December 24, 2029, Christmas Eve, 9 pm.

Relaxing and cheerful music is floating in the cold air, the whole city is brightly lit, vehicles are flowing continuously, and the shops have put up decorations that represent Christmas, with large six-sided snowflakes, red bows, golden bells, and green needles complementing each other.

Suddenly, cheers of joy rang out from the crowd.

"It's snowing, it's snowing!"

"The first snow this year!"

Ye Xiaoyao walked out of the office building. The icy cold wind blew away the warmth given by the air conditioner, making her shiver. The laughter of the crowd came to her ears. She raised her head and looked into the sky in surprise——

The sky that should have been dark was illuminated by human neon lights, glowing with an abnormal blue light. A pale white six-sided snowflake swayed in the wind and swayed into her dark eyes.

A biting chill ran from her pupils into her brain, making her whole body tremble.

She closed her eyes in discomfort, reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, pulled the soft scarf, wrapped most of her face, and hurriedly joined the lively crowd and headed for the subway entrance.

As a drawing dog who "enjoys 996 blessings", she just got off work.

"...Rongxun Company's cross-generation holographic MMORPG online game "Tianheng Story", which took ten years to develop, has started character pre-creation today. The emergence of "Tianheng Story" will leave a mark in the history of games and provide a bright future for the game industry.

Create a new era..."

Ye Xiaoyao turned her head and glanced at the advertisement playing on the outside screen of the mall. She became excited and had an expectant smile on her face.

""Tianheng Story", here I come."

One year ago, Rongxun Company debuted with the world's first self-developed holographic MMORPG "Tianheng Story" and announced the launch of closed beta, which shocked the entire gaming circle and attracted the attention of game enthusiasts around the world.

Senior game practitioners claim that if Rongxun really develops a holographic online game, it will definitely leave its mark in the history of games and usher in a new era of online games.

The closed beta is only a short week, and the open game progress is only up to level 20, but the news about "Tianheng Story" maintains a place in major news media every day, and has dominated the hot searches of trendy blogs for seven days in a row.

Headlines, it was not until a month after the end of the closed beta that the popularity slowly decreased.

People are amazed by this magical world and affectionately call it "Second Heaven".

After squeezing into the subway, Ye Xiaoyao held the hanging ring with one hand and took out her mobile phone with difficulty with the other hand, opened the chat software, found a person named "Anton Bogua" in the friend list, and sent "Cat Cat Crying"

The expression passed.

"Shuangshuang, I just got off work. It's almost 10 o'clock when I get home, and I haven't eaten dinner yet. It's really miserable to be a drawing dog..."

Anton Bogua's response to messages was always so fast. She touched the cat's head and said pitifully: "Poor baby, I have finished building the character."

"What did you build?"

"Haha, that must be a knight!"

"It's really no surprise..." Ye Xiaoyao shook her head helplessly.

Anton Bogua exclaimed: "Hey, who told me that when I bought a helmet, I got a mount in the lottery."

Why is the gap between people so big? Ye Xiaoyao twitched the corner of her mouth.

Anton Bogua's real name is Chi Shuangshuang, and he is one of Ye Xiaoyao's best friends.

But this guy is a hateful purebred European emperor. You can always draw SSRs for free when playing games, or you can get special props, rare mounts, and you will lose your professional equipment if you clear the dungeon.

As the ultimate non-chief, Ye Xiaoyao had a sworn feud with her regarding this matter.

When others randomly draw a lottery, they will get rare mounts. When Ye Xiaoyao draws a lottery, she will definitely say "Thank you for participating."

"What about you? Are you still a human swordsman?" Anton Bogua asked.

"Of course, isn't he a handsome human male swordsman?"

Anton Bogua showed a mysterious smile: "Then I wish you good luck."

"By the way." Ye Xiaoyao continued to ask: "Didn't it be revealed on the forum before that there is a 0.01% chance of encountering hidden racial professions or skill props when creating an account? Ou Huang, have you encountered it?"

Seeing this, Emperor Ou showed a rare expression of bitterness: "I encountered loneliness."

Ye Xiaoyao, who has been a non-chief for thousands of years, instantly regained her mental balance.

"Hey, when I get home, I will show you the real way to activate the European Emperor. I have a hunch that I will do it today!"

Anton Bogua said disdainfully: "African chiefs still want to sneak across, just to live up to your spring and autumn dream."

"Hmph." Ye Xiaoyao said arrogantly: "Just wait, I will smuggle one in for you today."

Back home, Ye Xiaoyao was so moved that she ate the loving meal left by her mother. She couldn't wait to wash up, go back to her room, lie down, put on the gaming helmet she bought for 10,000 yuan, and entered the fantasy world she had been looking forward to for a long time.

“I don’t know what it feels like to wear the 5w deluxe version helmet and the 10w premium version helmet.”

In fact, in addition to helmets, Rongxun Company also has a special game life warehouse, which has a complete set of life safety guarantee systems. It is said that the warehouse can not be offline for 48 hours. The price is also ridiculously expensive, with a price tag of 480,000 yuan, not to mention the need to hire one.

Dedicated personnel clean and maintain it regularly. Ye Xiaoyao, a social animal like the moonlight, only deserves to be greedy.

The vision went dark, and a little white light slowly lit up, intersecting to form the unique golden compass logo of Rongxun Company. Then the golden compass slowly disappeared, and the logos of several major technology companies flashed one by one.

Then melodious music sounded, and a mysterious land appeared in front of us. It was the official game world map - Luoheng Continent.

She stood in the clouds and overlooked this magical land. The mountains were majestic, the land was vast, and rivers and lakes were dotted across the vast land like stardust and jade belts.

Looking far into the distance, the sky is empty and filled with white clouds.

Turning around and looking back, the sea water was sparkling in the sun, golden fish tails flashed across the sea surface, and divine birds with gorgeous feathers flew in the sky.

She could feel the sun shining on her body, warm and gentle, the breeze blowing across her cheeks, bringing a sense of refreshment, and the salty smell of sea water could be smelled in her nose. The air was moist but extremely fresh, which was intoxicating.

This is an area that modern cities with advanced technology and serious environmental pollution cannot touch. It is a precious impression of nature that remains in the distant memory of mankind.

Second heaven is truly worthy of its name!

The stunning vast land disappeared before your eyes, and the character creation screen slowly appeared.

The beautiful creation goddess Zesi stands high in the sky, wearing a white robe with the holy light shining on her. She holds her hands on her chest with a solemn and compassionate expression. Below is a door to space that opens, the light of stars flows inside, and a line of words appears -

—

The door of summoning has been opened. Hero from another world, please choose in what capacity you will come.

Then three icons appeared, the golden crown was the symbol of the human race, the blue gem represented the Shark race, and the red flame was the totem of the Mystic race.

Ye Xiaoyao followed her previous plan and directly chose the symbol of the human race.

As the current rulers of the mainland, the human race has unique advantages. The explosion rate of killing monsters, battlefield merits increase by 5%, and the success rate of production life skills is 10%. For a non-chief like Ye Xiaoyao, she needs this attribute very much.

The cheerful chirping of birds could be heard in her ears, and a village surrounded by mountains and rivers appeared in front of Ye Xiaoyao's eyes.

In the golden wheat field, stood a delicate woman wearing coarse linen clothes, with long black hair tied into a high ponytail, a small oval face as white as jade, a clear smile in her black eyes, and a tall nose.

The pink lips are slightly hooked, and they look exactly like her.

Ye Xiaoyao searched for it, but couldn't find the place where she pinched her face or changed her gender. She suddenly thought of Chi Shuangshuang's mysterious smile and was speechless for a moment.

No wonder this guy wished her good luck, it turns out that this game doesn’t have a face-squeezing system.

It’s so deceptive. What era are we in now? How can we still have such a backward setting?

No wonder no one who participated in the closed beta broke the news. If the news had been revealed in advance, the majority of players would have sprayed it to death...

Ye Xiaoyao's dream of having a handsome human male swordsman character was immediately shattered.

Depressed, he casually lit the flame symbol of the Lost Tribe, and the scene changed again, arriving on a simple platform floating in the sky. The wind was howling, and a beauty with red hair and golden eyes stood alone, with a small feather on her head.

The feathers are fluttering in the wind and making a hunting sound, which gives it an exotic feel.

As the servants of the winged gods, the Mi tribe received gifts from the gods. They are naturally strong and energetic, with a 5% bonus to their physical fitness, a 20% reduction in hunger level, and a 10% collection life skill.

addition.

This appearance is really more eye-catching than the human race, but I don’t know what the Shark race looks like.

While thinking about it, she clicked on the blue gem representing the Shark clan, and the person who appeared on the screen made her eyes light up.

The sea is quiet and distant at night. The waves caress the rocks. The moonlight slowly shines down, reflecting the sparkling waves on the sea. It is so beautiful. A blue-haired and blue-eyed woman from the Shark tribe is leaning on the rocks. Her long, slightly curly hair is flowing with moist hair.

Yuehua has a shark gauze on her body like water, and her golden fish tail slaps on the water, her posture is leisurely and contented.

Ye Xiaoyao was fascinated by this scene.

She remembers that when she was studying, Tao Yuanming's words "Pick chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and see the southern mountains leisurely" fascinated her for a long time. The comfortable posture of the Shark woman in the picture was also her dream.

But this is modern society, and everyone lives a fast-paced life. As an ordinary person, she can only travel for a living.

She looked at herself on the sea in trance, and by some mistake, she touched it lightly with her right hand and pressed the OK button. When she came back to her senses, the dust had settled and could not be changed.

"Okay, okay, let's just be the Sharks. Who told you to look so good-looking?"

Well, occasionally being narcissistic can effectively improve your self-confidence, Ye Xiaoyao thought.
