Chapter 58 Parallel Imports(1/2)

The University Town is far from the Central District.

It takes about two hours to take a bus and one hour to take a taxi. Although it is in the capital circle, it is as big as the distance between two cities. Shi Min only came once when he organized an event in the class. Century Plaza is located in the middle of this most prosperous block and is a typical super-large commercial area.

Jumping off the bus and stepping on the stone pavement of this square covering an area of ​​nearly 1,000 acres, Shi Min felt that he had stepped into the shopping mall, opera house, movie city, food street and various video game buildings in an instant. In the colorful cascade, the first-grade rookie who has been living in a small third-tier city, had no other ideas except to sigh.

The news channel of foreign TV stations was being broadcasted in the public TV in the square. The blonde and blue-eyed white host quickly spoke birds that ordinary people could not understand. Looking at the picture, it seemed that the news of the Chinese military parade was news, but due to his extremely bad English proficiency, Shi Min couldn't understand a single sentence.

"The military parade originally scheduled for the National Day holiday was postponed, and the military spokesperson did not explain the reason. It seems that it has made a decision in the past two or three days. Dear, what do you think?"

Xu Yan put his hands in his pockets of his jeans, and easily translated a long list of foreign languages ​​into understandable Chinese like a recitation. Finally, he ended the inquiry with a rhetorical question.

Shi Min said with a laugh.

"I feel that your translation skills are pretty good. Do you also have a language major?"

"Huh, I guessed it very accurately, I majored in Business English in the 13th class."

Xu Yan smiled freely, not at all with Shi Min's pretending to be stupid. She led the way directly in front and walked towards a round arch-style door. Today she wore a cotton long-sleeved top made of gray tone body and black and white tone sleeves, and black jeans on the lower body. Her neutral dress style and neat action style, Shi Min felt that she would definitely be able to play the image of a street dance boy if she chewed it with a piece of gum.

The arch is very large, and it is more than enough to put an elephant in. At first, Shi Min thought there was a shopping mall inside, but after entering, he found that it was a separate space, paved with black marble on the ground, which was very large and spacious, and there was a large door right in front.

"Here."

Xu Yan pointed to the counter on the right and said, Shi Min walked up with her with curiosity. The counter was in a corner, and there was a circle of thick curtains wrapped around it, revealing only a line of related expressions, which made people feel very strange.

Seeing the two of them coming in, the waiter wearing a standard brown vest quickly stood up and said.

"Two, what do you need."

"Two twenty-point points cards, help this person register an account at the same time."

Xu Yan generously took out a fifty-yuan bill from his bag and handed it over. After checking it, the waiter recounted respectfully:

"You are charged fifty, two twenty-point points cards, and you are charged another ten yuan in registration fee. Sir, please enter your login name."

A ten-inch LCD screen and a small keyboard were turned on at the counter. Shi Min felt that this thing was quite fresh.

"Don't type the name of a bad street, it's usually snatched."

Xu Yan, who had long had registration experience, reminded him.

Shi Min scratched his head, the words in his stomach were not right. After thinking for a while, he typed the words "MiG 25" on it, and then clicked the OK button.

"Your name is not registered and can be used. Please make a record here."

Shi Min never expected that the registration process would be so smooth. He was surprised and pressed heavily on the fingerprint scanning panel next to the keyboard. The system automatically saved it, and then two translucent light white cards popped out from the card slot.

"MiG25? If I remember correctly, it should be a former Soviet aircraft model. Don't defect to the one that Lianko defected to drive."

"Yeah, that's the model."

"Aren't MiG machines all out to 35 now? Why use such an old model?"

"Ahhh, that thing with fashionable materials is a heresy of the MiG family. Stainless steel + triple speed is the romance of air combat weapons! Oh, by the way, I'm sorry, I asked you to pay just now."

Xu Yan shrugged, expressing his incomprehension. At this time, the waiter took out two cat-faced masks, one black and one yellow, and handed them respectfully with both hands.

"Sorry, according to the regulations, in order to protect your privacy, please wear this during the battle in the hall, and only when you return here can you take it off, otherwise you will be disqualified from entering again."

Shi Min felt that this statement was really inexplicable, and it was not an illegal activity, so it was so interesting to cover it up? Could it be that the boss here was nervous because he watched too many police and gangster movies?

Xu Yan also looked confused. It seemed that she had never experienced such a thing in the south before. However, since she was not convenient to say more on her territory, fortunately, the human-machine design of the two masks was very reasonable and the materials were used very high-end. There was no discomfort when putting on it, so the two of them had to settle for it.

But when he saw it, Shi Min was shocked. It turned out that at some point in front of him, a guy with a pointed head, a white robe all over his body, and a look similar to a medieval heretic judge. At first glance, he thought it was a ghost.

"Huh, it seems that it is not just a simple mask, but also a built-in 'visual interference device'."

The heresy judge spread his hands and glanced at it, and said in a little surprised.

"Xu...Xu Yan?"

"Nonsense, who do you think it is? Let's go quickly."

The two left the counter with doubts and entered the main entrance. The seemingly heavy door was actually fully automatic induction. When they sensed that they approached, they automatically opened the hall that was laid deeper into the building. The hall was spacious and beautiful. There were familiar metal shell cabins neatly placed inside, with thousands of secrets divided into several blocks. The scene was very spectacular, like a clone production center in a science fiction film.

“Is this….. simulated cockpit?”

Shi Min said in surprise.

This kind of thing is prepared in the control room. To be precise, this thing is patented by the Electric Power University. Although it is quite convenient to use, the cost is high. It is said that you can only buy one of them for about one million RMB, so Beijing Electric Power University does not have many.

"Well, it's basically true, but the performance has been simplified, and the level of reality is much worse."

"This...is this... playing a game?"

This scene made Shi Min feel familiar. When he thought about it carefully, wasn’t the one who arranged his grandmother the Internet cafe? It was just a change of machine.

Xu Yan glanced at Shi Min in surprise and said:

"The reaction is quite fast, and it seems that I have explained it more deeply. To be precise, this is a game that has only emerged in first-tier cities in the past six months. Although the peak game has attracted a lot of attention and enthusiasm, the qualifications for participation are very limited after all, and not everyone has the opportunity to operate the mecha. So the merchants developed such a set of virtual battle equipment based on the simulation cabin by simplifying materials and functional components. Don't look at it so many, each one is only half the cost of the standard goods we use, which is a high-end game console."

"Damn it's so good, okay, okay, is this thing just..."

"Well, this is what the advertisement says, oh, of course you don't have to agree to me immediately, you can experience the feeling first."

Xu Yan tilted his head and pointed at the machines:

"Okay, I'll meet here in an hour."

After exchanging mobile phone numbers, the two started to act separately. The hot and grand occasion in the game hall was unexpectedly expected. The scene was filled with a sea of ​​masked brothers and masked sisters. They were crowded with people, one after another, and shouting and screaming were overwhelming. The temperature in the city was more than four or five degrees higher than that in the outdoors. As long as a simulated cockpit opened the door, there was a mess of pulling and pulling. Shi Min took the boss's strength to get a seat from a dejected boy.

"Squeeze"

The cabin door emitted a familiar locking sound, blocking all the noise. Shi Min then let out a long breath, turned on the power start switch, and lit the display screen one by one. With the light of the screen, he scanned the cockpit and found that the equipment of the special mecha was basically continued, and there should be no major problems in operation.

The first thing that pops up on the main screen is an interface similar to the "Select a House" of the battle game. The option bars of dozens of pages continue to refresh at a frequency of fifteen seconds. Each time the room pattern changes greatly. Shi Min found that there are three types of rooms, including diamond, gold, and white. It is not difficult to guess the difference between them. They should correspond to the powerful version, the rich version, and the silk version. On the left is the personal information display block, under the iron gray name of "MiG 25", the annoying sign "LV0" is printed.

Shi Min seized the opportunity and stuck in one of the rooms with a limit of 2 against the number of people.

The option bar disappeared, the basic mecha selection menu popped up on the screen, and the other side was the vacant "Combat Points" column. There are not many types of basic machines to choose from, but Shi Min still easily saw familiar models such as [Bird] and [Yuheng]. To be on the safe side, the first-grade rookie still chose the most familiar [Tapir C1] and entered ten points in the column.

Try the water first.

The first-grade rookie is careful to think about it

The moment the finger left the screen, the picture changed again. A group of dilapidated buildings appeared around, and below was a street full of abandoned vehicles and garbage. When the wind blew, plastic bags were flying everywhere, as if the city had just finished the nuclear war.

The words "ruins" on the display screen should be the name of this map.

There was also a mecha standing five hundred meters away. From the style, it should be a [cross crossbow] produced by Huagong. However, the guy in the mecha was obviously not a standard assault rifle, but a big guy that needed to be held with both hands. Shi Min had never seen such a gun before, so maybe it was a rich equipment added by the game developer privately.

The image scanner automatically checks and separates the identification information: 105mm heavy assault rifle.

105mm! Then how powerful should he be?!

"Hey, the funny guy over there, I'm still scared to death. Come here quickly!"

The opponent with the words "Crazy and cool man DT" shouted wildly.

According to experience, those who shouted provocation at the beginning must have conspiracy, and grandma's must not be fooled.

Shi Min immediately started to check the weapon system, but he swept the weapon menu but couldn't help but curse. The developer was too cruel. There was nothing on the basic machine except for a 90mm assault rifle and a high-vibration saber.

This is a cheating father!

"Haha, the funny guy really doesn't dare to come. Big trash thought it would be safe to stand there. Grandpa killed you with one move."

The opponent shouted louder and louder. No, there was a problem, there must be a problem.

Shi Min was very alert and secretly equipped the assault rifle with a robot, pulled the gun, and at the same time removed the pin of the high-vibration saber, driving the mecha to pose.

"Garbage and funny, I'm pretending to be your sister, go to die!"

The opposite suddenly screamed, and [Bridge] stepped on the ground with all his strength and rushed up. The garbage and abandoned vehicles on both sides were swept away by the strong impact force brought out by the mecha, and they smashed heavily into the buildings on both sides.

"Bangbangbang"

[Bridge] During the fast Mercedes-Benz, the 105mm heavy assault rifle held continuously ejected fierce artillery fire, which was thicker than any standard assault rifle, and violently penetrated the building complex on both sides. The exterior wall of the brick and stone structure did not play any blocking role, and was easily shattered like a sand wall. [Tapir C1] in the lower position was almost knocked down by falling smoke and gravel.

"Bang bang"

The heavy assault rifle also has an amazingly large-diameter semi-automatic grenade launcher. Accompanied by the firepower of the assault rifle, large-diameter heavy bombs are fired one after another. Is it a high-explosive bomb... No, it is not right.

[Tipir C1]'s armor was shot and deformed steel balls popped up continuously from below the side display screen.

It is a more powerful multi-purpose high-explosive bomb!

The gun is terrifyingly powerful, and its damage ability to the building target is even comparable to that of the support mecha. However, Shi Min was not surprised by this, but by the opponent.

There are too many bugs in action, and everything from action to shooting is a bug, or it means that the guy is a bug in himself!

Are you mistaken? This is considered to be turning on the mecha?

Is there any conspiracy? Shi Min was not sure, so he immediately raised his robotic arm to protect his head, and at the same time set up a 90mm assault rifle. He used the observation gap of the electronic camera to aim at the lower position of the [cross crossbow] for several shots.

To be honest, Shi Min's attack was just a harassment, and there was no intention to paralyze the target with one blow. While the last shell was shot out of the barrel, he immediately drove the mecha to jump to one side, ready to resist the opponent's counterattack.

"Bang bang"

Unexpectedly, the lower limb of the [Border] immediately burst out with a fire of being shot. One mechanical leg was blown away by the explosion, and the other was also crossed by a metal jet. The lost balance rolled and smashed into the road, completely losing its ability to move.

it's over?

Is this the end?
