Chapter 1: The Otherworld
"Knock, knock!"
The sound of clear, heavy footsteps came from the depths of the dark streets, like a rolling thunder.
In the center of the wide street, there is a huge stone sculpture, the stone sculpture is in the form of a swordsman holding a long sword, the long sword is pointed directly at the vast night sky, and a little starlight falls on this long sword, shining light.
"Whew." Beneath the statue was a young boy of about eighteen years old, his left hand propped up on the ground, his whole body reclining against the cold statue, panting heavily.
He was scarred and had a striking scarlet patch on the corner of his mouth.
"That's ...... The first day. The boy muttered, his face full of helplessness.
Footsteps are getting closer.
In the dark night, a tall figure slowly appeared.
It was a skeleton draped in a black robe, about five meters tall, with an evil black qi wrapped around the white skeleton, and its empty eyes revealed a strange dark green.
Looking at this evil creature, the boy wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, braced himself up, picked up an iron long sword beside him, and rushed over with all his strength.
The skeleton creature slowly raised its palm, and a cloud of black energy quickly condensed.
"Bang!" Black energy waves burst out suddenly, covering the boy's entire body in an instant.
After the energy dissipated, only a tattered iron longsword remained on the ground.
Under the dark night, a little drizzle suddenly fell, and the statue of the swordsman looked lonely and sacred under the night rain.
The skeleton creature turned away, its heavy steps fading into the night.
"You've been knocked out and put to sleep."
A gentle voice sounded in Jun Ziyang's mind.
The sound was familiar, and so was the softness that surrounded him, but he didn't like the feeling.
I don't know how long I've slept this night.
A week later.
Jun Ziyang woke up in his bedroom.
The bedroom was small, with nothing but some essential furniture and nothing to fit in.
Lying on the bed, Jun Ziyang's heart moved, and a huge light blue virtual screen appeared in front of him.
This is like a huge web page, with a lot of sections and information classifications, and Junziyang clicked on the personal information column.
The information is as follows:

Belonging city: Z City.
Guild Affiliation: None.
City Contribution: 360.
Cumulative Creation of City Funds: 3000.

This is information for city residents in Junziyang.
He clicked on the copy record on the left page of the message and looked at the most recent copy record, which was a week ago, as follows:
Quest Name: City of the Dead.

Ranking: After 100,000, the specific ranking will not be counted.

"If it goes on like this, it will be almost impossible to open the pot." Jun Ziyang looked at the copy data of the Undead City and muttered to himself.
It has been three months since he crossed over, and this bizarre and different world has attracted Jun Ziyang and made him feel a headache at the same time.
It's a sci-fi world where games run mainly, and the whole world has been gamified to be both convenient and bizarre.
Convenient is the part of life, what you need, just a thought, open the system interface can be purchased, things directly into the personal backpack or warehouse, in one second, no need to pick up.
Everything you need in life can be purchased directly from the system interface, including water, electricity, food, etc.
The currency of this other world is called wealth value, wealth value is virtual, and like the game currency in the game, all transactions are completed with wealth value.
So where does the wealth come from?
This brings us to the bizarre side of this different world.
Wealth comes from the game dungeon, not only the wealth value, all the materials that keep a city running come from the game dungeon.
Water, food, basic building materials, minerals, energy resources, etc., are all produced in game dungeons.
It can be said that every city, except for the land, everything else that is built on the land comes from the game copy.
There is no need to explain too much about what the game copy is, anyone who has played the game knows it, and Jun Ziyang naturally understands it.
The only thing that is different from the normal game is that this is a real person entering the game copy, a real game copy.
Game dungeons aren't meant to be made on the fly.
There are a total of 20 cities in this different world, each of which is very large, and the names of the cities are listed in alphabetical order, from G to Z.
20 cities, which are randomly selected by the game system every once in a while, will enter the game dungeon, and the entire city will enter it together.
Entering a city in a game dungeon will temporarily disappear from the world until the end of the dungeon.
If you die in a game dungeon, you will be eliminated, and the person who will be eliminated will not die, but will go to sleep.
How do you wake up from sleep? There are two pathways.
First: When everyone in a city is eliminated in the game dungeon, then the game dungeon ends early, the sleep state is lifted, and the city returns to its original state.
Second: Finish the dungeon. There is a time limit for a copy of the game, which can be a week, three days, or half a month.
During this time, if someone in the city is not eliminated, and these people fight to the end of the specified time, then it is considered a victory, the game dungeon time is over, the sleep state is naturally lifted, and the city returns to its original state.
Game copies are extremely important to everyone in this other world, because almost everything in this world is made from game copies.
The first is the wealth value, which can be obtained by killing monsters in the game dungeon, or doing quests, picking up plots, and doing trade activities.
The second is supplies, which have to do with how everyone in a city behaves in the game dungeon.
Whenever a game copy is completed, the system will give a comprehensive rating of a city, and according to the score, the city will be rewarded with funds and basic materials.
Water, food, energy resources, etc. are all basic materials, which can only be rewarded by the system to the city, and there is no other source of obtainment.
There is water in the city, but it is not drinkable, there are fields, but it is impossible to cultivate, which is completely different from the world that Jun Ziyang lived in before, because these things can only be provided by the game system.
Therefore, game dungeons are extremely important for a city.
For individuals, naturally, too.
"Bang bang." There was a knock on the door.
"Don't rush, I'll go." Jun Ziyang said loudly.
The house was rented, and it was supposed to be rented a week ago, but at that time, it happened that Z City entered the undead city dungeon, so this matter has been delayed until today.
"Xiaojun, it's not the eldest sister urging you, I can't live in this rent for nothing, right? You have to know the difficulties of the eldest sister. Outside the door, the landlord's voice was heard.
"Got it." Jun Ziyang got up from the sofa and pushed the door open.
"There will be a date later." Jun Ziyang looked at the landlord and smiled slightly.
This world is convenient, let's move, you don't have to take anything, the basic utensils you need in life, such as cups, plates and other kitchen utensils, can be put directly into the backpack.
Ingredients can also be placed in a backpack.
There is no large furniture to put down, but Junziyang does not have either, when he rented this house, he didn't bring any furniture.
"Xiaojun, you have to take care, if you really can't stand the hardships, come back to the eldest sister, and the eldest sister will help you find a way!" The landlord's voice rang out in the distance.
"Thanks."
The gentleman didn't reply.
