Soul Palace No. 1 Player

Chapter 8 Game Reality 51
With the development of technology in 2064, the technology of immersive devices has become quite mature.

It can even blur people's perception of time, thereby achieving "time delay" in a sensory way.

In other words, relying on immersive devices can extend human life in disguise.

Although today human life expectancy is generally close to 100 years.

But who would mind living another hundred or two hundred years?
Spending two or even three days in an immersive device means that only one day has passed in the real world.

This means that a person who originally lived a hundred years could have an experience of two hundred or even three hundred years.

However, such time delay requires a carrier.

We can't let the user stay in a small dark room for two or three days.

That's not called prolonging life.

That's called jail!

To extend the time, the user's consciousness must be allowed to experience something, so that it will not be wasted.

And games are undoubtedly the best choice!

And because of the different game backgrounds, many experiences are actually completely different from reality.

If it weren’t for the high price and maintenance costs of immersive equipment, as well as the need to ensure the body’s nutritional intake.

I'm afraid most people would rather stay in the virtual game and not come out.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the pressure of material life has been a huge mountain facing every adult. Until now, this mountain still stands, and may even rise a little from time to time due to the collision and compression of the earth's crust.

There is a topic in university psychology called "Why did adults like to stay up late forty years ago?"
The core factor is that there is too little time available for personal use.

Even though I know that staying up late is bad for my health, I still have to watch short videos and look at beauties to relieve stress.

But the situation has improved since immersive devices became officially available for civilian use twenty years ago.

Working to make money during the day and sleeping and playing games at night has gradually become the main theme of human life.

Even old men in their seventies and eighties have to put on gaming helmets after exercising and eating and drinking.

Then go to a quiet lake that is virtual but no different from reality.

Take the rich man's fishing rod that costs hundreds of thousands in real life, or is even available for free in the game, find a good fishing spot, make a good nest, and then cast a few casts gracefully.

The reason why Tianyao Company was able to defeat major game manufacturers and become the world's leading gaming giant is not only because it makes good games.

Immersive technology is also a core advantage!

For games produced by other companies, the ratio of game time to real time is mostly only 3:1.

"Fights Break Sphere" is 5:1!

It’s the same day, but in Doupo you can last five days, and even a fool would know what to choose.

It is worth mentioning that Tianyao Company is now also responsible for supplying immersive equipment to colleges across the country.

Well, I managed to squeeze in four days of school in one day.

Greatly improved learning efficiency!
Many students expressed their satisfaction!

Tianyao Company was criticized harshly on the Internet.

This is oppression and destruction!

Then during the holidays, he held up the Tianyao Company's gaming helmet and shouted:
"Fighting Break Sphere, start!"

The healthy usage time of Yang Shan’s game cabin is twelve hours a day.

During the use period, the nutrient solution can be injected once to replace a meal.

Therefore, Yang Shan only needs to eat two meals a day to ensure his food intake.

But Yang Shan has been online for seventeen hours this time.

So when I left the game cabin, I was somewhat out of breath.

I feel a little weak too.

My stomach is growling already.

Yang Shan quickly went to the kitchen, beat an egg and made a bowl of homemade noodles.

It is not suitable to eat heavy food when you are hungry for a long time, as it can easily hurt your stomach.

While eating noodles, Yang Shan did not forget to take out his mobile phone and browse the game forum.

Discussion topics related to the ID "Yang Shan" occupy half of the hot list.

After all, up to now, the entire national server has only issued two server-wide announcements, both of which were triggered by Yang Shan.

However, when you click on the post, there are still many players criticizing Yang Shan for cheating, or criticizing Tianyao Company for inaction.

However, any player who truly understands Tianyao Company’s technical background and relevant network laws will not think that Yang Shan is really cheating.

It's just that other game manufacturers are deliberately creating obstacles.

After eating and resting for half an hour, Yang Shan changed into sportswear and went out for a run.

Playing games is not something that can be achieved overnight. It requires a good body to fight a long-term battle.

So Yang Shan also pays great attention to his health.

This is also the reason why Yang Shan really wants to replace the equipment.

The top-of-the-line gaming console, which is priced at 1.88 million yuan, has a healthy usage time of 48 hours at a time.

More than just nutrient solution.

There are even rigorous microcurrent programs that exercise the user’s body to a certain extent.

After running for an hour, Yang Shan returned home, took a comfortable bath, and then took a nap for another half an hour.

Although immersive devices can replace sleep, the brain is always slightly more active than in deep sleep. Taking more rest and emptying the mind will help adjust your state.

Of course, before going online, Yang Shan did not forget to take out his notebook and continue writing down his gaming memories from his previous life.

The first five words are:
Alchemist Qin Wu!
This was an "opportunity" triggered by players in the early days of the server launch in the previous life.

Moreover, after it is triggered, there is no chance of successful strategy.

According to the sharing post sent by the player who triggered it, the reward for this opportunity is a special second-grade elixir recipe - "Juyuan Pill"!
This thing can increase the player's training benefits while idle!

Because of the failure of this opportunity, it was not until half a month later that other players obtained the recipe for "Juyuan Dan".

Even so, Juyuan Dan is still a good thing that is in short supply in the early stages of the game.

It is the perfect way to make your first pot of gold.

But before that, it’s better to increase the level a little bit.

After all, the location of this opportunity is in a relatively deep area of ​​the Monster Mountain Range, and the monsters nearby are also a bit tricky!

In addition to "Alchemist Qin Wu", Yang Shan also wrote about many golden leveling sites in the "1.0" version of the server, as well as some "opportunities" that he remembered in subsequent versions.

After going online again, Yang Shan immediately received a system prompt:
[Ding! Your idle training time is 4 hours in the real world, and you get 100 basic experience points. Since you consume spirit stones to speed up the training, the experience points gained will increase by 20%, consuming 20 spirit stones.]

In the early stages of the game, consuming spirit stones to increase your idle training experience is a very luxurious thing.

But for Yang Shan, time is money.

The sooner you upgrade and the sooner you trigger the opportunity of "Alchemist Qin Wu", the more you can earn spirit stones.

Before that, Yang Shan needs to upgrade his level to eight-star fighter or above, preferably an advanced fighter, so as to ensure his own safety.

After all, after leaving the Novice Secret Realm, the player's death will result in a certain amount of experience points being deducted based on the current level.

Yang Shan decided to try his luck at the Mittel Yunshuang branch first.

The Mittel Yunshuang branch is actually also built very luxuriously.

But compared to the crowded Pang family and Chai family, this place is still too deserted.

Just like the current status of Yunshuang Branch.

Both the Pang family and the Chai family have powerful Dou Ling masters in charge.

But the Yunshuang branch doesn’t have it!
This also meant that in the subsequent 1.1 version, the Yunshuang branch did not have the absolute confidence to compete with the Pang family and the Chai family for resources.

Yang Shangang walked to the branch gate when he heard someone say:

"Then Master, I will go to the inn and get a room first."

Afterwards, Yang Shan saw a maid who was quite good-looking appear at the gate.

The maid glanced at Yang Shan, lowered her head shyly, and left in a hurry.

The next moment, Master Yao, with his big belly, walked with his feet turned outward:
"Xiao Cui, you haven't told me which inn it is! Oh, you..."

Mr. Yao was so eager to practice his marksmanship last time that he forgot to ask Yang Shan's name.

"Master Yao, I, Yang Shan, am here to bother you again."

Master Yao immediately replied:
"Hey, Mr. Yang, how can you be bothering me? Are you here to send something to my branch?"

Yang Shan: "No, I just want to come to your bank to see if there are any tasks."

Master Yao suddenly realized:

"I see. I have a job for you. Is Yang Shan interested?"

Yang Shan: "Master Yao, please speak."

Master Yao: "My body is in good shape, but if I want to recover faster, I need something. If you can find me some barbarian bull roots, I can help you buy a yellow-level intermediate fighting skill book at a 70% discount!"

[Ding! Master Yao issues the task: Manniu Root.]

[Task requirements: Players need to obtain a Bull Root from the second-level elite Warcraft Bull and give it to Master Yao.]

[Task Reward: Right to purchase Yellow Rank Intermediate (Purple) Fighting Skills at 30% off.]

Bull!

Yang Shan remembered that this monster was on the grassland ten kilometers away to the east of Yunshuang City.

As a second-level elite monster, fighter-level players can obtain very generous cross-level experience rewards after killing a higher-level monster!

At the same time, the second-level earth-attribute magic core, cow bones, and cow roots that the barbarian bull may drop can all be sold at a good price to the NPC.

It is definitely one of the golden leveling places in the early stage.

Even if it's not in the gold leveling area, this task must be accepted.

Now the tasks and leveling are combined into one. This development is too smooth.

Yang Shan nodded:

"Then I will help Master Yao to look for him. Wait for my good news."

Master Yao instructed:
"The Barbarian Bull is a second-level magical beast after all, so don't force it, my friend."

Mr. Yao didn’t talk any more, after all, Xiao Cui was still waiting for him!

Yang Shan also turned around and went to the market.

The Barbarian Bull is a second-level elite monster and is not something that players can easily provoke at this stage.

Using some small props can reduce the difficulty of spawning monsters.

The props were also simple, just five pieces of big red cloth that could cover the table, and it only cost two spirit stones in total.

Let's go!
