After Lu Zhengkang finished his day's work, he returned to his warm low-rent house, turned on a familiar computer, and clicked on familiar icons.
Ah, STEAM!
Looking at his game library, there are not many in it, but they are all high-quality games. Lu Zhengkang loves these games very much.
It was night, and Lu Zhengkang planned to play through the five doors of "Hollow Knight" at night, and this time he tried to compress the time to thirty minutes.
Although he is not as good as those big players, he is still proud enough to reach the top in such a difficult game.
Before that, Lu Zhengkang decided to have a good meal. Sufficient blood sugar would give his brain more energy and at least make his reaction faster.
Scoop out a bowl of rice, put it in the rice cooker, add a handful of fresh corn kernels, and plug it in to cook the rice.
Open the old and yellowed small refrigerator, take out half of the remaining cabbage and a small piece of bacon.
"Chinese cabbage, cabbage, everything is delicious..." Lu Zhengkang hummed, "Stir-fried cabbage with bacon, everything is delicious."
Walking to the narrow balcony, all the kitchen utensils and cooking utensils are in this area of less than five square meters.
I opened the window to exhaust the smoke, but accidentally let in the moonlight. There was a small, dirty energy-saving lamp on the ceiling of the balcony, which emitted a faint light, making Lu Zhengkang's shadow grow long.
After finishing the only hot dish, he opened the folding table leaning against the wall, solemnly placed the bacon-fried cabbage in the center of the small table, and opened a few cans to look like stars over the moon.
After the dishes are done, wait for the rice to cook.
Taking advantage of his free time, Lu Zhengkang quickly opened "Taiwu Painting Scroll" for a while.
This game is simply a black hole of time. It has added up to a hundred hours without you realizing it. Life for Buddhist players is quite difficult in this kind of game. Instead of wiping out Xiangshu forces, they are obsessed with village construction.
Everything is in order. Lu Zhengkang is very satisfied with his current life and enjoys his single time very much.
After dinner, Lu Zhengkang went out for a walk. He lived on the 18th floor and it took a while to go up and down the elevator. Many people would not choose to take a walk because they found it troublesome, but Lu Zhengkang didn't mind being alone in the middle of the night.
Wander around for a while.
Lu Zhengkang looked at the gloomy high-rise buildings in the city under the street lights. He looked up at the sky. The dark clouds were illuminated by the city lights, giving off an unnatural red light.
After walking for a while, he felt that the thin oil and water in his stomach had digested some, and his body gradually became warmer, completely resisting the chill of early autumn. He knew it was time.
Go home, sit at your computer desk, and open "Hollow Knight."
Familiar music, familiar interface, he looked at it countless times. When he saw the familiar little knight sitting on a familiar bench and resting, Lu Zhengkang felt a surging power surging in his chest.
He couldn't help but said: "I really want to enter the game and have an adventure where my life is the bet!" After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh, "What are you thinking, you are such an adult and still act like a child?"
... "
Maneuver the little knight to reach the fifth door of the Divine Residence.
There are forty-four boss battles waiting for him inside.
I silenced my phone first, thought about it, threw it on the bed, and covered it with a quilt.
Take a long breath, five doors, lock the blood, enter!
The golden divine residence, the gate of the abyss, and the blackness swallowed up Lu Zhengkang's sight.
…
Lu Zhengkang felt like he was floating, gently and slowly, like clouds floating in the sky.
The pitch-black field of vision gradually became clearer, and what came into view was a large golden scene. Complex and beautiful geometric runes were suspended in the air and transparent. Everything was like a dream. Looking around, there were suspended platforms, and there seemed to be shadowy figures.
Buildings, sculptures, and moving shadows.
Everything was so beautiful that Lu Zhengkang simply forgot about his own existence and just threw himself into such a colorful and wonderful world.
But this dream-like scene soon dissipated, and Lu Zhengkang woke up.
But not in the shape of a person.
It's an insect that catches the eye.
Lu Zhengkang was stunned.
insect?
The bug in front of him had an anthropomorphic shape, with slender limbs, but overall it was round and looked very harmless, but it was too big. No, Lu Zhengkang realized, it was because he had become smaller.
When the insect saw the deer being healthy, it made a cheerful sound.
The voice was soft and gentle, but Lu Zhengkang couldn't understand it. Of course, the words of insects were different from the words of people. Lu Zhengkang found himself lying on the bed, trying hard to get up, but couldn't. When he stretched out his hand to look, he suddenly
Startled.
This transparent, small hand, with four fingers, can still see the blood vessels inside.
There is no skeleton, but a carapace. Although it is very weak, it is indeed a carapace.
Lu Zhengkang checked repeatedly and finally realized clearly that he had turned into a larva.
But how can any insect be so anthropomorphic?
He is now in a small round house, with various tools hanging on the wall and a transparent ball hanging from the ceiling. There are glowing bugs flying inside, bringing light and a little warmth to the room.
The previous insect left Lu Zhengkang's bedside, and soon came back with a piece of meat in his hand.
This seemed to be a piece of insect meat with a carapace. The familiar appearance gave Lu Zhengkang a sense of familiarity. This seemed to be the lowest insect in "Hollow Knight", that is, a small reptile.
The insect put the piece of meat into its mouth, chewed it for a while, digested it briefly, spit out the minced meat, and fed it little by little to the deer Zhengkang.
Human consciousness rejects such rough food, but the survival instinct of insect bodies enjoys the sweet nutrients. Lu Zhengkang can taste the mellow taste, and his heart is moved by a complex and straightforward happiness.
The weak body of the larva could not provide Lu Zhengkang with the energy to think for a long time, and he soon fell into a deep sleep.
He entered a dream, a dream of an insect, a dream of a swarm of insects, a dream of a kingdom.
Lu Zhengkang's eyes were filled with golden light, which was the world of dreams.
He couldn't see his own body, but he could feel the power of his thoughts. After all, he was human.
An illusory platform appeared in the golden void, and the world had a direction. The platform was the earth, below, and above, there was boundless light. There were many similar platforms in the distance, and there were many huge buildings in the shadows.
They hide their extraordinary posture in the dream world and become inconspicuous, like real dream bubbles, which are the dreams of other insects.
Lu Zhengkang wanted a real body. Soon, he could feel the body condensed and various physical senses appeared one by one. This feeling was very beautiful. Lu Zhengkang was surprised and happy at the same time.
A small, round and egg-like insect fell lightly to the platform below, like a cloud, and bounced slightly.
The size of the platform has no practical significance. As soon as Lu Zhengkang thought about it, the platform expanded a lot. And as he made deeper associations, the platform began to become solid, walls appeared, and a small pavilion appeared.
The jade railings, green tiles and flying rafts are very beautiful and exquisite, and the internal structures are constantly appearing. Comfortable bamboo lounge chairs, household items, pots and pans - these completely useless things, Lu Zhengkang spared no effort to make them one by one.
Now, such a dream world full of details is more charming than reality. Lu Zhengkang knows that he is a god here!
But he was not after all. He soon felt tired and stopped thinking about creating a dream. He lay on the wide bed and fell into a dreamless sleep.
