Chapter 70: The First Exploration of the Ark (Part II)
The interior of the building of the Ark Group is unimaginably large, let's take the square where Lu Yuan is located at this time......
Well, yes, you heard it right, there is a plaza in a company building, which occupies about the same area as a small park, and when you look up, you can see a dome of nearly 100 meters, and artificial sunlight.
And such a large square is actually just the tip of the iceberg of this building.
There are just some information about the history of the Ark Group, or some technology displays, etc., which are places for tourists to visit...... Also, there are tour guides.
A group of people who looked to be only the age of junior high school students lined up, and at the front of the line was a staff member in formal attire who was explaining the Ark Group to the children.
And Lu Yuan and Lu Li, the two siblings followed the back of the team and listened.
"130 years ago, the Ark Group was officially established......"
"In August of the same year, the first ultra-high-speed maglev train came out."
"In October of the following year, the global network was synchronized."
"Civilian technology has been advancing explosively for 20 years."
"A century ago, a holographic immersive game came out, and [The Ark Group] named it after itself."
"About 60 years ago, due to the weapons control of the Ark Group, our world was completely free of war."
The tour guide is supposed to explain these deeds to all kinds of people every day, so she speaks very smoothly, without a pause in her tone, as if she is memorizing a text.
Lu Yuan's eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly.
There is no special reason, he just thinks that what the tour guide says will reach the ears of these children, and when these children grow up, they will also tell the story to their children.
But whether what the tour guide said was true or not, even she didn't know, or what the [Ark] did more than a century ago, no one seems to know.
That's when ......
[News: In the early hours of this morning, the first-line team of Xingchen Company successfully conquered the level 70 nightmare difficulty dungeon, and the press conference will be broadcast simultaneously around the world at 3 pm. 】
A voice came, and everyone was attracted by the sound and looked towards it.
I saw that above the square, on a huge display screen, a circular icon surrounded by nebulae was rotating rapidly, and Lu Yuan knew that this was the emblem of Xingchen Company.
Soon, the icon faded away, and a man in his 20s wearing a plain T-shirt, single eyelid, and a look of not waking up appeared on the screen.
In an instant, bursts of cheers came from everywhere in the entire exhibition hall.
"This guy seems to be very popular." Lu Li asked, "Who is he?" ”
"I don't know, but looking at this posture, it should be a star player of Xingchen Company."
......
As he spoke, a microphone came to the young man's mouth on the big screen.
"Hello Orion......"
"Uh...... You're okay too. The boy who was called [Orion] replied weakly.
"I heard that Xingchen Company ...... in the early hours of this morning"
"Ah, you're right." Before Orion could finish speaking, he directly interrupted: "We cleared the level 70 nightmare difficulty this morning, and our team has no feelings about it, and I don't have anything to communicate with the majority of players, as for what dungeon experience, I don't have anything to share, huh...... That's it. ”
"So ......"
"The whole customs clearance process is almost the same as before, there is no danger, I am too lazy to say the details."
"So ......"
"The captain is too troublesome to come out for an interview, in fact, he should have secretly run home by now, and the rest of the team members don't want to come out...... Actually, I didn't want to come out either, but I lost just now with rock-paper-scissors......"
As he spoke, he shrugged helplessly.
"So ......"
"Okay, I'm sleepy, that's all for today's interview, if you have any questions, someone will take care of you at the press conference in the afternoon."
"So ......"
"Ah~ then, bye-bye."
As he spoke, the boy stood up, yawned, and stepped out of the camera's range.
At this point, the reporter finally withdrew his microphone.
"So, the above is the front-line report brought by xx radio for the majority of players."
Lu Yuan looked at this interview with almost no content, and sighed.
"Tsk, I think I've heard of this person, it's called [Orion], right...... What a stinking fart. ”
"But...... It seems that you are the only one who thinks he stinks. Ah Li said, and then pointed to the row of junior high school students next to him.
Lu Yuan looked in the direction pointed by Ah Li, and saw that all the children were looking at the big screen with admiration.
"Well, I said kid." Lu Yuan leaned next to a child: "Do you like that person just now?" ”
The boy turned his head: "You mean [Orion]?" ”
"Hmm."
"Of course, he's my idol!" The kid replied immediately, even with a small jump.
"Why?" Lu Yuan asked with a frown.
"He's the strongest hunter in the ark, tracking, scouting, stealth and hurrying, no one can match him, and...... His sniper rifle. The boy made a gesture of aiming with his gun: "No prey can escape his palm, he can take a bullet before anyone notices him...... Bang...... The head of a quest boss moves. ”
The more the kid talked, the more excited he became......
"But...... Haven't you thought that those who were blown open in the head by one of his bullets probably didn't want to die? ”
"......" The child was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand.
"I mean, uh...... You probably haven't been shot in the head, so you don't quite understand it...... Actually, it hurts a lot when my head is shattered. ”
The kid looked at Lu Yuan, then blinked his eyes, took two steps back, and saw that Lu Yuan didn't take any action, so he quickly turned around, his face was inexplicable, and he ran away with a little fear.
"You're being treated like a weird uncle." Ah Li said with a smile.
"Looks like so." Lu Yuan replied.
"So, no matter how much we look like players, at the end of the day, we're still outliers."
"......" Lu Yuan looked at the child who had already run into the crowd, silent.
......
......
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
The artificial sunlight is still warm, but the visitors in the square have dispersed one after another.
Lu Yuan pushed Ah Li and came to the bathroom.
"Brother, although I have just come to the real world not long ago, but ...... I still understand the common sense that boys can't go into the women's bathroom. ”
Ah Li said calmly, and pointed to the word "female" on the wall.
"Ah, I know that too." Lu Yuan muttered, "That's why I need your help...... Now, you're here, and when you see a woman coming in, you help me stop her. ”
While speaking, Lu Yuan also put a [under maintenance] sign at the door of the toilet.
After doing this, Lu Yuan bent down again, and turned out a toy car under Lu Li's wheelchair.
This thing is a small prop made by Lu Yuan, the kind that can keep moving forward. The difference between it and other toy cars is that at the front of it, there is an infrared ray, which can automatically turn when encountering obstacles, and its wheels are stained with strong adhesive tape, which allows the car to crawl on vertical walls, and the stickiness is enough to keep it for half a month.
Well...... Having said so much, in fact, a simple explanation, this is a sweeping robot that can climb walls.
And what is Lu Yuan going to do with this thing?
Speaking of which, you may not believe it, Lu Yuan wants to use this thing to trace the route of the vent of the toilet.
After Lu Yuan took out the toy car, he began the final assembly, such as the battery, the USB flash drive that records the route, infrared rays, etc., and confirmed whether the cleaning spray on the front end of the wheel is good or not, so as to avoid losing the stickiness of the wheel because of too much dust.
"But...... I'm still skeptical, do you just want to go to the women's bathroom? Ah Li asked as he watched Lu Yuan fiddle with his little toy.
"Of course not." Lu Yuan replied.
"Then why don't you go to the men's bathroom?"
"You're a girl, standing at the door of the men's toilet and helping me stop someone, it looks suspicious, okay?"
"It's suspicious now...... too," Ah Li said lightly.
The brother and sister chatted like this, and after a while.
"Alright."
Lu Yuan raised his head.
Then he took the toy car and walked into the women's bathroom.
