The live broadcast is favored by the world [unlimited]

In 2204, the earth became a wasteland, and the world entertained to death.The holographic online game world Ark was born out of nowhere and became the last spiritual haven for human beings.The human body is lying in the sleeping cabin, surviving on the nutrient solution, and the consciousness exists in the ark world, and in some sense, it can be regarded as obtaining eternal life.

The original design of the Ark was purely for entertainment, but 50 years ago, the chief designer Fu Xiangyang committed suicide suddenly, causing the Ark to go crazy. From 34:[-] a.m. on that day, people were horrified to find that there was an extra time slot on their arms. Start counting down everyone's survival time, and when the time is cleared, you will die, and you will not be able to revive or go offline.

To put it simply, Fu Xiangyang's death turned Ark World from a paradise of eternal life into a cruel world of escape.

Tidal leaned back, dodging the tentacles waving by the monster, and at the same time shot out a particle cannon from his palm, hitting the monster's eye. The monster roared and fell, dust flying in the narrow warehouse.

Tidal slid back and knelt down to the corner of the wall, took a few breaths and began to explain: "Do you remember the action just now? Lean your body back 120 degrees, pay attention to the center of gravity, and if you perform this move well, you can avoid the heavy blow from the boss. Remember We need to fight quickly, once this boss goes berserk, it will be troublesome, although it will not kill you, but at least you will lose a few big hits. Friends who don’t know what to do, don’t rush, today’s live broadcast ends here.”

He is [Hey!Don't go, Brother Xi! 】【Play it again, I haven't fully understood it yet! 】【It's less than five hours today!Brother Xi! ] turned off the holographic connection in the rainy barrage, and took off the live broadcast glasses.

He leaned against the wall to breathe steadily, the air was filled with blood and dust, he should have opened the dungeon door to go out to breathe fresh air, but the sore and limp legs didn't seem to belong to him, and he couldn't stand at all.

The time slot on the arm made a beeping sound, which was a reminder that the rewards had arrived after the task was completed.He glanced down, 430, 21 hours, 35 minutes and [-] seconds, the metal number was frozen in the time slot, and after a beep, the countdown began rapidly.

He has been in this world for a year and three months, but every time he sees the time slot on his arm, he still feels unreal.

It is said that this is just the body of the character in the Ark game, but no one knows how to get offline?How to return to the real world?It's as if humans all over the world are trapped in the game.

People produced, traded, entertained...even robbed, exchanged various means for more time, and struggled to survive.The time for daily activities and selling supplies is very short, because no one will pay too much time for a piece of bread.If you want to increase your income, you have to go to various escape dungeons and complete the dungeon tasks.

Chao Chao not only broke through the dungeon by himself, but also opened a live broadcast. He couldn't remember what happened before he crossed over, but he seemed to be born with the ability to clear all kinds of dungeons.

Through the holographic live broadcast, fans are equivalent to possessing Tidal, experiencing his customs clearance actions in the dungeon, and increasing their chances of clearing the dungeon.Instance hosts like Tidal are called podcasters. They are almost the most dangerous and profitable professions in the entire Ark. They always open up the latest instance, challenge the most difficult instance, and exchange their lives for huge profits.In fact, Chao Chao has become the top player in the industry in just one year, and his fans in the live broadcast room have reached hundreds of millions.

But even if there is teaching, there will still be people who die in the escape dungeon, and people who don’t have much time to risk their lives emerge in endlessly, including of course the podcast of the wasteland dungeon. In addition to ABC Level [-] dungeons, there are also more advanced S-level dungeons, and the dungeons will be updated and upgraded every month.No one knows where the people who died have gone, and no one knows what is on the other side of death.

It may be offline, but it is more likely to be eternal sleep.

Tidal had almost rested. He stood up and pushed open the door of the dungeon. He put on his hood and walked out. The door of the dungeon behind him gradually disappeared.

He was in a bustling market, and the world channel above his head was broadcasting grotesque video information, and the crowd around him flowed from his side like a tide.

Tidal closed his eyes and took a deep breath. There was a lot of voices in his ears, yelling of selling things, talking and laughing, and exclamation burst out from time to time.He smelled the aroma of hot buns coming out of the oven, the sweetness of roasted chestnuts in sugar, and all kinds of spicy and delicious aromas... a world of smoke and fire.

If it weren't for the fast countdown time slot on his arm, he would even forget that this is not the real world.

"Look at it! Palm flamethrower can help you quickly wipe out mobs in the dungeon and buy more time to fight the boss! Do you want to come? It's worth buying one in 56 minutes, it's very cost-effective!" The hawker in the crowd performed passionately Putting his own equipment on, the flames spewed to Tidal's hair!

Tide quickly sideways to dodge amidst the exclamation of the crowd, the flames stuck to him, brushed past him at close range, and instantly illuminated his face, the beautiful face was fleeting, and soon disappeared into the shadow under the hood inside.

"I'm sorry! This little brother! It was an accident, it was purely an accident!" The flamethrower seller apologized to him through the crowd.

The face of the tide didn't change color, and the eyebrows didn't even lift.He ignored the peddler, just carried his bag and continued on, disappearing into the crowd.

"Wow! Did you see that? The boy who was almost sprayed by fire just now! He looks so handsome!"

"Yeah! It's a pity to get burned! This face is like a prick to my heart! I'm willing to spend 50 years worth it!!"

"I just took a close look and felt like I couldn't breathe!"

Tide's face was of course not bought with 50 years of time value, it was his original face when he came into this world, without even adding any adjustments.He clicked on the void panel, spent 25 hours to get a new hairstyle, replaced the hair that had been scorched by the fire, and there was a beep on his wrist, reducing the time by 150 minutes.

In the Ark, everyone can spend time adjusting their appearance, face, height, and body shape, and even shape themselves into non-human appearances. Of course, the more beautiful and complex the shape, the more time it will take.

On the road, you can often see archangels with wings, muscular and huge orcs, or all kinds of unimaginable "people", but most of the adjustments are aimed at the improvement of strength or ability, and only these can be found in the dungeon. The ability to earn more time points in the game is worth spending time on buying.

Tide is no exception, he doesn't like to waste too much time on his appearance, he prefers to take time to enjoy it.

Chao Chao went into a pharmacy, took some big red bottles of wound medicine, went to the equipment store, charged up the particle cannon, and finally got a pack of cigarettes at the convenience store next door.

Luo brand, gold pack, high-end goods worth eight hours, ordinary people are absolutely reluctant to exchange their lives for eight hours a day for a pack of cigarettes.

He touched the time slot with the shop owner, and after paying the bill, it started to rain.Tidal lit a cigarette and stood under the eaves of the convenience store, with the fiery red cigarette butt separated by the rain curtain.

He hates rainy days the most!

After waiting for a while, seeing that the rain did not stop, Tide pulled up his hood and walked into the rain with a cigarette in his mouth.

He walked to a corner, put the filter to the corner of his mouth with his tongue, and announced his ID number.

"Open the crimson star copy," he said.

After the voice fell, a door suddenly appeared at the corner out of thin air.

The crimson star dungeon is an old A-level dungeon, which may be very difficult for ordinary people, but for Chao Chao, the dungeon he played once is just visiting his back garden.The dungeon of customs clearance itself will not bring him any income, but the live broadcast can. He plans to spend the rest of the night doing his old work again, earning some live broadcast gifts in exchange for time.

He pushed open the door and walked in. Familiar music sounded inside, but suddenly the tide stopped, and he found that there was an extra person in the dungeon passage!

Tidal took a half step back vigilantly, and the particle cannon slipped out of his cuff.

Once there is any change in the dungeon, it may affect the development of subsequent tasks. The familiar back garden may also become a road leading to the maze at any time. There have been old dungeons that suddenly added NPCs in the past, and the tide almost capsized.

I saw the man wearing a tattered black robe, sitting on the ground, his whole body showing a half-disintegrated state, his body was entwined with a black air, and wherever the black air passed, it would decompose into particles and float in the air, but Probably because he also took some recovery potion, and his body is also healing itself.

The two contradictory forces of disintegrating and repairing are swimming in his body, making him look very strange.

Tide noticed that there was also a time slot on his arm, and the numbers inside had been reset to zero.

It's a human player, not an npc. Tidal heaved a sigh of relief and put away the particle cannon.

It stands to reason that when the dungeon is opened, there should be no other players in it, unless the dungeon was originally opened together online, but anyway, this unlucky guy obviously has not much time left at this time, he should use some special props to clear the time slot , Still struggling to survive in a half-decomposed state!

Can the time slot be cleared for such a long time?Tidal stared at the man's slightly undulating chest, and suddenly remembered an old friend.

When he first came to Ark, he was picked up by a girl named Aru. Aru accompanied him through the initial difficult days and taught him what time slot is and how to play Ark instance. make time.

Finally, he earned time value on the platform for the first time. It was raining heavily that day, and he desperately wanted to share the joy with Aru, but he searched the whole block in the rain, but couldn't find her. Finally, he found her in a muddy dark alley. What I saw here was Aru's body.

She was robbed and the time slot was emptied.

From that day on, he really realized that the Ark is not a game, it is more cruel and real than reality.

Tidal sat cross-legged next to the man with a cigarette in his mouth.

He smoked a cigarette, was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "Most people stop breathing the moment the time slot clears."

The man remained motionless and did not respond.

Tidal didn't need him to answer, and continued: "But I have a friend who is very similar to you. After she was looted, she struggled to move forward. When I found her, she had even crawled out of the muddy ground for 15 years. rice."

Still no response.

"What does it feel like to climb 15 meters when someone should be dead? I don't know."

"I just know I missed her final struggle."

Tide turned his face away, stuffed his remaining cigarette butt into the man's half-disassembled mouth, and then patted his intact half face.

"If someone is waiting for you, I hope to help him avoid regrets."

After Tidal finished speaking, he raised his hand and touched his time slot.

720 hours turned to the time slot of the half-decomposed man. Chao Chao stood up, flung his backpack on, and disappeared at the end of the dungeon passage.

He didn't notice that since he transferred the time value, the blackness on the man's body began to fade.

After a long time, there was a sudden sigh in the silent passage, the black energy on the man's body completely disappeared, and his fragmented body gradually returned to its integrity.

He took off the cigarette butt between his lips and played with it with his fingertips, and the stars were shining in his silver-gray pupils.

"Yes...you... are you back?"
