A brave player who started by touching corpses

It turns out that Joey's Legion is more connected than imagined.

Normally, an unexpected visit like Luke's would even involve reckless behavior that touches on someone's core abilities. It would be polite not to slap him.

But because the introducer was Joey Legion, the nature of the matter completely changed.

The definition of Luke's behavior directly changed from recklessly peeking into secrets to asking for relevant qualification tests from the authoritative side of the animal trainer.

It's still the same thing, but it sounds more respectable.

As for the so-called visit, Luke does not actually need to come to the door. Instead, he directly connects to the online virtual space called "Noah Space" through high-end VR glasses equipment similar to that in "Ready Player One" , meet there.

Luke is relatively retro when it comes to game selection. Even after going to the theater and playing Ready Player One 4 times, he has never touched VR glasses.

As a result, after traveling through time, I came into contact with extremely advanced virtual equipment.

Ah~~~! This light! This shadow! This grass...oh, this is the treadmill I just bought.

In Luke's small room, which had almost nothing except a bed, there was an omnidirectional treadmill with pressure-sensitive pads, and Luke, whose waist was fixed by an auxiliary machine like a robot hand, was squatting on it and rubbing the surface of the treadmill. Son, in his virtual vision, this is a normal green grassland.

At this time, he had entered the other party's private space through the URL sent by the other party. This was a large floating island floating above the clouds.

But although it is just an independent floating island, it is divided into many different terrains, from grassland to sand dunes, to swamps, snowfields, rainforests, and waterfalls. It is like a miniature world view.

"Hey! Are you introduced here by Joey Legion?"

Luke, who heard a voice coming from behind him, turned his head and saw a man whose appearance and tone were a bit frivolous and cowherd-like.

Different from "Ready Player One", Noah Space implements a full-line real-name system, and everyone's online image will default to the same image as in reality, in order to prevent possible cybercrime problems.

But Luke's eyes quickly settled on his feet.

An existence that looked like a seven-star ladybug but was about the size of a medium-sized dog was hiding behind the man's legs. Perhaps it noticed Luke's gaze, and even shrank its body back, looking very shy.

It turns out to be the same partner of Koushiro in the first film, a growing Beetlemon.

"Yes, I was introduced by Joey. My name is Luke. I would like to ask professionals like you to help test whether I have the potential to become an animal trainer."

Luke said solemnly as he looked away from Beetlemon.

"Where's the hero's name?"

"Uh, ancient player."

"...E-level? What a strange name for a hero."

The man who casually looked up Luke's hero rating raised his eyebrows.

"Don't be nervous, just call me Bug Master. This is my partner, Beetlemon, come to say hello."

Encouraged by the insect master, the shy beetle beast waved its forelimbs, but when it saw Luke returning the gesture, it retracted.

Mushishi had no idea about his partner's shy personality, so he had no choice but to get straight to the point.

"Ahem~ In short, you should have a general understanding from Joey Legion. Digital trainers and Pokémon trainers are actually very similar. They are both professions that only talented people can be qualified for."

"Similarly, there are many similarities between Pokémon and Digimon, but I won't expand on this aspect for the time being. After all, I'm not sure whether you have the relevant qualifications."

"And just like Pokémon trainers need Poke Balls to capture Pokémon, we digital trainers also need special equipment to establish a connection with Digimon."

"But because you've left the relationship, we don't have to deal with strangers."

"Next, I will send you a Digimon capture program, and then take you to a digital space with the characteristics of a monster lair that exists on the intranet, and let you directly come into contact with some neutral or hostile weak Digimon.

As for whether you can tame one of them and get your own Tyrannosaurus machine equipment, it all depends on your own talent. "

"In addition, the place you go must be kept secret, and no matter whether it is possible or not, you must work for our team for free within your ability. If you agree, choose to accept it."

As the insect master spoke, his hands bounced flexibly on the virtual keyboard.

Soon Luke received an "email", a "Digimon Capture Program? Trial Version" sent by the person in front of him.

At this point, Luke had no reason to refuse.

Isn’t it just working for free? No problem at all!

Luke accepted the program harshly.

…

The virtual device Luke just bought and hadn't used for a long time fell directly onto the treadmill because he himself had disappeared.

He should have been prepared for this, because the insect master made it clear that the digital space they were going to was a place with the characteristics of a monster lair, so it was normal for the body to be sucked in together.

Just like what he experienced when he repaired the air conditioner before.

However, maybe less than 10 minutes later, Luke reappeared out of thin air, landed lightly on the omnidirectional treadmill, and almost crushed his glasses.

As for why it happened so quickly, of course it was because the matter was over.

Luke suddenly had an object in his hand that was visualized by a digital program.

A palm-sized Tyrannosaurus Rex machine, and judging from its style, it was clearly the third-generation Tyrannosaurus Rex machine with a card-exchange function in "The King of Tamers".

The small screen on the Tyrannosaurus Rex machine was still lit, and you could see a little guy made of pure pixels on it, who seemed to be anxiously tapping the screen from the inside, but was even more anxious because he couldn't get out.

Luke took a look, then pointed the screen at his floor, and the next second, the bright screen began to project.

A little guy who was as short as a human child, with a red scarf tied around his neck, a pair of red gloves, devilish paws and tail, and a mischievous and cunning face, was transformed from data into a physical entity with the help of the Tyrannosaurus Rex machine.

The little guy first looked at his hands, then jumped twice on the spot, looking very excited.

But soon it began to look for something, and quickly caught Luke behind it, then raised its hands and a small ball of fire and ice appeared in each of them, and threw them at Luke without hesitation.

Faced with such a situation, Luke did not dodge or evade, and his body directly smashed the ice and fire balls in the panic expression of the little guy.

So the little guy who took the initiative to attack Luke for the second time was picked up by Luke, whose clothes had holes and skin was not injured, and struggled continuously.

Impmon, a growing period, is a little devil-type Digimon that likes to play pranks very much.

And it is Luke's partner Digimon, or more accurately, a mercenary Digimon.
