Fangzheng carefully investigated the two new functions of the system. He found that both functions were very.... well, how should he put it, very strange.
After the Dimensional Codex system was rebooted and repaired, a strange black window appeared in front of Fangzheng's information interface. This was one of the new functions of the system rebooted – the Die of Destiny.
[Die of Destiny: The destinies of this world vary greatly. Every choice you make may bring about unexpected consequences. In the fog of destiny, you will never know what you will find. (Every time you enter a new world, a mission will be randomly generated. Whether you complete the mission or not, you will obtain a random time-limited buff or debuff.)]
On the surface, this function was enough to make people feel strange. If the random mission was normal, then the following effect was the problem. According to the literal meaning, the mission triggered by the Die of Destiny would obtain a time-limited buff or debuff regardless of whether Fangzheng completed it or not.
But here was the problem. At first glance, there seemed to be no problem, but Fangzheng soon noticed that the condition was [Random Acquisition]. This meant that if he did not complete the mission, he might obtain a buff, but if he completed the mission, he might also obtain a debuff.... This meant that the mission was not a mission that he had to complete. It was a mission that Fangzheng had to consider on his own whether or not he wanted to complete it. He had to admit that this thing looked like a scam no matter how he looked at it.
As for the reason for the appearance of this function …
Fangzheng silently glanced at the Flame of Chaos.
Hmm, it's definitely this thing's fault. This messy and illogical thing was obviously a symbol of Chaos.
The other function was [Soul Contract]. Compared to the [Die of Destiny], the effect of [Soul Contract] was very clear. Fangzheng could transform people from other worlds into existences in the form of Soul Stones by consuming a certain amount of points. At first glance, this seemed to conflict with the [Dimensional Channel], but it was not the case. The [Dimensional Channel] teleported people from other worlds to this world, but after the time limit was over, they would still return to their original world.
However, the [Soul Contract] allowed him to transcend his original world and become a resident of Fangzheng World.
To Fangzheng, [Soul Contract] didn't seem to be of much use at the moment, but who knew what would happen in the future? Perhaps in some other world, Fangzheng could find an existence that could be used to make a contract.
Now … it was time to leave.
Fangzheng reached out and placed his hand on the Dimensional Codex. Soon, a circle of burning flames appeared from the Dimensional Codex and spun to form a flaming door. Ever since Fangzheng used his Soulfire as the system's energy source, its form seemed to be closer to Fangzheng's.
He wondered what the next world would be like.
Gazing at the blazing portal before him, Fangzheng took in a deep breath and strode in.
The next moment, Fangzheng felt as if he had stepped on some kind of ignition device. The moment he stepped through the door, his whole body trembled violently and he fell down. It felt as if someone had tied a boulder weighing hundreds of kilograms to Fangzheng's feet and thrown him off a cliff.
Apart from the darkness in front of him and the howling wind, Fangzheng couldn't see or hear a thing. But soon, lines of light appeared in front of him. Not long after, a dazzling radiance suddenly appeared and enveloped Fangzheng's whole body.
"Boom!!"
Fangzheng landed heavily on the ground, stirring up the dust around him.
"Cough, cough, cough, this damned thing … Can't it be more reliable?"
Fangzheng stood up and waved his hand to disperse the dust in front of him while complaining. Come to think of it, compared to the previous few transmigrations, the two transmigrations after the system changed its power source did not seem to be pleasant … Forget it, let's not worry about these trivial matters for now. Although he was directly thrown down from a height of several hundred meters, at least he would not die. Let's see what kind of world this is.
At that moment, the dust around him had dispersed, and what Fangzheng saw was a street that exuded a modern urban vibe.
Well, the background of this world should be in the modern era. Then …
Fangzheng turned his head and looked around.
Where is everyone?
Fangzheng was currently at a crossroads. Beside him were department stores and all kinds of shops. From the sky, it should be daytime here, but strangely, there was not a single person in sight. Although the traffic lights were operating normally, there was nothing else here.
No one, no cars, no police. He made such a loud noise, but no one came out to check on the situation.
"What … What's going on in this world?"
Looking at the empty world in front of him, Fangzheng was dumbfounded.
Was it the end of the world? Or the Apostles' invasion? Or was it Jue Jue?
In any case, I'll just investigate it first.
With this thought in mind, Fangzheng immediately launched an investigation around him. It didn't take long for Fangzheng to have a preliminary understanding of the situation in this world.
Judging from the sign of the city, it seemed to be a Japanese city, but for some reason, there were no words on the signs or things like that. In addition, the situation here was also very strange. Although there were all kinds of buildings on the outside, when Fangzheng walked in, he found that these buildings were empty inside. There were no interior decorations or furniture at all. They looked like unfinished houses.
In other words, this was a "city with an empty shell". From the outside, it looked like an ordinary city, but there was nothing inside.
What kind of world is this?
Fangzheng walked around for a long time but did not find any clues. Instead, he had more and more doubts. Just by looking at it, he could tell that there was something wrong with this world. Although Fangzheng had also considered whether this was part of a city simulation in some plan, the amount of work involved was too much. To completely build a city, this was not something that could be explained by having too much money to burn, not to mention the fact that there were no decorations inside these buildings. They were all empty.
There was no one here, and there was no sound. The whole world looked like it was dead.
Was there such a world?
If Fangzheng remembered correctly, the worlds he had always transmigrated to were worlds like games or animated movies. Whether these worlds were good or bad, at least they had a story. And a story naturally had a protagonist, because only with a protagonist could a story continue. A world without a protagonist was called a landscape film, but this place … didn't seem suitable for a landscape film.
Not only that, what made Fangzheng feel a little strange was the world itself. Although everything looked normal on the outside, Fangzheng vaguely felt that there was a sense of isolation in this world, as if it was sealed off by a barrier that isolated karma. But compared to Feng Jue, this kind of atmosphere was not as strong in this world, and there seemed to be some obvious differences between the two sides.
"What the hell is this place?"
Fangzheng walked in the city for a day until sunset, but he did not see a single person. This made Fangzheng very depressed. Seeing that it was already dark and he had nowhere to go, Fangzheng found a chair in a nearby park and lay down to rest.
"It's really quiet here. Is this a horror movie? It's so creepy."
Looking at the silent park illuminated by the lights in front of him, Fangzheng yawned.
Although he did not know what kind of world this was, it seemed that there was no one here at present. If there was no other way … .he might as well burn this world down.
