Chapter 67: A World with Islands Floating Overhead
The second act of the first game begins. The Athlete Aichen crossed over again and came to the world called 'Athletic 001' alone.
Same as the last crossing. After a flash of white light, Aichen came to a wilderness. According to the 'globe', there is a mega-large city in the vicinity of the area, and there are several smaller towns in the vicinity.
Within the radius of this urban agglomeration, there are at least twenty town-level human settlements, with countless villages and farms. In addition to this, there are a total of seven empty islands suspended in the sky of this realm.
After coming to this other world, the first thing Aichen did was to look up at the sky. At this time, the sun is high, it is just noon, and the sun is shining.
Despite this, he managed to find an empty island on the edge of the sky, floating higher above the clouds like clouds.
The island was like a huge plate, and it was impossible to see what was 'contained' on the 'plate' when you looked down at it.
"The people of this world must be full of beautiful fantasies about the world on that plate, right?" Aichen thought so. "It's like we believe that there are laurels, Guanghan Palaces, and Chang'e on the moon."
This time, he crossed alone, and his sisters around him didn't bring any of them, all of them were placed on the earth and stayed with Zhao Xiyuan.
This is done primarily for the sake of profit. He planned to come to this world alone to investigate first, to see if there was anything missing, and then ask Zhao Xiyuan to help buy it, which was brought over by his sisters who were in his hometown on Earth.
In this kind of life-fighting game, if you want to survive, you naturally have to calculate all the details that can be calculated.
Looking at the empty island for a moment, Aichen shook his head to cheer up. Looking at the state of the vegetation here, it is supposed to be late autumn, and it gets dark early.
"There's no time to delay, it's time to get to work."
After a word of encouragement to himself, he took out the 'Crossing Pack' given to him by the Voice of Mystery. Just like the last time I traveled through the world of martial arts, this time the gift bag is still full of worthless but very practical gadgets.
"A plastic surgery card. Well, yes, you can stay. There is a chance to use it again. ”
"Water card, not very needed. I brought a lot of food with me this time, and this card can also be saved. ”
"Well, language cards. Use it directly. ”
"Clothing card. If you need it urgently, put it on immediately. ”
Aichen sorted out the cards he got, used them, and collected them. After tossing for more than ten minutes, he had already changed into the clothes of this world, wearing a warm leather jacket and leather pants and long boots, and wearing a loose white shirt close to his body.
After tucking away the awkward hem of his clothes, he took out the small mirror he had with him and looked at it, feeling like a character who had stepped out of the Lord of the Rings from the movie.
In addition to these things, this 'Pack' comes with an additional 'Permission' called 'Monster Radar'.
After using this permission, click on the red ring on the back of your hand and a projection will appear that only competitors can see. In the projection, all the monsters on the ground in the vicinity can be revealed. With this thing, competitors can better kill monsters and earn points.
Aichen looked at the monster radar and found that there were seventy or eighty monsters gathered somewhere in the nearby forest, which was good news.
"I'm lucky, I can just use it to practice my hands and understand the combat power of monsters."
He hurriedly ran in search of directions, and soon met the natives of this world, a group of men dressed as hunters and rangers. There were ten of them, and they were confronting a monster the size of a grizzly bear.
The monster looked like a cross between a praying mantis and a longhorn bull, with a heavy carapace on its back, and stood on its strong hind legs, wielding eighteen front paws as sharp as a scythe.
"That's a bit of a lot of claws, isn't it? It's disgusting to be densely packed. ”
Ai Chen stood behind the aborigines and complained about the appearance of the monster, and by the way, he deliberately exposed his existence.
The natives turned their heads violently when they heard the movement. Just as they were distracted, the monster struck and pounced on one of the skinniest men.
Aichen was frightened when he saw this scene, for fear that the man would be injured because of himself. He wanted to help, but unfortunately it was too late. The monster has wielded its sinful eighteen scythes.
However, the bloody scene did not appear. The thin man not only dodged the attack in time, but instead drew his knife and stabbed at the monster's relatively soft abdomen.
Others also swarmed up, brandishing their weapons and killing the monster on the spot.
'These people's combat effectiveness is quite high. ’
Aichen used the scout skill and found that although they were all white card quality, they had reached an A level, which was much more powerful than the curved longbow when they first met. This is true for all ten of them.
After killing the monster, the natives let out cheers and high-fives in celebration.
"Finally killed this sword beetle and made a fortune!"
They scrambled to the monster called the 'Knife Beetle', broke off all eighteen of its scythe claws, removed the flesh, and wrapped it in a clean cloth and put it in its bag.
They did not spare the remaining corpses of the knife beetles, and began to cut them on the spot, putting all the useful parts into the bamboo basket on the side.
Aichen stood by and watched for a moment, drawing the attention of the man who was the leader of them.
"Hey, stranger. Where are you from, and how do you look so weird? ”
The person who asked the question was a well-proportioned man with long brown hair. He was in his forties, with a scruffy beard, several scars on his face, and half of his left ear. This person has sharp eyes and an indifferent expression, as if he doesn't take Aichen, the face of the East, seriously, and asks questions just out of curiosity.
"I'm from the East." Aichen pointed in the direction of the rising sun, "I'm a traveler, walk around." There is no special purpose, and there is no malice. ”
When the man heard the word 'traveler', he immediately set his eyes on Aichen's carry-on package.
"Traveler, do you have anything interesting that you want to sell or exchange? My wife has a birthday in a few days, and I want to buy her some delicate knick-knacks. ”
Aichen's package was used to hide people's eyes and ears and pretend to be a traveler, and it was full of clothes. But when it comes to 'gadgets', the little mirror in his pocket should be a rarity in this kind of world.
He took out the mirror and handed it to the man to look at. The man's eyes lit up and beckoned his partner to come over and see the world together.
"Wow, such pure and flat glass. Good stuff. It's just a little smaller. ”
Aichen smiled from the sidelines, and promoted his mirror in the tone of a businessman.
"It's small, but it's good enough to fix your face. Easy to carry, you can put it in your pocket and put it in a box. The most important thing is that he is cheap. ”
"Cheap?" The man at the head was a little moved, and immediately started a routine with Aichen to prepare for bargaining. Aichen also took the opportunity to ask some questions to learn as much as possible about the world.
