At two o'clock in the morning, under ultra-high-intensity operation, Qiu Yu had already experienced a strong fatigue reaction. Although there is no problem in holding on for another hour, considering the threat of the end of the position, he still plans to save some strength.
There are enough cases that can be considered abnormal. For example, the head of a small country suddenly fell seriously ill; a scientific team announced that it had overcome a difficult problem in the medical field; a national organization released the latest map of the Milky Way; a multinational group launched a large-scale merger and acquisition plan; an African-American priest was crowned as the pope; A major disaster occurred in the area, killing 37 people...
A lot of information is not enough to look at at a glance, and it takes time to slowly identify it. But it requires continuous attention, and even Qiu Yu feels unable to do so when the number of screening things reaches a certain level.
"I'll go, this thing is getting more and more outrageous."
Li Cheng's voice made Qiu Yu temporarily shift his attention from the Internet to reality. In fact, Li Cheng's shouting had not stopped since two hours ago, but Qiu Yu completely blocked it. Only now did I have the energy to pay a little attention to him.
Perception more convenient than the eyes swept across Li Cheng's screen. Qiuyu's first impression was that he was watching a movie or a live broadcast, but after combining the movements of his fingers on the keyboard, Qiuyu suddenly discovered that he was playing a game, playing a game with naked-eye level resolution.
"What are you playing?"
Li Cheng, who was addicted to games, did not respond to Qiu Yu's question, but Zhang Dongmei returned, "It seems to be called the Final Order."
Qiu Yu quickly checked online and found that this was a game that no one had heard of before. But starting from midnight today, it suddenly appeared on many gaming websites. Many people on these game websites immediately jumped out and posted, saying that their websites had been hacked and that they had never taken orders for this game.
"You have found the source of the doomsday."
Qiu Yu's voice was helpless. Just as geniuses in the industrial age cannot match the application of daily technology by idiots in this era, Qiu Yu is nothing more than an ignorant toddler under the huge information gap.
"The end? Is this the end?"
Li Cheng was fascinated by the game and responded completely perfunctorily.
Qiu Yu asked, "Have you ever died in a game?"
When it came to the topic of games, Li Cheng's thinking frequency finally connected with Qiu Yu's, "I have died eight hundred times. This game is ridiculously difficult, but it is really fun."
The first thing Qiu Yu thought of was whether this game should attract people to play first. When the characters in it die, people in real life will also die. But if you think about it carefully, it shouldn't be that simple. If the news spread that someone died after playing it, no one would play it. And no matter how fun a game is, it will never be played by all humans. As long as it is not a force that can destroy civilization, it cannot be considered the end of the world.
On the other hand, if this game forces all mankind to play together, it will meet the conditions for becoming the end of the world. However, why does the game not force everyone to participate from the beginning, but is quietly promoted on the game website, as if those who don't want to take the bait will take the bait?
Necessary information is also lacking. However, considering that obtaining information would be risky, Qiu Yu chose the safest channel.
"How big is this game?"
"You want to play too? It's very convenient. You can connect to the cloud server and just click on the shortcut icon of dozens of K."
"Is there anything special about it?"
"It's very fun and very difficult."
"What type of game is it?"
"It's hard to say, it's probably a sandbox survival type...fuck, oh, oh, oh...fuck!"
Just as Li Cheng answered the question, his screen shook violently for several times, and finally turned into blood.
Because it was in the first person, Qiu Yu saw him running on the street and didn't know what was killing him behind him.
The blood on the screen is getting thicker and thicker, and finally turns to black. When the screen turns completely black, the reading screen re-enters.
Among the dense and twisted patterns that could not be distinguished as text or graffiti, a long line running from pure white to pure black lay across the entire screen. At the point where the black and white lines intersect, slightly to the black side, there is a small arrow pointing to the line.
At the bottom of the screen, there is a sentence that looks like a game prompt - this is the last barrier of order, please contribute all your strength for yourself.
The one who created this game is at least a super civilization level power, and the only function of reading the screen is to convey information.
Looking at the pattern that was exactly the same as the one on the gatekeeper's note, the unknown fog in Qiu Yu's mind suddenly dispersed.
This world is not just your own playground, and its purpose of existence is not to destroy.
Qiu Yu sat back in front of the computer and downloaded the final order in less than a second.
The shortcut icon of the game is an eye burning with a wisp of fire surrounded by a twisted five-pointed star. After staring at this icon for a full minute, Qiu Yu made up his mind and clicked the mouse hard.
——Order may represent shackles, but it is precisely because of its imprisonment that you do not move towards the abyss of destruction of disorder.
There is no wonderful opening animation or exciting music, it just starts with a piece of advice-like text.
After the text faded and disappeared into the dark background, the game went directly to the character information page. That's right, you don't have to create it yourself, the character has already been created after you come in.
What is in front of me is a male character wearing large underpants. Regardless of height or muscle ratio, they are at the level of ordinary people. As for the appearance, it is hidden in the darkness and cannot be seen clearly.
On the right side of the character is a large row of things that should be character data, but most of them are irregular gibberish. All that can be seen clearly is the words "Initial Fund 0".
Li Cheng had been secretly observing Qiu Yu for a long time, and when he saw that Qiu Yu was going to play this game, he ran over excitedly.
"It hasn't started yet, don't look at it, other interesting things will be unlocked after you play a game."
Qiu Yu silently clicked to start the game.
Another screen giving prompt information.
——Try to collect all resources, because you don’t know which inconspicuous thing will save your life.
Qiu Yu's scalp tightened.
Most people will pay attention to resource collection tips, but what he pays attention to is the meaning of each word.
Since life-saving is mentioned, it means that death is bound to happen. I just don’t know whether the danger is the game itself, or what is temporarily blocked by the game.
After the text on the screen disappeared, what came into view was a nearly ruined city scene.
Because the picture was too real, as if what was in front of him was not a monitor but a window with glass, so it took Qiuyu a full five seconds to adjust to the confusion of time and space.
"The controls are like most games, you use..."
Li Cheng also wanted to guide Qiu Yu, but found that the latter pressed every key on the keyboard as fast as possible. Before he even finished speaking, the other party had already controlled the character to shuttle through the ruins of buildings.
Qiu Yu didn't run far and found a collapsed pit with only a narrow exit and hid in it.
"What should I do now?"
Qiu Yu will make rational use of all resources. Since there is a pile of ready-made experience around him, there is no need for him to take risks himself.
Li Cheng's open mouth didn't even close in a hurry, "Ahem, I didn't expect you to be a master of the game...relax, there is no danger during the day. You need to collect as many materials as possible during the day, when it is safe." , and then find a safe place to hide before dark. Continue to collect supplies after daybreak."
"That's it?" As Qiu Yu asked, he had already controlled the character to leave the pit and began to look for the commanding heights.
"Haha, it's a lot of fun at night, you won't be bored. Moreover, the first game is equivalent to the Novice Welfare Bureau, and the difficulty is already the lowest." Li Cheng had a perverted smile on his face, showing that he was being abused and hoped that others would be abused as well. "Let me remind you, the materials collected in this game will be exchanged for your activity funds in subsequent games. It is best to find more valuable things."
"How do you judge the value of items?" Qiu Yu climbed up a fragment of a building that was more than four meters high. This was almost the highest place nearby.
"It's exactly the same as in reality. Whatever you pay for on the street is worth what you find inside."
Qiu Yu's hand controlling the keyboard paused for a moment, "Are you sure?"
"After all, I've played eight games. I don't know how many things have been bought and sold. How can I be wrong about this?"
Qiu Yu glanced at him and used the spread of perception to conduct a detailed body scan on him. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he returned, "You died eight times in just over two hours?"
Zhang Cheng felt no shame, "I told you that this game is difficult, and you won't be able to last long."
Qiu Yu stopped observing the surroundings and controlled the character to run towards a pile of rubble-like ruins across the street. "How long are the hours of day and night?"
"A few minutes." Li Cheng still took Qiu Yu, the financial backer, very seriously, and realized that this answer would make him dissatisfied, so he explained in detail, "The game setting is like this, three or four minutes a day, a dozen Twenty minutes a day, all appear, completely random. But there is a fixed one-minute dusk time. As soon as dusk comes, you should find a place to hide. Your first game was okay, there were no monsters during dusk. There is also dusk time in the official game There will be deadly monsters appearing, and I spend most of my time hanging at dusk. Oh, I count the game time in days because the day and night are exactly the same length. The day is five minutes, and the night is also five minutes. Daytime is Ten minutes, and ten minutes at night.”
Qiu Yu stopped in front of a pile of rocks. The lack of perception spreading made him feel constrained. Although he knew it was unlikely, he still released his perception to the screen. Unsurprisingly, all I could perceive was a cold display.
"Are you paying attention to the convenience store? It's better to give up."
Hearing Li Cheng's question, Qiu Yu glanced at him in surprise. When he was observing here just now, Qiu Yu's field of vision only swept across it, and the convenience store sign in the picture was also very far away. If most people don't stare at the static picture for three or four seconds, they probably won't notice it.
Compared with his amazing powers of observation, Li Cheng's ability to observe words and emotions was very low. In his opinion, Qiu Yu's surprised eyes were asking him why he gave up, so he said in a clear-eyed manner, "It's hard to dig through such a large amount of stuff. I don’t know how long it will take, and the value of the items in the convenience store is not too high. It is better to find something more..."
Li Cheng couldn't close his mouth again.
Qiuyu did try to control the character to dig. After finding that the efficiency was comparable to that of ordinary people digging with bare hands in reality, he changed the method - stuffing random rocks into the invisible backpack. Intuitively, it refers to the rocks he encountered. Just disappear into thin air.
When Qiuyu first entered the game and checked the full keyboard, he discovered the existence of the backpack, but he never took a quick look. It was only now that I started to observe the space in my backpack while picking up stones.
The backpack in Final Order has no grid, just an empty interface. When stones are loaded, the word "stone" is displayed. But after that, no matter how many stones were put into the interface, there was no change. There were still only these two words hanging there alone.
A minute later, Qiu Yu's character couldn't pick it up anymore. It was probably because the backpack was full, so Qiu Yu controlled it to walk aside and threw all the stones in the backpack to the ground. Then return to the previous location and repeat the efficient excavation.
"You can still play like this!" Li Cheng said hurriedly, fearing that his IQ would be looked down upon, "This system's backpack is only available in the first game, so it's normal that I didn't notice it. You have to prepare your own bag to carry things in subsequent games."
Qiu Yu was testing the collection time of stones of different sizes. After hearing Li Cheng's words, he gave up useless efforts and focused on digging efficiency. After emptying the system backpack for the third time, instant noodles, toilet paper, towels and other items appeared in the rubble.
Qiu Yu didn't do any screening and put away everything except stones.
After another two minutes, the sky suddenly became gloomy. The originally blue sky seemed to be being splashed with paint, and large areas were replaced by blood.
"Don't be in a daze, it's dusk." Even though he was watching others play, Li Cheng couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his tone.
Qiu Yu picked up another pack of MSG and a box of toothpaste before turning and leaving.
"You don't want to pick it up? There's still time. Twenty seconds is enough to get into the pit you just made."
"The backpack is full."
"How do you know?" Li Cheng remembered that the system's backpack did not prompt, and he would only know whether it was full or not by seeing if it could still hold something. After Qiuyu filled the toothpaste, he left directly without trying whether he could still put it in.
"Didn't I throw three bags of stones just now? I was just testing the judgment method of the backpack. The three bags of stones are different in size and quantity. The only thing that is the same is the weight. Then I make a comparison calculation based on the mass of the stones in reality. It is very easy to calculate. Exceeding the weight limit of the backpack.”
For a time, Li Cheng had a lot to say in his heart. But in the end, only...
"Oh I got it."
