interstellar involution king

Chapter 136 Is it true?Is it phantom?
On this day, Yuegang was divided as usual.

In low-level urban areas, gangsters are doing illegal and shady activities in dark corners, while countless civilians are struggling to survive in the cramped, dark, and smelly buildings on the ground floor.

In the mid-level city, the white-collar elites are busy, but they are trembling, walking on thin ice, not daring to relax at all, for fear of falling into hell because of a mistake.

In the high-end urban area, the rich and powerful enjoy the prosperity and comfort of Yuegang, or are intoxicated by the abundance of material goods, or are strategizing, brewing decisions that will affect the fate of countless people.

Today's Yuegang has the same ordinary start as in the past.

But today's Yuegang is destined to be included in the history books of Nanli Starfield.

Few people realize this, and many times, the general public is ignorant when events that have truly profound impacts first occur.

Just like when Newton proposed universal gravitation and Einstein introduced the theory of relativity, on this day, the term space-time will be interpreted in a new dimension.

Nanli standard time, nine o'clock in the morning.

On Parrot Island, the power consumption of the hope building suddenly appeared a steep peak.

The engineers of Ark Electric looked at the astonishing power load and were surprised by the horrible energy consumption of a game company.

Although the maintenance engineers of the city's constant temperature system were notified early, when the cooling system faced a terrible load, they were still trembling with fright, calling it the most severe challenge encountered in the past century.

Some of them even mistakenly thought that a nuclear bomb had been detonated on Parrot Island.

The people from SPD didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. They closely monitored the operation of the Hope Building, and if they found any signs of threatening the safety of the city, they would immediately cut off the energy supply.

Fortunately, I hope that the company is fully prepared. Although it looks scary, all systems have survived and are still running smoothly.

The strategy of high redundancy makes every related system have a strong anti-risk ability.

So, at [-] o'clock in the morning, "Ace Captain OL" opened on time!
The game players in Yuegang have been waiting for a long time.

At this moment, whether it is an otaku living in a leaky rental house in a low-level urban area, or a rich kid with nothing to do in a high-end urban area, they all landed in the same world.

And in this world, they have the same starting point, and they enjoy the same beautiful environment.

Unlike most of the excellent virtual games in Yuegang, "Captain Ace OL" is completely free. There is neither a one-time buyout threshold nor a fee based on the online time.

You can be online 24 hours a day if you want and hope the company won't charge you a penny.

As a result, the number of players who flooded into the game world when the server was opened reached an astonishing 4000 million.

Anyway, there is no fee to log in, no matter the game is good or bad, there are a lot of players who come to watch the fun, because of the gimmick of virtual reality technology and the name of guardian knight Lin Yuan.

The self-proclaimed wind chasers who wish to lick the dog are naturally the first players to enter the game.

When logging in for the first time, players can freely choose transportation routes such as sea, air, subway, and highway to enter Mingyue Continent.

And no matter what mode you choose, the game will give the player a novice electric car for free.

After thinking about it, Chaser chose the highway, and he drove his electric car all the way to Mingyue Continent.

The highway is very spacious, built underground, with 20 lanes in both directions, and 10 floors up and down, but even so, the traffic on the road is quite heavy.

But luckily there was no traffic jam.

Chasing the wind was driving an electric car. Feeling the mediocre performance of the electric car, he couldn't help smiling: "Ha, the cheapest electric car is actually quite fun to drive."

The most amazing thing is that everyone on the road is driving an electric car with the same performance, the only difference is the shape and color.

This feeling of everyone standing on the same starting point is particularly interesting.

It didn't take long to log in. After driving for about 1 minute, the underground tunnel came to an end, and a bright light appeared ahead.

The exit is right in front of you, and a line of luminous characters appears in the air.

"Dear friends, the prosperous and beautiful Mingyue Continent is just around the corner, please enjoy your adventures in the new world."

With these words, the electric car drove out of the tunnel and entered a vast plain.

The first thing that catches the eye is a magnificent three-dimensional city on the distant skyline.

The tallest building in the city soars into the sky, and the interior of the city is full of green trees, while a network of three-dimensional traffic tracks is interspersed between the buildings, like vines clinging to big trees.

When the wind chaser looked up, glowing characters appeared in the air again: "Moon Capital, City of Paradise."

"Tsk tsk, what a magnificent city!"

But the wind chaser soon discovered that the magnificent city was only a small part of Mingyue Continent.

There are many villages and towns around the city, and the plains are covered with lakes, forests, mountains and other beautiful natural landscapes.

These are all part of the world, and every unique landscape is connected into a whole by the extensive transportation network.

At a glance, it is actually endless.

Seeing all this, Chaser was a little shocked: "Hey~~ It really has a bit of the style of the New World." '

What moved his heart the most was that this new continent was so beautiful. The blue sky, clear rivers, and dense forests were all full of vitality, exuding a heart-pounding beauty.

In contrast, Moon Harbor is like a large steel cage.

Chaser drove the car and continued to experience this beautiful new continent.

A feeling soon emerged: delicate ~ amazingly delicate.

The details are so rich that it is almost the same as the real world.

It can be seen that Hope Company has carved this continent with great care.

This is very good, it is one of the top existences in the same kind of virtual games, but if it is only this level, it is not very interesting.

Chaser doesn't really like playing games. He loves cars, but he can't get the car he wants in reality, so he has to look for it in the virtual world.

If "Ace Captain OL" can't meet his request, then he will leave soon.

But soon, the wind chaser discovered another anomaly.

He felt like he was driving a real car.

The feedback from the steering wheel, the slight vibration of the road, the touch of the seat to the back and hip, the music from the car stereo, the sunlight shining into the car, and even the reflection in the rearview mirror, there is not even a single flaw. .

This is unusual.

In order to attack the ace captain, he installed a demon-level chip in his brain, and his eyes were high-refresh and high-resolution, but even so, he still failed to find a sense of disobedience.

Such a sense of reality reminded him of the virtual test drive on Hope's official website some time ago, which was many times more realistic than that virtual test drive.

It has reached a point where it is invulnerable, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and even the laws of physics have been simulated in all directions.

"how is this possible?!"

'Gaz~'

The Chaser stepped on the brakes, the tires rubbed, and the inertia of the car body leaning forward was exactly the same as in the real world.

He parked the car on the side of the road and tried to open the hood.

'click~'

The hood was opened, and the power components of the electric car were underneath.

"The driving motor, electronic control module, coupler, cooling unit, and semiconductor air conditioner are all the same! Isn't this too delicate?"

He tried to touch the parts with his hands.

The touch is extremely delicate, and there are even step changes in temperature, it is still difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Chaser was even more shocked: "I'm not driving a real car, am I? I hope the company won't give me an electric car for free, right?"

Although it is only the cheapest electric car, but so many people are online, it is a huge amount of money to send one by hand.

This is impossible.

That can only be attributed to virtual reality technology.

"So virtual reality is not a gimmick, but a real technological breakthrough?"

He vaguely remembered that the game introduction said that in addition to the vehicles, the road system in the game and the items within [-] meters near the road also all use virtual reality technology.

So, the wind chaser ran to the side of the road and picked up a piece of wet mud.

With a pinch of force, the clods of mud shattered into mud powder, which clustered down along the crevices of the fingers, and there was a smell of earth in the nose.

He has never smelled the smell of earth in the real world, but he has seen a dream movie, and he has a similar experience in the movie, and the smell of earth in front of him is the same as in the dream movie.

He even saw an earthworm wriggling and running in the soil.

Holding back the nausea, he picked up the earthworm, and there was a cold and damp wriggling sensation between his fingers, and the wind chaser suddenly got goosebumps all over his body, and hurriedly threw the earthworm out.

After the earthworm landed on the ground, it squirmed a few times in the wet mud after the rain, burrowed into the soft soil and disappeared.

"I'm not in a dream movie, am I?"

But the dream movie can only be watched passively, and cannot actively participate in it.

Chasing the wind can't describe the feeling in his heart at this moment.

After dazed for a while on the side of the road, he returned to the car, started it, drove, and drove all the way.

The more he drove, the more confused he became. The boundary between real and false has been completely blurred. In a trance, he felt that he had really arrived in a new continent.

Suddenly, he remembered something, parked the car again, clicked on the main control computer of the car, connected to the star network, and entered Hope's online shopping mall.

Sure enough, he found a sales page for virtual items in the mall.

There are a lot of items on the sales page, covering almost everything about electric vehicles and rail cars.Whether parts or complete vehicles, you can find the corresponding items.

"Why are there so many parts? Can I still build my own car?"

The wind chaser became more and more confused.

Then, he saw the virtual egret, which sold for 300 star crystals.

300, he could bear it, and bought one on impulse.

The system returns information: "Your egret is in production, it is expected to be completed in 10 minutes, and will be delivered to your side in 5 minutes."

The wind chaser was startled, and asked: "It's just a virtual item, shouldn't it be put in my package directly? Or send it to me by mail?"

The system replied: "Sorry, this item is made with virtual reality technology, it cannot be created out of thin air, and data compression cannot be performed. It must be produced and assembled by a virtual factory and delivered in kind."

"What do you mean, I bought a real egret for 300?"

The system replied: "Correction: It is a virtual egret. This item has 99.99% of the physical properties of a real egret, but it is only used internally in "Captain Ace Online."

Chaser didn't understand, but he was looking forward to it more and more.

After waiting for 15 minutes in the torment, he saw a white dot emitting soft light appear in the sky. The white dot moved from far to near, and soon reached the sky above the windchaser, and then began to slowly land beside him.

It's a brand new Egret!
System message: "Your items have been delivered. If you don't need a novice vehicle, you can call the system to recycle it, so as not to occupy road resources."

"Recycle."

How could he have time to deal with novice electric cars.

He walked quickly to Bailu's side, stretched out his hand to caress the car body, just like stroking the skin of a lover.

Open the hood of the car again, look at the sexy and charming 8-array King Tiger engine, inhale gently through the nose, and smell the charming aroma of lubricating oil.

Finally, he entered the compartment, stroking the delicate and soft supramolecular leather, greedily looking at the delicate instrument panel, completely fascinated.

He started the Egret again, and he heard the same engine sound as the real Egret in his ears. The slight vibration at the moment of starting up was like the trembling of a girl when she is touched by a strange man.

Then, lift off, accelerate, do all kinds of cool maneuvers, and all the feedback is so flawless, so impeccable.

And all of this only cost 300 star crystals.

"Ah~~It's so real, it's so wonderful~"

However, just as the wind chaser was intoxicated, a "cruel" reality woke him up.

"Please note that there is only 5% propellant left, please go to the nearest gas station to add propellant in time."

"Note: The current price of propellant is: 0.005 star crystals per kilogram, and it is expected to cost 5 star crystals at full load, and it can last for 980 hours."

The Chaser was stunned: "The virtual car still needs propellant? You still need to spend money to buy it?"

Do you want to add it?

Of course you have to add it!

But at this moment, far from being the only Chaser who discovered the abnormality in Mingyue Continent.

Countless people have fallen into confusion, unable to tell whether the world in front of them is real or illusion.
