Chapter 8 The second batch of players
Chapter 8 The Second Group of Players
Human Federation, Yelan City.
Fishing and hunting community, 5 a.m.
The sky was turning pale, accompanied by the sound of horns of a large number of returning fishing boats. The lights outside the window were intertwined, and the fishing port was bustling with activity.
Rubbing his sore eyes, Jiangzhou moved his gaze from the window back to the computer desktop.
The pop-up prompt in the upper right corner shows that the compressed package has been downloaded.
He hates online scammers because he himself has been scammed online.
Originally, the group owner, the "kindergarten principal", kicked the welfare worker out of the group and was about to delete the scam link, but he stopped the principal.
He believes that reporting is the most correct way to deal with it.
Perhaps his actions can save many innocent young people who would have been deceived.
But before reporting, he needs to collect relevant information about the scam link.
The federal cyber police need to deal with a large amount of reporting and complaint information every day. Collecting and organizing evidence before submitting it can reduce the workload of the cyber police and allow fraud cases to be handled more quickly.
Click the shield icon on the computer desktop with the mouse and the computer will enter network protection state.
He then used "Safety Shield" to perform virus detection on the compressed package downloaded from the link address.
To his surprise, there were no viruses in the compressed file.
"Is this a prank?"
As for whether there really was a cracked version of "Dark Land" in the compressed file, he would never believe it.
The scammer's intentions were too obvious.
Not only did he reveal his thoughts after just a few words, the web address behind the link was also very simple. He was not even willing to download a web template. He was completely half-baked.
The Eclipse Clan's powerful network technology cannot be breached by any other technology.
With doubts, he opened the compressed package and began to decompress the contents.
In less than a minute, the compressed package is decompressed.
Since the content requires a virtual game console to be opened, Jiangzhou transferred the file to the game console connected to the computer and pressed the adapter button.
After a while, the game adaptation was completed.
Jiangzhou stood up and entered the game cabin.
After the neural connection hoses automatically connected to various parts of the body, Jiangzhou's vision was gradually shrouded in darkness, and when it became clear again, he was already in front of the virtual desktop.
There are 16 game icons on the desktop, each of which carries a memory of his growing up, but he has given up on most of them.
At the bottom of the desktop is the game downloaded via the link. The icon is a monster with scarlet flames burning all over its body.
Although the game did not detect any viruses, Jiangzhou still turned on the protection function for safety reasons.
The launch of this feature dates back to the era of technological explosion when the Eclipse Clan first came to Earth and brought advanced virtual technology to mankind.
With the emergence of new technologies, a large number of virtual games have emerged, including many horror games.
Someone once used the "Virtual Engine Library Materials" released by the Eclipse Clan to create a horror spoof game, which caused a player to suddenly die of a heart attack after downloading and trying it.
After this incident, all virtual game cabins must be equipped with safety detectors that can determine the player's status through changes in body hormones and heart rate. In the event of an emergency, the built-in safety alarm system will immediately send a call for help to nearby medical stations.
Clicking the game icon, a burning scarlet formation appeared in Jiangzhou's mind.
What followed was a strong feeling of dizziness, as if an invisible vortex was swallowing and pulling at his consciousness.
When the feeling of weightlessness faded away, the scene before him left Jiangzhou dumbfounded.
A sky full of pitch-black cracks, continuous volcanoes spewing flames, terrifying monsters roaming the earth... The smell of scorched earth and sulfur in the air enters the lungs from the nasal cavity with every breath, bringing a slight burning sensation.
The fast-moving aerial bird's-eye view was so realistic that he was instantly immersed in it.
The terrifying doomsday scene also made the heart beat faster.
At this moment, the sight suddenly dived downwards and fell towards a dilapidated village on the surface.
Under the strong feeling of weightlessness, Jiangzhou couldn't help but scream.
Just as his sight was about to fall to the ground, he was suddenly shrouded in darkness.
What appeared before his eyes next was a huge grid-like blue crystal wall, extending endlessly on both sides and reaching straight into the sky above.
Most of the space on the wall is empty, and three hideous monsters are imprisoned in the grid at the bottom.
A reminder sounded in Jiangzhou's mind:
【Welcome challengers to enter the monster world, please start creating your initial character. 】
At this moment, Jiangzhou could no longer hold back.
It felt like he was pinching his nose and preparing to take a bite of disgusting food, but unexpectedly discovered that it was actually the delicacy he had been longing for and dreaming of.
The huge gap caused Jiangzhou's emotions to fluctuate violently, and he couldn't help but exclaim:
"What the hell, what the hell!"...
15 minute later.
[Kindergarten small class passionate chat group (online: 32 people)]
Xiaoban-Black Ball: Actually, I think the arrival of the Eclipse Clan is a good thing for us humans. Their base is built on the moon and does not affect our living environment. It is much better than the Chiyan Clan and other fleeing forces.
Xiaoban-Iron Hammer: Yes, the arrival of the Eclipse Tribe has brought a lot of new technologies to us humans, which has improved our quality of life. They have never bullied us humans and can be considered a very friendly alien force. It’s just that the pricing is really damn damn!
At this time, Jiangzhou, who had been away for a long time, returned.
Xiaoban-Zuinan: Brothers, something terrible is happening!
Xiaoban-Mengwa replied to Xiaoban-Zuinan: I didn’t turn on the safety protection function and got cheated again?
Xiaoban Tiechui - Reply to Xiaoban - Mengwa: Is there a possibility that Zuina downloaded the genuine game (funny.jpg)
Facing the ridicule from the group members, Jiangzhou immediately typed a line of text and pressed Enter:
Xiaoban-Zuinan: I really downloaded the genuine version of "Dark Land", and the game is really 100% virtual reality as advertised, and the experience is super real. You should download it quickly, and we will explore the new world together after you install the game.
Seeing Zuina’s reply, group members responded with funny expressions.
Small class-Marbles: Do you believe what the drunk lady said, or do you believe that I am the reincarnation of Qin Shi Huang (funny.jpg)
Tiechui replied to Danzhu: Of course I believe you are the reincarnation of Qin Shi Huang. I will V you 50 later. It depends on your mood to decide what title you give me (funny.jpg)
Facing the distrust of group members, Jiangzhou typed another line of text:
Xiaoban-Zuinan: I swear on my second brother that there is absolutely no fooling around this time, go download it quickly, we can finally have fun together again.
Seeing Jiangzhou's repeated assurances that the game can really be downloaded to "Dark Land", the mentality of the group members changed slightly.
Small class-cute kids: Oh shit, this can’t be true?
Xiaoban-Iron Hammer: Based on what I know about Zuina, he wouldn’t make such a joke.
Although it was hard to believe, they still chose to believe this old friend and clicked on the link to download the game.
……
Half an hour later.
Various @-messages about group members and various “WTF”s were flooding the group screen.
Because of the link given by the "welfare officer", I was actually able to download the genuine version of "Dark Place".
At this time, the group leader of the children's group, whose childish heart was still sleeping, was awakened by the continuous @ prompt sound.
He reached out from under the pillow to take out his phone, and half asleep he began to look through the group chat.
"Director, wake up quickly, something big has happened!"
"Director, you can still sleep at this time..."
Tong Xin, who was becoming more and more energetic the more he read, suddenly stood up, hurried to the computer, woke up the screen, and clicked on the pinned web link.
The screen jumped to the download page, and he clicked "Download" without hesitation.
At this time, a pop-up prompt appears:
[The game has been downloaded for a limited number of times. The publisher has not enabled new download permissions, so you cannot continue downloading. ]
This pop-up window prompt instantly broke Tong Xin's mentality.
He immediately typed a line of text in the group chat:
Kindergarten principal: Brothers, why is there a limit on the number of downloads for this link? It is no longer available for download.
Xiaoban-Zuinan: I don’t know, but I’ll observe a second of silence for you.
Xiaoban-Black Ball: Hahahaha, if I let you continue sleeping, you will miss out on 128888 free benefits. I can now imagine you gritting your teeth in front of the computer.
Xiaoban-Tiechui: Sleeping will delay our work. We should stay up late at our age. You see, we all get the benefits of staying up late, but you don’t.
Small class-cute kids: Principal, the only one who can save you is the welfare worker, go kowtow and admit your mistake.
Kindergarten principal: You guys really deserve to die... I will go to the welfare officer and kneel down to admit my mistake.
……
Tong Xin, whose mentality was about to collapse, decisively opened the system message list, found the information of the welfare worker who was kicked out of the group, and chose to add him, and a prompt box popped up:
【Do you want to add "welfare officer" as a friend?】
Below the prompt box is the remarks information bar.
After a brief thought, he typed a few hundred words of apology message in the comment box, expressing his mistake to the welfare officer and expressing his sincere regret, hoping that the welfare officer would forgive him and be magnanimous.
Tong Xin feels that when he was in school, he was not as sincere and serious when writing essays as he is now.
After repeatedly revising the wording, he pressed "Send Application" with great anticipation.
The next second, a prompt pops up:
[The welfare officer has enabled the function of blocking strangers from adding friends, and the friend request failed! ]
Seeing the text in the prompt box, Tong Xin couldn't hold back his emotions anymore and punched the table:
"grass!"
The new book will be updated every morning at around 8 o'clock, with two chapters per day
