Five minutes before the early morning of September 30th, 2143. A very special mont will occur in five minutes.
Shi Hao, an ordinary freshman of University C in Province H, was currently lining up in a ga equipnt store outside the school.
At the mont, a roommate of Shi Hao nad Feng Tianhao was tagging along with him. Feng Tianhaos height was standard, the versatile 185 centiters. His body build was also pretty good, the muscle lines were visible. Everyone could tell from a glance that it was the result of professional training. In contrast, Shi Hao was shorter in height, about 170 centiters. Although he was not fat, he was obviously not as well-built as Feng Tianhao.
Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao imdiately hit it off at their first eting. They beca like brothers just by a month of getting along together.
Little Hao, do you think we could still grab the ga helt when its our turn? A hint of anxiousness could be seen in Shi Haos handso face. If not for the crowd of girls who were also focusing on fighting over the ga helt, they would have probably been chard by Shi Hao.
The ga helt was an essential equipnt to enter the online ga called Kingdom. The first batch of the product will go on sale only on September 30th. Only those who were lucky enough to get the first batch would have the honor to be the first to enter the online ga Kingdom.
Kingdom was the first online ga to have a major breakthrough in the gaming industry. It was a ga of establishing and rewriting history, building territories, and fighting with each other in wars. The flow of ti between the ga and reality was 10:1, aning that ten days in the ga was equal to one day in real ti. Within the ga, there would be so historical figures who will appear as NPC. All of the NPCs had a very high humanoid intelligence.
Moreover, the humanoid intelligence of the NPCs in Kingdom was reaching a record high. Until now, apart from the information that the leaders of several large countriesincluding Country Zbeing involved within the ga, no one knew its true origin. However, this didnt affect the popularity of the ga, because the leaders of the various countries have made it clear that theyll promote the ga at all costs so that everyone could participate in it.
To this end, Country Z with its abundant financial resources specially released the policy to sell the bronze-grade of the first batch of the ga helts by promoting them at a low price. Besides, the governnt had guaranteed to put the players who could achieve outstanding performance inside the ga in an important position within the governnt.
No worries, our position is pretty good. Were only a bit away from the door. Wait a minute, Ill snatch so lines. You should find sowhere empty to squeeze into. said Feng Tianhao.
Eventually, their turn ca.
Everyone is rushing through! Be they male or female, old or young, all of them were swarming around.
What the f***! Feng Tianhaos muscles bulged up, his veins visible. But him doing so didnt actually help them much with the situation.
S***! Shi Hao who stood behind Feng Tianhaos protective back was suddenly being pushed aside without reason and lost his precious position.
Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao finally entered the ga equipnt store after they struggled for a long ti, only to find that it was already completely empty.
Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao returned while feeling disheartened. To make things worse, they ran into a boy behaving with unbearable insolence at the school gate.
The boys na was Wu Batian. Wu Batians family was very rich. His father was the boss of a local public company. His mother was a senior financial consultant of a finance company. Hence, Wu Batian had lived in an excellent environnt since he was young. He was even admitted to a famous university in Province H. Now, Wu Baitian was Shi Haos schoolmate and rival.
Wu Batian liked Shi Haos childhood sweetheart. The goddess na was Su Xiao.
Su Xiao ca from a wealthy family, at least not much different from Wu Batians family circumstances. A few days before the school opening, Su Xiao helped Shi Hao to move his luggage to University C. They happened to run into Wu Batian on their way. Wu Batian fell in love at first sight with Su Xiao. Unfortunately, Su Xiao gave him the cold shoulder. After that, the two had to deal with a lot of questions from Wu Batian. Shi Hao and Su Xiao cant be considered dating, after all. Moreover, Su Xiaos family strongly disapproved of Shi Haos ordinary circumstances. Su Xiaos brother, Su Wu, one to many tis had harshly criticized Shi Hao. He thought of Shi Hao as a hideous toad lusting after a swans flesh.
Oh! You two sure look a lot like stray dogs. Could it be that you cant get even a single ga helt? Wu Batian winked and casted a glance at them, hands holding a shining ga helt. So of his little brothers followed after him from behind. He made all the efforts to ridicule Shi Hao, while also ridiculing Feng Tianhao in passing.
Dont be so full of yourself. When the next batch of the ga helts arrives, well catch up. Shi Hao said disdainfully. He didnt feel like seeing his look of a villain holding sway. What the eye doesnt see, the heart doesnt grieve over.
Haha! Youre such an idiot. How did you even get admitted into University C with that IQ of yours? I dont get why Su Xiao liked a fool like you. Wu Batian burst with laughter, then said, Could a poor wretch like you even afford the price of the ga helt? If it were not for the governnt subsidizing most of the cost to promote the helt, would you even have the qualifications to line up in the store?
What Wu Batian said was right. The price of the cheapest ga helt was tens of millions. The most expensive one was even much more unimaginable. The range of the prices was at least within the amount of 100 million. Such high-grade helts have a price but no sales, because after the helt was brought into the ga, players could enjoy the privileges of high-level VIP. The main advantage was that they could get more starting goodies when they were distributed.
According to the promotion content of Kingdom, an ordinary person bringing a bronze ga helt to the ga would find out that theyll only have the initial funding of 1000 copper coins. On the other hand, the ones with the highest Diamond VIP level would be surprised to find out that other than the initial funding of 1000 copper coins, theyll also get three Diamond Grade lottery tickets.
If they were on a roll, they could draw a lot of incredible treasures from the lottery. If they draw an uncommon weapon by chance, theyll beco unstoppable. Even if luck wasnt on their side, they could at least draw so copper coins, which was certainly enough to make them more powerful than ordinary people.
Furthermore, this kind of special treatnt was very important in the initial stage. Using the advantages, the player would be one step ahead of everyone else, taking the lead in every step.
It was said that the players who could bring a high-level helt into the ga were remarkable ones. At least for soone with such an overweening attitude like Wu Batian only got a not-so-high-grade helt. But Wu Batian regarded this helt as a treasure like his own life.
Idiot. Just keep your eyes on how Su Xiao and I are going to be touchy in the ga! Oh, I certainly wont be forceful. You wont be able to see that kind of thing though, haha! Wu Batian put on the golden ga helt and left with the group of little brothers.
Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao returned to their dormitory. When looked carefully, they noticed that University Cs condition was actually pretty good. The dormitory was ideally a two-person room. Shi Hao slept on the lower bunk, and Feng Tianhao slept on the upper bunk.
Its alright, Little Hao, dont mind him. Feng Tianhao consoled him and said, When the second batch of the ga helt is out, Ill buy two of them. Dont worry, I still have enough money!
Feng Tianhao wasnt bragging, his familys condition was indeed very good. His parents were senior managers of two local companies, it wasnt difficult for them to earn the annual household inco of millions. Feng Tianhao had originally prepared the fund of a million Yuan to buy a silver ga helt. With that silver helt, he might be able to develop and establish his own territory rapidly in the ga.
However, he had no choice but to give up on his plan for Shi Haos sake. Feng Tianhao intended to use the funds to buy two bronze helts instead. He wont get the advantage of getting lottery tickets for the initial stage, but the lottery was nothing compared to his brother. Only by having a brother could one have the whole world. The world where the king stood was also where his brother stood.
But Shi Hao felt deeply moved. He wanted to turn down Feng Tianhaos kindness, but was unable to say it out loud. He cant turn him down at all, because Shi Hao not being able to enter the ga was equal to giving up his beloved Su Xiao to soone else.
A few days ago, Su WuSu Xiaos brothert Shi Hao in secret. Su Wu had clearly told Shi Hao that he wasnt qualified to be the son-in-law of Su Family at all and asked him to leave Su Xiao. Nevertheless, Su Wu loved his sister dearly, so considering Su Xiaos devotion towards Shi Hao, he implied a way out for Shi Hao.
At that ti, Su Wu said, Try playing the online ga Kingdom. If you could join a powerful force in the ga and acquire the position of a core mber, Ill give you and Little Xiao a chance.
His words had been disturbing Shi Haos mind for a long ti, unable to fade away. Shi Hao liked Su Xiao a lot. She wasnt just his girlfriend he had known since childhood, but also a goddess every boy longed for. Shi Hao had long since given Su Xiao the role of his wife. Su Xiao herself had always regarded Shi Hao as her husband, too. What was left for them to overco was Su Wus words.
Su Xiao, Ill definitely succeed, so wait for ! said Shi Hao resolutely.
Thats right! Lets go to the store to keep an eye on the helt again tomorrow. Soone might scalp the helts by then. After all, this batch of bronze ga helts were all sold at a low price. A lot of butter would probably resell things by scalping. Rather than waiting idly for the next batch, itd be better for us to imdiately buy one tomorrow! Buying the helt earlier might close the gap between us and those who got it first. said Feng Tianhao suddenly.
The next morning, Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao went to the doorway of the ga equipnt store again. A great number of veteran butters were playing a waiting ga.
Hey, young lads! Take a look at my bronze ga helt. Ill sell it to you as soon as I get it. Its a fixed price, only 400 thousand Yuan for an item. said a butter uncle.
Feng Tianhao looked at the bronze ga helt carefully and noticed that there wasnt anything unusual about it. He responded, 400 thousand is too expensive. I want 400 thousand for two helts.
Hey, why dont you two just rob? The butter uncle gave them a disdainful look. 400 thousand for two bronze helts, right? Kingdom will officially open the server at 9 PM. Thats just how the market price of the bronze helt right now. If you dont have money to play the ga, dont co out just to fool around. Go away, dont interfere with my business!
Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao tried to stroll around nearby, but the prices being offered to them were mostly the sa.
How about we just use 800 thousand Yuan to buy two helts? We wont use the money for anything else, anyway. As long as we could enter the ga earlier, spending this amount of money wont make us lose anything. said Feng Tianhao, his voice sowhat irritated.
Feng Tianhao had a reason to get angry. The price of a bronze ga helt was only 10000 Yuan after the compensation. Even without compensation, a new bronze helt only costs around 150 thousand Yuan at full price. 300 thousand Yuan should be enough to buy two helts at full price, but it beca 800 thousand Yuan now.
Above all, just a bit more than a million was already enough to grab a silver ga helt! For those who will enter the ga, a silver helt was much more valuable than a normal bronze helt.
No! We wont let that bastard off. Shi Hao was even angrier than Feng Tianhao.
Looking at how these butters trying to pit Feng Tianhao who had paid the helt for him, the Shi Hao who had never accepted defeat cant just leave the matter at that.
Shi Hao stated, Lets go to another place. No one is offering a reasonable price here, but there must be so in another further place!
Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao continued their tough trip. They drove a small luxury car of Feng Tianhaos father and went traveling all over the places around the university town, be they large or small.
Eventually, Shi Hao and Feng Tianhao ran into an uncle who gathered junks.
Uncle, are you selling these helts? Feng Tianhao took a look at the uncle from head to toe. He didnt have anything valuable with him except two dirty helts in his hands. Standing from this distance, Feng Tianhao cant quite see the color of the helts nor its grade clearly.
Yes! As long as you paid enough money, Ill sell them to you. The junk-gatherer uncle replied with a smile. For him who didnt really know the use of these two helts, they were obviously useless. As long as he could get so money for him to eat, drink, and sleep well, it was better than nothing.
Okay, how about 50 thousand Yuan? Give both of the helts and 50 thousand Yuan will be yours. Feng Tianhao took out a wad of bills, then counted it. It was exactly 50 thousand Yuan, just the right amount.
No. I picked these from a garbage can in a laboratory. The security of that laboratory is very tight. Its thanks to being crafty that I could get them, other people wont be able to do so. Therefore, the price had to be 100 thousand Yuan. Give 100 thousand and these helts will be yours.
Alright! Feng Tianhao took out a pile of money. He didnt count the amount again and imdiately handed 50 thousand Yuan over to the uncle, then took the two helts into his hands in passing. Feng Tianhao rubbed the anti-counterfeit label on the helts lightly as he noticed that the label wasnt fake.
Feng Tianhao grinned, then dragged Shi Hao back to the dormitory with him.
However, the junk-gatherer uncle also had a broad grin on his face by this ti. Actually, he stole one of the helts. Last night, he ca across a crowd of dead drunk fellows. He smoothly raked a cyan helt and even overheard them saying that it was worth 10 thousand Yuan. The other helt was indeed gathered from a research laboratory. It was a peculiar one, perhaps it was just junk. He originally thought that hed be able to sell these helts at approximately 20 thousand Yuan at most. Little did he know that a foolish spender would co and gave him 10 thousand Yuan at once. Hence, the junk-gatherer uncle showed a beaming smile all over his face.
