Mystery Makes Me Strong

After Wen Rensheng walked out of the bookstore, he wandered around casually.

He saw a storefront that was shrouded in a layer of light mist, as if isolated from the surrounding world.

There were strange runes engraved on the sign.

These runes flashed a faint blue light in the moonlight, as if telling unknown secrets.

He immediately became interested, as if it was a fantasy store.

He pushed open the creaking wooden door, and a faint sandalwood fragrance came to his nose, making people feel peaceful instantly.

It really sells fantasy items.

The lights in the store were soft and mysterious, and the walls were hung with all kinds of strange items, from ancient scrolls to glimmering crystal balls.

Each item seemed to contain incredible power.

And their prices were all lifespans.

From the shortest one hour to the longest 100 million years.

Wen Rensheng became even more interested.

The owner was an elderly man sitting on a chair.

He had a kind face and deep eyes, as if he could see into people's hearts.

He always wore a robe with runes similar to those on the sign.

"Welcome to Huanmeng Merchant Pavilion." The old man's voice was hoarse and gentle.

His eyes swept over Wen Rensheng, as if he was looking for something.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, showing excitement, and then quickly disappeared.

Wen Rensheng didn't care about the owner's expression.

He saw customers curiously exploring the store, their eyes wandering on various items.

A young woman was attracted by an exquisite music box with fine patterns carved on it.

When she opened it gently, a melodious melody sounded, and her eyes flashed with surprise.

Then she asked a young man next to her to pay for 50 years of life without hesitation.

At this time, another woman next to her said: "This is too expensive, don't buy it."

"I want it, if you love me, buy it for me." The young woman said to the young man next to her.

The young man paid for his life, then fell to the ground with a "thump", and then died.

The same thing happened to a handsome man and an ordinary woman. The woman also bought a product with a "50-year life span" and fell to the ground and died.

A dog who licks the dog will not die well, regardless of gender.

This is not an exaggeration, but a realistic description.

Although Wen Rensheng did not understand what the young man was thinking, he was slightly shocked.

Of course, it was only for a second.

The owner did not react at all, and the clerk dragged the body away directly.

The customers seemed to be accustomed to it and did not care.

In a corner of the store.

A little boy found an ancient book. The words on the pages seemed to be jumping. When he read aloud softly, the illustrations in the book suddenly became vivid, as if they were about to jump out of the page.

He could not help but pay 20 years of life to buy it.

As a result, he died just after buying it.

Wen Rensheng understood that these people paid for their future lifespan.

They will not age directly, but the future time is gone.

This means that the little boy will live for at most 20 years.

These people don't seem to care about life.

At this time, night gradually fell.

Satisfied customers left one after another with their discoveries and surprises.

Wen Rensheng counted and found that half of the customers were here.

But he was already smiling.

He had seen through this store and the entire giant city.

The old man stood at the door and watched them leave.

There was a mysterious smile on his lips.

"Remember, the door of Huanmeng Merchant Pavilion is always open to those who seek miracles."

Then he looked at Wen Rensheng again.

"Customer, do you want to buy this treasure of 100 million lifespans?" As he said that, he handed the most expensive item, a black book, to Wen Rensheng.

Wen Rensheng smiled.

He stretched out his hand and scratched it, and the price of the book immediately became negative 100 million years.

In other words, to buy it, you have to pay Wen Rensheng 100 million years of life.

The owner was about to say something when a group of people rushed in and took the owner away.

"This is a liar. We have been watching him for a long time. He can deceive others to consume their lifespans ahead of time." The captain who led the team wore a hat and was a middle-aged man with tired eyes, which made people feel distressed.

"Oh, I think so too. No wonder so many people died here." Wen Rensheng nodded.

"I'm not a liar, you are. This is a fake place. This guest just proved it!"

"Hahaha, I see through this place!" The old store manager laughed.

Wen Rensheng also laughed.

Yes, this entire giant city is a simulation.

However, although it is a simulation, it is also useful to me.

At least it can be used to deal with Xiao Huan, so it is valuable.

The captain asked someone to take the old man away and came to Wen Rensheng himself.

"Hello, ancestor, no, ancient existence." The captain patted his head, "It's not easy to maintain order here."

Wen Rensheng smiled: "It's really tiring, and it's not easy to do this."

"Yes, some people are too boring, always obsessed with truth and falsehood. In fact, as long as they close their eyes and sloppy a little, isn't it good?" The captain sighed.

Wen Rensheng nodded: "As long as there is a bottom line, this place is indeed good."

His eyes have long penetrated the layers of fog and saw the truth of this world.

Naturally, there was no shock or disbelief in his heart.

He had experienced so many things that almost nothing could alarm him.

Then the captain stood up and said, "Please follow me."

Wen Rensheng nodded.

Then the two came to the northernmost end of the giant city, where there was a forgotten tower.

"No one can see it."

"Only those who see through the truth can do it." The captain explained.

Wen Rensheng looked at the tower, and its top was a transparent barrier, and outside the barrier was an endless void.

Not bad.

Wen Rensheng felt that this world was very powerful.

The power was that it was fake, but it was making itself real.

And Wen Rensheng was not its last step.

Wen Rensheng appeared in front of the barrier and touched the barrier.

He could feel the coldness and hardness of the barrier.

It ensured that the whole world was not swallowed by the void and maintained basic authenticity.

At this moment, the captain's voice sounded behind him: "It seems that you have found the key. This barrier is the biggest reliance of this world."

Wen Rensheng looked at the middle-aged captain in uniform.

The man's face was serious and tired.

"Who are you?" Wen Rensheng's voice was a little casual.

"I am the captain of this world, you can also call me a programmer." The captain's voice was calm and powerful, "I know you have a lot of questions, I will answer them for you."

He took off his hat, revealing his Mediterranean hairstyle.

Wen Rensheng smiled.

It's a stereotype. In fact, most programmers have thick hair.

Their hairline is not very high.

Because everyone often uses their brains, the head is well supplied with blood, so the hair can benefit from it, get more nutrition, and become thicker.

Wen Rensheng was sure of this.

Then the captain took Wen Rensheng into the tower.

They sat down in a simple room.

The captain began to tell the truth of this world, and his words were a little hard.

"This world is a simulation world."

"It was built to protect some special beings."

The captain's voice was low and powerful.

"We created this world to give them a safe environment so that they can grow and develop freely."

"Special existence?"

"Yes, for example, in an urban world, a superpower suddenly appeared, and we extracted him."

"Another example is that in a fairy world, Cthulhu appeared, and we also pulled him over."

Wen Rensheng smiled: "You seem to be the savior."

"No, on the contrary, we are destroyers." The captain sighed, "We destroyed the new hope of those worlds."

"Oh, do you think you have the right to do this?" Wen Rensheng asked.

A trace of pain flashed in the captain's eyes: "Of course we don't have the right."

"But there is no choice."

"If we don't do this, those worlds will face greater dangers. Of course, this has nothing to do with us, because my world needs those strange things as support."

Wen Rensheng actually fully understood what the other party meant:

A world without a theme and characteristics has no future.

No one will remember them, and they will soon die after they are born.

A world that exists for a long time is lucky.

Just like the Journey to the West, the Dream of the Red Chamber, and the Water Margin of the Three Kingdoms.

Because someone always remembers them.

This is also the fate of most of the void world.

The captain is very friendly.

He seems to understand the true value of Wen Rensheng.

He also knows that if he gets a little support from this giant, the whole world may be different.

As the creator of the world, he is an absolutely smart man.

He showed his fatigue, and programmers.

It is to gain recognition and sympathy from the other party.

People don’t like a person who enjoys.

Of course, they don’t like a person who works hard and achieves great success.

People like people who work hard and fail, which can make them feel comfortable and at ease.

Unfortunately, Wen Rensheng naturally saw his little thoughts.

But Wen Rensheng appreciated the other party’s attitude.

All kinds of efforts to maintain the world.

Then the captain began to explain in detail the operating mechanism of this world and the external threats they face.

He hoped that Wen Rensheng could understand their difficulties and give support.

"We need your help, dear sir." The captain's voice was filled with a hint of pleading, "Only you can help us maintain this world."

"Of course we will offer everything you need, and I can guarantee that there will be no ungratefulness, no bridges, no arrogance, no flattery."

Wen Rensheng naturally believed the other party's guarantee.

Just write it into the basic rules of the world.

People who do this can just recycle the garbage.

It can be said that everyone hates such people very much.

Because they are too shameless.

Too evil.

It's simply too despicable.

It's just that some people consciously become such people after they get to the top.

Wen Rensheng smiled.

He didn't have any thoughts in his mind.

For him, this was just a casual thing.

"Your words sound good, but I have to wait and see."

Wen Rensheng's words surprised the captain.

He may have really met a great man.

He couldn't accept failure at this time.

After all, he had felt that this world, which he had worked so hard to create, was about to collapse.

For example, the issue of life span, many people began to not care about their own life span.

It was a big problem.

This means that everyone thinks this place is fake.

You can wake up if you die.

It is similar to daring to jump off a cliff when you are dreaming.

Of course, these people are foolish and bold.

What if it is not a dream, but a confused mind, wouldn’t you really die?

There is such a fact in reality.

He thought it was a dream, but it was real, and he fell down and died.

In the next few days, Wen Rensheng began to understand this world in depth. He visited the control center of the simulated world.

He saw the complex machines that keep the world running.

He talked with the residents of this world and saw their lives and dreams.

Many people realized that this place is fake.

"We must have come here in a dream, and we can go back as long as we die."

"It's good to be here, pretending to be here all the time, but I'm worried that I will be late for the exam after waking up." Another resident said.

"I choose to stay here all the time, and this place is immortal, but what if it's just my illusion?"

In short, many people are quietly questioning.

Wen Rensheng understood these people very well.

Although this world is fake.

But the feelings and dreams of the people living here are real.

Everyone has the right to know the truth.

But no one has the right to destroy it all.

After all, this is still a harbor for some people.

And for everyone, knowing that it is fake, and still making a final decision, this is a difficult thing.

Wen Rensheng made a decision simply, of course.

In fact, he said a lot to the other party, which shows his attitude.

He found the captain: "I am willing to help you."

"But not for you, nor for the residents of this world."

"I just want to know how you find the anomaly of a world."

Wen Rensheng said calmly.

The captain showed a grateful expression on his face, and almost kowtowed to Wen Rensheng twice.

"Thank you, great ancestor, great origin."

Wen Rensheng did not correct the other party's address.

He just smiled slightly.

This captain is very interesting.

He saw a hint of the truth in the truth.

Wen Rensheng then gave the other party a little bit of authenticity.

This bit of authenticity is similar to the top treasure in the prehistoric world.

It can keep the world from collapsing.

In this way, the captain began his new journey.

He became the cornerstone of this world with this "realness".

No matter how many problems there are on it, just rely on it to restart and repair it.

It's like a computer with the most original installation disk.

And hardware that won't break.

And his strength and wisdom will become the key to protecting this world.

On the edge of this world.

Wen Rensheng also got what he wanted.

The captain handed him a set of software.

"This is a set of void search software. It can create a living being by itself and enter different worlds."

"Then sense the abnormality from it."

"Of course it is also limited. Only those very small worlds will be selected by it."

"If it's bigger, it won't be able to do it."

Wen Rensheng nodded and took the software.

Then he checked and found that the mystery had indeed increased by 10 points.

This is very good.

It's better than being free.
