Chapter 1573 - 1569: Game, Enter

Two months ago, Ye Zhi's mother received a contact from the hospital. Watching Ye Zhi, who couldn't wait even a moment and dashed out, Ye Qiu lay on the bed, crying tears of joy. Ye Qiu reached out, responding to her with a nostalgic tone. Since that time, a feeling began to sprout in Ye Zhi's heart. She wanted to get closer to him, to talk to him more, to recklessly throw herself into his arms, but none of these were possible.

Just being able to stay by his side and watch him was enough, Ye Zhi told herself, and then she started swinging the bamboo sword again. When her movements halted, she looked at the clock in the room, realizing it was already noon.

"Ah, I can't go on like this. I still have an appointment."

Ye Zhi stopped her vacant swinging, placed the bamboo sword next to a pine tree, and picked up a towel to wipe her sweat. She looked up towards the sky, seeing the blue sky through the cracked clouds.

After returning to the room, Ye Qiu changed into plain clothes, set his phone to stand-by mode, and sat on the bed. He opened the bag he carried with him and took out the game he got from the store owner.

"Fairy Fantasy".

Even though the information he heard was limited, he still obtained sufficient content about it. Fortunately, the game didn't use a level system, which allowed for avoiding the awkwardness of not being able to freely access other scenes to some extent.

Originally, before playing the game, he had to gather lots of related information through magazines or the internet, but Ye Qiu hadn't paid much attention to these for a long time. After opening the game package, he took out the disc inside. He powered the Galaxy connected to the router and inserted disc 1 into the slot. A few seconds later, the main indication light stopped blinking and turned steady.

Ye Qiu sat on the side of the bed, holding the Galaxy in front of his eyes with both hands.

The machine that once shimmered had some of its paint peeling and was somewhat damaged. It was both a shackle that had imprisoned Ye Qiu for two years and a comrade that had continuously fought by his side without malfunction.

——Lend your strength to Ye Qiu once again.

He silently chanted this in his heart and donned the Galaxy on his head, fastening the buckle under the chin, lowering the visor, and closing his eyes.

Anxiety and excitement accelerated his heartbeat, and Ye Qiu tried hard to suppress the speeding heartbeats, saying:

"Starting connection!"

The faint light penetrating through his closed eyelids suddenly vanished. The transmission from the optic nerve was cut off, and darkness enveloped his sight.

Soon, a rainbow-hued light appeared before him. The formless Galaxy gradually shaped into a logo. These initial blurry sightings were confirmations that the machine's nervous system connections were successful. Finally, a line of text appeared below the logo saying visual connection ok.

Next, strange harmonic tones came from afar. The unpleasant sounds gradually turned into beautiful harmonies, and then all these startup sounds disappeared. Another line appeared saying auditory nerve connection ok.

Initial connection steps, next was to enter the connection of the body's sense and gravity sensation, the feeling the bed gave Ye Qiu disappeared. Next, continuous tests of other senses began one by one, and ok signs kept increasing. If the fulldive technology advanced, surely this process would be significantly shortened, but all that could be done now was wait.

Finally, the last ok message appeared, and in the blink of an eye, Ye Qiu fell from this dark environment. The colors below turned rainbow-hued, and through this series of test simulations, Ye Qiu was about to land in Otherworld soon.

——It was still too early to talk about these; in the darkness, an account login interface emerged. The Fairy Fantasy logo gradually appeared above while a message in a soft female voice prompted:

Following this prompting, Ye Qiu began creating his account and character. A cyan-white glowing virtual keyboard appeared before Ye Qiu's chest, first requiring the input of a registration id and password.

Ye Qiu swiftly inputted the string of characters he had been using for many years starting at that time. If it was a downloadable game, it would require choosing a payment method, but as Ye Qiu's was purchased as a trial type, it granted a month of free trial time.

Next was the input of the character nickname. Ye Qiu didn't think twice and entered the name "Ye Qiu".

Ye Qiu used this name so Fang Wushang could recognize it at first glance.

In that world, all the information, especially names, were not openly disclosed.

The frequent battles among people in that world, if the results were published in the real world, might result in a terrifying number of deaths.

If who killed who was publicly disclosed without restriction, it wouldn't be hard to imagine many lawsuits occurring in the real world.

However, in this world, besides Ye Qiu having that memory, temporarily no one else was found to have that memory.

And now, due to the murder incidents caused by VR game locking events, all the blame was pinned on the whereabouts of Long Yijian alone.

To the people of this world, Long Yijian was just an ordinary CEO of a game company.

Although the players' families are still suing the operating company demanding compensation, resulting in the company being dissolved. Basically, the news said the company fostered by Long Yijian ended in its own curtain call, yet it still inevitably led to further continuous litigation situations. This is in line with the national sentiment.

To let the person claiming himself as Fang Wushang's fiancé know these and feel some trepidation, only this resounding name will do, Ye Qiu pressed the switch key, swapping the pinyin to Ye Qiu's alphabet. He naturally chose male for the gender.

Following was synthesizing the character's voice. This was chosen during early selection of race. There were many options for appearance and it could also be generated randomly, which couldn't be undone. What Ye Qiu was quite dissatisfied with was that within the game one had to pay extra fees to remake appearance.

Ultimately, at this moment, whatever appearance didn't really matter, but Ye Qiu still wanted a look similar to his own appearance because it would be easier for Fang Wushang to recognize him when seeing him.

As the player's avatar, or fairy, there were nine races from which to choose. Each race's strengths and weaknesses were explained.

Ye Qiu didn't seriously intend to strategize this game, so any was fine. Because of his preference for the black-toned early equipment, he chose the Shadow Fairy race and clicked the ok button.

All of the early settings completed, amid a "good luck" synthetic voice, Ye Qiu was wrapped again by a light vortex. According to the instructions, he would next go to each race's settlement to start the game seemingly.
