MTL - War in Heaven-Chapter 1 Lonely pioneer

The sky is getting darker, and the towering building casts a dark shadow on the street.

The soft light from the doorway reflects the big sign of the "Midnight Restaurant".

As usual, today there is only one customer in this restaurant.

A young man with a cold expression, sitting in the position of the door, under the short hair, revealing a pair of godless eyes, staring at the vegetable platter placed on the table in front of the table, the color is obviously too bright.

There was a sweet smell in the room, which was left by the strawberry ice cream dessert. As for the collision of the dishes that came from behind the counter, it was naturally the idiot chef who came out.

- This guy hasn't learned how to cook...

Realizing that the taste of the dish should not be good, he put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked up at the holographic projection screen on the opposite wall.

That screen shows the earth that is turning and the exact time of this time zone:

July 1, 2035, 20:31. Smog, acid rain.

Looking at the weather forecast behind the time, the young man sighed. Even if you are used to heavy pollution, acid rain is not good news.

In this era, most people's three meals are given to housework robots to cook, and a few people keep the habit of selling, and people like him who eat in small restaurants have become completely "rare creatures."

In fact, he also has housekeeping robots in his family. The reason why he chooses to eat in the restaurant downstairs is for other reasons:

——Being a person who lives alone and is alone all the year round, occasionally talking to other people helps to maintain mental health.

Although talking to teammates in the virtual space every day, it is not a concept to chat with the real world.

Thinking of this, he could not help but complain:

"so troublesome."

Twenty-four years since birth, the man named Lin Chi has always been synonymous with the word lazy.

In addition to being a "professional player" who is not very glorious in the older generation, his life seems to have nothing to offer.

A guy like him is basically the opposite textbook that relatives and friends often mention when educating their children. By the way, they will be tagged with “no interest”, “no future”, “mixing and eating, etc.”.

Lin Chi knows that those who are biased against the game can't understand what they have done in the game. He has always been unconcerned with others' opinions, and he is lazy to explain more. He just continues to maintain his original life rhythm and spends his time alone.

"How about today's food..."

The faint female voice, which is as fine as a mosquito, interrupted Lin’s thoughts.

He turned his head and saw a petite, cute little chef with a single ponytail, standing next to him and staring nervously at himself, wearing a white apron outside the gray coat, stained with colorful stains.

Seeing the little face of the girl's white face, with a little expectation in her nervousness, Lin chose to lie decisively:

"Okay."

"Then why don't you eat it?" The girl's voice was a little confused.

"Today, I am not very hungry. I just want to find someone to chat." Lin Chi continued to lie slyly, and his right hand took out his mobile phone to make an appointment for his housekeeping robot and started cooking automatically.

"This way." The girl seemed to be relieved. She pulled a chair and sat down next to Lin Chi. There was a faint blush on her cheek: "I can chat with you, just fine..."

"Yeah." Lin nodded and said carelessly: "Thank you."

Looking at the young girl sitting next to me, what appeared in his mind was the burnt chicken wings, the steak of "outside tender", and the egg soup that was diluted with water and only diluted with water.

- If she doesn't improve the cooking technique, no one will come to the store to eat, but even if it is improved, there will be no new customers...

Thinking of this, Lin Chi could not help but worry about the future of this girl. However, the other party is obviously very optimistic, just smiled and asked: "Is the game playing today?"

"It's ‘playing games’. Thank you.” Lin Chi corrected the girl’s words and nodded: “It’s still the same.”

As a professional player plus a team leader, he spends at least ten hours a day in the game. Of course, it refers to the real world of ten hours.

The time flow rate in intra-brain imaging games is not the same as the real world. Generally speaking, the ratio is ten to one. In the game, ten hours is only equivalent to one hour in the real world.

Now, Lin Chi and his comrades are training in a competitive game called "Sword Blade" to prepare for the upcoming, prize-winning arena competition in this game.

Although the training is mentally exhausting, Lin Chi knows that only by continuing to train and familiarizing with tactics can he defeat those monster-level opponents.

In a sense, he is not too lazy.

- Lin Chi's laziness is mainly manifested in the body, and thinking is more active than ordinary people. For this reason, compared with the guy in the real world who can't afford it, the game is just like two people.

Thinking about the formation strategy in the 5v5 battle, the girl asked again:

"That... hurts?"

Wen Yan said, Lin Chi laughed: "You can easily cause misunderstandings."

"Ah? Ah! I don't mean that!" The girl blushes and panicked and waved: "I mean intubation!"

"Yes, the brain-computer interface is not a post-brain intubation." Lin Chi explained helplessly: "And it doesn't hurt at all, don't worry."

When he spoke, he touched the circular metal interface of his head.

——With the civilian use of the brain-computer interface technology, the first “in-brain imaging game machine” was officially born five years ago, in 2030.

The shape of this device is similar to that of the past holographic game bin, but the configuration inside is different.

When the "in-brain imaging game" starts running, there will be a slender metal probe that plugs into the port on the back of the user's head and provides an unparalleled immersive experience for the player by directly modifying the neural signal.

When this kind of game console came out, it was like detonating a blockbuster in the game world. To this day, many players refuse to use this game device, and still stick to the old-fashioned vr game or the antique-level screen display game.

After all, it is too "irritating" to go to a brain surgery in order to play the game, and then insert a long needle into your head every time you play the game.

But for Lin Chi, this kind of problem is completely irrelevant:

Because he is a "pioneer."

When the brain-computer interface technology was just put on the market, only a handful of fierce people dared to undergo brain surgery, and installed interfaces on their back-brain shells, becoming the first players in the brain imaging game.

These initial players were called "pioneers" by later players.

Today, these pioneers are basically not becoming professional players, they are becoming popular anchors, and all of them are mixed.

Like Lin Chi, who has never seen his face, just a guy who is famous in the game, has rarely seen this year.

However, Lin Chi is actually totally uninterested in those false names. After all, it is very troublesome to maintain popularity, which is totally incompatible with his character.

Moreover, the reason why he chooses to become a professional player is actually another unknown reason -

"That, my cousin is also playing in the brain after the game, he told me the last time I encountered a strange thing." The girl's voice passed over.

"What a strange thing?" Lin Chi asked.

"He has been playing this kind of game for a few years. I suddenly said to me a few days ago that the npc in a recent new game seems to have feelings..." The girl's tone is somewhat uncertain.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chi had some eyes that were so godless. Suddenly, he was slightly enlarged. He quickly asked questions: "How is he determined?"

"I can't remember. He only said that there was a npc crying to him before he died. It doesn't look like ai anyway." The girl added another sentence: "The game seems to be fighting... What is it going to be? ”

"War of war?" Lin Chi said.

"Right, this game seems to be very hot recently. I often see advertising." The girl nodded.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chi silent for a moment, took out the mobile phone scan code and paid for the meal, stood up and turned and left.

"Where are you going?" the girl asked.

"Sorry, the team suddenly wants to train." He smiled back and walked out of the main entrance of the restaurant and walked over to the stairway not far behind.

For the game of "War of War", Lin Chi has also heard about it. This game has only just started testing for a few days. His team is also not planning to enter the game.

But now, it's time to try it out.

Stepping into the high-speed elevator next to the stairwell, Lin late pressed the 35-layer button and looked down at the phone screen, the official email from the game:
