“Hello, new neighbor. Let me introduce myself. I'm Brunan, a director at the Bruches Hedge Fund.” A middle-aged man in casual wear smiled and greeted from the adjacent balcony.

“Hello, I’m Zhou Bili.” Xia Ji thought it was a good opportunity to ask this person about communication methods.

“How did you die?” Brunann’s next question was a bit out of the ordinary.

Shu Ji didn't know how to respond.

“No need to feel embarrassed; everyone comes to this heaven only after they die, right? I died in a car accident, and my family bought me a fifty-year membership. This place is really nice, with beautiful scenery and beautiful people, plus I can connect with my family outside.” Bru Nan said.

“How to contact family outside?” Xia Ji heard the key words.

“You don't know this? You must have skipped the tutorial, just watch TV and you'll find out,” Blunan said with a smile.

Summer Ji thanked, returned to the living room, and turned on the TV.

He discovered a communication channel on the television that could actually connect to the outside world; Summer Ji was just about to search for the phone number of Aston Nursing Home.

```htmlAt this moment, a knock on the door sounded from outside. Xia Ji, suppressing his curiosity, opened the door to find Linus standing outside, carrying a double-barreled shotgun.

"No need, I've already contacted the nursing home and the state police office. It won't be long before they come and break down the machine room door," Linus said proudly.```

“Where did you get your shotgun?” Xia Ji asked.

“I got it from the mansion. The rich people here really know how to enjoy life. You know, the outside seasons can be adjusted. Right now, it's set to autumn, so we can go out hunting for fun,” Linus replied excitedly.

“既然你已经联系了救援,我们是不是可以退出游戏了。”夏极道。

听了夏极的话,李纳斯神色一暗:“退不了。”

“What do you mean you can't exit?” Xia Ji asked.

“This game doesn't have an exit option, or rather, I can't find the exit option for now,” Linus replied.

“What should we do then?” Xia Ji asked.

“放心,等救援的人来了,他们取出我们的皮下芯片,我们就强制退出游戏了。”李纳斯道。

“如果救援的人来不了呢?或者又出了别的意外状况,他们救不了我们呢?”夏极道。

“So what do you suggest we do?” Linus said.

“We can’t put all our hope in others. Let’s look for a way to leave the game and see if we can contact the sheriff, Old John, and Raj. We should meet up with them first,” Xia Ji said.

“I was just about to tell you that I emailed the three of them, but not one of them has replied yet. Oh, a message just came in.”

Linus said, pointing in front of him a few times, and a screen appeared that only he could see, displaying the email information.

“It's an email from Old John; he said he's in a very tall building, Room 13 on the 1024th floor,” Linus said.

1024 floors? How tall must this building be?

```html“Where is this building?” Xia Ji asked.

“I don't know.” Linus replied.

“Wait a moment, I'll ask the neighbor.”

Xia Ji walked to the balcony, where the neighbor Brunan was still enjoying the snow on his balcony.```

```html“What are you asking about the slum?” Brunon said, a bit surprised by Xia Ji's question.

“What slum?” Xia Ji asked.

“Heaven is divided into rich areas and slums. You’re asking about that tall building, which is in the slum. Those who live there are all low-level members.” Brunon said.```

“How do I get there?” Xia Ji asked.

“Do you want to go to the slums? The conditions there are very poor; I've heard they don't even have television.” Brunan replied.

“I want to visit a friend.” Xia Ji said.

“On the other side of that wall is the slum,” Brunon pointed to a high wall in the distant skyline.

Summer looked in the direction he was pointing and faintly saw an extremely tall wall, resembling a massive peak, piercing into the sky.

Summer and Linus left the villa, walked through the forest along the lake, crossed a vast meadow, and after a day's journey, finally arrived at the foot of that high wall.

This high wall shimmered with silver waves, as if it were made of water, but the wall itself was extremely solid.

Boom!

Linus raised his double-barreled shotgun and fired a shot at the wall.

However, apart from a ripple on the wall, not even a small hole was formed.

"This wall must have been set to invincible mode by the backend; no in-game items can break it," Linus said helplessly.

Summer used the [Spirit Fire] item and tried burning it on the wall. The water patterns on the wall fluctuated violently, and scorched marks appeared on the burned area.

“Did you... find a bug?” Linus exclaimed with excitement.

“I guess it's a bug.”

Summer Ji smiled, continued to use spiritual fire to burn the wall, and soon burned a large hole.

The two of them crawled through the hole into the other side of the world. When they looked back, the hole in the wall was slowly closing, just like a sponge returning to its original shape, which looked quite eerie.

```htmlIn sight, there is a small garden with pavilions and ponds, where people are walking along the garden path.

Not far behind the garden, there is a tall building that reaches out of sight, and it's hard to tell how many stories it has.```

The two arrived at the entrance of the building's ground floor, which looked stripped down on the outside, with only the most basic steel and concrete, giving a dull and monotonous impression.

The entrance door was firmly closed, featuring a payment code that required one yuan to unlock.

“Damn, are you crazy for money?”

Linus cursed as he paid the bill, covering Xia Ji's share as well.

After receiving the payment, the door opened automatically, and the two walked inside.

Upon entering the lobby on the first floor, the building was completely bare, resembling a raw shell. On the left was the elevator, and on the right was the staircase.

The elevator also has a payment code, and using the elevator costs one yuan.

“F*ck f*ck f*ck……” Linus cursed loudly, not because he didn't have money, but because he found the game developers to be extremely annoying.

But if they climb the stairs, the two of them need to climb 1024 floors to reach Old John’s position.

Linus had to pay the money and also paid for Xia Ji.

Xia Ji had no money and could only take advantage of Linus.

Soon, they took the elevator to the 1024th floor.

They walked to the door of room 13.

“Old John, open the door quickly, it’s me, Zhou Bili,” Xia Ji shouted, knocking on the door.

“I can’t open the door, give me ten bucks,” came Old John’s voice from inside.

```htmlAnother expense? Linus is almost going crazy after transferring ten bucks to Old John’s account.

The door to Room 13 opened, revealing a small room of less than twenty square meters.

Summer saw Old John sitting on an indoor bicycle, pedaling away, with various advertisements on the four walls around him.```

“你干什么?”李纳斯奇怪道。

“对不起,我要赚十块钱,房门才会打开。”老约翰道。

原来老约翰“出生”就在这间小房间里,新手教程教他要每天上交十块钱,才能离开房间。

There are two ways to earn money: one is by watching various advertisements on the wall, and the other is by pedaling an indoor stationary bike. Both methods generate a small amount of digital currency, which is directly credited to Old John’s account.

Before Summer and Linus arrived, Old John was still struggling to make the ten-dollar fare to go out.
