Chapter 4 It seems we will meet again...
Lin Han lay down in the game cabin again.
In these few short hours, he seemed to have done a lot of useless work going in and out. Looking back now, it would have been faster to just experience the game directly. It seemed like he was always afraid of something.
Frankly speaking, he had a subtle bad feeling. Perhaps it was because he had not had very good luck, or perhaps it was because he did not have enough understanding of the new world. In short, he felt that something bad was waiting for him in the game.
Just a game made him hesitate and hesitate.
This was really unlike him, and at this moment, watching the game cabin slowly closing above him and snatching away all the light, Lin Han's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, but he inevitably sank into the unknown world in the darkness, declaring that he had established a connection with the new world.
-
When Lin Han opened his eyes, he was lying on the bed. The warm quilt and the faint light coming through the curtains made him feel rare and comfortable.
Although the room was small, every furnishing was full of life. He squinted his eyes and even felt drowsy as if he was about to fall asleep again.
It was clear that he was wide awake the first two times he entered the game. Lin Han was a little confused. He shook off the idea of "continuing to sleep" that was lingering in his mind, lifted the quilt and sat up in one go. He was completely awake until he opened the curtains and was unable to open his eyes due to the sunlight.
The clock on the desk showed that it was nine forty in the morning.
The black admission letter was still placed in the middle of the desk, with a few small gold-plated characters shining in the sunlight. Lin Han picked it up and took another look at it.
His name has been filled in the blank, and in the following games, he will use his real name "Lin Han" to play this role.
However, Lin Han's gaze lingered on the admission letter for a while longer.
Dear Lin Han, you have been admitted to the college. Please bring this admission letter and report before noon on Monday.
Today outside the game is Monday, what day is it in the game?
The bad premonition became stronger and stronger. If Lin Han guessed correctly, he might have found the reason.
Without thinking too much, Lin Han looked around and found the cell phone in the schoolbag hanging on the stool.
The phone's battery was running low, but fortunately he could see the date - Monday, May 24, 2123.
I looked at the time again. It was 9:45, and there were still two hours and fifteen minutes left until the reporting deadline.
Lin Han: “…”
The hidden character of the freshman is that he gets a chance to switch the game mode. Even if this is triggered forcibly, it is unattainable for countless players who have chosen the life mode. The real reason lies in this admission letter.
He signed his name on the acceptance letter, which triggered a series of changes, but if he did not complete the reporting questions required by the acceptance letter within the specified time, his hidden role would probably lose its original hiding place.
Without hidden characters, and with the role setting of ordinary students that has changed the game mode but has nothing special about it, Lin Han has only one comment: extremely difficult.
After watching the live broadcast for a while, Lin Han was sure that other players could call up the system panel at any time after entering the game to confirm their panel data, and could also check information such as the tasks they had accepted.
In some cases, a guide will appear to provide guidance to new players. Even old players can easily get in touch with the guide. At least in those live broadcasts, Lin Han has seen other players' guides more than once, wearing the same deacon uniforms and patiently answering players' questions and even giving them advice.
What about Lin Han?
After leaving the space where the character was extracted, Lin Han neither saw the game panel nor his guide again.
Time was still passing, and Lin Han didn't have much time to think. He swiped around him twice, hoping that a panel like the one when extracting a character would appear, but unfortunately, nothing appeared.
Although holographic games have become popular, Blue Star has not yet thoroughly researched the panel operation mode in holographic games, which can appear and disappear at any time. Currently, only a few high-tech exhibition centers have a small number of applications. But it must be said that after a lot of attempts without success, Lin Han felt a little embarrassed.
He pursed his lips and called out, "Alfred. Alfred?"
Half a minute later, Lin Han was completely disappointed as he still hadn't received a response.
No system, no guide, none of them are reliable. It’s better for him to rely on himself.
But deep down, Lin Han actually had a new guess - perhaps it was because his hidden character was the first experimental subject to switch from life mode to fantasy mode, so he encountered the situation he was facing at the moment.
He was not surprised at all that the game planner came up with such a thing, after all, he had seen it a lot.
Lin Han: I can only rely on myself.
Fortunately, New World did not really push him into a desperate situation. Even though there was not much useful information in the admission letter, there was still detailed admission instructions in the text message, including the address of the college and the admission time.
Of course, the word "detailed" must be put in quotation marks. After all, the "college" mentioned in the admission guide is just a "college", and the reporting procedures are not mentioned in detail. However, the admission time is clearly written: May 24, 2123, Monday, which is today.
But the address made Lin Han a little confused. It was not that it was too outrageous or he had never heard of it, but this address was too familiar.
No. 101, Xingfu Street, Mucheng District, City A.
This place is only two streets away from the address of Lin Han's PC game company in City A, near the commercial district.
The reason why Lin Han remembered it so clearly was that he once helped a colleague who was out on business and couldn't get back in time to pick up his child from kindergarten, which was on Xingfu Street.
Lin Han had indeed heard that some map models in the new world would be somewhat similar to reality, but most of them were landmark buildings. How could they be so detailed?
But Lin Han didn't have much time left, only two hours left, and he couldn't waste time thinking about these things. After all, no one knew how long it would take him to reach his destination if he set out now.
Lin Han took this time to charge his phone, then found a set of clothes from the closet and changed into them. He went to the bathroom to wash himself up. Looking at his familiar face in the mirror, which was a little red due to nervousness, he was still a little uncomfortable.
In this short period of time, whether it was the desire to explore due to insufficient information or the genuine curiosity about the game New World, one has to admit that he was serious.
After all, the only beneficiary now is probably Song Ziyi. If he really knew about this, he would probably be overjoyed.
Lin Han put away the admission letter, put on her bag, picked up her phone, and ran out while hailing a taxi.
The living room was empty, and the storage of the shoe cabinet at the door made Lin Han realize that he was probably the only one in the house, which in some ways also reduced the difficulty of his game.
The world setting of the life mode is almost the same as the real world. Lin Han got a taxi smoothly. Listening to the familiar driver telling him some gossip while driving, Lin Han responded and looked out the window with increasing fear.
At first, Lin Han was not familiar with the surroundings, but as he approached the destination, he found that the surrounding environment was almost exactly the same as in reality, with the familiar order of stores, slogans, and even a certain decoration store, and the lucky cat with its hands waving on the glass cabinet at the door were all exactly the same.
He could even see from a distance the company sign of his former company on the building not far away, which had been extinguished but had not yet been removed.
Lin Han: “…”
For a moment he could hardly tell whether he was playing a game or in reality.
Fortunately, he figured it out quickly because the driver took him to the kindergarten door and told him that this was No. 101 Xingfu Street.
Lin Han was silent again.
This kindergarten is exactly the same as he remembered it, with an arched main entrance with black railings. Inside is a very large lawn area with children's entertainment facilities and small animal sculptures everywhere. Further in are two small buildings where the children go to class. His colleague's children really like this kindergarten.
But... he came to report, as a student who had just received an admission letter, to report to the kindergarten?
Lin Han re-compared the address on the admission guide with his current address and found that they were exactly the same.
Please, no matter how you look at it, the character he drew couldn't possibly be one who is still in kindergarten.
Lin Han looked up at the kindergarten gate, then at the direction he came from. The time showed that it was already half past eleven, and there was no extra time for him to try again.
Although Lin Han is not very passionate about games, he is still very serious about his work. He never thought that one day he would have the idea of "taking one step at a time" when playing games.
But what else can we do?
Lin Han looked at the seemingly deserted building in the kindergarten and thought that as long as the plot did not develop into a horror movie, he could accept it.
The iron gate of the kindergarten was open, and the security guard that Lin Han had met before was not there. He hesitated for a moment, took a step inside under the urging of time, and then he froze in his tracks.
As he stepped through the door, Lin Han saw not the furnishings of the kindergarten that was closer to him, but a completely new, unfamiliar and magnificent space.
A huge square paved with white tiles, with crisscrossing waterways on it, the clear water shimmering with ripples. In the distance are towering buildings of the same pure white, with their spires filled with flowers. Even further away is an arched building with a glass dome, with a huge human-shaped statue vaguely standing there, with the gentle yet scorching sun hanging above its head.
Some people walking downstairs seemed to have noticed his arrival and cast their glances at him. Although they couldn't see his face clearly, they could inexplicably feel the friendly aura coming from his face.
There was a sound of splashing water coming from the nearby waterway. The red-haired girl suddenly poked her head out of the water, her arms resting on the floor tiles, creating a puddle of water. She looked at him curiously, and when she opened her mouth, a sound like a beautiful song came out.
There are some fine dark scales growing from her wrists upwards, her nails are long and sharp, there are gauze-like fins where her ears are, and you can see the breathing gills below are slightly fluttering.
Mermaid?
The amount of information was too much, so Lin Han took back the step he had taken and stood at the familiar door of the kindergarten again. There was still no one inside.
He took another step forward and reappeared in the square. The mermaid closest to him tilted her head to look at him, seemingly not understanding what he was doing. Not far away, on the equally white trolley, people closed the books in their hands and looked at him curiously.
Lin Han retracted his steps and stood at the arched door with black railings again.
Lin Han: “…”
In, out, inside and outside the door are two completely different worlds.
Lin Han, who didn't quite believe his eyes, was wondering whether to try it again. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of two people standing next to him, next to the gate.
"What are you doing?"
The person asking the question was a little blond boy who looked about seven or eight years old. He was wearing a white T-shirt and plaid overalls. He looked very serious, but his chubby cheeks seemed to have been blushed, which made him look overly cute.
Lin Han didn't really like children, but he couldn't help but praise him in his heart with all the words he could imagine, and then he was distracted to look at another person.
He was tall and straight, wearing white gloves and the standard butler's uniform. He looked a little familiar. When Lin Han looked up and saw his face, he felt even more familiar.
Isn't this his guide, Alfred?
At this moment, Lin Han finally understood why Alfred smiled and said to him at that time: "It seems that we will meet again."
