Chapter 1 Redemption Begins
"Audience friends, "Reden" will be officially launched at 12 noon tomorrow. Players who have purchased game equipment are also asked to pay attention to the time. Don't miss the first time."
Listening to the sound coming from the TV, Fang Zheng looked at the game helmet placed on his bedside. It was the game equipment of "Reden" that cost him 5,000 rmb and saved more than half a year.
Fang Zheng, 20 years old, from Donghai City, China.
The "Reden" mentioned on TV is a holographic game with a virtuality of more than 99%. Now in 2330 AD, the virtual game industry has long become an indispensable part of mankind. It not only gives mankind the second spiritual world, but also solves the employment problems of many people and even reduces the crime rate. The best virtuality of the previous holographic virtual games was only about 40%, and they were all developed by large groups alone and belong to the group industry.
However, "Reden" was jointly developed and jointly launched by the World Federation, and with the full support of the nine major banks in the world, it immediately caused an uproar after being promoted. At the same time, several major virtual games that were still running on the market announced that they would be suspended soon. Before "Reden" was officially launched, there was no virtual game on the market.
After graduating from high school, Fang Zheng became a professional gamer. His skills can be said to be very good, but he has more time and can earn at least about 6,000 yuan a month. Sometimes he is lucky and even gets ten thousand yuan.
And the money he earns every month, except for the little he left for himself, was left to the dean.
After all the holographic online games were removed from the shelves, Fang Zheng had to choose a 3D online game on the computer to continue making money. By chance, he downloaded a plug-in online. Although he knew that using plug-in was not good, it only took one month after all, and he went to "Reden" in a month.
No one is perfect, no gold is pure!
In the next month, Fang Zheng earned about 5,000 yuan, not wasting a month.
"Reden" will be launched tomorrow. Fang Zheng uninstalled the 3D game on his computer. When he was about to delete the plug-in, he suddenly had an inspiration.
"I wonder if this program can be downloaded to the game helmet? Hehe...try it, it's Bluetooth connection anyway." Fang Zheng had a sudden idea.
It is probably only Fang Zheng who can come up with such a weird thing.
He picked up the game helmet, turned on the power, and then searched for the device on the computer, which was called "Reden". Fang Zheng dragged the plug-in with his mouse and threw it directly on it.
"Damn! I really put it in, this is OK? Could it be deleted directly for me, right?" Fang Zheng was shocked because he really put the plug-in in, but there was no prompt.
Shaking his head, Fang Zheng smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking too much.
Before the holographic virtual online games were released, the computer version of the game had plug-ins, but since the holographic game was found, people's plug-ins concept has gradually faded because no one can use plug-ins in holographic virtual games.
"Brother Fang, it's time to eat!" Just as Fang Zheng was still stunned, a five or six-year-old girl ran into his room in a pink dress and shouted crisply.
Fang Zheng turned off the computer, held the little girl in his arms, and walked out of the house.
In a dilapidated living room, there were a long wooden table with children on both sides, about twenty, the youngest was only three years old, and the oldest was only fourteen or five years old. Their clothes were simple, and they were holding a pair of chopsticks in their hands, full of laughter and joy.
Fang Zheng walked in with the little girl in his arms, gently placed the little girl among the group of children, and walked towards the back room.
"Zhengzi, I'm here. I'm just taking the rice out. The children are probably hungry." An old man bent over and put the rice porridge in a large pot in several small bowls.
The old man is Dean Sun of the Happy Orphanage, who is hardworking to take care of their helpless children. In Fang Zheng's impression in the past, Dean Sun was still strong, but now the dean's figure is a little old and his body is slightly hunched. Looking at his face, it is full of deep wrinkles. According to Dean Sun's age, it is far from this level, and it is all for taking care of these children.
"Director, I'll do it, just go out and sit." Fang Zheng hurried forward, took the spoon from the dean's hand, and took over his job.
Dean Sun smiled with relief. In this material age, there are too few people like Fang Zheng. Fang Zheng graduated from high school and had a good college entrance examination score, but he insisted on not going to school and resolutely returned to the orphanage to help the dean share the task of taking care of the children.
When all the rice porridge and pickles were served on the table outside, the sound of the children chattering gradually disappeared, and several older children began to serve rice for the younger children around them and gave steamed buns. The children were also not fighting or scrambling, and they were very well-behaved.
Fang Zheng also sat at the table and ate the same food as the children.
"Zhengzi, you'd better go out and find a decent job. You're not too young, so it's time to consider yourself. Just have me here." Dean Sun looked worried, he didn't want Fang Zheng to be like him.
Fang Zheng swallowed the things in his mouth and smiled and said, "Director, don't worry about me. You are tired enough to take care of them. I will consider my business. Let's have a meal."
With his head down, a person, a figure that he was dreaming about appeared in Fang Zheng's heart.
...
The next day, at exactly twelve o'clock noon.
After Fang Zheng arrived at the time, he pressed the switch of the game helmet on time and put it on his head.
System prompt: Scanning DNA...
System prompt: Scanning the iris...
System prompt: Scanning the body...
System prompts: The identity has been successfully bound to the game. The "Reden" game does not allow deletion of accounts and repeats, and it is unique, so please be cautious about the next choice.
After a brief few seconds of blindness, Fang Zheng's eyes lit up. He looked at him and found that he was floating in the air. After observing the surrounding scenery, he was stunned.
The blue sky is pure and flawless, and there is a vibrant view on the earth, with forests and grasslands everywhere, as well as clear rivers and lakes.
Now, in 2330 AD, the blue sky is no longer visible on the earth. The trees planted by people to beautify the environment have also withered and died due to the severe air pollution. The water in the sea has been very seriously polluted, and methods such as distilled water and converters are all useless. Now all fresh water resources on the earth come from Antarctica.
In order to curb excessive mining of glaciers in Antarctica, the World Federation jointly issued freshwater terms.
Therefore, what is most lacking on the earth now is fresh water. Fresh water is like gold. Apart from the fresh water necessary for cooking, those who are not rich in their families are very saving.
Fang Zheng carefully felt the rare purity, so comfortable, and took a deep breath. When he wanted to continue feeling it, the scenery in front of him suddenly began to turn rapidly, just like time was passing rapidly. Whenever time paused, he could feel that the earth's environment had undergone a huge change.
The picture stopped until the earth became what it is now in reality.
Suddenly, a sound like a heavenly sound came from his ear.
"The earth is very old, let us take good care of it, for us and for the earth, let us redeem ourselves together."
Although the sound is beautiful, it shocks everyone's heart. It turns out that the name of "Reden" comes from.
The picture paused here for a long time, probably to give people time to reflect.
Not long after, the picture changed again and was standing in a palace.
"Welcome to Redemption, I am your messenger."
Another sound of nature came from my ears. Looking along with the sound, there was a beautiful woman in pure white costume standing not far beside Fang Zheng. She had a perfect appearance. Her black and shiny hair fell neatly on her shoulders, and her beautiful eyes were extremely bright.
"Hello, dear player, please name your game character, no less than one word, no more than a cross, and no insulting words. This name will accompany you throughout your game and must not be changed. Please consider it carefully."
"Zhengzheng and proud!" This is a name that Fang Zheng had already thought of.
System prompt: Congratulations, your name is available, please confirm it again, you are proud.
"Sure!"
System prompt: Congratulations, the name is successful, please choose your race. "Reden" is divided into human race, beast race, and demon race.
The beautiful woman, NPC, waved her hand, and suddenly three men with the same appearance appeared in front of Fang Zheng.
A burly figure, dark skin, and her clothes were still animal skins, and they were directly passed away by Fang Zheng.
The person in the middle is the same as Fang Zheng, but his clothes are different. He is wearing a white robe, with his hands on his back, standing with his hands behind his back, looking very scholarly. Fang Zheng is still satisfied with this.
The last one is exactly the opposite of the white one. He is wearing a black robe, and even his face looks a bit evil and makes people feel uncomfortable.
"I choose the human race!"
System prompt: Congratulations, the race selection has been completed, please choose a profession. "Reden" is divided into six major professions: warrior, magician, knight, archer, assassin, and priest.
After the beauty finished speaking, she waved her little hand again, and this time, six people who looked similar to him appeared in front of Fang Zheng.
Fang Zheng swept away one by one, and saw a warrior holding a big knife and preparing to charge into battle.
A magician wearing a blue robe and surrounded by various elements.
Riding a horse, the knight representing justice.
An archer with a well-proportioned figure and a very agile at first glance.
A Phantom Assassin wearing a black suit, in the dark, holding a dagger tightly.
A priest wearing white clothes, holding a scepter in his hands, and radiating holy light all over his body.
Several are very common professions, and Fang Zheng is also an old man in online games, so he quickly chose a profession.
"I choose a magician!"
System prompt: Congratulations, your career choice is successful, everyone's initial attributes are the same. You can check it yourself when you enter the game. Next, you just need to cross this gate to enter the world of "Reden". I wish you a happy game.
Chapter completed!
