In 2155, more than a hundred years after the war, the earth was in ruins, and people rebuilt their homes on the ruins. The loss of heavy industry, radiation pollution of arable land, etc. made the human living environment increasingly harsh. The big cities in the past disappeared one after another, replaced by cities rebuilt in the ruins. The resources on which humans rely on became very scarce, and fuel, energy, water, food, clothes and other materials became existences that ordinary humans could not reach.

The entire world was re-planned and divided into four major areas: Huaxia District, Sumer District, Nile District and Aryan District. With the increasingly harsh living environment, mankind jointly signed a truce treaty and established a coalition government on Earth.

With the application of a large number of artificial intelligence, the only light industry, farming and other work have been replaced by artificial intelligence, and people have been laid off and unemployed. In order to solve the social contradictions caused by population expansion and shortage of materials, the global coalition government approved the meta-universe game "Tianxia" launched by "Chinese Meta" under the China Online Group in Huaxia District is about to be launched. People all over the world will be able to participate in this game, and this game reconstructs the second world by distributing materials and replacing resources, so as to change the increasingly intense survival rules of human beings.

...

On August 21, 2155, one month before "The World" was officially launched.

Huaxia District, the southeast coastal area, Sucheng, and S District civilian areas.

The wall on the shade of a staircase was covered with moss. There was another attic above the four-story building that had been disrepair for a long time, which seemed out of place with the surrounding buildings. At this time, the morning sunlight fell on a young man's face from the window of the attic, making him feel the warmth in his dream, rub his eyes, and slowly wake up.

The young man is named Lin Zhao, whose parents both died. He is a young man who has lived in a slum area since childhood.

"call……"

Lin Zhao didn't have the habit of sleeping in. He suddenly jumped and got up from the hard bed with a carp. He looked at the log robot display next to him. He couldn't help but frown. Today is another day to test the performance of the motorcycle, and he would inevitably have to come back with bruises all over his body, but there was no way. This is his job. It would be good if a magnetic levitation motorcycle performance tester could get a meager salary to support himself.

...

In the early morning, Lin Zhao rode a magnetic levitation motorcycle to the street. Just as he looked back, he saw a little girl holding a shabby little bear doll in her arms. She looked at her at most five or six years old, pink and tender, as cute as a rag doll. She sat on the stairs and looked at Lin Zhao from afar.

"Hi, little Orange~~~" Lin Zhao waved the helmet in his hand.

The girl stood up and waved with a smile: "Brother Lin Zhao!"

"Why are you staying outside the door?" Lin Zhao asked.

"that……"

A look of fear appeared on Xiao Juzi's face, she pointed to the security door beside her and said, "The uncle is here, so... my mother doesn't let me be at home..."

"Oh, that's it..."

Lin Zhao frowned, and then heard the man's heavy breathing sound from Xiao Juzi's house and the sound of hitting the wooden furniture. In a few seconds, a man with a scar on his face walked out, pulling his pants zipper while going out, cursing, and behind him was a numb woman, who looked about 30 years old, looked a little pretty, but the expression on his face was full of numbness. Only when he looked at Xiao Juzi, he showed a little warmth.

"Pooh!"

The man looked back and spat, threw a piece of bread as big as a fist, then cursed and took out a ten-yuan universal coin from his jeans pocket and threw it at the woman, angrily saying, "Get the money and take a shower on the street opposite. You are almost foul. Fuck, I'm not lucky today!"

"Thank you...brother..."

The woman held the ten-yuan universal coin tightly, and there was no expression on her face.

The man passed by Lin Zhao, looked at Lin Zhao's worn jacket, and sneered: "Get out, you're not blocking the way!"

Lin Zhao looked cold, suppressing the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "Who are you calling a dog?"

"Lin Zhao!"

Not far away, the woman shook her head and signaled him not to cause trouble.

After seeing Lin Zhao's cold eyes, the man's arrogance suddenly fell down. He didn't say much, but turned around and left. He only started to curse again when he arrived at the entrance of the alley.

...

Lin Zhao glanced at the woman again. A piece of bread and a general currency of ten yuan were enough to let her put down her dignity and serve such a dirty man. This is the current life of a helpless woman in a slum. She has no job, and the subsidies issued by the government are far from enough to maintain the lives of mother and daughter.

"Go away."

Lin Zhao rode on a motorcycle and left at lightning speed. He couldn't control it or control it. This is the world, not to mention that he even lived a poor life.

On the street, there are always advertisements for "Tianxia", a game called "meta-universe" that is known as "meta-universe" of human beings. Once the game is launched, the major groups under the governance of the government will inject funds and integrate them. The game's gold coin system will be deeply tied to major banks around the world. In other words, the gold coins in the game can be directly exchanged for real money. The advertisement of "Tianxia" is very straightforward. In this game, as long as you are strong enough, you can get everything, money, materials, weapons, status, everything!

Lin Zhao looked up for a while, feeling a little expectant.

...

Suddenly, someone in front of him was clamoring at the water intake next to the water tower.

In places like Sucheng, civilians have limited water use. The government has issued water cards to each household. Each water card costs only one bucket of water per day. This bucket of water needs to include drinking water, washing water, cleaning water, etc. To put it bluntly, it is difficult to use. If you want to be more affordable, you can only spend extra money to buy water from the water supply group.

Lin Zhao came to the accelerator and saw Xiao Juzi standing in front of the water intake and crying loudly. A bucket was kicked over and the tap water flowed all over the ground. On the side, her mother stood there with a blank expression. Looking at the water spilled all over the ground, she was stunned.

"Pooh!"

A young man with a nose ring sat on a motorcycle and sneered: "Everyone is pressing on a bitch, have you allowed to pick up water?"

Xiao Juzi's mother looked muddy and tears fell: "I...I got stuck with water..."

“So what about using water card?”

After getting off the car, the young man kicked the bucket into deformity and rolled it out, and said with a smile: "Don't you understand what others say? I asked you, have I allowed you to pick up water?"

Xiao Juzi held her mother's hand, wanting to comfort her but didn't know how to comfort her.

...

Lin Zhao knew this person, a local unemployed young man, who later dyed his hair yellow, and followed a group of gangsters in the S area and turned into a monster in the eyes of people. The Speed ​​Party, known as the Yellow Hair. There are also a few young men riding motorcycles behind him, some even from the wealthy area. As for the purpose of coming here, it is nothing more than bullying others for fun.

"This little girl is pretty good."

Huangmao glanced at Xiao Juzi, and the corners of her mouth were full of sarcasm: "When she grows up, she will probably be a beauty. Tsk, why did she start to cultivate her since she was a child, and she will sell it with you when she grows up?"

"Stop your mouth..."

Xiao Juzi's mother was already crying, as if she was defending her last dignity. She pushed the yellow hair while whimpering: "You can't...you can't...you can't...you can't..."

"Get out!"

Huangmao kicked her away, turned around and picked up a wooden stick from the ground, raised it gently, and sneered: "Since you know you are a cockroach, why bother coming out during the day to disgust people?"

...

Lin Zhao felt cold when he saw it. He had been bullied a lot since he was a child. Now if he intervenes, he will definitely suffer more people. But if he doesn't intervene, Lin Zhao will not be able to live up to his heart. I'm afraid he will look down on him in his life.

So, just as the yellow-haired wooden stick was about to be beaten, the wrist was locked by a strong hand.

Lin Zhao held the wooden stick tightly and said coldly: "You are a cockroach, are you?"

"Who are you?!"

Huang Mao suddenly twisted his arm and acted as a stick to hit Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao took the lead in attacking and kicked the yellow-haired hair away with one kick, hitting the wall heavily, causing the ground to be disrupted in pain.

"grass!"

A gangster wearing a nose ring fell on Lin Zhao's back with an iron stick, making him stagger forward a few steps. As soon as he turned around, he was hit by another stick in his forehead. He suddenly turned dizzy, fainted, and bleeding from his nose.

A group of gangsters panicked and turned around and scattered, and the streets were in chaos.

...

Late at night, in the wealthy area of ​​Sucheng, a top treatment base.

Lin Zhao was lying quietly on the hospital bed, still in a coma, with many traumas all over her body. Just beside her, there was a woman wearing the uniform of a senior military general and two Venus stars on the neckline. She looked about twenty-seven or eight years old, with a very beautiful face, and a pair of slender legs and leather boots, with an indescribable temperament. At this time, her beautiful eyes were staring at Lin Zhao on the hospital bed. This was no one else, but Lin Zhao's cousin, Murong Feiyue, who had been "missing" for many years.

She gritted her silver teeth and asked, "How is the specific situation?"

"I'm still in a severe coma."

On the side, the doctor in a white coat held the report and said, "It's okay to say that skin trauma, fracture and so on. But when something happened, his brain suffered a very violent impact. The trauma was too deep and he was very likely to become a vegetative person."

"how so……"

Murong Feiyue clenched her pink fist and gritted her teeth and said, "I have only been away for a few years. Why did such a big deal happen to my Xiao Zhao? Doctor, is there a way to wake him up? I am willing to use all the means. If necessary, all the top medical information in the Eastern Theater Command can cooperate. The only thing I want is that my Xiao Zhao can survive."

"this……"

The doctor said: "You need to wait until experts from each district read the report and hold a meeting to discuss it before you can get a result."

"I know, the meeting will start immediately."

"yes!"

...

An hour later, in the ward, three well-known doctors reported together. One of the elderly doctors said: "The brain trauma is too deep and you must be stimulated if you want to recover. However, the stimulation of conventional methods is very likely to cause secondary trauma to the brain, causing him to completely lose his memory. So after we talked, we felt that there was a way to try it."

Murong Feiyue turned around, with a beautiful face filled with surprise: "What's the solution?"

"The World."

The doctor said in a deep voice: "You know that Master Feiyue, you also know that this game in the world allows players to enter the game by stimulating brain waves and simulating real scenes. Therefore, if Lin Zhao can enter the game, perhaps the plot in the game will promote his brain to heal himself, and there is even a great possibility that he will wake up after a certain period of time."

"I understand, thank you, I'll leave the next thing to me."

"yes!"

...

After a group of doctors left, Murong Feiyue came to the windowsill alone, looked at the bright moon outside the window, and remained silent. The door of the ward opened again. A young woman in military uniform walked in, with a capable temperament. She came behind Murong Feiyue and gave a military salute in the Huaxia District and said, "It has been found out that the local gangsters who injured Lin Zhao were all caught."

"knew."

Murong Feiyue breathed a sigh of relief: "What should you do with it?"

"yes!"

Ning Yu nodded and frowned and said, "General... are you really not going to hold that meeting? If you go... With your current strength and military achievements, you may be promoted to the youngest general in the war zone..."

"No."
