doomsday beta

In 2029, the first month.

On the first day of the new year, at [-]:[-] Beijing time, the world's first holographic online game "Noah's Ark" exclusive game cabin was launched on Taobao, JD.com, Amazon, eBay and other well-known online shopping platforms at home and abroad, and the pre-sale started.

The product description states this:

"This is a sandbox game full of human nature, which can change and create the world with a high degree of freedom."

……

"Tsk, a rich man's game! Can you fucking imagine it? This shit actually costs 98888! It's about 0.7! Is the person who placed the order out of his mind? And sold [-] million units? The monthly sales volume is the highest It’s the first quarter of the Zhongqing mobile phone, why don’t you do charity with this spare money?! I dare say that the holographic online game is an annual scam!!!”

The long-term bumps in the back seat of the bus made the earplugs slightly loose.

The car was full of noise, and a noise was getting closer. The drowsy Fang Zhou opened his eyes and scanned the stop sign in front of him. It was a certain high school.

It was only a little half way back to the western suburbs from the city hospital, and it was still early when he arrived home. Seeing the source of the noise and his friend sitting beside him, Fang Zhou tightened his earplugs, turned over, and faced the window.

As early as half a year ago, the concept of holography only existed in literary works and human fantasy.Until an international science and technology exhibition, the little-known Chuangshi technology company was born, and it brought the exhibited work: the holographic experience cabin, and shocked the whole world with its immersive and high-fidelity realistic experience!It became a hot topic all over the world.

However, the authenticity of holographic technology is still controversial.

In recent years, major technology companies have carried out research on virtual reality technology. So far, the technology is still immature, and even experts are convincing: the current network environment and VR simulation technology are far from enough to support the era to enter the "holographic" threshold. To talk about creating a virtual world is to overestimate one's capabilities.

Want to say that an obscure company like Chuangshi Technology can develop large-scale holographic online games?

Not to mention netizens who have never been in contact with it, even those who have experienced the holographic cabin in person are not very convinced—after all, 7G+VR is not a new topic, and immersive panoramic experience projects have been frequently active in the news earlier.But panorama and holography are far apart, just like dynamic comics and animations. Only screenshots are compared, and too one-sided exposure is not enough to prove the strength of holography.

Therefore, even if the news reports have been overwhelming in the past six months, the public will only regard it as an exaggerated gimmick.

The bus starts up again, merging into off-duty traffic.

At the beginning of the night, the neon signs shine brightly and hang all over the street. Occasionally, a few logistics vehicles with holographic game advertisements will pass by with the words "[-]:[-] p.m. on February [-]st, the public beta is in full swing", which attracts the eyes of the boys next to them , The noisy criticism sounded again.

But he was interrupted by his friend, "Okay, rich people are not fools! To them, it is nothing to use 24 yuan to verify the authenticity of holographic technology! Anyway, the logistics is pretty good. Global Warehouse Unification faction The pieces will be delivered to the buyer within [-] hours, and the holographic system is only half as strong as the logistics system.”

"Hmph, what's the use of logistics alone? Technology is the last word!"

"Whether it is true or not, we will see tonight."

Today is a full month since the game cabin was launched, and the holographic online game "Noah's Ark", which has attracted the attention of people all over the world, is officially launched.

But Ark is not interested in all of this.

He came home at night, and just changed into his home clothes when the doorbell rang, and a strange face appeared on the visual screen, and the young man rubbed his hands in the howling wind, "Brother, open the door, There's your big piece."

Fang Zhou saw the words Genesis Logistics on his chest, "You pressed the wrong building number."

"No! It's you, brother, and there's still a letter!"

Seeing the envelope in front of the screen, Fang Zhou frowned, unlocked the door of the apartment building, and took the elevator up after a while.

"Brother, you are really reclusive in the suburbs! I delivered goods for a day, either in high-end villas, or apartment buildings in business districts, and at worst, you are still a demolition household in a village in the city. As for you, you are going to the wilderness Yes. When I first saw this address, I thought it was some unfinished ghost building! Fortunately, it’s a bit remote, but it’s quite quiet.”

The young man was a talkative person, lamenting that his wealth was not revealed, and he couldn't tell at all that he could spend [-] yuan to buy a cabin for fun. He waited to carry the half-person-high wooden box into the house, and asked where to install the ark?

Fang Zhou shook his head, indicating no need, took the letter, and sent the astonished courier brother away.

On the envelope, the recipient's information is still written in the font of Ark.

The sender's signature is still cryptic: another you.

Sending letters is a rather rare habit nowadays.

The first time I received it was half a year ago. I used Ark's handwriting to predict the whole process from the advent of holographic technology to the launch of the game cabin.At that time, he thought it was an alternative propaganda by the game party, and reported to the police because the handwriting was imitated.But it turned out that in fact, only he himself received the strange letter.

As the only case, comrades in the police were also given ideological work.

After all, apart from the predicted content, it does not contain any intimidation or threat, and there is no return address, so there is no way to explore it.The only plagiarized handwriting that is extremely frightening to think about carefully, and it is difficult to pursue responsibility.And also because of the handwriting, it looks more like a boring prank made by Fang Zhou himself.

After half a year of silence, this is the second time I have received a letter.

[To Ark:

When "Noah's Ark" is officially launched, the wheel of fate has turned. With a deep heart, I wish my 14 billion compatriots to survive this calamity...]

After reading the mysterious beginning, Fang Zhou caught a glimpse of the following content about the free game cabin for him to play, so he decisively crumpled up the letter paper and threw it into the trash can.

Then push the unopened wooden box into the corner of the utility room.

The next day, Fang Zhou, who was in low spirits, was woken up early in the morning by notification sounds pushed by various apps.

He turned off the phone to block the disturbance from the outside world, and went to the study to rush to design the last order of this year.

When the work at hand is finished, the time has entered the eighth.

Fang Zhou wakes up early in the morning, turns on his phone, and the news accumulated for several days pours in crazily. It is full of holographic experiences that are active on Moments, forums, post bars, Weibo and other platforms like mushrooms after rain.The players showed up and said, as soon as they caught their eyes, they complained about the 360-degree "Noah's Ark" with no dead ends.

For example, a netizen posted a circle of friends of Gao Wan:

In the past, the game boss who posted his achievements every day and looked down at the chickens, has been regularly updating the Seven Questions of Life emoji pack for a week—Who am I?where am I?Where am I going?What's next?Why am I sitting here?Do you want to sit all the time?What is the meaning of life?Facing the problems surrounded from all directions, the dazed and innocent baby sat there alone, lost in thought...

Someone at the bottom asked: Why do you always post this picture?

The boss replied: Ever since I entered the pit of "Noah's Ark", I feel that every sentence in this picture fits my mood at all times.

For example, Richie's extremely long post title on a forum:

"It's the first time my mother has seen such a bad online game!The imaginary holographic online game should not be to wear an extremely coquettish screen name, wear a template of handsome men and beautiful women, and wear gorgeous and changeable fashions to fight in the killing field!Across the field of love!Are you happy? !Who the hell tell me where to enter the name of the game?Where is the place to pinch the face to choose the body?Where is the game operation task guide?Where is the NPC with the small question mark bubble?who I am?where am I? ! ! "

For example, a discussion post in the post bar of an e-sports team:

Main Building: Never seen such a difficult game!Very difficult!I just want to know that this game has an exceptionally dreamy, realistic and impeccable holographic scene besides the background board. Is there any NPC, and is there a quest line?The boundary line prompts that you cannot leave the village if you have not reached the eighth level!Who can tell me how to gain experience?It's been a week, and I'm still at level zero. I'm so sorry for my glory gold rank!

Reply below:

"Don't even think about it! Noble Platinum is still at level zero!"

"Don't even think about it! Eternal Diamond is still mixed with level zero!"

"Don't think about it! The strongest king is still at level zero!"

……

"Isn't there always been rumors that the Nokia team is going to fight in "Noah's Ark", what level is my Nuo Shen?"

"Level [-], leaderboard for guiding masters."

"Huh? Isn't the first one named Jiang Xun?"

"Your real name, you idiot! You can't even lose your name, and you still expect to get a game name? Nuo Fan, who doesn't know that Nuo Shen is the eldest son of the Jiang family of Zhongqing Group! A real rich man."

For example, the Weibo account of a well-known Internet writer who is on the writer's wealth list:

Texture comparison:

[The panel you thought would look like this: game character name, race, occupation, level, intelligence, agility, attack, defense, etc...]

[In fact, your character panel is like this: name, gender, ethnicity, date of birth, life notes, specialties, likes and dislikes...]

And left a message: "Who can tell me why this perverted game even has to record the color of my underwear?!!!"

Netizens turned a blind eye to his tragic, indignant inner world, and expressed delightedly:

"Wow! It turns out that you like wearing red underwear! Such a coquettish setting!"

"...It's really hard to imagine that the big man who has been slapping his feet is actually a little public opinion who likes to play with BJD dolls? He also loves boys...I seem to have discovered some secret by accident. So, There is a reason why your male lead has never been promiscuous, whoring, or studs, and opened a harem, but is only keen to worship brothers and accept younger brothers, and hand in hand with good friends to fight for world hegemony!"

"I must be crazy to post such self-exposing screenshots!"

This newly released holographic online game was instantly shattered in the eyes of onlookers.

Its complaints are complicated and numerous.

Its description is magnificent.

It's hard to sum it up in one word.

Like a holographic online attraction, the operation is all based on exploration, and the gameplay is still unknown.Many colleagues, experts, people who eat melons, and netizens who eat soil can no longer hold back their clamoring keyboards!Prepare to rush to the highest point of morality and reprimand Fang Qiu.

When Ark ordered a takeaway, the game promotion draft that was pushed in real time seemed to wake up to a well-dressed literati, and Shi Shiran popped up:

"Noah's Ark" has been on the market for a week, with more than [-] million registered users worldwide, and the expansion system will be opened soon, so stay tuned! "

If you ask: What makes players so attached to "Noah's Ark"?

Players will definitely answer: It is my last stubbornness and strength!Then he continued to walk through every street in Xinshou Village in the bitter wind and rain, tearing open every corner, and even the reptiles passing by couldn't help but take a few more glances to see if there were any unexpected discoveries?

Tsk!Human, your alias is duplicity!

It is conceivable that a wave of kidney selling is about to come.
