Everything was finally coming to an end?

At this moment, Lin Chen's eyes beheld the entire dilapidated city.

All sorts of buildings, completely crushed and collapsed.

Countless people, like ants, were having their lives reaped en masse by that monster, over a hundred meters tall.

Right now, his mind was like a slide show...

He knew he was going to die soon!

Like everyone else, he would fall under the monster's merciless trampling!

Lin Chen, at this moment, was filled with regret...

He knew the name of this monster.

Not just him, many people knew.

Dark Dragon!

This was an level 80 Boss in the wildly popular virtual reality game that swept across Blue Star, "New World"!

Half a month ago, the "New World" online game, announced the server shutdown.

And so, many people collapsed.

The entire internet wailed!

After all, this was a full-sensory simulation virtual reality game that had been running for twenty years!

It could be said to be the memories and youth of two generations.

And this game had more than a billion players across Blue Star!

So people frantically sold off equipment and gold coins.

Everyone had only one thought: get back their money!

More extreme players even deleted their accounts in anger!

Lin Chen was one of them.

Before the game servers shut down, he sold all his equipment, materials, and gold coins at a low price.

After all, he still had to live.

But who could have imagined that when "New World" officially shut down, everything changed...

First, Blue Star's terrain changed drastically and expanded.

A crimson blood moon hung high in the sky.

Then, one by one, the Bosses from the "New World" game actually invaded reality.

They regarded human life as worthless and wreaked havoc everywhere.

The entire world was like a purgatory!

Not far from Lin Chen at this moment, a person wearing game attire was constantly vomiting blood.

This was also a "New World" player.

Unlike Lin Chen, this person had not deleted his account, nor had he sold his equipment.

Therefore, he inherited his abilities from the game.

But this person didn't seem to be a very high level.

"I only have an 80 rating, so I only inherited 80% of my strength, and my level dropped from 80 to 64. I can't handle this at all... I'm out of here! Good luck to you guys!"

That person complained and then directly summoned his mount and ran.

The game invaded reality, so…

Players could also inherit abilities!

What if Lin Chen hadn't sold his account?

Lin Chen was filled with regret.

In his mind, he couldn't help but think of his account.

And…

Some of the comrades he knew in the game.

Bang!

Suddenly, a violent explosion came.

Lin Chen flew backward.

Blood splattered everywhere.

His lower body was nowhere to be found…

His entire consciousness seemed to be entering its final moments.

It had come to this.

There was no use in regretting it now.

In his dying moments, Lin Chen used his last remaining consciousness to dial a phone number.

Soon, an anxious voice came from the phone.

"Lin Chen, where are you? Hang in there, hide! I'll come and save you right away!"

"Goodbye... Mengyao!"

Lin Chen slowly closed his eyes.

His world began to fall into silence…

He didn't know how much time had passed.

Lin Chen opened his eyes.

But he heard a voice in his ear: "What do you mean goodbye? Don't talk nonsense! It's just that 'New World' is shutting down, we can just go play another game! Besides, there's still half a month left to play this game!"

Liu Mengyao?

Lin Chen, at this moment, had an expression of disbelief.

How could he still hear voices after dying?

This was indeed… Liu Mengyao's voice!

He was very familiar with it.

Liu Mengyao and he were teammates in the "New World" game.

Of course, the two also had another layer of relationship...

A couple in the game!

But none of that was important, what was important was…

What was going on right now?

Why would Liu Mengyao say that there were still half a months before "New World" shut down?

Lin Chen subconsciously looked at the date on his phone...

2150.

April 13th!

Boom!

Lin Chen suddenly exploded.

What was going on?

Could it be that all those scenes of the game invading reality in his mind were just a dream?

But those scenes were so real.

He even remembered this phone call with Liu Mengyao!

He remembered that he was about to tell Liu Mengyao that he was going to sell his account.

And Liu Mengyao's response was...

Lin Chen decided to try it out, he said to the phone: "But, without this game, there probably won't be any connection between you and me... I, I'm going to sell my account, what about you?"

"Ah? Not me!"

Liu Mengyao's voice rang out from the phone: "Why sell it? You can't sell it for much money now! Besides, I have a lot of memories in it, I plan to play until the last second before the servers shut down."

As expected, Liu Mengyao's answer was still the same...

Lin Chen already had these two people's conversation memorized in his mind.

That meant...

Lin Chen wasn't dreaming!

He must have... been reborn!

He had returned to the time when the game hadn't shut down yet!

Moreover, his account hadn't been sold.

All of his equipment was still there!

At this moment, Lin Chen's heart was extremely excited.

However, Liu Mengyao's voice came from the phone: "Hey... why aren't you talking? You don't... really want to sell your account, do you?"

It could be heard that the disappointment in Liu Mengyao's voice couldn't be concealed.

She and Lin Chen had met in the game.

And for Liu Mengyao, this game was more than just a game.

It was also a beautiful memory for her.

And Lin Chen was a part of this memory.

Now that she heard Lin Chen say that he was going to sell his account and wouldn't accompany her to the end, she was naturally disappointed.

In Lin Chen's memory before rebirth, Liu Mengyao was indeed disappointed because of this, but after the game invaded reality, Liu Mengyao, who inherited the abilities from the game, still said that she would come and find him as soon as possible...

At the thought of this, Lin Chen smiled and responded: "I was joking, after all, 'New World' isn't just your memories, it's also my memories, it's also my youth! Don't worry, I won't sell my account, and I'll fight alongside you to the end, playing until the last moment! Moreover, this time, I'm going to take you through all the dungeons we haven't cleared and all the game scenes we haven't been to!"

"Really? Then it's settled! I'm going to sleep first, you should go to bed early too, take me tomorrow!"

Liu Mengyao's voice came.

"Yeah!"

Lin Chen nodded heavily.

He was reborn.

This feeling was really good!

Lin Chen, who hung up the phone, didn't go to sleep immediately, but logged into the game forum.

[More than ten years of youth, and they shut down the servers just like that? New World is really inhumane!]

[Selling gold cheap, selling accounts, pictures included, just give me a price and I'll sell! By the way, I'll curse: the higher-ups and planners of New World are all idiots!]

[My mentality is broken, I'm starting a thread to live-stream melting equipment, what's the point of playing for half a month? If you want to quit, just quit now!]

[...]

The entire forum was almost filled with posts like the ones above.

Lin Chen could very much understand the current mood of these players.

As a virtual reality game of the century, "New World" really carried too much.

It was even the youth of a generation!

As a result, they were shutting it down just like that...

Thinking back to the past, Lin Chen also posted curses at New World and sold his account like many other people, Lin Chen couldn't help but smile wryly, now that he was reborn, knew why "New World" was shutting down, his mentality was naturally different.

What Lin Chen had now was only relief.

In a very good mood, Lin Chen thought for a while and decided to try to persuade others.

Even if he persuaded one or two people to keep their accounts, when the game invaded reality in the future, humanity would have more strength to resist, wouldn't they?

So Lin Chen posted a thread.

[To be honest, I don't believe that a company as big as "New World," which has been running for twenty years, would shut down the servers, I suggest that everyone don't believe it either, it might be encountering some technical problems, maybe these technical problems can be overcome in half a month, and the servers can be reopened!]

Lin Chen's intentions were good.

However, the players' mentality was really too broken right now.

Not only did his post not get anyone's support, but in less than ten minutes, it was pelted with more than 100,000 rotten eggs, and there were even all kinds of curses below...

"This dog楼主 (Lóuzhǔ - OP) is a businessman, trying to protect the market to avoid bankruptcy?"

"Hehe, there's already more than one businessman account, I suggest everyone not to panic and delete their accounts, now there's another one?"

"What bullshit technical problems, in twenty years, has "New World" ever had any problems?"

"Let me say something, accounts are indeed everyone's hard work, but why leave your hard work to the higher-ups and dog planners of "New World" to destroy?"

"..."

Lin Chen, who was sprayed hard, was very speechless.

Alright!

His good intentions were taken as malicious intentions.

Then he wouldn't bother to empathize with these people, Lin Chen began to pay attention to the trading posts on the forum.

[Selling it off, 100 million gold coins = 100,000, get it quick!]

[10 million gold coins, selling it all for 10,000, don't miss it if you pass by!]

[Wind Chasing Divine Deer, rare mount, selling it for 300...]

[...]

Good heavens, he didn't expect the prices in the game to have fallen so fast!

You had to know, as a virtual reality game of the century, the gold coins in "New World" had always been linked to reality at a ratio of one to one.

But what about now?

100 million gold coins, only cost 100,000!

Falling from one to one, to one thousand to one!

It was estimated that it would continue to fall!

In addition, Lin Chen remembered that the Wind Chasing Divine Deer mount seemed to be an exclusive rare mount for priests, and it wasn't cheap, it used to cost tens of thousands for one, but now it was selling for 300?

Buy!

He had to buy it!

However, there was no need to rush now.

Lin Chen knew that the prices would continue to fall later.

Especially when the official announcement of the "New World" server shutdown and the last expansion pack were released tomorrow, which would completely nail down the news that "New World" was going to shut down, there would be another sharp drop!

That's when Lin Chen would be able to buy at the bottom.

Besides, Lin Chen didn't have too much money in his hands right now.

His parents were gone, and he was still in college, he didn't have a job yet, and he was still using the pension money left by his parents for food and expenses, the only thing that was most valuable was the house left to him by his family...

Lin Chen continued to browse the posts, and then his eyes lit up.

[法神之飓风神杖 (Fǎ shén zhī jùfēng shénzhàng - Hurricane Divine Staff of the God of Magic) +12, max-level artifact, the only one on the server, selling it for 600,000!]

Good heavens!

This was a full set of equipment for a max-level God of Magic, and someone was selling it?

Moreover, it was +12!

The profession Lin Chen played was also a mage.

He seemed to want to buy it.

But…

600,000?

Too expensive!

He couldn't afford it!

"Damn it, what am I thinking?"

Lin Chen gritted his teeth and slammed the table angrily: "I'll sell the house tomorrow, anyway, the game is invading reality, it's going to be the end of the world!"
