After recording everyone's appearance and the direct information provided by the screen, Yang Yu glanced at what Bai Jin and the others had written, without asking everyone to look at the screen again.
They are not human video recorders and it is impossible for them to engrave every detail of the picture into their minds.
Besides, Yang Yu had some idea of how to find those people.
"Bai Jin, use surveillance magic to see how big this city is."
"Um."
Bai Jin raised her wand and cast surveillance magic into the dark night sky, taking in a panoramic view of the entire city.
The virtual city on the seventh floor is much larger than Yang Yu had imagined, with a radius of more than fifteen kilometers. It is filled with countless repetitive and extremely monotonous sceneries. If you are not careful, you may get lost in this jungle of steel and concrete.
Such a huge city made Yang Yu more certain of his inner thoughts:
“It’s impossible to conduct a blanket search in such a large city.
Want to find those people and hand them over to the host on the screen.
Need to use props from this world.
The first is the mobile phone. There is a contact number at the bottom of the host's screen. We need a mobile phone to ensure that we can find the person and send them to the host.
During the introduction of the phone, some ads were inserted. I remember the location was
Until then, if you want to get around this city, it’s best to have a city map.
In a big city like this, there should be maps to prevent people from getting lost."
"Like the ones over there?"
Iyas, who had good eyesight, found a navigation map not far away while looking around.
Leaning closer to take a look, Yang Yu and his team quickly locked onto a mobile phone store.
The seventh floor is extremely similar to the world where Yang Yu lived. Here, he has a unique advantage.
After arriving at the mobile phone store, Yang Yu went straight to the point and said that he wanted to buy a new phone. The mobile phone store clerk, who was wearing a big brother mobile phone, seemed to have been input some kind of instruction and his whole body gradually became solid.
Just like a real mobile phone store clerk, he tirelessly introduced the performance and parameters of various mobile phones to Yang Yu and others in order to sell them.
Yang Yu glanced at the counter, where mobile phones of different styles were lined up, like a strange suite from different time and space.
Without giving it much thought, he chose the smartphone of his time.
When Yang Yu took out the money to pay, he encountered his first trouble.
Although he couldn't see the clerk's expression, Yang Yu could hear his embarrassment from his words:
"We don't support payment with these things here. Fingerprint, pupil, or QR code payment are all OK. If you can't afford it, please pay with paper money."
These messy payment terms made Bai Jin and the others tilt their heads. This black-hearted shopkeeper actually wanted to pay with their eyes!
Yang Yu remained calm and told the clerk that they really had no money except the gold coins, and asked if the clerk could tell them how to exchange the gold coins for paper money, or if there was any way to get a mobile phone for free.
The clerk's enthusiasm did not fade, and he actually told Yang Yu and the others the solution:
“Our boss’ cat is lost. If you help him find his cat, he might be so happy that he’ll give you a smartphone for free.
Our boss also has a friend who specializes in dealing with things that others can't solve.
Although I don’t know why you have so much gold in your hands, if you want to deal with it, wash it and put it in your mobile phone, he can help you.”
Okay, now we have entered the regular RPG mode.
Before this world, Yang Yu was a stand-alone anchor who often made guides.
Now that everything has returned to the familiar mode, Yang Yu will naturally show his skills and demonstrate the qualities that a player should have.
Yang Yu accepted the task of finding the kitten without saying a word.
After confirming the cat's characteristics with the clerk, Yang Yu collected information with ease, and various conversations and ways to trigger the plot came easily.
Following Yang Yu, Iyas and the others often had the feeling of "Oh, so information can be obtained this way", "Huh? Is this the end?", "What did they talk about, what are those nouns, it felt like they didn't talk about anything, and yet they talked a lot".
When his companions asked about it, Yang Yu did not think it was troublesome and casually evaded the question by saying, "This is an underground maze anyway, you don't need to know so much." Instead, he was patient and took advantage of Lotkar's busy time to explain carefully to his companions.
Mastering the skills to pass various levels of the game, the extremely tedious task of finding the kitten only took Yang Yu two hours.
Bai Jin and the others couldn't believe that finding a cat was so difficult. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably give up halfway through finding a cat and go to a mobile phone store to steal a mobile phone.
At least they had that idea.
It was impossible for Yang Yu to directly snatch the mobile phone. He still remembered that in a certain game, he just killed an old hen at the entrance of the village, and was chased by villagers for three blocks and beaten to death.
The closer a game is to reality, the more it has its own set of operating rules. If players violate those rules, they will definitely pay a heavy price.
Yang Yu can't take too many risks.
After handing the kitten over to the clerk, Yang Yu and his team successfully met the owner of the mobile phone store and obtained the key mission item [smartphone]. After that, they came into contact with the big shots in the underground world.
Following the advice of the big shots in the underground world, Yang Yu converted almost all the gold coins he obtained from the Brave Laux's Labyrinth into money in his account, and installed several special apps and activated their memberships.
Using those apps, Yang Yu actually found clues about the two people, but it was difficult to take them away, so he had to give up temporarily.
With the smartphone in hand, Yang Yu and his team can check at any time what the female host said and what is on the screen, and pause to analyze it.
With a large number of apps that collect intelligence, Yang Yu is a little slow in processing the information.
Professional matters should be left to professionals.
Based on various clues, Yang Yu found the boss who provided data processing.
It was also in the data processing company that Yang Yu and his team found the first person they were looking for.
The person's head was not a face, but a router. He was a data processing employee, mainly responsible for mobile big data.
Yang Yu immediately realized that this person would be the key figure in searching for others.
After a brief conversation, the router man quickly agreed to Yang Yu and his friends' request and was willing to assist them. He also told Yang Yu and his friends about the latest facial recognition technology and introduced his old classmate, the camera man, to them.
With facial recognition technology, even if someone has a strange head, Yang Yu can still identify their identity through the machine.
Unfortunately, the camera man was indifferent to the appearance of Yang Yu and the others.
It is urgent to establish a good relationship with the big brother camera man of facial recognition.
With his excellent observation skills, Yang Yu discovered that the camera man using facial recognition technology was a tech geek. He immediately used his mobile phone account to give him a bunch of things to improve his favor. He successfully got the camera man to upgrade his phone and install the facial recognition function.
