Chapter 160: Roll Call
Like splashing and smearing oil paint randomly, the gorgeous sky faded away behind him. After the familiar short-term dizziness disappeared, Song Shi arrived at his destination.
——Depth 1, [Thousand Star City].
Compared to the beginning, now that Song Shi was promoted to the second level, the discomfort caused by falling into the abyss was almost gone.
Stepping on the street made of pure data, he opened his eyes and looked around.
Although the general outline is similar, in details, the "City of Thousand Stars" here is still different from the "City of Thousand Stars" in Palower. The most eye-catching point is "sunshine".
Yes, sunshine.
From the center of Thousand Stars City, a blazing white line rises straight into the sky, and turns into scattered light rain at the highest point, forming an upside-down bowl-shaped light mask - this is isolation The barrier between the City of Thousand Stars and the Abyss, the concrete display of the "Firewall".
Paloser also has this mask.
The only difference is that above the light shield of this Thousand Stars City, there are three red and blazing sun disks hanging high that are difficult to see directly!
It's like I have suffered some grievances and losses, and I want to make up for it here.
They burn quietly, pouring synthetic sunlight that perfectly fits the natural sunlight "spectrum" data into every corner of Thousand Stars City, bringing a warm, even hot feeling - of course , anonymous users who log in to Qianxing City can change the simulator parameter settings and block them.
But few people do this.
Song Shi took a casual glance and found that many people were even naked from the waist up, wearing only beach shorts.
"Sunshine?"
He nodded slightly, stopped standing, turned around and walked down the street.
As one of the fulcrum cities where [Fubo Energy] is vigorously developing, the prosperity of Zhuguang City is significantly stronger than that of Palother, even the "Thousand Stars City" is the same.
Floating castles, crypt bars, ancient-style virtual arenas, and the Dead Ship Casino floating in the sea are all a dazzling array of bizarre sights.
But soon, Song Shi found his goal.
It was a promotional poster posted in the corner. There was no text on it, only a realistic, thick-painted picture - the dark curtain was about to be drawn, and the outlines of several puppets were vaguely protruding.
Next to this poster, there are fake identities, weapons and equipment trading, stolen goods, and intelligence trafficking. These real and fake advertisements are stacked together, almost completely submerging the former.
Song Shi did not hesitate and directly tore off the poster.
The next moment, from the young man's perspective, a similarly dark brown pop-up window popped up.
It has only one line.
【Please enter——】
Song Shi entered a string of numbers.
[Error]
[You have two more chances]
[Please enter——]
The poster in your hand is also slightly wrinkled .
Song Shi raised his hand and entered another series of numbers.
[Error]
[You have one more chance]
[Please enter——]
The poster gradually became more and more wrinkled. Old yellow.
"Tsk, this won't work either?"
Song Shi tutted, but finally did not type again immediately.
It is now the year 2151 of the New Calendar, nineteen years before I died in battle.
——In the current [Theater], which secret key will be used to enter?
After thinking about it for a while, Song Shi slowly entered a new string of numbers.
The poster froze for a moment, then shattered!
The entire poster was torn into pieces, and these fragments split second and third times in the air, like butterflies flying all over the sky, turning into a small whirlwind and wrapping Song Shi. Then there was a flash of light, and these flying fragments Together with Song Shi, he disappeared in place.
When Song Shi opened his eyes again, the scene around him was completely different.
In the dark environment, the auditorium was arranged in a staircase, and at this moment Song Shi was sitting in the middle seat of the third row. The walnut wood armchair had a different touch.
——Except for Song Shi, this huge "theater" was empty. In front of the auditorium, there is a stage covered by a thick curtain. As if aware of the audience's arrival, with a soft "bang" sound, a beam of light was cast from above, and the entire stage suddenly lit up.
The curtain slowly opened.
Countless crystals hang from the huge chandeliers, which reflect light and blurry colors. They also light up the magnificent dome and the luxurious and honorable furnishings below for the audience.
The brisk music sounded, and the actors with exquisite makeup walked out from behind the scenes and began to perform the plot in the singing——
"Almost done."
Nineteen minutes after the play started, Song Shi put his right hand on his head, tilted his body, and finally said: "——Purely bad movie."
"Impeccable service, exquisite Stunning special effects and props, using technology to generate 'data personalities', creating perfect virtual actors that can only be used in one work, and then matching them with inexplicable plots."
He commented: "It's really. Totally bad taste."
As his words fell.
The originally melodious music suddenly stopped, and the stage seemed to be suddenly frozen.
Then, with unchanged expressions on their faces, still immersed in the play, these characters turned their heads at the same time, staring straight at Song Shi.
Song Shi sneered, and flames ignited between his fingers.
"Hey, don't worry, don't worry."
So, a voice rang out quickly.
At some point, there was another person on the right side of Song Shi. He was sitting in the audience and his face could not be seen clearly.
"This is our tradition, can't you respect it?"
"That's why I'm speaking now." Song Shi replied.
“Ah, okay, okay. By the way, where did your admission key come from? I think this is quite new, it hasn’t been issued for a long time——”
Song Shi turned his head, glanced at him, and said calmly: "How come I have never heard that the famous hacker organization [Theater] will also ask visitors for their identities?"
The man was not embarrassed either. , laughed: "My, my, I'm sorry. So, what are your needs?"
"Are you planning to seek remote network technical support, or do you want to inquire about some information? Of course, we also welcome technical exchanges. After all, the greatest thing about the Internet is openness and sharing."
"But considering Zhuguang The city's recent situation, if you want to hire our network support service, the price will be higher -"
"I need a list," Song Shi said: "Currently, there are many people hanging in Zhuguang City. List of people offering rewards."
"Reward. List?" The other party repeated, and asked: "Are there any filtering conditions?"
"List them all for me first. ”
So, the other party nodded, and he knocked on the armrest of the chair. About a minute later, a half-human-tall puppet suddenly fell from above, with a thin string attached to it.
In both hands of the puppet, there is a paper list.
However, after taking down the list and opening it, it still looks like an electronic display screen.
Song Shi started browsing from top to bottom, from high to low according to the amount of the reward.
The first one, Chacoro Vaughn, the bounty column is "∞", which is a symbol representing infinity.
Skip.
The second place, Emmanuel Groden, also has "∞" in the bounty column. This is the agent of [Fubo Energy] in Zhuguang City and surrounding areas, a core member of the Groden family, and a real member of the decision-making level of a giant company.
Skip it, check it for now.
The third, fourth, and fifth places
After the most important figures, there are some conventional figures that can be called "prominent", "noble", "Tricky" role.
Among them are well-known entrepreneurs, leaders of contraband smuggling networks, high-risk wanted criminals with a lot of cases, senior officials from government agencies, core members of companies and street gang leaders, and there are even a few demands. Rewards for capturing "stars" and "idols" alive.
Song Shi thought for a while, ticked the names of seven of them, and handed the list back to the other party.
"Compile the information on these people and send it to me together with the bill." He stood up and gave a temporary link: "Well, for the account, use this."
Looking at the seven people sketched, the man's expression was a little subtle: "So many?"
Song Shi replied.
"So much first."
