Zhang Heng was ready to be ripped off, but he didn't expect the bartender to act differently this time. "Since you've tasted my masterpiece, I'll give you a reminder. If you're thinking of using a tule box to store items in the game, I advise you to give up on that idea."
"Huh?"
"Didn't I tell you last time? Only game items can be freely circulated between the game and reality. To ensure fairness in the game, you can't bring things back to reality, and you can't bring things from the real world into the game. So, the tule tree box can only help you store game items in the real world. As for the other side, you'll have to figure it out yourself."
"Isn't the tule tree box a game item?"
The bartender shook her head. "Game items are very rare. Even the lowest F-grade game item can play a similar role as the tule tree box. It all depends on your luck. Or, you can wait until the year-end auction. There will be a lot of good stuff there. Of course, you can't be empty."
…
Zhang Heng couldn't find a suitable place to store game items, and for the time being, he didn't have a good idea. This kind of thing couldn't be rushed. Fortunately, according to the bartender, most game items took effect on contact. As long as he was careful and wore gloves, he could increase his safety.
If he stayed any longer, he might end up drinking something strange. So, Zhang Heng left the bar.
He picked an empty booth and sat down. Sure enough, he found a small alarm clock under the seat.
Even though he had been cheated by the extra 24 hours he had to survive on the deserted island, he had to admit that he had gained quite a lot as well. Compared to other players, the game time that was extended by 12 times had given him more opportunities to explore.
Considering the serious consequences of the game over, he would still need to rely on this ability in the future.
He just hoped that this time, it wouldn't be a no man's land.
Setting the time at 23: 55, Zhang Heng closed his eyes and rested in his seat.
About half an hour later, a wave of dizziness hit his head again. It was as if he was swallowed by a nightmare. He didn't even have the strength to move a finger.
At the same time, a familiar voice rang in his ears again.
[Player identity verification in progress …]
[Verification passed. Randomly selecting the second dungeon for player 07958 …]
[Extraction complete — Current dungeon is Tokyo Drift.]
"Tokyo — an international metropolis with a population of 37 million. It is the well-deserved center of Japan's politics, economy, and culture. During the day, it is a vanity fair for financiers and politicians, but the truly wonderful stories quietly unfold at night … As an exchange student from China, can you leave your own legend here?"
Mission objective: Win the championship of an underground modified car competition.
[Mode: Single]
[Time flow rate: 360] (1 hour in the real world is equivalent to 15 days in the game. The player will be forced to return to the real world after 60 days.)
Friendly reminder: The game will officially start in five seconds, please be prepared.
…
He opened his eyes and found himself standing in the middle of a crossroad.
Perhaps his prayers had been heard. Contrary to the desolate scene of the island in the first round of the game, he was now completely surrounded by colorful neon signs and billboards.
Countless pedestrians walked past him, speaking in a language that he had only heard in movies and games. The ringtone of a mobile phone sounded from afar, and it sounded like Mika Nakajima's "Maid Is Dead". Among the crowd were teenagers on skateboards, hot girls in miniskirts, middle-aged men in suits waving at taxis with briefcases, and many Westerners. Although it was night time, it was even livelier than during the day.
Tsk tsk, this was indeed the world's largest metropolis.
After confirming that there was no danger in the current environment, Zhang Heng first checked his personal panel.
Name: Zhang Heng
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Player ID: 07958
Rounds played: 1
Current game points: 24
Items on hand: Lucky rabbit's foot (e)
Skills mastered: Piano Lvl 1, Language Proficiency Lvl 1 (Proficient in two languages for daily communication), Archery Lvl 2, Wilderness Survival Lvl 2
Evaluation: The player has slightly higher luck than the average person, but other than that, there is not much commendable about him. He has a certain level of wilderness survival and archery skills. He is not expected to survive the first five rounds of the game.
Although Zhang Heng had been practicing rock climbing and photography for the past month, it seemed that neither of these skills had broken through Lvl 0. Hence, they were not displayed in the list of skills.
Other than that, the biggest change was the addition of an inventory. At the same time, due to the influence of the lucky rabbit's foot, his evaluation had also changed a little. Finally, he was no longer as mediocre as before. However, it seemed that he would not survive more than five episodes of the game.
After confirming his status, Zhang Heng shifted his gaze to his surroundings. He was now in a bustling place, directly opposite a shopping mall. A large advertising screen was scrolling the advertisement for Sony headphones. Other than that, there were shops and signboards all around. The buildings and people were quite dense.
This place … kind of looked like Shibuya.
When Zhang Heng was very young, he had come to Tokyo with his mother to attend an academic conference. However, his memory of that time was very vague. Since the conference was very long, he spent most of the week in the hotel room. Only on the last day did he go shopping with his mother in Shibuya. Before he left, he bought a PSP. Hence, he had a slight impression of this place.
Of course, it was a good thing to be able to draw a game in a civilized society. However, the current situation was a little tricky.
The main problem was that Zhang Heng did not understand Japanese at all. Although there were many Chinese characters in Japanese, and he could roughly guess the meaning of some of the signboards around him, it was impossible for him to complete the mission at this level. Besides … they could not just leave him here, could they?
Since the background indicated that he was an exchange student, it meant that at least he would not have to worry about accommodation. However, the name of the school was not mentioned. There were dozens of universities in Tokyo, including national, public, and private. If he were to ask each and every one of them, he would die.
At a time like this, it was better to check what he had on him first.
Zhang Heng began to dig into his pocket. At that moment, a girl in a short skirt ran towards him, holding two ice cream cones in her hands. "Zhang-san, you are here! That's great! I was scared to death. I thought I lost you on your first day here. "
The girl seemed to be relieved to see him. However, at that moment, the green light across the road flashed.
"Ah, no, we are running out of time. Let's go."
