To start, ask for advice.(2/3)

Chapter 2 I'm dead

The sky is cloudless, and it is the best time for the signal.

The satellite hanging high in space received Doug's login request and took him to another world.

The glasses covering most of their face emitted a red light, scanning the retina. Then, Doug whispered but clearly read out his login password: "You are dead."

The password is correct. The constantly flashing green cursor pushes backwards and prints lines of words:

Account verification was successful!

Welcome to Penglai, Doug!

Login time:

13:45-2043.10.1

This passage gradually faded away, and finally four big words emerged:

Player-Ready!

Doug felt like he fell down from the pure black void and gradually possessed the feeling of physicality. Finally, the things around him became clear.

This is the classroom on the third floor of the school, where he was offline yesterday.

Doug looked around and the scenery around him was almost real, but the real one was not thorough. Everything in Penglai had an almost perfect three-dimensional model. Unless you looked around carefully, it was easy to forget that all of this in front of you was just a data torrent of 0 and 1.

This is just the effect of the primary school host. I heard that if you can buy the latest top-level host, the difference between Penglai and reality will be completely eliminated.

However, Doug does not expect the so-called top-level console. Having the current set of equipment is almost a gift from the goddess of luck.

As a shipbreaker, Doug never saved money and his daily salary was only enough for him to pay for the next day's food.

Even the price of the primary school host is not something he can afford. Fortunately, the creator of Penglai, Harvey, intends to use the virtual world of Penglai to popularize education for children who cannot afford to go to school in reality. Only Doug can get a Penglai host and knock on the door to this wonderful world.

Doug walked to the back of the classroom and pressed his hand on the locker. With the crisp metal clicking sound, the cabinet bounced off. There were not many things inside, only the most basic textbooks. When his hands came into contact with them, they disappeared from the locker and appeared in Doug's character's inventory.

Except for a few books in the inventory, there are very few things left. The system gave the steel long sword, wooden shield, torch, and leather armor.

These are not enchanting equipment, and their attributes are pitifully poor. However, this is the best equipment he can wear. Penglaili things are as expensive as in reality, and sometimes even more so. They cannot be replaced by ship-breaking food stamps. In this dark era, Penglai Point has become one of the most stable basic universal currencies in the world. They are even more reliable than the US dollar, Japanese yen, RMB, British pound, etc.

There is a mirror on the locker that can reflect the appearance of Doug's characters. Compared with the thin person in reality, he is much taller and stronger in the game. However, his aesthetic is quite reliable. He did not make himself look like the orcs of the Life God Cult, which are tall and big, with prominent muscles.

Most of the students in the school look reliable because they have special restrictions, making it impossible to add weird decorations such as demonic horns, angel wings, etc. to their image.

When registering an account, you can name it at will as long as it is not repeated. That is to say, you have not initiated the name you already have. Therefore, some celebrities or rich people will spend a lot of money to buy the name they want.

This kind of person who sells names is called a nickname dealer.

Once upon a time, Doug had a delusion to be one of them. It’s a pity that he entered Penglai too late, and his good name had been raised by a pig.

People rarely use real names online. In the virtual world, unless you tell me honestly, no one knows that you are a dog. The establishment and popularization of Penglai culture are based on this concept. Perhaps except for Doug, few people talk about their real names as character names.

For example, the foreman of light industry, Martha, in the game, is called Catalina. This kind of name is completely unknown.

When he first entered the school address, Doug was asked to leave his real name, character name, email address, etc. This information was stored in the principal's place, and only he could view it.

Of course, role names are not allowed in schools, so as not to say something inexplicable.

For example, "Watermelon Ninja Rantaro, stand up and answer questions!", "Hulalu Talula, please listen attentively!", "The king is here to patrol the mountain, come and read some reading notes!".

Students must use the real name. If there are repetitions, add numbers to the next to distinguish them. Fortunately, Doug's name is quite special and does not need to add numbers to the next to them.

The ringtone rang, and an icon flashed in the corner of the field of view, which was inconspicuous but would not be ignored. It reminded Doug that the first class would begin ten minutes later.

Doug's hands trembled at specific frequencies, controlling his body to return to the seat. As time goes by, the number of people in the classroom gradually increases. First, a green spot of light floats on the seat or in front of the locker. Then several lines outline the outline of the body and gradually become physical. It looks like a ghost that appears out of thin air.

As the number of people increased, the voices of conversation changed from small to large, and were as noisy as a vegetable market. Doug's chin was stuck on his arm and observed the people around him with interest. Such leisurely time could not be seen in the shipyard. Some of them were always just scolding and heavy work.

Just five minutes left in class, Doug heard someone calling him again.

"Hey! Hey! It's Doug, a loyal good friend of human beings." The owner of this voice shouted loudly while tying the strange tone, and knocking the "dongdong" sound on the table with his hands.

His strange sounds and exaggerated actions attracted the attention of the students in the classroom. Although such a drama has been staged for countless times, it is still so attractive.

Doug turned his head and looked at him. He and a few friends stood in the aisle between the table and chairs, talking and laughing, and squatted down and made a move to touch the dog's head.

Several of his friends echoed his movements and burst into laughter. After laughing, he looked at Doug's clothes and asked, "It's so beautiful, so handsome! What's the matter?"

Doug's clothes were automatically given to Penglai, and the system automatically sent several sets of original clothes, black shirts and tea-green semi-old jeans. Speaking of which, they were really better than what he wore in reality.

The guy on his head who was facing Bond forty-seven was wearing expensive and dazzling clothes like his nouveau riche friends. It seemed that he bought it from an offline store.

By the way, I almost forgot to say that in this era, Doug heard that in rich areas, the actual clothing usually had corresponding Penglai redemption codes, and the corresponding clothing could be redeemed in the second world of Penglai.

"Your sister bought it for me." Doug said slowly and slowly, "Next time when you want her to act cute, remember to convey my gratitude."

Several of Bond's 47 friends and classmates in the classroom laughed out loud when they heard Doug's answer. Bond's chubby face turned red in an instant, which showed that he did not turn off the expression sensor, and also showed the advancedness of his Penglai host.

There is an allusion to the reason why students laugh.

When the semester first started, everyone was not familiar with each other. Bond Forty-seven had a good show with his sister at the door of the class.

No matter what, he, who is already a high school student, hugged his sister's thigh and cried bitterly at the door of the class, muttering, "I don't want to go to school! I don't want to go to school..." is not suitable.

At that time, Doug happened to record the video, so the two of them formed a bad relationship.

Doug pointed his fingers lightly, and the familiar cries sounded, and the classmates laughed louder. Bond forty-seven was at a loss. Finally, he opened the panel, completed the dressing change with a "clang", and put on his warrior equipment.

Most of his equipment shines, and each piece of equipment has different magic attributes. If Bond Forty-Seven meets Doug in a worn leather armor, he can kill him countless times.

However, this is the planet Canberra. A planet specially built for education and a planet that prohibits players from fighting. The only weapon is language.

Doug ignored Bond forty-seven, hysterically turned on the option of banning. Then, he looked back at him and spitted wildly.

This feeling is great.

The last five minutes before class passed like this.

Doug sat upright, and the textbook of "Modern World History" was transformed into his hands. The "smart" middle-aged bald male teacher, wearing a mage robe, tells the story of the modern strong ships and cannons and the decline of the world.

After the decline of mankind, Doug wrote this sentence seriously in the footer of the book and thought about what kind of life he would have obtained if he lived in that resource-rich era.

Penglai's physics engine is very powerful.

The sound of wind, the sound of rain, the sound of reading.

The strong wind hangs into the house from the window, blows up the paper on the desk, blows away the teacher's mage hat, and shows his Mediterranean in front of the students.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, lightning struck down, and thunder sounded. Raindrops as big as beans fell down. Their power was so great that they even lifted up the turf and knocked away the soil.

What's wrong with this?

The students in the classroom closed the windows tightly against the wind.

This is absolutely not normal.

In Canberra, this educational planet has always been mild. It is described in eight words, namely gentle breezes and drizzles, sunrises and sunshine. How could there be such a bad weather?

Just as the students did not abide by the discipline, ran to the window, looked at the storm outside, and the teacher planned to activate the permissions and fix them back to their seats. Everyone was stunned, and a video began to play in everyone's vision.

The founder of Penglai, Yu Sheng, appeared in the video.

He did not look like an old man in his sixties or seventies, and was about to die. But he looked like he was twenty years old. He wore bell-bottom pants and toad glasses, jumping among the crowd, humming strange melodies, and singing, "I dress up but have nowhere to go, so I can only carry the dead on my shoulders and walk forward, don't run, don't run..."

After singing this sentence, he suddenly stopped dancing. The music came to an abrupt end. At this moment, all the dancers beside him disappeared, and all the scenery on the street turned into fine sand. A coffin appeared in front of young Harvey. The young man bowed his head, and the coffin was an elderly Harvey. He looked at him as if he was ridiculed and sad.

He raised his head, looked at the camera and said, "Hello everyone, I'm dead."

Chapter 3 Three seal cards

After Yu Sheng said this, his palms pulled outwards, and a long talisman appeared from the golden smoke.

He held the talisman in both hands and read it line by line from bottom to top.

"I, the rest of my life, here I announce that I am mentally normal at this moment and have the ability to be completely responsible for my actions. Here I publish this video and announce that all the wills I have before it is invalid..."

The Yu Sheng read aloud faster and faster, and there were a lot of legal terms that they couldn't understand, which gradually made people unable to listen to.

"It's all useless nonsense!" Yu Sheng threw this heavy book into the air.

"I announced that I will hold a grand game, and the winner will receive $60 billion in fixed assets, as well as 65% of Penglai's shares, and become the lord of Penglai!"

He turned around and appeared at the bank door. He walked in. Countless gold coins fell from the air, fell on the ground and bounced up again. The complex light reflected was dazzling and dazzling, and the jingling collision sound was chaotic and pleasant.

The rest of my youth opened my arms and embraced these tempting wealth in the void, just like an ant embracing the golden dragon.

Then, he turned around again. His figure shrank sharply and turned into the appearance of a seven or eight-year-old child.

Countless gold coins disappeared, replaced by a dilapidated tube building, and the music could still hear the hawking of the vegetable market outside the window. Yu Sheng's Taoist robe disappeared, and his clothes turned into T-shirts. He jumped out of the messy room filled with game consoles and computers.

After running for a while, he stopped, happily patted the machine beneath him, staring at it infatuationally and said, "Don't you know what it is?"

“Adali 2600.”

"It's beautiful, right?" Xiao Yusheng looked at the ancient game console with bright eyes. "It was my first game console. A New Year gift in 1980. It has been sixty-three years since I started to come into contact with the game world. Of course, I took it out not to show its long history, but..."

He paused mysteriously, picked up the handle from the bright red floor, sat on the sofa, and his eyes fell on the black and white TV on the table.

He was silent and began to play a game.

Halfway through the game, Xiao Yusheng seemed to remember that he was recording a video. He smiled shyly and said, "This game is called "Adventure", and the author is Warren Robin Knight. At that time, Atari's game console was not allowed to leave a private mark. So he played a trick."

The character Xiao Yusheng manipulated cut a red dragon with a giant sword, but due to pixels, the thing called the red dragon is more like a deformed slime surrounded by serrated teeth.
