Elf: Sailing since being taken in by New Leaf Cat

Chapter 17 TERA connecting the world’s networks
Qiu Qing looked around, and the entire world seemed like a deep blue ocean. Many irregular high-rise buildings and some buildings whose prototypes could no longer be seen were quietly drifting in this "deep ocean of data."

These buildings are all composed of blue squares. If you look closely, you will find that there are also some special facilities such as viaducts and Ferris wheels mixed in, placed everywhere irregularly.

Overall, it's unclear whether this is a very large developed city or a city garbage disposal center. It's messy to the naked eye.

And from time to time there are mosaic-like things flashing across the sky, like program garbled code, which makes people feel very unsafe, and their ship is parked above this city at the moment...

Qiu Qing looked back with some dizziness and left the edge of the guardrail. The bottom of the city was bottomless. No matter how he looked at it, there was only a deep blue. This inexplicably made him suffer from deep sea phobia.

"It's actually flying in the sky...and this place has such a strong sense of future technology!"

In the past, he would only think that such a setting could only appear in science fiction stories, but now after time travel, his ability to accept various things has improved a lot. After a little relaxation, he accepted the setting.

But he can accept it, but Xinye Miao's three views are shattered. Maomao has no idea that such a world exists. Is this the Internet?Damn it, Maomao has really become a primitive cat and is completely out of step with the times.

Bu Bo still hugged Qiu Qing's legs tightly, obviously frightened by the thunder just now. Now the traces left by the other party's flash in the air are still flickering there, but they are slowly recovering.

Qiu Qing picked it up, looked up, and asked, "That purple thunder and lightning I just saw, what kind of Pokémon should it be?"

"Meow……"

Xinye Miao came back to his senses and nodded. He was sure that it was definitely a Pokémon, but it couldn't confirm the identity. But isn't this an online virtual world?Although I don’t understand, it’s all fake, right?

This is what Maomao is most confused about now, because everything here is too real...and if all of this is fake, then if you stay here for a long time, you will definitely not be able to distinguish between reality and illusion, and everyone will be addicted to the Internet. In the end Become waste.

Even though she didn’t understand this at all, Xinye Miao was the first to notice this serious problem, and its negative impact on young people is immeasurable...

Qiu Qing comforted the cloth, and when she was about to take out her cell phone Rotom to see if there was anything she could take a picture with, a window with a colorful frame suddenly popped up in front of her, a bit like a two-spined salamander.

Then an AI female voice sounded, and text began to appear in the window...

“Welcome to the paradise of cyberspace [TERA]. This is a new generation digital platform that provides a variety of advanced services in the virtual world, from shopping to entertainment activities such as watching movies and Pokémon battles... to corporate interactions. business transactions and handle various administrative procedures!”

"Is it that advanced?"

Qiu Qing's first consideration was not its sudden appearance, but these functions. They said they were entering the virtual world, but were they actually surfing the Internet?

However, the AI ​​female voice did not respond to these, but continued on the window: "Currently you have a guest account, which is only allowed to be active in public channels, and all other services are prohibited. Please register or log in to your account first. After successful registration, you can enter next time TERA will automatically log in to the account. Note: You can only have one account, and it is bound for life and cannot be canceled!"

"This... is a bit of a trap."

Qiu Qing is very proficient in the Internet. He is the only one who cheats others on the Internet, and no one else cheats him. Therefore, he has also provoked many players...

Moreover, on the new window that pops up for you to register an account, you are not even asked to check the most basic user service agreement. Although not many people will look at this thing, it is still too suspicious.

Just when he was hesitating, he suddenly found that Bu Bo and Xin Ye Miao were motionless. There was nothing in front of them, but they seemed to be looking at something, with expressions that were both confused and curious.

"Could it be..."

Qiu Qing suddenly thought that this Pokémon could also be logged in, so she quickly shouted: "Wait, don't register an account yet, wait for me first..."

"Meow?"

"Pamo?"

Xinye Miao and Bu Bo looked at it at the same time. Qiu Qing looked at their outstretched hands and seemed to have clicked on them and successfully registered an account.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward. After Xinye Miao reacted, she covered her ears and kept shaking her head. Only then did she realize that she seemed to have been trapped by the AI, which made Qiu Qing have to hold her forehead and shake her head.

"Cats can also be irritable..."

"Meow..." Maomao didn't understand this thing at all. Just like those students with high academic qualifications who were still defrauded by the Internet, they followed the process described by the AI ​​and clicked on the window a few times, but they were fooled into it unexpectedly.

"Oh...forget it!"

Qiu Qing shook her head. Since everyone had clicked, even though this TERA was very suspicious, she still reached out and clicked on the registration window. There was not much process, and it was over in an instant. On the new window that appeared next, let him Confirm nickname.

"The nickname... is also the online name. I don't know if it can be changed. It would be a joke if I picked a random name and couldn't change it."

In terms of naming, Qiu Qing was very cautious, then looked at Xinye Miao and asked: "What does Maomao think of me giving a nickname after Maomao?"

"..."

"Is that a cat or a fox?"

"Meow……"

Xinye Miao screamed in disgust. This name is too unpleasant. Can't it be more normal?

Qiu Qing thought for a moment and nodded: "Then let's call it Joker! I have always used this online name before. Although it sounds cheap, the trump card is still the clown. You will know after taking it out for a walk."

"Meow?"

"If you win, you are the ace, if you lose, you are the clown. If you don't want to be a clown, you have to keep winning!"

"..."

Listening to his explanation, Xinye Miao felt pretty good, but Qiu Qing immediately looked over and asked: "What about the cat's name? How about Mona? It feels like it matches Joker, in every sense of the word."

"..."

"Don't you like it? What about Mio?"

"Meow……"

"Uh... Meow? Meow Paz? In fact, it's okay to call him Tom!"

"..."

Xinye Miao suddenly didn't want to pay attention to him. She always felt that Qiu Qing had become more relaxed than before after coming here. However, Maomao suddenly discovered that it seemed that she could not take a name on this window.

And after asking Bu Bo, the other party was the same, all default names. For example, Xin Ye Miao can only use Xin Ye Miao...

After learning about this incident, Qiu Qing was a little unhappy. Why were Pokémon inferior to others? Was there Pokémon discrimination in this cyberspace?
After a moment, they finally completed registration, and the AI's voice sounded again: "Registration successful, welcome to [TERA]. If you have any questions, you can find out in the lobby near the public channel. Please enjoy the most cutting-edge cyberspace." Serve!”

After the words fell, the window disappeared immediately. Qiu Qing raised her hands and froze on the spot, then shouted: "Where is the public channel! I am in the garbage dump now!"

He didn't expect that the novice tutorial would disappear immediately. Based on what he said just now, it can be inferred that most people who enter here should appear in the public channel.

And they hacked in and took an illegal channel, which caused the novice tutorial card to disappear unless they could find a way to go to the public channel.

"There's nothing I can do... No, it's better to say that breaking the rules like this is what suits me best!"

Qiu Qing, who was still complaining just now, lowered her head slightly at this moment, suddenly made a movement of pushing the frame of the mirror, raised her eyes and looked forward, with a smile on her face.

"You have to take risks in the real world, and you have to take risks in the virtual world. Only in this way can we be called healthy!"
