Not a god

Chapter 18 I'll leave first

The day before yesterday morning, a new game was launched on the Spark platform homepage. In just half a day, it caused a lot of discussion in various game groups.

After three days of fermentation, this game has caused quite a stir.

People who have played it say it's magical, calling it "alien technology", "The Truman Show", "supernatural power", and "a game of gods".

This doesn't seem like a discussion about a game at all. People who don't understand it might think that a bunch of lunatics have joined the group at first glance.

There is no shortage of people who like to have fun online. Generally speaking, if your game is praised so highly, there must be a lot of people who want to play it for fun, right?

On the contrary, very few people actually enter the game, mainly due to two reasons.

First, these people are all empty talkers. They can't produce any evidence. They just talk without opening their mouths. But there is a saying on the Internet: If there is no picture, it's useless to talk.

Especially now, netizens are all malicious. When they are tricked, they must drag others to take the blame. They call a knife candy, Ollie Gei chocolate cake, and a Nanliang car a luxury car, just to trick the innocent and kind-hearted group members. Therefore, most people are skeptical.

The second reason is that this game is region locked, and it is not restricted to a certain country, but directly restricted to Jiangcheng. Only Jiangcheng IP can download and log in.

When will the game be locked to a prefecture-level city? Some people have tried to change the region, but still cannot log in.

So much so that those who wanted to come in to see were stopped outside.

But even so, it still can't stop those who have played it from spreading it virally, and they are going crazy without any care.

In the end they just stopped caring about those who couldn't play and started discussing among themselves.

Ye Tiandi: I am at the Weimin Community. I don't dare to go up anymore. There is a Bo Gang below the community. He has killed me twice.
Pure Athletics Student: I died twice and felt dizzy and nauseous. I am not allowed to fall asleep and have to wait 12 hours.

Dried Fish Rice Bowl: I died three times and felt a little dizzy, but there was no prompt prohibiting entry.

Innocent Athletics Student: I have awakened to my destiny, a life of selling charcoal, I don’t know what that means, but I will still die.

Ye Tiandi: @Pure Love Sports Student, does that mean you will awaken after dying once? "

This is how Mikasa uses it: Damn, I’m so lucky!
The guy who awakened his destiny suddenly became the focus, and several players chased him and asked questions.

From time to time someone would say a few words of doubt.

"You'll know after you try it. I suggest you set the immersion level to the lowest for the first time, but the lowest is only 15%, and it will still hurt."

Then after more than ten minutes, those who were just skeptical also went crazy.

What cyber meme?
New people are constantly joining the group.

Group Manager: What's going on? Why are there so many people here all of a sudden?
Blind and Stupid: I don't know, I saw it on Tieba and it was funny

Group manager: It’s broken, 8u called.
Some group members forwarded the chat records and took a screenshot and posted it on Tieba, Tik Tok, etc. In this way, this game continued to go viral in various ways.

Although there are two reasons mentioned above, not many people actually try to download and play the game, but how big is Jiangcheng?
As a new first-tier city, it has a permanent population of more than 20 million. Given this ratio, how many people in Jiangcheng downloaded the game just for fun after listening to the discussions among the group members?

Su Jiuer is one of them.

She is a sophomore at Tianfu University. On the surface, she is the current director of the Sports Department of the Student Union. In secret, she is Tianfu University's second best shooter, second best duelist, second best swordsman, a hundred-star great scholar, the Monkey King of the Canyon, and a gaming expert who can react to the Flying Thunder God's Great Slash.

She admitted that she had initially clicked in just to join in the fun and see whether it was the Monkey King or King Jiji under the veil.

But now 5 hours have passed and she is already in a state of panic!

Let’s not talk about the psychological descriptions that everyone who has just entered this game will have. If this is really a game, Su Jiuer really wants to curse which bastard planner came up with this game!
She didn't want to leave the dormitory, but this damn game actually made her hungry. Staying in the room would be a dead end, so Su Jiuer picked up a knife hidden under the bed and escaped through the cracks of Tianning South Road to Tianfu Square.

I couldn't find anything to eat!

This dreamland is based on the original world. The buildings, vehicles, and all objects are scanned to generate a roughly similar but wasteland apocalyptic world.

Of course there was food, but it all looked decades old and seriously expired.

This is not the point. The point is that she made too much noise when she was rummaging through the store just now, and startled a terrible monster.

She was chased by the monster for several streets, but it was not because she was good at fighting that she could survive for so long.

But because it is an intelligent being.

Rather than treating her as prey, it was more like a cat encountering a mouse, enjoying the process of chasing and killing her.

But now, the monster seems to be tired of playing.

"It's actually a real human. It's been a long time since I've seen a little mouse fall into a dream."

The snow monster's claws like dead trees pinched her neck and lifted her up. Her toes couldn't touch the ground. Su Jiuer had a painful look on her face as if she was about to die. However, she took advantage of the other party's carelessness, suddenly pulled out the dagger hidden in her sleeve, and stabbed the other party's eyes.

However, the gap between the two sides was too big, and this little trick could not be hidden from the other side at all.

The snow monster teased, "It's still a rat with thorns."

Then, before being stabbed, he threw it away fiercely.

The girl turned into a meteor and smashed into the shops on the street.

"Boom-"

The glass of the cafe shattered all over the floor with a bang. She rolled on the ground several times and felt like all the bones in her body were falling apart.

Even if you adjust the immersion level to the lowest, the pain of being pricked by needles all over your body is no joke.

“Hiss, it hurts…”

She hunched over on the ground in pain, her expression becoming ferocious: "What a plan!"

She has no weapons, and her damn destiny hasn't been awakened. Before entering the game, she just gets excited and kicked in.

Just when I got familiar with the operation and it was almost the same as in real life, I was faced with this horrible monster.

This is attack, this is defense, this is Erlang of Guanjiangkou.

"No, it's impossible to beat him." Su Jiuer thought about what those people in the group said. This game has no exit mechanism and the only way to exit is death.

She was holding a piece of glass on the ground.

Generally speaking, it is better to kill yourself than to be tortured to death, but she is unwilling to do so!

Even a clay figure can still have some temper, how can you still bully me in my dream? Let’s fight to the death!
"Junior Sister Jiuer?"

There's someone in the store!

Su Jiuer quickly turned her head and saw someone behind the bar.

She wandered around here for more than four hours and encountered a living person for the first time.

This person called her Junior Sister, so they should be classmates? A senior or a graduate student?

She looked carefully, her eyes lit up, then sank again.

"Brother Chen Xi?"

Chen Xi, the director of the Sports Department of the previous Student Union, was also her senior, but he quit the Student Union this semester because he became a senior.

As this term's director of the Sports Department, Su Jiuer has been at his beck and call throughout her freshman year. She has always thought that Chen Xi speaks in a sarcastic and cool way, and she likes dealing with cool people.

But I don’t want to let my senior brother see me in this miserable state!
Su Jiuer supported her waist and stood up. She felt that two of her ribs were broken. She was in so much pain but still looked strong. She said coolly:

"Brother, why are you here?!"

"I own this store, so of course I'm here."

"No, I mean this is..."

Su Jiuer quickly responded: "Are you also playing "The Destiny Man"? "

"That's right..."

"It turns out that this is not a stand-alone game. There are other players. But what is going on with this game..."

Chen Xi ignored her thoughts and looked at the broken glass on the ground, wondering why the glass in his house was always being smashed.

The Yeti outside the house issued a classic fish monster declaration:

"There are two little mice. They can have a big meal today."

"That thing is coming!"

Su Jiuer gritted her teeth and said, "Brother! I have implicated you, run away quickly."

Chen Xi was not in a hurry, "That thing seems to be the evil corpse in the game, do you need help, Junior Sister?"

"No, I led him here. I'm going to lead him away now. Brother, you take this opportunity to leave quickly."

"I understand. Junior sister, you need to work harder."

"I'll try to delay it a little longer."

"Well, I'll log off first."

As Chen Xi spoke, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Watching Chen Xi leave, Su Jiuer breathed a sigh of relief. If she had dragged her senior brother down, she would have felt guilty to death, but soon, she realized that something seemed to be wrong.

Eh?
Offline?

Question marks kept growing on the girl's head, like Slow Sheep's wisdom grass, dragging all the way to the ground.

This game...can't be taken offline?

"Senior brother?"

"still there?"

"Hello?"

"??"

Really offline...

No! If you can go offline, take me with you!

How do I log off?!
"..."

"..."

"..."

Five minutes later, Su Jiuer successfully gave away a kill after a struggle. She opened her eyes again and found that she had been sitting in front of the computer in the house.

Five hours had passed and she was starving.

The girl's mind was empty and she stared at the computer screen in a trance.

"You are dead. Cause of death: your neck was bitten by the evil corpse."

"You have successfully awakened your destiny and are destined to wield the sword."

"System data is being updated..."

After a few minutes, she recovered and turned back to the game chat group to join the crazy army.
