Lanmeng's business hours are different from those of Ruyi Office. It opens for business at 8:30.
When Mo Fan arrived at Lembeng, it was not yet eight o'clock. He entered the studio and saw that Sharon had finished breakfast and was exercising on the treadmill.
Sharon wore a white tight-fitting sportswear, combed her long purple hair into a high ponytail, and wore a light gray sports headband on her forehead. Her face was plump and rosy, full of youthful vitality.
It was hard for him to imagine that such a self-disciplined child was raised by An Xin.
It can be said that it is silt but not stained.
Sharon saw him coming in and waved to him, "You came early enough. I thought you wouldn't come until noon."
Mo Fan smiled and said: "I guess every player who is new to the free world will be as impatient as me."
"That's true."
Sharon ran for a while again. After the mileage reached five kilometers, she stopped the treadmill, took the towel hanging on the armrest of the treadmill, wiped her sweat and said, "You sit down first, I will be back in a moment."
While Sharon went to the fourth floor to change clothes, Mo Fan visited the Blue Dream Studio.
The workshop on the inside is filled with various tools and machinery, ranging from 3D printers, laser cutters, and small multi-function machine tools; to pliers, wrenches, electric drills and other small tools hanging all over the wall.
At first glance, it looks like you have entered a small factory, not like a hacker's network studio.
It can be seen that many of the equipment in the studio, including many things in Ruyi Office, were made by Sharon herself.
After he had roughly visited the studio on the third floor, Sharon, who had taken a shower and changed her clothes, happened to come down from the fourth floor.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the free world."
Mo Fan put on his previous sunglasses and bracelet, and just like last time, he lay on a special recliner, and his consciousness entered the free world.
The last time he entered the private space, Dayan's physical training method had opened up the barrier between the free world and reality.
When he comes in this time, he can feel his real body without entering the private space and enjoy automatic high-speed practice anytime and anywhere.
The cat dumpling transformed by Sharon was beating in front, guiding Mo Fan to the portal.
"Today, I'll take you to see something different."
"New game?"
"Virtual games are just the bottom layer of applications in the free world. Where I am going to take you, if you are lucky, you can see the highest point of the free world."
Mo Fan raised his head and looked at the canopy of trees above.
"Is it this tree?"
"No, it's a city built on trees."
Sharon selected the location - "Pantheon" on the portal's navigation machine, and then activated the portal.
The two passed through the portal and came to a huge building complex.
Each building is hundreds of meters high and magnificent. Inside it, they feel as if they have strayed into the kingdom of giants.
The styles vary from building to building, but they all have one thing in common, they are all related to religion.
Taoist temples, temples, churches, shrines...
Every building is extremely grand and luxurious, recreating the wonders in mythology.
Religious buildings of various styles gather here, and the distinctive styles collide at close range, but they do not feel inconsistent at all.
At this moment, Mo Fan felt something passing above him. He looked up at the sky and saw a white dragon hovering in the sky. Wherever it passed, it was instantly filled with dark clouds.
An eagle shuttled among the clouds, waving its wings, sending out bursts of lightning and thunder.
In less than half a minute, the sky turned from clear to thundery.
Sharon stretched out her wool-like hand, took out two umbrellas from the void, handed one to Mo Fan, and held up the other herself.
"Oops, it's a rainy day. The probability of seeing that city will be 10% lower on a rainy day. You're really unlucky."
Mo Fan held up his umbrella, looked at the direction in which the dragon and the eagle were leaving, and asked, "Where is this place?"
Sharon: "Let me take a look at the description of the scene. Well, this is a gathering place for thousands of faiths and a spiritual holy place for believers in the new era."
Mo Fan's mouth twitched, "Speak humanly."
"It's a place where people burn incense and worship Buddha in the virtual world."
Mo Fan: "Is it possible to worship Buddha in the virtual world?"
Sharon turned around with a very mocking expression on her face, "Is worshiping Buddha useful in the real world?"
Mo Fan was speechless for a moment when asked.
"Anyway, believers will comfort themselves and say that sincerity will lead to spiritual success. So in reality, is there any difference between going to a temple and entering the free world to worship the electronic Bodhisattva?"
Mo Fan looked at the huge buildings around him with their own magical power, "That's right. If I were a god or a Buddha, I would definitely prefer to stay here."
Passing through the huge outermost temple complex, the further inward you go, the wider the road becomes and the more people you can see.
The scene no longer only contains huge deserted buildings, but now has more normal-sized shops and commercial streets.
From time to time, you can see the shadow of a mythical figure about ten meters away, walking out of the huge building outside, praying for everyone, or preaching on the street.
The religions within the Pantheon include not only belief in gods in the traditional sense, but also religions that are embodied in various new era concepts.
For example, at the intersection in front of him, Mo Fan saw a huge girl wearing a miniskirt, dressed like an idol girl, with stars in her eyes. She kept blowing kisses to people passing by.
"It's a new day. Please visit the free world more and use online social platforms more. The God of Entertainment loves you."
"It's a missionary activity of the Entertainment God. This is my first time encountering it. Go quickly!"
Sharon and Mo Fan trotted all the way to the intersection. The two of them stood under the huge girl. When Mo Fan looked up, he saw the huge blue and white bowl in the sky.
The modeling details are spot on.
"It's a new day. Please visit the free world more and use online social platforms more. The God of Entertainment loves you."
As the God of Entertainment blew a kiss, pink hearts flashed above Sharon and Mo Fan's heads, and then they both received a notification.
"Being blessed by the God of Entertainment, you will receive three hours of free activities in the free world."
With a blessing worth nine hundred federal coins, a cute girl and a blue and white bowl, no wonder Sharon was so anxious.
Everyone can only receive the blessing from the God of Entertainment once. They waited for a few minutes and did not receive the second prompt.
Soon, the God of Entertainment ended her mission today. She showed a playful smile and said:
"I'm going to bring energy to believers in other areas, bye."
Looking at the huge phantom of the girl that was gradually disappearing, Mo Fan said: "This is a very good job. It makes me want to join the cult."
After watching the God of Entertainment leave, Sharon continued walking inward with Mo Fan.
From time to time, you can see the phantoms of new gods on the road, such as the God of War riding a chariot pulled by Pegasus, suddenly swooping down from the sky, and randomly selecting a lucky spectator to start a duel.
The young god with a gorgeous face and plump body, wearing a transparent silk robe, invites passers-by to the palace.
There is also the God of Science, who has white hair like a bird's nest and a big white beard like a broomstick. He always says to everyone he meets: "Believe in science. The world is material. Be materialistic and not superstitious."
Mo Fan looked at the various gods and asked: "Are these gods played by real people, or are they just a program?"
Sharon said: "They are all simulated godheads generated by AI after combining different mythological records and believers' impressions of gods. They are smarter than programs, but their intelligence is limited."
While talking, they came to the destination of their trip, a huge palace with destiny written on it.
The palace is divided into many areas, and in each area, different methods are used to divine fortune.
There are fortune tellers, fortune tellers, crystal ball players, tarot card dealers, and even the pen fairy has opened a special stall.
Mo Fan and Sharon found a temple with a relatively small number of people.
A metallic mechanical Bodhisattva has a lottery tube placed in front of him, waiting for passers-by to draw spiritual lottery tickets.
Sharon said: "Now it's time to test your luck. As long as you can draw the top lottery, I can take you to see the highest point in the free world."
