Chapter 85 World Server Linkage (3)
He deliberately changed his clothes when he went out to avoid unnecessary onlookers and congestion.
After reading the ranking, Gu Qiufeng didn't want to go back to his room. Unfortunately, although the cities in the game were built in a proper manner, there was really nothing to see. The sky was fake, and the plants were basically mutants except for those carefully cultivated by some players. In addition, the A-level and B-level players were all high-level players, so compared with the D city with a strong atmosphere of life, the cities here were much more inhumane, with dense buildings. The only thing that broke this boring atmosphere was the two additional in-game copies after the update.
Gu Qiufeng had been to the Uninhabited Port before, but he gave up exploring the Central Hospital because time was too tight. Later, although Yu Chiang sent players from their guild to explore the port, they did not gain much because most of the high-level players in Country H were busy earning points due to the opening of the world zone linkage, and thus they temporarily neglected the Central Hospital dungeon.
Gu Qiufeng unknowingly walked to the entrance of the Central Hospital copy. The hospital corresponded to the landmark of City A, the power station created by the wisdom of human players. Against the backdrop of the bright and beautiful power station, the hospital looked even more gloomy and desolate.
According to the analysis of some players who are in the habit of recording data on the forum, when viewed from the outside of the hospital, the lights in a room are often turned on at noon, but no one wants to go in to check what room it is, because the appearance of the internal copy is just the appearance, and the scene after entering the copy is not at all visible to the naked eye in the outside world. Therefore, what is in the room with the lights often turned on at inappropriate times has obviously become a mystery.
When Gu Qiufeng arrived, it was almost noon.
Sure enough, a room in the hospital lit up.
Because this hospital copy has an abandoned and dark effect, the lighting effect is particularly abrupt even under the sunlight at noon. Gu Qiufeng stopped at the door of the hospital. There were some curious players around. Their comments occasionally reached Gu Qiufeng's ears, and they were also speculating and discussing this abnormal phenomenon.
But no player can reach that room. The lights in it always turn on on time at twelve o'clock, and then quietly return to calm half an hour later.
Some players speculated that when the dungeon reproduced the hospital scene, a video of the lights turning on and off in the hospital was also reproduced and loaded in. Perhaps the projection of the scene of a hospital at a certain time and place in reality was placed here, becoming a subtle and strange bug. However, more players are negative and skeptical about this phenomenon. Most players tried to clear the hospital dungeon. Although they were able to pass it safely in the end, they did not get any particularly valuable information from it. Perhaps this regularly lit light is the key information that they humans missed.
A familiar female voice suddenly sounded behind Gu Qiufeng: "There is something in this room."
Gu Qiufeng turned his head and saw that it was Duan Chouyu whom he had not seen for several days.
Gu Qiufeng has been so busy recently that he feels like every day seems to last for several days. So when he saw Duan Chouyu again, he actually felt as if he was in another world.
Duan Chouyu's eyes have almost recovered, and her ability to predict the future has indeed been confirmed to be lost. Although the skill has disappeared, Duan Chouyu's expression is still the same, calm and composed, and there is even a hint of a smile on her face when she meets Gu Qiufeng's eyes.
"Mr. Gu has really done a great job these days." Duan Chouyu said with a smile, "It is very impressive."
Gu Qiufeng said: "It's just that our majors are matched."
"After the game is over, has Mr. Gu thought about his future plans?" Duan Chouyu sighed, "If the game really ends, that would be great, and all players can return to reality."
When she reached this point, her voice suddenly stopped, but Gu Qiufeng inexplicably felt that what Duan Chouyu really wanted to express was not this, but before she could finish, she was suddenly interrupted by something.
Duan Chouyu's eyes fell on the hospital behind Gu Qiufeng and said, "It's timeout."
"What timeout?" Gu Qiufeng looked back and saw that the light in that room was still on.
However, several long-term recorders nearby began to become restless because of Duan Chouyu Lingran's words.
"Half-past twelve has just passed!"
"This lighted room breaks the previous cycle!"
"What's in this room? Why is the light on for longer and longer?"
Duan Chouyu kindly reminded him, "Mr. Gu, let's go first. President Yu should have heard the news and will send exploration players here later. Many players will soon come to watch after hearing the news of the changes here. If Mr. Gu is recognized in the crowd, it will be a big trouble. Mr. Gu should have more important things to do now, right?"
Duan Chouyu is right.
Although Gu Qiufeng was also very curious about this phenomenon at this time, he did not want to be watched by others because he had a very energy-consuming live broadcast to do in the evening.
So he simply thanked him, but Duan Chouyu turned around without any reluctance and followed him to leave.
"Miss Duan, don't you want to take another look?" Gu Qiufeng asked.
Duan Chouyu shook his head: "There's nothing to see. These phenomena are nothing more than arrangements by the origin. There are smart players who can deduce things from them. It's useless for me to watch them."
Just as the two of them were leaving, someone suddenly shouted, "The lights are out!"
"There seems to be a black shadow at the hospital gate! What is it? Is it a dungeon NPC?"
Gu Qiufeng stopped and looked towards the hospital gate thoughtfully.
If the hospital building is like the scene texture in the game that can only be viewed from a distance and not approached, then the gate is like a texture that is not detailed enough and is blurry.
Therefore, even though the recorders were very close to the gate, when they looked there, they could only see a blur.
But vaguely visible, a thin and tall figure standing at the gate.
Players gradually started to rush over here.
Duan Chouyu tugged at Gu Qiufeng's sleeve, signaling him to leave quickly.

On the way back, Duan Chouyu said, "I saw Mr. Gu has been keeping an eye on the NPC figure at the hospital entrance. Do you know him?"
Gu Qiufeng shook his head: "I don't know him, he just feels a little familiar to me."
Duan Chouyu hummed, and then said: "Mr. Gu, do you really believe in this monster X?"
"I don't believe it." Gu Qiufeng said firmly.
As if they were communicating some kind of secret code, Gu Qiufeng and Duan Chouyu looked at each other.
Human nature is a very complicated thing, and it is somewhat like remembering to eat but not to be punished.
Just as no matter how much human players hated the game that tortured them in every way before, they still believe that if they follow the rules of the game, the game will really let them go when they make their final wish.
There are still many treacherous people among humans, let alone monsters who have no sense of good and evil. Will they keep their promises?
From the very beginning, this world server linkage mechanism seemed like a huge scam created by X for mankind.
But the human desire for life is terrifying. Even if many people feel something rationally, they would rather not think too much and want to throw themselves into the fire to fight for survival. Many human players are not unaware of X's nature, but they dare not believe it. Even the desire to get out is a huge scam of monsters against humans.
That's really desperate.
From the very beginning, Gu Qiufeng never thought that the wish he made could really save all human players.
X's nature is never concealed, and he blatantly exudes malice.
But now, sober players can't say.
No one can decide what will happen after the collective dream is shattered and the players are dragged into the abyss of despair.
This is why Gu Qiufeng wants to strive for the first place in points.
In order to avoid falling into X's trap and putting themselves in a passive disadvantage, Gu Qiufeng had to take the initiative.
"After I get out," Duan Chouyu said, "I want to go to the agricultural base to do research."
She suddenly brought up this, and it seemed too incoherent.
Gu Qiufeng shrugged: "If Miss Duan hints that I must win in this way, I will feel very stressed."
Duan Chouyu smiled and said, "That's not a hint at all. I'm just wishing Mr. Gu a successful start."
Duan Chouyu probably had some concerns, so she talked about these things with Gu Qiufeng, but now the two of them had the same ideas, so naturally Duan Chouyu didn't have to worry about it. After she said goodbye, she said, "My brother should be arriving in City B soon. If he comes, he should come to see you."
Gu Qiufeng was stunned: "So fast?"
However, as a newcomer, Duan Jiangli's ranking is always at the top of the leaderboard. I think he has been tossing and turning between dungeons without sleep, but this is tantamount to proving the horror of Duan Jiangli's ability. He has an excellent physique different from ordinary people, outstanding experience in fighting against the origin, and judgment and wisdom cultivated in real practice. The skills that Duan Jiangli can awaken are probably one in a million.
If Duan Jiangli came to City B, it would be a great help to Gu Qiufeng, and it would give him more chips to win during the confrontation with X.
Duan Chouyu added: "He also said that if you need it, he will transfer the points to you."
But in that case, Duan Jiangli would have no way to come to City B.
"Let's wait and see." Gu Qiufeng said, "I think my live broadcast room has a good response, so I don't need his help."
Duan Chouyu then left calmly.
Gu Qiufeng sighed, and suddenly a wisp of white hair appeared in front of his eyes. He raised his eyes suddenly: "Doctor, why did you come out?"
Gu Jiu tied her long white hair into a low braid, letting it fall in front of her left shoulder, and raised the plastic bag: "I'll make you some food. You've been busy for so long, and you're losing money."
He spoke as calmly as a spring breeze.
Gu Jiu's pale eyes gently swept across Gu Qiufeng, and he said gently: "You must have encountered something."
"Can I be your listener?"
The author has something to say:
Gu Jiu seems to be a kind and beautiful old father (bushi
