Chapter 100 [Entering Zero City]
"here it is……"
This is a circular square with a channel in front, back, left and right, but this channel is a metal bridge.
In other words, this square is like an island surrounded by a river.
The square is not very large, about the size of the school playground.
Chen Xiaolian looked around and found that there were other people appearing in the square, and occasionally a green light appeared. After the light column disappeared, a person walked out. After a little identification of the direction, he chose a bridge in one direction without hesitation and walked over.
Occasionally, someone saw Chen Xiaolian looking at him, and most of his expression was very cold and even looked a little disdainful.
Perhaps it was because his curious eyes revealed the identity of the rookie.
All the companions around him were there, not a single one. The tire had already walked to Chen Xiaolian and smiled and said, "Okay, we have officially entered zero now."
He pointed around and smiled, "This is the central square of entering Zero. Unlike other places, the city's import and exit are in the most central area of the city. Whether entering or leaving the city, you have to pass here. When we go back, just leave here through the teleportation array. Get a teleportation card at the service office, and you can directly activate the teleportation array and leave this city.
The city is divided into four areas: southeast, southwest, northwest and northwest.
The East District is a private territory, that is, the official organization of Zero City, and the permanent district of the top teams stationed in Zero City. Although others are not prohibited from entering the area, there is nothing to see. Most of the places inside are classified as private territory, and you can only look at the gates and buildings outside, which is meaningless. The only thing that can be open to outsiders is Zero City's arbitration center and public security department. The former is where you can go to complain and demand arbitration when a dispute arises between the awakened person. The latter, as the name suggests, is equivalent to the role of the police station.
The West District is a public trading area with a flea market. Where can all awakened people go and communicate with each other? Whether it is equipment, potions, or various strange props, or even intelligence obtained in the dungeon, you can trade them. You can exchange points, barter them, or even pay in installments.
There is a service point for Zero City in the flea market, where any transaction must be collected. Once the transaction is completed, Zero City will serve as the proof of the transaction to ensure the completion of the transaction. For example, if there is an installment payment, Zero City can be used as the guarantor. Of course, it requires a secured item or something else.
For example, if you want to buy something from an awakened person, the other party only accepts points, and you don’t have points, you can mortgage other things on you at the service office and borrow a point from Zero City to purchase.
Of course, there is interest! You must repay it regularly. Once you cannot repay it, the things you mortgaged will be confiscated by Zero City.
I'm talking about one of the methods... In short, there are many ways to trade. After we go, we will experience it slowly.
The southern district is a living area. If you stay in Zero City for a short time, you can find a place to live, including hotels and hotels. Most of them are officially opened by Zero City, and some are opened by certain teams. Many consumption in the living area can be paid in currency, and it supports the use of various mainstream currencies, US dollars, euros, and RMB in the outside world, which can be used here. Of course, the price will be more expensive.
But for some special enjoyment, you can only pay points.”
Chen Xiaolian was stunned for a moment: "Special enjoyment?"
Roddy, who was standing beside him, looked strange: "There won't be a 'that kind' service in the living area here, right?"
Qiao Qiao immediately glanced at him.
"What are you thinking!" Tire smiled bitterly: "Of course there won't be that kind of thing happening. However, some special services and enjoyment do not accept the currency of the outside world. I won't say much about the specifics, you will know after reading it."
After a pause, he sighed and said slowly: "North District... is the most attractive place in Zero City."
"oh?"
"The North District is a commercial area. In fact, its overall function is similar to the flea market in the West District. However, the North District commercial area is officially set up by Zero City, and it is owned by several top teams stationed in Zero City.
If the flea market in the West District is self-employed, then the commercial area in the North District is a regular army.
The official Zero City has a lot of good things, which are all kinds of goods accumulated over the years. And those top teams also have experienced many copies of their experiences because of their extraordinary strength.
In terms of quality and quantity, it is more and better than the goods in the hands of the scattered awakened people at the flea market in the West District.
By the way, the mecha you like, Roddy, is in the North District, where there is a weapon and armed forces department, which is officially opened by Zero City. It has various weapons and technology products, and there are mechas for sale."
After saying this, Tire looked at Chen Xiaolian: "Where are we going now?"
Roddy also looked at Chen Xiaolian with a eager face - of course this guy wanted to run to the weapon department immediately.
Chen Xiaolian thought about it, but shook his head: "We are just a newcomer, so it's best to get familiar with the environment first. Well, we shouldn't just stay here for one day, go to the living area first, find a place to settle down, and solve the residence first. Then talk about something else."
Chen Xiaolian's decision was approved by the team owner, so the seven people set out and walked towards the living area to the south.
Walking through the metal bridge south of the central square, you can already see that there are several open-air places like cafes next to the river beach under the bridge.
Under the supported sun umbrella, some awakened people were sitting there drinking leisurely drinks.
There were even sounds of playfulness in the distance beside the river beach. Chen Xiaolian was surprised to see that there was an artificial beach and artificial waves on the river beach. There were men and women wearing swimsuits and bikini playing in water.
"This... is simply a resort." Chen Xiaolian widened his eyes and looked up at the sky. The sun shone brightly and the sky was clear: "By the way, we can see the sky here... This city probably isn't on the terrain. I used to think it would be an underground city, just like the Mausoleum of Qinhuang."
"...I don't know." Tire shook its head: "The location of Zero City is the highest secret. Every time I come, the sky is different. Sometimes it is night, sometimes it is daytime, sometimes it is seen, and sometimes it is nothingness... What's going on, maybe the sun and sky we see are artificially created."
"How come those guys are on vacation here?" Roddy stared at a big-breasted woman in a bikini on the artificial beach, and looked at her for several times before retracting her gaze.
"Because it's safe." Tire thought for a while and smiled bitterly: "First, you won't meet other awakened people here... You may not know that in the outside world, the relationship between awakened people is not harmonious. Many times, once you meet a strange awakened person, it is likely to be a fight. You should understand the principle of killing people, catching treasures and robbing equipment."
Chen Xiaolian immediately remembered the scene he saw outside the waterfall before entering the Qinhuang Mausoleum, and he nodded.
"Zero City is safe, and here, only those who awaken people can truly feel a sense of reality. Because the people you see and meet here are awakened people like you, and only those who can live in peace here can everyone live in peace.
Another important thing is that you may not have imagined. The artificial beach you saw has a special name in Zero City.”
"Special title? What is that?"
"Sea of Love." Tire's old face turned red and she smiled bitterly.
"Love...Sea?!" At this moment, Chen Xiaolian and several young people were all stunned.
"Actually, awakened people are very lonely." Tire sighed, staring at the artificial beach, staring at it, and whispered: "Many people will experience confusion, hesitation, madness, and many other emotions in their hearts after becoming awakened people. And... Once they become awakened people, when you understand, this world, and yourself... and so many people may be created by a higher upper world and virtually... Do you still have the courage and the mood to pursue those so-called feelings?
If you were still single at this time... would you still be willing to find an ordinary person as your partner?
When you are facing an ordinary opposite sex, whether you are having a relationship with the other person, date, or even going to bed...
I feel very awkward. I always feel that all this is true?
From time to time, you have to go to the dungeon to fight, and you may die if you go... At this time, it is difficult to fall in love with ordinary opposite sex in the real world.
I even heard a friend say that after he became an awakened person, he had the feeling of being fucked with an ordinary woman.
The feeling of inner depression and loneliness will always surround the hearts of many awakened people and cannot be waving them away.
At this time, the awakened person can only slightly relieve some of the confusion and confusion when he is with the awakened person. Only when he is with the awakened person can he slightly avoid some of the illusion that he cannot face hypocrisy and truth.
All awakened people are lonely, and those who have no partners are even more lonely.
Therefore, awakened people often only accept that awakened people become their partner - the place Zero City is the safest, so many times, awakened couples get to know each other here.
The cafe by the river in the living area to the south and the artificial beach are all good places for awakened people to meet and chat with each other here.”
As he said that, Tire looked at Chen Xiaolian and looked at Roddy: "Forget it, the leader, but Roddy and Xiao Lei, if you are willing, I will take you to a tavern by the river to have a drink in the evening, and maybe there will be a romantic encounter."
Roddy's eyes suddenly shone! Even the matter of the mecha was thrown behind him!
"Okay, okay!! Or we'll go now?"
...
Walk along the main road in the South District. The roads here are very wide, but there are no vehicles, and they are completely pedestrian streets.
The blocks are very standard square, very neat, and there are no green plants on both sides of the road, full of a metallic sci-fi feel.
The buildings here are not as bizarre as imagined. The buildings are square or round, and they are not much different from the outside world.
The tires and spare tires were the way for Lao Ma to know the way, and soon took everyone to a hotel he was familiar with.
This hotel is located in a bustling street in the South District - this street doesn't seem to be much different from the commercial streets in the outside world, with restaurants and bars.
This hotel, called "Traveler's House", looks quite grand. It has a fully transparent glass curtain wall at the door. After entering, it is a circular public area, with a screen wall placed on the side of the gate.
There are two lines of text that are repeatedly displayed on it, and they are repeatedly played in various languages.
"This store is protected by the official Zero City and the Rodria team.
This store is the reception location for the Rodria team.”
