Chapter 5 Fantasy Mode
Alfred, whom Lin Han had called so many times but never showed up, was now standing in front of him, taking care of the blond child beside him like a protector.
Because of Alfred's presence, after the initial shock, Lin Han thought that the child was also a player of the same status as him.
With the number of players in the new world, players can be seen almost everywhere in various planes outside the confrontation copy, as if an alien world has been turned into a sieve by foreign "players", all of whom are "the same kind".
In front of the indigenous people, players naturally have to act well and hide their true identities. After all, if they are discovered to be abnormal, they will be in big trouble.
But at the same time, the chances of encountering players are much greater.
Lin Han already knew that the key to switching between his game modes was the difference between inside and outside the door. Outside the door was the game world of life mode, while inside the door was the game world of fantasy mode. Currently, among the players in life mode, Lin Han might be the only one who could enter another world when passing through this door because of the admission letter possessed by the character he drew. It was very normal for him to meet other players there.
It's just that the child was too young. Lin Han remembered that the game rules announced by New World required players to be over 16 years old, which was obviously not allowed. Of course, it could also be that the character he drew happened to be a child, but the curiosity in the child's eyes was too strong, and Lin Han didn't think an adult could play it out, so this child was most likely an NPC in the game.
The child's hand was holding Alfred's clothes, but now it loosened and moved closer to Lin Han with some curiosity: "Why are you standing at the school gate instead of going in?"
Lin Han: “…”
It's impossible to say it wasn't embarrassing.
In the PC game, players cannot do anything embarrassing, and NPCs will not interact with you in an embarrassing way. As for the players themselves, they will not feel embarrassed, blushing, heartbeating, or embarrassment. Who would be so emotional about cold game data? But in the holographic game, facing a child's innocent and curious gaze, even if he knew that the other party was an NPC, Lin Han blushed a little when he thought that he might have repeated the confusing "in and out" action under the other party's nose. This seemed to make him look a little strange, but he had to say that he felt that his behavior was normal.
The creations of nature and the crystallization of human civilization will always forge a very magnificent history and architecture. Before becoming a corporate slave, Lin Han had traveled around and witnessed many magnificent scenes and amazing buildings. But the biggest difference between reality and games is that in reality, all objective factors need to be considered, but in games, nothing needs to be considered. As long as there is enough imagination, it can be constructed.
At the same time, there is a world of difference between watching the scene on the screen and experiencing it in person.
The space behind the door before him was vast, majestic, and holy... The vaguely human-shaped sculpture towered taller than most buildings, almost beyond human power. Everything here held a mysterious power that made one want to observe it again and again.
Lin Han felt that this was no more dull than his sudden entry into the world of immortal cultivation.
People will be shocked by things that are beyond their understanding.
So, how should he answer the child's question at this moment?
While Lin Han was hesitating to form his words, Alfred, who had been silent the whole time, squatted down and picked up the child who was leaning towards Lin Han. He used one hand to straighten his slightly crooked collar and said gently, "Young Master, don't ask embarrassing questions."
Lin Han: “…” If he hadn’t said this, he might not be as embarrassed as he is now.
Alfred?
Lin Han turned his head again to look at the NPC.
Because they were standing closer, Lin Han needed to tilt his head slightly to see the other person's face. Lin Han's height was enough, but at this time he couldn't help but think that being able to easily create a height was really enviable.
Alfred's face was still as handsome as when they first met, but the modeling of countless guides in the new world was quite perfect, which could slightly neutralize Lin Han's over-evaluation of his appearance. However, Lin Han knew very well in his heart that Alfred's appearance was still the best among all the guides.
It’s just that…other people’s guides seem to be serving the players wholeheartedly, but his guide doesn’t seem to be like that.
When Alfred noticed Lin Han's gaze, he had already turned his head and smiled at him. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with him, as gentle and kind as before, but Lin Han was sure that the way he looked at him was completely different from the way he looked at the child in his arms.
If I have to say, the former is fake and the latter is sincere.
Lin Han believed that he was very good at judging people, but he didn't know why he could see such differences among the NPCs in the game.
Lin Han: “…” I don’t care anymore.
After all, his guide is not reliable at all, so there is no need to worry about his discriminatory treatment.
Alfred, as his guide, appears in this place again, which means that he is not just a guide. He should have a "part-time job" in the new world. That is, this character is not only a guide but also one of the NPCs in some scenes, such as the world behind this door.
He called this child "Young Master", so this child's status must be higher than Alfred, and he may even be a key NPC in the so-called "college" he is about to go to.
However, Lin Han was very interested in this child, and the other party was the same. He couldn't help but look at him while lying in Alfred's arms. Curiosity in his golden pupils almost overflowed like water.
A beautiful child, Lin Han has great patience with him.
Lin Han stretched out her hand, and he immediately took the initiative to stretch out his hand. Her flesh-pink nails and soft, warm fingertips scratched his palm, then he pursed his lips and smiled obediently. In the sunlight, he shone like a golden doll.
He was still waiting for Lin Han's answer, and Lin Han couldn't help but lower her voice and answered him, "I'm Lin Han, the freshman who reported here today. To be honest, the academy's appearance was a little beyond my imagination, so I stood here for a while to take in the view."
It’s not that he was standing here, he had clearly gone in and out several times, but Lin Han chose to save some face for himself.
The blond child's eyes lit up: "It's you! We were just about to pick you up!"
Lin Han: “?”
"There haven't been any new students admitted recently. If you don't come, it will be very difficult for us." The child blinked and grabbed Lin Han's finger. "Alfred said that you don't seem to care much about the college, so I have to pick you up in person!"
It is euphemistically called "receive", but the real meaning is probably "catch".
Lin Han: “???”
Lin Han looked at Alfred, who still had a decent smile on his face, and didn't seem to feel the slightest bit guilty about making random comments about others behind their backs.
"Once you're in the hospital, you can't run away!"
No one knew where the kid got the strength from, but he held onto Lin Han's fingers tightly. Coincidentally, Alfred was carrying him inside at that moment. No one knew whether it was intentional or not, but Lin Han was brought into the world on the other side of the door.
Both feet together.
Lin Han quietly took a step back, but the scene behind him was no longer the original street and kindergarten.
There's no going back.
At this moment, Alfred was smiling, and that person was still smiling, but Lin Han always had a feeling that he was on a pirate ship and couldn't get off. It seemed that it was not an illusion.
"My name is Jiang Xuchen. You can call me Chenchen, or you can call me 'Young Master' like everyone else." The blond child finally introduced himself. It was a slightly awkward name, and Lin Han couldn't say it out loud for a while, but it sounded a bit cute coming from his own mouth.
Lin Han: "Chenchen."
The child nodded, then turned and pointed off into the distance, saying, "Let's go! I'll show you around the academy. We still have the freshman assessment soon!"
After saying "let's go", it was Alfred and Lin Han who actually left. Chenchen, who was held in his arms, had no intention of getting down. He kept chatting with Lin Han while walking forward. Alfred, on the other hand, remained silent. Lin Han vaguely felt that he was unhappy. He seemed dissatisfied with herself calling the child "Chenchen".
Lin Han was also puzzled and chose to continue waiting and watching.
As they walked forward, the mermaid in the canal in the square followed them, her fiery red hair swaying in the waves like a lotus blooming in the water.
Jiang Xuchen looked at him curiously and said, "It seems that Kaka likes you too."
Kaka is the name of the mermaid.
Lin Han was also very curious about the mermaid and couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
Their destination seemed not to be the buildings closest to them, but the arched building behind them. Because of the distance, he, led by Alfred, took the trolley next to them.
The white open carriage was moving slowly. Lin Han sat at the small table, watching Alfred settle Chenchen and conjure up snacks and milk out of thin air. She had the illusion that she was out for a picnic.
But it was also during this journey that Lin Han discovered a problem. Everyone they met along the way, regardless of gender, young or old, would put down what they were doing when they saw this child and call him "Young Master" very sincerely.
There was no perfunctoriness in those greetings; they were very serious.
So Lin Han, who called him "Chenchen", seemed more like an outlier.
He seemed to understand where Alfred's displeasure just now came from.
Rather than being his guide, Alfred is more like a housekeeper who takes care of Chenchen's daily life.
Lin Han chose to remain silent.
The trolley tracks were all over the college, and Lin Han arrived at the glass-roofed arched building he had seen earlier, listening to the childish voices of children.
"Because the freshman assessment will be held here, I will bring you here to take a look first. Of course, you don't have to please me. Even if you please me, I won't reveal the questions to you!" Walking up the white stairs, Chenchen put his hands on his hips, turned around and "hummed" to Lin Han. His little look with his nose wrinkled looked very cute.
The transparent glass-roofed building became more dazzling the closer it got. Lin Han took a few more glances at it, then replied with a mixture of laughter and tears: "How could that be?"
Although he still didn't know what the so-called freshman entrance exam was, Lin Han was quite confident in his grades. Even after working for many years, he had not forgotten everything, so he should not be able to fail the entrance exam.
But in the next second, his confidence was ended.
Not far from the main entrance, there was a whole transparent glass wall. Behind the glass wall was a very large space, like an upside-down glass bowl. Lin Han had seen many people in it earlier and guessed that it was probably some kind of activity center, until he saw something flying from afar, growing from small to large, and then with a "bang", it hit the glass beside him, splashing a small red mark.
It was a man whose arm was broken when he tried to resist the force of flying outwards against the glass wall. The pale bone stump pierced through the flesh and blood was almost spurting out.
Lin Han stopped in his tracks, but Alfred, who noticed he had stopped and turned around, and Chenchen, who was still smiling, didn't seem to think what was happening next to them was terrible.
"You can't act recklessly just because I'm here. If his neck breaks, I'll have to save him before he dies..." The black-haired man in a white robe approached while speaking. His voice was soft, but Lin Han could hear it clearly. As a white light flashed on his hand, the injured man's arm returned to its original shape. He had a white ribbon tied around his eyes, seemingly unable to see, but he was looking clearly at Lin Han through the glass. "Ah, someone new?"
Lin Han: “…”
He forgot that his game mode had been switched to fantasy mode.
