3. The city that never sleeps
In the bedroom of the room on the first floor of the top floor, a silver-white game hatch with a sci-fi atmosphere slowly opened, and Feng Luo, who was wearing only underwear, revealed his sturdy body.
Standing on the top floor of this building that is enough to make the legs of people with fear of heights weak, looking at the huge single-sided translucent nano window in front of him, there are two silver moons in the sky, one large and one small, and some nostalgic emotions flashed in Fengluo's heart.
Yes, two moons!
Because here, not the Earth!
The seventeenth administrative star, the full name is the seventeenth administrative star of the Celestial Star Federation, which is a planet that Fengluo does not know where it is in the universe, and has a relatively similar environment to the earth, which is suitable for human survival.
Fengluo was not originally from this planet, but from the Earth of the 21st century, and his identity was an international mercenary who worked for money.
The pyramid collapsed when he was hired by a wealthy Saudi businessman and a group of men to protect several archaeologists to go into an underground pyramid in Egypt that had never been exposed before to get what the wealthy merchant wanted.
Everyone was buried by the collapsed pyramid, but he was sucked into a black vortex by a black whirlpool, and then came into this world.
It was a world that felt strange to him, but very familiar.
It is strange because the technology of this world is extremely developed, and human beings have mastered the space transition technology and entered the interstellar age.
The Celestial Star Federation currently has more than 20 political stars, thousands of resource planets, and a huge starfleet. All this is impossible to achieve in hundreds of years with the scientific and technological progress of the 21st century!
And to say familiar, because this world and the earth are absolutely inextricably linked.
The most obvious proof is that the official language of the Celestial Star Federation is seventy percent similar to Chinese. Moreover, there is a language and writing similar to English in this world.
In addition, from various aspects such as architectural style and living habits, Fengluo can also find out the clues of "earth". However, what puzzled him was that people in the world had never heard of the term "earth", and they couldn't even search for it on the Internet.
"Otherworldly? Through? Parallel worlds? ”
Fengluo had considered many possibilities, but could not come up with any of them.
So much so that he wondered if the so-called "Earth", the so-called international mercenaries, was it just an experience he had imagined? Maybe he's actually a severely mentally ill person in this world?
However, the necklace pendant he hung on his chest, made of the task item he held in his hand, and the cold feeling when it touched his skin, reminded him that his previous experience was definitely not a hallucination.
Half a year ago, the sci-fi virtual game "Wars" was released throughout the Federation, and the pictures exposed during the publicity made Fengluo affirm the truth of the first half of his life.
Type 99, Apache, F-22, AK47, Cobra, Stinger......
The familiar names and shapes of the weapons make the memories of the "past life" that have gradually become blurred because of living in this world for three years clear again.
In the eyes of people in this world, these military equipment are nothing more than a piece of equipment in the virtual world, something that game designers have imagined.
Then he knew that these things did exist in the other world!
He can even recall a time when he was on a mission in an Arab country, a teammate from the retired United States Marine Corps, with a grim smile and blood stains on his face, used his shoulder-resistant "Stinger" to blast a vaunted "Apache" above his head into a ball of fire.
That feeling, deadly and exciting!
So Fengluo entered "War Chronicle" for the first time, because perhaps, this game can solve some mysteries in his heart.
After doing more than 100 bench-ups on the floor, Fengluo entered the bathroom covering an area of 30 square meters to take a shower and change clothes, picked up a black windbreaker jacket, and opened the electronic door lock.
Then take the elevator to the hovercar parking lot located on the 100th floor of the building, catch a hovercar and drive to the destination.
――――
"The city that never sleeps!"
The colorful neon lights and the large golden letters on the large light screen show what this luxurious building covering thousands of square meters but only ten stories high is for.
"Brother Feng! There you are! ”
Fengluo, who was wearing a black coat, walked into the door, standing by the door, several sexy figures, dressed in blue and purple cheongsam, and painted with thick or light makeup, immediately bowed to him with a smile on their faces.
"Brother Feng!"
Several tall strong men in black suits and sunglasses in the hall also nodded respectfully to Fengluo.
"Hmm!"
After the wind fell casually, he stepped on the revolving escalator to the second floor.
The content of this world's entertainment city is almost the same as that of the eponymous venue on the planet, the only difference is that because of the advanced technology, illegal drugs such as drugs are almost extinct here.
Because people can directly experience all kinds of novel experiences that are not much different from the real ones in the virtual world with the help of sensory nerve simulation, it is naturally not necessary to seek stimulation with the help of drugs that have huge side effects on the body.
So, in a sense, this kind of entertainment place is more formal and clean than it was in the 21st century.
Of course, there are still some special transactions that are only between people.
The reason why Fengluo came here is because he works in the reality of this world, and he is the manager of this city that never sleeps. To be precise, it is the kind of deputy manager who is suspended from his job and has a salary and dividends, but does not actually use it to work.
However, despite its name, Fengluo still comes here every once in a while, stopping by a bar on the second floor or a fitness club on the fifth floor.
As for the underground casino on the first floor and the black boxing arena on the second floor, he didn't have much interest.
However, when he walked into the bar he frequented on the second floor, he found that the atmosphere in the bar seemed to be different from usual. The people inside didn't drink and chat, and no one danced, but the big branch was standing around the stage in the middle, as if watching something lively.
"The new event that Brother Wu has prepared, to get the equipment from "War Chronicles" to be auctioned in the bar, has been going on for a few days, and more and more people are coming every night."
Walking to the bar, the bartender in a tuxedo dress poured a glass of wine for Fengluo, and the words in his mouth cleared Fengluo's doubts.
Brother Wu's name is Mu Wu, and he is the manager of this entertainment city and the real manager. He is less than 30 years old, but he is very shrewd and skillful.
Of course, there must be a backstage, otherwise an ordinary person would not be able to sit firmly in such a position.
"Auction game gear? Mu Wu's idea is a bit new! ”
Holding a glass of alcoholic drink known as the "Blue Starry Sky" in this world, Fengluo sat in a position by the bar and looked out at the middle of the stage.
I saw a tall and tall bewitching beauty on the stage, wearing a sexy fiery red bunny girl costume, and her appearance after makeup was enough to score eighty-five points, and her face was flushed with excitement, presiding over the auction of game equipment.
"Mr. Fang's bid is three thousand three!"
"Ah, this new gentleman is so generous with three thousand six. It's three thousand six times, and there is no gentleman who wants to increase the price! ”
"Huh? Boss He actually bid again, three thousand eight times! ”
Listening only to these provocative words is undoubtedly misleading for some kind of carnal bargaining.
Especially with the long legs of a rabbit girl dressed in fiery red makeup, a long leg of one meter, a flushed face that shows a slight sweat, and a flaming red lip that opens and closes between words, and charming eyes, it also tempts the men who occupy the majority of the audience to surge up and down, and breathe rapidly.
"This herdsman, there really is a set!"
Fengluo rotated the wine glass in his hand and smiled slightly.
