Chapter 1: Dead Space
When people are dying, it is inevitable that such topics come to mind.
What is it like to die, and what is our ultimate destination? Is it forever unconscious and confused until eternity, or is it going to hell in myths and legends to be reincarnated.
Or, to heaven!
No one can say for sure, because we are all alive.
……
Wang Chen stood calmly on a sandy beach, with the rough sea in front of him, surrounded by unconscious people lying on the ground. Men and women, yellows, whites, blacks...... He woke up three minutes ago.
"Is this hell?"
Wang Chen calmly looked into the distance: "Maybe it's heaven." ”
"But I felt that something was wrong. This place seems to be too ordinary......"
There was no fear in his heart, not even his own resurrection. He is a person who has already died once, and if a person is not even afraid of death, is he still afraid of living?
Swish.
A man appeared out of thin air, a young man with a fierce face, and he was dressed in a black suit.
The young man's muscles were knotted, and even when he was wrapped in thick clothing, he could not hide his fierce aura. Even Wang Chen, who was now ten times the body of an ordinary adult, felt waves of threats like a storm on that person's body at this moment.
Wang Chen looked at him curiously, and the young man also looked at Wang Chen at the same time, and then he frowned.
"Senior?"
Veteran? Wang Chen quickly chewed the young man's words. There is too little information to analyze.
He shook his head calmly: "I don't know anything about this place. ”
A hint of surprise flashed in the young man's eyes, and he squinted and looked at Wang Chen carefully. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes, and then he didn't know what he thought, so he suppressed the thoughts in his heart.
"Yes." After he answered casually, he no longer cared about Wang Chen, but looked at the crowd lying on the ground, and found that no one showed signs of sobering for a while, so he casually found a piece of smooth bluestone by the sea and sat down quietly waiting for something.
Wang Chen saw that the young man did not speak, and did not take the initiative to greet him, and waited quietly as well.
"This strange youth should be able to explain what's going on here." Wang Chen thought so.
Time passed, ten minutes later.
"Hmm...... Where is this? A nice female voice suddenly came.
Wang Chen turned his head to look, and a young girl wearing white hot pants and a sky blue translucent floral top woke up.
"Dead Space." The young man's deep voice came.
Wang Chen and the young girl turned their heads to look at him at the same time.
"Who are you? How did I end up here? The young girl seemed to be very bold, and when she suddenly encountered such a thing, she did not panic at all, but spoke in a fierce tone, and questioned the young man who spoke up.
"When everyone wakes up, I'll tell you a qiē. I don't want to make meaningless repetitive explanations. Now, wait together. ”
The young girl raised her eyebrows and exclaimed, "I warn you, if you are a kidnapper, it is best to let us go at once." This is a serious case, and it's too late to stop it before anything happens yet......"
Wang Chen suddenly interjected: "You'd better not try to provoke him. ”
"Who are you? Why should I listen to you?! The girl turned her head to look at Wang Chen, her eyes widening.
"Like you, I don't know much about this place, and I've just come to my senses."
Wang Chen didn't know that this girl's courage came from, and she was so fierce in this situation, he said coldly: "If you died once not long ago and now come back to life, then you will know that the place we are where we are now is not simple. ”
"This is no ordinary kidnapping case."
He pointed to his head: "Not long ago, my head was shattered to pieces by at least seventeen or eighteen Barrett heavy sniper rifles, and now I am standing here unharmed and talking to you." ”
"Before I died, I was surrounded by at least a thousand elite soldiers who were heavily armed. But even all of these people combined, none of them gave me a stronger sense of threat than that man. Right now...... If you're still sticking to what you thought before, then whatever you want. ”
"Are you kidding? How is this possible! The young girl shouted.
Wang Chen sneered: "Believe it or not." Then he fell silent.
The young girl was completely stunned.
The young man kept looking coldly, didn't speak, and didn't even show much emotion. After Wang Chen finished speaking, he only glanced at him with more curious eyes.
After waiting for a while, the men and women lying on the ground came to their senses one by one.
Looking around, there was an unfamiliar environment, maybe some of them were at work, some were playing games, some were dating...... But in a blink of an eye, he has arrived in an unknown environment and woke up from his slumber.
Fear and helplessness made the crowd visibly dazed and flustered.
The young man finally moved, and he shouted, "Don't make any noise, now I will explain to you the environment you are in, and if you want to know what is happening to you, give me a quiet listen!" ”
"Who do you think you are? Dare you talk to me like that! A black man with knotted muscles and a height of two meters stood up, and he looked very angry. As he spoke, he walked and soon came to the young man: "I used to be an underground boxer, if you don't want to live in a wheelchair for the rest of your life, tell me what the hell this place is now!" Do you know how much money you're going to lose me tonight by getting me to this place?! ”
"Don't you kid want to live anymore?!"
Wang Chen was surprised to find that the black man actually spoke fluent Mandarin.
And at this moment, he had reached out to the young man and grabbed the collar of the young man's shirt.
"Why is it that every time the Lord God arranges a newcomer, he arranges a person like you." The young man seemed to sigh, and then his eyes suddenly became fierce.
"In my opinion...... The only use of a guy like you is to make other newcomers completely honest with me. Kill a hundred and make an example! ”
As his words fell, the temperature around him seemed to drop by a few percent.
"Fiuto......" The young man suddenly spat out a strange syllable.
Airplanes~~~~
Everyone around, including Wang Chen, seemed to be swept by some strange force at this moment, and then looked at the black man, who had been pinched by an invisible big hand and lifted him three feet above the ground.
The black man struggled, and suddenly one of his left hands seemed to be pulled apart by something, and then the arm twisted like a twist.
Rata - that thick arm was twisted in an instant.
Immediately, the black man was thrown four or five meters away, and the broken arm made him scream wildly, and there was a chilling fear in his eyes.
The crowd that had been noisy before suddenly fell silent.
The fear of mystery and the unknown, the loss of life threatened by Yan zhòng, made them dare not say a word of superfluous nonsense.
Wang Chen's pupils shrank, and the sense of oppression that the young man brought to him before was really not groundless.
What is it that cannot be seen by the naked eye, but the power that can subdue a strong man weighing at least 300 pounds lightly...... He took a breath of cold air.
"Good." The young man glanced at the frightened crowd with satisfaction: "Now, I have come to tell you why you are here. And here, and where! ”
"This is Dead Space, a place where as long as you can live, there are endless possibilities!"
"One that can make you very strong, become superhuman. But if you're not careful, you'll lose your life! ”
"You may have a lot of questions, but I don't have much time to explain them to you. As for the one thing here, close your eyes and think about it carefully, the Lord God should have transmitted a lot of information to your minds. ”
……
Wang Chen closed his eyes and thought about it, and sure enough, something that did not belong to his memory appeared in his mind.
Dead Space.
A magical area made up of an infinite number of fantasy worlds.
Those who can come here are all called reincarnators. Here you need to face a supreme being called the main god, who will give you incredible tasks, let you struggle to survive in a dangerous fantasy world, complete the task to get rewards, and if you can't complete it, you will die.
There is a qiē thing here that has the limit of the human brain's imagination, whether it is good food and wine, great power, eternal life, a qiē you can think of anything, as long as you have enough task reward points, you can exchange huàn with the main god.
It may be heaven here, but it's also hell.
Countless people have come here, and countless people have died in the mission world.
The resident population of Dead Space is almost 100,000, and every time the number of casualties is reduced to a certain limit, the main god will pull in a group of new people from the real world to replenish them, and the reincarnation will be tens of thousands of years, and the number of dead people is already countless......
The people who live here are murderers who walk on the cusp of the sword.
Even the most kind and good people in the real world will become executioners with bloody hands here, and there is no mercy here, only killing...... Wang Chen quietly let this information flow through his mind, and his eyes never brightened up as before, because he saw such an introduction on one of the messages.
"Some of the reincarnators who are constantly strengthening are getting stronger and stronger, and as long as they are finally approved by the main god, then the main god can fulfill one of his wishes......"
"Fulfill a wish, including resurrecting the loved one you most want to resurrect!"
I have to say that the ** from the Lord God really can't be refused. Especially for people like Wang Chen, who are obsessed with something, this is especially true.
This sentence completely inspired Wang Chen's fighting spirit, and he had a goal from this moment on, to live in the reincarnation space, and until he obtained the approval of the Lord God and resurrected his relatives.
……
When I opened my eyes, the youth was still in front of me.
Wang Chen already knew the identity of the young man in front of him at this moment, he was a novice guide temporarily arranged by the main god, but in essence, he still belonged to the reincarnation camp, but he was just a reincarnation veteran who had lived a long time longer than these newcomers.
The reason why young people are willing to act as novice guides is that they can get 500 task reward points after completing this easy job.
The Lord God gives money, and He helps.
"Okay, I think now that you know what's going on here, you can also ask any questions, and in a little while I'll open the door for you, and then you'll face your first beginner's mission."
"The difficulty of the novice quest is generally lower than that of the official quest world, and the survival rate is also higher. The most important thing is that as the first mission you have experienced in the reincarnation space, its mission rewards are also the most generous, whether it is the main quest or the side story, their rewards are two to three times higher than ordinary quests. If you hold on and survive, then this will be your most powerful capital for early survival. ”
The eyes of a group of newcomers were full of incredulity, and the information in their minds had almost upended their social cognition for decades, but some of them had already reacted, and their eyes lit up, as if they had thought of something very wonderful and happy.
A thin man who looked like a high school student suddenly shouted excitedly: "This is simply heaven, all kinds of fantasy worlds, a qiē can imagine the ability to exchange huàn, superhuman blood, Hulk blood, Tony's Iron Man suit, and even the sentinel bloodline with the power of a million suns can be exchanged huàn, am I dreaming, I must be dreaming, hahahaha......"
This is obviously a guy who has a soft spot for heroes in the Marvel world, maybe an otaku. Everyone here speaks fluent Mandarin, Wang Chen can't tell their nationality, think carefully about the power of the Lord God, maybe there is some kind of translation system beyond his imagination that is constantly removing the barriers to dialogue between them.
"This state of free dialogue without borders is very convenient."
"But this high school student apparently thinks things are too simple."
Wang Chen subconsciously glanced at the young man, and sure enough, he saw that he was secretly sneering.
At the moment, most people are not even aware of the dangers of those mission worlds, and some people are as excited as high school students to discuss their favorite fantasy world things.
Wang Chen naturally won't participate in this kind of thing, he has already come to the front of the people.
Pointing to a black electronic watch on his wrist, Wang Chen said: "Can you explain this thing, the information instilled by the main god is too messy, and I don't remember that I had this watch before." ”
Hearing Wang Chen's words, some people also turned their heads to look over, and when they saw that they also had the same black watch in their hands, they all quieted down, and their ears were puffed up, quietly waiting for the young man's explanation.
Naturally, the young man did not hide anything, because it was his task.
The young man cracked his mouth: "Of course. ”
"This kind of watch is called the Death Mark, the main god issues a mission, the only voucher for you to receive reward points, and there is also ten cubic meters of storage space in it that allows you to carry some weapons, clothing, and daily necessities."
"What happens if it's damaged?" Wang Chen thought of a possibility.
The young man sneered: "This thing won't be broken, the form of the watch is just a watch form." Even if your hand is chopped off, it will randomly transfer to other parts of your body. This is the only proof that the Lord God controls all reincarnations. ”
"I see." Wang Chen nodded.
"Seeing that the green button on it is not, you can check your current body enhancement status after opening it, and the red button belongs to the task viewing option, as for the dark black one, you can find your current reward points, as well as side story items."
Backbite.
Wang Chen pressed the green button.
It represents his personal information and is indeed displayed.
[Wang Chen, male, 21 years old. 】
【Talent Bloodline: Zerg Master】
Main ability: Summons a female worm,???? (Ununlocked)
Sub-ability 1: Can create elite insect warriors no higher than their own health level, and the number is currently limited to ten. Appropriate grades of manufacturing materials are required.
Secondary ability 2: Super rejuvenating power, super strong mental power.
[Current Health Level: One]
"The ability to create Zerg warriors has been perfectly preserved." Wang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, which at least gave him a big starting advantage over other newcomers, and this advantage will become bigger and bigger as his ability is further improved.
No matter how strong others are, they are just fighting alone, but he is supported by a huge group behind him.
"I just don't know what this unlocked summoning mother worm ability looks like?"
"Is it similar to the main base of the Zerg in the game?"
Wang Chen continued to operate the buttons on the watch, and when he entered the red button, he found that it was blank inside, and there was no task prompt. Then press the dark black button, and there will be a number in the list representing the reward points and side plots.
Zero.
It means that he is now penniless.
Some people also began to follow suit when they saw Wang Chen's movements, and they also operated on their black watches. However, their life levels and character introductions are very different from Wang Chen.
As ordinary people, their death mark only shows their name, gender, and age.
The talent bloodline is naturally blank, and even the health level shows level zero.
Wang Chen couldn't see their information and naturally didn't know about it, and they also didn't know about Wang Chen's situation.
In fact, according to the ranking of life levels, there are hints in the basic information given by the main god, but this information is very messy, and if you don't spend a period of time studying carefully, you can't digest it in a short time.
After entering the dead space, ordinary newcomers will all be at level zero life.
The minimum threshold for a first-level life level is to reach or exceed ten times the average body quality of ordinary people.
Further up to reach the second level of lifeforms, it needs to be more than twenty times.
Wang Chen is now almost eleven times the body of an ordinary person, so his personal information shows a first-level life level. What he didn't know was that this state was even comparable to that of a junior senior reincarnation who had survived some mission worlds.
Although among the newcomers before, it is not uncommon for people to have a strong physique just after coming to Dead Space.
But the strongest initial attribute that has ever appeared is only 4 times the body element zhì of ordinary people. And that guy has now become a super veteran at the top of the entire Dead Space.
And the natural pedigree is even more unheard of for newcomers.
Especially with a bloodline like the Zerg Domination, the entire Death Space was theoretically impossible to appear in a reincarnation before, now, and in the future, let alone a newcomer...... This kind of ability to mass-produce Zerg warriors with the same combat power as his own level has even destroyed the balance of the rules formulated by the main god in a certain way.
Although Wang Chen didn't know his particularity yet, he also felt that he had an advantage over others.
At this moment, his whole temperament seemed to have changed a little, and it was a kind of self-confidence that seeped out from the inside out.
The young man seemed to be particularly interested in Wang Chen's reaction, and he suddenly said, "Are you interested in making a deal with me?" ”
"What?"
Wang Chen replied a little blankly, he was still thinking about the Zerg master just now, but he didn't expect the young man to take the initiative to talk.
"I'll give you 1000 bonus points, and you owe me a favor from now on!"
Wang Chen frowned: "Why do you want to do it, I'm just a newcomer, and you are a veteran, and we didn't have a relationship before." ”
The young man smiled abruptly: "It's just a matter of luck, you are the strongest newcomer I have ever seen, I can feel the surging power in your body, I am afraid that you have reached the first level of life level, as a newcomer who has just entered the death space from reality, this is really incredible." I know you may have a secret, and I won't ask. ”
"To put it bluntly, you have value worth my investment. People like you, if there are no accidents, are destined to grow up quickly in dead space and go further than me. ”
"Oh?" Wang Chen didn't expect the young man to say this, he said with great interest: "You have so much confidence in me? What if I die in a mission world? And your eyes seem to be sure that I will promise you? ”
The young man said, "You are a smart man. ”
"The newcomer's first mission world has a high reward, and when you get these reward points from me, you can naturally prepare for more ample entry. It will inevitably get a higher value harvest. 1000 bonus points is not much for veterans, but it is a good initial amount of money for newcomers. ”
"My request is very simple, it's just that you owe me a favor, you don't lose, and I don't lose either."
"On the contrary, I also have to bear the cost of accidents. You also said that what if you die? You see, my bonus points may be down the drain. I have so much confidence in you. Shouldn't you also say a little ......" The young man seemed to have turned into a profiteer at this moment, and Wang Chen in front of him was a dusty diamond.
Wang Chen took a deep breath, he was a little moved, but he still said: "I don't like to owe favors to others. ”
"There is a first time for everything." The young man thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Then let's change the word." In the future, if you grow up, you will have to help me once when I am in crisis. ”
Wang Chen still shook his head: "If it's a mortal crisis, my life is not so cheap." ”
"Cunning fellow." The young man finally had nothing to say, and he said weakly: "What if you help me once at the cost of your own danger?" ”
"Deal!"
Hearing Wang Chen's answer, the young man was obviously very happy.
He said, "In that case, let's sign a contract." ”
There are many kinds of contracts, and they are the only way to maintain trust between reincarnators in the dead space. In the presence of the Lord God, once a contract has been signed between two or more reincarnators, then according to the terms of the contract, both parties must fulfill each other.
If it is violated, the Lord God will personally wipe out the defaulting party.
Wang Chen had seen this information when he had scanned the information in his mind before, so he didn't ask much at the moment, so he agreed.
Crash.
A contract scroll appeared out of thin air, suspended in the air between the young man and Wang Chen.
At this moment, the contract has been written, Wang Chen looked at it carefully, there was no trap, it was the same as what the young man said before, so he signed it, the two left their names on the contract with each other, and the main god monitored it, so he naturally recorded this scene, and then the contract disappeared into the air without a trace.
And the reward points promised by the youth also came as promised.
"Reincarnation Zhao Kunhai transferred 1,000 reward points to your name."
"It turns out that your name is Zhao Kunhai." Wang Chen looked at the young man.
"What about you?" The young man raised an eyebrow.
"Wang Chen."
……
Next, under the guidance of the young man, Wang Chen successfully opened the huàn space.
There are not many things in the novice-level exchange room, but it is enough for Wang Chen.
"Super alloy plates, bionic muscle fibers, high-concentration nutrient solution, energy heart, artificial brain ......" were exchanged one by one, these are all materials for Wang Chen to make junior Zerg warriors, and in terms of quality, they are better than the materials on the earth, and the most important thing is that they are not as rare as when they were on the earth, on the contrary, they are very cheap......
In the end, Wang Chen had enough materials to make five Zerg warriors, and the 1,000 bonus points were already consumed before they could be warmed up.
……
Crash.
A dark blue door of light appeared on the seashore.
The young man said to everyone: "This is the portal of the novice mission, you enter in turn, and you will be randomly teleported to some fantasy world of low-intensity combat. The Starter Mission is a single-player mission where you have to fight on your own. Regardless of the way of fighting, use your brains more, don't be kind to women, and I wish you good luck. ”
"You're leaving?" Wang Chen said.
The young man smiled: "Yes. ”
Then he shouted to the sky, "The newbie guides the mission to completion, and requests to return." ”
A similar door of light appeared in front of him, except that it was crimson.
The young man lifted his leg and walked inside the door.
"Wait!" Suddenly someone shouted.
Wang Chen saw it, but it was the fierce young girl before.
The footsteps stopped, and the young man was a little unhappy: "What's the matter?" ”
"I can owe you a favor too, no, two." The young girl said, "You can also give me 1,000 bonus points." ”
The young man sneered: "No! ”
"Why!" The young girl couldn't accept it, she pointed to Wang Chen next to her: "You obviously gave this guy 1000 reward points, why don't you refuse to trade with me if I pay double the price?" ”
"You're different." The young man snorted coldly.
"Not every newcomer is worth investing in."
"Okay." The young girl gritted her teeth: "Then let's change the conditions, you give me 1,000 reward points, and I will pay you back three times after completing the novice task." Didn't you say that the newbie quest has rich rewards, I just checked it out, and even if you only complete the main quest, you will have at least 1000 reward points to get. The reward for the newbie task is two or three times, so it shouldn't be a problem for me to come out with 3000 reward points. ”
"You're right, but I still don't want to trade with you." The young man sneered: "The novice task is indeed relatively simple, but the newcomer who has just entered the dead space is even more vulnerable. Do you know what the mortality rate is for newbie quests? Every time a newcomer enters, thirty percent of them can survive, which is already good. I have confidence in Wang Chen, which does not mean that I also have confidence in you. ”
"Goodbye." After the young man finished speaking, he did not wait for the young girl to react, and stepped into the red portal without hesitation. The portal disappeared into the seashore like an afterimage after the TV was turned off, and the young man was gone.
He's gone.
The young girl froze.
The mighty voice of the Lord God also came from the air.
"The novice guide is completed, and all the newcomer reincarnators enter the task space in turn to carry out the first novice task."
