My portable gaming girlfriend

Real time 01:??.

I don't know how many seconds have passed in the 'gate', the blue color has been changing, the building appears from outside the field of vision, and disappears from the overlap of the mirror-like plane world.

Until the environment finally stabilized and I could feel myself standing, I saw myself in the middle of a street.

The sky was gloomy, as if a heavy rain was brewing. On the blue-gray street, there are unfamiliar shop names printed on the iron doorplates.

"This is where?"

Shen Qing, she changed back to her virtual world attire and was standing next to me, and I looked down to see that my attire was also my appearance in the virtual world.

"I'm afraid it's a place called Organ Street in the virtual world..."

"how do you know?"

"It's written here."

And I know the name of this street because there are a few small Chinese characters engraved on the steps next to me where I fell - 'No. 3 Organ Street'.

But... I'm in the virtual world? So what about Sakura? The time ratio between the virtual world and reality is 1:1, but the time ratio between "Legend of Mountains and Seas" and reality is 4:1. Here, every second wasted in "Legends of Mountains and Seas" will be 4 seconds, and Sakura will become more dangerous.

Calm down first, Sakura is still waiting for me. If even I panicked, the hope of saving Sakura would be even slimmer.

I want to bring up the infobar, but nothing happens.

The absence of an information bar means that I cannot know my exact location, cannot use fast movement, and can only silently read the forced exit password even to exit.

The communication function is also not working, we are isolated in this strange place.

I have no clue about this place. The architectural style is like a hodgepodge. You can see the gorgeous buildings with Gothic spires and the high-walled courtyard with blue tiles and cornices. It stands to reason that the virtual world is strictly divided according to the architectural style, and there will never be such a chaotic place.

so where is this?

"Is anyone else there?"

"I didn't see it."

"This is like a virtual world, but it's not like it."

"Let's go a few steps forward."

There is no one around, only thick fog. After only a few tens of meters, we came to a crossroads.

The wooden signboard shows that Yaoqin Street is on the left and Yaoqin Street is on the right.

"All the streets here are named after qin? The buildings are in a mess. Enough is enough."

"That's right, this place is named after Qin~ Miss, do you have any difficulties?"

Shen Qing and I became cautious, because we saw a young man with light blond shoulder-length curly hair, wearing a retro white shirt and plaid pants, standing at the corner of the intersection, and asked us with a gentle smile.

"Who are you?"

"I'm a businessman. Seeing that you are confused here, I'm here to say hello. The shop is at No. 12 Organ Street in front of you. Would you like to come and have a look?"

"...Where is this place?"

"Huh? You don't even know where this is? How did you get in?"

The other party opened his eyes wide in surprise. Turned into a look of disbelief.

"We... came with friends, and we got separated just now. That person is a road idiot. I told him several times that he couldn't find us wherever I was. I don't know why he turned to this place..."

It is impossible for us to tell the real reason why we came here, so we can only ask an unfounded friend to come out and take the blame.

"Oh~ It's true that there is no map here, and communication services cannot be used, just get used to it."

"what to do?"

I discussed with Shen Qing in a low voice.

"Follow him to have a look. He is the first person I saw here. This is an opportunity to find out the details."

"At this time, you have become more courageous..."

"What does your store sell, can we go and see?"

Shen Qing raised her voice and asked the other party.

"Just the 'ordinary' stuff for sale, come with me."

He agreed without hesitation?

"Are you sure you want to follow?"

"Of course, we can't go anywhere now."

He led us to turn right from the intersection.

It was really a mixed bag. We entered a small European-style street, decorated with gorgeous flowers, white stone statues and painted windows everywhere. Dirty canvases.

[The communication service connection based on the KKER rules has been established...]

【, Ownership: W.B】

【, Unauthorized use and dissemination of this service will be held accountable. 】

Suddenly, a communication interface completely different from what we usually use pops up in front of our eyes. This communication interface is extremely simple, with only a pair of completely black borders.

[Programmer: You left the game, what happened? 】

The speech from the programmer appears in the interface.

A completely different communication interface pops up in front of you. Instead of the familiar white border, it has a completely black border.

[Me: Programmer? Communication function restored? ! What communication software is this, wait, why is there no contact list? 】

[Programmer: This is not an ordinary communication service function. , but the service I built, let's say, what happened. 】

[Shen Qing: Of course I accidentally hit your 'cheat', and now I fell into a strange place and couldn't get out. 】

Even Shen Qing can join the chat, it seems that this is a service similar to a chat group.

[Programmer: Why are you so careless? If you enter that, you will be connected to an idle server, and the surrounding area should be completely dark right now. 】

[Me: No... We are in a place called 'Organ Street' in the virtual world. 】

[Programmer: Organ Street? ! How did you get there? 】

[Me: Do you know this place? 】

[Programmer: That's right, that's right, the place you're in is called a 'black market', and it's also an extralegal place. , there is no direct entrance to get there from the virtual world, only invited people can enter through a special one-time passage, and of course that passage was invented by me. 】

【Me: Is it the 'black market' that sells prohibited items? Then you should be very familiar with this place? 】

[Programmer: I'm not familiar with this place at all, it's just that the channel service is my work. True, but the real situation here is more complicated than you might think. Explain carefully, what did you just do? 】

It turns out that the legendary 'black market' that cannot be accessed through conventional methods really exists, and we found it by accident?

I told the programmer about the conflict with the Omega team and what happened before entering the 'door'.

[Programmer: I did detect the captain you mentioned, and have deleted his game account—of course, this is not for you, but for my safety. 】

Fortunately, I still wanted to thank the programmer at that moment, knowing that he would not do good things for us for no reason.

【Me: I have to go back to save Sakura, how do we get out of this place now? 】

[Programmer: Wait, I'm doing it. 】

He only replied five or two words.

"Here, this is the small shop."

In the process of chatting with programmers, we have followed the man who claimed to be a businessman to his destination. At this time, I stretched out my hand, as if enthusiastically inviting us to enter the exquisitely decorated small building in front of me.

"Sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet, my ID is Aiolian."

"My name is... uh, End of Time."

"The waning moon."

In front of strangers, Shen Qing and I subtly omitted our IDs.

[Me: No matter how you look at it, it looks suspicious, right? 】

[Shen Qing: It's just a 'black market'. 】

Since there is a communication system available, we also of course ignore the programmer and use it to communicate information that we don't want Aiolian to hear.

"Welcome Mr. End of Time and Miss Wanyue. Please come in."

After hearing this, Shen Qing followed inside without hesitation.

In the past, I certainly believed that there would be no danger of physical injury in the virtual world, after all, everything here is unreal. But after a few adventures, it's hard not to be wary of virtual worlds. A small number of awakened AI have the ability to trap the player, so that they can not leave the game, and the player can only be at their mercy.

"Aren't you going to come in and take a look?"

Aiolian waits for me.

"...Of course I have to watch it"

I go into the store.

"What are they selling here?"

There are no shelves or anything, but this is also normal. I remember that the things that can be sold on the black market in the virtual world are all 'plug-ins', which are not suitable for display.

"Some hacks, and that's it."

As soon as the voice fell, a light lit up next to the wall, reflecting a girl with brown shoulder-length curly hair standing in a maid outfit.

"people……?"

[Programmer: That is a modified artificial intelligence companion. 】

【Me: How can you see...】

[Programmer: You don't need to know the details. 】

[Shen Qing: As far as I know, the purchase and use of artificial intelligence companions follow the principle of real-name registration, and Endia will constantly check whether the owner is himself or not. 】

[Programmer: It's very simple to solve this. After the original owner died, forge the original owner's identity and continue to verify it, so as to escape Endia's inspection. 】

The artificial intelligence companion that was transformed after the death of the owner, sounds... very intrusive.
