19. Invitations from afar

Starry sky. Bai-Xiao_Sheng(.)

The vast and endless sea of stars, like a river twinkling in the stars, surrounds the overhead, around the side, and under the feet.

Cheng Peng sat on a small platform, leaning at the blue gate of light, staring at the vast sea of stars.

Each star is a world in its own right.

And every ray of light in the sea of stars means that a player has passed through the gate of the astral plane and traveled to another world. Adventure 19

Cheng Peng likes to see this scene very much.

This gave him a sense of independence - most scholars in the world, especially those in the liberal arts, have a tendency to be independent, and the question is whether it will actually be implemented.

As the saying goes, everyone has a beast in their hearts, but only a few people will release the beast.

Cheng Peng is certainly not one of those few.

After staring at the starry sky for a few minutes, he stood up and pressed his right hand against the blue door of light.

[Please select the target world.] 】

"Gensokyo." Cheng Peng replied.

The scene in front of him blurred for a while, and the door of light flowed, pushing him out.

With Cheng Peng's balance ability at the moment, it was naturally impossible to fall down with such a gentle push, he didn't even stumble, but stood firmly as if he was strolling in the court.

But in the next moment, he snapped out in surprise.

"How so? Could it be that the Astral Gate will also fail? ”

In front of you is a bustling metropolis with a lot of traffic and people coming and going.

Fashionable young men and women, office workers in a hurry, leisurely ramblers, cars running in the middle of the street, salespeople and shoppers in roadside shops......

There was an airship floating slowly in the sky, and the large banner on the airship was advertising a newly opened amusement park.

On the corner of the street where he was stood, a few children, led by an older teenager who appeared to be their older brother, were waiting for the green light to get across the road to a movie theater with billboards indicating that a special feature film about cosmic monsters and superhumans was showing today.

No matter how you look at it, it is a very ordinary scene, and before the arrival of Datong society, many big cities were like this.

But...... That's not right!

Cheng Peng couldn't help but open the system panel and check the map.

The map clearly shows the name of the world you are currently in. Adventure 19

[Gensokyo, novices can enter, the upper limit of ability is eight stars. 】

That's right, it's where he's coming from.

The problem is that this metropolis is the polar opposite of what he knows as "Gensokyo"!

The so-called "Gensokyo" is a place isolated from the world, although it exists in the "world", it is not a human world, but a place full of wonderful charm.

Modern civilization has not developed at all, monsters and humans exist together, and all kinds of "fantasies" that have been annihilated in reality exist there, but "common sense" is a little unworkable there.

People's attire is a bit like ancient times, but in some respects there is technology that surpasses modern times; Martial arts masters, magicians, immortals, monsters, gods...... All kinds of beings that are just legends in the outside world live there, today you may follow a group of human heroes to crusade against a monster who likes to eat people, and tomorrow you may see a higher being far more powerful than that monster singing and dancing in the square in the middle of the city.

Of course, it's not about peaceful coexistence, or that the "peace" of Gensokyo definitely doesn't mean that everyone sits down and chats with harmony, but just doesn't damage the entire Gensokyo......

Gensokyo is such an incredible place, and it is precisely because of its all-encompassing charm that many people are fascinated by it - it is the largest game world, with a conservative estimate of more than 100,000 players.

But in any case, the city where Cheng Peng is located is obviously not Gensokyo.

He sighed and pulled an invitation from his bosom.

The white "color" cardboard is dotted with red "color" lace, adding a bit of cheerful "color" to the simple invitation; On the front of the invitation is a shrine in the mountains, although it is a little old but very neat, there is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl standing under the torii torii archway facing the shrine, wearing a red and white "color" witch costume, with a delicate face, but with the unique indifference of a hermit, the expression on the face can only be said to be a little warm, not to mention kindness or malice; On the back of the invitation, Juanxiu's font reads, "On the occasion of the establishment of the rules of the 'Spell Card War', you are cordially invited to Gensokyo to watch the ceremony", and the inscription is "Hakurei Reimu".

Just such an invitation has been hyped up to a sky-high price in the forum, and many people are scolding the black-hearted businessman Fengyue who hyped the invitation, while increasing the price in the auction project, gritting their teeth and wanting to buy the invitation card with the handwritten character they like.

For example, this invitation of his, someone paid 1,000 universal points to buy it!

"It's insane!" Cheng Peng commented

Under normal circumstances, a player only gains about 100 points per month, but the game has only been open for more than six months now, and 1,000 points has exceeded all the savings of ordinary people!

But there are people who are willing to do it.

If it weren't for Liu Xueji, who sent this invitation to him, who repeatedly emphasized that he must come, he would really want to take this invitation to auction.

Coincidentally, he was originally planning to leave the dark world and go to the planned martial arts world to learn light skills, when he received a text message from Liu Xueji.

The text message was very vague, just inviting him to come to Gensokyo to watch the ceremony, and by the way, this invitation was attached.

"I've arrived." He dialed Liu Xueji's private chat, "But why does the scene I see not look like Gensokyo at all?" ”

"It's a test." Liu Xueji replied, "If you can come to Hakurei Shrine with your own ability, you will pass the test." ”

"Is there any benefit to passing the test?" Adventure 19

"It's still undecided." Liu Xueji's answer made him feel very powerless, "Reimu just came up with such an idea at Marisa's suggestion, as for the follow-up development - anyway, it's not in a hurry, you can think slowly." ”

"When you say 'Reimu', you're referring to Hakurei Reimu, one of the final bosses of Gensokyo World, right? As the final boss, but the nerves are so thick, is it really okay? ”

"If there's a problem, it's no problem, you'll know when you meet - okay, I'll have to be busy arranging here, goodbye."

Cheng Peng sighed.

Then he went to the forum.

Let's check the information first.

Unfortunately, he didn't find Gensokyo's address in reality.

It's not completely without clues, it's just that "Gensokyo is located between Nagano Prefecture and Yamanashi Prefecture in Japan, and the famous landscapes 'Yachinogake Renfeng' and 'Lake Suwa' can be used as a reference, as long as you find Hakurei Shrine deep in the mountains, you can go from the real world to the fantasy world ......" This seems very clear and clear, but he Cheng Peng is not one of those children who has not seen the world!

In a large scenic area, find a shrine deep in the mountains......

"Find an Internet café first, download the electronic map and have a look."

In an Internet café near the corner, he unexpectedly met an acquaintance.

Wende.

Wende also seems to have come to look up information, but instead of "" the computer keyboard at all, he chatted energetically with the waiter at the Internet café.

When Cheng Peng came in, it happened that the little girl with a ponytail was amused by this wanderer, and she smiled forward and backwards, very happy.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Peng was immediately relieved.

If you want to fight, he has absolutely no pressure to beat a dozen Wende, but when it comes to collecting intelligence, ten of them can't add up to Wende.

This beautiful man who calls himself a street musician is extremely good at dealing with female "sex", basically as long as he is a woman, he can become familiar with each other in less than ten sentences, and then become friends in a few minutes, or even develop to the point of physical relationship after just a few conversations.

Levi once said sourly: "Wende, this guy must have his own estrus aura!" Most of his ancestors are surnamed Zeyue! ”

The so-called "surname Sawagoshi" refers to a super flowery radish named Sawagoshi - by the way, one of the playboy's children is named Makoto Ito, who is also famous.

In the time since he met Wende, Cheng Peng found that he had at least an ambiguous relationship with fifteen or sixteen women, and as for the female NPCs who were close, there were too many to calculate.

With such a guy who is good at dealing with women, it must be easy to get information about Gensokyo from the local NPCs......

Half an hour later, Cheng Peng and Wende took a taxi to the nearby resort area of Yachinogake Highland.

"Deep in that mountain, between the resort area of Yachidake and Lake Suwa, legend has it that there are remnants of an old era, and on more than one occasion someone has seen a very old shrine." Wende took out his laptop - Cheng Peng just bought it, and when he crossed the gate of the Star Boundary, the system was very kind to convert the coins on his body into yen, about 100 million, so he was responsible for paying the money, "You see, this road is not very long, we can go back and forth a few times, or simply walk, it is estimated that we can find it in a day at most." ”

"What about the satellite map?"

"Of course not, it's also a test, and it can't be so easy for us to pass the test."

Cheng Peng thought for a moment and asked curiously where Wende got the invitation?

The two of them each took out an invitation.

Cheng Peng's invitation was distributed by Hakuri Shrine, and Wende's invitation was distributed by Shouya Shrine.

However, unlike Cheng Peng, the writer of Wende's invitation is not Sanae Toshiya, the shrine maiden of Shouya Shrine, but the shrine's deity, Suwako Kuiya, an indigenous god who is said to be a frog.

"It was given by a girlfriend." Winder said casually, "She said I must have liked the scenery of Gensokyo, so she sent this to me." ”

"Oh? That's right.,It's said that Gensokyo is full of beautiful girls......"

"Do you think I'm a 'pervert'?"

"Aren't you?"

Wende, whose character was questioned, sighed speechlessly.

About three hours later, at the foot of the steps of the Boli Shrine in the mountains, Wang Hu, who was also invited, asked in surprise, "Who sent him the invitation?" Isn't that a wolf in the house? ”

For a period of time after that, every person they met who knew Wende made such an exclamation.

In the end, Winder had to get a mask to cover his face and promise not to make waves in Gensokyo, so that he escaped the danger of being taken out by the vigilant players before it happened.
