Game Loading (Part 1)

Chapter 14

Central World

Once Xie Xi opened his eyes again, the sight in front of him made him somewhat unresponsive.

He stood in a very bright place. He looked up and saw a dazzling white light. He couldn't see the sun or the edges of this place. There was a glossy mirrored floor that clearly reflected his whole body.

He wore his own clothes, which were a simple white t-shirt, jeans and sneakers. The only difference was that these old clothes had become fresh and clean. Even the stains that couldn't be washed off on the sneakers were gone.

Xie Xi looked around. His eyes widened as noisy sounds finally entered his ears. It felt as if he had just come up from the quiet bottom of the ocean and finally heard the sounds of shore.

Where was this place? The game was over but he still couldn't go home? Or had he started a new game again?

"Hey, did you just return from a quasi-world?" Xie Xi turned to look at the person.

The one who had just spoken was a young man in his early 20s. He was tall but very thin. His blond hair was especially dazzling, his eyes were big and round and there was a curved mouth under his high nose. He looked very refreshing and sociable.

Xie Xi didn't know him.

The blond youth saw his face and froze. "So beautiful!"

Xie Xi, "..." He silently took a step back.

He just came out of that damn game and had a psychological shadow towards these type of words.

The blond youth saw his vigilance and smiled. "Don't panic, I'm straight." He scratched his head and sincerely praised, "You look really good. You are a natural beauty..." Perhaps he became aware that the word 'beauty' was too feminine and he hurriedly changed it. "I mean, very handsome!"

Xie Xi could only give a polite and awkward smile.

The blond youth was a very friendly type of person and he introduced himself. "My name is Zhong Jin. I am a junior explorer. You can call me Ah Jin!"

The name Zhong Jin was a good match to his hair colour.

Xie Xi opened his mouth. "Hello." He didn't introduce himself.

The current situation was very confusing and he couldn't rashly introduce himself to strangers. It might be impolite but it was better than placing himself in danger.

Zhong Jin wasn't annoyed and realized something. "You are a newcomer!"

Xie Xi nodded.

Zhong Jin scratched his head. "I am also a newcomer although I've probably encountered more worlds than you..." He told Xie Xi, "Come here, I will introduce things to you!"

Xie Xi's head was covered in fog and he really wanted to know more about this place.

Zhong Jin led Xie Xi forward and along the way, Xie Xi was dazzled.

The landscape here wasn't complicated but there was a lot of people. Most of the pedestrians coming and going were wearing silver-white uniforms like Zhong Jin. A few were dressed casually and their had a confused demeanor.

Presumably these people were newcomers like Xie Xi.

After walking for seven or eight minutes, Zhong Jin arrived at a blue semi-circular building.

"This is the hall." Zhong Jin explained. "It is the place that newcomers must know!"

Zhong Jin took him into the hall without waiting for Xie Xi to ask questions. It was much more spacious than it looked on the outside. The design was simple, or it should be said that there was no display other than a giant water curtain.
