Cheng An opened the webpage on his mobile phone and wanted to search for the latest information about the dream world, but there was no useful information. It was all information that he had searched before.
On some public forums, although there are still people who stay up late at night posting posts, there is no new content. Perhaps these people don't even know that the new round of Star Gate has ended.
After just using the phone for a short time, the battery power dropped sharply from 10% to 5%. Cheng An was so frightened that he quickly locked the screen and did not dare to open it again.
"I wonder how other people are doing. Will someone die again?"
"There will definitely be changes, and it won't be good news."
Cheng An was worried and wanted to go back to the dormitory and log into the Masonic forum to see the situation.
It's past one o'clock in the morning. If you are in the city, the lights are brightly lit and the streets are full of traffic.
Unfortunately, this is the countryside, and the buses have stopped long ago, so even if you want to take a taxi, you can't stop them.
In desperation, Cheng An started walking along the rural road.
The night wind blew, and the silence was dim. Only some insects and birds that refused to surrender to the autumn mood were here to accompany this lonely traveler.
After walking non-stop for ten kilometers, we finally entered the road section of the market town. The street lights were bright and there were cars parked on both sides of the road.
Most of the shops on the street have long been closed, but there are still a few signboards with lights on, stubbornly confronting the bleak popularity.
There are baths, massages, milk tea, etc.
And Cheng An immediately fell in love with the sign across the road, which was obviously very old and the neon lights of the two words in the middle were dimmed:
Xingxin Internet Cafe.
…
"Pap! Pap!"
The small Internet cafe was already deserted, and it was midnight, so not many people were surfing the Internet at the moment.
Under the dim light, you can see that there are less than ten machines running in the Internet cafe, and the sound of typing on the keyboard can be heard one after another.
The messy smell in the air is a bit strong, but it's still bearable.
The network administrator at the front desk is a young girl with dyed yellow hair. She is quite beautiful. She is currently huddled in a leather chair, holding a cup of milk tea and concentrating on watching the show.
"Network administrator, turn on your computer." Cheng An said.
"Five dollars an hour."
The network management girl raised her head and glanced at the visitor. She lowered her head and was stunned for a moment. Then she slowly raised her head and asked with bright eyes: "Brother, do you want to stay overnight?"
"How much is the night package?"
"five hundred!"
"A night stay is so expensive?" Cheng An looked surprised, "It's five yuan an hour. How can a night stay cost 500?"
The network management girl hurriedly changed her words: "Thirty for the night, just thirty."
"That's okay."
How could Cheng An not understand the other party's hint, but he didn't want to be disturbed later, he just wanted to go to the forum quietly.
The night package only costs 30 yuan, which is okay, not expensive... Um, wait a minute, do I still have money?
Yesterday, the last remaining consciousness of this predecessor suddenly went crazy, as if he gave all the money he had to his sister!
Cheng An suddenly realized this serious problem and hurriedly looked for it in his pocket.
Fortunately, there were a few crumpled pieces of change left.
Two twenty-dollar bills, four ten-dollar bills, and two five-dollar bills, leaving a total of ninety yuan.
Well, it's already early two o'clock now, and the bus leaves at six o'clock in the morning, so it's not cost-effective to book the night...
Cheng An convinced himself, took out his ID card and put it on the bar. He smiled awkwardly but politely: "I'll just play for a few hours and then leave. I won't keep the night."
"Okay, the deposit is fifty, and you can get it back if it's not used up."
Seeing that there was no chance for him to eat young grass, the webmaster girl took the money and quickly put him on the computer, and continued to watch the drama on her own.
Cheng An found a spot in the corner and sat down, turned on the computer, and pretended to browse the web casually.
After a few minutes, after confirming that no one noticed me, I finally started searching.
"There are few people who come and go, but I am the only one who is close to the road."
After waiting for a few seconds, the computer gave a blue screen of death and then restarted.
"Welcome to the exclusive forum of Freemasonry!"
The familiar welcome words and the iconic three 'basic rules' came into view again.
Upon seeing this, Cheng An breathed a sigh of relief, manipulated the coordinates, and made the golden virtual triangular pyramid slowly appear in front of his eyes, aiming it at the computer screen.
Verification successful!
The screen turned and entered the forum interface.
However, the strange thing is that there is no movement at all in the forum today.
The above content actually still stayed at the moment before he entered the star gate.
Even the first article on the homepage is actually the chat room 'The long-lost ten supreme seats are back! The chief comes out to say that the real world will usher in a big storm'.
When I clicked in and took a look, the record was still full of "goodbye" farewell words all over the screen. The date was 11:50 a.m. on September 10th.
what happened?
Could it be that except for me, all other universal walks have not returned yet?
Or are they all dead?
Just when Cheng An was feeling very confused, the screen suddenly shook.
Then, several dialog boxes pop up:
"Detection login completed!
"Your authority is [Founder]!
"The number of star gates has been changed. Your number of completed star gates is: [1 time]!
"The forum lock has ended, please choose whether to open the forum now"
"whether"
Ah, this... Cheng An was surprised.
Looking at this posture, it seems that there is some built-in program that has been re-bound to itself? The number of star gates has been reset to 1? Did the previous holder of this coordinate also experience this?
The permissions of this account are a bit incredible...
But for now, it seems to be a good thing for him.
Cheng An chose 'yes' without much hesitation.
Then there is another pop-up window: "Do you need to rename the forum? The current number of names available: 1"
Can it still be renamed?
Cheng An thought about it and realized that renaming it would have no other effect than exposing some smart people that he was not the original chief, so of course he nodded "no".
"The forum restarted successfully."
After confirmation, a circle of garbled characters was displayed on the screen again.
Immediately afterwards, you returned to the login interface.
"Welcome to the exclusive forum of Freemasonry!"
Cheng An logged in again unhurriedly.
At this time, there were already more than a dozen posts under the free discussion section of the forum.
This was only ten seconds.
"These guys are moving too fast."
Cheng An didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He clicked in and took a look. The first few items were indeed capital exclamation points.
"Why the hell did the forum restart? Come in and tell me what's going on!"
"Doesn't anyone think this dream is cool? In the past, I could only use it as a pendant and watch the whole show without a sense of participation. Now it's like playing a VR game!"
"This dream world is indeed the beginning of a great storm. Not only have I experienced the body of a transcendent, but the forum has also been restarted. I am looking forward to it!"
"Why can't the extraordinary power of the dream world bring us back to reality! Goddess of Life, I want to give my girlfriend a celebrity face!"
"Are you all extraordinary? Why is it that only my host is an ordinary person?"
And so on.
The rest are mostly the same, some are posts that marvel at the restart of the forum and feel that a big storm is coming;
Some commented that this time Stargate was a personal experience, which was very different from the previous "dreaming and watching first-person movies".
No one has opened the topic that Cheng An is interested in yet.
The only somewhat useful information I got was that "losing extraordinary power after traveling through dreams" is not a common phenomenon.
Of course, this is certainly not good news.
After a while, Cheng An was thinking about what tone to use to start a topic, to take the opportunity to guide and get some latest information, when a new headline came into view.
"Breaking news! Bai Yukyo Michiko is missing! There will be big waves in the Kowloon forces!"
