Chapter 551: Merit Box Lottery

Song Ji rushed forward with an urgency like his heel hitting his buttocks, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the dilapidated door in front of him.

The so-called free night is a kind of game that the metropolis rotates regularly to have fun with the public. There are also small games such as beast fighting arena, card duel, Russian roulette, and death race.

In order to consume the excess energy and resentment of these cyborgs, and because each time a giant company holds an event, it can reap wealth in various ways, a series of production chains have been spawned, mainly based on these small games.

Getting rich quickly is the biggest dream of everyone living in this world without antitrust laws and labor laws, because without money, it is really impossible to move forward.

Every time a competition starts, it attracts a large number of bounty hunters, garbage collectors, mentally ill people, and people who enjoy entertainment to participate, and they continue to add fuel to the fire.

Because for cyberpsychopaths and fun-loving people, their own lives are not important. What is important is to be able to have enough fun. At the same time, they despise everyone who participates in it for money, and they also despise themselves.

The giant corporations at the top, a product of a distorted system that monopolizes everything, probably only exist in science fiction novels. They are called the final producers, who control everything and despise everything at the same time.

Song Ji had met the top executives of giant companies. They were unwilling to even breathe the same air with the untouchables in their eyes, so they put air filters like fish tanks on their heads and were once called Cyberdragons by players.

In today's metropolis, the theme of the new season is Free Night. During a specific period of time, all constraints will be opened. You can take revenge for revenge, grievances for grievances, and even just look at each other to fight.

Back then, the leaders of the first echelon of players watched Free Night complete their initial accumulation and gradually lead all players.

His method was simple: touch the corpse, launch a sneak attack, and then stay alive.

But when it came to Song Ji, he didn't want to stay in that chaotic battlefield for a moment. After all, a stray bullet was enough to take his life. When he was not sure whether he could start over or die after death, he could only retain his strength, that is, he was a coward.

As an ordinary player who is good at receiving second-hand information and cannot catch up with the hot news even if he eats shit, Song Ji did not expect that those outdated news could serve as a treasure of Second Life.

He picked up his shoes, which didn't fit him well and could only be called shoes for the time being. Song Ji looked up at the bronze door, on which were carved a series of relatively abstract paintings, such as a Bodhisattva holding a Gatling gun, angrily beating a white-winged birdman from the West, an orc wearing a Taoist robe, driving thunder and lightning to strike down a raptor fighter plane, and there was also a white-bearded old man with Genesis in his left hand and the Axe of Creation in his right hand, fighting against the Armored Gundam.

As a veteran player of the Gate of All Living Things, Song Ji's biggest feeling is that the planners' level of abstraction is unfathomable, and their imaginations are so big that they are completely like a circle around their necks. Who would have thought that the carvings on this bronze door are all the background stories of this world. 'No, this seemingly barbaric and ancient bronze door is actually iron plated with copper'

Looking at the bronze door with holes all over it and half of it missing, Song Ji's brain suddenly went blank and he thought of other things. The reason why he came to this conclusion was that a magnetic storm soldier accidentally activated his magnetic armor and was sucked to the door and couldn't get off.

Who would have thought that behind this bronze door was a person with an ancient cultivation heritage, and who would have thought that this person's apparent identity was a black market arms dealer.

Song Ji couldn't help but press his temple. This cyber world on the surface actually hides the legendary secret method of cultivating the Tao. Perhaps before this wasteland cyber era, there was an immortal civilization.

It was not until half a year after the launch of "Gate of All Creatures" that someone discovered the hidden clues through a series of tasks, and players learned about the existence of the so-called immortals, thus embarking on a cyber journey of cultivation.

Song Ji had seen that set of guides, and the key NPC of the series of tasks was here, and the key task items were also hidden here.

When the hidden clues were discovered, the structure of the entire server was changed, and a large number of cultivators emerged who used unmanned guided flying swords, nuclear reactors, and solar incinerators as their life-saving magic weapons.

This situation continued until the advent of the Legacy of the Immortal Civilization. Only then did the young players understand what the diversity claimed by "Gate of All Beings" meant. Before Song Ji gloriously ascended to heaven and started his second life, players had already found many hidden servers such as Eastern Fantasy, Western Fantasy, Literary Star Sea, Magic Technology, etc.

The only common point of the elements contained in these hidden suits is that they exist in the form of a lost civilization. There may be an intelligent machine crisis on the surface, but when it comes to digging, it is actually the legacy of an alien civilization. The fighting between the green-skinned orcs here may be the remnants left behind by visitors from other worlds who delved into flesh and blood technology.

Generally speaking, these servers, big and small, all hide a unique hidden thread, and Song Ji is here for this purpose.

The sound of gunfire and the laughter of cyber madmen filled his ears. He took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

A sound of wind chimes rang out, just like the decorations in every small supermarket, reminding that a customer has arrived. A figure carefully connected the positive and negative poles of the generator. The wires were connected, and strings of neon lights flashed, hanging around the neck of the huge Buddha statue in front of the man.

The sound of the wind chimes startled him. The man turned around and looked at Song Ji who was a little overwhelmed and said, "Buddha, have mercy on me. What do you want? A newly imported nervous system, a 99% new electric hand cannon, buy one get two free, buy a hand cannon and get two energy storage batteries, and you can also participate in the merit box lottery. The first prize is a set of Alpha-class armor. Under the witness of Buddha, no one is cheated, and the transaction is fair. Once you leave your hands, you cannot return or exchange them."
