On a snowy morning, the two rows of lush street trees on the path next to the Central Hall of Bourbon City seemed to be sprinkled with icing sugar. A sneaky middle-aged man was nestling in the grass under the tree. His eyes were shining brightly as he stared at a pink object not far away, like a ferocious beast that had seen its prey and was waiting for an opportunity.
Looking carefully, the man was naked, and his fair skin was unevenly rosy due to the cold. "Pah!" He slapped his butt and muttered irritably, "Why are there mosquitoes in the grass on a cold day?"
He sighed and warmed his hands while continuing to stare at the pink object not far away and cheering himself up secretly: "Don't be afraid, there are just a few level 3 Kaizili. I must get that high-cut swimsuit! Although This casual outfit only adds a meager 2 points of defense and 1 point of movement speed."
"Pah!" The damn mosquito bit his butt again. The man subconsciously looked up at the ID name hanging above his head: Umekawa Kuzi, damn the system, don't you know how to give me a random, more auspicious name? As a result, the homophony of this ID really came true: no pants...
In the 81st year of the Cataclysm Era, human civilization has gradually recovered and rebuilt from a century of plagues and wars. However, the contradiction between limited resources and a huge population base is still irreconcilable. The high unemployment rate makes many people hungry, and it is extremely difficult for society to operate in an orderly manner.
However, in such a harsh living environment, a huge suspended planet suddenly appeared in the Earth's near orbit. It orbited the Earth silently like a satellite. Its size was almost the same as the Earth. Scientists tried to use various means to Detection or landing on its surface have all ended in failure. It is like a device that opens a barrier and tightly seals the earth within the barrier. It is neither possible to break the barrier nor to see what is going on.
After tens of thousands of attempts to decipher the mystery at the cost of burning global funds, we finally came to the conclusion that this hanging star is the product of a high-latitude civilization. With the current human civilization, it has not experienced more than ten thousand years of development, and there is no way to solve it. Break through its blocking barrier!
This also means officially giving up the struggle to break through the blockade. Moreover, human society on earth has just recovered and rebuilt, and there are still too many problems to solve. There is no energy or resources to take into account the long-term problem of breaking through the space blockade.
However, the sudden appearance of the floating planet is not without its merits. First of all, it does not have alien races appearing and invading the earth as some people imagined. Secondly, it not only satisfies the psychology of many people who pursue doomsday theories, but also miraculously solves the problem. Solving a problem in network communication, the global communication network has actually achieved barrier-free interconnection, full coverage and free of charge. This invisible and intangible network signal is seamlessly connected with the electronic network adaptation hardware, without the need for network cables and transmission. The tower transmitting station can be directly connected to the Internet.
This seems to be the last life-saving straw thrown by God to mankind, especially for the poor. Apart from air and water, which are free, the only thing left is the network falling from the sky. A large amount of computer hardware garbage left before the Cataclysm Era was miraculously reborn, and a new profession emerged: Internet beggar!
Li Ping'an is one of the army of online beggars. He is a middle-aged man who is unemployed, frustrated in love, and alone. He is live broadcasting an online single game (online game changed to stand-alone game) called [Nage Life] to a very small audience that has almost lost its teeth. 】.
"Everyone who comes into the live broadcast room, please pay attention. Thank you for being safe. I wish your family peace, prosperity and happiness!"
"Brothers and sisters, please raise your little hands that make money and give me a thumbs up. I kowtow to you in peace!"
"Family members, please send us some melons and dates, you are my reborn parents!"
"..."
Li Ping'an's proficient Internet begging terminology was humbly learned from senior beggars a few months ago. He has already put aside his past reserve and shame because of his catchy words. After all, only after eating hot food can he be qualified to talk about self-esteem.
"Damn, this game can be used for archeology! How old is it? Save it!"
"Anchor, you are here to make fun of me! Can you play this game?"
"Let me go, some casual puzzle games for middle-aged and elderly people?"
"The anchor is a bit old, although he is a bit handsome. Why doesn't he use beauty?"
"Tsk, the uncle style has long been out of fashion, and you're still selling sentiments!"
"Are you a new anchor? Why not use an astronomical telescope to observe the suspended alien star live!"
"..."
Li Ping'an felt sad as he looked at the few sparse comments in the live broadcast room. However, he still had to manage his expression well. Keeping a smile is a basic quality. He tried to focus on the game commentary. Today's meal money is not yet available. If you don't have enough money to eat, you'll be hungry, so you've got several boxes of instant noodles on credit from the owner of the grocery store downstairs.
[Nege Life] is actually an early 3D online game before the Cataclysm Era. Although the modeling is rough, it has a strong urban style and reasonable game mechanics. It was considered an epoch-making online game at the time.
Defeating monsters, upgrading and building equipment is naturally the main storyline in the game, but there is also a survival mechanism for falling in love, doing business, etc. that is almost a 1:1 replica of real life. Li Ping'an's first and only short-lived romance was also here. Started and completed in the game.
Li Ping'an played this online game for five full years, squandering a lot of extracurricular time in his college career. He used this time to stumble and exchange for high-end top equipment and rich gaming experience. An accident happened in the sixth year, and operators and service providers went bankrupt one after another. The service was announced to be suspended, and the world quickly entered a period of catastrophe.
[Nage Life], which had been discontinued for many years, was turned into a stand-alone game by enthusiastic old players to extend its life. Li Pingan also downloaded and collected a copy. Now that I use it as live broadcast material, I really can’t think of anything I can live broadcast. Only this little sentiment can be sold for a few taels of broken silver to fill my stomach.
"Kaka...whoosh..." The harsh radio waves roared, the live broadcast vocals stuttered, and the computer screen suddenly became blurred!
what's the situation? Li Ping'an was about to check the cause of the computer host failure, but he didn't expect that all the electrical appliances in the rental house would suddenly lose power and shut down at this moment!
Trip or power outage? Didn’t the landlord pay the electricity bill?
Li Ping'an was groping for the location of his phone in the dark. Suddenly, a numbness hit his whole body like a thunder strike. He suddenly lost consciousness. When he opened his eyes again, there was only one picture in front of him, a map! A reminder: Please choose the city where you were born!
Li Ping'an rubbed his hazy eyes, what the hell is this? This map seems familiar... Isn't this the [Nage Life] entrance map navigation?
Am I reborn or am I unconscious due to electric shock? Li Ping'an pinched his thigh hard without believing in evil, "It hurts!" Isn't this a dream? He looked around, seeing nothingness but the huge map and prompts standing quietly in front of him.
If you don’t care about much, just die! Li Ping'an cursed secretly for tapping Bou with his hand.
bo
city bourbon market. Whoosh, please enter your name, choose your gender, your body type, and choose your occupation!
Li Pingan is familiar with the new navigation interface and prompts. What kind of ID should he choose? Let’s stick to the old one. As for the profession, it’s definitely the most familiar [Dancing Master]. In terms of body shape, taller people will be fine...
Click...click...whoosh...
Another burst of sound lags... Before Li Ping'an could react, a voice echoed behind him: You have timed out... Welcome... to Nage...
What the hell! I haven’t even filled in my name, and I haven’t chosen a career yet...X￥&&*O#@$.
It was too late for Li Ping'an to let go of his complaints, and the system didn't give him any response. He was startled, and he felt a brute force coming from his back. Thousands of colorful beams of light in front of him turned into rainbows and rushed towards him. After stumbling, he was able to stand upright. His heart was pounding and beating wildly, so he suddenly looked up. He saw blue sky and white clouds, green trees and red houses, and the streets were busy with people coming and going. He swallowed hard and turned to look at the tall building behind him. Go to: [Bourbon Central Hall] Six big characters are clearly visible.
