Day by day in the infinite game

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.

The 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 of his hand. It was a curved line with corners.

The same goes for Mengru and Lan Lan, 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, that is, the heart of the city?" Lao Tian's loud voice lit up again.

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

Be sensible, brother!

"Don't worry about whether 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?"

Laojiu disliked Lao Tian for smiling like a fool, so he moved aside as he spoke.

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 trying to do 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 up 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 we 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 me 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 thirteenth person they have seen with the same image.

Is this unique city filled with 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 vague dark light quickly flashed in his eyes.

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

She looked at her friends for help.

Players came 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 finally understood what the other party meant through the cockatiel's unique language talent.

"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 even the highest-ranking person in the city looked haggard and malnourished. The only good thing was that

A little bit, maybe because 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 areas where they overlap, but there are also many areas where things are completely unrelated.

"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 be 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 speed of everyone's progress was not very fast. All the players who were rushing on the road under 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 players, who were hot and tired, relaxed their strength and leaned against the wall of the nearby building.

Someone was hungry, so he 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.

Sensing 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 in 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 wasn't a delicacy. What everyone ate was just ordinary home-cooked food and street food. No matter how delicious it was, you wouldn'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, and no one

Farming, I don’t even know what farming is and what crops are..."

"Oh!" Lao Tian's mind became active again when he saw the excitement, and his eyes lit up.

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

No wonder I can't see any green plants 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.
