Chapter 100: Entering City Zero
Chapter 100 [Entering City Zero]
"This is ......"
It is a circular plaza with a passage on the front and back, on the left and right, but this passage is a metal bridge.
In other words, this square is like an island surrounded by a river.
The square is not very large, about the size of a school playground.
Chen Xiaolian looked around, and was a little surprised to find that there were other people in the square, and occasionally a green light appeared, and after the pillar of light disappeared, a person walked out, and as soon as he recognized the direction, he did not hesitate to choose a direction of the bridge and walked over.
Occasionally, some people saw Chen Xiaolian looking at himself, and most of his demeanor was very indifferent, and even a little disdainful.
Probably because his curious eyes revealed the identity of the rookie.
The companions around me are all there, and no one is missing. The tire had already walked in front of Chen Xiaolian and said with a smile: "Okay, we are now officially in zero." ”
He pointed around and said with a smile, "This is the central square to enter Zero. Unlike other places, the entrance and exit of the city is in the most central part of the city. Whether you enter or leave the city, you have to pass through here. When we go back, just leave here through the guò teleportation array. Pick up a teleportation card at the service office, where you can directly activate the teleportation array and leave the city.
The city is divided into four areas: southeast, northwest, and northwest.
The East District is a private territory, that is, the official institution of Zero City, as well as the permanent area of those top teams who are resident in Zero City, although it is not forbidden for others to enter the area, but there is nothing to see, most of the places inside are classified as private territory, and you can only look at the gates and buildings outside, which is not interesting. The only places that can be open to outsiders are the arbitration center and the security department in Zero City. The former is when there is a dispute between the awakened, where to go to file a complaint for arbitration, and the latter, as the name suggests, is known, which is equivalent to the role of the police station.
The West End is a public trading area with a flea market. All the Awakened can go wherever they go, exchange what they have, whether it is equipment, potions, or all kinds of strange items obtained in the dungeon, or even intelligence, they can be traded there. It can be exchanged for points, barter, or even installments.
The flea market has a service point in Zero City, where any transaction must be picked up with a deed, and once the transaction is completed, then Zero City will act as a certifier of the transaction, guaranteeing the completion of the transaction. For example, if you have installments, you can ask Zero City as a guarantor, of course, you need to have a guaranteed item or something.
For example, if you want to buy an item from an Awakened One, and the other person only accepts points, and you don't have points, you can use other things on your body to pledge them at the service office and borrow a credit from Zero City to buy them.
Of course, there is interest! You have to pay it back regularly, and if you can't pay it back, then what you have mortgaged will be confiscated by Zero City.
I'm just talking about one of them...... In short, there are many ways to trade, so let's take our time when we go.
The southern area is a living area, where can you find a place to live if you stay in Zero City for a short time, there are restaurants, and there are hotels. Most of them are officially opened by Zero City, and some are opened by certain teams. A lot of the consumption in the living area can be paid for in currency, and all the mainstream currencies used in the outside world, such as US dollars, euros, and RMB, can be used here. Of course, the price will be more expensive.
However, there are some special treats that can only be paid for points. ”
Chen Xiaolian was stunned for a moment: "Special enjoyment?"
Luo Di on the side had a strange expression: "The living area here, there won't be 'that's' kind of service, right?!"
Jojo immediately glanced at him.
"What do you think!" Tire smiled wryly, "Of course that doesn't happen." However, there are some special services and enjoyments that do not accept the currency of the outside world. I won't say much about the specifics, but you'll know when you see it. ”
After a pause, he sighed and said slowly: "North District...... It's the most attractive part of Zero City. ”
"Oh?"
"The North End is a business district. In fact, the general function is similar to that of the flea market in the western district. However, the commercial area of the North District is officially set up by Zero City, and it is owned by several top teams based in Zero City.
If the flea market in the West District is self-employed, then the commercial area in the North District is a regular army.
Zero City officially has a lot of good things, these are all kinds of goods that have been accumulated over the years. And those top teams, because of their extraordinary strength, have experienced many dungeons, and will get all kinds of good things.
Whether it is in terms of quality or quantity, it is more and better than the goods in the hands of those scattered awakened people in the flea market in the West District.
By the way, Luo Di, the mecha you like, is in the North District, where there is a weapons and armament department, which is officially run by Zero City, and there are all kinds of weapons, and among the technological products, the mecha is for sale. ”
After saying this, the tire looked at Chen Xiaolian: "Where are we going now?"
Luo Di also looked at Chen Xiaolian with an eager face - of course this guy wanted to run to the weapons and armed forces department immediately.
Chen Xiaolian thought about it, but shook his head: "We are new here, so it's best to familiarize ourselves with the environment first." Well, we shouldn't just stay here for a day, go to the living area first, find a place to stay, and settle the accommodation first. And then say something else. ”
Chen Xiaolian's decision was agreed by everyone in the team, so the seven of them set off and walked to the living area to the south.
Walking across the metal bridge to the south of the central square, you can already see that there are several open-air places that look like cafes next to the river beach below the bridge.
Under the sun umbrella, some of the Awakened were sitting there leisurely drinking drinks.
Chen Xiaolian was surprised to see that on the river beach, there was actually an artificially created beach, as well as artificial waves, and there were men and women in swimsuits and bikinis, playing in the water.
"This ...... It's a resort. Chen Xiaolian's eyes widened, and he looked up at the sky, the sun was shining, and the sky was clear: "By the way, we can see the sky here...... The city should not be in the terrain. I thought it would be an underground city, like the Mausoleum of the Qin Emperor. ”
“...... I do not know. Tire shook his head: "The location of City Zero is top secret. Every time I came, the sky was different, sometimes it was night, sometimes it was day, sometimes I could see the sky, sometimes it was nothing...... The devil knows what's going on, maybe the sun and sky we see are artificially created. ”
"Why are those guys on vacation here?" Roddy stared at a big-breasted woman in a bikini on the artificial beach, and looked at it several times before withdrawing his gaze.
"Because it's safe here. Tire thought for a moment and said with a wry smile: "First, you won't meet other awakened people here...... You may not know that in the outside world, the Awakened do not have a harmonious relationship with each other. Many times, once you meet a strange awakened person, it is likely to be a fight. You should understand the truth of killing people, grabbing treasures, and robbing equipment. ”
Chen Xiaolian immediately remembered the scene he had seen outside the waterfall before entering the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, and he nodded.
"City Zero is safe, and it's a place where the Awakened can truly feel a ...... Realism. Because the people you see and meet here are awakened people like yourself, and everyone can live together peacefully here.
There is another important point that you may not expect. This artificial sandy beach you see. There is a special name in City Zero. ”
"What's that?"
"The sea of love. The old tire blushed and smiled wryly.
"Love...... At this moment, Chen Xiaolian and several other young people were all stunned.
"Actually, the awakened are very lonely. Tire sighed, he stared at the artificial beach, stared, and whispered: "After many people become awakened, they will experience confusion, hesitation, madness, and many other feelings in their hearts. And...... Once you become an Awakened One, when you understand the world, there is still yourself...... There are so many people, it is possible that they are all created by the higher upper world, and they are virtual...... Do you still have the courage and the mood to pursue those so-called feelings?
If you're still single at this time...... Would you still be willing to find an ordinary person as a partner?
When you are facing an ordinary person of the opposite sex, you fall in love with the other person, whether it is dating, even if it is going to bed......
It's going to be awkward. I always feel that this qiē is it real?
Every now and then, you have to go to the dungeon to fight, and you may die if you go...... At this time, it is difficult to fall in love with ordinary people of the opposite sex in the real world.
I even heard a friend say that after he became an awakened person, he slept with an ordinary woman, and he had the feeling of an inflatable doll.
The feeling of inner anguish and loneliness will always surround the hearts of many awakened people and cannot be waved away.
At this time, the Awakened, only when they are with the same kind of Awakened Ones, can they get rid of some of that confusion and confusion a little. can slightly avoid some of the illusions that you can't face hypocrisy and truth.
The awakened are all lonely, and those who have no partner are even more lonely.
Therefore, the Awakened will often only accept the Awakened as their partner - Zero City is the safest place, so many times, the Awakened couples meet each other here.
The riverside café in the living area to the south, as well as the artificial beach, are great places for the Awakened to meet and strike up a conversation here. ”
As he spoke, the tire looked at Chen Xiaolian and looked at Luo Di: "Forget the head of the regiment, but Luo Di and Xiao Lei, if you are willing, I will take you to the tavern by the river for a drink in the evening, maybe there will be an affair." ”
Roddy's eyes lit up suddenly! Even the mecha thing was forgotten!
"Okay, okay!!, why don't we go now?"
......
Walk along the main road in the South End. The roads here are very wide, but there are no vehicles, and they are all pedestrians.
The blocks are all very standard square, very neat, with no greenery on either side of the road, and there is a kind of metal sci-fi feel.
The architecture here is not as bizarre as you might think. Each building is either square or round, and it is not much different from the outside world.
The tires and spare tires are the old horses, and soon led everyone to a hotel he was familiar with.
The hotel is located on a bustling street in the South End - this street doesn't seem to be much different from the commercial streets of the outside world, with restaurants and bars.
The hotel, called the "Traveler's House", looks quite imposing, with a fully transparent glass curtain wall at the entrance, and a circular public area with a screen wall on the side of the entrance.
There are two lines of text that swim over and over again, repeated in a variety of different languages.
"This store is under the protection of the Zero City official and the Rodria team.
This store is a cooperative reception location for the Rhodría team. ”
