"That's rough, take a break."
"Hahaha, tilted!"
"Does the 7-day, 100-floor challenge still count?"
"Huan Yue, you can contact Dragon City Flying General to pre-order his holographic display device!"
"This competition might be a bit fierce!"
......
The viewers watched the small window in the live stream. Huan Yue was inside, bending over, clutching his stomach, and cursing.
Some sympathized, some laughed wildly, and some offered suggestions.
Several comments caught his attention: "Competition?"
"Are there many people who want to buy it?"
Viewers immediately replied: "Tons! People in Mengjinli are already bidding, with prices that defy the heavens!"
"How heaven-defying?" Huan Yue's tone was full of disbelief.
[Seeking holographic display device from Sky Arena 100th floor reward for 200,000!]
[Bounty Post | Holographic display device, 300,000! Must be obtained through official Arena channels]
[Holographic display device, official channels, no matter what others offer, I'll add 50,000!]
[Holographic display device, any channel is fine, delivery overseas, 400,000!]
......
Huan Yue scrolled down in astonishment.
He discovered that people had been posting requests to buy it since Xu Meng announced that she would give a holographic display device to the first player to reach the 100th floor.
However, in the beginning, it was clearly the behavior of ordinary players, and the marked price was only 30,000.
But soon, similar posts became more and more numerous, and the purchase price also rose steadily.
There were even many posts with no price limit, and they even made bold statements like "Just come and talk."
Viewers were shocked by how valuable this thing was:
"This price increase speed! The first person to reach the 100th floor is going to get rich!"
"So, Boss Xu quietly organized another grand prix?"
"And without having to pay for it herself! Genius!"
......
Huan Yue felt that something was wrong:
"Why is there a distinction between official and unofficial channels?"
"Where would unofficial channels come from!? Did workers steal them from the factory?"
"Aren't they afraid of being sent to prison by Xu Meng?"
He clicked into the posts and quickly discovered the clues—
Many of the posters who didn't care about whether the channel was official or not had IP addresses listed as [Unknown] and overseas, and they had basically no posting history.
But to say it was a fishing scam, there were too many popping up at once, which didn't seem right.
Huan Yue sensed a conspiracy and quickly gave up the idea of getting involved.
But he didn't speculate wildly in the live stream, but instead complained:
"I can't afford it, I can't afford it, you guys think too highly of my financial resources!"
"I'll just wait for Dream Builder to officially start selling it before buying it."
"Anyway, I have the honorary player status, so I don't have to worry about not being able to buy it—and there's a 20% discount!"
After closing Mengjin, he was still wondering whether to send an email to Dream Builder to remind them of this matter.
But in the live stream, a bunch of new comments suddenly exploded:
"Silver City! Someone has discovered clues to Silver City!"
"Creeping Metropolis, there's actually a train to Silver City!"
"Hidden station! Silver City! I'm going to see my wife's house!"
"Streamer, streamer, quickly grab a flashlight! Go find your wife in the dark!"
......
This disrupted Huan Yue's thoughts.
He slowed down the comment speed and spent some time figuring out what was going on—someone had discovered a hidden "inner world station" that could lead to the VR version of Silver City.
Huan Yue had been beaten up all night and his body was sore. He had originally planned to find an excuse to end the stream.
But now that he saw this news, he immediately perked up!
"Let's go! Silver City!"
"Whoever wants to play this crappy arena can play it!"
"I'm going to find my wives!"
He was instantly no longer sleepy, quickly left the Sky Arena, and wanted to find a store to buy a flashlight.
But he wasn't familiar with the map and didn't know which store sold this kind of household appliance.
After a little thought, he turned around and went into a weapons store.
In less than a minute, he walked out of the weapons store with a [Tactical Flashlight].
[Tactical Flashlight]: Gun accessory, three-level brightness adjustment, comes with a strobe mode.
Value: 150 credit points.
After that, he quickly boarded the air rail and rushed to the hidden station.
At this time, the air rail station platform had already begun to experience a crowded phenomenon.
—The news spread too quickly, and countless people were rushing here.
As soon as the air rail train entered the station, everyone immediately swarmed forward and rushed into the car.
Huan Yue was wearing a haptic suit, and because he had been beaten up all night, the muscles all over his body were relatively sensitive.
Now he was squeezed in the middle of the crowd, with people in front, behind, left, and right, feeling like his whole body was being pressured. It was like returning to the morning rush hour.
People in the crowd kept complaining:
"Don't squeeze! Everyone, stop squeezing!"
"What's the rush? Just wait for the next one, right? Can't you wait two minutes?!"
"What a trash server Dream Builder has! Can't they even do traffic splitting?"
"I can't breathe!!!"
......
In fact, only players wearing haptic suits had this trouble.
Players using haptic gloves and keyboard and mouse didn't care about this!
Squeeze!
Just squeeze!
Not only squeeze, but also boldly speak up:
"Just squeeze! Just squeeze! If you can't take it, wait for the next one!"
"Is the station your home? You're giving orders now."
"If you don't want to squeeze, go wait on the side yourself!"
"Can't breathe? Go Die!!"
......
The players who were sprayed immediately sprayed back.
Both sides raised their voices higher and higher.
Even after everyone squeezed together and filled the carriage to the brim, the platform and the carriage were still continuing to spray at each other.
Just as the Sky Rail train entered the building and the car darkened, someone suddenly got agitated, angrily raised something, and shouted loudly:
"Let me show you my precious baby!!"
Everyone in the car subconsciously looked over.
Huan Yue was no exception, raising his head to look at the thing in the person's hand.
—It was a slender, cylindrical object that looked very familiar to him.
By the time he realized what it was, it was too late—
An intensely bright white light of up to 1500 lumens suddenly erupted!
Moreover, it was high-frequency flashing!
The extremely bright white light burst out, almost blinding the dog eyes of dozens of people in the car.
Screams immediately rang out:
"Ah!!"
"Fuck!"
"Fuck your mother! Fuck your mother, ahhhh!!"
… …
Clanging and banging sounds echoed everywhere.
The newest novels are first published on !
Huan Yue abruptly took off his VR headset, and tears streamed down his face.
He couldn't stop them.
The live stream was also filled with a bunch of "Fuck", "What is that?", "Damn your mother" and other similar comments.
—This burst of light not only attacked Huan Yue but also attacked the viewers in the live stream.
When Huan Yue rubbed his eyes to adjust and put on the VR glasses with bloodshot eyes, he was greeted with a second round of flashing!
He wisely took off his VR glasses and switched to the computer monitor.
The monitor immediately started flashing wildly!
In the occasional moments of pause, he could only see a bunch of people in the car holding up their arms, almost everyone with a flashlight, waving them around at the crowd…
Shouts and curses rose and fell!
But no one was willing to stop first.
It wasn't until the announcement "Western Center—Arrived" came over the loudspeaker that the explosive flashing finally ended.
The moment the car door opened, a group of people rushed out of the train as if fleeing.
The players on the platform were astonished to see this scene:
"What's going on? Is there a zombie outbreak on the train?"
And many of the players who ran out immediately opened the system menu to give feedback to Dream Builder—
"Using a strong flashlight on the train is so unethical!!"
"My eyes are going to be blind!"
Dream Builder reacted quickly.
Fifteen minutes later, strong light was banned on the entire elevated railway line of Mansheng City—all lighting equipment had its brightness limited to below 500 lumens.
Inside the train car, a [Strong Light Prohibited] warning sign was also hung up.
Next to this sign, there were also three warning signs: [Noise Prohibited], [Fighting Prohibited], and [Swearing Prohibited].
By the evening, there were also [Lying Down Prohibited], [Begging Prohibited], [Littering Prohibited], [Vandalism Prohibited], [Jumping Out of Windows Prohibited], [Riding Bikes Prohibited], [Practicing Martial Arts Prohibited]…
The increasingly long list of warning signs quickly became another popular challenge project for players!
… …
… …
Huan Yue's goodwill towards the Sky Rail plummeted, and he was already researching whether it was easier to buy a car or snatch a car in Mansheng City.
A few minutes later, he and his friends saw the unique [9] platform sign.
Passing through the disguised wall and entering the hidden platform.
Compared to the silence when Hua Zhou first discovered it, it was now crowded and lively like a country fair.
Some went deeper, looking for more clues.
Some smashed open the doors of the parked train, wanting to restart it.
But more people jumped directly off the platform and walked along the tracks into the darkness.
Huan Yue didn't hesitate and also joined the "Railway Expeditionary Force", starting to walk.
This road was surprisingly long.
Fortunately, Huan Yue had already switched to using haptic gloves to operate, and he himself was sitting on a chair to rest the whole time, otherwise, he might not have been able to walk all the way.
After walking for a full forty minutes, they finally reached the end—
The tracks broke off at the edge of a cliff.
It was now close to 10 ., and it was the middle of the night in Mansheng City.
Countless players came to the edge of the map, and the flashlights in their hands shone beyond the cliff, but they could only illuminate a hundred meters of darkness.
But beyond the hundred meters, there was still only darkness.
It was as if they had come to the end of the world, and there was only nothingness left outside.
Many people went offline to rest in disappointment.
Some people, unwilling to give up, explored along the edge of the cliff, to both sides.
Huan Yue sat disappointedly on the edge of the cliff, looking at the distant starlight and sighing deeply.
"Forget it."
"If it's not there, it's not there."
"I believe Dream Builder will definitely not let us down, and Silver City is already working on it."
"This platform is the evidence!"
"Let's be patient, friends."
Huan Yue comforted his friends and himself.
Then he planned to end the stream and rest.
But before ending the stream, a friend said: "Isn't the position of the stars too low?"
So Huan Yue looked at the distance again.
He found that a batch of stars was indeed very low, and it felt like even his current position was low.
Not only were they low, but they were also very dense!
The way they were arranged was also significantly different from the stars in other directions!
He blinked his eyes, feeling a little subtle.
With this faint expectation, he did not go offline but chatted with his friends while browsing the DreamNet forums.
At the same time, waiting for dawn.
This wait lasted for two hours.
At 12 noon, the sky finally began to brighten little by little.
The "starlight" in the distance dimmed.
The thing that emitted the "starlight" became clearer and clearer—
It was actually a city!
A silver-white city with familiar signal towers!
Huan Yue's eyes widened a little bit.
"That is… Silver City?!"
"Why is it getting closer and closer?"
