Chapter 342 Players Arrive
A single apartment.
The room was spotless, and all the furnishings were exceptionally neat, giving one an immediate sense of extreme order.
Glancing at the time on his quartz watch, 23:50, Alvin's heart instantly swelled with excitement.
As a gaming enthusiast, despite countless doubts that MUO might be a scam, the moment he actually received the helmet, Alvin still felt like a new World had opened up.
What kind of experience would the Global's first virtual reality game bring him?
Just then, his phone rang.
He looked, and who else could it be but Simon?
Simon: "Great god, it's only a few minutes until the server opens. Which class are you planning to choose?"
Alvin was speechless. Did he really have to ask him about this?
However, having recently received the Ultimate Helmet from Simon, he couldn't refuse.
"If it were me, I would choose the Great Ogre."
Simon asked curiously: "Why?"
Alvin: "I studied the game's CG and the class information on the website. The MUO World is a World where technology and magic coexist. Iron Man, Black Widow, and Hawkeye belong to the technological side; Captain and Hulk belong to genetic mutation, and strictly speaking, they are also on the technological side. While other superhero are basically on the mystical side!"
"But among the mystical side, White, Shuna, and Shadow are very special. They all evolved from Great Ogre to Ogre Mage, and the three of them belong to three different classes—Assassin, Berserker, and Sorcerer. What do you think of?"
Simon's eyes lit up, "Great Ogre are easy to change classes."
Alvin: "Exactly. The Great Ogre can simultaneously support three classes: Swordsman, Berserker, and Sorcerer, which indicates that this race's talent is absolutely top-notch. Maybe they can even learn magic from Doctor Strange!"
"As for the technological side, the Great Ogre can handle that too!"
Simon admired him immensely, "As expected of a Great god. Then I'll be like you and choose to be a Great Ogre as well."
Alvin: "Alright. The server is about to open, hanging up!"
Simon: "Thank you for your guidance, Great god."
After hanging up, seeing the time turn to 23:56, a smile instantly appeared on Alvin's face.
Alvin placed the letter, on which he had already written his "will," in the most conspicuous spot on the table in his drawer, then pressed it down with his phone.
The content written on this paper was roughly that if he did not log out of the game or die within twenty-four hours,
He would voluntarily accept official control and hoped his family would act according to the instructions of the officials and the Doctor.
They must absolutely not forcibly remove the helmet from his head!
In his QQ mailbox, he also wrote an automatically sent email to the daughter of his landlady, who lived next door.
If he didn't log out within eighteen hours, this email would be sent automatically.
The content was to call the police!
Seeing everything ready, Alvin couldn't help but smile.
Alvin immediately put on his helmet and pressed the power switch.
"Link-start!"
After the colorful lines, he entered the account login stage.
Alvin didn't think much and directly used his nickname and password from his previous game.
He was a high-level player, and this nickname could be considered an intangible asset.
Alvin would not give up this advantage!
After entering his ID and password, he entered the race selection stage.
Alvin didn't hesitate at all and directly chose "Great Ogre."
Upon entering the character customization stage, Alvin, without thinking, directly molded the face into a male version of Shuna.
The reason for this choice was that his future class selection would be Sorcerer.
And Shuna was very likely to be the Sorcerer's mentor!
Everyone has a natural fondness for people who look like them.
Moreover, Shuna was a beauty, so a male version of Shuna would undoubtedly be a handsome man.
As for height, Alvin directly chose White's height.
For clothing and appearance, he directly chose Japanese-style clothes.
All of this was to gain favor with Shuna and other Great Ogre NPCs!
Hmm?
But just then, Alvin's brows furrowed.
The difference in appearance between Great Ogre and Ogre Mage was not just a little bit!
Can advancement improve appearance?
Interesting!
However, now was not the time to dwell on these things.
After all the information selection stages, the Great Ogre with the nickname "Colonel Alvin" was born.
"Enter game!"
His consciousness swayed violently, and the scene before him changed abruptly.
Colonel Alvin found himself in a pitch-black Universe, surrounded by debris everywhere.
Planet fragments, spaceship wreckage, biological corpses—everything was so desolate and silent!
In a daze, Alvin even heard desperate cries.
Alvin looked up and couldn't help but recall the two powerful figures playing chess in the CG animation.
At this moment, an indescribable emotion spread through his heart.
He couldn't help but think of Liu Cixin's famous quote, "To destroy you, what does it have to do with you!"
Then, there was a cutscene.
In a wasteland, a shining continent appeared.
As a white chess piece landed, many former superhero were resurrected.
Hearing the regret of those superhero who had lost their relatives and friends, Alvin also felt deeply suppressed.
In the CG animation, the blonde woman holding the white chess piece said,
"My name is Rimuru Tempest, the wielder of the white piece—"
"I can create Worlds, Thanos can destroy Worlds, neither of us can do anything to the other."
"If he and I were to fight, it would inevitably reduce the total mass of the entire Universe and affect the birth of a new World. Therefore, there is this game of chess!"
"Oh, superhero from distant times, please help our Universe, help us defeat Thanos's dark legion. Give this ravaged World a future!"
"Please!"
The cutscene ended, but Alvin still felt a lingering sense of excitement.
One thought creates Worlds, one thought destroys Worlds—what grand ambition!
As superhero, should they help the continent of light defeat the dark legion and restart the World?
Interesting!
Alvin suddenly felt a surge of passion.
Accompanied by inspiring battle music, the World before Alvin's eyes changed again.
After a brief glance, Alvin found that he had arrived at an ancient-style temple.
And he was lying on the temple floor.
Sensing the slight coolness emanating from the floor, Alvin's eyes instantly lit up.
This feeling is so real!
At that moment, Alvin even began to wonder if this wasn't just a game, but reality.
He stretched out his palm, continuously making opening and closing movements.
It was incredibly smooth!
Most importantly, he felt as if his body was filled with an inexhaustible amount of strength.
In the real World, Alvin loved playing games.
Although he was called a Great god, he never had much confidence in his physical stamina.
But this body made him feel like he had endless energy.
What kind of technology is this?
The sensory effects of the game are too amazing!
Alvin suddenly pinched his thigh, but this time, Alvin didn't feel any pain.
"Can feel coolness, sense of strength, but pain perception is eliminated."
"Data-based body?"
"Finally, there's some real game feel."
After a few seconds of fumbling, Alvin found a very small menu button in the lower right corner of his vision.
With a thought, this menu pop-up automatically appeared.
[Name: Colonel Alvin]
[Race: Great Ogre]
[Class: None]
[Level: LV1]
[Experience: 0 / 100]
[Health: 100 / 100]
[Magicules: 50 / 50]
[Constitution: 5]
[Agility: 5]
[Strength: 5]
[Charm: 12]
[Equipment: None]
[Gold: 10]
Seeing the various attributes on the attribute panel, Alvin was very surprised.
His Charm value was actually 12, nearly three times that of his other attributes.
What is Charm for?
Easier to accept quests?
"This panel is really shabby. There's no novice equipment, and only a meager 10 gold coins. What can that even do?"
However, before Alvin could think further, white lights continuously flashed within the temple.
A large number of players were descending!
