"How could it be such a ghost place?" Xiao Lang couldn't help but muttered to himself as he looked at the desolate and dilapidated place in front of him.

Although it was night, there were no lights around, and there was only half a big crescent moon in the sky, Xiao Lang could still clearly see the plants and trees around him, of course, only within a range of about ten meters around him.

, no matter how far away you are, you can’t see clearly, and the world seems to be shrouded in a layer of mist.

From time to time, there was a "squeaking" sound of insects in the grass and trees, which made Xiao Lang feel that the silence here was even more ghostly.

Even though he was a bounty hunter, facing everything now, he couldn't help but feel chills running down his spine.

Although Xiao Lang knew that this was not the real world, when a gust of cold wind blew by, the coolness still made Xiao Lang shiver and made him frown. This character's body was too fragile.

.

"Fang Xiaotian! Xiaotian!" Xiao Lang connected to the communicator and prepared to contact his companions.

"Sorry, the area you are in now is a special area, and the communicator cannot be used. Sorry, you have..." A burst of electronic synthesized sound immediately sounded in Xiao Lang's mind.

"Little words, small words!" Xiao Lang had a slight doubt in his heart, and then called another person.

"Sorry, the area you are in now is a special area and the communicator cannot be used..."

"Hu Niu, Hu Niu!"

"I'm sorry, the area you are in now is a special area..." It was still such a calm synthesized voice, which made Xiao Lang feel very pained.

It is indeed impossible to contact other people. In other words, this trial scene can only be completed by myself.

Although in reality Xiao Lang often encounters completing tasks alone, not to mention that in [Fantasy World], most of the tasks in the trial scene are indeed single-person tasks. But in this situation, it is obviously a problem.

It was beyond Xiao Lang's initial expectation: they originally agreed to enter the game together. Although due to the random surnames of the trial tasks, their tasks may not be related, and they cannot exchange information with each other to make their tasks easier to complete——

But even if everyone's tasks are not related, just chatting and spanking is quite interesting.

However, it seems that the plan has been aborted. Moreover, what particularly attracts Xiao Lang's attention is that in the current situation, it is logical that Bluetooth guy cannot be unclear. Especially before, Bluetooth also explained a lot of things to him,

But he didn't say anything about the trial mission.

Whether it was because he didn't know, or whether he deliberately didn't explain it to himself, Xiao Lang didn't know.

However, deliberately tripping up Xiao Lang is obviously not in the interest of Bluetooth, so Xiao Lang prefers to think that Bluetooth does not know what will happen when entering the trial scene of the game. Of course, it is precisely because there is no information

, Xiao Lang can only sit still now, instead of taking the initiative to do something.

After all, as a former bounty hunter, Xiao Lang has always believed that intelligence plays the most basic role in the success or failure of a mission.

Of course, this does not mean that Xiao Lang will not do anything without information.

Xiao Lang thought for a while and decided to ask Bluetooth first what the situation was. After all, he was not an ordinary player and had no freedom at all. He came here not so much to play games as to work.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lang connected a set of special small microphone-like machines, which were his and Bluetooth's dedicated communication devices in the game.

"I'm sorry..." The synthesized voice was still serious and responsible, repeating the same words.

"..."

Unexpectedly, even the person in charge of Bluetooth could not be contacted, so Xiao Lang completely gave up the idea of ​​"inviting friends and companions".

"Go offline?" Xiao Lang thought in his heart. Now that he is in the game, the means of contact will definitely be restricted. But as long as he can successfully log off, naturally the problems he faces now will no longer be a problem. At the very least, he must tell Xiao

God, there are several of them. I can't be with them for the time being. I also want to ask about Bluetooth. What is going on? It's a good game. Why does it seem like I have entered a scene from a ghost movie? The legendary novice trial scene should not be

This is what it looks like.

If in reality, Xiao Lang encountered such a situation, he would definitely choose to hide himself on the spot and then choose an opportunity to explore the surrounding situation. However, in the game, it is obvious that Xiao Lang has a better choice, which is to go offline.

Thinking of doing it, Xiao Lang immediately prepared to go offline.ice, you..."

"!" Xiao Lang raised his middle finger to the little crescent moon in the sky, which was not cute at all. He didn't know who he was showing.

If Xiao Lang were an ordinary "Fantasy World" player, what he would have to do now would be to force himself offline - what kind of bullshit "at your own risk", you can still bite me - and then file a complaint against [Second Heaven], the reason

It was the company that gave him "unfair" treatment: Why did he go to such a ghostly place while others could do their tasks normally?

Eighty percent of the time, you can get a large amount of compensation. In fact, some people have made a fortune through this.

However, for Xiao Lang, there is no way to do this. Who made him accidentally sell himself to [Second Heaven], so all he can do now is behave himself.

Follow the plot - although, God knows what the plot is now.

Xiao Lang readjusted his mentality and then looked at everything around him.

This is a trial scene. Logically speaking, there won't be any tasks that are too difficult for the players, and they shouldn't be difficult for the players on small things like "road direction". Although looking at the situation now, it doesn't look like a place.

It's reasonable, but Xiao Lang believes that he is standing here, and [Fantasy World] will never let him stand stupidly like this.

He is now on a narrow path, which should be in the north-south direction. Xiao Lang is not sure. After all, the surrounding area is gray and there is only the crescent moon in the sky. At a glance, he can't see the end in front or behind, naturally.

I don't know which way to go.

Both sides of the trail are almost entirely covered with dead grass and strange rocks. For Xiao Lang, it is of no use at the moment. Well, it is not completely useless. The strange rocks can still be used as stone benches.

After all, Xiao Lang was not asked to wait any longer. After a while, just when he was about to close his eyes and rest, a rather loud singing voice floated from the side.

"The Tao is the Tao, the Tao of the world, the Tao can be Tao, the Tao is not the Tao, the world is not benevolent, it is the Tao, the common people seek their own Tao... The Tao is the Tao, the Asura Tao, the Tao can be the Tao, the Tao is not the Tao, everyone is the Tao.

But I said that people are like dust, what kind of love is there, what kind of love is there..."

If Xiao Lang could understand this singing, he would probably guess that the person coming was an expert. However, Xiao Lang couldn't quite understand this unknown dialect.

Of course, even if he doesn't understand what is being sung in the song, it does not prevent Xiao Lang from realizing that this guy is the key to his leaving here.

The sonorous singing sounded from far away to near, and its owner gradually came out of the mist.

He is an old man, with gray temples and a forehead covered with wrinkles, like ridges and ravines. He may also be a middle-aged man, but his face is a little older, because the singing voice is full of energy and it really doesn't sound like that.

What an old man can have.

There was nothing worth describing in his rags, and he was similar to the people Xiao Lang had seen wandering the streets looking for a living. However, his whole body was covered with debris, bottles and cans, and there was a meter-high hanging on his back.

The backpack looks quite heavy.

"Old man, may I ask where this is?" Xiao Lang bowed to the old man before continuing to ask.

Even NPCs have their own likes and dislikes. For a player like that who always says "Old man, where is this?" as soon as he comes up, even if he can get the answer from the NPC, 99% of it is made up by someone else.

This is not the first time Xiao Lang has played this kind of virtual game. He will naturally pay attention to things that should be paid attention to.

"Well," the old man replied without any hurry at all. He slowly took out a gourd from his side, opened it, and poured it into his mouth. A not so mellow smell of wine spread out.

After he had finished his alcohol addiction, Shi Shiran said to Xiao Lang: "Young man, this is not the place you should come to. Just go back to where you came from."

Xiao Lang made a wry smile and replied: "I also see that this is not the place I should come. But I don't know why, when I woke up, I ended up here. Now I just want to go back, but I don't know where to go."

.”

Xiao Lang is now wearing a short coat of coarse cloth. He should be dressed like an ordinary farmer or hunter. But having said that, Xiao Lang also noticed that his appearance and figure are almost the same as in reality. Some acquired physical defects have also been automatically detected by the optical brain.

It has been repaired, which means that my face is white and clean, and there are no calluses on my hands. No matter how you look at it, there are no traces of digging in the ground.

This seems to be a bit inconsistent no matter how you look at it.

Of course, most people wouldn't notice this, but Xiao Lang didn't know if the old man could see it.

"Oh? When you wake up?" The old man wiped his mouth casually with his sleeve and said, "It's a bit interesting."

Xiao Lang noticed that although the old man's whole body was dressed as sloppy and sloppy would not be an exaggeration at all, his fingernails were as white as jade, with no trace of dirt at all; carrying such a heavy thing on his back,

There are still so many bits and pieces hanging on it, but the footprints on the soil on the way the old man came here are only a shallow layer of traces. It is obvious that he is not an ordinary old man.

As for the "waking up", it was originally Xiao Lang's excuse, because in this situation, Xiao Lang naturally would not spend a lot of time explaining that he was a player from "different time and space". Unexpectedly

, the old man looked very concerned.

"Can you show me your hand?" the old man said, but in fact he did not ask for Xiao Lang's consent at all. He stepped forward and held up Xiao Lang's wrist, as if a doctor was taking his pulse.

At this moment, Xiao Lang was finally sure that the old man in front of him was a master, because Xiao Lang couldn't see any trace of the three steps he took forward. It was as if the old man had directly crossed the space from where he was just now and stood.

It was as if he was by Xiao Lang's side.

"I didn't expect to meet a 'Heavenly One' here. Haha, I thought it was just a rumor. It seems..." the old man said softly to himself.

"What?" Xiao Lang found that chatting with this person was indeed a technical job, and he had a strong dialect accent. If his voice was deeper, Xiao Lang would definitely be unable to do anything.

"Nothing, nothing." The old man obviously didn't want to dwell on this issue. Of course, it's hard to say why. It might be because the old man felt that this issue was taboo. It was more likely that the old man was lazy and didn't treat this kind of problem.

Small problem, too lazy to explain.

"By the way, young man."

"Huh? So you can speak Mandarin." Xiao Lang said. At first, the old man was too lazy to talk to him, so he didn't even change his accent. But now, he seems to be interested in him.

Xiao Lang was not surprised why the old man suddenly became interested in him. After all, they are players themselves. Although as the game progresses, some people are destined to become passers-by, gangsters, etc., but now, at the beginning of the game

The stage is the same for everyone, that is, for these NPCs, players are a special existence. Of course, this is also the reason why the game company set it up at the beginning. Otherwise, those NPC managers would not want to pay attention to the players.

The later stages are fine, but in the early stage, the players are in a bit of a tragedy.

Therefore, it is not surprising at all that NPCs are interested in players.

"I've traveled all over the world, and I've been to every place in the world. Naturally, I can talk about anything. If you want to hear nonsense, I can also tell you." The old man took another sip of wine without grace, looking quite disrespectful to his elders.

: "However, after all, the hometown dialect is more smooth. Ahem, this person is old and talks a lot. Okay, okay, young man, you come with me."
