Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

Hundreds of city defense troops are stationed here to maintain order; anyone who misbehaves can be killed on the spot.

"Please show your identification."

Between the checkpoints, Zuo Chang and the other two handed over their identification documents.

Before registering the information, the official used the device to read it and said, "The three of you will represent Lord Qian in conquering Sky City. All spoils within the instance belong to you. After completion, the password will belong to Lord Qian. Do you understand?"

The gecko nodded indifferently: "Understood."

"it is good!"

The cadre operated the instrument a couple of times and registered the information with the deity.

He then returned the documents and said, "Registration successful, gentlemen. Sky City is fraught with danger, so do not let your guard down! On behalf of Lord Qian, I wish you success and a triumphant return!"

The gecko nodded with a smile.

He straightened his baggage and, with Zuo Chang and the centipede in tow, passed through the space-time rift.

A strong feeling of weightlessness surged forth.

Arriving at the instance via a time rift is about a hundred times more uncomfortable than taking a train.

Zuo Chang smelled an unusually fresh scent in his nose, opened his eyes, and found himself standing on a high hill.

Looking into the distance, you can see a forest of steel and concrete.

That is--

The outer buildings of Sky City.

Gecko stroked his whiskers and said to Zuo Chang, "The area ahead has been cleared. Qian Wuyi has set up a base there. You can buy food, water, and adventure gear there. Did you bring any money?"

Zuo Chang nodded: "I brought it."

Zuo Chang didn't spend a single penny of the travel expenses that Blood Rose had given him.

The two blacksmiths, Lu Li and Master Hu, must have been impressed by Zuo Chang's skills.

The red envelopes they gave were huge; each person received 10,000 yuan!

Zuo Chang's transmigration not only resulted in a comfortable life, but he also earned 20,000 yuan, which can be considered a small miracle.

"It's fine if you brought it. We have limited supplies, so we won't share with you."

As the gecko continued talking, he still seemed a little uneasy.

He and the centipede were the bait, but there were more than just the two of them who came here.

The Eagle General himself and Lady Yaotai in person have actually entered the instance!

They collaborated with another powerful figure from 96511, traversing from another spacetime rift.

According to the original plan, the gecko should now go and meet up with General Eagle, and then begin to execute the plan.

only……

The young man in front of me is far too reckless!

How dare someone from the Third Realm try to stage an accident in Sky City? They're courting death!

The gecko, being kind-hearted, couldn't bear to see a young man die in vain. After a moment's hesitation, it decided to lend a helping hand.

He pulled the centipede aside and said, "Centipede, how about I take this kid to the 'armory' and get him some battle armor? Otherwise, with his cultivation level... I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it."

Centipede frowned: "How can this be? How can you give away treasures without the commander's permission?"

“It’s just one thing, nothing to worry about. Besides, this kid is a top-ranking soldier. If we can recruit him, wouldn’t he be a valuable asset? Explain this to Commander Ying, and he will understand.”

"…You've thought it through."

The gecko nodded: "I'll take responsibility for the consequences."

The centipede shook its head helplessly and said, "Gecko, you're behaving very unprofessionally, unworthy of the title of 'top assassin.' Since you've made your decision, I won't try to persuade you otherwise. Take care of yourself."

After saying this, the centipede turned and left.

Zuo Chang watched them whispering to each other, unsure whether to leave or stay, so he just stood there.

Gecko stroked his mustache as he approached and chuckled, "Come on, Zuo Chang, I'll take you somewhere."

Zuo Chang asked curiously, "Where?"

The gecko smiled mysteriously: "What a great place! A hidden armory, little known to most, where treasures are kept!"

……

……

Zuo Chang followed behind the gecko, growing more and more suspicious as they walked.

He discovered—

The gecko was walking along a path it knew very well.

This is a hidden animal trail in the maple forest, winding and difficult to spot.

After entering the maple forest, the first direction to move is due north;

After seeing a dead tree that had been struck by lightning and was half-split, we turned east.

Then, we walked to a blue stone and stopped.

The gecko was clearly experienced; the path he chose was exactly the same as the one in Zuo Chang's mind, and he seemed to be very familiar with this instance.

"Hey!"

The gecko bent down and used its strength to lift the huge blue stone in front of it, revealing an iron gate underneath!

There was a combination lock on the iron gate. The gecko pulled out the keypad and extended its finger—

"11037."

Zuo Chang silently recited a string of numbers, and the gecko seemed to hear his thoughts, pressing those five numbers.

"Crack!"

The next instant, the iron gate beneath the stone swung open.

The gecko glanced back at Zuo Chang, and after seeing the slight surprise on Zuo Chang's face, it revealed a smug smile: "Stupid, aren't you? I have a master to guide me!"

Zuo Chang was indeed surprised.

The iron gate that the gecko just opened leads to the underground armory.

Finding this Easter egg is quite difficult.

First of all, this hidden armory would be difficult to find. Who would wander around in an empty maple forest for no reason?

Even if the secret in the maple forest is discovered, obtaining the password to open the door is not so easy.

This string of numbers is on a wall on the second floor of Sky City.

The wall was covered in graffiti, and this string of numbers was not conspicuous among them and could easily be missed.

Besides, by then the dungeon was about to be cleared, so who would care about such a small detail?

just now……

Zuo Chang asked in surprise, "Incredible. Senior Gecko, how do you know these things? Are you from another community?"

The gecko chuckled and said, "It was General Eagle who told me. General Eagle has cleared the Sky City instance at least a thousand times! He has measured every inch of Sky City with his own feet and knows many secrets! This armory is just the tip of the iceberg, nothing special."

"Oh!"

It turns out that Commander Eagle is actually a veteran!

Zuo Chang hesitated, unsure whether he should pretend, and after some thought, asked, "What's down there?"

The gecko laughed and said, "Come with me!"

The two descended the stairs into the armory, disappearing behind the iron gate. The gate slammed shut, the lock locking itself.

"rustle."

The next moment, two people walked up to them.

The man in the lead was none other than the man in the suit that Zuo Chang had met before—Qian Wuyi's confidant, Ma Wen!

Marvin's face was cold as he spoke, "As expected of Commander Eagle, he's really got some skills! He even managed to find such a hidden place... Evil Eye, did you see the password?"

Standing next to Marvin was a tall woman wearing hot pants and stockings.

She curled her red lips into a smile, her purple eyes sparkling: "11037."

Marvin sneered, "Let them live for another fifteen minutes! After fifteen minutes, break down the door and kill the thieves!"

Thank you, Professor Flamel! I'm just a nobody, a passerby, for the generous donation! Thank you so much!

Brother Chicken is too kind, coming to feed us every day... As the saying goes, a gentleman's friendship is as light as water, how can the feelings between you and me be measured by mere gold and silver? I am humbled and deeply ashamed, let's focus on opening our hearts to each other, let's focus on opening our hearts to each other.

Chapter 52: If Blood Rose wore this, would the show still be broadcast?

The gecko was clearly visiting the armory for the first time.

He held a flashlight and looked around, seemingly very interested.

Zuo Chang looked at him, feeling a little annoyed: "Everything here originally belonged to me, but now another person who knows the truth has suddenly appeared... What I can get depends on how generous the other party is."

There is a fixed process for copying.

Each time an adventurer enters a dungeon, the timeline will reset. Most monsters and materials will respawn, and destroyed mechanisms and environments will be restored.

but--

The armory at Zuo Chang and the gecko's feet is part of the "first encounter" scene, a one-time event.

The footprints left during exploration and the walls damaged during battles will not disappear or be restored. The items placed inside are available on a first-come, first-served basis; once taken, they are gone.

The armory contained dozens of excellent battle suits and a box of ancient crystals.

Zuo Chang could have used this opportunity to advance to the fourth realm!

Whether it's possible now depends on whether the gecko will give it to us.

"This is it."
