Chapter 4 - Waste Game Ruined My Youth!

Chapter 4 - Waste Game Ruined My Youth!

What does Ryu want most at the moment?

There is no doubt that he wants a navigation system the most.

Now he desperately wants to find out their location's name.

Or, at least some rough clues about their position.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to find someone else in the future.

If they don't even know their location, then sooner or later, they will be in big trouble.

So, Ryu is desperate to figure this out.

Thus, Ryu, Tomoyo, and Kirito began to explore the surrounding ruins.

As they walked, they were quiet and cautious.

After all, this place doesn't look like a safe zone.

Judging from the situation where Kirito was hunted down before, it's not very safe here.

There should be quite a few monsters roaming around.

So, it's better for them to be careful.

Hence, the three began to explore cautiously.

After exploring for nearly half an hour, they didn't encounter any monsters again.

This discovery undoubtedly made the three of them breathe a sigh of relief.

But they didn't dare to be careless.

On the contrary, they acted even more cautiously.

After all, the three of them feared that if they didn't pay attention, a few monsters might pop up next to them!!

While walking, a strange monument suddenly appeared in their field of vision, immediately catching Ryu's attention.

Ryu was stunned for a moment when he saw that thing.

"What's wrong, Ryu?"

Seeing Ryu's strange expression, Tomoyo was a bit puzzled.

"The monument in front of us looks a bit strange."

Seeing that thing, a flash of surprise crossed Ryu's eyes.

Is this a Teleport Waypoint/Anchor?

Is this world Teyvat?

But thinking of the previous message about the Endless Continent, Ryu felt a bit puzzled.

...

That's right, the unremarkable statue not far from Ryu and the others resembles the famous teleport waypoint from Genshin Impact.

The only thing off about this one is that it didn't shine.

It even looks a bit unremarkable.

If someone is not familiar with this, maybe they will even ignore it as an ordinary monument.

When Kirito heard what Ryu said, he was also puzzled.

He followed Ryu's gaze and was a bit puzzled.

"Strange statue?"

"Is there something wrong with it, Ryu?" Kirito asked.

That statue looks unremarkable.

Kirito guessed that it's just some decoration?

That's what most people would think.

Hearing him say that, Ryu shook his head in denial.

"No, I'm going to have a closer look at it."

"I have a hunch that this should be something very important."

Saying so, Ryu gently pulled Tomoyo and walked over.

Seeing this, Kirito had no choice but to follow along.

However, he was still very vigilant and kept an eye on his surroundings.

Although it looks like a square here.

But there are also many ruined buildings.

God knows whether a monster might pop out of those ruins.

Ryu and Tomoyo went to the side of the teleportation waypoint/anchor.

After thinking for a while, Ryu reached out and touched it.

With just a touch, the teleport waypoint seemed to activate.

It began to float slowly.

And bloomed with a blue light.

Seeing such a miraculous scene, Tomoyo and Kirito's eyes widened in surprise.

This looks completely different from the previous unremarkable stone monument.

At the same time, everyone in this area received a system message.

[Congratulations to player Ryu for activating the teleport anchor, activating map function.]

[Region chat is enabled.]

Two pieces of information flashed in their minds, including the map function that Ryu needs.

Additionally, the regional chat feature seems pretty useful as well.

And the people in this area also received the same message at this time.

There is no doubt that the notification of this news also shocked everyone.

Tomoyo and Kirito hurriedly opened their system panels.

Then they saw the new system functions that were enabled.

Maps and regional chat.

Looking at these things, Tomoyo and Kirito were a bit surprised.

As for Ryu, at this moment, he felt that the power in his body had become stronger.

It seems that activating teleport anchors can also make oneself stronger? Although not by much.

And the information about the teleport anchor was also transmitted to Ryu's mind.

If he activates a second teleport anchor, he can use it to teleport from one point to another.

It's similar to how teleport waypoints work in Genshin Impact.

However, this world's teleport anchor also incorporates the map function of the statue of the seven in the game.

One can even light up the area where the teleport anchor is located!

As Ryu lights up the anchor, the map also opens.

However, this area doesn't seem to have any name.

Looking at the 'unnamed' message on the panel, Ryu was a bit surprised.

"No name for this area?"

Ryu looked at the map with some surprise.

Unnamed Area! (Please Rename)

Hearing Ryu's words, Kirito also nodded.

"Yes, our area doesn't seem to have any name."

"What a strange place."

"Is it possible for us to name this area?"

Kirito couldn't help complaining immediately.

It's so weird.

Can the system operate like this?

"Since I was the first to activate this teleport anchor, do I have the right to name this area?"

"I see!"

Looking at the renaming option, Ryu understood.

Immediately, he didn't hesitate and directly started to rename this area.

Tomoyo and Kirito were stunned when they heard what Ryu said.

But the next moment, they were surprised to find that the name of their area on the map had changed.

At the same time, a system message also sounded in their minds.

[The unnamed area has been renamed by Ryu: Liyue Ruins.]

This is the system information.

And the unnamed area on the map has also become Liyue Ruins.

The word 'ruins' after 'Liyue' was a bit intriguing.

"Ryu, did you rename this area?"

Kirito looked at Ryu with some surprise.

Ryu nodded.

"Yes, I changed it."

"It seems that I have the right to change its name."

"It's just a one-time thing though."

After changing the name, the rename option disappeared.

After hearing this, Kirito nodded thoughtfully.

"Since the first person to touch a teleport anchor has the right to name this area…"

"Is there anything else besides this?"

Kirito was very curious.

Are there any additional rewards or achievements?

Tomoyo also looked at Ryu curiously.

Ryu shook his head.

"None!"

"Did you think I have obtained some discounts or something like that?"

"Hehe, keep dreaming, there is nothing."

Having said that, Ryu complained immediately.

This game world doesn't even have any NPCs so far, and there's no shop function or something in their system panel.

Looking around the surrounding ruins, Ryu felt despondent.

It looks like everything depends on themselves for survival.

Although there is a trading feature between players, there's nothing to buy at the moment.

This system is outrageously close to reality.

Maybe this world is just a bad game after all!

When Kirito heard this, he also felt that it made sense.

So, he sighed and stopped thinking about rewards.

Instead, he clicked on his friend list.

Then he started to send out the information he got here as messages.

Tomoyo was also chatting with her mother.

She wanted to find out her mother's location and see if they're in the same area.

As for Ryu, he was studying the map.

The place marked on the map is a ruin.

At the same time, there are several points on it, just like positioning.

Marked Tomoyo and Kirito's names.

Does only people in the friend list show their location?

Thinking of this, Ryu raised an eyebrow.

But when he looked at the size of the map, Ryu suddenly felt helpless.

The map is huge, and there is a forest outside.

If there's no accident, it will be very dangerous over there, right?

After all, parts of the area are surrounded by shades of red.

In other words, only the ruins are temporarily safe.

No! Not even the ruins are safe.

Because, there are many monsters hidden in the ruins!!
