Chapter 100 The Beginning of All Things
"I just want to stay at home, not work, and it's so troublesome to work."
This is Li Yeshi's catchphrase.
Li Yeshi, male, 23 years old, graduated from college and was unemployed at home.
To put it bluntly, it's just a neet. (Squatting at home)
I live a daily life of three points and one line of computers, beds and toilets every day, worry-free, work-free and morally free.
"If I had a job that could make money by playing games, I would do it."
This is another catchphrase from Li Yeshi.
But today, he had done his clothes abnormally and even prepared to go out.
"Xiao Yezi, what are you doing?" Even his parents showed strong shock. They didn't know what their son was stimulating, but they suddenly figured it out.
Li Yeshi looked back at his parents, threw a word, and left without looking back.
"I'm going to work."
The two middle-aged men looked at each other and almost fell to the ground in fear.
...
"Well... Mr. Li, right?" The interviewer in a suit and tie looked at the young internet addicted man in front of them and nodded with praise.
"Yes." Li Ye, who hadn't seen such a scene for a long time, was still a little shy.
The main interviewer nodded and asked, "Do you know what you are here to do?"
"Well...be an internal tester for your company's new game?" Li Yeshi replied in a puzzled tone.
"That's right." said the female interviewer next to him, "Do you know why we have to select people to take the internal test?"
Yes, why? This problem suddenly appeared in Li Yeshi's mind.
As a core player of many games, he is very familiar with the routines of in-game testing on the market.
The reason why only players pay for internal testing activation codes is always the reason why there is a game company that spends money to allow players to internal testing?
"It seems you don't know." The interviewer said with a smile.
Li Yeshi could only nod in confusion, after all, he really didn't know.
"It doesn't matter if you don't know, let's talk to you." The female interviewer's tone was gentle, which made Li Yeshi feel like he was bathed in spring breeze.
"First of all, our company's new game is a virtual reality massively multiplayer online game." She said slowly.
Virtual reality…?
Li Yeshi was stunned for a moment.
"Are you kidding?" He blurted out subconsciously.
"No." The interviewer replied quickly, his tone of calmness, not like he was joking.
"Does this... technology really exist?" Li Yeshi couldn't believe his ears.
The interviewer nodded, "In fact, this technology has matured a year ago, but it is the first time that it is officially used in the public sector."
"So that's it...so that's it..." Li Yeshi seemed to understand something and said thoughtfully.
"Yes, so in order to test the stability of the holographic equipment and the game, we can only look for some senior players to participate in our internal test." The interviewer slowly told the truth.
"Because it is necessary to connect nerves, immersive virtual reality games have life safety risks," the interviewer continued, "and this is also the purpose of our high-in-large investment in finding testers."
After listening to this long list, Li Yeshi understood one thing.
He is not only here to test the game, but also to be a guinea pig.
This is a life-long job.
"You are really honest." Li Yeshi chuckled, "These things are just revealed."
The interviewer still kept smiling, "Yes, after all, we are responsible for the safety of the tester's life, so it is necessary to inform the precautions in advance."
"You can still choose whether to accept our job now." The female interviewer said with a smile.
Choose...
Li Yeshi's mind flashed through the time he was squatting at home, remembering the words he said to his parents when he first left the house, and then shook his head with a wry smile.
"I think I probably have no choice." He shrugged at the professional outfit in front of him.
“Then what you mean is…?”
“I do.”
...
In front of Li Yeshi was a small, almost closed room, and a machine that looked like a bed.
"This will be your workshop in the future, and that is our game cabin - undefined. You can lie down and try it out now. If there is no discomfort, your work will be ready to start." A staff member instructed beside him.
"Um... this thing looks like a bed." Li Yeshi said, and then lay down.
Unexpected comfort.
"You guys can be used as beds!" Li Yeshi felt the pleasure of sunken body and praised him.
The staff laughed, "This was originally our design philosophy. When you are too tired of the game, you just need to go offline and you can enjoy the softness of the bed, and it can indeed be sleeping as a bed."
"Well, it's so convenient! I like it very much!" Li Yeshi seemed to appreciate this setting quite well, and he also said a few strange oral habits about the characters in the game.
Well, after all, for a family like him, the greatest happiness is laziness.
"So, can you start?" the staff asked.
Li Yeshi nodded and lay his body in a large shape, "Come on."
"Okay." The staff pulled down the pull rod beside them, "Then, I'll wait outside the door. If there is any need during the game, I can directly feedback it to our staff in the game. If there is any need after waking up, just press the ringing bell next to the game cabin."
The hatch above the game cabin gradually covered Li Yeshi's head.
"Then, I wish you a happy game." The staff closed the door.
As the game cabin was completely closed, the last trace of light in the room also disappeared in front of Li Yeshi's eyes.
The next moment, a faint green light lit up in the cabin.
A mask like a spider web was covered with a face covering Li Yeshi.
As if his soul was out of his body, his consciousness gradually became blurred.
...
When Li Yeshi woke up again, what appeared before him was a transparent white.
He quietly paced in this pure white space, feeling the power of cutting-edge technology.
"This is too real, it's like dreaming." He looked at his hands, deeply shocked by the clear lines on it.
Suddenly he thought of something, and he gently pinched his arm.
"Hiss--" The sudden real pain made him bare his teeth.
"Hello." A voice suddenly rang out from the top of his head.
Li Yeshi looked up and saw a creature that looked a bit weird and was talking to him.
But of course, it is the tall alien, not the e·T type.
"Please choose your birthplace." The alien stared at him with his bright eyes and said in a tone that seemed to be a novice guide.
What kind of ghost game does it mean to use aliens as novice guides? Li Yeshi couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Is this a choice in the place of birth...?" Li Yeshi asked Tian.
The alien replied expressionlessly, "The place of birth is determined by your IP, but you can choose a specific location within this range."
"So that's it..." Li Yeshi looked at the information frame that suddenly appeared in front of him.
There are only three options above.
Village of wild rocks, silver sand cliffs, and windy canyon.
"It feels very remote." Xia Wuli thought, "It's better to choose a village."
He pointed lightly and chose the village of Langyan.
"In the last step, please set an email name and ID for your character. The email name is a must-have when adding friends, and can only be in English or numbers." The aliens continued to guide.
"What, the last step, haven't I chosen a career yet?" Li Yeshi asked in surprise.
"Professions are obtained through missions after entering the game." The alien replied.
"That's it." Li Yeshi nodded, "Okay then."
Email...Email...English...Li Yeshi racked his brains to think.
He is a de-named destiny, which is obvious.
"Forget it, just set it as a net. Anyway, no one will take it in the internal testing period now." Li Yeshi easily pressed OK and set his email name.
"Please set your game ID." Alien prompted.
Li Yeshi smiled, "Then use the Id I used to play games."
He skillfully entered the seven words into the frame and then took a photo to confirm.
Chapter completed!
