welcome! "
Under Nova's guidance, Chen Xing quickly found a nearby electrical appliance store. A young and beautiful girl in a maid uniform came forward and bowed ninety degrees to salute. I have to say that the service is quite good and the smiles are quite sweet.
This electrical appliance store is very large, covering hundreds of square meters at first glance, with a wide variety of electronic products. It should be the largest store on this street. However, the storefront is very small. Before entering, I thought it was a small shop, just like the ones selling sex toys on the street in the first life. This is probably related to the academic atmosphere in Baixiang City. Everyone comes here to study and do research seriously, not for fun...
"I'm going to play Loulan Continent and want to buy a set of motion sensing equipment." Chen Xing said straight to the point. Although the girl is beautiful, he has been tired of being with a lot of women some time ago and is a little tired of aesthetics. Unless she is eighty or ninety-nine stunning, it will be difficult to arouse his interest.
"We have three types here, which one do you want?" the girl asked.
Chen Xing had never played before, so he asked the girl to introduce it to him. In my previous life, I worked as a courier and was busy from morning to night. Later, I became a mercenary and traveled all over the world. I never had any leisure time, so I had no contact with it.
There are three types of somatosensory equipment, among which the immersive experience cabin is the best, but it requires a fixed residence. After purchasing, the store will send someone to transport and install it. Chen Xing is definitely not suitable for staying in a hotel now. Then there are semi-immersed and portable. The former is designed similar to a space suit. You can experience it after putting on the entire set of equipment. The portable is relatively simple, just a small vest and hiking helmet, and two gloves, which can be separated into a portable The box can be packed.
Chen Xing chose the simplest portable one. Wearing a space suit was a bit awkward and looked silly. Chen Xing didn't plan to play for a long time, just to kill time during this period.
"Sir, do you want to buy an auxiliary kit?" After Chen Xing paid the price of 120 gold coins, the girl started selling external equipment.
"What's it for?" Chen Xing asked casually. Anyway, it doesn’t cost much, so I bought it as soon as it was useful.
"Yes, yes..." the girl's face turned red, as if she was a little embarrassed, "it can increase the user's happiness."
"Happiness?" Chen Xing didn't understand.
"That's it..." The girl took out a cylindrical object from the cupboard. It was round, translucent and very exquisite. She handed it to Chen Xing with both hands, "You, see for yourself..."
Chen Xing took it and looked at it, and he was stunned.
"Ahem..."
In order to ease the embarrassment, he coughed twice and returned the things, "Thank you, I don't have this need for the time being."
It turned out to be an airplane cup. It seemed that the other party regarded him as an otaku who relied on his hands for everything.
"Don't be embarrassed, many people in the college bought it." Maybe she had seen similar situations too many times, the girl advised.
"There's really no need, really..." Chen Xing postponed, picked up his things, and quickly left the store.
"How hypocritical!" Glancing in the direction where the guests were leaving, the girl muttered, picked up the portable screen hanging on her chest with a red string, leaned against the door and started playing.
After a while, Chen Xing returned to the hotel. Once the doors and windows are closed, the noise of the festival is cut off. He took out the device and put it on, then lay on the bed and turned on the power of the helmet.
The curved screen in the helmet lights up, and a bright green progress bar appears.
[Device program loading...]
When the progress bar reached 100%, a pleasant female voice sounded.
"Ding dong, the basic program has been loaded. Welcome to use the virtual experience device."
"This device simulates a real experience, but will not cause real injuries or other adverse factors. West Africas Company asks you to use it with confidence."
West Africa is the world's largest manufacturer of electronic equipment. The black watch is produced by this company and has a very high commercial status.
"It is detected that you are carrying a black watch and the channel is clear. Do you want to connect?"
Chen Xing raised his hand and pointed at "yes" in the void. At the moment of touch, the cursor flashed and the female voice sounded again, "Connecting..."
"The connection is successful, Baron Chen Erliu, welcome to use the portable somatosensory system 'Nightcrawler' produced by West Africans Company. This device uses the 'Fifteenth Generation Phantom' engine, which can bring the most realistic and comfortable experience..."
After a series of introductions, the main screen appeared.
It feels like you are in an endless starry sky with countless planets suspended in it. In front of you is a huge arch with the words "Welcome to the Shadow World" written on it. In the middle, an operating guide appeared with his hands forward. Chen Xing followed it, and his vision immediately extended forward and flew into the arch.
The planets become larger from far to near, surrounded by circles of colorful words.
[West Africans Online Mall: Everything you want is here]
[Fate Social Circle: Meet a new friend and start a new journey]
[Middle-earth Market: Secondhand Flea Market]
[Hongtu Life Network: job hunting, buying a house, large online transactions...]
[Money Street Stock Market: Stocks, Futures, Gold Trading...]
[Fresh Home: Mutual help and communication among patients with depression]
[Red Earth War: Virtual reality battlefield, become a mercenary warrior, fight for money and women! ]
…
There are so many sites that it is dazzling to see, as if you are entering a sea of stars, endless.
"Loulan Continent."
Chen Xing issued a voice command, and a circular space-time tunnel appeared in the middle of the screen, and his vision extended forward into the tunnel.
[Site search...]
After about five or six seconds, a planet appeared at the end of the tunnel, gradually slowing down and stopping outside the planet. That point of view is like looking at the mother star from outer space.
[Loulan Continent: The thousand-year war between the True Cultivator Dynasty and the Glory Empire, the collision between Eastern warriors, True Cultivators and Western knights, wizards, and gods' favored ones, the dragon treasure, the castle princess, the Immortal Cultivation Sect, and the legend of Xuantian, all Among them! ]
"Are you entering Loulan Continent?"
Chen Xing clicked "yes" and his vision flew towards the planet. Through the atmosphere, the blue ocean and green continent appeared below. His vision kept getting closer, and finally landed on an ancient altar.
"Detected that you have not created a character in this world, enable character creation."
"Please enter the name of the character you want to create and select your alignment and profession."
Two circular signs representing the camp and the occupations of the subordinates appear on the screen. The blue sign is the true cultivator dynasty, and the red sign is the glory empire. In terms of career options, there are only two true cultivator dynasties, warriors and true cultivators, while the glory empire has three, knights, wizards, and gods' favored ones. .
Chen Xing clicked on the introduction of true cultivators. True cultivators are divided into "sword cultivator" and "qi cultivator". It seems that they can be regarded as three professions.
"Which profession is more powerful?"
"Each profession has its own advantages. Sword cultivators and wizards are good at long-range attacks, Qi cultivators and gods' favored ones are good at treatment and assistance, and warriors and knights..."
"I'm not asking." Chen Xing interrupted. Obviously, he was not asking about Guidance AI, but Nova.
"What is the definition of awesome?" Another mechanically synthesized female voice sounded.
"Beat whoever you want, kill whoever you want," Chen Xing said.
"I can't modify the data, the risk would be very high." Nova replied.
"Then what's the point of this? No more fun!" Chen Xing said unhappily. There is no one-sword ninety-nine, no one-sword magic weapon, just like a novice practicing slowly and climbing slowly, and being chopped up by an expert at any time, just like he is now, what's the point?
If the virtual world cannot even flourish, then what fun is there in life?
"I can give you money and equipment..."
Nova was silent for a while and said, "They allow me to play in the virtual world..."
"Maximum level?" Chen Xing asked.
"It should be pretty much the same as what was described." Nova replied, her electronically synthesized voice filled with uncertainty.
Chen Xing didn't pay much attention, because "full-level large size" is a term on earth, and God knows how this world expresses it.
He thought for a while and clicked on the sword cultivator from the Zhenxiu Dynasty, and then the character template popped up, which was 100% similar to his appearance, just like looking in a mirror. There is an option to modify it below. Chen Xing had many enemies and could not use his true appearance, so he immediately changed himself into a middle-aged man with a Taoist spirit. His name was "Old Demon Han", which was randomly chosen based on a book of true cultivation he had read in his first life. .
The screen flashed and Chen Xing appeared in a small village.
"Moo..."
The melodious sound of cows came from the village road, and an old man drove a bullock cart slowly past him. In front are farmhouses made of thatch and earth, with pitted earthen walls. The rice fields in the distance are as green as the sea, with wind blowing and green waves.
Looking down, he was wearing homespun clothes and holding a small wooden stick in his hand.
This newbie is too naive and poor...
"I want money, I want equipment!"
Chen Xing shouted to the sky with a small wooden stick. He believed that a girl like a fairy would descend from the sky, and then she would give him a magical outfit, and he would be able to reach the pinnacle of his life.
However, there was no fairy descending to earth, only a crisp voice.
"I'm at the entrance of the ancestral hall in the middle of the village. Come and find me."
After turning around two farmhouses and a large dilapidated well, Chen Xing saw Nova.
"What, this little kid is still a boy!"
In front of him was a little boy wearing rags, with two front teeth missing and a dirty face. Chen Xing couldn't help but scream.
"Isn't the little boy very cute?" Nova asked with some confusion.
"No, change, at least it's a woman, I don't like men, change, change quickly!"
"Oh..." A flash of bright green light flashed, and Nova turned into a little girl, wearing a rag jacket and two braids soaring to the sky.
"Why are you a kid again? Can't you be older?" Chen Xing was a little crazy.
"Without purchasing auxiliary equipment, adult women have no meaning." Nova said seriously.
"Okay, okay, whatever." Chen Xing didn't want to say anything anymore and asked again, "Where's the money and equipment?"
"Go to my house and get it." After saying that, the little girl with the soul of the mastermind of Mingwang ran towards the village.
Chen Xing chased after him and saw Nova running into a half-collapsed farmhouse. His heart suddenly dropped, but when he followed him in and saw what was inside, he became energetic again.
It was a large and exquisite treasure box, inlaid with gold and jade, exuding a faint light and extremely luxurious.
