After calming down, knowing that he could not resist it alone, Tao Ran thought of running away.
At this time, Tao Ran's characteristic of always planning ahead allowed him to arrange everything smoothly.
But just as he was about to leave, he hesitated.
What he was thinking about was the unsolved mystery fifty meters underground.
Therefore, Tao Ran, who was supposed to escape before the city was breached, was thrown into a water prison by the robot rebels along with a group of NPCs.
But he was not very panicked. In fact, even without Li Yi, as a player, he could easily untie himself and escape.
But when Li Yi arrived, he immediately gave up the idea.
Because he discovered the difference in Li Yi.
He's a gamer too!
Moreover, from Tao Ran's perspective, it was impossible to tell the opponent's level!
Tao Ran thinks that his level is already the highest among players in the world.
When he saw Li Yi, surprise flashed across his face.
This person’s level is a question mark!
In other words, this person's strength is so much higher than him that his player system cannot correctly measure it with numerical levels.
That's all.
What surprised him even more was that this man, who was obviously a player, actually had a similar border pattern to the boSS copy!
This made him even more confused.
Players and NPCs are two completely different concepts.
One is a living person, the other is...
Thinking of this, Tao Ran suddenly thought of an absurd theory that once made him laugh it off:
How do you know that the world you are in is real and not virtual?
Thinking of the surprise when he saw Li Yi for the first time, and the words that came out of nowhere, Tao Ran suddenly shivered all over, and then shook his head desperately.
It seems that I need to go out and relax for a while. I am so addicted to games all the time that I am almost crazy.
And just when Tao Ran thought that he had not gone out for too long and was planning to go out for a change, Li Yi had already obtained the map, successfully evacuated the factory, and successfully arrived at the place where the two had agreed to trade - Tianwang City. Central garden.
Looking at this central garden that was completely inconsistent with the overall style of the city and it was obvious that it had just been built recently, while Li Yi was admiring it, Tao Ran's voice came from the flowers.
"This is a one-to-one replica of the garden in our small town. How about it? The scenery is pretty good, isn't it?"
"It looks good, but it doesn't match at all."
Hearing the other party's comment, Tao Ran smiled as expected, walked out slowly, and stood in front of Li Yi.
"If you can see that, it speaks volumes."
"Where's what I want?"
Li Yi didn't want to talk so much with the other party, but he came with a mission.
"Don't worry, why don't we have a chat?"
Li Yi stared at Tao Ran across from him with a stern expression.
"I'm different from you, so you'd better not waste my time."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind blew up, and Tao Ran immediately felt that the air around him became difficult to breathe at that moment.
murderous look!
This guy.
"Okay, okay, I won't say any more. I'll give you the stuff, but you have to answer a question for me."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Tao Ran immediately begged for mercy, retreating while making his last effort.
But Li Yi obviously didn't want to answer his question.
Just glanced at it and appeared behind him in an instant.
The next moment, Tao Ran felt a light touch in his hand, and he flew backwards involuntarily. He was immediately frightened and furious.
"you!"
"snort!"
Li Yi left a cold snort. After getting the thing, he immediately disappeared without a trace. He also gave it to the other party in order to make him remember it longer.
Don't try to waste my time!
A strong wind blew by, and at some point, Tao Ran had a piece of thick oilcloth paper in his hand.
It's the detailed map of Tianwang City.
As for the structural diagrams of the city lord's palace that I brought with me, they were taken away at some point.
After recalling what the other party said, Tao Ran suddenly came to his senses.
In fact, the other party had already answered his question just now, but due to the context, I didn't realize it for a while.
With a wry smile, Tao Ran looked at the map in his hand and muttered to himself, sounding both like an answer and a rhetorical question.
"You say you're different from me, but what's the difference?"
As for Li Yi, after getting the structural diagram of the City Lord's Mansion that he wanted most, the first thing he had to do was to confirm the authenticity.
"System, help me determine whether this thing is authentic or not."
"No need to confirm, this is true, it is the trace that the former city lord Tao Ran tore off himself."
The system quickly gave the answer.
"Are you sure he didn't fake it? After all, it has been in his hands for so long."
Li Yi obviously would not believe it so easily.
"No, there's no reason for him to do that."
"No? What do you mean?"
Li Yi frowned and asked after hearing this.
"Because he is an outsider just like you."
"An outsider? I understand, but I feel like he has been here for a long time. What's going on?"
Thinking of this, Li Yi looked puzzled.
But don't forget that he entered this strange dungeon world only after being knocked unconscious. Could it be that before that time, this man named Tao Ran was already the city lord?
Does that mean this is actually a long-term open dungeon world?
So why was he dragged into such a weird copy?
He will never forget that even in the outside world, his body is in another copy.
A copy of a copy of a copy?
Infinite nesting dolls?
Li Yi also suddenly thought of this problem. He could tell that this guy named Tao Ran didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards him, nor did he threaten him or impose conditions on him with the help of what he wanted.
However, the other party's attitude made him feel a little strange, and the other party's identity also surprised him.
This guy should be a player, but for some reason, he seems to have never come out of this world.
You must know that dungeons have a certain duration and are not fixed on one timeline for a long time, but that guy looks like he has been in this dungeon world for a long time. The original aura that belongs exclusively to the player is almost gone. To be completely covered up.
Li Yi had never encountered this kind of situation before, so naturally he didn't know what was going on.
But later, the system gave him an answer that surprised him.
"Are you saying that this player has been online for too long and has become assimilated to this world? He is not actually in this dungeon world, but he is part of this dungeon world?"
"That's what happened. The host understands it very thoroughly."
"There is such a thing...you mean to say that he has 'traveled' from the world he is in to this world?"
"If what the host means by time travel is what I understand, it should be."
"...So this guy traveled through time without knowing it?"
"No wonder I always feel like something is weird. I didn't realize that this guy was actually a player at first. If he hadn't proactively prompted me, I really wouldn't have thought of this."
As Li Yi spoke, he suddenly woke up.
"So he didn't want to talk to me for any reason, he just saw a normal reaction from a player?"
The system corrected.
"To be precise, it should be a normal reaction for a player who is about to become an NPC. No one wants to live an unchanging and rigid life, especially one where everything is arranged by others and fixed by the program."
Li Yi glanced at it, not knowing what he was looking at.
"So that's what happened, so he actually wanted to ask me for help just now? But he couldn't speak out normally because he was controlled by the program?"
"probably."
Having said this, Li Yi turned back to look at the City Lord's Mansion in the distance. He had just run all the way and arrived at the gate of Tianwang City in a short time.
It's not that he wants to leave, he just wants to stay as far away from the City Lord's Mansion as possible so that he can have a conversation with the system.
"Then according to your opinion, should I save him?"
"The host has already made up his mind, why bother asking me?"
"Ah......"
Li Yi shook his head and chuckled. A large part of his figure began to become blurry, and soon the whole figure disappeared.
