Chapter 1692 Hermit City
"How did you get into this game world? It's actually 5077 A.D. Now. If you are 2059, then we have a span of more than 3,000 years! Don't you think this is amazing? By 2059, you should be an old man, right? Um… I mean, from what you said before, it seems like you were an adult from the beginning of the apocalypse in 2015. Then you should be old after 40 years of the apocalypse. As far as I know, in 2059, Earth was not as advanced as we are now… Hi, Qin An, do you have a wife? I mean, is your wife still alive? How many children… Did she give you? I've heard that ancient women were very fertile. It's possible to have triplets at once, and quadruplets. Did your wife give you triplets? "
Triplets?
Weng Lan gave birth to quadruplets for Qin An.
However, one of them should have been created by the Emperor Sword God's genes. Otherwise, he would have been pregnant with triplets.
Why did Wei Hong mention the triplets? Was it a coincidence or was it intentional?
Qin An felt that things had become even more complicated and confusing. At the same time, he was certain that Wei Hong must have found out about him in some way. The reason why she ran to her side to make a dog skin plaster was not because of her great charm, but because of a mysterious reason that she didn't know what it was. What exactly was it? Qin An could not understand.
The day passed, and after walking for an entire night, dawn came. At this time, the surroundings were still filled with bones. Just as Qin An and the others were already in despair, a white light suddenly flashed in front of them, and an NPC appeared.
"Congratulations to the players, after the death of the Rabbit Bone Empress' family, you have shown enough patience and friendship. The door to the Rabbit Hermit's hometown will be opened to all of you! Please note that this is a Level 20 map. After entering, you can return to your Novice Village through the portal. You can also return to the main city of the new map directly from the Novice Village. The hometown of the rabbit hermit had continuous mountains, and the city surrounded by the mountains was called Hermit City. The experts in Hermit City are craggy, and the rabbit hermit is hiding inside. He belongs to the boss you need to attack. Once you find him and kill him, you will receive an absolutely generous reward. This is a hidden storyline mission. The rabbit hermit was the only one who could not be resurrected after death. Therefore, he must not be killed by other players first. If that was the case, the hidden storyline quest and reward would disappear completely. Hermit City is one of the northern cities of the Crippling Blood World. Players from the sixteen nearby Novice Villages will eventually find their way into the map of the city. The map is now poisoned by zombies. Go find the player "Traveller of Pain". It will give you clues about the rabbit hermit. Important note, painful travelers are not NPCs. Everyone you encounter after entering the map may be key characters, so you must try your best to identify them! May I ask if you want to open the hidden mission to enter the wild area of Hermit City, the hometown of the rabbit hermit connected to the tunnel on the third floor of the rabbit cave? "
Holy sh*t!
The so-called rabbit cave's third floor was connected to a large map, Qin An was surprised and did not hesitate. Yao Zi and Wei Hong did not refuse to enter directly. In the blink of an eye, they appeared in a mountain field. Although the scenery nearby was strange and beautiful, Qin An had just found that the surroundings were full of zombies. The zombies had rank marks on their heads, ranging from Level 21 to Level 25. They were actually monsters!
…
On the 15th day of the 1st year of the Residual Blood Calendar, in the zombie forest on the east side of Hermit City, Qin An, Yao Zi, and Wei Hong had already reached Level 29.
After enduring all sorts of humiliation, Wei Hong finally became a member of Qin An's squad. She was Her Lady Queen's slave.
There was nothing she could do. Yao Zi needed someone to take care of her. After being a queen for too many years, she needed someone to be beside her.
This person was originally supposed to be Qin An, but Yao Zi found that he couldn't lose his temper with Qin An, so Wei Hong became a suitable candidate.
Qin An was very conflicted about this matter, He was too worried and reddened. But he felt that he couldn't let her leave until he understood her, After killing him directly, he felt that he could not let go of the unsolved mystery in his heart. She could not bear to force a confession. This was not Qin An and the Holy Mother. It was just that Wei Hong was too obedient. No matter what good things she fought with Qin An and Yao Zi, she would not ask for them. Even if she acted resentfully, a fool could tell that her goal was definitely not equipment or anything else. It was just Qin An.
If she couldn't find out what she wanted from Qin An, Wei Hong went to curry favor with the Demon Seeking Child.
Although Yao Zi was careless, he wasn't stupid. He also knew that he was on guard against Wei Hong. The more she inquired about Qin An, the more Yao Zi didn't say anything, causing Wei Hong to feel extremely conflicted every day.
It was in this strange atmosphere that they had spent the past few days.
However, in the past day or two, Wei Hong's anxiety had calmed down. She suddenly put away all her curiosity and didn't ask anything. This made Qin An even more curious. Qin An really wanted to follow her example and ask, but in the end, she stopped. It could be seen that Wei Hong didn't have any plans.
He hadn't been to Hermit City on this map for a few days. At first, there was no one in the city. Later, many players came from the city. Qin An, Yaozi, and Wei Hong were busy leveling up, and they were a little farther away from Hermit City.
Wei Hong was a pitiful Poison Master. She only had one skill, releasing poison gas to reduce the monster's defense. If she fought against monsters, it would basically be crippled because her system's attack power was too weak.
Together with Qin An and Yaozi, they were of great use. The three of them worked together more and more tacitly. Although they needed more and more experience to upgrade, they kept changing the map and their leveling speed did not slow down.
Level 30 was about to arrive. Apart from the secret of Wei Hong's identity, Qin An was also worried about the character's clue, "Traveller Wandering". It had been so many days since they had even encountered a player. The mission character did not know where to find it.
Another morning, the sunshine was perfect, and the surrounding scenery was extremely beautiful. Qin An woke up early to go to level up, but Yao Zi was unwilling.
"Practice leveling every day. I feel that life is no longer fun. Qin An, let's rest and go shopping in the city."
"Shopping? What do you need?"
"No, I heard Wei Hong say that their ancient times are your modern times. Women often shop for things. The purpose is not to buy them, but to go shopping at twenty!"
Qin An was dumbfounded.
Yao Zi's face flushed red and his apricot eyes rolled.
"What expression? Do you think I'm not a woman? Or do you think I shouldn't go shopping?"
He didn't dare to answer, because that was exactly what Qin An thought.
Yao Zi was an Orc Queen. Was the Queen and the woman a kind of creature? Apparently not.
Looking at Qin An's face, Yao Zi suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart. How could this be?
There would be this kind of emotion, and the Demon Child felt very irritated.
So she decided not to think too much and decided to rest today and go shopping!
Wei Hong immediately clapped her hands and cheered. Qin An glared at her. She stuck out her tongue and looked more and more like a good baby with a shy face. Qin An's entire body was not good anymore.
…
Hermit City was a bustling and enormous city. The buildings here were magnificent. It looked so unreal. It was indeed something created by the system. All sorts of skillful facilities were probably beyond the imagination of countless designers in the real world.
There were already a lot of people in the city. Qin An roughly understood. It was hard to say if there were more than a few hundred thousand people in the city. What was somewhat surprising was that not only were there people from the Future World inside, there were also people from outside the Vault of Heaven.
It took Qin An a long time to gather information before he understood what was going on.
News of the Cosmos God Stone had spread throughout the world. Doomsday merchants were very powerful. They spread the news faster than the virus plague.
Regardless of whether this news was true or not, the various forces outside couldn't sit still any longer. They began to send people into this place to check. The terrifying aspect of the system was quickly revealed. Everyone who entered this place would become weak and become players, without exception.
This was actually very normal. Even the Ancestral Beast and the Sword God were unable to resist the system. Who could do anything about it?
After these people entered the Residual Blood World, they naturally wouldn't be able to leave. However, every faction had some capable people. These people could allow information to be transmitted within and outside the Residual Blood World, so the information about the Residual Blood World was more detailed and accurate. The legend of the Universe God Stone was also considered to be true.
According to what Qin An had learned, at least Kowloon City, the Death Sect, and the Barbarian Beast Emperor Zi Yang had already planned to send large forces into the Doomsday Residual Blood World to fight for hegemony. Their goal was also to attack the final BOSS and obtain the Universe God Stone.
Of course, at the beginning, they only sent troops in. The true leaders would not appear yet, because they still had to confirm the accuracy of the existence of the Universe God Stone. After all, the Vault of Heaven was not a place where they could casually enter and exit. They had to be cautious when entering the pit. If it was confirmed, then all the leaders would definitely personally enter the game to snatch the Universe God Stone. This was a big event related to the future.
Qin An's mood was a little complicated. Who would Kowloon City send? The Qin Family led by Weng Lan? And that woman … no, she should call her mother. Qi Rou, will she come look for her?
Now that Qin An's memories had recovered and his body had transformed into Qin An's body in his previous life, he naturally missed Weng Lan and the others very much.
Although he had dark attributes after entering the game, his dark attributes were somewhat limited. For example, his ability to pry into the hearts of others, such as the opening of his spatial ability, Qin An was unable to enter the Necromancy World, so he was unable to revive the people inside. This was a very depressing matter.
"Qin'an, Qin'an! Look at the clothes here!"
Yao Zi's aesthetics was shifting to humans, and to put it bluntly, it was actually shifting to Qin An.
She knew what kind of clothes Qin An liked to look at, so she also wanted to wear them.
Qin An went to the clothing store to take a look. The clothes he sold were quite a lot. There were both male and female styles. They were indeed beautiful.
These clothes did not have any attributes. After wearing them, they would completely cover up the original shape of the equipment they were wearing. They were only used for beauty.
However, beautiful clothes were very expensive, and some required over ten thousand gold coins.
Fortunately, Qin An's group of three didn't lack money these days. Seeing that Yao Zi liked it, Qin An was so happy that he bought fashion for her and himself.
Seeing that Wei Hong was looking at him pitifully like a groundhog, Qin An's heart softened for some reason, so he bought her a beautiful dress and spent a lot of money.
Wei Hong seemed to be very happy when she received the clothes from Qin An. She was so happy that she forgot herself. That feeling made Qin An feel strange again. Wasn't it just a piece of clothing? Was she so happy?
Qin An did not understand Wei Hong's thoughts, and Wei Hong was certainly not so happy because of a piece of clothing.
She secretly said in her heart, "Qin An's heart is so warm. I like him like this! I really like him!"
After dressing neatly, the three of them continued on their way, wandering around.
Unintentionally, Qin An and Wei Hong heard the discussions of the people nearby.
"These three idiots, who have money to burn, actually buy flashy fashions. Don't they need consumables?"
"Who cares? It's probably the young master of a large clan that doesn't dare to leave the city! Three scum! Let's wait for the zombies to attack the city and see what they do!"
"Hey hey, look at those two women. They look really good, especially the mature one. They look really exciting!"
Qin An didn't mind the many discussions.
Let them talk about it. The area of Hermit City is a safe area. There is no way for players here to PK. Although they can make a move, the health of both sides will not decrease no matter what. Qin An is too lazy to bother dealing with a group of players who can't be killed.
"Good miss, sir, give me some gold coins and let me buy something to eat."
A beggar dressed in tattered clothes suddenly appeared in front of Qin An and the others and jumped down from Qin An.
There are beggars in this game?
Qin An really didn't know that in the Residual Blood World, apart from the six main professions, there were also many other life player professions, such as chef, beggar, doctor, and so on.
Qin An asked the beggar his question, and the beggar explained with a smile,
"My name is Pan An. I used to be a mage, but I changed my profession to beggar when I encountered a hidden mission. Now, I'm at level 24! Hehe, kindhearted people, if you can give me some money, I can increase the beggar's experience. In return, I will give you some information … Don't look at my clothes, my tattered clothes are a Level 20 Gold Beggar Set! My information was notified by the system. This set of equipment can increase the difficulty of notifying the system! "I see that the three of you have an extremely difficult task to tell you. I won't tell you about ordinary people!"
No matter what, this beggar was actually like a swindler.
However, Qin An was rich now and was not afraid of being cheated. In order to find out what was going on, Qin An took out money and gave it to the beggar.
The beggar was very happy. He looked around and felt that no one was eavesdropping. He then leaned on Qin An's ear and said, "Sir, do you remember the zombie siege that happened in the Novice Villages?" Many zombies had been created in the Novice Villages during that battle. These zombies were different from the zombie monsters in the wild. They were intelligent, and they were also players before! You must remember this news. Tonight, at ten o'clock, the intelligent zombies will launch a general attack on Hermit City. Their goal is to occupy this city and then eat the people in the city as food! And this zombie siege incident will touch upon a random plot, and unconscious zombies in the system may also appear! Dear Sir, if you don't want to be eaten by the zombies, then I suggest that you leave the city! Of course, if you are strong enough, you can stay. After all, the equipment released by the zombie siege is very good. It could also be considered an opportunity that could be encountered but could not be sought. "This ability is also a major mission. It is called 'Saving Hermit City in Distress'."
Ah? So that's the case, would there be zombies attacking the city today? Qin An was actually very surprised. He hadn't experienced the zombie siege in Novice Village last time, so this time he wanted to stay and take a look.
After chatting with the beggar for a while, there was no more useful information. Qin An left with Demon Wei Hong. Along the way, he continued to be criticized by other players. Almost all of the topics were about fashion and the two women. Qin An was directly ignored.
"Do you want to stay?" Yao Zi could see Qin An's meaning.
"En, let's see. This is the Doomsday Residual Blood World. Zombies are still the mainstream crisis. Sigh, it has been so many years. Why can't Earth get rid of this doomsday?"
Wei Hong interrupted, "Uncle Qin An, I really want to hear what you've been through since 2015!"
Qin An ignored Wei Hong, but his heart trembled slightly.
He suddenly thought of an impossible possibility!
Why was Wei Hong interested in her, and why did she mention Weng Lan and the triplets? Why was she so sticky to herself?
According to the logic that Qin An suddenly thought of, an answer was already on the verge of coming out!
It's just … Isn't this too mysterious? How is that possible? His brain was big enough to imagine such a thing. It was truly amazing. Qin An frowned for a long time and finally denied the logic in his heart.
Just like this, the three of them had different moods to continue walking on the streets. To tell the truth, Hermit City's urban architectural style was truly too perfect. Walking here was like walking in a dream fairy tale world, with an unreal feeling.
Suddenly, a circle of people gathered in front of him attracted Qin An's attention. They walked over with two women. Before they could enter the crowd, Qin An had already seen what was happening in the big circle surrounded by the crowd. Not only did he frown, he saw an acquaintance, the extremely beautiful man he had just met when he entered the game, Yang Guo.
Because of Yang Guo, Qin An understood many things about the future world. Although their relationship wasn't close, Qin An was still grateful to him, so he took him to level up at the beginning. Afterwards, Yang Guo's family leader issued a summons. Yang Guo returned to his family and wanted to invite Qin An along, but Qin An declined politely.
Speaking of which, it was a few days since I saw him. Qin An did not expect to meet him here, and he did not expect that he would be so miserable now.
"Eh? Qin An, isn't this the person you met when you first entered the game? Yao?"
"Uh…"
Later on, Qin An discussed Yang Guo with the Demon Child and said that he was a human. The Demon Child remembered the Demon Child because there was a word "demon" in it, so the Demon Child specifically asked what it meant.
