Fantasy Game: Infinite City

“Sizzle…Sizzle…”

Two days later.

After carefully recording all the necessary information, Han Zu entered a running guild competition copy through his game cabin that had been renovated by the company. According to the information provided by the data center, they locked in a team that used cheating methods. Han Zu came this time mainly to cover for other staff members who also came to the copy. If they can't restore the data to normal by normal means, then Han Zu will need to "manually process" those "abnormal data."

In order to prevent Han Zu's identity as the last insurance from being exposed, the company made some "technical" changes to the game cabin used by Han Zu. After these changes, when Han Zu enters the copy, his data will be modified to an inconspicuous NPC. Although this change may temporarily block the abilities that Han Zu can use in the copy, it will not affect his physical fitness. In addition, they are currently unable to study the Gift of the Dead Realm. Apart from being able to determine Han Zu's position in the copy, there is actually nothing they can do to help Han Zu. They cannot send reinforcements or deliver supplies. Although there are many restrictions, after Han Zu learned that all actions would not be blocked except to avoid identity exposure, he lay down in the game cabin very neatly and entered the event copy.

“Dang Cang!!”

After entering the competition copy, Han Zu heard some sounds before he opened his eyes, like the sound of some old-fashioned elevator or lift running. When he opened his eyes, Han Zu saw darkness in front of him. Mobilizing the power given by the realm of death in his body, Han Zu activated his night vision ability. After a brief observation, he found that he seemed to be lying in the middle of an old elevator.

Han Zu was about to sit up and check his surroundings, but he found that he seemed to be fixed in some container. His head seemed to be tied by something and he could not turn it around. The same was true for his limbs. His current movements were like lying in a bathtub very unrestrainedly, but judging by the touch from his hands, the place where he was lying seemed to be some rusty metal object.

He raised his hand suddenly, and at the same time as his arm regained freedom of movement, there was a sound of metal collision and friction. After untying the restraints on his body, Han Zu sat up and found himself in a mine cart in the elevator. He was tied with some rusty chains, which had just fixed him in the bucket of the mine cart. As for the sound of metal collision and friction just now, it was the sound of the rusty chains that he had torn apart and fell on the floor of the elevator and the equally rusty mine cart.

"Om~~"

The interior of the elevator was pitch black. Although there was no ceiling, no light could be seen when looking up. Han Zu's eyesight could see several kilometers away, but even so, what Han Zu saw above was still pitch black. So either the elevator shaft was blocked by something, or the distance the elevator descended was beyond Han Zu's visual range.

Although the elevator was old, it seemed to be able to operate normally and was slowly descending. Han Zu used his ability of perspective to look at the walls around him. They were all mud. At least within the limit of Han Zu's perspective, they were all normal mud. At different distances, there were also some normal worms such as earthworms. This meant that within the range that Han Zu was currently passing through, everything was normal.

Han Zu used his ability of perspective to look under the elevator floor. It was also pitch black. Han Zu wanted to use his perception ability to explore how deep the elevator shaft was. However, although he was able to successfully activate his perception ability, Han Zu found that his perception ability was like a soft bubble, compressed many times. The range that Han Zu could currently perceive was almost the same as his arm span.

"It seems that perception ability is useless in this copy."

There was nothing inside the elevator, just a mine cart, some broken chains inside and on the elevator floor, and an old elevator panel with only up, down, start, and stop buttons. It was similar to the style from the Gold Rush era in the West. It looked very old and probably of no use.

"Click."

Han Zu pressed the control panel of the elevator. Except for the up button, all other buttons could be used normally. So Han Zu pressed the stop button to stop the elevator, preparing to test which of his abilities were blocked and which could still be used normally.

There is no problem with visual ability, night vision, perspective, and ultra-long-distance vision can all be used normally.

The perception ability can be used, but the distance is greatly compressed and it is currently of little use.

In terms of physical condition, there is no change in physical fitness and it remains normal. The recovery ability can also function normally without any special restrictions.

In terms of special abilities, the soul-grabbing miasma cannot be used, the gigantism cannot be used, the giant cannon on the chest cannot be used, and biological rockets can appear but cannot be fired or manually detonated, so they are basically useless.

As for the original derived abilities of the Gift of the Dead Realm, currently there are only flame, recovery ability, and half of the energy conversion ability. The recovery ability is normal, and the energy conversion can only be absorbed but not transmitted. The power that the flame ability can output at present can only be used as a nuclear lighter. It is enough to light a cigarette or something, but if you want to use flame attacks as usual, it is not very feasible.

Han Zu made a simple summary of his current situation, that is, he has become an invincible, strong in close combat, super soldier. If there is no help from other weapons, then if Han Zu enters the battle, he can only rely on his fists. It's not that he can't do it, but Han Zu, who has not used close combat much recently, may be a little rusty in his movements.

However, Han Zu did not have any major emotional fluctuations about the fact that most of his abilities were blocked. On the contrary, Han Zu sat on the mine cart and began to think calmly.

Han Zu thought that this might not be a bad thing. During this period of time, Han Zu often used the power of soul-grabbing miasma and fire to fight, and rarely used other abilities. The ability of energy conversion was just allowed to run autonomously with the passive recovery ability of the body. Han Zu seldom took the initiative to try to change their energy transmission. As for the close combat skills, he had forgotten them long ago.

"This is an opportunity. We can take advantage of this period of time to hone our skills and prepare for extreme situations that may arise in the future."

Han Zu opened the system of the Infinite City, and it was just as he expected. Most of the data were displayed abnormally or there were no options at all. In addition, the new mode made changes to the player's skills based on the original professions, resulting in Han Zu being unable to see what skills he could use from the system's data panel.

"grade:???"

"Profession:???"

"Main attribute (physique):???"

"Secondary attribute (strength):???"

"Health value:???"

The most basic items had the classic triple question marks in their numerical positions. Han Zu estimated that the other data would not be much better, so he simply closed the personal information panel and continued to study. He found that apart from the timestamp, the system had basically no options to use. Even the map was not opened, and manual exploration was required.

However, based on the information currently obtained, Han Zu seemed to have figured out one thing. As the last insurance to help Infinite Company, especially the modified game cabin, according to common sense, Infinite Company would not deliberately restrict Han Zu's ability. After all, they didn't know the extent of the methods used by those cheaters. In addition, Han Zu had previously learned that the system of this so-called Infinite City seemed to have some special features. It seemed that Infinite Company could not completely control the system of Infinite City. This was a bit wrong.

"Could it be that the Infinite City system is composed of nanomachines as I previously suspected?"

In Han Zu's opinion, this idea seems to be feasible. After all, although Infinite Company is a giant in the entertainment industry on the surface, don't forget that the original founder of Infinite Company is a doctor of mechanical engineering. After so long, Infinite Company even established its headquarters on the moon. If you say that they can't handle a system constructed by nanomachines, no one will believe it, unless the system of Infinite City was not developed by Infinite Company, but some alien equipment was found and modified and used directly, or there is another possibility, that is, the system of Infinite City has nothing to do with engineering.

"So my previous ability was blocked and restricted. It seems that it may not be the work of Infinite Company. They may not be able to control it at all. But what about other players? They didn't have the same problem as me. Could it be because of the Gift of the Dead Realm?"

Han Zu believes that although he still doesn't know what the Gift of the Dead Realm is, he can guess from his "user experience" that it is probably related to biology. In Han Zu's not very knowledgeable cognition, he believes that the influence of a living organism on a mechanical structure is limited. It may be able to interfere, but it seems unlikely to rely on the characteristics of an organism to change the basic structure of a mechanical device. Therefore, Han Zu believes that the system of this Infinite City may not be a mechanical device, but it is very likely to be composed of something that even the Infinite Company has not studied clearly. It is very likely to be a special life form, an alternative insect swarm will or something like that, at least a half-mechanical and half-life thing. At present, only this conjecture can explain why his situation is very different from that of other players.

"It seems that if I have a chance, I have to study this Gift of the Dead Realm. What on earth is it? By the way... its name first appeared on the system, but now it is gone. Could it be that the Infinite City system has regarded it as something similar? Maybe I should find a chance to ask the people in the Infinite Company."

Unexpectedly, with his inappropriate thinking and unconventional thinking, Han Zu was able to guess a lot of things right. Indeed, the special energy in Han Zu's body was not a gift from the realm of death, and the system of the Infinite City was not a nanomechanical device at all. However, these are all stories for later.

There was no point in thinking further, and it was of no help to Han Zu's upcoming task, so Han Zu stopped thinking, stood up from the mine cart, and prepared to press the elevator button to continue moving forward. However, before pressing the button, Han Zu stopped and looked at the working principle of the elevator.

Although the elevator was very old, it was still sturdy, even though it was covered in rust. Han Zu looked up and did not find the cable pulling the elevator. Fortunately, the scene often seen in games or movies, where the pulling rope suddenly broke and the elevator fell at high speed, should not happen.

"If it's not traction, then it should be something like gears."

Han Zu looked at the two sides of the elevator and the walls facing the four corners. Sure enough, on both sides of the elevator, he saw two dedicated tracks for gears. Using his perspective ability, Han Zu saw that at the bottom of both sides of the elevator, in a position that was normally invisible, there were two gear sets. This should be the power device that controls the elevator.

To be on the safe side, Han Zu observed the two gear sets. There was no rust on them and they were very sturdy, so there shouldn't be any problems.

"Click."

"Om~~"

After pressing the start button of the elevator, the elevator continued to slowly descend. The elevator made a humming sound which was obvious but not loud. During the descent, Han Zu used his perspective ability to observe the tracks of the gears on both sides. Although there were no problems with the gear set and the elevator itself, the tracks of the gears were not certain.

“Sizzle…Sizzle…”

"Boom."

However, Han Zu's worries seemed unnecessary. Ten minutes later, the elevator landed steadily on the ground. Han Zu observed that the ground was solid and there were no traps. So he opened the elevator door and walked out.

This seemed to be the outermost part of some mine. The space was large, but the dome was not high. Some wooden beams with steel nails were used to ensure the stability of the mine. Although it was called a mine, the height of this space was not quite right. The surrounding space was very wide. Although there were a lot of useless waste ores, soil and stones piled up on both sides, even without counting the space they occupied, it was as big as three or four football fields. However, the height was only more than one meter. After leaving the elevator, Han Zu could only move while bending over.

Outside the elevator, there was a mine cart track. At some locations on the track, there were some pressure devices, the common kind that needed to be pushed to open by the weight of the mine cart. Han Zu pulled the mine cart pushed down from the elevator and tried it on the track, but found that the pressure devices seemed to be stuck by the gravel and could not be used at all. So he gave up the idea of ​​using the mine cart.

The space is very large. Apart from those places blocked by piled-up useless minerals, soil and rocks, there are still many mine tunnels that can be passed. There is no strange smell in the entire mine, only the normal smell of soil and rocks, and the faint musty smell caused by poor air circulation. Han Zu smelled it and it was normal, without any toxins. Even ordinary people with no abilities can survive normally as long as the number does not exceed.

These mine tunnels that might be interconnected might lead to different locations, or different roads leading to the same location. Han Zu didn't want to enter those tunnels for the time being. He decided to search for information in this space. His intuition told him that he might be able to find something useful in this mine.
