Feng Bujue took a long time to calm down and come up with a logical explanation for what had happened. He believed that the man by the name of Woody was not a normal game manager, and his level was much higher than Pan Feng and Hwa Xiong, who he had met earlier.
Since he could add fake buttons and whatnot to the log-in space of the players as he pleased, it was very likely that the image he turned into when he walked into the mirror wall when he left was also very likely to be intentional.
The identity that he had revealed, the strange words that he had said, the questions that he had asked, and so on, did not make any sense. Unless there was some kind of supernatural power in this world, he was just trying to be mysterious.
Assuming that what he had seen earlier was not an illusion, the appearance of fear … perhaps it meant that his condition had improved, and he had started to feel fear. That … should be good news.
In any case, that was the only logical explanation that Feng Bujue could come up with. As for the illogical explanation, Woody's words were the illogical explanation.
After coming to this' logical 'conclusion, Feng Bujue stopped thinking about it. After all, other than pranking him, the senior game manager did not warn him about the dangers of playing the game when he had' lost his fear '. Therefore, Feng Bujue felt even more confident.
He temporarily tossed this incident to the back of his mind so that it would not affect his mood for the open beta.
He moved his gaze back to the control panel next to the elevator door. There was nothing suspicious about the remaining four buttons; they should be normal buttons.
The 'storage room' was undoubtedly the metal room where he could collect the reward and equipment. Feng Bujue had not collected the reward from the previous scenario, so he could get it now. However, he was careful because the market had been opened, and the Game Coins would come in handy. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to choose the reward. He planned to go to the other places to observe the requirements before deciding which one to collect.
Feng Bujue first clicked on the Conference Room button, and when he pressed it, he got the system announcement.
"Your Conference Room has been created. You can invite your friends, teammates, and non-blacklisted players into the room for communication. The maximum number of people is ten.
"When you are inside the meeting room, market, or Thriller Box, you can use the new text chat function in the game menu to communicate with your friends."
After the reminder ended, the elevator door opened. Outside the door was a metal room larger than the storage room. It was very spacious and brightly lit. There was a long table in the middle of the conference room. Around the table were ten black office chairs with rollers and backs.
The surface of the long table was silver. It looked like a neat and smooth flat surface, but upon closer inspection, one could see that there were ten circular flat surfaces of slightly different colors near the edge of the table.
After Feng Bujue stepped into the conference room, the elevator door behind him closed automatically. He hesitated for a moment because this was not the case when he walked into the storage room. Looking back, there was also a switch next to the door of the conference room. It seemed to be used to exit the room.
"Before the conference table, you can open a specific menu to browse the items in your inventory and storage room. You don't need to take the items out to display their attributes on the table."
He came to the table and read the notification. Then, he took out Mario's Wrench to test its effects. The 3D projection of the item appeared on the table, and it slowly spun on its own. The item description was displayed on the conference table menu before him. If there were other people sitting at the table, they would be able to read it from the menu.
"So, this is how it works … Other than for team members to communicate, equip, and trade items, it can also be used to host a private auction or something." Feng Bujue mumbled to himself.
The main purpose of the conference table was to allow one person to show off their equipment to a group of people. This was because in the game, if one wanted others to view an item that already belonged to them, they would have to hand it over to them. During the closed beta, they could only hand it over unconditionally, but during the open beta, the party who handed over the item could choose to 'gift', 'trade', or 'display' depending on the situation. Of course, this choice was just a subconscious one. The player only needed to send a signal to the system, and it would be done. There was no need to spend more than one minute to hand over an item.
Feng Bujue moved away from the table, and the item display stopped. He pressed the button next to the elevator door, and the door reopened. When he returned to the log-in lobby, it closed again.
Then, he reached out and pressed the 'Shop' button. The system voice said, "Connecting you to the shop, please wait a moment … This section number is 17."
"The shop is a large public area. To prevent space congestion, it uses a section system. You can set the default section number in the log-in lobby. If you do not set it, the system will immediately assign you to a section that is relatively empty. Each section can accommodate up to five thousand players. If the section is full, you will need to line up to enter. "
After hearing the notification, the elevator door opened. The scene outside the door gave people the impression that it was an expanded version of the New York Stock Exchange, but this space was much bigger.
In the middle of the shopping mall, there was a metal tower in the shape of a round tower. In all directions, from two to eight meters high, there were display screens filled with real-time data. The "information tower" was also surrounded by the most people. The scene was quite similar to the Hong Kong stock market in the 1990s.
After Feng Bujue walked out of the elevator, the elevator door behind him closed after a few seconds. Then, it opened again quickly, and another player walked out. He turned around and saw that there was a row of about a hundred elevator doors on this side of the building. They opened and closed continuously, and every minute, there were players entering and leaving.
These doors were just hubs that blocked and reconnected spaces. Every time they opened and closed, they would lead to a different place. When it was time to leave, Feng Bujue would return to his log-in lobby no matter which door he entered.
Of course, there were also people who tried to enter the same door side by side. Unfortunately, it did not work. One of them would inevitably be blocked by an invisible wall. It was the same for the conference room. If a player accepted an invitation to enter someone else's conference room, they would have to enter through their log-in lobby's elevator door. After entering, the door would close. In other words, ten people would have to enter or leave one by one.
Feng Bujue walked toward the center of the shop. He looked around and realized that the roof was very high. It was so high that it was difficult to estimate the distance between the roof and the ground. The four walls of the building were curved. Overall, the space looked like an inverted bowl.
There were four paths around the Information Tower in the middle. They were separated by four fan-shaped objects at ninety-degree angles. The four objects also had multiple screens with information scrolling on them. This central area was the focus of the shop — the Auction House.
In the outer area, there were many shops that were arranged like shops. These were all system-operated shops. There were many customers, but the items sold by the system were fixed. Even if there was a change, it would be done after a season. Players would usually leave after browsing or buying what they needed. Therefore, there were not as many players there as there were at the Information Tower.
There were quite a number of players in this region. It was bustling with activity as they shuttled back and forth. Feng Bujue planned to visit the official shop first. Suddenly, someone shouted at him, "Eh? It's you! "
