The online game world has three major urban areas, namely Jinling, Hangzhou and Suzhou City.And several small villages and towns sandwiched around the main city.

Every city has its own characteristics.

The Jinling City where they are located is where players gather, and there are hundreds of gangs, large and small.Players develop their own forces by gathering gangs, such as dividing the chassis, building shops, collecting rent, doing business, and so on.

The other two cities were different.

Suzhou City is the base of the famous Sword Villa that comes with the dream system. Most of the city is functional NPCs. Players are not allowed to fight privately and occupy the territory.

The city of Hangzhou is very lonely, with few residents and mostly empty streets.There are some small sects that come with the dream system inside.It is said that there used to be a Shahe Fort here that was as famous as the Famous Sword Villa, but it has disappeared.

The map is not big, there are only three main cities, and the overall situation is not complicated.

Within a few days, the three of Tang Ji had walked through the main city for a round.

On this day, they received a notice from Brother Niu, and the three of them went to the gang's meeting hall together.

The Laughing Buddha is the head of the Four Seas Gang.

The gang meeting hall is similar to the usual office meeting room, but the style is more simple, the tables and chairs are all log color, and several people are dressed in ancient costumes and sit down.

"Welcome!" The smiling Buddha greeted the three with a smile, "Are you familiar with the game?"

On Simon's side, the three of them explained it politely.

Next, Brother Niu gave them some new information.

This online game group has been operating in the dream game for more than three years. It can be said that they are quite familiar with various tasks and NPCs, but there is only one task that no one has cleared so far.

"So, we speculate that clearing the mission is the key to interpreting the dream." Brother Niu introduced to everyone, "If you have played the game, you may know that there is a game called the running mission?"

The three of them here have some concepts. The task of running around is a single-line multi-link task. The task is received from the same NPC, and it is accumulated one by one.

Usually the task time span is very long, and it takes a lot of effort, time, money, etc.The characteristic of this kind of task is that the reward is extremely generous.Although the process is exhausting, it is possible to get a lot of experience, valuable skill books or materials after completion, so even if it is difficult, it is still very attractive.

Tang Ji said: "How many rings are there in total? Where have you done it?"

"Ring 100," Brother Niu said, "We got stuck in ring 89 for 3 months, and we just passed yesterday!"

Brother Niu was a little excited and obviously very happy: "The difficulty level of this task increases every 10 levels. But there is a rule, within the tenth level, many tasks are related to each other. For example, when we receive the task of the 80th ring, we need to find... ..."

"Ahem," the Laughing Buddha interrupted Brother Niu, and said, "Little Niu, you should focus on the key points first."

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry," Brother Niu smiled, adjusted his emotions, and said, "That's right, we have a lot of supplies here, and we can take you to the 90th ring, and we need to discuss together in the future. In addition, we have to discuss the issue of the 'Little Black Room'."

Simon nodded: "Yes."

Before falling into the dream, Tang Ji thought that the "little black room" had nothing to do with the plot of the main dreamer, but after hearing Brother Niu say that, assuming that the dream can be interpreted after completing the task of running around, then the appearance of the "little black room" will appear new explanation.

Now, he has a new idea.

Tang Ji: "I think that the two issues of dream interpretation and 'little black room' can be considered together."

Brother Niu's eyes lit up: "Oh? Let's talk."

Tang Ji: "You take us to the 90th ring first, I have to know the process of running the ring task before I can consider this matter. Also, have you found the main dreamer?"

"Uh, this..." Brother Niu felt a little embarrassed, and rubbed his nose, "It should be a player, hidden among us, and we are still looking for it."

Tang Ji raised his eyebrows, the meaning on his face couldn't be clearer: You have been looking for several years and can't find a dreamer?

"NPCs and most of the players, we have done all the main missions of the game, and all kinds of dungeons," the smiling Buddha felt disdainful from Tang Ji, and emphasized, "Only the players who enter the dream are different every time. The amount is large, and we will re-check every time."

Several people nodded, and the meeting was almost over.

As the leader of the gang, the Laughing Buddha's main task is to maintain the operation of the gang.

Brother Niu led the three of them to do the ring-running task.

At least half of the first 90 ring tasks of running ring tasks require certain materials.The Four Seas family gang is strong, and these materials have been hoarded for a long time, and they are directly handed over to Simon, Tang Ji and Zhang Jianshan to complete the task.

For other tasks, such as finding a certain NPC, or PK, betting darts, running a business, etc., Brother Niu will take them down one by one.

When Brother Niu was away, a player named One Slipper led them to do it.

It may be that the predecessors have already crossed the river, and the people behind are doing it with ease.

It only took the three of them half a month to upgrade the task to 90 rings.

The NPC leading the ring mission is named Shananzhu, tall and thin, in ragged clothes, dressed like a down-and-out beggar, and often wanders around the corners of the world map.

Every time a task is handed over, you need to run around the map to find him.

"Does this NPC have any identity background?" Tang Ji thought that if dream interpretation was really related to the task of running around the ring, the NPC who handed over the task obviously couldn't be an ordinary person.

"It seems to be..." Brother Niu tried his best to mobilize the remaining information about Shananzhu in his brain, "The people who came out of Hangzhou City may have learned swordsmanship from Shahebao. There is a task where players need to PK with him. His skills belong to Sand River Fort school."

"Shahebao...Shananzhu..." Tang Ji wondered, "They all have the characters of sand, could they be related?"

Brother Niu shrugged his shoulders: "No way. Why are you doing this? NPCs are just like us, aren't they all human?"

This so-called identity and skills are automatically generated by the system when entering a dream, so the background story is already compiled, so why study this?

Tang Ji glanced at Brother Niu, and said slowly, "Are any of you NPCs?"

"That's not true." Brother Niu thought for a while, and then said, NPCs can't die, there are so few people, it's normal for none of us to be NPCs, right?

From Brother Niu's point of view, it's really not surprising, but Tang Ji doesn't understand it that way.

Compared with players, NPCs in the game need more stable candidates, and they must be online every day.

If the player enters the dream and assumes the identity of the NPC, at least the stability cannot be guaranteed.

The difference between this dream and other dreams Tang Ji has experienced is that there are two opposing identities in its plot, that is, the player and the NPC.

"By the way, we recently discovered the rule of entering the 'small dark room'," Brother Niu reminded them, "Try not to go out after dark, especially not to enter the city, those who wander in the city after dark have been arrested Got a few."

Simon said, "Yeah, got it."

"Have you reached the 90th ring?" Brother Niu confirmed again, "Is it a mission to find Yan Nantian?"

Several people checked the task list at the same time, and there was only one sentence for the introduction of the ring-running task: Find Yan Nantian.

Yan Nantian, who is he?

Is it male or female?

Is it an NPC or a player?

A few people have no clue at all.

Simon frowned: "Do you have any information?"

Brother Niu shook his head, and said truthfully, "Whether it's a player or a known NPC, no one is named Yan Nantian."

Tang Ji said, "Maybe he changed his name? Or maybe Yan Nantian is not a person, but an item?"

"It's all possible." Brother Niu nodded, "But... In the past half a month, we have clicked all the NPCs, and there is no new task dialogue. As for items, at least we know that there is no NPC named Yan in the items. From the south."

Obviously Brother Niu is not in a hurry, he is very stable.

The 89 rings have been done for 3 months, and one can imagine how long it will take to clear the 90 rings.

"If this matter is not in a hurry, it is better to find a way to solve the problem of the 'Little Black House' first." Brother Niu still remembered their original intention of finding Simon to cooperate, and he did not forget to remind a few people, "If this problem is not resolved, we can only worry about it every day. Push down the running ring task!"

All three nodded, apparently acknowledging the truth in Brother Niu's words.

"By the way," Tang Ji said, "Where is the busiest place here, or where is the news distribution center?"

"Quite a lot," Brother Niu counted with his fingers, "Jinling City is the most famous Green Plum Tavern, there is a Yihong Courtyard in Hangzhou City, and the famous Sword Villa in Suzhou, there are many diners and tourists..."

Several people bid farewell to Brother Niu, and they were the first to find the Green Plum Tavern in Jinling City.

Green Plum Tavern is located in the center of the busiest commercial street in Jinling.

There are a total of three floors of wooden buildings. The main material is wood, painted with dark red paint, and matched with blue tiles. Four stone statues are carved at the four corners of the roof. It is unclear what animals it is.

There are many tourists at the gate, most of them are players coming and going, and occasionally some NPCs who walk around the plot.

Players and NPCs are easy to distinguish, mainly because the difference in clothing is particularly large.

The costumes of NPCs generally match their identities, and players are divided according to the laws of sects.

For example, in Tang Ji's doctor profession, everyone holds a whisk in his hand, and a swordsman hangs a sword at his waist.Zhang Jianshan's chivalrous men are even more obvious, not only are they all holding a big hammer, but their clothes are uniform and rough, showing more than they wear.

Tang Ji suggested: "Let's go in and have something to eat, and inquire about the news."

After all, he walked in first, followed by Zhang Jianshan.

The two had already arrived at the lobby, and Xiao Er came up to greet them to take their seats, only to find that Simon was still standing at the gate, not moving for a long time.

Tang Ji turned his head: "?"

Zhang Jianshan: "Simon? Come in."

Simon didn't speak, just stared at the pillars on both sides of the gate in thought.

His face was tense, and his eyes were slightly staring, as if he had seen something that could shock him.

"What?" Tang Ji hurriedly got up and walked towards the door.

Simon was expressionless most of the time, and when he was deep in thought, it was usually his on and off eyes that saw something.

Before Tang Ji reached Simon, Simon made his next move.

He didn't say hello to the two of them, but walked straight into the lobby, crossed the entire first floor of the restaurant, and found a remote wooden door in the corner.

"Oh? Where are you going?!" Tang Ji trotted a few steps to follow him.

"No need to follow." Simon dropped a sentence and pushed open the small wooden door.

The kitchen yard of the restaurant behind the wooden door.

If you say you won't follow, you won't follow?

Tang Ji rolled his eyes and stood up to follow.
