Be a man today too!

After exiting the gate, there is an open street in front of you, surrounded by countless buildings and houses, and the houses here are extremely regular and orderly. The entire wall and structure are made of a kind of black metal, which is similar to the pool. It is similar to what I saw in the previous districts, just like a replica.

Although the metal isolation layer on the top floor of the building is about 20 meters away from his head, it is difficult to distinguish under dim light, and it will not give him a very depressed feeling, but as long as he pays a little attention, he will notice , the "sky" here seems a bit too close...

Chi Yuan frowned slightly, retracted his gaze, and looked into the distance at the same time. Although there was no light around, he could still see clearly.

Because just ahead, a light is being cast from the center of the entire fourth district. That light is not dazzling, but very gentle and bright.From a distance, the building in the center looks like an oil lamp lit at night, illuminating every corner, and at the same time attracting all the bugs looking at it...

At this time, after Chi Yuan followed the AI ​​out of the gate, he discovered a strange thing. He noticed that there were hardly any Zerg around. Logically speaking, the vicinity of the optical cable should be like a transmission platform, surrounded by a lot of Zerg. right.

However, there were only a few Zerg that showed up around here, and the few females that entered before him were not seen either.

Moreover, although these Zergs had discovered his identity, they didn't make much movement, they just looked at him secretly, which showed that the Zergs here were extremely vigilant.

At this moment the AI ​​said: "Welcome to the fourth district, my passengers, I will guide you for three days, during these three days, you will be protected, no bugs will touch you, please try your best Maybe you can get familiar with everything in these three days."

Hearing this sentence, Chi Yuan almost understood the reason why no Zerg dared to come forward. Is this the special preferential treatment for new bugs?

But the three-day protection period is over, so what does the real four districts look like?

The calmness of the three "Magic Mountain" brothers is completely different from that of Chi Yuan. Their senses are much more sensitive, and they can naturally feel that there are countless unpredictable existences hidden in this seemingly barren and remote place.Every closed door seems to have bugs secretly peeping inside. I wonder how many bugs can be attracted by the smell of a male bug...

Suddenly their hearts skipped a beat, and they felt something strange, but they didn't dare to look back at the darker place behind them, even though there seemed to be an extremely terrifying aura approaching them.

At this moment, Chi Yuan turned his head and saw that the three "Magic Mountain" brothers were already more than a dozen steps behind, so he said lightly, "Why don't you catch up quickly?"

These words instantly brought back the almost collapsed minds of the three "Magic Mountain" brothers. Not only that, but also the creepy feeling subsided a lot, as if they were dispelled by something... They quickly followed the light.

Chi Yuan began to ask AI: "What kind of place is this?"

AI quickly answered him: "A land outside the law, a paradise."

This sounds completely inconsistent with the rumors, just like boasting, Chi Yuan was not satisfied with this perfunctory answer, and he continued to ask: "Why do you see it?"

AI quickly understood his words, and explained: "After coming here, you will no longer bear the sins of the past, and everything will start from scratch, and there is no need for credit points or any transactions here. Money and power are nothing. There is also no need to worry about food and clothing, because all eating houses are provided for free."

However, this may be an attractive answer to other Zergs, but it is nothing to Chi Yuan, and if it is really so good, it will not be said to be the fourth zone of death.

He noticed that the intelligence brain of this AI was very advanced, and almost avoided all the points of his question. Chi Yuan asked directly: "I heard that you have many rules here, can you explain them?"

The AI's mechanical voice immediately sounded: "There is only one rule here, and that is to try your best to climb the tower."

Climb the tower?This is the second time Chi Yuan has heard this term. The "Magic Mountain" has also said this before, but what exactly does the tower refer to, and where is it located?

AI seems to have seen his doubts, and continued to explain: "The light in front is the light from the tower. This is the 100th floor of the fourth district, and it is also the deepest part of the ground. Climb the tower."

This explanation is not convincing at all, Chi Yuan thought, but it is similar to what he calculated, each district does have one hundred floors.Is it just that there are really bugs crawling out?

The AI ​​seemed to see that he didn't care, and his delicate facial features were even more indifferent: "Every month, residents on the 50th to 100th floor must climb the tower forcibly, and of course they can also form a team." When AI said this, it seemed to be deliberately emphasizing General: "But the number of bugs in the team should not exceed 2! Bugs who do not climb the tower according to the rules will be punished!"

However, the AI ​​found that after he finished speaking, the worm in front of him was still not very interested. It seemed that he couldn't hear the threat at all. Soon after the analysis of the intelligent brain, he could judge from the facial expression of the other party that he was not very interested. I didn't keep the rule of climbing the tower in mind.

If it was other bugs, the AI ​​would not say anything more. The most indispensable thing in the four districts was dead bugs, but after collecting the other party's information just now, it was found to be a rare male bug.

Males are extremely precious no matter where they are, especially in the fourth district. Few males have come here over the years. It is conceivable how high his value data is to "Tower".

After the AI ​​came to this conclusion, it kept trying to tell the other party the importance of climbing the tower, but the other party didn't seem to listen.

This made the AI ​​a little bit difficult. As he walked forward, his brain was constantly analyzing.

At this moment, passing through an alley that looked like a passageway, Chi Yuan glanced to the side, and happened to see a dead body on the ground, which looked like a bug that had just died, and there were some empty cans scattered around him.

Of course the AI ​​also noticed this, he quickly made a judgment, and said: "This female died an hour ago, by the way, although the food here is provided for free, but the amount is not much, the fighting Danger is inevitable from time to time. The world outside the tower has always been like this, but inside the tower is different. Not only is there plenty of food in the tower, but the higher the number of floors you climb, the more abundant the supplies. Tarry got it."

Hearing this sentence, Chi Yuan was immediately attracted attention, any supplies you want?Does that mean that fresh food and a comfortable sleeping space can be easily obtained?

Just as the AI ​​kept calculating, I heard the male next to him say: "If that's the case, then take me to climb the tower now!"

At this moment, the huge data link running in the AI's brain almost broke, and a sluggish look appeared on his expressionless face, but he looked like a real child.

The next moment, the AI ​​spoke up: "Are you sure? You'd better learn more about the four districts. Your new bug protection period has not passed yet, so there is no need to be so anxious."

Hearing this sentence, Chi Yuan found it even more interesting. The AI ​​tried everything before, coercing and luring him to go to the tower, but now he is persuading him not to be so anxious. It seems that the strangeness of this "tower" There are many places...

However, Chi Yuan has made up his mind, and he doesn't have any thoughts of wasting time here. It can be seen that in the world at the bottom, there is no way to get in touch with real things. Only by entering the most central tower, can we know more Not to mention that with Chi Yuan's current body, he couldn't survive outside the tower. He couldn't accept canned food or poor sleeping conditions.

At this time, the AI ​​still didn't intend to stop persuading, he continued to speak: "You don't know the rules about climbing towers, do you? It's very dangerous to rush in without preparation, especially if you don't choose the right companion. when."

His last sentence was quite meaningful. When the three brothers of "Magic Mountain" heard it, they immediately understood that the AI ​​must regard the four of them as a group, and there can only be two bugs in a team. If it is normal logic, then they will be divided into two groups, and one of the three brothers will definitely team up with this male. According to the meaning of AI, they are not good companions?

Although "Magic Mountain" was indeed a little uneasy when it entered the fourth district just now, but after gradually getting used to it, it became much better. Besides, the three of them were domineering before, and almost no insects dared to confront them, even if they ate one today. It's a big loss, falling into this hell where they can only enter and cannot exit, but just after listening to the AI's words, their minds became active again.

They didn't know that these four districts not only don't need credit points, but also provide everything for free, which is no different from eating and living for free. When they heard that the tower is better, they also want to see it.

Seeing that AI said this at this time, it seems to be questioning their strength, but they are at least B-level bugs, which can be counted as good strength, otherwise they would not be reused by the black market, so the three brothers were very dissatisfied. He opened his mouth and said, "Then tell me, what's the matter with climbing the tower?"

The AI ​​seemed to be waiting for his question, and the already edited answer explained everything: "Tower is the abbreviation of Challenge Tower. Every bug needs to challenge from the lowest level. After registration, the corresponding opponent will be assigned. , As long as you kill or knock down the opponent within a certain period of time, you will win, so that the bugs have a chance to climb to a higher place.

And when you compete at the lowest level, there will be countless spectators judging your performance, and you will be sent to which level according to your performance.Of course, the better the strength, the higher the number of layers they will be sent to.However, the highest level is 50 floors, and the rules after 50 floors are quite different.Not only will the mandatory challenge time limit be greatly extended, but there is a real paradise there, and if you become the tower owner of this floor, you can also enjoy a lot of power..."

audience?Tower owner?

These two words have attracted Chi Yuan's attention. First of all, he can judge that the audience does not refer to these bugs in the four districts. They are all challengers, equivalent to playthings to be watched.And the audience behind it is the backstage that the four districts really rely on. No wonder the four districts can boast and provide these free things.In the interstellar era, it is not difficult to easily obtain a huge audience.

And the treatment of the tower owner sounds like it can make any bug tempted. Is this the reason why almost no bugs have left the fourth district for so many years?But this is not the only reason, Chi Yuan thought, there must be other deeper reasons.

At this time, the AI ​​said that he stopped talking. After all, the 50th floor is too far away for a few new worms, and he explained enough. Presumably, this male worm should no longer make a rash decision.

At this moment, only the male worm said: "In this case, please take us there as soon as possible."

If it wasn’t for the AI ​​saying that it’s a tower, Chi Yuan would be hard to see, because the entire building can’t see any corners on the ground floor, and it occupies the entire center of the ground with a huge building area. No, maybe it’s because of its existence , to call this place the center.

And there are still many bugs coming in and out of the gate in front of it. This place is much more prosperous than any of the streets I just walked through. It must be the instinct of bugs to fly moths to the flames.

Chi Yuan looked over and saw that there were not a few bugs wandering outside.

After seeing him, almost all the worms showed complicated expressions, as if they couldn't expect a male worm to come here.

After entering the tower, Chi Yuan discovered that the center of the tower is indeed unimaginably prosperous. If the world outside the tower is gray and colorless, then the inside of the tower is colorful and colorful, and this is only the bottom layer. One can imagine what kind of scenery the tower above is like.

As Chi Yuan walked and looked, he saw that the inside of the bottom tower was like a real beehive, and it was divided into various spaces, large and small. This should be the platform for challenges.

Just as Chi Yuan followed the AI ​​to the registration point, he bumped into a female insect at the corner.

This female insect had obviously just gone through a fierce fight, and the blood on her body hadn't dried up, but there was a black number on the back of her hand: 66, this number was not covered up by the blood at all, it was very brand new.

After realizing this, Chi Yuan took another look, and at this moment, the female noticed his gaze, and he was a little surprised at first: "Male?" Then the smile on his face turned into substance: " Come for the first time, why not consider forming a team with me, don’t worry, I won’t let you get hurt.”

After he finished speaking, he was about to bully Chi Yuan, when he caught sight of the AI ​​in front of him, he said strangely: "The new worms who are still in the protection period, it seems that it is not easy to start."

Having said that, the female did not give up, but whispered: "I live in No. 362, you can come to me, you can come to me before you go to 66..." Under AI's icy gaze, he walked away dejectedly.

Seeing that the female worm didn't act aggressively, and Chi Yuan didn't do it either, but he judged that this number should be the number of floors he could go to, and of course he could choose not to go.

While he was thinking silently, the AI ​​had brought him to the registration office. There were not many females queuing up here, and they were divided into single and double groups.

At this time, the three "Magic Mountain" brothers were a little nervous. Although they planned to sign up, they felt a little uneasy when they thought of sending one to form a team with the male. There are also some holidays, and it is not easy to get along with each other. Secondly, the three brothers have rarely been separated for so many years. What if they are divided into different layers?

At this moment, the male worm watched them and said, "One of you will give me an odd number, and the other will give me an even number.

And such a domineering bug?

The three brothers looked at each other in dismay, but they didn't dare to say anything. Instead, they obediently went to the registration office. When they came back, they also saw a mark on the back of their hands, but the mark was not a number, but the equivalent of Like an ID card, it can be viewed after scanning.

The schedule of the game came out very quickly, and their game would be one hour later.

With the AI ​​following, Chi Yuan watched the two games safely and soundly. Consistent with what he imagined, these games were extremely bloody and cruel. It seems that the bugs here know the preferences of the audience. The game was unbearable to be seen, and there were many casualties.

The strength of the three "Magic Mountain" brothers is not bad, and they all won in the end, but because of their different battle situations, their promotion levels are also different.

It is more difficult to win the boss of the single array, which is promoted to 78, and the number of layers of the double array is 85.

After reading it, Chi Yuan went to the registration point without hesitation. At the registration point, there was only one female worm lazily leaning there, as if waiting for someone. There is no mark, it seems to be a new bug too.

Chi Yuan walked directly in front of the other party, which was also a single-group registration point. At this moment, the female seemed to have noticed him. He brushed back the silver hair on his forehead with his hand, and the corner of his mouth curled up, "Well, I just asked Alright, the single array is already full, why don't you try forming a double array with me?"

is it?

When Chi Yuan heard this, he frowned unobtrusively. Even so, the female insect who directly invited him looked suspicious, even though he was not the first insect to say this.

Just when Chi Yuan was about to refuse, the female tilted her head slightly and said, "Why don't you want to? I can easily take you up to the 50th floor."

Hearing this, Chi Yuan's face turned cold: "Since the registration is full, the two of us just count as a group. I'm talking about odd numbers."
