Chapter 23: The Great Prosperity of Hundred Families

Yao Yan raised his head and looked at the sky.

Blue sky.

How long has it been since he really saw the blue sky?

After the catastrophe, he could only see the blue sky in the virtual world.

After he woke up, the sky he saw outside Yancheng was always gray.

But can this be considered the "real" sky?

Even if it is, he didn't feel excited.

It was very plain.

No emotion, no nostalgia, no excitement.

He recalled the information he got from the rat "Lao Jia".

The "berry" given by Lao Jia is actually a spiritual fragment, an information carrier of spiritual form.

The information in the berry tells a lot of basic information about Buzhou Mountain.

Some of it is repeated with what Loulan told him.

As for the other non-repetitive ones, the more important ones for him are probably the basic information such as "container", "contaminated body", "old human", and "thought body".

There is also information related to these trial spaces.

"The trial space is a spiritual space condensed by the spirit and thoughts of the old humans."

"These spiritual spaces are different stories."

He glanced at the streets that were very familiar in style and taste.

It is very similar to the fictional story world of "Crow Paradise" which is based on various myths, legends, and historical works from all over the world or is completely fictional.

However, the difference is that there are "pollutants" and "containers" entering this world.

Instead of "players".

They will occupy the bodies of the "NPCs" in this world, start to act in their identities, and complete their goals.

Standing at the door of the teahouse, he looked around, looking for something.

"Trial space" is different.

In the information given by the rat "Lao Jia", "trial space" itself is a space condensed after the spirit of the old humans escaped, and it should be a "spiritual form" itself.

However, after entering the "trial space", the "pollutants" in the form of spirit and the "containers" with body and spirit will exist in two different ways.

The former will exist in the form of "soul" and "spirit" corresponding to the worldview in this trial space.

Generally speaking, if these worlds have a worldview such as "people cannot directly see spirits and souls", then their existence cannot be directly observed by ordinary "people".

Simply put, different trial spaces have different "rules".

If there is a worldview that "there is no spirit in this world".

Then, after they enter, they will quickly die.

If there is a worldview that "the spirit in this world cannot leave the body",

then, they will be trapped in a corresponding body.

The worldview of the trial space determines everything.

While his thoughts were floating, he turned his head suddenly and looked in one direction.

A man fell to the ground with a thunderous sound, but he quickly got up from the ground.

"Fortunately, this trial space has no subjective will, otherwise I might be discovered now."

However, at this moment, he saw an old man walking towards him.

The man suddenly became alert and took an attacking posture.

But at this moment, he suddenly saw a small black crow coming out of the old man's body and landing on his shoulder.

It was a contaminated body.

The man quickly realized that this person was the contaminated body with Lao Jia.

He let down his guard a little and waited for the other party to come.

When the other party walked less than ten meters in front of him, he stopped and asked:

"Are you with 'Lao Jia'?"

"Yes." After hearing the name "Lao Jia" and confirming that the other party was a fellow traveler, the man nodded and responded, "You can call me 'Shi Bu Jian'."

Bu Jian?

A pseudonym?

Yao Yan did not ask any further questions, and responded with the attitude of an old man:

"Just call me 'Crow'."

"Crow." The man with a clear eyebrow outline glanced at the crow on the other party's shoulder and nodded.

Yao Yan then asked:

"Where are Lao Jia and the others?"

"They should be nearby. Let's go into the trial space together. They should not be far away."

Shi Bujian said as he looked around.

"No need to look for them."

At this moment, a voice rang out.

The next moment, Yao Yan and Shi Bujian saw two figures approaching quickly.

Two people.

Or two things that looked like humans.

"Crow, Shi Bujian."

A tall man who looked strong and powerful, with strong and well-developed limbs, appeared in front of the two with a mean smile on his face.

Next to him, there was an expressionless woman.

Yao Yan glanced at her. Was this one of the black-robed men from before?

"'Yu Buxian', you can call her that, Crow."

After saying this, the sturdy old Jia said:

"I've said before that the goal of coming to this world is to snatch the fruits from the Yan people."

He looked up and glanced around, then turned his gaze to Yao Yan:

"Don't die too many times in this world, otherwise, you will be assimilated and absorbed by this trial space and become a part of this world."

After saying this, Lao Jia seemed to have a hint of meaning, and then said:

"Let's act separately next, and the guys in our chaotic land will not come to coordinate and cooperate."

As he said this, he looked up at the sky again:

"We will gather here again at this time two months later."

After saying this, he turned around and left without any hesitation.

The man and woman who called themselves "Shi Bujian" and "Yu Buxian" left side by side in another direction.

After staying there for a while and thinking about some things, Yao Yan also left the place.

In the teahouse in the small town, the waiter who finally had a break because there were no customers looked at the old man sitting next to him and couldn't help asking:

"Old Gao, why are you back again? I told you that the food in the store can't be shared with you."

"Brother Xiaoer, I didn't ask you to share my food."

Yao Yan recalled some things about the trial space given by "Old Jia" and responded:

"I was just thinking about things. The world is prosperous, but besides the Sheng Wang family, what other forces are there?"

"What other forces are there? Don't you use them to tell stories every day?"

The waiter looked at him with contempt:

"The Sheng Wang has been around for thousands of years, and hundreds of families have paid homage to him. Those who are loyal can survive, and those who violate the rules will be wiped out."

"Besides the Sheng Wang family, there are naturally hundreds of forces."

"The Mohist school that lays down its machinery, the famous school that speaks wildly."

The waiter fluently read out the names of the forces one by one, as if telling a story.

While Yao Yan was listening, he was thinking about something else.

In "World of Crows", in the story dungeon, players can obtain some "extra cards" through various means.

Also, about the "power" level of the "pollutant".
