Above the gray fog

Chapter 1316 The Game on the Other Side (Two Chapters in One) Happy New Year

Lin Shan looked at the room he was in. Judging from the appearance of the building, it looked a bit like a Western architectural style. There was nothing inside except a table and a few chairs. There was no bed or cabinets. There was a painting hanging on the wall. God's painting, God's face is blurred.

"Borrow one and pay back two, your interest rate is a bit high." Lin Shan raised his eyebrows lightly.

Icarus replied calmly, "In the words of your human race, this is what is called 'borrowing a chicken to lay eggs'. I lend you a chicken, and you use my chicken to lay two eggs in return. This practice is actually Not too much."

Lin Shan had a strange look on his face, "Do you have a misunderstanding about the term 'borrowing chickens to lay eggs'?"

"Is there any?" Icarus asked, expressionless but seeming to reveal a hint of embarrassment, "I will lend you my chicken, and you will use it to lay two eggs and return it to me. Isn't this what 'borrowing a chicken to lay eggs' means?" What do you mean?"

"Just assume that you are right. We are not going to discuss the issue of 'borrowing chickens to lay eggs'. What we want to say is, can the interest rate be lower?" Lin Shan tried to guide the topic back on track.

Icarus pondered for a moment, "If I were an ordinary angel, there might still be room for negotiation, and I could even help you for free, but as a Sequence 3, the price I offered is already the lowest. You are so smart, you should You understand what I mean."

Of course Lin Shan understood what Icarus meant. She was a Sequence 3, and Lin Shan was also a Sequence 3. The price she offered was very reasonable. If she was a Sequence 4 and Lin Shan came to ask for it, she would give it to her directly. It was very direct and very reality.

"Okay, you are the seller, so you can do whatever you want." Lin Shan nodded, with an attitude of letting the other party do it.

"Don't worry, I won't harm you. For the sake of the sealer, come with me. I'll take you to see the equipment of the 'Other Game'." Icarus stood up and walked out of the house.

As soon as the door opened, a group of children were found lying next to the door and eavesdropping. Icarus shouted softly, "Go, go, find another place to play." Naturally, the children's behavior could not be hidden from Icarus, but for For the angel tribe, these are not secrets. After all, their population is so small and they don't have many secrets to keep.

Lin Shan followed Icarus out of the monotonous room. As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he was surrounded by a group of lively children. These children asked questions in immature voices and showed strong interest in the unusual visitors.

"Uncle, uncle, what race are you from?" An angel looked at Lin Shan curiously, his eyes sparkling.

"Uncle, uncle, why don't you have wings?" Another angel asked, pointing at Lin Shan's back, obviously surprised that he lacked the iconic features of the angel clan.

"Uncle, why did you wrap yourself up so tightly? Are you cold?" Another child asked with concern, his eyes full of innocence.

"Sister, sister, your dress is so beautiful, and you look so beautiful." Facing Zhao Xiaoan behind them, the little angels expressed their praise without reservation.

"Are you cold? If you are cold, I can breathe fire to keep you warm. I just learned how to control flames recently. It's very warm!" A little angel from behind flew close and said proudly, as if he couldn't wait to show her off. new skills.

Lin Shan showed a kind smile but said nothing.

"Uncle, are you a bad person? Why are you laughing like this?"

Lin Shan's face darkened, and he immediately felt that these little angels were not so cute.

"Go, go, don't delay things here, be careful I pluck your feathers." Icarus turned to the children, his voice was soft but undeniably stern. For the children of the angel tribe, it was very difficult to pluck their wings. Feathering was an extremely severe punishment.

"Ahhh, don't pluck my feathers!" A group of children screamed and fled in all directions.

"Lord Holy Angel, I was wrong!" the children shouted as they ran, their voices mixed with apologies.

Watching the children disperse, Icarus turned to Lin Shan and said, "Sorry, thanks to the grace of the angels below, our angel clan has welcomed some new lives, and they are still real children."

"It's okay, it's very cute." Lin Shan shook his head in understanding.

Icarus led Lin Shan through more than ten buildings, and finally came to a church-like spire building. Inside, there were angels praying devoutly. Their voices were soft and harmonious, echoing in the empty space, bringing a sense of joy. There came a peaceful and solemn atmosphere.

They moved on and arrived at the second floor of the building, where two seemingly old computers were placed. They were placed in the center of the room, making them particularly eye-catching. Icarus pointed at the computers and said, "These two are the terminals for entering the 'Game of the Other Side'. Only computers developed when this civilization just started can access the Game of the Other Side."

"Sit." Ikaros pointed to the soft leather seat gracefully, and she sat down herself, motioning for Lin Shan to sit next to her.

Icarus then turned to Zhao Xiaoan and said, "Sorry, we don't have any extra places."

Zhao Xiaoan waved his hand with a relaxed expression, "It doesn't matter, I was not selected for the game of The Other Side in this era. Moreover, I am no longer interested in the game of The Other Side. It is just a maze."

Icarus smiled slightly, "It seems that this lady still retains some memories. Maybe the 'Game of the Other Side' has left you with some unpleasant memories, but many times we can't choose, can we?" As she spoke, she had already He turned on the computer, showing a trace of extraordinary elegance in his movements, and started the computer in front of Lin Shan.

"Before entering the other side game, you need to understand what the other side game is, what benefits it can bring to us, and its possible disadvantages." Icarus' eyes fell on Lin Shan.

Lin Shan looked back and motioned for her to continue.

Icarus's voice was like the sound of nature as he slowly narrated, "Games on the other side actually existed in the ancient times. In other words, when civilization was born in the gray fog universe, games on the other side already existed. They are known as Different forms are displayed in the world. Even in a world as powerful as the Gray Fog Universe, the number of places in the other side game is very few. There will not be more than tens of thousands in the whole universe. We angels are able to have two places because of some special reasons. , in fact, every quota is extremely precious.”

She gently spread her hand and then squeezed it tightly, "One more thing you must know is that the quota in the game can be snatched away. Obviously, your previous quota was taken away by Yuanting."

Having said this, Icarus paused briefly, as if to give Lin Shan time to digest this information, and then continued:

"There are countless speculations about the game on the other side in this world, but all speculations will eventually point to the abyss. Some people even believe that the abyss is the origin of all things. An abyss explosion countless epochs ago forced the void to give birth to life and all things. , but so far, no one can provide a definite answer, and guesses are always just guesses.”

A deep light flashed in her eyes, as if she could see through the fog of the void, "Although we don't know the true origin of the game on the other side, in the endless river of time, we have gradually revealed the functions and rules of the game on the other side."

"The gameplay of the game on the other side is very simple. In the early stage of the game, we can only control a little black man, and control it to wander around in an unknown area, search, and explore. The little black man is our game character, and it can be upgraded. , you can also gain skills to become stronger, and after becoming powerful, you can defeat the monsters in the game.”

Icarus looked at Lin Shan and raised his voice slightly, "Actually, the little black man we control and everything it has experienced actually exists in a corner of the void."

She continued to emphasize her tone, as if to remind Lin Shan of the importance of the next topic, "Let's talk about the benefits next. The characters in the game are real, and we can explore the void with the help of the game. In addition, there are many substantive For example, we can transfer items in the game to the real world, and items transferred to reality in the game can be brought back to the game, but items in the real world cannot be forcibly entered into the game. In the game, various Opportunities are numerous and strange, and there are even seemingly illusory things like talent and bloodline. Sometimes, just walking around can bring rich harvests, but harvests also come with dangers. The initial characters are extremely fragile and very easy to die. , even if it evolves into a higher void creature, it cannot escape the fate of easy death. "

After a pause, Icarus's tone became solemn, "Let's talk about the disadvantages. After entering the other side game for a long time, our physical bodies will gradually become insubstantial. When the infirmity reaches a certain level, death or injury in the game will affect us. Reality has an impact, and it is easy to hurt yourself or even die during the game. However, the progress of virtualization is extremely slow. To reach this level of impact on reality, you need to continue playing for at least hundreds of years. Many people will stop playing after the degree of virtualization is reached. They will choose to stop and give up the game on the other side. They cherish life more than the opportunities in the game on the other side. Of course, more people will not give up on the game on the other side, because the game on the other side is also called the origin game. According to legend, as long as you can pass the level By playing the game on the other side, you can understand the ultimate origin of life and all things. This is an existence that transcends the supreme authority.

"This is just a legend, for entertainment only. Don't take it seriously, because the game of The Other Side has no clear origin, so people are happy to weave all kinds of stories." Obviously, Icarus did not believe these legends. He continued, "Most people who play the game of The Other Side The creatures in the game are all looking for the possibility of advancement, which is much greater in the game than in the real world. Of course, there are also those like Genting who aim to explore the void through the game of the other side.”

Lin Shan interrupted at the right time, "I heard that some people in Yuanting come from the void."

Icarus nodded, "So you know this. Just because they come from the void, they understand the value of the game on the other side better. Even the creatures in the void will think that the void is an infinite maze."

"No more words, let's start the game. If you have played it before, the game will continue from your last progress." After saying that, Icarus clicked on the only Higanbana icon on the computer desktop. The next moment, the computer screen suddenly went black. When the screen lit up again, Lin Shan's familiar fog interface appeared.

Different from Lin Shan, the map in front of Icarus has been lit up a lot. There are densely packed small grids in front of him. Each small area is marked with a name, and each larger area also has a more prominent one. The names of the works - wild land, woods, virtual sea...

"Come on, let's add each other as friends. I happen to have a prop that allows me to teleport to my friends." After entering the other side game, Icarus showed an unusual seriousness in his eyes.

A small box popped up, and Lin Shan received a friend request from the Holy Angel Julius Carlos.

"How did you add me as a friend? Why can't I find this function?" Lin Shan asked curiously after agreeing.

Ikaros replied calmly, "Your level is not high enough. You have not unlocked this function yet. Only medium void creatures can add friends."

A green dialog box popped up on the screen: "Friend, Julie Icarus requested to use the God of Mystery Lin Shan as the anchor point for teleportation. Do you agree?"

Next to it are the options for "Agree" and "Deny."

Although Lin Shan has begun to adapt to this simple interface, he still wants to complain about why this game is so simple.

After a flash of low-end special effects, the little black man controlled by Icarus appeared next to Lin Shan's little black man.

"What race is your character?" Icarus asked.

"Race? Don't you know? Humans." Lin Shan replied, while using WSAD to control the character to spin in circles.

"I'm asking about your race in the game, not in reality."

"If I remember correctly, it should be the Siren clan. Doesn't this game even have a character panel?"

"There is no need to complain. This game has been like this for countless years. Although it is called a 'game', in fact it is more than just a game. You can think of it as a channel connecting the universe and the void. Entering the game is equivalent to Yu entered the void." Ikaros calmly controlled the character and lit up the surrounding map.

Suddenly, Icarus' pupils suddenly dilated, "This...is this a civilization located in the void? A village?"

"Isn't this the Novice Village?" Lin Shan wondered.

Icarus opened his mouth slightly, "There is no so-called 'Novice Village', this is a civilization in the void."

"This village is just in front of my birthplace. Isn't it a novice village? Can a village be called civilized?" Lin Shan was speechless.

Lin Shan found that his interest in this game was not as high as that of Icarus. He was just curious at most. His main purpose was to find the 'lucky lot' that Lin Shan mentioned in the future, but the 'lucky lot' should not be found casually. things you can find.

For him, promotion to Sequence 2 is the most important thing at the moment. As for Void, when he gets the end of the gray fog universe one day, he may go to Void to have a look. His current promotion path is clear and clear, and he only needs to continue to Just increase your devout faith. Playing games can only be done after business. How can you have time to play games with the angels here every day?
