I believe anyone with an eye can guess what kind of relationship it is.

Faced with this question, Yang Jia's first reaction wasn't to refute or deny it, but rather, "Can you please stop saying it as if it's shameful?"

After she realized what was happening, she was embarrassed for a moment. But when she saw the indescribable expression on Zhuo Tianyang's face, Yang Jia couldn't help but laugh.

Ever since he appeared in front of him, Zhuo Tianyang had always been a bit condescending and indifferent. Although this feeling was very faint and not enough to make people feel uncomfortable, Yang Jia was still very happy to see the other party's expression change.

But after she was done laughing, she looked at Li Bai guiltily again.

It turned out that Li Bai was not looking at her at all, and seemed not to have heard the words at all, but was observing the surrounding environment.

Yang Jia followed her gaze and finally grasped the key point. "Where is this?"

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Li Bai. Her attention was completely focused on him, so she naturally didn't pay attention to her surroundings. When she spotted Zhuo Tianyang and the other three "acquaintances," she gave them even less thought. Only now did she realize that since they were all trapped under the collapsed mountain, it was impossible for them to be completely unharmed.

Besides, if they haven't been rescued yet, they should be buried in the ground. If they are rescued, they should be surrounded by other players.

However, none of these inferences are as convincing as the unfamiliar environment before us.

Let alone what the scene at the collapse would be like, even before the mountain collapsed, the place they were in definitely wouldn't be what they saw now. Anyway, Yang Jia glanced at the surrounding scenery, and the content he had learned in textbooks suddenly emerged in his mind: "Beautiful mountains and clear waters, birds singing and flowers blooming."

Unlike the dangerous environment outside the city, although there are dense forests here, it seems very peaceful, with gurgling streams, singing birds, warm sunshine, and the fragrance of flowers.

If he wasn't sure that he was awake, Yang Jia would have suspected that he was dreaming.

Even in photos taken with various lighting and post-processing, she had never seen such a beautiful environment. After all, such a place did not exist outside the city, and although there was greenery in the city, it was far from this standard.

This was a place that could make people addicted, but Yang Jia felt wary. What was going on?

Zhuo Tianyang, who was still struggling to explain herself, naturally couldn't answer. Li Bai gave her the answer, "I don't know. I woke up here."

Yang Jia glanced at Li Bai. After all, she was now accustomed to the fact that this was a game world, so this impossible situation in reality could be explained. After changing her mindset, Yang Jia quickly concluded, "Maybe the system teleported him to some independent space? Like a dungeon or something."

But... Yang Jia had tried many ways to enter the dungeon, but he never thought that one day he would enter in this way.

However, rather than being a dungeon, this was more like a "story mode" from a game Yang Jia had played before. Players in this mode were in a different plane from the other players, just like in a dungeon, except that the storyline had fewer combat elements and required players to complete quests instead.

Looking left and right, it doesn't look like there's a need for fighting here, so just complete the mission?

She expressed her guess, which was unanimously agreed upon by others.

"So, let's start the search. I hope it's not too hidden, and it doesn't take too long." Yang Jia said, habitually opening his backpack to check it. Then he chose a direction and walked forward.

After walking for a while, she realized something was wrong. She turned around and saw four little tails following her.

It was only natural for Li Bai to follow him, but what about the others? Yang Jia looked at Zhuo Tianyang, "Why are you following me? Go find a mission."

"It's so dangerous here, why don't we go together?" Zhuo Tianyang said with a righteous look on his face.

Yang Jia thought about it and realized that was indeed the case. The issue wasn't whether there was danger here or not. The most important thing was that they didn't know where this place was and didn't have a map. Who knew if they could ever get back together after they dispersed? After all, they might not be able to find their way back after leaving.

Thinking of the map, Yang Jia took out his seal.

But no matter how she stimulated it, the seal showed no reaction, and had no intention of projecting a map like before.

This also indirectly confirmed Yang Jia's idea that this map was not within the game world, but was independent. However, he didn't know how big it was.

The five men walked through the forest for a long time, but there was no sign of them leaving. Finally, they had to stop to rest and reconsider their previous assumptions. If this place was so large, and they really needed to find their way out, it would be too terrifying.

I feel like I can never finish it even if I do it forever.

Generally speaking, it is impossible for a game to have such unreasonable settings, unless... there is a bug.

"Impossible." Upon hearing this speculation, Zhuo Tianyang said without hesitation, "This game is run autonomously by an intelligent mainframe, without any human intervention. How could there be a bug?"

Seeing him speak so decisively, Yang Jia, a country bumpkin who had never seen an intelligent mainframe, subconsciously retorted, "People make mistakes, but programs can't make mistakes too?"

"Of course." Zhuo Tianyang said.

Yang Jia argued, "But programs are designed by humans. No matter how smart the intelligent mainframe is, there will always be problems when it runs. Isn't it normal to have bugs?"

"You are talking about ordinary programs. The intelligent main brain is different." Zhuo Tianyang insisted.

The topic has to stop here. If we continue, it will become a case of different ideas being unable to coexist.

Yang Jia had no intention of contradicting him. She simply felt that no matter how intelligent a system was, there would always be problems. For example, if there were no problems with the game system, how did she appear?

However, there was no need to reveal such a secret, so Yang Jia quickly calmed down and said, "Okay, as you said, it's not a bug. If the program is set up like this, there must be a way to solve it, but we just haven't found it yet. So, let's move on."

She stood up and walked quickly forward. Li Bai was the first to follow. Zhuo Tianyang looked at his followers. Xu Mo and Zhuo Han were both looking at him in silence. So he sighed and followed in resigned manner.

He was quick-witted, and after a few steps, he felt happy again. After all, in this isolated space, he could guarantee that no other players had entered the game yet. In other words, they were ahead of everyone else. Seeing this kind of excitement was certainly very interesting.

But after all, there was no other discovery. After the novelty of this incident wore off, Zhuo Tianyang's thoughts turned to other things.

Well...the two people walking in front of him.

In Zhuo Tianyang's opinion, Yang Jia and Li Bai didn't get along like a couple, at least not in the slightest, and even their eye contact was normal. But he wasn't sure if they weren't in that kind of relationship, anyway, it felt very subtle.

So he stared at the backs of the two people for a long time.

Even a dead person might react if stared at like this, let alone Yang Jia and Li Bai?

After walking for a while, Zhuo Tianyang saw Li Bai turn around and give him a sharp look. Although he didn't say anything, the threat was clear. Even Zhuo Tianyang felt an inexplicable pressure when facing such a look. When Li Bai turned back, before he could relax, Yang Jia looked over again.

Compared to Li Bai, her eyes are much gentler, but she can speak!

"What are you looking at?" she asked.

Zhuo Tianyang didn't mean to be shy. "You didn't answer me directly before. Are you two in that kind of relationship?"

"What's wrong? Are you discriminating or just can't accept it?" Yang Jia still didn't answer directly, but instead asked back. This was actually a statement of opinion. Li Bai's previous silence gave Yang Jia a lot of courage, and now he spoke again, he didn't feel guilty at all.

"No, no, no, I absolutely don't discriminate, nor am I unacceptable!" Zhuo Tianyang hurriedly explained, but when asked to explain the reason, he acted like he had something to hide. Just as he was about to talk about something else, he suddenly noticed the difference and pointed at that place and said, "Look!"

Yang Jia suspected he was trying to change the subject, but still looked in the direction he pointed. He was surprised and delighted when he saw it. "Is that a city?"

"It's not really a city, it can only be called a small town at best." Zhuo Tianyang said, and did not forget to reiterate his opinion, "I said, the intelligent mainframe will not make mistakes."

Yang Jia didn't take his nagging seriously. After all, seeing a town meant there were people nearby. If there were people, they wouldn't need to continue trekking through the forest, and the elusive mission seemed to have been resolved.

"Let's go down and take a look!" she said.

This time, Li Bai didn't let her walk in front, but walked in that direction first.

However, if the task were that easy to complete, the system wouldn't be called an intelligent mastermind. So, even though they saw the town, they walked for a long time but never arrived. Even if one looked closely, they'd notice the distance between them and the town hadn't shortened.

"Actually..." Xu Mo, who hadn't spoken a word from beginning to end, scratched his head and finally said his first sentence, which was an uncertain guess, "I always feel like we seem to be circling around the same place and haven't gone far at all."
