Hyperreal board game

The waiter brought braised pork and dried cauliflower, and the two of them started eating again in silence.

The braised pork is made according to the local taste, reducing the sweetness, and the stew is soft and creamy, with a tangy aroma and not greasy at all.The cauliflower in the dry pot is dried out, and the surface is slightly caramelized like tiger stripes. The mouth is also soft and crisp, slightly bitter and sweet, and the aroma of chili is appetizing.

After eating a few pieces of meat, it was Yue Zimo who spoke first, "I was celebrating a birthday with a friend a month ago, drinking and singing at KTV. Suddenly a strange gray noodle popped up on my phone. I didn't order it. Let it be cancelled, and then it was unreasonably dragged in."

...It turns out that rational people still account for the majority, and they all know that they should refuse at this time, although it is useless.

Then there was being forced to play a "hyper-real board game" every 10 days.

Except for the first game, when beginners don't know anything, the second official game, the mobile phone will unlock the friend function, and will give more detailed instructions.

It will tell players that it is "unbelievable luck" to be able to participate in such an adventure. For example, the skills, props and even gold coins obtained in the game can be used in reality to a limited extent.

How "limited"?For example, a gold coin is enough for a family of three to live a good life for a year in the game world, but in reality, it can be exchanged for 100 yuan.

As for how the financial system between the two worlds works and how the exchange rate is determined...it is unknown.

An Ge concluded: "So you don't know much more than me."

Yue Zimo tilted his head like in a game and smiled shyly: "Hey~ After all, I haven't left my identity as a rookie... Let's work hard together in the future!"

It's easy for him to say such a bad thing.

But in this way, the awkward and condensed atmosphere before dissipated, and the two began to happily exchange information about the end of the game.

Yue Zimo got less experience and monetary rewards, but he also completed the third puzzle and got a lottery ticket. He used it at that time and got a primary brute force belt. Function: After equipped, strength +2.

Leaving aside the dangers of the super-real board game system, this is considered a western fantasy game, such as in the Dungeons and Dragons series, the warrior class is a relatively good novice outfit.

In addition, Yue Zimo didn't get an extra chance to ask questions, but he had one more game task than An Ge.In addition to getting out of the maze, there is another one that the number of surviving players is not less than two, so he finally got two rewards: one is the guardian heart necklace of the same style as An Ge, and the other is [Theo Speth's short sword], but the attributes have changed a lot compared to the one obtained in the maze.

说明：西奥斯佩斯12岁时送给阿里阿德涅的礼物。攻击力：1D6+2；附加技：对非人型怪物伤害额外增加1D4。

Not bad for a novice weapon.

An Ge is very unbalanced, who is the protagonist?But thinking about how the other party has played the game three times, it seems to make sense again.

Yue Zimo enthusiastically added An Ge's friend to the game assistant, and explained to him: "Mobile phones cannot be used to communicate in the game, but if the house rules do not prohibit communication between players, you can use the game assistant Private chat with friends or set up temporary discussion groups."

An Ge fiddled with the phone, and saw a lonely Yizi added to the friend list, and the interface was also a plain gray window from the 386 era, without even an avatar, so he understood: "Low profile penguin."

The ID flashes, and the chat window pops out.

Yizi: Hug, kiss, hold high.jpg

An Ge: "...supports picture transmission, it seems that it's not that low-end."

Yizi: Xiaofafa is dedicated to you.jpg

Clay: ==

Thinking of the handsome and tall young man on the opposite side who only sent some obscene 2B emojis, An Ge realized the deep malice in this world.

Yue Zimo had so much fun that he didn't even eat braised pork, and he reluctantly put down his phone when the copper pot fish came. An Ge had long since wanted to look at a lot of obscene pictures in the chat window.

"By the way, Xianxian asked us to find a time to accompany her to buy makeup pencils. I rejected it for you. I said to give an address, bought it and mailed it to her, but I was scolded... Oh, forget it .In addition, she is also a freshman, but she is not from the same school as us. I don’t think she wants to talk about it, so I didn’t ask. Also, she didn’t get the reward for the third puzzle.”

What a stupid straight man, it's no wonder he doesn't get scolded.

An Ge slandered, listened carefully to the information he said later, and filled two bowls of fish soup, one for Yue Zimo, and the other for himself, "If this is the case... I probably understand a little bit, Ariadne The trap most likely refers to the spinning thread we met and the test of the tauren that Xianxian and the others met. Among the living people, we are the only ones who didn’t believe that statement and abandoned their companions. Xianxian and Liufenghuixue acquiesced Sazhio's behavior, so neither of them should have been rewarded."

That high school student is quite interesting, designing a game and conducting a test of human nature in an extreme environment. Although the technique is a bit blunt and clumsy, the moral cleanliness contained in it is "like a discipline committee member" to borrow an adjective from light novels.

"By the way," An Ge said as he remembered something important, "Did you hear what the statue said at the end? 'There are only three now', I seem to have heard such a sentence."

Yue Zimo held the bowl (the delicious fish soup served to me by Brother Clay himself!) with bright eyes, and shook his head blankly, "At that time, I only thought about you. It was a close call. The statue reminded me to go back before closing the door. You were almost locked out."

An Ge rubbed his temples with a headache, confirmed with Yue Zimo again that there were indeed four players who had cleared the game, and began to suspect that he had heard it wrong. "Then Liufenghuixue, can anyone contact me?"

Yue Zimo shook his head, "He seems to be a beginner too, he hasn't added friends, maybe..."

He hesitated to speak, but An Ge felt that he understood, and asked again, "Have you encountered the same player in the game so far?"

Yue Zimo continued to shake his head, "Oh, but! When I played the second game, I heard people say that you can use some props to select modules...then a group of players whose game time is synchronized can use props to select the same mod. At level six, you can buy items when the item shop in the app opens.”

An Ge only got 33 experience points and was promoted to a level. Now the experience bar shows 3/100, and there is still a distance as difficult as the Mariana Trench from level six.

So don't count on it for now.

After three game experiences, Yue Zimo is now Level 3, and he is also sighing at the prop shop.He ate the fish sadly, "If only I could go on an adventure with Clay..."

An Ge deeply believed that it would be great to have a reliable companion to face unpredictable dangers together.

Even he himself didn't realize that he had classified Yue Zimo as a "reliable companion".

After the two of them had dinner, Yue Zimo was still reluctant to part with him, but An Ge remembered the Red Dead Redemption 2 he had downloaded and hadn't opened yet, and he couldn't forget it as if it had been a lifetime ago.Anyway, there was nothing that could only be resolved face to face. After exchanging other SNS accounts with Yue Zimo, they each went back to school.

It was past four o'clock in the afternoon when An Ge returned to the dormitory, and there was no one in the dormitory.When he sat down, the first thing he did was turn on the computer. Although he had just downloaded the game a few hours ago, it felt as if a month had passed.

When the computer started, he checked Weibo and saw a video that had been forwarded more than 40 times.

It is roughly the following incident: In a well-known chain fast food restaurant in the Crystal Palace business center in Qidong, a customer who was dining suddenly made a scene, and the staff failed to stop it but had no choice but to call the police.The guest rushed out suddenly, rushed to the street, hit a sports car in the fast lane, and died on the spot.

In the video, the customer was filmed making noise in the store, going crazy and smashing things.

Nowadays, self-media is developed. Although it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, the advantage is that information is transmitted faster than in any era.And this piece of information, An Ge was able to confirm that it was true.

He carefully looked at the appearance of the dead man in the video, and it was indeed the man who smashed the door, scolded and split the group without authorization at the beginning. He even remembered that the man's ID was "keyboard の giant man".

In the video, this person even smashes things and kicks stools in exactly the same style as Keyboard Man.

The fast food restaurant is facing the street, and at the end of the video, the keyboard man rushed out of the gate, and then blurred, as if he was hit.

But it could also be psychological.

Suddenly the music of the phone rang, An Ge subconsciously shook his hands and threw the phone to the ground.

Only then did he realize that he was covered in cold sweat and his fingers were shaking so that he couldn't grasp things.

It was Yue Zimo who called, his voice was as gentle and warm as ever, he was so firm and calm, as if nothing could shake him.

"Brother An," Yue Zimo has already changed his words—it's just that An Ge's name is subtle, so he doesn't know if he is really called "Brother" or is he calling him by his first name or is he calling him a rabbit (Angolan long-haired rabbit), or a song? Brother is even more strange, An Ge felt that his parents gave him such a name as a curse that he would never be someone else's brother—"Have you...have you seen that video on Weibo?"

An Ge said, "I just saw... that, is it Keyboard Man?"

"It's him," Yue Zimo said, with a wry smile, "I thought I wouldn't know, so I didn't tell you, who would have known that Keyboard Man made such a big commotion in real life... But seeing how irritable he is in the game, it's true. It's not like someone who would die peacefully."

An Ge didn't know whether Yue Zimo was careless or cruel, although he almost agreed, "Then other people..."

Yue Zimo said softly: "Brother An, didn't we already know this? Don't think about it, it's useless. When they die in the game, they can't be saved."

An Ge felt that he was really useless, so he asked a child who was five or six years younger than him to comfort him. He slowly slid down from the computer chair, sat on the ground and curled up as hard as he could: "Why aren't you afraid..."

Yue Zimo probably scratched his head on the other end of the phone and smirked again, "Huh? Hahaha... Maybe I'm a little nervous? I'm scared but... life has to go on."

"Actually, I have a proposal." Yue Zimo continued without waiting for An Ge to speak, "My house happens to be near Jinsha Street, why don't we move there? I don't know how much we will have to deal with in the future Trouble, it's too troublesome to live with other people, it's better for us to live together so that we can take care of each other."

An Ge wanted to say that I don't know you well, but he couldn't open his mouth.

He seemed to be trapped in a terrible nightmare and couldn't wake up. The whole world knew nothing about it and treated it indifferently. The people who fell into the nightmare with him disappeared one by one, and they couldn't take care of themselves.Only Yue Zimo, just like his nickname Yizi, descended from the sky with gentle and white wings flapping behind his back.

Although it may sound unpromising, An Ge lacked love since she was a child, and she really yearned for this warmth almost greedily.

So when he opened his mouth, he was not polite at all: "I don't know how to cook."

Yue Zimo was overjoyed, "You agreed?? That's great! Don't worry, leave the cooking to me! I'm a good cook! I want to cook for you!"

So An Ge decided to live with Yue Zimo when he had known Yue Zimo for less than 6 hours (not including game time).

Although it is said that in the fast food era, the contact and disconnection of interpersonal relationships are extremely fast, but An Ge still feels that he may have set some kind of record.
