Compared with Mr. Bu, who likes to walk around and stalk the door, although Wang Jiji Group is like thunder, the controller Wang Jiji himself is extraordinarily mysterious and has never appeared.

Now 606 finally knows that the other party is neither mysterious nor nerdy - just simply busy.

"I work in the workshop 24 hours a day, and I hardly know what's going on in the university town," Wang Jiji explained.

She skillfully took off her labor gloves and put them on her shoulders, and said bluntly: "I shouldn't be standing here now, but something went wrong with Abu. He put part of his memory and cognition into this copy, In the end, you forced him to recall it again after you cleared the customs. In short, his glass heart was broken, and now he may be crying in a corner. So I can only temporarily transfer from the workshop to give you a simple welcome. ."

The four digested the amount of information in Wang Jiji's words until the last sentence:

"Welcome to the job?"

"Yes." Wang Jiji nodded: "From now on, we are colleagues. It may take some time for you to transform, University City can provide..."

"Feel sorry."

Tang Xinjue interrupted her.

"The rules of the game say that after passing the graduation exam, we can leave the game and return to the real world. Excuse me, are the rules still valid?"

How can people be converted from fixed-term imprisonment to indefinite labor?

Wang Jiji was taken aback and frowned: "Of course the rules are valid. But... oh, I forgot to introduce the meaning of this invitation to you."

She raised her hand and waved it in the air, and the four walls of the bedroom suddenly began to fade layer by layer until it was completely transparent. Afterwards, a cold and strange city stretched out in the sight of several people.

It's hard to describe what kind of picture this is. Every building and road are stacked in this boundless space at different heights, which obviously does not conform to their spatial cognition, but they can clearly "see" every stripe of road. , feel the law of their transformation and dislocation.

Like... a huge, breathing organ.

This is University Town.

"In the beginning, it was just nothingness. You can think of it as a blank point, but this point is located at the junction of the underground and the ground, so we used this as a fulcrum to create a university town."

Listening to Wang Jiji's introduction, Guo Guo couldn't help but ask, "What is [underground]?"

The black fog descended from the ground, the ghosts descended from the ground, and the deadly miasma that looked like a pollution source descended from the ground—what the hell is the underground?

A cyber hell for their college students?

Wang Jiji glanced at her in surprise, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, I forgot again, you are still on this backward timeline, so you can't understand."

She waved her hand again, and a suspended transparent electronic clock appeared in the air. With a snap of your fingers, the number representing the date began to jump forward wildly:

"From this time line, um, almost fifty years. Natural disasters, energy depletion, technological evolution bottlenecks, wars..." The date paused for a moment, and then began to speed forward again: "People think of various In the end, they simply divided the world into two parts, and the opposite of the above world is the dark underground - searched from various timelines, those who died at the age when the spiritual magnetic field was strongest, thus leaving behind Those who left behind the shadows will accumulate in the center of the earth, waiting for the day when civilization develops enough to bring them back to the world."

"As you can see, they failed. [Underground] was out of control, and the remaining spirits were left alone, in

"Later, the dilapidated timeline disappeared completely, and the [underground] that no one cared about broke away. We reopened its entrance and exit, and used the residual energy in it to create this university town. After that, You should know that too."

When speaking this information, Wang Jiji's tone was as simple and natural as drinking water, and he didn't seem to feel the impact of the information at all.

But for the listener, it is not so easy to digest.

606 was silent for a few seconds, Guo Guo opened his mouth hesitantly: "If

If I heard correctly, what you just said included the end of the world, human experimentation, the destruction of civilization, and time travel..."

Can this be said so casually? ?

Wang Jiji is righteous: "Yes, isn't it? You don't have to think it's incredible, it's just something that happens anytime, anywhere in the multiverse. From the essence of life, no matter how much time and dimension we are separated, as long as we meet To each other, from this moment on, we are no different."

After speaking, she nodded in agreement with herself, but after scanning the expressions of the four of 606: "You don't understand."

606: "Thank you, I really didn't understand."

Wang Jiji: "...Forget it, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the knowledge and history of our time line have died out. Maybe in a few years, my surviving spiritual body will have no memory. You can also treat it as a nonsense story. All in all Back to the topic, we didn't want the university town to annihilate, so we turned on the [screening] system. That's why you're standing here."

Having said this, she looked solemn and solemn:

“As long as you go through the screening process, you can gain the power of a college town, enter the vacant 12-lane founder seat, and become a member of the management. This is the first and last rule.”

Therefore, the appearance of Wang Jiji is not the last hurdle for them, but an invitation.

As long as 606 agrees, their survival test will draw the final prelude here, and then jump from the prey to the top of the food chain.

"Well, what if we don't agree?"

This time it was Zhang You who spoke.

Wang Jiji didn't expect that she would be rejected for the second time. She swept the faces of the four in turn, but they all got the same answer.

"Are you sure you want to leave here?" She reminded in a deep voice: "After you leave the game, you will lose all the abilities you gained here, your five senses, limbs, thinking and reaction speed will degenerate back to the state of ordinary people, all rewards and The props will also no longer exist - look at the power you have now, can you return to the ordinary life before?"

Tang Xinjue nodded: "I'm sorry, you mean that there is no danger to your life when you wake up after eight o'clock, you won't encounter more than ten murderers every day on average, you won't die if you fail the exam, you can have free barbecue hot pot, you can contact your parents and relatives, and you can have activities. Ordinary life that is infinitely larger than the dormitory? It sounds boring, but it's not completely unacceptable."

Wang Jiji: "..."

"I think the peaceful life in the real world and the administrator status of a university town shouldn't have both, right?"

The founder with the braided braid didn't stay silent for too long, and soon said cheerfully: "Yes, you can't have both, it seems that you have made up your mind."

Guo Guo breathed a sigh of relief and scratched his head: "I believe you will find someone who is willing to stay here, but I'm sorry, that's not us. Besides, there are so many college students you have brought in, and there are only 10 manager positions. Time is not enough."

Wang Jiji smiled: "You are wrong, there are 12 seats, first come first served."

Guo Guo was startled: "Then you and Mr. Bu...?"

"We are still here because the mission is not over yet. When the order of the university town is completely rebuilt, it is also the time for us to leave. To be precise, we were gone a long, long time ago, and what remains here now is only It's just two afterimages that used the loophole of time to survive." Wang Jiji shrugged and put on his gloves again: "I don't have much time to spare, and you have one last chance to change your mind - do you really choose to leave?"

Tang Xinjue asked another question:

"After leaving, will we be the first to return to the real world?"
