Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

Just as she called up the group chat and was about to ask, a crack suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, accompanied by a slight mechanical sound, and the crack was rapidly expanding.

Soon, the gap opened completely and light poured in instantly.

"Hey, I can move now."

As the thing above her head opened completely, Jiang Shuyang also felt her body. She immediately turned her head and found that she was lying in a large rectangular glass box. Through the glass on all four sides, she could see some high-end-looking metal instruments.

So it’s just the game process, not a bug.

Jiang Shuyang felt a little regretful. She closed the group chat and prepared to sit up from the glass box.

Suddenly, a strange face peeked out from outside the box.

"I rely on!"

Jiang Shuyang subconsciously raised his hand and punched.

"Oh!"

Centered between eyebrows.

The face disappeared instantly, and Jiang Shuyang sat up immediately. She first looked at her fist in surprise.

That touch just now...

So real!

Although she had never hit anyone's forehead with her fist in real life, in her subconscious, if this behavior really happened, it would feel like this.

So this game even simulates this?

That other stuff...

Thinking of this, Jiang Shuyang quickly looked around.

There are mountains looming in the distance, lush forests, rippling rivers nearby, and dilapidated huts.

There was also wind, not only the sound of the wind, but also the clear touch of the wind blowing across her cheek. She could even see a strand of hair drifting into her sight with the wind.

This... is this a game?!

Could it be that she traveled through time?!

"Ouch, your punch took five points of my health."

Just when Jiang Shuyang hadn't recovered from the reality of this, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

He looked over subconsciously and saw a handsome young man squatting on the ground, looking at her with some resentment.

"Oh, sorry." Jiang Shuyang apologized subconsciously, "Are you also a player participating in the internal test?"

"Master, what do you do?"

"..."

They both fell silent for a moment.

"Oxygen?"

"Morning dew?"

After confirming the other party's identity, Jiang Shuyang's guilt instantly disappeared without a trace, and at the same time, his thinking as a player regained its upper hand.

"What's going on now?" She withdrew her eyes from Chen Lu and looked around again.

"I only arrived half a minute earlier than you, so I don't necessarily know more than you." Chen Lu also stood up from the ground and patted the dirt off her butt.

Wait, dirt on your butt?

He immediately raised his hand in front of his eyes, looked at the little bit of dirt on it, and fell silent.

This shape?

This texture?

This smell?

He rubbed his fingertips gently, and then felt the soil gradually gathering on his fingertips, and he even felt a little bit of the granularity of the soil.

What do you mean?

Even the soil has to be made so real?

"The value of this game from Laotian's company might be much higher than we imagined."

Jiang Shuyang turned over and jumped out of the resurrection chamber, then looked at the device that closed automatically, then looked up at the clear sky above his head and the scenery on the side, and finally couldn't help it.

"This is too damn real!"

Although there are many immersive games on the market now, most of them can only achieve 20%-30% realism and fail to take care of many details.

She had never heard of a gaming experience like this one that was almost indistinguishable from the real world.

So the technology on Blue Planet has developed to this point now?

Did someone evolve without telling her?!

"By the way, where are the others? Are you the only one here? Where's Brother Shui? Where's Sister Tui?"

"Brother Shui is over there." Chen Lu pointed to another man who was studying mud not far away. "He's probably a minute or two ahead of me."

Perhaps realizing that they were talking about him, Yu Shui also stood up and looked at Jiang Shuyang and Chen Lu.

"Oxygen is here too."

Because there was only one girl in the internal test group, Yu Shui quickly guessed Jiang Shuyang's identity.

"Brother Shui, did you find anything?"

"..."

Just when Yu Shui and the other two met up, Tang Yi, who was standing next to the cabin, was also observing them silently, and by the way, he also took a look at the messages in the chat group.

Sister Legs, the one in the group ID ‘My Favorite Black Stockings and Beautiful Legs’, was suddenly called by her supervisor to attend a meeting in the afternoon, and had to write a meeting summary in the evening, so she would not be able to arrive until tomorrow, and ‘I’m Not a Traitor’ also had something urgent to do.

It seems that the only players today are the three in front of us.

Thinking of this, he straightened his clothes a little, then looked at Xia Keyu who was still a little nervous behind him.

"Don't be too nervous, just think of them as the town's escorts."

"Yeah." Xia Keyu nodded slightly.

Soon, Yu Shui and the other two spotted Tang Yi and Xia Keyu. After a brief discussion, they walked towards the cabin.

Chapter 7: Chief, You Know Me

"Welcome back, sleeping warriors."

Just as the three approached the two NPCs standing beside the wooden house, they saw the male one take a step towards them.

"It's indeed an NPC." Oxygen said softly.

"And it looks exactly like a real person, and the movements are very smooth." Chen Lu also nodded slightly.

"I just don't know how smart he is..."

Yu Shui didn't say anything, but took this opportunity to take a look at Tang Yi and Xia Keyu's attire.

"I am the leader of this gathering place, my name is Tang Yi, and I am also the current leader of the allied forces."

Tang Yi pretended not to hear what Chen Lu and Yang Yang said, but continued to recite the manuscript he had written overnight in a serious tone.

"I know that you are all warriors who chose to sleep before the great war. I also know that you hope to hear good news now."

"But unfortunately, this world has always been cruel."

"From the information I received after waking up, the entire northwest region has fallen completely under the control of the demons. The southwest, northeast, and southeast regions are also likely to be in dire straits."

"There's no good news. There's no new world as promised during the previous slumber, nor are there any guides as they claimed. There are only gathering places of the fallen and countless demons."

Having said that, Tang Yi paused, slowly swept his eyes over the three people in front of him, then raised his head slightly and looked at the sky behind them.

"But the past is the past. We are now in the future and have the opportunity to continue to create the future."

"I hope you can fight for a better tomorrow, just like you did when you joined the Confederate Army."

Having said that, Tang Yi looked at Yu Shui and the other two again.

"We are starting from scratch now, with no funds, no allies, and we could die at the hands of the demons tomorrow. It's possible that even if we try our best, we won't be able to replicate the glory of a century ago."

"So I'm giving you a chance now. If you want to quit, just step back and I'll let you go."

Tang Yi stopped talking and just looked at the three people in front of him.

No one backed off.

"Okay." Tang Yi nodded, then slightly turned sideways so that Xia Keyu appeared completely in the players' sight.

"She is my assistant. She will assign you tasks, and you can also ask her some simple questions."

After finishing the manuscript smoothly, Tang Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, there were no typos or lags.

When Yu Shui and the other two heard the word "mission", they immediately turned around and ran to Xia Keyu's desk. Seeing this, Tang Yi also quietly came over.

"Hello, we are here to take on a mission."

"Hello, my name is Xia Keyu, and I'm currently responsible for receiving and sending tasks." After finishing the introduction prepared in advance, Xia Keyu quickly pushed out the prepared task token.

"These are the current tasks. Take a look at them first. If you have any questions, just ask me."

Oxygen and Chen Lu immediately began to look through the tokens, but Yu Shui looked at Xia Keyu with some confusion.

Why did he feel that this NPC was a little nervous?

Is it an illusion?

"Can you tell me the specific details of this wood collecting mission?" asked Oxygen, holding up the token.

"Ah... um, okay!"

Now even Oxygen and Chenlu could see Xia Keyu's nervousness.

"The requirement for collecting wood is to collect three trees this thick..." Xia Keyu immediately gestured with her hand, "Each tree must be at least three meters thick. If you complete the task once, the reward is 10 Alliance Coins."

"What about this one for killing demons?" Chen Lu asked, holding up a token.

"For every inferior demon killed, you'll be rewarded with 10 Alliance Coins. For every low-level demon killed, you'll be rewarded with 100 Alliance Coins. For every high-level demon killed, you'll be rewarded with 1000 Alliance Coins."

"But you may not be able to defeat the monsters now, and you don't have any weapons..." Xia Keyu looked at the three people in front of him and said with a little hesitation.

"How about we do these tree-cutting tasks first?"

Yo ho!

Hearing this, the three expert players immediately raised their eyebrows.

Who are you looking down on?

As a high-level player of the game, how could they not be able to defeat the monsters in the Novice Village?

So they did not listen to Xia Keyu's advice, but decisively chose a task token of "killing demons".

Playing games is about fighting!

Besides, if you die, you die. It’s not impossible to be resurrected anyway.

"Oh, there's something I forgot to tell you." Tang Yi, who was watching from the side, suddenly spoke.

"The resurrection chamber you just used consumes a considerable amount of energy each time it is activated, and it takes approximately 48 hours to recover this energy."

"The Alliance Coins rewarded from the mission can speed up this process. Each acceleration consumes approximately 50 Alliance Coins."

"So whether or not to choose to kill the demon at this time is up to you to decide for yourself."

After hearing this, Yu Shui and the other two fell silent, and even the hand holding the task token and putting it in the pocket froze in the air.

Although Tang Yi's words were mixed with a lot of terms from the game, they still understood the implicit meaning of Tang Yi's words.

It takes two days to resurrect. If you want to shorten the resurrection time, you need to use game coins.

And now they don't have a dime.

If you accidentally die while fighting monsters, you will have to wait in the underworld for two days. Not only will you be unable to play the game, but by the time you go online again, everyone else will probably have a set of equipment, and you will have to work hard to chop trees.
