The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 470: Anti-addiction? Please help! (Seeking monthly votes)
Anne Moore is holding a competition to find a husband, and only young people under 30 years old are accepted.

But she is just a character in the game. Even though she is a special NPC and the development team has allocated a large amount of computing power and extremely high intelligence to her, she is still a virtual character.

There is no way to escape the limitations of the game and scan the player database to determine how old the person walking onto the ring is.

She could only judge by appearance.

But in the gaming world, it is difficult to determine a player’s age just by looking at their appearance.

Players can also choose to create characters freely.

If Superman is happy, he can create a black person. Other players can naturally create younger or older characters.

A 40-year-old aunt took out a photo of herself when she was 18 and sculpted a young girl.

A 60-year-old man looks like a handsome young man in his early 20s.

None of them are difficult.

If you are interested and have the energy, it is not a problem to create a hybrid version of yourself.

simply put--

The players in the game, their age and appearance, are all full of unknowns and traps.

Only gender is reliable.

This is also because DreamCraft has added restrictions to the rules and does not allow players to create accounts across genders.

Moreover, Dream Building has repeatedly reminded players:
[Online dating has risks!]
It’s just that many netizens don’t want to listen, and there’s nothing they can do about it.

At this moment, Annie Moore looked at the old man in the ring and really wanted to shoot him.

But the old man with white beard was very calm: "I am 18 years old! I just celebrated my 18th birthday yesterday!"

Anne Moore's chest heaved. She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth to suppress her anger.

The young man looked at the old man with frustration and said, "Boy, you can't even beat an old man, right?"

"Ah?" Pang Yun on the stage was stunned for a moment, and said uncertainly, "This... I'm not sure either."

Before the other party made a move, who knew whether he was an old man who could barely walk properly, or a sinister master who deliberately pretended to be an old man and was trying to pretend to be a pig to eat the tiger?

Anne Moore became even angrier and waved her hands impatiently: "Go ahead and fight, fight quickly."

So the old man and Pang Yun drew their swords and approached cautiously.

After entering close combat range, both men drew their swords at the same time.

After the two swords collided a few times, Pang Yun was sure: the person opposite was really an old man!
No strength at all.

After confirming the result, he immediately changed to holding the sword with both hands and chopped it down with all his strength!
Given the physical condition of the old man opposite him, he couldn't dodge or block the sword.

As long as you "knock" your opponent down, all that's left is to finish him off.

Maybe he doesn't even need to finish off the opponent. He just may not be able to handle the fall on the hard ground.

The result happened the moment he relaxed.

The white-bearded old man who had been walking slowly on the opposite side suddenly dodged the sword with a nimble move!
While Pang Yun was running out of strength, he stabbed him with a sword!

At this moment, Pang Yun realized that the other party was pretending!
Those light attacks and slow movements before were all meant to mislead him!
If it had happened a week ago, he would have been utterly stabbed.

But now, he is no longer the same as before!
Pang Yun immediately lunged forward following the force and lowered his body.

Let this fatal sword pass by your back.

The sword blade cut through the leather armor, leaving a long bloody mark on the back.

Pang Yun gasped in pain, but still gritted his teeth and slashed horizontally, trying to hit his opponent's thigh!

But when the sword was only halfway cut, he suddenly became stiff!
He fell face down on the ground of the ring!
While he was swinging his sword, he was also doing a forward roll.

But now, this movement suddenly froze.

This caused him to fall on the ring in a very twisted posture.

His right arm was still halfway through swinging the sword, and he raised his left hand to support himself on the ground but failed. His two half-bent legs, face and left shoulder became the four main fulcrums, supporting his buttocks raised high.

Then, it just stood still.

His opponent was startled by the horizontal slash and jumped back quickly.

As a result, just after jumping, he saw Pang Yun turned into this twisted and weird appearance. He was also frightened and subconsciously kept a distance from him and did not rush up to finish him off.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Five seconds passed and Pang Yun still stood there in the same posture.

It didn't look like an accidental fall, but rather like time had stopped, or maybe -

The network is stuck.

But that's impossible!
——There is no stuck person in the whole world, only him?
If it was someone else, then maybe it would be possible.

But this is Pang Yun!
Xu Meng is the first beneficiary of brain-computer interface technology, and is the person who will be given the first perspective and promoted in major events by Zhumeng.

Everyone knows that he is probably playing games through a brain-computer interface, using "consciousness login".

Why do I encounter network lag?

In this case, I suddenly got stuck...

Could something be wrong?

The players who were crowded around the arena watching the fun suddenly fell silent, realizing the seriousness of the problem.

This silence seemed to be contagious, spreading out piece by piece.

Soon, the scene of the martial arts competition for the bride, which was originally bustling with activity, became dead silent!
On the ring, the old man with white beard noticed the unusual silence and took three steps back.

He said anxiously to the motionless Pang Yun:

"You're not trying to scam me, are you?!"

"I didn't touch you! No, I cut you, but I cut your shoulder! I didn't hurt your brain!"

"Are you...are you...are you okay?"

Pang Yun has something to do.

And the problem is not small.

He was still conscious, but he couldn't control his body. It was like he was possessed by a ghost. Even though he had used all his strength and veins on his forehead bulged, he couldn't even control a finger!

Ten seconds later, the problem became more serious——

His body, which was frozen on the ring, suddenly began to flicker irregularly in full view of everyone!
From time to time, some broken strings of code emerged from him and quickly dissipated into the air.

Critical moment——

A pink stream of light suddenly appeared and circled around Pang Yun's body for several times.

Finally, it transformed into Xiao Meng's body and appeared beside him.

After Xiao Meng's operation that no one could understand, the code that appeared on Pang Yun's body no longer broke, but was pulled back by the pink silk thread as soon as it appeared.

The next moment, Xu Meng, still wearing a casual T-shirt and cropped pants, also appeared on the ring.

This kind of attire, appearing in Havana at the end of the 17th century, was somewhat out of place.

But now, no one cares about such trivial matters.

When Xu Meng and Xiao Meng appeared, suppressed low cries immediately sounded in the crowd.

——Their sudden appearance means that the problem is likely to be more serious than everyone guessed!

A small window appeared in front of Xu Meng.

After taking a look at the real Pang Yun, he said to Xiao Meng, "Help him get offline first."

"Yeah!" Xiao Meng nodded.

A large amount of pink code fell from the sky like a waterfall, drowning the stiff and motionless huge cloud.

When the code dissipated, Pang Yun had disappeared from the stage.

But the impact of this incident will not disappear with Pang Yun's disappearance.

Instead, it swept across the global Internet like a hurricane!

The gaming circle, technology circle, business circle, scientific research circle... have all paid attention to it.

This is the first time that there is a problem with the technology Xu Meng used!
——Jacob’s accidental fracture while using the Illusion Game Kit doesn’t count, the US government has already proven that he hit it himself.

In addition, since it is the most sensitive field of "brain-computer interface" and "consciousness transfer", the attention it receives is undoubtedly off the charts!
"What's going on? What happened to Pang Yun?"

"I don't know, but Xu Meng's personal appearance is definitely a big deal!"

"Pang Yun won't become cerebral palsy, right? His consciousness was almost shattered just now!"

"Cerebral palsy? He might just become a vegetable!"

"No way. If Xu Meng and Xiao Meng attack together, it shouldn't be that serious."

"Fuck, are brain-computer interfaces so dangerous?"

"This is the most cutting-edge technology. Do you think I'm kidding you?"

……

There was a lot of discussion at the scene.

Social networks were also in an uproar.

Xu Meng obviously understood the impact of this incident, and did not disappear with Pang Yun. Instead, he stood where he was and explained the situation: "Pang Yun's consciousness is fine, and he has woken up now."

He has enough confidence in brain-computer interface technology and faces problems without fear.

While starting the live broadcast, Xiao Meng was allowed to access the surveillance footage in the ward.

In the picture, Pang Yun has sat up and is breathing rapidly, obviously frightened.

"I'll start checking now to see exactly what went wrong."

After saying this, he disappeared from the ring.

The next second, he appeared in front of Pang Yun's bed.

There were frequent footsteps in the corridor, and it was obvious that medical staff were running over.

"How do you feel now? Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Xu Meng asked.

"Uh..." Pang Yun looked a little guilty.

But in front of Xu Meng, he didn't dare to hide it: "I... am a little sleepy, and my mind is a little confused. I feel like my brain is too dull from overusing it."

"A bit sleepy? Overworking your brain?" Xu Meng frowned. "That shouldn't be the case."

"The interface uses the best materials, and the connection is very stable..."

As he spoke, he opened windows one after another and retrieved various data.

Thousands of people around the ring were watching the big screen on the ring, and the live broadcast room was flooded with millions of viewers in a very short time.

Some are worried, some are anxious, some are excited...

But everyone is watching the development of this matter closely.

Then everyone noticed—

When seeing a certain piece of data, Xu Meng's originally serious and nervous expression suddenly changed significantly!
He raised his head from a pile of data windows and looked at Pang Yun speechlessly:
"You were online for 5 hours in 30 days from May 14th to today???"

"Are you crazy?!!"

Pang Yun lowered his head in shame, speechless.

The audience in the live broadcast room were also stunned.

After completing the simple arithmetic problem, they were shocked on the spot -

"What the hell! 292 divided by 14 equals... 20.85!??"

"This guy is online for nearly 21 hours a day on average?? Damn, what kind of player is this?"

"For half a month, I worked 21 hours a day, and the rest of the time I didn't sleep, I had to eat and so on..."

"It's amazing! You're awesome for not dying suddenly!"

"I wouldn't dare to do this even with a dream machine! He just uses his brain? Is he that careless???"

"What about anti-addiction measures?? Save them!!"
