Xia Zhengyu is a 16-year-old loader and not very strong.
He is said to be a stevedore, but in fact, apart from loading and unloading, he is willing to do any dirty work as long as he can make money.
With money, you can fill your stomach, you don’t have to look at the landlord’s face, and you can afford the expensive virtual network fee...
Only when he puts on VR glasses and uses neural access to plunge into the virtual network world... can Xia Zhengyu feel that he is truly alive!
The enjoyment that cannot be obtained in reality is available in the virtual network, and it is cheaper.
But today, it was rare that Xia Zhengyu did not go out to work, but huddled in his home, which was so simple that it looked like a waterproof tent.
Before, he gritted his teeth and paid an extra week's rent to the charter woman, and also stocked ten days' worth of drinking water and cheap food in the tent.
And all this is to be able to make a fortune without being disturbed in the giant virtual game "Datang" that is launched today!
In the past week, the game's promotion has been overwhelming. It's hard not to see the bright promotional videos on the outer walls of the buildings.
The publishing company "Montnet" has spent a lot of money. In the first week of the game's open beta, everyone can get rewards based on the length of time as long as they keep the game online, play the role randomly assigned by the system, and play.
Every hour is 30 general coins! Excluding sleep and eating, drinking and diarrhea, Xia Zhengyu is confident that he can stay online for 17 or 18 hours a day, which means he can get more than 500 general currency as a time reward every day!
This is almost ten times his daily salary for moving and unloading goods!
Not to mention, judging from the promotional video, players have the opportunity to discover immortal secret treasures, heaven and earth spiritual materials, monsters and ghosts, gold and silver mineral deposits in the game... Once these things are found, they can be sold to big shots in the foggy area. Make a fortune with your blood.
For this huge sum of money, Xia Zhengyu worked hard and made all preparations for himself to devote himself to the game, as if he was a little warrior about to go to the battlefield.
Looking at the countdown on the electronic bracelet, he slowly and solemnly put on the VR glasses.
at the same time.
Today, the streets and alleys of the entire Lower Ten Districts are much less crowded than usual, and they are as empty as a city in ruins... Countless poor people have put on VR glasses, virtual helmets, and other types of neural access devices. Equipment, intends to take a share of the pie.
[Entering the world of "Datang"...]
Following this line of text, countless people opened their eyes in the game and looked at everything around them in surprise.
The system has set up identities for them, including people from the rich cities of mankind, waiters in restaurants, accountants in shops, farmers in farmland...
But there was another group of people, dressed in armor, standing on a battlefield littered with corpses.
Xia Zhengyu appeared on such a bloody battlefield.
"Kill, kill, kill—"
"Those who backslide will be executed on the spot!"
A burly general covered in blood, riding a big horse, waving the weapons in his hands, roaring loudly.
Xia Zhengyu didn't even react before he was thrown to the ground by a half-human, half-wolf monster that rushed out of nowhere. His throat was torn instantly. The severe pain made his whole body twitch, and his vision went black for a moment. Then he died.
With the world spinning before his eyes, Xia Zhengyu returned to the original interface. In the darkness, he could only see a line of text.
[Entering the world of "Datang"...]
A moment later, he was born on the battlefield again, and this time he was a thin alien with black hair all over his body! Before he could run two steps, he was overtaken by a knight in shining armor riding a tall horse. He stabbed his heart with a sword, vomiting blood and fell to the ground.
It was dark again...
And so on.
In just half an hour, Xia Zhengyu played no fewer than ten characters, and all of them were tragic. Either the "melons and vegetables" who were cut down on the battlefield, or the common people who were burned, killed and plundered, the human slaves who were played by the officials... The best one was just being a waiter in a certain shop and surviving for ten minutes. Then he was accidentally killed by two groups of gangsters who took action at the slightest disagreement.
Although every death is extremely painful.
But Xia Zhengyu kept in mind that he was earning universal coins. No matter what he did, as long as the game was online for enough time, he could exchange money!
So I am still gritting my teeth and persisting.

Three days later.
Somewhere hidden in Dreamweaver City is a huge space covered with spider webs.
This space is dark and quiet, and even the temperature seems to be as low as near freezing... Countless bright and bright handmade carpets, fabrics, and embroideries are hung on spider webs in all directions. At a glance, there are probably no less than tens of millions of them, like a tower. exhibition hall.
And right below all the spider webs, there is a super giant web that is far larger than all the spider webs! In the center of the giant net, there is a huge black shadow that is ten stories high.
The lower body of the black shadow is a round body covered with downy hair, with eight black and slender blade legs, randomly overlapped together. Each blade is like a towering tree.
The upper body of the black shadow has graceful curves, and it is clearly the body of a huge woman.
Due to the dim light, I couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, but I could see that she was holding a spindle in her hand, weaving something at will, and humming an inexplicable melody in her mouth.
Suddenly she stopped what she was doing and looked to the right side of her body.
There, there was a stone suspended corridor that extended from the edge of this space to her vicinity.
There are a few small black spots in the corridor, and they are several humans.
The leader was covered in a black robe and cloak. The surface of the cloak had spiderweb-like white patterns, and he held a strange scepter in his hand...
Behind the black robes and cloaks were four people with gorgeous clothes and smooth skin who looked pampered.
Two men and two women.
"Lord, the four people behind me are the board members of Montnets." A deep voice came from the black cloak, "They said they have a gift for you."
The huge half-spider woman's abdomen was slightly contracted, and a sharp sound from another world seemed to come from her navel.
The man in black cloak listened intently, and after a moment nodded to the four people behind him:
"Give me your gift."
One of the men quickly took out a silver-white sphere.
The huge half-spider woman screamed again.
"What is this? The Lord says he doesn't like to be disturbed. If the gift is not to His liking, you will not get out of here alive."
Several people looked frightened and knelt down. One of the women took a deep breath, braced herself, and explained softly:
"I heard that the God Lord likes to weave webs and weave dreams, especially mythical and epic dreams."
"Montnet has worked hard for ten years to create the game "Datang"... using the virtual network as the network and countless human spiritual fluctuations as dreams, it recreates a once glorious human dynasty! Immortals guide the way and ask about immortality, Monsters are everywhere, cavalry are fighting, corpses are scattered all over the fields... these can all be found in dreams."
"This prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty has turned into a dream, and is presented as a gift from Mengwang Company to the God Lord. I hope the God Lord is satisfied..."
The man in black robe was silent and looked at the huge figure.
Suddenly, a spider thread shot out and pulled the silver-white ball directly over. The huge half-spider woman opened her mouth and took the entire silver ball into her mouth.
After a while, it neighed again.
The man in black robe nodded, turned around, and looked down at the four people kneeling on the ground.
"The Lord likes this dream very much... Your Dream Network Company has won the favor of the Lord. The Lord promises you... a thousand places in the gift ceremony."
The faces of the four people showed expressions of ecstasy.
