Chapter 108: Take one step and see the other.
------
Galan said goodbye to the three villagers in the cage and continued walking towards the central area.
Although he told those guys that he didn't know the way, in fact he didn't need to remember the way at all, because the small crystal ball in his pocket would guide him. He said that just to tease others.
In this commercial area, some flowers, ores, equipment and tools, untamed animals, and even some valuable "villagers" in the trading column are sold.
Galan did not go to see the villagers who were being sold as commodities because he had "no interest" in it.
He used to be full of curiosity about new things, and would even pull his Death Knight to point at the little bugs twisting on the ground and say, "Look! It's alive!" He was a pure child at heart.
Then, he successfully passed through the commercial district and arrived at the central area.
This place is indeed more prosperous than the commercial district he had just visited, especially the huge pillar of light in the center, which is the bridge connecting this world and the player's world.
Under the light column is a special building made of quartz blocks. From time to time, new players will come to this world from the other end and walk out of that building.
It is said that the special building is called "Terminal"
Galan looked around, slowly reached out and lowered the front of his hood, then found a small corner and squatted down.
In crowded places, you would sometimes hear some interesting information inadvertently. Although this is not a place like a pub, but... this is the terminal.
"Calm down... and then... listen." Galan slowly closed his eyes and muttered to himself.
The noisy sounds all around gradually became silent at this moment.
Then, in his mind, with Galan himself as the center point, the surrounding buildings and the ground were planned to be formatted as a scene.
The formatted scene gradually spread to the entire central area, and every move of the players and creatures walking on the ground was engraved in his mind.
Galan felt a bit exhausted and broke out in a cold sweat. The noisy sounds around him were so loud that they seemed to burst his eardrums. These sounds came from all directions in the central city area. Some were sharp and piercing, some were low and roaring, and some were buzzing like mosquitoes and flies.
Even in such a noisy environment, he could still feel what the players were talking about, but it was not easy to find useful information.
"Hey, you say...how did the game officials make it so realistic?"
"I don't understand. How come this game has a tactile nervous system? It's too advanced, isn't it?!"
"Don't you know? Recently the official has added a series of real-world MODs, which will be even more exciting!"
"You said that in such a huge world...will there be NPCs with self-awareness? I'm very interested in that!"
"That's not clear, but if they really have self-awareness, they should be captured and taken to the main base of the Monster Research Institute~"
"Haha~ Who knows?"
Galan suddenly opened his eyes and shook his head. He felt a bit of pain in his head. He really couldn't stand this "ability". He had not yet mastered the technique to eliminate noisy sounds.
However, wasn't the Monster Research Institute supposed to have been destroyed by him before? The main base they mentioned...it seems that the other research institutes outside should be branches.
Galan felt a headache. Should he go there to have a look? Was he rushing to deliver the food?
Galan was struggling with whether or not to go to the main base of the Monster Research Institute.
For some reason, he always felt that there might be something hidden there, and...the scene about the blue devil he saw in the crystal ball last time always felt like it had some connection with the Monster Research Institute.
Galan pondered for a moment and decided not to stay any longer. The longer he stayed here, the easier it would be to be discovered. After walking around for a while, it was time to leave.
But before that...he had to fulfill his agreement with the three villagers first. In order not to attract attention, he decided to take action at night.
When night falls, the players here will log off one by one and exit this world, but there will still be a small number of players who like to stay up all night and stay here.
"That's really weird... Don't these people ever sleep? Are they all night owls?"
Galan hid behind a building and looked at the street in front of him, which was still crowded with people. He felt speechless, but it seemed that he had no right to say anything to them. After all, he didn't like to go to bed early.
Fortunately, there were almost no people at the fork in the road where I met the three villagers.
Galan used the power of the crystal ball and sent the three guys back to their original village under the other party's surprised gaze.
Then he opened another portal and prepared to go back to the south end to see what would happen next. He couldn't find anything useful here.
Is it because I'm too anxious that it hasn't happened yet? It looks like... there's nothing here.
Galan decided to take one step at a time and see what happens. He had no way of knowing the overall process. Even if he came to the players' territory, he would just be running around without any ideas. It would be better for him to stay with them and wait and see.
Moreover, he had a vague intuition that if he stayed any longer, something bad would happen. It seemed that the idea of bombing the player city would have to be postponed for a while.
Galan thought so and stepped into the purple-black portal. As the particle effects of the portal gradually disappeared, the person hiding in the shadows slowly walked out. He stared thoughtfully at the place where the portal disappeared.
"....."
"This game is really not perfect... Monsters can come and go freely, and even took away my prepared experimental materials." The man spoke slowly, his solemn and cold voice without a trace of emotion.
"Mr. Chris, why did you come here in person?" A voice suddenly came from behind him. When the latecomer arrived, he found three empty iron cages in front of him and showed a puzzled expression.
"Oh no? How come he's gone? He was fine this morning..."
"Your improper management caused me to lose three experimental materials of some value..." Chris glanced coldly at the "official game staff" who had just arrived and was standing nearby. Although there was no emotion in his tone, it still made the man shudder.
"How are you officials going to compensate?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chris... This is indeed our negligence... Maybe it was taken away by another player...? You also know... Our game has only been open for less than three years and I just met you, right?"
The staff looked at him tremblingly. What sin had he committed to have to deal with this big devil? He was just an employee!
"Do you really think you're a player? Haha... You're really unreliable. I guess I have to find another way..."
