Fantasy Game: Infinite City

"Knock knock knock."

At 1:30 in the afternoon, someone knocked on Han Zu's door. When he opened the door, it was several employees of Infinite Company.

"Is there a problem?"

"Hello Mr. Han, since you are the only Infinite City player currently at the headquarters, the Research Department would like you to help us test the new game cabin. Is this okay with you?"

"No problem, I just don't have anything to do."

"plz follow me."

Following these employees, Han Zu came to a building next to the Infinite Company's headquarters. This was the research and development center of the Infinite City Game Warehouse. Han Zu could see that all kinds of gaming equipment from different models and periods, from the first generation to the latest game warehouses, were all here.

Coming to the center of the R&D center, there are many R&D personnel debugging the prototype of a new game cabin and recording various data.

The new game cabin prototype is slightly different from the latest game cabins on the market. First of all, it no longer needs to be connected to an external power supply. This prototype comes with a new power device.

Secondly, it reduces the delay in entering the Infinite City. The current game cabin takes more than 10 seconds to enter the game, while the new prototype can enter the Infinite City within five seconds.

Another thing is that the interactive experience has been enhanced. By entering the Infinite City through the prototype, the player's five senses will be restored one-to-one, instead of being restricted as before.

There are still some new things that need to be tested in practice, so the researchers thought of Han Zu who is currently at the headquarters.

"Mr. Han, we can start the test."

"how should I do?"

"It's just like using the game cabin normally, but there is no need to match the copy. We will let you enter a special test scene, and then we will contact you through the system message to guide you to help us complete the test."

"Row."

Han Zu lay down in the prototype, and at the instruction of the researchers next to him, he landed in the Infinite City. About two or three seconds later, Han Zu's consciousness entered the Infinite City.

A flash of white light passed, and Han Zu arrived at an ice field in an extremely cold place. There was no end in sight. Although the environment was bright, he could not see the sun when he looked up. Under his feet was a thick layer of ice covered with snow. The ice layer was a little turbid, and he didn't know how thick it was. The temperature of the environment was very low, and Han Zu felt a little cold, and his body temperature was rapidly declining.

"Please use the Tyrant Body."

“It should be a reminder from scientific researchers.”

Following the prompts, Han Zu switched the tyrant's body.

"Please move forward."

“Boom…Boom…Boom…”

The dull and huge footsteps stepped on the snow, making a creaking sound. The tyrant's body quickly adapted to the extremely cold temperature, and soon, the feeling of cold disappeared.

After walking for a minute or two, a pile of things appeared in front of us. They were cubes of two meters square made of various materials.

"Try moving cubes of different materials, from right to left."

The first cube on the right was made of pure gold. Han Zu lifted it up easily and, with the guidance of the researchers, held it in the air for five seconds before gently putting it back in place.

Continuing to the right, Han Zu recognized marble, obsidian, foam paper, solid cardboard, steel, titanium alloy, red brick, concrete, sand, and solid mercury. However, they were not arranged in order of weight. It might be that the researchers wanted to test the particle effects produced when these materials were moved in the game.

There are many such cubes, but Han Zu couldn't name them. Moreover, according to the researchers, many of them are made of materials that should not appear in solid form at the current temperature.

After putting the last cube back in place, the researchers gave another hint.

"Please run at full speed along the beacon."

Some beacons appeared on the ground, and a particle reorganization effect appeared in the middle of the beacons. A dirt road suddenly appeared on the ice field. Han Zu ran along the dirt road, and the vibration of the ground raised a lot of smoke and dust.

Han Zu, who was running at full speed, saw that a speedometer had appeared next to the health value on his system panel, and the speed now displayed was 75 kilometers per hour.

“Please be prepared that the types of roads will change.”

The dirt road turned into grass, and Han Zu's speed slightly slowed down, remaining at around 73.

After a few kilometers, the grassland turned into a wading section. The water was about as deep as Han Zu's knees, and Han Zu's speed dropped to 70.

After some changes in road types, including swamps, brick roads, asphalt roads, etc., Han Zu's speed basically remained in the range of 60 to 85.

"Please wait, different road data are being recorded."

After a few minutes, perhaps because the data was recorded, the researchers transmitted the information again through the system.

“Try using melee attacks on targets made of different materials to try to destroy them.”

A facility similar to a training ground suddenly appeared on the ice field. Inside it were rectangular targets made of various materials. Many of these materials should actually be used in buildings. At the instruction of the researchers, Han Zu attacked them one by one. However, it seemed to be due to data problems. Except for a few targets made of special materials, the other targets were no different from paper to Han Zu.

"Please use your weapons to attack the distant target."

A shooting range extended from the training ground. There were many targets of different materials in the distance, but only those targets made of special materials that Han Zu could not easily destroy were left.

Aiming the arm in the direction of the target, the Flesh Machine Cannon appeared with the sound of twisting muscles and bones, pouring firepower on the distant target. This time, several targets made of special materials also suffered and were blown into pieces, while the remaining targets that were relatively intact were also being slowly corroded by the bullets of the Flesh Machine Cannon.

After completing the attack test, Han Zu helped them conduct a defense test at the prompt of the system personnel. The test level table is divided into 9 areas: white, green, yellow, blue, red, orange, black, black-red, and black-gold. Up to the first few items of black, the attacks generated by the system have no practical effect on Han Zu. However, afterwards, Han Zu can be hurt. The first half of the black-red area can cause serious injuries to Han Zu. For safety reasons, the researchers did not let Han Zu test the second half of the black-red area and the black-gold area.

The system quickly repaired Han Zu's body, and Han Zu carried out the next test. This test was very simple. A huge hole appeared on the ice, and below was the calm water surface. Next to it was a pile of pebbles made of various materials. Han Zu needed to throw them into the water one by one, and let the researchers observe the ripple effect produced on the water surface.

After this test, Han Zu helped the researchers conduct a series of tests, and the progress was rapid.

Three hours later, at the prompting of the staff, Han Zu started the last item of the test.

"Please remain still while we complete the last test, levitation."

Han Zu became interested and thought of something.

"Hover, wait, are you guys doing a pilot test for... flight?"

"Yes, Infinite City will add flight capabilities and related systems in the near future, but please keep it confidential for the time being and do not disclose information related to this test."

"No problem! Let's get started!"

No one can resist the feeling of flying freely in the sky, and Han Zu is no exception. It can be seen that he is very excited.

"Please stretch your body straight with your arms at your sides."

Han Zu followed the instructions of the researchers, and soon, Han Zu's body floated up. The feeling was very wonderful and hard to describe, but overall, the feeling of floating was very pleasant.

"Please try to move your body."

"Um, what should I do? Are there any specific requirements?"

"No, just follow your idea."

Han Zu changed his movements in the air, but he had no experience in flying, so he could only move in the air by swimming. It felt similar to swimming in the water, but the resistance was not as great as in the water, so with the same movement, he could move farther and faster in the air.

"Next we will provide various flying methods. Please use different flying methods to move the same distance."

"no problem!"

Under the operation of scientific researchers, Han Zu's system has an additional interface with many flying modes. However, perhaps because it is still in the research and development stage, the interface of the flight system only has text on the names of the flight modes, revealing a strong atmosphere of a rough house.

Through the flight system, Han Zu tried almost all the flying methods that humans can imagine, but they can be roughly divided into three categories.

The first category is "pseudo" flight that relies on props or equipment and skills, such as flying props with time limits or restrictions, jet backpacks, flying creature transformation, etc.

The second type is ordinary flight that relies on its own data to break certain system restrictions, such as Superman-like flying methods, low-level swordsmanship, and magical flight, etc. These methods basically have no time limit, but may be blocked by certain copies with special rules.

The third category can be said to be the real flying or the flying method that players want, such as high-level sword-controlling, anti-gravity flight, possessing a special internal energy source, etc. This flying method will hardly be subject to any restrictions, unless it is in a certain official copy of the Infinite City that is specially made and prohibits flying, it may be restricted, such as some copies of PVP.

Moreover, according to these researchers, the third type of flying mode may be brought into reality through the Infinite City in the future. Perhaps in the near future, the way people travel will undergo tremendous changes.

"We are now entering the final stage of testing. Please try to attack the moving target during flight."

In order to make the test data more accurate, the researchers provided various weapons that were suitable for Han Zu's occupation but with different energy sources for testing. This test took a longer time. By the time all the tests were completed and Han Zu left the prototype, it was already six o'clock in the evening.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Han. All the tests have been completed and the researchers are collecting and analyzing the data."

"Is there anything else I need to do?"

"No, Mr. Han. To express our gratitude for helping us conduct real-machine testing of the data, the Infinite City officials have prepared a small gift for you. You will receive it the next time you log in to the Infinite City."

"A small gift? Can you tell me what it is?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Han. Since our department is not in charge of this work, I don't know either. However, the gift should still be in the making. It will take about 30 hours to complete."

"That's it, then it's okay."

After shaking hands with the head of the scientific research team, Han Zu, accompanied by the staff, left the scientific research department and returned to the hotel. After bidding farewell to the scientific research team, Han Zu returned to his room and called the restaurant for some food.

Although Han Zu didn't know what the official gift from Infinite City was, he thought that the wealthy Infinite Company would not be stingy, so he was very curious. After finishing his meal, Han Zu left his room with the two hounds.

Although it was already night, the facilities on the moon operated in shifts around the clock, so it was no different from the daytime. So in order to go back earlier, Han Zu started his moon tour.

However, in addition to some advanced facilities and buildings, there is the starry sky, as well as some weapons and armed vehicles that Han Zu is interested in. Because they belong to the military, he can only watch from afar.

Although this place is very advanced, Han Zu soon lost interest, probably because most of the things have nothing to do with him in a short time. After finding a good position and taking some photos of the starry sky, Han Zu ended the sightseeing early and returned to the room to rest.

The next morning, after talking to the staff of Infinite Company and confirming that there was nothing else, Han Zu boarded the spacecraft back to Earth under the company's arrangement and soon returned to his home on the outskirts of City C.

As soon as I got home, I received a call from the official Infinite City. Because Han Zu participated in the test of the new game warehouse prototype, the official Infinite City decided to let Han Zu become the first player to experience the new game warehouse. The official will replace Han Zu with a new game warehouse for free one week in advance before the new game warehouse is officially launched on the market, and the maintenance of the new game warehouse will also be the responsibility of a dedicated official.

After hanging up the phone, Han Zu looked at the time. There were still a few hours before the expected time to receive the official small gift. Han Zu sat on the sofa, recalling his previous experience of testing the flight system.

"I just don't know when it will be officially launched, but judging by their progress, it will probably be after the Guild War at the earliest."

Time passed quickly, and Han Zu received a message from the official of Infinite City.

"Thank you for your time and effort in testing, which has played a key role in subsequent research and development. The small gift prepared for you has been made and sent to your Infinite City warehouse. You can receive it next time you enter the Infinite City."

"It's finally here! Let me see what this little gift is."

After rubbing his hands, Han Zu lay down in the game cabin and logged into the Infinite City. He found a gift box that took up several grids in the warehouse.

"This little gift takes up so many spaces?! Let me see what's inside."

After clicking to open the gift box, the contents of the small gift appeared in front of Han Zu.
