Chapter 1 The Red Moon is Coming, Global Gamification!
[Iris scan completed, Huaxiu citizen Xu Mu, basic information is as follows——]
[Identity card: TGB4026****]
【Gender: Male】
Age: 18
[Address: Dolphin Bay Container No. 23, 3rd Floor]
【Employment status: Unemployed】
【Education: Graduate of Haibin University】
【Record: No criminal record】
[Congratulations, you have activated the access rights to the 'Dimensional Realm'. If you need to enter, please go to the 'Dolphin Bay Container House Area' starting point again after 00:00 that night. ]
[Reminder: The remaining time until the next red moon opens is 3 days: 17 hours: 03 minutes: 06 seconds]
Accompanied by a slight tingling sensation, Xu Mu withdrew his hand from an instrument that was shaped like a stone pillar but equipped with modern high-tech and sophisticated equipment.
There was an obscure dark red pattern on the back of his hand.
If you gaze closely, you will see that the lines on the circular pattern look like blood pouring and flowing slowly, which is very realistic.
"Is this done? The efficiency is quite high." Xu Mu thought to himself and looked at the tattoo on the back of his hand again and again.
In fact, Xu Mu is not a native resident of the Sky Blue Planet.
He is just an ordinary time traveler from another parallel planet in the universe - Earth.
Coming into this world was just yesterday. The original host died of a disease in his own dark and small container.
To put it nicely, it's a container.
To put it bluntly, it's a slum.
This is a unique and picturesque landscape in Dolphin City, where all the poor people gather at this abandoned dock.
The residence is naturally those red, blue and yellow containers.
In the original host's memory, this was not the case a few years ago.
But after that incident, the world changed drastically.
That incident refers to the Red Moon incident that occurred on Sky Blue Star five years ago.
One night, the bright moonlight that should have risen as usual suddenly turned red.
The surface of the Sky Blue Star is shrouded in an eerie and quiet red light.
Looking up, the moon was as red as blood, painting the entire sky red.
It almost makes people think that the end of the world is coming.
But soon, the red moon disappeared.
After the Red Moon ended, varying numbers of red portals appeared around the world.
As long as you step in, you can enter a different dimension.
Human scientists are unable to explain this strange phenomenon.
But after the first group of brave people broke in, they discovered a whole new world inside where they could freely choose from numerous copies.
And as long as you pass the experience of the built-in copy, you can get corresponding rewards.
Strength, lifespan, physique, and energy will all be greatly enhanced.
Things that previously only existed in fictional imaginations, such as stopping a truck with one hand, resisting swords and guns, and climbing walls, have all actually happened.
Some humans who are lucky enough can even bring out some powerful props and weapons from the dungeon.
In an instant, the world changed drastically and social classes were reshuffled.
The better a person gets in the dungeon, the higher his status will be in real society.
Various private mercenaries began to rise.
Governments around the world also quickly began to pay close attention and soon realized that these physically enhanced humans might be the focus of future world battlefields.
At a time when nuclear weapons are explicitly prohibited, it would be great if we could have a team of "enhanced" super-dimensional warriors.
Among them, everyone is as capable as in spy movies, able to climb walls and run on rooftops, and invulnerable to weapons. I'm afraid they will become an unprecedented military force.
Therefore, under the multiple incentive policies of countries around the world.
The dimensional space has become a testbed for every adult to pursue their ultimate goals.
At the same time, this is also a lawless place where the strong prey on the weak.
As a time traveler, Xu Mu did not have the legendary system.
However, he unexpectedly discovered his own skill.
Strategy!
After a whole day of looking up information, Xu Mu discovered a shocking fact.
These so-called "Red Moon copies"
They are all made up of games from all over the world!
Whether it is as small as the arcade games "Contra", "Mario" and "Journey to the West" from the 1980s and 1990s.
Or large-scale games such as "Minecraft", "Resident Evil", "Breath of the Wild", "Assassin's Creed", "Fallout" and so on.
These games have never existed on the Blue Sky Planet!
This means that the original inhabitants of Sky Blue Star do not know the game's clearance process, various treasures, hidden tasks, hidden props and other series of strategies.
As a heavy game geek and hardcore player, Xu Mu has played almost all the popular works on the market. He also has obsessive-compulsive disorder, which makes him play through a game over and over again to achieve a perfect ending or collect all the achievements.
This obsessive-compulsive disorder had caused Xu Mu a lot of trouble in the past. In order to achieve an insignificant or even useless achievement, he might have to spend 100 hours or even more, while others had already started enjoying the next game.
But now, all these bitter experiences have become the most precious treasures!
Guide to humanoid self-propelled game!
"If the general direction of these copies has not changed too much..." Xu Mu took a deep breath, and then a golden light flashed in his eyes.
If the game content in the 'Red Moon Copy' is not too different from that on Earth.
Then in time, Xu Mu is sure that he will become the god in the copy!
"Gurgle~" The sudden growling sound of his stomach temporarily made Xu Mu put aside his thoughts on personal heroism.
After searching his pockets, he made an embarrassing discovery.
All he had left were a few coins.
"Let's buy some compressed biscuits to fill our stomachs first." Even a hero has to bow down for a few pieces of silver, and Xu Mu could not help but sigh.
Wrapped in the night, Xu Mu jumped down from the container on the second floor.
After stretching his wrist, he raised his head and looked towards the right side of the road.
Tall, brand-new street lamps stand tall, illuminating the magnificent scenery across the river.
Across the street is the Yuewan District of Dolphin City, which is a wealthy street.
Across the street, the building on the right is magnificent and brightly lit, and the passers-by are also dressed in bright and beautiful clothes.
The container area on the right was still lit with kerosene lamps even in such an advanced era, and many people were dressed in rags.
This overly sharp contrast makes people feel a little dazed for a moment.
According to the original host's memory, many people in the container house area were actually wealthy a few years ago, but were eliminated by social rules because they were not adapted to the Red Moon copy.
This is a society that is truly built with bare hands! Everyone has the opportunity to soar in the dungeon!
I bought some compressed biscuits and a bottle of water at a container store near the roadside, spending my last penny.
He carried the bag home, ate something with water, and took out his cell phone to look up some information about the 'Dimensional Realm'.
The copy situations that Xu Mu has learned about so far all come from the memories of the original host.
But the original host had never entered the copy, and a lot of the information was just hearsay.
Log in to the world's largest 'Red Moon Forum', where you can find everything about the dungeon.
Entering the Huaxiuguo forum, the messages in the posts scrolled at the same speed as the barrage in the popular live broadcast room.
And new news is constantly being updated.
[Breaking news! Breaking news! A new guide to the Fall Guys dungeon is out! The dungeon difficulty is rated D. If you want to break the speedrun record and get the reward, just tap my ID and send me a private message with your price! ]
[Located in the Old Lake District, an 18-year-old female who has just reached adulthood, looking for a long-term dungeon partner , who can meet in real life and have sex once a week. If you are interested, please chat privately! ]
[Virtual weapons for sale: Applicable to the "Musketeer" copy, a 90% new 45 caliber pistol, for female personal use. Price: 10 Red Moon Coins! ]
Musketeer?
Xu Mu had never heard of this game. Perhaps it was some unknown game on Earth in his previous life, or maybe a game from another world had mixed in. In any case, the rating of the copy was only F.
I clicked on the post details with great interest and saw that quite a few players were replying.
"Gun? For girls to use for themselves? I won't be sleepy anymore if you mention that!"
"If you don't understand, then ask, is this gun the OP is talking about black and hard?"
"You dare to sell a broken pistol from an F-rank dungeon for 10 Red Moon coins? You really want to cheat people by pretending to be a girl, right? Is the money enough for you to buy a coffin yourself?"
"It's not shameful to make money."
After a quick look around, I saw that most of the players were cursing.
This gave Xu Mu a preliminary understanding of the currency and prices in the copy.
The unique blood-red coin is called the Red Moon Coin. It is a special output in the game copy and can be brought into reality.
The exchange rate between Red Moon Coin and real-world currency is not constant, but there will be some fluctuations.
It depends on the amount produced by the copy and the amount consumed by the players.
The current ratio is: 1 Red Moon Coin ≈ 100 real currency
The output of ordinary weapons in F-level copies is worth about 3 to 5 Red Moon Coins.
Converted into cash, it is about three to five hundred yuan.
It’s really not a small amount.
It is no wonder that so many people flock to this crisis-ridden dungeon.
As long as you produce something solid once, it will probably be enough for you to live a carefree life for the next few years.
It is the carnival sanctuary for gamblers.
Just then, a purchase post caught Xu Mu's attention.
[Wanted to buy: A D+ level copy of the "Three Kingdoms War Chronicles" item "Zhang Ling Sword", 20 Red Moon Coins, if any big guy has it, please drop me a line, unlimited. ]
Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms?
If I remember correctly, it was one of the star arcade games that was popular in the streets across the country around the millennium.
The item 'Zhang Ling Sword' is similar to a one-time skill, which will launch unlimited flying sword attacks on enemies that appear on the screen.
The more combos you have, the higher the damage.
In the arcades of the past, if you saw a few kids frantically tapping the keys, they were most likely using the "Zhang Ling Sword".
Xu Mu quickly clicked on the post details.
There are several replies below.
"Although 20 Red Moon Coins are a lot, this thing is still scarce. I remember that I only had one in the entire dungeon. Most of them are kept for my own use. They are a powerful weapon for beating bosses and can directly reduce 1/3 of the boss's health."
"And if you encounter some bosses with low magic defense, it seems that you can reduce their health by half! It's probably not easy for you to collect this kind of settlement reward artifact."
"Hey, I want to try this, too. I'm stuck at the boss Lu Meng recently and can't get past him. The Red Moon is about to spawn, and I won't have any save files left. It's really frustrating."
Only one pass?
Xu Mu smiled immediately.
If he remembered correctly, not to mention the modified version of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there were as many as three Zhang Ling swords in the orthodox Three Kingdoms!
Selling for 20 each, that's equivalent to 2,000 cash.
If all three are sold, you can make a direct profit of 6,000 yuan!
This was quite attractive to Xu Mu, who was impoverished in the early days.
"It seems that for the first dungeon experience, I can choose "Romance of the Three Kingdoms." Xu Mu thought to himself.
