When Ruo Yu and An Yueqin walked into the conference room, Feng Bujue had been waiting at the table for some time.
"Hi, you two are up early today." Brother Jue waved his hand and greeted them.
"Going to bed early is good for the skin," An Yueqin replied.
"And going offline early is good for the quality of sleep," Ruo Yu added.
"Okay …" Feng Bujue shrugged and did not continue the topic.
Two seconds later, Ruo Yu added, "By the way, Xiao Ling asked me to tell you something … She and Xiao Tan probably won't be online tonight, so we don't have to wait for them."
"Oh? Is that so? " Feng Bujue's expression shifted slightly, and he raised his brow with a smile. "Xiao Tan didn't even say hello to me … Looks like … something bad is going to happen …"
"The actual situation is obviously different from what you think." Ruo Yu looked at Brother Jue's evil expression and said coldly, "… But I'm too lazy to explain it to you." She changed the topic. "In any case, let's discuss the characters' data and prepare to depart."
…
"Feng Bujue, Level 48
[Like Rain, Level 46]
"Flower on the Rock, Level 39
"Please select the game mode that your team wishes to join.
"You have selected Team Survival Mode (Normal), please confirm.
"Confirmed. The number of team members has been randomized: Five.
"Your team has joined the queue. Searching for other readied players or teams.
"Matching complete. Coordinating nerve connection. Generating scenario …"
The system notifications appeared before his eyes. When the word 'generate' appeared, Feng Bujue's eyes shone with white light, and his body turned into data and was transported out.
"Welcome to …"
Something strange happened at that moment …
For some reason, the classic opening line was cut off, and it was replaced by a strange and noisy noise.
"What's going on?" Feng Bujue asked. "Is this some kind of scare tactic?"
"Download complete." Immediately after, another system notification sounded.
There were only five words. There was no description of the mode, no reward, and no introduction of the scenario.
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Bujue regained his ability to move.
"Wow … That's something new." Feng Bujue observed his surroundings as he read. "I can understand the lack of a scenario introduction. It is to limit the amount of information that the players are given at the start of the game. But … he didn't even write down the reward for clearing the level. What is he trying to do … "
At that moment, Brother Jue was alone on a piece of flat land. The scorching sun was high up in the sky, and it looked like it was noon.
As far as the eye could see, no matter which direction he looked, the scenery was similar. Between the clouds in the distance, there were continuous mountains, but it was impossible to tell how far those mountains were from him.
"Hmm … From the looks of it, there won't be any danger for the time being …" Feng Bujue looked around and opened the game menu, ready to see who the two random teammates were.
If he did not look, he would not have known, but once he did, he was stunned.
"Hey, hey … What is going on?" Brother Jue could not help but ask.
His shock did not come from the ID in the team tab. He was shocked because … the team tab had turned into a shadow, and he could not see anything.
"This is not right …" Feng Bujue's expression turned serious. "The introduction is not clear, the mission is not clear, and the reward is not clear. Even the status of my teammates is not clear …"
"There are many things that you do not understand."
Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind Brother Jue and took over his words.
"Hmm?" Brother Jue was startled and turned his head toward the voice.
He did not ask questions like 'Who is this?' because he knew very well that this was not a normal person.
About ten seconds ago, Feng Bujue had just scanned his surroundings. There was not even a dog, much less a person …
In this flat land, there was no cover, and under the scorching sun, there was nowhere to hide. Now that a voice suddenly came from so close, there must be something wrong with the person who came … Preliminary judgment was that this person either knew how to hide, teleport, or fly into the sky and burrow into the ground, or use the Transfiguration Technique.
"Oh, it's you." The moment he turned around and saw the "person", Feng Bujue's expression suddenly relaxed, as if all the doubts that had troubled him had disappeared at this moment.
At this moment, standing behind Feng Bujue was a beautiful woman dressed in ancient clothing. Her beauty was flawless. Whether it was her face or her posture, it gave people a feeling of perfection that was close to "unreal". She was like a beauty in a painting, untouchable.
"What? You can recognize me without using the 'data view'? "Lute saw that Brother Jue recognized him at a glance and immediately showed a suspicious expression.
"I have seen this posture of yours once, do you remember?" Feng Bujue replied with a smile.
"But at the time, I am different from now," Lute replied.
"Yes, you have more clothes," Feng Bujue added. "You have changed your hairstyle …" He shrugged. "Can we get to the point?"
"This is a sandbox." Lute was indeed an Anomaly. She was so jumpy when it came to the point. "I built it at the last minute." She paused and raised her finger to point in a direction. "Let's talk as we walk. That will save us some time."
"Okay." Feng Bujue nodded and followed.
"Not long after your last visit to the inner world, something big happened here," Lute said as they walked. "After this period of time, the influence of 'that thing' has been expanding, and it has reached the point where we have to deal with it urgently."
"So …" Feng Bujue asked in a questioning tone, "You pulled me into this sandbox?"
"Yes." Lute nodded. "I have been trying to contact you, but it is very difficult. Finally … I found a chance … "She explained." The sandbox that we are in now is not very stable in terms of structure. You should have noticed that there is not even a 'system prompt'. "
"You copied it before the 'scenario generation' was completed, right?" Feng Bujue asked.
"No, my method is more complicated than that," Lute replied. "I will not explain the technical details to you. You only need to know that this sandbox will not exist for too long … Other than that, we do not need to stay here for too long." She turned to look at Brother Jue. "You can see this place as a tunnel."
"Tunnel?" Feng Bujue repeated and then asked, "From where … to where?"
"From the data layer of the scenario, it leads to a special location in the inner world." At this point, Lute's eyes shifted. "To be exact … it leads to Pi Maze."
