Lake returned to the dormitory, and his roommates Li Xiaobai and Monkey Tianming had returned, both of them sitting on their respective beds with their mobile phones watching, still discussing something excitedly.

"Boss Lei, you're back. The Earth Defense Force announced on its official website that it would build a space vehicle and enter the universe. The design drawings of the aircraft are brought out by you! This time, the Earth Defense Force did not announce the name of the player who brought out the blueprint of the aircraft, is it you, quickly explain it from the truth! Li Xiaobai saw Lake coming back and immediately asked.

"It must be you Boss Lei! How did you bring out the black technology drawings of the space vehicle, it's amazing, will our Earth Main World form a space fleet in the future, I want to go to space and become a space warrior! Monkey Tianming also got up and asked Lake.

Lake smiled and sat back down on his bed.

This time, when the Earth Defense Force announced the news of building a flying machine to people around the world, he finally hid his name for the time being.

However, if you have a heart, you should be able to think that the one who brought out the black technology design drawings of this aircraft is the Dongfeng Lake of the mahjong team nine times out of ten.

Now the main world of the earth is ready to mobilize global engineers and materials again to build flying machines.

Before building a nano-level Iron Man armor, because the nano-factory laboratory required to build it was too high-end, people in the main world of the earth were basically unable to participate even if they wanted to.

Although the creation of a spacecraft this time is also a high-tech technology, many parts of the aircraft can be produced by major factories.

In addition, the materials needed for the aircraft can be collected and transported from all over the world.

Now the people of the world in the main world have something to do again, and they have begun to do what they can for the space project.

The latest slogan released by the Earth Defense Force is to let the civilization of the main world of the earth enter the interstellar age of the universe.

"Soon, I will lead the technology of the earth, and when I can go into space, I will take you to space in a spaceship." Lake promises to his two roommates.

Liu Li's soul phantom floating in front of Lake glanced at Lake, she still didn't believe that Lake could lead Earth technology into the cosmic era in a short period of time, even if there was a black technology alchemy ring, it was not an easy task.

"Boss Lei is mighty!" Monkey Tianming said.

"Boss Lei, I fell in love with a sophomore girl, do you think I took the initiative to pursue it, can I catch up?" The little fat man Li Xiaobai asked.

Lake smiled after hearing this, "You go and try it, the worst result is that you can't catch up and there is no loss, in case you catch up!" ”

"yes!"

Lake lay back in bed, surfed the Internet on his phone, and read the announcement issued by the Earth Defense Force to build a space vehicle.

The Earth Defense Force had only been able to get the design drawings of the aircraft for a day, and they had not built a prototype of the aircraft so quickly.

However, the Earth Defense Force made a small animation video of the aircraft, simulating the appearance of the aircraft flying in space and landing on the ground, and uploaded the video to the Internet.

What caused a sensation among netizens around the world on the Internet was this animated small video.

The Earth Defense Force announced that by the end of November at the latest, the first spacecraft prototype mechanism will be made, and a lift-off ceremony will be held at that time.

Many players and ordinary people have left messages and posts on the Internet, paying attention to the manufacturing process of this cross-era space vehicle.

Lake read it and left a message, and someone left a message that he wanted to build a space fleet, saying that the aircraft was too small and had little combat power.

There are those who want to build black holes or antimatter weapons, and there are those who want to build Saturn railguns.

There are even people who leave anonymous messages, suggesting that the moon be blown up, saying that they look at the moon too bright every night, and they have to hang curtains, otherwise they won't sleep well.

Lake saw someone mention the moon, and it just happened to be inspired, and he had the opportunity to build a moon base first.

However, it is necessary to wait for the productivity of the Earth's main world to go up, and the robots controlled by artificial intelligence are very suitable to go to the moon to establish a base.

But at this stage, Lake is still not sure to control artificial intelligence, and he does not dare to rashly take artificial intelligence out of the dungeon world.

We have to wait and build a space fleet and a space fortress first.

The technology of the Earth's main world needs to be improved step by step, and if you pull too much at once, it is easy to get out of control.

Lake then put down his phone, lay down on his bed, covered himself, and closed his eyes.

Instead of sleeping immediately, he let himself consciously enter the mysterious labyrinth [Metal City].

Lake appears on the ground of a silver-white metal city, looking at the intricate high-rise buildings nearby, and the road on the ground is relatively chaotic.

I first selected a nearby high-rise building and decided to climb to the top of the building to see the situation of this [Metal City].

Enter a metal building that resembles an office building, the façade of this metal building is a glass curtain wall, which has a good sense of transparency, and you can see the outside even from inside the building.

On almost every floor, there are several metallic and glass passages that are connected to the additional metal buildings.

Lake walked into the metal building, only to find an angry thing, he ball, although there are lifts and elevators in the metal building, but the elevators and elevators in the building can only run from the upper floor to the bottom floor, not up.

The only way to go up is to take the stairs.

Lake chose a metal building forty or fifty stories high.

The metal building chosen by Lake is still the tallest in this metal city, and Lake knows that he will have to climb the stairs for a long time later.

Control your consciousness and walk up the stairs. Although climbing stairs in a conscious state is not physically tired, but after a while, you will feel tired.

This second phase of the Metal City maze map is the opposite of the first phase.

In the first stage of the underground cave maze, looking at the many runes carved around and on the ground, the spirit consumed by yourself will be restored.

In this second stage of the metal city, it will consume spiritual power.

Fortunately, as long as you stop and stand up the stairs and look at the metal walls around you, the mental power you consume can be quickly recovered.

Lake climbed dozens of flights of stairs and rested twice, feeling that the total amount of his mental power had not increased, but his soul seemed to have become more tenacious.

Finally, Lake climbed to the top of the building's stairs and stood on the roof of the building, looking around at the metal city.

Many of the surface roads are interconnected, with many dead ends.

This metal city covers a large area, and the height of the metal buildings generally decreases further to the periphery.

On the contrary, in the middle of the city, the height of the metal buildings is constantly rising.

Lake looked at the metal buildings in the middle of the city, and they all burst into the sky.

In the middle of the city, there is a gate in the clouds, a portal, in the sky on the top floor of one of the tallest metal buildings.

"The way to leave this metal city maze map is estimated not to be on the ground, but to the top of the tallest building, and you can clear the customs!" Lake looked at it and analyzed.

The tallest buildings in the center of the city seem to be hundreds of stories high.

The roof of the building where Lake is standing now is only forty or fifty floors.

To access the tall building, you need to go to the different floors of the nearby building, which is connected by a glass-metal bridge between the two buildings.

Lake didn't rush to walk, first looked at the tall buildings in the center of the city, and analyzed the route backwards.

After watching for more than ten minutes, Lake was dizzy, there were too many passages, and some of them were connected in other directions of the metal building.

And in the second stage of the labyrinth of the metal city where he is now, there is no auxiliary minimap in his brain to show the communication channels between these metal buildings, so he can only rely on his own analysis and memory.

Lake took the elevator, and after going down two floors, he began to walk the metal and glass bridge between the buildings to the other, higher buildings.

Let's walk slowly, this metal city, it is estimated that it will not be able to reach the highest point in the center of the city in a short time.

"What happens if you jump from the top of a tall building! Will you clear the customs directly, or there is nothing, or you will be seriously injured and die. ”

Lake looked at the bottom of the metal and glass bridge he was standing on, but fortunately he wasn't afraid of heights, otherwise he wouldn't dare to move.

The idea of jumping down, Lake quickly gave up. After all, although it is my own consciousness that enters this mysterious labyrinth, the environment here is too real.

Here, if you jump off a building, you will think that you will be seriously injured and die if you fall, and you may really die if you jump.

After walking for more than two hours on the Metal City Labyrinth map, Lake first exited the mysterious maze and went to sleep.

Earth's main world, twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

The Earth's main world alternates with the inner world, and Lake appears in the VIP ward of the central hospital in L City.

Lake continued to sleep and did not wake up. Liu Li's soul is illusory, and she did not follow Lake into the inner world.

After sleeping until the morning, after Lake got up, he went to Bing Ruoxi and Angel in the inner world to have lunch together, and asked casually during the meal where to buy more advanced equipment and items from other players in the inner world.

Angel directly told Lake a trading website of the Earth Players Guild.

"What equipment and props you want to use, just tell the Earth Defense Force, and they will find a way to buy you the best. But in fact, now we Earth players don't have any very good equipment. Even if a player is lucky enough to get good equipment or items, they will keep them for themselves and will not take them out and sell them. You go to this website to buy some commonly used healing and antidotes, these small potions, don't bother the Earth Defense Force. Angel said to Lake.

"Okay, I'll have time to go to this site and buy some potions." Lake said casually, not telling Angel that he actually wanted to buy an item that could store his soul.

After all, it is necessary to conceal the existence of Liu Li's soul phantom, and the fewer people who know the existence of Liu Li's soul phantom, the better.

"You can buy anonymously, Lake, and if you're buying too many things at once, you'd better be anonymous. Otherwise, Dongfeng Lake appeared on the website and began to purchase pharmaceuticals on a large scale, which may directly disrupt the price of the existing pharmacy market and increase the price of the already expensive pharmacy again. Bing Ruoxi reminded Lake on the side.

"Okay, got it, I'm anonymous."

In the afternoon, Lake found an empty room in the hospital and sat on his own, and began to log on to the trading website that Angel had told him.

Lake chose to register anonymously.

After logging into this website, Lake checked his existing Heavenly Coins, but there were five million Heavenly Coins.

Yesterday in the inner world, I went to the mecha research and development base on the east campus of the University of Science and Technology, and before leaving, the people in charge of the scientific research team and the generals of the Earth Defense Force gave me millions of heavenly coins, so that I could spend them casually and buy something that I could use.

After all, at the beginning of next month, another earth will appear, and it is necessary to improve some strength as soon as possible.

Lake first chose to purchase a batch of potions, about 100,000 Heavenly Coins. Most of the potions that he had stored before were used up when he came out of the egg cabin to treat Bing Ruoxi.

Rick then began to look for items that could store spirits and bring them into the Heavens Online dungeon, and also found items that could attack spirits.

Although I found a player selling spells, the introduction of spells can exorcise demons and deal some damage to spirits.

However, the attack damage of this spell is too weak, and Lake judged that it was quite a punch on the opponent, and it was impossible to kill a powerful spirit.

There were weird souls before, and they wanted to sacrifice themselves, but it's a pity that the things sold on the Earth Player Forum are really as Angel said, and the level is too low.

There are a few items that store spirits, but generally only very weak spirit-type creatures can be stored.

Lake continued to search, and after searching for more than an hour, he finally found a special one that could subdue the spirits.

[Poke Ball: Use 11 times, you can capture and contract an inhuman state creature and become your pet.

Reminder: The success rate is extremely low, and the premise of the contract process is to control this non-human creature. The success rate of the contract is inversely proportional to the self-awareness and strength of the subdued creature. The stronger the creature, the more resistant the creature will be. The success rate of general pet acceptance is less than one percent. 】

Lake looked at the introduction of this Poke Ball, and Liu Li's soul phantom state is estimated to be an inhuman state.

But whether you can use this Poké Ball to take it as your pet is unknown, and it depends on luck.

This player sells this Poké Ball for a price of 100,000 Heavenly Coins, showing no counteroffer.

This price is expensive for other players, but it is completely acceptable for Lake.

"Is this just this one Poke Ball, is there any, I'll buy more together, no bargain." Lake sent a message anonymously.

It took a few minutes before replying to Lake.

"Complete the deal for this one first."

Through this website, Lake transferred 100,000 Heavenly Coins.

"Anything else?" After paying the money, Lake continued to ask the player.

Now that I have searched the entire trading area, I found that this Poke Ball, which meets my expectations, can contain Liu Li's soul phantom.

"There were three before, and I used two of them myself to capture the creatures in the dungeon, and they all failed, and there were none." The seller replied quickly.

Lake felt a pity, it seems that this Poké Ball was really successful in capturing very low.

If it can achieve a 350% capture rate, it is estimated that it will become an artifact, and it will not be sold so cheaply.

Lake browsed the website of this trading area again, there are no items suitable for his own use, and the props in it are sold by players, but he has not yet held Thor's hammer himself, and the attack power of a hammer is strong, so it is completely useless to buy these small props.

In the afternoon of World Time, Lake stays in the hospital room, lying down and walking through the mysterious maze.

Keep climbing stairs and cross the glass metal bridge to the higher metal building.

Walking through the mysterious maze until about nine o'clock in the evening, Lake angrily chose to quit.

He finally went up to a high-rise building with more than 100 floors, and finally found that the passage of this high-rise building did not lead directly to the nearby high-rise buildings.

I also ordered to take the elevator and go down dozens of floors.

I chose the wrong way, I chose the wrong building.

In anger, Lake won't go through this maze today, it's too pit.

Exiting the mysterious labyrinth, Lake goes to the hospital supermarket, finds a bowl of instant noodles, and puts a sausage in hot water for his dinner.

After eating, I found a ward to sleep in.

As midnight falls on Earth, the Earth's Inner World alternates with the Overworld, and Lake returns to his bedroom in the Earth's Overworld.

"Did you buy anything that would take me into the dungeon?" Liu Li's soul phantom directly woke up Ryker in his sleep.

Looking at Liu Li floating in front of him, Lake smiled, took out the Poke Ball, and put it next to his bed for Liu Li to see.

"You let me be your pet, no!" After Liu Li checked the information of the Poke Ball, she became a little angry.

"I searched all over the website of the Player Trading Area in the world and found this. Whatever you want, you must be willing, and I can only accept you. The premise is that your strength is still a little weaker, and it is better to be injured. It's up to you, if not, I'll go back to the inner world in a few days to find out, but I may not find a better one. Lake said.

Lake is not worried that Liu Li's soul phantom will not agree, after all, this Liu Li also wants to take away and take the second earth Liu Li's body to return.

Lake judged that Liu Li's soul phantom had a chance of more than 90 percent, and would finally agree to use this Poke Ball.

After Liu Li heard this, she flew to the table and sat down with some anger.

"Boss Lei, who are you talking to, are you talking in your dreams!" In the bedroom, Li Xiaobai's voice came.

Monkey Tianming saw the Poké Ball that Lake had placed next to his bed.

"What a beautiful crystal ball, Boss Lei, are you going to be a wizard, is this a ball for wizards to cast spells?" Monkey Tianming asked, and was about to come over and reach out and touch the poke ball.

Immediately, Lake took the Poké Ball back to his Heavenly Online and stored it first.

"I just bought a prop that can see the future, I was watching the future just now!" Lake said casually to cover up the previous conversation with Liu Li.

The two roommates couldn't see Liu Li's soul phantom, nor could they hear Liu Li's words, only Lake himself could see it.

"Boss Lei, what did you see?" Li Xiaobai asked curiously.

Monkey Tianming was also very curious, "How will I be in the future, Boss Lei, how do you see me and Li Xiaobai living in the future?" ”

Lake looked at the two roommates, but he didn't expect that he would say a joke casually, and the two of them really believed it.

"You will become stronger in the future, but you are still single, and you have never found a girlfriend." Lake said with a smile.

"What! Hurry up and smash that broken crystal ball, it's not accurate to see at all, a deceptive prop! Li Xiaobai immediately shouted.

"Yes, smash it, this is a fake, Boss Lei, you were absolutely deceived when you bought it." Monkey Tianming also shouted angrily.

If Li Xiaobai and Monkey Tianming knew that they couldn't beat Lake, they would have come over to force Lake to hand over the crystal ball and smash it on the spot.

"Okay, go to sleep, the future can change, there are many kinds of futures, and I can't see for sure." After reassuring his two roommates, Lake lies down in bed and sleeps on his own.

Lake slept until about 10 a.m. the next morning, and his two roommates left the dorm to go to training.

Lake picked up his phone and called the principal, Grandma Zhang, to ask for a period of leave.

Grandma Zhang, the principal, directly agreed, and didn't ask Lake what he was going to do when he asked for leave.

After all, Dongfeng Lake is now among the top players on the earth, and the main world involves some things, and the principal Grandma Zhang directly gave the green light.

Lake then left the school and took the bus to the train station.

On the way, Lake bought a ticket on his mobile phone and bought a ticket.

This time is not a holiday, the train tickets are quite sufficient, Lake estimates that there will be many empty seats in the carriage, and Liu Li's soul phantom can sit casually.

"Five hours of high-speed rail express, just to your hometown, your home is actually not far from L City!" Lake whispered to Liu Li's soul phantom floating beside him.

Lake is now in the waiting hall of the train station, ready to wait for the train.

I bought the train myself, and it took more than half an hour to arrive at the station.

"It's okay, I used to take the train by myself. What about you, Lake, where is your hometown, and do you still have brothers and sisters? After you become an online player, do you go home and take a look? You are now Dongfeng Lake's identity, and when you go home, your parents and relatives have nothing to say to you? Liu Li's soul phantom asked out loud, before Liu Li was anxious to go home and have a look. But I'm going home today, and Liu Li's soul phantom is a little scared.

Lake thought for a moment, he came to this world and never went home.

In the previous summer vacation, it happened to be the end of the protection period for newbies in Zhutian Online, and then there were things such as Avatar infiltrating players.

I only occasionally call home.

Lake wants to wait a few years before going back, after all, he replaces the body of Lake who occupies this world, but he doesn't want to be recognized by his parents when he returns home.

And if I go home now, I might be in danger to my family.

Now in the main world of the earth, there are still alien infiltration players, they can't deal with their own Dongfeng Lake, if they capture their own family and threaten themselves, they will be in trouble.

Lake reckoned that the Earth Defense Force had sent people to protect his family in the shadows.

My parents, parents and sister don't know that they are Dongfeng Lake, the leader of the earth's black technology, it is estimated that they only vaguely guessed that they joined Zhutian Online and became a player.

Lake thought about it, and suddenly, he felt like he had overlooked something important.

"What's the matter, Lake, do you want to go home too? How did your expression change, it just so happened that after you accompanied me home, there is still time this month, and I can also accompany you home to see! Liu Li's Zero Phantom shook in front of Lake and asked.

"I thought of another thing, let's go to your house first." Lake whispered.

Lake thought of his sister, and in his impression, he had a sister named Lei Xiaoyu.

Lake immediately picked up his phone and checked his phone's address book. On his mobile phone address book, there is a phone number named Lei Xiaoyu.

Sister Lei Xiaoyu was not erased by the heavens online, Lei Ke let out a long breath, Lei Xiaoyu also lives in the main world of this earth.

But it has been a few months since he came to the main world of this earth, and Lake feels that an invisible force has made him forget the existence of his sister Lei Xiaoyu.

Lei Xiaoyu's sense of existence has been diluted, and if it weren't for Liu Li, who was in the state of soul phantom, suddenly asked, Lei Ke accidentally thought about it, and he couldn't think of his sister Lei Xiaoyu.

Lake looked at the phone number of his sister Lei Xiaoyu on his phone, and hesitated to call it.

There must be some special situation in this, my sister Lei Xiaoyu exists in this world, but I usually don't think about her.
