Almost instantly, she thought of [ Zhong Lele ] in the [ Disordered World Closed Beta Group ] chat. After carefully reading the content, she sighed that such a person who is obsessed with good looks is rare in the world.
Lin Xi looked at her friend again and nodded:
"Yes, he's the mascot of this game... Lang."
Her friend's eyes lit up, and she grasped Lin Xi's hand excitedly, saying:
"I've decided to join the more authoritative circle of ' World of Disorder '."
All right.
Lin Xi silently retracted her previous statement. It seemed there were quite a few people who were obsessed with good looks in life, and her friend was clearly one of them.
"So, is there any way I can play it?"
Her friend asked expectantly, and Lin Xi gave a reassuring smile:
"There really is."
Before she could finish speaking, she felt her hand being gripped even tighter.
"Great! I'm going to play this game before that Zhongdeng, I'll make him so jealous!"
It took Lin Xi a moment to realize that the " Zhongdeng " her friend was referring to was her brother who refreshed the backend every day.
"Don't worry, I've got your back!"
Amidst her friends' profuse thanks, Lin Xi gently covered her face with her hands:
"It seems that ten minutes of my explanation is less effective than this one screenshot from the game."
Seeing her slight frustration, her friend smiled awkwardly and said:
"Oh dear, why didn't you say sooner that the character design was so good? You know that's just the kind of person I am."
"By the way, what kind of game is this? Can you get this through gacha pulls?"
To prevent the joke from escalating further, Pond Fish and Old Abyss plans to first explain the different types of games to his friends...
"Excuse me, what games have you played since you were a child?"
My friend glanced to the side in silence, and after a long while, whispered:
"Card."
"It's gone?!"
Lin Xi's face was full of disbelief. It was already 2037; even if her friend didn't play games, surely she couldn't have only ever played the solitaire game that came with the computer?
My friend quickly defended himself:
Yes, yes, yes!
Lin Xi slowly exhaled:
"That's good. What else have you played?"
"Minesweeper."
[I have an urgent matter at the research institute tonight, so I won't be going back.]
Okay, take care and get some rest.
After locking his phone, Professor Li looked at the three people in the room.
"Is everything taken care of?"
"That's what the stern-faced man at the head of the group asked."
He nodded, handed the phone to the man in front of him, and then lay down on the single bed in the center of the room.
He then unbuttoned his coat, exposing his chest, and allowed two other men in black to apply the cold electrode pads one by one to his skin.
The air still carried a faint smell of disinfectant. This was a VIP ward in a hospital, which had now been requisitioned by three mysterious individuals.
In addition to the four people, the room also contained a large amount of medical equipment and a full set of the most advanced e-sports helmets and computer hosts.
Professor Li glanced at the electronic clock in the ward—2037.8.11.19:58.
He took off his glasses and placed them on the bedside table, then took the already opened helmet from the middle-aged man.
Your identity has been verified, and your game access has been activated. Please repeat the task.
"Confirm whether the target 'game's' performance matches online rumors, observe the game's ecosystem and technological level, and assess the intelligence level of non-player characters."
"Okay, don't worry. We'll monitor your condition at all times. We've already hacked this helmet. If anything happens to you, I'll immediately cut off the connection and bring you back."
"Good."
Professor Li had thought that at his age he wouldn't experience much emotional fluctuation, but the scene that unfolded after he contacted these people a second time today still shocked him.
Judging from their actions, they were definitely not the only ones who reported issues related to this game to their superiors during this period.
But by sheer coincidence, he happened to obtain a reporting qualification today, which caused the three of them, who were already planning to head to their next destination, to extend their mission time.
His good student Li Yu, still doesn't understand what this game really means... She's really too naive.
After a moment of reflection, the professor put the helmet on his head.
The helmet's thickness and soft internal structure perfectly replaced the original pillow's niche. He gradually relaxed, feeling the softness behind his head, and started the only game installed on the console—" World of Disorder ".
[Please confirm your real name: Li Yinhua ]
[Please enter your game ID: Evergreen Tree ]
"Two familiar spirits have returned from the very beginning. Please guide them to familiarize themselves with this world that has been turned upside down."
In the castle's main hall, the players had long since dispersed, leaving only [ Dawn Ah ] silently guarding the two corpses before him.
He knew that the first time he logged into the game, there would be an extra loading time, which wasn't surprising.
Soon, a semi-transparent notification box appeared above the more well-proportioned body, visible only to the player:
[ Evergreen Tree (logging in)]
Player IDs also appeared on another, more muscular body.
[ Backstabbing Expert (Login)]
[ Dawn Ah ]'s lips twitched, inwardly marveling at how his junior and teacher were both naming geniuses.
To his surprise, the first to wake up was his mentor [ Evergreen Tree ], rather than his junior [ Backstabbing Expert ], who had the advantage in both age and physical strength.
The old professor's soul opened its eyes in the body of another world, and what came into view was the unique architectural style of the ancient castle ceiling and the stone pillars of the steps.
In a daze, he suddenly thought of the churches he had visited when he was young and studying abroad, and quickly found a similar style in his memory.
It appears to be a variant of the Baroque style...
As his brain continuously recorded everything around him, he felt someone helping him up.
Turning my head, I saw a face with somewhat disproportionate features filling half of my field of vision. The person was eagerly holding my arm, and above their head floated semi-transparent green text: [ Dawn Ah ].
Thinking of the student's surname, he tentatively asked:
" Li Yu?"
"It's me, teacher. See, I didn't lie to you."
Although his face had changed, the professor could still see his student's temperament; to put it nicely, it was simplicity; to put it bluntly, it was dullness.
"Yes, that's indeed unexpected. I'll observe it further later."
As he said this, the professor suddenly felt that his legs were much stronger than they actually were. He was slightly surprised; had modern technology really reached such a level?
He shielded himself from his real body, altered his perception of his limbs, and implanted false signals, allowing himself to regain the power he had in his youth.
They actually managed to do it...
