Raising Kun Daily

"...forcing him to run aground on Sword Ridge."

With an order from the cold voice, dozens of weapon masters flew into the sky with their swords.The violent wind mixed with snow and mist rolled the sleeves of the weapon holders, and suddenly a pale sharp horn burst out of the cloud, followed by a black pupil inlaid with a golden wheel that was as big as a house , the black pupils were full of ridicule towards those who overestimated themselves, and when they looked at the leader of the sword wielder, this mockery gradually turned into fear.

"Thanks……"

The huge monster like a mountain in the clouds let out a thunderous roar.

"Xie Tunan!!!"

Xie Tunan opened his eyes and let his mind go blank for a few seconds before sitting up from the bed.In the faint light of morning, he quietly looked at his hands.This hand once held supreme power, as long as it held a sword, it was invincible.

but……

It was just a holographic game, and the discomfort and loss he occasionally experienced now was called "virtual reality syndrome".Some game testers will suffer from this mental illness, and some will even be unable to distinguish reality from games, resulting in more serious mental problems.

However, Xie Tunan felt that it was okay. He had been in the game for five years before clearing the level, and now he just had a little sequelae.He is confident that he can overcome it by himself, and of course, when necessary, he will not shy away from medical treatment.

After washing, Xie Tunan stepped on his bicycle, and the bicycle passed through the narrow streets and alleys that he hadn't walked in five years. Above his head, the pink and bright blue neon lights went out in sequence in the morning light.

[Welcome to Alkaline City] is off, and next is [Food Stall] and [Mahjong Hall]. Xie Tunan walked through this morning light that does not need lights, and the bicycle turned a corner deftly. The steam passed by.

Xie Tunan rode through this bungalow area, and in front of him was another block full of tall buildings.The skyscrapers are straight into the sky, and the sky is intertwined with bright silver rails. Robot servers that can levitate shuttle back and forth between the sky rails and high-rise buildings. Display screens of various colors are arranged between the buildings like mottled fish scales, changing various products. advertisment.

[The new type of prosthetic has been launched on the market, with an extension length of up to five meters and a load of ××kg, suitable for manual laborers. 】

[The memory cemetery is open in the third phase, and the consultation hotline is ××××-××××××××. 】

[Instructions from the Alkaline City Government plan to add a batch of virtual reality pilots within this month...]

[Beihai Technology, your best choice! 】

Compared with the bustling air traffic, the facilities on the ground are old and dilapidated.Xie Tunan was waiting for the crooked traffic lights in front of the almost invisible crosswalk. He unscrewed the water bottle and took a sip, then raised his eyes, and a traffic police robot with fluorescent green and white body outlined had slowly landed on his side. before.

[Hello, please cooperate with the inspection and show your special vehicle driver's license. 】

Xie Tunan put down the water bottle, exhaled, and slowly took out the bicycle driver's license from his pocket.The validity period of the special vehicle driver's license is one year, after which a re-examination is required, but the game test that Xie Tunan participated in is different from the time flow in the real world. The ratio is about ten to one. In reality, it has only been about six months. Not expired.After scanning it carefully, the robot policeman bowed deeply to him.

[After inspection, your certificate is qualified and you are allowed to go on the road. 】

[In addition, for safety reasons, the Alkaline City government will completely cancel ground transportation by the end of next month. All citizens are obliged to cooperate with the government and join the Alkaline City air rail network. 】

Xie Tunan raised his eyes slightly.

"New file?"

【Yes. 】

"Can bicycles ride on empty tracks?"

[The minimum speed of vehicles on the empty track is 120 kilometers per hour. Does your vehicle meet the requirements? 】

Xie Tunan was silent.

When the bicycle reaches a speed of 120 per hour, he might as well go on Hot Wheels.

The traffic police robot lifted off, the green light turned on, and Xie Tunan got on his bicycle again.After passing this intersection, advertisements and empty tracks become sparse, and high-rise buildings suddenly turn into low-rise, dilapidated old communities.Xie Tunan recalled the route in his memory, and stopped in front of a small six-story building with no signs above his head, only a tricycle surrounded by dusty glass cabinets on three sides, and the red letter stickers crookedly stuck to "Pancake Fruit" .

"Sister Zheng?" Xie Tunan called out tentatively, and a slightly messy bun poked out from behind the dusty glass cabinet. When he saw Xie Tunan, he stayed for a few seconds, and then the lines of laughter crept up. corner of eye.

"Ouch, Ouch Mr. Xie! You're back?!"

"Yes, I ended the closed test a week ago, adjusted for a few days, and came back to work today." Xie Tunan said, with a slight smile in his dark gray eyes, "It's still the same, I want three pancakes, one normal , one without coriander, one without spicy."

"Okay." Sister Zheng smiled, and started to move quickly with her hands.She is a bit fat, born with a pair of festive smiling eyes, and a small mole in the corner of her eyes.She used two shovels to make three pancakes, and put half an extra piece of sausage inside, and finally refused to accept Xie Tunan's money.

"I invite Mr. Xie! I invite Mr. Xie!" She was so anxious that she spoke incoherently, "Thanks to Mr. Xie, my car, and my cleaning job...Mr. Xie came back from a business trip, I invite you! I invite you !"

Xie Tunan had no choice but to secretly stuff the money into the money box.He did all this with unusually quick hands, but he didn't realize it.Sister Zheng said that she would go up to clean after closing the stall. Xie Tunan went upstairs first. The six-story residential building had an elevator. Xie Tunan got off the elevator on the fourth floor and opened the door. Inside was a small studio for residential renovation.

On the desk near the door, a person stood up with a "huh".

"...Senior!"

The age of the person behind the desk was between a teenager and a young man, and his not-so-long black hair was tied behind his head, a little messy.He opened his lacquered eyes, looked very surprised, walked around the desk and walked quickly towards Xietunan.

"Senior, why come to work so early and don't take a few days off?"

[Brother, it snowed on the mountain last night, why didn't you wait for Xueqing to practice sword again? 】

The voice of the young man who seemed to be blowing flowers and leaves rang in his ears again, clear and clear, full of admiration.Xie Tunan was in a trance for a moment, he collected himself, and then drove out the hallucination that had just appeared in his mind.

"It's almost time to rest, come to the studio to have a look." Xie Tunan raised his hand, and suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was not the little junior in the game. On the shoulder of the other party, "Changle, how is the studio in the past six months?"

"As usual, because of the injection of funds, the research and development process has been pushed forward a lot." Chang Le said, Xie Tunan's hand on his shoulder did not move away for a while, his cheeks were a little flushed, "If it weren't for the senior, The capital chain has long been broken."

The research and development funds of their studio are very tight. Xie Tunan is a well-known game tester in the industry. The industry giant Beihai Technology then extended an olive branch to Xie Tunan and invited him to participate in the test, check for bugs, and test the fluency of the main line.

Of course, such a masterpiece will go through countless tests in the future. What Xie Tunan has to do is to be the first person to eat crabs, go through the entire main line, and reach the peak ending of this game.In return, Beihai Technology will pay Xie Tunan's studio a considerable amount of money.

Like a gamble, if they win, the studio will have capital injection, and if they fail to meet the requirements, Xie Tunan will have to switch to Beihai Technology.

Beihai Science and Technology is thirsty for talents, and they want Xie Tunan, a gold medal tester.

But fortunately, everything went well.

"It's nothing, it's just an outside job." Xie Tunan said very easily, he put the pancake fruit without coriander on the Changle table, and then asked, "Why don't you see the boss?"

The smile on Changle's face suddenly faded.

"Boss he..."

"...Nannan, good morning."

The door of the master bedroom, which was converted into the boss's office, opened, and the young man leaning against the door frame smiled and said, "He is good-looking, and the most striking thing is his light and romantic aura, which will become the focus of the crowd wherever he is. In the studio, it is still very pleasing to the eye.

He looked at the grocery bag Xitunanti was holding in his hand.

"Bring it for me?"

"Boss." Xie Tunan called out, then handed over the bag, "No spicy food."

The young man's smile widened. Instead of picking up the bag, he took a step forward and hugged Xie Tunan.

"Just come back." He said softly, "Just come back."

This hug was more like a celebration of reunion after a long absence. Even though it was intimate, the time was short, so Xie Tunan didn't think much about it.There are only three people in their studio, plus Sister Zheng, who works as a part-time cleaner downstairs, barely counts as four people. The scale is small, and they also do small games like mining, but Xie Tunan is willing to come back here.

"How do you feel, Beihai Technology's new game?" the boss asked.

Xie Tunan thought about it seriously.

"Our mining game is better."

"I feel so too."

Both of them talked nonsense with their eyes open, and then laughed at the same time.

Xie Tunan had fished for a day openly, and he could not enter other games for testing in a short period of time, which would be too heavy on his mental burden, as Beihai Technology specifically explained.Xie Tunan's seven days are almost a reconstruction after being immersed in holographic games for a long time at Beihai Technology. His self-adjustment speed is so fast that the staff of Beihai Technology are amazed. He is a natural tester.

But now Xie Tunan felt that he didn't seem to recover so quickly.

He sat at his workstation and looked out the window. Outside were several other dilapidated residential buildings, showing a dusty gray-yellow color.And all of a sudden, two red shadows danced in the gray-yellow. A pair of xuanzhu birds with double tail feathers landed on the clothesline full of clothes, whispering to each other, and the lights on their heads Suddenly the card flashed blue, and the two birds were frightened and flew away.

Xie Tunan rubbed his eyes, then looked on the clothesline, where was the Xuan Zhu bird in the game.

"Senior Nan Nan." Chang Le called him at the door, "The online car-hailing service is here."

Xie Tunan no longer thought about the two birds, and agreed that their studio was going to the city to have dinner tonight.Xie Tunan got into the car, the door closed automatically, and the empty rail car flew away from the ground. The red and blue lights lit up one after another as if following their footsteps, announcing the arrival of night in Alkaline City.

However, in the midst of the lanterns, a large flock of black vermilion birds gathered into a bright cloud, and it was full of clotheslines scattered among the residential buildings.

"Oh, who owns this clothes? The water hasn't been wrung out, it looks like it's fallen down by the rope."

"Hey, hey, it's going to be broken!"

Boom!

Amidst the screams below, dozens of clotheslines broke together, and clothes and red bird goddesses scattered all over the sky like flowers.

Xie Tunan in the car turned his head, as if he heard something vaguely.

"Hey, I didn't hear it." Chang Le shook his head, "What's the sound?"

Xie Tunan was a little unsure.

"...boom?"
