On the first day of February 2077, the weather was clear.

Bishuiyuan, the 74th high-end community in Nantong Development Zone, is full of spring and green grass, and I want to go far from the scenery outside.

This was the 1970s when the population exploded again. Compared with the capsule room with an average area of ​​5 square meters in the suburbs, it is enough to be called "luxury" and "comfort".

It had just stopped after three days of snow. The temperature was still very low. The green belt at the entrance of the community was covered with silver, and the pedestrians passing by occasionally were also wrapped tightly.

"laugh--"

An unmanned floating car was parked at the entrance of Bishuiyuan. The braking high-pressure steam enveloped the car body in a vast white area and melted the ice.

Mi Lu pulled his suitcase out of the car, pressed it on the touch screen of the car body, paid with his fingerprint and gave him a positive review, the car that accommodated two people gave him a smile and a piece of retro music, and then left.

He heard that it was the 2013 Fei Dong song "Happy", which was also the theme song of the animated film "Despicable Ii" that year.

The reason why I know this old antique from 64 years ago is related to Grandma Li in the sanatorium. As a post-90s generation, she always likes to watch some retro graphic animations. Although the characters are 3D modeling, these have become the past when holographic projection is so developed.

...

After comparing the iris and fingerprints, the electronics robot took over his luggage and took him to his residence.

The residence here was his investment a year ago and the biggest expense in his 20 years of his life. Now it seems that he is quite satisfied. The greening of the community is great, and various security facilities are worthy of the evaluation of "high-end communities". However, there are more couples walking and are released all the way. When he arrived at home, he was almost blind as a single dog.

A year ago, he was swept out by the team on the grounds of "extreme personality and violent tendencies", and forced him to throw it into the "extreme personality correction institute" and used his last savings to buy an ordinary two-bedroom apartment here. If this investment fails, Mi Lu may become the most miserable All-Star professional player in history. Fortunately, God still favors him.

Grandma Li said that in their era, people who could buy a house alone in their twenties could be called the four words "young and promising", and professional star captain players like him made a lot of money in the live broadcast industry... Mi Lu still can't imagine this.

Similarly, when he grew up in an orphanage, he couldn't understand the saying "Buying a house is the prerequisite for marriage", and why adults are forced to get married by their parents, and what kind of ignorant era was it 70 years ago?

...

The head of the household stepped into the door and controlled the room to open the sondo-lfa. The i-type projector was opened. A light curtain embedded in the wall extracted his preference for playing the program from his recent experience.

“Now is the time for old songs to be nostalgic, let us feel the popular elements from half a century ago with beautiful melodies…

“Coffee on the left bank of the Seine River

"I'll have a cup to taste your beauty

“…

Another antique-level music was heard, and Mi Lu had to sigh that data collection was really tricky. Even his preferences in the sanatorium were collected. It was obviously Grandma Li's preference, but he just listened casually...

"Cut to game news." He said.

"......It's less than 23 hours before the launch of "Downward Era", and its producer, Vilford, has not released any official news about the game. But judging from a short CG that I sneaked away before, this game is definitely cross-age and enough to change the entire gaming industry!"

This is a gaming media, looking like it has been collected.

“Change the channel.”

"...I don't think "The Age of Twilight" will have any impact on the game industry. The combination of A and VR is the end of the current technology. If it is a technological innovation, it should also be launched by Blizzard, Yuwendi, or Antarctic Yilai. When did platform companies like Vilford make phenomenal masterpieces? Half-Life 3 of Heaven? Artifact3?"

Another game media looks like it confiscated money or has collected money from its rival company.

"Switch on."

"... With the continuous improvement and self-purification of the game industry, professional players have become mid-to-high-end income groups no less than white-collar workers. So what impact will the advent of the game "Downtown Age" have on the game industry? Let's connect to the xx brick house..."

Well... this time it was like the brick family who paid the money.

Mi Lu changed several more stations, all of which were related to "The Era of Dusk". Even the fashion industry is talking about the small piece of clothing released in the cg that has unique style and charm...

The first time he saw a game that can occupy such a high topic, the last such "epoch-making" masterpiece was the year before his birth, when "Freedom" was released in 2055.

This game, produced by Antarctic Yi, combines cutting-edge technologies of VR and A, is known as the "industry savior" and "game circles and gold stone", which completely changed the view of mainstream media on games in the first fifty years of this century.

Mi Lu has a compulsory course called "History of Art Development", which mentions the ninth art "game", saying that it was previously called spiritual opium, online drugs, etc., and there are places specializing in correcting this "addiction" in China and Shandong. Its revenue is so high that it can become a local pillar industry...

Later, with the advent of the Internet era for the whole nation, people's dependence on the Internet was like water and air. This ignorant statement gradually disappeared, but some backward areas still exist.

Until Freedom appeared, these remarks became a thing of the past.

"Freedom" does not refer to a specific game, it is a concept or a game form. Some people say it is a playground, with rich content that can be said to be full of rivers, roller coasters, skateboards, carousels, Ferris wheels, etc., and anyone of all ages can enjoy it.

The simple "Freedom" has a Bluetooth headset-sized portable device, a wristband or watch, and a pair of holographic glasses. This set of equipment is the ultimate development of the Ar, and can use projections to change the environment around the wearer at any time.

As for the complete set of "Freedom" "competitive" equipment, in addition to the above, it also has two parts: a 5*5 spherical free blanket and a universal handle. It supports the experiencer to run, jump in all directions in place, and raise the weapon in his hand to slash, shoot, and other actions.

Based on this, "Freedom" is perfectly compatible with all game types in the first half of the century. Whether it is rts, fps, moba or mmorpg that gradually fades out of the market, it can be presented more perfectly with it as a carrier.

Moreover, because the gameplay is no longer "staying at home and facing the monitor", professional players in "Freedom" have gradually moved closer to traditional sports players - testing physical strength, reaction, flexibility, etc. A healthy body brings a toned appearance. Professional players have changed their decadent image of unkempt and greasy hair decades ago. This is also the core reason why sports such as football and basketball are not regarded as "lost ambitions".

Insiders look at skills, and outsiders look at mental outlook. To some extent, this is the most important point.

So some people say that "Freedom" is like the e-commerce that emerged from China in the early 21st century. It moistens things silently, and seems to have no tangible content. It is just a form, but in fact it embraces everything and is compatible with material life.

Mi Lu was very lucky. When he came out of the welfare home at the age of fifteen, he was valued by "Mantianxing" a local club in Nantong because of his outstanding physical fitness. He became a professional player and began training in the FPS game "Freedom-Breakout".

He seemed to be born in this industry. His reaction and dynamic vision made him quickly become a new star in the FPS world. Whether it was the individual competition, the team competition or the 100-person survival competition, he had a good result and even led his team to the World Championship finals.

Although he failed in the end, he also won the "Broken Stock" trophy, namely the "Most Resistance Spirit Award". This is used to reward those players who fought against the entire world with their own strength but ultimately failed. It is nicknamed the "teammates not worth the prize" in the industry.

Later, he was sold to a wealthy domestic club at a high price by Mantianxing to "Zhuri" and served as the main player of its FPS branch. It seems to have proved the sentence on the trophy, which translates as "all those who block me will be left behind."

But this is not the case. He did not have any request for a raise. The reason why he was sold was just because the price was undeniable - naturally he was the boss of Tianxing.

Mi Lu always felt grateful to his Bole, which fulfilled his wish. At the same time, he also hoped to fulfill his long-cherished wish in a wealthy family.

However, just when everyone, including Mi Lu, thought that his most glorious era was about to come, the meteor fell and the genius died.

Mi Lu, who had joined the team for less than three months, was hidden and killed on the bench. Later, he was exposed to his extreme personality and sadistic tendencies, and was taken away by people from the Federation of Social Care. After unanimous discussions between major experts and scholars at the hearing, he was sent to the correction hospital, and then moved to the elderly care hospital for unknown reasons.

At the same time, the club crossed out his name and the famous star captain disappeared completely from then on.

Thanks to the care of the clean and greedy years of this year, Mi Lu can still laugh when he thinks of another old man in the sanatorium - a man from 1994, who is said to be a Dortmund fan - an angry word he said.

"Hmph, Zhuri is Bayern Munich in the industry! All the teams that cannot be beaten will be lost! Then we will embarrass the whole country to go to the European war!"

This extremely strong sarcasm of emotion seemed to see the moon, which made Mi Lu suddenly realize: He defeated Zhuri in the domestic first-tier league with Mantianxing, and he happened to squeeze out Zhuri's place in the year of entering the World Championships...

After clarifying the reason, he didn't care about revenge anymore. He understood that with his own ability, it was just a joke. In front of a behemoth in the industry like Zhuri, he was like a weak cub, which had no effect except for a few roars of milk and a few mercys that made people feel pity. If he were the young and energetic one year ago, he might have gritted his teeth and shouted that a gentleman would take revenge for ten years, and then he felt powerless, and was confused for a while in anger and anxiety.

But now... instead of torture yourself in different ways, it is better to live happily and enjoy yourself. This may be the best "revenge".

Of course, if the strength comes and the opportunity comes, he will definitely not let it go.

When you are young, you are full of energy, like a sharp sword that is unsheathed, showing its sharpness, but it is also the easiest to die. Only when the sword is sheathed and temporarily covers its sharpness can you wait for an opportunity to behead with one blow.

For example, now, there seems to be a path that contains infinite possibilities in front of you.

...

When Freedom was released in 2055, the industry predecessors who had "nearly skilled" on a series of controllers such as keyboards and mice in the first fifty years suddenly became niches. Now, the advertising slogans of "Twilight Age" also seem to have this trend - that is, professional players who are good at excellent physical fitness will no longer have an absolute advantage.

Its advertising slogan is written like this:

【The flesh limits your soul, but we can liberate it.】

Short, but powerful.

At first glance, it sounds like a cult's missionary method, but judging from the short two and a half minutes of sneaking, is this tm actually real?

It was actually a real-time demonstration from the first perspective: a man climbed out of the dark cave, and suddenly realized his light, and a plain floated in front of him. Then he ate a meal in the medieval village, and cut the black bread into pieces and cooked it together with the mutton paste, thanking the alien girl who served the rice, and the girl walked away with blushing.

The picture ended abruptly, and the person who ran away said that this was the final picture in the game, which immediately made public opinion explode.

Some people laughed and said that this was Vilford's smoke bomb.

The water flow texture that is not distorted even if it is enlarged by 50 times, the bread crumbs that are revealed in particles, and the material with fine stitches can indeed be rendered with current technology. A blunt knife can be used to smash a pile of debris on the hard black bread as hard as stone. The process of gritting teeth can burn money to burn it...

However, that is only limited to cg animations or cg movies.

But now you tell me this is real-time calculation? Also mmorpg?

No game company on the market has a photon engine that can withstand such exaggerated computing volume. It is difficult to make stand-alone games, let alone online games. This is clearly an extremely realistic animation, or even a live-action short film!

But some people say this is true, and with the release of the first batch of pre-sale game warehouses one after another, many people logged into the game to experience this almost completely immersive world.

They said Vilford really created a "world".

This confirmation instantly ignited the entire industry.

If the situation is true, "Freedom", which took twenty years to occupy 95% of the market, and even invaded the domestic computer field, would become a joke. In the face of "Twilight Age", which can replace shallow sleep, its gaming experience is as weak as traditional keyboard and mouse operations when facing "Freedom".

In the future, "Freedom" may only become people's fitness equipment, just like the entertainment facilities in the community...

This is the survival of the fittest and the survival of the fittest is even more naked than nature. Feelings can last forever, but in the face of the wave of development, the fragile and vulnerable.

This is the opportunity Mi Lu saw.

Whenever the industry faces disintegration and reorganization, the new environment is fair to everyone, just like the turbid sea water is foggy for a fish or the entire fish. Whether it is a food ration or taking the opportunity to strengthen oneself depends on personal strength.

Mi Lu is very convinced that he is a shark, a lone shark.

Even if the opponent is a well-trained fish, his fangs are enough to tear everything apart.
