Give me the first charge [hologram]

Chapter 1

A group of flying birds startled in the sky above the boundless forest sea.

The figure of the hunter quickly shuttles through the jungle, keenly judges the position of the prey, takes the arrow with his backhand, and draws the bow to the full.

The footsteps became more and more urgent.Facing the roar, he nimbly climbed up the nearest big tree, hid behind the branches and leaves and shot three combos neatly.

【Hit 3/100】

The roar turned into a mournful howl.The monster was provoked, frenziedly waving its limbs, wandering in the jungle, stomping and destroying wantonly.

Birds and beasts fled, trees fell, and the earth trembled.The young hunter has come to the final hunting ground.

He jumped down from the crumbling tree, flexibly circled around the terrain he had figured out in advance, chose a suitable bunker to protect himself, and judged the timing to shoot arrows continuously.

【Hit 6/100】

【Hit 9/100】

【Hit 99/100】

The monster's wailing gradually weakened, and the invisible enemy pushed it to the edge of survival.

Fresh loot is at your fingertips.The hunter, with his sweat-soaked silver hair pressed against his forehead, took out the last arrow without distraction.The moment the fingertip touched the arrow feather, a light gray light suddenly jumped in front of his eyes.

[Safe Word①: freak!]

The movement stagnated in mid-air, and he withdrew his hand helplessly, then took off the mask on his face.

[Exiting the game. 】

The countdown was completed in three seconds, and the vast jungle and huge monsters disappeared.

After a brief dizziness, there was a pure white ceiling in front of him.What filled my ears was a calm call, from outside the door, over and over again, "Xiao Li?"

Bai Li regained his composure, took off his game helmet and got out of bed to open the door.

The woman standing at the door is wearing a white nightdress. The embroidered lace cuffs in the deep family are intricate and delicate, like a noble girl who was hidden in the deep family courtyard in the medieval court.

Seeing the door open, she smiled and held out her hand, "Little Li, here it is."

She held a glass of just warmed milk in her hands.Compared with the transparent glass, her hands are delicate and smooth, even whiter.

Bai Li only glanced at it before looking away, took the hot milk as usual, and poured it down with his head up.

"I haven't slept yet, are you playing a game?"

She watched him drink the milk, her voice was soft and melodious like a girl's.Noticing that the sensor behind his ear was still on, he urged him softly, "Go to bed after drinking, and go back to school tomorrow. Don't be too tired."

Bai Li listened to her quietly, and when he swallowed the last sip of milk, there was a gleam in his eyes.Just as I was about to speak, I heard another sentence added, "Don't play for a long time, Dad will be upset if he finds out."

The light in his eyes went out.Handing the cup back, his tone was stiff, "I see."

"good."

With a satisfied expression on her face, she stood on tiptoe and approached.

Bai Li tilted his head away from her kiss and whispered, "Good night."

Taking a step back and closing the door, he turned and walked quickly into the bathroom without hesitation.After a while, I came out and lay back on the bed, and logged into the game again.

[Do you want to return to the nearest save point? 】

After confirmation, the game jumps to where he left off.He was only short of the final blow, and the moment he released the arrow, he heard the game system's full-area notification sound.

[Room 0238 first pass completed: first pass player Wen Jiu, first pass reward**** (hidden). 】

somewhat affected.The aim of this arrow was not good, it did not cause any damage to the monster, but exposed his position instead.

Bai Li pursed his lips, decisively abandoning the current hiding place.After stabilizing his mind and struggling for another 2 minutes, he finally succeeded in making up the last arrow.

The huge monster crashed to the ground, turned into countless tiny rays of light floating in the air, condensed into cards and flew towards him, flying slowly around his body.

He jumped down from the tree and took a random card with a lack of interest.At the same time, the second announcement sounded in District 11.

[Room 0238 clearance completed: Clearance player Baili, clearance reward **** (hidden). 】

Baili ignored it, and clicked on the clearance reward to view it.

It is a lock.The attribute is unknown, only a line of small characters at the bottom of the information bar.

[Can be taken out of the current room. 】

Other than that there is no introduction.How to use it, whether it can be eaten, is not mentioned at all.Baili stared at it for a few seconds before giving up exploring, turned around and walked towards the edge of the forest, and glanced at the countdown timer in the lower right corner of the game.

There are more than two hours, enough to fall asleep.He walked through the bushes and walked to an open grassland, untied the quiver on his back and threw it aside, and found a random place to lie down.

The sky is vast, the sun is covered by clouds, and the birds are chirping in the distant forest.The green grass is tender and dense, and it feels soft to the touch when laid on the bottom of the body, which is unbelievably real.

Bai Li took out the mask from his backpack and covered his face with his hands to block the light.Turn off the communicator, close your eyes, and gradually fall asleep.

**

The luggage has been sent to the school in advance.Waking up the next morning, Baili took out two changes of clothes from the closet and stuffed them into the backpack together with the toiletries, picked up the game helmet and walked out of the house alone.

It was very quiet when he left.Knowing that no one will come to deliver it, there is no need to report it.

Go downstairs and walk through the corridor, and you can see the conservatory in the corner of the courtyard.It's not very big, and the rose varieties cultivated in it are of good quality, with huge and beautiful flowers, which bloom all year round.

Sometimes he would go in and watch for a while.But today the train back to school is about to leave, so I can only bury my head and rush out.

Lunch is replaced with mineral water.The young people sitting next to him saw the bag he had placed on the shelf, and chatted up excitedly, "Little brother, you also play floating. Which game do you play?"

The bags issued by the game company to hold the helmets are printed with eye-catching logos.The metal black triangle is hollowed out, and the line below it is the four words "floating game".

"Yes." Bai Li replied politely, "I play Dawn."

Seeing that he put on the earphones after being interrupted, the young man sitting next to him wisely didn't disturb him any more.

In the past few days, I stayed up too many nights to get through the room 0238, and I couldn't get enough sleep with just one sleep.Bai Li leaned against the car window, listening to the birdsong and the sound of the stream in the forest from the earphones, relaxed his mind, and soon fell asleep again.

When the train arrived at the station a few hours later, he was awakened by the alarm clock set in advance on his watch.After taking off the earphones, I couldn't calm down in time, and got off the bus with the crowd in a daze, and got on the subway in the opposite direction to the school.

During the winter vacation, the school dormitory was closed, and it has not yet opened.I contacted the boss last week, and he can go to the part-time shop to stay for two days.

After leaving the subway station, I was still dizzy.In the early spring, he put on his coat, pulled up the hood of his long-sleeved sweater to cover his head, and walked along the street with his head bowed.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the familiar black signboard, and without thinking too much, he stepped forward and opened the store door.

In the next second, his face was blurred by the surprised eyes that rushed to his face.

Rows of shelves are lined with various toys and baby products, and the tape players in the store are playing early education songs.

The immature and clear children's voices sang cheerfully to the beat of the drum: "What is the name of Daddy's father, what is the name of Daddy's father, grandpa. What is the name of Daddy's mother..."

"..."

"excuse me."

Burry said.

After resolutely exiting the store, he finally raised his head and looked carefully at the signboard.

Love you baby - quality life museum for mothers and babies.

Across the wall from this maternity and baby products store is his part-time shop.After just 20 days of summer vacation, the original black and white cafe signboard has been replaced by pink and white.

Baili stood at the door of the store, seriously considering whether to go in.

"Why don't you come in?"

At the end of the holiday, Meng Lian came to the store early to clean up.Seeing him through the transparent window, he opened the door and greeted him with a smile, "You look silly. The store has been redecorated to attract little girls."

"Boss Cui said that we need to accurately position customers and match them to their liking."

He winked at Baili, "If you pretend to be like this, the little girls who come to see you will definitely like it."

Having been together for half a year, the relationship between the two is fairly harmonious.Bai Li could hear his teasing tone, and without further ado, he walked in with his bag, "Happy New Year."

"Hey, happy new year."

The store has really been refreshed.The color blocks of pink, white and gray are used in a large area, and there are hydroponic plants and star lights hanging above the head. How can a girl's heart come.

It's not his shop anyway, as long as the wages are paid as usual, he doesn't care how much he wants to do.Bai Li didn't comment on this, and went straight to the bar and sat down, put the game helmet on the high stool next to him, and couldn't help yawning.

"Stay up late and play games? I saw you on the district bulletin."

There was a small ceramic pot on the induction cooker on the bar counter, emitting a steaming aroma.After Meng Lian returned to the bar, he gave him a thumbs up, "Awesome."

Bai Li nodded: "Thank you."

"Tsk, Shengfen."

Meng Lian fished the cooked pasta into a plate, mixed it with meat sauce and pushed it to him, "It will be open tomorrow, and the little ancestors haven't come back yet, and the ingredients are not all in place. Let's make do with it, let's fill our stomach first."

Bai Li took off his coat and put it on the high stool next to him, took it and said thank you, looked around and asked, "Where's Boss Cui?"

"not yet."

Meng Lian poured a glass of lemonade and put it by his hand, "Pick up the cat."

Meng Lian is a native of Ming City. He is a junior at Dongcheng University two subway stops away. When he is not in class, he works part-time in a coffee shop to earn some pocket money.

This store is close to the subway station and school, and the location itself is good.But as a cat cafe, it still relies on the group of small ancestors to attract customers.It wasn't until half a year ago that Baili came to work part-time that the task of attracting customers began to be diverted to him.

After passing this episode, the topic of the two still circled back to the game.

"I stayed all night last night too. The last part of the plot, the save point was too far away. I was teleported back to the town, and I didn't let the automatic pathfinding function work. I ran dizzy in the woods and found a monster. It takes a long time."

Meng Lian said, "Spicy chicken Shuguang, bullying our old people who have a bad sense of direction."

Bai Li took a sip of lemonade, cleared his throat to justify himself, "I have a good sense of direction."

Meng Lian rolled his eyes, "Understood, you are underage."

The large-scale reality simulation game "Dawn" developed by Fuji Game Company was officially launched three years ago, and Bai Li and Meng Lian are both players in it.

In Dawn, each room is a separate game world.Different era backgrounds, different story settings, the same only main task - escape, making it more like a collection of escape games.

Players can judge whether to press the doorbell according to their preferences by reading the introduction on the door of each room-entering the game.So far, more than 30 rooms have been opened in "Dawn", basically maintaining the high-speed online efficiency of updating once a month.

In addition to the excellent production, the stories have different styles and types, and almost all players who prefer various plot types are caught up. The ambition of the production team is evident.

"This time your clearance time is only 2 minutes behind Wen Jiu's."

Across the bar, Meng Lian sighed, "What a pity."

After each room goes online, the top three players who clear the level will have a higher multiplier item reward drop, and will be nominated in the district announcement.Especially the reward for the first pass is very attractive.

A few days ago, room 0238 went online, and he was stuck in a click-through game, racing against time to get to the top three.As a result, he died on the last boss last night, and the top three didn't get in, so depressed.

Bai Li didn't say a word, and continued to eat noodles with his head down.

"Look, it's not the first day we met, right? Teach me how to fight the last monster?"

Meng Lian is tall and burly.At this moment, he shrank and got closer, not to mention the awkward posture, his small eyes narrowed, and he smiled a little wretchedly, "Master Baili, let me get to the bottom of it."

Bai Li quietly guarded the plate and pulled it away from him.

"How did you die?"

"Finally there is archery. I'm not good at using bows and arrows. I can only support the bow fifty times when I run back and forth, and I was killed by it just after half of my blood was knocked out."

"Fifty times... that's enough."

Bai Li reminded, "You can take a bow once and shoot two arrows."

"Fuck, can I still do this?"

Meng Lian was stunned, "Can it be done? The rules of the game don't say it can be done like this?"

After speaking, he reacted on his own.

I didn't say yes, but I didn't say no.

He was overjoyed, and stretched out his hand to rub the top of Baili's head through the hood of the sweater, "How can you turn your head around, you are indeed a brilliant student in the physics department."

"It's just by chance... of, of."

He was in a hurry, he choked on himself, and then he finished it intermittently, "...Yes, I found it."

I accidentally took two arrows when I took them out, and I didn't bother to put them back and used them together.Unexpectedly, by accident, they found a shortcut to improve hunting efficiency.

Meng Lian knew that he had a language barrier and couldn't say too many words in a sentence, so he waved his hands naturally and said, "Don't worry, speak slowly."

Bailey didn't want to explain any more.His expression was a little uncomfortable, he lowered his head and ended the topic briefly, "I tried it, and it works."

Meng Lian wanted to ask again, but when he heard the wind chime at the door, Cui Shijin pushed the door open, "What are you talking about?"

The boss came late, so he immediately repeated Baili's words.

"You heard him say it is quite simple, go back and try it yourself and you will know the depth."

The heating was turned on in the store, and Cui Shijin took off his long trench coat as soon as he entered.Meng Lian dog-leggedly ran over from behind the counter to help him hang it up. Thinking about it, it made sense, "That's right, I can't shoot even a single arrow." Shooting multiple arrows in succession must be more demanding on the skill of angle and force. .

After Bai Li finished eating the noodles, he picked up the plate and said hello, "Boss Cui, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

Cui Shijin threw the key to him, "If you are bored at night, just clean this place again, and the door will open at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

"Are you staying in the store tonight?"

Meng Lian took the plate from his hand and rinsed it, "Your school's dormitory building hasn't been opened yet."

"Well, it will open the day after tomorrow."

Bai Li looked at him, and then consciously went to find a job, "I'll clean up, sanitation."

"Call people back to work so early?"

Meng Lian and Cui Shijin have known each other for a longer time, and they are still cousins, so they spoke more casually, "It's fine to squeeze me. My little brother hasn't started school yet, Boss Cui, do you have any humanity?" "

"He came willingly. I don't pay your salary or what?"

Cui Shijin leaned in front of the bar, his peach eyes slightly raised, looked at Bai Li who was not far away, who lowered his head and wiped the table, and blew a beautiful whistle, "Besides, on the first day of business after the renovation, how can we do without him?" .”

"This is the living sign of our store."

The author has something to say:

Bai. Living signboard. Li: Please exchange the real signboard with the maternity store next door.
