"Wu Shaochen, go to the finance department to pay your salary. You don't have to come to work tomorrow."
In the office, a middle-aged man with thinning hair and a beer belly sat on a large leather chair and said to the young man standing opposite him.
"Why?" Wu Shaochen asked angrily.
In fact, he probably knew what was going on. Wasn't it just that the good relationship between him and his secretary was ruined last night? Isn't it a big deal?
"I am the boss..." the middle-aged man said proudly.
"This guy is probably afraid that I will say nonsense..." Wu Shaochen thought to himself.
Although I wanted to tell him that I was not a talkative person, but after thinking about it, I felt it was unnecessary. Even if such a boss stayed, he would not be able to give me all kinds of shoes to wear.
"I can fire you if you want, but according to the law, the company needs to compensate three months' salary for unilaterally firing employees." Wu Shaochen said, since he wants to leave, he must maximize his benefits.
"What are you thinking..." The middle-aged man was about to say something about the quintessence of Chinese culture. He suddenly thought that if this matter really got big, it would be troublesome if the tigress at home found out about it. In the end, he could only hold back his anger and said: "I owe you that little money." ? Go to the finance department quickly, get the money, and get out."
Soon, Wu Shaochen finished his financial settlement, packed up his things, and walked out of the company. Looking at the bustling crowds on the street, he didn't know where to go. Two years after graduation, he had accomplished nothing, and now he even lost his job. You know, in a city like SZ, you need money to open your eyes. If you don’t have any income, you don’t even dare to add ham to your instant noodles.
"Forget it, let's go find a job again," Wu Shaochen thought to himself.
But at this moment, a poster flew towards his face and was stuck on his face. Wu Shaochen took it off and saw that it was a promotional picture for the game "Oracle", which has recently become popular all over the world.
In the past month, the advertisements for "Oracle" have been overwhelming. I heard that the mastermind of the game is not an existing civilization, but a product of an era. The specific mastermind has not been announced. The game is created by the world's top five players. Through the joint research and development of the main brain, two online game giants can achieve 100% fidelity, which means that the five senses in the game are exactly the same as in reality.
"It is indeed a cross-generational game," Wu Shaochen sighed secretly. It's a pity that this game is not played on a computer. You have to buy a gaming helmet to play it.
"MD, a helmet sells for 10,000, and my savings have never reached five figures in the two years I have been working."
"Hey, that's not right. I just received three months' salary, which is exactly 10,500 yuan. How about..." Wu Shaochen was moved. This game is completely different from traditional games. It can be said that it has unlimited possibilities. As Wu Shaochen who often plays games, he can still tell.
But I have confidence in the game, but not in myself. This game is open to players all over the world. When the time comes, those great players in the online game industry and those wealthy people who have a lot of money and no place to spend it will definitely choose this game at the first time. Although I have played a lot of games, my strength... is definitely incomparable to those people.
"This is a big gamble," Wu Shaochen murmured to himself. After all, for him, ten thousand yuan almost drained his body, and the remaining few hundred yuan would not last a few days in a city like SZ. With the salary he got today, he actually only has two hundred yuan left on his card. That means if he doesn't make any money in the game, he won't even be able to pay the rent by the end of the month.
"MD, I bet. The worst I can do is sleep in the bridge hole. If I can't, I'll just find another class. Besides, I already like playing games. Now that I have such an opportunity, I can't give up."
Just as he said, Wu Shaochen took a luxurious taxi to the nearest helmet sales point. Why did he take a taxi when he was so poor? Because "Oracle" officially started at 12 noon today, and it is almost ten o'clock now. Now, can he not be in a hurry? Since he has decided to play, he must not fall behind others.
When he came to the sales point and looked at the long queue, Wu Shaochen once again lamented the popularity of this game. The game helmets started to be sold a month ago. I heard that there are so many people queuing up to buy every day, and now they are about to be sold. After being convinced, there are still so many people.
Wu Shaochen waited in line for more than an hour to buy a gaming helmet. After checking the time at 11:25, I quickly hailed a taxi and rushed home. I kept urging the driver to hurry up all the way, and it was already 11:50 when I finally got home.
Suddenly I felt a little hungry. I remembered that he hadn't eaten breakfast today. He would enter the game and come out in a while. Then his body would definitely not be able to bear it.
At this time, it was too late to cook or go out to eat, so I rummaged around the house and finally found a bag of bread under the bed that had been dropped at some point. Seeing that the package had not been opened, Wu Shaochen didn't think too much and just tore it open three times, five divided by two, and solved the problem.
After burping, Wu Shaochen slowly put on the gaming helmet. The time was 11:55.
"Hey, I feel a little pain in my stomach."
Wu Shaochen's consciousness quickly entered the game, and a grand scene appeared in front of him. This was a battlefield. Countless monsters covering the sky were attacking the tiny humans below. There were also countless monsters on the land chasing the escaping humans. They were Those who caught up were almost torn to pieces.
There are also countless strong men among humans who resist the attack of the monsters. There are mages wearing noble robes who stand in mid-air and manipulate various elements to carry out large-scale attacks on the monsters below.
There are archers holding bows and arrows and firing wildly at the monsters in the air.
There is a shield guard standing in front holding a shield.
There are warriors who hold battle axes and move in and out of the group of monsters.
There are also assassins who are elusive and harvest the remaining blood monsters.
Behind the crowd, priests dressed in white, like holy angels, kept adding blood to their teammates.
These are the six major professions of Oracle, mage, archer, shield guard, warrior, assassin, and priest.
Although there were many strong humans, they could not withstand the overwhelming army of monsters. In the end, all humans on the battlefield were killed, and countless monsters roared in the battlefield, as if to show off their victory.
Wu Shaochen looked at the scene in front of him with a shocked expression. The immersive feeling made the hairs on his body stand up. It was so terrifying. It didn't look like a game at all, just like something that really happened.
Just when Wu Shaochen was in shock, the scene changed and Wu Shaochen suddenly found himself in a large hall. At this time, a system prompt sounded:
"Brain wave scan in progress..."
"Scan completed..."
"Blood samples are being drawn..."
Wu Shaochen suddenly felt a pain in his scalp.
"What the hell, a gaming helmet with scratchy edges?"
After waiting for a while, I heard the system prompt...
"Blood sample extraction completed, DNA binding..."
"Binding completed"
"Identity being confirmed..."

"Is this a game?..."
Wu Shaochen stared at the space in front of him as if he had seen a ghost. He just scanned and checked his household registration. Is it so scary?
