When Han Gui saw Shangguan Qian’s stunned expression, he understood. This fat man had probably never heard of his planet before. Could he be one of the first players from Earth?

“My friend, this is the first time I’ve heard of your planet. It should be a newly found life planet in Infinite Game. Do you have any other questions? I can answer them for you here.”

Han Gui had many questions. He was new here, so information was very important.

He pointed at the dark sky in the distance and asked, “What’s going on over there? Why is the sky outside the city all dark? It feels very ominous.”

When Shangguan Qian turned to look in the same direction, a hint of fear flashed in his small eyes before he said, “That is an ominous land, the abyss of death. But it is also a promising land. You’ve seen your attribute panel, right? Increasing attributes requires points, but if you kill monsters in the ominous land, you may be able to obtain valuable items that can increase your attributes.

“So even if the outside world is very dangerous, there are still many people who dare to go there.”

Han Gui started to grow an interest in the outer region. After all, he had just learned that killing monsters there could give him an item to increase attributes.

“Have you seen any of the items that can increase attributes? What does it look like? Will all monsters drop it?”

Han Gui knew he had the multiplier, but what was wrong with wanting more points? With a substitute that could increase attributes, he could save a lot of points.

Shangguan Qian chuckled as he rubbed his fingers together, making the gesture for money.

“Friend, you need to exchange money for information. I’ve already told you a lot before. Including the previous one, it’s basically three questions. 30 points. It’s not expensive, right?”

30 points compared to the information he had received was indeed not expensive. Han Gui was not stingy and directly traded over 30 points.

After receiving the points, Shangguan Qian beamed and continued, “As for the items that can increase attributes, it’s very simple. When you kill the monsters there, you will find a crystal core in their heads. A crystal core can increase attributes by 0.1, but not all monsters have it. It depends on luck and strength.”

“What do you mean?”

The fat man rubbed his fingers together again and Han Gui traded over another 10 points.

“Some of the monsters in the dark are weak and have crystal cores in their heads, but most of them don’t. The strong ones, on the other hand, have a higher chance of having a crystal core in their head. If you’re weak, you will have to depend on luck. But if you’re strong, then one can advance with more certainty.”

Shangguan Qian noticed that Han Gui was deep in thought and asked, “My dear friend, is there anything else you would like to ask?”

Han Gui nodded and asked, “Brother, how many times have you experienced the various worlds? Are those worlds difficult? Also, is the mortality rate among those in F Class area high?”

After saying that, Han Gui traded another 30 points.

Shangguan Qian looked at Han Gui as if he was looking at a rich man’s father. In just a few minutes, he had already earned 70 points.

“I’ve experienced four worlds. Some of them are difficult, and some are simple. I’ve asked other people before and they said that the worlds for F Class players aren’t too difficult, but the mortality rate is still very high.

“For example, Wasteland World, Walking Dead World, and Alien World. These places are difficult to survive and the mortality rate is extremely high as well.

“It’s either a zombie attack, an alien monster, or a siege. In short, the danger and mortality levels are both quite high.

“Hey, Friend? What’s wrong?”

Han Gui was stunned. Wasteland? Alien monsters?? Walking dead? Why did they sound so similar to the games and movies he’d played or watched back in the real world?”

Han Gui had become very excited. He felt that his points had not been wasted. If it was really as he thought, then Infinite Games were just Earth’s games and movies. And if that were true, he would have a big advantage.

After spending 30 points to ask a few more questions, Han Gui had already confirmed his thoughts.

The 30 points were not wasted either. He asked Shangguan Qian in detail about the worlds that the players from the F Class area had experienced. Without a doubt, they all sounded similar to the movies, anime, and games on Earth, but they were all relatively low-level ones.

Still, these were scenarios with high mortality rates.

For example, Walking Dead was a survival game. If one survived for a certain period of time without dying, they would receive points. The game would also issue missions and completion of any would reap some pretty good rewards.

But would it really be that easy to survive zombie attacks and such? Han Gui had posted and commented on a lot of movies and games within a similar genre. Thus, he had a lot of experience and knowledge in this field of expertise.

The horror of zombies and the despair of an apocalypse were not things that ordinary people without superpowers could deal with.

As for aliens, their levels were indeed a little high. After all, they were usually conceptualized as creatures born to slaughter.

Their terrifying reproduction speed, super-fast growth rate, silent kills, powerful adaptability, and highly corrosive blood made aliens pretty terrifying enemies.

The death rate would definitely be high in the alien world. Han Gui would know. The increase in his Spirit attribute had allowed him to not only be able to recall lost memories, but also experience the ones he had yet to encounter.

He looked at the dark sky in the distance and decided that he would use this one week to go over with Xinyue and explore their chances.

“Friend, do you plan to go hunting outside? Seeing that you are so forthright, I will give you a piece of information for free.

“When the lights of the city are about to dim, don’t hesitate and come back as soon as possible. The night is dark and full of terrors.”

When he saw the solemn expression on Shangguan Qian’s face, Han Gui nodded. Then he stood up and walked back in the direction he had come from.

His gaze swept across the sparsely populated streets. Many must have left to go hunting in the darkness. It was hard to imagine that this area had people from different planets.

In Infinite Space, the weak were basically walking towards their deaths. If they wanted to live, they would have to constantly struggle to survive.

It seemed that with his multiplier, even if they did not work hard, they would easily surpass others. He was on his way back to see if Xinyue had rested well and was ready to go out for a walk.

He walked quickly, in a hurry to return. Just then, he heard laughter on his right.

“Hey, Handsome. What are you in such a hurry for?”

Han Gui stopped and looked in the direction of the voice with a frown. The person had a devilish figure yet angelic face. Her entire body exuded an aura that made people’s mouths dry.

How could Han Gui not recognize this woman who had survived on Earth?
