This Game Is Too Realistic

I'm most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.

Looking at Ye Shi and Lao Yi whose expressions were getting more and more subtle, Chu Guang coughed lightly.

"You can say whatever you want, otherwise I will feel embarrassed."

You know how embarrassing it is! ! !

Ye Shi roared in his heart, digging his toes into his shoes to dig out four rooms and one living room.

This guy is the first NPC to appear in the closed beta server since its launch.

He is also the most NPC-like person in the entire game.

Previously, they had also wondered why the operator upgraded the intelligence of all NPCs but not the intelligence of this original NPC... but they never thought that this guy was a real person from the beginning.

Of course, the video later released by Dr. Principle proved that the other NPCs were also real people.

Ye Shi coughed slightly, breaking the silence between the three of them, and said with a smile and an indifferent expression.

"It's okay, okay...I'm not the most embarrassed, at most I just said some naughty things."

Some players will treat this guy as a tree hole and talk about some real-life things.

After all, this guy is the only one who can understand what the players are saying based on the setting, and the manager of the alliance is relatively far away from anyone's daily life, as if he is a completely different world.

Another person who has gained such a high favorability level but can’t get rid of it, so he has to make some use of it, right?

There are also "realists" who regard him as a diary with this idea.

In general, these guys are probably so embarrassed that they want to commit suicide now.

If they couldn't defeat this monster, they probably wouldn't have been cruel enough, right?

Looking at Ye Shi who was smiling and laughing, Chu Guang understood what he meant by embarrassment.

In fact, this is the reason why he has not shown his face on the "Closed Test Server" these days.

emmm…

What do you say?

It's really not easy to face.

It's better to give his cute little players some time to exercise their toe muscles.

"So... you are A Guang? The A Guang in the group?"

Lao Ji's reaction was relatively normal. He just talked to him in a normal way, just like an ordinary young man who couldn't let go when a large online game guild first launched an online game.

"Yes." Chu Guang smiled faintly, looked at him and made a joke to liven up the atmosphere, "Don't be so formal. We have known each other for so many years, and we used to play chicken together. By the way, this opportunity is rare. , want to form a team together?”

"I have no objection." As he said this, Lao Jing sent the team invitation.

All three people joined the team and changed their voices to the team channel that only their teammates could hear.

He thought Chu Guang was going to whisper something to them, but he saw an eager expression on the latter's face, as if he really just wanted to play a game happily.

However, Lao Ji was only surprised for a while and soon felt relieved.

Hiding the truth from everyone he knows, he carries the huge mission alone, and in the process gradually understands...

What Ye Shi saw was only superficial embarrassment, but what he saw was the ashes-like exhaustion that remained after the candle burned out.

And this heavy weight is equal to the glory carried on its shoulders.

Maybe he was really tired.

Lao Jin's Adam's apple moved, and a smile appeared on his face.

"How about LV5 Leech Cave? I heard that it is more suitable for men... By the way, what level are you?"

Chu Guang laughed and said.

"Me? Haha, I just finished my tutoring. Of course, I am LV3 like you... It seems that Ye Shi will take care of us both."

Ye Shi couldn't help but complain.

"Gan! You are a dog planner. How many levels you want is not a matter of moving your fingers."

Chu Guang smiled faintly, shook his head and said.

"That's different. It's not impossible for me to directly upgrade to the full level, but the meaning of the game will be lost."

Ye Shi couldn't help but complain.

"What's the point of this?"

"How could it not be?" Chu Guang smiled and said in a teasing tone, "For example... did you get together with Xiao Jiang because of your psychic powers, or because of the things you experienced together during your adventure?"

Ye Shi looked away sheepishly, not knowing if he thought of something, but suddenly his face turned red and he was speechless.

Lao Ji thought seriously for a while, looked at Chu Guang thoughtfully and said.

"So...this is also the reason why you selectively kept the truth about Project 404?"

"Yes," Chu Guang nodded, admitting this point simply, "I not only selectively withhold many things from you, but also selectively withhold a lot from myself."

Ye Shi said doubtfully.

"Why? Wouldn't it be better for everyone to face it together after the confession? Including open and honest cooperation——"

"That's an ideal situation. The reality is 1/776 failure... It's not like I haven't tried the methods you imagined, but they didn't produce the expected results. There are many reasons why."

Looking at this innocent young man, Chu Guang's tone was as relaxed as possible, and he brushed off those imperfect endings in an understatement.

The most sentiment he had after watching 776 BE was that he should never have the thought "As long as... I will...".

Every year in the Wasteland Era, the survivors living in the Wasteland face unprecedented situations.

Lao Ji said thoughtfully.

"'If I told you what to post, nothing would be posted,' right?"

"That's right." Chu Guang nodded with a smile, a light of appreciation in his eyes.

"Although I'm a little curious about what it will be like, I think it's good to be like this now...I suddenly am not so curious anymore." Lao Ji grinned freely, looked at Chu Guang and said, " But I really didn’t expect that you are actually A Guang... so your real name is also Chu Guang? "

Chu Guang thought for a while.

"How should I put it? Strictly speaking, I only know you in the beta universe,"

Ye Shi swallowed, suddenly remembered something, and then said.

"By the way, can you connect to the Internet in this world in that world?"

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"Of course, that kind of thing is not easy. I can even open a small account and meet you offline. How about you, do you want to treat me to dinner?"

Facing this shocking news, Ye Shi felt that his brain was a little confused for a moment, and his hands unconsciously placed on the back of his head.

"I'll think about it...wait, shit...you mean...people from the wasteland can also come here?"

"And you can come and play "Reality OL" as a 'player'. Are you scared?"

Looking at Lao Yi and Ye Shi who were completely stunned, Chu Guang smiled and said softly.

"So you'd better not tell others, so as not to cause unnecessary panic."

He has no interest in forming an immortal army in the beta universe, and then conquering the world with the technology in the wasteland... If he really did this, Dr. Principle Hachi would also think he was crazy.

Because there is no point in doing so.

For people in the People's Federation era, the concept of "human civilization" has been born in their consciousness.

Especially for people who have experienced the catastrophe at the end of the Prosperous Era, they have a deeper understanding of this concept... After all, that catastrophe destroyed everything they once owned.

These special experiences destined them to be unlikely to ruin the future of human civilization in order to become secular kings.

The same goes for Chu Guang.

However, the beta universe is still in its own historical process after all, and it is impossible to expect contemporary countries to relax their vigilance against "morphological fields".

㳓It will take some time for people living in this universe to understand him and the similar but different human civilization behind the void and about the α universe.

The public beta server of "Wasteland OL" is a good medium.

Until then, it is better not to make any big announcement that people from the α universe can descend to the β universe with "immortal bodies".

As for guessing, that kind of thing never matters, everyone can come up with their own guesses.

Anyway, there are always people whose guesses are more exaggerated than the truth.

"Doesn't this mean that objects in the wasteland can be brought into reality..." Ye Shi murmured quietly, and his eyes towards Chu Guang gradually became hot, just like his son seeing Yi Yu.

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"Of course it is allowed, as long as you sign the tonnage guarantee agreement...and this is also the customs clearance reward I leave to you."

Ye Shi: "I'll sign! I'll sign the prostitution agreement! Hey, wait, if I repeatedly jump between the two worlds, doesn't that mean I can live forever?!"

Chu Guang thought for a moment and said in a non-joking tone.

"Yes, yes, but you'd better think about it carefully. Just temporarily borrowing a clone is another matter. As for complete time travel... I can't guarantee that after you die in this world, you will still be the same person in another world. you."

The soul is an abstract thing, it cannot be seen or touched after all.

Even if spiritual energy is awakened, you cannot truly capture its entity, you can only touch the echo it leaves in a specific place.

Not to mention jumping sideways repeatedly.

Even if it only jumped once, it would be too much for my life to bear.

And this is also the reason why many residents of "Vault 404-β" hesitate to go back——

It is possible that they did not travel back in time, but died in this world, and then found another version of themselves in another universe.

It's like an android that uploads its thoughts to a circuit board.

If it is to save civilization, of course they are willing to pay this high price... After all, they all voluntarily followed the professor to participate in Project 404.

If only to go home...

It seems that there is really no need to "suicide".

After all, they no longer have a home there, and at most they can only find descendants of their descendants, or spiritual continuations.

Rather than saying that they want to return to the α universe and live a good life, it is better to say that they just want to see the world they saved and see the lives of the younger generations in the era.

Strictly speaking, the beta fissioner who inherited the identity of "Professor" did not solve this problem, but simply left the problem to the residents of "Vault 404-Beta" to think for themselves.

This is indeed something they should think about themselves.

However, in line with the principle of not leaving anyone with regrets, the kind and kind-hearted Chu Guang still came up with a compromise plan and handed it over to Dr. Principle for implementation.

The program was codenamed "Homecoming."

Researchers stranded in the β universe do not have to die again. Instead, they lie in a specially designed life support cabin and travel to the α universe through the morphological field like players.

And he goes back as a player.

To be honest, Chu Guang sometimes admires himself.

Although he doesn't understand those complicated technical principles, he can use his wonderful imagination to make these complicated things come true.

In fact, in the middle of the year, he also tried to let researchers from the β universe jump to the α universe and then use similar technology to jump back, thereby getting stuck in the void bug.

It's just a pity that the operation of this stuck bug does not work. It seems that the conscious body can only jump once and cannot continue to fission infinitely in the same universe like a chain reaction.

This may also be the reason why the professor launched beta fissioners into multiple beta universes.

Looking at Ye Shi who fell into silence, Chu Guang continued with a smile.

"If you just want to live longer, there is no need to go to so much trouble. You can just lie down in the cultivation cabin in this world and suspend the metabolism of the body in reality."

Ye Shi said in surprise.

"Can something like this be done?"

Chu Guang smiled and nodded.

"Of course it can be done, but it's too early for you... Let's wait until you send your loved ones away and put Yuji in the coffin."

Lao Ji looked at him and continued.

"Let's not talk about our affairs...what are your plans in the future?"

Chu Guang smiled and thought for a while.

"Well...maybe I can continue to be my game planner? I don't know. I haven't thought about things that are too far away. Maybe I have to take some time to think about it. In short, I have gradually handed over the affairs of the alliance to the citizens of the alliance themselves. ”

"As for now, I just want to play games quietly."

…

"Wasteland OL" public beta server, the gate of Boulder City.

Punk-looking mercenaries and wastelanders come and go in the ruin-style market.

Traders dressed like humans and dogs stood under the shabby iron shed and shouted. On the scrawled table were weapons, armor, parts, medicines, synthetic materials, and various daily necessities or supplies. The iron cage on the side was according to the server. Don’t leave things that don’t exist.

Sometimes it’s people, sometimes it’s mosaics.

Generally speaking, the modeling here is relatively restored. Whether it is the yawning militiamen standing in front of the checkpoint, or the "untainted" Yuanfengfeng Hotel, they are all consistent with the real situation in the α㰱 world. It's like being carved out of a mold.

The only changes are the scale of the market and slums, and the currency used for transactions is no longer chips but Y coins that circulate throughout the server.

The generative AI and AI trainers of Ideal City have added a large number of level 10 to 30 tasks to the outer city of Boulder City.

Not knowing this, they also referred to a series of works such as "Boer the Awakened" and connected these massive branch lines on a main axis called "The Revolution in Boulder City", weaving a set of epic main plots and branches. The loose leaves look like a huge quest tree in the wasteland.

Players can stand on the side of the changers, gain order points by completing a series of tasks, and unlock a series of landmarks including "Survivor Daily Report" and "Inner City Ruins" while promoting the change of Boulder City. Change the mental and external appearance of the map and NPCs.

In addition, players can also stand in the inner city and complete a series of tasks to inhibit the growth of order points and prevent the progress of the expansion pack.

Or maybe the two are not helping each other from the perspective of the wastelanders.

After paying the gold group's reward, Fang Chang went straight to the gate of Boulder City.

Maybe the programmers of Ideal City couldn't figure out why they had to pay when entering the city. Maybe it was to take care of the game experience of the players. The classic one-chip city tax was cancelled, and the doors were no longer closed after the sun went down. Repeatedly The yawning level 50 militiaman didn't even look at him.

Without staying here longer, Fang Chang went straight to the Queen of the Night Bar - it was the largest intelligence gathering center outside Boulder City during the Heika rule. It was also the place where he first met Dolly, who was still an intelligence dealer.

It was 8pm, and the bar was packed with scantily clad dancers and people looking for fun.

He stretched his neck and looked in front of the bar for a while. His long gaze followed the crowd for a long time, but he didn't see his familiar figure.

Just when he was confused, a waiter walked up to him and asked with a smile.

"Sir, what would you like to order?"

"I'm looking for another lady named Dolly."

"Dolly? We don't have anyone like that here."

"I know, she is not one of your members, she is an information dealer here."

As soon as Fang Chang finished speaking, the enthusiasm on his NPC's face cooled down at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Ah... mercenaries? Tsk, this city is full of such things. I sincerely remind you, don't get in the way if you don't order a drink."

Looking at the waiter who turned to leave, Fang Chang was stunned for a long time. After coming back to his senses, he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"The NPCs in this game are so real..."

Perhaps he was too impatient. He subconsciously regarded the NPCs in this game as real NPCs and went straight to the theme to achieve his goal. As a result, all the gaming habits he had developed in the closed beta server were left behind, and he ended up in trouble. But it had the opposite effect.

Think about it too.

Which bar would take a good look at a "bao snoop" hiding in its own bar and snooping around on personal privacy?

It's like a cockroach in the kitchen.

Considering that there are also ecological balances in the shadows, the staff just turned a blind eye and asked straight to the point with an unfamiliar face, which was simply ridiculous.

At least order a drink and ask the bartender, or ask the dancer here to have a drink...

Fang Chang took a deep breath to calm down his impetuous mind, then walked to the bar and sat down.

"One glass... no, two glasses of lemonade..."

The bartender glanced at him, deducted 20Y coins from his account, and then like magic, he conjured two glasses of lemonade and placed them on the bar.

Fang Chang picked up one of the glasses and took a sip.

Just as he put down the cup, a beautiful emerald green shadow swayed from the corner of his eye, and the fluffy tail of his hair was like a succulent midsummer.

"You're looking for me?"

Her charming eyes were like those of a cat. She was sitting in front of the bar at some point, her fair cheek leaning against the back of her metallic hand and arm.

The moment he saw that face, Fang Chang felt his vision blurred, as if he was back in time.

"Dolly..."

Unable to contain his excitement, he subconsciously stretched out his right hand, wanting to touch her hand.

However, an invisible wall of air stood between the two of them. His index finger was always one centimeter away and could not touch it.

The sudden movement startled Dolly, and the calm expression on her face instantly turned into astonishment, and she jumped down from the bar stool like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Hey, hey, hey...what are you doing? I'm an information dealer and I don't do that kind of thing."

The bartender behind the bar continued to clean the glasses, turning a blind eye to the commotion in front of the bar.

The same goes for other NPCs around.

It seems that as background, they did not trigger dialogue and did not participate in the plot.

"Dolly...I...I see, the memory has not been installed, so it is actually just a mirror image of the clone." The expression on Fang Chang's face kept changing. Sometimes he was heartbroken, and sometimes he seemed relieved, or he murmured something strange to himself. something.

Startled by this yandere look, Dolly took a few steps back tremblingly.

"Hey... do you understand human speech? A pervert who is interested in the smell of engine oil? Thank you for not hating my mechanical arm, but if you're in heat, it's better to call a girl."

Fang Chang shook his head, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face affectionately, and showed a smile that he thought was so handsome that it gave him goosebumps.

"I am only interested in you. Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Fang Chang, and I am your husband——"

[Warning: Continuous unceremonious sexual contact, NPC "Dolly"'s current favorability is -100, favorability level: disgust]

[Warning: The favorability level is lower than neutral (-10~10), and the task cannot be triggered. 】

When Fang Chang came to his senses, the glass of lemonade he ordered earlier had been splashed on his face.

Blinking in confusion, Fang Chang stared blankly ahead, and the familiar figure had disappeared.

gone……

"...Is this the feeling of falling out of love? Although I am mentally prepared, it is still a bit heartbreaking."

Twisting his wet bangs back, Fang Chang sighed with a sad look on his face, sat down on the bar stool next to him, and said to the bartender behind the bar.

"A glass of the strongest wine."

The bartender nodded silently, and after a few fussy operations, he magically slapped a crystal glass on the table. In a flash, he struck a match and ignited the highly concentrated wine.

The clear, highly distilled liquor is swaying with light blue foxfire, and the bottom of the cup is filled with spherical ice cubes, like a work of art.

The light blue holographic pop-up window that facilitated the game experience of public beta players also appeared in front of Fang Chang for a while.

[Consumption: 150Y coins]

[Get: Burning Fountain]

[Say: The flames falling from the sky conquered the burning steel, respect the true warriors! (Commemorating the Burning Legion’s conquest of the Heart of Iron)]

[Effect: All attributes -50%, duration 10 minutes. 】

[Note: Do not try this in reality. 】

By the way, at this point in time, the Heart of Steel is still floating in Luoxia Province, right?

But whatever.

Fang Chang smiled nostalgically, inserted the iron straw in the tray into the burning fire, and drank the hot flames and clear liquor in one gulp.

It's an amazing feeling.

It was as if what he drank was not hot liquor, but a warm fire.

"...This is a virtual reality online game, but it even simulates the feeling of being drunk?"

"This feeling of sluggishness is the same as that of the closed beta, but it always feels like something is missing."

Just as Fang Chang was savoring the wonderful feeling, a familiar voice suddenly appeared in front of him.

This person is no one else.

It is the trumpet with a big eye for debt - a small eye for sudden wealth.

"Fang Chang?"

Fang Chang raised his head and glanced at him in surprise.

"Why are you here too?"

Upon hearing this question, "Big Eyes" suddenly showed an embarrassed expression on his face and smiled.

"What do you mean I'm here too? Don't you just know something? When it comes to nostalgic servers, normal people would think of the Queen of the Night Bar in Boulder City, right?"

Since the collapse of the inner city, this bar has disappeared along with the bustling streets outside.

Looking at the big eyes with a "you know" expression, Fang Chang pressed his eyebrows with a headache.

"No...normal people don't have such details. I think it's better for you to apologize to normal people."

"Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense, I know you are noble," Lidou Dayan put his arm on his shoulders, leaned close to his face and winked his eyebrows, "I said, don't you wonder which one is more realistic, the public beta or the closed beta? ”

"...Are you still curious?"

"Normal people would be curious!"

"Hurry up and apologize to a normal person!"

Seeing that this guy looked like he had drunk too much, he folded his arms and sighed, shaking his head and saying.

"No more nonsense, just drink here, I'm going on an adventure."

"Go on, go on," Fang Chang made a driving movement, then suddenly raised his head as if he thought of something and called out to Big Eyes who was about to walk to the second floor, "By the way, have you turned on the accelerator?"

Big eyes froze for a moment.

"Accelerator? What is that? Can't you play with the helmet on?"

Fang Chang's eyes suddenly changed from disgust to care, and his tone became much softer.

"Nothing, it's okay."

Debt-eyed: "...?"
