The sword of the pinnacle of the country

Chapter 1 The Exiled Master
Before that, I never thought that I would stay away from that virtual world for so long. If it wasn’t for the life in the ivory tower that was almost barren, maybe I would never be exposed to holographic glasses and vr games again.

Three years ago, I was a top player in the game "God Realm" and a leading light swordsman player in the national server, but an unwarranted suspension and penalty completely ruined my career.

You can call me Gu Qingzhu, the light swordsman who used to be famous for a while, but now I live an ordinary college life under the name "Gu Nai".

The injustice and slander came unexpectedly. It has been three years since I received the ban from the professional league and said goodbye to the professional arena. Living a life that doesn't belong to me.

I still can’t forget the day three years ago, at the door of the small red brick building of the youth training camp, the head coach Uncle Liang delivered the envelope containing the suspension notice to me with deep grief and helplessness.

"Uncle Liang."

"Zhuzi, I believe in you, but tell me, have you violated the rules?"

"No..." I just gave such a simple answer. After several months of complaints, nothing was left, leaving me with only the pain of heart and soul.

Uncle Liang shook his head and handed the luggage to me: "I will find a way, but you'd better not have too high expectations, the ban order given by the professional league, I can play a very limited role in it."

"Well, goodbye, thank you for taking care of me all the time." I turned around and pushed open the glass rolling door of the mansion. The weather outside has started to turn cold, and the hot summer is about to pass, and I will leave my own struggle for two years In the "God Realm" professional circle, live the life of ordinary people.

……

Time has changed, and I have long been used to sleeping until the sun is shining brightly. I dragged my lazy body and wandered around the small campus, becoming the most ordinary one among the millions of college students in China.

It was four o'clock in the afternoon when I woke up, and the southern sun was still warm. I half-closed my eyelids and sat up on the bench in the park, feeling a sense of loss and loneliness surged again.

this is life.

How long has it been going on, so aimlessly?

I often think that I may be the kind of person who can only rely on youth and hard work to live. Once I leave the game, I will lose my vitality and enthusiasm.

Shaking his numb legs, he stood up slowly, walked through the familiar streets and alleys, and could see the huge "National" vr game promotional poster almost everywhere.

I stopped for a while and looked up. It was shot against the background of the Far East. Behind the scattered smoke and dust, thousands of horses and thousands of troops were faintly rushing. In the center of the picture, a man and a woman straddled their horses. Lian Wuque and Zhou Zhanshi, star players of the league, are also my familiar teammates in the same period of the youth training. The long swords and staffs in their hands are intertwined, and then there is the dazzling white thunder-shaped characters: The vast land, the country is coming .

"God Realm" can be regarded as the most popular masterpiece of vr games in the past ten years, setting off a wave of popularity across the country.When the relevant development companies look forward to the next ten years, the sequel of "National" is naturally expected to be high, and the industry believes that it will become a new "trend player" in the game market.

I smiled and shook my head. After so many years, I can still clearly remember the appearance of the posters during the public beta of "God Realm", but what happened in the meantime has gradually become blurred to me.

There is no doubt that "God Realm" is the most successful game in this decade. For countless days and nights, tens of thousands of players put on holographic glasses, walked into that mysterious world, and accomplished everything they dared not think and do. , even though I left early and hastily, it is hard to deny that during those young years, "God Realm" as a unique carrier left players with indescribable thoughts.

However, in the later stage of game development, various scandals in professional circles have accelerated the death of the game. It is an unavoidable reality that the game is out of date, but if there is such a game, it will accompany your youth and kill your thoughts , When one day it becomes synonymous with obsolete, this is a kind of loneliness after the end.

However, I didn't. I shook my head violently and smiled, really groaning after waking up.

"Kingdom", as the sequel to "God Realm", revives the vitality of holographic games. When the streets and alleys are full of promotional videos and background versions of "Kingdom", it can be predicted how popular this game will be in the future. kind of degree.

It is said that "Kingdom" is modeled on the basis of 3D real scenes. The map area is wider, the scenery is beautiful, and the gameplay is diverse. The combat is as close to the real world as possible. It is by no means a monster-fighting upgrade in the traditional sense. There are various systems waiting for players to explore and develop .

But this is not what I should think about. Facing the red-orange sunset at the end of the city, I feel sad for the spring and autumn again. How the dinner should end is a new world problem.

……

The night is like a flood, the streets are deserted and undercurrents are surging, among which there are lonely street lights flickering like stars in the night sky.

I took a seat at the food stall.I love the dim lights of the food stalls, the shaking tables and chairs, refreshing beer, and cheap delicacies, and what I love more is the credit allowed by the food stall owner.

"Gu Nai, remember to bring money next time, kid."

In the blink of an eye, passing through three or two traffic lights, I stopped and began to gasp for breath.Damn, it’s just that I forgot to bring my wallet. The hardships and sufferings of life are always revealed at such times.

At this moment, the noisy electronic ringtone of the mobile phone suddenly rang, and then was drowned in the night wind again, it was a familiar number.

"Hey, do you know who I am?"

"With your duck voice, how can I not know that you are Lin Hansu?"

"Isn't my hoarse voice sexy... Long time no see, do you know that "National" is about to be tested?"

I shrugged: "I know, so what?"

"Don't you ask if the holographic glasses are on sale, and when is the public beta? Incognito, do you really think of yourself as a hidden master?"

"I'm an old man, why do I still mix in these things, but you should think about why this time the "National" promotion didn't invite you, but invited Wuque."

The other end of the phone seemed to sneezed fiercely: "When you mention this, you will be angry. It's not that Qing Yu didn't win the championship in the final of the last season of God Realm. I know you watched that game. Tell me I have nothing to do, but let me tell you, this time the kingdom is a brand new beginning, I don’t believe that you don’t have a slight throbbing?”

"Okay, okay, let me think about it again..." Hastily pressed the button to end the call, and walked on the jagged asphalt road expressionlessly again, the surrounding neon lights began to gradually light up, shining brightly, Spots of light are left on the retina.

I don't want to express my turmoil. For me, "God Realm" is not just a simple online game. The farce caused by these two words can't be explained clearly in a few words , so even today, I still have a hesitant attitude towards the kingdom.

I know that I am not that kind of peerless master, definitely not, in "God Realm" there are often bridges where people beat me to the ground, but this is not the case that I am depressed.

Some things that seem to be within reach are just the most insurmountable barriers. For example, you stand in front of the dormitory door and find that you don't have the key.

Waiting has always been a difficult thing, especially at such moments. When I was leaning against the door frame in a drowsy state and almost fell asleep, my roommate Haozi was so excited that he almost twisted his voice.

"Gu Nai, someone actually sent you this."

I took a deep breath, rolled my eyes at him, and at the same time saw the words wrapped in holographic glasses in his hand.

How is this going?

Haozi and I stared at each other. He always insisted that I was a die-hard fan of "Kingdom", but in fact, as far as I was concerned, if I had this spare money, I would rather invest in financial management.

"Hey, Lin Hansu, I suddenly received a package, is it the holographic glasses you sent?"

"You want me to sponsor your holographic glasses for playing a game? The public beta will be open tomorrow, hurry up and buy them, alas, my captain is here, I won't talk to you..." With the sound of "beep" the phone hangs up I fell into deep thought again. From the promotional board on the street to Lin Hansu's invitation call to the sudden holographic glasses, it would be too nonsense to say that it was driven by mysterious power, but as far as today is concerned, I am indeed in harmony with "National Kingdom" "had too many unanticipated encounters.

"Lin Hansu? Could it be Lin Hansu from Team Qingyu? Damn, how dare you say that you don't play "Myth" and you even know Qingyu's vice-captain." Haozi looked in disbelief, as if he was Today, he looks like he was frightened one after another.

I curled my lips: "Is this guy very powerful?"

"Brother, I think you have never played "God Realm". Qing Yu's deputy captain Lin Hansu, the number one thief in the national server, you don't even know about that?"

Frowning, thinking carefully about when he left "God Realm", Lin Hansu seemed to have just become Qing Yu's official team member, and later paid less and less attention to "God Realm", just knowing that Lin Hansu seemed to be mixed in the professional circle After listening to Lin Hansu's family, he thought he was bragging, but he was not too impressed with the rest.

"How powerful is that thief who stabbed people secretly with a dagger?"

Haozi's eyes widened once again: "Brother, I think you are the only one who dares to say this. Who is Lin Hansu, even Wuque dare not underestimate him."

I pretended to agree and nodded. Lian Wuque was a famous epee swordsman in the pre-"God Realm" era. Before the opening of the professional league, he had often occupied the top seats in the major lists. Together with Lin Hansu and me, he belongs to the class of 2023. Students of the youth training camp.

I quit in the middle of the operation of "God Realm". Although the professional league at that time was only beginning to take shape, but the Que Ge team, the terrifying four-year triple championship, was indeed created by Lian Wuque and Xiao Junfu.Is the thief in my impression who still likes to sneak in with a dagger really so strong?
"What are you still thinking about? Just look at the current publicity of "National" and you can predict how popular it will be after the server is launched. It doesn't matter if you haven't played it before. I also bought holographic glasses. You can rest assured that you can play with me. Create a world in "Kingdom". " Hao Zi looked at me passionately about making great achievements, but he didn't notice my perfunctory nod at all.

I was just thinking about whether I should take this opportunity to step into the different world of "Kingdom". I know that it is absolutely impossible for me to hang out a holographic glasses that are old and rusty. I have to admit, about The dream of the professional arena has always been buried in a corner of my heart.

Although I don't know who sent the glasses, I might as well walk into that world again.

"Okay, then I'll hang out with you, little brother?" I pretended to smile calmly at Haozi, and the turbulent world behind the holographic glasses appeared in my mind again.

I never thought that I would be exposed to the holographic glasses again in this way, and it was also hard to predict that my mood would be so dark and turbulent this time.

Life may be as boring as ever, but a pair of holographic glasses is enough to outline the outline of another world, so use this pair of holographic glasses to break the patterned life.

"Iris scanned and bound."

"There are still 12 hours, 37 minutes, and 07 seconds until the opening of the "National" server."
