Chapter 6: Five Minutes Away and the New World
"Welcome to Floating City 0371."
When this mechanical voice came to Bai Siyi's ears along with a noisy noise, Bai Siyi's mind still echoed the last words of the middle two.
"My name is Ji Aimu, mugwort, mugwort bathed in the spring breeze, don't make a mistake!"
Bai Siyi admitted that he was struck when he heard the name. In her limited game time, GM should be considered a very remarkable character in the game. Not to mention modifying the data in one second or something, at least it should be a person with a normal brain and a milder personality, not such a second-class image.
With such a middle two as GM, the last bit of beautiful fantasy of Bai Siyi's pair of games disappeared in an instant.
"Seek to form a team, and the veteran players who survived 35 dungeons will find a five-person squad."
"Freshly baked ginseng fruit can be supplied in large quantities for a long time, so you can add friends if you need it."
"Oh, my wheels, who has no heart to step on my wheels." Then there is a classic national curse.
…
Bai Siyi was pulled back to his senses by the noisy shouts in his ears, and hurriedly manipulated the corpse to light up the surrounding environment.
The sky was a clear blue, and there was not a single cloud. At this time, the sky is just right, and obviously, the time here is different from the beginner's training ground.
In front of it is a huge square with almost no edge. The square floor is paved with smooth white square stone bricks, and countless people walk in and out of the square, or stand and shout. At the center of the plaza is a multi-tiered white platform, each of which is smaller than the one below. It is reminiscent of a multi-tiered wedding cake. On the top layer of the cake was a dancing figure, so far away that only the corpse's eye could see that the figure had long green hair. Each layer of the cake is surrounded by many small black dots. It's like a swarm of ants surrounding this huge wedding cake, ready to move the cake whole, but you don't know where to start.
There will be a flower bed every ten meters in the square, and a park bench will be placed next to it. There will also be a beautiful black street lamp next to the bench. These facilities are arranged in a radial pattern around the white cake in the center, and you can imagine what the square will be like when it gets dark.
Bai Siyi was stunned by the impact of this prosperous scene in the world. She had just come out of an empty town full of killings, and she suddenly came into contact with so many living and peaceful human beings, and this huge contrast made her feel awkward beyond words.
"Hey, I said what you want to do when you stand here and don't leave, are you waiting for death!" Bai Siyi's body was suddenly hit from behind and almost fell. Fortunately, she kept pulling her body tightly with the corpse's arm, which avoided the fate of falling to the ground.
Bai Si turned around and looked at the person who had just complained.
This is a middle-aged woman rubbing her shoulders. This middle-aged woman has a slightly yellow complexion, a thin figure, and is wearing a wrinkled black aunt skirt, looking like she has experienced a lot of wind and frost, but it can still be seen from her charming face that she must have been a beauty when she was young.
At the same time, Bai Siyi found that he had come out of a huge light gate. The center of the Gate of Light was constantly rotating, and some of the same colorful points of light as in the path of return were disappearing into the depths of the Gate of Light with the vortex. There was no way to estimate the height of this light gate, at least she needed to tilt the corpse's head to the top to see the top of the light gate. As for the width of this light gate, Bai Siyi shook the head of the corpse left and right, feeling that it was no problem to pass through a hundred people at the same time. And there are also some players around her who are walking out or walking into the light gate.
Therefore, this middle-aged woman had just come out of the door, and unfortunately bumped into Bai Siyi, who was observing the environment. Judging by the width of this light gate, this woman is really unlucky.
Although the middle-aged woman's attitude was a little bad, Bai Siyi still said sorry in a low voice.
The middle-aged woman didn't seem to expect Bai Siyi's good temper, and she was stunned for a moment and began to look at Bai Siyi. A few seconds later, when she saw the appearance of Bai Siyi and the corpse clearly, she suddenly let out a loud inhalation sound from her mouth.
"Little girl, you and this, uh... People, it's really miserable. Newbie, right? The middle-aged woman scratched in the air, took out a red cloth, put it on her arm, and took out a small red flag in the same way and grabbed it in her hand.
Bai Siyi was not going to answer this woman's words, she didn't have time to make small talk to a passer-by right now. She still remembered Ji Aimu's suggestion that she should find the hospital now to deal with her injuries.
Seeing that Bai Siyi didn't answer, and looked like she wanted to turn around and walk away, the middle-aged woman hurriedly stopped Bai Siyi.
"Little girl, I don't mean anything, I just think you might need a tour guide right now. Look, how am I, I'm an officially registered tour guide in Floating City, I have a certificate. The middle-aged woman shook the red armband on her arm. Only then did Bai Siyi notice that this red piece did not have an island-like pattern, and the three letters FKC were embroidered underneath. That's right, it's FKC, not KFC.
Bai Siyi hesitated, now she really needed someone who knew what it was like to float to lead the way. So she gave up the idea of leaving immediately, and asked the middle-aged woman with some trepidation: "How to calculate the cost?" ”
The middle-aged woman immediately showed a bright smile and replied, "5 points an hour, from an hour." Rest assured, there is absolutely no shopping in between. ”
Just when Bai Siyi was fooled into the car by a middle-aged woman, a young man's figure appeared in the return road floating with colorful points of light.
The boy was obviously not yet tall, and his soft black hair was meekly attached to his head. His skin was pale, with a sense of sickness, but there was a shy smile on the corner of his mouth.
He kept fiddling with a colored hair rope in his hand, which should belong to a young girl, and I don't know where this boy got it. His pockets were bulging, too, and there seemed to be a glass bottle stuffed inside. As he moved, the spheres in the bottle kept hitting the glass bottle, making a subtle sound.
The boy saw his surroundings clearly, and was also confused by this dreamlike sight. A soft murmur came from his mouth.
"It's beautiful!"
The boy just sighed and quickly came back to his senses. Before Ji Aimu opened his mouth to urge, he found the direction of the white light and walked forward.
The boy walked over to the red desk and quickly noticed the faint shadow of a human figure on the chair. This time, Ji Aimu did not sit in the middle two posture of throwing his legs on the table, but kept supporting his head with his arms and leaned on the table, looking very bored.
Seeing the young man walking to the table, Ji Aimu spoke weakly: "If you have any questions, ask them quickly, and if there are no problems, hurry up and go to the back." ”
The young man seemed to be very interested in the shadow of this figure, and carefully observed Ji Aimu for a while before revealing a shy smile, and asked a little embarrassedly: "I have a souvenir that I want to keep, what should I do?" With that, he pulled the glass bottle out of his pocket.
Ji Aimu suddenly sat up straight as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and let out two "tsk" sounds with some excitement.
In the bottle, a pair of black eyeballs belonging to humans stared at the void in a stunned manner.
Bai Siyi felt that the tour guide fee she paid was still worth it. Because this middle-aged female tour guide didn't stop talking all the way, she nagged and introduced every incident encountered on the road. Although her words are always mixed with some of her exclamations and evaluations, they still let Bai Siyi gain a lot of information.
For example, Bai Siyi knew that the white wedding cake in the center of the square was a forum, and if you wanted to inquire about it, you could go there. The female guide's evaluation of it is that it is one of the most popular places for players, but there will be a lot of boring people filling the water. The female tour guide also kindly instructed Bai Si a few words, telling her not to believe the information on it casually.
Bai Siyi followed behind the tour guide, feeling that his imagination in his life had been used up. Especially when they walked out of the confines of the square and onto the main road that floated into the air. Every building on the side of the road is attracting the attention of others in its own way, and every time Bai Siyi guesses the function of a building, he often hears a contrarian explanation from the mouth of the female guide.
For example, the giant cactus that kept waving red fist gloves, Bai Siyi thought it was a boxing ring or something, but the female tour guide said that it was a famous Chinese medicine physiotherapy hall, and the acupuncture treatment in it was very popular.
"This is a chain of cat-nosed feces. Let me tell you, this restaurant is full of games, and I heard that it tastes very good. You won't die if you don't eat in the game, but if you have money, you can still enjoy it. The female guide pointed to a chicly five-story building on the side of the road with a small flag. When the female tour guide said these words, she also subconsciously licked her chapped and peeled lips, obviously recalling the taste of the restaurant meal. "After all, we are human beings, and the habits of so many years cannot be changed. It's just that the price of this restaurant is a bit expensive, and it's hard to kill someone, and there is nothing left for a meal. ”
Bai Siyi turned his head in the direction she was pointing. In that direction, a five-story building in the shape of a poop stands there, with a sign painted with a small hamster with bulging cheeks. Below is written in flower script the five words "cat nose feces restaurant".
Bai Siyi doubted, would anyone really have the courage to enter such a building and enjoy a big meal? This tour guide can't be a publicity fee, right?
Suddenly there was the sound of a large object flying low overhead, and a woman's excited scream was heard. Passers-by around them looked up, and many of them whistled.
Bai Siyi also looked up, only to see a woman with golden curls and a long white skirt, standing at the feet of a large humanoid mecha, holding the mecha with one hand, and pressing the long skirt blown by the wind with the other hand, constantly screaming with excitement.
Bai Si suddenly remembered the classic shot of Marilyn Monroe being blown up by the wind in the movie.
The female tour guide snorted coldly with disdain: "The young man now, it's really indecent." In order to be in the limelight, you can do anything. I said, "Little girl, I don't think you are this kind of person, and you don't want to learn from the people in the game in the future." ”
Bai Siyi felt that he should not be able to do such a thing, so he nodded very simply.
The female guide received an affirmative answer and immediately showed a very satisfied smile.
The heavenly woman screamed and went away, and the pedestrians began to return to their journey. Bai Siyi and the female tour guide also continued to walk in the direction of the hospital named by Bai Siyi.
Just when Bai Si was listening to the various explanations and gossip of the female guide with relish, at the intersection in front of him, something happened again. There was a group of black-robed people who were constantly pulling passers-by, as if they were shouting something to those passers-by. Those black-robed people were wearing a strange mask and couldn't see their faces, and one black-robed person was constantly swaying white pieces of paper from his body. All this looks like a cult is propagating its teachings.
The female guide noticed the situation ahead, immediately took a breath of cold air, pulled Bai Siyi and the corpse around, and walked on another road.
"Little girl, let me tell you, there are so many strange organizations in this game. There's always someone who comes up with something inexplicable, and a bunch of people with brain diseases follow suit. If you see this kind of person again in the future, you will have to take a detour, if you are entangled by them, it is estimated that we will be here all day. I'm a conscientious tour guide, I don't want to charge you a low-speed subsidy fee."
Bai Si suddenly felt that this female tour guide was a little kind. I want to say thank you, but I don't know how to say it.
But unexpectedly, the female guide suddenly stopped in front of a series of buildings. The female guide turned around and stretched out her hand to Bai Siyi with some embarrassment.
This area of architecture is decent, all the buildings are clean and tidy on the outside, and surrounded by all kinds of strange buildings, it seems abnormal.
Bai Siyi looked at the female guide suspiciously, not understanding what she meant.
The female tour guide saw that Bai Siyi didn't understand what she meant, so she had to rub her two fingers a few times and make a gesture of counting money. The middle-aged female guide's charming face also blushed slightly.
Bai Siyi raised his eyebrows and asked, "This is the hospital?" ”
The female guide lowered her head and replied embarrassedly: "Yes, this is the hospital." ”
Bai Siyi sighed: "It's only been five minutes since I left, right?" And that's not the path you wanted to take me on just now. ”
The female tour guide suddenly became anxious, her whole face wrinkled into a bun, and she defended: "Can I be blamed for this?" A place like a hospital must be a place that is easy for players to find! Originally, I wanted to take you around a few times to make up enough for an hour, and whoever let those cultists preach here, if you want to blame them, blame them. After speaking, the female tour guide herself was persuaded by herself and became confident.
Bai Si looked at the female guide's dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and he didn't know what kind of response to give except for sighing. She just felt that it was a good habit to turn the word thank you in her stomach a few more times and then say it.
Under the guidance of the female tour guide, Bai Siyi spent the first amount of points in his life. The process of transferring points is surprisingly simple, just mentally recite the number you want to give, then make physical contact with the other person, and give an affirmative answer when a mechanical voice in your head asks if you want to confirm it.
After receiving the fee, the female guide disappeared into the crowd. There wasn't even time left for Bai Si to ask her name.
Bai Siyi was silent for a few seconds, then turned and walked towards the hospital.
Indeed, it was a meeting in Pingshui, so why leave a name.
In this way, Bai Siyi and the first stranger he met after entering the game were separated, and he may never see each other again.
