Lost Narrative Poetry

The huge platform seemed to have remained unchanged forever. The soft ball of light was suspended directly above it, blooming quietly, filling every inch of space on the platform.

The platform was still surrounded by that empty and dead void, like the cold deep space of the universe, the darkness that could swallow everything... Although it felt terrible, it seemed that if you fell out, you would die.

However, in the final analysis, it is just a theme background. White Space has no conscience to the point where it can directly divide the endless vast space of the universe for him to use as a personal area.

It's easy to change the theme, but Xia Ran doesn't have that idea now. He thinks this is good.

The lone wooden door on the platform is still the only facility. If there are no other operations, as long as you open this door, you can directly enter the world of this mission...

However, because there was still time to stay, Xia Ran was not in such a hurry. Instead, after browsing the exchange list again, he directly applied for access to the public area.

Although I don’t have high hopes, it’s always more promising to go and see more than not to see at all. What if you happen to come across something that suits you? Not only is it suitable for matching your abilities and your current stage, but it is also suitable for your consumption level...

Go take a look, you may not be able to encounter such a good thing. But if you don’t go and see it, you will definitely not encounter such a good thing.

The difference between the two must be very clear, so Xia Ran decisively chose to try his luck.

…

…

However, after being teleported to the huge square, he was first shocked because the square had undergone very obvious changes compared to the last time he came here. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was earth-shaking -

"What's going on...has the version been updated?"

He looked at the center of the square in front of him, and saw several huge stone pillars towering into the clouds. He could see them at a glance from such a long distance, and the majestic energy like lightning was shining between the stone pillars and stele.

"What version is updated... This is a battlefield mission, okay?"

At this time, a crisp voice came directly from the side, answering his question arrogantly and disdainfully.

Xia Ran subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of the sound, looked straight ahead, and then realized that she saw nothing... She could only see a handful of dull hair swaying at the bottom of her field of vision?

"Are you a newbie?"

The speaker is a petite lolita, visually estimated to be 1.4 meters tall, no more. Although the specific appearance cannot be seen clearly due to the protection measures of the white space, she can still tell that she is very beautiful, and she is holding a baby in her arms. For a doll like a little bear, this behavior seems to be in line with her appearance.

There is also a portal behind her, which is blooming with ripples like water. It seems that it must have just accessed this huge square from the personal area.

So, she is right next to him. Can this be considered a neighbor in a sense?

A strange thought came to Xia Ran's mind, and then she nodded and said, "Yes, I just completed a mission..."

"No wonder I don't even recognize the main line of space..." The hair on the top of Loli's head was swaying. She held the doll in her arms and looked at Xia Ran up and down, with a clear look. .

"The main line of space? Can I ask, what is this?"

Xia Ran's heart moved and she asked quickly.

"Hmph, it's not some important secret information anyway. The space has been released directly, so I will show mercy to you, this newbie." The 1.4 meter loli put her other hand on her hips and put on a showy look. He looks like a cute little adult.

Xia Ran raised his eyebrows. A lost person cannot simply guess his age based on his appearance. Taking himself as an example, his mental age is definitely greater than his physical age. After all, the time in the real world and the alien dimension are not equal.

But it is not completely without influence. Physical age will in turn affect psychological age. To be precise, youthful appearance will inevitably affect psychological maturity to a certain extent. This is understandable.

So, is the 1.4-meter loli in front of me simply pretending to be young, or has she really not grown up in a certain sense?

"The so-called space main line is just a joking name. The official name is just like what I told you before, it's called a battlefield mission. You probably don't know yet. Most of the time, it's difficult for lost people to get together. Doing tasks.”

The 1.4 meter loli didn't know what the guy in front of her was thinking, so she proudly taught the rookie common sense from the perspective of a senior.

"Because the lost are lost in the long river of time, they enter different worlds one after another. This is completely random. It just depends on whether your wavelength can connect to a certain world at the right time. Channel…”

"But precisely because it is completely random, the probability that the lost people will be able to enter a certain world at the same time is very, very slim, because compared with the infinite world, even if the number of lost people is increased countless times, it is only a drop in the ocean... …”

Xia Ranruo nodded with understanding. In this way, in fact, most of the lost people are loners. If there are no accidents, I am afraid they will never meet others of the same kind in the mission world.

After thinking quickly, he touched his chin and asked a question with some confusion: "But I heard that white space supports teamwork. Is there any relevant mechanism in this regard?"

"So this is the key." The one-meter-four Loli waved her hand and continued proudly, "If you join a team, you will find an additional option to choose the world. How many members are in the team? How many worlds are there to choose from…”

Xia Ran narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he vaguely understood something: "The mission world itself is also a kind of resource?"

The lost invade other worlds through dreams. Everyone's dreams are different, so they will enter different worlds.

But white space can lock a lost person's dream and help other lost people access this dream. Is this equivalent to sharing copy resources?

"Tch, as a rookie, your reactions are very quick..."

The petite little girl stared at him for a long time before saying unhappily that this was the key point that she planned to talk about behind closed doors.

"This is indeed the case. The mission world itself is also a type of resource. Not everyone can encounter a suitable world. Most of the worlds are ordinary and will not help them improve much."

Xia Ran frowned and made his own guess:

"So the battlefield mission is an upgraded version of the team mission? Because it is not open to members of a certain team, but to the entire space, it is called the space main line..."

"Hmph, you know everything, why are you still asking me?" The 1.4-meter-long Loli seemed to be in a worse mood. She snorted again, admitting in disguise that Xia Ran's guess was correct.

Moreover, she herself couldn't help muttering——

"It's probably someone who was lucky or unlucky and came across a high-level world. It's also possible that a heritage beacon was opened. Anyway, if you can't chew it down, you can only open it as a battlefield mission... At least it's still possible. Make a lot of extra money.”

"Making a fortune?"

"Yes, that person made the world he explored public. If others want to enter, shouldn't they spend some money to buy tickets or something?"

The one-meter-four loli glanced at him: "Anyway, this is a good opportunity. Most people in the recent space will enter it... But novices like you often don't have any particularly powerful abilities. It's best not to use it." To take risks, do two missions to strengthen yourself first."

"That's right, thank you, but won't you miss the opportunity by doing the task?" Xia Ran nodded, but still had doubts.

"Generally not. This is the first time I have encountered this kind of space main line. However, it is said that it will take a long time to complete the strategy. If it doesn't go well, you may have already completed ten tasks. It It’s not over yet.”

The 1.4 meter loli waved her hand impatiently.

"Okay, I've told you enough... Can't you just go and see for yourself before making a decision? Anyway, a novice like you who has just completed a mission should be the least afraid of losses, even if he dies. It’s never better than the weak state before.”

It seems that she really has the kind of personality of a little adult, her interest comes and goes quickly. She who was in high spirits just now seemed to lose her energy all of a sudden. She turned around and left with the doll in her arms.

Xia Ran blinked his eyes, and then realized what he was doing. For a moment, he felt like he couldn't laugh or cry.

If he had known that the other party had this kind of personality, he would not have said anything just now, and just pretended not to understand anything, and would have humbly asked for advice and studied hard. This little girl must be in a good mood to tell him more information!

The trouble with people is that it is good to be a teacher...

——What a mistake.

After pondering for a while and sorting out the information, Xia Ran raised her legs and walked towards the magnificent stone pillar that looked like a star gate. He wanted to take a look at this so-called main line of space before making a decision.

Along the way, he also took a look at the products on some stalls to see if there was anything suitable for him. He did not forget his initial plan.

Even though I don’t have much hope, but...

He had just passed a stall when he suddenly stopped, then took two steps back to the stall, looking down at the 3D projection information displayed on a product——

It was something that looked like a pistol, but the name showed that it was not a firearm, but a "neural adjustment device."

"Can you talk about this thing...?" Xia Ran seemed to be interested.

"What's there to say? Isn't it all shown above...Have you ever played "Prey"? It's the black technology in it, some inter-star and cross-generation invention, which allows people to directly learn skills, but this is without prior adjustment. It’s an original instrument, so it won’t install any definite knowledge or skills on you after using it.”

The stall owner seemed to be a fat young man with an uncle's face, and he said this lazily.

"It only has the most primitive and simplest effect, which is to adjust the user's brain circuits, strengthen abilities, stimulate potential, etc... Anyway, don't completely apply the game mechanism to look at it, it really won't let you directly become Scientist or security guard.”

"What exactly is it for?"

"It depends on the situation. It may be the ability to control electricity, fire and power. For example, I have mastered the ability to control the gravity field through it..."

The stall owner yawned and said emphatically——

"But it may also be to enhance psychic abilities such as telepathy. After all, it is a neural adjustment device. This probability should be the highest."
