Day by day in the infinite game

Chapter 105 105. Side Missions
Shen Jinsong did a quick calculation with some confusion on his face.

"This trip is not life-threatening, but it is very difficult." He turned around and told Song Yuanze the information he had found out.

The last time he won the group question-answering individual competition, the reward he received was a divination book, which gave him the ability to ascertain destiny through calculation, which is the "divination" left by his ancestors.

Hearing that there was no danger, the tension about the black particles suspended in the air had just dissipated, but no one took off their masks, even though it was very muggy.

"Let's take a look at the previous clues. I think we should be able to use them."

Dong Mingzhe suggested.

Players responded one after another, taking out their clues and scratching at the coating.

"What is this? I can't understand." Someone said in confusion.

"I can't understand it either. Is this a map?"

Tang Qinqin looked at the clue scraped out from his hand. It was a curved line with corners.

The same is true for Mengru and Lanlan, but they are slightly different.

Or should they be put together?
Everyone has undoubtedly thought of this, and gathered together to piece together the clues in their hands with no clue and a confused look on their faces.

"I asked, could we have a treasure map in our hands, the heart of the city?" Lao Tian's loud voice lit up again.

"Come on, how could a treasure map give so many clues? The treasure must be secretive." Changfeng looked at the excited Lao Tian and couldn't help but pour cold water on it.

Be sensible, brother!

"Don't care if it's a treasure map or not. We have so many clues and we still don't know how to understand them. Wouldn't it be nice to solve the immediate problem first and then discuss it later?"

Lao Jiu disliked Lao Tian and smiled like a fool, and moved aside while talking.

Everyone got together to figure it out for a long time, and changed several ideas to put it together, but the results were all unsatisfactory.

"How about doing it in numerical order?" someone suggested.

The players tried again and arranged them from small to large. There were a few empty positions in the middle, which were the missing clues.

Everyone stood in their positions and connected the clue map in their hands with the clues of the people around them. This time, a complex figure appeared faintly.

"Judging from the clues we have so far, this is a maze map. We entered through the city gate. The city gate should be the entrance to the maze. Now we need to identify which location on the map is the city gate in order to find the corresponding exit."

Shen Jinsong analyzed.

There are no words or special markings on the clues that everyone received, and the location of the entrance and exit cannot be seen at a glance.

"How about we go ask them?" Everyone looked in the direction indicated by Tang Qinqin's eyes.

……

The man in front of him had dark skin and thin skin, protruding cheekbones on his face, short stature, and almost no sparse hair lying on his head. He looked like a malnourished wanderer.

This is already the 13th person they have seen with the same image.

Is it this unique city with so many homeless people, or is it?

Tang Qinqin didn't even dare to speak too loudly, so he lowered his voice and said, "Hello, excuse me, are you a permanent resident here?"

The short man opposite looked at Tang Qinqin, who had fair and plump skin and a rosy complexion. A faint dark light quickly flashed in his eyes.

He opened his mouth and muttered something, but it was obvious that Tang Qinqin didn't understand.

She looked at her friends for help.

Players stepped forward to output various foreign language dialects, and finally found that they could not communicate with each other in the languages ​​they knew.

In the end, Song Yuanze understood the meaning of the other party's expression through the unique language talent of the cockatiel.

"He said he didn't know either, but he could take us to the person in charge here."

When everyone came to the place where the person in charge was, they saw the so-called person in charge, and their doubts became even greater - why did even the highest-ranking person in the city look haggard and malnourished? A little bit, it may be that he has been indoors all year round, his skin is fair, and his figure is much better than skinny.

After getting the map of the city, everyone compared the clues they had pieced together.

There are overlaps, but there are also many unrelated places.

"This should be the city gate we just passed by." Peng Lei lightly circled the clue with a marker and wrote "Enter".

Then the next step is to continue moving along the clue map and follow the map to find out.

"Let's go and find the treasure!"

Lao Tian excitedly rushed to the first one.

The players found the direction and were all in a hurry. No one noticed that someone in a high-rise building not far away was staring at them closely.

While comparing maps and clues, everyone moved forward, but the progress was not very fast.All the players who were rushing in the bright sun were covered in sweat, and their faces wearing masks were hot and humid.

"There are no plants in this city, and there are no restaurants or supermarkets. It looks very strange."

Lan Lan asked in confusion.

The replica-like architectural style made everyone dizzy and visually fatigued.

"Everyone take a rest where you are!"

The hot and tired players relieved themselves and leaned against the wall of the nearby building.

Someone was hungry, took out a piece of fragrant food and ate it.

This aroma spread quickly in the air with a unique smell, and also spread to nearby buildings.

The players who were resting against the wall soon discovered a group of dark and thin people approaching them, gradually surrounding them.

Feeling that the visitor was unkind, the players had to drag their tired bodies to get up, with a look of reluctance on their faces.

After Song Yuanze finished communicating with their leader, he looked back at everyone with an expression of disbelief.

"They said they smelled a fragrance they had never smelled before and were attracted to it."

In fact, he didn't believe it.It's not a delicacy from the mountains and seas. What everyone eats is just ordinary home-cooked food and street snacks. No matter how delicious it is, you won't be attracted by such a taste.

"Then what do they usually eat?" someone asked.

Song Yuanze continued to communicate with them, then turned around and answered everyone's questions inexplicably: "They said that they usually eat a kind of artificial food, called nutrient solution. They said that the food here is distributed uniformly, in exchange for labor, no one Farming, I don’t even know what farming is and what crops are..."

"Oh!" Lao Tian's eyes brightened as he watched the excitement.

What kind of place have they come to? There is no land here?Take nutrient solution?

No wonder there isn’t a single green plant to be seen along the way.

Isn't this the interstellar city in the novel?
Lao Tian, ​​who was burning with curiosity and gossip, suddenly became excited. He stared at his boss, looking forward to getting first-hand information.

Tang Qinqin Laojiu and others are more concerned about, since there is nutrient solution, why do they still look like they are malnourished all year round? Is it because the daily supply of nutrient solution is too little?

There is something weird everywhere here. Although there is no danger, it makes people feel very uncomfortable.

At this moment, Tang Qinqin heard a "ding" in his ear.

"Everyone, get ready, it's time to work!"
