Blackstone Code

At 12 noon, Global Boy launched its first system update two weeks after its official release.

Program is a very interesting thing.

Use by one person or use by a group of people may bring about different results, which is why many programs need to be stress tested before being launched to the society.

The super test that hundreds of millions of people participated in caused some problems one after another for global guys around the world. Crash is the most common, there are also problems such as being unable to connect to the server, and poor signal quality for phone calls and video calls.

Fortunately, these are not big problems, and there are already solutions. You only need to redeploy the connection method after updating and add new load satellites, and everything will be solved.

But these three hours feel like a long time to many people.

The man who had just returned home opened his armband again. "Updating..." on the screen made his mood become more and more unstable.

He thought he would seize this good opportunity and become the first tier in the game, but he was wrong.

And it couldn’t be more wrong!

Only when you really invest in it will you find that when you think you can devote a lot of time and energy, there will be others who will give more than you.

And they not only put in more time and energy, they also spend crazy money in the game.

He can't compete with these people, let alone the first echelon, he can't even keep up with the third echelon.

With the emergence of "powers", the status of ordinary lone wolf players in the game will become increasingly embarrassing.

Some adventure locations will be occupied by the surrounding powerful player organizations. They enjoy the best resources and will naturally develop faster than others.

This leaves many ordinary players to face an embarrassing situation.

Or, join a big force and, after working and living in reality, be exploited and oppressed by capital again in the virtual world.

Otherwise, don't even think about relying on this game to achieve class jump. It is actually impossible from the beginning.

No one is the protagonist. Even if some people are really lucky, the primary artificial intelligence will adjust various factors as soon as possible to ensure that luck will not fall on a certain person.

It is true that some people are very lucky, but these people's good luck cannot be replicated.

It's like the ultimate fucking Lotto jackpot winner, one of those people you see in the newspapers or on TV but almost impossible to be.

Men are faced with a choice: to reduce their investment, time, and energy in games, or to quit their jobs and fully devote themselves to games?

This is a difficult choice. If he quits his job, the income he earns from the game may not be able to support his life.

Relying solely on his wife's income, they could barely make ends meet for the rest of their lives, but...he thought of an income of around two hundred yuan a month.

Even if he continues to work, this income will not change anything.

It is impossible to change his current situation, change the plight of his family, and change the plight of his life!

He decided to resign!

He was going to talk to his wife about this, so he came back early today, but he didn't find his wife.

He sat on the sofa and absentmindedly watched the noon news on TV, his mind filled with everything in the game.

That world was so fascinating that he couldn't hold any more now.

The sound of the door opening brought him back to his senses. He looked back at his wife, looking at his rosy cheeks and slightly messy clothes. He didn't think much about it.

The safety of the shelter is still guaranteed now. As long as family members or people around them don't suddenly transform into monsters, there is basically no big risk.

Moreover, distortion also has a process, which takes several days. These signs can be discovered by people in advance, thereby reducing the probability of sudden distortion.

He felt that his wife might have... gone out for exercise.

Seeing her husband come back early, the woman was a little surprised and panicked. She raised her hand to fix her hair, avoided her husband's eyes, and firmly seized the initiative by asking questions, "You came back much earlier than before. , what happened?"

As she spoke, she walked towards the bathroom. She had to clean up, otherwise her secret would be exposed.

The man's mind was not on this. He was hesitating how to tell his wife this, and did not notice the abnormality of his wife.

"I've been thinking about this for the past few days..."

He heard the bathroom door closing, and then walked outside, "I plan to quit my job and play games full-time."

A perfunctory voice came from inside, and then the door opened, "You said you want to quit your job?"

"Do you know it's hard to find a job nowadays?"

"Why are you so willful?"

Faced with his wife's questioning, he also expressed his thoughts, "There is a guild... you know, the player organization in the game invited me to join, and they are willing to pay me a salary based on my contribution."

"If you are lucky, you can get four to five hundred yuan every month. Do you know how much the best people can get?"

"two thousand!"

His eyes are shining. He doesn't think he is worse than others. His skills and understanding of the game are all top-notch.

Work reduces his time for playing and also makes him less energetic. If he doesn't need to work, he can stabilize his echelon in the game and even hit higher echelons!

The wife looked at her husband's face and was very disappointed, "You told me after you graduated from high school that you would become an excellent salesperson, but you ended up working in a factory."

"You said you would make money to support me and our children, but in the end you used the money we used for fertility funds to buy the things you have."

"You are addicted to this thing. You can't take your attention away from it at any time. Now you have to give up your work for it."

"When will you mature?"

"Is there anything you can do about all these things you promised me?"

"Even before we went to bed for the first time, you said you wanted to fuck me until I couldn't get out of bed, but you couldn't do it. What on earth can you do?"

"Keep dreaming?"

The man was unable to say anything to refute the question. After a while, he muttered, "But I love you."

The woman stared at him, "That's the funniest thing I've ever heard."

She slammed the bathroom door, took off her clothes and turned on the shower. She needed to calm down.

Water can help people calm down and relieve anxiety.

As for cleaning the body, it is already an incidental matter.

She didn't know what to do next.

The man looked at the closed door. For a moment, he was about to give up this stupid idea, but in the end, he convinced himself.

If he keeps the status quo, they save two hundred yuan every month, and they can only save two thousand five hundred yuan a year.

It would take them ten years to raise enough money to have a baby and then start all over again.

These little incomes simply cannot support the life they want. If they don’t change, nothing will change.

They have reached a point in their lives where they have to change and a decision has to be made.

"You will understand me!"

"I'm not kidding this time!"

After he finished speaking, he walked towards the door. This was something he wanted to accomplish like never before.

Connor didn't know that a fool quit his job and joined his territory. Although he was only a lower-middle-class player, he could only get a hundred yuan a month.

But this little player has a big dream, dreaming of moving to the middle level one day.

Living in a house by the sea, facing the sea breeze, basking in the sun, bathing in the infinite beauty of the sunset with my wife and family!

In fact, there are many people like this. For those powerful gamers, their casual spending is a figure that ordinary people cannot imagine.

A strange ecology began to form so cleverly and naturally.

In the afternoon, after the global boy update ended, many people logged into the game immediately.

They found that the game had also been updated with Global Kid, and some content had been added. The power of individuals had been slightly enhanced, and the total war system had been opened.

The already tense relationship between the major forces became even more tense, which also caused these major forces to start frantically recruiting player teams to join them.

After all, war is about consumption and population base, whether it is a war in the real world or a war in the virtual world.

The man who was alone at home decided to let his wife see his hard work and success. He didn't take it to heart that his wife went home in anger.

As long as he succeeds, he believes that his wife will come back.

Even...he may have more choices!

At night, some gunshots in the distance did not affect the man's concentration on the game world.

It is normal for the occasional gunfire to sound. It should be the result of the discovery of a monster and the dispatch of the Evolver Legion. It may also be the mission of the recovery force to destroy some individuals that have failed to evolve. This is normal.

He doesn't care about these things at all now. He only cares about how hard he still needs to work to realize his dream.

On the other side of the city, two monsters that failed to evolve fell in a pool of blood. Scientists from the Evolver Corps were arranging for people to clean the scene and collect specimens.

His expression was serious.

He had a vague feeling that this was not a natural case of evolutionary failure, and there must be some conspiracy behind it.

During this period, there have been many cases where evolutionary failures have been discovered. Logically speaking, this is not surprising.

There are 7.8 billion people in the world, and even if dozens or hundreds of cases occur every day, it is quite normal.

After all, the base is so large.

But the problem is that when these failed samples are collected, fragments of genes that have already been recorded are sometimes found.

This means that there is at least one loser pointing in the same direction during the evolution process.

But this is something that cannot happen, because this kind of mutation is chaotic, unpredictable, and impossible to repeat.

Unless...someone is interfering and trying to create Evolutionaries!
