The Global Advent of the Elves

The subway drove underground for nearly 20 minutes and finally arrived at the station.

Lin Zhou followed the team off the train.

I looked back at the route map and saw that the subway would continue to the next stop.

According to the direction of the subway, they should be underground now, or to be more precise, they might be in the sea or on the seabed.

He had seen the subway line map before in the subway station. It was a three-dimensional cone.

From the Union Artificial Island down, there is a cone-shaped subway network transportation system connected to the seabed. There are many different directions and subway frequencies, divided into several lines.

Building a subway under the sea or a subway connecting to the sea?

This project is so difficult that it can be said to be world-class.

The engineering marvel of the Channel Tunnel looks like a child's play compared to this.

Can you do it on the seabed? Can you do it in the sea? Can you do it horizontally? Can you do it vertically?

Even if Lin Zhou didn't know much about this aspect, he still knew how many major technical problems there were in water pressure, underwater construction, gas circulation, train driving gradient, etc.

How high is the technological level of the Elf Alliance?

He didn't know either.

However, in such a large project, there will definitely be a lot of use of elves.

The magical abilities of many elves, if properly developed and utilized, can play a breakthrough role in many industries.

However, the Elf Alliance now controls these technologies by itself, and for the time being only accepts investment and development in the form of technical cooperation with various countries, and it is only in its infancy.

Therefore, Lin Zhou intuitively felt that the gap between the daily society he lived in and the technological level of the Elf Alliance's artificial island was so huge.

Lin Zhou turned around and followed the candidate team through the turnstile, exited the subway station, and arrived at a huge bowl-shaped undersea glass room.

The blue water is rippling above your head, and various marine creatures are swimming in the water, sometimes mixed with many elves. The interlacing of sea water and lights is so beautiful that it is not inferior to the undersea tunnels of many aquariums.

In the middle of this underwater glass room, there stood a huge stone door with a dark gem embedded on the top.

The stone door was open, but there was another scene inside.

White clouds and clear sky, lush dense forests, forest paths covered with short grass, occasional flashes of Bibi birds, Bada butterflies, and Rattata

The stone gate is like a passage connecting different worlds, leading to another world.

This is the entrance to the maze

Lin Zhou felt very miraculous when he saw the scene in front of him. Although he had seen many maze live broadcasts, this was the first time he saw the maze entrance.

This scene is still a bit subversive, and it can only be attributed to the magical power of this world.

Around Shimen Fei, there were mostly trainers carrying their luggage, and it was very lively with people coming and going.

There are many brand-name stores, selling supplies such as potions, energy cubes, elf balls, and portable food for humans.

Trainers enter the maze, where supplies can be easily obtained.

Lu Le led the team of candidates to the stone door at the entrance of the maze.

Lin Zhou saw that at the entrance of the maze, there were several gates similar to those used in subway stations.

There were several trainers in uniforms nearby who were on duty in shifts and looked like security guards.

Lu Le led the team to the entrance of the maze, pointed at the gate at the entrance and said:

"In your picture book, you should have received the electronic maze key delivered free of charge by the Alliance Candidate Office. You can enter the maze by swiping it yourself."

The maze is controlled by the Elf Alliance. It is not accessible to trainers casually. It requires transportation fees just like swiping a card on a car.

Trainers can choose to buy an electronic key or apply for an annual pass. One key is consumed for each entry, and the annual pass is equivalent to an unlimited number of times per year.

Trainers generally choose based on their personal circumstances and needs.

Once you enter the maze, you can stay as long as you want, as long as your food supplies can hold you back.

However, under normal circumstances, the limit of carrying luggage for normal operations is about two months.

Fortunately for the elves, the main food energy cubes are small and can be carried in large quantities, and there are also edible tree fruits in the maze.

But it’s difficult for the trainers themselves.

The nutritional structure of the diet of humans and elves is completely different.

There is no food in the maze that can supplement the daily nutrients needed by humans. Trainers can only eat the food they bring.

Therefore, trainers generally do not stay in the maze for more than two months.

Electronic keys for different mazes have different prices. Keys for junior mazes are cheaper, ranging from 5 yuan each.

The difference between mid-to-high-end mazes is even greater depending on the products. For a maze with rich products, the key price may be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions.

Therefore, it is really hard to say whether the trainer will make a profit or loss on his next maze adventure.

And you can't buy them if you have money. Most of the dungeon keys are only available for purchase according to the trainer level.

Junior trainers can only buy junior keys, intermediate trainers can only buy intermediate keys, and advanced trainers may not necessarily be able to buy high-level keys.

Advanced mazes are more special and dangerous, and the keys are not easy to buy.

Lu Le explained the exam matters to the candidates, and then took out a few boxes from the storage box on the side.

Opening the box, there is a row of brand new brooch-shaped cameras.

"Each person gets a camera and puts it on his chest. The camera will record your performance during the assessment process and will also summarize the scores for investors.

There is a switch on the camera. You can decide whether to switch it on or off, but this is an opportunity for you to show yourself.

In addition, there is a locator in the camera. If you encounter any danger and cannot return, we can use the locator to find you. "

Lu Le opened the box and put it aside, and the candidates who were interested came to line up to receive it.

Lin Zhou noticed that Lu Le mentioned "investors" again, but he still didn't know what it meant.

Lin Zhou and the others took the cameras and put them on their chests. Seeing that everyone was ready, Lu Le clapped his hands, looked at his watch, and said:

"Okay, your assessment has officially begun now. You can form a team or act alone. In ten days, just return here with the elves you captured."

The assessment started very haphazardly, and there was no precise time, let alone anything else.

No wonder it is said that the internal assessment is just a formality for the children of the famous family to obtain trainer qualifications. Now it seems that it is really simple.

Lu Le left after explaining the task to them.

Lin Zhou waited there for a while. He did not set off immediately, but looked at the actions of others.

Some of the candidates went directly to the gate to swipe the picture book and enter the maze, while others went to the nearby store to buy supplies.

Lin Zhou was fully prepared and did not need to buy supplies or anything. He took the illustrated book and swiped it by the turnstile. The illustrated book indicated that an Evergreen Forest Key had been consumed.

The turnstile opened and Lin Zhou walked in.

The ground beneath my feet changed from matte tiles to a dirt road. In front of me was the deep forest filled with fresh air, and behind me was the modern undersea subway station.

Lin Zhou finally set foot in the maze for the first time.

We are still at the entrance of the maze, and we can still see a lot of trainers carrying backpacks and bags around their waists, with elf balls on their waists, and following the elf around them. If we walk a little further into the maze, the crowds should be sparse.

Lin Zhou walked forward while looking at the surrounding jungle and the occasional wild elves.

Turning my head, I happened to see a familiar figure not far ahead, wearing a hoodie and followed by a hot cat.

Lin Zhou rolled his eyes, released the Mimikyu from the elf ball, and walked forward.
