In the dark night, a medieval-style bar is hidden among the brightly lit high-rise buildings. Thousands of lights are reflected on the street, and the roar of cars can be heard in the distance, making it look lonely and empty.
Walking along an alley, Zhong Yi slowly opened the wooden door of the bar. He had two thick eyebrows and a pair of aurora-like eyes, which shone with a strange light at night, like an abyss, both real and illusory. .
As the general manager of a branch of Xinghuan Group, he seems to have a pretty good life, but this is not what he wants. He seems to be stuck in a sea of misery, wandering back and forth, unable to find a way out.
This is a place he often comes to. He has invited everyone to drink more than once, squandering money that does not belong to him, in order to get a sense of unusual pleasure. He does not even know where he comes from, it is just the beginning of his memory. He had already held this position in Xinghuan Group by that time, and he didn't even know where he was going, so he was just experiencing it day after day in a hazy way.
"I'll pay for everything today!" he said loudly, his ethereal and long voice echoing in the silent bar. Yes, it was very quiet here, with sparse crowds of people scattered in twos and threes on each side of the bar, just silently Drinking the fine wine in the cup, only this sentence made the people who were bowing their heads look up at him for a moment, and then fell silent again. Zhong Yi didn't care, he just looked at the bartender, who also said nothing, After mixing a glass of wine for him, he put it on the bar and pushed it to him. Zhong Yi drank it down without saying a word. His spirit suddenly became trance-like. Suddenly he heard the low voice of the bartender,
"You are very anxious. If you drink this cup, your situation will be much better."
"Really?" When Zhong Yi woke up, the bar was empty. He looked around silently. The early morning gauze had already enveloped the bar. He stood up and pushed the door open. Suddenly, his pupils shrank suddenly. , and then in an instant he opened the door again and returned to the bar. Outside, it was not the familiar and equally disgusting city street scenes before, but a medieval town. Suddenly, he recalled his dream last night. .
He dreamed that he was standing in the middle of the arena, with a hydra in front of him. The scales on its body shone blood red, and its huge tongue whipped in the air like a whip. The remaining blood clots fell from the gaps between his teeth, and nine pieces of it fell. The heads were all like this, and they all rushed towards Zhong Yi. In a blink of an eye, he was sitting on a train again. A volcano in the distance exploded. Thousands of earth and rocks fell wantonly like a heavy rain. A huge red-gold dragon poked out a A dragon's head, its wings lifted up the monstrous magma, and a large piece of it hit the train fiercely. In another moment, he stood on the top of the mountain again, looking at a place only ten meters in front of him, and a blue light penetrated the sky and the earth, like a god. At the advent of the world, everything seemed to turn into a flash, time and space seemed to stand still, and only a long roar resounded throughout the world.
He raised his eyes again, opened the door, and walked out. In front of Zhong Yi was still the unfamiliar world, but a wave of excitement suddenly surged in his heart. He knew that his life had changed.
He walked forward. There was no one on the street. The doors and windows of the surrounding commercial houses were all closed. There was no trace of people. He continued walking, as if he had entered a paradise, looking around curiously.
Suddenly, there was the sound of horse hoofbeats, and a man dressed as a cowboy behind him galloped toward him on a horse.
"Hey, rookie, sit down." Zhong Yi couldn't help but be a little surprised. It was obviously a medieval building, how could there be a cowboy, and what did "sit down" mean, but he quickly understood why the other party asked him to sit down. Okay, but I saw the cowboy took out a rope, swung it in the air, threw it in the air, and caught Zhong Yi. The man lifted Zhong Yi again and directly carried Zhong Yi sideways onto the horse in front of him, but this seemed like Shouldn't you sit down? Zhong Yi was about to ask, but the man pointed the revolver at his waist above his head.
"Stop talking nonsense, just follow me." Looking at the shining silver pistol, Zhong Yi silently closed his mouth.
After a while, the two came to a square. What surprised Zhong Yi was that these people were all of different shapes. Some were driving off-road vehicles and wearing camouflage uniforms, and some were riding various mounts. , wearing battle armor, there was even a rhinoceros knight among them, and some were riding airships or flying carpets, with their bodies covered in armor or wrapped in robes.
Without exception, these people use various methods to bring another person with them. As for the most eye-catching thing, it is the blue robe on the stage in the middle of the square...the magician?
Yes, definitely a magician. And the young magician was standing there with a serious face, leaning on his staff.
After another period of waiting, at least a thousand people had gathered in the square. At this time, the magician knocked on the ground with his staff, a thunder exploded in the air, and the commotion among the people stopped.
"Okay, come down, please allow me to welcome you on behalf of this continent and introduce this place to you." Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Utopia!
At this time, he raised his staff comically and made an exaggerated gesture. Yes, it is that Utopia, but it is just a code name. We prefer to call it the Prison of Killing, but these are not important. What is important is that you have to know how to survive here.
He began pacing the stage, pointing the staff at us. First of all, I want to tell you why you are back here. It is because you are all elites. Of course, this is what we consider elites. Before you came, some of you may have been big shots on the top of the mountain, and some may have been ordinary people in the city, but you are all elites. People with potential, and you should also feel unwilling to live your previous life, so you come here, a place full of dreams. Of course, not all people who come here are because of this, but you don’t need to know anything else. reason.
When you come here, you must go through a trial every once in a while. For you, this interval is three months. Failure is a dead end, and success is endless glory.
Having said this, he first opened his mouth and made a face, and then proudly puffed up his chest. In addition to the mandatory passive trial, you can also take the initiative to participate in the trial yourself. If you lose in this way, your trial will be erased. All the rewards previously obtained, winning will still bring glory and wealth.
As for why you need to participate in the trial, you should already know it, because this is the only way for you to become stronger. Here, you can only survive if you keep getting stronger.
As for another way, it is to do tasks. For example, we are doing tasks to pick you up, and the rewards, punishments and rules for the success or failure of the tasks will be written in the contract. The contract can be constructed using utopian rules, or it can be constructed using utopian rules. You can write it with your own strength. Of course, these are too profound and you still don’t understand them.
After saying that, he shook his head to himself. Utopia is divided into different cities, and people of different levels live in each city. Of course, this refers to the highest level of people living in it, and it does not mean that everyone living in it is in the same realm. From low level to high level, they are the lower city, where people of human status and status live, the low city, where people of heaven and true status live, the middle city, where the highest has extraordinary strength, the high city, where the highest is epic. The strength of the upper city is the highest and legendary strength, and the highest level extreme city has the ultimate strength and above.
And your current strength is not top-notch. As he spoke, he laughed for a while. The place we are now is the lower city, he went on to say, it is called Norton City.
By the way, because today is the orientation day, non-introduction personnel are not allowed to come into contact with you rookies, so there is no one on the street, and it is generally quite busy.
Well, you are about to take part in the first trial. I wish you good luck and goodbye. See you again.
After that, he waved his staff in the air, and it turned into a ball of white smoke and dissipated in the air. At the same time, the so-called guide people around him also disappeared in an instant.
Someone shouted in confusion, what should we do now? In fact, Zhong Yi was also very curious about this question, but before he could discuss it with everyone, suddenly, he felt his whole body falling suddenly, and his vision went dark.
