Chapter 508 Room Zero (2/2)

Despite the sorrow that was overflowing from Chen Xiaolian’s face, he was unable to stop himself from becoming moved.

“So, how do I enter Room Zero…”

Before Chen Xiaolian could finish his words, a gate appeared before him.

This gate had seemingly appeared out of thin air – more accurately, it could not even be considered a gate. It was just something built from some broken stones. It was barely able to form the frames of a gate. It was so humble and unrefined it was eye-striking.

“I… … I need to enter?” Chen Xiaolian pointed at the gate dubiously.

“Of course, you are the only one who can enter.” Zero City gave a very simple reply.

“What about you?” asked Chen Xiaolian.

“I am a part of it.”

Oh well.

Chen Xiaolian took a deep breath and looked at the gate standing before him. After a moment’s hesitation, he stepped forward. The moment his left foot stepped across the gate…

Everything before him lit up.

…

The blue sky appeared as though it had just been washed clean.

Chen Xiaolian looked at what rested beneath his feet before looking around. He was unable to stop himself from breaking into a wry smile. “This is… … Room Zero?”

He was standing on a meadow.

More accurately, it was just a stretch of meadow.

The size of the meadow was not too large, only about one mu (1 mu = 1/15 hectare). The green grasses on the meadow were very comfortable. He felt softness from every step he took.

Beyond the meadow… … was… … the sky.

A sky filled with nothing.

All around this world, all of it was filled with the blue sky.

No matter which way he looked, he was unable to find an edge.

In the middle of the meadow was a large stone slab. It was not the well cut square shaped kind of stone slab. Rather, it was a very natural looking one. One that followed no design. It was around five to six metres in length and its surface was flat. It lay in the middle of the meadow.

There around the stone slab were a few…

Mm? Are these benches?

Chen Xiaolian felt puzzled.

Judging by the layout, it would appear that the stone slab was used as a table. As for those things around it, those were probably where people were meant to sit.

However, those ‘seats’, or rather, those ‘benches’ all looked different.

The one closest to Chen Xiaolian was a tree stump. Clearly, it was one that was cut out. It was already dry, but was still very firm. The tree stump was just at the right height, allowing an adult to sit down on it and still lay their feet down on the ground.

Beside the tree stump was a… … huge tortoise shell.

In terms of size, it was around the same.

Next to the tortoise shell was a… … straw cushion.

Beside it was a saddle.

A rolled up bale of straws.

A stone stool – thank goodness, finally something that actually looks like a stool.

The way the stone stool was carved did not appear refined. It appeared quite rough.

That was all the ‘seats’ available.

Tree stump, tortoise shell, straw cushion, straw bale, saddle, stone stool.

A total of six seats encircled the stone slab serving as the table in the middle. All of them were far apart from one another.

“This is Room Zero?”

Chen Xiaolian walked around.

He had imagined this room to be one filled with futuristic designs.

When he reached the edge of the table, his finger reached out to touch the surface of the stone slab…

Suddenly, a strange sensation spread from his fingers to him.

Naturally, the stone was very coarse. However, what his fingers felt was like… … it was like an electrical current flowing into him.

Is this… resonance?

Chen Xiaolian looked down.

“This… … what is this?”

Chen Xiaolian muttered to himself.

“First, you need to seat yourself.” Zero City’s voice rang out within his ears. “Sit at my side.”

“At your side?”

“Naturally.” Zero City’s reply left Chen Xiaolian surprised. “Your fingers are now touching me. Now, you may sit down.”

“You… … are this stone slab?” Chen Xiaolian was utterly shocked. “This is your inceptive appearance? Your real appearance? A piece of stone?”

Zero City replied coolly, “No, there is no external form for my inceptive form. More accurately, this Room Zero is also not of any inceptive appearance. Rather, it was created according to the founders’ preferences.

“As for me… … when you have obtained the authority, you may change me into any shape you want. A piece of stone, a car or even a toilet bowl. There is no difference. It is nothing but external appearance.”

Chen Xiaolian was left speechless.

After contemplating it, he asked, “Where should I sit? Any one of the six?”

“No, you should sit in your own place.” Zero City gave him a strange answer.

My own place?

Chen Xiaolian became confused.
