Central World
Once Xie Xi opened his eyes again, the sight in front of him made him somewhat unresponsive .
He stood in a very bright place . He looked up and saw a dazzling white light . He couldn't see the sun or the edges of this place . There was a glossy mirrored floor that clearly reflected his whole body .
He wore his own clothes, which were a simple white t-shirt, jeans and sneakers . The only difference was that these old clothes had become fresh and clean . Even the stains that couldn't be washed off on the sneakers were gone .
Xie Xi looked around . His eyes widened as noisy sounds finally entered his ears . It felt as if he had just come up from the quiet bottom of the ocean and finally heard the sounds of shore .
Where was this place? The game was over but he still couldn't go home? Or had he started a new game again?
“Hey, did you just return from a quasi-world?” Xie Xi turned to look at the person .
The one who had just spoken was a young man in his early 20s . He was tall but very thin . His blond hair was especially dazzling, his eyes were big and round and there was a curved mouth under his high nose . He looked very refreshing and sociable .
Xie Xi didn't know him .
The blond youth saw his face and froze . “So beautiful!”
Xie Xi, “…” He silently took a step back .
He just came out of that damn game and had a psychological shadow towards these type of words .
The blond youth saw his vigilance and smiled . “Don't panic, I'm straight . ” He scratched his head and sincerely praised, “You look really good . You are a natural beauty…” Perhaps he became aware that the word 'beauty' was too feminine and he hurriedly changed it . “I mean, very handsome!”
Xie Xi could only give a polite and awkward smile .
The blond youth was a very friendly type of person and he introduced himself . “My name is Zhong Jin . I am a junior explorer . You can call me Ah Jin!”
The name Zhong Jin was a good match to his hair colour .
Xie Xi opened his mouth . “Hello . ” He didn't introduce himself .
The current situation was very confusing and he couldn't rashly introduce himself to strangers . It might be impolite but it was better than placing himself in danger .
Zhong Jin wasn't annoyed and realized something . “You are a newcomer!”
Xie Xi nodded .
Zhong Jin scratched his head . “I am also a newcomer although I've probably encountered more worlds than you…” He told Xie Xi, “Come here, I will introduce things to you!”
Xie Xi's head was covered in fog and he really wanted to know more about this place .
Zhong Jin led Xie Xi forward and along the way, Xie Xi was dazzled .
The landscape here wasn't complicated but there was a lot of people . Most of the pedestrians coming and going were wearing silver-white uniforms like Zhong Jin . A few were dressed casually and their had a confused demeanor .
Presumably these people were newcomers like Xie Xi .
After walking for seven or eight minutes, Zhong Jin arrived at a blue semi-circular building .
“This is the hall . ” Zhong Jin explained . “It is the place that newcomers must know!”
Zhong Jin took him into the hall without waiting for Xie Xi to ask questions . It was much more spacious than it looked on the outside . The design was simple, or it should be said that there was no display other than a giant water curtain .
Zhong Jin said, “Come here and follow my actions . ”
He placed his hand into the water curtain . There was a ripple but nothing changed .
Xie Xi didn't do it right away and looked around through the corner of his eyes .
The water curtain was huge and circular . Many people were placing their hands in it with closed eyes . There were quite a few newcomers in plain clothes who followed suit .
Xie Xi retracted his gaze and also put his hand in .
There was no need for Zhong Jin to say anything . The water curtain in front of Xie Xi flashed and something similar to a system interface appeared .
Xie Xi glanced at it and his eyes narrowed .
Zhong Jin explained, “Rest assured, only you can see your information in front of the terminal . ”
Xie Xi sighed with relief .
“I was also startled the first time . Isn't the information that the terminal gives too detailed? Still, you don't have to worry . No one can see it apart from yourself . ”
Xie Xi nodded . There were some doubts in his heart but he didn't say anything .
Sure enough, Zhong Jin took the initiative to say, “You don't need to look at your personal information . Go check the mission rewards!”
Xie Xi replied, “Okay . ” He started looking earnestly .
The water curtain showed his personal information in detail . It wrote from birth through to his 19 years of life . Forget other people seeing it, Xie Xi himself was surprised by the sight .
He saw the name Xie Su and had some thoughts . He wanted to see his father's name but unexpected, the column about his father was blank .
What was going on?
Xie Xi had some doubts but it wasn't convenient to ask Zhong Jin, whom he just met . He could only temporarily suppress his curiosity .
He removed the overly detailed personal information and the other interfaces were similar to a game system . The first column was 'Quasi-World', the second column was 'Task Reward', the third column was 'Items', the fourth column was 'Skills' and the fifth column was 'Mall . '
Xie Xi opened Task Reward and the water curtain flashed . There was a clatter and then the following prompt:
[You have cleared the instance Love to the Left or Right . Completion percentage is 100% and you have received the reward of 1,000 gold coins . ]
Xie Xi didn't understand the value . Who knew if this 1,000 gold was a lot of money or not? Still, he remembered that one of the option privileges of the game was to get 10 times the reward money . If he chose that privilege, he would've received 10,000 gold?
This sounded tempting but if he really chose that privilege, he probably wouldn't have cleared the task .
Zhong Jin asked him, “How is it? How much did you get?”
Xie Xi didn't speak . He opened the Mall and saw that everything inside priced with silver coins . He realized that his reward was probably a huge amount of money .
Zhong Jin saw his dull expression and comforted him . “It's okay . The novice tasks are mostly simple and won't give too much money . I got 100 silver coins the first time and this is already lucky!”
One gold coin equalled 100 silver coins . Xie Xi actually got 100,000 silver coins…
Zhong Jin said again, “You shouldn't spend too much money . There are a few things that are the most cost-effective and it would be a pity to miss them!”
Xie Xi asked, “What are they?”
Zhong Jin pointed to his own body . “This uniform must be bought . It might be the lowest level but it can resist a fatal injury in the quasi-world . It is a very cost-effective novice welfare item!”
Xie Xi nodded and looked at the mall . This piece of clothing only needed 50 silver coins .
Zhong Jin added, “For the remaining 50 silver coins, I suggest you buy the common language skill . The novice games come with their own language recognition but there is no such benefit in the next task . ”
Xie Xi searched through the mall and saw the skills column . The common language skill cost 40 silver coins .
Zhong Jin continued, “You still have 10 silver coins left . You can do whatever you want but it is recommended to save some money . Don't try those useless entertainment items . ”
Xie Xi looked at his remaining 99,910 silver coins and thought, 'Okay, let's save a bit . '
Then a huge line of words appeared on the water curtain .
[Announcement: S-grade quasi-world 'Love to the Left or Right' has been cleared . The designer: X . The person who cleared the instance: Anonymous . The world's story is on the shelves and you are welcome to buy it . ]
The big announcement immediately set off the whole hall .
“What a surprise, a S-grade quasi-world! Which big person cleared the instance?'
“If I remember correct, that quasi-world of God X is a novice trail . Is it a n-newcomer?”
“Oh my god!”
“A S-grade world give special skills as a reward . This newcomer will be soaring!”
The speakers were so noisy that they could be heard from a distance .
Zhong Jin was also shocked . “Constantly comparing oneself to others will only make one angry . This newcomer is too powerful . His first task is S-grade and he also cleared it! He is really from the heavens!”
Xie Xi who didn't want to recall that broken game, “…”
Zhong Jin looked regretful . “I really want to know the story of the S-grade world . Unfortunately, it is too expensive . The text version must cost at least 100 gold coins . ”
This meant there was a video version?
At this time, the water curtain changed again and a magnificent medieval castle appeared .
Xie Xi tensed up .
Zhong Jin exclaimed, “Which big guy is awesome enough to buy a full-screen public release?”
Xie Xi's face was dark . Sure enough, there was a video version . Was he going to be exposed? He knew nothing about this ghostly place and just wanted to keep a low profile!
To his surprise, the person on the water curtain didn't look like him .
Zhong Jin lamented, “Unfortunately, the instance clearance is anonymous . We don't get to know what he looks like . ”
Xie Xi sighed with relief . At this time, he noticed the line at the bottom of the water curtain .
Designer: X .
Xie Xi wondered, 'There is a designer for this game?'
