Someone arrives, and the shadow falls.
Lao Tian, the person in charge of the strange place, didn't even look up, and simply asked, "Name, what are you looking for?"
Ying Rujin said, "Su Deng."
Lao Tian paused, then abruptly looked up, his gaze sweeping from Ying Rujin to her side. Behind his glasses, his eyes, sharp and scrutinizing, fixed on Su Deng. "The new player being broadcast on the world today?"
The person is already here; nothing can be changed.
Su Deng's expression had returned to normal, and she replied, "Yes."
"These new players are really useless, only you survived." Lao Tian muttered, searching in the system with his finger, "After new players who pass the newbie adaptation course become official players, their information will be automatically recorded and numbered by the main system... Found it."
She read aloud, "Su Deng, a D-rank newbie player from another world, has set a record by obtaining god-level materials in the newbie adaptation dungeon. Her accommodation has been assigned to a room on the 18th floor of an abandoned building, and her number has been filled in as D. Her data has been transferred into your system."
Su Deng opened the panel and saw the residence in a list of functions.
“That place…” Ying Rujin wasn’t surprised at all. “I’ll take you there.”
The environment of the Spirit Realm is oppressive and dark, mostly consisting of ruins, densely packed and tall buildings, some even crooked and about to collapse, with no end in sight to the edge of the city.
The abandoned building that Lao Tian mentioned has 32 floors.
It looks dilapidated and charred from being bombed, soaring straight into the clouds like a colossal beast about to devour people.
I don't know how such a building can stand up.
Ying Rujin said, "In order to provide players with places outside the game, the Divine Court created the Spirit Realm and assigned accommodations to each official player. The abandoned buildings are mainly inhabited by low-level and novice players, and the environment is not very good. However, players will always apply for better accommodations based on their own abilities and personal levels."
"What does the number mean?" Taking advantage of the fact that someone was explaining it to her, Su Deng asked all the questions she didn't understand.
“There’s a central system in the game world. Every player who enters the Spirit Realm will automatically generate a code for it to record data,” Ying Rujin said in a clear voice. “It’s not useful to the player themselves, so don’t worry about it.”
There's even an elevator in this dilapidated building.
It stopped on the 18th floor.
The elevator doors opened, revealing four corridors leading in different directions, with a door every ten meters on average. The corridors were winding and had oval corners.
Except for the doorman's number, every passage and every door is exactly the same.
This isn't a place to stay, it's a maze!
Just looking at it made Su Deng feel dizzy.
When Ying Rujin first arrived, she also lived in this abandoned building. She led Su Deng to the room with ease.
"After the system records the allocation, each room is matched with the player's information. Non-players cannot enter. Only when the player grants permission can others enter."
Su Deng: "..."
This setting is increasingly resembling a large-scale live-action online game.
[404 Error Notice: The door will open when the player places their hand on it.]
That dead 404 system suddenly popped up at this moment.
Ying Rujin said that stupid systems are probably all pretty much the same.
Knowing she wasn't alone made Su Deng feel much better, and when he heard him suddenly appear, she didn't even bother to curse him anymore.
I raised my hand and placed it on the door, and a display screen flashed out in the middle of the door.
Set permissions.
The door opened.
It was even smaller than Ying Rujin's room; you could walk around it in ten steps in all directions. There was nothing there except a bed and a lamp.
Ying Rujin said, "Daily necessities can be redeemed with points at the store."
Su Deng looked at the room and felt quite conflicted.
She never imagined that she, a plague-fighting orphan, would be able to own her own house in her lifetime.
And it wasn't purchased, it was allocated.
However, in a game world, it is assigned by a system.
The real world is not reality.
It's really weird.
Ying Rujin said, "You probably can't sleep right now and aren't in the mood to rest. I'm free today, so let me take you for a walk."
Su Deng looked at her, slightly hesitant, "Why do you want to help me?"
Ying Rujin was silent for a while, then turned and left the room, saying softly, "When I first came here, I was terrified and helpless. A very kind older sister acted as my guide. She was very gentle and kind, introducing everything to me. Later, she died in the game to save me."
One sentence sums it all up.
This was an answer Su Deng hadn't expected. She opened her mouth, "I'm sorry."
"It's all in the past," Ying Rujin said expressionlessly. "I don't save everyone. Your situation was just a coincidence. I only introduced you to this place because I was interested in you."
"Absolutely not." Hearing this, Su Deng gave a self-deprecating laugh. "I'm a nemesis. Anyone who becomes my friend will be unlucky. Death is a common occurrence for them."
"Is that so?" Ying Rujin raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement in her voice.
In the following time, Ying Rujin took Su Deng to the Void Auction House and several key locations in the Spirit Realm.
Finally, we went to the game lobby.
Tens of millions of screens are broadcasting live streams from players, attracting all sorts of people to watch, creating a futuristic and technologically advanced atmosphere.
It's stunning.
"The main system will capture top players and some special and interesting players and put them into this lobby for live streaming. Other players will stream on their own channels, and viewers can give them points as rewards."
Ying Rujin led her around, saying, "There are seven game guilds in the Spirit Realm, all of which are not to be trifled with. Many newcomers are recruited after they come in, while a small number of them work as lone wolves."
