When she returned to her residence, Su Zhilan was not there. It seemed that she had gone to the next testing site. Cheng Wuling seemed to be ready for bed, sitting on the bed reading a book in gray pajamas.
"Something happened?"
"Meet a dreamer." Lu Ning replied, and Shu Xingruo happily walked into the kitchen to prepare food.
"You killed a lot of people this time, including people I'm already familiar with."
"Lan Yushu, Sun Mozhu? Yuan Xi and the others died indirectly under my plan. After all, I had planned to destroy the pursuers from the beginning."
Cheng Wuling put a bookmark in the book.
"Are you ready to avenge them now?"
"I kind of think about it." Lu Ning crossed her arms and sat on her bed, looking gloomy.
"People establish relationships because of friendship, and they have more connections because of relationships. Under the influence of the six-dimensional space theory, friendship, love, and family affection are produced together with hatred, jealousy, and disgust. Many people are trapped in the world where you kill them. My friend, I am in a series of seeking revenge from you." Cheng Wuling said, "I don't object to you seeking revenge from me when you have the opportunity, but don't blame me for killing you when I find that you are not good for me."
"You don't seem to care about that."
"It is unnecessary to be hindered by the chains of interpersonal relationships. For example, if I keep moving forward, those who try to seek revenge from me will probably have a hard time seeing me again. The so-called hatred It’s just a joke.”
She closed the book.
"I gave Luo Lin a chance because he might be able to catch up. When we go to drink coffee tomorrow, I will let you know more about the difference the level of this place can make."
"You really don't just want to drink coffee."
"Some things don't need to be explained clearly."
===============================
A restful sleep has great benefits for relaxing the mind.
Lu Ning turned over, and a scent of fragrance wafted into her nose, which cheered her up and immediately got up.
Shu Xingruo and Cheng Wulin were already sitting at the small dining table. Breakfast was obviously prepared by the two of them together. A pot of noodles cooked with shredded beef and chicken, two golden poached eggs, and almost transparent siomai on the inside of the basket. Five or six kinds of pickles, and even a few freshly baked noodles.
"I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about cooking." came Shu Xingruo's voice.
"When you live in a dormitory, there will always be times when you want to eat but can't find it." Cheng Wuling picked up the chopsticks, took out a piece of Shaomai, and put it on the small plate in front of him, waiting for it to cool down a little. "But isn't being a star very busy?"
"I'm very busy on the front line. But I'm not the most popular. I still travel every year. When I eat a lot, I want to make it myself. Being so leisurely makes many people anxious for me, haha."
"I really envy your life."
"Stop saying polite words." Shu Xingruo took a deep breath, "Are you really not going to get up and have something to eat? Lu Ning?"
"Wait for me two minutes!"
Lu Ning rushed into the bathroom and started washing up quickly.
Nothing seems to have changed, people are still interacting in the usual way, and it even seems to be more harmonious.
After eating, the three of them left the dormitory building.
There is no sun or clouds in the distribution center during the day, but the sky is very bright, and the bright blue color makes people feel relaxed and happy just by looking at it. Under the leadership of Cheng Wulin, Lu Ning discovered that she had overlooked many things before.
Although the main functional buildings were introduced before, the area of the distribution center is not small compared to the number of people. There are various buildings lined up in rows, and I have never been inside them all before.
Cheng Wuling had obviously visited it a long time ago.
"The trading chain [Black Cloak], you can buy some very useful tools here, including cold weapons, ranging from rough ancient smelting to future space metal alloys."
"Firearms specializes in [gunpowder technology], firearms, bombs, self-propelled artillery, fully automatic intelligent robots, unmanned bombers, cruise missiles, nuclear weapons, anti-matter thrusters, space cruisers, space carriers..."
"Biology Medical Center [Human Close-up], basic internal and external treatment drugs, stimulant analgesics, biotoxins, gene optimization drugs, gene adapter transplant surgery, silicon-based replacement, apocalyptic virus..."
"Magic Shop [Witch's Crucible], potions, scrolls, charged staffs, enchanted weapons, magic crystals, magic cannons, forbidden magic books, magic tools, runes, spells, demonology, summoning from the underworld , life form changes, divine personality condensation..."
"Wait—wait!"
As she became more and more exaggerated, Lu Ning couldn't help but stop immediately.
"I remember asking one of the staff here before that we can't get any reinforcements here..."
Cheng Wuling lowered his hand pointing at each shop.
"I'm just telling you what's out there, first of all we can't afford the price of this stuff right now and secondly most of it can't be brought into the testing field."
"ah?"
"These are put here so that we can 'adapt'. Because we can obtain various special powers in the test field, this place gives you an opportunity to experience it in advance. If you happen to encounter one that you have used Ability, the speed of mastering it is naturally much faster than others..."
Lu Ning immediately understood the key.
"But that's just gambling on luck, isn't it?"
"but……"
Shu Xingruo asked slightly confused.
"You just said, most of it?"
"That's right, we're here."
Cheng Wuling stopped outside a small and exquisite coffee shop.
The pure white signboard has the words "Lewie Havonie" written in brown cursive letters. Two small blackboards with the day's special menu are placed outside. Through the transparent glass door, you can see the clean and tidy classical Western-style decoration inside. , a bar counter is at the end corner, and standing there is a young man wearing a black suit.
Cheng Wuling pushed open the door and entered.
The wind chimes rang, and the man said "Welcome" with a smile on his face.
"There are three of us, Aman. By the way, I want a suite."
"Number 210, would you like to order now or in the room?"
"First send three cups of Black Bell upstairs, and we will call for service if there is anything later."
"Okay, here is your key, guest."
The man took out a card and handed it into Cheng Wuling's hand. He smiled politely at Lu Ning and Shu Xingruo behind him and watched them turn the corner and go upstairs.
As soon as you get to the second floor, you will feel like you are in a different world.
Lu Ning would never have thought that this small store with less than fifty square meters below would look like a hotel above.
The brown carpet perfectly eliminates the sound of excessive footsteps. The doors of each room are protected by "concave" walls, and the walls are made of porous sound insulation materials, which fully avoids the generation of noise.
Cheng Wuling took them to 210. After entering, they were greeted by a large, spacious room. One wall was entirely covered with a projection screen. Now there was a clear sky view of the beach and the sea. It was introduced from the remote control placed on a coffee table. By looking at this wall, you can change the scenery you want to see at will, and the air conditioning system in the room will also change the temperature, humidity and even smell according to the scenery, bringing you the most perfect experience.
"Luxury."
Shu Xingruo lay down on the sofa, his whole body sank in, and he couldn't help but let out a happy sigh.
"Cheng Wuling, isn't it expensive?"
"I don't have any money worries." Cheng Wuling changed the scenery to the grassland, then took out a bunch of ice water from the freezer on the side and brought it over with the cup.
"Then I'm ashamed to be a rich man like you." Shu Xingruo took the water, turned around and saw a black smooth ball placed in front of a circle of sofas, probably where a TV or something.
"this is……"
"Stereoscopic projection, this is what I brought you here to see." Cheng Wuling walked over and touched the ball. A beam of light shot out from the top, showing several squares in the air, followed by a pleasant sound. A female voice came: "Inquiry system No. B732-210 is at your service."
"Query? Is this different from the ones in the information center?"
"Ah... do you know that there are different levels of tourists?"
Cheng Wuling did not answer, but asked a question.
"class?"
"No, not class distinctions as we know them, but hierarchy, or to put it another way...permissions."
Lu Ning and Shu Xingruo shook their heads together.
"Then, let me show you first. The system displays the details of the mission [Seeker of the Holy Code]."
Then, large squares appeared in the air. Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, but still didn't understand.
"Hey... these are all cubes." Shu Xingruo also said from the side.
Cheng Wuling nodded and continued: "Then change to another one and show the recorded information about [Cheng Wuling]."
This time, although there were still many squares in the air, some words appeared.
[Cheng Wuling, female, died at the age of 21
Birth universe number █3-█████
Current tourist class: 1
Current visitor level: Level █
Potential rating: Excellent
Experience scenes: Ghost Villa, Seeker of the Holy Code
Bias: ██
Brief biography: ███……]
"This...is your...personal information?"
"All I see are words. Some of them are fine for me to tell you, but others I can't even say. For example, my current level is level █." Cheng Wuling said.
"What? Wait, you mean the level is confidential information?"
"It is kept secret from everyone except myself. I cannot say it, write it, or tell others in any way. Only I can know how much it is. In this way, even if I don't tell you, you know how important it is, right?"
"That means……"
"At level █, I can see part of the details of the [Seeker of the Sacred Code] mission, but you can't see it at all. When I asked Su Zhilan to help me look at it before, she could only see my name, gender, age, Reviews and stuff like that are all cubes.”
When Cheng Wuling said this, he canceled his message in the air and asked a question.
"So, what's the difference between us?"
The answer to this question couldn't be more obvious.
Score.
"So, so the higher the score... the more..."
"That's right, I also found a person who didn't score more than 1,000 in the previous task to test. What do you think the result is?"
Cheng Wuling knocked on the black ball.
"He couldn't even start the machine."
Failure to start means that the most basic qualifications for accessing information from here are not available.
"These things cannot be checked in libraries or information centers, but in these leisure and entertainment places, as long as you are willing to spend some money to pay the price of a private room, you can check them. I believe it is not just me who knows this, but this It didn’t seem to be widely publicized.”
If you think about it carefully, this is normal.
Lu Ning saw the price list. A private room was priced at 100 cents per hour. This was not a price that low-income people could afford. This alone was enough to dissuade many people. And even if they grit their teeth and squeeze out a hundred percent to get here, some people can't even open the machine, and if they can barely open it, they can only see a bunch of blocked information.
In this way, people with high scores can obtain more information from here and have a higher chance of survival, while people with low scores will become victims of such information warfare and be quickly eliminated.
