2: Each player can have a different number of followers. In theory, all creatures in the game (including but not limited to NPCs, bosses, magical creatures, mechanical creatures, and rune creatures) can become the player's followers after the appropriate conditions are met. Or pets, players can dismiss the followers they own at any time, and the followers will continue to be NPCs after they regain their freedom.

Humanoids (intelligent life forms and sub-intelligent life forms) are servants, and others are pets.

Only players can have human servants, player servants and free NPCs can only have pets.

5: The game has no GM, no developer, no producer, no data monitoring, no BUG, ​​no one can view or monitor the data in the game, because the essence of the game is "another world".

----

The scorching sun at noon poured into the spacious white hall through a large piece of colored glass, spreading the unique bright colors of midsummer. Standing in the queue, Mu Ning seemed like a world away.

"Student, classmate?"

The crisp and pleasant voice of the staff behind the service desk came, and Mu Ning slowly came back to his senses, and let the girl in uniform take the card in his hand and swipe it on the stage.

"Student Mu, you booked a cabin client for the game "Eternal Glory". The information shows that our service personnel will come to your door to install and debug the client at [-]:[-] pm the day after tomorrow. Do you have any other requirements?"

Mu Ning frowned and looked at the girl who was wearing a gray and white uniform and smiling kindly, and then looked down at his own shadow on the smooth table. He opened his mouth, but couldn't speak.

"Student Mu, do you have any other requirements for our warehouse client? Please feel free to tell me." The girl in the light blue uniform was not impatient at all, and waited friendly and patiently for Mu Ning to answer.

"It's nothing, I'm very satisfied." Mu Ning reached out to take the identity verification card from the girl, turned and left the front desk.

"What's going on here?" Mu Ning looked at the childish face on the identity card in Qingbai's hand, and walked out the door in a daze.

"Muning, where are you going?"

A familiar voice came from behind, putting an arm on his shoulder: "Why are you out of your mind, and they won't return the game cabin? It doesn't make sense."

Mu Ning turned around slowly, he was completely blindfolded.

"Liu...Liu Zhe?"

The tall boy in a flowered shirt and sunglasses bared his teeth and smiled at Mu Ning, showing his beautiful white and neat teeth.

He reached out to hug Mu Ning, but Mu Ning unnaturally turned sideways to avoid it.

"?" The boy was full of doubts: "What's wrong?"

Liu Zhe...why is Liu Zhe here! ?

This is clearly Liu Zhe from high school. Could it be that he is dreaming?

"Muning, don't worry, let's go, I will accompany you to tell them that there is no reason not to return the product!"

Liu Zhe couldn't help saying that he wanted Lamuning to go in and argue with the staff.

"Don't, don't, don't! Zhe... son, I won't leave the game cabin!" Mu Ning held Liu Zhe and repeated it again. Liu Zhe just took off his sunglasses and stared at Mu Ning up and down, left and right with beautiful peach eyes: " What's wrong with you, Ningning, didn't you ask me to accompany you to return the game cabin? You have to pay off the debt for Niu Rongrong."

"Retire from the game cabin?" Mu Ning remembered that he had withdrawn from a game cabin at the beginning, could it be today?

And the name Niu Rongrong... Mu Ning vaguely remembered a face, and he frowned.

"Ning Ning, are you alright?" Liu Zhe asked worriedly, holding his shoulders, because Mu Ning's face is very pale now.

Mu Ning took a deep breath and shook his head: "I'm fine, can you... take me home? I'm not feeling well."

He really scared Liu Zhe, he ran to the parking lot to pick up the car, almost racing against time.

Sitting on the back seat of the car, Mu Ning was absorbed in watching the familiar and unfamiliar buildings pass by outside the window, but his thoughts had long since drifted away.

Outside the car window is a familiar city. In the future, this city will undergo earth-shaking changes, and the whole world will undergo earth-shaking changes because of a revolution.

Mu Ning slowly pinched his arm with his hand, and the constant tingling told him that this was not a dream, but a real reality that left him at a loss.

He stretched out his hand and pressed the window glass blankly and said to himself: "I really went back to 15 years ago?"

It is difficult for you to understand the panic and confusion of a person who suddenly returned to 15 years ago after death.

When his chest was pierced by a few spears, Mu Ning also threw out two lightning chains, the power was average, but the few people who attacked him were also dead.

One for three, big profits.

Mu Ning has accepted his death openly and frankly, embracing the flow of nothingness and returning to the great circulation. He thought he could finally rest quietly, and it was over.

However, he did not die, but returned to 15 years ago.

He was desperate to make sure he was indeed alive, to make sense of what was going on around him.

Mu Ning was sitting on his sofa with his photo album in a daze. It contained photos of him from childhood to adulthood. Most of the photos were of himself, and only a few of them had group photos with his father and mother. He silently Pull those out and throw them in the trash.

Looking around at the familiar and unfamiliar house, this house was sold when he was the poorest, but the house is a house, not a home, and there is no such thing as a home for a long time.

Owning this house worth a lot of money again, Mu Ning didn't have a trace of joy or joy of regaining it, but only felt irritated and funny.

What the fuck is this?

He didn't understand why God asked him to go back to the past, he had nothing to worry about and nothing he couldn't let go of, so why did he come back?

Liu Zhe was chopping vegetables and cooking in the kitchen, while telling Mu Ning what was new in the past two days. Mu Ning kept answering, but he hardly used his brain to listen.

Liu Zhe is Mu Ning's childhood friend, a man of the school, tall, handsome and rich, smart and arrogant, but everyone is very tolerant and regards everything Liu Zhe has as an advantage .

No way, you have to admit that good-looking people always take advantage of this world.

Two bowls of white rice and a plate of pork fried with garlic sprouts were served, and Mu Ning ate them slowly, with a familiar taste.

"Zhezi, thank you." Mu Ning's voice was quiet and vague.

The long time has made him almost forget that there was a "good brother", a good brother who grew up with him, who was willing to do anything for him, a brother who silently liked him, but never dared to say it.

Now his face is full of the unruly and sunny boyishness, with the arrogance of "I am number one in the world" and "you are all idiots".

How did I become good buddies with him when I was young?

I forgot.

Mu Ning's thank you surprised Liu Zhe on the opposite side. He showed his white teeth, touched his head with his hand, and smiled embarrassedly.

Standing 1.8 meters tall, the boy with sword eyebrows and starry eyes is unexpectedly cute when he is cramped.

"You're still being polite to me," Liu Zhe asked suspiciously, "Ning Ning, why are you different from usual today? It's weird. What's wrong?"

Mu Ning shook his head with a smile.

This kid only showed this gentle and considerate appearance in front of himself and his parents, proudly outside.

Liu Zhe said Ning Ning, what are you looking at me for, I don't have any flowers on my face.

Mu Ning wanted to tease him that it was more beautiful than flowers, but he couldn't say it, so save it.

After the meal, Liu Zhe cleaned up the dishes, and Mu Ning looked around at his home.

Every arrangement has a familiar feeling, and the strange thing is that in thousands of dreams, he has never returned to this place that should have been haunted by dreams.

He couldn't help thinking of himself in his "previous life", retired from the game cabin, and handed over the money to Niu Rongrong to pay off her mother's gambling debts. Later, he didn't want to see Niu Rongrong being forced to pay, crying and gritted his teeth, even selling his own house to make up for it.

At that time, he didn't expect to exhaust his strength to pay off his gambling debts. Instead of being grateful, his 'girlfriend' made a big fuss and left in a fit of anger.

Mu Ning couldn't even afford to eat, so she went to see her, but she just said calmly that we should break up.

Well, let's break up...

At that time, Mu Ning didn't cry for compensation, because he realized that even if he paid off the gambling debts for Niu Rongrong, he didn't feel a little bit of happiness, and his "girlfriend" who had been with him for four years was with him at such a timing. He didn't suffer any way to leave.

He just nodded and picked up the clothes that had been thrown on the ground and left, making Niu Rongrong's original preparation for fighting a joke.

So you see, love is nothing more than that.

At that time, Mu Ning calmly borrowed money to buy a game cabin, and started his game career in the dark and cold rental house.

"Ning Ning, my mother will make soup tomorrow, let me bring you some." Liu Zhe asked Mu Ning while putting the dishes and chopsticks in the dishwasher.

Liu Zhe's family conditions are very good. He didn't suffer much from childhood to adulthood. A lot of people outside the family hurt him. He grew up in a honey pot and became a bully.

This kind of Liu Zhe hugged him in his arms and said, Mu Ning, I love you, and that I would never make you sad, but what he got was: "Go away, I don't want to see you again in the future."

Liu Zhe took revenge on Niu Rongrong in a place he couldn't see, and ruined Niu Rongrong's family. Mu Ning didn't half-praise him.

Are you avenging me, or just blaming her, who knows?

At that time, Mu Ning was already silent in the game world, no longer wasting extra emotions.

"Ningning, do you want to eat fruit?" Liu Zhe held an apple and a pear: "Which one do you choose?"

"Apple." Mu Ning couldn't help but smiled, he had no reason to remember that he chose pears in his previous life.

Mu Ning's house is not big, with a total of less than [-] square meters. When he was a child, he still loved cleanliness, and the house was well organized.

There are two bedrooms and one big one is where his parents used to live. Now they have formed their own families and have nothing to do with themselves.

Mu Ning didn't care, time had already diluted all emotions, and even the heart-piercing crying and bitter pleading disappeared without a trace.

Mu Ning also had a happy childhood when he was a child. His parents were both well-known architects. He liked all kinds of building models and drawings since he was a child.

His ambition is to be a great architect like his father and build the most powerful buildings in the world.

But who would have thought that when the marriage of the two architects broke down, they would push the future young architect by coincidence, refuse to take him into their new families, and fight a tug-of-war in court?

The house is left to you, and the living expenses have been called to you. For the rest, parents are too busy pursuing their true love to take care of it.

Mu Ning was looking at the sketches of the building pasted on the wall of his room. The sketches were carefully drawn, but rough and childish. He has always loved drawing these little things.

Three thumb-thick metal pillars, ranging in length from two to three meters in length and of different materials and colors, were nailed obliquely to the side. The whole body was polished and polished without any trace of rust, and one end gradually became thinner and sharper. Such as cone needle.

Mu Ning reached out and touched the shortest one, which was only two meters long. The original galvanized layer had been wiped off, revealing the unique silver-gray metallic color of stainless steel, which was cold to the touch.

These three lightning rods were all taken from the high-rise buildings before they were demolished. They were the collections of Mu Ning when he graduated from junior high school. He spent a lot of effort to remove them.

This year I was 17 years old, finished my second year of high school, and it was also the summer vacation when "Eternal Glory" started running.

"How long before we start school?"

Liu Zhe peeled the apple, thought for a while and said, "Isn't it just a four-day holiday, and there are 47 days to start school, what's wrong?"

"Zhezi, play games with me, aren't Abin and Mosquito ready to play too?"

"Ah? Are you serious?" Liu Zhe raised his head: "Didn't you let me play with you?" Liu Zhe handed the apple out of the core and put it on a plate, and Mu Ning pinched a piece and stuffed it into his mouth .

"Seriously, maybe I can earn some pocket money in the game." Mu Ning smiled.

Liu Zhe didn't take it seriously, his pocket money is impossible to earn even if he plays games.

He usually has a rich spare time life. If he didn't want to accompany Mu Ning, how could he stay at home like a nerd and watch animations and play games?

But Mu Ning said to play together, he must be very happy.

"Listen to you." There was joy in Liu Zhe's voice, watching Mu Ning eat the apple happily.

After a while, Liu Zhe's voice came from the kitchen: "Mom? I'm at Ningning's house, can you book me a game cabin of "Eternal Glory", I want to play with Ningning during the holiday."

"Yes! It's the one that is very popular, you order the best one, hurry up!"

"Of course, with Ningning, what worries do you have?"

Liu Zhe went out of the kitchen and blinked: "It's done!".There is a tear mole in the corner of his eye, and he looks very delicate when he blinks.

Mu Ning said that no matter what you do, your mother doesn't care about you, just like herding sheep.

"You don't understand," Liu Zhe sank into the sofa and turned on the [-]D projection TV, crossed his legs and hugged Mu Ning proudly: "As long as I'm with you, if I say I want to kill and set fire with you, my mother will go buy a gun first." .”

I've heard this a lot before, why didn't I find it weird then?

"You go home early and install the game pod, and the server will be opened in four days, so read some information first so as not to go in and get smeared." Mu Ning said.

Liu Zhe laughed: "Of course, when did you see me fight an unsure battle?" Then he put on his sunglasses, patted Mu Ning on the shoulder and went out.

"Braised beef brisket tomorrow?" Liu Zhe turned his head while grabbing the door frame.

"I want to eat lamb."

Liu Zhe snapped his fingers: "Decree!" and walked away.

"Eternal Glory" has been in operation for 15 years, and the reasons for its ability to overwhelm all online games are too many to count. Its world view is so huge that players cannot fully explore it in their entire lives; secondly, it is extremely realistic. Touching flowers, plants, trees, birds and beasts is no different from reality, and there will not be two players and two NPCs in the game world with the same appearance and personality. This is an unprecedented feat; the third "Eternal Glory" is different from the old online games. There is no development team, no closed beta, no GM, and no bugs of any kind. No one can interfere with the game process. The game company only provides the installation and maintenance of the game cabin, and all the content of the game has nothing to do with the game company .

As for why such a unique and weird online game can receive strong support from governments around the world, no one knows.

But Mu Ning knows that the game company only provides tools to "link" the two worlds, and they don't know the real content of the opposite world, nor can they spy on the data.

The local life of the entire game, like the players, only begins to have consciousness and memory at the moment the game starts running, and begins to get familiar with their respective characters and act in the game.

And the virtual reality link access plan that was updated five years after the game was launched has almost turned the entire real world into a part of the game world. Is it Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou?No one cares anymore.

As the sun was setting, Mu Ning sat quietly alone in the gradually darkened room. He looked out of the window in a daze until the light of the sky faded completely and the lights of the street gradually floated up. Then he closed his eyes and curled up on the sofa to fall asleep. go.
