Not a god

Chapter 31: Falling asleep again
After dinner in the evening, the crib that Chen Xi ordered arrived, and he had to move it back and assemble it in his room first.

The girls were playing poker in the store. The loser had to put a note on his face. All four of them had several notes on their faces.

It was Yu Daochang's turn to play a card. She placed her hand on the cards, motionless, and remained silent for five minutes.

Clearly, he hadn't played a single card, and no one had urged him to do anything, yet it seemed as if a fierce battle had already begun.

But aren't you here to discuss how to save the world?

He couldn't understand it, so he went home and assembled the crib.

There was just one thing that concerned him. He looked at the woman with a note on her face and the bottle of wine next to her:

"I clearly locked all my wine in the cabinet, how did you get it?"

"Don't underestimate the gods, young man. I am a god who can steal wine from all over the world."

"Then go steal from others."

"Stealing is rude."

Chen Xi's expression was very interesting. This was the first time he encountered such a deadbeat. He said to Jiang Wanwan:

"You play here Wanwan, I'll come back to pick you up later."

"Know it."

When Chen Xi left, there were many passers-by and tourists gathered outside the store, taking pictures of their store.

In this situation, could it be possible that... his store has become popular before it even opened?

Only when I came out did I realize that the photo was not of his store, but of the snow girl at the door.

“Is this really made of snow?”

"It's amazing! It's even better than what I saw online."

“This is a work of art.”

There was also a naughty kid who wanted to touch it.

Chen Xi recognized this naughty kid. He worked at the barbecue restaurant next to the cafe. During the day, he could often be seen running out to play with a few other kids on Songzi Street.

The naughty kid's hand was halfway extended when Chen Xi grabbed it: "Be civilized in your appreciation, please don't touch it."

Chen Xi was tall, and gave the naughty kid a strong sense of oppression, frightening the little guy so much that he couldn't speak. He smiled and grabbed a handful of snow, and with a pinch of his hand, it turned into a vivid little rabbit.

"I'll give this to you."

The naughty kid's eyes lit up immediately: "Thank you, thank you brother..."

Chen Xi rubbed his head, and the naughty kid ran to his street friends to show off the little rabbit in his hand, and then went home to ask his old man to build him a snowman as well.

"It has to be better looking than the one next door."

His father was a big, strong man, very proud, and he rubbed his wrists and said, "Little boy, you don't know! I was able to win your mother over by making snowmen."

The naughty kid looked over there, feeling heavy-hearted.

It’s over, his mother is probably going to run away with someone.

Influenced by Chen Xi, many people on the street started making snowmen, but of course we won’t talk about that for now.

Chen Xi returned home and studied how to build the bed. After watching the video for a long time, he finally put the crib together.

"Is this thing durable?"

Chen Xi jumped on it and rocked it, feeling it was okay. It was no problem for a baby under four years old to sleep in it, but when Chen Yi was older, he would definitely let her sleep in a room by herself.

It was already 9 o'clock when I came out of the shower. I checked several class and club group chats, discussing the popularity of "The Destiny of Man", or rather, the fact that it was getting more and more popular.

The discussion on the national scale is not that high, but this is Jiangcheng, the only area that can enter the game. His social circle is all in Jiangcheng, so he must have talked a lot.

There were also some of Chen Xi's junior and senior high school classmates and friends, some of whom left Jiangcheng to attend college, went to other provinces or even went abroad. Now when they heard the mysterious news, they all came to privately chat with Chen Xi to ask about the situation.

He told everything that was exactly the same as what was spread online, and kept silent about the rest. Some people asked Chen Xi whether he had awakened his destiny. When they heard that he had, they were envious and jealous. But when they heard that he was so capable, they still knew he was a good friend.

"Maybe in the future I can hear the wind and hear the sound, or eavesdrop from a thousand miles away or something like that, haha."

"Tell you the first time you overhear your girlfriend cheating on you."

When Chen Xi opened the game this time, he found that the game had been updated to version 1.1. He knew that it had added a novice guide, a trading center, a teleportation anchor point and an offline mechanism.

Jiangcheng's trading center is in Tianfu Square, which is opposite Songzi Street where Chenxi Coffee Shop is located. There are two ways to get to the trading center: 1. Walk there, which is extremely unfriendly to players whose login point is far from Tianfu Square; 2. Establish a teleportation anchor point and teleport there.

But today, when many people entered the game, they saw that the teleportation anchor point had been updated, and they were all very excited to go find it. However, after several lives were lost and the anti-addiction system was activated, they still couldn’t find it. What’s going on?
Chen Xi can answer this question.

After all, this is not a real game. The teleportation anchor point is not something that Jiang Wanwan and the others can create by simply changing the code. As for how to implement this function, it was Chen Yan and Taoist Yu who tinkered with the formation.

The formation seemed to have been completed, but they were playing cards now and had not yet set it up.

In fact, the trading center is useless now. The so-called trading center is mainly a trading platform for players to circulate resources. Now players are still in the state of pioneering. They are all being killed and screaming. Those who awaken the destiny are one in a million, and those who can kill monsters and drop treasures are even rarer. As for the game finally being able to log off, there are now two ways to log off: one is to return to the login point to log out, and the other is to go to the trading center to log out.

However, both types of exits have a requirement, which is that you need to stay out of the battle for 10 minutes.

Players are only allowed to quit the battle after 10 minutes, and the minimum pain level is 15%. This is not intended to torture players, but is a calculated decision.

The monsters in dreams will one day appear in reality on a large scale. Will we be able to quit then?

The purpose of the game "Destiny Man" is to train and exercise, so that people can adapt earlier. At that time, either kill the enemy or end it with your own death. There is no such thing as quitting.

Moreover, for those who have awakened their destiny, the minimum limit of immersion will be raised to 30%, and will continue to increase as they begin to practice.

Moreover, the more serious the mental impact after each death, the longer the anti-addiction period will be.

If they continue to grow stronger, it may take several days, weeks, or even months for them to die again before they can continue to sleep, and eventually they may no longer be able to be carried by Master Yu's paper figurines.

Of course, at that point, they could already enter sleep in the physical body, but the penalty for death at that time was real death.

However, if one could reach the level of gods, one would be unable to enter the dreamland, even the physical body would be unable to go there.

But Wanwan said that no one in the world could reach their level and that everything was determined by fate. He didn't understand what they were saying.

Of course, some minor ethical content has also been updated.

For example, underwear cannot be taken off, and if you force players to do things that violate moral standards, your account will be blocked after being reported and verified.

Chen Xi entered the game and tried it, but he really couldn't take it off. It was as if the bitter tea seeds had grown on his skin.

He came in again and it was still the familiar store, but the glass in the store had been repaired.

All the buildings in the dreamland are projections of reality. Even if a building is blown up here, it will be restored after a period of time.

There are no black birds in Tianfu Square. Although Taoist Yu and his companions cannot enter the dreamland, they can still interfere a little. In order to establish a trading center, they scared away all the evil creatures lurking in the area of Tianfu Square in the dreamland.

As long as you move a little away from Tianfu Square, all kinds of monsters and demons will emerge.

This time when Chen Xi went north, he encountered a spider as big as a car.

Before he died, he was taken back to the nest. The nest was filled with small spiders and there were many fragments of paper men on the ground. It seemed that many players died here.

The second time he changed the road and went south, where he met a scene similar to the grandma in "A Chinese Ghost Story", a big locust tree that blocked out the sun. There were ghosts floating in the sky, and the ground was also covered with shredded paper.

The third time he went west, he encountered a wedding banquet, which was decorated very festively. Many strange things were brought to the banquet. Just as Chen Xi arrived, a matchmaker in a bright red dress came over and said that her queen was getting married today and asked him for a gift.

Could it be that this path can save you from disaster by spending money?
Chen Xi asked: "Does it support WeChat payment?"

Then he was killed again.

The fourth time, he brought cash and prepared to do it again.

Still dead.

If you want to kill someone, just say so! You are breaking the law by not accepting cash, you know?
The fifth time, he took the last route and headed towards the university town.

This time, it was the black birds that appeared. His destiny came into play, as he heard the movement before the other party launched a sneak attack.

If I can’t beat the other three paths, how can I beat you?
"Certainly--"

Chen Xi came prepared this time and struck with his sword.

As a result, the knife broke.

He finally understood that when objects from reality were brought into dreams, their materials were as fragile as paper, and it was impossible to deal with the monsters in dreams.

Therefore, there is no possibility that soldiers will go online for team building and drive planes and tanks to destroy the dreamland.

Then how did Su Jiuer kill the black bird?
And he remembered that the sword in Su Jiuer's hand could even cause damage to the snow monster, and Chen Xi only scraped off a little snow particles at that time.

Perhaps the sword in her hand was also an evil object, but Chen Xi had no way of knowing.

He died again.

The sixth time he went online, he chose the same path, and this time he was again attacked by a black bird.

"Certainly--"

He then pulled out its sword and chopped off its head with one blow. If the snow monster was not counted, this was Chen Xi's first kill.

Good obedience starts again, illuminating good and evil, and examining the wise and the foolish.

Chen Xi's face was filled with sudden enlightenment.

It turns out that these black birds are not the evil thoughts of a certain person, but the resentment of a group of people in this city.

That is the resentment of office workers.
