Chapter 1409 Extra (Part 3) A Glimmer of Hope

After evening classes, Xu Yunxi returned to the dormitory, not caring about filling his hungry stomach, and hurriedly took out the Universal Authentication Talisman, activated it, and asked his three roommates: "Can we play? Can we play?"

Zhang Congyue lowered his head, with phantoms rising in his eyes: "Okay! Okay! We're all squeezed in!"

Today is the day for the official public testing of the large-scale virtual reality game "The Lord of the World" that has been promoted for a long time in the real world. I don't know how many people are waiting eagerly to try this supposedly epoch-making experience!

Many years after virtual reality technology has been widely used in martial arts training, there is finally such a game with the slogan of experiencing different lives. It was jointly developed by the Zhou Dynasty, which governs the three realms, and "Tianyi Pavilion", and can reproduce a brand new world. , detailed, as if real worlds!

In this game, creatures will no longer be distinguished by race or status. Their identities and backgrounds will be assigned completely randomly. Most of the characters in "The Lord of the World" will be played by luck. They may be disciples of sects, descendants of aristocratic families, or... The suppressed demons and ghosts can even become flowers and plants on the roadside, jointly supporting the evolution of this virtual world.

Xu Yunxi had everything ready and only needed Dongfeng. He stopped talking and concentrated on waiting to enter the game. Not long after, the light and shadow in front of his eyes changed, and the dormitory turned into a night sky dotted with bright stars. He stood in the center, like the core of the universe.

"The data is being read and backgrounds are randomly assigned. Please wait patiently." An indifferent and high-pitched voice sounded, easing Xu Yunxi's inner anxiety.

The days passed like years, and the short few breaths of waiting felt like countless hours to Xu Yunxi. The stars in front of him finally changed, and lines of text were arranged:

"Randomized to one of the highest difficulty backgrounds."

"In view of this, you can contact the customer service hotline of this game at any time to request guidance. The number is: XXXXXXX."

"Once the background is generated, players cannot change it until the character is completely terminated."

"After the character ends, the player enters the reincarnation system."

…

Xu Yunxi looked at these contents in stunned silence. He didn't expect that he was assigned one of the most difficult backgrounds. Compared with most players, he looked different. He didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad luck.

The text was still gradually forming. Xu Yunxi withdrew his thoughts and concentrated on reading. At this point, he could only accept it if he didn't want to accept it, and see if he could use it to make fun of it and become "the most respected person in the world"!

"Character background: The legitimate son of the Wang family in Jiangdong, the young head of the family, Wang Siyuan, nicknamed 'Counting all the people'!"

…

The starry sky suddenly cracked, and lines of text flew into Xu Yunxi's mind with a bright tail of light, transforming into a corresponding spectrum of relationships between characters.

Xu Yunxi suddenly woke up, turned over and sat up. He felt that his lungs were stuffy and his throat was itchy. He couldn't help but cough violently. The cough was heartbreaking. It was an experience he had never experienced in his life.

A copper basin appeared in front of him, with dots of bright red splashing inside. Xu Yunxi came to his senses and looked at the maid next to him in astonishment. She looked delicate and elegant, with a face full of love: "Master, are you having another nightmare?"

Young Master? Only then did Xu Yunxi realize that he had entered the game "The Lord of the World", and exclaimed in his heart that it was indeed the first large-scale interactive game in virtual reality, but it actually made him unable to have any false feelings.

With a thought, he called up the light screen menu, and after confirming that he could exit, Xu Yunxi frowned slightly, feeling sad, happy, and confused.

According to the previous introduction to the setting of "The Honorable One", the identity of the young head of the Wang family in Jiangdong is so prominent and noble. From the very beginning, he can learn the peerless series of exercises "Suzhou Sutra" and control one of the most powerful treasures in the early stage, "Luo Luo". "Book" complements the practical accumulation of the disciples of his own "Ghost Valley Academy". Such a background is simply "easy to level up" for future development. Where does the highest level of difficulty come from?

Is this body inherently weak?

"Hey, young master, the 'Sutra Sutra' is too powerful and can see the secrets of heaven. Naturally, you will suffer from the jealousy of heaven, and you will be weak and sick, and your life span will not be half a hundred years. But as long as you can achieve the Dharmakaya before then, you will naturally turn death into life and break away from the shackles. "The maid sighed.

It seems that this maid is not played by a player, but belongs to the "newcomer guide" mentioned in the previous promotion. She is explaining more detailed things to me... Well, it is a bit difficult to become a Dharmakaya and die at fifty. If I don’t have the Dharmakaya, why should I play this game? Xu Yunxi suddenly understood, his mind calmed down, he coughed twice and said:

"Bring me a bowl of something to soothe my throat."

"Yes, sir." The maid walked to the side and opened the food box, already prepared.

Xu Yunxi looked at the maid's respectful performance and felt that he could not hide his joy. The identity and background assigned to him could crush 99% of the players. He would definitely be in the limelight and enjoy himself in the future. The so-called highest difficulty was completely acceptable. .

"ah!"

At this moment, a shrill scream broke out, like the darkness deep in everyone's heart, which can evoke all violence, ferocity and madness.

Xu Yunxi couldn't help but shudder. He was more frightened than when he encountered a ghost. It was a purely instinctive reaction.

"What is this sound?" he blurted out after the screams disappeared.

The maid sighed: "Sir, are you sick and confused? Our ancestors of the Wang family, as long as they have achieved Dharmakaya, they will scream before sitting down, as if they have encountered something extremely terrible, and, moreover, it is said that they will turn into evil spirits. ”

Ah, you will die at fifty without becoming the Dharmakaya, and after attaining the Dharmakaya, you will be cursed and never end well? Xu Yunxi's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of despair filled the air.

It’s really the highest level of difficulty!

Although it doesn't matter to the players that they don't have a good end, they always feel scared and terrified!

In the following months, in addition to practicing martial arts, Xu Yunxi has been addicted to the game "The Supreme of the World", wanting to make a ray of hope for his identity as "Prince Wang". However, no matter how hard he tried, how he struggled, or how he deduced, he could not see the dawn of hope. There seemed to be a chaotic and crazy dark red raging in front of his eyes and in his dreams, desperate and depressed.

"Didn't Yuxu Palace Yuanshi Tianzun say that everything has a ray of hope? While the Dharma body is still early, ask the dedicated customer service for guidance." Xu Yunxi dialed the number of the dedicated customer service with frustration and low mood.

After a short wait, he saw a light curtain emerge out of thin air, reflecting an elegantly decorated quiet room, with a chessboard inside, covered with black and white, and a beautiful man in white, like a girl, kneeling behind the chessboard, with frost on his hair and a face that seemed to lack color.

"Do you have any questions about Wang Siyuan's background?" The man in white asked with a faint smile.

Why is this hotline customer service so extraordinary? Is she a senior person in Tianyi Pavilion? And beautiful and weak, isn't that Wang Siyuan's label? Xu Yunxi was full of doubts, but still asked the question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time: "... It's like this, it's like I'm stuck in a dead end. No matter how I play, I can't jump out? What should I do?"

"Can't jump out?" The man in white picked up a black piece and seemed to drop it on the chessboard, but suddenly, he let go of it and the chess piece fell like a meteor and smashed it, messing up the chessboard, "What about this?"

What about this? Xu Yunxi looked at it and felt that the chessboard had undergone countless changes, and it had grown a lot of "qi" and a strong vitality!

"This... This!" He stood up suddenly, his face full of joy, "If you can't jump out, just smash the original chessboard!"

He rubbed his hands excitedly and joyfully, and wanted to try to deduce the specific action of "smashing the chessboard" immediately.

At this moment, the man in white suddenly stopped smiling and asked:

"What if the action of 'smashing the chessboard' is in the opponent's 'chess game'?"

In the opponent's chess game? Xu Yunxi was stunned, his mind was a mess, he didn't know how to answer, he only felt that there was a hint of sadness and loss in the other party's tone.

"Okay, let's stop here." Seeing Xu Yunxi's reaction, the man in white shook his head and was about to end the conversation.

Xu Yunxi woke up and blurted out: "I don't know what to call you?"

This doesn't look like an ordinary customer service!

"Call me?" The man in white smiled, coughed twice and said, "My customer service code is 'a ray of hope'."

A ray of hope? Xu Yunxi was confused and watched the light and shadow disappear.
