Starting from the pirates, the brain hole exploded

"You mean...let me play games with you?"

When Xia Jin stood in front of him and proposed the invitation quite excitedly, Luo An simply wondered if there was something wrong with the other party's mind. .

Luo An pointed at the computer in front of him. The blank word file on the screen was emitting a faint fluorescent light. He said angrily: "Xia Jin, do you have any misunderstandings about the profession of a full-time author? I am very busy. I don't have time." Let me accompany you to play this kind of thing!"

"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, this game was very popular ten years ago, you should still have an impression." Xia Jin didn't seem to be affected by his attitude, and still raised the poster in his hand with a smile, "It just came out a few days ago. The high-definition reset version was installed by a nearby coffee shop today, and the PC area is already overcrowded. I finally made a reservation, are you really not coming?"

"No." Luo An firmly refused without any hesitation: "I already owe twelve chapters. If I don't update, readers will chop me to death."

"Didn't you really like this game when you were in college?"

"It's different now. I'm an author and I have to be responsible for my readers!"

"Let's play for a while. It's the same thing if you come back later and write." This voice was full of bewitching power.

"Nonsense, am I such a self-controlled person? As long as I am deceived by you, I will stay up all night, and I am writing nonsense today."

At this point, Luo An smiled coldly and concluded righteously: "Okay, don't persuade me! I'm going to put my words here today. I, Luo An, will write until I die tonight, in front of the computer, being exploited by readers. Damn it, I won’t accompany you to play a game for even one minute!”

…………

10 minutes later, floating coffee.

"I don't have any medicine. Let's go first. If you have any basic glasses, help me bring them." Amidst the noisy voices, Luo An pressed the tab key, looked at the things in his backpack, and sighed sadly, "This one It’s too poor. If we hadn’t been delayed by those two old men, we could have searched for a while longer, but now we can only run away the poison first.”

"I can't help it. Who told you to jump to a place like this? Hurry up and drive first." Xia Jin, who was sitting next to him, looked at his equipment and was equally sad. "You are poisonous, Lao Luo. Every time I play games with you, We are all so poor, can you buy a bottle of facial cleanser tomorrow to whiten your face?"

"That's nonsense. It's obviously your shame..." Luo An was about to retort when the cell phone placed on the computer desk suddenly vibrated slightly and the screen lit up.

"Who's looking for you?" Xia Jin came over kindly.

"Who else can it be? Readers." Luo An didn't cover up either. What was displayed on his phone was the QQ reader group interface, where messages about him and reminders for updates kept popping up.

"Ha." Thinking of Luo An's sworn look 10 minutes ago, Xia Jin suppressed his desire to complain and clicked his tongue, "Let me see what you do."

"Simple."

At this time, Luo An's reaction was unexpectedly calm. He skillfully cut out the game on the computer, opened the author's backend, created a chapter, and then, under Xia Jin's disbelieving gaze, typed out a few big words:

Go out to collect materials and take a day off.

"It's done."

After successfully uploading the chapter, Luo An casually closed the page, then switched back to the game with a nonchalant expression and continued to run drugs.

"...Fuck!"

Xia Jin was so shocked that her earphones were tilted. She looked at Luo An with her eyes raised, and she was silent for a long time before she squeezed out a few words: "If I were your reader, I would have broken your legs long ago..."

"It's okay, they can't find me."

Still staring at the game screen, Luo An's face remained expressionless, but as the saying goes, a dog's mouth can't spit out ivory. These two simple sentences filled the air with a sense of shamelessness, making Xia Jindu, who was familiar with him, Pay attention to it.

If it is an ordinary author who asks for leave when he is owed updates, and the reason is to play games, no matter what, he will inevitably feel a little guilty and will most likely promise to make up for it in the future.

But Luo An...is not an ordinary person.

As an author with nine years of experience, Luo An devoted himself to full-time writing after graduating from college.Now 27 years old, he has already become famous in the industry and has a large number of fans beyond ordinary people's imagination.

However, unlike those supreme gods who established their godhood with terrifying data results, Luo An relied on updates...

Don’t get me wrong, the reliance on updates mentioned here does not mean that Luo An can update tens of thousands of words every day to stand out among lower-level authors. When Luo An first entered the industry, he did work hard to update for a period of time, but that was just for the sake of Quickly maintain full attendance...

Except for that period of time, his later updates became more and more touching. In the six years after graduating from college and becoming full-time, he wrote a total of three books, with a total of just over 200 million words of updates. This number seems to be a lot, but if you calculate it carefully, it is average. There are only [-] words in a month...

Therefore, he who has been ranked first in the blade list for a long time has inexplicably gained a reputation that is not much different from those at the top of the monthly ticket list...

Oh, by the way, Luo An's pen name is Luo Danyu, which is quite a poetic name, at least in his own opinion.

As for the so-called large number of die-hard fans...it is actually difficult to guess what mentality these guys who have been tricked by Luo An for several years have in mind as they continue to pursue books. Many people have speculated, and the final conclusion is that they want to wait until When Luo An accidentally exposed his address, the resentment accumulated for many years... finally found a way to pour out.

The angle of view is pulled back.

In the game, Luo An and Xia Jin finally entered the poisonous circle. As soon as they got out of the car, they were attacked by Voldemort who was lying on the ground. It stands to reason that the winning rate is very high when the number of people in this game is dominant, but it is probably because it is true. They hadn't played for a long time and had a lot of fun. The two of them were knocked down almost instantly and were humiliated.

The next few games ended similarly, or even worse. I took more than a dozen flights in less than an hour, which can be said to be very efficient.

"...the gaming experience is extremely poor."

After restarting the next game, Xia Jin sighed. For the first time, she began to doubt herself. Is it wise to call Luo An over to play an FPS game with her? She vaguely remembered that when this guy played CS with her, , but even a robot that only uses a pistol cannot defeat it.

Miss Xia was very sad for a moment, but she had no choice but to let Luo An grow up alone.

Speaking of the relationship between Luo An and Xia Jin, if you describe it one by one, it would be impossible to write a book at all. The two were born in the same small town and have been friends since they could remember things in the millennium. Later, in elementary school, junior high school and high school, they were all magically placed in the same class.

Later, they separated for a few years because they went to different universities. After graduation, they each looked for jobs in the city. Luo An finally rented a house in Xijing and settled down. He spent the night making skewers at a roadside stall because the next table drank beer. The sound of "ton" was too eye-catching. I looked up and was happy at the time. Oh, isn't this Xia Jin?

So in the next few years, both of them developed in the same city. Luo An, as mentioned, became an outrageous writer, while Xia Jin, who was born in a prestigious school, became a famous writer in the same city. The mainstream society is becoming more and more open-minded, and now he is the department head of a well-known domestic Internet company in Xijing.

However, this difference in status obviously has no impact on the profound friendship between the two. Of course, because this friendship is so deep, there is no idea of ​​becoming lovers at all between the two. They call each other brothers, and it’s already 2026, and they are still two senior singles.

Time passed by minute by minute, and it was eleven o'clock in the evening.

"No, I can't hold it anymore, I have to go back to sleep."

Xia Jin, who had been bewitching Luo An all night before, was now so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. After stretching, he left his seat and walked a few steps. Before leaving the box door, he turned his head again: "Are you following me?" Let’s go back together, or should we continue playing here by ourselves?”

"You are such a weakling." Luo An glanced at her with disdain, but without any hesitation in his movements, he paid and turned off his phone in one go. He also stood up and came to the door of the box.

"Oh, you're quite cooperative. Isn't it because I can't hold it anymore?"

"Aren't I here to accompany you?" Luo An replied lazily. The truth really made him guess. His eyelids were fighting now and he was really sleepy.

"I'm getting old now." Xia Jin said half-jokingly and half-emotionally, "I think I had no problem playing this game all night long for several days in college, but now I can't stand it late at night."

While they were talking, the two of them had already left the box door. When they passed through the lobby of the coffee PC area, a burst of exclamation suddenly came from the holographic area at the other end, causing most of the people in the coffee shop to look over.

Some people also joined in the fun and squeezed in, and from time to time the same exclamation came from:

"Damn it! It's so realistic!"

"It's exactly the same as reality. It's so real that it's scary!"

"Anyway, these three thousand dollars are worth it!"

…………

The movement was really scary. Xia Jin didn't take it seriously after hearing it. He grabbed Luo An's wrist and prepared to go out. However, Luo An, who had been staying at home and had some information problems, was confused and felt better. He couldn't help turning his head and asked. :"What's going on here?"

"What else, a new holographic game." Xia Jin shrugged, but also stopped, ""Old Year" is the latest game launched by the world's top game company Antel and several major domestic game manufacturers. This holographic game just started its internal testing at the beginning of this month. In just two or three days, it has already exploded in terms of popularity and reputation. It is said to be a disruptive work across the ages in the holographic game industry."

"So powerful?" Luo An was startled, "How come I haven't heard of it?"

"You don't pay attention to holographic tours, and you stay at home every day. It's rare to know."

Miss Xia rolled her eyes at him and explained, "The reason why it is so popular is, firstly, because the simulation technology of the old age is extremely high, which has completely broken through the bottleneck of previous holographic games' code rate and definition. Secondly, Due to the unique theme and content of the game, Antel has a lot of money and has obtained authorizations from a large number of game animation and even film and television production companies. He has compiled many once-popular works into scripts and integrated them into the game. Many people have found their almost forgotten childhood in it. Memory will naturally increase your favorability, and this is why the game is called 'Old Years'."

Luo An nodded in agreement when he heard the previous one. It has been almost ten years since the emergence of holographic games. The reason why he was not interested was because when he tried it out, he felt that the picture quality and plot were too rough, and the operation was extremely cumbersome, which made him find it troublesome. Give this a wide berth.

As for the rest, Luo An had to admit that after figuring out the selling point of this game, he was rarely moved: "It's interesting. How about we both buy a copy?"

"Are you willing to buy it?" Xia Jin glanced sideways at him with a smile.

"Of course, it's not three thousand..." Luo An hugged the back of his head with his hands. This was his habitual action when he said it didn't matter: "At worst, I will update more than ten chapters this month, and the royalties will be enough to buy..."

"Three thousand is the main body of the game."

As a result, Xia Jin laughed at her words as soon as she spoke, with a hint of slyness hidden in the corner of her eyes, "This game in the old year must be run with the latest game cabin produced by Antel Company. Don't count on those cheap products that are popular on the market. "

"...How much?" Luo Anxin had a bad premonition.

"Forty-eight thousand, this is the regular version. It seems that the market price of the deluxe version has exceeded [-]." Xia Jin's eyes were full of teasing, and he said with a sense of schadenfreude, "I forgot to tell you, I ordered it yesterday. It should arrive tomorrow. As for you...do you regret not updating it properly this year?"

"..."

Luo An's face turned green.
