Forces of Temptation

Before the words were finished, a translucent game panel appeared in front of Nanzhou's eyes.

He stretched out his hand, shook it in front of his eyes, and found that the game panel is not a real thing, but a virtual panel floating directly on the retina, and does not require a big movement, just a slight swipe of his finger can realize calling out the panel and closing the page , using props and a series of operations.

On the left side of the panel is a logo of a thriving tree of life.

Lush roots and foliage spread out to embrace the main page on the right.

The shape of the canopy is very similar to the human brain.

Nanzhou tried to touch the crown of the tree with his fingertips, and thousands of golden stardust fell from the treetops, like fireflies living among the treetops.

The most eye-catching positions on the main page are the character's name, character photo, and the character attribute bar that has not been fully loaded and calculated successfully.

There are force attributes, intelligence attributes, contribution attributes, san value attributes, and some strange skill attributes, including theft, healing, ridicule, cooking, forging, labor, etc., all available.

There is a friend list in the upper right corner. After clicking on it, it is empty 0 without exception.

In the lower left corner is a store. There are not many things you can buy in it. Most of the things are gray, representing three words full of sarcasm:

--"can not afford".

The lower right corner is the task log. After clicking on it, you can see that the progress of this trial level has been completed by 100%.

Sandwiched between the shop and quest log icons are item slots.

There are currently three open grids, and the other five grids are gray and unopened.

In this environment, how could other people see the contents of the panel, and got out of the car in confusion.

Even Jiang Fang just browsed quickly and waited for Nan Zhou.

However, Nanzhou's curiosity was unbelievably strong. He poked and poked through all the gray and lighted products, and almost studied every corner of the panel.

He even went to make sure if he would get any hidden rewards if he clicked on the leaves frequently.

Therefore, Jiangfang and Nanzhou were the last two to go down.

The Iron Rabbit noticed Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang's handcuffed hands at a glance.

Its ears pricked up: "You two, a pair?"

Nan Zhou thought of Jiang Fang's scorpion braid, which probably caused a misunderstanding, so he seriously explained to Rabbit: "He is a man."

At this moment, Jiang Fang's mood seemed to be completely adjusted.

He kept a perfect smile and nodded to the rabbit: "Well, yes, I am."

Nanzhou: "..."

Although there seemed to be nothing wrong with Jiang Fang's answer, he always felt that something was weird.

The rabbit's question was also answered, its ears drooped, and it made a tooth-sickly crunching sound of steel rubbing: "Do you need to untie it?"

...it refers to the bracelets of the two.

Nan Zhou was about to raise his hand when he heard Jiang Fang say, "Thank you, no need."

Nanzhou: "?"

Jiang Fang pinched the bracelet with his hand and groped a little. With a little effort, the bracelet on his wrist was easily dented with a gap.

Nan Zhou: "...?"

"'Tomorrow's Ring'." Jiang Fang weighed the bracelet he took off in his palm, "It's the simplest magic prop."

Nan Zhou's own bracelet has no gaps, it is thin and narrow, and it was a little difficult to put it on for the first time.

And Jiang Fang's bracelet was a little thinner than his.

When the two wristbands are nested together, the escape space of each other is even more crowded.

... Nan Zhou firstly wanted to ask Jiang Fang a question, and secondly, he was afraid of breaking Jiang Fang's wrist bones with too much force, so he gave up trying to take off the bracelet and wanted to wait until the finish line.

When Nan Zhou put his windbreaker sleeves on his wrists and took off his bracelet with a rustle, Jiang Fang simply explained:

"Our two bracelets happen to be a pair. Yours is the real one, and mine is the fake one."

"One part of the fake ring is made of neodymium magnets, the exact same color as the silver ring itself."

"During a strong impact, as long as the angle is almost right, the two bracelets will be nested together, and the magnetic principle will also automatically restore the broken bracelet to its original shape."

While speaking, Nan Zhou had successfully removed the bracelet.

He rubbed his wrists and asked, "You know, why didn't you say it?"

Jiang Fang put his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "Because I thought you would find out."

...Of course, he never mentioned that he had used his thumb to vaguely block the magnetic suction port of his wristband.

Magic props, after all, still rely on the cooperation of magic techniques.

Jiang Fang handed him his bracelets: "Here, here are a pair, let's give it to you as a souvenir."

Nan Zhou fixed his eyes on the bracelet and nodded curiously: "...um."

Others: "..." With such a lively mind and such a cold face, it's surprisingly easy to coax.

Everyone stood there, at a loss, waiting for the rabbit's next instructions.

The Iron Rabbit Pickup saw that everyone had gathered, so it bounced and walked straight to a certain direction.

Without instructions, everyone dared not move.

With instructions, some people are even more afraid to move.

While they were hesitating, Jiang Fang and Nan Zhou had already followed the rabbit closely.

...they have nowhere else to go now anyway.

So after crossing a gravel road and turning again, they saw a square before everyone else.

The setting sun is like melted cream, and the ocher light is like oil paint, which is unevenly applied to the sky in different shades.

The square is huge.

On the east side is a large shopping mall. The three-story ring-shaped building extends all the way to the southeast, covering an immeasurable area.

As far as the west side can see, there are restaurants, bookstores, cinemas, and even a few scattered hotels.

The lush shadows of the trees cover the cobbled walkways.

Right in front of everyone was a pool with a first-class sense of craftsmanship. A giant tree-shaped white marble sculpture was carved in the center, and a circle of fountain heads was set up in the surrounding open space.

Probably because it was not the hour, the fountain hadn't started yet.

In addition, the most important thing is the people who travel through it.

For a while, they seemed to have returned to society under normal order.

... If it weren't for this iron rabbit who looked very sci-fi at the sight of them standing beside them.

Li Yinhang was dumbfounded: "...this is... the 'Rust City' of "Gravity"?"

Nan Zhou looked at her.

"Rust City", one of the birth points of players in the game "Gravity".

Because of its closeness to the real city, the game planner named it "Rust City".

——Excessive prosperity is the embroidery of the city and the rust of nature.

Zhao Guanglu, who has never been involved in games, asked eagerly: "What is this "Gravity"?"

Wu Yukai obviously has more say in this matter.

He briefly summed it up: "It's a holographic online game. It's very popular and cool."

……

About a year and a half ago, the world sharing open interactive communication game "Gravity" developed by "Tree of Life" was officially launched after a half-year trial period.

Their selling point is a physics engine that is completely close to reality, a near-perfect ecosystem, and a game copy world with a high degree of freedom to explore.

To play this game, you have to purchase a complete set of interactive equipment, including a full-face helmet VR that can modify vision and auditory neurofeedback, biological touch gloves, waist control equipment, and a humanoid biological cabin.

One machine, one code, the price is good, and a set of basic equipment costs 3 yuan.

In the current social price system, 3 yuan is not a lot.

But take Li Yinhang as an example. She is a bank clerk, and her biggest goal in life is to get out of the singles and buy a small house in Shiyuan South District. She has never considered "Gravity" as a high-end electronic luxury.

But the publicity of "Gravity" has been overwhelming, and she has seen the concept maps including "Rust City" on the headlines many times.

When it first came out, the game sold like crazy.

Because it is too fragrant.

According to Li Yinhang's memory, this game can be said to be suitable for all ages.

Movie theaters can be used to watch movies, and the film library is quite full.

There are hundreds of millions of books in the bookstore, and you can enjoy a library-like reading environment with headphones, hand-turned books, and complete tranquility.

Several cities where players can move around are full of easter eggs that can be explored.

For example, the pool in the center of "Rust City" is also a wishing pool.

Put down 10 credits each game coin and make a wish, and the wish will come true with a certain probability.

Or a high-level weapon, or a rare function card.

Of course, the most popular feature of "Gravity" is the dungeon adventure design, which is based on originality and supplemented by various novels, comics and other literary products.

Players can enter copies of various settings such as ghosts, magic, cold weapons, zombies, plagues, etc., complete tasks, exchange various props, and achieve character upgrades.

The dungeon system is the most direct and effective way for players to upgrade, and it is also the main module of "Gravity".

However, if the player is partial to Buddhism and is too lazy to fight and kill, he can occupy a piece of land and play management games.

Seeds in the store are cheaper than combat props. If you buy some farm tools with krypton gold and consume a little energy, you can open up a farm and pasture of your own, and cultivate and plant according to the system time.

Factory infrastructure can also start with the purchase of a simple textile machine.

Whether to be a big farmer or open a textile factory has its own way of playing.

Some players have climbed to the forefront of the overall scoreboard through careful management.

"Gravity" is the only game project of "Tree of Life" company.

Dare to set foot in the unknown field of holographic online games, their ambition is evident.

And the finished products they launched are worthy of their ambitions.

…until a serious accident about six or seven months ago.

When Wu Yukai said this, Nan Zhou suddenly interrupted his narration.

He said: "That is to say, if you want to get everything in this game, you must redeem it with points?"

Before Wu Yukai could say "nonsense", he suddenly felt dizzy from suffocation.

The oxygen around him was suddenly sucked away.

In a short while, his lips turned purple from lack of oxygen.

Seeing everyone's painful expressions one by one, Pickup grinned with a steel three-petal mouth, smiling mysteriously.

"Your two 10-minute oxygen experience package usage time has ended."

"Please exchange your points for oxygen in time."

But when it looked at Nan Zhou and Jiang Fang, it saw that their expressions were normal and their breathing was smooth.

Nan Zhou even thoughtfully turned around to remind Li Yinhang, who was holding his throat and unable to breathe: "Open the seventh page of the store. 10 points can be exchanged for 1 hour of breathing time."

Li Yinhang tried his best to hold his breath, and when he was shaking his hands to exchange, he still hesitated for a moment.

... She still has a trace of the stubbornness of the poor.

Nan Zhou saw through her thoughts and persuaded, "Change it, there is no more cost-effective exchange method. Even if you buy 100 times in a row, you won't be given a discount of 1 point."

Pickup: "..."

Every time it receives newcomers, it likes this link the most.

The newlyweds suddenly find that they have lost the ability to breathe, so they are full of ugly faces in fear and panic, and their tears are flowing, which is the most pleasing picture.

…it feels like its routine pleasure has been forcibly taken away by these two.

It suppressed its sulking: "You guys, what's going on?"

Did they know that the oxygen would disappear, so they exchanged it in advance?

Jiang Fang smiled slightly: "That's right. We thought that the three 'ghost' players might have something useful on them, so we tried to put their corpses into the item slots."

Pickup: "..." Grass.

Nanzhou: "Well, this is useful. They should still have oxygen in their backpacks."

After saying that, he looked around at the strange eyes and asked curiously, "Is there anything wrong with that?"

Pickup: "..."

Others who exchanged breathing items one after another: "..."

A pervert would carry three human head mushrooms on his body, right? !

The author has something to say:
