Zhang Heng didn't know if the new Sturdy Backpack had anything to do with the little boy at the end of the quest.
Since he hadn't thought about what kind of compensation he could get from the little boy, the little boy gave him a rare storage item, which was probably a piece of cake for the little boy.
Zhang Heng had speculated about the boy's identity, and according to the old and new gods, the latter was clearly a new god, and his abilities were closer to the God of Games. However, the boy didn't answer his question, nor did he respond to his probing.
When Zhang Heng went back, he tore apart the PS4 Pro that he received as a prize. He also bought a new one online to compare. There was almost no difference between the two. The only difference was that the PS4 Pro that the gaming committee gave him had an extra game.
— The Endless Journey
Zhang Heng did a baidu search and found many games with this name on the internet. However, most of them were crude and dated a long time ago. On the contrary, he opened the Endless Journey game on the console and found that the graphics were quite sophisticated. It should have been created with the latest generation engine, and they were willing to spend money on the cinematics. It was basically at the level of Death Stranding.
However, it didn't have the game company's signature, and it was hard to believe that such a heavyweight triple-A masterpiece had not been promoted at all. It was as if the producers had never considered publishing it.
Zhang Heng didn't skip the opening cinematics. Unlike the breathtaking graphics, the plot of Endless Journey was fairly standard, and it basically followed the traditional RPG plot of a hero slaying a dragon to save the world.
However, perhaps taking into consideration the target group this time, the theme was changed to a Xianxia setting that was more acceptable to Eastern players. The opening cinematics was about the birth of demons, wreaking havoc on the human world, causing the people in the mortal world to suffer. After that, the camera shifted to the protagonist, a disciple of the Immortal Palace who was ordered by his master to go down the mountain to train.
After that, Zhang Heng found that he could control the character, talk to NPCs, accept quests, kill monsters, and level up.
It just so happened that he had to wait for the appraisal results of the four items from this quest. Since he had nothing to do before that, he decided to stay in the dormitory and play Endless Journey.
The result was different from what Zhang Heng imagined. The game wasn't as difficult as he imagined it to be, and no matter how he looked at it, it was no different from an ordinary game. The experience and rewards from killing monsters were generous, and the gameplay was a bit like Diablo 3.
However, the game's duration was much longer than Diablo 3. Zhang Heng had played for two days, and with double the amount of time he had, he had accumulated more than 40 hours of gaming time. He had gotten himself a decent set of equipment, but he still hadn't reached the end of the game. It was indeed worthy of its name, Endless Journey.
Although the plot was a little mediocre, the excellent graphics and smooth and refreshing combat ensured the game's quality. For most people, this was a very good game. However, as a player, Zhang Heng had personally experienced all kinds of quests, and any one of them was incomparable to a console game. So, he wasn't too impressed with the game.
Two days later, the bartender lady sent him a message saying that the four game items had been appraised. He then put Endless Journey aside and drove to the bar to pick up his new equipment.
The first item Zhang Heng received from the bartender was the strange wire.
[Name: Pet Wire]
[Grade: D]
[Function: What can it do? It depends on its mood. Basically, you need to raise your Pet Wire like a pet. Feed it iron regularly, take it out for a walk, and even … play music for it? Although no one knows if this will work, as your affinity and tacit understanding continue to improve, you can communicate with it and ask it to do all kinds of things for you. PS: Don't underestimate this wire. It can do far more than you can imagine.]
After reading the introduction of the Pet Iron Wire, Zhang Heng was stunned. Compared to the other items he had, this iron wire was far from being powerful. However, it was definitely the most magical item. As an iron wire, it was actually a small lifeform, and it had to be raised like a pet.
When Loki held it in his hand, it looked extraordinarily lively, completely ignoring the fact that it was just a piece of wire. However, the description of its function was rather vague. All he knew now was that it could be used to unlock locks like Loki. As for its other functions, he would have to train it for a while.
Zhang Heng held the Pet Wire in his hand, and he could feel that it was not in a very good mood. Its head was drooping, and it looked as if it didn't care about anyone. Zhang Heng guessed that it had stayed in the tule tree's wooden box for too long, and it was a little bored. So, he asked the bartender, "Do you have any iron that you don't want?"
The bartender thought for a while and took out an iron bucket with ice cubes. "This is for you."
Zhang Heng took the iron bucket, not knowing how to feed the Pet Wire in his hand. So, he threw the wire into the bucket and looked at the next item.
[Name: Explorer's Light]
[Grade: C]
[Function: A kerosene lamp that will never go out, the best equipment that explorers dream of. Not only can it provide you with light, whether you are on land or underwater, but it also helps you control the surrounding temperature. By adjusting the Explorer's Light's brightness, you can adjust the ambient temperature within the light's range.]
This was the kerosene lamp that Zhang Heng found in Sock's cabin. Compared to the somewhat inexplicable Pet Wire, its function and positioning were very clear. Just like its description, this lamp was specially made for explorers.
The inextinguishable characteristic was not too bad. Nowadays, many flashlights could get close to this effect. The real power was the temperature adjustment function. In other words, even if you only wore a singlet and shorts, you could try to climb Mount Everest with this flashlight. You could totally do it as long as the flashlight was there.
However, there were pros and cons. Since it would never go out, the lamp could only be dimmed by the knob on the base, but it could not be turned off completely. In other words, the person carrying it would be very eye-catching. However, Zhang Heng's newly acquired Sturdy Backpack came in handy at this time. When not in use, he could put the lamp in the Sturdy Backpack. Naturally, he could block it from spreading light and attracting unnecessary trouble.
