Chapter Twenty-Eight: Little Huanhuan
Blue Star.
The transparent levitating track, like a water slide from centuries ago, connects the nine safe zones of the Federation.
Lin Chuan and Jing Xuan, who were sitting in the ordinary carriage, did not hide the curiosity on their faces at all, and they both looked at the rapidly retreating scenery outside the window.
Intercity air rail is a new product that has only emerged in the last five years, and in the dark years when the security zones were first established, each security zone was an island, and the military forces of each security zone could only barely cope with the dangers from the wilderness.
It wasn't until the advent of the floating fortress that the Federation had the ability to resist the attacks of mutated birds, completely clearing the low- and medium-altitude areas between the various security zones, and allowing the construction of a suspended orbit.
The White Eagle Forest outside the 9th District was cleared five years ago.
After seeing the familiar forest, Lin Chuan's eyes were a little dim.
Lin Chuan has long been accustomed to covering up his inner indifference with a gentle smile, he has always felt that his character is flawed, as if he was born with no understanding of what warmth is and what kindness is.
Before being picked up by Dean Wu, Lin Chuan was just following the instinct of biology and trying to live, indifferent to life and ignoring pain, like a snake that had frozen.
But Dean Wu, Ah Li, and Jing Xuan, the three farmers, never cared about the risk of being counterattacked, and used the purest kindness to melt Lin Chuan's cold shell.
If you are in the darkness all the time, you will not yearn for the light.
Lin Chuan coveted the light that shone into his life, even if he couldn't understand it, he still carefully guarded that little bit of warmth.
So since Dean Wu left, Lin Chuan has made his life plan early.
Make money, save tuition, and go to the ideal university, but he never thought about what he would do after passing the ideal university, as if this was the only way to give him a reasonable enough reason, a reason to leave the welfare home.
Although Lin Chuan didn't want to admit it, he really couldn't let go of the old church, as if as long as he was still there, he could wait for Dean Wu to come back one day, and wait until Ah Li came back.
But after meeting the hundred ghosts, Lin Chuan's plans were all disrupted, as if there was an invisible big hand that plucked the strings of his fate.
Lin Chuan touched the diamond-shaped mark on his chest, and all the nodes that drove the event flashed in his mind:
Starting from Jueling, the transfer of the floating fortress, the plundering of the hundred ghosts, the sudden appearance of the rest of his life, the destruction of Base 12, Wu Tian's rescue at one shot, and finally the familiar recitation in "Xianfan".
All of this is like an arranged script, and Lin Chuan, a marionette, is naturally sent to the transcendent road......
Xiaohua suddenly stretched out in Lin Chuan's hood, changed her comfortable position again, and fell into a deep sleep.
Lin Chuan put his hand behind his head, gently rubbed Xiaohua's head, there was a little more light in his eyes, and gave up the trace, no matter what, it was a good thing to be able to see Ah Li and Dean Wu again.
……
Jing Xuan didn't think about it so much, he was tired of seeing the scenery, so he learned from the big brother next to him, and asked the bionic flight attendant for a drink, and after knowing that it was not free, he decisively put the drink back, not caring about other people's eyes at all.
He is a character who is not stingy, and he can adapt quickly no matter where he is.
"What do you want? It's been three hours and it's ready to go live. ”
Jing Xuan put on the brain-computer frame as he spoke.
Xianfan's anti-addiction system is very user-friendly, although it is stipulated that each time it is online is often eight hours, but as long as the interval is three hours, it can be online again.
However, most people will choose to go online at night, because after connecting to the brain computer, the brain is actually in a moderate sleep, although playing Xianfan will have some physical exertion, but it can also be regarded as a kind of rest.
As for the daytime, students need to go to school, employees also need to go to work in the company, and even if they enter the metaverse, they are all working or studying, and only a small number of people who have money and time will play games.
After all, in the eyes of the public, no matter how real the game is, it is just a pastime.
As soon as Lin Chuan thought of the 60,000 yuan price of the brain machine, those doubts in his heart disappeared in an instant, and he quickly put on the brain computer frame, and at the same time demarcated the backpacks of the two of them in a security alert area.
In this way, as long as someone touches a person or object in the safety warning area, the brain-computer will automatically warn.
Although there is nothing of value in the bag, it is better to have more than one thing, and there are still 7 hours of empty rail to reach the eighth district, Lin Chuan is ready to use this time to pass the perverted trial.
[Welcome to the world of immortals.] 】
This time, Lin Chuan's virtual character did not enter the palace, but appeared directly in the trial area.
The familiar sound of breaking the air sounded, Lin Chuan subconsciously used an instantaneous step and left the place, thousands of deaths had already made him form a muscle memory, and he spent 30 seconds in the rain of arrows without suspense.
Before Lin Chuan was kicked off the line, he had held on to 54 seconds.
After three hours of rest, Ling and Dark had already quickly relieved the soreness of Lin Chuan's leg muscles, this time avoiding Lin Chuan was like divine help, and when the wall of arrow feathers appeared in the last few seconds, Lin Chuan lay straight on the ground.
[Congratulations to the player for passing Trial 1 and obtaining the title "Arashi Shadow", with a base movement speed +5]
[Do you want to start Trials 2?] 】
Looking at the prompt box in front of him, Lin Chuan clicked "no" without hesitation, he was already fed up with the word "should", and just wanted to enter the game quickly.
It's a pity that Lin Chuan clicked for a long time, and the prompt box did not dissipate, still blocking his eyes, Lin Chuan thought that there was something wrong with the brain computer, so he clicked "yes" easily.
As a result, the world in front of Lin Chuan's eyes began to change in an instant.
[Trial 2, begin.] 】
As soon as the prompt sound of the system fell, before Lin Chuan could see where he was, he only felt that his feet slipped, and the word "should" appeared in front of his eyes again.
[Countdown to Resurrection 4.3......]
Lin Chuan, who was in the state of soul, quickly digested his aggrieved emotions and began to seriously look at the surrounding scene, but he didn't find his corpse, only saw a sea of fire.
The resurrection time was coming soon, Lin Chuan tensed his body, and in the second of resurrection, he directly used an instantaneous step, no matter what, it was always right to run first.
But Lin Chuan immediately regretted it, because he actually rushed directly into the sea of fire.
Although the word "should" in front of him was very annoying, Lin Chuan finally figured out the content of the trial of this level.
[Resurrection Countdown 4.3.2.1]
This time, Lin Chuan did not act rashly, but stood firmly on top of the two balls, and around him, there was an endless sea of fire.
At the same time, he finally saw the countdown in front of him.
60.59.58……
It seemed that as long as he could hold on for a minute, he would be able to pass this level of the trial, but when there were 50 seconds left in the countdown, the ball under his feet suddenly spun, and Lin Chuan didn't pay attention to it, and fell into the sea of fire again.
"The"
……
……
Two hours passed, and the countdown in front of Lin Chuan finally returned to zero, and a flat open space finally appeared under his feet.
Those two balls did not recognize the law at all, and they could spin or move at any time, and Lin Chuan could only rely on his reflexes and balance ability to keep his body stable.
But in the state of high temperature, Lin Chuan's attention was difficult to concentrate, so he stayed up for two hours before he saw the countdown return to zero in the state of a one-word horse.
[Congratulations to the player for successfully passing Trial 2, Fire Attribute Resistance +2]
It's a pity that he didn't get any title this time, only two resistances.
Lin Chuan still didn't understand what those attribute points were for, because he hadn't really entered the Immortal World yet.
Fortunately, this time the system did not appear a new prompt box, but notified Lin Chuan that he finally got the admission ticket for Xianfan.
[Entering the Ninth Novice Village, the spawn location is being randomized, please set the character ID.] 】
"Lone Wood."
[Ask the player to set a character image.] 】
"No change."
[The initial rating of the character is ...... E+, the map teleport begins. 】
When the system gave the evaluation, it was obviously frustrated, but this rating did not surprise Lin Chuan's expectations, if the D-grade evaluation was so easy to get, the 60,000 yuan would be too easy to come by.
Lin Chuan didn't believe that the ideal company would make a loss-making business, but the sudden feeling of weightlessness soon interrupted Lin Chuan's thoughts.
The light and shadow alternated, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Chuan was already in the wilderness, which was different from Jing Xuan's description of the novice village, he didn't see any thatched houses at all, only a hungry wolf with fangs.
Saliva dripped from the wolf's mouth, and the emaciated wolf's face wrinkled into hideous hills.
Lin Chuan seemed to have returned to the time when he lived in the wilderness, and before the hungry wolf pounced, he took the initiative to rush forward, facing the wolf as an animal, only by acting more aggressively could he have any hope of survival.
Most lone wolves hesitate when faced with an active attack by humans, but this one in front of them pounced decisively.
The attack method of the wolf is very simple, the first target of the attack is to bite the throat of the prey, but Lin Chuan has the advantage of height, coupled with the increase in speed of instantaneous steps, at the moment when the lone wolf jumped, Lin Chuan's elbow smashed on its head.
Taking advantage of the pain of the lone wolf, Lin Chuan pressed it under him and strangled its throat with his forearm.
It didn't take long for the hungry wolf to be silent, and Lin Chuan finally had a chance to catch his breath.
It's just that after killing the hungry wolf, Lin Chuan didn't hear any system prompts, and there were no items dropped under the wolf's corpse.
Lin Chuan got up and began to look for the system panel in the field of vision, but found nothing, no character attributes, no inventory, no system prompts, only a collapsed contact list in the lower right corner of the field of vision.
"People panel? Inventory? ”
Lin Chuan tried voice control again, but the system still didn't give any response.
"I'm quitting!"
Now the system finally pops up the prompt box.
[If you detect that the player is not in the safe zone, is it certain that you will be offline (there is a risk of death)?] 】
Lin Chuan reluctantly clicked "no", casually found a direction, and while complaining that this game was not playable at all, he began to explore the world of immortals.
But Lin Chuan didn't notice that the ID on his head had already turned blue.
……
On the other side, Jing Xuan returned to the novice village with only a few thatched huts with a white "punch to the stomach", walked straight to the village chief who was farming at the entrance of the village, and asked:
"Old man, is there a task for me?"
"Huh?"
Yao Daqing frowned and glanced at Jing Xuan, his gaze subconsciously stayed on his bald head for a second, and then shook his head.
"Then how do you get to the city?"
"Don't go, you can't get in without an identity."
Yao Daqing didn't raise his head to answer, then picked up the hoe, and let Jing Xuan say anything next to him, and didn't speak again.
"Lao Tzu found it himself."
Jing Xuan was a little depressed and pressed all the dirty words back into his stomach, although he was just an NPC, he wouldn't explode with the old man.
He didn't know which spawn point he was assigned to, and the dilapidated village was full of NPCs with blue names, and there wasn't a single player.
Seeing that the regional channels were all shouting and forming teams, he couldn't speak.
The bored Jing Xuan smoothly slashed open the inventory, dragged out the carcass of a brown bear, used it as a natural sofa, and lay on it.
The hoe in Yao Daqing's hand fell to the ground all of a sudden, even if it hit his feet, he didn't react, just looked at the brown bear under Jing Xuan in a daze.
"This bear...... Did you kill it? ”
"Ah, this thing is very resistant to beating, I fought for most of the night to kill it, if you don't, I can sell you, you see this bear has a lot of meat, enough for you to eat several meals."
This is the first time that an NPC has taken the initiative to talk to Jing Xuan, and he thought that he had triggered some mission plot, so he stood up very enthusiastically, like a hunter selling game, and began to sell the brown bear carcass behind him to the village chief.
But before he could finish speaking, Yao Daqing walked over with a hoe and two lines of tears on his face.
"It's okay, don't be moved, it's all a gesture to eliminate harm for the people...... Eh! ”
Before Jing Xuan finished speaking, the hoe in Yao Daqing's hand picked out an afterimage and smashed it directly into his head.
"The"
Jing Xuan, who turned into a soul state, looked at the word "should" in front of him blankly, and didn't figure out what was going on at all.
[Countdown to Resurrection 10.9.8.7......]
10 seconds passed quickly, and the resurrected Jing Xuan reappeared in the middle of the village, where Yao Daqing, who had just killed him in seconds, was holding the body of a brown bear and crying loudly.
"My little Huanhuan, ah......"
"Xiao Huanhuan?"
Jing Xuan's bald head was full of question marks, and Yao Daqing seemed to sense something, so he turned his head in an instant, staring at Jing Xuan with red eyes.
The old man didn't say a word, but rushed up with a hoe, and the wrinkles on his face were full of murderous energy.
"it!"
Jing Xuan saw that the hoe in Yao Daqing's hand brought out sparks on the ground, and he was so frightened that he turned around and ran.
But as soon as he turned around, the word "should" appeared in front of his eyes again......
