Chapter 26 Unworthy
After get off work, accompanied by the bustling and familiar street scene, Zhang Li walked into the 'Duan Bar' he often visited.

Zhang Li likes to play games in 'Duanba', definitely not because he is a bachelor, and it is too lonely to be alone at home.

He just simply liked the atmosphere here.

The equipment in the terminal bar is somewhat different from the home equipment. The former is generally not equipped with motion suits. Most of them only have a sensory helmet device, and the upper limit of the real motion sense is also locked at 95%.

Entering the terminal bar, you can often see dozens of people sitting on large and small sofas, wearing mushroom-shaped light helmets on their heads, with iced drinks and delicious fruit plates in their hands, and some people laugh out loud from time to time. Or burst out a few vulgar words.

There will be some gray industries in some end bars.

Two separately linked, unique scene settings, modified sensory helmets, a 'waiter' who provides special services and consumers wear the helmets at the same time, so that the brain can have a happy time without any physical contact maintenance experience.

Of course, that type of bar is usually opened in a remote corner, and the overall layout is so ambiguous.

Zhang Li stood at the bar counter at the front door, looking at the serious side bar covered with soft light.

"Brother Zhang, do you want a fruit plate today?"

The waiter standing at the bar asked with a smile.

"No, have a glass of orange juice and remove the ice."

Zhang Li withdrew his gaze from looking around, took the card handed over by the waiter, and walked towards the empty seat in the distance.

The sofas are placed in random places, and some shelters will be placed on the side to create a private environment.

Zhang Li chose a double seat in the middle, took off his coat and tie, and inserted the card into the helmet hanging on the side, and the helmet was successfully activated.

A girl wearing a short skirt floated over on roller skates, placed a glass of juice on the round table in Zhang Li's hand, and complained:
"Brother Zhang! What about the dagger you said you wanted to make for me? I have prepared the materials for a long time!"

——She refers to the props in the game.

"It's not free yet," Zhang Li replied with a smile, "Tomorrow, I'm free tomorrow, I will definitely call for you."

"A man's mouth, slightly!"

The girl pulled her eyelids with her fingers and made a grimace, threw off her two slender legs, and floated on a pulley to the bar not far away.

Naturally, Zhang Li wouldn't stare at young girls too much. He is over 40, financially independent and successful in his career. It would be bad to be treated as a pervert.

The light strip around the edge of the helmet has been fully lit, and the light green light shines on Zhang Li's face.

He sank into the sofa with his helmet in his arms.

The support module hidden in the sofa adjusts itself according to Zhang Li's weight and body shape, and supports Zhang Li's body precisely.

Inexplicably, Zhang Li hugged his helmet in silence for a while, and his eyes stopped on the small display screen on the top of the helmet.

Every move you make in the game can be seen by others through this display.

At this moment, the display screen is still on the standby page, showing a quarter of an hour.

Gently stroking the silver-white numbers with his thumb, Zhang Li smiled, pulled himself together, put on the perception helmet and entered the login interface.

The surrounding world became dark, and there seemed to be a faint light in the darkness, and a fork in the road appeared in front of his eyes.

The wooden door directly in front of him was his last option - to enter Dawn Street.

Zhang Li turned his head and turned to the simple wooden door engraved with the word "Al", pushed open the wooden door and walked in.

Warm orange light rushed towards his face, and he was already in a neat and spacious wooden house.

This is his home in this game world, and it is also his own safe spot.

Leaving this wooden house, a bustling small town full of medieval European elements in the Earth Era appeared in front of Zhang Li, and the sound of "ding, ding, ding" was clear and sweet.

Zhang Li showed a faint smile and glanced across the street.

A beautiful young girl with a delicate figure, wearing an exquisite satin robe and carrying a gorgeous magic wand, is busy helping the street vendors to carry honey.

In the tavern diagonally across from the wooden house, several hot female waitresses were contemptuously looking at several burly but tattered strong men; after these strong men threw out a bag of currency, they immediately Showed a warm smile.

In the far corner of the street, several little beggars pouted their buttocks and put their heads together, counting the valuable items in a brand new leather bag;
Follow the stones that have been polished and smooth by the soles of the shoes on the ground, let the sight spread towards the farther horizon at will, leave this small town that is used as the caravan's foothold, and pass by the endless fields full of wheat and grape trellises , you can see the golden-roofed castle standing on the top of the mountain, and the bustling main city that wraps the entire conical mountain.

Magic, knights, dragons, dragon slayers, such traditional western fantasy games will always have a place in the player community.

Today's home planet, or any administrative planet, has countless black box game worlds running at the same time. The black box world has already been subdivided under the guidance of the market, and most of the games are "small categories". .

Due to changes in the landform of the home planet, deep environmental pollution, etc., there are not many areas where cities can be built, and the permanent population is only one-tenth of the peak population in the Earth Era.

Therefore, in today's black box game world, 10 people can be online at the same time, which is considered a masterpiece.

This black box game called "Eyre" belongs to the ranks of masterpieces.

One of its selling points is that the player has no obvious menu interface, and it is impossible to distinguish the player from the native characters of the world at a glance.

Of course, it is not difficult to distinguish players from these virtual characters due to their fancy dress and cultural elements brought into the world from the outside.

"Sean! You slept in late again today! How come you didn't get up until now!"

The uncle in the blacksmith shop next door was yelling loudly.

"A lot of sleep is a beautiful thing."

'Sean' Zhang Li replied calmly, naturally he would not explain, since he went home to sleep in the game world, he was waking up and moving in the real world.

He pulled out a simple wooden staff from behind the door, and hung his beloved small hammer on his waist. ——This kind of dress can make his combat profession full of confusion.

"Praise the goddess," Zhang Li stretched his waist, and rushed towards the 'old place' at the entrance of the town.

Zhang Li has his own regular teammates.

They form a team of 12 people, and there is a fixed three-hour group activity time every day. As long as 12 people can make up eight or nine people online, they can handle most of the rewards and tasks in this game.

There is no dialog box in "Air", and the player's communication privilege is a spirit-shaped owl.

Zhang Li counted the time and realized that he was a little late. He stepped up the frequency with his deerskin boots, turned around the main street, and soon saw the bustling square at the entrance of the town.

"Uncle!"

A young girl with ponytails, brandishing a spiked mace, is shouting with joy.

Zhang Li responded calmly by waving his hand. Seeing that the team had almost assembled, he picked up his wand and pointed it forward. His figure flickered and he appeared ten meters away.

The slight dizziness when casting space magic is so intoxicating.

The teammates greeted warmly:

"Uncle is still on time today as usual."

"Uncle, do you have enough magical potions? The leader has taken on three big tasks today! We won't work until the early morning tonight, so we probably won't be able to get off the assembly line."

"Let me just say, two large tasks can get full daily rewards, why do you have to embarrass yourself, everyone should relax, right?"

"Fatty man, do you want to go offline and date your artificial mentally retarded? Accompany me to hunt demons tonight!"

Laughter, noise.

Looking at the all-too-familiar scenes in front of him, Zhang Li was inadvertently lost in thought.

Soon, Zhang Li smiled and walked behind several soldiers, chatting with two middle-aged men and women of the same age in the team.

This is a couple whose love life is filled with fun by a shared love of gaming.

"Uncle!"

The girl with twin ponytails and leather skirt jumped over, giggled at Zhang Li, held the oaken shield in her hand, and said flamboyantly:

"My level has already caught up with you! The equipment score has also passed! The team leader said, I will be in charge of making your shield today! Your life is in our hands, so please say something nice!"

Her face covered with a little pollen still carried a little childishness just out of school.

Zhang Li shrugged helplessly and shook his head: "When I'm chanting the long mantra, remember not to rush too far, and leave me a backup at any time."

"Okay, don't worry!"

She patted her chest, the knight's chain mail thumped, and said proudly: "Our high-level assessment of the Temple of War, the results are top-notch!"

"Take these medicines."

Zhang Li pulled out a big package from his narrow sleeve, and threw it into the girl's hand, "It's enough for you for half a month."

"Wow - there is also a high-level toughness potion!"

The girl was amazed, and winked at Zhang Li: "Uncle, are you showing affection to me? I have been single for two years."

"You called it love before?"

Zhang Li rolled his eyes, and just about to complain about her, the team initiator had already called them to gather.

The girl was not annoyed when she was murdered, she moved up with her shield, and began to stick to her mission, standing by Zhang Li, a 'fragile' man every step of the way.

Their first task is to escort the caravan.

The game world does not generate real fatigue.

A group of nine people, accompanied by more than a dozen NPC mercenaries, set off from the small town, escorted a few yaks full of goods, and rushed towards the main city in the distance.

Look at the mountains near, travel far.

For this kind of escort mission, they usually encounter three to five attacks. The strength of the attackers is not necessarily the same. They may be players or virtual characters. The location of the ambush is more or less the same.

Of course, if they are lucky, they will be able to complete the escort mission perfectly without any trouble.

The caravan had its own vigilante, a slender woman who was hovering in the sky on a huge bald eagle.

When you just leave the town, you usually don't get attacked, and your teammates start chatting, and the topic can't avoid the "Murder on Dawn Street" that has just been hot for a long time.

"That Detective Wang Ze is so handsome, have you watched his live broadcast? He is currently collecting clues."

"It's an old game from more than 20 years ago. Who can remember it so clearly? I think they are collecting clues for nothing."

"What the hell happened on Dawn Street?"

"It should be Wei Xing's opponent who wants to engage in Wei Xing. Wei Xing has been standing on the home planet for so many years. There must be people in this market who are jealous. However, it is really too much to cause a murder case."

"There is also the hijacking case of the Skyrail train before. If it is said that no one planned it behind it, I would not believe it."

"Is Weixing doing too many crimes? This kind of company should go bankrupt. Now the game market has been ruined. The player group of our home planet, the income is not slipping, and the spending is No. 1!"

"Didn't Detective Wang Ze come from the sixth star cluster? Tell me, if we go there, what are the chances of meeting Detective Wang Ze by chance?"

"anthomaniac."

"Wake up."

"You have a husband."

"Your children have reached the legal minimum age to enter the game world!"

"Hmph, disgusting!"

The buxom therapist stamped his feet angrily, and a group of teammates roared with laughter.

Zhang Li was at the back of the line, watching these guys fight with a smile, the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, but his smile was tinged with a little loneliness.

"Uncle, uncle?"

The girl's head leaned over from the side.

"what happened?"

"Aren't you happy?" the girl asked in a low voice. "Is there something bothering you at work? You can share anything with me. I can comfort people."

Zhang Li shook his head with a smile, and didn't say much, as if deliberately avoiding her, he took two steps aside.

The girl puffed her mouth and walked beside her with an oaken shield.

She was more or less frustrated, so that she drooped her head, a little depressed.

"Hey! Old Zhang!"

The teammate on the side bumped Zhang Li with an elbow, turned on the privacy mode, and muttered softly:
"What's the matter with you, Miss Ren ran two games in order to chase you, and leveled up by herself for two months, is your heart really made of stone?"

Zhang Li frowned, looked at his old friend, and said with a smile, "Forget it, I don't deserve it."

"Why don't you deserve it? You have a stable job, a car, and a house. I'm afraid you're getting old... By the way, haven't you played Genesis Titan? I've heard you mention it before, have you read the news recently? ?”

"I've played it before, but I can't remember it."

Zhang Li replied with a smile, and continued on his way.

There is still about an hour and a half;

During that time period, it is best for me to be in the lively main city of the game, or in the square of the small town;

Let's leave the team later.

I just said that I was not feeling well and had to go offline. Fortunately, this game does not have a friend system...

call out--

Suddenly, a harsh wooden whistle sounded overhead.

The bald eagle flapped its wings vigorously and made a piercing call to the northwest.

This is a safe zone, and it stands to reason that you will not encounter bandits or monsters.

The nine people in the team and the dozen or so NPC guards looked to the northwest at the same time, and immediately caught the trace of the enemy.

Those guards who were born and bred in this virtual world pulled out their weapons without any hesitation, and a small team quickly moved towards the northwest.

But these nine 'players' who came from the material world and have complete cognitive concepts, are all stunned at the moment.

a strange black mist;

A figure emerged from the black mist...

"ghost!"

"The ghost of Li, Liming Street Murder!"

"He... why is he here?"

Zhang Li was obviously taken aback, but soon panicked, pushed the two people beside him away, turned around and ran towards the town.

The figure took a step forward, twisted and flickered, and appeared a hundred meters away in an instant, standing in front of Zhang Li.

The black figure slowly raised his head, revealing the face covered with carrion, and a pair of dark eyes flickering slightly.

The piercing voice, like a knife cutting glass, fell into the ears of everyone here:

"Autumn love and picturesque."

Hei Ying raised his left hand, and from a distance of more than three meters, he seemed to grasp Zhang Li's collar, and slowly lifted Zhang Li off the ground.

"Don't! Don't kill me!"

Zhang Li blushed and struggled desperately.

"Who are you... who the hell are you! How could you know what happened back then! It's obviously impossible for anyone to know!"

"Uncle!"

Suddenly there was an anxious cry from the side.

The young girl raised the oaken shield, activated the protection without hesitation, and rushed towards Zhang Li with a series of afterimages.

"You are the second."

Hei Ying clenched his left hand slightly, and a horrible blood hole exploded in Zhang Li's chest.

When the blood splashed on the girl's face, it was sticky and hot.
