Chapter 21: Star Desert
Star Desert - Even the largest metropolis in the country, due to the regional location, it is also referred to as Z City.
In the center of the city, rows of skyscrapers are hundreds of kilometers high, projecting huge virtual images like clouds in the sky, turning into afterimages in mid-air and passing through the aircraft, endless crowds of people, and huge bustling streets crisscrossed with various things.
Star Desert City is very large, and the closer it gets to the center, the bigger it becomes, and compared to the world on the outskirts of the city, it seems to be the difference between the two worlds.
Although it is the same city, it is divided into two worlds, the inner and outer worlds, and since decades ago, the center of the Star Desert has drawn a boundary, representing the past on one side and the present on the other side as infinitely close to the future.
There is a huge difference in both appearance and essence, and even the breath can distinguish the obvious difference.
In a sense, some people can't really go from one end of the city to the other in their lifetime......
"This place...... No......"
Yu He was dizzy and unstable.
In this area, where the average consumption is more than 10 times that of the outer city, He naturally feels a sense of crisis that comes from the depths of his soul and is on the verge of collapse.
It's going to be over......
Feeling a slightly puzzled gaze on the side, Yu He turned his gaze, patted his chest with one hand and said in a deep voice:
"Me...... But quite, the world-level people don't have any money!! ”
He flipped his coat pocket open and pinched a few bills in his two fingers.
"After deducting the rent and this month's food expenses, there are only two hundred left, and the rest is fatal."
"yes, I see."
The girl nodded slightly.
"So...... In this case, the place is completely deadly...... No, it's a good thing, but the important thing is that even these last few bills will turn to dust in minutes!! ”
The sorrow of his voice was so sad that the listener wept, but everyone who still had a little humanity was reminded of the most tragic memories of his life by this scream......
"Actually......"
The girl opened the dial on her wrist, and a virtual image of a card made of countless tiny letters appeared in the air.
"The problem of money should be something to worry about......"
"What!!"
Yu He's heart was hit by a shock similar to a 12-magnitude earthquake.
"This!! …… This is?!!! ”
In this world, there is a thing that can only be possessed by having a certain amount of money, and it is also something that only a real trench is qualified to hold - the almost indecipherable 'shadow card' achieved by the world's most advanced technology world, each of which represents money that ordinary people cannot earn in a lifetime, and it is almost completely universal in the world.
"What's the trench?!! Are you a trench?!!! ”
Yu He was unsteady on his feet, and fell to the ground in a half-squat.
"President, are you alright?"
The girl looked worried.
"It's okay...... It's just that the internal injuries were shaken out by the trenches......"
Yu He covered his abdomen with one hand, his teeth clenched, and cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
"So, let's go! The goal is to conquer the entire universe!! ”
"Huh? Do you want to conquer the universe? ”
The girl looked surprised.
"Of course, with so much money, whether it's the earth or the universe, you can do it easily!!"
"Yes...... Is that so? ”
Yu He stood on the edge of the bridge and looked at the crowd of black pressure in the distance, sneered with his hands behind his back and shouted:
"Tremble! Stupid human ...... And the world, the universe, turn me into scum in front of the trench!! ”
"Huh? ……”
…………
"Anyway...... Where are you going in such a big place? ”
Yu He looked at the vast and endless huge city connected to the other end of the bridge at a height of 100 meters.
"This is found from the Internet...... About, the course of the date. ”
The girl lowered her head slightly, and her fingertips tapped the dial on her wrist, projecting miniature projections of streets in mid-air.
"Huh? ~High technology. ”
Yu He stared at the phantom of the city that shrank into a palm-sized figure in mid-air.
"So, is the first step here? ……”
The finger landed on a point on the map.
"Team...... It's a long ......."
There was a queue of hundreds of meters in front of the ticket office.
"Why...... The ticket is a 'beep-' (silenced) yuan, which is completely a pit father!! Are all these men entrenched?!! ”
His fragile heart is being severely tested.
Star Desert Amusement Park - the largest amusement park in the country, both the equipment and the venue are first-class, and the ticket price is ...... Of course, it is beyond the scope of Ho's psychological tolerance.
Even though there was still some time before noon, the temperature was rising as the sun became more intense.
"Huh? …”
Yu He turned his head to look.
A small shadow hung over the two of them, and the girl held the handle of the umbrella in one hand and said with a soft smile:
"I've got an umbrella with me."
"Is this your first time here?"
"I came here once when I was a kid, but that was many years ago......
The girl held an umbrella in one hand and gently raised her eyebrows to look at the end of the sky.
"Is that ......?"
Yu He turned his gaze, and then realized something.
From the moment they met, until this time, they may not have known anything about the girl named Ji Xi.
Whether it is grades, personality or posture, it is almost perfect, but what she feels in her is a touch of extreme lightness, almost imperceptible sense of disobedience......
Unlike ordinary people, it has nothing to do with external factors such as identity and appearance, in a sense, it may be the essential difference of being a 'person'.
Abnormal, it wasn't until the moment Yu He saw her pupils that it was finally confirmed-
The girl named Ji Xi is essentially different from ordinary people.
Unlike Tongyu's colorless and transparent pupils, they are as dark as the night, as deep as the sea of stars, but they can't reflect anything.
It's like an empty desert, without a single thing, without a trace of temperature, without a touch of color......
It was as if there was an invisible barrier separating the world from the outside world, and no one could touch it.
A sixteen-year-old girl with an extraordinary background, outstanding appearance, and a weak personality.
…………
"Na...... Can your pupils really reflect the world? ……”
