Meteor World.

Interstellar Bay.

The queue snaked for two blocks.

Everyone is holding the pre-order voucher tightly, with enthusiasm flashing in their eyes.

At the front of the team, Kongjie checked the time again with his fingers that were red from the cold, making it clear that there were still 37 minutes until <Civilization War> was released. He had been looking forward to this day for three years.

Now, it's about to happen.

Emotions of nervousness and anticipation intertwined in my heart.

Turn your head sideways and look forward.

At the front of the queue is a middle-aged man wearing a Star Warrior uniform, showing off his collection of historical collector's editions to the people around him. Further ahead are a pair of twins, who take turns standing guard, while the other one is huddled in a sleeping bag to catch up on his sleep.

Those who were able to stand in the front arrived two days in advance and brought dry food and water.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to get the game in the first place.

As my thoughts surged, "Auxiliary Brain" rang.

Take out Auxiliary Brain from your pocket and check it. The screen shows: Dad.

Kongjie bit his lower lip and finally pressed the answer button.

"Kongjie, you are already seventeen years old. It's time to consider joining the interstellar development program instead of queuing up all night to buy some games."

"This is my favorite strategy game, and it's the latest version for the 20th anniversary. The limited collector's edition includes..."

"That's enough, if your mother is still alive and sees this #..."

Kongjie abruptly cut off the call and stuffed Auxiliary Brain back into his pocket.

While his eyes were red, his knuckles were turning white from clenching them too tightly.

Five years later, my father is still like this. Every time he quarrels, he will eventually move out his dead mother.

Eight years ago, his father participated in the interstellar development project and never returned. He only occasionally communicated with him through the optical brain.

He didn't even come to his mother's funeral.

Although he is not around, he always has to give instructions on his life in a preaching tone. He hates this feeling.

"It's open!"

At this moment, the crowd suddenly became commotion.

Kongjie turned around and saw that the glass door of the game store opened to both sides like a water curtain, revealing a store environment filled with game boxes.

Kongjie's breathing stopped for a second, and then he stood decisively.

He was in seventh place and soon arrived in front of the store.

The robot standing in the store smiled and nodded at him with a gentle synthesized voice:

"Please show your pre-order code."

Kongjie took out the pre-order voucher from his pocket and connected it with the green beam emitted by the optical brain.

"Verification passed, buyer No. 7, this is your <Civilization War: Pioneer Special Edition>."

Taking the game box containing the CD, the dissatisfaction in Kongjie's heart was immediately overtaken by excitement.

He immediately turned around and walked quickly towards home.

After walking only a few steps, he suddenly felt as if the world in his eyes had changed color.

He suddenly looked up at the sky and saw a strange orange-red color in the clouds, as if something was burning.

The crowd nearby suddenly became commotion.

Someone pointed to the sky and shouted:

"Look, what is that?"

Kongjie swept the finger in the direction, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

I saw a fireball tearing through the clouds and emerging, with dozens of scattered contrails trailing behind it.

He could clearly see it disintegrating in the air, with the fragments scattered layer by layer, rapidly magnifying in his eyes.

"The meteor shower is coming, run!" someone screamed, and the crowd nearby became chaotic.

Boom!

The first piece of debris hit the towering shopping mall three blocks away, and the shock wave knocked Kongjie to the ground like an invisible giant hand.

The back of his head hit the pavement hard, and black spots appeared on the edges of his vision.

At the last second before losing consciousness, he saw a black stone the size of a fist spinning and falling towards the roof of the game store in the center of the meteor shower. Boom!

After the loud noise, Kongjie fell asleep completely.

On the other side, the black stone that hit the game store decomposed layer by layer in the ruins, and finally turned into a golden ball of light rising up.

After the light group hovered in the air for a short time, it suddenly shot towards the location of Kongjie.

To be more precise, it was the game box in his hand.

Finally, after coming into contact with the game box, it disappeared.

I don't know how long it took, but when I gradually regained consciousness, the first thing Kongjie smelled was the pungent smell of disinfectant.

Wrinkling his nose, he slowly opened his eyes.

The light blue ceiling of the hospital comes into view, and the regular beeping sound of the monitor can be heard in my ears.

"Are you awake?"

Turning around to look, the nurse was adjusting the infusion speed:

"Mild concussion, you're lucky. It's already a mess outside. Your area was hit by meteorite rain..." Listening to the nurse's story, Kongjie tried to sit up, his temples pounding:

"Is it an invasion by the End-Law Clan?"

"According to the public investigation information, it has nothing to do with the End-Law Clan. Although the front line is defeated, it will not lead to an attack on Interstellar Bay."

Kongjie nodded, then suddenly realized something, looked at the nurse and exclaimed:

"Where are my things!"

The nurse pulled out the locker from under the bed:

"It's all here."

Seeing that the game box was still there, Kongjie breathed a sigh of relief.

If the game box is lost, the next days will be difficult.

The pre-order this time is for the Pioneer Edition, and the official version will be released in half a year.

The worries in my heart dissipated, and the joy of surviving the disaster emerged.

After the nurse warned him of the precautions, he couldn't wait to go through the discharge procedures.

The streets outside were in a mess, Shatter's glass and bricks were scattered all over the ground, and the shouts and whistles of rescue workers were intertwined, but none of these could distract Kongjie's attention. He just wanted to return home as soon as possible and start the long-awaited game.

If tomorrow is the end of the world, then so be it. At least I can play games today.

When I got home and opened the door, the house was still the same as when I left.

Enter the study room and stand in front of the game table.

There were three things placed on the corner of the table against the wall: a bottle of antidepressants that had been discontinued for half a year, a dusty analog commander's glove, and an AD22 game console with a cracked screen.

These three things perfectly summarized his eighteen years of life: lost happiness, unfulfilled expectations, and the digital utopia that finally housed him. Since the death of his mother, gaming has changed from a hobby to oxygen.

Without his father by his side, the feedback from reality was endless loneliness, so he chose to dive into the magnificent game worlds and experience life in a different identity.

There, death is just a reload, loss is recoverable, and every problem has a solution.

Unlike reality, there are no hidden levels to unlock special medicines for Mother's Disease.

Kongjie carefully placed the game box on the table, took a deep breath, and slowly opened the box.

In addition to the golden game disc, there is also an exquisite setting book and a badge with the game LOGO printed on it.

He gently took out the CD, removed the plastic film and inserted it into the optical game console. Then he picked up the optical helmet and put it on his head.

A few seconds later, a line of text appeared in the darkness:

[Civilization War: Loading is in progress, initial loading may take a long time: 1...3%...])

The progress bar jumps on the retina, and the Dark Red-colored percentage progress bar loads slowly.

As time went by, Kongjie finally waited until the loading progress was 100%.

The next second, countless mosaic color blocks swept in like a blizzard, and the screen flashed.

Kongjie felt his head buzzing, followed by a tingling sensation.

But the pain comes and goes quickly.

An unfamiliar electronic synthesized sound emerged in his mind:

[Civilization Diagnosis Report]:

[Civilization code: Virtual Rune]

[Duration: Lost data, unable to determine]

[Death level: 999...%])

[Final Tinder carrier confirmation: <Civilization War> entertainment data terminal has been integrated]

[Number of remaining resuscitable individuals: 1 (Mirage-Fire Source)]

[Civilization Recovery Protocol started..])

As the prompt sounded in the ears, the torn picture healed, and Kongjie's vision fell from darkness into a dazzling white light.

When his pupils refocused, he found that he was suspended above a vast starry sky.

Underfoot is a planet wrapped in a lavender atmosphere. The outline of the land is like a broken mirror, and the seven floating continents are connected by luminous light bands.

The game background is already very familiar to Kongjie.

The gameplay of this game is the same as the previous game. Players will be in a super battlefield composed of seven suspended continents.

Each continent has different characteristics and produces different types of resources.

As the governor of a new civilization, the player needs to accompany the civilization on its long journey from barbarism to glory after selecting the initial civilization. The initial stage starts with collecting basic resources, and then climbs the technology tree step by step, builds rune workshops and other buildings, and unlocks civilization technology. The gameplay of the game is mainly divided into diplomacy, war, trade, conspiracy, etc.

But the core gameplay is still war. In the early stage, there are more resources, so you can develop with peace of mind. In the later stage, resources can only be obtained through war mode. [Initial civilization loading completed]

When the cold prompt sounded, a row of familiar game interfaces popped up in front of Kongjie.

Above are the seven familiar civilization choices... No, it's eight.

In addition to the inherent natural magic, biotechnology, mechanical technology, alchemical civilization, elemental civilization, Shadow Civilization, and undead civilization, there is actually an additional civilization system called "Virtual Rune".

As an old player, he pays attention to game-related information.

Before this, I had never heard of a game launching a brand new civilization system.

Out of curiosity, he pointed forward with his right hand wearing the optical brain glove.

Immediately, the relevant introduction information of "Virtual Rune Civilization" appeared:

[Virtual Rune was originally the digital civilization of Two-dimensional, which uses data flow as the carrier of life... In the long years of development, it successfully broke through the three-dimensional limit and completed the upgrading of civilization. However, the tragic war in the big world completely destroyed its civilization, leaving only the most primitive civilization fire and escaping from the big world... The redevelopment of civilization is about to begin.]

The introduction information made Kongjie feel that it was completely wrong and seemed completely inconsistent with the background of the game.

The beginnings of the other seven civilizations are all stories between Seven Continents. Only this Virtual Rune is the Two-dimensional civilization upgraded to three dimensions. There is no mention of the background line connecting with the other seven races in the background of the story.

Thinking that what he was experiencing was the "Pioneer Edition", there must be something different, so he decided to choose this new civilization that he had never experienced before as the pioneering civilization.

After completing the selection, the screen changes to a God's perspective.

After the clouds dispersed, he looked down at the earth.

What appears in the field of vision is a valley surrounded by mountains, and a golden altar stands in the middle of the scene.

Secondly, the resource bar, technology tree, and unit list loom in sight... it looks like a standard SLG interface.

When you reach out and swipe forward, your perspective immediately moves, and time accelerates in the upper right corner.

[Whether to accept the Tinder Agreement: Yes/No]

Just then, a reminder popped up in my mind.

Kongjie instinctively chose: Yes.

Suddenly the altar below shook, and soon a ball of flames that looked like elemental life spit out.

After Kongjie focused his eyes, the information about the initial arms was presented:

[Flint (initial unit)]:

Ability introduction

Collection: It can analyze substances at high speed and decompose substances into pure data streams. The resource mining speed is +1500%.

Construction: Can quickly build illuminated civilization buildings, speed +5000%.

After reading the introduction of flint, Kongjie was shocked.

The initial unit has a mining speed of 15 times and a construction speed of 50 times. What kind of magical unit is this?

"It seems that this is a civilization that is strong in the early stage, but it is too strong at the beginning."

After clarifying the positioning of the Virtual Rune civilization, Kongjie reached out and clicked on the flint unit that looked like a ball of flame, dragged it to the nearest Magic Crystal mining area from the overlooking perspective, and began to collect the initial development resources of the civilization.

From an overhead perspective, the flint moves very fast. After entering the nearby level 1 Magic Crystal mining area, the resource bar begins to refresh with Magic Crystal stones. Move your hands forward to zoom in.

It can be seen that the flint in the mining area is being mined against the ore Crystal Cluster. Crystal Cluster quickly dissipates as if it is melting, turning into a string of data flow codes and entering the flint's body.

The accelerated time passes in the game. Half an hour in reality is like a month in the game.

While letting the flint mine resources, Kongjie himself observed from a god's perspective what resources were near the randomly chosen initial location. On the 25th day, Kongjie let the altar consume resources to breed three flint units, two of which were logging, and the remaining two continued to mine the Magic Crystal mine. In the second month, a brand new building was built next to the altar.

The name of this building is "Data Transfer Center".

The strength of the new building is truly exceptional.

With this new building, the Flint Engineers no longer need to transport resources back and forth.

No matter where you are, the mined low-grade crystal ore resources can be connected to the data transmission center through data transmission, and then transferred to the altar. As for wood and high-purity crystal ore, they cannot be transmitted temporarily, and the building level of the data transmission center needs to be upgraded.

The strong start made him feel that this civilization was too supermodel.

But considering that this is the pioneer version, it makes sense. Maybe the version will be weakened after the official version is released.

The current strength can be understood as the experience mode, which speeds up the development of civilization and allows you to experience more setting content.

In the third month, the first batch of combat arms "Hash Hunter" was born.

The ability is to decompose and seal the enemy, and extract part of the power of the killed life to use to improve one's own strength.

The first combat unit turned out to be a growth-type unit. While Kongjie was surprised, he also became strongly curious about the future direction of this eighth civilization.

With such a supermodel setting, how will the other seven civilizations play?

In the eighth month, the guardian beast herd in the second Magic Crystal mining area was wiped out, and Hash Hunter returned with the loot.

Among the loot are 12 bundles of Crystallized Beast Horn, several pieces of high-purity Magic Crystal cores, and a new resource mining channel.

Kongjie also commanded the flint engineers to build the first Smelting Workshop from the perspective of God on this day. The crystal horns were smelted into energy crystal blocks here and then transported to the altar to provide fuel for the birth of the next batch of troops.

In the 11th month, the construction of the first lumberyard was also completed.

Stout hemlocks mined nearby were processed into lumber and then converted into stream lumber, which was used to build fortifications.

In the evening, a reconnaissance team composed of five Hash Hunter was heading to the coordinates marked in the northwest. The task given to them by Kongjie was to explore the foggy area of the map and look for potential threats or resource points.

On the 20th, the first batch of official combat arms, Rune Guard, was born.

It looks like a headless warrior, wearing armor inlaid with Magic Crystal, and holding a war spear that can release energy shock. It is better at frontal combat than Hash Hunter. Kongjie did not rush to attack, choosing to consolidate its territory first.

East side: Two rune sentry towers were established along the river to monitor nearby scene movements and prevent attacks by external forces.

South side: Start mining the newly discovered open-pit Magic Crystal mine, which is more efficient than underground veins.

West side: The logging team goes deep into the jungle to look for Spirit Pattern Wood that was discovered before, which can be used to make more advanced rune equipment.

During this period, the reconnaissance team continued to send back updated intelligence information.

On the 32nd month, the Virtual Rune civilization controlled by Kongjie officially encountered the first native civilization in the game, "Forge Clan".

This is a small civilization outside the seven major civilization systems. It has established a small empire and occupies multiple resource areas.

Whether it is diplomacy to establish alliances, expand trade connections, or initiate war.

Kongjie's idea is to continue to develop, and when the strength is sufficient, directly launch a war and plunder the resources and territory of the Forge Civilization.

Kongjie, who had been playing continuously for 16 hours and was feeling hungry, chose to log off at this time.

Looking up at the optical brain display, an incredible scene happened to him.

Although it has been offline, Virtual Rune in the game is still developing.

Not that there's anything wrong with continuing to develop.

Previous years' Civilization War version also had an automatic development mode, but it was limited to continuing to mine the resources specified by the player when it went online.

But in the Virtual Rune civilization in the light curtain screen, even new buildings have begun to be constructed.

The unusual scene made Kongjie a little confused.

"New game mode?"

He guessed that this was a new gameplay officially launched by the game, allowing a higher degree of freedom in the development of civilization.

When the player intervenes, he is the master and decision-maker of the civilization.

When you go offline and let go, civilization will also optimize and develop according to its own characteristics.

"It's interesting."

Putting the optical brain helmet on the desk, he got up and went to the refrigerator to start working on dinner.

During this period, I took out Auxiliary Brain from my pocket, opened the software skillfully, and looked through the latest game information.

However, I found that the news list contained intensive reports on news related to meteorite falls.

The second is the frontline information. End-Law Clan has launched a full-scale war against the Interstellar Alliance, and the frontline has shown a trend of collapse.

According to experts in the news, this war may be the turning point for the destruction of the Interstellar Alliance.

It's going to be the end of the world.

Kongjie doesn't care about this.

A small person like him is powerless to stop the future.

The only thing I'm worried about is the father I haven't seen for many years. He is in the frontline star field and may be affected by this war. "Never mind."

Shaking his head and no longer thinking about the tedious things in reality, Kongjie picked up the plate and came to the dining table, ate deeply, and began to think about the next development direction of civilization.

Log in to the player communication area through Auxiliary Brain.

He looked through the information related to the eighth civilization "Virtual Rune Civilization".

However, I found that there were no players in the communication area discussing this early-stage strength supermodel civilization, and the most popular discussion was still "Shadow Civilization", the strongest player in the previous version.

After searching for a long time, Kongjie fell into deep thought.

Players who got the game this time activated the Pioneer version, so they should have been exposed to the Eighth Civilization.

Old players generally choose new civilizations for gaming experience, but no one mentioned it in the communication area, which seems a bit unusual.

At this time, he thought of the instructions at the official press conference before the game was released.

At the time, an official spokesperson stated that many hidden Easter eggs were embedded in the Pioneer version, some of which were rare and would be randomly placed in the pre-ordered game boxes.

At that time, his understanding of this passage was that the easter eggs were additional gifts such as the settings set in the game box.

Now that I think about it, it is probably the first experience of the Eighth Civilization.

"What a good luck." After figuring out the reason, Kongjie suddenly felt happy.

Swallowing the food from the dinner plate into his stomach, he returned to the room, put on the optical brain helmet and entered the game again.

Civilization War, Start!

But as soon as he entered the game, Kongjie was stunned. During the meal time, two new buildings had already risen from the ground.

After checking the introduction information of the two new functional buildings, Kongjie decisively split them into resources and continued the game according to his own ideas. Month 39.

The Virtual Rune civilization under the control of Kongjie launched a war against the Forge Clan.

In this battle, the special unit "Firewall" first showed Divine Might, which can be called an absolute defense. The training unit's units were unable to break through the defense line formed by Firewall. The newly developed unit "Rune Virus" showed terrifying destructive power.

For example, Rune Virus from Guangtuan is like a real-life worm. Once it invades Forge Clan's war machine, it will tamper with the operating logic of the opponent's arms, and even control the opponent's arms to fight.

Facing the torrent of data legions, Forge Clan was powerless to resist, and the lava wall was reduced to rubble.

Forge Clan's heavily armored warriors fell in pieces in the data storm released by "Apocalypse". The legendary weapons forged by the Forge Clan were decomposed by the data warriors before they could even be used.

The war was one-sided and overwhelming. In just two months, the three fortresses of the Forge Clan fell one after another.

Kongjie, who directed the battle process, felt like he was cheating and the whole process was fun.

When the flag of the virtual Rune Empire was planted on the highest point of the Forge, the forging civilization dominating the north of the scene was extinguished.

In the 40th month, news of the destruction of the Forge Empire spread throughout the area.

Several civilized forces near the territory sent alliance applications, but Kongjie chose to reject them all.

The early stage is a good time for development. There is no need to establish alliances with native ethnic groups. If you don't take advantage of now to accelerate development, you will face threats from other players in the future.

In the game experience day after day, the scale of the Rune Empire controlled by Kongjie becomes larger and larger.

I finally encountered the civilized empire controlled by the player in the game.

The opponent is playing the most popular civilization of the previous generation, "Shadow Civilization".

After each other dispatched reconnaissance troops to disperse the fog in the other's area, the other party sent multiple question marks.

Shadow Roar: Brother, what's going on with your civilization? Virtual Rune Empire. Is there still this civilization in the game?

Kongjie: Hidden easter egg, you can choose the eighth civilization "Virtual Rune".

Shadow Roar: Damn, you are so awesome. I am so jealous of you. How about you tell me more about this civilization?

Kongjie: A super powerful model that will definitely be weakened after its official release. The development speed of the early trial version is unrivaled.

Shadow Roar: It's interesting, let's give it a try?

Kongjie: Come!

After the small talk, the first round of confrontation with the players begins.

Although the game was launched at almost the same time, the gap between the virtual Rune Empire and the Shadow Empire can be described as worlds apart. At the beginning of the war, the "Shadow Assaulter" troops of the Shadow Empire tried to use high-speed mobility to launch guerrilla warfare.

However, as soon as they approached Rune Empire, who was under the control of Kongjie, they were intercepted by the "Firewall Matrix". All assassins who sneaked into the shadows were imprisoned by the data the moment they appeared, and completely lost their ability to resist.

When Shadow Civilization's proud "Abyss Behemoth" appeared, it was greeted by Kongjie's newly lit weapon "Blue Screen Bomb". This monster made of dark energy came into contact with Blue Screen Bomb during the charge, and countless error codes suddenly appeared in its body, wrapping around its body like chains. Then its body turned into pixel blocks and collapsed amid the system crash sound effect.

The whole war showed a one-sided crushing situation.

The core troops summoned by the Shadow Empire were wiped out by the "Antivirus Program" tanks on the main battlefield.

When the data torrent of the Rune Empire engulfed the main city of the Shadow Empire, battlefield statistics showed that the battle loss ratio between the two sides reached an astonishing 32,000:3.879 million. Shadow Roar left only one sentence before the collapse of civilization:

"This is not a supermodel. Is she cheating?"

Then the Shadow Empire disappeared from the map.

But what puzzles Kongjie is that he actually swallowed up all the resources of the Shadow Empire in this war.

This is not consistent with the game settings.

In the game settings of previous generations, if the civilization controlled by the player fought against the enemy civilization, even if the entire army was destroyed, it would only lose one-tenth of its resources, and then refresh at random locations on the seven continents.

This setting ensures that players do not need to start over every time they fail.

The only losses in war are resources.

Secondly, damaged functional buildings can be repaired by investing resources and do not need to be rebuilt.

But in this round of confrontation, he actually devoured all the resources of the Shadow Empire. After looking at the values displayed on the resource bar again, Kongjie was completely confused.

What Kongjie didn't know was that "Shadow Roar" also fell into a state of confusion after exiting the game.

After re-entering the game, a text popped up on his optical brain display:

[The game data is damaged and has been lost. Please create a new civilization and start the game.]

I thought that after re-entering the game, I would start over at a random location.

But he didn't expect that all the data he had been working on for a long time was lost. This battle shattered his mentality.

"What a broken game. It has such serious bugs just after it was launched!"

Shadow Roar, who became more and more angry as he thought about it, began to smash the desk with all his strength, and then reluctantly chose to restart the game, but the options were still the original seven civilizations, and there was no virtual Rune Empire option at all.

On the other side, Rune Empire, controlled by Kongjie, entered a period of crazy expansion after the war.

The following days.

The digital "civilization characteristics advantage" allowed the empire to spread like a virus. Wherever the assimilation beacon was inserted, the land there was automatically converted into a rune territory.

Forests were reorganized into rune lumber factories in the data flow, mountains were parsed into modular mines, and even rivers were encoded into energy transmission networks. In just 12 months, the empire's territory expanded fourfold, and the border was pushed to "Ashes Rift" in the northwest corner of the continent.

Just when the digital expansion touched the ancient ruins deep in the rift valley, Kongjie triggered the hidden mission in <Civilization War>.

An option prompt appears in the retina:

[The ancient demon "Rock Heart Clan" is sealed in Ashes Rift. Do you want to continue to explore this place? If you continue to explore, there is a chance that Rock Heart Clan will be released. There is a risk of civilization destruction. Yes/No.]

Faced with the options, Kongjie, who was extremely confident, chose to continue exploring, and the hidden conditions were immediately triggered.

[Ashes Rift's seal is lifted, Rock Heart Clan is revived, and Rune Empire is about to be attacked by demons.]

Faced with the sudden hidden easter egg crisis, Kongjie chose a head-on confrontation.

However, it was discovered that the advantages of the data arms in the war could not be brought into play at all. Facing the Core Devil, Firewall was ineffective and the virus was ineffective. In various war judgments, the Core Devil's ability priority was higher than that of the data arms under his control.

When the Core Demon activated the "Earth Vein Annihilation" civilization stunt, the data structure of the entire vanguard army collapsed directly and was destroyed in pieces.

Kongjie watched helplessly as half of the territory that had been expanded for 12 months was lost in half a month.

At this time, he has two choices: give up the war and flee and migrate, which can save the loss of resources caused by the collapse of civilization.

Exactly how much loss can be recovered depends on whether Rockheart Demon Clan will hunt down during the migration.

Or negotiate a surrender, but the outcome is unknown.

You can put forward conditions for surrender, such as submitting a portion of resources, and if you agree, you can get a truce period for a certain period of time.

If the other party does not agree, the war will continue, and the final result is likely to be the destruction of civilization, which will then be refreshed at a random location. Just when Kongjie was hesitant to make a choice, a dialog box suddenly popped up in his retina.

Mirage (Fire Source): Hello Archon, I need your help.

Kongjie was stunned by the sudden dialog box.

Mirage is the name of the altar of the Rune Empire, and it is also the only fire type preserved in the background introduction of the Rune Empire.

What he didn't expect was that Mirage could initiate a conversation with him.

"Is there an AI dialogue function in this game?"

Out of curiosity, he entered a line of text:

"Mirage, what help do you need from me."

Mirage: Archon, the equipment you are using is relatively backward, and its information processing capabilities can no longer meet the growing needs of the empire. I hope you can upgrade the configuration.

Mirage's answer left Kongjie confused.

"What do you mean? Did I not build an important functional building?"

Mirage: It has nothing to do with the content in the virtual scene. We hope that you can upgrade the processing capabilities of the real device, preferably by replacing it with a new device with better performance.

Mirage's reply made Kongjie completely dumbfounded.

Just saw a request from Mirage.

What he was thinking was that the direction of adding points to civilization was wrong, so the game reminded him by having a conversation with Mirage.

But he didn't expect... He was attracted by the civilization he created in the game and disliked the fact that the configuration of the real-life optical brain was too low.

This is unreasonable!
