Mu Su woke up.
He didn't wake up again.
He heard it and smelled it.
But I can't see or move.
The wooden floor in the corridor outside the door seems to be somewhat decayed.
Otherwise, where did that sticky and heavy sound come from?
The sticky footsteps came from a swamp or the deep sea.
The footsteps stopped in front of the door, and the door bolt squeaked.
The fishy smell started to become stronger.
The smell of the air comes from the moist seaweed and scales and the dark green sludge at the bottom of the deep sea.
Boom——
The door bolt fell and hit the floor.
The door was opened.
Mu Su was still lying on the bed, motionless and motionless.
The sharp claws covered with seaweed and mud quietly pried open the door.
Through the crack in the door, heavy breathing mixed with fishy smell.
It must have seen Mu Su.
Gradually, the claws retracted into the darkness behind the door.
Everything returned to calm.
…
Mu Su opened her eyes and could move her body.
He sat up and the yellow quilt slipped from his body.
He first looked at the open door: a few wet marks and mud were left on the door.
Instead of exploring the world outside the door, Mu Su chose to go offline.
After playing two dungeons in a row, a whole day has passed in reality.
In the real world, Mu Su, who was lying on the bed, took off his gaming goggles. It was already late at night, the bedside lamp was dimly lit, and the surroundings were silent.
The moonlight slanted in through the window. Mu Su yawned, put the eye mask on the pillow, and fell into a peaceful sleep under the night.
He had a dream in which a beautiful girl knocked on the door and said that she had no money for housing and wanted to live with him.
Of course he would not refuse such a good thing. So the thunder from the sky stirred up the fire on the earth, leaving the family alone, the man and the woman alone, and the island crisis.
Just as he was taking off the girl's clothes and was about to help her masturbate, he suddenly thought, wait, is there something wrong with this...
Then he woke up.
There was morning light outside the window.
And compared to the bad dreams, he discovered the first problem he encountered after being discharged from the hospital.
No money.
Dong dong dong——
There was a sudden knock on the door, which seemed a bit urgent. When I opened the door, the hotel owners, an old couple, stood at the door. Seeing that the door was opened, they breathed a sigh of relief and said with a gentle smile: "We saw that you haven't come out all day, so we are a little worried...
…”
Living room on the first floor.
The charcoal blocks in the fireplace have been extinguished, forming a strange black shape. If Mu Su had not been able to clear the level in time, it would probably have ended up like this.
The old couple are descendants of the first generation of immigrants. Both the house and living habits have retained the style of hundreds of years ago. The red brick walls and the monitor hanging above the fireplace are playing the news from District 14. The magnetic voice of the male anchor makes the living room look...
Somewhat lively.
There are no synths here, even the butler-type synth that the son once purchased was eventually returned by the couple. Even the technological products of this era are rare, except for the machine in the basement that is used to dispose of domestic waste.
Their son followed the expedition fleet to collect rare elements in the meteorite belt on the edge of the solar system. It is also the farthest place from here in theory.
This is probably the end of the world in the interstellar era.
The old couple were lonely and converted their house into a hotel, hoping to make their home lively. However, there were only a few guests. The main city of the 14th Ring Road is a hundred kilometers away, and no one would live here specifically.
So Musu became the only current tenant, and the old couple also took a liking to him - but the rent remained the same.
In the context of nearly unlimited energy, human welfare can be completely guaranteed. However, it is obvious that Mu Su, who is a patient and should be imprisoned, is not included in this. He still has to worry about the most basic food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The three-story building is surrounded by a knee-high deep wooden fence and planted with some flowers and plants to distinguish it from the surrounding lawns.
Mu Su muttered and walked to the yard. The gentle breeze blew by, and the grass all over the mountains and fields rippled in circles, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
Tens of thousands of meters above the head, steel is like a dome, covering the surrounding fields.
The lines and ravines on it are neatly arranged and spread to the end of the sight.
A round red luminous body like the rising sun is gradually moving, emitting heat.
Tens of millions of kilometers away behind the steel sky, the huge fireball called the sun is constantly releasing radiation energy and being converted into energy.
A small part of it is used as energy for the 14th ring area and the "sun" on the iron dome above. The rest is used as a reserve to supply all mankind.
To describe it, each solar ring area is equivalent to a rectangular piece of iron, each independently rotating around the orbit of the sun. The iron piece is divided into three layers. The inner side is close to the sun to absorb energy, which is the true solar ring. The outer side is adjacent to the inner side.
, only separated by a gap area of more than ten kilometers long. And the gap area in the middle is the human colony, the place where humans live.
This is a bit like two magnets separated by glass, and people live in the glass.
In fact, the seemingly primitive and mysterious patterns of the Iron Sky are not useless. When it is night, the nodes of those patterns will light up like the starry sky.
Just like real stars.
So it is obvious that, except for those who live on the edge of glass, most residents of the Solar Ring cannot see the real starry sky with their own eyes.
Looking at the green grass all over the hills, Mu Su had an idea in his mind.
It is impossible to work part-time, and it is impossible to work part-time in this life. I don’t know how to do business. I can only maintain my life by eating this kind of grass. Entering the grassland feels like going home. The feeling in the grassland is better than at home.
Much better! All the wild grasses are plump, tender and delicious. I like eating them very much!
After confirming that he had inexhaustible food, Mu Sulian's mood improved. He also started to expand more ideas - such as making money through games. 10,000 copper coins: 100 silver coins: 1 gold coin: 1 credit point and so on.
, and then he is actually the 1,000,000th logged-in player, and the system will reward him with artifact storage rings and the like. It would be better if the head of the novice village jumps out to hide his profession.
While having an outrageously low-end dream, Musu returned to the room and put on a gaming mask.
After a short period of waiting in darkness for the interface, Mu Su opened his eyes and found that he was already lying on the bed in the hut.
The embers of the setting sun, like blood, squeezed into the hut from the window. The ground was coated with a layer of dark blood. The salty and wet sea breeze howled, and the endless dark clouds in the distance struck again.
The light is only temporary.
It's early morning in reality, but it's dusk in the game. The time in the two worlds is relative.
Mu Su walked back and forth in the hut, paying no attention to the open door.
On the desk next to the door, three coins the size of fingernails were lying on the parchment. Those were the harvest of Mu Su's first copy - 3 shillings.
On the dining table leaning against the wall, the plate of food showed no signs of further deterioration. The sandwiches remained in a hairy state. A few teeth were scattered on the plate - eight in total by counting.
Under the bed, cobwebs hung with dust, binding the old suitcase in place.
A hand reached under the bed and pulled it out. The spider web stretched and broke, and the vicious compound eyes flashed away.
Fujiang Ax is among them.

*Solar ring: also known as Dyson ring; Dyson sphere. The largest source of energy for mankind. A theory proposed by physicist Freeman Dyson in 1960. The principle is to wrap the star and continuously absorb the radiation energy emitted by the star to provide energy. At the same time
Can be used as a human colony.
*A total of 46 billion people live in the twenty-one solar rings. And the rings and population are constantly growing.
*Original Human Federation Organization: The United Nations held a referendum on naming the sun, but the official option "Dyson Sphere" was not bought by most people. Therefore, it was renamed: Solar Ring.
*Most of the twenty-one solar rings were set up as colonial areas by the Federation - except for the four initially built solar rings that could not be colonized due to technological limitations at the time.
* Some congressmen once believed that the Dyson sphere currently covers less than 4% of the sun's area and does not meet the definition of a Dyson sphere. Even the Dyson ring does not meet the definition. And based on the current level of human development, the solar system does not need to develop into a Dyson sphere. It is recommended that the official
Change the name of the solar ring to solar cloud. This proposal was rejected by some scholars and said: it is meaningless.
