Mysterious Tribulation

Whoohoo!

Aaron's eyes darkened, and then a torrent of data composed of countless 0s and 1s appeared, falling like a waterfall.

He looked forward slightly in his heart, and at the same time secretly lost his origin, and arbitrarily fabricated another false identity in the sense of occultism.

The next moment, his eyes were bright, and he had appeared in a square full of sci-fi metal style.

There are towering metal buildings all around, and some are directly suspended in mid-air.

In front of him, a light curtain emerged:

【Welcome to the Metaverse! 】

【A new user is detected, have you completed the registration? 】

[It is detected that the user does not log in with the 'Gaia chip', the 100% immersion function is turned off, the intracranial high and the tide function is turned off...]

...

register!

Aaron had already used a fake identity at this time, so naturally he was not afraid of anything, and calmly gave orders with his mind.

【Ding! Please enter your username! 】

Aaron!

[Registration is successful, neuron and brain wave information is entered, and a unique account is automatically generated - %￥#@! 】

【Dear! Welcome to join the big family of Gaia virtual reality network, Gaia network company will serve you wholeheartedly and provide excellent virtual network experience, please give a good comment! 】

...

【Ding! 】

[The 'big guy' sent a friend request, did it pass? 】

pass!

Aaron clicked to confirm, and a huge figure suddenly appeared beside him.

It was a strong man with a height of more than three meters and a frightening degree of mechanization: Hello... I'm Jason!

Jason?

Aaron thought of the short, thin man: How did you become like this?

In virtual reality, all shapes and appearances can be chosen... I have long wanted to make a 'metal giant' transformation, but unfortunately I don't have so many days, so I can only try it on the Gaia network first... Just this skin, Gaia Networks charged me for three days, it's so dark!

Jason squatted down and spoke in a voice that sounded like a trumpet, which made people's eardrums hurt.

Is this... a virtual reality network? Wireless networking, unimaginable technology!

Aaron looked around and found that many of the 'players' had various weird styles, with ghosts and ghosts everywhere, and even a pool of mud squirming on the ground.

Alas... we are still poor, and we can't use many paid functions of the virtual network... we have to recharge to play a game, and only a few basic contact functions are still open for free...

Jason lamented: We are all 'retail investors', and the login area is also this public square. Those rich people bought real estate directly in the Metaverse and logged in directly. We don't have permission to log in to that kind of privacy. go in...

Property in the virtual universe? Aaron sucked in a breath: Ask for money?

Not only money, but some are even more expensive than real estate!

Jason's face was full of disappointment. After a while, he patted his cheek: Come on, I'll add other friends to you and form a group together.

Aaron chose to accept them one by one and saw the usernames of Chloe and others.

The old man is an 'old handsome guy'!

Wilson is the 'Captain'!

Chloe is rather strange, called a 'Trojan Horse'!

Trojan horse?

Yeah, Chloe has had a wish since he was a child. He wants to become the top hacker, break through the background program of the Bank of Life, and adjust his account balance to unlimited...

Jason smiled: Unfortunately... She doesn't have much money and can't afford top-notch chips. No matter how good the programming skills are, it's useless.

Speaking ill of people behind their backs is not a good habit!

A white light flashed, and Chloe's figure emerged from the side. She had colorful hair dyed with two antenna-like hairpins on her head, a pair of translucent fluorescent wings on her back, and one in her mouth. Lollipop.

That's right! Compared to the shameless act of the old man who had to pay for the skin of a handsome guy, hoping to cheat in the metaverse... We've already done the math.

Wilson also came over. He was wearing a pirate captain's uniform, and his face was much more handsome than in reality.

'Just because of the appearance of this sassy bag, you are too embarrassed to talk about others? ’

'Wait, if it's a full virtual reality network...then how can you tell if it's a man or a woman, or...a dog? ’

Aaron's mouth twitched slightly: Okay... let's go to the bank first, it seems... there's no money in this place.

The building of the Life Bank is very large and very conspicuous, just opposite the public square, occupying a lot of space.

Its logo is a Mobius ring, which looks like an infinite loop in the metaverse, representing time.

The Bank of Life has branches all over the Metaverse. It's very convenient to do business. If you have money, that is time, where you are God! The favorite motto of those bankers is 'time is money'!

Chloe took Aaron and walked into the grand, palace-like gate of the bank, trembling involuntarily, as if a little scared: No one can owe money to the Bank of Life, because once you open an account, your account With a balance of 0, you will die instantly!

She seems to have a good heart, and is still hinting and persuading faintly.

Jason and Wilson next to him were a little anxious, and winked at Chloe again and again.

I don't care... After all, I have confidence in my lifespan, and... According to what you said, if you don't have money, it's hard to walk in the 'city that never sleeps', right?

Aaron shrugged.

Chloe sighed: It's true... For us residents of the city that never sleeps, since we were born with a loan from the Bank of Life due to body modification, time is always not enough... Oil, pure water and food , housing, medicine... Many people do not have more than one month in their accounts, and their wages must be paid daily, otherwise many people will not see the sun the next day!

‘Use life to squeeze employees? This is an ideal model for factory owners and financiers... Because if you don't work, you will die, so you must work hard! ’

Aaron touched his chin and came to the counter.

Hello, dear customer, what can I do for you?

A sweet-smiling blonde in a small suit asks with a professional smile.

Open an account!

Aaron reports his Metaverse account.

The next moment, he felt a cryptic scan coming, and even wanted to put a certain brand on himself.

However, he had already made a disguise, and at this time he was just an 'ordinary natural person', equivalent to a puppet, and he was left with a mysterious brand on his body.

'Mysticism? This ritual has a very high personality... It sees through everything about my fake identity, and it is even entangled with my lifespan. ’

He muttered to himself, and then heard the slightly surprised voice of the blonde: Dear guest, you have 29,387 days left in your account balance! You have become a star-rated customer of our company!

More than eighty years?

Wilson and Jason exclaimed: No wonder the old man didn't even go to work when he heard that he was going to take a ride. Natural people are indeed local tyrants!

Okay!

Aaron nodded expressionlessly.

In fact, if his true infinite lifespan were exposed, it would presumably crash the Life Bank system immediately.

But this is just an identity, which is more in line with his personality.
