Infinite Possibilities 1
The space around him gradually turned into pixels. Su Wanxing stood there helplessly, and saw his body flowing like a linear beam of light.
This time the road to the finish line was not that long. Su Wanxing only felt his body lighten for a moment, and in the blink of an eye he was in a dark office.
There were two people in green uniforms standing in front of him, but Su Wanxing had no idea what their gender was.
"Where is this?" Luo Ci's voice came from Su Wanxing's left.
"Space-time terminal." said one of the men in green uniforms.
Luo Ci turned his head to Su Wanxing again, "I haven't seen you for a few months. Your face has become a little rounder."
"Thank you for the compliment." Su Wanxing read the reply.
Luo Ci asked as usual, "Why aren't you talking?" She was referring to Liu Ying, who was standing on Su Wanxing's right.
Su Wanxing ignored it this time. Liu Ying has always been very powerful. If she wanted to be in the top three, she would definitely achieve it. After all, she is her master's wife!
"Oh, congratulations to the three of you. From now on, you are the new employees of Space-Time Terminal." said the more active one in green.
Su Wanxing and the other two couldn't help but frown. They thought they would suffer such a disaster just to select a few cattle and horses?
"Don't get me wrong. I'm a recycler from the Crisis Management Bureau." The serious green-clothed man who claimed to be a recycler confessed, "Your arrival means a lot to us."
But Su Wanxing did not see any joy on its stern face, but more of numbness.
Recyclers? Su Wanxing glanced at the two people in green clothes in front of him. The last time they met, they were still two green outlines. How come they have the shape of humans now?
"Then you are the controller?" Luo Ci asked another lively man in green clothes.
The operator bowed politely, "That's right, ladies, I didn't expect my luck to be so good that I get to meet you so early."
"What are the rewards for completing the dungeon?" Su Wanxing asked.
"Oh, I almost forgot. This is the fragment of truth that belongs to the winner." The manipulator waved his hands comically.
Three pieces of debris suddenly flashed in front of Su Wanxing and the other two, and flew towards the corresponding winners.
The recycler said in a businesslike manner: "And your work badges."
"Are you really here to work?" Luo Ci spread his hands, "You guys are so boring."
The operator said jokingly: "The space-time terminal is full of infinite possibilities, waiting for you to explore it yourself."
"I'm in a hurry, so I won't waste my time talking to you guys." The Recycler said seriously, "Our Crisis Management Bureau is recruiting two people this time. One will work in the Crisis Management Bureau, and the other will be the general manager of the NPC House under the Crisis Management Bureau."
Hearing this, Su Wanxing gritted her teeth unconsciously. It must be because Grandma Song was cleaned up, so...
"Then I have to solemnly introduce our Space-Time Administration Bureau, which is commonly known as the fast-travel bureau. But in addition to fast-travel, there are also various types such as slow-travel and book-travel. Here, you can experience the fun of creating copies, have the right to change the fate of players, and so on." The operator said confidently.
Luo Ci asked: "Can I choose now?"
The controller shook his head. "Don't worry, Miss Player. We uphold the principles of fairness, justice and openness. Naturally, the player ranked first will have the priority to choose."
"I choose the Space-Time Administration." Su Wanxing said, since copies can be created here, maybe some secret clues about Zhou Tian's deception can be found.
Luo Ci shrugged, "Okay, I'll go to the NPC House."
Liu Ying said nothing and was naturally assigned to the Crisis Management Department.
At this time, light flashed on the three work badges, and each person's whereabouts were engraved on the badge.
The controller raised his head proudly, "As expected, our Space-Time Administration is still popular."
The recycler rolled his eyes at it and disappeared, taking Luo Ci and Liu Ying with him.
In the dark office, only the controller and Su Wanxing were left staring at each other.
"My child, you must have had a hard time along the way. All you have left is hatred in your eyes." The manipulator said kindly, "This won't do. If someone with ulterior motives sees your ambition, how will you proceed in the future?"
Su Wanxing blinked in bewilderment.
"That's right. In the human world, you are already a powerful being, and you can completely ignore everyone's expressions, but in the space-time terminal, everyone is the same." The operator changed the subject, "Okay, there is no point in talking more, I will take you to see the workstation."
Having said that, the operator opened the door and walked out with Su Wanxing.
The room is still dark, but it is illuminated by the button lights on the operation panel, which are colorful and flashy, and outside the transparent glass is a starry sky that stretches as far as the eye can see.
"Every star outside has its own story." The operator's eyes were full of light, "Welcome to the Space-Time Administration."
Perhaps they heard their leader's voice, all the employees who were working around put down their work and rushed towards Su Wanxing.
"Hello, T-820-1. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me."
"T-820-1, welcome to join us. We are now a family."
"T-820-1, I'm D-123-4, nice to meet you."
Su Wanxing nodded one by one, but didn't understand why he suddenly lost his name.
"T-820-1 is your current code name, just like your name in the human world." The operator helped explain, "Of course, if you are not used to it, you can call you whatever you want us to call you."
The operator brought Su Wanxing to the new workstation. "Oh, by the way, I remember that you humans are very sensitive about gender. You don't have to worry about it here. We don't have this kind of discrimination. Besides, you are no different from other people in our eyes. We don't care about your appearance or your gender."
A group of employees echoed.
“That’s right.”
"I analyze thousands of faces every day, and I'm a little face-blind."
"That's right, let's see if the new workstation is suitable for us?"
With everyone's warm greetings, Su Wanxing chose to sit at his workstation.
"Hmm? Is there a new person?" the soft chair suddenly said.
Even the table spoke up, "Hello, newcomer. My name is table. But there are too many tables called tables here. If you have nothing to do, you'd better not talk to me."
Su Wanxing was slightly surprised.
The controller smiled kindly and explained, "Everything here has life, but everyone only has a number."
Su Wanxing accepted it well, "Then how many hours do I work a day?"
"My dear, time here is so long that it can even be ignored." The controller said, "We don't have years, months, days, hours, minutes, seconds, you can work as long as you want. Of course, you can also not work and just slack off, because there will always be times when you can't spare any time."
Su Wanxing considered carefully, "Which dimension am I in now?"
"Eight-dimensional space, to put it simply, you see, every star outside represents an unfinished universe. Think of it as a point, and we are the line segments connecting the points. The intersection of infinite points forms a vast multiverse. Here, there will be infinite possibilities."
"So, we clear the levels according to the physical strength ranking just to find a constant source of motivation to work and turn this place into a perpetual motion machine?"
The operator was very surprised by Su Wanxing's speech and couldn't help but think of a familiar human. "Don't be too pessimistic. We are just system software that executes commands. When there are no instructions, we are just slacking off."
Once again, the employees echoed in unison.
"Yes, we are not like the Crisis Management Bureau, which works in three shifts. We are either fixing bugs or on our way to fix them."
"I recently learned a new way to play cards. I'll teach you later!"
"There are a few new hit novels on the gold list. I can have fun after I finish this busy period."
The controller looked at the employees lovingly, "Kids, take me one!"
Su Wanxing: “…” Okay, the working atmosphere seems pretty good.
There is almost no concept of time here, so there is no such thing as human behavior such as eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, and sleeping. To be more intuitive, everyone is more like the gods in the eyes of humans, detached from the world.
Su Wanxing would not feel tired or exhausted. Even if he felt exhausted at his workstation, he could go to the employee lounge to have fun. As for the entertainment activities, almost all of them were copied from the human world.
Is this the end? There is no end in sight for the work here, no different from prison.
Su Wanxing would occasionally take out the flying house, and her colleagues were very happy to see everything she did. Whenever they got any snacks, they would rush to share them with everyone and praise Su Wanxing.
So Su Wanxing felt that in addition to being a prison, this place was more like a nerve-numbing Garden of Eden, and the invisible time was quietly devouring Su Wanxing's hatred and memories.
Su Wanxing usually doesn’t have any special tasks. He even does the computer backend work in the human world, either updating the copies or testing the copies.
"T-820-1, oh no, I should call you Su Wanxing, your name really sounds like the heroine in a novel." D-123-4 walked over and said, "We need you to shoot a new commercial today."
"Advertisement?" Su Wanxing repeated.
D-123-4 said without a doubt: "Yes, it has been a long time since a new player has passed the level. As the first place winner, of course you have to shoot a commercial to promote us!"
Su Wanxing was pushed into the photography room by it, which was actually a large holographic projection camera. It also clamored to change Su Wanxing into a very cool outfit.
So Su Wanxing came in front of the holographic camera wearing heavy armor and waved a heavy weapon that was said to be released into the game mall.
D-123-4 said attentively, "Look at the ad in front of us. Let's shoot the first take now. One take at a time. Action!"
Su Wanxing looked at the pop-up ad, a little speechless, "Survival... uh, destruction, is a... uh, gamble with time!"
"Click!" D-123-4 felt something was wrong, so he took out a mask from the prop box and asked Su Wanxing to put it on. He then said with great satisfaction, "That's right. We need to maintain the sense of mystery. Su Wanxing, read the lines more fluently! One take, two takes, action!"
"..." Su Wanxing felt like he was playing house, and swung his weapon in coordination, "Survival and destruction are a gamble with time!"
Jump to advertising words.
Su Wanxing cursed inwardly, "Why are there still some?" He continued, "Are you still worried about surviving natural disasters? Are you still afraid of not being able to pass the level? You deserve defensive armor! Skin-friendly texture, close-fitting design, perfect for resisting crises! With it, you will say goodbye to the deterrent power of a 999 sword forever!"
The advert jumps again.
And?! Su Wanxing kept on talking, and finally heard D-123-4 yell "click"!
Su Wanxing thought it was over, but he heard D-123-4's torturous "one more".
Su Wanxing read it about ten times, and he almost knew it by heart, before he finished filming an advertisement.
However, this advertisement sounded familiar. Su Wanxing asked curiously, "I seem to have seen similar advertisements every time I entered a dungeon before."
D-123-4 was not surprised. "Every time a new player passes the level, they shoot a commercial. The slogans are almost the same. The commercial you see might be the one shot by the last new player who passed the level."
Su Wanxing quickly locked onto the key information, "Where did the last newcomer who passed the level go?"
"Ah? Hiss, it's been a while, I don't remember it very well, why are you asking this?"
"I think maybe I and it might have something in common?"
"I see. Next time you see the controller, just ask it."
"Okay." Su Wanxing took out a bag of melon seeds to show his gratitude.
D-123-4 smiled instantly, "Hehehe, thank you."
Back at his workstation, Su Wanxing fiddled with the keyboard out of boredom when suddenly all the lights flickered, and it continued to flash three times as if there was a power shortage.
Su Wanxing asked the colleague next to him puzzledly, "What happened?"
My colleague shrugged. "I don't know. Strange things like this happen a lot recently."
Another colleague said mysteriously: "I heard that it was...ghosts causing trouble."
"Ah? The supernatural novels we usually manage have come true? No, they are true to begin with, but how did they involve us?"
"I don't know either, but I'm so scared. Su Wanxing, why are you so calm? Then you have to protect us."
Su Wanxing held his forehead with his hand, obviously feeling that their words were outrageous.
Immediately afterwards, a message came from the floating screen on the workstation, attracting Su Wanxing's attention.
[The space-time terminal manager will meet you in three seconds. ]
