Stepping through the spatial gate, Lu Heng found himself in a city similar to the modern world.
However, this city was not the same as his initial space, which put Lu Heng somewhat at ease.
Perhaps the world connected to this place, a modern city, was also a world where he could survive.
Was this the purpose of his rebirth?
To provide him with several different worlds to choose from, so if the zombies there couldn't be killed, or if he wanted to live in a different world, he could survive freely in these places.
Since this space was no different from a modern city, Lu Heng didn't hesitate. He first had his emu take him around the space to familiarize himself.
After a tour, Lu Heng quickly found the gate leading out of this space and into that real world.
It wasn't an exit from the city. The gate connecting this space to reality was actually at the entrance of a temple.
Lu Heng was surprised at the time. After circling in the sky, he actually saw an ancient temple within the modern city.
After controlling the emu to descend, he stepped inside, wanting to see if the temple also enshrined Buddha statues.
But after stepping through the temple gate, the previously empty temple was suddenly filled with many tourists.
Seeing the "humans" suddenly appearing around him, Lu Heng felt a moment of unease.
With a thought, he tried to hide himself, and then he was back outside the empty temple.
Gazing at the plaque above the temple, it bore four powerful characters: "Da Xiang Guo Temple."
It seemed the spaces were all the same, only the setting of the entrance and exit was slightly different. However, returning was unrestricted. It was likely that with a single thought, if he wanted to return to the space, he could do so from any real-world location.
With this in mind, Lu Heng no longer had any reservations. Considering the attire of the tourists he had just seen, their clothing was varied, and his own outfit didn't seem out of place.
Therefore, Lu Heng once again stepped into the temple, entering that real world.
Watching the people constantly flowing past him, Lu Heng walked towards an incense burner.
"Do you wish to offer incense, benefactor? There are free incense sticks and candles there."
A mechanical voice sounded in Lu Heng's mind. Lu Heng looked around, but saw no one interacting with him.
However, the voice he had just heard was not through his ears. Lu Heng was certain it was a mechanical voice that suddenly appeared in his mind, much like the prompt sounds from NPCs in online games.
A chill ran down Lu Heng's spine, and he focused his gaze on the incense burner in front of him. The voice reappeared, confirming that Lu Heng had not hallucinated.
At the same time, a faint blue screen appeared before him, displaying text that he could understand.
"Do you wish to offer incense, benefactor? There are free incense sticks and candles there. Yes. No."
Next to the text, a small yellow arrow slightly adjusted its direction as Lu Heng turned his head.
So... what kind of world was this?
Subconsciously, he clicked "No," and the screen disappeared. When Lu Heng looked at the incense burner again, neither the prompt nor the screen reappeared.
Scanning the surrounding crowd, Lu Heng quickly turned and left the temple.
Perhaps it was just this temple that had a problem. There were no gods or ghosts here, but instead, game-like electronic screens appeared.
Leaving the temple, Lu Heng entered the city.
There were cars shuttling around, but not many, and everyone drove very orderly.
Walking on the pedestrian path, Lu Heng observed the clothing of the people around him. The people here indeed wore all sorts of things, and each person's style was quite unique.
Looking at the shops and malls along the street, Lu Heng walked towards a crowded mall.
The automatic doors of the mall opened as Lu Heng approached, and for a moment, Lu Heng felt as if he had returned to the time before the apocalypse.
Looking at the dazzling array of goods sold inside the mall, Lu Heng walked to a clothing counter.
As his eyes fell on the clothes, the electronic panel reappeared before Lu Heng.
It provided a detailed description and price of the item Lu Heng was looking at. However, in the lower right corner of the screen, the balance displayed was 0.00.
So, he was a pauper here, a person with not a single cent!
"If there's anything you like, I can get it for you. The styles and attributes of the clothes here are very good. Look, this outfit is very suitable for wearing during combat. This one increases all attributes by 1%."
A woman, dressed provocatively in a well-fitting outfit that accentuated her figure, walked up to Lu Heng and approached him, holding a set of clothes to promote.
"Uh, I don't have enough money," Lu Heng said awkwardly, looking at the clothes as the screen prompted: [All Attributes +1%].
"Oh, is that so? Then you should go outside the city and kill some monsters a few times, or find some suitable tasks at the mission center. Money should be easy to come by," the woman said.
The woman's expression didn't change because Lu Heng lacked money. Instead, she enthusiastically told him how to earn money.
"Are you a newbie? How did you get to the main city? Did you drag your way here?"
Lu Heng "..."
"Can someone explain to me what kind of world this is?"
Seeing Lu Heng remain silent and looking confused, the woman sized him up.
"You can see your level on your panel. However, your panel information is currently protected, so other players and you cannot see each other's information."
"This is a game world?"
Lu Heng asked tentatively. If all else failed, he could directly return to the space. However, his current cluelessness made him feel a bit embarrassed.
"Hahaha, it seems you're really a newbie. Haven't you ever played games before?"
"Since there's no one around now, why don't I, your sister, take you to understand this game." The woman raised her hand and tapped a few times in the air. Lu Heng knew she was probably tapping on the information on her panel.
"Come on, I'll take you around. You probably haven't even done your beginner village quests yet, right?"
"No, I don't know. I'm still completely confused."
"It's okay, I'll take you through the beginner village and then explain the game to you, and you'll understand everything. Oh, and please unlock your permissions so we can add each other as friends."
"How do I unlock—permissions?"
"Just think about your personal information, and the panel will appear before you. Got it?"
"Got it."
