Online Games: I Met a Mysterious Old Man

"Brave New World" (hereinafter referred to as bnw) is the largest open world MMORPG game in the history of games.

Fully ensure freedom.

A huge world map covering an area of ​​30 million square kilometers.

Up to 2 billion NPCs.

Nearly unlimited content.

It even perfectly reproduces the human sensory system.

bnw is not just a game, but a different world.

Because of this, the game "Brave New World" successfully attracted more than 100 million game account buyers within one year after its release.

Chen Xing also jumped into the world of bnw.

The reason is simple.

money.

Make a living just because you can play games in bnw.

But after he started playing the game to make a living, he discovered that he had an unexpected talent.

He is very good at playing games.

It’s been a year since Chen Xing started Brave New World.

Although he is an ordinary profession, he became the guild leader of the Beemer Guild with about 200 guild members when he was a level 91 elemental mage.

"This is it."

Chen Xing decided to bet his entire life on games.

Chen Xing was born in a poor family. His education is only a high school diploma, so he feels that the only way to live a good life in the future is to play games.

One year later.

He was able to reach level 201 and have his peak form.

But it didn't take long for Chen Xing to discover that people like him were actually very insignificant existences.

Ever since the giant guild, the Creation Guild, invaded the sphere of influence of the Beemer Guild he runs, he has become deeply aware of the limits of his abilities.

He was completely trampled in front of a powerful force.

Moreover, members of the Creation Guild have many things that he does not have.

First, luck.

He can't beat those lucky guys.

Those lucky enough to get excellent items.

Or those who are lucky enough to acquire a rare profession.

He doesn't have many valuables, and as an ordinary profession, he can't beat those equipped with rare items and hidden professions.

Second, talented players.

He simply can't beat those talented players.

Those who are born with a talent for gaming are really scary.

In front of their aggressive mentality and powerful body, he is just a punching bag.

Third, money.

He also lost to rich people.

Wallet warriors make up for their lack of luck and skill with money, and they can't overcome what they call the effort barrier.

In the final analysis, what he considered genius was just a frivolous act of being slightly better than the average person.

But he couldn't accept it.

For him, whose life is not easy in real life, games are everything in his life. This level is really an unbearable shame for him, because he has only one determination to become the best in the gaming industry.

It feels like being denied its very existence.

What makes people feel even more unfair is that the guys who defeated him are actually far more powerful than him.

They are successful doctors.

They are successful businessmen.

They are the sons-in-law of the presidents of large companies.

These people are successful in reality and are also the best in the game.

He puts his all into the game.

He has no other luxury than games.

Who are they? It is not enough to gain real fame and fortune, but they also need to rule them in the game.

Why?

Why?

What am I missing?

"let it go."

He uses his inferiority complex as motivation.

He did anything to become stronger.

He used all his money to buy expensive weapons and invested all his fortune in strengthening them.

"You just have to be a little stronger. A little more."

The thought of defeating those who climbed to the top made him crazily immersed in the game. Even in real life, he did a crazy thing without hesitation and bought his game with a huge debt.

thing.

That's how crazy he is about the game.

Because games are the only way to prove that he has value as a human being.

Because he wants to be the best in the game.

He realized this after trying to cut the bone,

It is impossible to achieve it through hard work alone.

But when he realizes this, he has lost everything.

In the end, he did not defeat those who trampled on him, but was defeated by those who trampled on him.

He really wants to win, but this is very common.

Whether in the game or in real life, it is inevitable that there will be many people who are invincible.

but……

This should be the limit of our efforts.

Shoot!

Deep in the forest, it was raining gloomily.

Chen Xing leaned against the tree and stared blankly ahead.

bite!

A notification popped up in the system.

Warning: You have been in Brave New World for 47 hours. Excessive use of the game may interfere with normal daily life.

【Due to excessive game usage, the connection will be terminated after one hour.】

This is a warning message for excessive use of the game and a warning message that will forcefully terminate the connection.

“There is nowhere to go, where do I want to go?”

Chen Xing has nowhere to go.

He lost everything 24 hours ago,

The Beemer Guild, which had been working hard to operate, collapsed when the stronghold used as a hideout was burned down and the guild members were scattered.

Some people even betrayed Chen Xing and the Beemer Guild.

Moreover, even an expensive item called the Elemental Destroyer, which was the last stronghold, was taken away by the senior officials of the hostile guild.

The remaining items are:

-Jerky×3

-Tear Cloak×1

Treasure map split into two 21

fading wand 1

this……

Even a newbie wouldn't be so miserable.

How to continue?

Is suicide the answer?

It was a ruin.

A musty semi-basement single room and dilapidated virtual machines await the vibrancy of reality.

And there is huge debt.

Instead of winning a gold medal in the gaming world where he risked his life, he went home with a can full of garbage.

Chen Xing was very scared.

He was afraid that he would commit suicide.

The game world is hell.

Reality is also hell.

This is also the reason why he lingered in the game without logging out.

Even then you have to return to reality after an hour.

"Why……"

Chen Xing talked to himself in a voice mixed with self-help.

Why can't I? Why. Why can't I beat these bastards? Why can't I be stronger? Why the hell am I trying so hard. I'm giving everything so why can't I win?"

While talking to himself, the chill in his chest flowed out.

"I gave it my all."

Chen Xing cried bitterly.

"Why should I lose? Why should I be trampled on? It's so unfair. No matter how hard I try, I can't win the power battle. No matter how hard I try, I can't win the PK."

People who are eliminated in reality will also be eliminated from the game.

For Chen Xing, whose life goal is gaming, this is a very painful reality.

"That's because you are too weak."

Then, someone said to Chen Xing

"This world is a world made up of completely weak and strong-willed people. It is natural for the weak to be trampled on. Why do you feel so unfair?"

Chen Xing turned his head in the direction of the sound.

There is an old man there.

white hair.

And white eyebrows.

Long white beard hanging down to the navel

Even vintage silk clothes in black and white.

An old man was walking towards Chen Xing.
