That afternoon, Ruo Yu finished her lunch and went out to handle some matters. Feng Bujue was alone at home and had nothing to do, so he went back to the gaming hub.
After entering the log-in lobby, Brother Jue looked at his friend list and realized that Xiao Tan and the rest were offline. After giving it some thought, he walked into the storage room and took out the Poker Man Hero ID Card that had been sealed away for a long time before returning to the elevator.
Brother Jue was now level fifty, seven levels higher than when he entered the free exploration mode. Therefore, he felt like it was about time to join the Super Yu Alliance's Hero Level Test.
"Feng Bujue, Level 50
"Please select the game mode that you wish to join.
"You have selected the free exploration mode.
"Every time you enter this mode, 20,000 Game Coins will be consumed. Please confirm."
After a few quick and familiar tweaks, Brother Jue selected the game mode and clicked the confirm option.
"Confirmed …"
"Found a multiverse that is currently being explored. Would you like to connect?"
If the player chose 'no' here, the touch screen would pop up with a 'Would you like to randomize a new multiverse' dialog. However, Brother Jue did not plan to switch universes.
"Downloading, please wait a moment."
"Welcome to Thriller Paradise." When the system voice said that, the elevator started to move.
"Download complete. You are currently in the free exploration mode.
"This mode does not have a quest system, time limit, and AFK effect.
"You can travel between the log-in lobby and the scenario world through the Safe House. Every time you enter this mode, 20000 Game Coins will be consumed.
"The scenario has started."
When the elevator door opened, the first thing that entered Brother Jue's eyes was a rather small bathroom. Walking out from the bathroom, Brother Jue came to his room codenamed Z250.
Different from the first time, the system no longer required Brother Jue to leave the Safe House within five minutes.
"Hmm … How long did I choose when I left last time …" Sitting down in the room, Feng Bujue began to recall some details of the last time he was here. "Oh, right … Three hours." He touched his chin and said, "In other words … in the eyes of the people in this universe, I have been in the room for three universe cycles (the universal unit of time in this universe is about one hour). In terms of 'adjusting one's condition', this amount of time should be enough, right? "
When he exited this scenario for the first time, he had already considered … the need to pretend that he had 'rested for some time', so he had chosen a roundtrip time. The other four options were one minute, one hour, twelve hours, and forty-eight hours respectively.
"Then … let me take a look." Then, Feng Bujue used the computer in the room to check where he wanted to go. "Hmm … It's quite close, I can walk there (this asteroid has a very robust, free transportation system)."
After confirming his destination, he walked out of the room and headed toward the Universal Superhero Alliance's' testing area '.
The last time he was there, the Tinfoil Paper Man and Professor Yongheng had personally led Brother Jue through the various procedures and explained many basic information about the Universal Superhero Alliance to him. With Brother Jue's learning ability, naturally, he had memorized all the information. Heroes who were registered with the Universal Superhero Alliance had to undergo the 'Hero Level Test' within forty universe cycles after registering their 'Hero ID', or else their registered ID would be revoked.
Of course, there were exceptions like 'too powerful to be tested' or 'mental or physical injuries that had not healed' … They could submit a written statement to the Alliance to postpone or cancel the test.
…
To make a long story short, about twenty minutes later, Feng Bujue arrived at his destination.
Usually, there was no need to line up for the Hero Level Test, so after Brother Jue chatted with a blue-skinned alien at the service desk in front of the testing area, the other party motioned for him to go in.
The entrance to the testing area was very interesting. There were a total of ten entrances, seven of which were arranged in a staircase from small to large. This was obviously for aliens of different sizes to pass through. The other three entrances … were the same size, but each door was covered with a layer of force field of different colors. These three entrances were for 'incorporeal creatures', 'creatures that can't stop moving', and 'super-adaptive creatures' to pass through.
Feng Bujue entered the third door, which was about four meters high and three meters wide. It should be classified as' small to medium sized creatures'.
After passing through a metal passage hundreds of meters long, Brother Jue saw a large device in front of him that looked like an airport security checkpoint. Next to the device stood a guy with brown skin and a face that looked like a fat fish.
"Hello." When Brother Jue walked in, the fish head took the initiative to greet him.
"Hello," Feng Bujue responded.
"Please put your ID card here." The fish head pointed at a card slot next to the detection device.
Feng Bujue did as he was told and then passed through the checkpoint under the guidance of the fish head.
As he passed through the checkpoint, all the items on his body appeared on the display next to the device. (The backpack was a dimensional pocket, so the items in the backpack couldn't be scanned) Next to each item, a short comment automatically popped up next to each item. For example, [Magazine], which was annotated as' ammunition for firearms in the sub-technological era '; [Bell's Daily Knife], which was annotated as' cold weapon with transcendental causality '.
"Okay, the certification is complete. You can go in." The fish head didn't show any surprise at Brother Jue's items. "The test will be carried out batch by batch. The staff inside will guide you through it. After all the items are tested, you can wait for another half a universe week. After that, you can go to the card collection area to get your card and leave." He paused for a moment. "By then, your ID card will have been upgraded to the version of your level."
"Understood." Feng Bujue nodded and continued to move forward.
After walking for another two hundred meters and turning a corner, Brother Jue's eyes widened, and he saw a very large space before him.
This place was like a super-large gymnasium. There were many strange large testing machines and fitness equipment inside. At this moment, there were many aliens with different appearances being tested inside. There were also many staff members.
After arriving here, Feng Bujue deeply felt that … at least in this parallel universe, humans were only a 'minority'. He looked around and there were very few people who looked like 'humans' in the gymnasium.
"Hero's name?"
When Brother Jue was still looking around, a tall staff member made of a sphere and a column walked up to him and asked directly.
"Erm …" Feng Bujue looked at him and replied, "Poker Man."
"Oh …" The staff member looked at him and glanced down at the tablet in his hand. "Earthling, is it? Okay, follow me."
