Daxia Kingdom, in the suburbs of Qingcheng, in an old private house.
Six o'clock in the morning.
Beep beep... beep beep!
Alarms and alerts sound.
"Did my sister send me a message last night?"
The young man on the bed woke up, glanced at his phone, used his hands to prop up his body, and sat up.
His legs are weak and he is disabled.
The young man's name is He Zhi. He is 24 years old. Both his parents died when he was young and he is disabled. He has only one younger sister to depend on.
My sister’s name is He Ling, she is 18 years old and is in her first year of college.
"Brother, I found a work-study job! I can afford my living expenses!"
"I won't be celebrating my birthday next month, and I'll be deducted for asking for leave."
"Brother, you have to take care of yourself! Remember to eat well, don't stay up late, don't..."
He Zhi clicked on the phone's voicemail, and an energetic girl's voice immediately rang out, belonging to his younger sister.
"This girl is actually nagging me."
"Remember to study hard and don't work too hard."
Hearing his sister's voice, the young man immediately smiled and then sent a message back.
However, my sister did not reply, maybe she was not awake yet.
"My sister has had a hard time taking care of my disabled brother these years."
"Now that she has finally gone to college, she still has to work-study to support her family. She is so sensible and heartbreaking..."
He Zhi's face was slightly gloomy, but he quickly adjusted.
"start working."
"My sister's birthday is next month. Although she is sensible, she can't say it's her birthday, but I want to buy her some gifts."
"If I can earn more money from my job, she can concentrate on her studies and not have to work part-time."
He Zhi looked determined, determined to work hard and not to drag his sister down.
Fifteen minutes later, He Zhi finished washing, ate breakfast hastily, and sat in front of the computer, ready to start the day's work.
He is disabled and cannot do ordinary work, so he works as a game booster and also does some business of buying and selling in games.
Although the income is not much, I can still make ends meet.
And he worked extremely hard, getting up at six in the morning.
"Huh? What's going on?"
After a while, He Zhi did not start his work, but looked confused.
Because an eye-catching window popped up on the desktop of the computer that had just been turned on.
[Your application has been approved, congratulations on obtaining the internal beta qualification of "Pocket Cultivation"! 】
[The client is being updated...]
At the bottom of the window, there is also a download progress bar that keeps scrolling.
"Pocket Cultivation? What kind of game is this? I don't remember applying for closed beta qualification."
"Is it a virus?"
He Zhi looked at the pop-up window, and his heart sank slightly. Isn't this a virus?
He moved the mouse and found the anti-virus software.
Otherwise, if your computer is damaged by a virus, you will be in trouble.
However, at this time, the progress bar was moving very fast and had already finished.
A game window pops up.
There is no specific game, but a beautiful CG scene.
In the CG picture, there is first an overlooking perspective, showing a vast and beautiful continent shrouded in clouds and mist.
The picture is exquisite, like a fairyland.
The angle of view drops and the continent begins to zoom in.
Fairy Mountain, Cave Heaven, Blessed Land...
Immortal cultivators fly in the air with immortals, monsters occupy mountains and become kings...
There are also battles between immortals and demons, demons are causing chaos in the world, the underworld appears, and demons from outside the realm...
Various scenes of the world of cultivating immortals were vividly displayed in front of He Zhi, making him fascinated by the sight.
After more than ten minutes, the CG ended.
The screen restored the dynamic screen overlooking the mainland from the beginning, but there was an extra [Start Game] button.
He Zhi's finger that clicked on the anti-virus software stopped.
"This CG is really beautiful. It looks like a real world of immortality. I don't know how much money it cost to shoot it."
"It's probably a new game."
"It's impossible for a virus to create such exquisite CG."
"Could it be that I applied for internal testing before and forgot about it later? I have been so busy every day during this period that I almost lost track of time."
He Zhi said to himself.
"Let's take a look at this game first. The CGs are so beautiful. It must be a big production."
He Zhi thought for a moment, moved the mouse, and clicked on the game.
As a professional game booster, he is naturally very interested in this beautifully crafted new game.
You might find a way to make money there.
Click and the game begins!
Uh-huh!
The perspective of the bird's-eye view on the screen quickly zoomed down, and finally settled on a spiritual mountain.
Lingshan Mountain is tall and majestic, like a divine sword pointing straight into the sky. It is thousands of feet high, and the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist.
The top of the mountain was opened up into a huge platform, which was covered with antique pavilions.
There are many people in green clothes in the pavilion, all of them are tall and strong.
Occasionally, one or two people would fly with their weapons and soar into the sky.
There is a tablet on the largest pavilion.
There are three simple characters written on the tablet:
Qingxuanzong.
Obviously, this is a sect that cultivates immortality.
“The picture is really beautiful, it’s no different from the CG one.”
He Zhi looked at the fairy-like Lingshan and sects in the picture, and sighed in admiration, becoming even more interested in this game.
"But why is there no game UI or operation prompt?"
But after a moment, He Zhi frowned slightly, how to play this game?
He began to move the mouse and press the keyboard, trying to figure out how to play the game.
ten minutes later……
"It's a crappy game. You can only watch the scenery. What's the point of having good graphics and good modeling? There's no gameplay! It seems like it's just a semi-finished product and has not been developed yet."
He Zhi felt helpless and took his hands off the keyboard.
During these ten minutes, he tried various methods.
Finally, I found that the keyboard and mouse can control the perspective to move forward, left, and right.
The left and right mouse buttons can zoom in and out the viewing angle.
At the same time, the viewing angle is not blocked by obstacles and can be observed at will through the house.
Then it was gone...
The screen can only be viewed without any interactive options.
Moreover, the movement of the perspective is limited to this spiritual mountain and cannot be left.
The various celestial mountains, blessed places, and vast world in the previous opening CG cannot be seen at all.
This is a bit of a trap.
"Let's try it again and look at the scenery. At least the picture is beautiful."
After a while, He Zhi shook his head and moved the mouse again.
A game with such beautiful graphics will surely become a hit if it can be played normally. His qualification for closed beta testing is worth a lot of money.
So He Zhi didn't want to give up easily.
He Zhi once again controlled the viewing angle, moving up, down, left and right in Lingshan, looking around.
Unknowingly, I wandered to a deserted mountainside.
"I have to say, this picture is really good, I have never seen it before."
He Zhi looked at it and nodded in admiration.
I feel that the graphics of this game are even more beautiful than reality, and it is very pleasing to the eye.
“Incredible, my off-brand screen with 2K resolution can actually see the effect of 8K…”
"Isn't it right? No matter how close I look, I can't see any pixels?"
Looking at it, He Zhi suddenly felt a little strange.
When did his off-brand screen worth more than a thousand dollars have such good display effects?
He couldn't help but bring his face closer to the screen, wanting to see what was going on.
It stands to reason that if you look closely at the screen, you can see pixels and mosaics.
But He Zhi found that the closer he got, the clearer he could see.
He couldn't help but get closer and closer...
"I've put my face on it, but it's still so clear..."
"Um?!!"
Just when He Zhi completely pressed his face to the screen, he felt that his face seemed to have broken through an invisible film.
Then I suddenly felt my eyes brighten and my vision broadened.
It's like leaning out the window and seeing the vast world outside.
At the same time, He Zhi felt that the fresh air he had never breathed hit his face, making him feel relaxed and happy.
At the same time, the moisture from the clouds and mist in the mountains also blurred his face and made his face wet.
"what happened!"
After a moment, He Zhicai reacted.
He quickly pulled his head back and wiped his face instinctively.
I found that my hands were really full of water!
"This...is there really a world in this game?"
