doomsday beta

The drive is not very long.

But enough for Ark to figure out how the game works.

The default is to complete commands through voice and gestures. You can also customize settings, recognize mouth shapes, and even judge commands such as ECG and EEG fluctuations. The last one is similar to the idea control in fantasy literature, and only uses the brain to call out. Strongly refer to the diagram.

Ark calls out the player panel, which is only visible to you by default. The floating window is like a binder for browsing, and you can also stitch windows [-], [-], [-], and [-] into the same plane according to your habits.

After Fang Zhou finished reading the resume on the first page, he recorded the important events in his life in just twenty years from losing his mother and father, to being adopted by his grandfather when he was young, to being confessed by a male classmate surnamed Jiang in high school, and finally sending his grandfather away in college. The buffer zone has been passed.

The red flag car drove in from the east end of the village and stopped at the central square.

Open the map, the outline of the village is generally the same as the shape of the Dongshi area, and the location of the coordinate red dot is displayed as: Fable Village.

The architectural style is European style, with childlike shapes and bold colors.

The streets facing the square are like fan-shaped gradient ribbons, from east to west, from white to black, with intervals of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple across the north and south, wide and narrow streets and streets, alleys and alleys intertwined , as intricate as a spider's web, constructing the commercial circle of Xinshou Village.

Since the game does not limit the age of players, there are sporadic children from wealthy families following their elders, running on the brightly colored streets, playing and playing.

The car door opened, and the bright sky scrambled to squeeze into the car, turning the reality day and night upside down.

The cold wind was blowing head-on, making the ark shiver with cold.

It's winter in the game.

Fang Zhou wrapped up in his pajamas and went sightseeing around the village.

A round card is hung at the street entrance, and the cartoon animal images drawn on the card echo the color of the street.

Passing through a white sheep street, turning another alley, and then passing a golden lion street, Fang Zhou couldn't help rubbing his hands, and the chill went straight down his neck.

He looked left and right, and there were many shops along the street. Although the shop signs were full of blurred words, they were all painted with signs similar to cups, bowls, chopsticks, wine bottles, restaurants, teahouses, game halls, etc., but unfortunately none of them were there. Open for business, there is nowhere to escape the cold.

There are many players like him wandering around in the streets and alleys, passing by Fang Zhou bitterly, looking at the shops beside the road.

But even if it is hopeless, the doors and windows of the shops that do not even post a shop opening notice are still closed, and the players are coldly rejected.The whole village seems to have not woken up, and there are no traces of villagers' activities.But in fact, the sun in the game has risen above the head, looking down on the players from a high position.

"Damn it! Is there an open shop in the entire Xinshou Village?"

"Don't talk about the store, I'll count you as amazing if you can find a suspected NPC!"

A few wealthy families gathered at the street to complain:

"...From the launch to the present, I have walked around the [-] or so stores in Xinshou Village for three full laps, and I haven't even seen a single NPC! I finally found a suspected street sweeper. I'm so excited! I can't help it! Hurry up and grab him, for fear of running away, the result? For a long time, he is also a player who can't find a clue like a headless chicken, so idle! Give up! I don't want to give up! I can only squat in the corner and pull weeds!"

"I'm so confused! Don't shops need to be open in the game? Is it that NPCs don't have to work? Or is there no fine for absenteeism? This will be put in my dad's company, and they will sell their underwear if they are fined!"

"Don't talk about these things. Since I opened the account last night, I have mobilized department employees to complain to Chuangshi Company no less than a hundred times, but there is no response at all! I am so angry——" The speaker gasped .

All friends asked one after another: "...Don't play anymore?"

The speaker slapped his thigh, "Hey! I got into it!"

The friends all "cut" together, and you looked at me, and I looked at you.

"... Sigh, what a game full of humanity! This fucking design is inhumane everywhere! Half a month after the server was launched, 90.00% of the players at [-] are still hovering at level zero! Don't talk about finding NPCs to pick up quests , I don’t even see the monsters that can only be fought! It would be great if there is a power leveling studio or something..."

"One cabin costs [-] yuan, how many studios have the guts to spend the cost? Another real-name login blocks the road to leveling, and now we can only hope that there will be no high-playing clients to bring gold groups."

"Don't think about it, just look at Nuo Shen, who is an invincible player on the international e-sports stage. He quickly climbed to the top of the leaderboard as soon as he came, and his dominance was unshakable. What happened? He only climbed to the third level—the third level! What? Concept! You can’t even get out of Novice Village!”

"Then it's level three anyway! Isn't Nuoshen from Zhongqing Jiang's family? We are in the same circle with us anyway, whoever has a relationship with you can help recommend referrals, and let the professors teach you how to increase experience points."

"My brother does know his younger brother. He is studying abroad for a Ph. D. He looks like a young talent. I met him in a game before, and I got goosebumps when I accidentally caught his eyes. He is completely different from us. Nuoshen is the eldest son. I heard that he attended No. [-] Middle School in our city before he went to study abroad. That is the most important point! Maybe it is even more difficult than his younger brother! He has been staying abroad and has little contact with him, so why not? One circle?"

"Wait for a dead circle! Nuoshen High School is a problem boy. He smokes and skips classes to play games. He always dominates the bottom three in his grade. Or he is a good son of a technology giant who runs to play e-sports. Instead, he is a younger brother while studying While working on a project, you seem to be ready to inherit the family business?" The speaker suddenly lowered his voice, "You don't know, I heard his high school classmates accidentally leaked words at the wine bureau, but Nuoshen was punished for confessing to a male classmate. I had to send it abroad because it was widely known, and I didn’t graduate from high school at the age of sixteen or seventeen. I don’t know the language and I don’t know the place…”

"Tsk, so explosive?!" The young guys got off topic while chatting.

Fang Zhou paused slightly, then passed through the group of people as if nothing had happened, and continued to visit the village buildings.

After walking about a dozen streets and alleys, when they came to Crow Street at the end of the village where there were few players, Fang Zhou's teeth chattered and he was freezing.

He walked out of the cramped and dark narrow street and turned into the long dark street next to it.

The howling wind lingered between the two rows of shops, making the corners of the clothes rattle.

Wrapped tightly in his pajamas, he passed by. The noise in front of him was getting closer and closer. The three men and women who were walking towards him seemed to be arguing all the way. , causing others to retreat one after another.

Fang Zhou frowned, not wanting to stir up trouble with others, avoided the three of them and left the dusty street, and just passed under the Langtou street sign, when his shoulder was suddenly patted by a hand that stretched over from a slant.

"Hey! Dude! You look smart! I just saw that you have been observing the streets and alleys for so long, did you find something?"

Fang Zhou turned his head, and what caught his eyes was a yellow-haired boy wrapped himself into a ball, holding grass in his mouth, and was about to say something, when the wolf card above his head seemed to be electrified suddenly, and the neon flashed in a circle, and the whole gray street suddenly became white Dazuo, enveloping all five people on the street.

"Damn it! A mission has been triggered?!"

The rich kids who were wandering not far away suddenly looked up and saw them rushing towards the street, as if blocked by some invisible wall, they fell to the ground one after another due to the reaction force, their eyes passed through the white light, and they stood at a distance of two feet. The two people under the street sign faced each other more than ten eyes.

Mainly looking at the yellow-haired boy who was stunned and hadn't reacted yet, Fang Zhou had already lowered his head, looking at the extra electronic bracelet on his left wrist.

A store in Gray Street suddenly turned on the lights, and the two blocks next to the teacup logo on the store's sign were still mosaic.

The teahouse opened the door, and a person walked out, calling the three men and women in the street, "Stop arguing, come and drink tea, and put out the fire!"

The shopkeeper, who was suspected of being an NPC, first welcomed the three of them, then gave a sideways glance at the two Fang Zhou at the street corner, and reluctantly said: "Still standing there stupidly? You two also come to quench your thirst! It's so hot at noon, I really don't want to open the door!"

The yellow-haired guy with his teeth trembling in the cold wind looked at the shopkeeper who opened his eyes and told nonsense, he scratched his face belatedly, and looked down at his left wrist, the grass in his mouth fell off!

I saw the bright writing on the electronic bracelet:

[Congratulations to the player, trigger the hidden mission "Wolf is Coming"! 】

[Please find the liar within eight hours. 】

[Mission begins! 】

The ever-decreasing remaining time display:

【07:59:47】

Under the envious eyes of the wealthy children, Fang Zhou walked into the teahouse under the white light that gradually faded away.

When everyone was present, the two doors slammed shut with a "bang!"

The white light dissipated, and the street returned to its original gray appearance.

A group of rich men outside the street tentatively touched it, their hands crossed the intersection and almost shifted their center of gravity, and they fell into the street.They rushed to the door of the teahouse, "Papa papa!" There was a burst of clapping, as if they couldn't hear it inside, and the door was still indifferently closed in response.

The rich boys looked at each other.

"Is there a mission here?"

"How did it trigger?"

"I do not know!!!"

……

As soon as you enter the door, you can see that the interior of the teahouse is different from the childlike European appearance. The decoration is very antique Chinese style, and the appearance of the teahouse is quite confusing.

The teahouse is not big, and there are two or three private rooms on the left and right sides of the corridor. The hustle and bustle is coming, and the voices of people can't be stopped through the door. sharp contrast.It's just that the noisy human voices have been blurred. I only know that there are many people making noise, but they can't hear the content clearly.

The store led five people to receive the private room number at the front desk, and asked the waiter to lead the way.

After entering the innermost private room A3, the waiter motioned everyone to sit down and poured tea for the five of them.

The two men and one woman who had the quarrel were far apart, and looked at each other coldly. They couldn't suppress their anger even after drinking a cup of chrysanthemum tea. Among them, the dark and thin young man slammed the table, causing the lid of the teacup to jump off.

The yellow-haired boy trembled all over, and raised his head tremblingly.

Fang Zhou glanced around, looking at the man's hand clapping the table.

His eyes moved up a few inches, his eyes darkened slightly, and then he retracted his gaze.

The thin man yelled loudly, "Come on, let the waiter judge you, what does this have to do with me?!"

"Huh!" Sitting in the opposite corner, the middle-aged man with a round belly and bald head sneered, and said, "I'd like to hear how the delivery man delivered it so that he was panting and sweating and came in disheveled." My wife's bedroom?"

"I'm wronged! You said that I have an old child and a young child. It is not easy to support a family. My wife is pregnant with a second child and is waiting for delivery at home. The burden of the whole family is on me. The wind and rain come and go."

The skinny man looked sad, frowning and complaining:

"It's not easy to be a delivery man now. What kind of strange things can't be met? If you complain, you will be fined hundreds of dollars, but if you don't need it, you have to be a god! It's common to bring some cigarettes and wine to help take out the trash! You My wife is also a frequent customer. It’s not easy for a woman to be at home, and you are always on business trips. Why can’t I go into the house and bedroom if I help fix the faucet and change the light bulb! The clothes were made by hitting the wall at night without seeing the road clearly. I rushed to the delivery time and didn't even tidy up, so I got up and ran upstairs! Panting and sweating, it's not that your house is on the sixth floor, and I was tired from running up!"

The thin man shuffled his chest, "Look at me, I haven't recovered yet!"

"You know that I'm always on business trips, and I often chat with my wife in the middle of the night."

The bald man snorted, and squinted at the middle-aged woman with a distressed expression.

"When I went on a blind date, you said that you graduated from a chef technical school and loved cooking the most in your life. I would marry you, a woman who has no car, no house, no education, and no good looks. It's just because you are virtuous, gentle and kind at home. I also want Listen, why do you suddenly not like to cook when I am on a business trip, and order supper every day to go to the bedroom?"

"...I didn't say I like cooking to impress you."

The middle-aged woman made a weak voice, "The oil fume and the dish soap hurt the skin! Is it easy for me to serve you three meals a day when you are at home? Why would I be a sinner if I want to take a break and order takeaway when you are at home?" ?! What’s the point of chatting with my little brother after ordering takeaway? My light bulb is broken and I can’t reach it. Why can’t I enter the house because I’m tall enough to help you settle down? After all, I just want to save you some money and find someone Free labor to enslave..."

After that, he covered his face and cried, "You still doubt me?! I still want to doubt you!"

"Jiantian is on a business trip. Is marrying a wife a decoration at home? I can't sleep for ten days a year, and my mother urges the children to make me humble! It's not right for me to be in front of my mother and the feudal old lady. My little maid, who dare not answer a word, lives aggrieved and has never seen you speak for me? When I come back every day, I would rather play with my mobile phone than chat with me, and I always think that I have no common language with you. You On the contrary, I have a common language with your male boss. We chat at work and in the bed after work, and we are so tired that we don’t know and think he is your wife. I have long suspected that you are a high-achieving student with a car and a house. Marry me, do you think I'm easy to cheat, tell me!"

Caught off guard by the conversation, the bald man's eyes flustered, and he quickly poured tea to calm himself down, "What are you thinking about all day when you're idle? I'm not talking to my boss for promotion and salary increase. In the final analysis, I want to earn money to support my family." For you. Which wife has such leisure as you? No need to work or take care of children, eat, drink and make facial masks all day long. I spent so many colorful gifts to marry you, eat and drink, and take care of me. If the cost is so high, it’s not for having a family. What are you drawing?"

The middle-aged woman withdrew her tears and looked at her coldly, "I'm trying to save face! If a man is too old to marry, he either has a problem with his sexual function or has a problem with his sexual orientation! You are cheating on the marriage! Bullying me to be honest!"

The bald man sneered, "Are you honest?! Honestly, can you hook up with the delivery guy Gogou?"

The skinny man couldn't help but say, "Hey, don't involve outsiders in the quarrel between husband and wife. I have a wife and children who love my job and work hard, so it has nothing to do with me..."

Seeing that the three started to quarrel again, the waiter smoothed things over and made peace.

But people can't make peace when they are angry.

The three of them rubbed and pinched each other, the scene was so hot that the guy with yellow hair watched it with gusto.

It seems that I can drink tea all afternoon just watching the drama of the three of them tearing each other up and not get tired of it.

For a while, I feel sad about the delivery, the housewife is pitiful, and the husband is hard-working.

The yellow-haired guy turned his head to look at Fang Zhou, "Is this a multiple-choice question? Why do I feel like the three of them are lying, what do you think?"

Fang Zhou, who was concentrating on drinking tea, looked up at the three people who were already silent, "Is it finished?"

Under the tireless persuasion of the waiter, the three of them vented their anger temporarily, but all of them were cold-faced and silent, and no one responded.

Fang Zhou nodded, "That's up to me."

He looked at the waiter and casually gave the result, "He is the one who lied."

A fluttering glance fell on the yellow-haired boy beside him who seemed to be an outsider who had been watching the show seriously, and there was no joking element in his tone.

Perfectly witnessing the gradual change of the yellow-haired boy from a laid-back look to shocking, he blurted out, "Damn!", and the boy pointed at the ark in disbelief, shaking his hands and complaining, "Don't bring such a brother! What the hell did I say? Me? From the time I entered the door to the present, including these few sentences, I can’t even make up a slap in the face, so it’s worth you taking such a big pot from me?!”

As he said that, he hurriedly looked at the waiter again, and was about to ask if there would be any punishment for being wronged, when the waiter clapped his hands slowly and said, "Congratulations on clearing the customs." The boy with yellow hair froze in a dazed state.
