Chapter 177: Level III 1
[Friend 201: Go to the Points Trading Platform.]
The other side was concise.
Chu Yian, following his instructions, opened the Points Trading Platform, which glowed with golden light, and found a new message on it.
[Your friend 201 has applied for a game item trade on the Points Trading Platform. Do you want to purchase the game item: Instant Burst Mine, priced at 1 point?]
Game items were not cheap.
1 point could only buy useless things like enemas, mineral water, or baby burp bibs. Moreover, after the Points Trading Platform went online last time, re-using it required either the buyer or seller to pay 5 game points to open it.
The actions of player 201 were tantamount to giving her a game item through a trade.
[Friend 201: Please don’t worry, we genuinely want to invite you.]
[Friend 201: This mine is for you. If we harbor any ill intentions towards you, it’s enough for you to take us down with you.]
[Friend 201: We can try cooperating for one round first. If we get along, we’ll team up later. If not, you won’t suffer too great a loss.]
With such sincerity, Chu Yian felt it would be ungracious not to agree.
“We can try.”
Chu Yian thought for a moment before replying to him, “But I also have a friend. If I encounter him in the game, I want to bring him along.”
[Friend 201: Okay.]
The two settled the matter. Chu Yian spent one point to buy the item from the Points Mall and also changed the person’s nickname.
She began to study how to use the Instant Burst Mine. Meanwhile, Jie Yan sat in a leather boss chair, rubbing his temples.
His game pop-up received a new message.
[Liu Wen: Brother Jie, did the big shot with the spatial item agree?]
[He agreed.]
[Liu Wen: Brother Jie is amazing! I knew with Brother Jie in charge, anyone could be won over.]
Jie Yan glanced at the subsequent content he sent and paid no further attention.
On the other side,
Although Chu Yian had accepted Jie Yan’s invitation and was diligently studying the Instant Burst Mine’s function, she was not idle at all. Instead, she went to You Che to inquire about information.
[You Che: Brother Jie’s team has a total of six people, all male. Among them, Liu Wen is his capable subordinate and the one who was able to gather us at the start of the game. There’s also a person named Zhang Yunwu, whose game item is a flamethrower. Its power is extremely great, and he’s the team’s main damage dealer. The other three are Zhao Gang, Wang Tao, and Xu Li. Although they don’t have outstanding game items, they are all former athletes and are very strong.]
[You Che: Brother Jie himself is rumored to be a big boss who runs a company abroad. Although I haven’t seen him use any game items, he’s incredibly strong. Zhang Yunwu’s flamethrower can melt even temperature, yet he is extremely loyal to Brother Jie.]
You Che couldn’t help but praise their small team, “Anyway, this is a very strong and united team.”
United?
This clearly gave people the impression that the person named Jie Yan was strong-willed and authoritative!
“So you all cleared the last game with the flamethrower?”
Chu Yian typed and sent this casually; she asked it on purpose.
When You Che saw the message, he immediately lost his boastful confidence, “In the last game, we froze to death on the mountain range. The white frost came too fiercely, and Zhang Yunwu didn’t even have time to take out his flamethrower.”
Chu Yian replied with an “Oh.”
Then she sent another message, “I cleared the last game.”
Since You Che, that bigmouth, liked to tell Jie Yan’s team about her, she would use his mouth to inform the other party of her strength. They shouldn’t think she was easy to manipulate just because she was alone and a girl.
You Che didn’t know this, and when he heard Chu Yian’s words, he couldn’t help but exclaim, “Holy crap!”
Compared like this, Big Chu was even more formidable.
Chu Yian roughly extracted information about the team through You Che. Although she hadn’t met the team, she had already formed an initial image of these people in her mind.
The next day in reality, the game was about to begin.
She glanced at her points.
555 points, more than enough.
She also brought weapons for this round of the game.
Aside from the Instant Burst Mine that Jie Yan gave her, she also took the disposable crossbow she bought as a sucker.
She took these items and lay on the sofa, calmly waiting for the game to start.
[This round’s game: Level III.]
[Game content: The Red Sun appears, and the world becomes a multi-layered shattered space. Three vertically deep spaces, 13 districts, and humanity’s escape journey. Players need to enter the Level III space to complete the escape before the Layer I and Level III spaces collapse.]
[Initial funds: 2,000 coins.]
[Initial supplies: ID card, 1 set of clothes, communication device.]
[Current total players: 3,401,278,192.]
For the first time, Chu Yian didn’t understand the game’s rules. Just as she was thinking deeply, her body suddenly felt light.
A game pop-up-like object appeared before her eyes.
[Player 27313 is anchoring you.]
[Player 27313 has sent you a team invitation. Do you accept?]
[Please note that this teaming is only valid for this round of the game. Player 3210 will be directly teleported near the teamed player. Teaming has risks, cooperate with caution.]
There was actually a prompt below.
Quite thoughtful.
However, Chu Yian still pressed the accept button.
What followed was a sense of weightlessness accompanied by dizziness and nausea. When she opened her eyes again, the game world before her shocked her.
The world was red.
Under the red sunlight, the surroundings appeared particularly eerie. She was currently standing in an open-air plaza, where a dignified news anchor on the large television in the plaza was reporting relevant news: “Since the appearance of the Red Sun, the multi-layered shattered space has persisted for 3 years, and abnormal phenomena have once again appeared around the world…”
Chu Yian’s attention was completely drawn to the sky above her head at this moment.
The sky was not blue with white clouds, but another suspended piece of land!
To be precise, there were a total of three such suspended lands, stacked like a three-tiered cake.
Three years ago, the sun suddenly disappeared for nine months, and all electrical appliances and signals in the world vanished. After experiencing the darkest nine months, the Red Sun appeared.
People were horrified to discover that the planet they relied on for survival had been “pulled” into a flat plane by a mysterious force!
No, it was three planes.
Like three layers of a cake stacked together, and all humans lived on the bottom layer of the “cake.”
Countless scientists researched this but came to no conclusions.
People numbered the three planes I, II, and III, and they lived on Layer I.
And this Layer I was not entirely cohesive; it was composed of shattered continental blocks. There were huge gaps between these continental fragments.
These gaps were as void as space.
The only aircraft equipment that could connect the continents had malfunctioned, preventing people on different continents from contacting each other. Consequently, Layer I was further divided into 13 districts.
And at this moment, Chu Yian was in District 13 of Layer I.
She looked at this eerie world; what she saw now had exceeded her common sense.
