Chapter 136 Datai City 1
【Mom and Dad:
A few days ago, I went to the General Administration of Tourism and met a few members of the assault team. When we chatted, we talked about the copy of Dahui No. 2 Middle School. They told me that you had been waiting for me that afternoon, and my father was so anxious that he was about to cry. He gasped when he spoke and couldn't even say a complete sentence.
They all heard him say that he would never let me download the game again.
When I saw you, Mom had her makeup done delicately, Dad's clothes didn't have a single wrinkle, and you said easily that you were not in a hurry.
Before seeing me, Mom must have put on makeup again and Dad must have changed his clothes. You washed away and covered up all the worry and anxiety on your faces and bodies.
Once again, I realized deeply that this is my mom and dad.
For the first time, I realized that the love between family members is not all easy and happy, but also sad and heavy, which makes it even more difficult to let go.
I selfishly didn't tell you about this, selfishly pretended that you really supported me in downloading the game, and selfishly left you without saying goodbye.
I'm not afraid that you won't let me go. I know you will definitely let me go. I just can't face myself being sent away by you.
Mom and Dad, you must want to know what I have been through over the years. You also know that I was adopted by a couple and my experience in that villa, but they never told me about it.
I already know this. I also searched on the website of the Information Department of the Tourism Administration. At that time, I wanted to see the traces of your search for me back then, and I saw an experience that was not in my memory.
I try to give you my life back.
When I was very young, before I had any memory, I had parents who loved me and gave me a lot of love.
Later, I got lost and was adopted by a kind couple. There were many adopted children in that family. I had many brothers and sisters, and I was loved by many people in a warm big family.
Later, they died, and I was selected by the fair game at that time to participate in the game beta test. In the beta test world, there were 99 players and a small system. They treated me as their brother, son, grandson and master in the game. I was loved by many people.
Later, they died and I was picked up by my grandfather and taken home. My grandfather built a normal growth environment for me, allowing me to grow up in a relaxed and happy environment like ordinary people. His love for me was unique and profound.
Later, he died, and I returned to you and regained the love of my father and mother, the most selfless love in the world.
Others may think that I have been displaced throughout my life, but I feel that I have a lot of love in this life, which no one else can have. So much love, this love has made me who I am today, and traces of it can be found in me.
It is also because of this love that I can't stop and I have to play the game.
I'm sorry, Mom and Dad, I need to go play games.
By the time you read this letter, I should be on a plane heading to a big game.
I'm sorry.
But please don't worry too much, I will definitely come back to find you, because I feel the love in you, it will lead me back to you. 】
There is a PS at the end of the letter:
[I left a gift for you, it's called [Time Debugger], it can speed up time. Whenever you feel that time is too slow, turn it and select the speed, I will appear by your side soon.
When I saw you that day, I knew it was a gift for you.
Soon, we will meet, and soon, I will come back with three cups of family portrait. 】
"Why did you bring milk tea?" Ling Changye asked Xia Bai when he saw him at the airport.
"We each have a cup." Xia Bai didn't say anything else, just said: "Family portrait, it tastes good."
After Ling Changye took it, he took a sip with a fearless expression. His frown slowly relaxed and he looked at the milk tea in surprise.
Xia Bai smiled, "Add more tea, less milk, and no sugar. The milk tea in front of Heping Medical College is good."
Ling Changye also laughed with him, and the two of them left the Datai City Airport, each holding a super-large cup of Family Milk Tea.
On the way, Xia Bai asked Ling Changye: "Are you busy these two days?"
"Not busy." Ling Changye said, "It can be said that this is the most relaxing moment in my life. I don't have to worry about anything except my boyfriend."
In the previous meeting, Lao Wang said that they would take these people out of other games and prepare the super-large game map. After confirming that the Wangchuan team came to Datai City, the team members did not have to do anything, and even the team leader Ling Changye did not have to take care of anything, which was considered a danger subsidy benefit.
"I had nothing to do yesterday, so I went to Wugu Village." Ling Changye said.
They cleared this place together.
Xia Bai asked: "How is it now?"
"It's very beautiful," Ling Changye said. "After Wugu Village was cleared, many rich people went there to build villas. People who were not short of money also donated a lot of money to the village to build roads and parks. Wugu Village, which was burned down, was rebuilt into a different look."
"Where is the Dihao Apartment?" Xia Bai asked.
They also checked out Dihao Apartment together. Xia Bai remembered that they went there to take a look before leaving Datai City. At that time, Ling Changye's family's construction company had been demolished and rebuilt.
Ling Changye smiled and said, "You will know soon."
Xia Bai was slightly stunned: "We are going to live in Dihao Apartment? Dihao Apartment is already available for living?"
"Yes." Ling Changye said, "The building of Dihao Apartment was built very quickly. People who bought Dihao Apartment couldn't wait to move in. So it is the best. There is no need to worry about formaldehyde in the unified decoration. I reserved a house there and we will live there."
Xia Bai pursed her lips and asked, "Does the Tourism Bureau agree with where we can stay?"
They came to Datai City in order to enter a huge game that might happen in Datai City.
Players all know that the game will not descend on the same place repeatedly, so a contradiction arises. When the super-large map descends on Datai City, will places like Wugu Village and Dihao Apartment, which have descended on the game before, be involved in the game?
No one knows, so, just in case, the Tourism Authority should not let them stay there.
Nothing can be hidden from him. Ling Changye said: "Indeed, the accommodation arranged by the Tourism Administration for us is the hotel where we stayed the night before going to Wugu Village, but tonight we will stay at Dihao Apartment first."
Xia Bai glanced at Ling Changye. Ling Changye had seen that expression when Xia Bai looked at Lao Qian.
Ling Changye: "...plain."
Xia Bai: "Erotic ones are fine. Like those movie plots where people have a wild party before the end of the world."
Ling Changye: "Then I'll just have to obey your orders respectfully."
Xia Bai: "You're still being ungrateful after getting an advantage."
The Dihao Apartments were built very high. It took only a few months for this place to go from decline to prosperity. At this time, it has become a gathering place for wealthy people in Datai City. It is also the tallest residential building in the center of Datai City, with 66 floors.
The room where Ling Changye stayed was on the top floor. After finishing the movie, the two sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and overlooked the night view of the entire Datai city.
Xia Bai has always felt that at a time when cities are becoming increasingly homogeneous, Datai is a very unique city.
In this city, you can see buildings of different styles and feel the marginal yet colorful regional customs. Even the night is different, with lights of different colors shining through a thin mist. Looking down, it feels like looking into another world.
If this city was invaded by the game, would they still be able to see such scenery?
Xia Bai leaned in Ling Changye's arms and rubbed his shoulder with the back of his head. "Captain, we will definitely be able to pass this game, right?"
"Yes." Ling Changye said affirmatively: "And it won't be like what you did when you passed the internal test game, don't worry."
He was comforting to the point.
As a member of the Wangchuan Group, Yang Mei will also come to Datai City this time. When Yang Yi finds out, he wants to accompany him without any hesitation and actively analyzes the game with them.
Most people in the Game Management Bureau thought that this would be a very difficult and dangerous game, so they allowed the Wangchuan Group to deal with it, but Yang Yi had a different opinion.
At that time, he said that this game was just large in scope, with a certain amount of energy completely covering the entire Datai City instead of being concentrated in one location. It wouldn't be that difficult or terrifying, and it shouldn't break through the star level they had previously set.
But Xia Bai still didn't feel comforted.
At this time, Ling Changye comforted him, "Captain, if you really encounter the same dilemma as in the internal beta test, you can't commit suicide. Give me the skills and let me leave the game."
Ling Changye said, "Hmm," "I definitely won't do that."
Hearing him speak so confidently, Xia Bai turned his head again, "Really? If by then, we all die in the game and fail to pass the level, the game energy will increase greatly, and humans will no longer be able to resist the game. It will be difficult to restart this game."
Ling Changye laughed, "You see, it's you who can't let go of humans. I think it's better for us to die together. It's too tiring and difficult for you to live alone."
Xia Bai stopped talking and stared blankly at the Datai city at night.
Ling Changye rubbed his drooped head and said, "Don't worry, it won't get to that point. I believe Yang Yi's guess."
His voice was relaxed, with a hint of joy in it.
Xia Bai turned his head to look at him, and saw that his face under the light looked the same, relaxed and happy, without any heaviness or panic, and he was even dazed when he laughed.
His heart gradually calmed down.
The next day, the two went to the hotel arranged by the Tourism Administration, where they met the other six members of the Wangchuan group and Yang Yi.
As soon as Erwa saw him, he ran over. He didn't seem nervous at all, and he was blooming all the way.
The Tourism Administration has booked the sixth floor of this hotel. There is a viewing room on the sixth floor. Other players are here, not only to enjoy the view, but also to watch the other players.
Yang Yi brought all his instruments with him. What a pervert he was. After Xia Bai mentioned to him that skills were also composed of game energy that day, he updated the instruments again. At this time, he was doing experiments with the players of the Wangchuan group.
In addition to this instrument, he also brought the game and player monitoring equipment that every branch of the Game Management Bureau has.
It can be seen on the player monitor that many green dots are approaching Datai City.
Yang Yi looked at the green dots and said, "In the past two days, the Tourism Administration has done two things."
"The first thing is personnel replacement. The Tourism Management Bureau uses death row prisoners from all over the country to replace many students from Datai City." Yang Yi said: "This is considered to be a continuation of the method used by Dahui No. 2 Middle School. I personally support this approach."
Xia Bai raised his eyes. He also thought this was a good idea. Most of the students were minors, the future, and it would be easier to unify the organization. Moreover, the resentment of death row prisoners was no less than that of students. If the resentment of the city was not reduced, it would not affect the advent of the game.
"The second thing, you saw it." Yang Yi said: "The Information Department of the Game Management Bureau has contacted many players privately and told them the list of cities. Many players are coming here."
They all looked at the green dots, approaching Datai City from all directions. Some were very fast, probably by plane, or using speed skills. Some were slower, probably by car or train. Regardless of their speed, their direction was consistent and firm, which was Datai City marked as a red dot.
Yang Yi said: "There is no reward this time."
"The Game Management Bureau has not given up on you. They are working hard to find helpers for you. Other players have not decided that this is what you should do. They are here to help you overcome difficulties."
A few seconds later, Hua Haoming laughed and said, "What's the point of giving up? We all took the initiative to apply to join the Wangchuan Group, just like those top students in Dahui No. 2 Middle School. Before we applied, we knew that the Wangchuan Group would go to the Wangchuan River. When we joined the Wangchuan Group, we also enjoyed treatment that ordinary people could never get."
They all said that the assault team was a death squad, so the Wangchuan group was not just daring to die, they had already registered their names on the Wangchuan River. This was the day they had thought of since the day they joined.
Yang Mei nodded, "Yes, a handsome celebrity singer is coming to give me a solo concert."
“…”
Xia Bai was curious, "Why were you able to join the Wangchuan Group? Not to mention the treatment in the Wangchuan Group."
In fact, Xia Bai’s question is, what could make them give up their lives.
Nine people sat in the viewing room, watching more and more green dots appear on the players' monitoring instruments. The world was both lively and quiet.
Hua Haoming said it first, "At that time, I hated Heihua so much that I wanted to destroy my own body instead of letting him use it. It was a mentality of dying together that prompted me to join the Wangchuan Group."
Yang Mei continued, "That was the first time I met my brother at the Tourism Management Bureau. We didn't say anything. The two people who used to depend on each other passed by each other like strangers. After returning to the assault team, I submitted an application for the Wangchuan Group."
Erwa finally thought, "It's very lonely and scary."
"When I was a child, I had very good eyesight and saw a lot of things." Wen Yuxin said: "Maybe because I saw too much, I was very silent for a long time and had no friends. It's okay, I still have my mother."
"Not long after I acquired the skills, my mother died. Before she died, she told me that she could finally get rid of my eyes. That day I went back to the Tourism Bureau to submit an application, but I did not meet the requirements at that time. It took me half a year to join."
"My brother, he really admires superheroes, like Batman and Ultraman. When he died, I promised him that I would become a hero. He said he believed in me. At that time, I was a loser with no skills, but he believed in me so firmly. How could I let him down?"
"Oh, why do you all sound so miserable? I just joined casually. I have been an orphan since I was young. I don't have any relatives. I am free and have no worries. It is most suitable for me to join the Wangchuan Group. I thought that if I do this, after I die, there will be no empty people at the funeral."
"Captain, what about you?"
"I have no idea."
"Then you are miserable too."
In the viewing room that day, they talked a lot, about their past experiences, their imaginations for the future, and watching more and more players come to Datai City.
[Is there something wrong with Datai City again? Why do I feel like so many big guys have gone to Datai City? ]
[I feel the same way, and we all drive RVs. I don’t understand why we don’t take a plane to go to Datai City, but drive instead.]
[Because there are no plane tickets? ]
[We do not have many flights from here to Datai City, but we still have some. 】
[So they did this to avoid attracting attention. They didn't take a plane or stay in a hotel, so that people in Datai City wouldn't notice anything unusual.]
Two days later, fewer players came to Datai City by plane, because someone asked online why all the tickets to Datai City were sold out. Was it the peak tourist season?
After seeing the discussion, players spontaneously drove over, either as a group or alone.
One car after another drove into Datai City or its surrounding areas. Many did not enter the urban area, but quietly went into the counties or villages below, waiting quietly.
If it weren’t for the player monitoring equipment, even the Tourism Bureau wouldn’t have known that so many players had quietly come to Datai City.
Yang Yi turned on the key area surveillance, and Xia Bai saw a familiar place, "Captain, it's that bar."
Ling Changye said, "It was the bar where the Half Moon Group and the Holy Tour Guild fought against each other."
After coming out of the Wugu Village game, the Datai City Game Management Bureau branch detected that the Half Moon Group and the Holy Tour Guild had gathered in this bar. When they rushed over, everyone had left, leaving only a pile of corpses, the corpses of all the Holy Tour Guild players who had entered the bar.
Later, not long after, they found out that those people were killed by You Yue. Then You Yue brought the Half Moon Group to join the Holy Travel Guild and became the vice president of the Holy Travel Guild.
Now, he has returned with the Half Moon Group, returned to the birthplace of the Half Moon Group, and brought back more people.
Right here in this bar.
You Yue was still the same as before, wearing cheap-looking clothes and a pair of black cloth shoes. He looked at the camera and said nothing, just like those players who came to Datai City.
The city of Datai is a harmonious place. In the morning, countless workers rush about with breakfast in their hands. In the evening, many elderly people queue up at the entrance of the supermarket to grab discounted dishes. During the rush hour, cars honk on the road. At mealtime, the aroma of food fills the air everywhere in the city.
Several members of the assault team drove around the edge of the city.
Xia Bai and Ling Changye took Erwa and tested the entrance and exit of a city.
On a sunny afternoon with a rare clear sky in Datai City, a city full of miasma, Erwa got out of the car and skipped towards the exit when he was blocked by an invisible barrier.
"Locked!" he said to them, waving his little hands and jumping.
The car's sunroof opened, and Xia Bai and Ling Changye took out fireworks and lit them one by one.
The fireworks in the southeast of Datai City exploded before theirs, and then fireworks bloomed one after another all over the city.
The fireworks during the day are not as bright as those at night, but the sight of fireworks everywhere still attracts citizens to look up frequently.
Seven years ago, the city of Datai banned the use of fireworks in the urban area. This spectacular sight made many people cheer happily.
Then, images of Qili Village Primary School appeared on advertisements of tall buildings throughout the city. At the same time, a voice rang out over the entire city. [The first abnormality occurred in Qili Village...]
"What's going on?"
"Is it about popularizing science about games? I saw on the Internet that many cities have launched large-scale popularization of science about games?"
"What a big scene! Our Datai City is awesome!"
"Watch carefully and don't talk!"
"What are you looking at? I've seen it online and on TV so many times that I've memorized it verbatim..."
[We know that the game is divided into two types of maps in terms of size: small maps and large maps. A while ago, the Game Management Bureau discovered a super-large map, which is expected to cover the entire city. If a super-large map is discovered, it will be the most critical battle between humans and the game, and will determine the ultimate fate of mankind.]
[Unfortunately, the game has come to our Datai City. 】
A city was thrown into chaos in an instant, all because of one sentence.
Xia Bai looked around them and saw many people in the car that was about to drive out of Datai City slapping the steering wheels and honking the car horns. Some people continued to drive forward in disbelief. The car was unable to break through the barrier and was stopped silently.
The cars behind followed one after another, and a rear-end collision happened.
The sounds of collisions, cursing, and cries for help rang out one after another, spreading from one place to the entire city.
The Tourism Authority anticipated the panic of the citizens at this time, and that voice echoed throughout the city without stopping. It was so loud that not only people in Datai City could hear it, but the surrounding cities must have heard it as well, with the power to soothe people.
[Don't panic, the Tourism Bureau has been prepared. We are now in a locked state, and no one can leave Datai City. Please stand still and listen carefully to the arrangements of the Tourism Bureau. This concerns everyone's life safety.]
These words did work, at least the cursing from Xia Bai and the others stopped.
[1. The Wangchuan team of the Game Bureau has arrived in Datai City. They are the most powerful player group of the Game Bureau and the core members of the team. Their photos are on all the screens in the city. Please remember them. If you meet them in the game world, please listen to their instructions and cooperate with them to complete the game.]
【2. 215 staff members of the Tourism Bureau have arrived in Datai City. All of them are wearing sleeves of the Tourism Bureau. The blue one is for the Information Department, the red one is for the Logistics Department, and the yellow one is for the Operations Department. If you find important clues in the game, please be sure to inform them. Anyone can do it. Attention! People in the Information Department only collect game information and do not save people. Only the Logistics Department can save people and have medical staff.】
[3. If the game is in Datai City, do not enter the game world. There are 34 rescue stations in Datai City. The addresses are on the screen. Please take a photo.]
[4. Many players have arrived in Datai City. Most of them come for the citizens, Datai City, and humanity, but there are also a few with ill intentions. Please be careful to distinguish between good and bad players.]
【5. Please don’t panic, don’t hurt others, unity is the only way to pass the game. 】
【6. The people of the whole country are waiting for you to return home. 】
