Episode 1: The Journey of Forgetting to Return Chapter 1: Stepping into the Gate of Forgetting to Return

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Since childhood, Yan Xiaocang has opened various doors countless times.

    The door hinges of the bedroom are a little rusty. Every time he goes out to play secretly at night, he always has to be careful not to make any noise and be heard by his mother when he comes back in the middle of the night. There is always some filth on the door of the school toilet, so he must remember to bring a piece of paper.  Put it on the door handle, otherwise you will feel the sticky feeling; the glass door of McDonald's is polished transparent and shiny every day, and you may accidentally mistake it for an obstacle-free passage and bump into it.

    The door is a passage between different worlds. When it is closed, the two worlds are separated, and when it is open, you can go from one world to the other.

    Yan Xiaocang hesitated in front of the door for a long time. He knew that it was easy to open the door in front of him without spending any effort. As long as he inserted the IC card in his hand into the decoder next to the door, the door would open.  will open automatically.  However, such a simple action was as difficult for him as facing life and death.

    This door is at the end of a narrow corridor. The corridor is only two meters wide and about four meters high. It is slightly dark. The lights above the head are weakly lit, as if they may go out at any time.  Only when we reached the door did the light suddenly brighten.  The entire door is a screen on which various known languages ????in the world are constantly scrolling, including English, French, German, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and some original languages ??used by a very small number of indigenous people.

    Yan Xiaocang only recognized Chinese, which was a sentence full of religious meaning: Come into my door, even if you die, don't complain.

    Which side of the door is the legendary "Dream Paradise"?  Is it that strange yet familiar world?

    I say familiar because when he was in school, Yan Xiaocang had been exposed to information about Qimeng Paradise countless times. On the Internet, on TV, and in various novels and autobiographical literature, Qimeng Paradise was described as an adventure.  The paradise of family, the territory of the strong, and the paradise of speculators.  Hundreds of people have become rich here. Before entering Dream Paradise, they were paupers with nothing. When they came out, they suddenly transformed into upper-class people with wealth, power and status.

    " Stranger" because these people only talk about their success, but do not tell others in detail how they succeeded.  Regarding Qimeng Paradise, no details have been revealed except for the impression of "heaven".

    Yan Xiaocang exhausted all the courage he had accumulated from birth to the age of sixteen before he made up his mind to walk here. However, as he walked down the 1,200-meter-long closed corridor, his courage finally disappeared in front of those eight characters.  .

    "Do we have to use this method? Mother's illness will cost an astronomical amount of money, but can we think of other methods in the original world?" He took another circle in the corridor.

    There is no use going around in a hundred circles.  After the test results came out, no one could understand the long list of terms the doctor said. The only thing they could understand was that it cost thousands of yuan every day to treat my mother's illness.  Yan Xiaocang thought of the mother who worked in the bathing city. In order to earn tuition for her son and support her dependent children, she rubbed the backs and pedicures of customers every day. She worked hard for more than ten hours and already had gray hair in her early thirties.  , her hands were so covered with cracks and calluses that her colleagues forgot her real name, Yan Juhua, and called her "Yan Crazy" instead.

    Why can other women still have beautiful faces and smooth skin at the age of thirty, and have their mothers work hard to take care of them?  Why was it that Yan Xiaocang's mother, after being abandoned by a man, endured hardships for sixteen years, ended up suffering from a terminal illness and unable to treat her?

    Thinking of this, Yan Xiaocang gritted his teeth and stood in front of the door again.

    "I'm sorry, Mom, I can't stay by your side to take care of you in the recent period. However, with the two hundred thousand, your life will not be in danger for the time being. I will continue to send you money to strive for success.  Pay off the loan in the shortest time, and then come out to support you and let you live a happy life for a few days.¡±

    "At that time, you could also ask someone to rub your back when you went to take a shower. We would ask two people to do it, one would rub your back and the other would watch!"

    Yan Xiaocang finally made up his mind and took out the IC card from his pocket. At this time, a soft voice sounded from behind: "Excuse me, are you going to Qimeng Paradise too?"

    Yan Xiaocang turned around suddenly and felt his eyes light up. Countless shining flowers seemed to bloom in the dim corridor, which made him lose consciousness for a moment.

    It was a girl about the same age as Yan Xiaocang. She wore a pink sweater on her upper body, dotted with a few scattered flowers. Her long hair was simply tied behind her head with a blue hairband. Her shining eyes were  The long eyelashes sway gently as she blinks.  What amazed Yan Xiaocang the most was the girl's delicate nose and small, bright red mouth, which made people want to take a bite.

    "Yes, I am. May I ask you"

    ?"My name is Suo Minni, you can call me Suo Suo. This is the gate to the dream paradise, right?"

    "My name is Yan Xiaocang. I don't know what the Forgetting Gate is, but on the other side of the gate is the dream paradise. This is definitely true."

    "That's good." The girl breathed a sigh of relief, and Yan Xiaocang seemed to be able to smell a faint fragrance.

    "It's easy to find it, I'm going in." Suo Minni said, but when she didn't see her move, the shadow in the corridor flickered for a moment, and the girl arrived in front of the door.

    This Suo Minni is no ordinary girl!

    Yan Xiaocang finally came to his senses. The floor of the corridor was paved with unknown metal. In addition, the environment was narrow and the echo of footsteps was loud. Suo Minni made no sound when she walked over.  Moreover, Yan Xiaocang had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his hearing and alertness were both superior to others. He didn't even know when the girl was behind him.

    However, if it were an ordinary girl, how could she come to Qimeng Paradise alone?  Yan Xiaocang passed several tests when he signed up, and he could barely pass the test based on his kung fu. How could Suo Minni be as weak as she appeared to be if she could reach the Forgetful Gate?

    Just as she was thinking about it, the girl had inserted the IC card into the decoder, and the door flashed with colorful lights, finally forming a row of Chinese characters: Welcome, brave hero.  Immediately, the door moved upward and slowly opened.

    "Wait for me!" Yan Xiaocang rushed over behind the girl.

    No matter what, since Suo Minni has the courage to go in, it's so embarrassing for a "man" to still be hesitant!

    Behind the Wanghui Door is a space similar to an elevator room, but it is much wider, so the two people inside do not feel cramped.  Yan Xiaocang and Suo Minni each occupied a corner. After the door was closed, the space moved.

    "Damn, it turns out you don't need an IC card at all. You just have to wait for others to come in front of the door and follow them in!" Yan Xiaocang cursed.

    Suo Minni asked strangely: "Have you not read the relevant information? Every time the door opens, it will last for 15 seconds. At this time, any number of people can come in. However, in the long corridor we came in, there were at least twenty  Tao detection device, if you didn¡¯t have that card, you would have been cleared out long ago, and you wouldn¡¯t be able to reach the door at all.¡±

    "So that's it?" Yan Xiaocang scratched his head, he really had never heard of it.

    "Have you not read the book "Nightmare in Paradise"? There are many introductions in it, and it is the most authoritative introductory textbook."

    Yan Xiaocang scratched his scalp again, feeling dandruff falling off his shoulders: "Are there any pirated copies? The current genuine books are too expensive"

    The girl took a closer look at the boy in front of her. The denim jacket was worn white. It was not the kind that had been washed and worn, but was really worn out because it had been worn for too long, because the cuffs, collar and hem of the jacket were all worn out.  The edges were frayed; there was no pattern on the dark red sweater, and the stitches of the thick wool were uneven. It was obvious that it was not a purchased product, but hand-knitted by oneself.  The jeans, which were in similar condition to the top, were of the fake "Lee" brand. The same fake "Addas" sneakers were washed clean, but the white sneakers with black shoe strings looked nondescript.  The strap of the backpack on his back was broken and tied up with a rope.

    The girl's curiosity suddenly aroused: "Which city is your home from? Why don't you come wearing new clothes? Also, why did you only bring so few things? Going to Qimeng Paradise is equivalent to living a new life. Everyone must wear their best clothes.  clothes and all the items that I use daily because I don¡¯t know when I will be able to go home.¡±

    Yan Xiaocang smiled awkwardly: "These are already my best clothes. Moreover, I usually only use these few things."

    "How is that possible!" The girl had an incredulous expression on her face, "I thought you admired rock stars and that's why you dressed like this."

    Yan Xiaocang didn't want the topic to revolve around him. He was worried that if he accidentally revealed his life experience and that the first person he met in Qimeng Paradise was a girl, he would look down on him, so he quickly changed the topic: "You are just a girl."  Tell me, why didn't you bring anything? You only have a small bag."

    The girl pulled over her small backpack with a pink breast pattern embroidered on it and pursed her lips: "My mom didn't let me come. She said that if I really wanted to come over and have fun, I would have to bring at least a dozen bodyguards.  He also said that he would ask someone from Qimeng Paradise to protect me. I thought they were annoying, so I ran out secretly. But it doesn¡¯t matter. I heard that US dollars can be used there. I have a gold card with me. What do I need to buy a new one?  That¡¯s it.¡±

    Looking at the girl's aggrieved expression, Yan Xiaocang's heart was churning, and unknowingly, there was a hint of hatred in his eyes.

    It turns out that she is a rich girl who knows nothing.  What is there to talk about with such a person?

    The ground shook slightlyNext, it stopped, and the wall on one side opened, letting in strong natural light.

    "We're here!" Suo Minni cheered, and just as she was about to run out, she stopped again, "Yan Xiaocang, what color is your IC card?"

    "Green, what's wrong?"

    "Mine is red. We are not reporting in the same place. We will meet later." After saying that, the girl took out something from her backpack, stuffed it into Yan Xiaocang's arms, shouted "Bai Bai" and ran away.  go out.

    Slowly walking into the sunshine, Yan Xiaocang looked down and found that it was an e-book with the words "Nightmare in Paradise" printed on the side of the screen. Such a book is worth at least 500 RMB.  Looking up at the girl's retreating back, Yan Xiaocang suddenly felt that she was not as annoying as his rich classmates.

    "Suo Minni, I remember your name."

    The elevator exit is located in the middle of a huge tree. What appears in front of Yan Xiaocang are countless equally tall trees. Each one requires hundreds of people to surround it. Even if you tilt your neck so hard, you can't see the tree.  the top of.  A dozen of the thickest trees formed a circle, forming a large open space.  As if by deliberate arrangement, several gaps were opened in the airtight trees overhead, and the sunlight fell through the gaps, hitting the holes dug under each tree.

    At this time, there were many people coming and going in the open space. Some people were wearing armors that can only be seen in movies, and they were shouting loudly in a language they couldn't understand.  Seeing Yan Xiaocang, a thin middle-aged man came over and said with a lewd smile: "Kid, are you coming to heaven at such a young age? Welcome! I am the receptionist. What color is your IC card?  ? I'll take you to the reporting location." As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out a badge from his dirty jacket, waved it in front of Yan Xiaocang, and stuffed it back before he could see it clearly.

    "I'm green - I can find it myself without your help, thank you." As he spoke, Yan Xiaocang pulled the small backpack to his chest and hugged it tightly.

    Anyone who has ever taken a train will be familiar with this kind of person who often appears at the train station, but he didn¡¯t expect that Qimeng Paradise would also exist. Although Yan Xiaocang was wary of him, he couldn¡¯t help but feel kind to him.

    It seems that it is not a completely unfamiliar world.

    "Get out of the way! Don't affect our work!" A burly young man came over and pulled the middle-aged man away. He was wearing leather tight black clothes, and his muscles stood out on the surface of the clothes, like a tough guy in the movie.  That way, angular.  Several different-shaped silver logos are pinned to the chest, cuffs and shoulders.

    The middle-aged man nodded quickly and ran away.  Yan Xiaocang glanced at the young man and almost ran away.

    The young man is not scary-looking, he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is quite handsome. However, he wears a nondescript red armband on his right arm with several lines of different words written on it. The Chinese language is "urban management inspection".

    In order to supplement the family income, Yan Xiaocang once bought some popsicles and ice cream and sold them on the street during school hours. What he was most afraid of was the urban management.  Then he thought, this was not the small town in his hometown, but the dream paradise known as the "World Reserve". All the governments in the world recognized its transcendent status. It did not belong to any country, but was a special zone directly under the jurisdiction of the United Nations Security Council.  Why are there urban management officials?  What's more, Yan Xiaocang was officially admitted after the assessment and he didn't sell ice cream here, so why did he run away?

    "Are you Chinese? Welcome to Qimeng Paradise. Please report to the designated location according to the color of your IC card, receive items and newcomer training plans, and then you can move around freely. There are many newcomers here today, maybe you  You will meet your companions who will live and die together in the future. I wish you good luck!" The young urban management officer glanced at Yan Xiaocang's IC card, pointed out the report address to him, and turned around and left.

    "What good people! Especially in the urban management, there are not many such good people!" Yan Xiaocang sighed and walked towards the big tree where the report was being made.

    The hole of each big tree is a spacious house, and the golden nameplate nailed to the door indicates the office use.  Walking to the tree hole with the sign "Green New Hunter Reporting Office", Yan Xiaocang saw that it was similar to a bank's business office. The counter was not high and was separated by thick glass. Looking at his feet, there was still  One meter line drawn with yellow paint.

    However, the room was empty at the moment. There were only two people chatting behind the counter. When Yan Xiaocang came in, he was surprised: "Are you a green IC card? Oh my God, when was the last time a green quasi-hunter appeared?  Already? It¡¯s been at least three months, right? It¡¯s really a rare visitor.¡±

    Their Chinese was not standard, and Yan Xiaocang could barely understand it. He didn't understand why there were so few green quasi-hunters. Seeing the two people looking around and sighing, they seemed to be in no mood to talk to him more, so he had to put the IC card against the counter and let them go.  Push it through the gap under the glass.

    ? Two people dressed upNo different from a bank employee, the meticulous staff member in suit and tie took the card and wiped it on the decoder: "Yan Xiaocang, born at 0:00 on January 1, 2001, it turns out that you are the baby of the century! No wonder! It's not that  Will the United Nations be responsible for the living expenses of children like you and give you the title of world citizen? How did you end up coming to Dream Paradise just to repay loan sharks?"

    Yan Xiaocang's face suddenly darkened. He did not expect that his personal information was not hidden from the powerful "extraditer" and was actually stored in the data.

    "Don't worry about it! Century babies are a matter for rich kids in big cities. What does it have to do with me? Can't poor people come?"

    The younger staff members wearing glasses were stunned for a moment and smiled: "I'm sorry, we didn't mean it. In Qimeng Paradise, everyone is equal. It doesn't matter whether you are born high or low. We only speak based on our strength."

    Yan Xiaocang didn't appreciate it and said coldly: "I don't think I'm from a lowly background."

    Now, the young man with glasses also felt embarrassed.  Another staff member quickly pushed out a stack of documents: "Take a look. This is a legal statement stating that you are responsible for personal accidents. There are also insurance policies from insurance companies. Some are compulsory insurance and some are voluntary. If there are no problems,  You can sign the last page and you will become a quasi-hunter."

    "What if I don't sign?"

    "Then you can only go back to your city."

    Yan Xiaocang didn't read anything and just signed on the last page. When he saw the "Insurance Beneficiary" column, he wrote his mother's name without hesitation.

    "Now that I'm here, I have no intention of going back empty-handed! It's best to have insurance. Even if something happens to me, my mother can still get the last payment."

    "Okay, the formalities are completed, go out and turn right, go there to pick up some necessities."

    The staff carefully collected Yan Xiaocang¡¯s information and took out the IC card.

    "Necessities - do I need to spend money? I have no money." Yan Xiaocang hesitated for a moment, but still asked.

    "No, heaven provides it for free. However, the necessities are relatively simple. If you want more and better things, you need to spend money."

    Following the staff¡¯s instructions, Yan Xiaocang arrived at the treehouse that read ¡°Green Quasi-Hunter Basic Equipment Receipt.¡±  The place was arranged like a small supermarket. On several shelves, there were a variety of ordinary or bizarre items that could be named or had never been seen before. A grey-haired old lady was mopping the floor with a mop.  His body was curled up, as if every movement required all his strength.

    "Grandma let me help you mop the floor." Alas, Qimeng Paradise also needs cleaners.  Yan Xiaocang took the broom from the old lady's hand and dragged it with skill.

    Yan Xiaocang's mopping movements are very professional. He is not like ordinary people who just use the mop as a stick. With a clever technique, the cloth strips in front of the mop are spread out and are as flexible as human fingers. Not only  The exposed floor was wiped clean, and even the dust in the corners under the shelves was removed.

    Yan Xiaocang has been living in the bathing town with his mother since he was a child. In order not to disgust people, Yan Xiaocang always does some work within his ability in exchange for a dinner.  He is very familiar with the job of mopping the floor.

    Someone helped, and the old lady was happy to rest. She sat on a chair, lit a cigarette, and started smoking leisurely.

    After coughing a few times due to the smoke, Yan Xiaocang glanced at the old lady and said nothing, only speeding up the movements of his hands.

    After Yan Xiaocang rinsed the mop under the water faucet in the corner and put it away, the old lady threw the cigarette butt to the ground, coughed twice, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Are you here to get the equipment?"

    Yan Xiaocang picked up the cigarette butts and replied: "Yes don't you have a trash can here?"

    The old lady shook her head: "If you don't have that thing, you can just throw it outside the door."

    Yan Xiaocang frowned and put the stubbed out cigarette butt into his pocket.

    "You're a very nice young man. I haven't met a kid like you for a long time." The old lady stood up, her rickety body suddenly straightened up, and she felt as sharp as an unsheathed sword.

    "Are you Chinese? From Jiangdong City? I live in the same province as you, so we are still fellow villagers. I haven't seen any of you for at least ten years."

    Hearing what the old lady said, Yan Xiaocang realized that her accent was somewhat close to his own.  "Grandma, how long have you been here?"

    "It's been at least thirty years. I came here when heaven was being built. I'm old"

    "I don't think you are old. Your body is very strong.""Yan Xiaocang is telling the truth. Although the old lady didn't use any skill in the few steps she took after getting off the chair, the solidity of the bottom plate shows that she has decades of skills. Yan Xiaocang  Such young people feel ashamed because they have limited time to practice.

    "Let's not talk about it anymore. Judging from the way you dress and act, you are a child from a poor family, right? Why do you want to come to Qimeng Paradise? Is it because you want to support your younger siblings in school or to take care of the elderly?"

    "My mother is seriously ill and needs money for treatmenthow did you know?"

    "Your clothes are not worth 100 yuan in total. According to your age, you should be in high school. It is the time to pay attention to your appearance. If you are not poor to a certain extent, how can you dress like this? You help me work, your movements are light and skillful  , Children from rich families open their mouths and stretch out their hands when they eat, but they don¡¯t say whether they will help me, an old lady. Even if they help, can they do such a thing well? Even if children from poor families want to make money, they will not come out at such a young age.  , I think you came out without telling your family, right?"

    It is said that people become better with age, and it is indeed true.  The old lady didn't look at Yan Xiaocang's information at all, so she made a guess.  Yan Xiaocang's eyes were full of admiration, and he told the reason why he came here.

    "What a child! Even if your mother dies of illness, she will never agree to you risking your life to make money for her." The old lady looked at Yan Xiaocang lovingly.

    Yan Xiaocang clenched his fists: "But I would rather die of exhaustion than let my mother die of illness! She has worked hard for more than ten years and has not yet lived a good life" As he spoke, the boy's tears were about to fall.

    If it were to others, Yan Xiaocang would definitely not say these words, but the kind old lady gave him a feeling of family, and the stubborn boy couldn't help but reveal his true feelings.

    "You think too simplistically. I know that the publicity outside is very strong, saying that Dream Paradise is the best way to get rich, and it is more cost-effective than buying lottery tickets. However, you don't know how dangerous it is here. Every time  A dollar is soaked in blood and sweat, and at the feet of every successful person are thousands of withered bones!"

    "I'm not afraid. I've been practicing martial arts since I was a child. Even the most powerful martial arts master in our city is no match for me!" The boy's thin lips pressed together tightly.

    "I've seen it. You use your mind to control your energy and your energy to control your body. You are practicing the most orthodox and best internal martial arts. If you insist on practicing for thirty years, there will be nothing to fear outside of heaven. It won't take more than a year.  , you can be promoted to a three-star hunter. But you are still young after all." The old lady shook her head and sighed, and lit another cigarette.

    "Thank you for your concern. Cultivating in practice is the best way. Don't worry, no matter what kind of danger I encounter, I will survive because my mother is still waiting for me to earn money for her medical treatment!" Boy  Although his voice is still childish, it reveals a firmness that cannot be changed.

    The old lady did not continue to persuade.  "He is helpful, kind-hearted, slow to anger, and strong-willed. Except for being too young, this child has all the qualities to become an excellent hunter. I only hope that he can persevere and not only be able to cope with dangerous tasks, but also be able to overcome the evil in people's hearts.  Don't lose your true nature in the environment." With this thought in mind, the old lady began to take things from the shelves.

    "All the would-be hunters who have just reported will have a set of free equipment. Although the quality is not as good as the ones purchased, it is enough to cope with the initial mission. When you make money in the future, don't rush to send it home. Change it to some good equipment first.  , Sharpen your knife and chop wood properly." While nagging, the old man arranged the things in a row on the counter.

    "The design of a standard-capacity backpack fully complies with the principles of human mechanics. After you carry it, the weight will be evenly distributed on your shoulders and back, and the heaviest part will be pressed on your hips. In this way, even if you travel long distances, you will not have to worry about it.  It will be hard. A short knife, made using alpha particle technology, is just a very ordinary type, but it is a hundred times sharper than those so-called special forces weapons outside. No matter what weapon you are most accustomed to, a short knife for self-defense is also a necessity. Rope, wild  Cooking utensils, lighting equipment, tents, sleeping bags, insecticides, first aid kits, all these bits and pieces can be put in a backpack.¡±

    After a while, the counter was full.

    "You give me so many things for free?" Yan Xiaocang's eyes widened.

    "These are nothing. When you have money, you can drive your own off-road RV and fill it with different items needed in various environments. You can even buy a tank with long-range firepower. As long as you have money, Qimeng Paradise can  Provide the mission items you imagined." The old lady said, taking out four small bottles of liquid from the innermost shelf, all with the same color as blood, and solemnly handed them to Yan Xiaocang's hands.

    "It stands to reason that prospective hunters can only receive two bottles of life-saving liquid for free, but my authority allows me to give you two more bottles. This is the most precious thing, and you must keep it."

      Yan Xiaocang took it and asked doubtfully: "What's the use of this?"

    "You brat, you don't know anything and you dare to come to Qimeng Paradise? The life-saving medicine is a medicine that can only be used in the paradise space. It can be taken internally or externally. After use, the liquid will quickly absorb the alpha particles in the air and repair you.  The injured part. Regardless of internal or external injuries, as long as your head is not severed, even if other organs are detached from the body or completely burned, they can still be repaired and regenerated!"

    "This is a myth!" Yan Xiaocang opened his eyes in surprise.

    The old lady slapped the boy hard on the head: "You have too much to learn. I suggest you buy a beginner's guide or something like that and study it carefully, otherwise you will die unjustly."

    "I have it!" Yan Xiaocang quickly took out the e-book "Nightmare in Paradise" that Suo Minni gave him.

    "Limited edition? This book is not the kind that can be bought everywhere on the market. I remember that the global circulation was only two hundred copies, and all of them were snapped up by various violent organizations or wealthy families. Each copy is worth more than one hundred thousand US dollars. You  Why is there a copy?" The old lady snatched it up and read it with admiration.

    Yan Xiaocang was shocked. He didn't expect that the thing that the girl he met by chance handed him was worth so much money. If he had known it earlier, he wouldn't have dared to ask for it.

    One hundred thousand US dollars is equivalent to 800,000 RMB, which is enough for his mother¡¯s treatment for more than half a year.

    After listening to the boy tell the origin of the e-book, the old lady laughed: "You little guy, you are very lucky. Suo Minni must be a child of the Suo family in San Francisco. She sneaked in and half of the world was shaken -  ¡ªDon¡¯t worry about this, read it carefully and don¡¯t miss a word. With this book, you will have a huge advantage among this approved hunter, and it will be much easier to advance.¡±

    "It's too valuable. I can't take it. When I see her, I'll give it back to her as soon as possible." Yan Xiaocang took the e-book back from the old lady and put it back in the bag with more care than taking the life-saving medicine.

    "This is a book, not a cake. Even if you give it back to her, you can finish reading it before talking." The old lady reminded the boy who looked a little stubborn, and then took off one of the clothes hanging on the wall.

    "This kind of cloth quasi-hunter equipment is not very protective. However, until I don't know what category your abilities belong to, I can only let you wear cloth clothes that will not affect your performance. You can look for equipment that suits your abilities in the future.  Bar."

    There was no fitting room in the tree house. Although he was facing an old lady who was at least seventy years old, Yan Xiaocang still felt embarrassed. He hid behind the shelves, quickly took off his clothes and took the uniform the old lady gave him.  Put it on.

    The light green fabric is strong and comfortable, imitating the style of military training uniforms. The cuffs and waist are tied up. After putting it on and exercising a few times, Yan Xiaocang found that it had no effect on his movements. He kicked his legs and moved  The kick hit his shoulder, causing the wind to blow off several pieces of equipment on the shelf.

    "The young man is very good, and his energy is exposed. At this level, novice tasks are no longer difficult for you." The old lady was as happy as looking at her own grandson.

    "Go ahead, you can go to the quasi-hunter gathering point at the east end of the log square to get your pet Zuma and the smart terminal. If you come to buy things from me in the future, you will have to spend money - of course, I only have quasi-hunter equipment here, nothing good.  Something, you may not come back in the future.¡±

    "No, grandma, I will definitely come back to see you!" Yan Xiaocang said with certainty. Although he did not know the specific identity of the old lady, after getting along with her for a short time, he felt as if he had an extra relative.

    Seeing Yan Xiaocang packing up the old clothes he had taken off and putting them into his backpack, the old lady asked in confusion: "These clothes are no longer useful, why are you still carrying them? They will increase your burden."  "

    "These clothes were bought for me by my mother who worked hard to earn money. I want to carry them with me. If you are tired, scared, or shrink, just take a look." Yan Xiaocang answered seriously.

    The old lady laughed happily and took off something like a watch from her wrist.

    "This smart terminal is given to you personally by me. Originally, I would give you a piece when you arrive at the assembly point, but my old lady is happy to give it to you, and no one will gossip."

    Yan Xiaocang didn¡¯t know what it was and what its use was, but it was the old lady¡¯s wish. He took it with both hands, bowed respectfully, and then put it on his wrist.

    Under the guidance of the old lady, I put the things into my backpack one by one.

    "Normally, light items should be placed at the bottom and heavy items at the top, so that your center of gravity can be adjusted to the most suitable position for walking. But when climbing, it should be reversed, with heavy items on top.The weight is concentrated on the buttocks, making it easier for you to lean over and climb mountains.  "

    Yan Xiaocang had never heard of these things. He never thought that a backpack could contain so much knowledge. He packed it up with admiration and said, "Grandma, I will definitely come to see you in the future. I can learn a lot."

    "Okay, I'm bored alone, so of course I'm happy to have someone to chat with."

    When he was about to leave, Yan Xiaocang suddenly thought of a question: "Grandma, how many colors are there in IC cards? Are there any differences between different colors?"

    The old lady stared at Yan Xiaocang for a long time, and finally gave a wry smile: "Grandma really admires you. When other people come to Qimeng Paradise, they must prepare for at least half a year in advance, collect various information, and have some understanding of this world that is different from the earth.  I dare not come in until I have a full understanding. This is the first time I have encountered someone like you who barged in without knowing anything."

    "I am prepared. In addition to those too expensive books, I bought a lot of pirated magazines and novels, and I also watched the TV program about Dream Paradise every time."

    "Okay, needless to say. Those things are all advertisements. To put it simply, although you have just passed through the Forgetting Gate, although you feel that the gravity, air, animals and plants here are the same as before, Qimeng  Heaven is indeed two worlds completely different from the earth. In the future, you will understand it little by little as you experience it. Your main task here is to hunt various beasts and monsters and get reward for the task. You can also go there by yourself  Kill monsters and sell their fur and other things to shops like ours to make money.¡±

    "I know this. That's why we are called hunters." Yan Xiaocang couldn't wait to say, "I've seen the Nine-Star Hunter on TV. It's so majestic and handsome!"

    "Bullshit!" Unexpectedly, the old lady said a dirty word, "That's an advertisement! The real Nine-Star Hunter is a god-like existence in this space. The Dream Paradise has been open for twenty years, and there have been one hundred and seventy years.  Out of tens of thousands of hunters, only five of them have reached nine stars. Let¡¯s not talk about this anymore, the old lady will do the last literacy for you, and you will have to learn slowly by yourself in the future.¡±

    "Thank you, grandma." Yan Xiaocang quickly picked up the tea cup on the counter, took a glass of water from the water dispenser, and handed it over with both hands.

    "In Qimeng Paradise, there are roughly three different professions based on personal abilities. Combat hunters with good physical strength and strength generally use heavy weapons for close combat; gunner hunters with quick reactions and agile movements use long-range  Weapon attack; mentally strong monk hunters guide alpha particles for support. The test you take when registering is to find out what profession you are suitable for. Yellow means that you are suitable for combat hunters, red means that you are suitable for gun hunters, and blue means that you are suitable for gun hunters.  Suitable for being a monk hunter. As for your green color, it means that you are suitable for any profession. It is the one with the smallest number of people. On average, there is only one hunter in ten thousand."

    "So, I am the strongest?" Yan Xiaocang said happily.

    "Not necessarily." The old lady interrupted the boy's dream. "The human body can absorb and retain a limited number of alpha particles. An even distribution means that you can do anything, but can do nothing poorly. Do you remember that Chinese proverb?  ? A new trick can be eaten all over the world. Go ahead and think about what I say when you have nothing to do."

    "Well, thank you, grandma." Yan Xiaocang bowed again, turned around and left the tree house.

    When he was about to reach the crowded gathering place, the boy suddenly remembered that he had forgotten a question: "I have been talking for a long time, what are alpha particles, and I haven't asked yet."

    He wanted to take out the "Nightmare in Paradise" that Sominni gave him to check the information and see the people walking around him, but decided to wait until later.

    In the square and in front of the assembly point, there were hundreds of people wearing the same style of clothes as the quasi-hunter uniforms that Yan Xiaocang received. It seemed that they had entered Qimeng Paradise from all over the world today, and there were constantly people wearing various armors.  Or people in uniforms were walking among the crowd, handing out something, and it felt like I was on the set of a fantasy movie.

    Thinking that they were introduction materials for would-be hunters, Yan Xiaocang accepted all comers and collected a stack of them in a short while. After taking a closer look, he realized that these beautifully printed brochures were all advertisements.

    "The seven-star hunter team leads the team across the Prancing Horse Plains. The Prancing Horse mercenary group monopolizes most of the Prancing Horse Plains. Missions, hunting, upgrades, and rewards are all at your fingertips!"

    "The Stars Mercenary Group with nine six-star hunters is your best choice."

    "How to advance from a quasi-hunter as quickly as possible? Becoming a three-star hunter in one year is not a dream! You pay the money, and the plateau mercenary group will do the rest."

    So on and so forth, much the same.  Only then did Yan Xiaocang realize that there were so many mercenary organizations in Qimeng Paradise.

    "Yan Xiaocang! Come over here!" A girl suddenly shouted in the distance,When Xiao Cang heard the sound and looked over, it turned out to be Suo Minni, who had not been separated for a long time.

    Thinking of the valuable e-book that the girl gave him, Yan Xiaocang hurriedly walked over, took out "Nightmare in Paradise" and handed it over: "I just knew this thing is too valuable, I can't have it."

    "I've given it to you. Do you think it's useless?"

    "It's useful, but it's too expensive."

    "Okay, I still have a revised edition. Do you want me to give the revised edition to you?" Seeing the boy's face turning red, Suo Minni rolled her eyes and said, "Since you know it's precious,  How dangerous it is to leave it here with me, please keep it for me, I will ask you for it when I want to see it."

    Yan Xiaocang felt that what the girl said made sense, so he had to pretend it was back. At this time, the girl saw the smart terminal in his hand.

    "Your smart terminal is very good. Who gave it to you? It's at least two models more advanced than the ones issued." As she spoke, the girl grabbed Yan Xiaocang's hand and started operating it skillfully.

    "Yan Xiaocang, male, sixteen years old, physical strength 70, strength 95, agility 105, spirit 80. Such average values, no wonder you were able to get the green IC card."

    Yan Xiaocang felt that the little hand holding him was warm and soft, and he felt panicked. He didn't know what to say for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "If I am more advanced, I will give it to you."

    The girl was stunned for a moment, let go, and laughed: "Don't you think this is valuable? There are still hundreds of copies of "Nightmare in Paradise" around the world. This smart terminal of yours should be a beta version. If you have money, there is no place to buy it.  . Moreover, DNA confirmation has been carried out after you put it on. Unless you are a seven-star or above monk, there is no way to unlock it."

    "You mean, this smart terminal is more valuable than that e-book?" Yan Xiaocang had the urge to run back and return it to the old lady.
