[Latest news: The Eclipse Clan spent ten years to create the groundbreaking virtual reality game "Dark Land" and it is officially launched. It is now available for purchase on major game platforms and official websites. The game itself is priced at 128888,...]
……
[Player chat group (online: 10 people)]
Poor enough to eat dirt (Administrator): Brothers, Dark Place sold 100 million copies in ten minutes, what do you think?
Do I have to spend money to play games? : How else can I see it? Of course I saw it on the news. I would like to buy it to experience it, but my wallet won’t allow it.
Leopard Head Zero Charge: I have been waiting for this game for eight years. My heart was broken when I saw the price. This price does not give ordinary players a chance to survive. It is said that the game has also set up various new anti-cracking technologies. Ordinary people like me are afraid that we will never have the chance to play it in this lifetime, unless there is new progress in my plan to hang out with rich women.
Family Sharing Godfather: What’s even more tragic is that this game has blocked the external live broadcast and recording functions. It’s difficult for us to watch game videos while eating. It perfectly prevents ordinary players like me from spying on the rich playing games.
Poor enough to eat dirt (Administrator): Ahhhh, I really want to play this game. I was already looking forward to it after watching the early CG videos of the game, but when the publisher told me the price was 128888, I would have gritted my teeth and bought it if you had ordered it for 28888. The worst that could happen is that I will have to eat dirt for a few months.
……
Just as the players in the chat group were wailing about the price of Dark Land, a message suddenly appeared and caught their attention.
Welfare staff: Actually, if you really want to play, I have a cracked version of "Dark Land" that can be played online normally.
The poor man replied to the welfare worker: Stop bragging, buddy, it’s a cracked version. Now even the genuine version needs to be queued up to buy it. The Eclipse Tribe has only a limited number of places for our Human Federation, how is it possible to release a cracked version on the same day?
Leopard Head Zero Charge replied to the welfare officer: Are you trying to trick us into downloading SpongeBob SquarePants and Teletubbies? By the way, who are you? Why have I never seen you in the group?
Welfare staff: I have sent the cracked version link to the group. If you want to play, just download and log in. The link address is: ******.
I saw that the welfare officer actually sent the download link in the group, but none of the group members clicked to download.
Subconsciously, I thought this might be a scam link and clicking on it would likely result in heavy losses.
Just when the group members were swearing at the welfare worker and were about to kick him out of the group, another member jumped out.
Game brick-moving party: Don't panic, brothers, let me download and test it. The balance of my bank card is only 20, so there is no loss if I am cheated. There is a saying that goes, as long as you are poor enough, you are indestructible. The lethality of being scammed is affected by your own wealth. For someone as poor as me, the lethality is really limited. Everyone wait for my reply.
The family sharing godfather replied to the brick-moving party in the game: Godfather, please go away soon and come back soon, the children are waiting for good news here.
……
Human Federation, Tianfeng City.
South Side, slums.
The walls of the narrow alleys were covered with moss and vines, and the air was filled with an indescribable smell, a mixture of oil smoke, mildew and an unknown smell of garbage.
Most of the houses here are low and dilapidated, mostly built with wood and iron sheets. When it rains, they will make "crackling" sounds, as if protesting against the poor living environment.
As night falls, the old wooden house in the corner lights up dimly.
The view passes through the gap in the wooden house and sees a room that covers an area of less than 30 square meters.
Hiss!
Li Zheng sucked the remaining instant noodles in the bowl into his mouth in one breath, chewed and swallowed them, then he let out a long sigh, reached out and threw the instant noodle box into the trash can next to the seat, took out a tissue from the box, and wiped the oil stains on his mouth.
Glancing at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen, he saw that there was still one hour before the scheduled broadcast time. Li Zheng got up, went to the bathroom, and began to tidy up his clothes.
The man in the mirror was 1.82 meters tall, with fair skin, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and a neat crew cut, and looked quite handsome.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Li Zheng couldn't help but sigh dejectedly.
His current job is a game brick mover. He usually makes money through various popular games, providing resources to paying players in exchange for money, and occasionally does live broadcasts to earn some extra income.
Dark Land has been very popular recently, and a large number of players who spend money on the game have been attracted to that game, causing the income from the several games he is currently playing to decline at a visible rate.
The saddest thing in life is that you are still alive but your money is gone.
I took out my phone from my pocket, and the latest payment message was displayed on it. [Your savings card with the last number 3584, spent 329 to buy D-level nutrient solution, balance: 21, do you want to activate the account protection function? This function will protect the safety of your account funds. ]
Li Zheng thinks it is unnecessary to use a six-digit bank card password to protect two-digit deposits.
When I arrived at the computer desk, the game download progress bar had reached 95%, and it would take another three minutes to experience the game.
Glancing at the chat group that was still enthusiastically discussing "Dark Place", Li Zheng felt that the probability of him being deceived was 99.99%.
"Dark Place" was produced by the Eclipse Clan using the most advanced virtual reality technology. It has a large number of core anti-cracking technologies built in. The possibility of it being cracked on the first day of its release is almost zero.
Even the virtual reality game "Villain of Sin" released by Eclipse Tribe five years ago has not yet had a cracked version.
But he still decided to download it and give it a try, even though he knew the ending would most likely be Calabash Brothers saving his grandfather.
Watch one episode, no harm done.
five minutes later.
After the game download was complete, Li Zheng unzipped the file and transferred it to the game console connected to the computer, and pressed "Game Adaptation".
Before experiencing the game, he decided to ask for leave from the fans in the live broadcast room.
I had originally scheduled a live broadcast with my fans at 8 o'clock tonight, but now I have to go experience the "fake game" and will inevitably miss the time.
With a little apology, he took out his phone, opened the fan group, edited the message and sent it:
"Sorry, something urgent has happened. The live broadcast at 8 o'clock tonight has been cancelled."
Before he put down his phone, a friend in the group responded:
"No one will watch it anyway, so one day is not enough. I suggest you take a few more days off. If that doesn't work, just take an annual leave."
Then came a series of replies from the repeater.
Li Zheng:......
Li Zheng was hit hard by the fans’ replies.
At this moment, the game console next to the computer desk lit up with a green light to indicate that the adaptation was complete.
"Forget it, let's watch Calabash Brothers Save Grandpa to calm down first."
After changing into his gaming clothes, he came to the gaming cabin, pressed the open button, and the translucent cabin cover slowly opened.
Lie on your side in the game cabin, the lid falls down, nutrient solution flows out from the holes around it to wrap your body, and the nerve connection hoses automatically connect to various parts of the body.
The scene in front of me spun around for a while before turning into a virtual interface.
There are 12 games on it, and the one at the bottom is the latest downloaded Dark Land. The game icon is a monster with scarlet flames burning all over its body.
"Sure enough, something is wrong."
He had seen the login icon of the Dark Land on the news. It was a pitch-black sword, which was completely inconsistent with the current monster icon.
"Damn liar!"
While cursing in his heart, Li Zheng still chose to press the game icon to start the game.
"Huluwa, start!"
