Abnormal paradise

Crunch, crunch, crunch...

Early in the morning, Yi Yan stood in front of the paper shredder, watching the pen practice work he had just completed gradually turn into waste paper.

He spent twenty minutes drawing a portrait of Squidward, and then felt that if this kind of thing spread, it would greatly reduce his worth, so he cruelly threw it into pieces with a bit of reluctance and a bit of joy. paper machine.

"It's hard to get the first place, so it's okay to be lazy, even though the award is far from my main business."

The real situation is that winter has come and the embers of laziness are growing. He is a little tired of getting up early to practice writing. However, he does not go to entertainment and relaxation in the time he saves to practice writing. Instead, he deals with work matters. It is far from the last time he met people. Nearly half a month has passed since the painting appointment, and he has to prepare in advance for the next high-quality painting for sale.

"Eh? You didn't draw today?"

Miaomiao, who was like a kitten, sneaked into the studio quietly as always, only to see that Yi Yan had just finished the call. The drawing board was empty, but there were a few paintbrushes beside it.

"I drew it! Of course I drew it! How could it be possible that I didn't draw it? You came a little late, I had already put it in the warehouse."

In order to maintain his tall image, Yi Yan couldn't tell the truth, and Miao Miao didn't doubt him. She came forward and looked at Yi Yan up and down, as surprised as a kitten looking at a fish.

"What are you doing?"

Yan Yan was a little frightened by the stare, and immediately made a defensive posture. If this girl got angry and hurt someone, he would have no way to deal with it.

Miaomiao crossed her waist, her eyebrows full of confusion: "Are you really an ember?"

"Nonsense! If I'm not an ember, what else could I be? Oh... you're talking about the game ID of Anomaly Park?"

"Yes, the little sisters in my group were discussing like crazy this morning! One said how powerful you are, and the other said how magical you are. I intervened and said that you are beaten by me every day, but they still didn't believe it, alas..."

"Please don't dwell on the past and recognize the reality. If you enter the game now, you will only get beaten by me!" Yu Jin felt that he had to protest.

Miaomiao shrugged her shoulders and said unconcernedly: "I heard that you got a set of pretty good equipment, but if you want to keep it until the official launch of the server, you have to get a good ranking on Killing Island. Haven't you heard of shooting the first bird? ? You are number one in the scoring list, I don’t know how many people are eyeing you."

"Wait, you can actually keep the equipment?"

"In fact, not only the equipment, but also attributes, skills and even character relationships can be retained. The premise is that you are not eliminated early and obtain a certain ranking. However, if you can enter the Killing Island, you have already obtained a reserved permission. This is in my group The planner lady said it.”

"Hey! Is there such a good thing? Don't worry, the prerequisite for shooting the first bird is to have a good gun with enough accuracy. When the closed beta is over, then we have to settle the accounts carefully. If you want me to lead You fly, you have to show something."

Miao Miao rolled her eyes at Ember, and immediately took out today's training plan: "What I mean is, train hard and make progress every day. If your personal skills are not up to standard, it will be useless no matter how good the equipment is. Well, this is today's training schedule. You have to After completing thirty sets..."

…

After a day of special training, Yi Yan did not go to bed to recuperate. Because the last assessment needed to be broadcast live publicly, the time was set at the prime time of nine o'clock in the evening. There was no need to continue to press the early morning timeline to enter the game, which also gave Yi Yan a chance. Go to sleep early.

But before going to bed, he habitually opened the official discussion group and browsed the list of candidates for Killing Island.

In the final arrangement of the three major organizations, there is almost no difference in strength. There are only a few players who have obtained six seals, and there are more than a dozen players who have obtained five seals. The remaining players were lucky enough to squeeze into the big list with four seals. They were all very happy, because among the three major rankings, there were 150 people who could reach this level. They could stand out because they had the time advantage.

Therefore, Ember saw many Four Seal players in the forum who got the chance to land on the island, shouting that they were lucky, which later aroused the envy and jealousy of many losers.

In addition to these, players are mostly discussing how to trigger hidden clues, the player perspectives worth watching in the live broadcast, and how powerful the mysterious "Ember" is. Not only did he get six seals, but he was also faster than others. so much time.

Many players from the Foundation discussed based on the game process and basically made some guesses. For example, Ember's attack power is enough to kill ordinary mobs instantly, and he can skip the assessment tasks of manufacturers and pharmacists with credit points, and finally completely Can save a lot of time. By deducing from this conclusion, the players estimated that Ember had at least 6,400 credit points, which also meant that Ember at least achieved a very high score of perfect difficulty evaluation in the third assessment.

This conclusion has convinced many players. After all, a perfect evaluation of difficulty difficulty is not something you can just get! And this also made some players who were eliminated due to lack of credit points couldn't help but have a lemon flavor in their speeches. Words such as being rich and willful are everywhere. Some even asserted that Ember wasted a lot of credit points to fight for fame and fortune. He will only become a laughing stock on Killing Island.

His actions will not only become the target of public criticism, but also waste precious opportunities for growth. Once he misses the opportunity to strengthen the game with a 50% discount and reveal the secret library, he will be overtaken by many strong people. Even if he has laid a solid foundation before, he may Ruining a great advantage.

These remarks were laughed off by Yi Yan. Except for the pharmacist's one thousand and two hundred credit points, which was a bit of a pity, all other resources were basically spent. In addition, this discussion also made him realize that the equipment manufacturer's assessment task also required a trip to the material library under normal circumstances. However, due to the abnormal equipment manufacturing coupons, there were temporary changes. Not only did Ember have to spend credits to purchase the basic For tourmaline, you have to personally participate in the transformation process in the end.

Therefore, the time required is similar to the normal process, but it has become more demanding because of the increased credit requirements.

"Fortunately, I got 9,600 credit points in the Life Forbidden Zone. If it really was only 6,400, it probably wouldn't be enough. The extra discount from Sun Defender also helped a lot. In the end, I almost spent all the credit points. That’s it, this reward assessment has not been wasted.”

Yi Yan sighed with emotion, and finally checked his friend's information and found that many people had contacted him, and the one with the most messages was "Growing the Wine."

"I don't accept it!"

"Forget it if I can't surpass you, I didn't even get the first place in the rankings!"

"Ahhhh! I'm so angry!"

"Where are you?"

"Where are you?"

"Where are you?"

"Ember, if you're still alive, just scream."

"You're done! I must kill you in the live broadcast to prove who is the real number one player! I'm not afraid to tell you that I have obtained an abnormal weapon, and my output ability has improved by leaps and bounds. In terms of output and explosion, I say second. , absolutely no one dares to say that he is number one, and actually dares to look down on me, just wait for me!"

Seeing his speech gradually getting more and more crazy as the glass of wine got thicker, Yi Yan casually replied with a "squeak".

The glass of wine was getting thicker: "I bet you are still alive?"

Ember: "Don't worry, I will not only survive, but I will survive on the Killing Island until the end. As someone who also possesses abnormal weapons, I don't think I will be much worse than you in terms of output. Besides, you are much more fragile than me in terms of body. The second place in the scoreboard is equally eye-catching, I hope you have a chance to meet me alive."

The glass of wine is getting thicker: "Abnormal weapons? Did you really take abnormal weapons?"

Ember: "Is this strange? I already have the armor and tokens. I won't need the accessories for the time being. I must build abnormal weapons."

The glass of wine was getting thicker: "It's okay, let me calm down for a while. Why are there such big differences between people?"

Ember: "This is reality, little girl."

The glass of wine gradually became thicker and the sound disappeared. It seemed that he had really calmed down. Then he checked the message from "Fish Scale Arm". This veteran veteran player has not yet completed his invitation to the game media "Ready Player One" and hopes to conduct some additional interviews with Embers. Fish Scale Arm, who was also online, did not ask any questions. He mainly asked Ember about his feelings about the new game Singularity and his opinions on how to explore the game. He also offered membership invitations to several large guilds, but Ember politely declined them all.

After that, Yi Jin continued to browse the discussion group to pass the time, preparing to take a rest as soon as the early morning passed. However, to his surprise, the Singularity official was stuck in time and released a game CG.

"The production was completed so quickly?"

The preview was only released yesterday, and now it is officially released. Yi Yan was a little surprised and immediately clicked on the video.

…

At first, the scene is dark, with only the howling of the wind heard in the background.

Suddenly, a spark bloomed into a flame, bringing a little warm light to this cold darkness.

It was a burning match, lighting up a little girl's face.

The little girl's face was very dark, and the strong wind blew her hair, but it couldn't dispel the confusion in her eyes.

"How to break the puzzle of reincarnation?"

The flames of the match swayed in the wind, unable to give the little girl the answer she wanted. She sighed and dropped the match. The match fell to the ground with her perspective, and the flame spread rapidly as it rose. A half-light and half-dark picture appeared. A blazing solemn altar gave the little girl shivering in the cold wind a hint of hope and warmth on her face.

"Can the end of the world be avoided?"

The flames of the altar rose with the wind, but were immediately extinguished by an invisible hand, leaving only lingering embers, and a few stubborn sparks could be vaguely seen.

The sudden change of scene instantly plunged the scene into darkness, with only a few sparks faintly illuminating the fragile figure of the little girl.

In the darkness, there was a sigh, followed by a helpless question.

"How can the endless fire be passed down from generation to generation?"

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew up, blowing up the embers of the altar. Miraculously, these little sparks that suddenly lit up due to the strong wind were not scattered by the wind, but they took off on the wind and floated across the night sky. , until falling into another vast world.
