Zhang Heng learned about the game background of this quest from the bald man.
As expected of Lego's usual style, the introduction of the main mission was simple and straightforward, and it was easy for all ages to understand. In short, in three days, an evil scientist would open a space-time portal on the tallest building in the city center, Canton Tower, and summon a destructive monster. The players from the other world (the chosen ones) had to stop the monster from destroying the city.
According to Mei Nan, there would be many messy side quests in between, but they were all for the sake of completing the final main quest.
However, Zhang Heng also noticed one thing. In previous quests, he could use his skills and items freely. This time, however, they were sealed, including his physical fitness. After turning into the Lego version, his strength, agility, and speed were very different from their normal state. Zhang Heng initially speculated that all players who entered the quest would have their bodies standardized to minimize the advantages and disadvantages brought about by physical differences.
This meant that there was only one thing that mattered most in this quest.
"Build. You must use your building skills to save the world," said the bald man with a serious look. The bald man said with a serious expression. Then he made a demonstration. He dismantled a sofa leg and combined it with the TV and the nail clippers in his pocket to create a Gatling gun.
He then demonstrated how to make grenades with towels, soap boxes, and key rings.
Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows. "Can these things really be used?"
"Of course." The bald man nodded and placed the grenade in Zhang Heng's hand. "Be careful, don't pull the safety. In our world, anything you can make can be used normally. Of course, the premise is that you have to grasp the essence of things. Only a few people can do this. For these people, we generally call them master builders." After that, he coughed twice. "And I happen to be a master builder. If you must worship me as a teacher and learn building knowledge, I can consider it."
"Thank you, but I don't think I have any needs in this area for the time being," Zhang Heng said as he opened the door and gestured for the bald man to leave.
The reserved smile on the bald man's face froze. "Are you confident in your building skills?"
"No."
"Did other powerful master builders find you in advance?"
"No."
"So … how do you and your companions plan to save the world?"
"Never thought about it."
"Huh?" A question mark appeared on the bald man's head.
"Good night." Seeing that the bald man had unknowingly walked out the door, Zhang Heng was about to close the door.
He already had a preliminary understanding of this dungeon. As Mei Nan said, the main quest of this dungeon seemed to be quite difficult, and the process was complicated. However, there was not much point in leveling up at the end. This so-called construction skill, if he guessed correctly, should correspond to the Lego assembly skill.
In terms of practicality, it was far inferior to the skills he had learned in the previous few quests. Zhang Heng wasn't too interested in it. If he had the time, he might as well spend it in this world.
In fact, that was exactly what Zhang Heng did for the next two days. He visited the Changlong Safari Park, took a night cruise to the Pearl River, and tasted Cantonese morning tea. Although the pastries were Lego-shaped, they tasted surprisingly good. On the afternoon of the third day, Mei Nan came to the hotel to look for him.
"Is your visit over?"
"Yes." Mei Nan took out a bottle of iced mineral water from the fridge in the room, took two sips, and pointed in the direction of Canton Tower in the distance. About an hour ago, a beam of light appeared there, reaching straight to the dome. At the end of the beam of light was a huge air vortex.
Many passersby nearby were attracted by this peculiar scene. They took out their mobile phones to take pictures and videos, not knowing that they were about to be in big trouble. In addition, there were also reporters who rushed over to report on the scene. However, they couldn't enter the interior of Canton Tower because there was a group of armed men in black clothes at the entrance.
"The space portal has been opened. In ten minutes, the monster will appear. It's almost time for us to leave."
Zhang Heng nodded and put down the half-eaten rice noodle roll in his hand. "If you want to come back again, I can accompany you."
"I probably … won't come back again." Mei Nan shook her head.
"Why?"
"The key to opening the dungeon is a game item in my hand."
"Part 300501?" Zhang Heng remembered the dungeon prompt when he entered the game.
"Yes, but I'm not the only one who has a game item that can open the game. As far as I know, there are a total of 24 game items that can open the game. When you open the game for the first time, the system will choose your favorite place as the game venue. For me, this is the place. For others, it might be somewhere else. We will play the game separately. You can play alone or in a team. The mission is similar, but there can only be one winner in the end. Once someone passes the game, the game item in the others' hands will become invalid. So, this is actually a competition.
"I've tried to clear the dungeon, but as I said, the difficulty of this game is very high, and victory or defeat largely depends on your LEGO assembly skill. But … well, how should I put it? This skill is useless for most players, and very few players are willing to use their precious time to practice assembling LEGO. I've been training for a month, but I'm only level 0 now. Of course, there is another way. You can train in a dungeon with a different flow of time compared to the real world. After all, three days here is equivalent to nine minutes in the real world."
"But?"
"Although players can theoretically repeat the game, there is indeed a limit. After ten times, the game item in your hand will become invalid. So, even if the last attempt is counted, players can only use 30 days in the dungeon, and 30 days is far from enough to train your skill to the point where you can clear the game. Including this time, I've used this game item four times. The bad news is that I just received a report that a team has just recruited a LEGO expert, and they are very close to clearing the final dungeon. So, I don't think I can use the rest of the game item."
Zhang Heng frowned. "You want to clear the game so that you can use the rest of the game item to come back and visit your parents and family. What about others? Why are they willing to waste their energy on a skill that is basically useless?"
Mei Nan raised her eyebrows. "Because there are rumors that this scenario hides a Grade-B game item."
