The outside world is bustling with activity, but the people who are busy "patching up holes" are still unaware that Huangpu Xin is facing a life-and-death crisis at this moment. Because the last thing he saw before losing consciousness was...
"Do you crave power? Do you want to truly... live?"
"WTF?!"
When these words appeared in front of Huangpu Xin, he wanted to take a step back in shock, but found himself in an unknown space. It was pitch black all around, with only these words glowing in white in the darkness.
The people around also disappeared, leaving only "yes" and "no" as the options on the same plane as the question.
Looking into the boundless darkness, Huangpu Xin pondered, "Hmm... according to the routine, I should be in a situation where it feels like a thousand years inside but only a moment outside."
"If I don't choose, I'm afraid I won't be able to move on to the next step. I might be bounced out, or I might be trapped here forever..."
He sighed and selected "yes": "These people are so secretive. It turns out they are trying to obtain power from the Main God Space."
"Sigh, it's also my fault for not asking in time. I thought it was a post-apocalyptic genre, but I didn't expect it to be an infinite genre..."
Sure enough, as expected, the bright white question mark began to shine in the darkness, dyeing the space white.
Then a line of black words appeared in the white space: "Welcome to Realm of the Gods, this is a temporary space opened by main god in your inner world. As a qualified person, you need to complete a 'balance' task to enter the space. Please click agree."
"Wait, what is balance? Shouldn't the veterans take me to the instance now, and then say 'you are the worst newbies in terms of quality...'? Why is it different from the script?" Huangpu Xin couldn't help but ask.
I didn't expect that there would actually be reply in the air.
At the bottom of the typing, a few lines of small text appeared: "As a VIP user, you have 4 question asking rights. Regarding the 'balance' task, it is the channel for 'eligible' to choose strength as the 'player'. The system will select tasks for you based on your potential adaptability."
Simply put, your first task is a welfare task, and you only need to complete it to a very low extent to gain power. [1/4]"
Huangpu Xin saw the VIP and felt a stir in his heart, but he remained silent and nodded normally to indicate understanding.
"What special services does VIP offer? Can you introduce them to me?"
Sure enough, a few lines of text appeared: "Sorry, to ensure the fairness of the game, we only provide some additional choices for VIP users that do not disrupt the balance." [2/4]
Huangpu Xin ponders: Realm of the Gods mainly involves Reincarnation to gain power, so the 'extra choice' is either having an additional option during a mission, or being able to have an extra choice when going to the Reincarnation world...
"Is the VIP Reincarnation world different from the ordinary person's Reincarnation world?"
"Yes, but still following the principle of [balance] [3/4]."
"Um... how many VIP users are there?"
"This game is a large-scale game, with a total of 20 VIPs as hunters [4/4]. Please experience the specific situation in the game. Your questions have reached the limit, please start the mission as soon as possible."
"Um..."
Four questions answered the shallow doubts, but also raised new questions: "How could an ordinary college student like me become a VIP in this Realm of the Gods? Does the large-scale game refer to a global mutation or the Main God Space about to begin the mission? And what exactly is a hunter?"
It seems that to truly understand more, one must enter the Realm of the Gods...
Suppressing many thoughts, Huangpu Xin decisively agreed, and then decisively fainted.
When Huangpu Xin reopened his eyes, he found himself lying in a comfortable position on a beach chair, holding a book in his hand.
He straightened up and looked around. This was the rooftop of a skyscraper, with the setting sun directly overhead, signaling dusk.
The mission in sight:
Task type: Adaptive (VIP)
Location: Astonishing Universe
Task: To stay alive
Note: VIP clients have additional bonuses
"???"
Just landed and haven't even figured out where I am in the Marvel (Marvel) Universe, Huangpu Xin was suddenly confused.
"No, what does this mean, are they playing a trick on me with a beginner's task?"
"Who are you, and what do you mean by 'newcomer mission'?" Huangpu Xin froze, not knowing who or what was speaking inside his body.
"I'm not a 'thing,' I'm called Franklin, and... you've entered my body, even though there are quite a few people here..." the voice spoke again, as if understanding his thoughts and explaining.
"....Um, are you saying that I just appeared in your mind?" Huangpu Xin was stunned.
"Yes, what's your name, and do you have something to tell me?" Franklin was very curious about the consciousness in his mind that could partially control his body.
This awareness gave him a sense of closeness, and he wasn't worried about anything being able to invade his brain with his own strength.
"I'm Huangpu Xin, um, I come from a... wait, you said your name is Franklin?"
"Right," the voice said.
"May I be so bold as to ask if you are the son of Mr. Reed Richards and the Invisible Woman, Susan?" Huangpu Xin asked tentatively.
"Have you heard of me?" Franklin asked curiously.
Huangpu Xin recalled from Baidu Baike: "Heard of you? More than that, anyone familiar with the universe in our area has heard of you - time traveler, Omega-level mutant, eternal creator..."
"Oh? Am I really that famous? Then... can you tell me why you're here?" Franklin became even more curious.
"Oh, I forgot to mention, I come from outside the multiverse, and the 'newcomer mission' is a requirement from the organization I joined. Because this mission is so absurd, I feel like someone is targeting me..." Huangpu Xin said half seriously and half jokingly.
"Um... so what's your mission?" Franklin was very interested in this "mission."
"To survive," Huangpu Xin said with a serious tone.
"..." Upon hearing the task, Franklin fell silent. He did not want to suppress this interesting consciousness. What force on Earth could surpass him and erase the consciousness in his mind?
Huangpu Xin also felt that something was wrong, because although Franklin was not at the top of the Marvel Universe, he was the god who could ultimately reboot the multiverse in major events.
In this situation, there are only two possibilities for surviving under Franklin's friendly stance: 1. Franklin wants to kill him.
But from the sound of it, Franklin is only curious and does not want to kill him.
So, there is only one possibility...
"Someone will kill you/me!" they both said at the same time.
