Chapter 342 Master Builder

At eleven o’clock, Zhang Heng excused himself and retired to his room. He locked the door before taking out his Dell laptop. When he logged in to his account, he saw that he had a new email.

The section under the sender was blank, and the subject was login.

Zhang Heng clicked on it.

‘Player number 06992 invites you to form a team to join a new round of game. Please ensure that you are alone in a private s.p.a.ce with no one else around. Click on the link below to start the game when you are ready. Have a wonderful time!’

There was no need to mull over it. Even if Why Do You Always Look Unhappy (# O’) was pulling some trick again, he had a mission failure exemption card, ensuring that he wouldn’t encounter too great a danger in the quest.

Zhang Heng clicked on the link at the end of the email.

The next thing he knew, he was. .h.i.t by that familiar dizziness, and the system prompt echoed in his ears.

[Verifying player’s ident.i.ty…) [Verification confirmed. Players 06992 and 07958 are holders of component 300501. Connecting players to the quest]

It was Zhang Heng’s first time hearing that a quest’s main objective was to save the world. Judging by its description, he thought he would be sent into a dystopian wasteland or to the eve of the apocalypse. When he opened his eyes, he found himself standing in a train station, surrounded by a bustling crowd.

Everything looked normal… except that everything around him was made out of blocks.

Lego? Zhang Heng raised an eyebrow. Lego, a building block toy, was invented by Ole Kirk Christiansen, father of Lego. The word came from the Danish phrase “LEg G.o.dt”, which translates as “play well.” Food-grade plastic was used to manufacture the parts, with protrusions on one side and corresponding indents on the other. The pieces are a.s.sembled according to instruction manuals to form a variety of models, or the player could set the manual aside and build whatever they please according to their own personal preferences. In the world of Lego, nothing was impossible, and the possibilities were endless. Zhang Heng had seen many Lego fanatics build life-size Lego models on the Internet and in exhibits, including a full-scale Bugatti Veyron (engine also made out of Lego bricks, and could be driven on the road at low speed

– no more than 30km/h), all sorts of bricked-out animals, and even houses. In this game he was in, however, he was literally in a world formed by bricks. This was the first time he had seen something like this.

He was standing in a ma.s.sive railway station, where even the gla.s.s roof above, the marble floor beneath his feet, the cake shops, and convenience stores were bricks. Every single detail, from the ticket vending machines to the entrance of the subway station; they were all constructed from millions upon millions of colorful Lego bricks.

In fact, all the pa.s.sersbys were also brick people. Suddenly, Zhang Heng had a premonition. He looked down at his own hands and, as he suspected, saw that his palms had turned into the cla.s.sic C-shaped hands of the Lego minifigures.

Just then, someone patted him on the shoulder. He turned around and saw a nerdy girl in black-rimmed gla.s.ses, braided hair, and an old-fas.h.i.+oned sweater.
