interstellar involution king

Chapter 124 The Chosen Corridor

In the game world of "Ruins", a ragged rookie fell to the ground.

The so-called ruins are the broken star field after a star war.

In this star field, the planets are completely polluted by radiation, the space city is completely shattered, the wreckage of spaceships and warships are floating everywhere in space, and the corpses of astronauts floating and rolling around in space are often seen.

The place of birth of the newcomer is inside a dilapidated space city, a certain urban area that retains some life support functions.

The newcomer is naturally Lin Yuan.

After landing, he looked around and found that there are indeed many people playing this game. New players are constantly being born, while old players are everywhere. Spaceships are constantly landing in the space city, and spaceships are constantly taking off and leaving.

Lin Yuan landed here, naturally not to play games.

Just because Lan Feng said that there is a secret entrance to 'heaven' in "The Ruins".

With a slight squint of the eyes, the whole world in front of him has transformed into a basic data flow.

Data constitutes the basic structure of the world, and permissions indicate the operating rules of the data.

Lin Yuan is a player account with extremely low game authority.Under normal circumstances, he can only honestly follow the game company's settings.

But Lin Yuan is certainly not a normal player.

He ran to a remote place, and quietly modified his game permissions based on the information provided by Lan Feng.

A few minutes later, he had the authority of the world administrator, and he was still anonymous.

At this time, he was still dressed in rags, but when he thought about it, a high-tech space suit appeared on his body out of thin air, and when he thought about it again, an interstellar high-speed warship appeared out of thin air in the open space around him.

After obtaining the battleship, Lin Yuan boarded the battleship, flew away from Xinshou Village, and entered the virtual space.

While flying, Lin Yuan continued to check the data flow of the ruined world.

Looking at it, his gaze traveled through 1 light minute and settled on a player.

This player already has his own spaceship, and he is fighting fiercely with a mutant beast on the surface of a barren planet.

'Player: Zhang Fan, a level 3 captain, owns a small Falcon battleship. '

'The reality is that they live in Shahe City, which is closely connected with Parrot Island where the Blood Moon Sect is located.Living alone, an otaku, usually relying on selling game supplies in exchange for star crystals. '

'Without personality, severe social phobia, no friends, and no contact with parents for many years. '

'A game fanatic, except for eating, drinking and messing around, the rest of the time is spent in "The Ruins". '

The above conditions fully met the selection criteria of the Blood Moon Sect, and in fact, he was indeed targeted.

Lin Yuan clearly saw a cloud of ghostly data behind Zhang Fan.

This group of 'ghosts' has very high authority, second only to the world administrator, and is in an invisible state. He can see the player, but the player cannot see him, nor can he feel his existence.

After staring at the 'ghost' for a while and analyzing it, Lin Yuan came to a conclusion: 'It is a ghost, but its origin cannot be determined for the time being. '

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Ghost didn't realize that he was being watched by Lin Yuan. He surrounded Zhang Fan and sent some strange information to Zhang Fan's data link from time to time.

This information can be expressed in various forms on the hardware, it may be a piece of weird music, or it may be one or two low-pitched, hallucinatory whispers, or simply some meaningless notes.

It can be seen that Zhang Fan occasionally has some doubts, but most of the time he is not affected, and his full attention is on the mutant beast.

Killed one, searched for materials, then went to find the next one, and then continued to fight, seemingly endlessly.

After thinking for a while, Lin Yuan flew over with his warship and landed slowly not far from Zhang Fan.

As soon as it landed, a signal from Zhang Fan came from the battleship: "Hey, newcomer, I don't want to cause trouble, but you'd better not mess with me either."

The voice was dry and hard, like a cold steamed bun overnight.

After saying this, Zhang Fan continued to focus on hunting without saying a word.

And Lin Yuan knew that he worked so hard not for the fun of the game, but simply for life.

On average, you can get 40 star crystals a day.

40 star crystals can make people alive in Yuegang, but they are only alive.

And this is the status quo of many ordinary people in Yuegang.

In the virtual world created by another group of humans, doing repetitive mechanical labor, living a life without dignity, hope, and sense of accomplishment.

Their world is gray.

Lin Yuan didn't speak, and didn't disembark from the battleship, but just kept a close eye on the soul sender, looking for an opportunity.While the other party was not paying attention, a piece of code was entered into the consciousness of the soul sender.

After finishing, he drove the battleship away from the surface of the planet, returned to space, and waited patiently.

About half an hour later, the soul sender finished his day's hypnosis. He left Zhang Fan's side and flew towards a certain hidden area in the game world at an extremely fast speed.

Almost instantly, he crossed 20 light minutes and came to the other end of the game world.

This can be regarded as faster than the speed of light, but it is only in the virtual world.

Of course Lin Yuan would too.

Following the instructions sent back by the code, Lin Yuan's thoughts flashed, and his body disappeared into the battleship. A moment later, he also appeared 20 light minutes away.

He found that he was standing in a pure white empty corridor, the corridor stretched out all the way, and there was no end in sight, and on both sides of the corridor, there were one closed door after another.

"The Promenade of the Chosen One, all the way to the end is the entrance to 'Heaven'. Interesting."

He knew that this place seemed magnificent, but in the real world, it was nothing more than a card reader array filled with memory cards, and the occupied area might not be as big as a toilet.

Lin Yuan was not in a hurry to find the entrance to heaven. Following the guidance of the code signal, he came to a door and knocked lightly.

Soon, a slightly nervous voice came from inside the door: "Who?"

The voice is immature, it is a boy.

Lin Yuan's heart moved, and he responded in a deep voice: "The person who came to save you."

After saying these words, there was a rush of footsteps in the door.

A few seconds later, the door of the room opened a crack, revealing a timid and expectant immature face behind the crack, it was a boy under 20 years old.

After seeing Lin Yuan, the hope on his face instantly turned into panic: "I don't know you! Who are you?"

Lin Yuan didn't answer, but pushed hard, squeezed into the room, and then closed the door tightly with his backhand: "Tell me, what's your name?"

The boy shrank to the corner in horror: "Jiang Wei. My name is Jiang Wei."

A very common name, coupled with the same performance as a normal person, shows that the former soul sender was also an ordinary person.

Lin Yuan asked again: "Why do you help the game company to harm people?"

Jiang Wei shouted uncontrollably: "I don't want to! But they said, only in this way can I be free and I can go home! If I don't do it, they will kill me! They will really kill me! There are already Many, many people were killed!"

"who are they?"

"People from Gemini Game Company."

"But how did you go home? Don't you know that you don't even have a body?"

"No, I have a body. My body is in the hands of the game company. They said that as long as I bring back 100 companions, they will let me go back into the body."

"Oh~~ naive!"

With this kind of extremely immature technology, turning a person into a soul-absorbing person depends on luck. How could it be possible to bring the soul-absorbing person back into a flesh and blood body?
In fact, this is an irreversible operation at all, even for the Red Star Alliance.

So, it's a lie.

These souls can't go back to the past at all, they are just free laborers imprisoned in the virtual world.

Lin Yuan asked again: "Are there people in the other rooms?"

"Basically, there are people living there."

"Do they all want to go back to the body too?"

Jiang Wei shook his head: "Not all, at least most people don't want to go back."

"why?"

"Because the people in the company said that if we stand the test and become the chosen ones, we can enter heaven. I have seen heaven, and it is indeed very beautiful inside."

"So, you also yearn for heaven?"

"Of course. Who doesn't yearn for heaven?"

"why?"

"Because life in heaven is carefree, living in a luxury house, driving a luxury car, having a decent job, being respected, needed, and loved! Unlike reality, worrying about food every day, always worrying about not being able to afford it He was kicked out of his residence because of the rent, and he had to worry about being shot to death when he went out.”

Lin Yuan's words seemed to touch the pain in Jiang Wei's heart, and he began to vomit bitterness.

"In the real world, I have worked really hard. But I just can't find a decent job. No one wants me, no one wants to help me, and no one cares about my life. For the world , My existence is meaningless. Many times, I think, why should I go back? Actually, it’s not bad now.”

Lin Yuan was silent.

The Nanli Starfield is heavily involuntary, and smart machines have replaced most of the manpower, and there are actually fewer and fewer jobs.

As a result, those who master the production machinery have massive wealth, while the vast majority of ordinary people are struggling to survive and waiting for social relief.

And once the relief system fails, like Yuegang, it becomes the intersection of heaven and hell.

Therefore, the abyssal souls have the soil to make waves.

But, does paradise really exist in the virtual world?
"You just said that if you don't do it, the game company will kill you? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Jiang Wei's eyes suddenly showed a deep look of horror: "Yes, I saw with my own eyes that their bodies suddenly exploded. It's like a balloon exploding with a 'bang'."

After hearing this description, Lin Yuan understood everything.

Dissociative electromagnetic life itself is very fragile, especially the electromagnetic life transformed by immature technology, the consciousness body is very unstable.

Even if you do nothing, the conscious body may suddenly disintegrate.

And only a very few lucky ones have a relatively stable consciousness structure by accident, so they will not die suddenly.

Therefore, the so-called test in the mouth of the game company is just a random selection.
