The Fourth Quadrant of Online Games

Xiao Xiang always sat on the edge of the flower bed downstairs in Pu Yiyang's house, blowing the wind for half an hour, he didn't pay much attention to the frequent sights from around him, and almost forgot that he was disheveled.

What's the point, he thought sourly, he was so angry that he slammed the door out, he was still not willing to run further.

After spit on himself for a while, Xiang Hong forcibly blamed it on the fact that he didn't take anything when he left, including the car keys, so he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

"It's not that I want to go back to make people hate you." He put his hands on his knees and stood up quickly, "I'm just going to get things."

Mr. Xiang succeeded in persuading himself, and turned back the way he came. When he stepped through the glass door of the apartment building, he didn't forget to smooth the wrinkled sweater on his body and smooth his rare messy hair.

The smart lock of Pu Yiyang's house could recognize his face long ago. He found that his authority was still available, and he felt a little happy again. He cleared his throat and pushed the door open.

"I didn't take the key..." Halfway through the words, he felt something was wrong.

The house was too quiet.

From his understanding, when that guy was alone at home, nine out of ten he was playing games.As a non-access player, even if that person doesn't have the habit of swearing at his mother while typing on the keyboard, it is inevitable that he will make a sound when his fingers move at high speed.

Realizing that something might happen, Xiang Hong immediately rushed into the living room in three steps at a time.

He saw Pu Yiyang at a glance.

The man was sitting on the rug with his head thrown back against the sofa.He closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, holding something in his hand, hanging softly by his side.

Xiang Hong was so frightened that the three souls lost two and a half souls, and ran straight over, hugging the man's upper body into his arms.

"Pu Yiyang?" He tremblingly touched the man's face, his eyes began to heat up again, "You bastard, don't scare me..."

At this time, the hand he was holding the back of Pu Yiyang's head suddenly touched a cold and hard object.

Xiang Hong's gaze was finally able to move away from Pu Yiyang's tightly closed eyes, and he saw clearly what it was, and his hanging heart relaxed a little.

The shape of the headset is embedded in the back of the head. This is a connection device produced by FREE. Even if he has never used it, he has seen it countless times.

Wait, connected devices?

This kid has been playing games for ten years, and no matter what happens, he will always be his non-access player. Why did he just break up one second, and rush to take out the connected device the next second, and enter DELTA without any delay?

It was such a coincidence that Xiang Hong had to start thinking, the reason why Pu Yiyang said so many nasty things to him uncharacteristically was to stimulate him and drive him out of the house.

If it's just a brain-computer game, why bother to force him away first?

Without thinking about it, Xiang Hong clasped the metal cover with his hands, ready to pull it off Pu Yiyang's head.

Free's connected device can be forcibly closed by external means. He can recite every word in the manual. If he unplugs this thing now, that person will automatically pop up from the game, at most because of lack of system buffer , dizzy all night.

But Mr. Xiang, who was decisive in killing and killing, actually hesitated at this moment.

The palm-sized signal box on the coffee table was still glowing. He stretched out his other hand and touched the box.

The air screen popped up in front of him, showing that not only DELTA was running, but also several webpages that hadn't been closed yet.

"Today is the first day of DELTA's [-]th anniversary event. Tens of millions of players from all over the world have logged into the game at the same time. Obviously, no matter where they are in the fourth quadrant, everyone is excited. Waiting, waiting for what surprises this most popular game in history will bring to players on this day..."

The person who said this was a pretty young girl. She was also holding a bean-pink connected device in her hand, and she seemed to be preparing for the live broadcast later.

Xiang Hong's eyes returned to Pu Yiyang, and his beating heart suddenly calmed down, so calm that it was almost still.

This man is a bastard, a bastard who refuses to tell the truth and only likes to whitewash the peace with pretended indifference.He should be angry, he should growl, he should tear the damn connected device off the man's head, force Pu Yiyang to face him face to face, and finish what he should say and what should not be said.

However, at this moment, when he silently looked at this person whose consciousness was not here at all, he suddenly understood what this person really meant.

"You don't distrust me that much, do you?" Xiang Hong's fingertips slowly brushed over Pu Yiyang's closed eyes and lips that no longer smiled, "You know I can't let you enter the game alone , but you know, I'm not even at a loss to figure out what to do."

If it was Mr. Xiang from half a month ago, he might have acted impulsively long ago, and either forced Pu Yiyang out, or rushed into the game by himself.

But now Xiang Hong has fallen enough, he had to get up from the mud, and quickly learned what patience is and what it means to do the right thing at the right time.

He is no longer a naive ghost who only wants to prove himself so that he can break free from the shadow of the past, and he is no longer a reckless fool who only pretends to win or lose in front of him. He is the president of FREE, and he wants to create for FREE. The one responsible for future suffering.

"Wait for me." Xiang Hong carried Pu Yiyang to the sofa, kissed the man's cool forehead, and then stood up again.

At this time, DELTA is a lively and prosperous scene.

The purple, square-headed hobbit stood cheerfully on the edge of a railing, with a petite and lovely Kalian girl on his shoulders.The girl was almost standing on top of the hobbit, with her upper body straightened up, her head poking out, her eyes full of novelty and excitement.

Below the field of vision is a vast sea of ​​sand. The difference from reality is that the sand is not yellow or ochre, but silvery white. It reflects extremely dazzling colorful light, just like the mountains and plains are covered with diamonds, it is as beautiful as jewels and otherworldly.

Not only that, the sand sea is still alive.Every now and then something would swim from the ground, and where it passed, the sea of ​​diamonds would break down and shine on the sun overhead, like dancing rainbow lights growing on the ground.

"Well, isn't this place nice?" The Hobbit willingly stood in front of the stepping stones, barely seeing anything, but he was still so excited, "Dad really didn't lie to you."

The Kalian girl giggled, wrapped her arms around the hobbit's thick neck, and kissed his father on the forehead.

Then the hobbit's communicator rang.

"Yo, it's you, what's the matter?" His tone was a little wary, "Let's say it first, I have important things to do today, cat master, so I won't mess around with you. What did I say? I Now in Shaka. Wait a minute, don’t come here, boy, I told you not to come here... I’m fucking passing by, what are you doing?”

The reason why he made a rough sentence was because he saw a black spot in front of him that was growing from small to large. It was nothing but the single-person shuttle boat on his own ship.The small boat was still a semi-finished product, the engine could only work for a few minutes, and the steering control hadn't been installed yet, so the chain would fall off after a while.

If he could die, the chain would fall right in front of him.

The hobbit was only able to jump back a few meters with his daughter on his back, lest he be crushed into a meatloaf by the boat that was rushing towards the parapet.A few seconds later, he saw the shuttle boats turned into a pile of scrap metal and ruined rooms, and he was so angry that he ignored his daughter, and staged a set of words to the people in the boat. The top ten tortures.

"Passing by, do you know how much money I paid to rent this private room?" The old cat watched the passerby crawl out unscathed, and for the [-]th time had the urge to strangle this scourge to death.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," the human youth apologized sincerely, brushed the gray from his eyebrows and hair, turned his head and smiled at the Kalian girl who was stunned aside, "Hello, little beauty, first time Meet, I'm your dad's good friend, you can call me Uncle Lu."

The little girl smiled happily, as if she didn't feel the pain from her father at all, she called out "Hi Uncle", and then gently tugged at the Hobbit's hand: "Dad, you lied to me, this game Not everyone here is as ugly as you."

Old cat: "..."

He stared at the passing for a few seconds, and suddenly, as if he had seen a ghost, he grabbed the human youth's arm: "What's the matter with you, your face!"

The passerby rubbed his face innocently.

"Face? What's wrong with the face? I didn't change my face." He blinked.

"Damn it, that's it!" the old cat yelled, "You have an expression, do you know how scary it is? I said the surname Lu, did you... did you get your brains open and did that thing too? "

The passer-by said nonchalantly, "Oh, what are you talking about, computer-connected devices? Yes, I'm the same as you now."

The old cat stared at his beaded eyes, and was taken aback.

Those who passed by never used connected devices. This was something he had clearly grasped from the first day he knew this person.It must be a big event that will change a dead-headed person's mind, and combined with so many baskets that have been passed by recently, this is most likely not a worry-free thing.

"Tell me," the old cat said in despair, "how many treasures are you going to take from me?"

"I'm really not here to rob," the passerby smiled wryly, "Brother Cat, I want you to take your daughter out of Delta right now."

The old cat was stunned: "Leave DELTA?"

"Yes, log off." The two passing fingers flicked in the air, making a green clock appear in the air, "It's now."

It was only the last quarter of an hour until eight o'clock.

This is his first brain-computer connection. To be honest, he is a game master, but no matter how good an expert is, he may not be able to handle the asynchronous response during the first brain-computer connection.When he woke up in the game, he stayed in the same place as when he went offline last time, which was in the old cat's cabin.The passing body that he had watched off-screen for ten years suddenly became brand new. It took him at least ten minutes to get familiar with his hands and legs before he staggered to the edge of the hatch .As for being able to operate the shuttle boat, to him, it was like single-handedly challenging a boss at the level of an ore master. If the characters in the game could also sweat, a few clothes would not be enough for him to change.

Fortunately, Pu Yiyang thought to himself, he got along well with his "new" body, and now he can almost control it freely, and he no longer behaves like a cripple with Huntington's disease.

After hearing his words, the old cat was startled for a while, but only for a while.Over the years, the old cat and him have been through life and death in the game, and they know him best. Although they would quarrel from time to time, in the final analysis, the Hobbits still trust him very much.

"Is it about the Voyage Star?" The old cat grabbed his arm and asked nervously, "But the dungeon, didn't the dungeon blow up for you?"

The passerby shook his head: "There is no time to explain, hurry up, go offline first..."

The last half of his words were lost in a deafening boom.

The entire private room shook, and the purple sky burst into fireworks at the same time, and there were waves of cheers from all around.

"Look, there's something coming out of the ground!"

"What, what, is it a Shakaka beast? I heard that Shakaka beasts rarely show their heads. They grew up eating diamonds and have crystal-like heads. Everyone who sees them has good luck."

"No, why is it black? It's quite fun. Could it be a celebration of DELTA?"

The tourists in the adjacent boxes poked their heads out one after another, marveling at the scene in the sand below.

Pu Yiyang also saw it.Through the passing eyes, he saw with his own eyes that the pure white earth was torn apart with black holes.From these cracks, countless thick black things gushed out, tumbling and twisting, like a group of crazy dancing snakes, enjoying the feast with the accompaniment of fireworks.

The ground was shattered into pieces, becoming the hem of a dancing girl's hem, and more diamond gravel was raised high, reflecting the fireworks in the sky, interweaving dazzling rainbow lights one after another——

So beautiful, yet so creepy.
