"Is this the city..."
Qiu Yu, who only wore ordinary casual clothes, stood by the window on the third floor of a slightly old villa, which was also the top floor, quietly observing this city that was different from what he imagined.
It's not high-tech, nor is there anything weird. It's just a city similar to the real world. The only difference is that this city is too quiet, like a ghost town.
Qiu Yu looked away from the window and glanced at the three people lying on the floor. The ability to sense contagion unfolds. A large amount of data gathered into Qiu Yu's brain like water. Not only was the physical condition of the three people completely analyzed in an instant, but their awakening time was even predicted to the second.
The three of them are all ordinary people, and there is nothing special about them. But just because they are too ordinary, Qiu Yu can be sure that they are not participants in the destruction game.
NPCs in this world? The supervisor brought in a temporary guest appearance? The product of the other party’s civilization exchange? Mission role?
There is no definite information, and inversely proportional to that there are nearly infinite possibilities.
"It would be great if the exchange was for real-time strategy. Now you can immediately use civilization points to exchange for game information." This thought flashed through Qiu Yu's mind for a moment. But he forgot about it in the next moment.
Qiu Yu sometimes regrets, because as long as it is managed properly, regret can also become a kind of strength. It's just that he never wastes time on regrets. What's more, it's far from saving a thousand civilization points now, which is something to regret.
If he didn't intervene, there would still be seven minutes and thirty-five seconds left before the first person to wake up. Using this time, Qiu Yu sorted out the known information.
Nearly eleven hours ago, Qiu Yu chose the city as the game scene based on the principle of maximizing profits. But this is just the beginning of a chain of civilization point consumption.
The city is just the type, and the next step is to determine the size. They are remote mountain villages, micro-villages, ordinary towns, medium-sized towns, large cities, prosperous giant cities, world capitals, and unprecedented countries.
Except for remote mountain villages, all of them need to be exchanged for civilization points. One point for a micro-village, five points for an ordinary town, and ten points for a medium-sized town. So far it's still acceptable. But Qiu Yu's plan is to build a comprehensive base, so it is naturally impossible to go to those remote areas with few buildings. Moreover, the option of city has resulted in very little space for activities. If a village is used as the game location, let alone fighting, it may be difficult for thousands of people to even stand in the Tower of Civilization.
But it's like going against Qiu Yu's plan. The exchange price of large cities suddenly climbed to 200 points, the prosperous giant city was 1100 points, the capital of the world was 8600 points, and the so-called unprecedented country actually cost a full 100,000 points.
After some weighing, Qiu Yu chose the prosperous giant city. The civilization points were thus reduced to 1,548 points.
Next are options such as climate environment, population quality, urban conditions, etc. Naturally, the more favorable the exchange price, the higher the price. Fortunately, this setting is not used to kill civilizations that are in short supply of civilization points. Just like remote mountain villages are free. In terms of climate, severe climate disasters are common. In terms of population quality, the rampage of thugs is free; in terms of urban conditions, long-term desolation is free...
There may be free goodies in other places, but in the game of destruction...at least Qiu Yu has not seen them. And the names of those free things are scary just by the sound of them. Rather than saying "free", it's more like reminding you that you need to use civilization points to deal with those disasters.
Qiu Yu had to spend one to five civilization points on each item to eliminate the disaster. When all the options were completed, there were only 1,400 civilization points left, and he only got one that looked different from all aspects. An extremely ordinary city.
In the following time, Qiuyu withdrew 60 survival points from a public account selling game experience and exchanged them for agility enhancement and physical fitness enhancement. I originally planned to withdraw some more and buy something to store in the inherent space, but I was told by the regulator that the reason why the inherent space is called the inherent space is because the inherent space is bound to the user. Strictly speaking, Qiu Yu's inherent space is bound to the mind control body called the skill of skill. Qian Xiao is better, both his body and mind control body have inherent space. However, both of them were unable to use the inherent space because they were using new mental bodies in the next game.
However, just as the regulators of the Destiny Clan can solve this small problem, the regulators of the earth's civilization are also capable of solving it, but the price that needs to be paid is far beyond what Qiuyu can afford, so Qiuyu had to give up this problem, which may be enough to reverse the situation. The convenient power of game outcomes.
The rest of the time, Qiu Yu spent all his time memorizing the almost endless exchange of civilization points in this game. Until the moment before the game starts, there are only three notes left.
First, if you disperse after entering the game, go to the center of the city to meet up while ensuring your own safety. Why? Because the center point is the closest to anywhere.
Second, according to previous experience, this city is likely to be the future base, so try not to cause damage here. If residents exist, every effort must be made to protect them.
Third, do not use force first. The advantage of this is that when facing intelligent enemies, you will not expose yourself prematurely and cause hostility.
But the third of these is for others.
Even after redeeming the full level of agility and physical fitness, even after finding a way to use the spread of perception in combat, Qiu Yu still lacks self-confidence. So when it comes to him, the approach in Article 3 is not a matter of force...
There are still thirty seconds until the first person wakes up. Qiu Yu walked over carefully, closed his eyes and lay next to them.
What suits Akiyu is to completely integrate into this world.
"Ah, my head hurts...ah...hey, are you okay?"
The first person to wake up shook the people around him in panic, and then remembered to check his heartbeat and breathing. After confirming that the other person was still alive, he checked Qiu Yu and the other person separately.
It can be judged from this behavior that he is not familiar with the environment or other people. This made Qiu Yu feel at ease a lot.
After all this tossing, everyone woke up one after another.
In this inexplicable environment, the first person to wake up is naturally the most suspicious person. So it is logical that Qiu Yu and Hou Xing formed a natural alliance to be wary of this person who may be a kidnapper.
"For God's sake, you have to believe me. I only woke up less than a minute before you. And do you think I can kidnap three people by myself?"
The others observed it and after confirming that there was no fifth person here, they reluctantly accepted his statement. Next is the mutual introduction of the four people. Regardless of whether it is true or false, the more you understand the other person in this situation, the more secure you will feel in your heart.
The person who woke up first, as the object of suspicion, first introduced himself, "My name is Mattley, and I am a doctor."
The second person continued, "Ivan, university lecturer."
The third person was a woman. Seeing that Qiu Yu showed grace at such an inappropriate time and gave priority to women, she smiled bitterly and said, "I am Yui Inoue, just call me Inoue. I am currently unemployed."
"My name is Qiu Yu. I am a student by profession."
Qiu Yu frowned as he spoke. No matter how you look at these three people, they are all typical Asians. The first person said that his name was Mattley and he could be considered an overseas Chinese. It's a bit strange that the second person has a foreign name like Ivan. But it seems that no one else has any unusual reaction to these foreign names. When the third name was announced, Qiu Yu felt a sense of disharmony all over his body. A European, an American, a Russian, a Japanese, plus a Chinese, is this implying something? And the coordination doesn’t end there. Why do you only report your name and occupation? Generally speaking, whether it is to eliminate other people's hostility or express one's goodwill, you should say a few more words, right?
"Do you still remember how you got here?" Qiu Yu guided several people to exchange more information.
Mattley pressed his temples hard, "I'm also wondering, how did I get here?"
Ivan looked at Qiu Yu and Inoue, "I can't remember anything."
Inoue pursed his lips and shook his head vigorously.
"I just remember that before I came here, I seemed to be..." Qiu Yu squatted on the ground holding his head, looking like he was thinking in pain.
Seeing Qiu Yu squatting down and not speaking for a long time, Matli coughed, "Maybe it's a little strange to say this... but in fact, don't say how you got here, except for your name and your occupation. Except for that, I can’t remember anything else.”
"Okay. Me too." Ivan seemed relieved.
"Mass kidnapping plus mass amnesia!"
Inoue also indirectly expressed his situation. As for Qiu Yu, he was still squatting on the ground, and it seemed that there was no need to ask.
"What should we do now? Call the police?"
"Then which one of you has a cell phone? Except for my clothes, everything is missing. Well...although I can't remember what I'm missing."
"Let's look around the house first."
After a brief discussion, Qiu Yu also stood up and joined the search that was destined to be fruitless.
This villa is not small, with an area of nearly 200 square meters per floor. In addition to the upper three floors, there is also a basement. Although the house looks a bit old, the interior is quite modern and all appliances are complete. Only a light layer of dust indicates that no one has lived here for a short period of time.
In a bedroom on the second floor, he found a mobile phone whose brand Qiuyu couldn't recognize. Several people cheered because their mobile phones still had power, and then sighed when they found out that there was no signal.
Qiu Yu was looking for something different from them from the beginning. When the three of them were at a loss about their future destiny, Qiu Yu found a city map on the wall of an adjacent room.
This map takes up an entire wall. But even so, the text on the map is still small and difficult to read. Only the words "Taishan City" on the map and the words "One to One Hundred Thousand" in the lower right corner are more eye-catching.
Qiu Yu felt dizzy, one to a hundred thousand! This means that this is a super city with a length of more than 300 kilometers from east to west, more than 250 kilometers from north to south, and a total area of more than 70,000 square kilometers!
