Resurrection Empire-Chapter 955 - 368: Hick (Part 2)

Ren Zhong, however, didn't pay attention to her self-assumed affection and simply said, "Lead the way."

"Alright."

Although this was a passage within the city walls, the walls had a self-luminescent feature, making it spacious and bright.

The four of them stepped onto the conveyor belt, moving inward, then turning sideways, and finally stepping onto the elevator, which hummed as it went up.

The elevator stopped, the doors opened, and what greeted Ren Zhong's eyes was a spacious, bright rectangular hall.

The hall featured artificial mountain fountains and even the rare green plants on the ground, presenting a garden-like scene.

The female guide gestured invitingly, "The VIP box is inside, please follow me."

The group walked inside, and Ren Zhong's gaze swept through the area. He saw people sitting happily in spacious, bright booths, chatting and laughing merrily.

Beside these people were large floor-to-ceiling glass panels, allowing a bird's-eye view of what was below.

Noticing Ren Zhong's gaze on the glass, the female guide explained, "This is high-strength blast-resistant glass, even direct hits from weapons above the fifth level or energy weapons won't damage it. Also, this glass functions as a holographic projection screen. When the match begins, Mr. Ren, you can use telescopes to watch or have the projection wall bring the image directly to your side."

Ren Zhong asked quizzically, "So soon, you've restored holographic projections?"

The female guide nodded, "Yes, probably last month. But here we're just a pilot project, we should be the first global merchants to use the new holographic projection. After all, the entertainment life of citizens is quite important."

Ren Zhong nodded, remaining neutral.

They walked along the long corridor for about two minutes, passing a booth when suddenly Ren Zhong heard a slightly shrill shout beside him.

"Oh my! Isn't that Ren Zhong?"

The voice was unfamiliar. Ren Zhong looked over with slight confusion, only to see a group of agile teenagers standing up from the booth, craning their necks to look his way.

A girl who previously called his name bounced over excitedly, blinking her big bright eyes, examining Ren Zhong from head to toe, then gasping in surprise, "It really is you. Hello, hello, nice to meet you."

Ren Zhong: "Who are you?"

"I'm your fan! You haven't updated your battle videos in ages."

The girl was very forward, trying to grab Ren Zhong's hand while speaking.

Ren Zhong hid his hand behind him, facing expressionless, "I'll update whenever I have the chance. But now, could you please step aside, I need to reach my booth."

Girl: "Oh, come on, it's rare to bump into an idol. Why don't you sit with us? I'll cover your expenses today!"

Ren Zhong shook his head, "No need, that's too kind."

As he spoke, more people crowded behind the girl, surrounding Ren Zhong from all sides, chatting noisily and excitedly.

Someone even tried to approach Ren Zhong stealthily.

Ren Zhong, annoyed, had to exert a little effort to leap out of the crowd first, then checked his wrist watch for the booth location and walked off without looking back.

The girls pounced on empty air, visibly uncomfortable.

Once he was further away, Ren Zhong sat in his booth without minding anyone else, lowering his head to read the game rules. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

It turned out that the so-called human games weren't just limited to one match per day.

Sometimes, if the game's pace was fast enough, there could be several matches in one day, and the scale wasn't limited to a thousand people.

If they fetched enough wild people or slaves, and if enough citizens came to join the entertainment, it could even form games with thousands of people.

Right now, the last match had just finished, and the next one would start in fifteen minutes.

This was quite a rare ten-thousand-person game, also a ten-thousand-dollar game.

Of course, ten thousand referred to the number of participants reaching ten thousand.

As for ten-thousand-dollar, it meant that players could equip their chosen participants with gear worth ten thousand Contribution Points.

Ren Zhong casually opened the participant roster, looking at the dense avatars and names, briefly losing focus.

He waited for a moment, finally until Zhou Ya arrived late.

The two guides accompanying looked somewhat disheveled.

Before sitting down, Zhou Ya casually greeted the two, letting them leave, then complained to Ren Zhong, "I really didn't expect you to be so famous, I nearly had to pull off my mask just now."

Ren Zhong shook his head with a smile, "Chasing stars, frankly, it's just leading a too leisurely life, resulting in some emptiness within, looking for something to cling to. I'm past the age of enjoying being watched."
