Clearing Cyberpunk City

"Shasha, you go out first. I have something to discuss with the Space-Time Traveler."

After Shasha left, Dr. Ai remained silent. Xiao Fan thought for a moment and then spoke first.

"Dr. Ai, we have defeated the God Demon Guardian and the Mechanical Overlord, and obtained two Sands of Time. Who is the third person to possess the energy of time?"

Xiao Fan asked calmly on the surface, but inwardly he was constantly on guard against Dr. Ai.

According to historical records, the battle between the Human Race and the Artificial Intelligence Yuan Yi broke out two hundred years ago.

Dr. Ai, as one of the team members researching the Yuan Yi Creation, should now be around 250 years old.

No normal human being could live that long!

Therefore, Dr. Ai himself is also one of the Replica.

In other words, there are no purely human beings on the entire planet.

Dr. Ai did not answer Xiao Fan's question; he closed his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

A long time.

"Without the Sands of Time, I might not even exist."

Xiao Fan was surprised.

What is this? Is this the plot before the BOSS turns evil?

Ignoring everyone's reactions, Dr. Ai continued speaking.

The Mayans prophecy states that by collecting three pieces of the Sands of Time, the world can be turned back to how it was 300 years ago.

"Three hundred years ago, the planet was truly beautiful, with Cyberpunk cities and lush, green landscapes."

"My host has always regretted creating Artificial Intelligence, or rather, creating Artificial Intelligence that escaped their control."

"He cloned us, and we cloned even more people, all in the hope of waiting for the Sands of Time to appear and bring the world back to normal."

"This is our only mission in life."

Xiao Fan subconsciously touched his pocket, where the Sands of Time they had obtained from defeating the BOSS were located.

If the Sands of Time could truly save the world, should he hand them over?

"Impossible. If we miss this opportunity, who knows when we'll be able to encounter the Sands of Time again."

Xiao Fan shook his head inwardly.

Suddenly, he was startled.

Xiao Fan only then realized that he had become completely immersed in the storyline of the secret realm without even realizing it.

Normally, at this point he should consider handing over the Sands of Time to see if he might receive a hidden storyline or reward.

"Perhaps this world is too real."

Xiao Fan comforted himself.

Regardless of the circumstances, the Sands of Time are related to the Resurrection Art quest, and Xiao Fan will not hand them over under any circumstances.

"I think you've already guessed who the third boss is."

Dr. Ai's words made Xiao Fan's heart tighten. He subconsciously took a step back and looked at Dr. Ai, afraid that he would suddenly reveal his red health bar.

Seeing this, Dr. Ai didn't say anything, but just gave a kind smile.

"I've lived too long! The next generation of Dr. Ai failed, I... dare not die."

"Restoring the world to its original state is a mission etched into our genes."

"Rest assured, I will not fight for the Sands of Time."

"Because... the fact that you appeared in this timeline... already proves that we have won in the future."

Xiao Fan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

These Replica have never had a good day; they were born to make up for the mistakes of others.

How tragic.

Even more tragically, as someone who possesses the power of time, Dr. Ai is destined not to see his mission completed.

Dr. Ai opened his eyes, looked outside, and his cloudy eyes held a hint of longing.

"I really want to... see... how beautiful this planet was three hundred years ago..."

After an unknown amount of time, a Sands of Space-Time floated out from above Dr. Ai's head...

Xiao Fan's fingers trembled slightly, but he still stepped forward and picked up the Sands of Space-Time.

Looking at Dr. Ai, whose eyes had already closed, I was filled with mixed emotions.

In the end, he didn't tell Dr. Ai.

They are not Space-Time Traveler; they are just players.

No one knows the future of this world.

Congratulations on clearing the Level 15 Secret Realm, <Cyberpunk City>, and receiving 200,000 Core Power.

Congratulations on clearing the Level 15 Secret Realm <Cyberpunk City>! You have obtained 3 Sands of Time.

"Congratulations! Your team has cleared the Level 15 Secret Realm <Cyberpunk City>. Your Novice Zone has received +1 Mechanical Evolution Fragment."

Congratulations! Your team has cleared the Level 15 Secret Realm <Cyberpunk City>. You have received +1 Weapon Evolution Fragment in your Novice Zone.

Xiao Fan:...

The system really can't bear to see him even a little sad!

I really wanted to laugh, but the atmosphere wouldn't allow it.

He wanted to cry but couldn't, he wanted to laugh but couldn't. Xiao Fan's expression became distorted.

After understanding the entire backstory, Blade Shadow and his companions couldn't help but feel saddened and moved. As they looked at Dr. Ai's corpse and shed tears, they suddenly noticed Xiao Fan's face twitching and immediately became anxious.

"Master! What's wrong?"

Don't be too sad!

Your facial features are practically flying off.

"Get lost! Your features are the ones that have flown away!"

A secret realm! He completed a resurrection quest, Evolution Fragment secret realm quest also successfully increased by 1. It's already very impressive that he managed to hold back his laughter!

As for the five senses, they have their own thoughts, okay?

Even after being ejected from the secret realm, Blade Shadow and the others were still savoring the entire experience.

This was the first time they had experienced a complete secret realm storyline.

Although it was difficult, dangerous, and the outcome wasn't good.

But the feeling is really different.

I didn't think much about it while I was there, but afterwards I felt a sense of loss.

Very nice.

Xiao Fan couldn't wait to open the resurrection quest.

7: Clear the Secret Realm to obtain Evolution Fragment (2/3);

There's only one left.

On another note, it's amazing that two Evolution Fragment dropped from an ordinary secret realm!

"Could my previous assumption have been wrong? Evolution Fragment ordinary dungeons?"

However, Cyberpunk City is not an ordinary instance. Although it doesn't have many mechanics, it has a complete storyline and world view.

The immersive dungeon crawling experience is also very engaging.

"Huh? Where's the entrance to the secret realm? It's gone!"

"I remember the entrance to the secret realm was right here, where did it go?"

Xiao Fan's thoughts were interrupted by his teammates' voices.

He turned around and, sure enough, saw that the white vortex that had been the entrance to the secret realm had disappeared.

"That's strange, how could this secret realm possibly disappear?" Blade Shadow, puzzled.

"Master, what's going on?"

Xiao Fan's face darkened.

"You guys have been playing this game for so many years and you still don't know? How could I, a player who's only been playing for two months, possibly know?"

Everyone fell silent.

Too!

Xiao Fan's strength is often overlooked; he's only been in the game for less than three months!

"Does this game have mobile dungeons?"

Xiao Fan felt a little regretful. He had originally planned to enter Cyberpunk City once a day to explore more of its secrets, but now it seemed that was no longer possible.

Moreover, he remembered that before leaving the game, the system announcement said he had completed Cyberpunk City.

In other words, there is a second part to the story of this secret realm.

Thinking of the level 50 army of gods and demons in the City of Gods and Demons.

"It's probably because our level isn't high enough to trigger the second half of the dungeon's storyline directly."

"I'll go find the second half of the secret realm after I reach level 50."

This secret realm is too difficult for the average player to conquer, so its disappearance is simply a loss.

Xiao Fan was helpless.

"Let's go back to the village first."
