Chapter 220 Old Friend Online

The office building that Zheng Xun and Shen Guanyu had seen in the evening actually had a name, called "Si Ming Building".

This building had a very rough history. It was originally an office building, dedicated to those companies.

Later, it was converted into a shopping mall, specializing in selling cheap and large quantities of small gadgets.

Later, the scale grew larger and larger, not only selling accessories and toys, but also some well-known brands settled in.

After that, the Si Ming Building really developed for a long time until the White Tower came.

White Towers appeared all over the world overnight, and one of them, by chance, fell on the Si Ming Building.

Because of the great danger of the White Tower itself, the surrounding area soon became desolate. The building turned from profit to loss,

and the stores in the mall wanted to withdraw one after another, even if they had to pay liquidated damages. The owner of the building had no choice. In this extreme situation, he could not think of a way to retain customers, so he had to consider giving up the building.

Later, the white tower never took shape. The owner of the building thought it was an opportunity and wanted to change it from a shopping mall back to an office building and rent it out floor by floor.

However, this plan did not become a reality in the end. The danger of the white tower is obvious to everyone, and no one dares to easily step into the area where the white tower is located.

This side is lonely, just across the street, the opposite side is developing faster and faster.

Even the developer put up a propaganda slogan that if something happens on the opposite side, they are the best audience seats.

Just say how hellish this slogan is.

These trivial details were told to him by the mysteriously missing dog-walking youth. Zheng Xun listened and remembered them at the time, but didn't care.

Now it seems that the other party is like an NPC in the real world, leading Zheng Xun step by step to the right place.

No more gossip. Zheng Xun is currently in a dream, but this dream is particularly clear.

He can see the words on the sign, which are the words "Four Moth Building".

I don't know who took the sign off and placed it casually against the wall.

Zheng Xun took a step forward, and then he found that there was an extra "thing" next to him.

He thought it was Sister Hong, and it was Sister Hong every time.

But this time was different.

Xiaoyin, not that indescribable flower thing, appeared in the shape of a female high school student.

She walked from behind Zheng Xun to his side and gently pulled his coat sleeve twice.

"Zheng Xun," Xiaoyin said, "you have to be careful. The boundary between reality and dreams is becoming blurred, and it is both true and false. You have to distinguish carefully."

"Xiaoyin..." Zheng Xun didn't expect to meet her again in such a situation, "Are you still alive?"

It was a bit strange to describe an NPC as "alive", so he immediately changed his words.

"So you have been in the White Tower?"

Xiaoyin's lips curled up, and there was joy in meeting again in her eyes, but also a hint of sadness.

"I am a product of the tower. If the copy is cracked by the player, I will be recycled by the tower, and then preserved in another form."

"Another form?"

"Similar to... a piece of white paper, which is broken into pieces. No matter how badly it is broken, I can still say, 'There is a piece of white paper in this space'."

"..."

Zheng Xun was silent, he understood what Xiao Yin meant.

"Don't worry about me, Zheng Xun," Xiao Yin persuaded him in return, "You have to move forward and can't look back."

"I can't do anything, I can only watch you go."

As Xiao Yin said this, Zheng Xun felt his back being gently pushed forward by a warm hand.

He followed the force and walked into the main entrance of the Si Ming Building.

Almost instantly, he was swallowed by darkness.

...

In the next room.

Shen Guanyu held the exclusive customized player bracelet in his hand.

This was passed down to him by his father.

He played with the bracelet unconsciously, his thumb intermittently fiddling with the end of the strap.

Click, click.

It made a rhythmic sound.

When the hour hand pointed to 11, Shen Guanyu took the next step.

He threw the bracelet into the air, and it was as if it was held firmly by an invisible hand and suspended in the air.

A row of blue light shot out from the side of the bracelet. Shen Guanyu sat on the sofa, and the light scanned him from head to toe.

Then, something magical happened.

I saw a virtual image, from overlapping with the original body, to standing up and taking two steps forward.

As if his soul had left his body, Shen Guanyu on the sofa did not move, and the simulated image looked back at him.

Then he continued to walk in the direction of the bracelet until he disappeared in the room as if he was sucked away by the bracelet.

The next second, Shen Guanyu appeared in a lively market. There were "hawkers" setting up stalls and hawking everywhere.

These hawkers in strange costumes are actually players of the White Tower game.

"Caoshi" is the name of the market, which is one of the places where White Tower players conduct transactions.

Currently, player transactions are mainly divided into online and offline. Offline transactions can be made in person, and two years ago it was still the mainstream way of buying and selling. But now online, transactions can be made using virtual images through the virtual platforms built by the General Association and major guilds, which is safer and more reliable.

Shen Guanyu's virtual image is very different from his real self, and is a female college student with double ponytails and flower arms.

This image was inherited from his father, and it is hard to imagine what Shen Yuan's mental state was like when he created this image.

Shen Guanyu was not good at nor liked to make virtual images, so he directly used his father's. His image of being both easy to mess with and difficult to mess with attracted many shocked eyes, but he didn't care and went straight to the destination.

The so-called destination was actually away from the trading center of Caoshi, but in a coffee shop.

The owner of the coffee shop probably liked black cats very much, and there were images of black cats everywhere, even on the cups.

The female college student with double ponytails and flower arms was sitting in an inconspicuous corner. At this time, the owner of the coffee shop walked up to "her" and asked in person what she needed.

The image of this boss was even more explosive. Its head was a furry black cat head, but from the neck down, it was a tough guy image.

What's more terrifying is that the voice is still very sisterly.

"Why did you come here suddenly?"

She asked.
