Conquering alien worlds starts from the game

Vanilla Pudding, the UP host of Station B, whose real name is Qin Guan, is a little famous in the game area, but a single video has never had more than [-] hits, and the number of fans has not yet reached [-].

If the number of followers is less than [-], you won’t be able to receive just meals, and the incentive bonus for conversion of clicks is not enough to eat. In order to make ends meet, Qin Guan usually has to work part-time in the business of betting and earning money in addition to making videos and live broadcasts... It’s obvious that it’s the whole society. Everyone thought that the most relaxed self-media bowl, but lived more than social animals.

A week ago, in a certain online game black market... er, the exchange forum for goldsmiths, Qin Guan saw a soft post posted by a first-level trumpet registered by someone who didn't know who registered it. This person insisted on pretending to be a trumpet recommended by a third person, and then... clicked on the official website link posted by the trumpet.

Both the humble official website and the promotional slogan "Independent VR Game" are full of slots, but Goose, Qin Guan is still hooked by those three promotional videos...

Especially the last "Undead NPC Combat Demonstration" video, wearing broken armor, zombies that are more real than movie special effects blockbusters swing a huge rusty ax to chop trees, no matter it is the picture, physics engine, interactive collision, you can see it Qin Guan's scalp was numb, and his blood surged up.

And then... Seeing the 188 VR helmet material cost, Qin Guan calmed down again.

Not too expensive, but too cheap.

After all, he is also the anchor of the game zone. Qin Guan still has the common sense that he should have. There are tens of thousands of VR devices on the market. If you sell a 188 VR headset, you can play black technology games that beat all VR games on the market?

I'm afraid I'm not kidding!

So Qin Guan cursed "Idiot" and closed the webpage.

The next day, Qin Guan once again opened the official website that treats people like pigs, and enjoyed the promotional video again...

After repeating this several times, Qin Guan silently filled out the application for the closed beta, scanned the QR code and paid 188 yuan...

It's a gamble—no, it's a gamble for faith!

Anyway, the fee was paid through the platform, so he can apply for a refund if he doesn't click to confirm receipt...

Qin Guan, who paid at the end of September, woke up early in the morning on the [-]th, gearing up to continue entering the game to make gold, when he suddenly found a reminder to open the server in his mailbox.

"Is it coming? Whether it's a liar or a belief will be revealed soon!" Qin Guan cheered up, quickly picked up the box next to the computer desk, and took out his helmet.

No matter how you look at this VR helmet, it looks like a motorcycle helmet, but it is indeed different from an ordinary motorcycle helmet...you can connect it to the computer by plugging in the USB, and after connecting to the PC official website interface on the computer, a pre-built The interface of the game character comes.

Hmm... It's just a simple creation interface that is no different from the oldest IE pop-up window. You can pre-set ID, select race, select gender... There is only a single option "Undead" in the race column.

When Qin Guan got the helmet before, he had already pre-built a character. The ID is the same as his anchor number called Vanilla Pudding, and the gender is... female.

That's right, Qin Guan is a monster boss.

Anyway, as long as he played the game, it didn't matter whether he played the gold account or the main account, Qin Guan would only play the female account.

After turning on the computer, wearing the helmet, connecting the USB, and activating the pre-built interface on the PC official website, Qin Guan found that the pop-up window was different this time. There was an extra login button under the ID, race, and gender columns.

Without hesitation, Qin Guan manipulated the mouse and clicked the login button on the monitor.

Then... another pop-up window popped up: "Please keep a safe and stable lying position before choosing to log in."

"So troublesome?" Qin Guan muttered, dragged the computer desk to the bed, leaned on the bed, and clicked to confirm with an awkward posture.

The next second, the buddy who had just woken up tilted his head and fell asleep snoring in a side-lying position.

Of course, in Qin Guan's personal experience, he did not fall asleep...

The spiritual branding rune engraved in the helmet was activated after he clicked the button to confirm the login, and his soul was transmitted to the magic plane through the matrix. In Qin Guan's experience, this process was that his eyes suddenly went dark, and his whole body was shaken. A slight tugging sensation is experienced.

Then... Qin Guan opened his eyes, and the login interface with a pure black background appeared in front of him.

"I just got in here? It doesn't need to be buffered? It's faster than logging into the web game?!"

Qin Guan was so excited that he quickly looked at the login interface carefully...

His ID, race, and optional gender appear on the upper right of the line of sight, and below is a button to select a game character.

"Is this VR? Is this black technology?!"

Qin Guan was very excited, he couldn't feel the existence of his own body at all, but he could clearly feel his own existence (uh...).

When he focused his consciousness on the "select game character" button, a skeleton with a sense of age appeared in the middle of his sight.

Qin Guan: "??"

Although he didn't have a body, Qin Guan still felt his whole body trembling...

"Yeah, did you deliberately make the character model old for the sake of realism...you don't need to go to this level!!"

Qin Guan complained vigorously to pass the skeleton.

And then... another skeleton, more aged and dusty, floated out.

Qin Guan: "..."

Qin Guan continued to swipe down expressionlessly.

The third, the fourth... No matter how Qin Guan switches the game character selection, what comes out are all unique, extremely old corpses, as if they have just been dug out of the grave.

Each skeleton has different degrees of "age patina". Not to mention the black joints, even the eye sockets and teeth are covered with plaster; some bones have cracks caused by damage, and some Missing small bone fragments in less important places are more common.

"The planners are trying their best to prove that their promotional video is definitely not a gimmick, and the game itself is absolutely genuine, even more real than the promotional video!" Qin Guan complained even more forcefully.

Qin Guan, who has lived for 24 years and has 14 years of game experience, has never seen such a wonderful work of detailing the details of the character model!

That's right, a hardcore player like him attaches great importance to the realism of the game, but it's really unnecessary to be so real!

Just like he really likes the thick feeling of the zombie NPC in the promotional video, but he will never want to be friends with this kind of scary NPC!

"Forget it, it's all here..." Finding that no matter what, he couldn't pick out an optional model with a less heavy taste, Qin Guan had no choice but to go back sadly and choose the first one.

At least the first one looks newer and less dirty...

After choosing this skeleton, Qin Guan felt the slight pull again, and the scene in front of him seemed to be infinitely approaching that skeleton.

Then...he felt as if he had merged with the skeleton.

Before Qin Guan figured out what kind of black technology was used by the producer to give players such a magical "sense of substitution", he found that his "body" was slowly rising.

As if taking an elevator from the well to the surface, the seemingly endless darkness in front of Qin Guan's eyes gradually receded, and the birth point of the undead in the promotional video appeared before his eyes.

Hmm... In fact, the player who was teleported to the core of the spiritual imprint and selected the "role" in the "corpse bank" floated up from the ground...

In the ear, there is the sound of wind blowing.

In the fresh, earthy air, there was an inexplicable, strange smell.

In front of him, there is... a small town that seems to have been abandoned for decades, consisting of sparse old dilapidated wooden houses.

Qin Guan was standing in the center of this desolate town, behind him was the circular earthen platform at the birth point, and in front of him was a deserted street full of various wreckage.

"...Damn it!!"

Qin Guan took a deep breath.

Just... he couldn't convince himself that he was just playing a game, he seemed to be standing in such a desolate ancient town that could definitely be used for horror movies!

After subconsciously complaining, Qin Guan also heard the clicking sound of his upper and lower teeth...

Qin Guan: "..."

Qin Guan, who always thought he was definitely a hardcore player, silently looked down at his "new body".

The bare white bone frame has a sense of age, and on the palm of the white bone that can be clenched and spread freely, the subtle cracks in the phalanges are clearly visible.

"...I'm sorry, I apologize, I'm definitely not a hardcore player." Qin Guan lost his mind and handed over his knee.

"what--!"

A female scream suddenly sounded, which startled Qin Guan.

Qin Guan, who was still trying to correct his worldview, turned his head quickly.

At some point less than three meters away from him, there was a bare white skeleton with the same sense of age.

When Qin Guan turned his head to look over, this white skeleton... No, this player, as if he was also frightened, backed away in horror: "Oh my god, there are ghosts! Skeletons can move!"

Qin Guan was startled: "Aren't you a skeleton yourself?!"

"Huh?" The player immediately looked down at himself.

Then... this player, who entered the game about ten seconds later than Qin Guan, put his hands on his head and said, "Damn, I really look like a skeleton character! The painting style is not cartoony at all! Doesn't it mean that there is a difference between the character interface and the game interface?" Is there a difference!"

"what!!"

Another rough cry sounded tragically.

Qin Guan and Skeleton No. [-] both turned their faces away.

Another naked white skeleton with a sense of age appeared in front of the earth platform at the birth point, facing the direction of the two of them, with its mouth wide open, and even subconsciously put on a gesture of wanting to escape.

Before the skeleton No. [-] could make a sound, Qin Guan quickly raised his bony arm and pointed at it: "Don't scream, you are also a skeleton!"
