Eternal Night

Chapter 405 Peaceful daily life...Fuck!
Wu Xianxiao is very satisfied with his life recently.

He found a hotel in the city, just on the edge of the city, a hotel that was not luxurious, even a bit simple.

However, the porridge and homemade pickles provided free of charge by this hotel are very delicious. They are specially provided for people staying in the hotel, and there is one meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

"...I'm curious, can you really make money like this?"

Wu Xianxiao stopped after finishing a bowl of porridge, but he took a piece of pickled vegetable root and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly. It had a slightly spicy and slightly bitter taste, as well as a refreshing salty taste. He felt it was delicious and gave him a sense of nostalgia.

The boss is a middle-aged man. He and his wife opened this couple's hotel, which is located on the edge of the city. In fact, this is not a real urban area, but an urban expansion area with "illegal buildings" in the back.

According to what Wu Xianxiao learned from the imperial officials in the core urban area, the truly legal urban area only includes the most central and towering core urban area.

The information he sensed from the emotions of these officials was that the original plan was to build a hive city in this world (planet), but it was urgently stopped just as it was about to be built. The reason was that the colonists felt that the natural environment of this world was very good, and the political and social structure of this world was also very valuable. In the end, this world was recognized as a paradise world, and this small hive city model became the real legal city of this world. After that, local residents and humans from other planets began to rely on the prototype of the hive city to build expanded urban areas.

The hotel where Wu Xianxiao was staying temporarily belonged to the expansion area outside the expansion of the city... It was a place where the lowest class of people lived. Its customers were migrant workers, pilgrims from far away, or luckless people from other planets, scavengers, and the lowest class of mercenaries. They were all poor people, and the free porridge and pickles every day were the most delicious delicacies for them.

When the boss and his wife heard Wu Xianxiao's question, they were serving porridge to the residents and they both laughed.

The boss was a simple and honest middle-aged man. He smiled and said, "The Emperor taught us to help other kind people. He gave us a stable and peaceful life now, not to let us slack off. What we are doing now is to practice the truth that the Emperor told us."

The proprietress also said, "This porridge doesn't cost much, and these pickles are wild vegetables. The profits from our shop are enough to pay taxes, and the surplus can send our two children to school. The tax officer said that ours is an act of piety to the state religion, so our taxes can be reduced to a certain extent. Our children are also registered in the city and can go to school in the city. Maybe they can even join the government department in the future."

Wu Xianxiao nodded slightly. He looked at the most magnificent, conspicuous, and luxurious building in the city besides the airport in the distance... the church. He said, "...it seems that religion is not that bad, as long as this religion sincerely encourages people to be good."

Although the voice was normal, Wu Xianxiao modified the perception of the people around him. They ignored it and talked about work, income, taxes, children, food, and various things they had seen and heard, mostly about life. Occasionally there were witnesses, but the witnesses were not extreme at all. At most, they were some statements from the municipal government. This made Wu Xianxiao, who had experienced the public opinion circle in the 21st century, feel that these people were as gentle as elementary school students.

“What a world of simple folk customs.”

Wu Xianxiao stood up and strolled towards an area slightly inside the city.

A bowl of thin porridge was certainly not enough to fill Wu Xianxun, so he strolled to the nearest breakfast street he had found.

Wu Xianxian felt a strange sense of familiarity with everything here, just like the era he was familiar with and the era he had heard about from his parents.

In the memory of Wu Xianxiao's original personality, the 21st century is a prosperous and fast-paced era. The rise of Southeast University has made this ancient civilization stand at the pinnacle of human civilization. However, in the memory of the older generation, such as his parents, this ancient civilization was still a slow, developing society with a rural atmosphere just twenty years ago.

The same is true of this world. Outside the city is a very slow-paced rural atmosphere, while on the edge of the city is the small city development stage from the 19th century to the 20th century. There are farmers who move to the city, the lower class people in the city who hope to develop, travelers from other places, gold diggers who come here to try their luck, and so on.

Going deeper into the city, you will see the prosperous metropolis of the 21st century, with its urban population, fashionable young people, and modern, fast-paced life. Then, as you get closer to the core city, you will see high-tech cities with futuristic trends, high-tech creations with a strong cyberpunk feel, and even human body modification.

Wu Xianxiao did not feel disgusted by these things, but just felt they were novel.

"Boss, give me three bowls of noodles."

Wu Xianxiao came to a noodle stall that he had just discovered a few days ago and spoke to the burly boss with scars all over his face.

The boss was taciturn, just nodded slightly, and started rolling the noodles with a serious face. Wu Xianxiao also liked silence, so he sat here and watched everything around him. It was morning, many workers went to work, many students went to school, and some priests began their morning prayers. This scene made Wu Xianxiao happy.

The boss rolled the noodles in silence, but his eyes kept staring at Wu Xianxian from time to time, and also looked at the people around him from time to time. Then a slight confusion appeared on his face, as if he had seen something incredible, but for some reason he could not say anything strange.

Wu Xianxiao sensed something. He looked at the boss in confusion and asked, "How long have you been working here?"

The boss was stunned, and his mouth moved. Although he didn't want to answer any questions about his past, for some unknown reason, he still spoke: "More than five years... After the Battle of Casio, I successfully blew up three greenskin stolen cars and indirectly killed the greenskin warlord. They rewarded me and sent me here... It's been almost five years."

Wu Xianxiao frowned, his perception was a little confused. This boss's emotions contained too much confusing information, but generally speaking it should be a battlefield.

He pulled a cigarette out of his personal space and handed it to his boss, asking, "Is it the war?"

The boss subconsciously took the cigarette, then his eyes lit up. After sniffing it carefully, he looked at Wu Xianxiao with surprise. He wanted to say something, but he said nothing. He just nodded and carefully put the cigarette into a box next to him.

Wu Xianxiao was speechless for a moment. He took out two more cigarettes, lit them both at the same time, smoked one of them, and handed the other to the boss. The boss was also speechless. He took the cigarette and was confused for a moment, then immediately took a big breath, and each puff of smoke was completely inhaled into the lungs, and he didn't exhale for a long time. This made Wu Xianxiao look at his cigarette in confusion. If he wasn't smoking it, he would have thought it was marijuana or something else.

"...Young man, don't rely on these evil things. Although some things in the subspace are less harmful, if you use them too much, you will always run into trouble." The boss suddenly said.

"?"

The confusion index in the corner of Wu Xianxiao's eyes fluctuated slightly and dropped by more than one hundred, but fortunately, he still had more than 200,000 confusion indexes to slowly consume.

Wu Xianxiao said, "Boss, please explain clearly, what do you mean?"

The boss hesitated for a moment, then said, "You're not a local resident, right? You're here for sightseeing... No, you're probably here to investigate something, right?"

Wu Xianxiao nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, the boss observes very carefully."

"Be careful, be careful."

The boss cursed and said, "I can't even observe you. I can see you, but you seem hazy, and then I forget what you look like and what features you have. You've come to eat here more than a dozen times, but I still can't remember you. Isn't this the effect of the subspace? Thinking about it this way, your identity is obvious. You are either a member of the Governor's family coming of age, or the heir of the Dynasty of Traveling Traders who is here to observe the trade route, or a government official with a special mission... right?"

Wu Xianxiao wanted to refute and explain, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that apart from the fact that his vague cognitive power did not come from the so-called subspace, his origins were not all of these. In terms of purpose, he was indeed observing and considering.

What the boss said is actually not wrong.

Seeing that Wu Xianxiao did not refute, the boss continued: "But these have nothing to do with me. On the contrary, because of your arrival, the filth and dirt seem to have decreased a lot. It seems that you are still an important person... It's rare that you have a comfortable life."

Wu Xianxiao wanted to ask what was so dirty and filthy, when a young and beautiful woman came out from the building behind the store. She was carrying a small backpack and holding a religious book. She had long hair, fair skin, and a graceful figure. She smiled before she spoke. As soon as she came out, she said good morning to the burly boss, bowed slightly to Wu Xianxiao, and then walked towards the church.

Wu Xianxiao looked at the girl and forgot what he wanted to ask.

The girl was indeed beautiful, but Wu Xianxiao was not so obsessed with her. The key point was that he felt that the girl looked a little familiar. It was not that he wanted to chat her up, but he just had an inexplicable attraction to her.

The boss coughed, knocked the iron pot hard and said, "Don't look at it, this is my comrade's daughter. She will become a nun in the future. She is not a plaything for you powerful people!"

Wu Xianxiao was immediately displeased and said, "What are you thinking? A plaything. But it's really strange. Why did she become a nun when she was doing well..."

The boss ignored Wu Xianxun and just continued to roll the noodles and then cut them into noodles.

Wu Xianxiao began to look around again. He looked up with a little doubt, but he saw nothing. He looked around again and felt that everything here was quiet and peaceful. It was indeed a very suitable place to serve as a shelter.

"So……"

Wu Xianxiao thought carefully about the people he had come into contact with recently. They were all good people. The world was also full of vitality and vigor. Thinking about the vastness of the world, he made up his mind.

At that moment, Wu Xianxiao took out the crystal and said to Beelzebub, "Then I will set up a shelter in this world and leave a coordinate for returning."

Beelzebub still felt something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was. After thinking about it carefully, she felt that her mind seemed a little confused, so she said, "That's fine. It seems that this world is indeed a result of the interweaving of multiple sources of power, reaching a certain balance."

Wu Xianxiao smiled and looked around. He crushed the crystal and said, "What a peaceful daily life..."

The crystal shattered, and the next moment, a gigantic humanoid mecha, whose surface distorted the space, suddenly fell from the sky and smashed the church in the distance to pieces. The gigantic mecha actually penetrated directly into the church and fell to an unknown depth below it.

"Fuck me!"

Wu Xianxiao stared blankly at the exploding ruins of the church in the distance, the screaming crowd, and the upper city soldiers who suddenly opened fire crazily.

The crystal slowly dissipated between his fingers, and the voice of the Mastermind rang in his ears.

"Judgment in progress... Judgment completed. The causal link between this world and Gaia has been opened. Citizen Wu Xianxiao, congratulations. You can establish a shelter in this world."
