He Fei’s situation was obviously different from theirs; after he entered the game, the outside time seemed to flow, and He Fei was still able to contact other people through the app; the situation was just too weird.
Mu Sichen didn’t hesitate too much before immediately telling the two: [I’m going to enter the game].
He Fei was his roommate; whether or not He Fei entered the game because of Mu Sichen, Mu Sichen couldn’t leave him alone.
Moreover, the fact that the Crescent Moon Library had turned into the Upper String Library was a matter of concern.
Crescent Moon, Upper String, Half Moon, Full Moon—this was obviously a manifestation of the power of the moon. They had only returned to the real world in less than three days; the crescent moon had turned into Upper String. Mu Sichen suspected that when they rested for seven days and then entered the game again, the library would probably only be one step away from turning into a full moon.
The rest time given to them by the system was always calculated and stuck on the bottom line; if they didn’t go online after the rest time, something big would happen in the game, and the tasks they accomplished before would also be lost.
In this way, it would be better to enter the game a few days earlier.
Mu Sichen and the others were just ordinary people, and the other world was so dangerous. Who wouldn’t want to live for a few more days if they could rest for a few more days?
But nowadays, Mu Sichen had no reason to take a vacation.
Chi Lian: [You’re going in? Okay, I…]
Mu Sichen: [I have no intention of letting you two go in as well; I’ll go in by myself.]
Cheng Xubo: [ That’s not good; even if you’re much stronger than the two of us, it’s too dangerous to go in alone. Our two abilities can always play a supporting role; it’s better for everyone to go together.]
Mu Sichen: [Don’t get me wrong, there’s a reason for you two to stay in the real world, it’s just so you can verify if the time difference between the game and reality has changed].
Mu Sichen was very concerned about the last time change in time, and this time, when He Fei was in the game, he could even send messages outward through the app, so it was obvious that the infiltration of the two worlds was even more serious.
This time, he planned to be the first to enter the game alone and try to see if he could send messages outwards as well as the time change.
In addition, since it was possible to send messages, once he needed the power of Chi Lian and Cheng Xubo, it wouldn’t be too late for him to contact the two and have them enter the game.
After Mu Sichen expressed his point of view, the two agreed.
Chi Lian: [I’ll wait until 12:00 tonight; if I don’t receive a message from you, I’ll take a leave of absence to enter the game to look for you].
Cheng Xubo: [Me too.]
Now it was nearly 10 p.m.; last time they stayed in the game for three days, the real world was only half an hour past; this time, even if the time ratio between the two worlds changed again, two hours was enough to stay in the game for a very long time, and this was the bottom line of what Chi Lian and Cheng Xubo could tolerate.
[Okay.] This time, Mu Sichen didn’t stop them.
After all, the game was dangerous, and these two people’s abilities were also very special. Mu Sichen wasn’t a person who forcefully showed off; when it was time to ask for help, he would definitely ask for help.
Because the two worlds flowed differently, it was unknown how long He Fei had already been in there and whether any accidents had occurred.
In order to avoid a long night, Mu Sichen used only two minutes to put on his clothes, put on his backpack, and prepare to enter the game.
When he clicked on the game pod app, Mu Sichen looked at the doll and stretched out his hand as he asked, “Are you going to enter the game with me? How can I take you in this time?”
The doll poked out its tentacle and rested on Mu Sichen’s wrist, then the Q-bouncing touch disappeared and the tentacles hung down softly.
And a circle of tattoos that looked like a bracelet appeared on Mu Sichen’s wrist.
From the totem to the octopus doll, flower arm to a copied doll, and even such a thin wristband, Qin Zu’s power on him seemed to be getting weaker and weaker.
Mu Sichen looked at the bracelet and froze for a second, then he pressed the button to enter the game early, and his surroundings changed; he was back in the game.
This time the backpack didn’t follow him in; it seemed that the last time he was able to enter with a backpack was really because of the small octopus; with Mu Sichen’s power, it wasn’t enough to bring additional items into the game.
But the cell phone that had downloaded the game app did follow in.
It was just that the phone had no signal and couldn’t dial out, and the rechargeable powerbank in the backpack couldn’t be brought into the game, so it was necessary to save the phone’s power.
Tongzhi Town hadn’t changed much; the townspeople who had already awakened themselves had begun to live in an orderly manner, and at this time it was 10:00 p.m., so there were already a lot of people who were ready to go to bed.
When Mu Sichen passed by the town center, he saw several people holding design drawings standing in front of a small building discussing something. It was so late, and he didn’t know what they were doing.
Time was running out, and Mu Sichen didn’t have time to understand the problems of building a new town. He flew in the direction of the Upper String Library.
Mu Sichen’s current running speed had reached 30-40 km/h; the town wasn’t that big; he ran at full speed, and it only took him 20 minutes to arrive at the junction of the town and the library.
This place was covered by fog. Chi Lian and Cheng Xubo had tried to go deeper into the fog, but every time they walked in, they would get confused and go back the way they came; there was no way to get in there.
Mu Sichen also tried once and returned to the same place in less than five minutes, similarly unable to enter.
He stood outside the mist and spun around, not knowing what to do.
At this time, a system prompt rang out.
[Detected player attempting to enter the boundary domain; the boundary domain is an unformed and unstable domain; the outer perimeter of the domain is not open to the public for the time being; in order to enter the boundary domain, the player needs to undergo harmless treatment]
“What does it mean?” Mu Sichen really didn’t understand a single word of the system prompt.
[The Upper String Library is a pillar and part of the realm that the “One-Pupil Moon” has seized from the Pupil of the Sky, and the power of the pillar belonging to the Pupil of the Sky has not yet been fully digested by the One Pupil Moon and has not yet been integrated into the Jingshen Town, and it belongs to the unstable border field between Tongzhi town and the Jingshen Town.]
At this moment, there were two opposing energies within the boundary domain, and their rules and forms were all in an unstable state, so it couldn’t be opened to the outside world. Any kind of power that entered the boundary domain may be targeted by both forces at the same time, which was very dangerous.
So that was what the boundary domain meant; He Fei’s log-in location was actually the boundary domain. He really knew how to pick a place.
“What is harmless treatment?” Mu Sichen asked again.
[Since the two forces of the boundary domain are devouring each other, even a pillar level dependent entering the boundary domain will be devoured, and any kind of faith outside of these two forces will not be able to survive for too long within the boundary domain. Only ordinary people with no faith or harmless people with balanced power in their bodies can safely enter within the boundary domain.]
Mu Sichen understood the system’s meaning.
If he had to compare it, at this time, the domain of the Upper String Library should be a closed space filled with hydrogen and oxygen, and any Fallen who entered at this time would be like a small spark that would trigger a chain of big explo-sions.
Only non-combustible items with no sparks could enter in order to maintain the stability of the energy inside.
Or a gas similar to carbon dioxide that was generally more stable on its own and wouldn’t react with two gases.
Chi Lian and Cheng Xubo, as well as the residents of the town, were his followers, belonging to one small spark after another; naturally, they could not enter the boundary domain .
On the contrary, He Fei was first contaminated by Qin Zu’s power and then awakened to consciousness by Mu Sichen’s self-totem; the two forces canceled each other out, and he was neither Qin Zu’s follower nor Mu Sichen’s follower, so he naturally belonged to a more stable force.
It seemed that this wasn’t a place that Chi Lian and Cheng Xubo could enter.
Mu Sichen somewhat understood the meaning of harmless treatment.
It was to find a power that would cover up Mu Sichen’s own self-totem power so that the power in his body would reach a balance.
Mu Sichen thought for a moment and placed the wristband on his lower back, trying to transfer the power of this tentacle to the lower back totem.
If this method didn’t work, he could try using the pickaxe to dig his own wall base and scrape off the totem on his waist.
As soon as he put his wrist on it, Mu Sichen felt cool air drilling into the back of his waist.
Since the golden glasses had to deduct 2,000 energy values to wear them, no more energy would be deducted for an hour. Based on the principle of making the best use of what you have, Mu Sichen wouldn’t take off the glasses as long as it was not yet one hour.
Through the glasses, Mu Sichen saw a small tentacle pattern coiled in the center of the totem on his back waist.
As the tentacle pattern entered into the self-totem, the totem in the back waist became hidden, and without looking closely, one couldn’t even see that there was a totem here.
A strange feeling suddenly rose in Mu Sichen’s heart.
He ignored this feeling and walked into the mists.
This time he was not ostracized.
Through the golden glasses, Mu Sichen saw a road; he ran a few steps along this road, and a building appeared in front of him, which was the “Upper String Library.”
At the same time, the system’s voice rang in Mu Sichen’s ears.
[Newbie Task 4: Reclaim the pillar occupied by the One-Pupil Moon and expel the One-Pupil Moon from Hope Town].
[Newbie Mission 5: Establish the first complete Hope Town.]
As expected, it was the follow-up mission that awaited him. Sooner or later, he would have to take back this last pillar.
Mu Sichen took a deep breath, pushed his glasses with 9 minutes left in the time limit, and steadily walked into the library.
The library was large, but it was empty, very different from the pillars Mu Sichen knew.
In this library, there were only rows and rows of bookshelves and countless books.
Not to mention the followers, dependents, and townspeople, even He Fei, was nowhere to be found.
Well, crud. Where is he?
Thank you for the chapter!
