Chapter 1209: The Endless Journey

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Zhang Heng wasn’t sure if the newly acquired [Sturdy Backpack] was related to the little boy at the end of the dungeon.

Since he hadn’t decided what compensation he would get from the latter, the little boy gave him a rare storage-type item, a piece of cake for the latter.

Zhang Heng had also guessed the Little Boy’s identity. According to the old and new gods, the latter should belong to the new, and he was close to the game god in terms of ability. However, the little boy did not answer his question. He ignored his probing.

This time, Zhang Heng went back and took apart the PS4 Pro that he had won as a prize. He also bought a new one online for comparison. The result was almost the same. The only difference was that the ps4pro that the game organizing committee had given him had an extra game compared to the original.

—”Endless Journey”

Zhang Heng looked it up on Baidu and found quite a few games with this name online, but most of them were crude and ancient. On the contrary, Zhang Heng opened the “Endless Journey” on the game console; he found that the game’s graphics were quite good. It should have been built with the latest generation of engines, and it seemed to be quite generous in the CG department. It had basically reached a “death-stranded” level.

However, there was no signature from the game company. Moreover, it was hard to believe that such a heavyweight triple-A masterpiece had not been promoted in the early stages. It seemed that the creator had not considered the issue of distribution at all.

Zhang Heng enjoyed the opening CG and did not skip it. Unlike the stunning scene, “Endless Journey” was normal in terms of storyline, basically following the traditional RPG game’s hero slaying the dragon to save the world routine.

However, it was probably due to the target player group this time that the theme was changed to a Xianxia setting that was more acceptable to eastern players. The opening CG was about the birth of demons that wreaked havoc in the human world, the background story that caused the people of the mortal world to have a hard time living. After that, the camera turned to the main character, a disciple of the Immortal Palace, who was ordered to leave the mountain to gain experience.

After that, Zhang Heng realized that he could manipulate characters, talk to NPCs, accept quests, and level up by killing monsters.

Coincidentally, he was also waiting for the appraisal results of the four items in this dungeon. Before that, he had nothing to do, so he decided to stay in his dorm and play an endless journey.

The result was different from what Zhang Heng had imagined. This game was not as difficult as he had imagined. No matter how he looked at it, it was no different from a regular game. The experience and rewards from killing monsters were also quite generous; a bit like Diablo 3 in terms of gameplay.

However, the game flow was much longer than Diablo 3. Zhang Heng had played for two days. In addition to the time that he already had, he had accumulated more than forty hours of game time. He spawned a decent set of equipment, although still not managing to finish playing the game that was certainly worthy of its title, “Endless Journey.”.

Although the storyline was mediocre, the excellent graphics and smooth fighting ensured the quality of the game. This was an excellent game to most people, but as a player, Zhang Heng had personally experienced all kinds of dungeons, and any one of them couldn’t be compared to a console game through the screen. Thus it didn’t actually feel too amazing.

Two days later, the bartender sent him a message saying that all four items had been appraised. Zhang Heng put “Endless Journey” aside and drove to the bar to get his new equipment.

The first item that Zhang Heng received from the bartender was the strange iron wire.

[Pet Wire]

[Rarity: D]

[Function: what can it do? This depended on its mood. Basically, you needed to raise your pet iron wire like a pet, feed it iron regularly, take it out for a walk, and even… play music for it? Although no one knows how useful this is, as the relationship between you improves, you can communicate with it and have it do all sorts of things for you. PS: Don’t underestimate this wire; it can do more than you think].

After reading the introduction of [Pet Wire], Zhang Heng was stunned. Compared to the other items on him, this wire was far from powerful, but it was definitely the most magical item. As a wire, it was actually a small life form, and it had to be raised like a pet.

When Loki held it in his hand, it looked particularly lively, completely ignoring the fact that it was only a wire. However, the description of its function was relatively vague. Zhang Heng only knew that he could use this wire to unlock the lock, just like Loki. As for the other functions, it could only be cultivated.

Zhang Heng held the [Pet Wire] in his hand. He could feel that the latter wasn’t in a very good mood. It lowered its head and looked like it was in love with anyone. Zhang Heng guessed that it had been in the tule tree’s wooden box for too long and was a little bored, so he asked the bartender beside him, “Do you have any unwanted metal tools here?”

The bartender thought about it and took out an iron bucket with ice cubes. “It’s yours.”

Zhang Heng took the Iron Bucket. He did not know how to feed the [Pet Wire] in his hand, so he first threw the iron wire in and then looked at the next item.

[Name: Explorer’s lamp]

[Quality: C]

[Function: a kerosene lamp that will never go out. It is a piece of top-tier equipment that explorers yearn for. Not only can it provide you with a source of light, whether on land or underwater, but it can also control the temperature around you. By borrowing the brightness of the explorer’s lamp, you can adjust the ambient temperature within the range of the light.]

This was the kerosene lamp that Zhang Heng had found in Sauk’s hut. Compared to the somewhat baffling [Pet Wire], its function and positioning were apparent. Just like its description, this lamp was specially made for explorers.

The inextinguishable feature was not too bad. Nowadays, many flashlights could also approach this effect. The real power was the temperature adjustment function later on; in other words, even if you only wore a tank top and shorts, you could still try to challenge Mount Everest with this lamp. You could definitely carry the lamp with you.

However, there were pros and cons because it would never go out. The lamp could only be dimmed through the knob on the base, but it could not be completely switched off. In other words, the person carrying it would be very eye-catching; however, the [Sturdy Backpack] that Zhang Heng had just obtained could be put to good use. When not in use, he could just put the light into the [Sturdy Backpack].. Naturally, it could block the light and cause unnecessary trouble.
