"Okay." Wu Chen informed Bailiyan and others again.
Along the way, there are many skyscrapers.
Seemingly densely arranged, every opportunity is found. However, energy shield fluctuations similar to those seen during customs clearance are everywhere. The fluctuations are especially noticeable when crossing a street between two skyscrapers. Intelligent brain judgment. Although they are both in the sci-fi faction spiral plot zone. However, each skyscraper has its own distinct branch plot lines. To put it concretely, each skyscraper is a plot fragment carried by a player.
Although they are seamlessly spliced together, they form the main plot line-a sci-fi spiral belt. However, each skyscraper belongs to its own player and is an independent plot fragment.
The Broken City is exactly what it sounds like. It seems like a whole, but in fact the entire world is composed of "fragments" carried by players.
Later, Zhinao search found it. The so-called "skyscraper". Without exception, they are all vehicles from various science fiction plot worlds.
It may be a land aircraft, an aerospace shuttle, or even a spaceship or a space battleship. As a creation of shelter, "skyscraper" also has a common name: exclusive shelter.
As known before. In the world of shelters, exclusive shelters are the prerequisite for all player activities. Use exclusive shelters to travel through various story worlds, and you can obtain rule shelters and punishment exemptions.
Regardless of transactions, interactions, obtaining intelligence and information, or even recruiting and firing plot characters, all can be performed in the exclusive shelter. The process of obtaining exclusive shelter is called "homogenization." To put it simply, it is to transfer the creations from the plot world to the sanctuary world. The process of transfer is also popularly called by players as "removal". The architect, Mr. Zero, would describe it very poetically as, "turning into stars."
The definition of exclusive shelter is very broad. It can be a car, a cruise ship, a hotel, a castle, or even a continent or a planet. Because in the high-dimensional creation world - "Sanctuary", in the eyes of Master Zero, the architect, there is no difference between the length, width, height and even the three dimensions themselves.
In short, this gathering place for redemption players is a fragmented world.
The team parked in a temporary parking space on the street. After the four people got off the car, a group of parking drones lifted the team's vehicle into the skyscraper apron.
In front of the four of them, the skyscraper with the street number "9 Nathan Road" is 1,600 meters high. From bottom to top, it forms a perfect isosceles triangle:
It is equipped with various weapons such as Taim & Bak XX-9 heavy-duty supercharged laser cannon x 60, Brost NK-7 ion cannon x 60, Ferron Q7 tractor beam x 10, etc., and has a crew of more than 36,000 people. , and can accommodate 72 TIE/IN space superiority starfighters, 8 Lambda-class T-4A shuttles, 20 AT-AT walkers, 30 AT-ST or AT-DP walkers, and 15 Imperial vehicles The Imperial Type I Star Destroyer, a troop carrier, comes from the story world of "Star Wars". It was removed by a big player and turned into an exclusive shelter. In Broken City again, the file was successfully raised. Arranged vertically at 9 Nathan Road, it becomes a skyscraper.
In order to save space, the thinnest ship spine is used to face the street. Each cabin within the hull has also undergone vertical transformation. Match existing posture.
Yes, just as Zhi Nao judged before. Almost all the skyscrapers in the sci-fi spiral are spaceships and space battleships from various plot worlds! They all have a common name: Exclusive Sanctuary!
Looking up at the Empire I Star Destroyer skyscraper, there are advertisements for rent everywhere. Wu Chen had a question: "As for it?"
Zhi Nao Ai gave a convincing answer through fuzzy calculation: "Master, like the protective mask on the road of destruction of 404, as long as you enter this world, you must always fight against fragmentation and annihilation. That means that you are everywhere all the time. Consume asylum coins. Even big players need to earn enough asylum coins to maintain this skyscraper and prevent it from being shattered along with the plot."
"It makes sense." Wu Chen understood. To put it simply, the seemingly complete Four Series Spiral and Broken City are actually made up of small pieces of "player fragments". The fragments carried by players are carried in exclusive shelters. The skyscrapers that Wu Chen and others saw were actually pieces of debris.
For example, the 9 Nathan Road skyscraper in front of us is a piece of pieced together fragments (Star Destroyer) in a recycling bin (Broken City). Players who own it can only maintain their existence by continuously accumulating and consuming resource points and not being deleted by the system (the architect).
Asylum coins are the only manifestation of resource points.
Think again. The fragmented world structure can ensure that the broken city will not be destroyed to the greatest extent.
The principle is like a gecko's "cutting off its tail to survive". Whenever destruction comes. The player who runs out of asylum coins first will be separated from the city along with the (branch plot) fragments he carries, and will be destroyed first. Specifically, if the big player occupying this place runs out of asylum coins and is shattered along with the Imperial I-type Star Destroyer, then the vacant Nathan Road 9 slot will be filled by new players with exclusive shelters. And so on.
This is also the true meaning of "fragmentation". It might as well be regarded as the shelter version of "natural selection, survival of the fittest". The weakest "fragments" will be eliminated first. Such continuous rotation does not harm the main body of the city.
What Wu Chen has to do is actually very simple. First settle down, then keep making progress until you reach the top. Break the doomed fate and return to the sanctuary. Complete redemption. To use an inappropriate metaphor: As long as you are faster than your companions, you can escape from a tiger's mouth.
As for when he can return to the shelter, Wu Chen still doesn't know.
Inviting four people to sit around the bar, the waitress was attentive and said: "Okay, 4 portions of Hawker barbecue, 4 portions of Baluru spring rolls, and 4 cups of mocha coffee." The young and beautiful waitress smiled and said: "Do you want to try it?" Traveler’s package. Only 1 coin.”
"That's fine." Wu Chenke followed suit.
The minimum consumption for a meal is 1 coin.
When the package was delivered, the waitress informed everyone that it would only cost ten coins to book the package for one month. And we are always on hand to deliver meals to your door. However, the four of them were short of money, and the limited shelter coins still needed to be used wisely. Only politely refuse.
The waitress laughed it off without forcing it.
After a good meal, he asked about things in the city. The waitress immediately led everyone to the second floor: "Master, we have a new guest."
The second floor is more like a player salon. Looking around, the booths on the first floor have been replaced by groups of circular sofas. Vending machines are only found in the 404 roundabout expressway service area, and can be found everywhere on the second floor. At the corner of the stairs, inside the wrap-around bar facing the holographic street view curtain wall of Nathan Road. A handsome young man first smiled at everyone and said, "Good day, everyone."
"Good day, Boss Chu." Wu Chen had learned the last name of the coffee shop owner from Zhinao. What he didn't know was that the entire Mocha Cafe was the central bridge of the vertically standing Empire I-type Star Destroyer.
Young people who can rent the entire bridge are either rich or noble.
"Excuse me, Boss Chu, where should we start?" Wu Chen felt a natural affinity with the coffee shop owner in front of him, who seemed to be about the same age as himself.
“First, start with food, clothing, housing and transportation.” Coffee shop owners are already familiar with similar problems. For novice players in the Broken City, Boss Chu has almost completely replaced the architect Zero, taking over the important task of guiding the newcomers: "'In the Broken City, fragments gather; all the time, no coins are enough.' Earn asylum coins as much as possible , maintaining daily consumption is almost the only way to ensure that it will not be cleared when the ‘cleanup day’ comes.”
"Cleaning day?" Bailiyan couldn't help but frown.
"As you can see, this 'broken city' in front of you has long been torn to pieces. Every twelve shelter days (peace days), there will be a cleanup. Every one hundred and twenty shelter days, there will be a cleanup. A big purge. Players call it 'Purge Day'. Players who have exhausted their asylum coins and cannot maintain their respective branch plot lines will be purged first."
"Similar to Judgment Day." The male player understood.
"You can say that." Boss Chu nodded lightly.
"So everyone, the first pot of gold is very important." The waitress on the side said with a crooked smile.
