The body in the game room automatically connected to the hose, and as the nutrient solution gradually filled the body, the vision blurred.
This made Ji Chen extremely curious.
He tried to resist this feeling that was like being withdrawn from consciousness, but was surprised to find that he could not resist the strong sleepiness at all.
"What a powerful technology."
After returning to Earth, he has roughly understood the current environment of Earth.
Before time travel, he watched a lot of cartoons and movies.
The popularity of the time-travel theme remains high.
At that time, he was young and frivolous, full of longing for traveling to another world.
I have even imagined more than once that after returning to Earth, I can have a hearty show-off and slap in the face like the protagonist in the story, and enjoy the admiration of everyone.
But after spending more than 200 years in a different world, the ruthless carving knife of time has quietly smoothed away the passion he had when he was young.
The pretense plot that he once thought about so much now doesn't stir up any emotion in his heart.
He felt that his heart, which had gone through many vicissitudes of life, had long lost its desire for excitement.
But the fact is.
The environment had already changed after he returned to Earth, and even if he wanted to show off, he couldn't.
The powerful Moon Eclipse Clan masters countless cutting-edge technologies, but the technologies he provides have not attracted the attention of Data City's senior staff.
The Data City administrator who spoke to him at the time said this:
"We will arrange for professionals to conduct rigorous verification of the technologies you provide... However, in the current environment and the extreme lack of spiritual resources, there is a high probability that these technologies will not be fully promoted and applied."
"Today's human race, under the influence of the Moon Eclipse Clan, has opened up a new development path of its own... But we still want to thank you for your support."
The administrator was very polite, but Ji Chen also heard that he did not attach as much importance to the technology he carried as he imagined when he arrived.
And what the administrator said, he agreed with from the bottom of his heart.
The output of spiritual resources is indeed the core factor affecting technological development.
But this conversation also made him extremely curious about the Moon Eclipse Clan.
This was the first time he entered Virtual Game Pod. This feeling of almost withdrawing from consciousness made him deeply realize how powerful the technology of the Moon Eclipse Clan was.
But what he was confused about was why the human race trusted Moon Eclipse Clan so much.
In the era he lived in, this would have been impossible.
After all, only independence can lead to a future. To entrust the future to a foreigner, this kind of trust is really difficult for him to understand.
And this is exactly why he chose to experience virtual games.
Many questions may be gradually revealed in the process of experiencing virtual games.
As his thoughts surged, his eyes were completely shrouded in darkness.
A few seconds later, a ray of light appeared through the darkness, and low epic music sounded in my ears, accompanied by chants that sounded like they were coming from afar.
What is presented in front of you is a high-altitude bird's-eye view,
The four big characters Emperor's Tomb Mountain Range appeared in the eyes and then disappeared.
The camera suddenly dropped from a high altitude, passing through the surging black fog, and the bloody Waning Crescent hung high in the sky.
Dark Red The rays of light fall on the towering mountains. The ridges are winding like giant dragons, and the rugged black rock peaks pierce the sky. Looking down from above, they look like the remains of ancient gods and demons.
In the distance, the earth cracked into deep ravines, magma surged undercurrents, and hot steam rose, intertwining with the moonlight to form a bloody mist.
I saw a lonely figure floating on the high tower with his hands folded across his chest, behind him were evil eyes waving tentacles, and in the background was a huge bloody Waning Crescent.
At this moment, his vision suddenly jumped and stretched towards the sky.
The clouds recede like waves, the blue water laps against the white sandy beach, and the colorful mist floats like silk between the sea and the sky, reflecting a dreamlike rainbow light.
The sight penetrates into the sea, and huge coral reefs rise from the bottom of the sea, forming a magnificent natural palace. Schools of fish jump out of the water, and their scales flash like Stars.
Ascension Island, Ancient God Arena, the field of book words... countless scenes passed quickly.
The overhead shot jumps again.
The cold wind suddenly rose, and the scene was instantly swallowed up by a pale blizzard.
The camera zooms across the endless snowfields, the aurora dances in the dark night sky, the glaciers stand tall, and the ice crystals roar in the strong wind...
Act 4 scene, Sen Luo Lin Realm.
The wind and snow dissipated, and vitality flourished.
Towering ancient trees rise from the ground, and their branches and leaves intertwine to form a green dome that blocks the sky and the sun.
Fluorescent mushrooms are dotted in the forest like stars, vines are hanging down, petals are dancing, and the earth is as bright as a star river at night.
At the end of the picture, the image is fixed on a Big Mushroom that is as high as the sky, and then the line of sight jumps again...
The scene that quickly passed by made Ji Chen extremely shocked.
He couldn't imagine that this would be a real scene in the game.
In contrast, he prefers to believe that this is modern CG technology, and only the opening animation can provide such a realistic scenery experience.
The end of the opening scene.
The camera suddenly accelerated, passing through the forest, passing over the mountains, crossing the ocean, and rushing towards a burning land.
On the red wasteland, three red suns float on the horizon, never falling.
The blazing wind swept up Sand Dust, forming a spiraling fire tornado on the ground.
The scene finally settled on a land full of ruins, the music stopped abruptly, and a line of burning text appeared in the darkness:
[Welcome to Monster World, start picking your initial Monster Soul.]
After the burning words dissipated, Ji Chen's heart was still not at peace.
At this moment, his sight also jumped to the blue Crystal Wall where dozens of monsters were imprisoned.
His eyes focused on the first monster, and information about the monster suddenly appeared in his mind.
[Stone Gargoyle...]
Ji Chen suddenly felt a little bit interested in the choice of initial abilities at the start.
When he had not yet traveled through time, he had been exposed to many online games.
In my mind, the most classic settings in online games are undoubtedly the three iron triangle professions of combat, magic, and animal husbandry.
Other schools are also derived from these three professions.
Like Monster World, there are dozens of career options at the beginning, which makes him feel very novel.
After looking through various abilities of the initial Monster Soul in detail, Ji Chen finally focused on the owl-like creature in Containment Cell No. 2 with fiery red wings.
Immediately relevant information emerged.
[Are you sure to select "Eagle Head Demon" as the initial Monster Soul.]
OK.
As soon as the idea came to his mind, Eagle Head Demon quickly zoomed in his sight, and its sharp claws clawed straight towards his face.
"Thought reading?"
As soon as you have an idea, the selection will be completed automatically.
Ji Chen once again gained a new understanding of the technical content of this game.
In his eyes, Moon Eclipse Clan already has civilization and technology that surpasses the White Demon family.
His choice of Eagle Head Demon was mainly related to his fighting style.
During the long journey to another world, his fighting method was mainly based on releasing mental power and converting it into telekinesis to control objects.
This ability was taught by Dragonborn himself.
Including members of various races in their resistance army, most of them learned the abilities taught by Dragonborn.
As Dragonborn said at the beginning, White Demon's biggest mistake in his life was to summon it to a different world, which doomed White Demon's failure.
In the perception picture, the spine lights up like a galaxy.
The Monster Soul ball, which symbolizes Eagle Head Demon, is embedded in the first groove on the spine.
Suddenly, an indescribable force surged into his body.
At this time, the prompt sounded again, asking for a name for the game character.
Ji Chen After thinking for a moment, he entered a line of text:
Returners.
[Tip: The game name is already used by another player.]
Explorer.
[Tip: The game name is already used by another player.]
Reborner, Reverse Traveler, Grave Dweller... Each name indicates that it has been used by other players.
Feeling helpless, Ji Chen entered again:
[After rebirth, I still can't beat him]
[Challenger Tip: Successfully named, welcome to Monster World: Reincarnation and Return, still can't beat it.]
Ji Chen:...
After the name was successfully chosen, the four characters Chasing Sun Space flashed in his eyes, and the Crystal Wall in front of him quickly collapsed and disappeared.
In an instant, countless noisy sounds exploded in my ears.
"Everyone is now a qualified player. If you speak louder from now on, you won't be blocked even if you enter the live broadcast room, hahahaha."
"New brothers, look here. The newly-formed team lacks a player who can handle injuries. It is best to start with Monster Soul, Stone Gargoyle or rock shield." "Receive Sacrificial Power, 1 to 50 unlimited, the price is fair, transfer in seconds, the liar will kill the whole family!"
"Everyone, please stop arguing. Listen to me. I will release a newly produced Monster World plug-in with unlimited Sacrificial Power, unlimited power, unlimited physical strength... and can skip one hour of resurrection cooling, fidelity, price of 1 billion Sacrificial Power, and no after-sales service."
All kinds of shouts made Ji Chen feel a headache.
Looking around, densely packed figures surged like a tide.
Thousands of cute newcomers wearing the same black cloth as him filled the entire square.
Some players were bumping around like headless flies, some were squatting on the ground studying something, and there were more figures just like him, standing there dumbly, shocked and speechless by this exaggerated sea of people.
A white teleport light lights up in the distance from time to time, and every time it flashes, a cute new player will be teleported out.
But soon more black figures will join this boiling ocean.
This is Newbie Village. It is even more outrageous than the Spring Festival travel train station in his memory.
In such a crowded scene, it is difficult to find a gap to get out.
But Ji Chen's attention quickly shifted to himself.
His expression suddenly froze.
He looked down at his hands.
The skin that was originally full of cracks and looked like withered tree bark is now smooth and complete, glowing with a healthy luster under the light of the virtual scene.
His fingers also became slender and strong. As he flexed and stretched slightly, the joints made crisp sounds without any of the familiar tingling sensation in his memory.
He pressed his chest violently.
The hideous scar that once spread from the collarbone to the abdomen also disappeared.
Through the rough black cloth, he could feel the young and vigorous heartbeat coming from his chest.
Although the white hair on his head still hung down on his shoulders like snow, when he twisted his neck, there was no stagnation caused by aging.
"This..."
Ji Chen was shocked in his heart, and subconsciously jumped on the spot. The long-lost lightness made him almost stagger.
The decayed internal organs no longer hindered his movements, and the atrophied muscles became tight again.
He tried to punch the air. Although it was soft and powerless, far inferior to the decayed body, the smooth feeling of the perfect cooperation between the joints and tendons made his eyes heat up.
There is no dull pain from old injuries, or the suffocating feeling of organ failure.
He took a deep breath of air greedily, even the expansion of his lungs was a luxury he had never imagined.
This made Ji Chen realize that this data-reconstructed body allowed him to return to the state of his youth.
He slowly closed his eyes at this moment, letting the long forgotten lightness flow through his body.
He took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly. The sound of blood rushing could be heard clearly in his ears.
Feeling every ray of vitality exuded by Qi and Blood in his body, he felt like a dead tree blooming with spring, glowing with vitality from the inside out.
After a long time, Ji Chen opened his eyes.
The excitement in his heart was suppressed, and a smile appeared on his face:
"This game... really exceeded my expectations. It seems that the rest of my life will be very interesting."
Following the flow of people, he slowly moved forward, trying to dodge, but the crowd still squeezed him.
Looking around, in addition to human players, you can also see many players of different races.
At this moment, a foreign player huddled with him looked at him:
"Brother, what is the initial Monster Soul?"
Faced with the inquiry, Ji Chen replied with a smile:
"Eagle Head Demon."
"It's a pity. I wanted to form a team with you. Eagle Head Demon Monster Soul is indeed very strong, but the combat effectiveness at the beginning is too low. I will definitely have to grab monsters when I go out. Teaming up with you will not be efficient in killing."
As he spoke, the alien player waved his hand proudly and condensed a golden burning battle axe:
"I start with Li Man Axe, which is used to quickly upgrade in the early stage and transfer the damage flow in the later stage. This is the strongest starting choice."
Ji Chen smiled and nodded without arguing.
He knows very little about this game, and he really doesn't know which starting point Monster Soul is the strongest.
Unlike other players who consult a lot of information before entering the game and compare which version Monster Soul is, he cares more about the experience rather than which gameplay is better.
Before entering the game, my understanding of Monster World was limited to the various monster information in the Monster Manual.
But these monster information are obviously not useful.
After all, this is the latest scene that has been opened this time, a new area that even old players have not yet explored.
He planned to wait until he got out of the scene to practice and understand what it felt like to release his abilities.
Although the game claims to have perfect physical performance that simulates reality, even if the realism of the scene is achieved to the extreme, the skills in the game are ultimately fake things created.
There is a fundamental gap with real supernatural power, and this gap obviously cannot be made up in the game.
When fiction blends into reality, there will definitely be various awkwardnesses.
But the fact that the game can be so real has exceeded his expectations.
Finally, he followed the crowd to the exit of the scene, and then followed the crowd through the invisible barrier, and his body was suddenly enveloped in white light.
When his vision became clear, Ji Chen was stunned by the scene before his eyes.
Staying in a pure white space scene with nothing but cute new players, you can still feel like a virtual world.
But when he left the space scene, he couldn't find any flaws in the picture in front of him.
On the sky dome at the end of the sight, three dim little suns hang in a triangle shape high in the sky. The light they emit is not dazzling, as if it is softened by some invisible filter, casting a warm halo. The scene is like dusk.
Ji Chen squatted down and reached out to touch the ground.
The touch from his fingertips made his heart throb.
Pick up a grain of gravel, and the edges and corners of each grain of gravel on the surface of the rough sandstone can be clearly discerned. You can feel the subtle temperature difference of the rock under the sun with your fingertips. If you look closely, you can even see subtle weathering lines.
Grab a handful of sand, the trajectory and weight of the particles slipping through your fingers, and even the shape of the dust floating in the air are all exactly the same as reality.
The only difference is that the gravity of the Monster World scene seems to be slightly different from that of the earth.
However, this perception may be biased due to the physical experience reshaped by data.
After all, when the strength of the body changes, the perceived gravity will also change.
Standing up, he looked at the horizon.
The pupils trembled slightly at this moment.
The reality of this world has surpassed the realm of simulation in his cognition.
He couldn't imagine what kind of technology could create such real physical laws.
Having lived for more than two hundred years, he did not expect to be so shocked when he returned to Earth.
The scenes constructed virtually have a more realistic sensory impact than reality.
Feeling the warmth of the light from the three suns on the back of his hand, Ji Chen was stunned.
Hearing the voice coming from behind, Ji Chen decisively stepped aside and saw a three-meter-tall alien player walking past him carrying a khaki shield, and then turned to glare at him.
Faced with provocation, Ji Chen did not respond.
He was still in shock inside.
The more he learned, the more he realized the technical content and even the terrifying resource consumption required to create such a realistic scene.
Even Dragonborn, who is omnipotent in his eyes, is simply impossible to do this.
What made him even more unbelievable was the air here.
A breeze blew and he smelled a smell he had never experienced before.
It seems to be the mineral smell of burning rocks, with some plant fragrance similar to mint, and an indescribable slight burning sensation.
The key point is the aura content in the air.
Even compared to the other world he had struggled for 200 years, it was far behind.
It can't even be said to be on the same level.
The spiritual energy content here is hundreds of times stronger than in other worlds, or even more.
Ji Chen took another deep breath unconsciously.
Suddenly, it was like a clear spring was injected into the lungs.
Every subsequent breath made him feel satisfied. Almost substantial spiritual energy particles poured into his body along the trachea and turned into a warm trickle in his chest. The fatigue caused by adapting to the earth's environment for many days was swept away.
Ji Chen closed his eyes again, Dragonborn's laughter appeared in his mind:
"Chen, you have never experienced the charm of the big world, so you are destined to be unable to understand a world that can breed powerful people. Every breath you take can bring about optimization of life levels... Don't believe it, the energy you get from practicing hard now may not be as good as normal breathing in the big world. The only difference is that normal breathing cannot use energy and can only evolve passively, and you have learned to use energy through the cultivation methods I teach."
Looking back now, Ji Chen finally understands the meaning behind what Dragonborn said.
I also understand why Dragonborn uses "sucking in and out of the essence of the world" to describe cultivation. Just as every breath taken at this moment is absorbing the purest life energy from the air.
Use your skin to feel the flow of spiritual energy brought by the breeze.
Invisible energy brushed across his browbones and bridge of nose like silk, and finally poured into his body with his breath, stirring and spreading throughout his body.
This feeling makes Ji Chen intoxicated.
Originally he only entered the game with an experience mentality, but this game brought him too many shocks and surprises.
He realized that the rest of his life might become very interesting.
