Above the gray fog

In the dim room, only the light from the computer screen was jumping, illuminating Lin Shan's focused face. His fingertips hovered over the keyboard, staring at the two pixelated little people on the screen. They stood on the top of the hill in the virtual world. Under the hill, countless black dots and structures were arranged into a huge virtual civilization picture.

A transparent dialog box popped up above the head of Lin Shan's game character, the little black man: [Where is this? ]

Ikaros's game image, the little black man next to him, replied: [A newborn void race. ]

Lin Shan's eyes reflected the information on the screen and continued to ask: [What are you doing here? ]

Ikaros's answer: [I am trying to cultivate a potential void race. ]

The sound of keyboard tapping echoed in the room, accompanied by Lin Shan's reply: [What's the use? Can I be a thug? ]

Ikaros: [Not in a short period of time, if it develops well, it is possible. The growth rate of void creatures is much faster than that of Gray Mist Supernatural. It only takes a few hundred years to get the results. ]

Lin Shan: [Will the race you breed obey you? ]

Ikaros: [Yes. ]

Lin Shan; [Can it be brought back to reality? ]

Ikaros: [If your reality is limited to the gray fog universe, it can't be brought back. ]

Lin Shan: [It's a bit like farming in the game. In short, it feels very virtual. ]

Ikaros: [The game on the other side is different from ordinary games. Do you have something to ask me this time? ]

Lin Shan: [Well, I saw a photo in the storage room. There is a photo of you and my predecessor, and some other people. I want to ask, do you know anything? ]

Ikaros: [Predecessor? It's you and me. I also saw the photo you saw. Just like you, I can't remember more than you. ]

Icarus: [I only know that we all come from a place called the ancient world. We know each other and have many companions. These things often appear in my dreams. This has never happened before. I thought that when my memory was restored to the old days, it was fully restored, but I didn’t expect that this was just the beginning. ]

Icarus: [Do you know why I want to help you? Giving you a quota and helping you find what you want are almost unconditional, because I have long discovered that perhaps long, long ago in the old days, we already knew each other and were very good friends. ]

Lin Shan, sitting in front of the computer, looked at the subtitles that kept popping up on the black man, his hands on the keyboard, and he didn’t type for a long time.

Lin Shan: [What you see is not me, but my predecessor. I was born in this era. ]

Icarus: [I know, I also know your predecessor, but this is different. ]

Lin Shan: [What do you mean? ]

Ikaros: [I don't know either... If you came to me to ask me this question, I may disappoint you. Even I haven't figured out what our relationship was in that long history? We seem to have a common goal, but what are we doing? ]

Lin Shan: [Yeah. ], Lin Shan didn't know what to say, so he just typed a "yeah" and sent it over.

Ikaros: [What are you busy with recently? I haven't seen you in the other side game for such a long time. ]

Lin Shan: [This is the second thing I want to tell you. I have to go to the void, which may take a long time, and it may take some time to pay back the quota I owe you. ]

Ikaros: [Will you really pay it back?] There was a strong sense of distrust in the text.

Lin Shan: [I will pay it back. ] Lin Shan gave a positive answer.

Ikaros: [Wait until the Gray Fog Universe is destroyed before paying it back? ] Ikaros teased, but didn't embarrass Lin Shan, and continued to ask; [What is your current strength, what are you going to do in the void? ]

Lin Shan: [Sequence 2, prepare to find immortal food. ]

Ikaros: [What an outrageous promotion speed. I originally estimated that you still had a thousand years to advance to Sequence 2, but I didn't expect it to be so early. No wonder you want to go to the void. Don't you know? The venue of the game of the other shore is a corner of the void. ]

Lin Shan: [There are immortal food in the game of the other shore? ] Lin Shan in front of the computer couldn't help but show joy. If there is immortal food in the game of the other shore, you can search for it in the game of the other shore without risking your life.

Ikaros: [Theoretically, there is, but the area where the game of the other shore is located is a bit special...]

Lin Shan: [So, have you seen it? ]

Ikaros: [No. ]

Lin Shan: [Well, I will leave tomorrow. You have been to the void. Is there anything you need to remind me? ]

Ikaros: [People's fear mostly comes from the unknown, and the void is full of unknowns, and the abyss is synonymous with fear. I don't have much to say about the void. You will know it when you experience it yourself. Believe me, it will be exciting. ]

Lin Shan: [Well, I'm offline. ]

Ikaros: [Good luck. ]

Lin Shan's fingertips lightly touched the power button of the computer. With a slight sound, the light disappeared instantly, and the room sank into a quiet shadow.

He slowly sat back on the bed, and his heart beat more and more fiercely in his chest. Every beat hit his consciousness, reminding him of the long-lost excitement and tension.

It was a feeling he hadn't experienced for a long time, a throbbing that rebounded after a long period of calm.

He was about to embark on a brand new journey, heading to a distant place that was both unknown and full of danger.

This expectation and vision for the future, like an ancient blood, rushed through his veins again, awakening the most primitive desire in his heart.

In the gray fog universe, if Sequence 1 does not appear, he is basically invincible, but how many Sequence 1s are there in the gray fog universe?

This huge universe is a completely safe place for him.

He has been comfortable for too long...

Lin Shan closed his eyes, he could feel every cell in his body trembling restlessly...

He didn't seem to be like this before.

Wherever there is danger, he will hide far away, and will think twice before doing anything. It is better to be a little cowardly than to die.

He should be like this.

Why...

Early morning.

Xiaoduo yawned and was about to knock on the door.

Lin Shan grabbed her raised wrist.

"Let's go."

"Hmm?" Xiaoduo raised her head in confusion, and the next second, tears flashed in her eyes, and she burst into tears.

"What's wrong?" Lin Shan was a little surprised, why did she cry for no reason?

"You hurt me!" Xiaoduo wiped her tears, broke free from Lin Shan's hand, and walked in front to lead the way, "Let's go, the skyrail signal needs to be connected to the skyrail before it can be used."

"Are you really okay?" Seeing Xiaoduo looking aggrieved, Lin Shan didn't know what to say, as he didn't seem to have used much force just now.

"It's okay." Xiaoduo recovered and tore off a flower from the Tengyun mother body and threw it to Lin Shan.
