h my gaming skills aren't bad, I can't compare to those players."This is a gamble," Wu Chen muttered to himself. After all, for him, ten thousand yuan had practically emptied his pockets, leaving only..."Wu Chen, go to finance to settle your wages. You don't need to come to work tomorrow."
In the office, a middle-aged man with thinning hair and a beer belly sat in a large leather chair, facing a young man standing opposite him.
"Why are you firing me" Wu asked angrily.
Actually, deep down he probably knew what situation it was. Wasn't it just yesterday when he worked late and walked halfway home only to realize he hadn't brought his keys Then he went back to the company to get his keys and accidentally saw this boss and the secretary having a good time. It's not a big deal, is it
"As the boss, I can fire whoever I want," the middle-aged man said proudly.
This guy must be afraid I'll tell on him to his wife.
Wu Chen thought to himself, because his wife would often come to the company for inspections, it was easy for her to run into him at work. As long as he got fired, he wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.
Although I wanted to tell him that I wasn't someone who played around, I decided against it later. Thinking about it, this kind of boss wouldn't even hesitate to make things difficult for me even if he stayed.
"You can fire me, but according to the law, the company needs to pay three months' salary as compensation if it unilaterally dismisses an employee," Wu Chen said. Since I'm leaving, I might as well maximize my benefits."
"What are you thinking..." The middle-aged man was about to say something profound, but then he realized that if this got out of hand, it would be very detrimental to him. In the end, he could only swallow his anger and say: "Do I need your money Go get your payment from finance and scram."
Soon, Wu Chen finished his financial settlement and packed up his belongings before leaving the company. Looking at the bustling crowds on the street, he suddenly didn't know where to go. Two years after graduation, he had nothing to show for it. Now, even his job was gone. You have to remember that in a city like Shenzhen, you need money to open your eyes; you wouldn't even dare to add meat to your instant noodles without paying.
"Well, I guess it's time to keep looking for a job," Wu Chen thought to himself.
Just then, a poster flew into his face. Wu Chen took it down and saw that it was an advertisement for the recently popular game "Divinity" all over the world.
Over the past month, The Oracle's advertisements have been everywhere. I heard that the game's main brain isn't a product of existing civilization, but rather a creation of time itself. How the main brain came to be hasn't been released. The game was jointly developed by top global network game giants through the main brain, and it can achieve 100% realism. That means that inside the game, everything is exactly the same as in reality.
"It truly is a game of its time," Wu Chen sighed, "Too bad this game isn't played on computers; you have to buy a gaming helmet to play."
"A helmet sells for ten thousand Man, it would take me two years of work to save that much."
"Hey, that's not right. I just received three months' salary, which is exactly 10,000 yuan. What if..." Wu Chen's heart pounded. This game was completely different from traditional games; it had infinite possibilities. As a veteran gamer, Wu Chen could see this.
Although I'm confident about the game itself, I lack confidence in my own abilities. This game will be facing players from all over the world. At that time, top gamers and wealthy players with plenty of disposable income will definitely choose this game first. Although my gaming skills aren't bad, I can't compare to those players.
"This is a gamble," Wu Chen muttered to himself. After all, for him, ten thousand yuan had practically emptied his pockets, leaving only a few hundred left. In a city like SZ, that wouldn't last him even a few days. Excluding today's wages, he actually only had two hundred yuan left on his card. That means if he didn't make any money in the game, he wouldn't even be able to afford rent by the end of the month.
"I'm willing to bet on it. If things go south, I can always sleep under a bridge. And if that doesn't work, I can just find another class. Besides, I actually enjoy playing games, and now that there's this chance, I definitely can't pass it up."
Actions speak louder than words. Wu Chen, in a lavish display of extravagance, hailed a taxi to the nearest helmet store. Why take a cab when everyone else seemed so broke Because "Revelation" was officially launching at noon and it was already almost 10 am. He couldn't afford to be late! If he decided to play, he definitely wasn't going to be left behind.
Upon arriving at the sales point and seeing the long queue, Wu Chen sighed again about the popularity of this game. The game helmet had been on sale for a month, and it was said that there were countless people lining up to buy it every day. Even now, right before the server opened, there were still so many people.
Wu Chen queued for over an hour to buy a game helmet. He checked the time, it was 11:25, so he hailed another taxi and hurried home. He kept urging the driver to hurry along the way. By the time he got home, it was already 11:50.
I suddenly felt a pang in my stomach. I remembered he hadn't eaten breakfast today and would probably be engrossed in the game for a while, who knows when he'd come out He'll definitely not be able to hold on by then.
At this time, there was no time to cook or go out for a meal. So he searched around the house and finally found a bag of bread under the bed that must have fallen sometime ago. Looking at the packaging that wasn't opened, Wu Chen didn't think too much about it and tore it open to solve his hunger in three or two bites.
After a satisfying burp, Wu Chen slowly put on his gaming headset. It was 11:55.
"Huh, why does my stomach hurt a little"
Wu Chen's consciousness quickly entered the game. Before his eyes was a vast scene: a battlefield. Countless demons covered the sky, attacking the tiny humans below. On the ground, countless demons were chasing fleeing humans. Those who were caught were almost torn to pieces.
And among humans, countless strong warriors stood against the onslaught of demons. There were mages in noble robes standing mid-air, unleashing various elemental attacks upon the demons below. There were archers with bows and arrows frantically firing into the sky at the airborne demons. There were shield guards holding their shields aloft, forming a line of defense against the onslaught. There were warriors wielding axes, cutting through the throngs of demons. And there were assassins, appearing and disappearing, reaping the fallen demons. Behind the ranks, white-clad figures resembling holy angels constantly healed their comrades.
This is the Divine Prophecy's six major professions: Mage, Archer, Shield Warrior, Warrior, Assassin, and Priest.
Although humans put up a valiant fight, they were ultimately overwhelmed by the overwhelming horde of demons. In the end, every single human on the battlefield perished. Countless demons roared across the field, reveling in their victory.
Wu Chen stared in shock at the scene before him. The immersive feeling sent shivers down his spine, it was terrifyingly real, not at all like a game. It felt like something truly happening. Could this be anything more than just the opening cutscene
When Wu Chen was shocked beyond words, the scene shifted. Wu Chen suddenly found himself in a grand hall. At this moment, a system prompt sounded:
Electroencephalogram scan in progress...
"Scanning complete"
Sampling...
Wu Chen suddenly felt a pain in his scalp.
"What the heck, a game helmet that also stabs"
I waited for a while before hearing the system prompt...
"Sample collection complete, DNA binding in progress..."
"Bound"

Wu Chen stared at the space in front of him as if he had seen a ghost. This thing, just scanning it would clear everything up even down to one's household registration, is it this terrifyingt to himself.Just then, a poster flew into his face. Wu Chen took it down and saw that it was an advertisement for the recently popular game "Divinity" all over the world.Over the past month, The Ora...
