"Oh my god - what a joke! Where is this!"

"What happened to me just now? Why did my boss suddenly want to poison me, but I don't seem to be dead now..."

"Me too, I was still going to school, but the teacher suddenly came to chop me with a knife... I reluctantly chopped him off, and then I heard something saying that I had cleared the level, and then suddenly appeared here..."

"Group time travel? Or some alien game?"

"Damn it, I just finished that damn planning project yesterday. As soon as Sima Party A said it was satisfied, it prompted the game to start..."

"Mom, where are you, mom..."

Su Mingan opened his eyes.

His ears were filled with the shouts of various people, mixed together, and in various languages. He moved slightly, but found that there were people all around him.

After hearing the prompt and being enveloped in white light, he saw an almost endless square.

People were standing on the square like him, one after another, and everything they saw was dark, and they were of all races. The huge square was packed into a sea of ​​people, and it seemed that a stampede might occur at any time.

As the beams of light unfolded, a person appeared on the square, gradually filling up all the vacancies.

...This is the so-called world game starting ceremony?

So, what he just experienced was really a selective novice level?

Su Mingan endured the noise in his ears and was still thinking. Suddenly, at the edge of his vision, he saw a blood-red light.

In the sky above the vast sea of ​​people, a big snow-white rabbit jumped out.

Nearly three meters tall, the rabbit became quite deformed, and its blood-red eyes were even more strange. Its huge limbs hung beside its body, and there was a huge scale pattern on its chest, which seemed to be twisting constantly.

The moment it appeared, he felt an invisible restraint instantly attaching to him. The next moment, he found that he couldn't move, including other people. Their voices stopped for an instant, as if everyone was being restrained. Cast a restraining spell.

"——Woohoo——! Everyone is here——!"

The blood-red, weird rabbit reflected like a giant, and its shadow shrouded everyone's frightened eyes.

"I'm counting...well, one, two, three, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million...one billion! Okay, the number is correct!"

It smiled, opened its arms like cotton candy, and shouted with great joy:

"——Welcome everyone to our world game!"

Then, the sky lit up with a burst of red and a burst of blue light, and fireworks flew down from the sky, and ribbons sprinkled all over the people who could not move.

All eyes were mostly cast on it with fear, doubt, confusion, fear...

They were basically living a normal life before, studying, going to work, working... Then they were pulled into the novice copy by a sudden prompt, went through an unimaginable customs clearance process, and then were forcibly teleported here.

Faced with such a situation that far exceeds human opinions in the scientific world, everyone is in fear of the unknown.

After all, the scene in front of him was too weird.

Su Ming calmed down.

It seems that this rabbit is the organizer who started this game...? Or is it like a host?

He didn't have any fear. As a horror game owner and a fan of curious games, something like this that far exceeded his daily life opened a new window for him.

The previous novice copy was very interesting. Judging from the system prompts, he always feels that there will be more excitement in various types of game worlds in the future.

"Hello everyone! Before introducing all this, let me introduce myself first - you can call me Boss Rabbit! I am honored to be the general purchaser of this game - in your words, called...GM (game Administrator/System)!"

The rabbit opened his arms and smiled broadly.

The pitch sounded high and low in all directions, giving people an extremely uncomfortable beating feeling.

"It is now three o'clock in the afternoon on September 30, 2020 AD. Three hours ago, the personal novice copy of the world game officially started!"

"The participating members are Zhai Xing's willed human species! Congratulations to those of you who have been selected, you have the opportunity to change your own destiny! Become a participant in the game and travel through different worlds!"

It shouted with joy.

At the same time, a light curtain lit up in the square.

——That is the scenery on Zhai Star. There is a time indicator in the lower right corner, which was exactly three hours ago.

The originally bustling city, the pedestrians walking on the roadside, the farmers working in the fields...their smooth movements stopped for a moment when the hands pointed to twelve o'clock.

Su Ming'an even saw himself among them, getting up and leaving the coffee house.

The moment he stepped out of the coffee shop, his clothed figure stopped at the door.

"The time on Zhai Star is stuck at this moment forever!"

Rabbit's voice continued, but the tone gradually became impassioned——

"One billion "chosen" human beings——"



[Welcome to you, you have the opportunity to control your own destiny, and officially enter the world game together! 】



"I think every player has experienced the single-player copy just now - for different players, the great game organizer has given you a unique trial customized for you!" it said happily.

Su Mingan's eyes flashed with realization - indeed, everyone's experience is different. At the same time, one billion players are thrown into different copies.

What he faced was just a fictional copy in which he was the only player. After clearing the level, that copy was over.

Shen Xue and that sister Anna... were not real people, but were disguised as familiar people to test themselves... He asked why Shen Xue suddenly attacked him. It turned out to be a fake and a game. copy.

As for other novice copies, they may be suddenly poisoned by their boss, stabbed in the back by a relative, suddenly faced with a car accident... such attacks that are difficult to prevent.

The rabbit's voice was particularly intense, echoing in circles in the quiet giant square.

People of different races and skin colors opened their eyes, full of confusion and shock.

"In order to balance the game, elderly players have been restored to their prime! At the same time, disabled players have also been compensated accordingly!"

"Our game is to put you players into other game worlds. As long as you complete the assigned tasks, you can get points that can be exchanged for magical items!"

……oh.

Just as Su Mingan guessed, there will be worlds in the future for players to participate in and complete the tasks in them.

So, these one billion chosen people have become travelers traveling through different worlds?

Boss Rabbit’s voice continues:

"Among them, players who die in the game world are not completely dead!

Dead players can watch others continue their adventures. After a certain viewing time, they can clear all their previous strength and start the adventure again!

Of course, dead players can also serve as spectators and no longer take risks.

Players who are taking risks will receive additional bonuses if they start live streaming! "

This rule surprised Su Mingan.

If it is just to drive Zhai Xing creatures to explore other worlds, there is no need to open such a rule...

In the game, there are combat players and casual players. There is a forward and there is a logistics.

"World game, one year!" Rabbit stretched out his white hand:

“At that time, players will be ranked according to points to determine what each player can ultimately bring back to Zhai Xing.

...During the game, Zhai Xing's time is forever stuck at the moment when the novice level begins, until the end of the world game!

At the same time, if the total points of all players are too low, then - all will be wiped out! Among them, the higher the player's individual points, the greater the weight!

——As for the final outcome of each player..."

Its blood-red eyes were curved into crescent moons, and the lines were extremely distorted:

"...Let's take control of each one, right?"

The next moment, everyone found that their language function had been restored.

"——Who the hell are you!"

"Oh God, put me back! What a joke!"

"It's such a shame to be reduced to a tool for others' pleasure..."

Those who cry for mercy, those who are afraid of the unknown, don’t know what to do.

But there are also those who are eager to try and break the daily rules.

"I don't want to go to school for a long time. The legendary Lord God Space... just suits my taste!"

"The strong survive, the weak are eliminated..."

"Is there still a live broadcast? Kiao, live broadcast to invade the world!"

"Sister, I'm afraid..." The little boy in simple clothes pulled the skirt of the woman with hair.

"Not afraid... Xiao He is not afraid..." The woman touched his head, but her hands were trembling: "We must fight to the end... resurrect your big brother..."

The man, still wearing military uniform and with a resolute face, raised his eyes calmly from the chaotic crowd.

A girl with a noose tied around her neck, like a necklace, held her necklace tightly.

The blond mixed-race boy with mechanical joints on his wrists raised his head:

"The truth of the world...can it be..." he murmured.

"——Next, I will announce the details of the novice level for all players!"

Rabbit didn't care at all about the commotion of the people below, as if he didn't hear it, the thunderous voice still echoed in the endless:

[The first novice level does not rely on any space props. It relies entirely on individual physical fitness and instinct to fight!

1114279878 participants! 】

[Among them, there are 16,527 people with A-level evaluations, 1,270 people with S-level evaluations, and 1 person with SS-level evaluations! 】

The rabbit's voice was particularly passionate, and he even screamed when telling the numbers.

Su Mingan's heart skipped a beat.

He understood that with the difficulty of the novice level, it was impossible for him to pass the level without any injuries. It was more likely that he would fall directly to Shen Xue's initial level.

According to the difficulty of the save and load mechanism, I shouldn’t be the first player...

Could it be that this death file loading skill... is unique to me?

People also raised their heads, with confusion in their eyes.

"——Now let us invite the first person to receive an SS-level evaluation! Give us a speech. Everyone welcomes you with applause!!!"

No one responded.

The rabbit clapped his hands "papapapa" as if he was extremely pleased.

"Bang."

A ray of light shone on Su Ming'an, isolating him from everyone else.

He looked at the isolated surroundings with some astonishment. The next moment, he felt himself being pulled up by an invisible force, and his body rose higher and higher, as if being pulled away by the light——

The main god's space did not force him to the point of despair. The moment everyone's eyes gathered, a pure white mask appeared on his face, and his figure became extremely blurry. I won't expose myself in subsequent missions.

"Oh my, the current number one person on Zhai Star looks really extraordinary!

——Not a simple first person! Give your winning speech to the remaining players! Don’t worry, we translate instantly, so there is no language communication problem! "

Rabbit handed the blood-red microphone to his mouth.

And Su Mingan looked down.

The endless square, the endless distance, countless people, the darkness, and countless shining eyes are all related to him at this time.

The weight of a world is gathered here.

He took the phone.

"The world game...the legendary main god space." He said.

His voice was extremely stable, and his voice had been encrypted so that no one could hear his native voice.

"Although it is a bit ridiculous to tie the fate of people around the world to a trial called a game." Su Mingan said: "But victory, or defeat, the path of life... For us, it has always been divided into individual parts. There are only two choices at each intersection.

Now, all people are fellow travelers on the giant ship called [Zhai Star].

Even if they are far away from home, humans always love their homeland.

Since we can no longer escape, this space is far beyond our imagination and technological level...

It's better to regard this as your realistic choice and do your best in the circle drawn by higher-dimensional creatures...

——To find the land that belongs to us. "

He doesn't feel nervous.

As a part-time anchor, public speaking comes easily to him.

Even though this was a public speech in front of hundreds of millions of humans...he didn't know what he was talking about.

But he had a hunch.

...It seems that this appearance in front of all mankind will only be the beginning.

As the [strongest player] at the beginning, with a death rollback, he might be able to go all the way to the end.

Mission makes people overcome obstacles.

He may also face so many looks.

"——Well said!"

"Papa papa" Rabbit clapped his hands desperately, his voice was very loud, and it was particularly funny and crisp in the dead silence of the sea of ​​people below. While clapping, he also shook his head exaggeratedly and pretended to be moved:

"As expected of the first person, that's how it should be! Enjoy life, enjoy the world game!"

Su Ming'an felt like he was being let go, the cover up on his body was still there, and the people around him cast surprised looks.

The psychology of rejection will always exist among humans.

But if you get to a high enough level...

"Today's welcome party—that's it for now! Woohoo—!"

"Now everyone is about to travel together and collectively enter our first apocalypse!"

The sky suddenly appeared, and the red and purple brilliance instantly dazzled people's eyes. As soon as the snow-white rabbit clapped its hands, blood-red light scattered all over the sky, covering endless people in an instant——

【——Best wishes to everyone. 】

[Game-Happy! 】



A burst of white light flashed, and Su Mingan found that he was in a small personal space.

Because he didn't know where the death rollback skill came from, he is now the best among the billions of Zhai Xing players, which may help him continue on better.

For an ordinary college student, this is really too much praise for him.

...After the end of the one-year world game, rankings will be made. The higher the points, the greater the weight.

If he keeps maintaining such a height, he will receive more and more attention...

The eyes of more than a billion people.

The game of high-dimensional creatures is really realistic and ironic.

The world chat channel is already a mess, with curses and confused remarks filling the chat channel in the lower left corner of the field of vision:

[Shen Yan lv1: Are you kidding me, am I still in a dream? 】

[Faye Wong lv1: Is the first game world the end of the world? ! Do you want us to fight zombies collectively? Or facing natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes? I don't want to die! 】

[Wang Yongjian lv1: Looking for team friends and long-term companions, add me as number CD8928! 】

[Yanzi lv1: Mom, has mom seen me? I am Xiao Yan! Mom, have you been chosen? 】

[Yu Ruohe lv1: Don’t panic, everyone. I have posted on the forum what you need to pay attention to in the apocalyptic world. I hope it can help my compatriots. 】

[Yang Changxu lv1: I am a soldier of the Dragon Kingdom. If I meet my compatriots in the game copy, I will give priority to ensuring the safety of my compatriots. Please don't be afraid, we will survive! 】

[Filar lv.1: Are people from the Dragon Kingdom so responsible? In this kind of thing, you should think about your own life, otherwise you won’t be able to survive...]



In open world-class forums, there are even more ghosts and monsters. Some boldly speculate on eschatology, some claim that unbelievers will surely die, some call on compatriots to stabilize their minds and adapt to the state, and some claim that they will dominate the world's games and become the number one. human.

Now it seems that all the pessimistic remarks are much more profound than the optimistic ones.

Pessimistic statements are about complaining and analyzing the future of mankind, while optimistic statements are about "this too shall pass."

Human beings are always good at looking to the future, looking forward to tomorrow, and then making repeated mistakes and wandering in the era.

Human history is a notepad filled with bad things about human nature. And such a sudden game may make them aware of some brand-new content that they have never thought of.

Su Mingan did not pay too much attention to the forum, but checked his own status and waited for the beginning of the apocalyptic world.

Finally, the second hand on the crystal ball reached zero bit by bit.

[The first world: the apocalyptic world. A global survival game on the same stage. 】

[Plot tip: "——Salvation comes from sacrifice, but before righteousness, people are happy to have a bright future."

"As the little girl of original sin, she gave people the most tolerant revenge."]

[There are two clearance routes (peace route, force route) and three different world endings in this world]

[Players are asked to grasp every choice and pursue every clue - until they discover the plot secrets hidden after the end of the world. 】

[The apocalyptic world will be copied into 50,000 identical worlds, with about 20,000 players playing in each world! 】

【——The world begins! 】

A burst of white light flashed, and Su Mingan closed his eyes.



[Welcome to the world game, the first level, the apocalyptic world - when the world begins, you can use points to purchase skills and props]



"——Is this a squad system? Who are you? Are you all players brought in by that damn organizer?" A rough male voice came to my ears:

"We need to live together now, right? Although becoming an audience means you don't have to take risks, I don't want to end up with insufficient points and all humanity being wiped out..."

Su Mingan opened his eyes and heard the slight ticking of liquid in his ears.

In the field of vision, there is a green life bar of 500/500 and a blue mana bar of 140/140 in the upper left corner. There is a barrage interface in the upper right corner, showing the heat. It is still blank and all players are in the game.

You can open the backpack interface with your thoughts, but currently the grid inside is still blank.

"Fuck, why were we locked up in the first place?" The big man ran to the iron railing and hugged the railing to curse.

The current situation is that several people are in a cell-like room. The walls are covered with traces of lime, and there is a smell of blood on the railings.

…It doesn’t look like a good start anyway.
