Chapter 42: Windfall

Saturday, May 27.

Fang Hao arrived at the gate of the community on time at half past five in the morning and got into Wang Huan's car.

Wang Huan saw that Fang Hao was carrying a large bag of things in addition to his schoolbag, and he couldn't help but be a little curious: "What are you carrying here?" ”

Fang Hao said: "The food and drink that my sister prepared for me let me share with my friends." As soon as I thought about it, I always rubbed your food these days, and I couldn't say it if I didn't reply, so I took it all with me. ”

Wang Huan smiled: "Thank you then." After a pause, he said, "Don't worry, you will have a lot of friends in the future." ”

Fang Hao couldn't help but nodded.

In that dangerous and unfamiliar place in the Metaverse, if you can have a group of reliable friends by your side, you can not only improve your sense of security, but also relieve your sense of loneliness.

In fact, not only in the metaverse, but also in this world.

The Yuan has undoubtedly become a special group among human beings. There is a way that things gather like and people are grouped, and only in the circle of those who belong to the Yuan, many topics can be freely spoken, and at the same time, they will not appear alternative.

During this time, there were very few cars on the road, but in just 20 minutes, Wang Huan drove the car to the southern suburbs and entered the compound of the Special Investigation Bureau.

The two of them came to the reserved observation room, where Zhou Wu was already waiting.

The observation room is only a dozen square meters in size, with all kinds of built-in monitoring equipment, two sofas, a coffee table, a display screen, and a few pots of green plants, like a small reception room, which is specially set up for Fang Hao, an unofficial identity traveler.

Zhou Wu prepared a customized meal for Fang Hao, packed in a large food box.

"You can eat this after you bring it into the beam, it will ensure your energy supply for the whole day. However, it can't control your hunger for the day, so you can try to eat later. ”

Fang Hao said: "Thank you, Team Zhou." ”

Wang Huan looked at his watch and said, "There is still a little time, repeat the goal of your mission this time." ”

Fang Hao said: "First, to ensure their own safety, all actions are based on this premise; Second, figure out where you are, even if it's a general area, but don't risk it. Third, try to avoid contact with anyone, find an exit location in advance, and return as soon as the pass is over. ”

Wang Huan nodded and said, "Very good." Always remember that safety comes first! ”

Since the location of the newcomer's appearance in the Metaverse is random when the newcomer first crosses, it is impossible to predict what kind of situation they will face, so it is impossible to formulate a specific plan of action.

However, the official understanding of Xinghaiyuan is quite thorough, so according to the newcomer's strengths, he can formulate a strategy of action to teach the newcomer how to deal with the various dangers that may be faced, which is equivalent to a Metaverse emergency guide.

Including the reserve force cultivated by the government itself, it is also the same requirement when crossing for the first time, and the core idea is that "everyone stresses safety and everyone will be able to respond to emergencies".

Therefore, Fang Hao's three mission goals, except for figuring out his position, did not have a clear direction.

Wang Huan and Zhou Wu talked to Fang Hao a few more words, and seeing that he was calm and did not show obvious nervousness, they left the monitoring room next to him and let him prepare alone.

The content of the teachings and the matters that should be emphasized have already been talked about before, and it is useless to talk too much at this time. After entering the Metaverse, Fang Hao could only rely on himself, and they couldn't help.

After a short time, Wang Huan's voice came from the loudspeaker in the observation room: "Thirty seconds countdown, please be in place." ”

Fang Hao stood up, picked up the big food box, and stood in front of the screen that was beating time.

"Ten seconds countdown to ready! 10.9 ......"

With Wang Huan's second counting, the time displayed on the screen jumped synchronously.

When the time came to 6:30, Fang Hao opened the flying beam of the Spirit Pass, and then disappeared in place.

The whole half-point crossing was chosen to facilitate his time conversion.

Wang Huan and Zhou Wu both silently recited in their hearts: "Boy, good luck!" ”

Although he has only taught Fang Hao for five days, Wang Huan's mood at this moment is no better than that of those teachers and parents who watched their children enter the college entrance examination room.

Although Zhou Wu did not directly teach Fang Hao, he also played the role of behind-the-scenes guidance, so he was in the same mood as Wang Huan.

The college entrance examination may determine the future of the child, but the first wear of the Metaverse is a matter of life and death.

And under the guidance of the official, Fang Hao did not inform his guardian of this situation. As the two people who were in direct contact with Fang Hao, they naturally had to bear this responsibility.

"This kid can learn well, right?"

Zhou Wu took his eyes off the monitor, looked at Wang Huan and asked. He'd asked this question many times, most recently last night.

"Arguably better than anyone else. He has the gift of a spirit, he has an excellent memory, and he is very attentive to anything we teach. His composure is far greater than that of his peers, and sometimes I feel like an adult. ”

Wang Huan also took the trouble to answer a little more emotional than before.

"That's good." Zhou Wu nodded.

The two chatted for a while about work, and at 7:15 a.m., they stopped talking and turned their eyes to the monitor.

This is the time planned for Fang Hao to enter the Metaverse.

The moment when a novice just appeared in the Metaverse, it was the most dangerous.

If you fall next to a fierce beast, you will basically die.

If it appears in front of the eyes of the natives, it will probably end badly. In particular, most of the cultivators among the indigenous people are strongly hostile to the traversers, and they will be slaughtered when they encounter novice rookies.

If you meet other traversers, it may not be a good thing. The outlaws among the traversers are not at all friendly to their fellow countrymen.

Therefore, the official action strategy for novices will ask them to avoid contact with anyone as much as possible.

After all, risking one's own life to gamble on the odds of meeting a good person, the cost of trial and error is too high. Once you lose the bet, you will lie down and return home, and there will be no next chance.

Of all the environmental factors, the only thing that a novice can actively control is the choice to travel through time. Naturally, the official course of action also takes this into account.

At 7:15 in the morning, before the dawn of Xinghaiyuan in the Metaverse, it was the time of the day when people slept most soundly. If you fall into a populated area, it is easier to escape or hide while the natives are sleeping, than during the day.

However, in addition to the three objective factors of the beast, the native, and the traverser, there is also a subjective factor that is actually more terrifying, that is, the arrogance and stupidity of the novice himself.

Wang Huan and Zhou Wu stayed in the monitoring room until 7:30, and did not see the naked corpse appear, and finally felt a little relieved.

As long as it doesn't land in a box, no matter what situation you encounter, you can have a little room for maneuver.

-----------------

You have entered the Flying Beam. 】

You can stay here for up to 1 hour. Before the time deadline, you must make a choice to go to the Metaverse or the Metaverse. If you do not make your selection, you will be sent to the source location. 】

[Time remaining: 59 minutes]

After Fang Hao entered the Spirit Flying Beam Space, he received the prompt message from the Spirit Pass as usual, and felt the resonance of the two passes in the mysterious space.

He's been in here twice more in the last few days, and every time.

This time, he no longer hesitated, guided with his mind, and the next moment he came to the space of the Flying Beam of the Yan.

Immediately, there was a soft "click" sound in his body, as if a shackle had been opened, and a warm current swam around his body, so comfortable that he wanted to moan.

New information was also presented in his mind at this time.

【Pass (Derivation)】

[Serial number: 9]

[Status: Beam can be turned on]

[Host Cultivation is: Eight Pins]

The cultivator's cultivation has actually advanced!

Fang Hao was delighted and puzzled at the same time.

After his first crossing, he was promoted to the eighth grade, although it was very unexpected, but it was still reasonable.

After all, he had been training in the Yanshi Dao Realm for 21 hours, and his foundation was quite good. And in the face of the death threat of the Hu Ren swordsman, he triggered the illusion skill nearly a thousand times in a row, which can be regarded as a matter of course.

It is based on this logic that Fang Hao plans to tell Wang Huan the good news of "promotion" after this crossing, so that the actual cultivation and official data can be unified to facilitate future actions.

It's only been a few days since the last promotion, and during this time, he has only been to the Metaverse once, and then he has triggered the illusion skill hundreds of times in the Spirit Dao Realm, which is not enough to advance in any case.

It doesn't mean that the higher the level, the easier it is to advance.

Could it be because after the spiritual cultivator was promoted, the cultivator's cultivation was promoted?

No one could tell him the answer, so he could only put the doubt aside for the time being and leave it for later verification.

Regardless, advanced is a good thing.

At this point, the Derivator Pass is still in a beam openable state, and there is no feedback that it can only stay here for one hour.

And the countdown to the Spirit Beam Space continues.

This is equivalent to another way for him to retreat. After entering the Metaverse, if you encounter an unsolvable danger, you can escape through the Derivative Pass when the Spirit Pass is not over.

It's just that this retreat must be used with caution, otherwise the biggest hole cards will be exposed.

Fang Hao put the food box on the coffee table, and then went to the storage rack to get a set of clothes.

The Metaverse clothes in the two flying beam spaces are almost the same, and the texture is not much different. But the clothes here were prepared by Wu Yue for the latecomers, and the clothes over there have been worn many times.

Although Fang Hao has no habit of cleanliness, it is always better to wear clothes like himself, especially close-fitting underwear.

Then he took off his sunglasses, his eyes slowly swept through the space, and he used his mental power to carefully explore each area to see if he could find traces of Brother Bin's existence.

As a result, this exploration was terrible, and a full twenty spirits were found.

Two of the spirits were well-defined, still maintaining their human form. The remaining eighteen spirits shrunk into a ball, like balls.

The surface of these spirits is wrapped in a layer of something, as if coated with a film, silently suspended above the space.

Those two humanoid spirit bodies should belong to Zhao Liang and Liu Qiang respectively, but Fang Hao couldn't distinguish them with spiritual power perception.

It has been more than ten days since the two of them died in the Dao realm, but the spirit body still exists, and it should be the effect of the outer membrane that keeps them in a state of silence, as if they have been sealed.

From this, it can be determined that after Brother Bin died in the Dao Realm, his spirit body also existed here in the same state.

Later, for some unknown reason, Brother Bin's spirit body passed through the spatial passage, entered the spirit realm, and woke up.

As for the origin of the other eighteen spirits, it is not difficult to guess that they should have been incarnated by the forerunners who obtained the Yanzhi Pass before Wu Yue.

It's been almost forty years since they died in the Dao Realm, and it's estimated that they have long since lost their sense of self and are therefore unable to maintain their human form.

So aren't these eighteen spirits already turned into wandering spirits?
