War Paradise

Opening the door of No. 3501, Lin Chi walked into the living room, took off his brown long coat and threw it on the sofa, and strode towards the corner of the living room.

A large machine with a silver-gray shell is quietly leaning against the wall. It is nearly three meters long. Inside the streamlined shell, a red soft recliner is installed. The recliner comes with restraints to fix the limbs and body. Tool.

Had it not been for the "Pulse Entertainment Company" logo sprayed on the shell, it would have been used as an interrogation device.

However, even if they know that it is just a game console, its internal structure still makes many ordinary people talk about it:

On the upper side of the back of the reclining chair, where the back of the user's head should be in contact, is inlaid with a dark metal ring, and a sharp cold light flashes in the center of the ring.

This is not a holographic game device in the traditional sense, but a brain imaging game warehouse. And the ring on the back of the chair is the "behind-the-head cannula" position used by a stupid chef.

Lin Chi yawned, opened the shell of the game compartment, pressed his right thumb on the small screen in the inner corner of the game compartment, and scanned his own fingerprint.

I saw a few lines of dark green text appearing on the small LCD screen inside the machine:

"Identity detection has been completed. The user uniquely assigned ID: 410-I8DA21SSSR."

"Welcome back, Mr. Lin."

After completing the test, Lin Chi quickly switched the "Sword Blade" currently used in the game warehouse to the "War Paradise" just downloaded.

Even if he always looks lazy, his other name is still famous in the gaming circle. At the beginning of the test of "War Paradise", he took the initiative to send him an invitation letter.

In other words, Lin Chi can enter the game directly without making an appointment.

After relaxing and lying on the soft chair and fixing his body, Lin Chi pressed the button on the armrest and slowly closed his eyes.

Hum!

The roar exploded in his consciousness, and the chaotic color blocks spliced ​​by countless colors instantly occupied all of his sight.

"Begin physical function testing." A mechanical female voice without emotional fluctuations whispered in her ear.

The access of the port did not cause any pain, but it made Lin Chi awake dozens of times, and his five senses became more acute than ever, and he could even hear the sound of blood flowing in his body.

People who have never played brain imaging games will never experience this indescribable wonder.

"Please speak more than three syllables, so that the system can reconfirm your identity." The mechanical female voice reminded.

Hearing this, the young man who had been listless, finally raised the corners of his mouth and showed a smile:

"I'm here," he said.

The images in front of him flowed like a kaleidoscope like a kaleidoscope. Lin Chi's consciousness and various feelings were pulled from the real world to the virtual Realm by the game warehouse of the imaging game in his brain.

He knows that his body in the real world is basically in a "vegetative" state now, and even if he is slashed by others, he will not have any feelings or reactions.

Of course, if it is Death in the real world, the own character will be "permanently disconnected".

With the activation of the sensory isolation system, the constantly changing picture in front of him was frozen into a gray background board, and then appeared a few lines of small characters used to reconfirm the player's identity:

Name: Lin Chi.

Gender: male.

Age: 24 years old.

Occupation: Unemployed.

"Do I have a career now?" Lin Chi complained.

Then, he quickly faced new problems:

——What name should be given to the own role?

Lin Chi is very sure that he suffers from the "difficulty in naming" disease. He is very fortunate that he is not a novelist, otherwise, just naming the characters in the pen will cause heavy brain cell casualties.

"Um……"

After thinking for a moment, he decisively looked away from the input field and adopted the "random naming method" that he had often used before.

With virtual hands under the background board, he tapped randomly on the "keyboard" floating in front of him. The female voice who only listened to the prompt sounded again:

"Are you sure to use this role name? Please note that once you decide, you can't change it."

Hearing this, Lin Chi turned his gaze back and stared at the name he had just typed indiscriminately:

countercurrent.

Seeing that this random name didn't seem ugly, Lin Chi decisively pressed confirmation.

"During the test, the name can be used. Welcome, upstream."

After choosing the name, the next step is the face-squeezing session.

Lin Chi's semi-transparent body suddenly disappeared, and his field of vision became a "God perspective" from top to bottom.

What appeared in his sight was the familiar body that had been used for twenty-four years, except that the clothes were changed to a set of very old-fashioned gray casual clothes, which was completely indistinguishable from how he looked in the real world. .

Lin Chi controlled the non-existent "eyes", turned around the own character, and began to adjust the appearance of the character.

For some reasons everyone knows, in brain imaging games, the gender of the game character must be consistent with the player's actual gender. The "Ladyboy" has officially withdrawn from the stage of history.

In addition to being unable to change the gender, the player can make any changes to the appearance of the own character.

Most players are unwilling to expose their true appearance in the game, and they finally have the opportunity to become handsome and beautiful. Most of them will shape their character images in a good direction.

Of course, there are some weird people or fanciers with unique tastes, who will make the characters look weird.

Regarding his virtual appearance in the game, Lin Chi was not interested in changing too much. He just lengthened his hair a little bit and added a scar on his cheeks to avoid being exactly the same as the real appearance.

Then, he suddenly discovered the problem:

"Why does this person look like kidney deficiency?"

Lin Chi noticed that the own virtual character also inherited the "fine tradition" of the real world.

This character seems to be only in his early twenties, but it doesn't match the sunshine and vigor that young people should have at all, and looks decadent. Although the appearance is not ugly, it looks more like a zombie than a living person.

Realizing this, Lin Chi also tried to make his own character a little more energetic. After all, the more low-key appearance in the game, the better. It's too individual image, and it is easy to attract other players' attention.

However, things are obviously not that simple.

After painstaking adjustments for a while, Lin Chi found to his frustration that no matter how he adjusted the appearance of his character, even if he turned into a two-meter-tall sturdy man, he still looks like a listless ghost...

"Forget it, that's it."

Lin Chi reluctantly restored the character shape to its original state.

Looking at the virtual character who looked almost like himself, but with a few more scars, he decisively stopped adjusting and chose "Confirm" in the dialog box floating next to the character's head.

"The role is created."

The female voice without emotional ups and downs sounded again, and a dialog box titled "War Paradise Closed Beta Announcement" popped up.

Lin Chi quickly browsed the content of the announcement, ignoring a lot of nonsense that is not important to the player, and directly focused on the following key points:

——This game is currently in the testing phase, only part of the map is open, and the first game mode: Death competition. Other maps and game modes will be available in subsequent updates.

In the Death competition mode, one hundred players will join in each round, and teams cannot be formed. Players cannot be resurrected after being killed and are counted as direct defeat.

There are three ways to win in the Death competition mode:

Murderer-Kill at least seven players, and survive all other players Death.

Raiders-Domination points reach more than 1000, and kill the final BOSS in the map.

Ruler-replace the highest leader on the map and ascend to the position of the ruler.

When any player meets the winning conditions, the game will end immediately.

Please note that if at the end of the time limit, there is still no player fulfilling any of the three winning conditions, the game will also end.

After a single game is over, trophies and various rewards will be distributed based on the scores of each player's performance in the game. The winner will receive additional rewards.

"Oh? Just throw a hundred people on a map and have a good time..."

After reading the introduction to the Death competition mode, Lin Chi quickly understood what he should do, and then went directly to the next step:

"Starting to match, you are now in the queue, using random map mode by default. Random maps are being selected."

Accompanied by the emotionless female voice, a series of map names appeared in front of him, and he began to switch quickly:

Royal hunting grounds.

Primitive jungle.

Ruins of Mars.

The wreckage of a nuclear explosion.

Ancient Museum.

State Women’s Penitentiary.

...

Looking at the imaginative map names flashing in his sight, an ominous premonition slowly rose in his heart.

After waiting for about ten seconds, a bright red name finally freezes in front of my eyes:

Welcome to the "City of Chaos"!

"What about the State Women's Penitentiary? Show me this after I take off my pants?"

While complaining, Lin Chi has already started to quickly browse the map profile below:

City of Chaos.

Map size: Medium.

The City of Chaos is an industrialized city located in the Pacific Ocean. It is jointly controlled by multiple consortia and organizations. The cultures of various countries converge here.

The city is technologically advanced, public security is weak, and crime is prevalent. Those who choose to develop here will face unprecedented opportunities and dangers.

Tip: Find the underground bar in the City of Chaos, there may be something you are interested in.

Staring at the irregular island map below the text, Lin Chi didn't say much. It seems that my first battle in "War Paradise" will take place in an open city map similar to "GTA".

——Let’s see if there is any "that kind of AI" in this game.

As the text field disappeared, the scene in front of Lin Chi began to darken rapidly. Then, he heard the system tone again.

This time it was not the cold female voice, but a very exaggerated and infectious male voice:

"Welcome to...War Paradise!"
