“But Sister Lianrong, your stamina and strength are definitely far superior to mine! Even your fighting skills are top-notch!” Having said that, the rest was up to her to adjust. Cheng Shuang shrugged, with a middle-aged man’s sigh, “This is the legendary ‘every loss has its gains’!”
Du Jun chuckled and patted her little head.
The old man, who was watching all this from the side, nodded gratefully to the little girl. No one understood his granddaughter's temperament better than him. If she had been mature and strong enough, she would not have impulsively risked her life back then, and she would not have ended up in the land of death!
His only consolation was that the gate of reincarnation existed, giving him the chance to reunite with his granddaughter...
The old man sighed, pulled Lianrong, who was still struggling with her thoughts, aside, and gently scolded her, "Alright, didn't I tell you not to ask about other people's attribute points so easily? This is Xiaohe. If it were anyone else, they would have already thought you were someone with ill intentions."
Actually, everyone knows that Xiao He and Lian Rong are not real names, and they rarely call them by their real names. Cheng Shuang took a moment to realize that Xiao He refers to herself.
She scratched her face and didn't say anything more, just waiting for Lianrong to adjust her mindset before going into the dungeon.
Sun Han smiled gently, "My mental strength isn't high either, just over a hundred. I used to be an office worker, so my physical strength and power stats weren't ideal." If his mental strength were high, he wouldn't have been driven to neurasthenia, depression, and insomnia by the pressure back then.
Cheng Shuang and Du Jun exchanged a glance, surprised that Uncle Sun (Brother Sun) liked this type of strong, healthy, and beautiful young woman. Otherwise, this seemingly gentle and refined older brother wouldn't be the kind of person who would readily offer advice and comfort to others.
Sun Han turned his head and glared at the two mischievous kids, clearly not wanting to delay any longer! The emotions of his temporary teammates were also very important.
Lianrong felt comforted, at least she still had profound martial arts skills and her beloved family by her side.
She didn't want to think about the past; those regrets and remorse were not as important as living in the present.
The temporary teammate finally regained his optimism, smiled apologetically at everyone, and said, "We can set off now!"
Han Meimei was completely confused; she had no idea what the tickets actually referred to.
Li Lei knew his girlfriend was confused and gently comforted her, saying that he would explain to her outside.
Han Meimei wasn't particularly proactive, and seeing that Lianrong was unharmed, she didn't ask any more questions. She took Lianrong's hand again and stepped into the instance with everyone.
Upon opening their eyes, everyone's expression was blank.
They were still at the cruise ship terminal, and the mahogany roof remained unchanged.
Cheng Shuang quickly looked around and immediately pointed out the only difference: "The original exit was all green."
Now the city is brightly lit, and urbanization is evident.
"Don't let go yet."
Sun Han gave instructions.
At this moment, the seven people were determined to enter and exit together, even though the service staff at the exit were looking at them several times, they remained expressionless and ignored it.
Until they were completely off the platform.
Outside the platform, the starry sky was clear, a stark contrast to the bright sunshine when we disembarked.
The little girl, looking up at the sky, unconsciously let out a "Wow!" and raised her little hand high, pointing at the sky in surprise, asking, "Flying on a sword?"
Despite the towering buildings, there wasn't a single car on the road; instead, people occasionally darted overhead on swords.
"Is this cultivation of immortality?" Sun Han was dumbfounded.
"Is it some kind of high-tech stuff?" Li Lei asked, equally shocked.
"All I know is that there are very few people here!" Du Jun looked at the tall buildings next to the platform. The streetlights were on, but the buildings were dark and cold, as if the owners had not yet returned home.
"There are very few pedestrians in the sky."
No sooner had the old man finished speaking than a man in a green robe stepped out from what appeared to be a guard post, bowed to them with a scholar's salute, and asked, "May I ask, are you residents from the other side of the river?"
"Yes." Han Meimei nodded.
"Then please go to the Academy of Sciences to register for the population census. Whether you are visiting relatives or traveling, the Academy of Sciences will make appropriate arrangements for your itinerary."
Great, the guide NPC is here.
So is this actually a copy?
The game either uses and imitates cities on the other side of the strait to confuse their perception.
There was a moment of silence among them.
—That extremely dangerous copy can be anything you can imagine, it can be any kind of danger, it will always appear unexpectedly.
Grandpa Zheng's description of this place is just as abstract as the place itself.
Cheng Shuang tilted her head and asked, "Uncle, does the function of our city's Academy of Sciences match that of your city?"
The man laughed and said, "Of course! Every city has an academy of sciences with specific responsibilities."
In the eyes of the indigenous people, the concept of the Academy of Sciences is often closely associated with words such as mystery and danger. If the reason for going to the Academy of Sciences (hospital) before was to explore the final copy, now, the word Academy of Sciences has become more and more deeply ingrained in their minds, and their identity has become more and more independent, detached from the copy.
Similar to District X of a certain country in the modern world.
The group remained expressionless, and even Li Lei and Han Meimei, who had undergone another round of consciousness assimilation on the riverbank, sensed something was amiss.
Why would he admit to such an obviously fabricated lie?
Cheng Shuang paid special attention to the couple's expressions, which were both rather unnatural. They clearly hadn't expected the NPC guiding them to be so adept at lying through their teeth.
The little girl lowered her eyes. She didn't understand why the false premise of dismantling the bridge could affect the couple without them realizing it, while the major bugs like the hospital and the five elderly people weren't forcibly erased from their consciousness by the system.
