The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 488 Grandpa, please stop spending your retirement money on card draws! (asking for monthly tickets)

Who would have thought that more than half a century later.

The twilight years of life.

Can I see again the person and face that I deeply loved when I was young?

Active brain nerves activate more than just memory.

At the same time, what also awakens is the passion and feelings for life and the world that one had when he was young.

If the person next to you happens to share the same time with you, then this feeling will be so strong that it will be difficult to contain!
At this moment, Meng Yueling hugged the lover who had accompanied her through most of her life, feeling extremely fortunate and uncontrollable sadness.

She is 89 years old this year.

When I was born, it was still the dark and cruel old era. After a long period of struggle, fighting and endurance, I finally came to this new era.

She was very grateful that she had survived the war and was able to spend her life with her lover.

And in the twilight of life, I caught up with this era of drastic changes and even experienced such amazing scientific and technological achievements——

Go back to your youth with your lover.

It even looks like... this old man has become younger and more handsome than when they first met!
After the kiss, she felt her reborn body and her thoughts returned to her youth.

Many memories that had been blurred have become vivid again.

She recalled the most exciting period of her life.

As a medical worker, they urgently rescued the wounded in the midst of gunfire and bullets, and saved lives in medical points very close to the front line.

She saved many lives.

But he also had no choice but to watch many people die.

Meng Yueling recalled those young faces again.

They were all young men once, fighting side by side for the same ideal.

But later, those faces remained forever the same as they were when they were young, and only she and a few others grew old.

Now, thanks to the magic of technology, she's young again - the same age as the people she remembers.

This made her so sad that she couldn't help but burst into tears.

It attracted everyone's attention.

Meng Yueling's situation is not an isolated case.

After being selected by Xu Meng and activating this special function, many people showed emotional fluctuations of varying degrees.

Those with the least fluctuations were just a little excited and talked more.

But those with the biggest fluctuations showed different behaviors. Some people laughed wildly to the sky, some burst into tears, and some ran and jumped.

After a few minutes of adjustment, these effects gradually disappeared.

For these users themselves, they just feel that they are too excited about regaining their youth, and it is not a big deal.

But for the young people walking on the streets of the sprawling city, it is somewhat exciting.

It is true that people often go crazy on the streets of sprawling cities.

But the usual outbursts were all actions, such as someone suddenly begging, robbing, jumping out of a car, singing, dancing in just underwear, or emotionally reciting a poem to passers-by.

Only today is different——

Today, many people were crying and laughing, which didn't look normal.

Considering that these people had experienced rejuvenation "modeling" changes before their emotions fluctuated drastically, some people even worried that there was something wrong with Xu Meng's technology.

Fortunately, this slight chaos only lasted for a short time and soon disappeared.

Except for a very few elderly people who recall the sad things that happened in their youth, it is difficult for everyone to recover from the sad mood for a while.

The rest all became cheerful and began to use this precious youth time to experience life again——

Some people were with their children and suddenly became younger, and were then pulled by their children to take photos together.

Some people happily made video calls to old friends to show off what they look like now.

Someone ran into the shooting range and tried out all the guns.

Some people go out to sea by boat, wanting to use their young bodies to challenge themselves to catch big fish.

……

Of course, the most common situation is still dinner parties.

In a restaurant by the sea in the eastern district of Mansheng City, a dozen elderly people sat around a table of sumptuous food, eating and chatting.

Ever since they started using the dream machine, they have been eating and drinking lavishly in the Mansheng City.

——In reality, I am full of old age diseases. I dare not eat this or that. Now I can finally satisfy my cravings.

But this time, while they were eating and drinking, suddenly half of them moved their fingers and turned into young men.

This made everyone at the table very envious.

So I toasted them one cup after another. After all, it was a virtual world, so no matter how much I drank, it wouldn't hurt my body!

……

……

Before long, a large number of videos of elderly people becoming younger appeared on major short video platforms!

After becoming young in mind, the first reaction of these elderly people is to share the excitement and happiness with their family and friends.

——Old people from different countries, nationalities and skin colors all share the same happiness at this moment.

Young netizens from all over the world are also sincerely happy for these elderly people.

For a time, there was a beautiful atmosphere of great harmony among the people of all countries in the world.

Then, these "old people" began to re-understand and explore this digital world with a younger mindset.

This has resulted in a significant increase in the participation of elderly users in the game.

Especially "Frost and Snow Project"!
Some grandchildren, sons and daughters were all stunned when they saw their grandfather log into "Frost and Snow Project" and frantically spend his retirement money to draw cards and buy fashions.

A mouthful of old wine got stuck in my throat and I couldn't spit it out.

Although other games are obviously less attractive than "Frost Project", they have also attracted a large number of new users.
-
Meng Yueling and her old man had kissed enough, and the old couple quickly went their separate ways.

They were not in the same unit when they were young, and now they are all eager to find their old comrades for a reunion.

The couple thought that there was still a long time to come, so they waved goodbye and went to find their comrades.

Meng Yueling’s comrades-in-arms get together once a year.

A few years ago, we had offline gatherings. When we met, we reminisced about the past with tears in our eyes.

But now we are all around 80 years old and can no longer bear the fatigue of traveling.

This party moved from offline to online——

In fact, it is just to make an appointment every year to have a video call.

Later, when new technologies were developed for dream building, meetings began using holographic equipment.

This time, the location was changed to the sprawling city in the dream.

When Meng Yueling arrived, her comrades had already gathered in the luxurious hotel room, and were laughing, drinking and bragging.

She looked around and saw only young people, not a single old man.

——This is a little care from Zhumeng: all meritorious soldiers will receive special care.

Whenever Chen Peng visited these meritorious veterans, he would be given the latest equipment as soon as possible.

Through Yin Zhiyuan's coordination, Dream Maker also donated a large number of dream machines to many elderly soldiers.

This was even before the [Rejuvenation] project.

Because many soldiers were injured when they were young, and they are still full of injuries when they are old.

The dream machine can at least help them get rid of the troubles of injuries to a certain extent and live a more comfortable life.

This time, the lucky user was drawn and this list was also included.

As Meng Yueling walked into the private room, a group of people warmly welcomed her to join.

This gathering was completely different from all the previous ones.

In the past, almost all the themes were about reminiscing about the past.

But this time, everyone drank, chatted and laughed.

High-spirited!

He even started bragging, thinking that if he went to the battlefield now, he could kill a dozen more enemies!

Some of the comrades agreed loudly, while others complained - you probably don’t even know how to use the guns nowadays, and going to the battlefield will be like seeking death.

The old man who had regained his youth refused to admit defeat: "How can I not use it? I've been to shooting ranges and gun stores in the Sprawling City. It's very simple!"

……

Everyone became more and more excited as they talked.

At the end of the conversation, an old man drank a large glass of white wine and slammed the glass on the table.

"Let's go! Let's play two games!"

This suggestion is a bit outrageous.

But the twenty-odd people at the scene hit it off immediately!
Meng Yueling was almost laughing out of anger, but she really had no way to deal with these old brothers, so she could only join in.

Ever since——

On the virtual battlefield of "Lord of War", young players faced a team of opponents with an average age of over 80 years old!
