Chapter 2 New Abyss, New Era
Wu Feng took off his simulation helmet and rubbed his swollen temples. What he had experienced just now could be regarded as the last carnival before the official start of his lord career.
The simulation game he just played is a 99% realistic virtual game launched by the Lords Alliance 40 years ago. It is mainly used to improve the various abilities of the preparatory Lords.
Individuals over the age of 15 can enter the simulation game to simulate the process of becoming a lord and gain experience in managing the territory in advance.
Of course, there are also many 'adults' who are addicted to this virtual game and experience the feeling of being a lord in the game.
After turning 18, people can enter the abyss through the lord crystal and officially become an abyss lord.
Ever since Blue Star fell into the 700th floor of the endless abyss a hundred years ago, the rules have been like this. Adults over 18 can experience the feeling of being an abyss lord.
Collect resources, recruit followers, fight against the endless natural disasters and alien races, and protect the Blue Star world from being eroded.
Becoming an abyss lord is an even more important opportunity to take off than the college entrance examination a hundred years ago. If you manage your territory well, you can achieve a status above ten thousand people, or even become a great lord!
If the territory is destroyed, they can only return to the safe zone and become civilians serving the lords.
Thinking of this, the boy looked out the window at the sunset, and the 18-hour long night was about to begin.
Wu Feng remembered that he had read in history books that before the Blue Star world fell into the endless abyss a hundred years ago, it was still a 24-hour clock, with only 10-12 hours a night.
Nowadays, because the day-night cycle has been extended and changed to a 42-hour clock, there are more than 18 hours in one night. The long nights really make people unintentional to sleep.
"Wu Feng, the 799th floor of the abyss will open tomorrow morning, are you nervous? You performed very well in the simulation game, so you will be fine."
The person on duty in the simulation room happened to be Wu Feng's old classmate Hua Ge. When he saw Wu Feng completing today's simulation course, he came over to cheer Wu Feng up.
Of course, Brother Hua's full name is Liu Qihua, but he has an approachable personality and is like a friend to the students. Everyone prefers to call him Brother Hua.
Maybe it's because Brother Hua's favorite saying is that you are the best class of students I have ever taught?
Wu Feng looked at Brother Hua, who looked concerned, and smiled confidently: "Brother Hua, don't worry, isn't tomorrow the same as the college entrance examination a hundred years ago? As long as I perform normally, there will be no problem!"
Over the past hundred years, a new layer has been added to the Endless Abyss every year. Tomorrow is the day when the 799th layer is opened. According to the rules, novice lords who enter the Endless Abyss for the first time will have a seven-day golden novice period.
During these seven days, only novice lords who enter the abyss for the first time can move in the new level of the abyss. Other resurrected lords need to wait until seven days have passed before they can enter.
This is the 'college entrance examination' for novice lords who have just turned 18. It should be said that it is more important than the college entrance examination!
One of the important variables when descending into the new abyss is that the lords will randomly receive a lord talent.
Wu Feng felt that even with the talent of a low-level lord, he should be able to slowly open up the situation, as long as he was not blocked by the devil's lair at the beginning.
Wu Feng, who pretends to be calm, is still a teenager after all. He doesn't know what kind of start tomorrow will have. No matter how many times he simulates it in the simulation game, he can't adapt to the randomness of the abyss.
Maybe it’s true, as Brother Hua said, that life is unpredictable, and the big intestine wraps up the small intestine?
Brother Hua saw the student's heart, and he patted Wu Feng on the shoulder with a smile: "Xiao Feng, you are too stable. Look at that guy Zhu Biyu, he didn't even come to the last day of simulation, he just went to work at home. Have a good sleep.”
"He also clamored to sleep for 7742 hours, and then he wanted Tianhu to start!"
Wu Feng shook his head: "Lao Zhu's math skills are still so bad. How will he calculate the amount of damage? But he is really optimistic. As long as I don't start the game, it will be fine."
Being interrupted by Brother Hua, Wu Feng no longer thought about it. He was fully prepared, so he just had to concentrate on fighting with all his strength!
"By the way, this is the express delivery sent to the school in the morning. Your simulated ID is called [Sanchi Qingfeng]. This is the package sent to you."
Brother Hua suddenly took out a courier, and the sender written on it was [Qianshan Muxue].
When Wu Feng saw this name, he thought of the beautiful girl who likes to hold her head high like a white swan and look proud. What did this girl send to him?
With a puzzled look on his face, Wu Feng opened the package in front of Brother Hua. It turned out that there were 10 high-quality resource crystals inside, which were often referred to as green crystals by the lords.
"It's actually a dozen green crystals? Then Xiaofeng, you have the starting resources! What a generous friend!" Brother Hua was very surprised after seeing these resource crystals.
The props and items in the safe zone can be brought into the territory using lord crystals. Wu Feng, the new generation of lords who have entered the new abyss, can also bring these things into the territory as "novice gift packs".
For some students whose family conditions are relatively good, their parents will prepare "newbie gift packs" for them. The 10 resource crystals Wu Feng received were actually sent to him by his friends.
"That girl Muxue, although I knew her family situation was better, I didn't expect to be such a rich woman. Is it too late for me to eat soft rice now..."
Wu Feng was also very surprised. [Qianshan Muxue] had never told him that it had sent him these things. Seeing that there was a note on it, Wu Feng picked it up and read it.
"【三级青峰】, don't get me wrong, this is not your 'dowry', we have been working together for so long, I think you are very good."
"These resource crystals are my investment in you, I hope we can continue to cooperate if we really meet in the 799th layer of the abyss. - Your tree hole sister."
The handwriting is beautiful and delicate, but also soft and strong, which is consistent with the image of 【千山秋雪】in Wu Feng's mind, and the handwriting is really like the person.
Wu Feng thought that he gave the territory in the simulation game to 【Qianshan Duxue】 without any warning, but 【Qianshan Duxue】 prepared a 'big gift' for him without any notice before. Can this be regarded as a telepathic connection?
Since it was someone else's good intentions and he also paid the corresponding things, Wu Feng accepted these resource crystals without hesitation.
He will enter the abyss tomorrow morning, and all of these can be used.
"Oh, I almost forgot what your senior sister entrusted me with. This is a green tower defense summon card. It's something your senior sister Su Mu asked me to give you."
"You and Su Mu are my two most satisfied students!"
Brother Hua took out another card with a green border, which was also an excellent quality lord prop.
Wu Feng took the card and a note. On it was a message from Su Mu, who was three years older than him: "A small gift for my junior brother who has worked hard for two years. I hope it can help you get through the last test of the seven-day novice period."
"Senior sister is striving for the position of overlord, and there are no more resources for you. I hope you don't mind."
Su Mu's handwriting is much more three-dimensional. Her words even have a feeling of penetrating the back of the paper. This made Wu Feng think of Su Mu, who was always in military uniform. She never relaxed even when leaving notes for him.
"Brother Hua, please thank Sister Su Mu for me. I should thank her. I have learned a lot from her in the past two years, which is why I can do well in the simulation game."
Wu Feng really thought so in his heart. Su Mu was an outstanding student who graduated from the school. In half a year, because of her excellent performance, she became the official lord of Longguo, which is what was called [civil servant] a hundred years ago.
Su Mu grew very fast with the help of the official power, but she also had to complete some tasks assigned by the official frequently.
So she asked Brother Hua to help her find a few outstanding junior students to help, which could also be used as the content of the lord's practice. It was at that time that Wu Feng recommended himself and became one of Su Mu's deputies. Although he could not enter the 796th layer of the abyss where Su Mu was, he could help do other things.
Wu Feng also relied on learning from Su Mu. From then on, he rose rapidly in the simulation game and also had the status of a non-staff member in the official.
Brother Hua smiled and patted Wu Feng on the shoulder: "Young man, I will help you convey it. I won't give you any resources. My gift to you is all my knowledge and experience. I hope you will have good luck in martial arts!"
It was time to say goodbye. Wu Feng waved to Brother Hua: "Brother Hua, school is over, and I have to go too. See you in seven days!"
After hurriedly saying goodbye to Brother Hua, Wu Feng got on the flying car. This kind of public transportation only takes half an hour to cross most of the city and take him home.
I heard that the public transportation that people appeared a hundred years ago was called subway or bus. Now this flying car is said to be 5 times faster than the subway, but Wu Feng still thinks it is too slow. I don't know how people a hundred years ago could endure that turtle-like speed.
Speaking of which, a hundred years ago seemed to be 2035 in the Blue Star calendar. At that time, the technology of Blue Star was not as advanced as it is now. The era of hegemony when it just fell into the endless abyss was extremely chaotic and tragic.
After 12 years of brutal fighting, the hundreds of races that fell into the abyss together cleared the first 10 layers of the endless abyss and established the current safe zone on the 700th layer of the abyss.
The current safe and stable living environment is the foundation laid by the strong men in the hegemony era.
When Wu Feng raised his head and looked at the huge abyss gate towering above the city, he suddenly thought of the scene in the simulation game where the abyss demon crossed the abyss gate and descended.
Since the abyss demon on the 761st layer can descend to the 762nd layer in reverse, what about the existence of the 699th layer? This safe zone built on the 700th layer...
Is it really safe?
