"Groove, have you heard? Dad Xu Dan is about to release a virtual game!"
At a high school in Huaxia, a chubby boy said excitedly to the buddy beside him.
High school was supposed to be a period of intense studying, but they were different—skipping classes to play games, taking leave to play games, leaving early to play games…
In short, they exhausted every possible way to play games.
As for studying—whoever wanted to bleed for it could do so. The chubby boy had already given up.
"Spit your dad's skull," the buddy replied irritably. "I don't know which idiot posted that on the forum, and a whole bunch of people actually believed it. Sure, there were rumors before, but rumors are rumors. Do you even know what a virtual game means? I study physics—let me tell you, it's balabala—"
"However, Xu Dan's father has already posted the helmet price on the official website."
"I—what's the point of an official website? I'm telling you, that kind of technology isn't realistic right now. At best, it's something the military might use. And the civilian cost—do you know what that means? Eighty percent of the world's population is poor. Who can afford a gaming helmet?"
[Ding! Payment successful!]
"What was that sound? What did you buy—sneakers?"
The chubby boy silently held out his phone.
On the screen was the familiar Antarctic Forum app, and right there—he had directly pre-ordered a virtual game helmet.
More than ten thousand yuan!
Just like that—buying it outright?
"Cloud payment gives a 98% discount. I'll ask Qingqing to sing at KTV tonight with the rest."
"Huh? You really bought it? Aren't you afraid of getting scammed online? I'm telling you, that Tao Qingqing isn't a good person—she's just after your money! I'm speaking straight, don't take it to heart. Look at yourself—you're over two hundred pounds. Tao Qingqing looks so sao—do you really think she'd like you? Brother, think about it! If you hadn't been treating her every day, she—"
"I'll just play. Do you think she's pretty?"
"Pretty? Well… she's okay."
"Then I'll finish playing and give it to you."
"No—bro, what are you talking about! What do you think of me—"
"Do you want a game helmet?"
"Me? I'm telling you, that thing is a scam nine times out of ten. With current technology, virtual games can't even be made. Another day I'll write you an online game novel—you'll think it's cool. Let's hurry and refund the helmet, look—"
"Hmph."
The chubby boy let out a disdainful snort, as if walking beside a dog.
————————
"Qingqing, are you really planning to go to KTV with that fat guy tonight? Have you thought it through?"
In the classroom, a short-haired girl asked a beautiful girl with long brown hair.
The beautiful girl looked into the distance, a sneer curling at the corner of her mouth.
"What's there to be afraid of? I just want a game helmet."
"Qingqing, you don't really want to play some crappy game, do you? It's your first time—don't you think it's a waste to give it to that kind of person?"
Tao Qingqing brushed her hair behind her ear and laughed again.
"First time, second time—I'm telling you, it's not a broken game. It's an opportunity that can change my destiny. You don't know my family situation, but you've seen my gaming talent. Last time at the internet café league, women's first place. Just watch—wait for me to rise."
As she spoke, a strange smile appeared on the girl's beautiful face.
Her slender, soft shadow quietly slipped into the short-haired girl's clothes.
Yes.
She was a lily.
A boy's heart trapped in a girl's body.
Like many passionate youths, she believed that the virtual game Antarctica was about to release was a massive opportunity.
In reality, she could only swagger around relying on her looks.
But in the game world—
She was a true king.
Nancheng No. 2 High School had never tasted defeat!
So she had to prove herself in the great opportunity brought by virtual gaming!
As for when people began to believe that virtual games were a life-changing opportunity, no one knew anymore.
They only knew—
They were eager to welcome the arrival of virtual games.
It had been a month since Antarctica announced the news.
Yet during this month, only official website updates were released—there wasn't even a promotional CG.
Because of this, many players concluded that Antarctica simply couldn't make a game in such a short time, and was only using this gimmick to draw attention.
But was that really the case?
————————
Inside the Antarctic Tower in New York.
In Xu Dan's office, a large new bed had been added.
Four figures lay neatly side by side, gaming equipment worn over their heads…
"Liva, Liva, one o'clock direction—first shot, third level."
On the battlefield, a man who resembled Xu Dan by seventy or eighty percent held an M4 and shouted into the radio.
Inside a house to the left, a woman in leather clothes and leather pants, her hair tied in a ponytail, held a fully-kitted 98K.
The corner of her mouth lifted slightly.
"Received."
Thump!
[Lihua Doll used 98K to eliminate Red Queen No. 18]
After firing the shot, Liva immediately rolled over.
The moment she lowered her head, a bullet whizzed past!
"That was close! Little Red Queen really knows how to play with me!"
Liva in the game and Liva in reality were like two completely different people.
In reality, though seasoned by time, Liva was still somewhat shy.
But in this virtual game world, she had completely liberated her nature—
Black leather jacket, leather pants, bean-paste lipstick, fox-like eyeliner, high ponytail.
She looked like a—
Bang!
"I'm hit! Pull me, pull me—woo~!"
At the rear of the team, Skye suddenly cried out pitifully.
She was the weakest member of the team.
Originally, she should have been a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.
But now, in the virtual game, she was the logistics officer and cook.
Meanwhile, the once weakest Liva had become a cool sniper goddess.
Since the game hadn't officially launched yet, the "players" they were facing were actually Red Queen subprograms.
And these subprograms were insanely strong—each one comparable to a top-tier operator.
Skye, who hadn't trained or awakened yet, could only serve as a moving ammo pack.
"Climb to the bunker—I'll pull you up!"
"Woo, thank you, Dancer!"
No one knew why Fire Dancer's tactical style was exactly like Xu Dan's.
One word—
Reckless.
As soon as she saw an enemy, she charged straight in with her gun.
She was a ninja, after all—her physical marksmanship was already at an external mastery level!
She tossed a smoke grenade and rushed forward.
"Skye, you should learn how to shoot properly. You're always grabbing guns from me all day, and even when you do grab one, you still don't fight…"
Fire Dancer's resentful voice came through the headset.
As for which gun she meant—
Well, who knows~
