Chapter 47 Safety Zone 1 (2) - Li Mengqi's Explanation
Cheng Chuan thought for a moment: "Are there any reputable racing teams you could recommend?"
Cheng Chuan's concerns were not unfounded. Taking a private car could easily lead to being ripped off by unlicensed taxis. Since this was a way to make money, there must be reputable ones.
Li Mengqi smiled and said, "You've hit the nail on the head. That's exactly what I was about to say."
If you want to move between the safe zones, it's best to choose to ride in the 'Swift Wind' team's vehicles.
They usually have a blue flag with white lettering hanging on their vehicle.
The characters are simply written as "疾风" (Jifeng), with a vortex pattern inside the character "风".
They are a group of players who own cars and have the best reputation.
The route basically covers the large safe zones, but not the smaller ones; you have to leave some for others.
As long as it exists, Cheng Chuan isn't worried about it, but he's concerned about another question: "What is a safe zone?"
Ning Shu had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but they kept discussing the car, and she didn't feel comfortable interrupting.
Li Mengqi: "It's the place where players stay when they're not entering a dungeon. You can do what I did, find a safe zone to settle down in, and then go to other places to farm dungeons and earn points."
Ning Shu: "So you're planning to stay in the game? Is there no way to leave?"
Li Mengqi understood Ning Shu's feelings; almost every newlywed would have this question.
"Many veteran players have tried this, and there are no clues or hints that they can leave the game."
Over time, veteran players gave up. Instead of searching aimlessly, they decided to settle down and enjoy life.
No way? They've all given up? Ning Shu had a huge question mark on her head.
First it was Lei Tao, then Li Mengqi; it seemed as if staying in the game was only natural.
Ning Shu: "There's another question. If you die in a game, are you really dead?"
She'd had this question for a long time: in games, is it possible to start over if you die? Isn't that how it always is?
But Li Mengqi's answer shattered her illusions: "I haven't heard of any dead people coming back to life."
Ning Shu gave up and didn't ask any more questions.
Next up were Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi's endless questions.
Li Mengqi seemed to suddenly remember something, stopped the car, and instructed the three of them: "Pull up the game panel first, and follow my instructions."
Ning Shu and the others didn't understand, but they didn't ask any questions and did as instructed.
"Open the 'Settings' in the upper right corner, then 'Add Desktop App', scroll down to find an app called 'Huijie Chuangtu', and add it to your desktop."
"Return to the desktop, open the 'Map Creation' application, click 'Create Map', then 'Location', and enter your current location."
Li Mengqi pointed to a metal pillar painted red standing outside the car window, with several signs hanging on it.
There are several arrow-shaped signs from bottom to top, each pointing in a different direction and bearing different text.
The topmost and largest sign reads "South Ring Road - Fenglin Section".
Li Mengqi: "Along the way, I would stop at each of these road signs and ask you to locate your location and enter your name."
Don't turn this app off; it will automatically record the routes you've taken.
"From now on, you should make it a habit to locate yourself in places with clear landmarks when exploring a new place, so it will be easier for you to find your way."
Cheng Chuan: "So this game doesn't have a ready-made map, and players have to draw their own? Aren't there any maps sold in the store?"
Li Mengqi: "There is no such thing in the store. The roads and road signs you see now, as well as the safe zone we are going to, were all built by the players themselves."
There are maps available for sale, but you can't afford them right now, so you'll have to draw them yourself for the time being.
What?! This was completely unexpected for Ning Shu and the other two.
Even Wu Yi was quite surprised. What kind of logic is it for players to build a game? Is this how you play a game?
Cheng Chuan: "Where did the construction materials and machinery come from?"
It can't be produced by the players themselves, that's simply impossible. To produce products, you need a corresponding level of technology.
It's like everyone knows that atomic bombs can be made, but without the corresponding technological conditions, even if you know the principle, you can't make one.
Li Mengqi understood his meaning and succinctly replied: "Copy."
Holy crap, this dungeon is omnipotent!
Wu Yi even asked, "So all the materials used to build all this were brought out from the dungeon?"
Li Mengqi nodded: "After the first batch of players came out of the dungeon, they found that the survival environment was too primitive, so they took the initiative to develop a survival area themselves."
Gradually, some clever players discovered that they could use items to bring some materials out of the dungeon.
So they began to unite all the players and work together to build the safe zone.
Wu Yi exclaimed, "Wow, that's awesome! Humans really are capable of anything."
Ning Shuting agrees with this point.
Cheng Chuan thought of something: "Players can't always be so united."
Li Mengqi laughed: "That's right, so after they split up, they each established different safe zones and then continued to build them."
The first safe zone they established was called 'Safe Zone 1,' and the subsequent safe zones were named sequentially according to the order of their construction.
Cheng Chuan: "Would they all be so obedient as to name their children this way?"
Li Mengqi: "Of course not, but the largest ones are named with numbers."
There are five in total, numbered 1 to 5. These five were established by the main figures who worked together to build the safe zones.
No one knows exactly how many small safe zones there are, because some are so small that they only have a few people, yet they are still called safe zones.
The names, besides being numbers, are incredibly diverse; no one has bothered to keep track.
Cheng Chuan: "Since it was built by someone, it can't be open to anyone, right? Are there any conditions?"
Li Mengqi: "Young man, you're amazing. You even thought of that."
That's right, you need to pay points as a construction fee to enter the safe zone.
However, you are only allowed to enter; you are responsible for your own expenses inside.
Ning Shu immediately sensed something was wrong: "Won't we have to pay points every time we enter?"
Li Mengqi: "Of course not. You need to do it the first time you enter. They will give you a small card."
The small card is valid for 3 months. You don't need to show it when leaving during this period; just show it to the guard when entering.
Wu Yi didn't think this was a problem and boldly said, "I can just not return the card after it expires, right?"
Ning Shu rolled her eyes at Wu Yi: Do you really think these players are pushovers? Others can set up survival zones, but they can't handle these little tricks?
Li Mengqi smiled at the innocent Wu Yi: "The card will disappear after it expires."
Cheng Chuan: "So the little cards were props?"
Li Mengqi: "It should be said that it is produced by a prop company. It cannot be used as a prop, but it has the attributes of a prop."
The three understood.
Li Mengqi led them to draw maps along the way, and the last location was "South Ring Road - Security Zone No. 1".
After arriving at their destination, Li Mengqi put the car back into the game panel, and then they could walk in.
Ning Shu thought this method was really convenient; there was no need to look for parking spaces, and no need to worry about the car being stolen.
