Chapter 208 Three Thousand Worlds
White light.
Xie Fangcheng ran forward two steps out of inertia before stopping.
In the end, he was unable to get back in time, which made Jie Fangcheng feel very regretful.
I agreed to give Professor Zhang a call before leaving...
"Brother Jie!"
Jie Fangcheng turned around and saw Zhan Xiaoming waving at him excitedly: "Wow, what a coincidence! We are in the same district!"
Jie Fangcheng first looked behind him.
This is a "player lobby" that is completely different from "Don't Answer". At first glance, all you can see are green leaves, blocking out the sun and making it almost impossible to see anything else.
There was a medieval European-style carriage flying in the sky, and the one driving the carriage was a miniature "elf". When Jie Fangcheng looked carefully, he found that it was probably some kind of high-tech robot, but it was made to look like a miniature elf.
The surroundings were very lively, with many people coming and going at the teleportation point, and many of them were obviously not ordinary humans. Some had cat ears and cat tails, and they could leap several meters with their bodies bent. Some had black scales on their faces. Some had human upper bodies, but when they looked down, they could see that their lower bodies were tentacles that were wriggling...
The majority here are naturally humans with normal appearance, followed by green-eyed elves with pointy ears and dressed more beautifully than each other.
This was a scene that Jie Fangcheng had never seen before. At this moment, it was no exaggeration to say that the shock of these inhuman beings in front of him had made Jie forget that he was running hard just a second ago, wanting to see Professor Zhang for the last time.
Oh my god...that’s awesome!
Zhan Xiaoming declined the invitation of the emergency treatment cabin beside him, "Do you need treatment?" The emergency treatment cabin is convenient and fast, but expensive. Although his hand was broken in the small world, after the doctor's treatment, it is not life-threatening at present. When he comes back, he can just lie down in the ordinary repair cabin, which is very cheap.
Seeing Jie Fangcheng's face full of shock, Zhan Xiaoming understood him very well and ran over with a smile: "I went to play in Area E before, and I was also shocked when I first saw the mermaid in Area E."
"What do you mean?"
Zhan Xiaoming explained: "Mermaids cannot leave the water for a long time, so among the entire player community, basically all mermaids are in the E8 zone. Brother Jie, you don't know that, wow!"
Zhan Xiaoming's eyes lit up as he spoke: "The mermaid's tail is so big! It looks so beautiful! And the tail is not only big and beautiful, it is said to be very powerful when fighting! But I feel that those mermaids are very powerful whether they have tails or not, and they all have abdominal muscles. I also want to be a mermaid, but the mermaid bloodline is ranked too high, and it is too expensive to change the bloodline."
"..." Jie Fangcheng tried to understand, "Then why don't you live in that district?"
"District E8." Zhan Xiaoming regretted, "District E8 is too humid, it's all water, I'm afraid I'll get tidal sickness if I go there. Plus, the house prices are expensive, after all, District E8 is a tourist destination!"
Jie Fangcheng: “…”
When he heard Zhan Xiaoming talk about it before, Jie Fangcheng had always thought that this game "Three Thousand Worlds" was similar to "Don't Answer", where players were deceiving each other and there was no warmth between them. The player lobby was just a transit station, and almost every player was on the way to the next dungeon.
But judging from what Zhan Xiaoming said, this game seems to have developed a kind of "civilization". They even have tourist attractions?
Fortunately, Zhan Xiaoming was a talkative person, so Jie Fangcheng didn't need to ask. He just took Jie Fangcheng for a walk and started introducing things.
"Brother Jie, we are now in the 19th sub-area of Area D, or Area D19 for short. There are six areas in the game, Areas A, B, C, D, E, F. Except for Area A, the other five areas have a district chief. The winner of the 'hunting competition' held every ten years automatically becomes the district chief. Brother Jie, you came at a good time, as this year is the first year of the 'hunting competition'. The area we are in now is Area D. The district chief of our area is the 'Elf Queen', who loves peace, so our area is also the most peaceful and humane area."
As he spoke, Zhan Xiaoming pointed and motioned Jie Fangcheng to look up.
Jie Fangcheng looked up and was stunned for a moment.
Above his head, countless broad leaves, each about one or two hundred square meters in size, emitted a luminous green light. They hung high under the pitch-black dome, moving without wind.
And behind the layers of leaves, you can vaguely see a bright Milky Way.
No one knows how far away this Milky Way is, nor how long it is. It is a spectacular sight formed by billions of "stars" connected together.
"That's where we came from, also called the 'Jumping Nebula'. Whether we want to enter the dungeon or hunting ground from the player lobby, or come back from the dungeon or hunting ground, or go to other areas, we have to transfer through the Jumping Nebula."
It was not until this moment that Jie Fangcheng realized that this game was indeed "Three Thousand Worlds".
"How many people are there in this game?"
"Ah?" Zhan Xiaoming thought about it with some distress. "I really don't remember this. I'm not good at history, but the current active population... is there at least several hundred billion?"
Jie Fangcheng opened his mouth: "Three thousand worlds?"
Zhan Xiaoming: "Oh, that quantifier is just a general number. There are more than 3,000 S-level hunting grounds that can be entered now."
Each hunting ground is a small world that is about to collapse. S-level is the highest level, and there are more than three thousand hunting grounds of the highest level. You can imagine how huge this game is.
This was not an "illegal den" that Jie Fangcheng could destroy alone. At this moment, Jie Fangcheng felt that he really needed Professor Zhang.
Zhan Xiaoming had no idea that the guy next to him who had just entered the game was thinking about nothing else but the possibility of getting rid of the game. Zhan Xiaoming continued to introduce cheerfully, "Each area has different characteristics. For example, our D area is peaceful, while the C area that doesn't deal with us is more chaotic. They like to fight and cheat people more. Their area chief is 'Tianzi', a piece of trash."
Zhan Xiaoming said with disdain, "Anyway, the C zone is full of scum. Their zone chief is that kind of person, and they support him very much. Brother Jie, you can just ignore the people in the C zone in the future. Of course, it's better to kill them! Players can switch their permanent zones freely and for free. With the character of 'Son of Heaven', the people in their zone don't run away. You can imagine that they are all garbage. Oh, by the way, let me call the players from our last dungeon. I'll treat them! Let's go have a meal and talk while we eat!"
As he spoke, Zhan Xiaoming's eyes were fixed, and he was obviously operating his system screen.
Then Jie Fangcheng heard him curse "Fuck!"
"What's wrong?" Jie Fangcheng asked.
Zhan Xiaoming was depressed: "Why is Sister Liu in Zone C? I don't want to add anyone from Zone C as my friend."
Jie Fangcheng also opened his own system interface and quickly found the friend interface.
Three friend requests came in a flash. The names of Liu Feiyao, Han Ruixing, and Pei Xiaodong appeared in the request list one after another.
This shows that this game is indeed much more high-tech than "Don't Answer".
The friend list in Don't Answer is as simple as it can be, with just a single name.
But the system interface of "Three Thousand Worlds" is very rich. It not only has a name, but also an avatar, signature, information... and even a "world circle", but I don't know what it is for.
Among the three, Liu Feiyao's avatar signature is blank, but Han Ruixing and Pei Xiaodong have their own avatars. Han Ruixing's avatar is a dynamic old man in white gauze with an immortal look, and his signature reads "tranquility leads to far-reaching goals, indifference leads to clear ambitions."
Pei Xiaodong is a cat drawn with simple strokes, and his signature is "Newbie, need your help QAQ".
By clicking on the three people’s avatars, you can also see their respective basic information.
For example, for Liu Feiyao, the column for her permanent residence clearly stated "Zone C", but it did not give a specific number.
"Brother Jie, let's add each other as friends first."
The next second, Zhan Xiaoming’s avatar also popped up, “Mingxin Fried Nuts Shop”, with the signature “Authentic fried melon seeds are all in area C19, 150 points for free delivery across the area++++”, very micro-business.
After Jie Fangcheng added him, Zhan Xiaoming was stunned for a moment.
"Brother Jie, your...your avatar..."
"What?" Jie Fangcheng clicked on his personal profile and was stunned for a moment.
He had clearly never been to this game, but his personal avatar had already been set.
It was a bird's-eye view of the sky, showing a white round "planet" surrounded by six other smaller planets in an endless black, ocean-like fog.
Where is this?
He has never seen this place before, and this photo was not taken by him at all, so why does it appear on his profile picture?
Zhan Xiaoming standing by was also puzzled: "Brother Jie, is there a bug here? Why did you use a photo from Area A as your profile picture?"
Jie Fangcheng turned his head and looked at him: "Area A?"
"Well, that's not the case." Zhan Xiaoming explained, "The current Area A is not like this, but I have seen it in the library before. The first six 'founders' built the "Three Thousand Worlds" based on a collapsed pure white world. The very beginning of the game looked like this."
Jie Fangcheng was also confused: "But I have never taken such a photo, and I didn't change this profile picture."
"It's a bug, right?" Zhan Xiaoming said confidently, "Brother Jie, don't be fooled by the high-tech appearance of Three Thousand Worlds. I heard from my uncle that since the creation of this game system, there have been bugs every year, and there are still bugs now. Programmers are also a popular position in our game. Some powerful programmers can already support themselves by fixing bugs without leaving dungeons."
This is probably a common problem of the system. No matter how high-tech it is, once one BUG is fixed, the next one will appear immediately.
Jie Fangcheng couldn't explain what was going on with his profile picture, but the photo was taken quite well and had a strong atmosphere, so Jie Fangcheng was too lazy to change it.
Over there, Zhan Xiaoming sent messages to Liu Feiyao and the other three one by one, inviting them to have dinner at Area C19. After sending the messages, he clicked on "Recent Team Building" and then exclaimed, "Huh?"
"Damn it!" Zhan Xiaoming was depressed and muttered to the side, "Why are the people who should be in District D not here, but the people who shouldn't be in District D are here!"
Soon, Xie Fangcheng understood why he said that.
In front of the teleportation point, an emergency treatment cabin opened and Zhou Yian walked out.
He did receive treatment in the small world, but the injuries on his body were beyond the limits of what the medical level of that small world could heal.
In the later stage, Zhan Xiaoming could get out of bed and run around vigorously, but Zhou Yian could only move himself with the help of crutches.
His internal organs were all damaged, with his heart being the most seriously damaged, but when it came to appearance, the most obvious damage was on his skin.
In the "Genius Kindergarten" copy, everyone looks like a child, but Zhou Yian no longer looks like a child. His skin is wrinkled and even drags on the ground, and all the muscles in his body look like they are about to fall apart.
As soon as he left the teleportation point, Zhou Yian heard the voice of the system coming from beside him.
[System reminder: It is detected that your organs are damaged in many places and the skin damage is too high. Do you want to activate the emergency treatment cabin? ]
The injuries on Zhou Yian's body are no longer in danger of death, but his skin has not recovered to its original state. He still looks like a mangy dog, with layers of skin piled up on his body, and the cracks that have not healed are still clearly visible.
The emergency treatment cabin is very expensive, but with such a heavy load on his body, Zhou Yian really doesn't want to go anywhere else.
He chose "yes".
Although the dungeon he cleared this time was a level one dungeon, probably because he killed the parent NPC himself, which was considered a small BOSS, his rating was not low, it was level B, and he was rewarded with more than three hundred points in total. The minimum number of points required to open the emergency treatment cabin was one hundred per second.
Zhou Yian chose the lowest intensity of surface treatment in the treatment cabin, but he was reluctant to spend all his points, so he finished the treatment in just two seconds.
When he came out, the skin on his body had indeed become much better, at least it was already sticking to his own body.
Although it was still loose and the scars were attached to his body like centipedes, at least it was presentable.
Zhou Yian put on his hood and lowered his head.
He raised his eyes, trying to identify the direction, and prepared to go to the nearest medical room that provided treatment. It must be said that this is the good thing about District D, because the district chief is the Elf King, who protects many elves, and the blood characteristics of the elves are affinity with nature. In other words, elves are basically born to be skilled doctors. Therefore, in the entire District D, whether it is the prosperous District D1 or the most remote and backward District D100, there are many medical rooms, and the prices are very cheap.
One hundred points are enough for him to treat his other injuries.
What Zhou Yian didn't expect was that when he raised his eyes, the first thing he saw were two players standing not far away.
Although he looks different from when he was in kindergarten, Jie Fangcheng's face is indeed unforgettable.
The same weird appearance, and accompanied by a silly-looking bumpkin.
Xie Fangcheng, Zhan Xiaoming.
Zhou Yian's expression suddenly became extremely complicated.
Of course he understood what Zhang Siquan said.
Zhou Yian always felt that Jie Fangcheng was cruel to him. Such a powerful man could kill Zhou Yian's "parents" with just a wave of his hand and help him at the same time, but Jie Fangcheng behaved very indifferently from beginning to end and was only kind to other players.
After being beaten by Jie Fangcheng, it was impossible to say that he didn't feel any resentment in his heart, but the words Jie Fangcheng said were so touching that Zhou Yian himself had to admit that he was right.
Later on, when Zhou Yian heard what Zhang Siquan said, he felt resentment and a strange sense of gratitude in his heart.
It would be too easy for Jie Fangcheng to kill me, but hasn’t he done that yet?
Not only did he not kill him, but in order to avoid killing him, this mysophobic person even approached himself who was in such an ugly state at the time, and personally knocked the queen worm out of his heart.
So the other party...actually saved himself?
It was not just this time. During the past two days in the hospital, Zhou Yian kept thinking about everything that happened after he entered the copy. Then he remembered that the first person Jie Fangcheng saved was himself.
At that time, he was being chased by a ghost on the ceiling, and Jie Fangcheng knocked the ghost away with a stick.
So Zhou Yian, who originally had only resentment in his heart and vaguely felt the desire for revenge, now has extremely complicated emotions.
He looked at Jie Fangcheng with a complicated expression, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally walked over slowly.
Zhan Xiaoming looked constipated beside Jie Fangcheng, and whispered to Jie brother beside him: "Jie brother, is it because his face is full of scars now that I can't understand this expression? Why do I feel that he is so weird?"
Jie Fangcheng had no idea that Zhou Yian had so many twists and turns in his mind. He was also muttering to himself. Not only that, Jie Fangcheng was also looking around.
It is true that this player hall is full of trees, but the trees are as thick as they can be, and are not suitable for use as sticks.
What should I do then?
Jie Fangcheng was actually a little panicked. Zhou Yian looked very dirty. The emergency treatment cabin could only heal injuries but could not allow people to change clothes with just one click.
Zhou Yian's skin was in that condition at the time. It wasn't just blood, there was also pus on his body and face!
You can't let Jie Fangcheng fight him with his bare hands, right? Just thinking about it makes me feel suffocated.
When Zhou Yian arrived in front of the two of them, he looked at Jie Fangcheng in silence.
Jie Fangcheng waved his fist, not quite confident: "What are you looking at? Are you looking for a fight?"
Zhou Yian's mind was racing.
Indeed, Zhang Siquan is right.
Actually, this person... is really good to me.
Look at him now, although he said he wanted to hit himself, he actually took half a step back.
Zhou Yian felt balanced.
"If..." Zhou Yi calmed down and asked, "If we meet again in the next dungeon, will you still help me?"
"Huh?" Jie Fangcheng really didn't know what he was thinking.
Zhou Yian just looked at him hesitantly and said, "Goodbye."
"???"
After Zhou Yian walked away, Xie Fangcheng still felt as if he had eaten a fly and his throat was uncomfortable.
"What is that?" asked Jie Fangcheng.
Zhan Xiaoming was even worse than him: "What is he saying? Why do I feel like I don't understand a word of it?"
Both of them were confused by Zhou Yian's sudden action.
Jie Fangcheng thought again, if only Zhang Daoan was here, that guy would know what Zhou Yian was doing at a glance.
I don’t know when Professor Zhang will come to this game. Will they really meet again next time?
If we can't meet again...at least in that small world, Professor Zhang is still there, right?
Maybe he could return to that world?
After Jie Fangcheng finished thinking about all this, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand why he was thinking so much and touched his ear a little at a loss.
Zhan Xiaoming has completed his mission of recruiting people.
He restrained his impulse and added Liu Feiyao as his friend, preparing to have a good chat with this girl after they met in person, slandering District C and praising District D.
Although the ranking of the six districts, ABCDEF, in the game has nothing to do with strength, over the years, each district does have its strengths and weaknesses.
It is now generally recognized and has always been the case that Area A is the strongest. After all, the six "founders" are now in Area A1. Although no one has seen these six founders for a thousand or two thousand years, they are the managers of the game and the highest level of the game, and this is beyond doubt.
In addition, the six major guilds are also in Area A1. Even the natives of Area F are very clear about the legends of the six major guilds. Area A is the core of the players. No matter when and what ranking is made, the players will not discuss Area A together with the other five areas. There is no need to discuss this at all.
In addition to the A zone, which has always been strong, the most widely recognized ranking in the past ten years is that the C zone is the strongest among the other five zones. The "Son of Heaven" is strong, and the C zone has always been a place where force is respected, so the second place of the C zone is well deserved.
Next is Area B, followed by Area D and Area E.
As for Area F…it’s a very strange area, and there is only one area in the entire Area F at the moment.
"For example, our D area has a total of 126 sub-areas, that is to say, we have a total of D1 to D126 areas, each area is composed of a collapsed small world. The small world in our D19 area was a zombie world before it collapsed. The zombies destroyed all the creatures in the entire world, and finally died due to lack of food. So after the D19 area was recovered, the Elf King sowed "seeds" in the world, giving this small world new life. Today, the city construction in the D19 area is relatively ordinary, but the species are richer and the food is more diverse... Oh, it's hard to understand just by me saying it. Brother Jie, you will know it after we return to the D19 area from the player lobby through the jumping nebula!"
As the two were talking, soon, a flash of white light appeared in the teleportation area.
Liu Feiyao and the other two appeared in front of the two men one after another.
Zhan Xiaoming waved his hands excitedly: "Here, here!"
The five people finally successfully met up, and four of them chattered about their ratings and rewards for completing the copy.
Liu Feiyao's rating is A, Zhan Xiaoming and Han Ruixing are both B, and Pei Xiaodong is C.
"We'll go and identify the items later!" Zhan Xiaoming was very excited, "I also got an item with special skills!"
As the lowest level copy, the level one copy basically gives out ordinary-level rewards, and high-quality items with special skills are rare.
But because of this 100% survival rate, everyone has at least one quality uncertified item in their hands, which is a pleasant surprise.
Jie Fangcheng originally didn't have any idea about props, he didn't really need them.
But he doesn't need it, but Professor Zhang does.
Jie Fangcheng also thought about it. He didn't know for sure that the next time he would see Professor Zhang would be in a copy, and Professor Zhang might still be an NPC.
Then in the next instance, if we still cannot take him away, at least leave some powerful items for him to use. We must hold on until Jie Fangcheng can find a solution before we can do anything else.
Jie Fangcheng had this thought in his mind and was absent-minded for a moment.
At this moment, Pei Xiaodong beside him suddenly discovered something and opened his eyes wide.
“Look!”
Jie Fangcheng raised his head as if he had sensed something.
What I saw just now was a white dragon swimming slowly in front of the Milky Way covered by leaves.
