Evil Immortal!

Chapter 64: Public Beta Begins, Players Arrive (Part 1)

The real world.

Sizzle—

After blanching the tomatoes with crosses cut into them in hot water, Zhang Wei peeled them, diced them, and poured them into a hot pan. The oil sizzled and steamed.

Add some special chili sauce and other seasonings, stir-fry a few times, and wait for the sauce to fully blend with the tomatoes. Add water, bring it to a boil, and then pour in the scrambled eggs.

Finally, sprinkle with finely chopped green onions and drizzle with a few drops of sesame oil. A fragrant and steaming bowl of tomato and egg noodles is ready!

He was wearing beach shorts, a sleeveless white tank top, and flip-flops. His hair was messy, his face was oily, and there was even sleep in the corners of his eyes. He looked like a greasy middle-aged man.

He lazily placed the noodles in front of and behind the computer desk.

Zhang Wei habitually turned on his computer, but instead of searching for his usual favorite TV shows to watch while eating, he opened the official forum for the game "Evil Immortal".

【Evil Immortal】is a dark fantasy game developed by Eternal Group.

This is another masterpiece developed by the company after the two popular online games, "Honghuang" and "Fengshen Legend"!

According to the game's official statement, this game is different from all previous holographic online games. It uses the latest realistic simulation computing technology, and the background operation uses the most advanced AI for daily operation and maintenance, resulting in extremely high realism and freedom.

Everlasting Group has been promoting and advertising the game both online and offline for the past five years.

Zhang Wei is a holographic online game enthusiast. His day job is as an employee of an e-commerce company. Because he is too busy with work, he rarely plays games. He is either at work or on his way to work every day.

Working hours are like working an ox, and getting off work is like being a dead dog.

At just over thirty years old, he already has the hallmark of a seasoned programmer – baldness!

Not only that, but symptoms such as beer belly, hemorrhoids, dark circles under the eyes, and kidney stones all came knocking.

After such hardship and misery, one would expect that he must have saved a lot of money, but the reality is quite the opposite.

These days, AI is developing extremely rapidly and has already replaced many employees in various industries, including Zhang Wei, who was recently laid off by his company.

He is currently unemployed and living in a rented room. The money in his card is barely enough to cover a few months' rent, utilities, and daily food expenses. He has sent the rest of his money back to his parents in his hometown.

There was no other reason than that my sister, who was suffering from leukemia, needed the money more.

With the rapid advancement of technology, leukemia is no longer an incurable disease, but it remains difficult to treat.

The most effective method is gene repair drugs, which cost over a million yuan per injection. With other expenses added, the total cost is around two million yuan.

Zhang Wei didn't want to watch his well-behaved, sensible, and adorable younger sister wither away at the prime of her life.

Two million federal dollars—even if he were sold, it wouldn't be enough.

He has lost his job, especially due to the impact of the AI ​​wave.

Therefore, we have no choice but to find another way out.

Therefore, he set his sights on the game "Evil Immortal".

Rumors have long circulated that this game is unlike any other online game before, and was developed by Eternal Group at great expense.

Eternal Group is a world-renowned conglomerate with interests in gene technology, energy, medicine, life sciences and other fields. Behind it stand many political figures, business tycoons and scientific research giants from various countries, and it has a certain degree of independence in international standing.

It is said that even the federal government attaches great importance to it and has sent a professional team to the Everlasting Group headquarters.

Whether these claims are true or false, the game "Evil Immortal" has gained immense popularity thanks to the vigorous promotion by Eternal Group, and its popularity is only growing stronger, further fueling the curiosity of many.

Many professional gamers, expert players, game studios, and guilds are all eager to try their hand at the game and are waiting for its launch.

It is said that a year ago, the online pre-sale of gaming helmets and gaming pods sold out in just a few minutes, with all five million slots snapped up.

This shows just how popular the game "Evil Immortal" is!

Zhang Wei also spent a huge sum of 9998 Federal Coins to buy an ordinary gaming helmet, intending to try his luck.

After all, playing games is his hobby, and the prospects of the [Evil Immortal] game are very broad. If he can really make a name for himself in it and become a professional player, achieving financial freedom is definitely not a dream!

Even if it doesn't work out, you can still fight monsters and get some equipment to sell and make a living. It's much better than staying in a rented room all day eating and sleeping!

Zhang Wei has always liked the saying: "Doing what you love and being able to make money from it is the happiest thing!"

At this time, in a newly released video on the official forum, the beautiful host confidently stated: "Dr. Li Yuan, the game's chief planner, said that [Evil Immortal] uses the most advanced neural connection technology, which can directly connect to people's consciousness. As long as there is no brain damage, even deaf, mute, disabled or disabled people can have a healthy body in the game world and enjoy a healthy life normally, without any discomfort caused by limb loss."

"In a sense, this game can be considered humanity's second world, and it holds epoch-making significance in the history of human development..."

""

"The game [Evil Immortal] will officially launch tonight at 10 PM. Stay tuned!"

"What the hell?"

Zhang Wei, who was slurping his noodles, was stunned. "People with disabilities can play games, and even have able-bodied bodies in the game? Is technology that advanced now?"

He had never heard of such a thing before.

"In that case, it's actually a good thing..."

'

Zhang Wei quickly thought of his younger sister, "Although Keke has a cheerful personality, she must be bored in the depressing environment of the hospital all day. Once I make money, I must buy my sister a helmet so she can also enter the game."

After eating and drinking to our hearts' content, we checked the time and it was already around nine o'clock in the evening.

After tidying up, Zhang Wei took a shower and saw that it would be about 10 o'clock in about five minutes.

He eagerly took out a sky-blue gaming helmet from the tightly wrapped cardboard box.

This gaming helmet looks quite sophisticated. From its sleek and stylish shell to the intricate patterns on its surface, it exudes a refined sci-fi vibe.

Following the instructions in the manual, you only need to put it on your head, press the button, and use iris recognition to verify your identity to bind your federal citizenship.

Zhang Wei put on the helmet, half-reclined on the bed, and pressed the button with a mix of anticipation, excitement, and trepidation.

Soon, a deep blue light swept across his eyes, and a voice sounded in his mind: "Identity verification in progress... Verification complete... Federal Citizen: Zhang Wei... Age: 27... Gender:

Male... Blood type: B... Identification number: 68785457455... Binding identity... Binding complete!

Then, a flash of light appeared in front of Zhang Wei, and a three-dimensional Zhang Wei appeared, dressed in hemp clothes and straw sandals, looking simple, ordinary, and inconspicuous.

Apart from his somewhat vacant gaze, he looked no different from himself.
