"Smack!"

Zero eyebrows looked at Ning He crookedly, revealing tiger teeth and dimples, and she snapped her fingers crisply.

In Ninghe's vision, the white space and the woman in front of him began to become distorted, his consciousness was heavy, and his eyelids slowly closed.

He was plunged into a world of darkness.

When he woke up again, Ning He smelled the smell of grass crumpled in the dirt, he opened his eyes, and the snow was white in front of him, and he raised his hand to support himself and stood up.

His vision gradually recovered, and he saw a towering wood, and he had just fallen to the ground, his hands and feet still stained with mud.

He didn't pat the dust off his clothes for the first time, but looked around, his body tense and slightly stiffened.

Alone in the unfamiliar woods, Ning He knew very clearly that the most important thing to do now was to make sure that there was no danger around him.

He picked up a branch from the ground, with many branches and green leaves, and turned it more like a broom.

Ning He was helpless, and he didn't see anything around him.

Half a minute passed, and his body relaxed. There was only the sound of trees rustling in the wind, and there were no threatening creatures around.

【Ding Dong!】 】

A very abrupt prompt sound sounded in his ears, Ning He was startled, and he unconsciously waved the "broom" with green leaves in his hand.

Waited two seconds.

The familiar system sound sounded in his ears, and Ning He was not surprised at all. At the same time, in his field of vision, a picture scroll unfolded.

Above the scroll are the distant universe and endless stars, which shimmer with their own light against the background of the dark universe, some of them are dim, some are bright, some are bright, some are monotonous and simple.

Ning He looked a little distracted.

Since he was a child, he has looked up at the starry sky more than once and again, and when he looks at the starry sky, countless reveries will always arise, but he has never been able to see the universe so clearly and delicately. Whether it is Canglan Star or Baiyun Star, the light of human beings is too dazzling, dazzling enough to rob the stars of their brilliance at night.

He had crossed galaxies in a spaceship, but he had never seen anything like it.

Each of the shining stars and various celestial nebulae on the scroll outlines a magnificent picture.

[The distant past, the present that stays, the vague future. 】

The tone turned into a deep old man, who slowly told a story through the ages in Ning He's ear.

Ning He could hear it, and he didn't notice the bright eyes hidden in the grass behind him.

[In this universe, countless lives were born, they formed races, they built civilizations, they tried to explore the framework of the rules of the universe, walked on different civilizations, and saw different scenery on the roads......]

[It's just that the past is like smoke, and it can't be prosperous forever in a strong civilization.] After all, they are just inconspicuous splashes churning in the long river of time, blooming in an instant. 】

[There was once such a king, whose kingdom could glimpse the deserts of the universe, and whose sword could easily destroy a galaxy and extinguish the light of the stars. In its country, science and technology are flourishing, and its people are not troubled by life. Its name is "Civilization". 】

The old man's voice paused, and his tone began to grow a little heavy.

However, the king was not happy. 】

Ning He listened intently, and he knew that the key part was coming.

[The king has a daughter who has never smiled, and the king is distressed by this. It tried countless things, but it couldn't get her daughter to smile. 】

[Later one day, a mysterious being came to its kingdom, and the mysterious being, knowing the king's sorrows, told the king that if only the king could make a "crown of stars" for his daughter, he could use the bright stars of the universe as gems. When the crown of stars is worn by its daughter, the king's daughter will offer its brightest smile to the one who wears it. 】

Ning He looked at the changing light and shadow of the paper on the scroll, and his heart was a little terrified. Under the light and shadow against the background of the dark universe, the stars began to be dragged, and they were gradually connected into a closed loop.

It's like a sparkling necklace under the dark night sky.

[The king poured out his kingdom and created such a crown of stars......]

At the end of the scroll, a vague shadow representing the king appears in the universe, holding high the crown of stars. And from beginning to end, its daughter never appeared.

Both the picture and the old man's voice stopped abruptly, stopping at the moment when the king held aloft the crown of stars.

At that moment, a hundred stars were darkened, and there was only the king and the shining crown of stars in the universe.

“......”

Ning He waited for half a minute, and after confirming the end of the broadcast and prompt sound, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

What is the significance of this story?

Just when he was complaining in his heart, the prompt sounded again, but this time there was no advance warning of "Ding Dong".

[Welcome to OPEX, where you will be a Star Crown Hunter, shuttling through one virtual world after another to find the lost Star Crown fragments, and explore the secrets and "civilization" hidden behind the Star Crown.] 】

[The place you are in is World No. 1, which is the initial world of OPEX.] All players who are new to OPEX will be transported to this world, and players will have to obtain the world key through their abilities to open the door to the next world, and in this continuous cycle, they will find the Star Crown. 】

[OPEX does not have any mandatory play restrictions.] Note, however, that all players only have three chances to resurrect, and each resurrection will result in a fall to World One to start over. 】

[Have a nice trip, Star Crown Hunter, Peace.] 】

[Disclaimer: All worlds are constructed from the player's cross-brain impression content and the human civilization network.] If there is any similarity, it is purely coincidental. 】

The prompt fell, and Ning He's left wrist generated a metal ring out of thin air. When he focuses his gaze on the ring, a game panel will appear in his vision, showing some of his personal information and the number of times he has been resurrected.

There is also a faint line of handwriting at the bottom:

[Star Bracelet, a multi-functional smart device that every player has. 】

[Material: ??? 】

[Function: ??? 】

When the Xingchen bracelet was fully worn, Ning He felt a slightly cold touch, and the surface of the entire bracelet was round and shiny, giving people a silver-white metallic texture. He didn't feel any inconvenience when he wore it, and the bracelet itself seemed to have no weight.

There are three very eye-catching values on the Xingchen bracelet, and Ning He's eyes are fixed, these should be the key to whether he can go out.

[Number of Star Crown Fragments Owned: 0]

[Storyline cracked: 0%]

[World Level: 1]

"Ugh." Ning He sighed, glanced at it and withdrew his gaze. He looked around again, this time his gaze resting on the grass behind him.

In the bushes, a pair of bright and frightening eyes were staring at him, and Ning He felt a tingling in his scalp.

He hurriedly turned around, and the green leaf broom in his hand was pulled by him, and the green leaves on it rattled, and it looked like an unreliable weapon.

Ning He's forehead began to sweat, and he stared at the pair of bright inky vertical pupils, he could be very sure that they were not a pair of human eyes.

He thought of the world on the previous prompt, and the owner of the eyes in front of him might be a monster born in this No. 1 world.

Those eyes were about fifty centimeters above the ground, Ning He took a deep breath, his heart was beating strongly, and the palms of his hands holding the broom had begun to sweat.

There was a rustling sound in the bushes, and Ning He watched with bated breath as the creatures came out of the bushes.

It has strong limbs and a large, somewhat rounded head. The "monster" stepped out of the bushes and sat down five meters in front of him, one of its forelimbs supporting its upper body, the other slightly raised to its mouth. It stretched out its pink tongue and gently licked its paws as it looked at the human in front of it.

Ning He was awakened by this cat meow, he carefully looked at a large number of creatures in front of him, the more he looked at them, the more familiar they became, and the more they looked at them, the more wrong they became, his expression slowly stretched and became a little weird.

He tentatively said, "Meow? ”

"Meow~"

Ning He couldn't laugh or cry, the gray coat in front of him, and the creature with black and gray stripes all over his body, was actually a large tanuki.

A civet cat the size of a liger.

Ning Hegang breathed a sigh of relief, but he became nervous again, and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

The tanuki looked curiously at the human in front of it, its licking paws had stretched out from the meat pad, and Ning had a toothache when he saw it.

This is not the ordinary size of the tanuki in reality, the tanuki in front of him will drag a layer of skin if he does not die.

Just as the idea of escaping from his mind came to him, the rustling sound of rubbing came again from the bushes behind the tanuki.

An old man dressed in simple clothes with a brown beret on his head pulled open a branch and walked out of it, and he walked to the side of the tanuki with his hands behind his back.

When the giant tanuki saw the old man, it no longer licked its paws, but came to lie down in front of the old man, and the large cat head was still rubbing affectionately on the old man's lap. The tanuki's ears and fur already reach even the waist of the old man.

Looking at the intimate movements of the large tanuki in front of him, the corners of Ning He's mouth twitched, and there was some impact. However, he had vaguely more expectations for this so-called No. 1 world.

"I'm the chief of this forest, Gu Brown Mo." The rickety old man's voice was a little hoarse in the vicissitudes of life, and he silently looked at the young man in strange clothes in front of him and said his identity.

"Hello." Ning He bowed slightly, this is an ancient etiquette inherited by the Blue Star Federation, and it is a kind of respect for the old man, "My name is Ning He, and I am from a distant place. ”

"Far away?" The old man stretched out a hand and touched the cat's head beside him, his brows furrowed slightly, and said, "Young man, don't be sloppy with me." Lin Chang Gu Brown Mo never ate this set. ”

"Uh......"

Ning He's head was racing, and he was thinking about how to deal with the current situation. The raccoon cat that stuck out its tongue and seemed to enjoy it very much under Lin Chang's caressing, but it was a real carnivorous cat.

And the unkind aura between the old man's eyebrows in front of him made Ning He not doubt that if he answered a wrong word, the old man would let go of the cat.

He thought about the tanuki's claws that had been unleashed earlier, and his heart fluttered.

As a result, Ning He, a good young man of the Blue Star Federation, a student of Baiyun University, and an A-level master in the world of machine martial arts, let go of the green leaf broom and raised his hands high.

"Chief Gulin, I don't know what the situation is, I appeared here when I woke up."

He looked innocently at Gu Brown Mo, who couldn't see his face clearly, and now he could only sacrifice the Dafa of amnesia. This is one of the most practical techniques he learned in middle school.

A sentence of "forgetting" can solve most problems, although you will still suffer afterwards.
