Chapter 26: virtual reality

Exit 1332.

The list of players who entered the game turned gray one after another in just one day, and many people were almost numb to the end. In this second round of the game where everyone was a villain, only two players were left.

The green light above the station gate flashed, indicating that it was about to open. The news about the end of the "Horror Castle Night" dungeon spread like wildfire throughout the city. If it weren't for the fact that Exit 1332 was located close to the city center, low-level players would not dare to set foot on this land occupied by the guild, and there would probably be more people coming.

Pairs of inquiring eyes were all focused on the figure who was walking out, as if trying to see through everything.

Away from the care of the light, the first person to appear was a woman with a graceful figure. A Ling was still a little weak. She was seriously injured in the copy and could not recover 100% immediately after coming out.

Even though I already knew there were a lot of players outside, the feeling of being surrounded by major guilds and many players was not that good.

Before leaving the gate, A Ling looked around. The system determined that the bride's camp had won, so Pei Wenwei must have won. Why was there no sign of the other party

In the dazzling light, Wen Shi had to close his eyes tightly.

He stayed in an independent space for too long and even began to suspect that there was a game bug and he was stranded.

“1, 2, 3… 69…” After counting silently to seventy seconds, the familiar mechanical sound finally appeared, with an unprecedented coldness and a hint of excitement.

—"Player 460872, please note that the [Delete File No. 82] you received previously is a special rare task and will continue to be retained."

—"Player 460872, please note that you have triggered the special 3S-level copy pre-copy [Big Factory]."

— "Player 460872, please note that this instance is an A-level group battle instance. Please be prepared to enter this instance within a week."

After the last sentence was broadcast, the white light covering Wen Shi completely dissipated, and Wen Shi finally appeared at the exit.

He was still wearing the same clothes he had worn in the previous instance. The white coat that he had discarded on the first night to lure monsters was strangely back on him. The coat was covered in bloodstains and his glasses were pinned to his collar.

When Wen Shi didn't speak, his light-colored thin lips were tightly pursed, and his pair of natural peach blossom eyes were naturally charming, making him look unique, like a perverted doctor from a horror movie.

He didn't know where this was, but this world was too crowded. Looking up, he saw countless figures standing outside the gate, many of them dressed strangely, such as a tall and strong man carrying an axe, a girl with colorful hair, and a middle-aged man with tattoos on his face whose gender could not be identified... The common feature of them was that they were all looking at him.

Further back stood dozens of storeys high buildings. Wen Shi could vaguely see a Ferris wheel in operation. The heavy leaden clouds in the sky seemed to be ten thousand meters thick, piled up together, as if they would collapse the buildings at any time.

His expression remained unchanged and he kept walking forward.

This attitude made the people who were observing Wen Shi feel a little confused. Almost every player would feel a little lost when they were a new player, especially after entering the virtual world. The joy of surviving a disaster would be intertwined into a hesitation that could not be concealed at all.

But there was no sign of confusion at all on this newcomer.

Others may have concerns, but the people from the second largest guild do not. The burly man with the giant axe was ready to speak frankly, but just as he was about to take action, he was stopped by a look from the deputy gang leader.

This stop made him miss the opportunity to walk up to Wen Shi. A member of the Seventh Commandment guild came up to Wen Shi first and said, "Hello."

Wen Shi didn't reply to him.

The people from the ten major guilds were used to being high and mighty, and had never been treated like this before. The visitor frowned unexpectedly.

Wen Shi suddenly asked: "If the number turns gray, does it mean that he is dead?"

He accurately found the copy of "Horror Castle Night" on the huge projection screen. Currently, it was the only one marked in red, with a status bar behind it: "Ended".

The visitor nodded: "Yes."

Wen Shi seemed to be thinking about something.

Only two numbers were lit up, one was mine, and the other was undoubtedly A Ling.

Zhao Sanjie died at the hands of Xie Tangyan, and the other two players who chose the Earl camp died because of the failure of their camp. Wen Shi immediately thought of the upcoming group battle dungeon. Where there is a group battle, there is a camp. According to this trend, once the camp loses, everyone in the camp will die.

A Ling was seriously injured and had already retreated.

Wen Shi had little knowledge of this world, and he began to wonder where to go next.

"Little brother, how about I take you for a walk?" The members of the Seventh Commandment guild extended the invitation again.

Wen Shi finally looked him in the eye. A newcomer who came out alive from the endgame would arouse some curiosity, but not to the point of being so entangled. If they were simply curious about the contents of the dungeon, it would be the same if they stopped A Ling to ask.

Wen Shi asked: "What do you want?"

They had never expected him to be so direct. For the clue of the 3S copy, the guild members of the Seventh Commandment lowered their voices and said in a gentle tone as possible: "I want to ask you about something in the game."

Wen Shi thought for a few seconds, then said thoughtfully, "I'm afraid the copy I just released is not what you are interested in."

When these words came out, the members of the Seventh Commandment were stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "You..."

Seeing his reaction and the greed on the faces of the people around him, Wen Shi knew that he was right. He didn't know what happened, but these people must have known that he had the clue to the special 3S-level copy.

"Please make way." Wen Shi was not going to respond to this and walked straight past the members of the Seventh Commandment.

His threats were interrupted by an even more disrespectful laugh, and a man wearing glasses stepped out: "Why are you so angry? I don't think your guild has much dignity."

Seeing the person coming over, the expressions of the members of the Seventh Commandment changed again and again, and finally they said nothing.

He was thin and had an ordinary face, but his aura was the most powerful person Wen Shi had ever seen. When he was examining the man with glasses, the other party handed him a communicator: "There is my contact information in it, contact me later."

The communicator in the game store is priced at one hundred points.

One has to say that this man has a very good sense of propriety. Looking at the man who was scolded earlier but dared not speak out, Wen Shi could judge that the man with glasses had a very high status.

After giving the things to the man with glasses, he left with the strong man with the giant axe.

Before leaving, the strong man looked around. The First Commandment had only sent one member, who was standing on the periphery and did not seem to have any intention of intervening. If the only organization that could suppress their guild did not show up, no one would dare to openly approach the newcomers after them.

Wen Shi successfully left the square and received a game prompt sound.

"Reminder: In the virtual world, killing or maiming is strictly prohibited. Once you are found to have done so, you will be immediately killed before you can act."

This rule is basically the same as the rules in the dungeon. It is a restrictive clause for big guys, but for Wen Shi, it is great.

Wen Shi went into a nearby hotel.

The buildings here can be bought and sold, and the top hotels in the city are almost all contracted by the top three guilds.

You need points to stay in the hotel. The moment Wen Shi entered, everyone who was dining on the first floor looked at him. The hotel manager personally found him and said, "The deputy gang leader has said that all your food, clothing and other expenses here are free."

Wen Shi: "Deputy gang leader?"

"It's the person who gave you the contact information earlier."

Wen Shi has always been a person who would eat a free lunch first and then consider the cost, so he did not refuse this good intention.

The manager took him to the guest room. When he entered the elevator, Wen Shi was curious: "Do you need to enter the dungeon?"

"Of course." The manager laughed: "I am also a player. There are a total of ten managers in the hotel who take turns."

The guest room was of the standard of a presidential suite and was very clean. The manager did not disturb him and just took him to the door and left.

Wen Shi pulled a chair over and sat down. He opened the panel and found a copy of the "Virtual World Guide" automatically issued by the system in his backpack. He flipped through it and found that the maps in it were the most useful. The "Virtual World Guide" mentioned that it could be exchanged for a pass to the real world in the game mall. It only required 100 points each time, and each trip could not exceed 24 hours.

He hasn't redeemed it yet. There must be players in the real world investigating his identity, and he might be caught when he goes out.

The zombies' loyalty increased by a full five points.

Loyalty: 10

You gave him a harp and he was very happy.]

He just asked the zombies to help take the copy out. When did he ever promise to give it away

Isn't this a robber

It was impossible to reason with the robbers, so Wen Shi could only swallow his loss and console himself that the zombies were his generals and that the harp was still in his hands. What he was most interested in now was the column "My Homeland".

"Reminder: The home is currently not open."

"Tip: Home is a warm harbor. Please find a suitable plot of land as soon as possible to build your home. The home can be located in the virtual world or in a replica.

"Tip: Spend 300 points to enjoy the beginner's guide to home building. Spend 5,000 points to buy a doorkeeper!"

Wen Shi: "Thanks for the invitation, but I won't buy it."

The prompt tone stopped abruptly.

Finally, his ears were quiet. Wen Shi curled his lips and said, "Do you think I'm stupid?"

The home is currently at lv.1, and later upgrades will inevitably require points. A novice guide costs three hundred points, so wouldn't it be a waste of money to upgrade it, not to mention the need for land.

Besides, it would be too conspicuous if it was built in the virtual world. Maybe when he came back from the next instance, his homeland would be invaded. There were many powerful players, and it would not be enough to rely on just one retainer. What if the game was damaged further and the retainer also needed to be upgraded

Wen Shi had thought it all out. When he inherited the position of dean, he would build his home in Frank Hospital and get a piece of land for free. There would be a group of lunatics in the ward, and he would get a group of servants for free. Everything could be upgraded, and the dungeons were divided into levels. Maybe the hospital could also be upgraded. When the hospital was upgraded, the home built inside could get a free upgrade.

With this combination of punches, it couldn’t be more cost-effective.

“I feel like I’m going to be successful in starting a business.”

Sooner or later, he will become a man who can handle both career and family.
