In the dark alley composed of two high-rise buildings in Shangcheng, Gu Shun, dressed in a sailor suit, walked out of the alley.

In order to hide people's eyes, Gu Shun used a cross-dresser to disguise himself from the previous gangster in the lower city to an image wearing a wig, a white top, a navy blue skirt, and a dark triangular scarf around his neck.

"It's not women's clothing, it's not women's clothing, it's just a cross-dressing to hide people's eyes, that's all."

Gu Shun tried his best to hint at himself as he walked.

It's not bad for Gu Shun to dress like this.

He had already calculated all the plans for escaping from the pursuit of the border check, disguised himself to blend into the crowd in the upper city, and escape from the scene.

But what he never expected was that he walked all over the streets and alleys, and he was stunned and didn't find a piece of clothing hanging outside.

"Don't the people in the upper city change their clothes, or have they already reached the point where all the clothes can be dried automatically without washing."

While complaining, Gu Shun shuttled through the dark alleys and corridors as much as possible to reduce contact with the people in the upper city, in case he was witnessed by the residents of the upper city or the surveillance.

In order to reduce the possibility of exposure, it is impossible for him to swagger into a clothing store, or break into a private house to grab clothes, which is undoubtedly self-defeating.

Finally, after a long walk, he found an unopened sailor's suit next to a garbage can.

I don't know which good (changing) person (change) the mind (state) was thrown here.

I have to say, aside from the style of the clothes, it still fits quite well.

Fortunately, he didn't choose the talent of a man or a woman at that time, otherwise he would be a man or a woman plus a cross-dresser, Gu Shun was afraid that he would not be able to control it, and he would go further and further on this wrong road.

Gu Shun, whose image had changed greatly from beginning to end, quickly walked out of the dark alley and blended into the crowd of people.

He noticed that there were more and more patrol drones passing through the streets.

Some of the Uptown's warriors wearing mechanical exoskeletons still roam the city, searching for another fugitive who has infiltrated the city.

Gu Shun has absolute confidence in his disguise, as long as he doesn't check his identity, he believes that he will never be recognized.

For this reason, Gu Shun passed in front of a warrior who was searching for him in such a grand manner.

The warrior's gaze only glanced at Gu Shun, who was wearing a sailor suit, and then turned to the other side and continued to search.

The most dangerous place is the safest place, and they may not have thought that Gu Shun dared to pass by swaggering under their noses.

Getting rid of these pursuers, Gu Shun finally had a chance to take a good stroll around the city.

He first learned about Uptown from the crazy mouth of the mad Joe.

Although he had long expected the wealth and technology of Shangcheng, when he personally placed himself in this city woven of undulating steel and neon, Gu Shun couldn't help but be shocked and admired.

On both sides of the street, you can see marble carved statues from time to time, and at the bottom of each building, exquisite and ornate classical ornamentation and modern decoration full of science and technology complement each other.

In addition to the cold technology, it adds a bit of art and culture to the uptown.

Looking up along the towering buildings, the steel-clad buildings are covered with neon and billboards scrolling with bizarre advertisements and stories about Uptown.

Flying cars with blue tails weave between the buildings, their exterior surfaces reflecting neon colors and almost becoming one with the city.

In the sky, there are also countless drones transporting goods, which are like red blood cells transporting supplies, transporting countless supplies and takeaway orders to thousands of households.

In the distance, the most striking thing is the towers that stand on top of the peaks, their whole body glowing with a bright white light, like a lighthouse guiding the way in the night, which can be seen from any corner of the upper city.

This is perhaps the reason why the Upper City is known as the city that never sleeps, and countless technologies and rainbow lights make up the city's most impressive memories.

But now, the fog is getting thicker and thicker, but this gorgeous city is lined like a ghost town with gloomy atmosphere.

There weren't many people on the road, and everyone looked like they were in a hurry, as if they were in a hurry to get home, and they didn't want to stay outside for a long time.

The city is a little quieter, except for the constantly scrolling advertisements and highlights.

In contrast to the hustle and bustle of the lower city, there is hardly any human conversation on the streets of the upper city, or even any noise at all.

The eyes of each of the people in the upper city were unusually cold and numb, like parts in a machine, going about their own thing, indifferent to everything else.

Gu Shun also noticed that near the temporal bone behind their ears, there was a small transcriber that could place a realistic chip.

However, unlike Shangguan Ji's external device, they all implanted it in their bodies.

From afar, everyone's ears glowed with a pale blue glow.

According to the recollections of merchants who visited the city, they seemed to call it a prosthetic or a port.

As for the rest of the city, there is no useful information to be found on the ground alone.

It seems that the only way to know more about the Upper City is to go to Mazud.

Before Gu Shun disguised, he had already hidden the box he brought in another place, the target of the box was too big, he couldn't take it to swagger through the market.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Shun found a hidden place, prepared to log in to the simulation chip, contact Mazude through the spiritual world inside, and meet in Shangcheng.

However, when accessing the spiritual world, Gu Shun unexpectedly found that his immersive chip did not have the right to log in.

Presumably, when passing through the border inspection, the identity registration of his chip was exposed, so Shangcheng closed all the permissions of this realistic chip.

In Uptown, everything is inseparable from the immersive chip, which is as important as a modern mobile phone.

Without further ado, Gu Shun had to get another one as soon as possible, otherwise all his plans would be out of the way.

If you want to get realistic chips, the most important thing is money. Realistic chips are not rare in Uptown, and they can be bought at will.

The real tricky issue is identity, Gu Shun did not have identity authentication in Shangcheng, and the identity of the only Shangguan Ji was also blocked.

According to the conversation between Shangguan and the bodyguard at that time, he could be monitored.

All undocumented black households are unable to apply for a residence permit, which is the basis for living and activities in the upper city.

In this way, Gu Shun's goal in Shangcheng was also clear.

He first had to make money, use the money to buy chips, and then go to someone to make a fake identity when he had the chips.

For the creation of fake identities, there will definitely be such people in Shangcheng, but the price does not need to be thought about and you know that it is outrageously expensive, but with money, these are not a thing.

When everything is done, you can log in to the metaverse, go to Mazud, and give him the "treasure" you brought.

Thinking of this, Gu Shun sighed, it is really the beginning of everything that does not leave the money.

The first pot of gold in his last life came from the lottery, and the first pot of gold in this life came from potatoes.

And now that it's uptown, the currency of the lower city is definitely not usable. So he wants to start from scratch again, and he will earn his first pot of gold in Shangcheng.

After wandering around the city for a long time, Gu Shun locked his goal of making money in a game hall.

He also has a function card of the game boss to use, and it will definitely not be difficult for him to play games.

And on the neon advertisement on the exterior wall of this game hall, a city-wide challenge announcement of Company M is scrolling.

"The creator of the metaverse, the father of the spiritual world, Shi Difen, created the first metaverse game, Xirang, is launching a points challenge for all people.

The higher the points, the higher the prize money will be, and the person with the highest score on the day will receive all the coins in the cumulative prize pool. ”

Xirang is a very simple puzzle entertainment game.

It plays like a snake from your previous life, and once you enter the game, you'll become a piece of Hiromi that can move freely around the scene, growing up by devouring other players and random essences.

At the same time, there will be some obstacles in the scene from time to time, and if you touch it, you will die.

It's a fun challenge, and the most important thing is to get money.

The boss who watched the machine at the door of the game hall was yawning boredly, and the screen next to him was playing today's news:

"Today, two intruders illegally crossed the border control and entered the upper city. At present, one person has been arrested, and the whereabouts of another person are unknown, the following is his image and temporary immersive chip ID, please find clues to the general public, and actively report. ”

The boss stretched out disapprovingly, looking at the person in the photo, a proper downtownman.

Although he had never been to the lower city, he was so familiar with it that everyone said that they were rats in the gutter, ignorant and lowly.

Over time, all the people in the upper city did not have a good impression of the lower city.

At this time, I saw a man in a sailor's suit walk in. The boss was completely sleepy in an instant, "Lie down, what day is today, there is a girl entering the game hall." ”

"Boss, where is that Xirang's Points Challenge?" Gu Shun looked around and asked.
