Chapter 1 Lucky Wheel
He Xiaosai walked out of the company's door and felt unspeakable relaxed and happy!
"Freedom! (Freedom)" He Xiaosai shouted heart-wrenchingly. Even the defender of freedom, Wallace, felt inferior to that.
"Damn it! I'm sick!" A passerby who happened to pass by him was shocked, cursed in a low voice, and then looked at him with contempt.
He Xiaosai has been in sales for three years, and he has long been unmoved by this kind of rolling eyes. When he was about my brother who went to the unit to promote sales, he was driven by the security guard and was not discouraged. What is the matter of rolling eyes? Just have money. In this world, laugh at the poor but not the prostitute. If you have money, who cares where you make money, rolling eyes will turn red eyes!
Money! He Xiaosai subconsciously touched his trouser bag. Well, not much, it's still there.
This is the salary I just settled from the company's finances. 12oo yuan, plus 35oo yuan in the bank deposit, which should be enough for He Xiaosai, a frugal guy, to last for a while, at least there is no problem before finding his next job.
Why don’t you find a job first and then quit? This is how normal people do it.
He Xiaosai is also a normal person, of course he will think so, but my brother resigned passionately today!
I can no longer stand the stingy boss. I just got half of my commission because I was a few days late for the payment. So my long-term grudges instantly exploded, and I fucked you! You must have backbone in life!
"Gu" He Xiaosai screamed in his stomach. It was probably because the quarrel just now consumed too much energy.
I have the backbone, but I will lose the energy if I don’t eat.
Yes, eat first! People are iron and food are steel. If you don’t eat for a meal, you’re hungry!
He Xiaosai walked into a small restaurant and ordered two stir-fry dishes, a bottle of beer, a total of 60 yuan! Today is an exception. In the past, I would not eat so luxuriously! It is a celebration of rebirth!
Before the food came, He Xiaosai was drinking free tea while watching TV.
An online game promotional advertisement is being played on TV.
The TV screen shows pirates, treasures, warships, and fierce battles!
"The ocean, the largest unknown area on the earth, contains so many unknown creatures and endless treasures. Let us ride on the sailing giant ship, return to that passionate era, explore the unknown world, find attractive treasures, fight with pirates, and start a war with the navy! Looking forward to you - the bloodthirsty sail!"
This is Microhard Entertainment, the world's largest electronic game company, recently promoted an online game to players around the world - Bloodthirsty Wind Sail!
This game is set in the background of sail warships and naval battles, integrating adventure, pirates, commerce, urban construction, and magical multi-elements as a thrilling virtual reality online game!
He Xiaosai has seen this advertisement many times. Today, he finds it particularly attractive.
Interviews with players and player guilds from all over the country began to play on TV.
Host: "Hello everyone, everyone, everyone, it's time for the interview for Bloodthirsty Express. Today we will interview all the players of the game Bloodthirsty Wind Sail!"
Once the camera is changed, it is the host's interview with a British player.
Host: "My friend, can you talk about your experience of the bloodthirsty sail?"
Player a: "The virtual environment is really good! It gives me a feeling of being there! In addition to visual experience, touch, hearing, and smell, it can also be experienced in the game!"
Host: "Is it really that powerful? Can you give an example?"
Player a: "For example, in the game that day, a beautiful girl passed by me, and I actually smelled a faint fragrance. I couldn't help but touch the girl's little hand. I didn't expect the girl to turn around and slapped her. Fake! The slap my face so much that it hurts. So the system determined that I was harassed and was jailed for an hour, and my reputation was reduced by 100 yuan."
Host: "I just touched my hand, it's not that simple! Haha... I deserve it!"
Player a: "Please, don't talk nonsense. I just want to use this to illustrate the vision, touch, hearing, and smell of the game!"
...
Host: "Now let's interview the American Iron Man, the president of the Bloodthirsty Guild of the No. guild in the game. Hello, what is the positioning of your guild in the game?"
Iron Man: "Of course it's just playing games! Ha...! Just kidding, in fact, since the first day of our guild was established, our guild positioning was a war, that is, war! We will engage in foreign aggression wars, seize resources, and finally establish our own city-state of the Bloodthirsty Guild!"
Host: "So strong! Let's interview Japanese Orochimaru, the president of the Black Sail Guild. As the top pirate Guild, do you have anything to say to players from all countries in the game?"
Orochimaru: "Don't blame us for robbing your things. If pirates don't rob, then they won't be called pirates. If you have any opinions, you can come to the island of Life to find me, but you have to bring more ships to avoid us being able to kill them! Haha..."
...
He Xiaosai was more interested in this game when he watched the TV interview.
As a former online game expert, due to life, he has not played games for many years. Since he has resigned now and does not plan to find a job immediately and does nothing at home, so why not play games and give himself a vacation! Well, yes, then go to the specialty store to learn about the situation of this game later.
After dinner, He Xiaosai came to the specialty store of "Bloodthirsty Sail".
As soon as he entered the door, a shopping guide came up. Wow! It was so beautiful! The white skin was so white and the waves were so surging. Seeing her getting closer, He Xiaosai suddenly felt a little panicked.
"Sir, welcome!" said the shopping guide with a smile.
"Oh, okay, I'll take a look!" He Xiaosai said, wiping his saliva,
"Okay, please watch it casually! If you have any questions, please feel free to consult!" The shopping guide walked away with a smile.
Today I just came here to find out the situation. I haven’t decided whether to buy it or not, so I have no nerve to let you do it in vain.
He Xiaosai thought and watched, and the more he watched, the more he felt the game was attractive.
Damn! I haven’t played online games for several years, and I’ve been so advanced! I can’t even see it, I’m really out!
"Beautiful girl! Come here, how do you play this thing?" He Xiaosai waved to the shopping guide just now and said,
"This is the latest and hottest holographic reality game "Bloodthirsty Sail". This is the game helmet. Put it on, connect the device and you can enter the game. That is the host, which is specially used to connect to the server..." The shopping guide introduced carefully, and He Xiaosai was also staring at the ups and downs on the shopping guide's chest - the badge. 5757? It's the same as the last number of my mobile phone.
Oh! The badge suddenly reflected the light above the head, almost blinding the dog's eyes!
"Well, how much does this set cost?" He Xiaosai turned his attention to the beautiful face of the shopping guide No. 5757.
It is impolite to speak without looking at other people's faces, and sales people understand it.
"998 yuan!"
"..." He Xiaosai was short of money.
"Oh..., how long has the server been on?" He Xiaosai said, but in his heart he was thinking about how much living expenses he had after buying the game equipment. 12oo35oo-12oo, divided by 5o yuan a day, is equal to...
"It's been two weeks since the service started!" 5757 answered,
"I've been playing football for two weeks now! Other people's magical costumes have come out!" He Xiaosai thought to himself,
5757 seemed to see He Xiaosai’s concern and said with a smile: "Actually, don’t worry, the balance mechanism of game business micro-hard entertainment is very good! Although the characters and skill levels are important, they are not the main reason for winning in the duel. The game itself is like a treasure, encouraging players to explore and realize in depth. Every decision of the player will affect his exhibition in the game, so playing early does not necessarily mean that he will be well!" No. 5757 said with a smile,
"Oh? Is that true?" He Xiaosai was skeptical.
"In addition, if the gap between players increases with the length of the game, new players will never be able to compete with old players, and then there will be fewer and fewer new players. How can such a product be a good product? Besides, old players also hope that there will be more and more new players. Isn't it?"
"oh……"
"At present, there are more than 100 million players in the game, and online equipment transactions are very popular, and some equipment even sold at a high price of 80,000 yuan!"
"80,000? Japanese yen or Vietnamese dong?"
"Of course it's US dollars!"
"Damn!"
"In addition, the users who purchased today also have a lottery!" 5757 pointed to the computer and said,
"What kind of lottery method?"
"Lucky Ruler** Lucky Ruler! Award for various equipment, props, and magical tools!"
"We don't expect a magic weapon. I have bought lottery tickets for so many years and have only won 2oo yuan once. Okay, I'll give me a set of "Bloodthirsty Sails"!" He Xiaosai finally made up his mind.
"Okay! Please go to the cashier there to pay, I'll get you a new set." No. 5757 smiled happily, like a blooming flower.
"Please come here to draw!" He Xiaosai paid the payment and was called to the computer by 5757.
"This is the lottery turntable in the game. You can draw the steering wheel!"
He Xiaosai followed the instructions and stroked his fingers on the touch screen, and the steering wheel started to rotate.
...
Ding, the steering wheel stopped under a small box.
"Congratulations on getting a mysterious treasure chest! Please record the item number and redeem the prize in the game!" A line of text popped up by the computer.
"Wow, the mysterious treasure chest!" 5757 shouted from the side.
"Is it very rare?" He Xiaosai's eyes slanted.
"Of course! It's usually wooden treasure chests, iron treasure chests, etc. Among all the awards drawn around the world, the mysterious treasure chests have only appeared five times!"
"As long as you don't give me any stinky salted fish, I'll be satisfied with rotten eggs, haha!" Although He Xiaosai was calm on the surface, he was in a turbulent heart. He wanted to claim the prize immediately and see what it was.
Chapter completed!
