Chapter 3 Is this guy for real?

All right.

  It turns out that I misunderstood.

   There are indeed "five" rewards from the blind box.

  The system does not do such immoral things as "swallowing equipment", and there is indeed no such thing as "thank you for your patronage".

   However, the prize from the fifth blind box was overwhelmed by the other four prizes...

   At the moment, what was placed in front of Chu Guang was a vacuum-packed compressed biscuit with a net weight of 100g, and three lollipops with a net weight of 25g—apple, banana, and mango flavors.

   And, a note.

  The packaging of the compressed biscuits is intact, without bulges. Although the shelf life and production date are a mystery, it should not kill anyone.

   This thing is a good thing.

  The calories marked on the ingredient list are 500 calories, whether it is eaten dry or boiled into a mush, it can fill the stomach.

  As for lollipops, although they are not low in calories, they do not provide satiety.

  However, for Chu Guang who was so poor that he was about to gnaw on the bark, it was already very good.

   By the way, this system is too stingy. I was afraid that he would be too full or something, so I sent him with this little thing.

   Standing next to the delivery port, Chu Guang stuffed the food into the backpack he was carrying, then picked up the note sent out by the conveyor belt, opened it and took a look.

   There are some words written on it, in the language of this world.

  【... Is there any creature in this world more suitable to be a leek than a player?

  They not only have exuberant curiosity, but are always full of enthusiasm, face difficulties and rise to difficulties, and will not despair in the immediate predicament. Of course, the most important thing is that they can even consider issues from the perspective of operators and help operators harvest themselves together!

   Packaging this set up as a game is a genius of mine!

  —The first-generation manager of Vault 404; (Please put this note in the fifth junior blind box, this is an easter egg I left for my successor!)]

  Chu Guang: "..."

  To be honest, instead of feeling the slightest surprise of getting an Easter egg, he was even a little speechless.

but…

   What does device mean?

   "Xiao Qi."

   "What's the matter, Master."

   “Did you know the original managers?”

   "I don't know, my main program was only activated when you entered the shelter. According to the records in the shelter database, it was more than a century ago that the previous manager handed over the operation authority."

   Chu Guang continued to ask.

   "What year exactly?"

  Xiao Qi replied.

   "January 1, 2157."

  The war ended in 2129, and human civilization entered the Wasteland Era. 2157 is the 28th year of the Wasteland Era.

  From now...

  183 years!

  Chu Guang has been very sensitive to numbers since he was a child, especially this kind of key information. He basically remembers it and will not forget it easily.

"That is to say, the first-generation managers 183 years ago invented this device capable of projecting the consciousness of the parallel world onto clones and packaged it into a game, but for some reason they have not used the device. ?"

   Maybe because of nuclear winter.

   Or for other reasons, the refuge did not meet the activation conditions.

  In any case, people who lived a hundred years ago should have died no matter how you think about it.

  Xiao Qi said.

"probably."

   "What's his name? The first-generation manager."

  Chu Guang was suddenly curious about his identity.

  The person who came up with those bad taste settings is not necessarily a genius, but the person who can invent such a powerful black technology after the decline of civilization, the word genius is no longer enough to describe him.

  Project the consciousness body of the parallel world to the original plane, and put it into the clone as a container.

  Chu Guang couldn't imagine how this was done.

  Technology beyond cognition is no different from magic to him.

   "I don't know. There is no detailed information about him in the known database. Could it be deleted?"

   "Forget it... asking you is like asking for nothing."

   Chu Guang was slightly disappointed, but not discouraged.

  Currently, the refuge has only been unlocked to the B1 floor.

  As the mission continues to advance, the secrets buried in this refuge will one day show the whole picture in front of him.

   Stuffing the note into the drawer of the computer desk, Chu Guang tightened his backpack.

   Noticing his movement, Xiao Qi, who was squatting in the corner, asked.

   "Master, are you leaving?"

  The voice without ups and downs sounds pitiful.

   "Well, the player will log in three days later. It doesn't make any sense for me to continue guarding here. Why don't you go back and prepare."

  This place is said to be a refuge, but there is no food or drink.

  Chu Guang now only has half a palm-sized biscuit and half a bottle of water left on him, as well as the compressed biscuits and lollipops he just bought with reward points.

   This supply can last for less than three days.

  He is in a nearby survivor colony, and he has a simple den with some supplies and useful tools in it.

  Chu Guang intends to go back and clean up, and slowly pick up everything he can bring.

   From now on, this will be his new base.

   "By the way, Xiaoqi."

   "What's wrong master?"

   "I need you to do me a favor."

   After a pause, Chu Guang continued.

   "Our official website is too simple, I need you to add a forum function, information, and picture book function to it, can it be done?"

   Simply put, he wants players to know more about this "game".

   It is a bit difficult to fool people into a pit with just one mouth, at least you have to do superficial skills.

   "Of course, you have the editing authority of the official website. In addition to the game reservation page, you can add additional subpages or make changes to existing pages."

   "Very well, then I will leave it to you."

"I will handle it!"

  Xiao Qi seemed very happy with the task assigned to him by the master, and even raised the volume of the speaker by half a decibel.

   Of course, this may also be Chu Guang's own misunderstanding.

   "Master, when will you be back?"

   Chu Guang thought for a while and said.

   "Three days at the latest."

   "Maybe by tomorrow night if all goes well."

  …

  In this world, there are clubs of cattle and horses.

  The old man named "Guang" disappeared after throwing the website link. I don't know if he went offline or hid aside to spy on the screen.

   Originally, the topic of "fully immersive virtual reality games" was almost over, but a few minutes ago, the old brother's show operation in the small group brought back the topic in the large group.

  Quit smoking: [Fuck me, is this guy for real? 】

   This smoking cessation is also an active group member who often bubbles, although it is not management.

  Baiju Guochao: [Well, after you ordered the appointment, he created a small group, including several of our group managers. (scratches head)]

  Bai Ju Guochao is the leader of the group, so naturally he is also in that small group.

  Hearing this, the group members instantly boiled.

【Depend on! Shady! 】

  【Do you know the name of the company Brother Guang joined? I want to report his PY transaction! (funny)】

  【Just kidding, return the company! Last year, there was a company in cancer stocks that was engaged in VR, and the boss was imprisoned for losing money! The current trend is no longer VR! 】

  【Talk down and discuss, Aguang might be spying on the screen. (funny)】

  【What do you think he is planning? Just for a joke? 】

  【Ghost knows, it might be to lure you brothers to the spinach website, and cut leeks when there are too many people! 】

  【I don't think this guy is a good thing! Well done. 】

  The topic is gradually losing momentum.

   It even rises to personal attacks.

  Ye Wei frowned, and was about to say something when he saw the group leader stepping on the brakes.

   (Mute the whole group)

  Baiju Guochao: [Everyone, don’t do this, the new group members may not know Ah Guang, he is still pretty good, but his marksmanship is a little off, his eyes are a little blind, and he’s a little lackluster, but everything else is fine. 】

  To Japan, Fang Chang: [Indeed, I believe that Ah Guang did not go astray and engage in spinach. We are not sure now, whether he has been hacked. If yes, our management team will deal with this. After a while, I withdrew all the news, let's change the subject. (laugh)】

   (Release group mute)

  The group owner and management all came out to speak out, and everyone stopped talking about this topic in a face-saving manner, and soon strayed to the European Cup.

  Ye Wei doesn’t watch football, at least he doesn’t watch football.

   I glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the screen, it was already 18:00, and it happened to be lunch time.

   Uploaded the unfinished homework to the cloud disk, Ye Wei pushed away the chair and got up, went downstairs to the cafeteria and ordered a spicy chicken fried rice, and ate it happily.

  When he leisurely returned to the dormitory, he saw the cardboard box on the table, and he was stunned for a moment.

express delivery?

   "Ah Wei, what did you buy? Such a big thing?"

  The buddies in the dormitory came over, and the other two animals also focused their attention here.

   Everyone is a quality person.

  Before, Ye Wei was not in the dormitory, so it was not easy to touch his things. Now that people are back, it doesn't matter.

  They were all curious, what did this guy buy.

   "I didn't buy anything... Who sent this stuff?"

   The three roommates met at a glance.

"I did not notice…"

   "I didn't notice either."

   "I don't know, I just went to get takeaway."

Hey.

   It's evil!

  Usually the courier delivery is delivered to the courier station downstairs in the dormitory, but today it was delivered to the door.

   What was even more sinister was that Ye Wei wondered which seat he was sitting in, since he didn't write in the online shopping address.

  Are all the courier boys so awesome?

   Open the cardboard box, and there is a helmet lying inside.

  The shape of this thing is very similar to that of a motorcycle helmet. It is painted black inside and out, and it looks ugly.

   If there is something special about it, I am afraid that there is no front face, and the whole head can be covered when worn, and nothing can be seen at all.

  At first glance, Ye Wei thought it was a pot.

   "What the **** is this?"

  The buddy at the next table picked up the helmet and fiddled with it, put it on his head, took it off again, and returned it to Ye Wei in a daze.

   "You ask me, who do I ask."

   Is it really a pot?

  Ye Wei also tried to put it on his head with a confused face.

   The field of vision is pitch black.

  However, just as he was about to take it off, a beam of light blue light suddenly penetrated the darkness and reflected into his retina.

  【Waiting for game activation: 71 hours and 19 minutes】

this…

   Could it be that gaming helmet? !

   Fuck.

  Is the delivery speed so fast?

  Ye Wei was completely dumbfounded.

   "Didn't you all see it?"

  Take off the helmet, Ye Wei looked at the roommate who was wearing the helmet just now.

  However, that roommate also looked at him in a daze.

   "See what?"

  Ye Wei hurriedly said: "That countdown! It says waiting for the game to activate!"

   "What? Can this thing be a game console?"

   "Get out of the way, Brother Liu's eyes are bad, let me take a look."

  Another roommate took the helmet and put it on, but after a while, he took it off just like the previous one in a daze.

"No."

"I come."

   Now the three roommates tried it all, and without exception, they saw nothing.

  Looking at each other, they both looked at Ye Wei with weird expressions.

"brother."

  Ye Wei: "...What?"

   "Why don't you go to the hospital to have a look?"

"roll!"

  Ye Wei snatched the helmet cursingly, and put it on again in disbelief.

  The small light blue characters arrived as expected.

  【Waiting for game activation: 71 hours and 17 minutes】

  The countdown has advanced by 2 minutes.

not only…

   At this moment, he suddenly discovered that no matter how he turned the helmet, the countdown line would always appear in the center of his field of vision.

  Even if he closes his eyes.

  Ye Wei took off his helmet and looked like he saw a ghost.

   What the hell?

   I really saw a ghost!
