Alien Paradise.

Chapter 1 Paradise Games
Atlantic Ocean, cruise ship Heart of the Seas.

In a luxury suite on the top floor of the cruise ship, four passengers are sitting around a long table and looking at each other.

Only VIP-level guests can book upper-floor rooms, so most of these people's identities are either rich or noble, and the reason for gathering them here is not a business negotiation, but a game.

A stimulating game that claims to exhaust all brain power and is unimaginable.

"Since sitting is also sitting, why don't you introduce yourself first?" A middle-aged man took the lead in speaking in English, "Hey, everyone should understand me, right? My name is Joe James, an American ,what about you?"

No one answered.

The atmosphere at the scene seemed a little stiff for a while.

"Okay, okay, how about French? No? How about Chinese? I can also speak a little Russian." He changed several languages ​​in a row.

"Okay, this is not a talk show." Someone finally interrupted his chatter, "Everyone is here for fun, so what does it matter if you don't know each other?"

"It's time to make friends." James raised the champagne on the table and shook it at the other party, "Besides, no one knows what this game is like. If you need to work as a team, wouldn't it save time to get to know each other now?" ?”

The man raised his eyebrows, as if he was convinced, "...Anthony Chekov, welcome to go hunting in Siberia when you are free." He looked older, nearly fifty, and he had the most prominent style.Rings hung on at least nine of the ten fingers, some of which were inlaid with gemstones or polished with bones, which looked very eye-catching.

It is a little strange that this person looks like a Slav, and his name is also Russian, but he speaks Chinese.

"If it's just hunting, I'd rather go to South Africa." James shifted his gaze to the only woman among the five. "Then what about this lady, what should I call her?"

"Nariko Asahara." The woman said, and then she pointed to the big man behind her, "This is my guardian, so I don't need to introduce it to everyone."

"Did you take a follower with you when you came out to play?" Chekov touched the ring on his hand and pointed out, "I don't want to be watched by irrelevant people when I am having fun."

"When the host arrives, he will leave."

"But Missy—"

"You don't need to say much." Naruko interrupted in Japanese.

The big man had to shut up.

"My name is Zhou Zhi..." Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, the last young man raised his head slightly and said, "I boarded a boat in Berlin Port, but my hometown is—"

"That's enough, there's no need to go into so much detail." James waved his hand and interrupted him, "I'll see the host later, I have to make a suggestion to him, that is, it's best to check the age of participation, too young It's better not to join in, so as to save their lives from being boring for the next few decades."

This sentence immediately caused low laughter from the others.

Zhou Zhi's face also became gloomy.

"Does what Mr. James said include me?" Naruko Asahara asked calmly, "After all, judging from my appearance, I should be about the same age as him."

The two of them seemed to be the youngest among the passengers, both in their early twenties.

"Where and where, restrictions will never target beautiful ladies. This principle is the same everywhere." James quickly remedied.

"I can afford the fare." Zhou Zhi said emphatically.

"That's right, we all know this," the American blinked. "For example, we all know who is actually paying for it."

Zhou Zhiteng stood up suddenly.

"Forget it, the organizers don't care about this. Whoever makes money is not making money." Chekov pressed his hand and changed the subject, "I'm curious about how to play this game. I'm not the first cruise ship of the Caribbean company. I took a ride once, but I have never heard of them advertising a similar project.”

These words seem to have reached everyone's heart.

The Heart of the Sea is a luxury cruise ship ranked among the top in the world. From casinos to entertainment venues, it has all the entertainment facilities that should be available.But for them, they have already experienced countless times of these enjoyable lives that are difficult for ordinary people to touch, and now there is nothing new to speak of.Because of this, when the organizer sends out an invitation for a new game, they will not hesitate to click the participation button, even if the threshold fee alone is as high as one million dollars.

According to the invitation email, this event is unparalleled and extremely exciting, even extreme sports cannot be compared with it.It will bring people the most original sensory stimulation, as long as you participate once, you will never forget it.

The strange thing is that apart from the email, there was no other relevant publicity on board, and other passengers seemed to know nothing about it, which is a bit different from what everyone expected.If the organizer really came up with such a wonderful event, it shouldn't be so unknown.

"Is it possible... that we are the first batch of participants?" Zhou Zhi sat down again, "There are people from all over the world. If the project is really as exciting as they say, the news will probably spread all over the world the next day."

"Or another possibility." The American said disapprovingly, "That is, this event is not suitable for publicity."

"Mr. James means..." Naruko looked at him.

"Can ordinary games really arouse everyone's interest?" He asked back.

These words made Anthony Chekov reveal a meaningful smile.

The so-called ordinary games naturally refer to legal games.If you regard life as a game, then the law is nothing more than the most restrictive rules.

The more you cross the rules, the higher the level of stimulation will undoubtedly be.

"Miss..." The big man frowned again.

"But we are on a cruise ship." Zhou Zhi reminded, "No matter how amazing the game idea is, it must be realized on the ship. Anyway, I can't think of any new tricks that can be made in this place."

It's impossible to have a real-life battle royale, right?
"Why don't we guess?" James took out a chip from his pocket. The golden outer circle means that it is worth 20 yuan. "The winner takes all. It's a jackpot before the game."

For the jackpot of 20 US dollars, the four people will be 80.

Except for yourself, if you can win 60 at a time, that is a lot of money.

"No need, everyone will never guess."

Suddenly someone chimed in.

Everyone followed the prestige and saw a man in a purple vest and pure black trousers walking into the room.He wore a red and black Sichuan opera mask that completely covered his face, and a nameplate hung on his chest with the word Chaoyang (chao-yang) written in multiple languages.

There is no doubt that the comer is the host of the game.

"Keep everyone waiting, this game is ready and can start right away."

"Wait, wait, shall we start here?" Joe James put away his chips, "You haven't explained to us what kind of game this is."

"That's right," Chekov agreed, "There must be an introduction to the gameplay, right?"

"Actually, these are not important." The host smiled, "Please look at the table."

At some point, everyone had a pair of VR glasses in front of them!

There was nothing strange about the VR glasses themselves. What shocked them was that this was a slate table with nothing under it except the legs, and it was impossible to hide things like hidden compartments.And the host has been standing by the door after entering the door, never approaching the table, how did the glasses appear in just a few seconds?
"So...the game you plan is not really a game, is it?" The Russian said with a sullen expression as he picked up the VR glasses.

This attitude can be said to be quite face-saving.

If he hadn't been surprised by the VR created out of thin air, he would have slapped the table and left long ago.

Let them play video games?Also known as participating in an unforgettable event?This is obviously playing people for fools!What is the origin of those who can board the ship?Who hasn't tasted delicacies from mountains and seas, and who hasn't been to the mountains and the sea?Things that can be enjoyed as long as they spend money are nothing to them.

Virtual game?That's just a pastime for the poor!

"Didn't it be said in the email? It's hard to imagine the game itself even if you exhaust all your brainpower, let alone the barren language?" The host still politely said, "The reason why I don't introduce it is because it cannot be introduced. What I did was just put on this pair of glasses and experience it for myself.”

The four looked at each other.

But what the host said is right, everyone is here, and it doesn’t take much effort to put on VR.If it is really a false propaganda, they also have a channel to ask the Caribbean company for an explanation-at that time, it will not be able to solve the problem with a threshold of one million yuan.

Reputation, especially among the rich and powerful, is definitely a top priority for a company specializing in luxury cruise ships.

"Then try it." James exaggeratedly sighed, "But you have to be careful of the furious Russian, if you can't satisfy him, Siberian tigers won't dislike extra meals."

"Miss, I'll wait for you outside." The big man felt relieved when he saw this, bowed slightly to Naruko, and then walked out of the room.

After seeing everyone else wearing VR, Zhou Zhi also put the glasses on his face.

"I'm fine, then what?"

No one answered, and the surroundings seemed to freeze.

Wait a minute, these are glasses, not earmuffs, how could it make the room suddenly quiet?

Something is wrong!

Zhou Zhi reached out and grabbed the VR, wanting to take it off, but what his fingers touched was his own face—there was nothing but a pair of naked eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a glaring white light penetrated into his pupils, making him scream!
In the next second, his eyes regained their visual ability, and the boundless sea and blue sky entered his eyes.

Zhou Zhi was stunned.

Not only him, everyone was stunned at the moment.

The luxury suite on the Heart of the Ocean has disappeared, replaced by an old wooden boat, not to mention crossing the Atlantic Ocean, even a one-meter-high head-on wave can turn it upside down.

"I, how did I become like this!?" Suddenly someone exclaimed, "This is not my original body!"

"who are you?"

"Damn it, tell me your name! I'm Joe James!"

"Naruko Asahara."

"I know it well."

Everyone reported their names one by one, confirming that it was only after the game participants that their expressions eased slightly.

"Fuck, what the hell is this? Hey, host, are you still there?" James asked nervously, looking around.

"Of course." The figure of the masked man emerged in the middle of the boat——different from the others, his appearance was translucent, like a phantom, "Welcome to Paradise."

"Breche, Breche, Breche, what kind of technology is this? It's just like the real thing!" The Russian spit out several swear words in succession, as if this was the only way to express his shock.He leaned over, crossed the side of the boat, and put his hand into the water to fish it out, "Dry! Temperature, touch...what I can feel is no different from reality!"

Then Chekhov took a spoonful of water and sucked it into his mouth.

"Bah - it's so salty! This water even has a taste!"

In fact, without him saying it, others can experience it.The slight burning sensation of the sun shining on the skin, the slightly salty smell of the sea breeze, and the rough friction and pain of the wooden deck of the boat below, no matter from which angle you look at it, it is far beyond the scope of what VR can show.

"How...how did this happen?" James wondered, "Are we really still on the Heart of the Ocean?"

"If we move your body without permission, it is undoubtedly a serious violation. You are all VIP customers, please be assured of this. If you want to quit the game, you can do it at any time." The host nodded , replied slowly, "As for this technology - subject to the regulations of the development company, we can't disclose too much, but I can tell you that it uses the most cutting-edge technology in neural signal simulation, and it affects not only vision .And the park project is its first application, I hope you can have a good time.”

"I still can't believe it...all of this is virtual." Zhou Zhi murmured.He looked at himself facing the surface of the water. At this moment, he was wearing a tattered leather jacket. Although his body under the clothes was thin and small, he had been tempered. The power contained in his body was definitely not something that an idler can possess. "And I feel so strong now that if a shark comes, I can tear it apart."

"Boy, it's better to save your bragging," Chekov teased, "Strength can be improved through settings, but guts can't."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"I don't think he might be a timid one." Naruko didn't laugh with everyone, but stretched out her hand and pointed to the American at the bow—her appearance was also changed, she was still a woman, but Without her beautiful long black hair and delicate facial features, she now looks like a carrot head crushed by poverty and hardship, but her tone still maintains that indifferent and calm tone.

Only then did everyone notice that Joe James' hands were shaking violently.

"Damn, what's so interesting!?" The latter scolded through gritted teeth, "I'm just a little excited. Damn...do you have a cigarette? I want to take a sip."

The host raised his hand, and a cigarette appeared in his hand in the blink of an eye.

"...Thank you." James shuffled the cigarette into his mouth and took a sip, "Then what's next? This game doesn't let us stay at sea and enjoy the scenery, does it?"

"Theoretically, the park does not restrict the behavior of the participants, and you can do what you want." The host smiled, "But considering that this is the first time for you to enter the park, I added a little guidance. Please look at your feet—"

Zhou Zhi turned his head away and shuddered.

There were more than a dozen rusty weapons piled up in the shadows below the side of the ship, including machetes, daggers, and spears. These sharp weapons were stained with blackened blood on their blades, and they were obviously not for display.

"How about letting everyone play pirates this time?" The host spread his hands and said with a smile.

　The long wait, the new book is here!I hope you can support us a lot!
