Chapter 3, the launch of the Intelligent New User Guide

Is the normal mode activated? In other words, does the simple mode still require the completion of the main quest to unlock the normal mode? However, is there only a reward without any punishment?

Fang Yu made up her mind, gritted her teeth, and while her hands were still able to move, she pushed with all her strength

I looked at the footprints leading into the staircase, then glanced at the elevator beside it

This kind of murder scene, which only appears in films and television dramas, made Fang Yu feel somewhat hesitant yet also a bit excited

There were no imagined soldiers rushing out, brandishing AKs, shouting "Lay down your arms"

Everything is in silence

Fang Yu forced herself to muster her spirits, directing her focus towards contemplation

Shelter ( X )

Fang Yu was also amused by her own sudden burst of inspiration.

Accompanied by the sound of something falling to the ground, the office door slowly opened

Moreover, a crowd of well-dressed office workers rushed out of the elevator lobby, packed together like sardines in a can

However, no matter how curious Fang Yu was, the priority was to complete the beginner's guide first

Were you perhaps a screw in your past life

For some inexplicable reason, Fang Yu realized that this should be the novice guidance phase

This sneeze made Fang Yu realize that this environment was not the time to continue researching the panel. Since the guidance was already in place, at this moment, she needed to follow it first, ensuring her own survival before anything else.

Fang Yu, trembling slightly, first arrived at the elevator and pressed the down button

The chill on his body has become increasingly intense, and the surface of his skin has started to turn slightly red.

Following the footprints, Fang Yu arrived at an area resembling a leadership office on the 16th floor

Without hesitation, he directly wiped his nose with his sleeve, but what he did not expect was that his face had already turned as thin as parchment from the cold

It is uncertain whether it is a blessing or a misfortune

Main Quest: Prepare a month's worth of survival supplies before the cold wave arrives, successfully find a suitable shelter, and survive

In fact, as she approached the office, Fang Yu had already gathered all her spirits

Aqiu!

The entire building has a spacious interior, and the external space is very open

These footprints appeared out of nowhere, orderly leading from under the table in front of Fang Yu to the outside

Or it can be said that Fang Yu is rarely seen

Just as Fang Yu was pondering what the so-called primary personality mask was and what the blank represented, a row of transparent footprints suddenly appeared before him

However, strangely, Fang Yu, who originally entered the elevator, has disappeared without a trace

However, in the blink of an eye, Fang Yu roughly understood why there was no punishment

Peering through the crack of the door, there was no response from within, and listening closely, there was also no sound coming from inside

Thus, he followed the elevator, stopping and going along the way, until he arrived at 16L

16L

However, such a wayward thought suddenly calmed Fang Yu down, and even her body seemed to feel...

And just at the stairwell beside the elevator, a person stealthily peeked out from the corner of the wall

Fang Yu believes that such a building should exist in Daming, but she has not seen it yet.

Clearly located on the 36th floor, there is still a lounge area here, along with a café and a cake shop

Because he discovered that the footprints originally leading to the stairwell had unexpectedly changed direction and were now stealthily pointing towards the elevator

Clearly, this serves as a guide for completing the task. All that is needed is for the cross behind the supplies and shelter to be changed to a checkmark, and that will signify the completion of the main quest

Instead, like a mischievous little boy, after lighting up all the buttons between the 36th and 16th floors, he quickly withdrew and entered the stairwell

Completion Reward: Normal Mode Unlocked, Level 1 Persona Mask (Blank) x 1

This is Fang Yu's first feeling after stepping out of the office

This layout is generally considered rare in the Ming Dynasty.

The fat and blood within the body have long been burning vigorously to resist these low temperatures, releasing heat.

Following the footprints, Fang Yu arrived at the stairwell

Fang Yu walked out of the door and quickly slipped into the elevator lobby

He is now so frozen that even his walking has become somewhat deformed

Yes, it is similar to a taskbar in a game, with a scroll icon in the upper left corner

Once a disaster occurs, elevators are never as reliable as stairs

Material ( X )

Do not think that you are invisible; I have noticed that you have changed your route

The footprints were seen leading directly to the exit of the office

Therefore, even though Fang Yu knew that the elevator was useful, he did not enter this iron coffin

As a devoted player of survival single-player games, Fang Yu had long learned a truth from various games and films.

The sound of the elevator door opening alert rang out, and the elevator doors slowly opened

In Fang Yu's impression, during the Ming Dynasty, office buildings, apart from having a lounge area and cafes on the first floor, would generally be divided into various office areas on the upper floors

There were no elevator malfunctions, nor any unexpected delays; the elevator smoothly reached the 36th floor

Fang Yu braced herself, first moving her body slightly in place. After feeling the rustiness dissipate, she then stepped outside and walked forward.

Since waking up, apart from two uncontrollable sneezes and the sound of the elevator starting, Fang Yu has been moving quietly the entire time, in order to prevent her voice from attracting any unwelcome guests

Ding!

Empty, cold, and silent

With such a rub, Fang Yu almost thought her nose was going to be rubbed off

Establish a rest area on each floor

As she approached the office, Fang Yu could see the gradually increasing dark red bloodstains on the ground

At this moment, Fang Yu had already quietly retreated back into the office building, shrinking her head and peering through the crack behind the door towards the direction of the elevator

After all, this is a world of apocalyptic crisis

The shadowy figure is none other than Fang Yu

There was also no large group of terrifying-looking zombies rushing out of the elevator in a frenzy

Afterwards, the taskbar gradually faded away, disappearing into the lower right corner of the view. However, as soon as Fang Yu focused her thoughts, the taskbar would reappear, and an additional line of text would appear below it

The completion reward also invigorated Fang Yu's spirit

However, Fang Yu, who noticed a certain detail, suddenly felt a moment of speechlessness

Fang Yu hurriedly resumed her observation of the pale blue screen

The closed elevator quietly remained on the 16th floor, while the lobby outside the elevator was still empty, devoid of any trace of human presence

If it weren't for my own cleverness in trying the elevator, were you really planning to make me walk all the way to the 16th floor

He did not take the elevator

After playing games for so long, this is the first time he has seen a beginner's guide; does he really still need a beginner's guide

A crisp sound of a button being pressed echoed, and then Fang Yu watched as the display on the elevator slowly ascended from 12.

Ding dong

Fang Yu almost blurted out a retort, but fearing that her voice might cause unnecessary trouble, she swallowed it back down

However, behind this heartwarming gesture, what was returned was Fang Yu's disdainful glance

As expected, after discovering that her will could control the screen switch, Fang Yu found that a taskbar suddenly popped up in front of her after turning off the light blue screen

However, no matter how Fang Yu questioned or recalled in his mind, there was no task sprite or system that could provide him with a response

This beginner's guide warmly displays a cursor above the 16th floor

I do not know what will happen if you die in this game

If one is tasked with preparing supplies and a shelter for oneself, it is evident that failing to do so would certainly lead to dire consequences, rendering punishment unnecessary

The sound of clapping or applause

The elevator doors opened for a while and then closed again under the operation of the system

Subsequently, he determined whether there were any humans or other potential creatures attracted from outside by assessing the elevator's stops at each floor, which influenced his decision on whether to continue descending.

Still thinking about the rat race in this virtual game world

Fang Yu suddenly thought of this question

However, Guang Fangyu felt that this bit of warmth was also carried away by the subtle, cool air currents beneath the table

This office building can be considered quite a prestigious structure

Isn't the person who created this beginner's guide likely someone who planned it with their feet?

Clatter! Bang!

Various games and films informed Fang Yu that upon arriving in an unfamiliar place, she was initially quite boisterous, but ultimately became rather confused

Throughout this journey, Fang Yu did not encounter any other living beings

After the elevator's door opening alert sounded, the elevator doors slowly opened

The doorknob turned smoothly, and there was no lock. However, after Fang Yu pushed it slightly, she found that the door got stuck after opening a crack

This signifies that the fewer the people, the greater the matter

Now is not the time for wild thoughts, hurry! Use your brain, which is almost frozen and withering, to think carefully about what to do next

In the end, Fang Yu could no longer suppress her inner feelings and reached out to turn the doorknob of the office.

Fang Yu, after repeatedly confirming that there was no one else outside, finally emerged from the corner with trembling steps, following the footprints that only he could see, and walked in a certain direction

If this is a game, it should be in easy mode; it shouldn't be so difficult right from the start! Is there no tutorial for beginners?

Fang Yu patted her own face

Fang Yu sneezed again, and a streak of transparent white mucus fell directly, splattering onto his shirt, instantly turning white and solidifying

Fang Yu crawled out from under the table, trembling as she looked at the direction of the footprints.

From the very beginning, right up to the final pool of blood seeping out from beneath the office door

In fact, after Fang Yu entered the elevator upstairs, despite the certainty of the footprints, Fang Yu still did not take the elevator down

The elevator doors opened quietly, revealing an empty interior

Is this also acceptable

It is getting colder...
