1.2 Some things are meant to be remembered
The two pushed the door open and entered. The players who arrived first heard the sound and looked back. When they saw who was coming, they went about their business again. The gathering of a group of strangers made the atmosphere a bit depressing.
Walking inside the building, Wu Chen and Baili Yan finally saw the remnants of high-tech civilization. Large areas of polymer material wrapping, streamer screens everywhere, soft light strips surrounding the surroundings, and service robots scattered everywhere
, as well as extremely comfortable ergonomic seats. This is obviously something Wu Chen is familiar with——
"Science fiction in the near future." The female player has returned from picking up her meal.
"It's the near future." Wu Chen is also convinced that the plot world in front of him has attributes that are consistent with his own.
Although he lost most of his previous memories due to the fire injection, Wu Chen's basic common sense and basic judgment are still there.
The so-called near future, to put it simply, is the high-tech era that is divorced from the real world but slightly ahead of schedule. The difference is just the distance from the laboratory to mass production.
For example, flexible screens that replace paper have already been mass-produced in the real world. New players are used to it. Old players are accustomed to it.
"Aren't you hungry?" Bailiyan gently put down his plate and sat across from Wu Chen.
"Not hungry." Wu Chen had no appetite at all. Especially when he had just arrived. He was full of unknowns and uneasiness about the collapsing plot world in front of him. What's more, annihilation followed closely, and death followed him like a shadow. Perhaps before he could finish eating, he could serve
The district has been wiped out.
"This should be the first safe house." Seeing that Wu Chen was uneasy, Baili Yan comforted him.
Safe houses, or safe zones, are not difficult to understand.
"Are you sure?" Wu Chen was doubtful.
"Not sure." Bailiyan smiled. Then he concentrated on having a full meal.
With nothing to do, Wu Chen also got up to get his meal.
Waiting for Wu Chen to return with the plate, the couple sat down at the next table.
After exchanging pleasantries, Wu Chen first asked: "Do you two know which plot world we are currently in?"
"We don't know anything either." The male player shook his head.
Wu Chen asked again: "How to save yourself?"
The male player thought for a while and said: "Return to the shelter before the world is completely shattered."
"Annihilation takes time." The female player deliberately lowered her voice: "Destruction will eventually take place."
This sentence is not difficult to understand. It takes time for a world to go from being broken to being completely destroyed. But before the world is annihilated, accumulate wealth and return to the shelter. After completing the redemption, you can naturally escape.
"Besides, some things are destined to be remembered." Bailiyan pointed to his forehead.
This means that the guardians of the world are also doing their best to delay the sound of the death knell. Players and the world are both tenaciously fighting against fate.
"That's right." The player and his wife were also encouraged by these words.
"How many resource points are needed to complete self-rescue?" Wu Chen asked again.
"I don't know." The male player shook his head: "I heard that asylum coins are used in the Land of Exile."
The female player beside him added: "Now, almost no one calls it 'resource point' anymore."
In other words, since the shelter was broken, the original system was also broken along with it. According to the player couple, the resource points that Wu Chen was familiar with had long been cast into shelter coins by the players.
One resource point is equal to one asylum coin.
Once upon a time, the right to mint money in a sanctuary was a privilege that only lord-level players could obtain. The exclusive sanctuary building with the minting function was called a "mint". It could mint currency based on resource points. And the greatest role of these coins was
Just as a bargaining chip in the goddess's playground.
The Asylum Coin is obviously a product of the Brotherhood Mint. After the Asylum was broken, it successfully replaced the resource points. Wu Chen was not deeply involved in the plot line after the break. Because Lord Zero asked Die Wu to inject fire 9 times before.
, sending Wu Chen back to a certain plot point before the Shattering. Trying to stop the Shattering. However, without exception, they failed nine times in a row. So for the 10th time, Diewu took the initiative and sent Wu Chen back to after the Shattering.
For players, Sanctuary is obviously a completely different world before the Shattering and after the Shattering.
After thinking about it, Wu Chen put the asylum coin he got by chance on the table.
"Oh my God..." Unexpectedly, a mere asylum coin caused a husband and wife player to cover their mouths and exclaim.
"You don't have one?" Wu Chen finally reacted.
The husband and wife players shook their heads repeatedly. Among them, the female player tried to say: "Players only have the authority to save themselves once."
"If you overdraw the shelter assets," how can you still have shelter coins?
Wu Chen was convinced: "I got this by chance after arriving."
"That should be it." The husband and wife players nodded repeatedly. There are always lucky ones.
The key is, what can a mere asylum coin do?
"Follow me." Bailiyan seemed to know what Wu Chen was thinking.
Wu Chen retrieved the asylum coin and followed Bailiyan to a vending machine.
At first glance, all the items on sale are souvenirs. Dolls, models, and ornaments, it seems that no one has visited them for a long time.
"Insert the coin." Bailiyan pushed Wu Chen in front of him.
Sensing the approach of players, the vending machine will open automatically. No mobile phone scanning is required, and no face recognition is required.
Wu Chen tossed the coin.
There is a sound as the coins fall, and the sales interface opens.
There are all kinds of creations born in the near-future world of science fiction. They all cost one coin.
"Wait." Wu Chen was struggling with how to choose. The player and his wife hurried over to stop him.
Seeing Bailiyan, he looked wary. The male player waved his hands repeatedly before approaching: "Don't buy it."
"Why?" Bailiyan was puzzled.
"Go to the maintenance station and upgrade the vehicle." The male player explained hurriedly.
Their eyes met. Wu Chen and Baili Yan understood each other at the same time: "Okay."
When Wu Chen drove ae86 into the maintenance station, Bailiyan and his wife were standing next to a circular platform, waving to him.
Next to the circular platform, there is a machine similar to a vending machine. It has a similar interface and the same coin input and coin return slots.
Parking ae86 in the center of the platform. In the expectant eyes of everyone, Wu Chen threw in the coin.
Almost as soon as the coin dropped into the bag, ae86's holographic image appeared on the interactive interface.
When the progress bar runs out, a pop-up box appears: "Confirm the creation of the shelter. Do you want to increase the plot point?"
It's not "upgrading vehicles", but "improving plot points".
The male player further explained: "The so-called 'plot nodes' can be understood as 'archives' at different stages. Unsurprisingly, we all come from a sci-fi near-future world. And the vehicles we bring in are archives from a certain past.
.You can load a new file separately by 'upgrading plot points'. Repeat this until the vehicle is 'upgraded' to an exclusive shelter."
"The existing conditions remain unchanged, only the new save file of this car is loaded?" Bailiyan understood. That is to say, everything related to it remains unchanged, only ae86 has changed.
"That's it." The male player breathed a sigh of relief.
"In this way, all the creations of the shelter can be loaded into new files independently without any collateral effects." Wu Chen also understood.
"You can say that." The male player was not very sure either.
"Try it." Wu Chen casually clicked "Yes".
