Chapter 466 Above the Posa (1) (1st + 2nd update) [VIP]

After a brief dizziness, Bai Jinshu found himself standing in a complex of buildings that looked like a residential community.

The reason why it seems to be a residential area is that the architectural style in this area is not uniform.

In a normal community, the architectural style of all buildings should be unified. The community developer will unify the floor heights, building facades, and corridor decorations of the community buildings... Some properties that pay more attention to the external image of the community will also prohibit owners from privately sealing windows and balconies to disrupt the overall unity.

In simple terms, most houses in a community look the same. If you don't look at the building, then just push open any unit door and enter, and you'll see the same things.

But the current complex of buildings... can only be described as a hodgepodge of demons.

Bai Jinshu took a quick look and saw that there were three- or four-story single-family villas, as well as three- or four-story buildings that looked like they could house at least a hundred people. There were also some courtyard houses with closed doors and ancient mansions with many entrances and exits...

The architectural styles are ancient and modern, both Chinese and foreign, and the shapes are also diverse. If Bai Jinshu had not been able to see that these houses were all built neatly according to a certain pattern, he would not have judged this place as a residential area at first glance.

Now it doesn't seem to be a residential area. If you have to say it, it is more like a residential plot in some towns and villages where the owner can build a building at will.

Different owners have different preferences and aesthetics, and they build according to their own aesthetics, and it finally becomes like this.

But does this mean that the unknown space [Above Posa] is in towns and villages?

A bunch of guesses flashed through Bai Jinshu's mind and he glanced around.

The place where he woke up was next to a huge villa that was decorated so beautifully that it looked like a castle.

There is a large open space in front of the villa. Looking through the railings outside the villa, you can see a large lawn with flowers in full bloom and an artificial swan lake on the edge of the lawn. The Swan Lake is far away, but you can vaguely see a white swan swimming leisurely on the lake.

If the owner of a house can afford to raise a swan, he should be living a good life, and he probably has servants or housekeepers who specialize in taking care of the swans.

But I haven't checked in yet. Everything in the unknown space is at a standstill. If I want to ask the servant where this place is, I have to meet up with other exploration team members first.

Not far from this luxurious villa is a seemingly ordinary duplex villa. The villa has only two floors and there is no space enough to dig a swan lake to raise swans. The area and decoration seem to be much worse than this villa.

There are two houses with such a huge difference, separated by just one street. Anyone who comes here will inevitably wonder in their mind about the relationship between the two owners.

Bai Jinshu took a look at the surrounding environment, checked the time, and prepared to look for other teammates.

Just as I walked around the luxurious villa, I heard a surprised voice not far away: "Look! Oh my god, what kind of family built such a big house!"

The voice sounded like it had not yet gone through puberty, with the drab voice that is typical of voice change.

"That's someone else's home, can you please not move around?" a female voice sounded a little speechless. "Don't make noise, how many people haven't arrived yet?"

"There are four more," the duck-voiced man said flatteringly, "the two of us, and here is a sister and a brother."

"Hello," Bai Jinshu said at the right time, "Are you members of the Foundation's exploration team?"

"Hey, here comes another one!" The duck-voiced man ran over enthusiastically, stretched out a hand and shook his hand, "Hello, brother, hello, I'm Qiu Zihan, I'm fifteen this year, and the one over there is my sister, Tang Ling, she'll always be eighteen!"

Bai Jinshu: "Qiu... Zihan?"

"I know, you must say that you know a lot of Zi Hans, right?" Qiu Zi Han's face showed a trace of grief and indignation. "It doesn't matter. I'm strong. I'm used to it. Our Zi Han is such a name that is popular all over China. Zi Han is an attitude, Zi Han is a demeanor, Zi Han is a..."

“Qiu Zihan!” the female voice named Tang Ling shouted, “Stop being crazy and get over here!”

"Understood!" Qiu Zihan stood up quickly and leaned over to add in a low voice, "My sister is a very good person. Brother, don't look at her fierceness, but she is very powerful. If you encounter danger later, let my sister save you...ah."

Tang Ling came over and stepped on Qiu Zihan: "Shut up."

"Hello, my name is Tang Ling, you are also a member of this expedition," she turned her head with a hint of apology on her face, "Qiu Zihan is my best friend's younger brother. I'm sorry that he disturbed you just now because he is a bit of a crowd pleaser."

"It's okay," Bai Jinshu stretched out his hand and shook hers, "My name is Skao."

"Skao," Tang Ling repeated it, looked up and observed his appearance, and asked tentatively, "Sounds like a minority?"

It doesn't sound like a Han Chinese name.

"English name, Skull," Bai Jinshu smiled slightly, "I'm used to it. I'm a Chinese expatriate."

"Oh my god, that's so cool, bro. Did you immigrate there? Your English must be really good!" Qiu Zihan poked his head out.

"No," Bai Jinshu shook his head, "I was born in a foreign country, and both my parents are foreigners."

"Mei Ye!" Qiu Zihan stood in awe, "Good luck to Mei Ye! V me at fifty to see my strength!"

"Actually it's France." Bai Jinshu added.

"Can you be quiet for a few seconds?" Tang Ling turned around and glared at Qiu Zihan for a few seconds, until Qiu Zihan shrank his neck guiltily, then he turned around and said to Bai Jinshu awkwardly, "Well... Qiu Zihan is still young..."

Perhaps because he felt that the words "the child is still young" could not be used to describe a young man who was already nearly 1.8 meters tall, Tang Ling was silent for a few seconds, then clenched his fist towards Bai Jinshu and said, "The child deserves a beating, I'm going to beat him up later!"

Bai Jinshu laughed: "It's okay."

He is just a minor, and he is not narrow-minded enough to argue with him.

"Well... it's great that you don't mind," Tang Ling laughed awkwardly, "Let's quickly introduce ourselves to each other and get ready to sign in."

In addition to Tang Ling and Qiu Zihan, there are another man and a woman named Bo Jiren and Di Xueni, both of whom are low-end team members.

These four people were not aware of what happened in the space [Above Posuo] and were all randomly assigned there. Tang Ling was randomly assigned to an unknown space because her best friend's brother Qiu Zihan was randomly assigned to this unknown space, so she used a team-building item from the mall to enter.

Unlike mid- to high-end team members, most of the low-end team members have no one to invite them, and therefore have no chance to choose a dungeon. Most of them are randomly assigned to enter an unknown space when the time comes. If they want to form a team and enter a dungeon together, they need to use some temporary team items in the mall.

That is what Tang Ling and Qiu Zihan used.

Qiu Zihan is a minor who hasn't even finished high school. No one knows why he joined the foundation as a member of the exploration team, but looking at the way Tang Ling gets along with him, it is not difficult to see that although Qiu Zihan is a show-off, he listens to her the most.

This kid calls everyone he meets "brother or sister" with an attitude of "I'm really new, please guide me", and people don't know how to say anything to a minor, and he keeps a low profile and often praises them by saying "awesome", "great", and "too strong", so for a while no one gets angry at his familiarity and his popularity.

They were talking so loudly here that they soon attracted the remaining two people.

One is a shadow puppet from Zhaoying, named Jiang Jie, a thin man wearing a Zhongshan suit and a pigtail. According to Yun Guang, this was the identity she used when she was interacting with the Gu King who might be trapped here.

This shadow puppet Zhao Yinglai herself said that her initial positioning was actually to be the childhood friend of the domineering president who was a doctor. She was the type of person who would be called to the domineering president's house in the middle of the night to treat the heroine. Because when she came into contact with the domineering president's world, the domineering president was only in kindergarten. After she confirmed her identity as the protagonist, she immediately assumed the identity of a childhood friend.

Later, the Gu King's world was dissolved into some urban fantasy world by the Gu practitioner who had a ticket, and it suddenly became supernatural. The Gu King, who was originally just an ordinary and domineering boss, also disappeared in the direction of the fantasy city after dissolving the other side, and she, a doctor, became famous all of a sudden, and became the closed disciple of the medical saint beside the Taoist heir.

Since the two of them had known each other since King Gu was a child, and Jiang Jie was not a particularly replaceable younger brother, the two had always had a good relationship, and Jiang Jie even had King Gu's life card in his hand.

——This was the beginning of Zhao Ying’s entry into [Above Posa] this time.

As for the other one...it was a man named Chang William.

This person is a bit hard to describe.

First, when he introduced his name, Qiu Zihan asked, "William doesn't sound like a name a Chinese person would give. Are you also a foreign Chinese?"

This sentence opened Pandora's box.

William Chang immediately boasted about his identity in front of everyone. In summary, he was born into an extraordinary family. His family had been doing business for generations, and his business was particularly large. He had met the British Queen when he was a child, and he had a very good relationship with many members of the royal family. When he grew up, he was awarded a knighthood medal, and his name was changed after he received the medal.

The words were so exaggerated and the language was so abstract that even Qiu Zihan, who took the initiative to bring up this topic, regretted asking this question after listening for more than ten minutes.

Chang William boasted for a long time, and finally he had enough, so he stopped and looked at Bai Jin leisurely, "This Mr. Skao in the France of your world is..."

"Community clinic doctor." Bai Jinshu smiled.

"Oh..." William Chang said in a rhythmic voice, "That's a pity. From here on, we'll be friends for life. If we were in the same world, I would definitely take you to meet the British royal family. Their eldest prince and I are the heirs to the next king. We will definitely inherit the British Empire, you know? We have a very good relationship. We played golf together when we were young, and I also..."

"Will he ever stop..." Tang Ling felt annoyed and whispered something through his teeth.

"Sis, calm down!" Qiu Zihan grabbed her hand and shook it, "There's still one team member who hasn't arrived yet."

"Oh, by the way, I haven't asked you yet." Chang William boasted about his connections to Bai Jin for a long time, and finally remembered the others, "How many explorations have you experienced?"

Tang Ling smiled wryly: "Haha, not many times, I'm here to accompany my brother."

"It's not been many times for me," Qiu Zihan said, holding her tightly, "I'm still a newcomer."

Bo Jiren had experienced several explorations, but they were all E level. This was the first time he entered the E+ level. Di Xueni was in a similar situation. This copy was only E+, and no investor was willing to actively invite team members. Naturally, except for Bai Jinshu and others who came in on their own initiative, everyone else was randomly assigned in.

The team members randomly assigned according to the copy level are of course all below the level of E+.

Bai Jinshu came in to accompany Zhaoying to find someone and experiment with the fusion degree. He didn't want to be in the limelight. Skao liked to hide behind the scenes and control everything, and he didn't like to be in the limelight. So he didn't reveal his identity as a high-end team member. When Chang William asked, he just modestly said that he had only entered the dungeon twice.

This is actually true, [Skao] has indeed entered twice so far.

Zhao Yinglai followed suit and said that he was just a newcomer and had entered the dungeon two or three times.

What she said was actually not wrong. Zhao Yinglai was indeed a newcomer, but she was just recommended to the special space by [0106].

After everyone had finished introducing themselves, Chang William could no longer hide the pride on his face.

"I'm an old team member who has experienced more than 20 explorations, haha." He laughed twice without being modest. "You can just call me Brother William. I will lead you to explore. The E+ space is very simple! Even if we don't find anything during the exploration, we will still get 200 points if we survive for seven days!"

"Everyone knows this..." Tang Ling gritted his teeth, "This guy is so shameless."

"Sister," Qiu Zihan grabbed her tightly, "Calm down! Calm down!"

"Brother William." Only Bai Jinshu curled the corners of his mouth and really called out.

"Hey——" William Chang smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed. "Skao, can I call you Kao? Oh, it's like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. We are both foreigners, so it feels so familiar... It reminds me of the first time I returned to our China from the British Empire, and how I felt when I saw my compatriots after getting off the plane..."

"How can they be so friendly?" Di Xueni couldn't help but say, "One of them is French and the other is British."

"Why do you have to split Skao into S and Kao?" Tang Ling also collapsed, "Skull is a word."

"Does he really know English?" Qiu Zihan scratched his head, "Or does the Sun Never Sets in their world not speak English?"

"Ahem," Zhao Yinglai coughed lightly, "Maybe I just want to express my affection."

"Foreigners don't use word splitting to express affection, they use word deformation. For example, in the movie, Anthony's nickname is Tony, and I, who didn't even finish high school, knew that. I don't know that he has been abroad?" Qiu Zihan muttered, "Don't tell me this is a fake foreigner. I don't think his English is as good as our wizard's."

"What is a wizard?" Zhao Yinglai was curious.

"The wizard is Skao," Qiu Zihan shook his head, "Although he didn't v me fifty, I think he is much better than Chang William."

This time everyone nodded in agreement with genuine emotion.

It turns out that there is no harm without comparison. Compared with the pretending Chang William, Skao is simply an angel on earth and a wizard on earth.

"Master Fa is such a good man," Qiu Zihan sighed, "I couldn't even call him Brother William, but he actually called me that."

"Well...indeed." Zhao Yinglai was silent for a moment and then nodded.

Judging from what she saw after entering this unknown space, their captain Scaro seemed to be a really good person, which was completely different from the impression she had formed after hearing Guan Hongyan call him "the biggest weirdo" and Lu Changfeng call him "the god of luck".

He does seem like a good guy.

...Although she felt that the fact that Scaro could tolerate Chang William for such a long time without changing his expression and smiling showed that he was not a simple character.

Amid Chang William's bragging and Bai Jinshu's incoherent responses, as everyone was getting more and more frustrated, someone finally remembered that someone hadn't arrived yet.

"Why is there still one person who hasn't arrived?" Tang Ling looked at his watch. "Almost half an hour has passed. This shouldn't be the case."

According to common sense, the time difference between the exploration members of a team coming in is only a few minutes at most, and everyone can check in after gathering.

How come there is still one person who hasn’t arrived yet?

"Maybe he couldn't find our meeting place," Di Xueni looked around, "There are only houses here, he might be lost."

"It's possible," Tang Ling patted Qiu Zihan on the shoulder, "Qiu Zihan, you run fast, go check around to see if they are lost, bring them back and we can start exploring."

She'd had enough.

How long will Chang William continue to brag?

"Understood!" Qiu Zihan sprinted out.

He couldn't stand it anymore.

How could there be someone like Chang William who talks so much! Someone who likes to show off so much!

Everyone around him used this reason to stay away from Chang William.

"Oh, Cao..." The two brothers Chang William seemed to want to put their hands on Bai Jinshu's shoulders.

"Excuse me," the long-haired young man in front of him took a step back slightly, "I have mysophobia."

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay. You doctors, I know all doctors are like this!" The embarrassment on his face flashed away. "The family doctor of the British Prince is like this too. We've known each other for many years, but he won't let us touch him. Hahaha..."

"What are all these people around here doing?" Chang William boasted for a long time before realizing that there were only two of them here. "Have we checked in and can we start exploring?"

"No," Bai Jinshu still had a smile on his face, "because there is still one person missing."

Of course, other people didn't know what was going on, but he knew.

The missing person is naturally Huai Jiamu, who took up a spot and merged in as soon as he entered the dungeon.

You won't find anyone here.

However, since he had made up his mind not to reveal his identity this time, he had no intention of stepping forward and saying that the missing person was his teammate. Instead, he stood by and watched coldly as others searched for the person.

We looked around, but naturally found nothing.

"What's going on?" Tang Ling returned to the gathering point. "Could it be that this person hasn't come in yet?"

"It doesn't necessarily mean that he didn't come in," Zhao Yinglai said casually after listening to Lu Changfeng's story about his first encounter with his brother Ao and what Yang Pei did, "It could also be that he's dead."

"Dead?" Before Tang Ling could say anything, Chang William shouted, "Someone died before signing in? You guys didn't kill him, did you?"

This sentence should have caused everyone to be suspicious of each other.

But coming from William Chang’s mouth…

Tang Ling rolled his eyes and said perfunctorily, "How is that possible? All of us here are newcomers, and you are the only old one. Could it be that you killed someone and then framed us?"

"How could it be me!" William Chang argued, "I believe in Jesus, and I swear to God that I didn't kill anyone! Otherwise I can't go to heaven! And I've been to the Holy Land in person, and the Pope and I once..."

Everyone turned their heads silently and no one paid any attention to him.

Qiu Zihan even whispered to her sister: "We heard in history class that this religion has the concept of indulgences. Maybe he bought 999 of them and killed them to his heart's content."

"Be careful with your words!" Tang Ling gave him a slap on the head without any hesitation, "See if you can fill in the position?"

"No, he should not be dead." Bo Jiren shook his head.

"What should we do?" Di Xueni asked, "We can't start exploring without all of us together?"

"Let's sign in first," Tang Ling thought for a moment and signed in, "You guys sign in too."

Everyone signed in and completed the task.

"Brother William," Bai Jinshu raised his lips and reminded Chang William who was still telling the story between him and the Pope, "Sign in."

"Oh, okay, Cao, you are also a foreigner, you should also believe in Jesus, you testify for me, I absolutely would not kill anyone!" He did not forget to pull Bai Jinshu along.

"I am a non-believer." Bai Jinshu smiled.

Skao is not religious, and neither is he.

If he had to choose one, he would rather believe Huai Jiamu.

"Look, the countdown has begun," Bai Jinshu suddenly reminded Chang William before he could continue speaking, "We have completed our sign-in, and the live broadcast will begin in thirty seconds."

"Hey, it's really done," Qiu Zihan blinked in shock, "Then why are we missing one person?"

"I don't know," Zhao Yinglai blinked, "Let's get ready to explore."

There is a good chance that the person she is looking for is here.

"Don't panic! I have never encountered this situation before, but the fact that I can sign in now means there is no problem! We must trust the Foundation! Believe..."

"Is your ancestral home in Dunhuang?" Tang Ling finally couldn't help it.

"Dunhuang?" William Chang was confused for two seconds. "We don't have this place, but since you asked, Dunhuang must be your hometown..."

"No," Qiu Zihan couldn't help but say, "My sister means that there are many murals in Dunhuang..."

How could there be someone as shameless and talkative as Chang William!

So annoying!

He had explored dozens of times before how his teammates had tolerated him!

At this moment, everyone felt deeply sympathetic towards all of Chang William’s former teammates!

"Master Fa is truly an extraordinary person..." Di Xueni took a deep breath, "I can't believe I could tolerate him for so long."

"It may be that the wizard's Chinese is not very good so I can't understand him," Qiu Zihan said sincerely, "It's just like when I listen to English listening. If I don't understand, I won't be bothered."

Everyone:……

That makes sense.

In this eerie silence, the live broadcast finally began.

It was just an E-class space, and it was the second exploration. The popularity of the live broadcast room was shockingly low. Only a dozen investors came to see who the second team of explorers were, and silently calculated in their hearts how much more they wanted to invest.

[It’s finally open, why is it more than half an hour late? 】

[Today's potential value is not right. Did someone spend money to invite popular people to come in? ]

[More than 10,000 potential users... The money from inviting popular users is more than the investment. No one would do such a loss-making business, right? ]

[So it was just luck that assigned one? ]

[…I would rather not have this great fortune, why is it Chang William, this bitch. ]

【？ 】

【？ ？ ？】

On the screen, Chang William was still talking about his "glorious past".

"Let's go," Tang Ling pulled Qiu Zihan, "This is what happens when you don't study hard."

Qiu Zihan: "If I don't study hard, I'll become a pretentious person?"

"If you don't study hard, you will become a pretentious person who can be seen through by an illiterate like you who didn't complete compulsory education." Tang Ling replied.

"I finished it! High school is not compulsory education!" Qiu Zihan yelled, "I just didn't finish high school!"

Tang Lingyouyou: "Speak more quietly, is it glorious?"

Qiu Zihan: "I'm only fifteen, there's no way I can finish high school... Uh-huh."

"Thank you for your hard work." Zhao Yinglai nodded to Tang Ling.

Tang Ling: "Serve the people."

"Sister, if you really want to serve the people, you should shut Chang William's mouth." Qiu Zihan said vaguely.

Investors on the barrage are also devastated:

[Chang William’s score is so high?! Who on earth has nothing better to do than to angel invest in him?! What a psycho!!!!]

[Probably... I just want to see him show off and fail...]

[There is a group of people in the forum who raise him as a digital pet. It is that group of people who invested in it... If you want to scold him, go to Chang William's digital pet building and fuck him precisely...]

【Goodbye, I can't stand him, I'm quitting now. 】

[Brother, take me with you, I will go to the forum to curse people...]

[Wait a minute... who is that person behind the Tamagotchi? Is it because I want to make money so much that I am hallucinating? ]

【What the hell.】

[Are the two guys who retired earlier still here? ]

[It seems to be gone, the number of viewers has decreased by two. 】

[Oh my, they left too early. Behind the Tamagotchi is Aoshen! ]

【! 】

【！ ！ ！】

[A nervous knife... I am destined to be a nervous knife... After more than 20 years of eating meat and vegetables, I finally got an SSR today! ! ! ! ]

The author has something to say:
