The Uncanny Valley Travel Guide

"Morning, good morning?"

The embarrassing silence lasted for a moment, Xie Yuanyuan poked his head out from behind and asked tentatively.

The seven or eight people on the opposite side looked at each other and looked at each other. For a while, they couldn't tell whether the sentence was said by themselves or the other party. The strange silence lasted even longer.

Du Zijun twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly, Wen Zheliu suppressed a smile and said, "Brothers, let's go shopping, I won't disturb you."

This sentence should be regarded as a polite greeting.When he and He Qin were about to walk side by side without fear of the stern light of judgment from 3F, the man standing in the middle opposite them suddenly stopped them.

He is wearing sunglasses, with cigarettes between his fingers, a dark brown coat with black trim, and cropped trousers of the same color. He is also wearing a pair of unruly flip-flops on his feet. Wen Zheliu is thinking about you If he didn't wear the pain shirt on his body, he would be a classic useless character in another silver-headed work by Copy.

"Is it that no one sleeps for you?" He frowned, and exhaled a puff of smoke ring seriously, "We are..."

"It's the Inquisition." Wen Zheliu cut off his words, worried that it was here to find trouble, "We know, what's the matter?"

He never forgot that as early as in the City of Melancholy, passers-by had gossiped about the fact that their group suddenly ascended to the top and accounted for more than half of the top [-] places in the Inquisition of Heresy.

If you bring this up now...

"For a team like yours that habitually wins the first place, I'm afraid they don't even remember a half-baked team like ours, and don't remember the unintentional intersection at the beginning." He said deeply, and the first sentence was "Wen Zheliu secretly thought badly, "I've been thinking about meeting you for a long time, champion."

Xie Yuanyuan couldn't help but said: "I don't know why, when this person speaks, I have an uncontrollable urge to complain..."

Wen Zheliu coughed quickly, and forcibly pulled the right to speak to his side first. He thought that it was hard to say whether the champion was the champion or not, but two of the four people standing in front of you are cruel black players and Moment Explosive players, if you really want to fight, I'm afraid you will be miserable: "Then what, no, brother, we haven't had any confrontation before, have we? You can stop this, but it's completely unnecessary."

The man in the sunglasses sneered deeply, and the people behind him changed their noisy appearance and remained silent: "It's okay, anyway, I've decided long ago to eat what I like and live a short life..."

Wen Zheliu: "... just copy the image, don't even copy the lines of the protagonist of the original work!"

"...So!" The man in sunglasses held up a finger, "If the Fourth World can be your opponent, we will definitely do our best to be worthy of the places we were snatched away by you! This is our determination and declaration !"

The reverberation shook the air, but no one on both sides was willing to break the silence, they were all thinking about how to answer the next sentence.

Holding the box, Du Zijun changed hands, biting the lollipop stick in his mouth and shaking it, cautiously looking at this novel creature in front of him that he had never come into contact with before.

After a long time, the man in sunglasses' fingers were trembling due to the suffocating silence, and his forehead was sweating. Xie Yuanyuan hesitated and whispered, "...So, do we need to applaud?"

He Qin pondered for a moment, then asked amusedly: "Okay, may I ask your honorable name?"

The man in the sunglasses swallowed his throat, and then replied calmly: "Hua Ying, even if the game ID is MADAO sleeping in a cardboard box, people will find out. There is no need to report you, because I already know all your information."

Xie Yuanyuan: "...It's so long, what kind of ghost ID is this?"

"You are Wen Di, formerly known as Wen Zheliu," his eyes scanned everyone on the opposite side, except Xie Yuanyuan, "Your name is He Qin, and your game ID and original name are the same. It is said that there is another one in your team A mysterious teammate whose name is unknown, no one has ever seen what he looks like..."

Xie Yuanyuan: "...Hello!"

"...the last one," Hua Ying paused for a moment on Du Zijun's soft emerald tattoo, "Your name is Du Zijun, game ID...!"

He was suddenly choked up in shock, and hastily swallowed the extremely shameful screen name, because he saw Du Zijun's expression like a ghost that devoured people, and he almost wanted to write death on him with his eyes.

In order to cover up his gaffe, he first laughed three times, and then said: "In short, in short, this is roughly the information you have! As for the more specific information, we have all the information. , we will definitely win the final victory!"

Listening to the whispered arguments of "don't poison milk, leader" and "shut up and stop talking", Xie Yuanyuan opened his eyes and said, "...No, no matter how you say it, if you really grasp the more specific The intelligence, maybe even dare not come..."

He Qin nodded gracefully: "Okay, we all know, is there anything else?"

Hua Ying and several core members of the Inquisition Committee thought for a while, then shook their heads collectively.

"No, no, that's all."

"Okay," Wen Zheliu smiled brightly, "Then we have a chance to meet again?"

"Ah, goodbye."

Seeing the four people staggered from them and drifted away towards the exit, Hua Ying pushed his sunglasses, and suddenly felt that his aura was completely suppressed.

"Captain, it's over."

"That's right, it's really too hard."

"I'm getting goosebumps."

"Roll!" Hua Ying was smoking a cigarette butt, "Is there any soul? If you like me, you must also like my dirty place!"

"...I can't do it anymore, the difficulty of this liking is really hell level."

"...That's really disturbing, Captain."

At the other end, four people stood at the counter at the exit of the black market, watching NPCs inspecting their products one by one, Xie Yuanyuan scratched his head and said, "People from the Inquisition..."

Du Zijun: "Huh?"

"Although the second line of the line is off the charts, it reveals a strong atmosphere of not being good at communicating with people," he complained, "but I feel that people are not bad, so naive."

Du Zijun nodded, and wore the Scarborough Fair on his waist: "If you can say that you are innocent, then you are really innocent."

Xie Yuanyuan puffed up his cheeks bravely and dared not speak out. While packing the bag, He Qin said casually: "But you can think of the entrance key to the black market, and they are also capable to some extent."

"However," Wen Zheliu suppressed a smile, "Let's think about the auction, and stop wasting time on such trivial matters."

He Qin randomly picked a piece of chocolate from the gift, peeled off the gold foil and stuffed it into Wen Zheliu's mouth: "The invitation is here, so it's okay to pick two props and send it in to participate. The main problem is..."

Wen Zheliu chewed the sweet and slightly bitter chocolate, then said: "What should we do with the video? It's definitely unrealistic to package it all up, they will have the master copy in their hands no matter what. But if they admit it openly, it would be a bit too conspicuous. "

"Then admit it half-heartedly." Xie Yuanyuan interjected.

"...What do you think this is for fun, and you still push it halfway," Wen Zheliu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "At most, I pray that the live broadcast in the whole city will not cause any problems with the video, that is the real show."

"Is the chocolate sweet?" He Qin didn't say anything, just focused on watching his moving lips.

"Ah?" Wen Zheliu was unprepared, and raised his hand to touch the gift, "I think it's okay, it's not very sweet, I'll give you—"

He Qin slightly lowered his head, and gently bit his soft lower lip.

Wen Zheliu: "!"

His teeth were gently but forcefully pried open, the melted chocolate was sticky and sweet, and the syrup dripping on the tip of his tongue was the rain of instant pleasure.He Qin rolled the tip of his tongue and took a lingering sip. He sucked away the sweet juice brewed from the cocoa, and also sucked Wen Zheliu until his waist was numb, and his soul almost flew away.

"you……"

"Sweet." He Qin straightened up as if nothing had happened, "It's too sweet."

Wen Zheliu's face was hot: "...why didn't I sweeten you to death!"

"Because I discovered at this time that I don't seem to hate sweets so much."

"You, stop snatching things from my mouth!"

"Well, I was wrong." He Qin licked the corner of his mouth eagerly, "Dare to do it next time."

The two people behind have already left.

Xie Yuanyuan: "Wow, I really want to fall in love too..."

Du Zijun: "Then think about it."

·

In the early morning of the next day, several people entered the city center by car. For unknown reasons, the organizer specially set the location in the player arena.Although the area of ​​the arena is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, it is also the only place in the city where players are allowed to use props and have violent conflicts.

They took a high-altitude cable car and overlooked a circle above the arena. The circular structure is very reminiscent of the ancient Roman Colosseum. There are also countless spectator boxes, which only rise in the vast central amphitheater. A translucent high platform for display, refracting to the surrounding|sophisticated and eye-catching artificial brilliance.

At this time, players coming from all directions are like a dense colony of ants, and they are methodically verifying their identity through hundreds of entrances outside the arena.The holographic projection screen is exploding one after another bright and unreal fireworks over the entire arena.

"What a big battle!" Xie Yuanyuan couldn't help but marvel, "I'm afraid all the players in the city are here!"

"12." He Qin said, "The capacity here is only 12, and at least half of them learned about the details of this auction through the live broadcast throughout the city."

Du Zijun watched the cable car fly down the sky plank road smoothly, merged with other cable cars into the ocean waiting in line, and said: "It is said that it is officially undertaken, but in fact, besides the holy nuns, who else in the uncanny valley is official? It is nothing more than the ten Several large associations took the lead in submitting applications, and the small associations and idle players below joined in the fun, and even if the NPCs sent someone to maintain order, I don’t know what they could come up with.”

"From the manager's point of view, this will be a very promising attempt." He Qin kept smiling, "Sometimes, the activities led by the officials can only be too rigid and lack of vitality, but if the players are allowed to organize and explore by themselves Rules, maybe it can inspire some new possibilities.”

Du Zijun nodded slightly: "Well, this point is indeed worthy of reference."

The cable car stopped lightly, and several people opened the door and walked to the NPC to hand out invitations.After three sensational wins, their names are still hanging on the steeple not far away. Naturally, many passing players recognized the identities of the four and began to secretly watch and discuss.

"At this time, we must thank the benefits of the transparent physique!" Xie Yuanyuan felt refreshed.

Du Zijun rolled his eyes, grabbed his collar and slipped him in.

The location given to them by Bai Jingxing is in the middle of the 22nd floor, which is just a bit higher and an excellent viewing place.After the elevator opened, the four of them bumped into Chi Qingliu, the head of Jiangshan Laughing Group, who they had met once. Walking further inside, they encountered Li Rong leading his sister Li Tianyu out for a walk.

"You guys are here to participate in the auction too!" Li Tianyu was pleasantly surprised after not seeing you for a week, "Great, let me see your room numbers, ah... next to Big Brother Bai, there are three private rooms away from us."

She dragged her voice out in disappointment, but there was still the familiar and pampered look in Wen Zheliu's eyes, he smiled, and briefly shook hands with Li Rong as a greeting.

"Young and promising," Li Rong's smile remained unchanged, and he looked at Wen Zheliu meaningfully, "It's really not easy."

Wen Zheliu knew that he must have watched the video preview, so he didn't say anything more at the moment, just nodded with a smile, and then entered the room with his teammates.

"Cool bro!" Xie Yuanyuan whistled as soon as he entered the room, and Wen Zheliu also praised: "Handsome!"

In the room, whether it is the carpet or the furniture with simple and elegant lines, they are all gray, white and black frosted three colors. In the front is a completely transparent wall, with light blue streamers flashing regularly, showing them the magnified scene.

Wen Zheliu said excitedly: "Although it's too exaggerated for an auction to be like this, it's really touching!"

"Everyone, welcome to come!" On the high-altitude booth, the host smiled sweetly, with a silver-white sequence symbolizing NPC tattooed under his eyes, and spoke enthusiastically amidst the thundering salutes and fireworks, "Are you still worried about the difficult situation?" What about the adventures you were looking for? Are you so lucky that the rewards and props you get are soft, and you can only waste them in the end? Submit your troubles and commissions here, and the auction hosted by Roaring Arena will solve your problems immediately , we look forward to your arrival!"

In the super-giant venue of 12 people, the voices of every audience applauding and shouting blended together, forming an earth-shattering huge wave like a tsunami. Amidst the excitement of the audience and players, the host began to introduce the rules of the event.

Players who are confirmed to participate in the auction process will be given priority in the private room in the auditorium. When bidding, the holographic projection surrounding the entire venue will display his image and personal information in the private room at the same time.For ordinary auction items, all the rules are as usual; for special auction items, players or teams with auction intentions need to send representatives to participate in the qualification competition. Only the top ten winners are eligible to participate in the auction of the special item.

Hearing this rule, He Qin raised his eyebrows.

"It's interesting," he said.
