[Infinite] End Game

The night is quiet and empty, and the stars are not clear, but just from the outline, you can get a glimpse of the exquisiteness of the city.

Tang Yu followed the young man through the long street, tall and straight trees and quietly swaying flowers stretched along the straight road.

Si Yan said that the city was divided into four parts by a square surrounded by gardens.

Although the roads in the city extend in all directions, if you walk along any road, you will eventually reach the square.

To the south of the city is the bay, with countless dhows of various colors, to the east stands a solemn temple surrounded by high walls and stone pillars, to the west is a lively market and shops, and the last side is where the players live.

Houses with red roofs are arranged in layers on the northern hillside, with maple vines and lily lilies climbing randomly on the gray brick walls.

Behind the red-roofed cottages are gorgeous manors and castles. If it is daytime, those colorful glass will reflect beautiful brilliance in the sun.

They headed towards the hillside, and then stopped under the shade of the hill.

In front of them was a lonely white apartment building.The roof is inserted straight into the clouds, and when you look up, you can only see the rising glass windows, some of which are lit, and some of which are pitch black.

"...That's it." Si Yan scratched his head, with a look of schadenfreude that he couldn't hide, he kicked open the big iron door of the apartment while Tang Yu was stunned, and then walked into the corridor to point Looking at the mailbox in the corner, he said to Tang Yu: "Just find someone who is empty, and just swipe the bracelet to bind it."

Tang Yu went up to look and found that the mailboxes were arranged by floor.Some room numbers had white lights on them, while others were dim, which should be the 'no one' that Si Yan said.

Tang Yu thought for a while, raised his wrist and swiped at the house number 2301, and the small sign immediately lit up with a warm white shimmer.

"Okay." Si Yan covered his mouth and yawned a little, walked to the other side and opened the elevator familiarly, and said to Tang Yu, "Let's go, this 2301 will be your safe house from now on. In this world, you can only be absolutely safe in your own safe house, and no one can break in without the owner's permission... However, if you make friends carelessly, inviting bad people into the safe house is another matter."

While speaking, the elevator made a soft "ding" sound, and it had already stopped steadily on the 23rd floor.Si Yan stood still in the corridor after stepping out of the elevator, and raised his chin at Tang Yu to signal him to open the door.

Tang Yu was the only resident on the 23rd floor, which was why he chose the 23rd floor.

Tang Yu passed the iron gate of 2302, then stood still in front of the shimmering '01' house number, swiped the door lock with his wristband, and the thick iron gate slowly bounced open, revealing the scene inside.

Then, Tang Yu's face cracked.

The moonlight shines through the window and casts a faint silver light, shining on the bare walls and nothing on the ground, making it look extraordinarily desolate.

Si Yan finally couldn't help laughing "Hahaha!", he pushed Tang Yu into the room, closed the iron door with his backhand, then reached out to find the switch on the cement wall as if he was very familiar, and shot it decisively.

The light bulb flickered twice, and the dim yellow light illuminated the room and also illuminated the boy's face.

The young man was very good-looking, and his high-spirited appearance showed that he was full of vitality.The young man winked at Tang Yu and said with a smile, "Haha, I was taken aback. The safe houses for novices are like this. Being able to connect to water and electricity is already a great gift of friendship."

Tang Yu didn't know what expression to put on when he heard the words. He stood helplessly in the standard rough room that could be seen at a glance, looking at the exposed wires, the dangling light bulbs hanging above his head, and the rough concrete walls and cement On the ground, he didn't know what to say for a while, but the appearance of wanting to curse betrayed him, making Si Yan laugh non-stop.

Tang Yu: I feel the deep malice in this world.

"Okay, this is just the beginning. You'll soon find out how bad the 'end' is."

Si Yan stopped when he had laughed enough, straightened his expression, and said: "Continuing the previous explanation, the world you just came out with monsters is called a 'dungeon', and our identity is the player. After coming out of the dungeon, the player will return to the Take a short break here, we call it 'Dreamland'."

When talking about "Dreamland", something flashed in Si Yan's eyes, but it was fleeting.

"'...Dungeon' and 'Dreamland' are both worlds dominated by end games. Our time is synchronized with the outside world, but information is not interoperable. Here, all players need to move around in various dangerous dungeons. Successfully clearing the level can Get points and props, if you fail, if the points are deducted to zero, you will die directly. Not only the end world, but also the real world."

As he spoke, Si Yan pointed to his head: "You know that, right?"

Tang Yu nodded, knowing that Si Yan was talking about a large number of brain-dead people in reality, and asked again: "Are there many uses for points?"

"Of course there is." Si Yan cocked his lips: "Points are equivalent to survival points, and they are also a common currency. Most things can be done with points, but correspondingly everything that survives in the dreamland also requires points."

"People who don't have enough points either enter dungeons or do business, and some people who don't have enough brains or courage start robbery. Well, it's the kind you just met."

"In the world at the end, points and props are allowed to be robbed. The place where you appeared happened to be our 'deep sea' site. After all, robbing is a way for some people to earn a living. We can't cut off people's way of life, but we also prohibit killing them all. But in Other places are not so lucky, you should be more careful."

Tang Yu listened quietly. What the young man said was very useful information. If he was allowed to explore by himself, it might take several days to figure out these situations. Points should have been stolen, and that sounds like a good situation.

...The world at the end seems to be a very dangerous place.

Tang Yu stood up straight and thanked the boy solemnly. At the same time, he also keenly captured a word in the boy's words: "Deep sea?"

"..."

The smile on the young man's face stopped, he raised his big eyes, carefully looked at Tang Yu under the dim light, stared at the young man's calm eyes, and after a long time, he showed an expression of inexplicable pity.

He raised his hand and patted Tang Yu's back, and suddenly asked, "Your last dungeon was the type that required more force?"

Tang Yu: ...?

Si Yan looked at Tang Yu's wound, and said sincerely, "You're quite smart, it's unlikely that even a novice dungeon can't make it through. It can only be called unlucky to make it like this."

Tang Yu moved his lips and wanted to say something, but Si Yan had already reached into his pocket and took out a roll of bandages, and stuffed it to Tang Yu involuntarily.

"Although the failure of the novice dungeon will not deduct points, but the dreamland is expensive no matter what you do. I suggest you go to the dungeon as soon as possible, otherwise if you run out of points and don't clear the level, you will die directly."

While speaking, Si Yan opened the only iron door in the room. When he walked to the door, he turned around and said, "I belong to the 'Deep Sea' organization, and today's mission is to patrol. You can add more after you clear the novice copy. My ID informs me, and I may tell you about the organization when the time comes."

In the end, the young man showed a smile, and waved his hand to Tang Yu freely as farewell, but his tone was rarely solemn, and he warned: "You are the first newcomer I guide...don't die ah!"
