398. Giant City

Lan Hao is a ' Player '.

Ever since he saw that 'invitation,' he has dreamt of this strange world every day.

Everything here feels so real, yet it possesses a mysterious power that makes it a place you never want to leave.

Player can choose to become ' Warrior ', ' Mage ', and many other hidden classes, a feeling that could captivate any ordinary person.

'This game was created by God or aliens!'

It's unclear how many Player have already reached this consensus.

The only requirement for Player to progress is to slay 'monsters' and 'demons' and seize their 'energy cores' for cultivation.

He joined a small guild and his profession was 'Ranger,' which was actually the ancient equivalent of a spy, specifically responsible for finding wild monsters.

"Last time, a world-class boss, the ' Dragon of Destruction,' appeared. It was terrifyingly strong, and it even managed to escape at the end, which was truly astonishing... If I can find its trail, I'll be rich."

Lan Hao thought to himself, his eyes shining.

The game's "monsters" are strange, extremely crazy, and full of destructive desires; they will fight to the death on any Player they encounter.

Unexpectedly, the biggest boss actually deserted at the last minute.

It really scared a lot of Player at the time.

"Even if we can't find the big boss, finding a group of monsters is not bad... The guild's rewards are very generous."

In reality, Lan Hao is just a good-for-nothing otaku, but he keenly senses the difference in this game.

In the real world, there are wealthy people who spend money to buy various resources in the game. As long as you are Player, you can basically live a good life by selling materials and information in the game and completing tasks.

'This game world feels too realistic, but the design is too simplistic... Was it really made by aliens?'

As Lan Hao was lost in thought, he suddenly noticed another person in front of him.

The other person had golden curly hair and black eyes; they were probably of mixed race.

"Hey bro, which district are you from?"

He went up and greeted them.

The next moment, he found that the other party had sprinted directly to his side.

The speed was so fast that even he, as a 'wanderer', could barely see it.

'Oh no, I'm a red-named player. I'm going to die this time.'

Lan Hao thought with a hint of despair that although Player could be resurrected after death, there would still be discomfort, and in severe cases, they might even be unable to log in to the game for a period of time.

Just as he was pondering, a heavy hand slammed into his neck, causing him to collapse limply to the ground.

"What did you say... I don't understand at all."

With a wry smile, Sulu lifted Lan Hao up. "Well... after Avatar human form, I've managed to control my strength a bit more, at least I didn't crush him to death in one go."

He carried Lan Hao to a cave and began to use his Psychic Thaumaturgy on Lan Hao.

The original Shadow Clone could only inherit the abilities of the [Dimensional Walker] side.

However, once the Shadow Clone reaches its limit, this limitation disappears, and its strength can even reach 70% of the original body!

A few seconds later, Sulu's expression changed. "No... I can't find his Mind Secret Realm, what's going on?"

Although all skills and passive abilities were weakened upon entering the new world, he was still quite shocked by this fruitless effort.

"Unless... this isn't Wisdom being!"

"Or perhaps... it's related to the altered Spirit World?"

Sulu thought for a moment and then hid himself.

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die..."

Not long after, Lan Hao woke up, only to find himself not in his own bed in the Material World: "Huh? That red-named guy didn't kill me? I'm not dead?"

He rolled over, checked himself, and found himself completely unharmed. He breathed a sigh of relief, but was still quite puzzled.

"That's strange, could I be hallucinating...?"

After thinking about it, I still felt it wasn't very safe.

Lan Hao's figure disappeared, and he immediately logged off, logging into a Player forum and entering a chat group. "Guild leader... looking for a sugar daddy/sugar baby, looking for an escort!"

This game is very basic; it doesn't even have a chat box, and communication is basically done by shouting.

Therefore, if Lan Hao wants to contact the guild, he still has to rely on chat tools in the real world.

Thinking about it now, I really feel the urge to burst into tears.

"Did they log off?"

Sulu, hiding to the side, watched. "I wonder where he'll be after he reappears? Never mind, I'll keep watch over him for three days!"

He didn't have to wait long.

A dozen minutes later, Lan Hao's furtive figure reappeared. After briefly surveying the surroundings, he ran off without looking back.

Sulu followed behind him, watching him desperately flee until he rejoined a small squad wearing the same insignia.

Finally, the group arrived at a city.

This is a giant city built entirely of stone, radiating a dazzling array of colors.

The four doors, which are always open, are bustling with activity as large numbers of Player come and go.

"This city alone must accommodate at least a million Player, right?"

Sulu's eyes flickered, and suddenly Inspiration struck him. His face was filled with emotion. "Finally... I found it!"

In his Inspiration, this colossal city was clearly built from a series of the Mind Secret Realm!

The many secret areas took on a square shape, forming the foundation of this giant city!

"I knew it... The three-tiered Spirit World structure is a truth verified by numerous worlds... Although there are changes here, the fundamental principles remain the same..."

Sulu looked at this 'game world', its land was undoubtedly the former Phantom Spirit World, capable of accommodating spirits.

Its sky was once the Dream Spirit World, imbued with the abilities of mutated monsters.

As for this main city, it is part of the Mind World, built from countless Mind Secret Realm!

"Just one last thing is missing... the information gathered in the Dream Spirit World, along with numerous mysterious symbols... they are hidden... therefore, divination and prophecy cannot be performed in this world!"

Sulu emerged from hiding and swaggered to the city wall.

The gates were wide open, and there were no guards patrolling or collecting entrance fees.

Instead, a dense crowd of Player, speaking languages he didn't understand, formed a long queue.

Even before creating his Shadow Clone, Sulu had intentionally adopted the style of this world and changed his clothes.

He pretended to be mute and blended into the city. Fortunately, no Player threw any appraisal spells at him.

The city's architecture is very medieval, and both sides are lined with bustling shops and stalls, where various jobs and goods are sold very well.

'If I stay here for a while, I'm sure I can learn their language...'

But Sulu did not stop and continued walking.

What he most wanted to know, of course, was the source of the Player ' incredible ability to 'resurrect'.

He had witnessed this before; the Player who died didn't respawn on the spot, but instead had to travel from a distance.

It looks like it's bound to some kind of resurrection point.

Based on Sulu's years of gaming experience, binding a resurrection point? It should definitely be placed in the main city!
