As time goes by, technology advances, and the business of time travel also keeps pace with the times. However, according to incomplete statistics, 78% of time travel is caused by being hit by a car, and most of them wake up to find themselves in an unfamiliar room.
Logan woke up after being hit by a car and found himself in an unfamiliar room.
It's not entirely correct to say it's strange. The layout of the room exudes a sense of familiarity - the messy desk, the stool with a missing leg, the shelf full of CDs, the blinding non-mainstream poster...
He looked around for a few seconds before he suddenly realized, this, isn't this the room where the story in "Tomorrow" begins?
In "Tomorrow", as soon as the player enters the game, he will appear in a small apartment, where he needs to complete a series of novice guidance tasks such as "put on equipment" and "light up skills", and finally defeat two zombies that break into the house.
Logan had built three trumpets and was very familiar with this scene.
Logan touched the wooden desk, feeling a sense of reality that was still unreal - what was wrong with him?
There are five common professions for players to choose from in Tomorrow: student, white-collar worker, athlete, doctor, teacher, and two paid professions, special forces and researcher, which require payment to choose; in addition, there are special professions such as killer, thief, monk, Taoist priest, actor, singer, chef, etc., which have a certain probability of being triggered when entering the game, and it is also possible to meet special conditions in the game to acquire a full-time job or a side job. Each profession has its own advantages and disadvantages that are in line with its own professional characteristics. The five basic professions are generally balanced, and the attribute advantages of paid professions are more prominent.
Logan chose the profession of student in the game. His attributes in all aspects are relatively average, and his advantage is that he has great growth potential. Looking at the layout of his room at this time, it is exactly the same as the layout of the apartment when he entered the game as a student. If the basic routine here is based on the game, then it is very likely that his current profession is still a student.
But... He lowered his head, lifted up his large T-shirt, and looked at his flat upper body without any muscle - this was his own body that he was very familiar with, not the player character with eight-pack abs in the game. In front of the dressing mirror, his own face was also reflected, calm and quiet, with a hint of panic and confusion, completely different from the sunny, flamboyant and energetic student character in "Tomorrow".
Unable to find any other clues in the room, Logan stumbled to the window and looked down. Tomorrow is an ordinary 3D game, and you cannot actively perform actions such as looking down through the window in the game.
But what he saw now was just like the game world was completed - the end of the world had come, everything was silent, zombies were roaming the city, and occasionally there were shrill cries coming from nowhere.
The game begins on the tenth day of the apocalypse. The surviving player protagonist has eaten up the family's stored food and finally faces reality. He decides not to sit and wait for death, but to go out and seek a way to survive.
The next second, there was a familiar scratching sound at the door. The harsh scratching sound seemed particularly oppressive and urgent at this moment. After five seconds, there was a chewing sound.
It's the zombies outside the door gnawing at the door.
Logan cursed inwardly. If what he thought was right, the two outside the door would break in within half a minute.
He ran back to the bedroom from the balcony, skillfully opened the bottom drawer of the wooden desk, and took out a metal stick. This was the initial weapon given by the system for students at levels 1 to 5 [the steel pipe that bad boys love the most].
Logan weighed the weight in his hand and murmured, "Depending on you, old brother." Although the Steel Pipe Brother would inevitably be discarded after playing the game past level 5, Logan was still full of affection for the first weapon he obtained in the game.
Although he hadn't figured out his current situation, he couldn't let zombies eat him to death, even in his dreams! These were level 0 zombies for novices to practice with! This was simply an insult to a veteran Tomorrow player who had killed countless zombies!
Although he used mouse and keyboard to deal with them before.
Logan confidently walked to the back of the refrigerator and lay in ambush, waiting for the zombies to pounce on him - the best place to get caught. Here, the two zombies couldn't touch him and could only get beaten.
With a "bang", the outer door broke open and two zombies came in. The initial zombies at level 0 were not outstanding in any aspect, their reactions were slow, and their speed was about the same as that of an old man walking on the street.
Logan watched them slowly moving forward, calculating silently, one step, two steps, three steps... soon, when they get close to the refrigerator, they will be stuck and unable to move.
The two zombies smelled the smell of raw meat and approached Logan step by step. After hitting the refrigerator, they changed direction and continued to pounce on Logan behind the refrigerator.
What's going on?! The script is wrong!
Logan didn't expect the zombies to be able to bypass the refrigerator, and he was in a panic. He attacked the one in front with a stick, barely dodged the claws of the other one by leaning sideways, and kicked it at the same time.
The kick hit the zombie's throat by accident, knocking it to the ground, giving Logan time to concentrate on dealing with the other one. By the time this one got up, Logan had already completely dealt with the first one.
After both zombies had set their death flags, Logan thought about it carefully and realized something was wrong. He was a typical weak and useless college student who was harmed by the current education system and barely passed the physical examination every year. He had just graduated and found a clerical job. He had never really taken a steel pipe to fight in the streets since he was a child. The martial arts moves he was most proficient in were the Tai Chi opening moves taught by the enthusiastic old grandfather in the park. So it was impossible for him to deal with two zombies so easily.
Thinking back to the action just now, the way he swung the steel pipe seemed like the basic physical attack skill Feiyunzhan in the game, and that kick also looked like the basic skill Sweeping Leg---So, he should have automatically mastered a few basic skills, just like in the game?
There is no point in thinking too much now. No matter whether it is a dream, the popular time travel or something else, he can only take one step at a time.
The man next door looked through the peephole for a long time, finally opened a small crack with trembling hands, and called softly: "Zhiyin, Zhiyin, are you okay?"
Logan walked to the destroyed front door of his house with mixed feelings. He knew this part of the story. The uncle next door was called Pang Guang, who had a power mutation, a kind heart, and was as timid as a mouse. After this incident, he would ask the player to escape together, and then they would kill monsters along the way with several other neighbors and reach the Lihua Shopping Center as a temporary base.
He thought about it and replied like the protagonist of the game: "Uncle Pang, I'm fine."
Pang Guang frowned and said, "There are monsters like this everywhere now. I have been waiting for so many days but there is no news of rescue. I think it is better to rely on myself than on others. My dear, how about we fight together? If we keep wasting time like this, we will die sooner or later."
Hearing the familiar lines from the game being spoken by a real NPC, Logan pursed his lips, paused for a moment and said, "Okay."
Pang Guang brought out a butcher knife and said, "Uncle has prepared it a long time ago. Be careful, let's go!"
Logan and Uncle Pang went all the way down. They lived on the twelfth floor. On the way out, they also met a series of familiar NPCs, such as their neighbor Grandma Xu, the little girl Jingjing who went to kindergarten, and the baseball player brother. There were eight of them in total. After all, there were only the lowest level 0 zombies along the way. It was daytime, so they reached Lihua Shopping Center without any danger.
Many people have gathered here, and some people who used to work in the public sector have spontaneously organized themselves to distribute food and wait for rescue. Logan is not unfamiliar with this place, after all, it is the equivalent of a novice village in the game.
Arriving at Lihua Shopping Mall has a special meaning - all players will know what special powers they have awakened only after arriving here.
The superpower setting in "Tomorrow" is one of the most profitable and popular settings. The game has five common enhanced superpowers - physical strength, strength, defense, speed, and precision; five common elemental superpowers - gold, wood, water, fire, and earth; two mutant elemental superpowers - ice and thunder; and three special superpowers - space, spirit, and healing. If you are very lucky, you may even trigger a double superpower of any two superpowers.
Of course, the better and more precious the power, the lower the chance of triggering it. Most players naturally trigger ordinary enhanced powers here. However, in a game that charges props, these are not a problem. The prop mall tells you that ordinary enhanced powers cost 50 yuan, ordinary elemental powers cost 66 yuan, mutant elemental powers cost 300 yuan, special powers cost 666 yuan, and you can even activate a second power for only 500 yuan.
But! The second ability that cost 500 yuan to unlock is random! It is very likely that it is the most useless ordinary enhanced ability!
The props mall tells you that this is not a problem. As long as you spend another 500 yuan to reopen it, you will have a chance to refresh the second superpower. Of course, the mall cannot guarantee what the new superpower will be. However, as long as you have money, you can keep refreshing until you get the dual superpowers you dream of.
In addition, there are actually hidden abilities that cannot be purchased in the prop mall, but that only depends on luck and cannot be bought with money, which makes it even more valuable.
Just like in the game, a responsible auntie appeared and explained to them how ordinary people might activate superpowers, etc., and taught them how to check whether they had activated superpowers and what superpowers they had activated.
In the game, he would naturally click on the newly activated superpower page to check, but now Logan had to press his heart hard and look at his left wrist at the same time as his aunt taught him.
A faint gray mark appeared there.
Gray...if I remember correctly, it should represent ordinary enhanced abilities? No, Logan was stunned for a moment, where is his cool ice ability? Or is this world really irrelevant to his game?
The next second, Logan remembered something, and suddenly he became Spartan.
He spent three hundred dollars to buy his cool ice ability. His Zhiyin account awakened a precise mutation at the beginning! Later, he was unwilling to give up, so he opened three small accounts and played the initial plot three times, but all of them awakened ordinary enhanced mutations. As it is well known that the ability is very important to this game, ordinary enhanced mutations can't be mixed in the later stage, so Logan gritted his teeth and charged five hundred at the beginning, and used three hundred to exchange for ice ability...
Logan squatted in the corner and drew circles in frustration. Suddenly, he saw an icon that was familiar but should never appear on the gray lines. It was two gold ingots stacked together, with four big characters below: Props Mall.
Damn, Qinglang Company is crazy about money. They won’t let me go even if I dream or travel through time!
