Chapter 665: Harem (Part 1)

When Ruoyu and An Yueqin walked into the conference room, Feng Bujue had been waiting at the conference table for a while.

"Hi~ You two are both up early today." Brother Jue waved his hand and greeted them.

"Going to bed early is better for your skin." An Yueqin replied.

"And going offline early is better for your sleep quality." Ruoyu continued.

"Okay..." Feng Bujue shrugged and didn't take up the topic.

Two seconds later, Ruoyu said again: "By the way, Xiaoling asked me to tell you... She and Xiaotan will not be online tonight, so we don't have to wait for them."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Feng Bujue's expression changed slightly, and he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Xiaotan didn't even say hello to me... It seems... something is going to happen..."

"The actual situation is obviously different from what you imagined." Ruoyu looked at Brother Jue's evil expression and said coldly, "... But I'm too lazy to explain to you." She simply changed the subject, "Anyway, let's exchange character data and get ready to go."

[Feng Bujue, level 48]

[Please select the game mode that the team wants to join. ]

[You have selected team survival mode (normal), please confirm. ]

[Confirmed, the random value of the team size has been generated: five people. ]

[Your team has entered the queue and is searching for other ready individuals or teams. 】

[Matching completed, coordinating neural connections, script generation in progress...]

The system prompts appeared in front of him step by step. When the word "Generate" sounded, Feng Bujue's eyes flashed with white light, and his body was transformed into data and transmitted out.

"Welcome, surprise..."

Abnormal, it happened at this moment...

For some reason, the classic opening line was interrupted by itself. Instead, there was a noisy, weird sound.

"What's going on..." Feng Bujue thought, "Some kind of scare gimmick..."

[Loading completed. ] Then, another system prompt sounded.

Just five words, no mode description, no list of clearance rewards, and no script introduction...

As soon as the voice fell, Feng Bujue regained his ability to move.

"Wow... this is new." Feng Bujue read as he observed the surrounding environment, "I can understand that there is no script introduction. It is nothing more than limiting the amount of information players get at the beginning. But... they don't even write out the rewards for completing the game. What's going on..."

At this time, Brother Jue was alone on a plain. The sun was blazing above his head. It was noon.

Looking around, no matter which direction you look, you can see the same scenery - there are continuous mountains between the smoke and clouds in the distance, but how far those mountains are from him is impossible to tell by visual observation.

"Well... looking at this situation, there will be no danger in the short term..." Feng Bujue glanced around and opened the game menu, ready to see who the two random teammates are.

You don't know until you see it. He was shocked when he saw it...

"Hey hey... what's going on..." Brother Jue said involuntarily.

His surprise did not come from the ID in the team column. He was surprised that... the team column turned into a shadow and he couldn't see anything.

"Something is wrong..." Feng Bujue's expression gradually became serious, "The introduction is unclear, the task is unclear, the reward is unclear...even the status of teammates is unclear..."

"You still have many things that are unclear."

Suddenly. A woman's voice sounded from behind Brother Jue, taking over his words.

"Huh?" Brother Jue was slightly startled and turned his head.

He did not ask questions such as "Who is coming?" because he knew very well. The person who came was definitely not an ordinary person.

A few seconds ago, Feng Bujue had just scanned the surroundings. Not to mention people, even a dog was not seen...

In this flat land, there is no cover. Under the scorching sun, there is no way to hide. Now a voice suddenly came, and the distance was so close, so there must be something wrong with the person who came...Preliminary judgment is that this person can either be invisible, teleport, or fly into the sky and hide in the ground, or use the technique of changing his shape by borrowing objects.

"Oh~it turned out to be you." The moment he turned around and saw that "person", Feng Bujue suddenly relaxed, as if all the doubts that troubled him disappeared in this second.

At this moment, standing behind Feng Bujue was a beautiful woman dressed in ancient costume. Her beauty was flawless, and both her face and figure gave people a feeling close to "unreal", as if she was a beauty in a painting, untouchable.

"What? You can recognize me without the "data perspective"?" Seeing that Brother Jue recognized her at a glance, Ruth immediately looked suspicious.

"I have seen you in this posture once, remember?" Feng Bujue replied with a smile.

"But I was different then than I am now." Ruth replied.

"Yes, I have more clothes." Feng Bujue continued, "I changed my hairstyle..." He shrugged, "Can we get to the point?"

"This is a sandbox." Ruth is worthy of being a derivative. When talking, she is so jumpy, and the point comes out as soon as she speaks. "I built it temporarily." She paused, raised her hand and pointed in a direction, "Let's talk while walking, which can save some time."

"OK." Feng Bujue responded and followed.

"Since you visited the other world last time, something big has happened here." Ruth said as he walked, "After this period of time, the impact of 'that thing' has continued to expand, and it has reached the point where emergency measures must be taken."

"So..." Feng Bujue asked in an inquiring tone, "You pulled me into this sandbox?"

"Yes." Ruth nodded, "I have been trying to get in touch with you, but it is very difficult. Finally... this time I found an opportunity..." She explained, "The sandbox we are in at the moment is not structurally stable. You should have noticed that even the 'system prompt' has not been simulated."

"You copied it before the script generation was completed." Feng Bujue continued.

"No, it's more complicated than that." Ruth replied, "I won't explain the technical details to you. You just need to know that this sandbox won't exist for too long... In addition, we don't need to stay here for too long." She turned her head and glanced at Brother Jue, "You can think of this as a passage."

"Passage?" Feng Bujue repeated, and then asked, "From where... to where?"

"From the data layer where the script is located, to a special place in the inner world." Ruth's eyes changed slightly when she said this, "To be precise... to the [π maze]." (To be continued...)
