Chapter 1 Reunion
In the deep and quiet palace, a figure leaned lazily on the throne.
Today is the last day, Li Yuan sighed and said to himself: "Oh, it's already the last day, isn't anyone coming to take a look?"
"Oh, Yuan Yuan hasn't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect you to be there." Another throne appeared in front of Li Yuan out of thin air. On the throne, a group of beauties wearing purple armor said.
Li Yuan was slightly stunned, then a little excited: "Mengmeng, long time no see!"
"Yes, it seems like it's been one year?" Yu Mengmeng also sighed quite emotionally.
"One year and three months." Li Yuan was particularly sensitive to time. He remembered the last time of every friend's online.
"Have you been so long? I've been a little busy and confused recently... The Black Palace is still there, and you still have that number Yukunlong?" Yu Mengmeng asked.
Li Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, after all, this is everyone's hard work."
"I remember you..." Yu Mengmeng suddenly wanted to speak but stopped. Li Yuan understood and smiled faintly: "I made some money through "Shenwu" and maintaining the name Yu Kunlong is nothing."
"Well, thank you for your hard work. I still have some time. I'll go to another place to see you again if you're destined to be there." Yu Mengmeng said.
"Okay, see you again!"
After Yumengmeng left, Li Yuan opened the friend list and found that some friends were online one after another. Today is the day when the "Shenwu" server is out of service. Even old friends who have already retired from the tour will have more or less people to come and have a look. After all, this game can be said to be their youth.
As the first guild of evil ways in the game, Anjie is unique in "Shenwu". At its peak, the guild had the third overall combat power, and Li Yuan ranked first in himself, and was the well-deserved overlord of evil ways!
After chatting with friends who were online at this last moment, Li Yuan silently waited for the ending moment.
"Shenwu" has been operating the server to its end and now it has been closed for eleven years. The story of this is not something that can be explained in just a few words.
Sixteen-year-old Li Yuan entered this bizarre and fantasy martial arts world in order to live, and met a group of like-minded friends and formed the Anjie. The most distinctive player organization in the entire game, the pure villain's position, once became the target of players' attacks.
Those years of passion were the most precious memory of Li Yuan in his life. After years of struggle, he also earned a considerable family business through the game. Since the eighth year of the game, players have begun to lose one after another, and old players in the An Realm have also withdrawn from the game one after another.
In the end, Li Yuan was the only one who was left to support him. Most of the money he earned through "Shenwu" was also invested in maintaining the An Realm.
After all, as the third-ranked force in "Shenwu" at its peak, it was not easy to maintain the expenses of the Ancient Realm. It was fine when there were too many people, but later everyone left, and the expenses fell on Li Yuan.
To be honest, he didn't know why he had to guard the empty place alone, maybe he had too many memories.
He entered the game at the age of sixteen, and compared to others, he had an indescribable attachment to "Shenwu" than others. "Shenwu" is his youth! His dream! Therefore, even if the dream is about to wake up, he still has nostalgia for this world.
"Looking goodbye to the world!" This is the standard ending of his chat with his old friends now.
A good meeting in the world is an agreement, a reluctance, and a helplessness. If everything goes well, why bother to separate? Looking forward to the unpredictable day of meeting again?
It is already a great happiness for Li Yuan to be able to chat with his old friends who were struggling with him at the last moment of the game.
But everyone has the last place to go, and he is the only one who guards the Black Palace.
[System announcement: Dear players, thank you for your company all the way. We look forward to meeting you again... The game will be officially closed in one minute. Please prepare in advance.]
Li Yuan sighed slightly, took out a wine pot from his bag at any time, and whispered: "Wrinkle the sleeves and the wind and clouds are full of passion, why not fear the vicissitudes of life and death? Smile and look at the world of the world, and abandon the vastness of life and death. The sudden rain urges flowers to fill the ground, and the red leaves are still fragrant after sunny. Who can understand the meaning of the two words of Jianghu? I can cook wine warmly and taste it. Ha, goodbye, my youth..."
There is no banquet that never ends. This feast in the world has actually ended long ago, but I just can't bear to leave.
"I'm going to start a new life tomorrow. Should I find a job or go on a trip first? Well... I feel like I haven't gone out for a long time, so it's okay to go for a walk... Huh? Have you delayed closing?" Li Yuan was thinking about tomorrow's plan, but found that the game was not closed as scheduled.
He is still in the Black Palace, and the surroundings are as peaceful as before.
"Where is the operation panel?" Li Yuan suddenly found that the game's control panel was gone. Not only that, but also the game perspective disappeared.
Although it is a virtual real-life game, the viewing interface is indispensable for game elements, but these things suddenly disappear.
The game cannot be quit? Are you trapped in the game world? Is it so bloody? Li Yuan was a little worried that the reason why "Shenwu" went downhill and even shut down the server today is that it is a big part of the reason why it is not fixed, and the bug that cannot be fixed!
Unlike the settings in general online game novels, the world of "Shenwu" controlled by the intelligent brain not only has bugs, but also irreparable bugs! The root cause of the problem lies in the independence of NPC personality. After the application of this irreversible technology, it was still acceptable in the early stage, but within a few years, the smart NPC suppressed the player's game space.
In addition to the top-ranking large forces or super scattered people, ordinary players can't continue playing. The game official can't suppress this situation, so players will inevitably lose a lot.
Although the An Realm was not suppressed by the NPC forces on the surface, it could not resist the general trend and fell into decline. The core members gradually retreated one after another, leaving only Li Yuan to stick to it, relying on their own to maintain the operation of the entire An Realm.
Persisting until the last moment can be considered a perfect merit.
only……
The game failed to close the server on time and could not exit the game. Could it be that the NPCs counterattack? Is NPC intelligence so high?
Li Yuan was puzzled. After pondering for a moment, he turned into a ray of light and shadow and left the Black Palace.
...
"Wait, this feeling..." Li Yuan noticed some changes in his body as soon as he got outside.
He spread his right palm with suspicion, and gently stroked his left hand with a sword finger to break a hole. Suddenly, purple-black blood splattered out, scaring Li Yuan!
But the next moment, the demon body ran on its own and the wound was repaired in an instant. But the extremely real touch made him unbelievable... What's going on?
When I looked up, I saw that the galaxy was vast and the aurora was dazzling. It was not the game world he was familiar with, nor the reality that was covered by haze.
"Your Making the Demon Emperor, the ancient tree of Demons seems to have a strange shape." At this time, a low male voice rang beside him.
Li Yuan looked sideways and saw a ball of black gas quickly condensed into a burly body wearing black and gold armor and with a blood-colored strange pattern on his face.
"Zheng Xuanniu?" Li Yuan was slightly stunned. Ninety percent of NPCs in the Ancient Realm are not smart NPCs! Otherwise, it would be impossible to be unaffected in the wave of NPC intelligence.
