Chapter 20: The City of Dreams

“.... Are you ready, I'll take you to test the water tonight. Ye Yuxuan lay on the bed in the dormitory, thinking back to what Su Mu said at the time, and quietly waited for the arrival of nine o'clock in the evening.

Speaking of which, the dinner ended up being Su Mubo's order, although it was only two points in total. After paying the bill, Su Mu left first because he had other things to do, and agreed to wait for Ye Yuxuan at the starting square at ten o'clock in the evening, and then Ye Yuxuan returned to the room with Ye Lan because he had nothing to do.

The parcels of goods purchased in the afternoon have already been delivered, and these goods are transported upstairs through the freight elevator, and then sorted by the automatic robotic arm, and enter the room through the cargo channel, which eliminates the need for the delivery person and the step of signing. Of course, this system must have its security measures, and in short, it is unlikely to be used to carry out a bomb attack.... Probably.

Cleaning up the pile of items took them a lot of time, and by the time everything was ready, it was almost there. Ye Yuxuan has been consulting some information since then, recalling various combat techniques, until now.

The countdown gradually decreases, three, two, one, zero! The time has come, however .... And nothing happened .... Leaving Ye Yuxuan with a confused expression: "What is it?" What about playing with me?"

Ye Yuxuan reacted at this time, he had just entered school today, where would the system assign him a training task, and he had to take the initiative to connect to enter the dream connection system.

As soon as his thoughts moved, a prompt window resurfaced, but this perspective looked as if it was attached to the ceiling: "An additional dream connection is about to be unplanned, are you sure?" ”

Ye Yuxuan pressed the confirmation button without hesitation, and at the same time wanted to shout: "Lincoln, die big!", but he was afraid of Sister Ye Lan, who was arguing to the side, and then was beaten violently, so he had to swallow back.

It seemed that the implanted lens was starting to work, Ye Yuxuan felt that his eyelids became heavy, and his consciousness gradually blurred, and he fell asleep after a while.

I don't know how long it took, Ye Yuxuan felt that his consciousness was gradually rising, and it was pitch black all around. After a while, the illusory feeling faded away, and a breeze could be felt around me. Ye Yuxuan tried to open his eyes, and then the world returned to light.

Suddenly, his vision lit up, and he was already standing in another strange place. He looked down at his feet, stunned to find that he didn't have any feet, to be precise, his lower body was still slowly generating in a stream of blue data, a strange but also a strange feeling.

"The first connection will take a little time to fully generate and import the somatic model data, and you won't need it later, just wait, just a little bit." Su Mu didn't know when he was already standing next to Ye Yuxuan, and there were more people waiting in this empty square, as if they had an appointment with someone.

The import work was quickly completed, Ye Yuxuan moved his muscles and bones slightly, and quickly adapted to this virtual body, which was simulated and generated based on his own real body data after all.

He looked around at the rows of buildings around the square, and then looked up at the blue sky and bright sunshine..... It feels very harsh..... This real feeling made him sigh: "So we are living in a dream now." ”

"It may sound strange to come out of your mouth, but in a sense it is." Su Mu said with a subtle expression.

Ye Yuxuan carefully observed this dream city again, but he always felt as if he had seen it somewhere before, and when he compared it carefully, he couldn't help but ask Su Mu: "I said Su Mu, isn't this the city of Longinus?"

"Good eyesight!" Su Mu exclaimed, "That's right! This Dream City is a replica of the City of Longinus, which was usually called the 'City of Shadows' or 'World in the Mirror' in the last edition, and if you want to call it the World in the Mirror, it's all nicknames, not official names. ”

The towering buildings and wide roads around the square are just like they are in reality, except that there is significantly less traffic and pedestrians. If you look closely, you can see that most pedestrians have a slightly stiff behavior pattern. Because those are not real people, but NPCs controlled by AI.

Some areas in the distance are within the range of a translucent light film bubble, in which the number of "pedestrians" has increased significantly, and their behavior and demeanor are realistic, to the extent that it is difficult to distinguish between real and fake. It seems that these places are very important, because doing so will undoubtedly take up a lot of computing power on the server.

And upon closer inspection, it is not difficult to find that there are usually some foreign objects within the range of these bubbles that obviously do not belong here, which are summoned beasts with teeth and claws, and some people who are strangely dressed and behave suspiciously, who seem to be the so-called 'wizards'. And often there will be people around who look like they are obviously cadets who are fighting with them.

"What's that? Wizard invasion?" Ye Yuxuan pointed to the battlefield in the distance and asked Su Mu beside him.

"Don't worry." Su Mu smiled knowingly, "Those are all enemies simulated by data, and that is the commission scene I mentioned before, but the location of this commission is placed in the inner city." Most of the delegation scenarios are closed to the outside world, and only the person who receives the delegation can carry out it, and emergency tasks are different. ”

"Delegate a task? So what to do? Ye Yuxuan asked.

"That kind of thing is still far away, and we can't do it without some skill and experience. Let's go to the public enemy zone first. Su Mu said helplessly.

"Okay, first you have to choose which gun you want to use to smash the enemy down. Remember, it's not a joke!" After Su Mu finished speaking, he helped Ye Yuxuan open a window.

Ye Yuxuan looked at it, it was an online shopping mall that sold arms..... However, Ye Yuxuan flipped through it, and he couldn't buy anything, so he could only stare at his 2,000 points.

"Ah, I forgot." Su Mu patted his head, "You are not allowed to buy firearms without a gun qualification certificate or a corresponding certificate of proficiency of the trainees." Wait a minute, I'll take you to the test right away. ”

Another prompt popped up: "Upcoming transfer to the training ground, whether to confirm or not." ”

"Press it, or you won't be able to do anything here." Su Mu reminded at the right time.

When Ye Yuxuan pressed the button, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed, and in the blink of an eye, it became a spacious and bright white alloy room. The slightly illusory lower body is quickly generated in the data stream, and the feeling of this avatar data stream shuttling through the virtual space is really amazing.

Ye Yuxuan tried to find Su Mu's location, but found that he was actually floating four or five meters above his head.....

"Don't be so surprised." Su Mu smiled and said, "I'm just entering the guidance mode." The system allows veterans to guide newcomers through the assessment to save the system's AI resources. In this way, newcomers can pass faster, and veterans can also get a reward equal to double the number of exam points. A win-win-win situation, why not? ”

"Don't worry, with my guidance, I guarantee that you will pass at the first time, and now start preparing for the assessment." Su Mu gave an order, but he had the temperament of a small commander.
