Chapter Twenty-Nine: Life in a Fictional World

The Mooncell login permission that Shirou gave Shinji is a very interesting thing, and the way Shinji exists has not yet been explained, like an intelligence body composed of photons, and like an aggregation of reiko.

Shinji was able to "see" the blue crystal floating inside the sea of consciousness, but he didn't feel anything substantial. It is only at the moment when the soul is withdrawn from the body and enters the Mooncell that there is a hint of solidity.

There are several abilities that crystals grant Shinji.

The first is the most important and the most commonly used login and logout. This is the basis for Shinji and Erquit to go back and forth between the "fictional world" and the present world, and it is also the opportunity for the two to meet.

The second is the recording function. It is because of this function that Shinji has developed the habit of recording regularly. However, this is only a derivative application of the recording function, and its real role is positioning. The size of the fictional world is comparable to that of the solar system, and without a positioning system, memory alone is absolutely not enough - this is not Earth, and Elquit's ability to read the world's information is not universal.

In addition, logging out in place and logging in in place also rely on the positioning system, otherwise the two will have to return to the initial position every time they go back and forth.

Then there's the teleportation function. The fictional world is far larger than the Earth, and it is not enough to move in a conventional way for a thousand years, so there is a teleportation function.

There are two modes of teleportation, fixed-point teleportation and random teleportation. The former is used to travel to locations that have already been recorded, while the latter is used to travel to areas that have not been visited. Teleportation requires the consumption of Shen Er's mental power, and the consumption of fixed-point teleportation is proportional to the teleportation distance, and there is no such restriction for random teleportation, but the location cannot be determined, so there are pros and cons to each other.

In addition, there are other functions, most of which are based on the combination and derivation of these three, and Shinji is still exploring.

After more than a month of exploration, Shinji and Erquit have fully adapted to the environment of the "fictional world" and have figured out the general operation of the world.

After all, it is the eye used to observe the earth, and the environment of the fictional world is mostly copied from the earth, from the topography and landforms, the distribution of cities, to the form of the inhabitants, and the style of architecture can find shadows in the history of the earth - only shadows, Mooncell records too many things, and the way of presentation is also strange.

Integrate the architectural styles of different countries and different points in time into a city, and it doesn't make you feel the slightest bit of peacekeeping. Or just make a city of nations, it's not a strange thing here.

The aborigines of the fictional world are also of all races, there is a single race gathering, and there is also a hodgepodge of various races, but there will be no language barrier problem, all of them are the intelligence body's own system translation - at least Shenji understands this, if you want to listen to Japanese listen to Japanese, if you want to listen to Chinese listen to Chinese, you can also listen to English if you are unhappy.

During this time, Shinji and Elquit have experienced a lot. Although it is not a magnificent, tortuous and bizarre event, it also has a different taste, and both of them have lost a lot of "firsts".

Stealing something for the first time.

The "imaginary world" is a wholesome world. There is civilization, there is society, and of course, there is also a monetary system. Shinji and Erquit are soul entries, how can they bring money? In order to survive in an unfamiliar city, there is no way to use a little illegal means.

Although it has a fictitious name, this world is a real world, and when the time comes, you have to sleep, if you don't eat, you will go hungry, and if you are killed, you will die - the various beasts killed by the two are the best proof of this.

On a dark and windy night, the two infiltrated the most luxurious residential area in the area, stole a considerable amount of cash, and then left the city overnight to the next city. God knows what era the city's security system is using, and if it is discovered, it will be a lot of trouble.

Although Elquit was looking forward to fighting the local residents, Shinji didn't agree, there are too many unknowns here, so be careful.

First part-time job.

The stolen cash is just an emergency, there will always be a day when it will be spent, and in order to survive in this world for a long time, there must be a way to make money. Among them, part-time jobs are the most suitable for entry with the least investment.

Shinji picked a restaurant with a good business to apply for a job in the back kitchen, he has practiced knives and is a water attribute, whether it is washing vegetables or cutting vegetables, he can have fun. Erquit has a good image and a lively personality, which makes him very suitable as a waiter.

So, the two of them, who had been wandering around this strange world for more than ten days, finally settled down, collecting intelligence while trying to integrate into this world.

The first time I was bullied and the first time I got revenge.

Specifically refers to Elquet. Her social experience is basically zero, and she has no clear understanding of the complexity of the human heart. Before that, she would never have known that humans could become so ugly because of jealousy.

A very old-fashioned event. A richly dressed couple came to the restaurant for dinner, and the middle-aged husband gave the beautiful waiter Miss Elquit a few more glances, and the wife was not satisfied. She said sour things to her husband while making all sorts of trouble with Elquit.

Erquit's nerves are relatively thick, and there will inevitably be some omissions in the details. Because it's all a small problem, most of the guests don't care, and occasionally they do, for the sake of the Erquit people's apology and sincerity, and the people are cute.

But this time, driven by jealousy, the woman did not give up, grasping a little mistake and magnifying it infinitely, embarrassing Elquette in various ways. The store manager intervened, and the woman not only accepted it if she didn't see it, but became even more arrogant and actually asked Erquit to get out of the store.

Now Elquette couldn't help it, she didn't care about being embarrassed, it didn't mean anything to her. But this job is very important to her, and Shinji has told her that it is an important starting point for exploring the new world, and she will not allow anyone to destroy it.

If she hadn't remembered to promise Shinji not to be impulsive when she encountered a problem, and wait for him to solve it, she would have thrown this woman out a long time ago. But it might be better than the tragic encounter that is coming.

What happened next came and went, and the woman seemed to have been damned. The high heels suddenly broke, causing him to fall, and he also brought down the table full of dishes next to him, and his clothes were completely destroyed, and his otherwise good image was also a mess.

This is hell for a woman who pays attention to her image. Suddenly, he couldn't take care of eating, and he didn't bother with Erquit, so he took his husband and fled.

However, the escape process was also extremely unsmooth, with all kinds of wrestling, hitting the wall, and disappearing from view, when the couple had a blue nose and swollen face, and their clothes became tattered.

"How?"

Shinji quietly came to Elquit's side.

The golden light in Elquit's eyes gradually faded, and the usual brightness returned to her face, and she habitually hugged Shinji's arm (the sequelae of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms), hehehe, smiled.

"It's much more comfortable, but you're still good. ”

Clearly, what happened to the couple was Shen Er's idea, and Elquit acted on it.

The matter is not over here, the store manager gave the two of them a few days off because of this incident, and the two of them also took this opportunity to start their exploration journey again.

It was December 28, 1999, and they didn't know where they were going or who was waiting for them.
