The countdown ended, and 100 players appeared on the plane.
This game is on the island map.
Ling Yi controlled the mouse and keyboard, constantly switching perspectives, keeping a close eye on the parachuting players.
Players jumped off one by one, and soon the plane's flight path had covered most of the Map.
When Ling Yi saw a player dressed in a Daoist robe jump out of the plane with a parachute on his back, Ling Yi pressed the "F" key without thinking and followed him.
"Sorry, although you were my idol when I was a kid, that's just how the game works. In the end, only one person gets hurt. It's better to let me benefit than someone else!"
Uncle Nine is one of the players bound to the Launcher in the world of Mr. Vampire.
This is the sixth time Uncle Nine has been forced to log into the game. The game mechanism of having to log in once a month is the same in every world.
In the first five attempts, Uncle Nine's results were disastrous. After all, the world of Mr. Vampire doesn't even have Computer, so how much depth of understanding could you expect Uncle Nine to have in the game?
Especially the first time he entered the e-sports room, poor Uncle Nine was trapped inside for five days. Afterwards, he randomly pressed the mouse and happened to click the "auto match" button.
That's how he finished the game in a daze and left the e-sports room.
The second time I was much more experienced; I just clicked "match" as soon as I logged in and ignored everything else.
He couldn't skydive, so he was thrown directly into the sea by the plane and died from the poison gas.
The third time, Uncle Nine was much calmer and began to seriously study the game. Looking at the "F" parachute prompt, he finally found the key on the keyboard and learned how to parachute.
And so...
Uncle Nine seemed to have discovered a new world. By following the button prompts on the game interface, he understood how to control his character to move, Leap, pick up items, open his inventory, and view the Map...
Uncle Nine has basically figured out how to use most of the default key prompts in the game.
But he couldn't figure out the simplest thing—how to fire a gun— Uncle Nine spent all his time studying the keyboard, always thinking the mouse was only for starting games.
Fortunately, although I failed the first five times, Luck not to get a single fragment.
On this sixth login, Uncle Nine was much calmer. He had already touched the mouse and keyboard, so there were still three things on the table that Uncle Nine hadn't touched.
Bluetooth headset, camera, and that microphone standing on the table.
I fiddled with the camera and microphone for ages but still couldn't figure it out.
The headset, however, looked just like an earmuff, so Uncle Nine easily figured out how to use it.
This is also the first time I've heard sound effects from a game...
Uncle Nine jumped to an extremely remote spot, almost at the end of the flight path. This was based on his experience; only in this way could he reduce the chances of encountering other players.
However, when Ling Yi saw Uncle Nine Nine's actions in the game, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
It turns out that Uncle Nine has no sense of direction at all. Walking forward is fine, but walking backward is literally inching backward.
It's important to know that, apart from running forward, the speed of other movement actions in the game is significantly reduced.
No wonder Uncle Nine landed in such a remote place; if he had gone to a crowded area, he would have been a human target.
"Haha, Uncle Nine, you can move the mouse, or you can use the up, down, left, and right arrow keys to turn."
Ling Yi has completely lost the idea of killing Uncle Nine and exploding his fragments; he simply can't bear to do it.
Ling Yi could almost picture Uncle Nine logging into the e-sports room and going through the process of becoming familiar with Computer.
Upon suddenly hearing someone speak, Uncle Nine's game character first stopped, then started spinning in circles. This is a familiar state to any veteran player who has gone through the beginner stage.
" Uncle Nine, it's not that I don't want to laugh, I just can't stand it. Slow down, get used to the mouse sensitivity little by little."
In Uncle Nine's gaming room, Uncle Nine was sweating profusely as he controlled the mouse.
"Young friend, young friend, I'm feeling a bit dizzy, vomiting." Uncle Nine shouted, standing up abruptly from his gaming chair, throwing the mouse aside.
The horn on the screen spun wildly, and Uncle Nine was using a first-person perspective...
He didn't know that Ling Yi couldn't hear him at all.
" Uncle Nine, Uncle Nine, why isn't your horn moving?"
"Oh, by the way, if you press T, you can switch to all-audience voice chat and then we can talk."
Uncle Nine gradually recovered and carefully controlled the mouse, moving it little by little, finally managing to have some gaming experience.
But Uncle Nine had no idea what a "T" key was. This made him so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks, completely losing his usual composure.
Then, he saw a line of text appear in the chat area at the bottom left of the screen.
"T key, T key, see it?" Ling Yi's voice rang out simultaneously as the text appeared.
" Uncle Nine, I've typed it on the screen, see? This letter is 'T'!"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Nine quickly located the "T" key...
"Young friend, can you hear me? Can you hear me?"
"Oh my god, we can finally communicate! This feeling of not being able to communicate was absolutely awful."
"Yes, thank you very much for clearing up my doubts, otherwise I'm afraid I would still only have a vague understanding."
"Young friend, could you please tell me what this room is? And what exactly is the ' Launcher ' in my mind...?"
Being able to communicate with people made Uncle Nine even more excited than Ling Yi.
The emergence of e-sports rooms was like Nightmare for Uncle Nine.
The Launcher only provided Uncle Nine with a simple explanation of the rules, and it was the kind of program that forcibly implanted his memories.
There was no mention of how to play the game, and every time Uncle Nine logged into this room, he felt incredibly oppressed and panicked.
Ling Yi patiently explained to Uncle Nine's question.
" Uncle Nine, I don't know the origins of the Launcher and the e-sports room, but one thing is certain: their intentions are probably not friendly."
"My young friend's concerns are extremely valid. This encourages mutual Plunder and incites hatred and hostility among people All Heavens and Myriad Worlds. Such intentions are despicable."
Uncle Nine's words were incisive and hit the nail on the head.
Ling Yi, however, was clearly thinking much more deeply. Was this world really just a place for players from different worlds to kill each other in a game?
Since games can influence reality, then according to the established patterns of novel worlds, the real world will inevitably face a major crisis in the future.
All the rules in the Launcher seem to be... breeding poison!
It uses a game-like approach to eliminate the weak and make the strong stronger, and the outcome of the elimination is predictable.
Take Ling Yi's "parents" for example. They are only in their thirties, but they look like they are in their forties. Even if the drop rate is low, if you participate many times, you will eventually get fragments.
At the very least, each instance deducts at least a year of lifespan; after several such instances, the deductions become terrifyingly severe.
By this time, the safe zone had already shrunk, but Luck, the safe zone was still on Ling Yi and Uncle Nine's side.
Ling Yi knew that this was most likely due to his own Lucky Aura at work.
" Uncle Nine, no matter what, becoming stronger is essential. I estimate that there will be great changes in All Heavens and Myriad Worlds in the future. If you are not strong enough, it may not just be a simple matter of players dying; the world you live in may also be erased!"
"What we need to do now is to use the rules and this game to make ourselves stronger first."
"What you say is quite right, young friend. However, I only have a superficial understanding of this game, and using these items has been extremely difficult."
Ling Yi began to patiently explain the game techniques to Uncle Nine.
How to aim down sights, how to switch perspectives, how to fire, recoil control, weapon attachments, the basic capabilities of various Firearms, and the fastest running speed...
Uncle Nine listened very attentively, and his memory and comprehension were quite good. The two of them, one teaching and the other learning, had a wonderful experience of communicating across worlds.
The two were located in K City. Ling Yi, along with Uncle Nine, continued to explain game techniques while scavenging for supplies.
After all, there were only two of them in K City, which was enough to make them get fed: level 3 backpacks, level 3 armor, level 3 helmets, fully equipped M416s and AKs, and various drinks and medkits...
Uncle Nine has learned something new; he didn't realize there were so many things in the game he didn't know.
At this time, players began to appear one after another in the surrounding area.
Because it's a low-stakes game, there are basically no skilled players.
Ling Yi's expert-level rifle Proficiency had a crushing effect here.
"When playing this game, don't rush. First, observe the surrounding terrain, then find a place that can both conceal you and provide a good view, like this small hill."
A humanoid player with a lizard head, wearing a white cesium shirt and beach shorts, was speeding towards K City on a motorcycle.
This guy is clearly not human, but it's unclear which world he's from.
The lizardman crashed his motorcycle into the wall of a small two-story building, tumbling over and crashing heavily to the ground.
"What a newbie! No wonder it's a low-elo game. I kind of miss those days!"
Ling Yi naturally wouldn't let such a head, delivered right to his doorstep, slip by.
The M416's steady firepower resulted in almost all of its bullets hitting the lizardman in the head, killing him instantly.
A game notification appeared simultaneously.
" Ling Yi, a player from ' Blue Star World,' used an M416 to headshot and kill Suisite, a player from ' Dark World '!"
Ling Yi was surprised to find that this lizardman was actually a player from the Dark World. The Dark World, a game world?
Ling Yi doesn't have time to study this right now because... the fragments have exploded.
As the lizardman died, a pale white, semi-transparent beam of light shot into the Tongtian from his "corpse."
"Is this the fragment? But the special effects..."
This was the first time Ling Yi and Uncle Nine had seen the fragment, but the way it appeared was just too damn malicious.
That Tongtian pillar of light was practically announcing to everyone that fragments had exploded here, urging them to come and grab them.
"I'm afraid this fragment won't be easy to obtain," Uncle Nine said in a deep voice.
"It's not easy to get!"
Sure enough, as the beam of light appeared, the second player, driving a four-wheel drive vehicle, rushed towards the location of the fragments almost like a madman.
Gunfire could be heard all around, and it was getting increasingly frequent.
The player was wearing a set of black, futuristic armor, had short hair, and dark skin.
Putting everything else aside, this person's driving skills are excellent. At such a speed, especially coming from the mountains, he still managed to park the car steadily next to the debris. That's impressive.
but...
"Rat-a-tat-tat!" A series of sounds rang out. Although the man reacted quickly and dodged to the side, it was to no avail.
Ling Yi's gun seemed locked onto the man, and he swiftly killed him.
" Ling Yi, a player from ' Blue Star World,' killed Brixton, a player from ' Speed World,' with an M416!"
Immediately afterwards, another beam of light shot into the sky...
