It was the first time for Chen Chuyao to enter the metaverse by uploading consciousness, but he didn't expect the feeling to be so realistic, completely different from reality.

Because Ma Deliang's style was too eye-catching, after Chen Chuyao adapted to the other party's image, he noticed that his image at this time was the image of a female high school student wearing a JK skirt and sailor suit, black stockings and shiny small leather shoes.

Chen Chuyao wore such a sexy short skirt for the first time, although she knew that this was all an image in the metaverse, she still involuntarily reached out and wanted to pull the skirt down, but what she didn't expect was that this metaverse was so realistic that the skirt was really pulled down. It's just that because the skirt is limited by its own length, the range of pulling it down is really limited.

Look at Andy Lee again, wearing an old-fashioned trench coat and a tweed hat with a brim on the front and back, which is clearly the classic appearance of Sherlock Holmes.

As for the appearance, it is still the same as Andy Lee, but the edges and corners are more distinct, and the details are more perfect.

"Andy, you chose this outfit yourself?" Chen Chuyao looked at Li Andi and asked.

Andy Li nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

"What's the matter with my dress?!" Chen Chuyao asked puzzledly, "And what does I look like now?" ”

"That's right, Chu Yao's outfit is my choice, I think it is more in line with your temperament!" Ma Deliang explained: "You still use your original appearance, firstly, Chu Yao and Andy's appearance is quite perfect, and secondly, it can make the two of you better adapt to acting in the metaverse." Otherwise, if you change into a very strange and unfamiliar shape, most people will need to adapt to it for a long time before they can move freely. ”

"Chu Yao's image is very beautiful!" Andy Lee also said approvingly.

Chen Chuyao looked at his JK shape again, and became more and more sure that under Andy Lee's cold and handsome image, what was hidden was definitely a two-dimensional soul.

"Let's go!" Ma Deliang said, swaying his bumpy figure and leaving the teleportation point.

Chen Chuyao and Andy Li also followed out of the teleportation point. What comes into view is a strange world.

As far as the eye can see, there are some strange buildings, including modern buildings with a sense of science and technology, antique traditional buildings, and cartoon two-dimensional abstract buildings, which are scattered on both sides of the street.

"The areas here are all privately owned, and everyone builds on their own areas according to their preferences." Ma Deliang introduced to the two as he walked: "Of course, these buildings and the area to which they belong can be bought and sold. If you have a large enough area and enough money to buy building materials, you can even build a castle or skyscraper. ”

As he spoke, Ma Deliang pointed to some tall buildings scattered in the distance and said, "Those are some rich people, or the super-large buildings of the guild. ”

Chen Chuyao and Andy Li looked a little further away and found tall buildings such as pyramids, skyscrapers, and even a huge building in the shape of SpongeBob SquarePants standing in the middle of the low buildings.

The people passing by are also in different shapes, some are images of anime characters, some are wearing strange costumes, and some are like aliens in horror movies.

I saw a little Lori-looking girl talking and laughing with an octopus-headed monster like a Cthulhu god, walking and chatting, without any sense of disobedience at all.

Ma Deliang came to a bar-like building, stopped and said to Chen Chuyao and Li Andi: "This is a good place to find out the news!" Let's take a look at Paradise first. ”

With that, Ma Deliang pushed the door and entered the bar-like building.

When you enter the door, you will find that the space inside is larger than it looks from the outside, and the neon-lit dance hall is crowded with people, dancing to the loud music.

Ma Deliang went straight to the bar and sat directly across from a bartender.

Chen Chuyao and Li Andi also sat next to Ma Deliang.

"What do you drink?!"

A bartender in the image of Mickey Mouse asked Ma Deliang.

"Scream!"

Ma Deliang said skillfully, and at the same time threw a wink at the bartender.

"Where's the two?!" The bartender turned to Chen Chuyao and Andy Li and asked.

"So do we!" Andy Lee said simply.

After a while, the bartender brought three glasses of dark blue drinks, placed them in front of several people, and said very professionally: "A few people, please use it slowly!" ”

Ma Deliang stretched out a hand and pressed it on the bar, and then a few gold coins appeared under his hand, and then Ma Deliang pushed the gold coin over, and said with a charming smile: "Little brother, ask you something!" ”

The bartender seemed to be accustomed to this, and pressed a few gold coins on them, and they disappeared, presumably in his account.

"What's the matter with the beauty?" The bartender chuckled.

"My friends and I want to have something exciting!" Ma Deliang said in a coquettish tone: "I heard that Polar Paradise is very good!" Do you know what's new over there lately?! ”

The bartender looked at a few people and said, "I really don't know what happened over there, if you want to ask somewhere else, I can help!" ”

"We just applied for membership over there, and this is the first time we've been there, so we want to know about the situation over there!" Ma Deliang saw that the other party was on guard, and waved his hand again, and an ID interface appeared in front of the bartender, which was the membership card of Extreme Paradise.

Seeing this, the bartender immediately said with a smile: "It turns out that a few of them are members of Paradise!" Then you're really here, I heard that a big event is going to be organized over there! ”

"What activity?!" Ma Deliang asked.

"It's a real battle royale that's pretty much the same as before! But this time it's huge, and I've heard that there are hundreds of people! The bartender said mysteriously.

"Mortal Battle Royale?!" Ma Deliang was a little puzzled.

"Don't you know?" Seeing this, the bartender became nervous again, "Then when I don't say anything!" Anyway, if you want to have some fun, now you can go! ”

"Has that data black hole appeared recently!?"

Ma Deliang saw that the other party was secretive, so he changed the topic.

"Oops, that's horrible, a couple of more buildings have been destroyed recently! Fortunately, the data black hole is not large, and it was quickly eliminated by antivirus software. ”

The bartender said with a sigh of relief.

"Is there any explanation for data black holes?"

"I haven't heard of this, but now there are all kinds of things, some people say that someone created the virus, and some people say that it is the BUG of the metaverse itself!"

"Didn't the Singularity Company make any moves?"

Singularity is a well-known Internet company in the West, one of the first few companies to develop the metaverse, although the metaverse has formed an independent virtual world, but the singularity company is responsible for the maintenance of the entire metaverse, from which it has earned a huge fortune.

"Hey, now the vast majority of areas of the metaverse are private, and Singularity is only doing some maintenance work, and the private areas are protected by the Data Security Act, and the people of Singularity cannot check it, unless everyone applies for Singularity to help maintain it." The bartender continued, with a look of course.

Regarding what the bartender said, Ma Deliang naturally knew that he just wanted to find out relevant information from different channels.

Ma Deliang put on a teachable expression and said coquettishly: "So that's the case!" ”

At this moment, Chen Chuyao lifted the blue drink and took a sip gently, and an inexplicable feeling instantly spread throughout his body from head to toe, and an indescribable feeling that was both uncomfortable and refreshing stimulated every cell of Chen Chuyao.

When Chen Chuyao was in a trance, Li Andi also tasted a 'scream', "cough...... cough ......" Although he was in the virtual world, Andy Li habitually coughed a few times, and then put the cup containing the blue liquid back on the bar, frowning, looking bitter.

"Is this the first time you've drunk 'Scream'?! It's good to get used to it! Seeing this, the bartender looked at Chen Chuyao and Li Andi with interest and said with a chuckle.

As if he was afraid that the other party would be suspicious, Ma Deliang raised his wine glass and drank the blue 'scream'.

"Ah......" Ma Deliang breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a satisfied expression: "It's still your 'scream' the purest!" ”

Then, Ma Deliang asked a few more questions, and the three of them left the dim and noisy bar.

Back on the street, Andy Lee came to Ma Deliang and asked, "What's going on with that data black hole?" ”

"It's a computer virus that has recently appeared in the metaverse, and once it appears, everything around it will be formatted as if it has been absorbed by a black hole." Ma Deliang explained.

"Are those who fell into a coma caused by this black hole of data?" Andy Li asked nervously: "About this data black hole, why is it not mentioned in the case file?" ”

"Not really!" Ma Deliang continued: "This data black hole has great damage to virtual property, but it does not cause any harm to the human body, and people affected by the data black hole will just wake up from the virtual world immediately." But the destroyed virtual property can never be recovered! ”

"Is this a recent computer virus?" Chen Chuyao asked.

"Yes!" Ma Deliang nodded in response.

"What is the purpose of creating this virus?" Chen Chuyao was a little puzzled.

"That's what bothers us, too!" Ma Deliang was also puzzled and said: "Until now, we have not found out who will profit from the destruction of this virus!" ”

"There have been similar cases in the past, where some people just want to show off their superb computer skills, and create some viruses that are not aimed at profit!" Andy Lee followed.

"Judging from the clues we have so far, there is indeed such a possibility, and we are still continuing to search for relevant clues." Ma Deliang said approvingly: "But this data black hole is not the case we investigated this time. I just asked in passing if there was any progress on it......"
