Observation Underway, God's Domain Game Opens
Not long after.
Zhang Mingzhen rested for a moment, then suddenly opened his eyes.
Because a CG animation suddenly started playing on the living room TV screen.
"Shock!"
"Second Life!"
"Restart!"
"Open at 10:00 AM today!"
Do you hate your mundane self? Do you want to become a god?
"From mortal to supreme!"
"Are there any friends, relatives, or loved ones you wish to see again?"
"In this world, they can be resurrected!"
Come on, go and create a world that only has you!
Zhang Mingzhen frowned immediately.
He knew it was the trailer for the globally Holographic Online Game, "God's Domain".
This game, which claims to be "a thousand years ahead of its time in terms of technology," has recently become a hot topic of discussion on the streets.
It boasts "100% simulation of reality, complete immersion, a second life, and the transformation of mortals into gods."
Furthermore, it claims to be "centrally controlled by an AI, the company cannot interfere with the game's progress, and the game evolves on its own..."
Furthermore, it has received formal support and recognition from many major powers.
That's very strange.
What kind of games can gain widespread approval and promotion from higher authorities?
Unless you can gain a significant benefit from it.
Zhang Mingzhen was a game enthusiast in his previous life, and in this world, he already has a fortune of over 100 million.
Because of his physical limitations, he naturally devotes his entertainment to games and videos.
He has indeed played and experienced many new VR virtual games.
However, most of them are rather rough and have obvious differences from the real environment.
It involves wearing a helmet or lying in a gaming pod, projecting images onto your eyes, and providing mechanical feedback from a joystick.
It can achieve a portion of the simulation of reality.
But that's about it; and playing for too long can make you dizzy and lightheaded.
Coupled with the high cost of the equipment, it is still not considered a popular mainstream game on the market.
The mainstream games nowadays are still popular mobile games and large-scale 3D games.
This is the first time I've seen a virtual online game that boasts "100% immersive experience".
Of course, compared to his previous life, the virtual gaming world is relatively more developed.
This world has already developed gaming pods priced at "millions," complete with sound, optics, mechanics, body detection, timed reminders, safety guarantees, comfort, AI butler... everything is included.
Of course, he didn't buy it.
It's not that I don't have money, but rather that I'm trying to keep a low profile.
This thing looks very expensive to outsiders.
To prevent anyone from coveting his wealth, he uses only ordinary-priced items in his daily life.
At best, they're middle class.
Some people say, why not hire a bodyguard or a butler...?
He is disabled in both legs, and in his view, the more outsiders he hires, the greater the danger.
He bought a helmet for around 10,000 yuan, which is within his budget.
He initially had only a slight interest in playing this game.
But upon hearing the word "resurrection," a luxurious and unrealistic Ambition suddenly arose in him.
He wants to resurrect his parents in this life.
Because he never experienced that in his previous life.
Gao Linzhi looked at the target with satisfaction, while Zhang Mingzhen quickly called customer service to order the necessary equipment for the "God's Domain" game.
For the sake of simplicity, he named his original world "God's Domain".
This symbolizes that a true "god" will emerge from here.
One week later.
God's Domain world.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
Only one hour remains until the official opening of <God's Domain>, as announced in the trailer.
On Game Forum, the sections about "God's Domain" are being refreshed at an alarming rate.
Every minute, a large number of new posts emerge—not only nationwide, but also worldwide attention is focused on this.
No one knows who developed this mysterious game.
Its announcements, its release, its operation, its planning and management all bypassed the personnel of Shen He.
Only a very few people understand the magic of this game.
Gao Linzhi actually disguised himself as a member of a higher civilization in the Milky Way—when he was out and about, he gave himself that identity.
His reason for doing this was, of course, to prevent scientists in the God's Domain from researching the Mystic System.
Walk your own path, and leave others with nowhere to walk.
He ascended to heaven first, so of course he had to block the path for others to ascend, lest they try to steal his place.
He knew all too well how complicated this world was in his previous life.
He used the core code of the Skyfall Game to travel to this world with Game Character, and then told the top people that he was going to start a game on this planet and find a group of people to play with him.
It's similar to modern people playing with wild animals, except this game allows for resurrection, much like how killed prey can come back to life.
Those people naturally had many doubts, but given the time travel and the comparison of the Game Character's two thousand attributes, even if they had doubts, they had no choice but to cooperate.
Because no one can afford the consequences.
Thus, the God's Domain Game began to directly engage with consumers online and through various media outlets.
This alone is enough to terrify any forces that are unaware of the truth.
Official and private organizations from various countries, as long as they have some understanding, have already quietly intervened.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is no ordinary entertainment, but an opportunity to transcend social classes.
From retired seniors to school children, countless people are captivated by this.
Unfortunately, those "under 18" could only watch from the sidelines, helplessly expressing their "envy" in the forum.
9:50...
Zhang Mingzhen sat on the sofa, adjusted his body to its best condition, then leaned back on the sofa, put on a helmet, and waited for the countdown to end.
A subtle ripple stirred within him. Having survived a near-death experience in a car accident, he mostly appeared calm and composed.
The emotional turmoil I'm experiencing right now stems from a deep-seated delusion and some unrealistic speculations.
We'll have to enter the game to find out for sure.
He hoped that this seemingly extraordinary game could fulfill his wishes.
Compared to others, he was more accepting of this amazing game.
After all, he's a time traveler.
There has never been Golden Finger.
He felt that his Golden Finger probably lay in this game.
"I want to turn back time and bring the dead back to life!"
With this belief in mind, the countdown began.
"Ten, nine, eight... two, one!"
"Enter the game!"
Before Zhang Mingzhen's eyes, everything went from pitch black to light.
Finally, a line of silvery-white text appeared:
Welcome to the God's Domain.
"Here, you will begin a completely different second life, ascending from mortal to godhood!"
"Please name yourself first."
"Chongxing."
"Naming successful."
"Now, please 'Chongxing' your talent."
A spinning wheel, shimmering with iridescent light, appeared out of thin air; its surface was hazy, making it difficult to discern details.
Zhang Mingzhen was slightly surprised, after all, this was a CG-level animation for a feature film.
He stopped thinking about it and calmly said, "Begin the extraction."
The turntable spun rapidly like the wind, and a moment later a burst of intense white light appeared.
"Congratulations to 'Chongxing' for his extraordinary talent, obtaining the SSS-level talent - Yin Yang Messenger."
"The Yin Yang Messenger..."
He muttered to himself.
Although I was excited, it wasn't unexpected.
Just as I expected.
He's a time traveler; he definitely has Golden Finger!
And in this amazing game, this Golden Finger is put to the test.
This level of talent isn't something you can get just by luck.
He naturally had no idea that this Golden Finger was controlled by Gao Linzhi.
After all, the other party was also a time traveler, and Gao Linzhi wanted to learn more about the mysteries of time travel.
Gao Linzhi even believed that he might have transmigrated first, causing a vacuum to appear in the original imprint of the God's Domain world, and then another person was taken away from other worlds.
There are currently three worlds that have direct connections with Gao Linzhi.
Blue Star World, Skyfall World, and this world he was originally born in, the newly named "God's Domain".
Behind Zhang Mingzhen lies another world.
This is also why Gao Linzhi is paying close attention to the other party.
If Gao Linzhi could control this guy, he could have another world.
The Skyfall Game invades the world to seize the origin.
Therefore, each additional world is equivalent to an additional resource-producing region.
This is a mine.
He naturally wanted to make sure this guy went as far and as smoothly as possible, so that Gao Linzhi could easily profit from it.
Zhang Mingzhen, who was completely unaware of this, naturally regarded this talent as his own ability.
"Regardless of the attributes, it seems this wasn't obtained through winning the lottery."
"Because according to the official announcement, the highest talent players can normally obtain through luck is only S-rank."
"And the odds are about the same as winning the lottery, one in 17 million."
"This isn't something you can just randomly draw."
He said, "Show the details of your talent."
[Yin Yang Messenger: Priest- exclusive talent, unique talent for players.]
Those who walk between the realms of light and darkness possess a dual nature.
When one person's strength is insufficient, why not combine it with the strength of two?
[One begets two, two begets three, three begets all things.]
[Talent Skill 1: As Priest, one can simultaneously possess the attributes and skills of both "Light Priest" and "Shadow Priest," and equip two sets of corresponding gear, making one well-rounded in both offense and defense, and difficult to find a weakness.]
[Talent Skill 2: Gain three times the attribute points and skill points with each level up.]
[Talent Skill 3: Born from the land where Yin and Yang meet, the Other Shore Flower Spirit can transform into clones.]
[The clone possesses 50% of the original's attributes; the number summoned increases with level.]
[Talent 4: When health drops below 10%, the Self-Sacrifice state can be activated.]
[Healing is disabled under this status. You gain three seconds of invulnerability and can attack all targets within ten meters.]
[This attack is calculated as 100 times the healing amount, ignores defense and damage reduction, and deals true damage.]
[Health is fully restored after invincibility ends; skill cooldown is 24 hours.]
Examining his extraordinary, unique talent, Zhang Mingzhen was overjoyed.
If one can make good use of this skill, becoming the "chief Priest" is almost a certainty.
Moreover, he was thinking about "resurrection" even before he entered the game.
This seems to have determined the development of his talent.
In his view, his identity as a transmigrator and his inner obsessions were intertwined, and it was in this mysterious and unpredictable extraordinary game that he obtained his heaven-defying talent.
He had no idea that this was all Gao Linzhi's arrangement...
Of course, this talent also has a drawback, namely that it will firmly bind him to the Priest profession.
However, such a powerful effect gives even a healer the ability to turn the tide of battle.
Therefore, there is no need to hesitate about the next choice.
Please select your profession.
Seven figures suddenly appeared in his field of vision:
"A shieldbearer wielding a thunderous Shield Guard, renowned for his exceptional survivability."
"A mage surrounded by a frost storm, unleashing astonishing power."
"An assassin lurking in the shadows, known as the nemesis of healers;"
"An archer with perfect accuracy and top-tier single-target burst damage."
Swordsman skilled in both offense and defense, adept at close combat;
"Heavenly Strategist a class in Chinese martial arts) who can transform into a dragon and possesses both physical and magical powers."
"And Priest who practice medicine and heal the sick."
These are the seven classes currently available in the trailer for "God's Domain".
It's a cliché—but there's no other way; Gao Linzhi simply found the software code online.
There's no way we can innovate.
In order to level up quickly, most players tend to choose a class with high damage output.
Strong output is what makes someone able to show off.
Of course, this means high investment and high costs.
Damage-dealing classes have always been the top choice for whales (players who spend a lot of money on the game).
Only players with Small V, high account balance, female players, or those with fixed teams or studios will prioritize the Priest as a support class.
The outstanding Priest were recruited by various teams early on.
The skill level of these "wild man" healers often varies greatly.
"I just won't add anyone, who cares?" This has become the norm for casual healers, and professional ethics are out of the question.
It's common for someone to get upset during a chat and just run away, causing the entire party to wipe out.
In the early stages, without Fixed Team to share experience, it's generally difficult for Priest to keep up with the mainstream leveling speed.
Priest are a role that relies on the team; solo play is generally not Priest forte.
However, this was naturally not a problem for Zhang Mingzhen.
"Choose Priest."
"Job confirmed. Enter game?"
"Enter."
"Currently located in Mingyue Village on Line 1024, number of online players:..."
Following a prompt.
A white light suddenly filled Zhang Mingzhen's vision.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a bustling village square.
The surrounding area is a village with a mix of Chinese and Western styles, including ordinary tiled houses and pointed stone houses.
People of all professions are gathering in the square, and the noise of the crowd is deafening.
Zhang Mingzhen immediately looked down at his legs—straight and strong.
These were his former legs; he could feel them clearly!
Move around a bit, be flexible and free.
This feeling is completely different from the VR games I've played before.
Those games, of course, couldn't possibly let him experience the feeling of his legs recovering!
"Great! I can stand up again!"
This time... he once again truly felt the reality of regaining control.
My eyes suddenly felt hot.
Now that my legs have recovered, can my parents come back in this game world?
Just then, the sound of players complaining came from the side.
"Why did they just walk right in? No facial adjustments at all? Thumbs down!"
"This is so realistic! Would it hurt a lot to die? I've never experienced such a realistic game before..."
"Holy crap, this game is definitely a conspiracy, it must have been made by aliens!"
"That's just a conspiracy theory; it's definitely a technological breakthrough."
"There are too many people, I can't see anything in front of me at all!"
"Damn it, you can't walk through people in this game!"
"Everyone, move around a bit, don't all crowd in one place."
Where do I accept the beginner quests?
"There's not even an auto-pathfinding function? And where do we pick up the main quest? Anyone from the 'Invader Guild', raise your hand!"
"Don't all crowd here, you can see the quests on the summoning quest panel, let's spread out!" Finally, a player who had taken the initiative spoke up and shared some tips.
Players experiencing this realistic virtual game for the first time are clearly somewhat at a loss.
Experienced players, on the other hand, will quickly overcome their surprise and prioritize completing beginner quests to acquire basic equipment.
Once you're familiar with the game controls and have made some friends, then you can consider developing your own character, figuring out your own development strategy, and farming jungle monsters on your own.
In short, it's about getting one step ahead of others, and then staying ahead every step of the way.
Unless the other party spends money on in-game purchases.
