, City of the Moon

The Plum Blossom boy waved his hand gently, and a 10-meter-long LCD screen appeared in the middle of the venue. Introductions to the two main cities began to play on the screen. If Plum Blossom 4 is a college entrance examination, then the video being played now is very similar to "

"College Admissions Promotional Video".

Sun City is located on the seaside, an island surrounded by sea.

Under the sunlight, the city seems to be covered with a soft golden veil. The white and delicate sandy beaches and the crystal clear blue water show no trace of pollution.

There is not a trace of rubbish on the beach. In the video, many people are wearing swimsuits and walking barefoot on the beach. Some people are lying on deck chairs and reading books while basking in the sun. There are also people playing various interesting projects on the sea, such as

Parachuting, surfing, sea yachting, etc.

Everyone had sunny smiles on their faces. If he hadn't been in the card world, Xiao Lou would have mistakenly thought that this beautiful coastal city was a holiday paradise for people.

The more Yu Hanjiang looked at it, the weirder it became.

The warm and beautiful pictures on the screen are completely opposite to the cruelty and harshness of the secret room.

It's like...two completely unrelated worlds.

Xiao Lou also felt this way, and he couldn't help but ask, "Don't the challengers of Sun City need to continue to pass the level?"

The plum blossom boy said calmly, "The aborigines do not need to break through the barrier. They have their own lives, but you challengers must break through the barrier regularly. Of course, if you like it, you can also integrate into this world, find a job here, and even get married and have children."

He looked back at the screen. At this time, the video happened to play to a beautiful coastline. There was a road in Sun City called "Sunshine Avenue". The wide asphalt road was lined with palm trees on both sides, and the umbrella-shaped leaves were hanging down on the ground.

Create a large area of ​​shade.

The emerald green trees, clear sea, blue sky and white clouds interact with each other. Take a screenshot and you can directly use it as a 5a scenic spot on your computer desktop.

The plum-blossom boy continued, "As a coastal city, Sun City has the most beautiful sea view in the card world, the best and cheapest seafood, and Sunshine Avenue is a good place for citizens to take a walk. Prices in this city are moderate, and sea-view rooms are also quite cheap.

, with only 50 million gold coins, you can buy a well-decorated villa with sea view."

According to the exchange rate between gold coins and RMB 1,001, 50 million gold coins are equivalent to 500,000 RMB.

Want to buy a sea view villa in the real world with 500,000 yuan? This is simply a fantasy!

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other. They were not happy because the prices in Suncity were cheap. Instead, they were even more worried. Their speculation was correct. After entering the main city, many challengers might gradually integrate into this world.

Discover the beauty of this world, and then shake your determination to go back.

Just imagine, a person who can't even afford a 50-square-meter rough house in the real world can earn some gold coins through secret rooms in the card world and directly buy a decorated sea-view villa... He will still firmly want to go back.

Live in your own shabby rental house?

Although the temptation of material things is the most vulgar method, many people often cannot resist it.

Yu Hanjiang frowned and asked, "What is the situation in Moon City?"

The plum-blossom boy waved his finger lightly, and the picture on the screen immediately turned into another promotional video.

If Sun City is the most beautiful coastal city, then Moon City is the most beautiful garden city - the entire city is located deep in the forest, and there are tall trees everywhere around the city.

The illusion of "tropical rainforest".

The big trees on both sides of the street can grow directly onto the balconies of residents' homes, and when you open the window, you can see the green canopy.

Those exotic flowers and plants grow extremely luxuriantly, and every step in the city is almost a scene.

The architectural style of the city is also completely opposite to the high-rise buildings and sea-view villas in Sun City. There are more primitive wooden houses here. The jungle wooden houses have different shapes, which is very interesting. Some wooden houses are built directly on the big trees.

You can climb up the steps made of tree trunks. Three-story wooden villas are scattered in every corner of Moon City. The entire city is like a paradise for leisure and retirement.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of Sun City, Moon City seems particularly quiet.

Under the hazy moonlight, the Moon City, located deep in the forest, exudes a sense of mystery. People can live a life in close contact with nature here. Since the green plant coverage rate is as high as 70%, the air here is definitely the freshest.

Pleasant.

The plum blossom boy said, "The prices in Moon City are similar to those in Sun City. You can also buy wooden villas for the same price. Eating seafood here will be very expensive, but there are a lot of delicacies and game, including mushrooms."

There are more than a dozen kinds, and all kinds of barbecue are also quite cheap.”

With a paralyzed face, the young man dutifully introduced the two cities to everyone.

Xiao Lou was keenly aware of a certain detail in the promotional video and said, "In the promotional video of Moon City, the entire city is always at night, illuminated by the moonlight... Is this a coincidence, or does it mean that there is no daytime in Moon City?"

Liu Qiao didn't realize this. When he heard Professor Xiao ask this, he immediately realized - the video of Sun City is indeed a sunny day, while Moon City is always a night shrouded in moonlight.

The plum blossom boy said lightly, "Both cities are calculated on a 24-hour day. Sun City has 18 hours of daytime and 6 hours of night; Moon City has 18 hours of night and 6 hours of daytime. The work on both sides

The time is from 9 am to 12 am and from 1 pm to 4 pm."

Liu Qiao opened his eyes wide in surprise, "You only need to work 6 hours a day?"

The plum blossom boy said, "Yes, most of people's time should be spent on rest and entertainment. Don't you work 6 hours a day?"

The four of them fell silent at the same time.

In the real world, let alone working 6 hours a day, 8 hours is the most basic. Overtime work is the norm in many IT industries. It is often 22:00 when I get home from get off work, and I am so tired that I fall asleep.

Getting off work at 4 p.m.? No one can even think about it.

500,000 to buy a renovated villa, work 6 hours a day, and spend most of the time entertaining...

Such a life is simply like a dream.

Liu Qiao suddenly said, "How come these two cities look like ideal cities in fairy tales?"

The plum blossom boy glanced at her and nodded, "The City of the Sun and the City of the Moon are indeed ideal cities for human life."

The room fell silent again.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang suffered a huge psychological impact. They had always thought that the card world was cruel and full of crises. However, the main city of the card world was built into an "ideal country" that is difficult for human society to achieve.

Here they can buy a villa at a very low price, eat all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and enjoy the best living environment, the fresh air of the Moon City, the greenery as far as the eye can see, or the bright sunshine and beauty of the Sun City.

The beach…

After staying in a place like this for a long time, who would want to go back?

Xiao Lou clenched his fist tightly. He finally understood what the biggest pitfall in the card world was.

The pits that the big and small kings laid for the challengers were quiet. The two main cities were like a gentle quagmire. Once people fell into it, they could never get out.

Use the best material conditions to corrode people's hearts and make challengers lose the motivation to go back and settle in the card world.

When challengers integrate into this world, they will gradually forget that their previous lives were much worse than here, forget their relatives and friends in reality, make new relatives and friends here, and start a new life.

Of the nearly 80 million challengers who passed the first four levels, no one passed.

It’s incredible!

Xiao Lou turned back to look at Yu Hanjiang, who nodded to him. It was obvious that both of them had thought of the same thing.

Yu Hanjiang simply said, "Let's go to Moon City."

The plum blossom boy said, "Where are contestants No. 3 and No. 4? Please choose."

Of course Liu Qiao also chose the City of the Moon, but the masked man smiled slightly and said, "I like to eat seafood, so I choose the City of the Sun."

The plum-blossom boy opened two doors in the venue, one was golden, representing the City of Sun; the other was silver, representing the City of Moon. He made an invitation gesture: "Four of you, please, remember to check the card package after entering."

."

Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang and Liu Qiao walked into the silver door.

He thought he would be teleported directly to the Moon City, but the three of them walked into a large airport. Xiao Lou was stunned, and immediately checked the card package according to the plum blossom boy's prompts, and found that there was an extra card ticket inside, Plum Blossom 4 End Point

City of the Moon.

This was the ticket given to them by the plum blossom boy. The three of them looked at each other and found that there were people coming and going in the airport, and there were many challengers with blank expressions like them. Yu Hanjiang glanced at the airport and saw the check-in area.

The three of them walked over together.

The airport staff quickly helped them complete the procedures, and the three of them boarded the plane together.

There were nearly a hundred people on this flight.

Some looked calm and began to close their eyes to rest after getting on the plane; some looked left and right and secretly glanced at the passengers around them; and some looked blank and looked out the window blankly.

Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang and Liu Qiao happened to be seated next to each other.

Liu Qiao was by the window, Yu Hanjiang was in the middle, and Xiao Lou was by the aisle. He found two boys in their twenties sitting next to him, dressed like college students. Xiao Lou leaned over and asked softly, "Are you from Plum Blossom 4?"

"

The boy was stunned for a moment, and soon his face was filled with joy, as if he were "meeting a fellow countryman abroad." He said excitedly, "Yeah! Are you the same?"

Xiao Lou nodded, "It seems that those who go to Moon City from Plum Blossom 4 all go by plane."

The boy scratched his head and said, "I wonder if anyone will receive us after we go to Moon City? My mind is empty now, just like when I went to study abroad alone..."

After all, we were going to a completely unfamiliar city, and everyone felt very uneasy.

Although the promotional video shows a peaceful scene, who knows what real life in the city will be like? Especially some challengers who lost gold coins in Club 4 are even more worried that they will have no place to live.

The beautiful flight attendant read some precautions to everyone, and the plane took off.

It's late at night outside the window, and you can see the stars.

The passengers on the plane had different expressions, most of them were in a nervous mood, and some were whispering to their companions to discuss the next plan.
