All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

Chapter 669: Strolling with Old Friends

In a blink of an eye, Wang Zhifan crossed the space and appeared in the capital of Xia Kingdom. He came to the venue of the capital player conference and planned to take a good look around.

Since the start of the World War, the Capital Player Conference has changed from being held regularly to being a permanent one. Players from all over Xia can come to the Capital at any time to obtain the latest dungeon information, find suitable dungeon partners, and trade various equipment.

Wang Zhifan did not come here with the above purpose. He could no longer enter the normal dungeon. Ordinary dungeon information was meaningless to him. The quality and quantity of his equipment were countless times better than those of other players. There was no need to trade. He came here purely to join in the fun and relax.

At this moment, he stepped into the main building No. 3 of the Capital Player Conference. This was a giant hemisphere with a sci-fi shape, covering an area that was probably as large as ten football fields. Otherwise, it would not be able to accommodate players from all over Xia Country, and it would be difficult to provide a variety of rich player services.

The first thing that caught his eye was a small floating machine flying inside the super-huge venue. This small and cute technological creation often acts as a guide for newcomers. When necessary, it will transform into a venue guard to maintain basic order before the arrival of the main maintenance force.

A floating machine that looked like a fat pigeon came towards Wang Zhifan and gave him a synthesized voice:
"Excuse me, sir. What do you need? Are you here to trade equipment? To get the latest intelligence? Or..."

"I'm just here to look around, anything you recommend?"

Wang Zhifan, who came here just to relax, answered immediately.

"If you are here for leisure, I recommend going to Area C. There are all kinds of food and entertainment programs there. Some of them have attribute enhancement effects and are very popular among players..."

"Thank you. I'll go take a look then."

After communicating with the guide machine, Wang Zhifan followed its advice and headed towards area C.

Because the venue was extremely huge and the distance in the middle was not short, he saw players acting in groups of three or five or alone along the way. Most of them were from Xia, but there were also a few who were obviously from foreign countries. It can be seen that the Capital Player Conference is also open to outsiders.

As they walked, a young man from Xia country with a slightly shifty look suddenly approached Wang Zhifan and spoke to him mysteriously in a low voice:

"Handsome, do you need any equipment? We have a large amount of rare equipment here, and the quality and price are many times better than those in the auction house! If you are interested, please contact us. We are open 24 hours a day."

After saying that, he stuffed a small card into Wang Zhifan's hand without leaving any trace, then moved briskly to another place, looking for the next sales target very smoothly, and he performed the whole set of actions with full proficiency.

Wang Zhifan, who was holding the small card, almost laughed out loud at this little episode. How could he, who didn't even look down on epic equipment, care about a channel that mainly sold rare equipment? That was two levels lower than epic equipment!

However, curiosity made him look at the contents of the small card and found a line on it that read:

"Professionally customized rare equipment, fair and affordable, 1% off for new customers, contact number XXX..."

"They even have a rare equipment customization business? If that's true, then they have a skilled player who's a craftsman as his secondary profession. This speed of development is really something that can't be underestimated.

I heard on the forum that some players in the world have made excellent equipment by themselves, but the materials they consumed are too precious, and they are almost losing money. The high-level equipment sold at the player conference may be made by these craftsmen."

Wang Zhifan casually turned the card in his hand into nothingness and gave up the idea of ​​visiting. He knew very well that if there was a group of the strongest craftsman players in the entire Xia country, this group of people must be working for the management bureau, and other civil organizations were just small fry.

After a while, Wang Zhifan arrived at Area C of the venue and found that there were far more people here than in the passage just now. It was almost crowded. It seemed that after the players' conference was held frequently, many people had regarded this place as a leisure place.

Having a lot of people is generally a good thing, but too many people will also dampen enthusiasm for sightseeing. So Wang Zhifan mixed in the crowd and casually looked around to see if there was anything interesting here.

There were many booth-like stalls set up in this place. Each stall offered different features, but overall they were divided into food, cute pets, entertainment, competition and other items.

The food here is quite different from the outside world. The food here cannot be presented to the table without any player characteristics. The more bizarre the food, the more it can stimulate players' interest in trying it.

"Charcoal grilled woodland dragon steak! Made with artificially cultivated woodland dragons! Professionally certified by the Administration, the only one of its kind in the country!"

"Silver Apple of Heaven! If the gold apple is too expensive, try the silver apple! It tastes the same as the gold apple, and its efficacy is nearly one-tenth of the gold apple, and one apple only costs three hundred yuan!"

"The Great Wilderness Ascension Mushroom! Produced in the Great Wilderness series of dungeons! Eating it will allow you to experience the feeling of ascending to heaven on the spot! Directly reach the pinnacle of life! Don't come if you are timid!"

"Meng Po's magical soup! The King of Hell said it was good after drinking it! Do you want to see your deceased relatives? A bowl of Meng Po's magical soup will fulfill your wish!"

"Dharma City's special high-quality nutritional supplement! Contains all the nutrients needed by the human body! One tube will last you a week! The taste is unique and can't be replicated! I guarantee you'll want to eat more after taking it!"

"Alien mixed salad! Exclusive alien channel original healthy plant salad! Green and natural food certified by the Administration! Experience the unique alien flavor!"

……

After taking a casual look at these food stalls, each one more intimidating than the other, Wang Zhifan judged with his powerful perception that these so-called exotic foods were not as extraordinary as they boasted. Many of them were transformed from Earth's products, and only a few of them did have a complete alien aura, but they would be more expensive.

"Waiter, I want some alien potato chips, salt and pepper."

Thinking that his trip should not be in vain, Wang Zhifan walked to a stall with relatively few customers and bought something that looked more appetizing, red potato chips, a rare product from outer space.

This portion of potato chips is not much, but it costs three hundred yuan. If he had not achieved financial freedom long ago, he would not have been so extravagant.

Carrying the expensive red potato chips, he ate while heading to other areas, intending to tour the entire place.

It must be said that the taste of the alien potato chips was worse than he expected. Even with the pepper and salt seasoning, it couldn't cover up the strange earthy smell. But Wang Zhifan still ate it with a frown, not wasting any of it. After a while, he came to the cute pet sales area.

This area was different from the area that sold summons. The animals sold there basically had no combat potential and could only be used as companions like cats and dogs. He took a quick look and left without staying for too long.

After all, he owns a planet called Gaia, where there are countless magical animals and plants. He has seen many more rare animals there than here, and they do not arouse his curiosity at all.

Afterwards he arrived at a special entertainment area where there were many magical entertainment programs that could not be seen outside, such as shaman dancing, visiting the underworld, and a flash of life. These were special entertainment projects that could only be achieved by players, and the prices were not expensive. Wang Zhifan saw some children who were not players coming in to experience them, and he didn't know what their parents' mentality was.

Here he also only watched and did not participate, but the reason was different from that in the cute pet area just now. It was not that he was not interested, but he knew that his attributes were too high. The entertainment projects here basically had no effect on him and could not deceive his five senses. It was only interesting to watch others play.

Connected to the entertainment area is the relatively smaller competition area. Most of the entertainment activities here are competitive and there are rewards for winning, so there are quite a few people playing.

Wang Zhifan didn't want to bully others too much, so he participated in a throwing knife game, trying to win by relying solely on his touch.

This flying knife game does not involve shooting at fixed targets, but rather at erratic will-o'-the-wisp fire. Whoever can hit a will-o'-the-wisp fire within five shots will win a prize, and the more will-o'-the-wisp fires you hit, the better the prize.

As a person who had never played with throwing knives before, the way Wang Zhifan held the throwing knives made the stall owner smile, realizing that he had no experience and would definitely not get any reward, but the result slapped the stall owner in the face.

Wang Zhifan threw the throwing knife with his novice technique, and the throwing knife hit the will-o'-the-wisp whose movement trajectory was almost irregular every time. There were even several times when he predicted the movement direction of the will-o'-the-wisp in advance and hit it. The stall owner couldn't help asking him if he was a professional throwing knife player who came to trick him deliberately.

Wang Zhifan was naturally too lazy to explain. The reason why he could throw the flying knife accurately was not because of his superb skills, but because his basic attributes were too high. Even if he deliberately did not use other abilities and only relied on his sense of touch, the judgment and control abilities brought by his super high attributes were extremely excessive, which resulted in a game that was challenging for other players being a joke to him.

In the end, the stall owner still abided by the rules of the game and gave Wang Zhifan a beautiful rare throwing knife as a reward, looking very reluctant.

Just at this time, an old customer of the stall owner came over, clamoring to win the highest reward, but happened to see the stall owner handing the grand prize, the throwing knife, to Wang Zhifan, which caused a small episode.

"Boss! Here I come again. I will make you bankrupt today no matter what!"

The visitor was a slim young female player wearing a tight leather jacket. She had short hair and looked outgoing. Wang Zhifan felt vaguely familiar with her, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her, so he didn't pay much attention to her.

The woman immediately noticed the rare-grade flying knife that the stall owner handed to Wang Zhifan, and was immediately surprised and said:

"Boss, why did you give him the grand prize? Could he have won five times in a row? I don't believe it! You must have seen me coming and deliberately tricked me!"

"Who is playing you? There is a full video of the whole process! You can see for yourself that his skills are better than yours. You can't deny it, the grand prize has to go to him!"

The boss then called the woman to the recording screen to watch, and made her give up the idea of ​​causing trouble.

The matter seemed to have ended here, and Wang Zhifan turned and left, intending to go to the trading area to take a look. He remembered that he needed to buy something, but the woman behind him quickly made a surprised sound and called him.

"Handsome guy, wait a minute!"

"what's up?"

Wang Zhifan, who had already thrown the grand prize throwing knife into his personal space, turned to look at her, wondering what she would do after watching the full video of the throwing knife.

However, the young short-haired leather-jacketed woman did not mention the flying knife, but asked Wang Zhifan with a puzzled look:

"I feel like we've seen this before in a dungeon. Is that true?"

"Maybe, but I can't remember."

Upon hearing what the woman said, Wang Zhifan remembered the instant sense of familiarity he felt when he saw her. Since the other party also said so, it meant that they had indeed met somewhere.

It is very likely to be a dungeon. After all, Wang Zhifan has played many multiplayer dungeons before, and the number of teammates he has met once is probably countless. This is not something strange.

But this woman seemed more persistent. She stared at Wang Zhifan and tried hard to recall. Within two seconds, she made a breakthrough.

"I remember now! Can you use ice power? Half a year ago, we all participated in a strange dungeon. There was an unfinished building in that dungeon. In the end, you used ice to simulate the appearance of a complete haunted building. We worked together to free the earthbound spirits and pass the dungeon! I played the role of a reporter when passing the dungeon. At the beginning of the dungeon, we were on a strange train with many ghosts on it..."

As the woman recalled and narrated, the originally vague memories in Wang Zhifan's mind quickly became clear. He remembered where he had seen this female player. It was in the Death Train copy a long time ago, when he obtained the Blade of Time and the Blank Winding Belt!

He remembered that apart from the good reward at the end of this copy, the mechanism of the ghost building was very special. It could reset and modify the relevant memories of each player, and then rewind the time, causing the players to clear the ghost building in vain over and over again without realizing it, and almost died of exhaustion.

That is to say, it was the characteristic of Wang Zhifan that he retained more memories, which allowed a breakthrough in this copy. In the end, all the players worked together to find a solution to the game, and jointly built a building for the earthbound spirit-like guy, fulfilling its wish and dissipating it.

"I remember now, you were wearing a sports suit at the time, and you asked me for my phone number when the instance ended. That was a long time ago... I never thought we would meet again after such a long time. This is a rare fate. How about we go for a drink together?"

It was the first time for Wang Zhifan to meet a teammate who was not in his team in reality on Earth, especially since he met this teammate in a dungeon a long time ago. It made him feel like meeting an old friend in a foreign land.

The female player was also very happy to see him recalling what happened, because the reason why she remembered Wang Zhifan so clearly was because she wanted to make Wang Zhifan her long-term partner at that time, and she even memorized his aura in order to find him. (End of this chapter)
