"You know how to play games all day long, what use will you have in the future!"
"Is the game that fun? Can you make money and eat by playing games in the future?"
"Fail the exam again and again! If you play games again, I will break your legs!"
"Go away! I will treat you as my son!"
…
"Dogen! Dogen! Wake up!"
The shouts coming from his ears woke up Li Daoyuan who was sleeping soundly.
He opened his eyes and saw his roommate Wang Haoxuan looking at him worriedly.
"Sorry, I had a nightmare again."
Li Daoyuan rubbed his forehead slightly tiredly. This was not the first time he had a nightmare recently.
Wang Haoxuan shook his head and sighed after hearing this.
"The graduation tasks arranged by the hospital this time are simply outrageous. You are not the only one in our major who has trouble sleeping."
As students of the E-Sports College of Jiangnan University, the two have already been considered semi-professional players after more than three years of systematic study and training.
They are only a diploma from Jiangnan University before becoming a professional e-sports player.
But this time, the graduation task given by the college requires them to obtain a ranking of no less than the top 1,000 in the global list of the upcoming "Apocalypse World" game.
As the latest next-generation holographic online game, "Apocalypse World" has been heavily promoted around the world in the first three years since its launch.
Nowadays, the threshold for playing this game has even reached the point where as long as your home has electricity, you can play it online.
Just imagine, nearly 10 billion players around the world are participating, but Lee Do-won and the others need to reach the top 1,000 in the global rankings in the game!
"I'm still thinking about whether it was a wrong choice to choose to major in e-sports."
When he thought of these outrageous graduation conditions, Wang Haoxuan's face was full of bitterness and hatred.
Li Daoyuan said indifferently.
"I've read it all, what else can I do? At worst, I can send my greetings to the school leaders' families and wish them good health."
"What you said makes sense. By the way, how long will it be until "Apocalypse World" is launched online?"
Wang Haoxuan asked with a smile.
"There are still five minutes until 8:00 p.m., which is enough time for us to debug the equipment and complete the character creation."
Li Daoyuan looked at his watch and asked Wang Haoxuan to hand him a headset-style gaming device.
"Have you decided on the basic occupation and character race in the early stage?"
"I still play the mage as always. Among the character races, I think the intelligence and magic power of the Eldar can be +5%, which is a must-have for the mage."
Wang Haoxuan replied without hesitation.
"Mage? Then I'll still play the warrior. I'm going to choose the human race as the character race. The experience gain can be increased by 5%."
Li Daoyuan made the decision that he had already made in his heart.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Haoxuan was surprised and questioned.
"If you are playing a warrior, shouldn't you choose the dragon race as the character's race? Both physique and strength can be increased by 5%!"
"No, the basic attribute blessing can be compensated for by equipment. On the contrary, it is gained through experience. The effect will be greater in the later stages."
Listening to Li Daoyuan's very serious explanation, Wang Haoxuan could only shrug his shoulders and stop worrying.
"I won't tell you anymore. I'll create the character online first... By the way, don't forget to add the word "Jiangnan" to the ID prefix, otherwise, the college will not recognize your graduation results."
"You know, the server opening tonight is the most critical stage of leveling up. Haoxuan, don't hold yourself back."
When Wang Haoxuan heard this, he chuckled.
"Don't worry, I don't need to go too fast, I just need to be faster than the two grandsons in the opposite dormitory."
Hearing this, Li Daoyuan also laughed.
The two students in the opposite dormitory also belong to the e-sports major, and they often compete with Li Daoyuan and Wang Haoxuan.
This time when the server of "Apocalypse World" was launched, the two sides also said harsh words to each other: Whoever graduates will be the grandson!
After saying hello to Wang Haoxuan, Li Daoyuan put on his gaming device and lay back on his bed.
After activating the device, Li Daoyuan's eyes flashed with red light, and then he quickly entered the game world.
[Welcome to the world of Apocalypse, this device has been bound to your iris authentication, please confirm your game ID]
"Jiangnan Yijian!"
Li Daoyuan grinned and quickly confirmed the game ID.
[The game ID has been determined. Next, please select your initial profession and character race (Note: The initial profession and character race will determine your subsequent game experience, please choose carefully.)]
After the system voice ended, several options appeared in front of Li Daoyuan.
In addition to the ten basic professions of warrior, knight, ranger, thief, monk, mage, priest, Taoist, wizard, and priesthood, there are additional options for different races behind each profession.
In addition to the human race, spirit race and dragon race mentioned by Li Daoyuan and Wang Haoxuan, there is also a heavenly race whose skill effect is +5%.
After a brief scan, Li Daoyuan firmly chose the combination of warrior + human.
[The current game character has been created. Do you need to adjust the character's appearance? (Currently, your own appearance and figure have been reproduced)]
Looking at the game character who is a complete replica of himself, paired with the warrior's original soft armor suit, it has a rather heroic and handsome charm.
After observing it like this, Li Daoyuan felt that his appearance was enough to play "Apocalypse World", so he immediately gave up the modification and chose to confirm.
[You have completed the initial character creation, please wait patiently for the game to be officially launched]
After the system voice ended, an hourglass with a 10-second countdown appeared in front of Li Daoyuan's eyes.

…

When the hourglass passed to the last moment, Li Daoyuan had quick eyesight and clicked to log in immediately.
However, even so, the login interface in front of him was obviously stuck. It was not until 2 seconds later that the world in front of him reappeared with new light, and the vast and blue sky suddenly appeared in his sight. .
[Congratulations on entering the Apocalypse World. As the 2607841st player in the world to enter the Apocalypse World, you have received the reward: Bloodthirsty Swordsman]
"Just two seconds...the number of logged-in players has reached over 2.6 million?"
Li Daoyuan was secretly shocked. As expected, nearly 10 billion players around the world logged in collectively. Whoever was first and who was faster was competing based on network speed and luck.
Just when Li Daoyuan wanted to check what reward he had received, a strong and obvious feeling of weightlessness was instantly transmitted to his whole body.
After taking a closer look, he suddenly discovered that he, who had just entered the Apocalypse World, was actually ten thousand meters above the ground. At the same time, countless players visible to the naked eye were falling towards the land below with him.
