real world.

  Zhanlan Federation, gorgeous city.

  A hollow composite metal tube stands on the side of the road. Through the tempered glass, one can vaguely see the complex and sophisticated electronic circuit board embedded inside, and some kind of beam emitting device.

  The humming sound continued.

  The metal tube projected a holographic indicator box, with three place names and directions marked on it, and the largest font in the middle was golden yellow, which was "Wildcat Street".

  There are many pedestrians on the road, looking down at the personal terminal embedded in the arm while walking, or enjoying the short video on the holographic projection screen, or browsing the game forum of "Secret Age".

  At the corner of the street, in a bar called "Mechanical Bride".

  The ears are filled with noisy but rhythmic dynamic electronic music, and some fancy-dressed, even over-modified young people are swinging wantonly on the dance floor.

  Like a group of short-circuiting twitching robots.

  In a quieter corner, everyone from the Polaris team gathered offline.

   "Brother Dong, tell me, do you have any new gossip?"

  With tattoos on his face and a mechanical structure on his neck, the yellow-haired young dog-head Jin asked.

There is a circular interface behind his ear, connected to the data cable, and so are the rest of the people. A dozen data cables finally converge to the square device on the table. This is a device for communication, which can isolate the bar noise.

"No."

  The elegant young man wearing glasses shook his head.

   "The version update this time is too sudden, and I don't know what's going on inside the Hall of Heroes..."

  Everyone looked at Chen Xi again, and this long-waved lady Yu also shook her head, sending out a message:

   "Including the three major guilds, all the guilds actually don't have the so-called intelligence."

   "That's really weird..."

  Wei Yin was wearing a luxurious princess dress, and her emerald green short ear-length hair was extremely eye-catching under the light.

   "But the guild behind you should have instructions?"

  Dongyang, Chenxi and Goutoujin nodded.

  "No matter how the version changes, you can't go wrong following Jack, after all, he has been determined to be one of the most important plot characters."

   "Abei, where are you? Have you received Jack's instructions before going offline? Maybe there are some hints for the next version..."

   Su Keying, who had long pink hair and was wearing a loose sweater, asked.

  A star-shaped earring hangs on her left ear, looking youthful and beautiful.

  Polaris is an unattractive young man, but his pair of resolute eyes are particularly impressive.

  He only wore a simple black T-shirt today, with a ring printed in the middle and the letter "J" in cursive. This is the limited edition game peripheral that has been sold recently. Polaris grabbed more than a dozen different models at that time.

   Picking up the wine glass, Polaris took a sip of the ice-blue cocktail, and fell silent for a few seconds before saying:

   "Indeed, the message I received was just one sentence..."

   "One sentence?!"

  Everyone was very surprised.

  Polaris nodded and looked up at his friends.

   "He said, 'You and I will both face a fateful choice'."

"ah?"

"What does it mean?"

  The team members all looked puzzled.

"I am not sure as well."

   Polaris whispered.

   "However, I have a hunch that the next version will be difficult, far more difficult than the previous two versions... But we will all shine."

   "We are quite famous now... After all, we have dominated the list for so long."

  Gou Toujin rubbed his iron chin and raised his eyebrows.

   "My Gouzi brother is also famous in the game circle!"

   Several girls rolled their eyes.

  The bald man with the maroon single ponytail even picked up a little sparkling water with a straw and flicked it over.

  Polaris shook his head and tapped the metal table with his fingers.

   "I mean, we will not only be famous in the game circle, but also in real life..."

"ah?"

  Everyone looked at each other.

   "Brother Beizi, your intuition...well, it's really strange."

  The Dragon King scratched his head.

  He has mainstream long and broken hair, even covering his left eye, and his mouth is painted with black lip gloss, which looks very in line with the trend of the gorgeous city.

   "I don't know why, anyway, this intuition is very strong."

  Polaris took a deep breath with a serious expression on his face.

   "A Bei, you are bringing the 'spiritual intuition' to reality, right?"

  Goutoujin joked.

  Others also smiled.

   "The game is a game, let's make it clear... Some time ago, there were players who were bewildered and couldn't distinguish reality. They thought they were superhumans and went to rob, and then they were shot and killed by the mobile unit of the Armed Division in the street."

  Dongyang reminded me tactfully.

  Polaris glanced at him and shook his head with a smile.

   He raised a toast to the cocktail, took a sip, and said:

   "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."

   Several people chatted for a while.

  The topic ranged from the latest electronic products of the Flash Eagle Group, to the adult black technology of the Amnesia Dancer Group, and from "Virtual Girlfriend" to the annual report of the consortium.

   "Fuck!"

  At this time, there was a sudden sound of surprise from the next table.

  Polaris and others heard the sound and looked, and found a young man standing up from his chair with an excited expression on his face.

   Several people were a little puzzled, and then heard the young man shouting again:

   "The server is opened! The server is opened!"

   Immediately, the young man couldn't wait to leave his seat, squeezed through the crowd, and ran out of the bar.

   Polaris and others jumped in their hearts.

  Now more than 80% of the people in the game circle are playing "Secret Age", what does the young man mean by "opening the server" is self-evident...

   "The update is complete, version 3.0 has been confirmed to be online!"

  Su Keying was the fastest. She logged onto the game forum immediately, and after confirming it, she quickly told everyone the good news.

   "Go! Go back! Let's get on the phone and talk!"

  Dongyang stood up and said vigorously.

   Everyone paid with their personal terminals and hurried out of the bar.

  At this moment, they found that there were already many hurried pedestrians on the street, with eager expressions on their faces.

  Looked at each other, and they said goodbye briefly, and each left in a suspension vehicle...

  Polaris returned home, greeted grandma who was watching TV, then plunged into his room, opened the sleeping cabin and lay down in it.

  【User "Polaris" requests access to...】

  【The game "The Age of Mysteries" is being connected...】

【connection succeeded! 】

  【Data is loading...】

  【Loading successfully! 】

  嗡—

  Polaris walked to the kerosene lamp with ease, and read his character [Polaris LV115] in front of the full-length mirror.

  Boom!

  He suddenly felt a whirlwind.

   In the ear, a familiar and holy female voice sounded:

   "At the end of January 4423 in the solar calendar, Jack Speight, the deputy speaker of the Generous Parliament, summoned the undead strangers to attack the depths of the spiritual world in an all-round way, intending to remove the source of dark pollution in one fell swoop..."

  Polaris recognized that the voice was none other than Sun Princess Anna Trisul.

  When he opened his eyes again, the new version of the CG screen came into view.

  Dark…

  Boundless darkness.

   Countless swarms of insects swept from the sky. In the front, the thin golden figure stood in front of him, raising his broken sword and swinging it horizontally.

when-

  White light accompanied by scorching air waves, countless Didak bugs died tragically.

  Polaris discovered that this was exactly what happened at the end of the darkness before.

  Even, from an over-the-shoulder perspective, he saw himself on the high platform, and beside him stood the members of the Polaris team, the rest of the high-ranking players, councilors, and circus cadres.

  The voice of Anna, who is the narrator, continued:

   "The source of turmoil in the spiritual world, the father of the ancient god's darkness, Distordak, at the end of the darkness, had an earth-shattering battle with the guardian of the sun..."

  The screen changes.

  The pitch-black figures of the three heads fought fiercely with the golden figure of the steel wings, the brilliance was wanton, and the piercing sound waves shook the screen.

  At this time, Jack, who was on the edge of the battle, was suddenly given a frontal close-up.

   His face was calm, a round of infinity symbols appeared in the deep eyes under the brim of the hat, and the black card in his hand flashed away.

  The dark figure was immediately cut into countless parts, and then returned to its original state. The surrounding crystals took advantage of the void and covered it.

   Scorching Sun took the opportunity to transform into a giant sheep-headed God of War, held up the golden red beheading sword and slashed down, cutting the figure of the father of darkness in half—

  Boom!

   "With the help of Jack Speight, the father of darkness was killed, the pollution was eliminated, and the world's disaster was eliminated..."

  The black star hanging in the sky shattered, and the picture trembled endlessly.

  Polaris watched the CG silently, even if he revisited it, he felt passionate.

   But at this moment, he suddenly frowned.

  Because the narration changed the topic, Anna's voice became cold:

   "However, the young dragon slayer eventually became a dragon... After the fall of the father of darkness, Jack Speight, the initiator of the counterattack, failed to overcome his inner desire and chose to inherit the power of the father of darkness..."

  Polaris looked surprised.

  He saw in the picture, two black illusory substances flew out of the scorching sun's hand and fell into Jack's hand.

  In the shattered dark star, a golden dragon soared out and landed in front of Jack.

   Later, Jack touched the dragon's head with his hand.

   "The present world is once again facing the danger of extinction, but this time, it will be more dangerous..."

  Anna's voice rose high.

  In the picture, Jack is wearing a black top hat, under the brim of the hat, on his handsome face, there are a pair of eyes that are extremely far-reaching.

   There was a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.

   "Jack Speight, who has mastered a new power, has become the master of the spirit world, and he is also the king of the new era!"

  Polaris' expression was gradually shocked.

  The screen is full of bullet screens, all of which are all "fucking".

   "Jack is the final boss?!"

   "Mommy! My mommy!"

   "Zhuo Zhuo Zhuo Zhuo!"

   "That prophet, come out to me, I will kill him severely!"

   "The previous two versions of the savior, now you tell me, what the **** has become the villain?!"

  Boom!

  The screen changes.

  Jack's black curly mid-length hair danced wildly in the wind, a rusty iron crown on his head, and a white shawl on his shoulders fluttering. He held up his ivory white scepter, with a solemn face, and shouted:

   "I am the man of destiny!"

  嗡—

  The screen goes black.

  When Polaris opened his eyes again, he found himself back on the streets of Wangcheng.

  He failed to recover for a long time, maintaining an expression of disbelief.

   In the ear, Jack's voice still echoed.

   "Mr. Jack, it's the final boss..."
