Xiao Linglong is not at home today.

Zhuang Yunfei, who woke up, had already knocked on the door twice, but there was no response.

He wanted to make a phone call to contact Xiao Linglong, but he didn't know what excuse to make.

Therefore, he had to squat at the door boringly watching videos to pass the time.

But when it was nearly evening, he still didn't see Xiao Linglong's figure appear.

"Shouldn't this guy move quietly, or did he go to the top of the list in the live broadcast room?"

Zhuang Yunfei resisted the urge to slam the door, he knew that there was indeed no one inside.

It seems that the function of this True Eye has not had a chance to be tested on Seraphine for the time being.

He was just about to send a message to Xiao Linglong to ask why he was not at home today, but he didn't expect to receive a text message from his fat friend first.

[Feizi, old iron barbecue, come quickly!] ]

Someone invited a treat, Zhuang Yunfei naturally would not refuse, immediately changed his clothes, and used his mobile phone to call an online car-hailing car and went straight to the destination.

When he arrived at the downtown food street, the fat man was already eating skewers at the barbecue stall.

"Ah, I haven't seen you for a few days, why do you seem to be handsome again, can't you run to support the rich woman."

The fat man looked up and saw Zhuang Yunfei, and he was immediately surprised.

"Have you become handsome, it may be that you have eaten a lot of takeaway chicken essence recently, you can also try it."

Zhuang Yunfei rubbed his chin and replied with a serious face.

"Essence of chicken still has this effect, why don't I know, wait! You mean chicken... Essence...? ”

Zhuang Yunfei, who just opened a bottle of beer and poured it into his mouth, saw the fat man's expression of believing it, and almost choked to death with a mouthful of foam.

And the fat man realized that the other party was playing tricks on himself, and suddenly gave a middle finger in anger.

"What's the situation today, why did you suddenly remember to ask me to?"

"Hey, there have been more than a dozen delivery workers missing in our city recently, and now they are all panicking, and no one dares to go to work to deliver food at night..."

Missing? Has it been murdered and dumped?

What's the situation, the murderer has a grudge against the profession of delivery man?

Could it be that the murderer was rubbed by a delivery man and greened?

Zhuang Yun raised his chin and motioned for the fat man to continue.

"Strange to say, this started happening the day you disappeared from work..."

"Hey, stop me, what do you mean from the day I disappeared, don't say such misleading words."

Hearing that something was wrong, Zhuang Yunfei hurriedly interrupted the fat man's words.

If this matter gets out, maybe he will be regarded as a key suspect.

"I didn't say it was a homicide, you're nervous."

The fat man rolled his eyes, with his understanding of Zhuang Yunfei, he would never believe that the little white face in front of him would kill someone.

"The disappearance of the delivery workers didn't cause much shock at first, but it wasn't until the night before yesterday that a delivery buddy saw a colleague disappear in front of him and realized something was wrong."

The fat man took a sip of beer and moistened his throat and continued: "It's strange, when the man disappeared, a portal appeared under his feet. ”

"Portal!?"

Zhuang Yunfei was stunned, and then thought of the purple crystal he crushed last night, and wondered if it really had something to do with him.

"Well, you heard it right, it's the portal.

The buddy said that after seeing his colleague fall in, the portal disappeared immediately.

I suspect that this is an alien conspiracy against the delivery man, who wants to use the delivery man to conquer the world..."

Zhuang Yunfei: ......

He didn't know if he was in a conspiracy, he only knew that the sixth system must know something inside.

After that, he asked the fat man about the follow-up progress of the incident, and the fat man didn't know anything.

As for the buddy who saw the portal with his own eyes, it is said that he has been invited to tea by the comrades of the Public Security Department.

After that, the two chatted about their daily routines, and then went home.

After returning to the apartment, Zhuang Yunfei decided to have a frank conversation with the sixth system.

No, it should be the system to be honest.

"So, you're not going to explain?"

【Ding! The system does not recognize the host to explain what it means. 】

I'm rubbing, are you ready to have a hard mouth to the end?

"What's going on with the portal, and those traversers, do they also have a useful system?"

【Ding! System... Fill... Allow... Child... 乚...】

Again, want to play dead again!?

"Don't answer it, that's good, don't think about Lao Tzu to complete any tasks in the future, even if you cut Lao Tzu, I won't do it!"

[In view of the host's strong request, the system will open the main quest in advance, this quest involves spoilers, please choose carefully for the host...]

[Is it on?] 】

The main quest?

Those tasks before daring to love were all playing around with me?

"Turn on!"

Instead of being kept in the dark, Zhuang Yunfei just wanted to know the truth.

[Ding, the host has received the main quest: Honkai World]

[Mission: Prevent all system players from plundering parallel plane resources.] 】

[Failure Penalty: None]

Hey, the penalty for failure in the main quest is actually nothing.

Could it be that the system has changed?

"Why do you call them system players instead of system hosts?"

[Because the system server terminal is different.] 】

"What does it mean to stop players from plundering parallel plane resources and preventing them from earning points?

Like I destroyed their teleportation stone last night, which is what that rift connects the core? ”

[Correct solution, in order to prevent the deterioration of plane overlap, the destruction of the connecting core will be critical to the future mission of the host.] 】

Fourth Plague!

No wonder other system owners are called players, Zhuang Yunfei suddenly realized.

He could already guess the location of his system's host.

If you use other planes as a dungeon map, then your own world is the home city for all players.

And he is the GM of this game, responsible for the balance of the whole game.

In order to gain points, players who obtained the connection core overexploited the dungeon, which eventually accelerated the collapse process of the dungeon plane.

"But what's going on with the deterioration of this plane overlap, and who is behind the system players who is leading all this?"

[When other parallel worlds collapse to a certain extent, the plane where the host is located will also be affected, causing the two worlds to overlap, even if there is no crack to connect the core, the creatures of the two worlds can shuttle in and out freely. 】

Lying in the groove, free shuttle in and out.

Zhuang Yunfei really can't imagine that his world has become a paper figure flying all over the sky, and everyone has hair on their bodies... Ahem, it's a beautiful picture overgrown with vines.

"What is the significance of their existence as players?"

[Observation.] 】

Observe?

Zhuang Yunfei remembered again that he also had the title of "observed".

Behind his back, who is observing him?

What exactly are the purpose of those observers?

He tried to ask the system questions, but was never answered.

"What are the number of system players, and am I the only system host?"

[It's late at night, and the host is advised to rest early.] 】

Hey, the system deliberately avoided the topic, which is strange.

"Then the last question, why did you choose me..."
