popular comment.
"Pfft …"
Li Mu could not help but laugh out loud.
These days, there were people who liked to scam others.
He casually liked it and then scrolled down —
"Attack on Leg Hair: Thinking Acceleration Technology? Sounds so high and mighty. But does such a thing really exist? "
This was the third popular comment.
Thinking Acceleration Technology?
Li Mu was slightly stunned.
What was this? He had never heard of it before?
He carefully read the comments and was surprised to find that it seemed to be a new technology mentioned by the developer in the game's introduction. It was said to be able to accelerate players' thinking in the virtual world.
One hour in the game world was 15 minutes in the real world!
In other words, it could allow players to have more sensory gaming time!
So awesome? Could it be bragging? Could it be that some big shot in the industry did it? Pain News or Net Profit?
Li Mu pursed his lips and was very suspicious. Then, he glanced at the developer's name.
"World Tree Black Technology Co., Ltd. …"
His expression was a little blank.
What company was this? He had never heard of it before …
"Don't tell me it's another bragging small company?"
Li Mu frowned and felt a little disgusted.
Nowadays, internet companies are always thinking about creating big news, and they don't care about their own status anymore …
Li Mu shook his head. He was almost certain that this was another gimmick to gain popularity.
However, when he thought of the three million views, he decided to watch the promotional video.
"Let's watch the promotional video! It seems that the reviews of the promotional video are not bad. "
He tapped lightly and the screen entered the interface of the promotional video …
As it played, the computer screen suddenly went dark.
Li Mu took a sip of coffee and began to watch casually.
Accompanied by ethereal singing, the image slowly lit up.
The first thing that came into view was a majestic World Tree …
The camera gradually zoomed out with the World Tree as the center, and beautiful cities appeared in front of Li Mu's eyes. Elegant and beautiful elves shuttled through the green cities, talking and laughing, showing a real picture of the elven civilization …
At first, Li Mu was a little absent-minded, but soon, he was attracted by the constantly changing scenes.
The magical and pleasant scenery, the magnificent and unique city, the elegant and noble elves, accompanied by the cheerful and pleasant background music, made him feel like he was there.
A pleasant female voice slowly sounded and began to tell the story of the World Tree and the elves on the Segers Continent …
"Interesting, it's quite realistic. The scenery is great, the character models are very detailed, and the movements are very smooth. Also, what's the background music? It's really nice, but I don't think I've heard it before … "
Li Mu could not help but praise.
Let's not talk about the game for now. The opening animation was really detailed and realistic!
Gradually, Li Mu became serious.
The story continued …
Powerful strength gave the elves a brilliant civilization, but at the same time, it also led to arrogance and pride.
Fertility and wealth finally attracted covetous eyes.
The power of conspiracy continued to gather and eventually led to a crisis.
Suddenly, the image changed. Golden light lit up the sky, and with holy chanting and roaring, tall and blurry figures appeared.
The war had begun.
Then, lava fell from the sky, mountains collapsed, and the earth cracked. Countless holy angels of faith fought with the huge oak tree guards, and the originally peaceful scenery turned into a heroic battlefield …
Cruel battles, beautiful magic, spilled blood, magnificent miracles … …
One by one, the images reflected each other's brilliance. The tragic and dazzling scenes coupled with the ethereal, majestic, and sorrowful background music made Li Mu's eyes widen involuntarily. Looking at it, his blood spurted out, and he could not help but exclaim, "Wow."
He was amazed by the wonderful special effects, and at the same time, he developed a trace of concern and sympathy for the elves from the bottom of his heart.
Li Mu was even more entranced.
At the end of the war, there was a dispute between the gods. Under the attack of countless divine spells, the lush World Tree finally reached its end and withered …
Amidst the cries of pain, the elven civilization became history …
Accompanied by an ethereal and sorrowful song, the image fell into darkness.
The sad and moving music began to echo.
Li Mu, who was completely immersed in it, could not help but let out a long sigh, and he inexplicably resonated with it.
"Born in sorrow, die in peace … This is the rise and fall of civilization …"
A moment later, the image changed again.
A beautiful elven girl appeared in the image.
She wore a gorgeous ceremonial dress and knelt in the dilapidated Divine Nature Temple, praying to the statue with tears in her eyes …
As the girl prayed, the ethereal song gradually reached its climax. Finally, with the last chant, a deafening bell suddenly sounded!
The statue flickered slightly …
The image darkened again, and all sounds fell silent.
A few seconds later, lines of majestic and indescribably artistic words appeared on the screen:
"Magical thinking acceleration technology allows you to enjoy the game world!"
"Intelligent AI brings you an unprecedented gaming experience!"
"Create the most realistic, dense, immersive, and free epic fantasy in history!"
"On June 1st, the virtual reality online game 'Elven Kingdom' will officially be in closed beta! Welcome to sign up! "
"The Elven Kingdom awaits your salvation!"
The promotional video came to an end.
Li Mu was stunned. It seemed that he still hadn't recovered from the shock of the battle between the gods just now.
A moment later, he pinched his thigh.
"F * ck! How much money did they spend on the story and special effects! "
