Reiki

A game center in the east of the city.

Now everyone knows that the special game cabin of "Earth Warriors" is not only a virtual game, but also a "Super God Virtual Learning System", which stimulates nerves and cells through bioelectricity and develops the potential of life. It is the best entry-level training equipment .

Therefore, there are crowds of people at the entrance of each game center, and there are long queues, day and night, and it is very lively.

However, today, all the players waiting in line were not focused on the rows of game pods in the lobby, but couldn't help casting their scorching gazes at the two upgraded black game pods in the VIP room.

Looking at the word "Super God" on the game cabin, and the sense of future technology that is at least 20 years ahead of ordinary game cabins, all the players swallowed their saliva.

"Have you heard, this is the 'Super God II' produced by the most cutting-edge technology on the earth. When playing games, it will automatically inject a large amount of condensed gas containing psionic energy into the cabin, turning the game cabin into a small square. In the small 'Cave Heaven and Paradise', the player is soaked in the aura of the game, that feeling, tsk tsk tsk!" A "flower shirt" shook his head, showing off gossip.

"Of course I heard about it, and I also know that the learning efficiency of 'Super God II' is at least ten times higher than that of ordinary game cabins. An hour of virtual combat in 'Super God II' is worth as much as our normal game cabin." I really want to try it!" Another player, with a big bald head, looked at the "Super God II" with dense beads of sweat on his forehead.

"It's a good idea. This is a device specially designed for quasi-awakened people to practice. Only when the body and nerve index reach a certain strength can they log in. Otherwise, not to mention other shocks, just the pain feedback, the starting point is 100%, and the highest can reach 500% , being killed in a virtual battle is as painful as the real world, can you bear it?" The flowered shirt and the big bald head are old acquaintances, and they speak very casually, sneering nonchalantly.

"I can't bear it, but you can bear it?"

The big bald head muttered, "I really don't know why it is designed like this, the pain feedback is 500%? Abnormal!"

"You don't understand this. The so-called 'pain feedback' is actually the speed at which the 'virtual learning system' writes a large amount of information into your nerves. The higher the pain feedback, the faster the nerve information can be read and written. The learned skills The more, the deeper, the pain feedback is 500%, the learning efficiency is equivalent to five times that of the real world, and the strength is improved, it is crazy!" Hua Shirt said, almost spraying the words "envy, jealousy, hate" from the eyes come out.

"It would be great if I was also a quasi-awakened person, and I would be eligible to use the 'Super God II', so I don't have to queue up here." The bald man sighed.

The two are friends, and the flowery shirt can't just hit him blindly. He patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Then practice hard in the ordinary game cabin, and you can also develop your life potential. Although the speed is slower, it is better than safety and harmony." Stable, after accumulating a certain amount of game time, experience and points, you will be able to awaken naturally, and then you can upgrade to the "Super God II" to practice, and then break through many levels to become a real awakener, and you will have a lot of tickets , Xiangche beauties, and a super bright future are waiting for you!"

This is the path of cultivation and upgrading arranged by the alliance for ordinary citizens.

But it's not easy to do it. If you don't have any talent, even if you play for a thousand hours, you may not be able to awaken it.

Of course, no one will think that they have no talent, even if the chance of awakening is low, it will not prevent the players from being hopeful and dreaming.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the door, and the crowd parted naturally, and a man wearing a snakeskin coat with a dignified appearance stepped in.

"Brother Chong!"

Including the flowered shirt and the big bald head, most of the players' eyes lit up, and they greeted this man warmly.

Yang Chong, a professional player, has once shined in many e-sports competitions. When "Earth Warriors" just launched the public beta version, he entered it.

At his peak, he once reached the top five in the city's standings, and with his extraordinary talent and rich game experience, he awakened in virtual battles and was known as the "Lightning Spear God".

This game center is Yang Chong's home stadium. He has practiced virtual training here from the very beginning, and he has naturally become an idol in the hearts of many old players.

"Look, brother Chong walked towards the VIP room, he's going to the 'Super God II'!"

"Nonsense, brother Chong is a quasi-awakened person, of course he plays 'Super God II', do you still have to wait in line like you and me?"

"Chong, Brother Chong, can you open your virtual battle screen to the big screen outside later, and give us a chance to learn your amazing marksmanship?"

Everyone looked at Yang Chong with admiration in their eyes, and Yang Chong was used to being surrounded by everyone, smiling and nodding like a big star.

"Young Master Chong, I wish you great success in the Tianjiao Contest and sweep away thousands of troops!" A staff member took Yang Chong's awakening card with both hands, and swept towards the door of the VIP room, "Didi", the door opened.

The staff bowed slightly again, returning the awakening card with both hands.

As soon as Yang Chong entered, he entered a state of no distractions. Others could only see him getting into the "Super God II" from the floor-to-ceiling windows. The black hatch slowly closed, and once again they gave bursts of admiration.

"When will we be as majestic as Brother Chong, it's really worth dying for!" The floral shirt and the big bald head said in unison, sighing with emotion and sigh.

"Boss, turn on the computer."

At this moment, a slightly abrupt voice sounded from behind the crowd.

Many players were slightly taken aback, and couldn't help but want to laugh. What's the situation, this place is treated as an ordinary Internet cafe, and "turn on a machine", or how about making noodles by the way?

"Swish Swish Swish Swish!"

Everyone turned their heads, their eyes crossed, and they focused on a slightly shabby figure.

this person...

He has unkempt hair like a chicken coop, a pair of comically wide black sunglasses covering two-thirds of his face, and he is wearing a tattered cultural shirt. If you look carefully, hey, there is an advertisement for supermarket discounts on it , but the stains are mottled, they are almost washed off, the lower body is a pair of dirty cropped pants, and a pair of broken sneakers with holes in them, which are about to become sandals.

In one hand, he was carrying a huge plastic bag filled with the cheapest solid steamed buns. In the other hand, he was carrying two two-liter bottles of pure drinking water, which were also the cheapest. People who spent the night in Internet cafes often bought them, commonly known as "" "Big water" - the quality of this kind of water is very suspicious. Many people suspect that it is filled with tap water. It is not because they are too poor that no one will buy it.

In short, this person looked destitute and exhausted, probably really homeless, looking for an Internet cafe to stay up all night, or even staying in an Internet cafe for a long time.

"Our place is the 'Super God Game Center', not an ordinary Internet cafe."

The staff member who received Chao Yang just now came over with a good attitude, "The Internet cafe you are looking for is on the corner of the street."

"I know."

The man took out a solid steamed bun, gnawed off half of it in one bite, and said vaguely while chewing, "Turn on the machine."

"this……"

The smile of the staff was a little stiff, "If you also want to practice virtual practice, prepare your ID card and queue here. It is estimated that you will have to wait for one to two hours."

"so long?"

With the "Dashui" in his hand, the man pointed to the "Super God II" next to Yang Chong in the VIP room, "It's not that there is still one machine empty, that one is fine."

The staff's smile was completely frozen, and a drop of cold sweat gushed out from the temple: "Sorry, sir, these two game cabins are just introduced test models, and they are not open to the public."

"But someone went in just now." The man finished eating one steamed bun and grabbed the second one.

The staff had to maintain basic etiquette, and the players who regarded Yang Chong as their idol couldn't bear it any longer, and shouted and cursed one after another:

"Bastard, what are you, can you compare with Chong Ge?"

"Brother Chong can play, so can you? Brother Chong still wears tens of thousands of snakeskin coats, but I don't see you wearing them!"

"Idiot, that's the 'Super God II' specially designed for quasi-awakened people, with a minimum of 100% pain feedback, it will kill you!"

"Have you ever played "Earth Warriors"? Do you understand the situation? Do you really think this is an ordinary Internet cafe, and virtual training is an ordinary game? 'Super God II' can be played so casually, we have already entered Now, it's your turn again?"

"Honestly, line up at the back!"

Including the flowered shirt and the big bald head, many players booed one after another.

"I'm so sorry, sir."

The staff glanced at the big and round security guard from the corner of the eye, and kept smiling, "You need to swipe the 'awakening card' to enter the VIP room, and we can't just open the 'Super God II' casually, please don't embarrass us, you are still orderly Get in line, or check out the Internet cafe on the corner."

"Awakening card?"

The man tilted his head and thought for a while, put down the two bottles of "big water", and groped in his wrinkled trouser pocket for a long time. Amidst the laughter of the crowd, he found a faintly shining card that was exactly the same as Yang Chong's. , handed it over, "Oh, then you can brush it."
