The sky was cloudy and it was raining heavily, and it was blown by the wind and crackled on the windows.

A flash of lightning pierced through the dark clouds and instantly formed a dense glowing spider web. A sound of thunder followed by lightning exploded in people’s ears.

In the bright office, a man was awakened by the explosion of thunder, and he sat up from the large black leather sofa, panting heavily. Like being frightened by thunder or having a nightmare, his face was bloodless, as pale as a dead person. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, but found that he was still wearing a gaming helmet on his head.

The man took off the helmet for a moment, and a strange smile appeared on his face. He stared at the game helmet in his hand, with a trace of greed in his eyes, as if it was not a game helmet, but the business empire he was about to acquire……

It has been raining outside the window for a few days. Since the beginning of summer, it has been raining heavily. After heavy rain, there is a tendency of light rain lingering until autumn.

Song Qingshu frowned slightly listening to the sound of rain hitting the window. He hadn’t seen the sun for a long time, if this continues, there will be a tendency to mold.

Even if his heart was irritable, the hand did not stop for a moment. The cold, white, slender and bony hands were flying rapidly over the keyboard, and the lines of codes on the computer screen in front of him moved up quickly.

Several mobile phones in the office vibrate twice at the same time. You don’t need to look to know that it must be the boss of their company in the WeChat group again.

Song Qingshu glanced at the phone, ignored him, and continued to code.

Sang Yu glanced at the news on his mobile phone, got up from his work station, walked to Song Qingshu, patted his arm excitedly, and said: “Qingshu, don’t code. The boss said that the money for the big order has arrived, and the employees will be rewarded. We will have a collective holiday for a day next Saturday for team building.”

When Song Qingshu heard about the holiday, he picked up his phone, and the message displayed on the screen was sent by the boss three minutes ago, and the content was similar to what Sang Yu said.

Their boss rented hundreds of holographic game helmets from his friends, and the team building on Saturday is carried out in the form of playing games.

The event also set up prizes. The first prize is 10,000 yuan, the second prize is 5,000 yuan, the third prize is 3,000 yuan, and the participation prize is 1,000 yuan.

Song Qingshu looked at the final award setting and said with a smile: “Did the boss drink fake wine? Or did he drink without eating peanuts? The last order earned so much? Why is it so generous?”

A big √ popped up on the panel this time—passed.

Song Qingshu looked at his nickname and the check mark passed by the system, and ten thousand muddy horses galloped past in his heart.

After filling in the real name and ID number and verifying that the player has reached the age of eighteen, a game pass card with Song Qingshu’s profile picture was directly generated.

Clearance Certificate

Nickname: Little Rabbit, be good

Game ID: 2333333

Instructions were written on the back of the card:

Notes: 1. Each person only has one customs clearance certificate. Only after finding the customs clearance certificate in the game level can the next level be carried out. Please keep it safe. Any loss will be at your own risk.

2. This game adopts the point system, and the accumulated points can be exchanged for the Dream come true card prepared by the game company for players.

Note: Dream come true card: Everyone has daydreams, this card can make daydreams come true, this card can only be used once, and will be automatically destroyed after use.

Song Qingshu carefully read instructions twice. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn’t think of anything. After clicking to enter the game, the panel in front of him gradually disappeared, and a white mist appeared in front of his eyes, and the white mist gradually dissipated, and he saw himself standing in front of a school.

The sky was still full of dark clouds, and the cold wind was blowing, as if it would rain heavily at any time.

Song Qingshu only wore a pair of jeans and a white tee when he entered the game, and felt a little cold when the wind blew.

The sign above the school gate was hung with six big characters written on it: Linchuan Private Middle School.
