After a long wait, the electronic door behind Brother Jue finally opened again.
Outside the door stood a large figure. His whole body was covered in a tinfoil suit of armor. It had to be said that … the appearance was rather unsightly.
"I think … I should represent the Alliance in apologizing to you, Mr. Feng Bujue." Tinfoil Man stood outside the door and said to Brother Jue, "Enway's reaction was a bit too much. I hope he didn't make you unhappy."
"No, I'm more than happy." Feng Bujue glanced at the man calmly and said, "Oh, by the way, if you don't mind, please call me Poker Man."
"No problem, Poker Man," Tinfoil Man said.
Feng Bujue nodded slightly and walked toward the door. When he stopped before the man, he said, "You're Tinfoil Man, right?"
"Yes," Tinfoil Man replied. "You can call me Kratos."
"Okay, Kratos." Feng Bujue added, "Since you're here, it means that the discussion with the Supreme Council is over. So … how do you plan to deal with me? "
"Haha …" Tinfoil Man replied with a smile, "The Universal Superhero Alliance welcomes you to join us."
"Hmm, that's good," Feng Bujue said and walked out of the room.
At the corridor outside the door, other than Tinfoil Man, there were three other people standing there. They were Break Dancer, Step Stranger, and Professor Yongheng.
After Feng Bujue greeted the two aliens, Professor Yongheng took the initiative to say, "Hello, Poker Man, I don't think you know me yet." He paused. "Let me introduce myself. I am Professor Yongheng. I am also a hero from Earth." He extended his right hand from under the hood.
"Nice to meet you," Feng Bujue answered as they shook hands. "Nice to meet you." He smiled. "I was just looking for someone to ask … the difference between Earth here and my universe."
"Heh … I think we will have a lot of topics to talk about." Professor Yongheng also revealed an unfathomable smile.
"Well, you two, there will be plenty of time to chat in the future. Now …" Tin Foil Man interrupted, "Let's help Poker Man settle down and go through some necessary procedures first."
…
In the next hour, Feng Bujue went to collect a 'Hero ID Card' with the accompaniment of the four heroes. It was a card made from special technology. Not only could it identify DNA, it could even identify brain waves. The chance of it being stolen was close to zero. He registered the name 'Poker Man'. In the future, Brother Jue could use this ID card to move freely in the Alliance. (However, his card's authority was still very low, and there were many areas that he couldn't go to)
In the process of going through the procedures, Tin Foil Man and Professor Yongheng explained to Feng Bujue how to use the ID card and some basic knowledge related to the Yu Super Alliance. In addition, they also mentioned the matter of the 'Hero Level Test' … After a bunch of settings were explained, the two big brothers left.
About an hour later, all the chores were done. Feng Bujue followed Thunderdancer and Tap Stranger to the door of a room in the 'Hero Dormitory' Area Z. This would be his future residence.
"This is as far as we go," said the break-dancer.
Tap Stranger added, "Remember to keep in touch, Poker Man."
"Okay, thank you both," Feng Bujue replied.
The three exchanged a few more words and went their separate ways. Brother Jue used his hero ID card to open the door of Room Z250 and walked into his dormitory.
"Hmm … It's not as shabby as I thought …" Feng Bujue said after entering the room and looking at the environment in the room.
As mentioned previously, the size of the Yu Super Alliance's headquarters was close to that of an asteroid. Therefore, its functions were very rich. Heroes could resupply, train, receive treatment, and receive missions here. Some dangerous criminals (such as Dr. Doom) or items would also be temporarily detained here, waiting to be dealt with. In addition, the base also provided technical support, such as transportation, communication, reconnaissance equipment, and weapons.
In addition to the heroes, there were a large number of researchers and other staff here. The Yu Super Alliance was also responsible for the accommodation of these people. The place for the heroes to live was the Hero Dormitory.
As a living area, the space taken up by the dormitory was very limited. It was good enough to ensure that each person could have their own door. It was impossible to have two rooms and a living room. For example, Feng Bujue's Room Z250 had a total area of only forty square meters. Entering the door was the living room, and the only compartment was the bathroom.
Of course, even though it was small, it had everything. The basic amenities like bed, closet, air conditioner, fridge, microwave, water heater, and toilet (Depending on the race, the configuration would be different, but Feng Bujue was obviously staying in a room that was suitable for human habitation) were relatively complete.
"Ah, the cooldown for Wild Ball Punch has been refreshed again." Feng Bujue closed the door and fired another punch.
Since entering the scenario, this was the seventh time. He still had fifty-three punches to reach Level 2.
"In any case … let's observe the environment first." Feng Bujue walked forward and started to inspect the room.
The room's furnishings were very simple, and there was not much that could be investigated. Considering that he would have to use it in the future, Brother Jue naturally could not conduct a 'destructive' search like he would in a normal scenario. He could only carefully touch and knock here and there to make sure that there were no hidden mechanisms, secret passages, hidden cameras, listening devices, and the like.
In the end … he found nothing.
"Hmm … With Toad Hero's personality, it would be strange if he did not monitor me." Feng Bujue said, "And he should know that I would think that, so … his surveillance method must be very difficult to discover." He scratched his chin and mumbled, "Perhaps … he has used some method to install a mini surveillance device in my stomach …"
"Oh well, after all, once we find the safe house, his surveillance device will be useless." Feng Bujue had confidence in the system.
After searching the living room, the next place to go was the bathroom. Brother Jue pushed the door open and entered. Then, he was greeted with a happy scene …
Other than the basic amenities in the bathroom, there was an additional door. On the door, there was a circle, and inside the circle was the word 'shock'.
"Ha … My wish has come true." Brother Jue was overjoyed and walked toward it.
After he stepped into the safe house, the system announcement appeared in his ears. "Under normal circumstances, NPCs will not actively approach the space where the safe house is located. Please do not purposely lead the NPCs to the safe house, or else it will cause a chain reaction and increase the 'rejection' of the universe toward you."
"Oh? The 'rejection' of the universe toward me … "Feng Bujue repeated thoughtfully." Sounds like some kind of hidden value … "
His thoughts flashed, and so did his actions. Once Brother Jue entered the safe house, he walked toward the elevator.
To get a good rating in the 'Hero Level Test', he decided to leave the scenario and return when he was fully prepared.
"Warning, you are currently leaving the scenario. The next time you enter, you will incur a Game Coins fee. Are you sure you wish to do this?"
The moment he walked into the elevator, he heard this warning. Feng Bujue shrugged and reached out to press the 'Close Door' button.
The metallic door closed, and the elevator started to move. At the same time, the system said, "Please select the time when you will log into the world next time."
As he finished, another virtual menu popped up before Brother Jue's eyes. There were five options on it. "One, one minute later. Two, one hour later. Three, three hours later. Four, twelve hours later. Five, forty-eight hours later."
This setting could be found in the game manual and the introduction of the new mode. In other words, when the player left the free exploration mode, they could choose the time when they would enter the game next time. If they did not choose, or if they exited the scenario unnaturally, the system would default to 'forty-eight hours later'.
Feng Bujue thought about it and chose the third option. This way … no matter how long it took him to play the free exploration mode, even if it was a year later, only three hours would have passed in this universe.
"You have left the free exploration mode." Not long after that, the elevator stopped moving, and the system announced.
After a fleeting sense of distance, the screen before Brother Jue's eyes showed the end of the mission.
"Free exploration mode has ended. Calculating reward.
"Obtained EXP: 27760. Game Coins: 100
"Obtained Item: 'Poker Man' Hero ID Card
"Obtained Skill Points: 670
"Calculation complete. Please continue."
"Ha, that's quite simple …" Feng Bujue looked at the end of the mission and commented.
Indeed, compared to other modes, the end of free exploration mode was very short. There was no clear reward, no mission related reward, no terror rating, and not even a bonus from Skill Points.
Other than that … since this was the first time he had entered this mode, Feng Bujue's reward was quite small. Of course, this was also very fair. The difficulty was proportional to the reward … It was just following behind the two extraterrestrials and crushing a group of low-intelligence villains. To be able to get this much experience and skill points was already not bad. In fact, the 20,000 EXP and 600 Skill Points were mainly due to the poor Marshal … …
"Hmm … With my current ability, it is impossible for me to reach the star system rating." Feng Bujue thought as he walked toward the storage room. "Even if I am a star system hero, it will be hard …" He placed the hero ID card into the storage room. "The initial test is very important. If my level is too low, there will be a lot of obstacles in the future. Looks like it's best to train for a while more and wait until I am a star system hero before returning."
