Because it is more important, I will mention it first.

The contents of this chapter are written in the real world where the protagonist lives (purely fictional).

Some of the players involved will appear in later plots, and some are secondary characters for book friends. Some of the secondary characters may have independent plots, so they may not appear in the main text.

Hmm...if the main plot fails, I'll write a side story or something like that.

I will mark it as "extra" when the time comes, but I don't know if I can defraud you of your money, hehehe.

For Lu Xuexian, New Year's Day in 2021 always feels too far away.

The bed covered with a thick quilt did not make her feel much warmth. On the contrary, looking at the monotonous scenery outside the window, she could fully feel that her life was passing by bit by bit.

How long has it been since she left this ward?

Conspicuous blue signs can be seen everywhere in the spacious and bright room. The "Hainlan Pharmaceutical" on the back was once a name she was proud of, but now it is a source of pain for her.

When she was healthy a few years ago, she never thought that she would be like this now, lying on the hospital bed in despair and weakness, waiting for the pain to swallow up her life little by little.

It would be great if she could get better, she thought and closed her eyes quietly.

"Are you sure this thing is useful?" In her daze, she heard a man's voice.

"It works." Another voice replied.

"Can it cure diseases? It says on your packaging that this is a game cabin!"

"It can't cure the disease. But at least it can protect your daughter from death!"

After these words, there was a long silence.

"I understand." The familiar man's voice said, "When can we start?"

"There are still two days left. Our game cabin is under unified operation control, so please ensure the safety of your daughter."

"……I see."

…

Tianhai City, China.

"Let's go slowly, Uncle Ming." Downstairs of the club building, a young man smoking a cigarette said mockingly to the tall and thin figure outside the door, "Oh no, it's Mingshen."

He raised his eyebrows and puffed out mist, his sinister tone full of sarcasm.

The figure outside the door was indifferent.

This young man known as "Uncle Ming" suddenly said after staring at the night for a while: "That account is not suitable for you."

"ha?"

"You don't have enough experience. The account master only ordered counter-attack skills, and you are still not good at them." The tall and thin young man turned around and smiled calmly at him, "Let's play the main attack skills, otherwise Gu Yu

The name Qingming will be abolished."

After he said this, he turned around and left, disappearing into the vast sea of ​​people.

At the same time, the headlines of major game media are reporting a piece of news:

"The first person in "The Gunslinger" has sadly retired! Did the great master "Gu Yu Qingming" retire voluntarily or was he forced to terminate his contract?"

"The tg game club is undergoing a major change! The gun master abdicates and the alliance takes the stage!"

“R Gaming announced that it will take moba games as its main business direction and will continue to maintain a wait-and-see attitude towards Deep Space.”

At a busy intersection, the person who was the focus of the news was looking at the tall electronic advertising screen on the side of the building, somewhat lost in thought.

On the electronic screen, there was an advertisement about "Deep Space".

This game appeared like a storm some time ago and swept all over the world. Now, with the continuous leakage of various video materials, the attention of players is showing explosive growth.

Looking at the camera, a man was holding an anti-equipment sniper rifle, dodging the fire in a slight panic, and setting up a gun to counterattack the bipedal robot in the distance. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

""Deep Space"... maybe you can give it a try."

…

Sakura Country Nara Prefecture.

Deep in a courtyard that looks simple and solemn, in a small room with no more than three floors, a young man with hair permed as tall as onions is carefully placing his figurines in the closet.

For him, this is the most secret place in the house, the cubicle farthest away from his room, and will not be discovered by anyone in any case. This is the place where the belongings of his grandfather, the previous patriarch of the family, are stored.

He couldn't let people know that the dignified eldest son of the Black Sekai family actually liked the figure of a battleship transformed into a girl.

"Master Liang! Master Liang, where are you? It's time to eat!" A shout came from the courtyard.

"Oh, oh! Here it comes!"

He quickly zipped up the closet, patted the dust on his butt and knees, and ran out of the small cubicle in a panic.

At the dinner table, his father was in a rare mood and drank to his heart's content.

"Good boy!"

"Ah! Here, Father." The young man who was lost in thought was startled.

"Has Liangzi discussed with the students in the class what games they like to play?" His father's face was red and he looked drunk.

"Ah? No, no..."

"That's not okay!" The father slammed the table, "How can I, the son of the Kurosawa family, not play games!"

What kind of novel family rule is this! Kurosawa Ryo complained secretly in his heart.

"Twenty years ago, your father and I took a bunch of our boys to play Dynasty Warriors in a street game store! Have you heard of it?"

For this father who raised his voice whenever he was in high spirits, he could only respond in a low voice: "I've heard it, I've heard it..."

"Hahaha! If you haven't played the youth of Dynasty Warriors, it's not youth!"

Kurosawa-san was complaining crazily in his heart, but the younger brothers had no choice but to shamelessly shout: "Remember big brother's teachings!"

"So!" His father finally got to the point, "I just bought you a good thing from the game store."

He clapped his hands, and immediately there was a sound of footsteps below.

Four powerful men walked into the house carrying an egg-shaped machine and placed it on the ground.

The moment Kurosawa saw this thing, he was stunned by his father's generous move.

Even an otaku like him can understand the news that has been circulating wildly on the Internet recently. This eggshell game cabin with the "blazar" logo on it made his expression gradually become dull.

"Deep, deep space..."

A scene kept flashing through his mind: on the azure sea, huge mechanical monsters were trying to invade human ships, and in the port painted with the flag of Sakura Country, girls who had already installed their habitats were waiting for the admiral.

Last order.

"Sakura Country's Third Heavy Cruiser Fleet, attack!"

…

It is now December 28, 2020, and on the official website of "Deep Space", a 72-hour countdown to the server launch has officially appeared.

The first batch of 800,000 Game Pods has been sold out. Public opinion about this game on the Internet has been completely ignited. More and more players are chanting, hoping that a batch of new games can be released in large quantities before the game is launched.

cabin.

No one particularly thought about those few words before the countdown to server opening.

"Reality or fiction, technology or magic."

"Choose to stay rooted in the earth or look up to the stars."

"High-dimensional observers are correcting the final coordinates of the space-time connection."

"There are still 52:04:17 left until the world of "Deep Space" is successfully connected..."
Chapter completed!
