Inner World, S-rank Highest-Tier Station

Some truths are actually quite simple to explain.

How many people would want to go to a lifeless, stagnant world with no value for exploration?

That's actually the case in the Shadow World.

Bai Zhi didn't know what kind of deal Qingyi's brother had made with the system, but based on the information he got from Tian Huo and what the other party left behind, he could roughly guess some of it.

However, it's really hard to say about those kinds of things.

Bai Zhi actually had some ideas about how to develop the Shadow World, but due to current limitations, he didn't have the energy to complete them.

To put it simply, if he currently possesses a Game, whether small, medium, or large, and he makes Game available for free in the Shadow World, it will definitely attract a large number of Player.

However, perhaps due to the impact of this Large-scale Campaign Quest, apart from the Game derived from [Plants vs. Zombies], he hasn't encountered any other Game being released since then.

Furthermore, if a cooperative relationship could be established with the world of Tian Huo, the Puzzle Card themselves would be a rather attractive specialty product.

The value of Puzzle Card lies not in the abilities they grant, but in the infinite possibilities they represent, which can be infinitely combined. Ultimately, even creating a world is not impossible... although the Genesis the world where Tian Huo resided failed.

However, assembling Puzzle Card is a skill in itself. In the Puzzle Card World that Tian Huo lived in, a basic subject called Puzzle Course was even created.

Of the ten Puzzle Card Bai Zhi had previously obtained, apart from the Elite Level one, the rest were taken by Tian Huo. In Tian Huo's words, if Bai Zhi were to try to assemble these Puzzle Card himself, someone who was new to them would definitely end up with a mess, so it was better to have her help.

--In their world, common Level Puzzle Card are used by primary and secondary school students to practice and build a foundation.

There are no useless Puzzle Card that can be infinitely combined.

In the end, the discussion about the Shadow World didn't go too deep during this Pigeon Feast.

Even if they reach a conclusion now, Bai Zhi can't leave until this Large-scale Campaign Quest is over.

After thoroughly enjoying a feast of roasted pigeon, Bai Zhi went to the Inner World before nightfall.

He definitely wants to go to the Core Zone, but with his current Level and strength, even if he goes there, he probably won't gain much. So, improving his own strength is the most urgent task right now.

Although I've reached Level 15, which is considered Level for Player in this world... it's still not enough.

After a Dungeon, the construction of the Ticket Counter at the S-rank Highest-Tier Station is nearing completion and should be finished in about one night.

His timing was quite opportune; unusually, dozens of people had gathered at the Station.

Some were weary from their journey, haggling with the Jar Merchant in the supermarket, spitting as they spoke; others, physically injured and mutated, were enduring the harsh treatment from the White-haired Man in Sunglasses in the Infirmary; and still others were working out enthusiastically in the Virtual Gym... It was quite a lively scene.

Even worse, some people gathered together, squatting on the floor of the hall, idly playing cards...

"It's that guy again..."

Bai Zhi glanced at the male Player was excitedly slapping Poker on the ground, wearing an eye patch over his left eye and with his head inexplicably wrapped in white bandages, and his expression became slightly strange.

Strictly speaking, this was the third time he had encountered the other person in the car here.

"Aren't the March-shi here...?"

After examining all four locations one by one, Bai Zhi couldn't help but frown slightly.

If he remembered correctly, the other party should also belong to the S-rank Highest-Tier Station, but he hadn't seen them at the Station.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi turned and walked into the Infirmary.

In the not-so-large Infirmary, five or six Player were patiently waiting in line for treatment. The White-haired Man in Sunglasses was smoking and impatiently attending to his clients.

"What's the problem?"

Looking at a Player sitting in front of him who had completely covered his head with an airtight black plastic bag, he asked the player a question.

"... His face is gone."

After a moment of silence, a muffled reply came from inside the plastic bag, which didn't sound like normal speech but rather like ventriloquism.

"I encountered an Anomaly in the Dungeon where someone steals faces. My face was stolen, and now my entire face is blank... Is there any way to fix it?"

"It's a minor issue; a cosmetic surgery will do the trick. 300 points will be awarded."

The White-haired Man in Sunglasses casually tossed his cigarette into the Trash Can, stood up from behind the table, and pulled back the curtain behind him, revealing a rather rudimentary operating table.

"Lie down here obediently. Also, do you have a photo? If not, I'll just make one for you."

"... have."

Seemingly not expecting such a straightforward answer, after a moment of stunned silence, the Player had covered his entire head with a black plastic bag quickly reached for his phone.

After scrolling through the photo album for a while, the other person held up the phone in front of the White-haired Man in Sunglasses.

"This is my photo, thank you."

"..."

--A shameless scoundrel.

Upon seeing the photo that had been chosen by the other party, the Player behind them, including Bai Zhi, couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Because that photo was clearly a poster photo taken for a celebrity to describe someone as exceptionally handsome...

Of the five or six Player remained in the Infirmary waiting for treatment, apart from Bai Zhi, the others all exhibited some degree of abnormality.

Some had two pale, strange hands tightly bound with rope around their waists; some had an infant's head growing from their necks; and some had their entire left hand transformed into tentacles... all sorts of bizarre creatures.

However, most of these Player remained quite calm, since none of them who were able to enter the Station were just pretending.

These people weren't actually without ways to deal with the abnormalities in their bodies; those Large Organization had experience in handling such matters. However, compared to the others, it was clearly the most cost-effective to receive treatment in the Medical Room.

To be honest, compared to the Player in front of him who had all suffered from the Anomaly the supernatural tales to varying degrees, the injury Bai Zhi suffered was indeed just a superficial wound...
