1.
Wen Qing stood in the white fog, walking forward aimlessly.
Wisps of white mist lingered around him, bringing a slight coolness. Not only did it not make him uncomfortable, Wen Qing even felt a lot more energetic.
After walking a few steps, a ray of light suddenly appeared in front of me.
Wen Qing ran over quickly and saw the familiar large advertising words made of steel support frames and metal - Hefang Building.
He returned to the rooftop where he started.
[The player has successfully cleared the first instance and is now issued a personal system. 】
[System binding...]
[Binding successful, system 001 is at your service. ]
A familiar cold tune suddenly sounded in his mind. Wen Qing was startled. After a long while, he stammered, "Hello..."
001: [Yes.]
Wen Qing was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Are you my personal system?"
001: [Yes.]
Wen Qing was dazed. He had seen systems in novels. Since no systems appeared during the copy, he thought that there were no systems in this infinite world.
001 said coldly: [The clearance rate of the God-level dungeon is too low, and no personal system will be issued to new players to save energy and reduce emissions. ]
Wen Qing was surprised. Energy saving and emission reduction?
001: [Hmm?]
The same monosyllable, but the cold tone rose slightly, as if questioning Wen Qing.
Wen Qing was shocked for two seconds by the humanization of the system, and praised dryly: "It's really an environmentally friendly game..."
[The rewards for the Guide dungeon are being calculated...]
【Instance completion rate: 100%.】
【Comprehensive assessment: SSS. 】
[Rewards: 10,000 points, god-level buff [Guide], 1 human residence. ]
Wen Qing was a little confused, his mind full of questions.
What can points do?
Will you get a house for completing a copy?
What is the guide buff?
…………
Before he could ask, he heard 001 say: [Don't stay, go to the human world immediately.]
001's voice was inorganically cold, and almost exactly the same as the voice of the system in the copy.
Wen Qing did as he was told subconsciously. He took two steps forward and asked in a low voice, "How do we get there?"
001 uttered a word: [Door.]
Wen Qing looked towards the white door in front of him.
The last time he walked through this door, he entered the dungeon.
This time…
Wen Qing asked fearfully, "Are we going to a new dungeon again?"
001: [Not a copy.]
Wen breathed a sigh of relief and asked nervously, "Where, where is that place?"
001 did not explain, and said indifferently: [Go to the human world immediately. ]
It didn't say anything, and Wen Qing didn't dare to ask any more. He walked forward cautiously. After a few steps, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
"Qingqing, what a coincidence."
It was Zhou Zhou’s voice.
Wen Qing's face changed and he ran forward in panic.
The footsteps behind me suddenly increased.
Wen Qing could even feel the wind created by Zhou Zhou running towards him. The moment he grasped the door handle, the corner of his clothes was grabbed.
"I caught you." Zhou Zhou said with a smile.
【Go in.】
Hearing 001's voice, Wen Qing pushed the door open and rushed in without thinking twice.
…………
【Welcome to the human world. 】
Wen Qing ran forward in panic without paying any attention to what 001 said. He only stopped when he could no longer run, gasping for breath.
He tilted his head to look behind him, raised his eyes, and froze in place.
This is a busy commercial street with shops with flashing neon lights on both sides of the road. They sell snacks, clothes, restaurants, etc. People in various costumes are bustling in front of the shops.
Almost exactly like the real world.
Wen Qing slowly raised his head and looked at the sky.
There was no sun or moon in the sky, only thick white fog. There seemed to be a transparent glass cover directly above the commercial street, separating the white fog. There was also a huge light blue figure in the air, like a holographic projection, and its appearance was vague and unclear.
"Where is this?"
"Welcome to the world." A laughing voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
Wen Qing was startled and stepped back, looking warily at the strange man who suddenly appeared in front of him.
The man was about twenty years old, handsome and smiling. Seeing Wen Qing's alert look, he smiled and stood where he was without approaching.
"Are you new here?"
"My name is Bai Tong, and I mean no harm," Bai Tong paused and said with a smile, "Since you're a newbie, I wanted to ask if you want to buy a beginner's guide."
"Just one point."
Wen Qing pursed his lips: "How do you know I'm a newcomer?"
Bai Tong burst out laughing: "You looked up for a long time, you must be a newcomer coming to the human world for the first time."
"This place is called the human world. It's a resting place after clearing the dungeon."
Wen Qing asked, "Will everyone come here after clearing the dungeon?"
So is Zhouzhou also nearby?
Bai Tong stretched out his hand and made a sign: "One point."
Wen Qing said slowly: "I'd better ask the system."
Bai Tong smiled and said, “There are many things that the system does not have the authority to tell you.”
Wen Qing lowered his eyes. He did not doubt Bai Tong's words.
Just now, 001 didn't tell him what the human world is.
And he was a little afraid of 001, so he might as well ask the players.
Now I have 10,000 points, and one point is not much, but I don’t know how to give it away.
Wen Qing raised his eyes and was about to ask, but Bai Tong said, "Just ask your system to transfer it directly to system No. 17834."
Wen Qing responded, but hesitated and didn't dare to bother the cold 001.
The next second, 001 said indifferently: [Transferred.]
Wen Qing whispered: "Thank you, thank you."
Bai Tong smiled and began to explain: "After clearing the level, you will be randomly teleported to the human world."
"From the way you looked just now, were you hiding from your teammates from the previous dungeon?"
Wen nodded gently.
Bai Tong continued, "Don't worry, players who have cleared the same dungeon will be sent to different places."
Wen Qing reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief and asked nervously, "Will we meet again in the future?"
Bai Tong: "It depends on luck. In the human world, it's possible if the other person is willing to find you."
"As for the dungeons, I haven't run into anyone familiar in the few dungeons I've been in."
Wen Qing prayed silently in her heart that she would never meet Zhou Zhou in the future.
After a while, he blinked and asked, "Where are the newcomers' guides?"
Bai Tong raised his hand and pointed at the tip of his nose: "Isn't this person standing right in front of you?"
Wen Qing: “…”
Bai Tong said with a smile: "Ask whatever you want to ask. I will tell you everything I know."
Wen Qing thought for a moment and asked, "How can we leave here?"
Bai Tong applauded: "Good question, next one."
Wen Qing: “…”
Bai Tong laughed: "To be honest, I don't know either."
"But there are rumors that if players clear a certain number of dungeons and accumulate enough points, they can have a wish come true. If you still want to, you can make a wish to leave here."
Wen Qing quickly asked: "How many points and copies are needed?"
Bai Tong shook his head: "Then I don't know."
"Okay," Wen Qing lowered his head and thought for a while, then continued to ask, "What are the points for?"
Bai Tong pointed to a shop nearby and said, "You need points to eat, drink and have fun in the human world."
Wen Qing understood that points were the currency here.
He pursed his lips and asked softly, "If someone dies in a dungeon, is he really dead, or has he left this game world..."
Hearing this, Bai Tong looked at Wen Qing deeply and said, "You are the first one to ask me this question."
"I only know that once you die in a dungeon, there is no way to get back on track. If you don't want to accept their death, you can think of it as them being kicked out of the game."
Wen Qing opened his mouth and was about to speak when he heard 001's cold voice in his mind.
【Dead.】
Wen Qing's face was pale as he stumbled over his thanks: "Thank you, thank you."
Bai Tong thought he was thanking him, so he smiled and said, "You are quite polite."
"Let's exchange the money and the information at the same time. No need to thank me all the time."
Wen Qing lowered his eyes, stared at the floor tiles, and asked slowly: "Um... do you know any information about the copy?"
Bai Tong responded: "There are three levels of dungeons, from high to low difficulty, God level, Monster level, and Human level."
Seeing Wen Qing's pale face, trembling eyelashes, and a pitiful look, he added: "The dungeons are all random, and newcomers are likely to go to simpler human-level dungeons, so you don't have to worry."
"Not many unlucky people go to the God-level dungeon right from the start. Luck is also a part of strength."
Wen Qing couldn't help but purse his lips, thinking, he is the unlucky guy.
There is no such thing as luck in my life. I can't even win with another bottle.
So the first copy is the most difficult.
Bai Tong: "Even if you go to the strange and god-level dungeons, it is not necessarily a bad thing. These dungeons have a high chance of dropping items and buffs, which will make it easier to clear the dungeons in the future."
Wen Qing hummed softly, thinking that if he entered another god-level copy, he might have no future.
Bai Tong: "If you really enter those dungeons, you only need to remember one thing."
Wen Qing raised his eyes and asked softly, "What's the matter?"
Meeting his clear eyes, Bai Tong was slightly startled, and quickly looked away, clearing his throat: "The level of the copy represents the highest level of the boss."
Wen Qing was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Bai Tong laughed and said, "It's a god-level copy. You might encounter gods, monsters, and the like. In a monster copy, you can only encounter monsters at most. In a human-level copy, you have to be careful of humans."
Wen Qing couldn't believe it: "God?"
Bai Tong touched his nose and asked, "Are you an atheist?"
Wen Qing nodded: "I have applied to join the party."
He said seriously: "If I hadn't come here, I would be an active member of the party now."
Bai Tong: “…”
After a moment of silence, he said, "If you want to treat this world as a game, then think of gods and ghosts as a type of character."
"If you think of this as another reality... then God exists."
Wen Qing didn't dwell on whether this was a game world or not. He organized his words for a while and slowly asked, "Is it possible that there wouldn't be gods in a god-level copy?"
Bai Tong shrugged: "I heard that the god-level copy must be related to the gods. The gods may appear or not. It depends on the copy."
Related to God?
Wen Weiwei lowered his eyes. The only thing related to God in that copy was... the God card.
He suddenly remembered Yu Xing's ambiguous words, the literal meaning, praying to God...
And the book about God...
If Yu Xing and Ji Yu were really gods...
The world is ending.
2.
Seeing Wen Qing lost in thought, Bai Tong leaned against the wall casually, his eyes gradually falling on Wen Qing's clothes.
There was a tear at the corner of his white T-shirt, as if it had been torn with great force. The rags fluttered in the wind, and his fair waist was faintly visible under the clothes.
Except for Wen Qing's shirt, everything else was intact and clean. Considering his frightened look at the beginning, it is not difficult to imagine what happened at the end of the copy.
Bai Tong raised his eyelids and looked at Wen Qing's delicate and beautiful face.
Appearance is not a sin, weakness is.
He had only been here for ten minutes, but he couldn't count the number of people who kept glancing at him with both hands.
Bai Tong sighed and gave a warning glance at the person who was about to make a move not far away.
Meeting Bai Tong's gaze, the man in the corner shrank back and left.
Bai Tong raised his hand and snapped his fingers right under Wen Qing's eyes: "Wake up."
Wen Qing came back to his senses and looked up blankly.
Bai Tong asked: "Is there anything else you want to know?"
Wen Qing pursed his lips. He had a lot of questions, but suddenly he couldn't say them.
After thinking for a while, he asked softly, "Um... can I add friends here?"
"Can I ask you later?"
Bai Tong laughed: "You want to keep me for free for the rest of your life with just one point?"
Wen Qing's cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly said, "I can pay more."
Bai Tong shrugged and said casually: "One point is a newcomer discount for you. You can't afford the price after that."
Wen Qing was stunned for a moment, then realized that Bai Tong’s main purpose was not to make money, but to take care of newcomers.
So only one point was collected.
“Thank you…”
"Come on, I'll take you to where I live." Bai Tong turned around and walked into an alley.
Bai Tong was about 1.9 meters tall and walked very fast. In the blink of an eye, he was almost invisible. Wen Qing no longer hesitated and hurried to follow him.
Wen Qing ran behind him, grabbed his sleeve, and said breathlessly: "Wait, wait a minute..."
Hearing his panting, Bai Tong stopped.
Wen Qing paused for a moment, then slowly asked, "How do you know where I live?"
"A hotel run by the system..."
As he spoke, Bai Tong paused, realized something, raised his eyelids and looked at Wen Qing.
Asking this kind of question means that the newcomer has a house.
Bai Tong stared at Wen Qing, somewhat surprised.
The houses in the human world are different from those in the real world. They are not high-rise buildings on the roadside, but more like personal spaces, and are only dropped in god-level copies.
Bai Tong chuckled and thought, no wonder his face wrinkled like that when he said there was a high probability of going to a human-level dungeon.
Wen Qing didn't notice his look, lowered her head and panted, "I got a reward house for clearing the dungeon."
Bai Tong smiled and said, "Then you are quite lucky."
Wen Qing lowered his eyes and responded softly.
Bai Tong pointed to the small buildings that could be seen everywhere on the roadside. They looked like British telephone booths, square, transparent on all sides, and had a door.
Wen Qing saw someone push open the door, and disappeared the next second after walking in.
Bai Tong said, "Open the door and go directly to your personal residence."
"Thank you..." Wen Qing thanked him softly, and then asked in a low voice, "So you can add friends here, right?"
Just now Bai Tong only said that he couldn't afford the price, he didn't say that friends can't be added here.
Bai Tong hummed and tilted his head to look at him.
After jogging this distance, Wen Qing's pale cheeks were tinged with red, and her hair was slightly curled up, making her look very cute.
Bai Tong was afraid that if he stayed any longer he would become soft-hearted, so he turned around and left without looking back: "I'm leaving."
Wen Qing glanced at his back and walked towards the building that looked like a telephone booth.
There was a bulletin board next to the pavilion, and many people gathered in front of it, chatting:
"Did Oz clear another god-level dungeon?"
"He is the only one who has passed the level among a hundred people."
"Fuck that's awesome."
…………
Wen Qing paused and looked up. There seemed to be something written on the bulletin board, with pictures and text. He had just read a few words when the bulletin board suddenly became blank.
"Fuck, it's refreshed. Who pushed Oz down?"
Wen Qing looked bewildered.
Who is Oz? What is Refresh?
Suddenly, a deep and cold male voice sounded in the air: [Player **, Player ** successfully cleared the God-level Dungeon Guide. From now on, the probability of God-level Dungeons appearing will be increased by 10%. I wish all players a happy game.]
Wen Qing was so frightened that he shuddered, firstly because of the content of the notification, and secondly because the voice of this main system was exactly the same as that of 001.
[Player **, Player ** successfully cleared the God-level dungeon guide, God-level dungeon probability...]
[Player**, Player** successfully cleared the level...]
The main system broadcast the news three times, and the players on the street were in chaos.
"What's going on?"
"What is the copy of Guide?"
"It's over. I, I don't want to go to the God-level copy."
"Who the hell did this?"
“Why is this news anonymous?”
…………
Wen Qing's face became paler and paler. He was so scared that he quickly ran into the pavilion, opened the door and rushed in.
The moment I closed the door, the world in front of me changed.
It is a house of about 100 square meters, with two bedrooms, a living room and a kitchen, and is beautifully decorated.
Wen Qing had no time to appreciate the decoration of the house. He sat down on the floor, feeling a sour feeling in his nose.
The probability of a god-level copy appearing increases, and his probability of entering a god-level copy also increases.
I want to cry.
【Do you want to view personal information? 】
001 suddenly spoke, Wen Qing was startled and nodded subconsciously.
The next second, a transparent panel appeared in front of him with his information written on it.
[Player: Wen Qing]
[Identity: Human (cannot carry anything on the shoulders or with the hands, average IQ, a useless ordinary human)]
[Age: 20 (adult in human age)]
[Human visa: seven days (you can only stay in the human world for seven days, please pay attention to the date)]
[Skill: ? ? Cry? ? (The consequences of using the skill are unknown)]
[Buff: Guide (all non-humans will have a good impression of you, those who have * want to * you, and those who don’t have * also want to * you)]
Wen Qing could understand the first few messages, but what was the last line?
Wen Qing remembered that this buff was the reward for clearing the dungeon, but he couldn't understand the explanation of the buff at all.
After struggling for a while, he carefully asked 001: "What does this asterisk mean?"
001: [That’s *. ]
Wen Qing: “???”
001 reluctantly explained: [Some words are blocked.]
Wen Qing was stunned. If he was blocked...
It’s definitely not a good thing!
After thinking for a while, Wen Qing asked tentatively: "Do you want to eat me?"
001: [You can also understand it this way. ]
Wen Qing almost cried. This was not a buff at all, it was clearly a debuff.
What if the next copy he encounters is a god-level or strange monster? Wouldn’t that be a sure loss of life?
After a while, he asked in a low voice: "Can I not have this strange buff?"
001 didn't speak.
Wen Qing pursed her lips: "Does this mean you can do it by default?"
Then he heard a sneer.
Wen Qing couldn't hold it back any longer. His eyes turned red, tears formed in front of his eyes, and his vision gradually blurred.
As he cried, he silently thought to himself, the sound was the same as the main system, but why was there a sneer...
Wen Qing had the feeling that he was always with the main system and was being stared at by it, which was terrifying.
After crying for a while, 001's voice came into my mind again: [The most advanced hunters often appear as prey.]
This sounded like he was trying to comfort Wen Qing, but Wen Qing didn't want to hear 001's voice at the moment, and he didn't dare not respond to him, so he had to choke up and say, "Am I the top hunter?"
001: [You are the most delicious prey. ]
Wen Qing: “???”
