Chapter 114 Where is the kiss?
[The class duel simulation has ended. You are now being sent to the 'main city']
"What do you mean?!" Zhang Feiye was completely confused. "What is 'main city'..."
The earth-shattering rumble drowned out his words.
The room collapsed inwards in an instant, but the broken stones were suspended in the air against gravity. There was no light around, and later, faint light blue lights appeared sporadically in a few corners.
Li Ziyue stretched out his hand to touch the stone floating in front of him. His fingers were sucked in the moment they touched the surface of the stone, and the inside of the object turned into a ball of intangible data as he moved.
Everyone around him disappeared, and he seemed to be walking alone in a long and narrow galactic track.
Later, he vaguely heard noisy voices, and he was probably teleported to the center of a busy street.
Li Ziyue frowned, feeling his feet touching something solid, he opened his eyes with difficulty. The midday sun was strong and the light caught him off guard. Two drops of physiological tears hung on his lower eyelashes, like two bright little pearls.
The wind became stronger at this moment, and the strands of hair on his forehead were blown backwards. Just as Li Ziyue stabilized his body, he heard another loud noise in front of him.
The loud noise was like a stone thrown into calm water. The crowd ran around in panic like a school of frightened fish, and their screams mixed with the collapsing buildings.
Li Ziyue was stunned, staring blankly at the huge monster that was rising rapidly in front of him.
The monster's long black shadow submerged him. He put his hand on his waist and touched the familiar cold scimitar. Li Ziyue's fingers trembled twice, and the scimitar quietly rotated in his palm.
He didn't know what the thing in front of him was. He said it was a human, but the wires exposed inside the missing half of its body showed its strangeness. He said it was a machine...
Li Ziyue looked at its half-human face. One side of its eye was just a dark hole, while the other side was shedding blood-red tears sadly.
This crazy thing is crying.
Li Ziyue calmed his mind and kept his gaze on her shoulder hidden behind her hair, where a faint flickering red light could be seen.
He moved his fingers slightly, and the scimitar's rotation speed reached its maximum speed. However, before he moved, he heard the sound of an unsilenced sniper rifle in the distance.
"Bang!"
The red dot on the monster's shoulder went out in an instant, and its entire body twitched wildly twice before suddenly falling to the ground.
Broken and rusty parts rolled all over the ground.
Li Ziyue retracted his scimitar and looked into the distance.
Who killed this monster?
Liu Yuche?
He shook his head and was about to go over to find out what was going on when another person appeared beside him.
As soon as a shadow of the spear appeared in Zhang Lian's hand, it disappeared with a wave of his hand.
He put his hands on Li Ziyue's shoulders, looked left and right, and only let go after making sure that Li Ziyue was not injured.
"The remains of a Level 1 mutant were found."
A row of soldier-shaped robots less than one meter long quickly rushed to the paralyzed monster. The soldier in the lead, wearing a red hat, bowed to Li Ziyue and Zhang Lian and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you all."
A pale yellow light shone from its eyes. After scanning all the data of the monster, other soldiers wearing yellow hats sorted and recycled the parts of the monster.
They lined up again, and before leaving, the man in the red hat bowed to Li Ziyue twice: "Hello, someone has sent me a message, he is waiting for you two at the 'Black and White Cube' 408 meters ahead."
The raid came and went quickly, and the place became lively again. People seemed to have gotten used to it and almost no one was discussing the monster.
'Black and White Magic Cube' is a self-service handmade pastry shop. From a distance, Li Ziyue saw a person squatting on the steps in front of the store.
He wore a light pink sweatshirt on his upper body, dark blue overalls underneath, and rainbow-patterned sneakers on his feet. He was holding a fist-sized black and white Rubik's cube-shaped biscuit in his hand, his eyes narrowed, and he was eating snacks while basking in the sun.
A swallow was lying obediently on top of his head.
Behind him, a pitch-black sniper rifle leaned against him undisguisedly.
It was obvious that this man had shot the monster dead with one shot.
The sunlight behind him was blocked. Li Xiaocan raised his head and said to Li Ziyue, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Long time no see, Young Master Zhang," Li Xiaocan extended his hand to Zhang Lian, then looked at Li Ziyue, "Hello, Li Ziyue, my name is Li Xiaocan."
Zhang Lian accepted his greeting.
Li Ziyue remained silent. It seemed that Zhang Lian trusted the person in front of him.
Li Xiaocan took out a few more Rubik's Cube cookies from the food bag beside him: "Do you want to eat some?"
Li Ziyue shook his head hesitantly.
Li Xiaocan stretched lazily, not forcing himself: "Don't worry, this is a virtual world, there won't be a task suddenly popping up asking you to kill monsters."
Li Ziyue thought for a moment and said, "The system didn't calculate the points just now."
Without calculating the points, the copy would not be truly ended. The more Li Zi saw deceptive NPCs, the more he doubted Li Xiaocan's true identity.
"Points?" The man in front of him rubbed his head. "Who told you that this was a copy? During the whole process... did you get any tasks that rewarded points?"
So, indeed, not.
"This virtual world is very special, and it will take a while to explain," Li Xiaocan said, "What you experienced before was not a copy at all. It was just an 'entrance ticket' for people without a legitimate reason to enter this world."
"That monster just now..."
"Oh, you are worried about this," Li Xiaocan patted the swallow on his head to wake it up, "Recently, the world's security system has been hacked by a third party, and some scrapped robots have mutated out of control. But don't worry, we have prepared many backup plans to deal with these problems. Next time you encounter a monster, just find a place to hide."
Li Xiaocan packed up his sniper rifle and said, "I'll take you to the main area."
He looked at Li Ziyue: "Someone over there wants to see you."
Zhang Lian held Li Ziyue's hand. Li Ziyue looked up at him and agreed to Li Xiaocan's invitation.
Li Xiaocan blew a whistle lightly, and the swallow above his head instantly flew into the air, and then its body expanded to the size of a car. It jumped twice, flapped its wings at the three people, and leaned down, motioning for them to sit on its back.
Li Xiaocan sat astride its long neck and stroked the soft fur in front of it.
The swallow flew up instantly and soared into the air.
The moment he stepped into the sky, countless flying vehicles that were invisible on the ground appeared one by one. Several people greeted Li Xiaocan. He nodded one by one and went straight forward along the flight track.
The higher the position, the wider the field of vision below. The size of this virtual world far exceeded Li Ziyue's estimation. There were tall buildings nearby and layers of mountains in the distance, and there was no end in sight.
Li Xiaocan chewed the Rubik's Cube, with one cheek puffed up: "Isn't this place big?"
Li Ziyue nodded.
"That's right," Li Xiaocan said, "This world once belonged to a certain player, but now it is maintained by countless players. Maybe you have even contributed to it."
"I?"
How come he doesn't have this memory?
Li Xiaocan: "Have you ever deposited points in the Points Bank? The deposit and withdrawal fees collected from your points will be used as the basic points for operating this world. After rounding up, you are also one of the shareholders in building this world."
In this case, this virtual world does not belong to any specific player, but is an open area constructed autonomously by the system?
What is the purpose of system construction?
Swallows fly very fast and reach their destination in just a few minutes.
Near the main area, several two-story-high containers were parked on both sides. Pale-faced people were hunched over coming in and out one after another. They moved slowly and with difficulty, with weakness hanging behind them.
Li Ziyue's gaze stopped on those people.
Li Xiaocan also looked over: "Oh, there's a new person."
"This world often takes in players whose virtual worlds were destroyed because of insufficient points. They have just experienced natural disasters, and most of them are in a state of daze," Li Xiaocan took back the swallow and let it continue to stay above his head. "Occasionally, when enough points are accumulated, the world will be expanded to take in another group of people."
Li Ziyue frowned slightly.
If the player does not make any special request, the system will automatically arrange for "new residents" to integrate into the world during normal expansion. However, this kind of personnel income is carried out quietly, and it is difficult for players to discover the entry of new people without deliberate observation.
After passing the facial recognition at the entrance and walking through the long courtyard, as the main door of the villa opened, a white wolf the size of an adult jumped out and pounced directly on Li Xiaocan.
Li Xiaocan rubbed its snow-white fur and moved the swallow to the white wolf.
A circle of furry gray rabbits surrounded the men, rolling their bodies continuously to remove the dust from their lower bodies.
However, one rabbit was obviously slow in its movements. Li Xiaocan pinched its ears and lifted it up, then took out a bottle of essential oil from the locker at the door.
He first patted the back of its neck to put the rabbit into a dormant state, and then twisted the rabbit's tail. With two "clicks", the rabbit was broken in half.
Countless rolling mechanical gears were hidden in its belly. Li Xiaocan found the stuck ring, added some essential oil into it, and then twisted the tail back.
The rabbit came "alive" again and rubbed Li Xiaocan's fingers affectionately.
"The animals in this world..." Li Ziyue hesitated, "Are they all machines?"
"It's just that I have a 'zoo director' at home," Li Xiaocan smiled. "You can customize the style of this little life machine. At night you will see fireflies all over the place. They are actually lighting fixtures."
Except for the rabbit stuck in the gears, these animals were so realistic that there was no trace of imitation. Li Ziyue held a palm-sized little fox in his palm and stared at it.
Zhang Lian quietly caught a hamster and put it above Li Ziyue's head.
"Hello, please let me register the visitor information."
It seemed like someone was talking on the ceiling. As soon as Li Ziyue raised his head, the hamster lost its balance and was about to fall down, so Li Ziyue held it from behind with his hands.
"I haven't matched you with an AI assistant yet," Li Xiaocan found two light gray earrings without spikes, "There are no other colors, so just make do with this."
"You can stick it anywhere on your body," he paused for two seconds, "usually on the earlobe."
Zhang Lian pursed his lips.
If you stick it to your earlobe, you won't be able to bite the plum that's there.
Li Ziyue glanced at him, put the earrings in his palm and said, "...Please put it on me."
Zhang Lian felt that this was the most difficult question he had ever encountered in his life.
