Data Wasteland

"welcome!"

Under Nova's guidance, Chen Xing quickly found a nearby electrical store. A young and beautiful girl in a maid costume greeted her and bowed to salute ninety degrees. I have to say that the service is quite good and the smile is quite sweet.

This home appliance store is very large, with a few hundred square meters at a glance, with a dazzling array of electronic products. It should be the largest store on this street. But the facade is very small. Before I came in, I thought it was a small shop, just like the one selling **** toys on the streets of the First Generation. This is probably related to the academic atmosphere of the White Elephant City. Everyone came to study and do research seriously, not for fun...

"I am going to play in Loulan Mainland and want to buy a set of somatosensory equipment." Chen Xing said straightforwardly. Although the girl is beautiful, he was tired of being with a bunch of women some time ago, and was a little tired of aesthetics. Unless it is a stunning level of 80 to 90, it is difficult to arouse his interest.

"We have three types here, the one you want?" the girl asked.

Chen Xing had never played before, so let the girl introduce him. When I was a courier in my last life, I was busy from morning to night, and later I was a mercenary and ran around the world. I have never been idle, so I have never contacted.

There are three types of somatosensory equipment, of which the fully immersed experience cabin is the best, but a fixed residence is required. After the purchase, 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 similar to the design of a spacesuit. You can experience it after putting on the whole set of equipment. The portable is relatively simple. It is a small vest with a holographic helmet, and two gloves. The box can be filled.

Chen Xing chose the simplest portable, a little clumsy in a space suit, and it looked silly. Chen Xing didn't plan to play for a long time, but wasted 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 promoted the external equipment again.

"What is it for?" Chen Xing asked casually. Anyway, it doesn't need much money, just buy it when it's useful.

"Yes, can..." The girl flushed and seemed a little embarrassed, "It can increase the happiness of the user."

"Happiness?" Chen Xing did not understand.

"That's it..." The girl took out a cylindrical object from the cupboard. The shape was round and bright, and it was very exquisite. She handed it to Chen Xing, "You, look for yourself..."

Chen Xing took it and took a look, but he was stunned.

"Ahem..."

In order to alleviate the embarrassment, he coughed twice and returned the thing, "Thank you, I don't have this need for the time being."

It turned out to be an airplane cup. It seems that the other party regards him as an otaku who can rely on him.

"Don't be embarrassed, many people in the college bought it." Maybe it's because similar situations are common, the girl persuaded.

"There is really no need, really..." Chen Xing put it off, picking up things, and quickly left the store.

"True hypocrisy!" The girl murmured when she glanced at the direction the guest was leaving, picked up the portable screen hung on her chest with a red string, and leaned against the door to play.

After a while, Chen Xing returned to the hotel. The doors and windows are closed to isolate the noise of the festival. He took out the device and put it on, then lay on the bed and turned on the helmet's power.

The curved screen in the helmet lights up, and a bright green progress bar appears.

[Equipment program is loading...]

When the progress bar reached 100%, a pleasant female voice sounded.

"Ding Dong, the basic program is loaded, welcome to use the virtual experience device."

"The device simulates a real experience, but it will not cause real harm or other unfavorable factors. Please rest assured to use it."

West Africa is the world's largest manufacturer of electronic equipment, and the black watch comes from the company, and its commercial status is very high.

"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 "yes" to the void. At the moment of touching, the cursor flashed, and the female voice sounded again, "Connecting..."

"The connection is successful, Baron Chen Erliu, welcome to use the portable motion sensing system "Nightcrawler" produced by Xifeis Company. The device uses the "Void 15th Generation" engine, which can bring you the most realistic and comfortable experience... "

After a series of introductions, the main screen appeared.

It seems to be in an endless starry sky, with countless planets floating in it. In front of me was a huge arch with the words "Welcome to the world of phantom shadows" on it. In the middle appeared an operation guide with both hands forward, Chen Xing followed suit, and his vision immediately extended forward and flew into the arch.

The planets grow larger from far to near, and are surrounded by circles of colorful text.

[West Fes Online Shopping Mall: Here is everything you want]

[Fate social circle: meet a new friend and start a new journey]

[Middle-Earth Market: Second-hand Flea Market]

[Hongtu Life Net: job hunting, buying a house, big online transactions...]

[Money Street Stock Market: Stocks, Futures, Gold Trading...]

[Fresh Homeland: Mutual Aid and Communication for Patients with Depression]

[Clay War: Virtual Reality Battlefield, incarnate as a mercenary soldier, fight for money and women! ]

...

There are so many sites, dazzling people, as if entering the sea of ​​stars, endless.

"The Loulan Continent."

Chen Xing issued a voice command, and a circular space-time tunnel appeared in the middle of the screen, and the vision stretched forward into the tunnel.

[Site search...]

About five or six seconds later, a planet appeared at the end of the tunnel, slowly slowing down, and stopped outside the planet. That point of view, as if looking at the mother star in outer space.

[Loulan Continent: The Thousand-Year War between the True Cultivation Dynasty and the Glory Empire, the collision of Eastern warriors, true cultivators and Western knights, wizards, and godsends, the dragon treasure, the castle princess, the cultivating sect, and the legend of Xuantian, all In it! ]

"Do you enter the Loulan Continent?"

When Chen Xing clicked "yes", his vision flew to the planet and passed through the atmosphere. The blue ocean and verdant continent appeared below, the vision kept getting closer, and finally landed on an ancient altar.

"It has been detected that you have not created a role in this world, start the role creation."

"Please enter the name of the character you want to create, and select your faction and profession."

Two circular signs representing the camp and the occupations of the subordinates appeared on the screen. The blue symbol is the True Cultivation Dynasty, and the red symbol is the Glory Empire. In terms of career choices, there are only two True Cultivation dynasties, the warrior and the true cultivator, while the Glory Empire has three, the knight, the wizard, and the favored. .

Chen Xing ordered the introduction of true cultivators. True cultivators are divided into "sword repair" and "qi repair", which seems to be considered as three professions.

"Which profession is more powerful?"

"Each profession has its advantages. Sword repair and wizards are good at long-range attacks, Qi repair and gods are good at healing and supporting, and warriors and knights are..."

"I'm not asking you." Chen Xing interrupted. Obviously, he is not asking for guidance ai, but Nova.

"What's your definition of awesome?" Another mechanically synthesized female voice sounded.

"Beat whoever you want, and kill whoever you want," Chen Xing said.

"I can't modify the data, so the risk will be very high." Nova replied.

"Then what's the point of this, don't play!" Chen Xing said uncomfortably. There is no one sword ninety-nine, no one sword attire, like a novice, slowly practicing and climbing slowly, and being chopped by a veteran at any time, just like him now, what's the point?

Even the virtual world can't rise, so 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..."

"Is it a full-size queen?" Chen Xing asked.

"It should be almost the same as what you described." Nova replied, with uncertainty in the electronically synthesized voice.

Chen Xing didn't care too much, because the term "full-scale tuba" is a term on earth, and God knows how this world is expressed.

He thought about it, and clicked on Jianxiu of the Zhenxiu Dynasty, and then the character template popped out, which was 100% similar to his appearance, just like looking in a mirror. There is a modified option below. Chen Xing has many enemies and can’t use his true appearance, so he immediately modified himself into a middle-aged man with bones and immortality. The name is "Old Mo Han", which is based on a genuine novel he has read in his first life. of.

The screen flashed, and Chen Xing appeared in a small village.

"Moo..."

There was a melodious cow cry from the village road, and an old man drove an ox cart slowly past him. In the front is a farmhouse built of thatch and dirt, with potholes in the earth walls. The rice fields in the distance are as green as the sea, with wind blowing and green waves.

Looking down, he was covered with homespun clothes and holding a small wooden stick in his hand.

This novice is too soil and too poor...

"I want money, I want equipment!"

Chen Xing shouted to the sky with a small wooden stick. He believes that there will be a girl like a fairy who will drop from the sky, and then give him a full set of divine costumes, with a ninety-nine sword, and then embark on the peak of life.

However, there was no fairy going down to the 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 passing two farmhouses and a big dilapidated well, Chen Xing saw Nova.

"What, you're just a kid, you're still a man!"

In front of him was a little boy wearing a rag, with two of his front teeth missing and a dirty face. Chen Xing couldn't help but scream.

"Isn't the little boy very cute?" Nova asked in a puzzled way.

"No, change. At least it's a woman. I don't like men. Change, change!"

"Oh..." A bright green light flashed, and Nova turned into a little girl, wearing a rag coat and two soaring horn braids on her head.

"Why is it a kid again, can't it be bigger!" Chen Xing was a little crazy.

"You didn't buy assistive equipment, and adult women have no meaning to you." Nova said seriously.

"It's up to you, it's up to you." Chen Xing no longer wanted to say, and then asked, "Where are the money and equipment?"

"Go to my house to get it." After saying that, the little girl with the soul of Mingwang ran towards the village.

Chen Xing caught up and saw Nova running into a half-collapsed farmhouse, and her heart suddenly became cold for the most part, but after following up, she saw the contents inside and became energetic again.

It was a large exquisite treasure chest, inlaid with gold and jade, exuding a faint light, and extremely luxurious.
