Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

The villagers pointed out a road to Fang Rui, and judging from the fact that he didn't mention a second road, there should only be one hotel in the village.

Following the villagers' directions, Fang Rui easily found the hotel. Pushing open the door and entering the store, he saw the following: chairs on the dining table, a middle-aged woman in the open kitchen, a little girl carrying bowls and plates, and a blonde girl sitting at the bar.

As the door was pushed open, the eyes of the people inside turned to the entrance, and Fang Rui came into their view.

'Is he a guest?' the innkeeper and her daughter wondered.

The blonde girl next to him noticed Fang Rui's attire, modern clothes that were out of place in the current village and town.

In an instant, a complex mix of emotions welled up in the blonde girl's heart: surprise, astonishment...

"Hello, I'm here to stay."

Fang Rui used the power of "reason" to create a pile of currency, placed two silver coins on the bar, and said, "Give me some more food."

"Okay, please wait a moment," the innkeeper replied, and immediately began preparing the food.

The girl beside him handed Fang Rui a key with a note attached to one end, on which the room number was written.

After the two left, the blonde girl suddenly sat down next to Fang Rui and asked in a low voice, "Are you... a player?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Rui turned his gaze to the girl and replied in a low voice, "I am a player, but not the kind of player you imagine."

"We'll discuss the specifics later; the restaurant... isn't the right place to talk."

As Fang Rui spoke, he gestured for Kuina to calm down, and carefully examined the dishes that the innkeeper had brought over...

It was somewhat like a thick vegetable soup with various vegetables, and ordinary wheat bread.

I tore off a piece of bread, dipped it in the soup, and then popped the soup-soaked bread into my mouth.

'Mmm, it's sweet.'

This was Fang Rui's first time trying a Western-style breakfast, and he found the dishes to be a bit too sweet.

While Fang Rui was enjoying breakfast, Kuina, sitting next to him, was pondering Fang Rui's words, "not an ordinary player."

For example, she herself cannot be classified as an ordinary player, since she is an administrator who holds some game privileges.

But I know all the transcendents in the game, and I've never heard of this person.

Could it be a recent breakthrough?

No matter how conflicted Kuina was, Fang Rui had no intention of explaining and slowly enjoyed the meal.

About half an hour later, Fang Rui finished his meal and went to the forest outside the village with Kui Na. After using their detection skills to confirm that no one was around, they began to have a formal conversation.

"First, let me introduce myself. I am Fang Rui, a traveler. I am different from the players you remember because we came to Riad in different ways."

“Different ways? To…” Kuina’s expression was somewhat dazed. She had a premonition that the information she was about to learn would definitely shock her.

"The Riadre, the game you're playing, is connected to this world. How deep that connection is, I don't yet know..."

"And the reason you were able to come to Riad is precisely because of this connection."

"As for why I know these things, I believe you can guess."

"Is there anything you want to ask?" Fang Rui asked, noticing Kuina's blank expression.

"There are many questions I want to ask, but I don't know what to ask first."

Kuina covered her forehead, the sudden bombshell news leaving her dizzy and disoriented.

“You can think about it slowly. I should be traveling with you soon to investigate the situation of the Riad Record.”

"Huh! Traveling with me?!" Quina was shocked again. "Why?"

"If you ask why, the first reason is that I've already met you, and the second reason is that you have some access to the game, so following you should be beneficial."

As for the third reason, Fang Rui didn't say it aloud; there was no need to mention things like finding a travel companion...

"Is that so..." Quina thought for a moment and felt that having a travel companion was quite nice, at least she would have someone to talk to.

"So...when do we leave here?"

"It's up to you. I'm traveling with you. Where we go and when we go are all up to you."

As Fang Rui said, the current level of military power in the world is indeed very high, but it is also very low.

For example, Quina is currently the strongest fighter in the world, while the local inhabitants are generally weak. It's unclear whether this is due to a lack of means to become stronger, or because the world has just adopted new rules and the level of combat power hasn't yet started to rise...

"In that case, let's stay here for a while! I need to catch my breath..."

Whether it was about time travel or what Fang Rui said, Kuina said he needed time to process things and calm her complicated emotions...

"Okay, I have no objection."

He has clones in other worlds, so there's no need to worry about anything; he has plenty of time to wander around.

The two returned to the hotel and went to their respective rooms to rest. Kuina was lost in thought, while Fang Rui was studying the rules of the world. The newly added game rules were not yet hidden and were easy to see.

All kinds of game skills and monsters are recorded in the rules, from which Fang Rui can learn relevant information.

In addition, some space bubbles hanging in the world may have been brought over from the game, such as the spaces where game pets and servants reside.

"If we could retrieve everything from these space bubbles, I estimate..."

In Fang Rui's vision, the sky was filled with spatial bubbles of varying sizes. Some floated in the air like soap bubbles, while others were embedded in space, as if hanging on a wall...

At first glance, it's impossible to count the number of items, let alone how much stuff is inside.

“But collecting them one by one is quite tiring! We’ll talk about it later…”

Fang Rui stopped paying attention to the matter. While observing the rules, he acquired a skill: creating a spatial backpack...

To be honest, it's of no use to him, since he already possesses the art of creating space.

Perhaps it was because he mastered this technique that he was able to comprehend this skill.

It is indeed very possible...

Thinking this, Fang Rui continued to study the game rules. There were many weapon blueprints in the game, and they could be manufactured in the current world, but the problem was...

The weapon effects in this game are really basic!

There aren't any particularly over-the-top weapons, so can you say the game is well-balanced?

But when Fang Rui thought about the game's superhumans, he couldn't bring himself to say anything about good balance...

As night fell, Fang Rui, who was learning new knowledge, was notified by the hotel owner's daughter, Lido, to come for dinner...

"Dinner?" Fang Rui tilted his head and thought for a while. The food in the current world is very ordinary, or rather, ordinary villages and towns do not have dishes made with high-level magical beasts.

"Eat something! Let's maintain the good habit of three meals a day." Fang Rui stopped studying and went to the restaurant on the first floor to have dinner.

When Fang Rui ran into his travel companion, Kuina, in the stairwell, he raised his hand in greeting, "Hey! Have you sorted out your emotions yet?"

"Well, I guess so!" Kuina wasn't in much spirits; a jumble of things had left her mentally exhausted.

"That's good." Fang Rui didn't say anything more and went to the restaurant with her.

The hotel restaurant at night was a complete contrast to the morning; it was quite lively. Villagers who knew each other chatted enthusiastically, clinked glasses, and the aroma of food and the lively atmosphere whetted everyone's appetite...

The two had just sat down at the bar when they saw the hotel owner, Marie, carrying two trays.

"Your dinner, if it's not enough, just say so..."

Perhaps because he was very busy, Mareru turned and left without saying anything more.

Their eyes fell on the plates, and the dishes on their plates were exactly the same, so it seemed to be some kind of set meal.

Fang Rui didn't taste the food, but instead turned his attention to other parts of the restaurant. One of the waiters moving around looked very similar to Marelu and Lido, so they must be related.

Perhaps noticing Fang Rui's gaze, the woman quickly walked over and greeted the two of them.

"Hello, I'm Lu Yina, the eldest daughter here, and I only help out at night."

Chapter 607 White Tower

"Hello."

Fang Rui and Kuina responded briefly, then stared at Lu Yina, waiting for her to continue.

"You must be Kuina, right?"

"Yes." Kuina seemed a little confused, her tone somewhat bewildered.

Before Luina could say anything more, the innkeeper, Marelu, brought several bowls of food to the bar, her tone slightly helpless: "Luina, the food you've prepared is getting cold. Instead of chatting, why don't you serve the guests some drinks?"

The second daughter, Lido, picked up the dishes and walked towards the other tables.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yina closed her eyes and showed the same helpless expression: "I know, I know, Mom is really something."

As she said this, she carried the steaming dishes to the other tables.

Seeing that no one continued to talk to her, Quina began to enjoy her dinner, and her previous melancholy dissipated in the face of the delicious food.

Delicious food can indeed bring people genuine happiness.

Fang Rui looked at the ordinary dishes; the style of the cuisine was unlike anything he had ever seen before.

Each time he travels to another world, he always receives a little surprise, especially regarding cooking methods...

Different worlds have different ecosystems, which in turn leads to different cooking methods.

For example, the tomato soup in front of him smelled sweet and sour. Looking at the dish next to him that resembled fried rice, Fang Rui thought for a moment, then used a wooden spoon to scoop up a little bit and put it in his mouth, chewing slowly...

"The taste is a bit like potatoes, and the other vegetables have a slightly crunchy texture, giving me a feeling of stir-fried green peppers and potatoes..."

After giving his evaluation, Fang Rui continued enjoying his dinner. To be fair, the dishes were quite good for a home-style meal, which explained why the hotel was so popular.

After the meal, Quina resumed her casual conversation, chatting with the family of three at the hotel about the Silver Ring Witch and the Tower.

Watching Kuina run away in embarrassment, Fang Rui tilted his head and smiled gently. He knew the cause and effect, but he didn't expect her to be so shy.

Isn't it just a chaotic battle between players?

It's perfectly normal...

but……

Fang Rui thought of something else: the events that happen in the game are historical events in the current world. From this perspective, the game world and the current world are closely integrated.

However, Fang Rui has not yet grasped how the world and the game are integrated, so he cannot confirm the specifics.

After finishing his meal, Fang Rui did not stay in the restaurant but went upstairs to his room to rest.
