First Player

Chapter 868: Eight hundred sixty six

  The world stands still.

   Su Mingan floated in the air, seeing everything was frozen. Whether it's the people on the ground, the flowing brook, the white lotus crying in the raging fire...all are still at this moment.

  There are options floating in front of my eyes: [Start the next chapter/End Dream Tour and return to reality? 】

  Looking at this line of words, Su Mingan suddenly understood—it turned out that he had been in a game-like environment. Just now, he completed the [Chapter 1: White Lotus Destroying the City] of the game. If he chooses "Start the next chapter", he will enter the next game plot, and he can see what happened to Louyue Congress after Bailian destroyed the city. And "end dream tour, return to reality" means that he will break away from this game and return to reality.

  But is everything so real, really just a game?

  Su Mingan chose [End Dream Tour and return to reality].

  In an instant, the angle of view slowly increased, and the surrounding scene gradually dimmed until it turned into nothingness. His five senses faded, and he seemed to be in a teleportation. This feeling is somewhat similar to space teleportation.

   Soon, his five senses gradually recovered.

  【This dream tour has been completed. 】

  【Tenth World’s personal information is as follows:

  Name: Su Mingan

  Age: 19 years old

  Expected life expectancy: 20 years old

  Cause of Death: Not yet arranged

  Dream Patrol points: 150 points

  Chapter Completed: Chapter 1 White Lotus Destroys the City

   Grades: Grade 5 Elementary

   Number of seal characters mastered: 3/39453

  Personality: F]

  …

   Open your eyes, it is a strange ceiling.

   What you see is a long LED tube light. It seems that the so-called "reality" is a modern background.

  Su Mingan was leaning on the bed, facing a computer, beside the bed was a small mushroom-shaped desk lamp, a black and white stereo and a radio, with a simple style, this should be a personal bedroom.

   He temporarily left the game. So, what would his modern identity be?

  At this moment, he suddenly noticed an orange strip and a black strip slowly appearing in the upper left corner.

  【Current san value: 80 points】

  【Different Erosion Degree: 0%】

  …

  The orange bar is the san value bar, and the black bar is the degree of heterogeneous erosion. Both values ​​are safe for now.

  He sat up from the bed and found that he was wearing a helmet-like thing on his head. He took off the helmet, and saw a line of small characters marked on it: [Dream Patrol Instrument].

  ...Did the original owner use this helmet device to enter the game?

  He pressed the helmet on his head again, and options appeared in front of his eyes:

  【Do you enter Dream Tour? The current dream tour world: Lou Yueguo. Current dream patrol role: the great prince Su Shaoqing. (Since you have completed the first chapter: Bailian Destroys the City. This Dream Tour will start from the second chapter: Penglai Xianxuan)]

   "No." Su Mingan said. Now he needs to figure out what the dream patrol does and what the modern background is, so he can't go to Lou Yueguo for the time being.

   After he said no, the options in front of him disappeared.

  Su Mingan took off the helmet, looked it over and over again, and found that there was an interface on the back of the helmet, and a CD was placed inside.

  The CD is a bit like the cartoon CD he watched when he was a child. It depicts the scenery of Louyue Kingdom in a cartoon style - a young man with long white hair stands quietly under a peach blossom tree, his white robe sweeps the floor, with a blue crescent moon behind him, creating a mysterious and deep atmosphere. Although the painting style is more cartoonish, Su Mingan can recognize that this painting should be the national teacher Li Mingyue.

  There is a line of small characters engraved in the lower right corner of the disc: [Game Name: Lou Yueguo].

   "Game disc?" Su Mingan murmured, and inserted the disc back.

  He stood up and looked around. This room is not big, and the layout is a bit old. The radio is old-fashioned, and there is a cassette in foreign language inside. There are some math problems and psychology books spread out on the table, the pages of which are curled and yellowed, as well as some exercise books with a sense of age and green 2B pencils. There are many bumps and discoloration on the corners of the orange table. It seems that his family background is not good, and he doesn't know what his modern identity is.

  Su Mingan looked at himself in the mirror, and it was still his own face, with black hair and black pupils.

  He started the computer on the desk, and there were only four softwares on it.

  【My Computer】【Recycle Bin】【Music】【Chat Software】.

  There is no information about the first three software. Su Mingan clicked on [Chat Software], which is a chat software similar to QQ, and there are only five friends in it.

  【Xia Jiawen (Note: University Counselor)】

  【Lin Yunting (Remarks: Head of the Psychological Counseling Center)】

  【Month (Remark: Godfather)】

  【Please call me Lord Demon King (Remarks: Dream Watcher Su Luoluo)】

  【? (Remarks: I don’t know when I added as a friend, I forgot who it was)]

  …

  Since all the chat records have been cleared, there is no information except for the notes given to them by the original body.

   "Ding Dong!"

  【It is detected that you have returned to reality, and the world channel chat is open. 】

  In an instant, in the lower left corner of Su Mingan's field of vision, players' chats burst out.

  …

  【Nelson (Raiders Association): Everyone! I figured it out! The modern world we live in now is called "the old world"! Through a helmet device, we can perform dream patrol, that is, enter the game world to earn dream patrol spirit points. This dream patrol spirit point can bring back reality, strengthen oneself, and learn talismans! 】

  【Buck (unaffiliated): Is the modern power system also a talisman? 】

  【Vito (joint group): Yes. The power system is the same. The talisman seals you learned in the dream tour can also be used in modern times. Modern people also learn talismans. 】

  【Dang En (Wisdom Tree Guild): Let me ask you a question. I was learning talismans in Lou Yue Kingdom. Suddenly, the royal city caught fire, and there was a woman in a white dress in the sky. I just wanted to go to Wangcheng to have a look, but the next second I was teleported to modern times. The helmet reminded me that "this dream tour has ended". I'm sitting in the room with my helmet in my hands, in a daze, what happened? 】

  【Gibran (New World Guild): Don't play the world game with King Crimson. Didn't the system prompt say - "Chapter 1: White Lotus Destroying the City" is over? It seems that some of us got through this "Chapter 1: Bailian Destroying the City", so the game plot is temporarily finished, and we are all kicked out of the game. 】

  【Twain (Wisdom Tree Guild): Thank you for your answer, what should I do if I want to play the second chapter? 】

  【Gibran (New World Guild): I think that if we want to enter the second chapter, we have to wait for the person who has cleared the first chapter, and wait for him to confirm the opening of the second chapter, just like the host of the server opens a room. But that person should be the same as us, and chose to return to reality first, so the second chapter has not yet started. 】

  【Liu Qingqing (Yangtze River System): Damn, how did that person get through "Chapter 1 Bailian Destroys the City"? I'm still confused on the streets of Beijing and don't know what to do, so someone has cleared the customs? 】

  【Angus (Stud Alliance): So, there should be big players? 】

  【Joan (Peace Dove Mutual Aid Association): I saw that on the ranking list, there is a person called "Sacrificing ten years of life to let me meet Su Mingan". Su Mingan is not in our parallel copy, right? 】

  【Webers (unaffiliated): Don't think about it. There were people who called "Sacrifice a hundred years of life to meet Su Ming'an" before, but they didn't meet each other. I also swear that I will never talk to a girl in my life, let me meet Su Mingan. 】

  【Foneng (Peace Dove Mutual Aid Association): We have Eli and Agnes on the leaderboard. Eli is the killer of the Black Card Guild and the top 1,000 big players on the leaderboard. With him here, we shouldn't be wiped out. 】

  【Su Style (United Regiment): ...I feel inferior to Su Mingan. 】

  【York (Lighthouse Guild): Light Gate. 】

  【Boris (Future Teaching): Lamp Gate. 】

  【Qiaoqiu (Remote Control Legion): Shumen. 】

  【Lam (Moore Manor): Sure enough, any chat channel will become a compliment to Su Mingan in the end. 】

  【Chen Jiangping (no affiliation): Clearing the level with the first player is part of the plan. 】

  …

  Su Mingan pondered for a moment.

  His main task is to help a man named "Su Luoluo" fulfill his wish. The task of those in power is to "kill fate". The most important thing now—first, find Su Luoluo. Second, figure out the world situation.

  He watched the players chatting for a while and obtained a lot of important information.

  The modern world is called "the old world", and people rely on talismans to resist "abnormalities" and "different species". At the same time, you also need to be careful to prevent yourself from violating the [instant death rule] and dying. This is the same situation as Lou Yueguo.

  However, "abnormal" and "heterogeneous" are not the most dangerous. The most dangerous thing is—during the natural disaster fourteen years ago, when the fog struck, human beings suddenly lost 80% of their land. These lost lands were shrouded in black fog and were called "the land of darkness". The vegetation inside has been eroded away, and the concentration of air pollution is extremely high, making it impossible to survive.

   Due to the loss of 80% of the land, humans have entered a state of war. They formed an alliance between nations, established joint organizations and armies, and their main purpose was to recover these lands shrouded in mist. It's like a tug-of-war, if human beings don't try their best to recover the land, as the fog gradually expands, even the last living space of human beings will be lost.

   And the way to regain these lands is the Dream Tour.

  Dream Tour is to let people enter the game. Whenever people promote the main plot in the game, part of the fog in reality will dissipate, and human beings can regain part of the lost ground.

  As for why the dream tour can dispel the fog-because this is what the "gods" said.

  There are "gods" in this world. He has been protecting people since long ago. When humans lost 80% of their land, his oracle came to the world, telling people that only the "Dream Tour" can recover the land.

  However, dream tour is extremely dangerous. When people break down in dream tour, they will also collapse and die immediately after returning to reality. Therefore, human beings are divided into two groups—"dream patrollers" who are willing to participate in dream tours. And people who are unwilling to participate in the dream tour and are afraid of death.

  Dream patrollers risk their lives in the dream patrol to advance the game plot, so that the fog in reality can be dispelled simultaneously. Allow the army to immediately restore lost ground and build homes.

  People who are not willing to participate in the dream patrol live their own little days, waiting for the land to be taken back, watching this cruel tug-of-war between humans and the fog, and watching the dream patrols die due to mental breakdown.

  —After seeing this information, Su Mingan felt an extremely strong sense of déjà vu.

  What is this, why is it so like...

   He clenched his fist.

  —Adventurers and casual gamers?

  Adventure Players desperately advance the plot in the game, risking death and collapse to earn points. Casual players, on the other hand, go about their lives, waiting for the Human Points bar to fill up.

   This déjà vu surprised him.

  He glanced at the helmet he had placed on the bed.

  It seems that his identity in modern times should be a "dream watcher". And his behavior of completing [Chapter 1: White Lotus Destroying the City] should partly dispel the fog of the modern dark land.

  —Is the information contained in the tenth world the essence of the world game?

  His pace seems to be getting deeper and deeper, and the more he walks, the more dangerous he is.

  …

  Old World, Old Government, United Council.

  The huge conference hall was silent.

  There are more than 300 people sitting under the stage. They are politicians, entrepreneurs, experts and scholars, senior managers, church clergy, elite dream watchers, military officers and generals from various countries and independent cities.

  The "pata" lights were turned on, and a middle-aged lady in a blue dress stepped onto the high platform, her high-heeled shoes making a crisp sound.

  In the center of the high platform is the olive branch flag representing the joint meeting. Steady lights sprinkled on the fair face of the lady in blue, bringing everyone's attention here.

  Her expression is solemn and majestic.

   "Everyone. This week, I want to talk about the history of these fourteen years."

   "Before losing 80% of the land, human consumption of resources is actually quite low."

  She speaks, there are no redundant introductions and opening remarks, the opening is the main topic of the meeting.

  This lady is called Eyefurt, one of the leaders of mankind, and the speaker of the United Conference. The identity and position are similar to that of Aland, the core district speaker of the ruined world.

"Fourteen years ago, the biggest problem for mankind was the excessive consumption of electricity, oil, nuclear energy, etc. For this rich land, the total population of 13 billion does not make us feel crowded. "

“At that time, our biggest problem was environmental pollution and ecological damage—crude oil leaking from oil tankers and oil wells, pesticides and fertilizers in farmland, acidic solutions flowing out of mines, and harmful substances such as carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide released from power plants. It’s all affecting us. People get respiratory problems from it every day.”

   Listening to her words, someone lowered their heads.

   “However, at the time we thought that one day, as long as the technology develops fast enough, we will be able to solve these problems.”

"However, the coming of the black fog caused us to suddenly lose 80% of our land. That year, people who did not have time to evacuate lost their lives in the black fog. People were forced to disperse to archipelagos, polar regions, tropical rainforests, etc. Survival zone, maximizing the use of the remaining 20% ​​of our living space."

   "Even if the population drops sharply, for only 20% of the living space left, our survival pressure is still too heavy."

  When she said this, she paused slightly.

"but."

   "Fortunately, we have 'gods'."
