"Have you heard?"

"What?"

"In two months at the latest, this game will be connected to the latest holographic technology, which means that players won't have to operate through a display screen."

"Tsk, I thought it was something big.

When did you hear this news? It's already spread all over the streets. "

"Eh?

No way, my master just saw the official announcement. "

"Let's go, why do we care about this? You still owe me a good drink a while ago!"

This was a corner of Chengdu's Guangdu Town. People came and went every day, and it was very lively.

There were thousands of conversations like the above. Everyone had their own things to do, whether it was sparring, chatting, doing missions, or doing nothing to kill time … In short, everyone was moving according to a fixed trajectory.

Occasionally, there were a few restless troublemakers, but they were quickly suppressed by the guards. Some were lying on the ground, some were sent back to the survival point to fight again in the wild. This seemed to be a very ordinary scene.

As characters that existed in the virtual world, this was their daily life.

However, when did they start to realize that they were not real humans, but data that was being manipulated by others?

No one could say for sure.

The controllers outside of this virtual space naturally did not know that these data had self-consciousness. After they went offline, they could even chat and drink with other data.

However, this leisurely time was about to come to an end.

Su Tingyun, who was standing motionlessly in the square of Guangdu Town, had this thought as he carried out his AFK mission.

Thanks to his master, Su Tingyun had more or less heard some inside stories and knew that soon, this space would no longer exist.

Everyone was talking about the new technology, but who would have thought that this would be based on the premise of eliminating their existence?

Transmitting human brainwaves into the game space, even if the technology was skillful, had to bear a certain amount of risk.

Not to mention, an old game like Sword X had a huge amount of data left behind in history. Suddenly accessing a large amount of foreign data would cause the system to be unstable, and it would be difficult to deal with if something happened to the players.

At this time, a decision-maker proposed deleting part of the old data and reshaping the scene and model to ensure the normal operation of the game space.

It had to be mentioned here that game characters that already had consciousness could not be replaced. According to Su Tingyun's guess, if the game was not remade, there might be more serious problems than system instability.

Just like when holographic technology was first introduced, there were a few unexpected incidents where the brainwaves of players were eroded and turned into vegetative states. At that time, everyone was in a state of panic.

Sword X had always been the leader of the old era's gaming technology. This time, it had abandoned its long-term persistence and chose to use new technology. Other than being forced by the industry, it was also the trend of the times.

This was an even more thorough cleansing than the previous reset version. It was also a new starting point for the game. They had to be cautious, cautious, and cautious. They could not afford to fail.

After deleting the previous model data, the player's own image would be used to replace the current character model. Not only would it ensure the diversity of the character, but it would also reduce the possibility of mental conflict. There were cases of this operation before, and it could be said to be the most reliable way to transform.

Just like that, the fate of the game character was decided.

Perhaps it was because he was about to be eliminated, but Su Tingyun clearly felt that he had a lot less to do.

In the past, he was either in the arena, on the battlefield, or in the wild. Now, he could only take screenshots of various maps. It seemed that his master wanted him to take a good look at the world in his last moments.

At the end of the day, who was the one who wanted to take a look at the world?

Su Tingyun did not have the leisure to do so. He might as well let him experience the taste of "living" more. Soon, he would not have the chance, right?

"Ding —"

The familiar sound of going offline rang, marking the arrival of free activities.

Su Tingyun stretched his muscles and bones. Just as he was about to fly up with Qinggong, he was pressed down by someone. A strong hand was placed on his shoulder. As soon as he turned around, he saw a handsome face with a puzzled expression.

"Susu." The person looked him up and down and teased him. "I think something is wrong with you recently. You have been standing on the street for a week, right?

You were not so free in the past. "

The person was none other than Su Tingyun's good friend, Li Wangqing.

The two of them met in Daoxiang Village and slowly grew up doing quests together. In the current popular language, they were childhood friends. However, their personal encounters were as different as clouds and mud.

Li Wangqing was quite famous. He was once a famous warmonger in the server. Now, he was without a master.

However, he was not famous just because of his warmongering. He was famous as the commander of Noble spirit and also as Villain 007.

Noble spirit's commander and Villain 007 were the same person, or rather, they were controlled by the same person.

This involved the grudges from a few seasons ago.

There were two factions in Sword X: Noble spirit alliance and Villain Valley. Every server's faction was different in strength. In Su Tingyun's server, Noble spirit was the stronger faction.

Li Wangqing's master was also a villain at first. When he was young, he was robbed and beaten. However, the more he was beaten, the braver he became. In the end, when he grew up, his love was snatched away by the enemy of the opposing faction. That was why he became depressed.

He was unwilling to give up. He changed his server several times, changed his name, and secretly entered Noble spirit. He swore that he would turn it upside down. He did not expect that he would really do it. Let's not talk about how many schemes he went through.

As for the result … Not only did he cause internal strife in Noble spirit, but he also caused the largest guild in Noble spirit to be divided into three groups.

He pretended to be disappointed and left Noble spirit to become a villain. Some of his fans and players who could not stand the internal strife also followed him and changed factions. With the help of the villains, the situation slowly turned around. From then on, the villains started to become stronger.

Although they were later found out and some people wanted to kill them, the situation in the faction was already irreversible.

Retreating after achieving success was nothing more than this.

Li Wangqing's master achieved his goal. He removed his internet connection and let go of his grudges.

Now, Li Wangqing was free. When he had nothing to do, he would harass Su Tingyun and play with him in the wild.

As for Su Tingyun himself, he had never experienced such a magnificent love and hate. He did not have a master, nor did he have a disciple. He did not like to socialize and trouble. Although he had many enemies, they were all afraid of the Modao in his hands.

He did not lack anything in terms of material things. The appearance of his equipment was top-notch. He was also one of the richest players in the server. This was all thanks to his generous master.

"I say, what are you thinking about? How can you be in a daze like this?"

Li Wangqing, who had wanted to tease him, realized that his good friend had suddenly started to daydream. He put away his thoughts and started to become serious. "Don't tell me you really have something to do."

"What could happen to me?" Su Tingyun asked.

"Could it be …" Li Wangqing frowned, indicating that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

Su Tingyun hesitated under Li Wangqing's rare serious expression.

Should he tell him about what was about to happen?

But after thinking about it, it seemed that there was no need to hide it. After all, it would not be long before the official platform announced the news of a full level up.

"Could it be that you're secretly in love?

I felt that when you were robbing the tribute a while ago, the way you looked at Little Changge was different. Is there a chance? "

"… F * ck off."
