Chapter 28 Arrangements

After a long wait, the electronic door behind Jue-ge finally opened again.

Outside the door stood a tall figure, his entire body covered in tinfoil armor. It had to be said… the look was really pathetic.

"I think... I should represent the alliance to express my apologies to you, Mr. Feng Bujue." The Tinfoil Hero stood outside the door and said to Jue-ge, "Enwei's reaction was a bit excessive. I hope it didn't make you feel unpleasant."

"No, I'm happier than ever." Feng Bujue glanced at the other party calmly and said casually, "Oh, by the way, if you don't mind, please call me Poker Hero."

"No problem, Poker Hero," the Tinfoil Hero replied.

Feng Bujue nodded slightly and walked towards the door. When he reached the other party, he said, "You're the Tinfoil Hero, right?"

"Yes," the Tinfoil Hero replied. "You can call me Kurtas."

"Okay, Kurtas," Feng Bujue replied. "Since you're here, it means that your Supreme Council's discussion is over. May I ask... what are you going to do with me?"

"Hehe..." The Tinfoil Hero replied with a smile, "The Universal Superhero Alliance warmly welcomes you to join."

"Well, that's good," Feng Bujue said as he walked out of the room.

At this time, in addition to the Tinfoil Hero, there were three other people standing in the corridor outside the door: Breakdance Hero, Tap-Dancing Freak, and Doctor Eternity.

After Feng Bujue greeted the two plug-in aliens, Doctor Eternity took the initiative to say to him, "Hello, Poker Hero, I don't think you know me yet." He paused. "Let me introduce myself, I am Doctor Eternity, and I am also a hero from Earth." He reached out his right hand from under his cloak.

"Hello," Feng Bujue replied as he shook hands with the other party. "Nice to meet you." He smiled, "I just wanted to find someone to ask... what are the differences between this Earth and the one in my universe."

"Heh... I think we'll have a lot to talk about." Doctor Eternity also showed an inscrutable smile.

"Okay, you two, there will be plenty of time to chat later, but now..." The Tinfoil Hero interjected, "Let's help Poker Hero settle down first and take care of some necessary procedures."

…

In the next hour, Feng Bujue, accompanied by the four heroes, received a "Hero ID Card" (a card made with special technology that can recognize not only DNA but also brain waves, making it almost impossible to be stolen), and registered the hero name "Poker Hero." From now on, Jue-ge could move freely within the alliance with this ID card (but his card permissions were still very low, and there were many areas he couldn't go to).

During the process of handling the formalities, the Tinfoil Hero and Doctor Eternity explained to Feng Bujue how to use the ID card and some basic common sense related to the Universal Superhero Alliance. In addition, they also mentioned the "Hero Level Test"... After explaining a bunch of settings, the two big brother-level figures left.

About an hour later, all the miscellaneous matters were completed, and Feng Bujue followed Breakdance Hero and Tap-Dancing Freak to the door of a certain room in Zone Z of the "Hero Dormitory." This would be his future residence.

"We'll take you here," Breakdance Hero said.

Tap-Dancing Freak added, "Remember to keep in touch, Poker Hero."

"Well, thank you both," Feng Bujue replied.

The three exchanged a few more pleasantries and then parted ways. Jue-ge opened the door of Room Z250 with his Hero ID card and walked into his dormitory.

"Well... it's not as shabby as I imagined..." Feng Bujue muttered as he looked at the environment in the room after entering.

As mentioned earlier, the size of the Universal Superhero Alliance headquarters was already close to that of a small planet, so its functions were very rich. Heroes could replenish supplies, train, receive treatment, and receive tasks here. Some dangerous criminals (such as Doctor Decay) or items would also temporarily stay here and wait for processing. In addition, the base also provided technical support, such as transportation, communication, reconnaissance equipment, and weapons.

In addition to heroes, there were also a large number of scientific researchers and other staff. The Universal Superhero Alliance was also responsible for the food and accommodation of these people. And the place where the heroes lived was the Hero Dormitory.

As a living area, the space occupied by the dormitory was very limited. It was good enough to ensure that everyone had their own separate household. Two bedrooms and one living room were impossible. For example, Feng Bujue's Room Z250 had a total area of ​​only forty square meters. The living room was right inside the door, and the only compartment was the bathroom.

Of course, though the sparrow is small, it has all its vital organs. Basic living facilities, such as beds, wardrobes, air conditioners, refrigerators, microwave ovens, water heaters, and toilets (depending on the race, the configuration would be different. The room that Feng Bujue moved into was obviously suitable for human habitation), were relatively complete.

"Ah, the Wildball Fist's skill cooldown is up again." After Feng Bujue closed the door, he unleashed another one.

This was the seventh time since he entered the script... There were still fifty-three punches to go before Lv2.

"Anyway... let's observe the environment first." Feng Bujue walked forward and began to rummage through the room.

The furnishings in the dormitory were very simple, and there wasn't much to check. Considering that he would have to use it in the future, Jue-ge naturally couldn't conduct a "destructive" search like in a normal script. He could only carefully touch and knock around to confirm whether there were any mechanisms, secret passages, hidden cameras, bugs, or anything like that.

As a result... he gained nothing.

"Well... with Toad Hero's personality, it would be abnormal if he didn't monitor me," Feng Bujue thought. "And he should also know that I would think that way, so... his monitoring methods must be extremely difficult to detect." He stroked his chin and murmured, "Maybe... he has already used some method to put a miniature monitor in my stomach..."

"Forget it, as long as I find the safe house, his monitoring equipment will be ineffective." Feng Bujue still had a lot of confidence in the system.

After searching the living room, the next step was the bathroom. Jue-ge pushed the door open and went in. Then, he saw a delightful scene...

In addition to the basic facilities, there was an extra door in the bathroom. On the door panel was a circle with the Chinese character "惊" (jīng) written inside.

"Ha... talk about getting what you want." Jue-ge was overjoyed and walked straight over.

After he stepped into the safe house, a system prompt sounded in his ears: \[Under normal circumstances, NPCs will not actively approach the space where the safe house door is located. Please do not try to deliberately guide NPCs to the front of the safe house, otherwise it will cause a chain reaction and increase the "rejection" of this universe towards you.]

"Oh? The 'rejection' of this universe towards me..." Feng Bujue repeated thoughtfully, "Sounds like some kind of hidden value..."

His thoughts flashed, and his actions continued. As soon as Jue-ge entered the safe house, he walked to the elevator door.

In order to obtain a better rating in the "Hero Level Test," he decided to leave this script first and come back when he was fully prepared next time.

\[Warning, you are performing an operation to leave the script. Entering next time will incur a game currency fee. Are you sure you want to do this?]

The moment he walked into the elevator, he heard this prompt. Feng Bujue shrugged and reached out to press the "Close Door" button.

The metal door closed in response, and the elevator also started to move. At the same time, the system prompt said again: \[Please select the time you want to log in to this world next time.]

Before the words fell, a virtual menu popped up in front of Jue-ge's eyes, with five options: \[One, one minute later; two, one hour later; three, three hours later; four, twelve hours later; five, forty-eight hours later.]

This setting could be found in the game description and the detailed introduction of the new mode, that is: when a player normally leaves the universe in Free Exploration Mode, they can choose the time point to enter next time. If they did not choose, or exited the script abnormally, the system would default to "forty-eight hours later."

At the moment, Feng Bujue thought for a while and selected the third option. This way... no matter how long it took him to play Free Exploration Mode again, even if it was a year later, only three hours would have passed in this universe.

\[You have left Free Exploration Mode] Before long, the elevator stopped moving, and the system voice sounded.

After a fleeting sense of detachment, the settlement menu appeared on the screen in front of Jue-ge.

\[Free Exploration Mode has ended, and rewards are being settled.]

\[Obtained experience value: 27760, game currency: 100]

\[Obtained item equipment: "Poker Hero" Hero ID Card]

\[Obtained skill points: 670]

\[Settlement completed, please continue.]

"Heh, pretty concise..." Feng Bujue muttered as he looked at the settlement screen.

Indeed, compared to other modes, the settlement screen in Free Exploration Mode was very short. There were no clearance rewards, no mission-related rewards, no fear ratings, and no skill point bonus rewards.

In addition... since it was the first time entering this mode, Feng Bujue's earnings were quite small. Of course, this was also very fair, the difficulty was directly proportional to the earnings... Just following behind the two plug-in aliens and crushing a bunch of villains with weak IQs, it was already good enough to get this little experience and skill points. In fact, most of the more than 20,000 experience points and more than 600 skill points were mainly thanks to Qiong Qiong Qiong Qiong Marshal...

"Well... with my current strength, it's impossible to reach the evaluation of a galactic hero," Feng Bujue muttered as he walked towards the storage room. "Even planetary level is a stretch..." He put the Hero ID Card into the warehouse and pondered, "The initial test is very important. If the level is too low, I will encounter many obstacles in the future... It seems that it's best to practice for a while longer and go back when my strength is stable at the planetary hero level."
