"Sang Jin, you have put your heart and soul into this group, and I will continue to maintain it. I can assure you that whenever you come back, this place will still be the same, and I will still be here."
The team leader suddenly spoke, with a smile and a gentle tone.
"Team leader, I'm not really to that extent."
"Yes, but you, and these few, you have to remember one thing. In a place like the distribution center, people who are corrupted by the gentleness of peace and finally die or get lost because they lose their fighting spirit may appear in every scene. I I hope that when any of you face such a situation, you can carefully examine your own heart to see whether it is the choice you made, or whether the environment caused you to change... I will never accept the subtle comfort of the distribution center, and you... …Hopefully, I’ll be able to think about it more.”
This is the second person to say this to Lu Ning in a few days.
"Do you think so too?"
The team leader glanced at Lu Ning and then nodded.
"No one of the new generation of tourists, including me, has experienced what happened back then. During my lifetime, I have seen people who have forgotten the pain of war for three generations, even if the devastation is still left on their motherland. . If we can still learn about the past from historical records and from the people who have lived through the war, then what happens when these are gone? Those who come after will only think that this is a peaceful soil. However, with the nature of a distribution center It seems that this place has nothing to do with peace." The team leader said solemnly, "Therefore, no matter who they are, as long as they are not my enemies, I will advise them - don't forget the original goal and don't forget to resist. "
"Team leader, did you talk too much?" Sang Jin asked.
"It doesn't matter, it won't hurt to talk about it, and what the distribution center wants is someone who knows this." The team leader sneered.
"I understand, thank you for your guidance, senior." Fujii Yukine said, "We will not lose our fighting spirit because of peace. No matter what, we will definitely move forward. I think this fifth-level distribution center is a new opportunity. Maybe we can use this to get a glimpse of some of the distribution center’s true intentions.”
"Keep it in your heart, don't say it out loud." The team leader laughed again, "You will do better. I believe this."
Even though Lu Ning had never met this team leader before, she strangely felt that he really meant what he said and it was not just a casual comment.

The trip is over, and a moment of indulgence cannot change the fact that everyone will continue to struggle in the distribution center. Ning Yeyi, Ai Lanyin, Watanabe Yuanzi and others entered the scene one after another within the next week, and Lu Ning also started to make some preparations.
Shitong told her that in this scene, she might encounter something more "special", and no matter how she thought about it, it was definitely not a good thing. And this time we even have to bring two new people along, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the scene.
Now that the reading restriction of the fourth-level scene of the Rosicrucian information has been opened for her, she can see many previous strategies for the fourth-level scene. As expected, most of the fourth-level losses came from some heartbreaking scene content. While the death rate dropped, people who were not prepared to come back began to occupy the main part.
The descriptions of some scenes even made Lu Ning feel moved - divine status, authority, military power, magical secrets... Even though the tourists have the psychological quality to withstand the huge psychological gap caused by the disappearance of power, they are unwilling to give up. What you have already obtained in your hands is almost an innate instinct of human beings. It is fine once, but if it accumulates, it may really cause some people to have psychological problems, right?
[He is governing his country with all his heart. He wants to become a wise king. He does not want to come back. 】
[If I stay, I can become the god of a small world, and be the supreme and only god here. What’s the point of returning to the distribution center that allows me to return to normality again? 】
[I will lead this fleet of starships to the edge of the universe. This starry sky lit by billions of stars is a dream I have had since childhood. Thanks to the distribution center, I can finally have it. 】
[The whisper from the elves in my ears... If I stay here, with my strength, I can live for more than a thousand years, and I can listen to the singing of the elements to my heart's content. But going back? Go back...where can we go? People who specialize in magic can easily die in technological scenes. I’m tired...]
Recorded by others, spoken by oneself, almost every file contains the last words of some people. Rosicrucian records all of this and does not provide any judgment, just for reference. Lu Ning has read about everyone's disappearance and examined herself from the inside, wondering if she could still pass such a test if she were in the same situation.
Doing this kind of thing made Lu Ning feel a little dizzy for the next few days. She could even dream about herself falling into those scenes while sleeping and facing some difficult choices.
"Your mental state is so bad!"
When Fujii Yukine came to see her, she found that Lu Ning looked a little bad.
"Well……"
"The only thing that can affect people in the distribution center is their mental state. How can you still cause problems for yourself at home?" Fujii Yukine hurriedly dragged Lu Ning out of the house. Lu Ning looked outside in a daze, and slowly felt a sense of being grounded. Then, under Fujii's repeated questioning, he honestly explained the situation in the past few days.
"...Is this the reason why you can't sleep?"
"I slept okay, but I had a lot of dreams..."
"That's not a good night's sleep!"
Gentle people can be scary when they get serious. Lu Ning was lucky enough to see Fujii's more severe side. However, after some health education, Fujii turned the topic back to the crux.
"Why do you worry about so many things in advance? Those are the paths that others ultimately choose. Does it have anything to do with you? Lu Ning, if you don't face your own test, how will you know what can really shake your heart?"
"...Ah, what you said makes sense." Lu Ning said in a daze.
"Anyway, the issue you have to consider now is the next scene! Now go out with me to relax and get rid of all the messy things in your mind!"
"I know, I know." Lu Ning also felt that she seemed to be a little too nervous about the fourth level because of what Shitong and the team leader said, and she had to adjust it, otherwise she would not be able to lead the next game in this state. Newcomer.
In the next few days, with the help of Fujii, Lu Ning adjusted her mentality, and then studied the information of the two newcomers more carefully. It has to be said that the more she read, the more she felt that these two people might be taking over. The time I came down brought me many "surprises".
So when the day came for her to set out, she recognized the two people she was going to take with her almost at first sight.
As described in the information, Guo Xiao is a tall man, looks particularly enthusiastic on the outside, and has an approachable smile. If she had not read some of his experience information, Lu Ning felt that she would not be able to tell what kind of person he is on the inside. .
Qu Yi is cold and in line with her character. No, it's not that exact. Her eyes are scrutinizing and judgmental, her behavior is polite, and her tone is not aggressive. At first glance, she looks like the kind of slightly There are some people who are afraid of society, but in fact that is not the case at all.
As expected, the two of them also recognized Lu Ning and showed courtesy to Lu Ning with their respective external personalities. Lu Ning returned the favor with the same normal attitude. She knew that this mutual "interview" had already begun.
"Senior, please go first." When he arrived at the place where he received the next scene trial, Qu Yi gave way, his meaning was very obvious. Lu Ning nodded and stepped over. The process of receiving it was still exactly the same as before. She took out her envelope, but this time she paused subconsciously when she opened it.
In addition to the ordinary arrangement letters, the contents inside also contained a blank certificate, which was like a work permit and had been sealed. If nothing unexpected happened, the corresponding content would be displayed on it when she entered the scene.
"Oh? It seems that you have received something unusual. But the distribution center often gives us some little surprises, right?" Guo Xiao laughed, "That's not bad. If every scene has the same entry process, then it would be too much. Even though I’m bored, I still like these surprises provided by the distribution center.”
"Then, it's your turn." Lu Ning made a comparison.
"Ladies first." Guo Xiao gave way in a gentlemanly manner, but there was no difference. The envelope they both received contained a work ID of their own.
"It seems that we will definitely enter the same scene." Qu Yi played with the work permit and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "I have never encountered a situation where the distribution center engages in information fraud on this kind of thing."
"The target location...Swan Velvet Vehicle Rental Center!" Guo Xiao looked at the contents on the envelope, "I have been to that place and rented an off-road vehicle before when I went on an adventure in the wild. Haha, what a fate. How about I lead the way?”
"Okay." Lu Ning smiled, "This will save us a lot of time."
At the entrance of the Swan Velvet Vehicle Rental Center, there are two mushrooms more than two meters high with a swan-shaped structure on the umbrella. Needless to say, this place must be named after this. Guo Xiao showed the envelope and walked inside with a familiarity. When Lu Ning followed and walked in, she felt that the space seemed to have some fluctuations.
Just like before entering the past of the dead country, the tourists who gathered together did not come from the same distribution center, but they could all see it. The distribution center here took the initiative to apply the method that Lu Ning used when he held an upgrade meeting at the first level, connecting the spaces of tourists from different distribution centers together.
"Hello! Hello everyone, I am the waiter responsible for guiding you this time. You can call me Lens!"
A waiter with a camera head was cheerfully standing next to a large white camera truck, waving his arms.
"Hi! You are quite lively. It is rare to see such a lively waiter." Guo Xiao burst out laughing. "Is this scene difficult? Miss waiter, do you want to explain it to me more?"
"Oh, this is against the rules. Please don't assign genders to us without authorization. We actually don't have your gender distinction." The waiter waved his hand gently, "But because you are so curious, tell me quietly. Just say oh, this time it’s the modern scene you’re talking about!”
Isn't this the same as not saying anything? I already have a work permit, so it’s definitely not an ancient or high-tech scene.
Lu Ning looked aside helplessly and found that three other tourists were already waiting there. A girl with short hair, who looked younger than Lu Ning, was wearing wide, long-sleeved clothes and bell-bottom pants with no sense of style, and even carried a travel backpack. The second man was a man about forty years old, wearing a dark blue suit and a strange tie. The purple tie was neatly arranged with a row of silver vortexes, and he had a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. The third person was a woman about forty or fifty years old with some gray hair. Lu Ning's first impression was that she was really tall, maybe about 1.9 meters tall, and her age still couldn't change her strict look. The breath even got a little heavier.
"Please get to know each other! Maybe you will get along well in the next time!" the camera said happily.
"Hello everyone, my name is Guo Xiao. It looks like we will be companions from now on." Guo Xiao greeted directly.
"Hello, my name is An Youxi, nice to meet you." The man in the suit stretched out his hand and shook Guo Xiao's hand. He was very calm, at least on the surface he seemed to be the kind of person who could give his teammates a sense of security.
"My name is Lu Ning." Lu Ning introduced herself. The strict woman nodded: "Ke Daolin, if it is not a confrontational scene, I hope we can cooperate well."
Finally, after Qu Yi introduced himself, the short-haired girl also said with some trepidation: "My name is Mei Yu, the Mei Yu in the plum rain season... I am a newcomer to the fourth level, um... please take care of me..."
The eyes of the other people flickered slightly, noncommittal.
Newcomer?
Seriously, where are the newcomers at Level 4?
