Chapter 1 Have you watched Liao Zhai?(1/2)
The heavy rain had just stopped, and there was a strange sour smell in the air, as if waste water from a chemical plant had leaked from the pipes.
The city is shining with enchanting faces in a neon atmosphere.
Wang Qi stood on the observation deck on the mountain, looked at the city in the distance, opened his mouth slightly and let out a long breath.
In the darkness, a green breathing light emitted from Wang Qi's wrist.
He lowered his head and shook his wrist slightly, and a light screen was released from the chain on his wrist. On it was a chat interface, and a person named Wan Hongzhuang was constantly sending messages.
[It’s just the two of us in the dungeon, right? Are you sure you’re a sword cultivator and didn’t bluff me? When will you come online to Ye City? 】
Looking at the other party's question, Wang Qi rubbed his eyes and did not choose to reply.
He met Wan Hongzhuang through a game called "Second World". Oh, it's not really an acquaintance. He was just a netizen chatting in a communication group.
The Second World is an open, large-scale virtual immersion game set in the world of Xianxia, with unlimited possibilities and opportunities.
Wang Qi has been in the trap for more than half a year, working hard as a brick-and-mortar dog to earn some money to support his life.
Games are fun, but they also have side effects. Playing the game for a long time will put a huge load on people's brains. Some people even lose themselves gradually because the game is too real for a long time. This is Wang Qida.
The reason for appearing in the mountains outside the city at night: He had just logged off the game and came to the mountains to relax and deepen the difference between the real world and the virtual world.
Although the background of the game is the world of immortals, many people there cannot see the so-called demons, ghosts, gods and Buddhas in the sky. Any clues about this are very expensive on the news trading platform.
Wang Qi was very hesitant now. After all, although he and Wan Hongzhuang had known each other for a while, there were many doubts in the fact that the other party was willing to invite him into a copy of Liaozhai.
For example, if the opponent requires a swordsman or sword cultivator, his strength cannot be higher than the second level, and Wan Hongzhuang himself is a third level strength.
The previous requirement is that the swordsman can be regarded as a dungeon requirement. The second point makes people wonder. Is it because he wants his teammates to be less powerful than himself to do something evil?
Wang Qi rubbed his aching head. It had been a long time since he finished the game, and he had not yet recovered from the side effects of playing virtual games for a long time. Now he really couldn't spare too much time to think about this issue. Wang Qi looked at
After a while, I planned to return to the city from the mountain.
There is a constant distance from the mountains to the city.
Wang Qi walked slowly on the way down the mountain, heading towards the tram stop at the bottom of the mountain.
There were some street lights installed on the mountain road, and under the dim street lights, Wang Qi saw the back of a tall woman with long legs in front of her. Judging from the back alone, Wang Qi estimated that he could give the woman ten points.
Looking at the beautiful back from a distance, Wang Qi deliberately slowed down and followed behind the girl.
On the way back, I could see a beautiful girl. Although it was just her back, it was very comfortable.
As if sensing Wang Qi's gaze, the girl quickened her pace.
Wang Qi touched his nose. He seemed to be regarded as a follower. However, his current behavior seemed to be misunderstood.
"Alas, the world is getting worse. People like me just appreciate beauty. People of my level cannot be satisfied with beauty." Wang Qi sighed silently in his heart.
The street lights gradually brightened, and it was time to reach the bottom of the mountain.
The girl happened to be standing on the tram platform, and Wang Qi walked up quickly.
There were countless colorful advertisements on the platform, all vying to get into Wang Qi's eyes. Wang Qi had long since developed a pair of eyes that automatically ignored advertisements. He turned a blind eye to those advertisements and quickly glanced at the girl's face.
Face.
"It's a pity, I'm wearing a mask." Wang Qi shook his head slightly, then leaned on the platform.
The tram arrived at the station and Wang Qi got on.
The car was empty except for Wang Qi and the girl.
The chain on his wrist flickered again. Wang Qi rubbed his eyes and put on a pair of glasses, and then the message on the chain flickered on the lenses.
[Wang Qi, you should reply with a message.]
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Wang Qi sighed softly. He still couldn't trust Wan Hongzhuang in his heart. Although his strength in the game was not very good and he didn't have much money to be plotted, he was afraid of the other party.
He is someone who even wants mosquito legs.
The tram gradually entered the city, and the dim carriage was dazzled by the neon light from outside.
At another stop, Wang Qi got off the car, found the hotel room he had booked before going up the mountain, went in, and began to reply to Wan Hongzhuang's messages.
"I've just reached my limit and haven't recovered yet. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Wan Hongzhuang quickly replied: "Opportunities wait for no one."
Wang Qi sneered and continued to ask: "You have to let me know what the copy is like, right? You just told me that it was about demons, and you didn't say anything else."
"Let's do this. Come to Yecheng and I'll tell you." Wan Hongzhuang replied, "Come here first and I'll tell you about the dungeon, and then you can decide whether you want to go or not, okay?"
"Okay." Wang Qi replied.
Yecheng is a place in the second world.
If you just go over to understand the situation, that's fine. Anyway, it just takes some time. What Wang Qi lacks most is time.
Wang Qi made up his mind and fell asleep.
The next day, Wang Qi left the hotel and went straight to a tall building.
In the sunlight, the glass on the building's surface reflects dazzling white light.
Wang Qi walked towards the building from the alley next to it, rubbed what he had just stepped on in front of the small door on the side of the building, and then walked into the building.
Inside the building, there are densely packed long glass vessels with green shells standing upright. This is the game simulation warehouse of the second world. Wang Qi stopped in front of a display screen on the edge of the corridor. He clicked on it a few times.
A verification code is then sent to his bracelet.
Wang Qi followed the prompts and walked inside the building, then stopped in front of a simulation warehouse. After entering the verification code, the glass on the surface of the machine opened. Wang Qi looked at the squirming semi-liquid material inside and took a breath, and then his whole body
No more going in.
"If you have money, let's install a computer." Wang Qi thought silently in his heart.
【Welcome to the second world!】
After a burst of bizarre and distorted light passed before his eyes, the scene in front of him took on a completely new look.
Different from the polluted scenery everywhere in the real world, this place is like a paradise. People coming and going are wearing robes from ancient times. Bright sunshine, gorgeous flowers and fragrant grass can be seen everywhere.
Wang Qi identified the direction and then walked towards a bungalow.
The second world, the second world, this is a real world, with different lifestyles and forms of profit-making from the real world.
Wang Qi found a shop that specialized in selling horse hybrids and spirit beasts. After buying a horse, he headed towards Yecheng.
…
Outside Yecheng.
Wang Qi rubbed his eyebrows. He looked at the tall city in front of him and took a deep breath. Then, he walked firmly towards the city gate.
A flash of light flashed over the city gate painted brown, and the next moment it became bright and colorful.
Red, blue, green and other messy colors continued to emerge, and various advertising light screens popped up. Wang Qi did not waste too much time on this. He stretched out his finger and clicked off the advertisement above, and finally the application for entering the city at the bottom was
Appear.
[Dear players, you need to pay ten credits to enter the city, click Confirm to complete the payment. 】
Wang Qi clicked the confirmation button, and the brown door opened.
【Welcome to Yecheng.】
As the door opened, the bustling noise of people coming and going on the street also reached Wang Qi's ears.
Looking at the bustling Ye City, Wang Qi clicked his tongue. It is indeed one of the largest cities in the "Second World"! The NPCs and players here are among the best.
With a thought in his mind, Wang Qi felt the communication tool inside the Qiankun Ring on his right index finger vibrating, and he quickly took it out, which was a jade pendant.
"Wang Qi, have you arrived in Yecheng?"
A deep young man's voice came from the other side of the jade pendant. At the same time as the sound came out, the jade pendant also emits a flashing breathing light.
"We're here, I'm at the door now, come and pick me up?" Wang Qi asked.
"Wait, right away. Which door?"
"East Gate."
After Wang Qi took back the jade pendant, he quietly found a corner and squatted down.
Not long after, the communication jade pendant in the Qiankun Ring vibrated. Wang Qi stood up and looked around. The group member named Wan Hongzhuang should have arrived.
Sure enough, not far away, a tall man wearing black-rimmed glasses was looking around.
Wang Qi looked at each other. The man looked left and right, then walked forward: "Wang Qi?"
"Dazhuang?" Wang Qi said with a smile.
"It's me!" A trace of joy flashed across Wan Hongzhuang's face, "Let's go, I'll take you to have something to eat first. This is not the place to talk."
Wang Qi nodded slightly. Although this is a game, with the simulation cabin, when eating in "Second World", in the simulation cabin, energy substances will be replenished with the food in the game, so as to prevent players from playing for a long time.
But my physical strength can't keep up.
At a grilled fish restaurant, Wan Hongzhuang entered a private room with ease and then reached out and touched the door.
[Dear members, the isolation formation is activated, thank you for your support, please enjoy your private space~]
