Chapter One: Xiao Ying
In the year 2110 AD, a fierce resource war finally broke out globally after a hundred years of peace.
In the year 2120 AD, the first biological intelligent brain in human history - Nüwa was born. The prevalence of artificial intelligence also led to a significant increase in global unemployment rates!
In the year 2200, a legendary biological super-high-intelligence computer, Pangu, was born, with technological advancements hundreds of years ahead of today's standards. Based on the current global situation, the Earth Federal Government launched a strategic virtual network game that covers the entire globe - "Yu Wang". With Pangu as the server, it can accommodate tens of billions of people online at the same time, and the virtual degree is 99.999999% in this virtual network game!
"Yu Wang" is based on the Earth's geography, enlarged by 10,000 times. The entire game world is divided into five continents: Shen Zhou Continent (Asian countries), Dark Continent (India, Middle East and other countries), Magic Continent (South and North American countries), Xuan Huan Continent (North European and African countries) and NPC Death Continent, which is set as permanently neutral by the system.
The game incorporates the most brilliant, controversial and proud historical periods of human history from various countries, skillfully and balancedly integrated together, yet each with its own characteristics, such as China's Three Kingdoms, Japan's Warring States, the imperial eras of Eastern Europe and Asia (Rome, Persia, Maya...), the heroic ages of North and South America, etc. However, it will not include mythical creatures that would affect game balance, such as China's gods, demons, Buddhas, monsters, witches, and immortals, because Chinese mythology is too vast and profound, and if they were to appear, China's population would already be too large, so how could other countries play...
"Yu Wang" uses a super-intelligent server that surpasses human IQ and has collected all historical data from around the world, without any GMs. No one, including countries, can modify or interfere with the game. In other words, if you have the ability to find bugs in the game, go ahead and use them, no matter what others think or whether they have evidence or not. Because the space inside the game is 10,000 times that of the Earth, and NPCs are at least 1,000 times more numerous than humans. In other words, every time a player enters the game, the system will randomly refresh 1,000 new NPCs.
In the game, all currencies are diamonds, gold, silver, and copper. One gold coin is equal to one Earth currency, one diamond coin is equal to 1,000 gold coins, and one gold coin is equal to 100 silver coins or 10,000 copper coins. Under the condition of unified global resource allocation, game currency and real-world currency have become equivalent.
Game time and real-world time are in a 1:4 ratio, with one hour in reality being equal to four hours in the game. This effectively extends human lifespan. Based on the current state of the Earth and various reasons, more than 80% of people entered the game at the start of "Yu Wang". It can be said that humanity's battlefield has shifted from reality to "Yu Wang".
In the game world, the Death Continent is located in the middle of the four continents and is a permanently neutral map. This means that this map has no ethnic divisions, countries, religions, or regional divisions. As the venue for national wars and global competitions, every real year, the Death Continent hosts a national war and various competitions.
The dark continent in the game world is based on the Imperial era, but it also has different cultural races such as Rome, Persia, Maya and Egypt, each with their own professional skills. These will be discussed later, for now the focus is still on the Three Kingdoms.
The magical continent and the mysterious continent in the game are roughly based on the classic game "Heroes of Might and Magic" from over a hundred years ago, with 12 intelligent species: humans, elves, dwarves, beastmen, giants, winged people, sea tribes, undead, demons, monsters, titans, and special ones. Each species has many branches, which are divided into six basic occupations: warriors, knights, thieves, archers, mages, and priests. Each occupation has several advanced occupations to choose from, and can also be crossed with other occupations for advancement.
The continent of Shen Zhou is a mainland dominated by the yellow race, and there are no racial distinctions on the continent of Shen Zhou. Everyone is human, with only differences in occupation and skills. For example, Japan's Warring States period was mainly divided into warriors, ninjas, Onmyojis, ronins, and sorcerers. China, on the other hand, was dominated by the Three Kingdoms, which were divided into military generals, strategists, civil officials, Taoist priests, chivalrous outlaws, etc. Although there are few occupations at first glance, they can be further divided into countless types. For example, Taoist priests can be further divided into beast tamers, mechanical engineers, and other N types. Strategists can also be divided into Feng Shui masters, heavenly strategists, military tacticians, and other N types. Among them, there are countless specialized or part-time life occupations.
《Yu Wang》 is a game that mainly focuses on strategic mode, and there will be no situation where one person can destroy thousands of people or the entire country. Even the archangel can be shot down by Huang Zhong, haha... The specific details will be described later, but if your combat power is high enough, you may not be able to destroy thousands of people, and it's still possible to break through.
There is another point that both the Dark Continent and the Divine State Continent can learn any skills, and martial generals can also learn magic, life skills, etc., but there are no career bonuses. Even if Lü Bu learned Zhang Jiao's special skill "Wind Cloud Change", what's the use? Having those skills doesn't mean you can bring out their power, and apart from the six basic skills of farming, fishing, hunting, herbalism, mining, and logging that anyone can learn on their own, all other skills can only be obtained through quests or defeating NPCs. Cities do not provide skill learning.
Moreover, the most important point is that Chinese people can learn various famous generals' mental methods, but they are not internal skills, and can only increase attack power, magic effects, etc. Of course, the probability of learning these mental methods is not much higher than winning the lottery, huh? It's probably similar to the probability of becoming an angel on other continents! In short, everything relies on personal exploration, and in the game, the strength of all top-level careers is balanced.
Xiao Ying looked at the official introduction and couldn't help but laugh at himself. For three years, since he moved away from his hometown, he had no friends except for the two artificial intelligence robots at home, and he didn't trust anyone. At one time, Xiao Ying was also a legendary figure in the virtual network, and three years ago, he was the emperor of the strongest guild, Iron Blood Empire, in the country's largest virtual network game "Dream". He had a group of iron-clad brothers who would sacrifice their lives for him.
But three years ago, everything changed. For the sake of the gang's interests, former brothers turned against him, plotting and framing him. Xiao Ying didn't know what he did wrong, and he thought he had always been generous to his brothers, otherwise he wouldn't have established such a large iron-blooded empire. But why did it end up with everyone turning against him? Even his own lover, who hadn't participated in the plot, remained neutral! It wasn't until later, by chance, that Xiao Ying discovered everything was for the sake of interests! Interests, for the sake of interests, those brothers had been secretly plotting for nearly two years. The closest woman could ignore their love for each other, were the emotions they shared for five years or even longer just made of paper?
September 9th, 2200 AD, 9:00 AM sharp, the online game "Yu Wang" that is infinitely close to reality officially opens...
