Fantasy Game: Infinite City

Han Zu's warehouse.

Around ten o'clock in the evening, Han Zu was sitting on the sofa, smoking and daydreaming. Garcia was sitting next to him, using his laptop to check the information of other players he had met in the previous copy, especially the player named Zhulong.

"He looks like a seed player from a big guild. He should be one of the players participating in the guild tournament. Xinghai Guild... is pretty powerful. It's a well-known guild with a high ranking."

Garcia was waiting for Han Zu's reply, but after waiting for a long time, he heard no sound except the sound of puffing smoke. He turned his head and saw that Han Zu had returned to his familiar state.

His eyes were lifeless and he seemed to be in a daze. Apart from the smoking action that was performed by muscle memory, the rest of his body basically remained still.

Garcia put the laptop aside, reached out and took the cigarette from Han Zu's hand, and replaced it with shrimp chips. However, Han Zu did not notice that the cigarette had been replaced, and the hand holding the shrimp chips continued to repeat the smoking action.

"Puff... cough cough... ha..."

Garcia, who was holding a cigarette, couldn't help laughing. He was choked by the smoke, drank a sip of water to suppress the choke, took a puff of the cigarette, and was about to tease Han Zu again when Han Zu suddenly "extinguished" the shrimp strips in his hand in the ashtray, then stood up, lay on the game cabin next to him, and then landed in the Infinite City.

Han Zu's state is that he is thinking about something. When he is in this state, he basically has no reaction to any influence from the outside world. Unless he is seriously attacked, he will return to normal from this state.

Since there was no way to communicate with him for the time being, in order to find out what he was doing, Garcia picked up the computer and logged into the mobile terminal of Infinite City with Han Zu's account and password. Through the changes in the background data, Garcia found that Han Zu's data had some changes.

"Level: 60"

"Main attribute: Constitution: 300"

"Secondary Attribute: Strength: 202"

"???: 25%"

"???: Conversion level: 2"

After seeing the changes in the data, Garcia thought for a while and then remembered that in the previous dungeons, including the one where Han Zu almost killed himself, although there were many problems, he still gained a lot of experience points and free attribute points. Not only Han Zu, but she also just remembered it.

"The first unknown item should be the gift of the dead realm, and the second unknown item is the strange black shadow. Although Infinite Company does not know what these two things are, from the fact that they can display them, at least they know that there is something abnormal in Han Zu. I have to tell Han Zu this."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a sound from the game cabin behind him. Han Zu exited the Infinite City. Garcia immediately put down the computer and lay down on the sofa.

"What are you doing? Why are you acting like a thief? Just watch whatever you want to watch!"

"In addition to the Death Realm Hound, I will also be affected by you. Every time your Death Realm Gift changes, including changes in your own power, it will affect me, so I have to prepare in advance...! Here it comes!"

Han Zu, who had returned to normal, looked over the back of the sofa and saw Garcia, who was lying on the sofa like a mummy. His body began to heat up rapidly, and bright lines began to appear under his skin more and more obviously, as if he was about to explode from the inside. As steam began to emerge from Garcia's body, Han Zu hurriedly picked Garcia up. At this moment, Garcia's body was as hot as lava. As the light became more and more dazzling, Han Zu began to use his ability to absorb the black shadows to absorb the excess energy overflowing from Garcia's body. As the light on Garcia's body became brighter and brighter, he even turned into a luminous body. Han Zu had to increase the intensity of absorbing energy.

"No...no need! I...can do it...by myself!"

As Garcia spoke intermittently in a special state, Han Zu slowed down the speed of absorbing energy, but he was still prepared at any time. If the energy reached a dangerous value that Garcia could not bear, Han Zu would absorb it at full power. Although he did not know what the consequences would be, at least Garcia's life could be saved.

However, things did not develop in a bad direction. Soon, Garcia's abnormal condition began to subside and gradually returned to normal. Her body temperature also slowly returned to normal. However, the steam and the large amount of sweat on Garcia's body soaked her like a drowned rat.

As the abnormality disappeared, Garcia entered a brief period of weakness. Han Zu carried her to the bathroom, put some hot water in the bathtub, took off Garcia's clothes and put her in.

"Cold, I want cold water."

"Row."

After refilling the tub with cold water, Garcia's frown finally relaxed. Just as she was about to make a few jokes, she suddenly felt that her throat was particularly uncomfortable.

“Cough, cough… cough!”

"call!"

After a dry cough, Garcia suddenly exhaled a large amount of something similar to cigarette smoke, but the color was darker, a very light gray. After just two breaths, the entire bathroom was instantly filled with this substance. This gas seemed to be unable to let in much light. Garcia found that he could no longer see Han Zu who was so close to him. Only Han Zu's right hand, which was resting on the edge of the bathtub, was still in Garcia's sight.

"Clang."

With the sound of an object falling to the ground, Han Zu's hand on the edge of the bathtub suddenly slipped down. Garcia wanted to reach out and grab Han Zu's arm, but it was too late. Garcia hurried out of the bathtub. She used one hand to clear away the smoke and used the other hand to grope Han Zu's body on the floor.

Han Zu was very close to her. Because of the light gray object, Garcia had to lie on him to see his face clearly. It would have been fine if she didn't look, but when she did, she found that Han Zu was lying stiffly on the floor with dull eyes, as if he had been poisoned.

"Hey! Han Zu! What's wrong with you? Hey!"

Garcia knocked on Han Zu's face, but Han Zu still didn't respond. Not knowing what was going on, Garcia used all the first aid methods he knew, including artificial respiration and CPR, but after all the operations, they didn't work.

Garcia immediately ran out of the bathroom and went to the storage room to look for something. After a while, she returned to Han Zu with a small generator and an electric wire. She bit off the protective layer of the wire and stuffed it into Han Zu's mouth. Just as Garcia was about to start the generator, Han Zu's hand suddenly pressed Garcia's arm.

"Forehead....!"

"Fuck! Great, you're okay..."

"Wait a minute..."

Garcia didn't know what Han Zu was going to do. He watched Han Zu take a deep breath and inhale all the light gray gas in the bathroom. Then black blood vessels suddenly appeared under the skin near his eyes. After a few seconds, Han Zu suddenly exhaled a beautiful smoke ring.

"Wow! That's awesome!"

"Are you okay? What happened just now?!"

"I don't know the details, but the light gray gas you created should contain some powerful... maybe it should be called toxin? I sensed the element of the Gift of Death in it, so this thing should not cause any harm to us and the hounds."

"But what happened when you fell down just now?"

"It's hard to describe. It's a bit like... being drunk on cigarettes? It might be caused by the high concentration, but it doesn't matter. It seems that you have gained new abilities this time, which is a good thing."

Finally, there was no danger. Garcia put on his bathrobe, Han Zu stood up from the floor, put the generator and wires back into the storage room, changed his clothes and returned to the sofa.

After calming down for a while, the two returned to normal and continued their respective activities, but Han Zu felt that his eyes were a little dry, but he didn't care too much. He rubbed his eyes and picked up the tablet to find a movie to watch.

"Strange, why do you do that?"

"what happened?"

"It's okay, I'll go wash my face."

After saying this casually, Han Zu rubbed his eyes and walked into the bathroom to wash his face.
