The Story Behind Online Games: Deep Sword Love

Introduction to the work In 2020, the epidemic locked down the city. Thirty-two-year-old Shen Yuan was trapped in a rental house when he accidentally saw a game notification - the 20th anniversary celebration of "The Legend of the Sword". He was stunned for a moment. He played this game ten years ago. At that time, he was a sophomore in college. He, his roommates, Lao Ma and Fatty, skipped class and went to Internet cafes to play dungeons as a team. His Taoist priest "Jian Dan Qin Xin" is famous all over the world. They said they would open a studio together and travel to the ends of the world with their swords. Later, after graduation, we went our separate ways. That game has never been opened again. He logged into his old account. In the friend list, "Lao Ma Shi Tu" has been offline for 2803 days, and "Fat Man Loves Meat" has been offline for 2756 days. He stood in Tianjing City for five minutes and then logged off silently. It's not that I don't want to play, it's just that I'm too lonely. But there is a line of small words at the bottom of the announcement: Sentimental Server·Looking Back Again—Restore the classic version, and all players will start from scratch. The next day, Shen Yuan created a new account called "Lao Shen is here". What he didn't know was that Lao Ma and Fatty also made the same decision in their respective cities. Three middle-aged men in their thirties logged into the same server at the same time in three different cities. The old horse is a warrior "The old horse is here too", the fat man is an archer "The fat man has lost weight". Three people wearing coarse cloth stood in Novice Village, looking at each other, and then burst into laughter. In the days that followed, the anxiety of the lockdown and the fatigue of life were slowly dissipated in this game. They kill monsters, save money, and learn skills just like they did ten years ago. They re-established a gang called "Start Again".
