In the northwest corner of the third floor of Seagral Square, after passing through many ducts and climbing many stairs, one would find a small door, its original color almost obscured by rust. There was a plastic sign on the doorknob that read "Under Repair". It was covered with a thick layer of dust, and even the words could not be seen clearly.
A tall, black-haired, handsome young man dressed in a robe nodded behind him. A little girl immediately walked up and held the door handle. With a creak, the door that had not been opened for many years was pulled open with great difficulty.
The dust did not lessen at all where it was touched, as if it had been glued on.
Seeing that the door had opened, the other girl also leaned over to take a look behind the door, her eyes filled with doubt. She and the pigtailed girl who opened the door looked like a pair of sisters. They were about the same age, and they both looked thin and weak. Their slender arms looked like they could break at any moment. Who knew how many days they had not eaten well?
However, when she took a step forward, a black leather rope swung down from her strangely small fist, and went all the way up into the black-haired youth's robe. The moment she moved, the black-haired young man stumbled and had no choice but to keep up.
Behind the door was a closed circular corridor. The tasteless wallpaper on the corridor was almost worn out. It was so quiet that it seemed to be isolated from the world. With every step he took, he could hear a small puff of dust being stirred up into the air. In the dim light, he could vaguely see a small door at the end of the path that looked almost the same as the one he had just taken.
"… If I go out from here, I will be able to reach the Encyclopedia forum?"
Lin Sanjiu had turned into a frail little girl. Even though she tried to speak in a hushed voice, she didn't sound as cold and stern as before, especially when she choked on the ashes and coughed a few times.
However, the black-haired youth, Honeysuckle, didn't dare to treat her lightly.
To put it bluntly, the [Mask] was just a camouflage. It could not really change the wearer's appearance. Even though Honeysuckle, who was less than 1.75 meters tall, looked tall and handsome now, even if he tried to stand on his tiptoes and stretch his arms, he wouldn't be able to touch him. He still couldn't touch the lamp hanging from the ceiling.
Similarly, Lin Sanjiu's skeletal wings were only temporarily out of sight. In reality, they were still hanging there, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws. If someone was unlucky enough to bump into them, they would still end up with a bloody head.
In order to avoid such a situation. Honeysuckle and Soulsqn had to stay close to her at all times to prevent anyone from getting close to her.
Honeysuckle was an experienced man who knew when to yield and when to stand tall. Ever since Lin Sanjiu grabbed his ankle and emptied his wallet, he swallowed his weak protest. After all, there was a huge gap between their combat abilities.
"Behind this door is the Mokugyo Encyclopedic Forum," Lin Sanjiu said. Honeysuckle's voice rang out eagerly, "… Don't be fooled by the dust. Actually, many people know about this road."
"Mm." Lin Sanjiu opened the door hesitantly.
Another world came crashing down on her as she moved.
The air became hot and turbid due to human breathing. The moment Lin Sanjiu took her first step, she was enveloped by the noise of the people around her. Lin Sanjiu could hear the bright white light in front of her eyes. Her gaze fell on the edge of the platform not far from her. She scanned through the rows of large screens. She froze for half a second before she realized that she was standing on a high platform.
"This is the staircase," Honeysuckle said as if he was afraid that she couldn't see him. "Mom, slow down. It's steep. "
If it weren't for her current appearance, Lin Sanjiu would have flipped him upside down.
The Mokugyo Encyclopedic Forum was much bigger than she had imagined. After she walked down the long staircase, Lin Sanjiu found herself standing in a hall that stretched as far as the eye could see. The ceiling was hidden in the darkness where the lights couldn't reach. On both sides of the hall, there were many small rooms that protruded out of the walls. They were arranged in an interesting manner. And in the middle of the hall …
It reminded her of the pictures of the Wall Street stock market that she often saw in her hometown.
There were hundreds of silver screens that were as tall as a person. They were arranged neatly in a few rows. Most of the screens were surrounded by a group of posthumans. In between the big screens, there were also a shocking number of small screens that were operated by a single person. At this moment, many of them were occupied. The light on the screen lit up hundreds of thousands of faces with different appearances.
Lin Sanjiu wandered around the hall. She felt that her eyes weren't enough.
"These large screens usually display the announcements from the Twelve Worlds Centrum," Honeysuckle pointed to the screen closest to her. Before anyone could see his hands that were bound by the black leather rope, he put them down. "For example, someone wants to exchange items, ask about the consular officer's situation, or challenge me to a duel … Just like the mission I accepted, I found it here."
Lin Sanjiu glanced at the screen. She caught half of the sentence above the sea of heads. "Looking for another consular officer to cooperate with. My consular officer ability has reached level 3 …"
The sentence disappeared after scrolling for a while. Filled with curiosity, Lin Sanjiu followed Honeysuckle to the deeper part of the hall.
"The information displayed on these large screens is also categorized. If you are interested in any information, you can go to the corresponding category," Honeysuckle explained briefly and led Lin Sanjiu to a small screen in the corner. Every single screen was in a square "box", providing a bit of privacy for the user.
"There are more of these than the large screens," Honeysuckle looked at the "box" and smiled. "You can search for information, publish information … You can do whatever you want. Occasionally, I will come here to add some information to earn some extra income."
Speaking of extra income, he couldn't help glancing at the small pouch in Lin Sanjiu's hand with a pained expression.
"Add information?" Lin Sanjiu's interest was piqued, "What kind of information can earn money?"
"The Twelve Worlds Centrum has a shared system," Honeysuckle said proudly, "It's an amazing system. Every time you come out of an apocalyptic world, you can input information about that world into this system. Depending on how valuable your information is, you can earn a corresponding amount of red crystals. Next time, if someone wants to know what their destination is, they can spend some money to see the information you input. "
"He's right. This is indeed an amazing invention." While Lin Sanjiu was filled with admiration, she suddenly understood where the siblings got their information on "Kisaragi Station". No matter how powerful Progressor Alliance was, they couldn't possibly know who all the posthumans who had been to Kisaragi Station were. However, with this system, With this system, it could effectively centralize all the information. No wonder the survival rate of the people in the Twelve Worlds Centrum was so high!
"Can you check for information about the Twelve Worlds Centrum?" Lin Sanjiu walked closer to the small screen and tapped a few times on it, feeling a little lost. "For example, if I want to know more about the Munitions Factory, can I search it directly?"
"Oh. Sure, but you need to spend some red crystals … Different information costs different things. " As he spoke, Honeysuckle took a handful of "red crystals that originally belonged to him" from Lin Sanjiu. He threw them into a small tray at the bottom of the screen as if he didn't have the heart to do so.
After the tray was placed into the machine, the small screen suddenly lit up. The small screen suddenly lit up as if it had come alive. The flowing light reminded Lin Sanjiu of the [Ability Polishing Agent].
"Here, choose here and input here …" Honeysuckle taught her the basic operation. After she learned how to operate the machine, she was escorted out of the box by Soulsqn to avoid arousing suspicion.
Lin Sanjiu glanced at their backs. Seeing that Soulsqn was still doing her job well, she shifted her gaze back to the screen.
On the top right corner of the screen, there was a bright red number that read "7". This was the number of medium crystals that she had inserted into the machine. In the middle of the screen, there was a table of contents that looked like pages from a book. She only stayed there for a few seconds before she disappeared on the other side of the screen. This seemed to be the sub-menu for the apocalyptic worlds. Lin Sanjiu glanced at it and a few new and strange names popped into her mind: [Coffee Bean World Forum], [Flare Blossom World Forum] …
She clicked on a random page and found two options: "Input" and "Check". Beside the "Check" option, there was a corresponding price. Some were priced at 11 medium crystals while others were priced at 23. It seemed that each world was different.
All of this was too amazing. Lin Sanjiu was in a daze for a long time before she slowly got used to everything in front of her.
After thinking for a while, she sorted out the three most important things at the moment.
Before she came to Mokugyo Encyclopedic Forum, Lin Sanjiu was always in a slightly anxious state. In every world, she had met and befriended many companions. Every minute that she spent with them was very comforting when she recalled it. However, it was precisely because of the time that she spent with them that she found the current situation even more unbearable.
She took a deep breath and quickly typed "Hyperthermal Hell" into the search box.
Even though she had robbed Honeysuckle quite a lot, after she bought two masks, she still had a lot of red crystals. Lin Sanjiu's red crystals were depleted once again. According to the situation that he had just introduced, in order to complete the three tasks that she wanted to do, she had to first input some information about the apocalyptic world and earn more red crystals for herself.
"[Hyperthermal Hell], Level D, Evaluation: A remote rural area. Do you want to confirm? "
Lin Sanjiu took a deep breath and tapped on the [Confirm] button.
Familiar images that she thought she would never see again appeared on the screen. (To be continued.)
