after falling asleep

Chapter 29 01. Remember one thing, normal difficulty is not eligible to have a copy preview
Musu woke up.

He didn't wake up again.

He heard it, smelled it.

But can't see, can't move.

The wooden floor in the hallway outside the door seems to be a little rotten.

Otherwise, where did that sticky and heavy sound come from.

The viscous footsteps came from some swamp, or the deep sea.

The footsteps stopped in front of the door, and the door bolt creaked miserably.

The fishy smell started to get stronger.

The smell of the air comes from the damp seaweed and scales and the dark green sludge at the very bottom of the deep sea.

bang-

The latch fell off and hit the floor.

The door was opened.

Mu Su was still lying on the bed, motionless, motionless.

The sharp claws carrying seaweed and sludge quietly pried open the crack of the door.

Through the crack of the door, the heavy breathing was mixed with fishy smell.

It must have seen Musu.

Gradually, the claws retreated into the darkness behind the door.

All returned to calm.

……

Mu Su opened his eyes and his body could move.

He sat up, the yellowed quilt slipping from him.

He first looked at the open door: a few wet marks and sludge were left by the door.

Mu Su did not go to explore the world outside the door, but chose to go offline.

After playing two copies in a row, it has been a whole day to be converted into reality.

In the real world, Mu Su, who was lying on the bed, took off the game blindfold. It was already dead of night, the bedside lamp was dimly lit, and the surroundings were silent.

Moonlight streamed in diagonally through the window.Mu Su yawned, put the blindfold on the pillow, and fell into a peaceful sleep in the dark of night.

He had a dream in which a beautiful woman knocked on the door, saying that she had no money and wanted to live with him.

Of course he would not refuse such a beautiful thing.So the thunder of the sky stirs the fire of the earth, the lonely family and the widow, the lonely man and the woman, and the island crisis.

Just when he took off the beautiful clothes and saw the dio under the skirt, he suddenly thought, wait, is this something wrong...

Then he woke up.

Morning light shone outside the window.

And compared to the bad dream, 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 little hurried.Opening the door, the owner of the hotel, an old couple, stood at the door.Seeing the door opened, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled gently: "We see that you haven't come out all day, and I'm a little worried..."

First floor living room.

The charcoal blocks in the fireplace had been extinguished, forming a grotesque blackness.If Mu Su fails to clear the customs in time, it will probably end up like this.

As the descendants of the first generation of immigrants, the old couple retains the style of hundreds of years ago in terms of house and living habits.The red-brick wall, and a monitor hanging just above the fireplace is showing the District 14 news.The magnetic voice of the male anchor makes the living room look a bit lively.

There is no synth here, even the butler-type synth that my son bought was finally returned by the old couple.Even tech products belonging to this era are rare.Except for the machine in the basement that disposes of household waste.

Their sons followed the voyage fleet, collecting rare elements in the meteorite belt at the edge of the solar system.It is also the farthest place from here in theory.

This is probably the ends of the earth in the interstellar age.

Under the loneliness of the old couple, the house was turned into a hotel.Hope to make the house livelier.Just few guests.One hundred kilometers away is the main city of the 14th Ring Road, and no one will live here specially.

So Musu became the only resident at the moment, and the old couple was also very interested in him - but the rent remained the same.

In the context of nearly infinite energy, human welfare can be fully guaranteed.But obviously, Mu Su, who should be imprisoned as a patient, is not among them.He still has to worry about the most basic necessities of life.

The three-story building is surrounded by a knee-high deep wooden fence, and some flowers and plants are planted to distinguish it from the surrounding lawns.

Musu murmured and walked into the yard, the gentle breeze blew, and the grass swayed in circles and circles, which made people feel relaxed and happy.

Tens of thousands of meters above the head, steel is like a dome, covering the four fields.

The lines and ravines on it are neatly arranged and spread to the end of the line of sight.

A round red luminous body like the rising sun is gradually moving, radiating heat.

Tens of millions of kilometers behind the steel sky, the huge fireball called the sun is constantly releasing radiant energy and being converted into energy.

A small part of it is used for energy in the 14th Ring District and the "sun" on the iron dome overhead.The rest is used as a reserve for all mankind.

If you describe it, each solar ring area is equivalent to a rectangular piece of iron, each independently revolving around the sun's orbit.The iron sheet 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 of more than ten kilometers long.And the void area in the middle is the human colony, the place where human beings live.

It's a bit like two magnets separated by glass, and people live in glass.

In fact, the quaint and mysterious lines of the steel sky are not useless.When it's night, the nodes of those textures will light up like a starry sky.

Just like real stars.

So it's clear that most sun-ring dwellers, other than those living on the edge of the glass, can't 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 heart.

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, but only by eating this kind of grass can I maintain the appearance of life.Entering the grassland feels like coming home, and the feeling in the grassland is much better than at home!The weeds are all plump and tender, and taste good. I like them very much!

After confirming that he had an inexhaustible supply of food, Mu Sulian felt better.Also open up more ideas - such as relying on games to make money. 10000 copper coins: 100 silver coins: 1 gold coin: 1 credit point or something, and then I am actually the 1000000th logged-in player, the system will reward artifact storage rings or something, and it is best for the village chief of Novice Village to jump out and give it to the hidden profession.

Musu went back to his room and put on a game mask while dreaming a terrible low-end dream.

After a brief dark waiting for the interface, Mu Su opened his eyes and found himself lying on the bed in the hut.

Embers like the setting sun of blood squeezed into the hut through the window.The ground is coated with dark blood.The salty and wet sea breeze whimpered, and the distant dark clouds struck again.

The light is only temporary.

In reality it is early morning, in the game it is dusk.The time of the two worlds is relative.

Mu Su walked back and forth in the hut, ignoring the open door.

On the desk by the door, three fingernail-sized coins lay on parchment.That was the harvest of Musu's first copy - 3 shillings.

At the dining table leaning against the wall, the plate of food showed no further signs of deterioration.Sandwiches are maintained in a hairy state.A few teeth were scattered across the plate—eight in all.

Under the bed, cobwebs hung with dust, binding old suitcases in place.

A hand reached under the bed and dragged it out, the cobweb stretched and broke, and the compound eye of resentment disappeared in a flash.

Fujiang Axe is among them.

*Sun ring: Also known as Dyson ring; Dyson sphere.The greatest source of energy for human beings.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 21 billion people live in the 460 solar ring regions.And the ring area and population keep growing.

*The original human federal organization: The United Nations once held a referendum on naming the sun, but the official option "Dyson Sphere" was not bought by most people.Hence the name: Sun Ring.

*Most of the 21 solar ring areas were set up as colonization areas by the Federation—except for the originally built 4 solar ring areas that could not be colonized due to technological limitations at the time.

*A congressman once believed that the Dyson sphere now covers less than [-]% of the sun, which does not meet the definition of a Dyson sphere, or even a Dyson ring.And based on the current level of human development, the solar system does not need to develop into a Dyson sphere. It is recommended to change the official name of the solar ring to the solar cloud.The proposal was rejected by some scholars, saying: "It's pointless.
