Chapter 417: Alien Land (I)
The student involved was named Fan Yingjie, and he was Yan Zhen's classmate.
At that time, I was still analyzing and calculating the clues of the financial backer behind this alien game. Yan Zhen suddenly received a new message from Boss Han.
Boss Han is indeed a fox businessman who has his eyes and ears open. He has served various interstellar aliens on Earth for many years and knows everything about this planet. His intelligence shows that several people on Earth have accepted the game invitation and entered the game. According to the information he has, one of them is called Fan Yingjie, and Fan Yingjie happens to be Yan Zhen's classmate.
In fact, such things are not uncommon.
Yan Zhen was chatting with Liu Xingquan when he received the news. Naturally, the two skilled collaborators strongly requested to go to the alien game together to avoid any accidents to their classmates.
In this case, the game at least seems to meet all the standards, so I can only agree.
The process of entering the game is very simple. Just pick up the game invitation card, place your finger on the chip area of the invitation card, silently recite the two rows of numbers on the game card, and then close your eyes.
When you open your eyes again, you will find that you have entered this magical and strange world.
The specific principle of the alien world game is to encode the thinking consciousness of the game participants and project it into the virtual network. In your subconscious mind, the characters generated in the alien world are almost the same as you. In the alien world, the physical reality, touch, taste and other senses will be simulated to the greatest extent, and there will be no difference from reality. For the uninformed earth players, they will think they have been transferred to a brand new and wonderful world. In fact, the real players will fall into a deep sleep, and their consciousness is adventuring in the illusion.
…
…
At first, there was a hazy dampness that slowly enveloped the skin of the body, and then there was a gentle breeze, mixed with a few bird calls and cicada chirps.
Yan Zhen opened his eyes, and the world gradually became clearer before his eyes.
He was lying on a patch of grass, with hairy weeds poking his face. Yan Zhen blinked hard, his dark eyeballs moved left and right, and then he sat up.
"I'm really in the game." He said to himself, straightened up, brushed off the weeds on his body, and then turned around to look around. No matter from which angle, this was no longer the city scenery he was familiar with.
The grass on the ground was lush, and everywhere he looked was dense jungle, and the trees were almost all symmetrical in an umbrella shape, with brightly colored stripes on the trunks, which did not look like the plants on Earth that Yan Zhen knew in his cognition library. The woods exuded a foul smell of soil, and this delicate perception was as if he had been transferred to another place overnight.
"The spawn point at the beginning is in the jungle," he said, "so the next step should be a tutorial for beginners. As for the game, there should be an attribute panel or something like that." He poked at the air, but no panel popped up as he expected.
"Tsk." Yan Zhen turned around and looked around , "Liu Xingquan? Liu Xingquan?"
His cry received no response except for the chirping of a little green bird on a branch.
"He and I were born in different places."
He called again: "Mr. Air? Mr. Air?"
I am now looking down at him from the dome of this game, but I cannot talk to him in the game at the moment. Just like the game files I have seen, the security level of this game is extremely high. Although I can forcefully invade now with my incomplete body, this behavior will be immediately discovered by the game operator and may even bring danger to Yan Zhen. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I decided to use other more secret methods.
It’s just that this method means that I can’t communicate with Yan Zhen in the game.
In short, now this alien game will depend entirely on him and his friends.
He lowered his head to check his equipment. There was only an apple in his pocket, which exuded an enticing fruity aroma. There was a line of instructions on the apple:
[An obvious common fruit that can restore physical strength. Even a mentally retarded person knows how to use it. ]
"No way, there's only one apple in the starter pack? How stingy."
Yan Zhen straightened up and walked forward.
This boy's brain circuits are indeed different from those of ordinary people. After realizing that he couldn't contact me and Liu Xingquan, there was no panic on his face. Instead, he muttered to himself in an unusually relaxed manner:
"The spawn point for novices shouldn't be dangerous..." He raised his head and said in a broken voice, "...right..."
He saw the branches of a tree not far in front of him swaying, and a huge monster jumped out from it. It had giant insect-like legs and deep cracks dripping with pus. It looked like a hybrid spider of many insects. The big spider opened its bloody mouth and let out a deafening hiss.
"This, this is not a monster from the Novice Village at all!!" Facing this terrifying giant spider, Yan Zhen had the first reaction that any normal human would have, which was to turn around and run.
Behind him, there was only a passable forest path. Yan Zhen ran as fast as he could, and soon a small wooden house appeared on the open ground in front of him.
“This should be the first place players are directed to.”
He rushed to the cabin and opened the door.
The door was pushed open easily. He closed the door with his backhand and it made a "click" sound as if it was locked automatically.
There was a surprised cry from inside the house.
"Yan Zhen?? You're in this game too?"
There were three people in the room, including Fan Yingjie, who we already knew, and two other game participants, who were actually people Yan Zhen knew. They were two girls, one was Yan Zhen's classmate Song Jiarui, and the other was Bai Lianlian, a girl from the next class. Song Jiarui was pretty and was the most beautiful girl in their class. Bai Lianlian, a girl from the next class, was a good friend of Song Jiarui since childhood.
Song Jiarui was sitting on the ground with a pale face, looking frightened. Bai Lianlian's hand was on her shoulder to comfort her.
Fan Yingjie stepped forward and said, "Wow, Yan Zhen, you're here too. I didn't expect to meet so many familiar faces in this game."
"..." Yan Zhen did not speak immediately. He just calmly scanned the surrounding indoor environment and then exchanged information with his three classmates.
Fan Yingjie participated in a lottery online and received a game invitation card. Bai Lianlian and Song Jiarui were also asked, and they also participated in a lottery through an online questionnaire and received a game invitation. After silently reciting the number on the card, they found themselves suddenly in this world.
Although I have long heard about the shameless practices of some interstellar operators for traffic, I was still furious to see so many ordinary humans being dragged into this game. I couldn't help but plan in my mind how to bankrupt the financiers behind this game.
"It's amazing." Fan Yingjie said, "I didn't expect that we actually traveled to another world. This is awesome! I must be dreaming!" It seems that Fan Yingjie has not yet recovered from the shock of the real scene in the game.
Bai Lianlian said sternly: "How can you still be happy? Have you forgotten the monster outside?" Song Jiarui nodded.
It turned out that not long after they entered the game, they were chased by the giant spider just like Yan Zhen, and now they were hiding in this cabin together, at a loss as to what to do.
The small window in the house and the door of the house were automatically locked after Yan Zhen came in. The monster outside the house rubbed its huge mouth full of sharp teeth at the window from time to time. Every time it appeared in front of the window and said "I think you are delicious", Song Jiarui couldn't help but scream.
"It seems to be an event that novice players must go through." Yan Zhen said.
"It's a must-go event for novice players." Fan Yingjie spread his hands, "But do you think that thing outside is something that newcomers like us can handle?"
Yan Zhen said: "In the game, the first kill of a novice is a fixed plot kill. Either we are already dead, or the game has other ideas. You know, it is meaningless to use a high-level monster to kill a novice at the beginning. From the time it appeared to the time we escaped into this wooden house, it was the game that guided us into this hiding place."
"so what?"
Yan Zhen said, "I think there must be some mystery. We just haven't discovered it yet." He smiled, "Don't worry, everyone will be fine."
His tone was very calm and composed, showing that he was confident. The expressions of Fan Yingjie and Bai Lianlian relaxed slightly, and even Song Jiarui, who was still frightened, calmed down a little.
Next, Yan Zhen and others checked the cabin. There were not many furnishings inside the cabin, only a table and a bench in the middle, and a fireplace with flickering fire on the other side of the house.
There is nothing else.
"Nothing." Bai Lianlian said. Fan Yingjie, who was lying on the ground looking around, raised his head and shook his head at Yan Zhen, indicating that he found nothing.
Yan Zhen took a few steps on the spot and began to think. There was nothing worth noting in the room, so why did they lead us into the cabin?
He glanced at the door of the cabin. The big spider was blocked outside the cabin by the door. It had been circling the cabin from the beginning, and from time to time it would show its sharp teeth at the window to express its warm concern for the four people in the cabin. However, it really couldn't get in for a while.
"We were led into the cabin so that we could have a safe place to take a breath and think." Yan Zhen walked around the room. "There are no props or items in the room to provide any clues, which means that the key to the problem lies with ourselves."
He turned around and asked Fan Yingjie and the others, "Did you get anything extra after entering the game?"
Fan Yingjie took out an apple, and Song Jiarui and Bai Lianlian followed suit. "It's the same for everyone. This beginner's pack is really bad. There's not even a weapon." Yan Zhen came to the window, "There must be something we haven't noticed."
Bai Lianlian mocked, "Detective Yan, you said a lot at the beginning, but we haven't seen any substantial progress so far."
Fan Yingjie played with the apple in his hand without saying a word.
Song Jiarui raised her head and said, "Look, it's raining outside."
It was pouring outside, and the raindrops soon became a white mist. The sound of the raindrops made a humming sound under the strong wind. The big raindrops hit the window sill and glass, splashing water. The big spider outside the wooden house made a dull hissing sound.
"I see." Yan Zhen said, "It's a clear indication."
Bai Lianlian also noticed it, and she let out a soft "ah".
Fan Yingjie said: "What are you talking about?"
Yan Zhen picked up a wooden stool and kicked the door open.
In the blink of an eye, the giant spider hissed and approached, raising its sharp limbs towards him.
