Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Belloborg is an isolated city standing in the ice field, specifically divided into the upper and lower districts. The difference between the two districts is quite obvious: one is a prosperous town, and the other is a dusty mining area.

After the Star Core Crisis was resolved, the tension between the Upper and Lower Zones eased, but the life crisis remained.

Although the cold wave was caused by the star's core, its duration over hundreds of years has altered the ecological environment. As a result, Yalilo remains frozen, with the melting of the ice and snow a long way off...

Furthermore, the antimatter legions frozen in the ice field were not completely destroyed by the cold; they will reignite the war once the ice and snow melt.

In other words, Belloberg still faces a crisis, and more than one one.

"What a troubled world this is," Ying remarked after listening to Fang Rui's account.

“Indeed!” Paimon agreed, his gaze darting between the ice sculptures standing in the snowfield as he spoke, seemingly worried that they might suddenly crack open and the monsters hidden inside would leap out.

“The star core? For humanity, the threat is greater than forbidden knowledge…” Apep said. “But for the Dragon King, the threat of forbidden knowledge is even greater.”

"Not necessarily. The erosion of a star core is also quite severe; even an elemental dragon king could be affected..."

After all, the star core is conscious. Even if it cannot forcibly erode the elemental dragon king, it can bewitch the elemental dragon king with words and then gradually erode it.

"Is that so?" Upon hearing this, Appepp's expression changed slightly, and he became more vigilant.

Having already been tricked by forbidden knowledge once, Apep is 200% wary of anything that could corrupt him.

"Don't worry, the star core has been sealed, and the sealed one has been taken away from Yalilo. There's nothing to worry about."

Fang Rui offered a comforting remark, "After all, I brought you here to have fun, not to fight."

Upon hearing this, the two relaxed slightly, but remained quite vigilant, as some of the antimatter legion sealed within the ice layer were still alive.

After wandering aimlessly across the snowfield for a while, a town came into view. Towering city walls protected the town from the wind and snow, and a castle, taller than the walls, stood amidst the snow and wind, like a giant gazing at the snowfield.

"The Belloberg you mentioned, is that the place?" Appepp said after looking around for a while. "It looks interesting."

"What you said is interesting. What aspect are you referring to?" Fang Rui looked at Apep, somewhat interested in what he had suddenly said.

“In many ways, I can sense a force lingering in the city…” Apep explained.

Upon hearing this, Ying did not refute it. Although her strength was sealed, her intuition was not. She could sense things, such as the presence of powerful individuals in the city...

"It should be the power of preservation," Fang Rui guessed.

The city builders are a branch of the preservation faction, and it is quite reasonable for them to use the power of the preservation destiny to maintain the city.

"Storage?" Apep asked curiously. "Is it a power system from another world?"

Considering certain circumstances, Fang Rui explained the basics of the other world to the three of them: "Yes, I'll tell you about the cultivation system in this other world..."

Fang Rui explained the basic knowledge about Star Gods, Destiny, and various well-known forces one by one.

“That’s outrageous…” Although Apep had never heard of some of the things Fang Rui mentioned, he could still understand them.

“Indeed!” Ying agreed. She had never encountered such an outrageous world on her travels.

"Amazing!" Paimon exclaimed in surprise.

"By the way, my advice is that you don't need to embark on a destiny path, since destiny is limited to the current world."

Fang Rui offered his advice, but whether the two women accepted it was up to them.

Fang Rui was quite at ease with Ying and Paimon, believing they would be obedient and wouldn't stray onto a path of doom.

Or rather, if Ying were to embark on a life-or-death journey, it would be one of pioneering.

Apep, on the other hand, once dreamed of acquiring power from beyond the world in an attempt to reclaim the dragon's status.

Seeing such outrageous power now, it's hard to say what he will choose.

Chapter 628 The Game of the Mechanical Settlement

The main entrance to Belleburg was guarded, so Fang Rui did not enter through the main entrance. Although he knew some people, none of them were guards.

Therefore, Fang Rui, who had no identification, would definitely be stopped by the guards if he entered through the main gate.

Fang Rui, who didn't want to experience interrogation, brought Ying, Paimon, and Appepp into Belloberg in a different way.

"Going through a wall! This is my first time experiencing this, it's quite novel!" Paimon looked at the thick city wall with great surprise.

She had previously passed through the wall like a phantom, without encountering any resistance.

"If you want to continue experiencing it, I wouldn't mind keeping the spell on you for a little longer."

Fang Rui said, "But I want to tell you that there are Silvermane Iron Guards patrolling the edge of the city wall. If you continue to stay here, you may be caught."

"Ahem, I didn't intend to play here!" Paimon's interest vanished instantly, replaced by a serious expression. "Let's get down to business!"

"What is the important matter?"

My composure crumbled in an instant!

Paimon scratched his head, looking puzzled.

“I knew it…” Ying squinted and put her hands on her hips.

"Didn't we say we were going on vacation? What serious business is this?" Apep, being rather straightforward, voiced his doubts upon hearing this.

“Oh! Right…” Paimon looked enlightened. “We’re here to have fun.”

His simple and honest nature is unmistakable.

“But…” Paimon looked around. Some people were strolling in the city, but he didn’t hear any hawking.

"It's a bit deserted! I didn't see anything interesting."

"After all, it is a planet that was once ravaged by the star core. Most of its resources are used to continue to survive, and there are not many resources available for entertainment."

Fang Rui explained Belloberg's situation, saying that it was quite surprising that Belloberg could endure the cold wave for so long.

"So how do we play?" Paimon asked, puzzled.

“Hmm…” Fang Rui thought for a moment and said, “How about going to the Rift to fight monsters? The monsters are all new, it should be quite interesting to fight them.”

"I refuse! ...Fighting monsters can't be considered entertainment at all!"

Paimon raised his hands, crossed them, and resisted strongly.

"Who said that? Everyone knows that fighting monsters is a form of entertainment in Tartaglia."

Fang Rui retorted, and Paimon was speechless. D'Artagnan was indeed someone who could find joy in the midst of battle.

"Ahem! Let's try a different form of entertainment," Ying said.

Tourists shouldn't be fighting!

"Alright!" Fang Rui thought for a moment, wondering what was worth playing in Belleburg.

But after thinking about it carefully for a while, I couldn't think of a suitable one. In fact, I could only say that a museum could be considered an entertainment venue.

The boxing gym in Panyan Town is also an entertainment venue, but...

Luminous and Paimon were definitely unwilling, since they both hated fighting, especially pointless battles.

"The mechanical settlement has a form of entertainment called mechanical pet combat, which involves using your knowledge and collected mechanical parts to assemble a robot and then fighting against robots assembled by other people..."

"Since it's a recreational activity, participants can gamble on something."

“Sounds…interesting!” Ying nodded slightly. As a traveler, her strength lies in knowing a little bit about everything, and repairing machinery and cooking are among her more proficient skills.

after all……

No matter what world you live in, you need to eat, so Ying's cooking skills are the best among the techniques she has mastered.

Secondly, she possesses knowledge of mechanics, which ranks second among the technologies she has mastered. After all, every world has some mechanical products to varying degrees, and over time, Ying has acquired a whole bunch of miscellaneous mechanical knowledge.

Of course, this ranking of knowledge excludes martial arts skills.

“Uh…” Paimon was silent for a moment, then looked at his slender hands and said, “Whether I can even disassemble the robot is a question.”

“I…” Apep gazed at the distant buildings. He had once watched the Red King research various technologies, but he hadn’t learned a thing. He possessed a kind of clarity that had not been tainted by knowledge.

"It's alright, we can ask someone for help. I know two people who can help you."

Fang Rui thought of Clara and Schwarz, who should still be in the mechanical settlement.

“Okay, let’s take a look first,” Ying said.

The group arrived at the cable car station. As Bronya had instructed, the cable car operated twice a day, once at 9:00 AM and once at 5:00 PM.

The current time is 4:30, you still have to wait a while.

Sitting on a public bench at the station, Fang Rui looked around and didn't see many people waiting for the train. There were only two people in total: the ticket seller and the security personnel.

In a corner of the cable car station, there was a bookshelf with a few ordinary magazines on it.

"There aren't any shops selling snacks."

From near the city gate to the cable car station, Paimon didn't see a single restaurant or snack shop.

Paimon was puzzled, after all, she and the Traveler had traveled to several countries, and there were many restaurants and snack shops in the towns of each country.

However, Belloberg did not, which puzzled her.

"That's normal. Belleburg's situation is terrible. They're barely making ends meet, and there are very few restaurants available."

"That bad?" Paimon looked surprised; she knew more about Belloberg's situation.

“It’s pretty bad,” Fang Rui explained the crisis in Belloborg. “First, there’s the land. Belloborg needs more land to grow crops, but melting ice and snow will release the antimatter legion sealed within the ice…”

“It’s really bad!” Ying said, frowning.

To survive, one must cultivate land, but cultivating land will lead to encounters with enemies.

Ying has no way of knowing how many soldiers of the antimatter legion are hidden in the ice, but from Fang Rui's story, she knows that the antimatter legion once plunged Yalilo into a desperate situation at its peak. Now, Yalilo, weakened by countless times, is fighting against the antimatter legion, which has also been weakened by countless times...

It's really hard to say who will win or lose!

But Belloberg is bound to collapse, after all, Belloberg's supplies can't last long...

"Hey! Fang Rui, what are you doing here?!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the side. Fang Rui turned his head and saw a familiar person in his field of vision.

"Hiluva, what are you doing here?"

"Who?" Ying and the others looked at Shiluva in confusion.

"This is Belleburg, of course I'm here, but why are you here?"
