Chapter 8: Main God Space

【Current Location: Private Space】

「You have been assigned to No. 3 Main God Space! 」

「Players can exchange universal points to expand and decorate their private space. 」

After the system prompt tone disappeared, Lu Ming began to examine the room, estimating it to be about several square meters; the decoration was very simple, just a bed and a set of table and chairs, that kind of very simple.

Lu Ming noticed an additional panel within his field of view.

【Panel】

Opened.

Staring at the luck column, Lu Ming fell into thought, wondering if it meant his future dungeons would be very unlucky.

Lu Ming took a deep breath, understood, and discovered he had left the private space.

Still the same old, let's test what effect it has.

A flash of white light appeared again; he opened his eyes to find the surroundings somewhat dim, and faintly heard the bustling sounds.

【Current Location: No. 3 Main God Space (Commercial Street)】

【Earth Time: 19:32】

More specifically, a certain alley in the commercial street. Lu Ming walked toward the alley entrance, and the light gradually brightened.

「Blue-grade armor, only 3 points, new promotion! 」

「High-price buyback of dungeon equipment! 」

「Guild-organized dungeons, special new care! 」

「Guild recruiting! Dungeon rating C level and below! 」

Lu Ming had no reaction; the prosperous scene before his eyes made him suspect he had returned to Earth.

Stepping into the alley, he blended into the crowd.

The commercial street had not only stalls but also various shops: cafés, restaurants, tea houses...

Lu Ming entered a shop, where the boss was wiping a long blade.

The blade's edge reflected a cold light under the lamp.

「Brother! 」

Lu Ming stared blankly, his gaze moving from the blade: 「? 」

「Yes! 」 The boss, tall and sturdy, said: 「Want to buy a weapon? 」

Lu Ming declined, temporarily not wanting to spend points.

「Newbie, there are only three left before the dungeon opens—are you sure you want to buy a handy weapon? 」 The boss flashed a merchant's professional smile: 「Newcomers get a discount. 」

「Three? So soon? 」

Lu Ming thought for a moment; anyway, just looking would still be a loss.

After all, the dean had left a deep impression; he hoped that next time he encountered such a situation, he wouldn't be empty-handed.

「Alright. 」 Lu Ming stepped into the shop.

「」 The boss put down the long blade, guiding Lu Ming into the store: 「Our store's weapon quality is absolutely top-notch! 」

Lu Ming scanned the shelves, seeing a few knives and swords, and even guns!

「Are you also a player? 」 Lu Ming asked.

「Of course, NPCs couldn't have made such good weapons. 」 The boss said.

「Then... 」 Lu Ming looked out the window at the bustling street.

The boss quickly answered his doubt: 「Those vendors are also players. 」

Lu Ming nodded, lowered his gaze, and picked up a dagger.

「Eye-opening! 」 The boss, experienced in sales, promoted his product: 「Don't judge by its ordinary appearance; after cutting a target, its bleeding effect is twice that of ordinary daggers! 」

Lu Ming glanced at it, then put the dagger back in its place.

「No problem, there's more. 」 The boss also interested, continued promoting his weapons.

Lu Ming's gaze fell on a row of firearms; knowing he excelled in melee, he still thought choosing a ranged weapon might be better.

「Used to point shooting? 」 The boss directly recommended the row of rifles.

Meanwhile, Lu Ming picked up a handgun.

【Weapon: Type 92 Semi-automatic Pistol】

「How many points? 」 Lu Ming asked.

「Three points; guns are usually quite expensive, so this is relatively cheap. 」

「Three points... 」 Lu Ming muttered, repeatedly examining the handgun, hesitating more than cutting his own hand.

「Also from C Country? 」 The boss suddenly asked.

Lu Ming nodded: "."

"Old fellow!" the boss put his arm around Lu Ming's shoulders: "To be able to meet someone from Country C in this godforsaken place makes me extremely happy."

"Are you afraid of being scammed?" Lu Ming asked back.

"You can see, it's a 92-style domestically made product." The boss said: "Since you're a fellow countryman, then what's the problem? To be honest, guns are fun to use in instances."

"Why?"

"You know about skills, right?" The boss patiently explained: "Skills have many uses with guns, and moreover, some instances also restrict gun use."

"No problem." Lu Ming still insisted.

Finally, the boss gave him an extra point at a bargain, and also gave two magazines.

Leaving the shop, Lu Ming, following the boss's advice, put the pistol back into his system backpack, so he could summon it at any time, very convenient.

"Ding-dong~"

【You have received a friend request!】

【You have received a server-wide announcement!】

Lu Ming directly ignored the friend request and opened that server-wide message.

For a moment, he was stunned.

【Server-wide message: Lu Ming, if you're also playing the game, the Heart Plaza in Main God Space No. 3.】

Lu Ming's thoughts turned to Mo Yan Qiu Qi Liu Li; he only knew his own name.

But is this the ability of a new server-wide announcement?

At least I haven't…

Lu Ming closed the envelope, planning to wander a bit more before returning to the space.

But in the blink of an eye, he opened the envelope again.

【Location: Main God Space No. 3 (Heart Plaza)】

【Earth time: 20:16】

A girl in a black gothic long dress sat at the edge of the fountain, gazing back at the crowd.

"We're doomed..." the boy beside her covered his forehead, sighing softly: "To just use such an expensive thing, I guess the president will scold me to death."

"I said to use it." The girl's gaze never left the crowd.

Su Zhong helplessly said: "Lin Jiu, you're impulsive; whether you enter the game or not, you know..."

The girl remained silent; the night wind lifted the strands of hair by her ears, brushing her delicate face, like ripples on a calm lake.

Su Zhong knew that saying anything was useless, so he only asked softly: "Is it heavy?"

Lin Jiu nodded silently.

As it approached nine o'clock, the plaza still had fewer people; more new players walked into the space, roaming the Main God Space.

The server-wide announcement took effect.

Lin Jiu's gaze stiffened, like heavy emotions flowing.

He could clearly feel his inner contradiction, both hoping to see and hoping not to be dragged into the game.

【You have received a friend request!】

【Player 94968: has sent you a friend request!】

Lin Jiu's eyes gradually regained their luster, without hesitation, he immediately agreed to the friend request.

【The other party has enabled name hiding…】

【94968: May I ask?】

Lin Jiu quickly replied:

【Lu Ming?】

【Born July 23, living in Huashi City?】

The other side paused for a moment, then a line of text appeared:

【94968: May I ask?】

Lin Jiu quickly gave his name.

The other party didn't reply; the message showed the next line interval as one minute.

Been played?

Lin Jiu stared at the panel; the shadow in his eyes completely settled.

Suddenly, in his peripheral vision he saw a pair of shoes standing right in front of him!

Closing the panel, he also shifted his gaze.

He pulled back the cloak's hat, revealing eyes almost covered by his bangs: 'Lu Ming.'
