24.2 per cent for option I, 12.1 per cent for option two, 6.1 per cent for option three, 9.1 per cent for option four, 39.4 per cent for option five and 9.1 per cent for option six.

……

[Option 5]

【A town that looks ordinary at first glance】

……

"Mean—everybody thinks a mundane town is the safest—"

Zheng Zhuo's first reaction was not to follow the option with the largest number of people.

He didn't call it out! This time, it's obvious that this software jumped out on its own, I'm afraid it's not some conspiracy.

“……”

But Zheng Zhuo's head, which was blown from high altitude, couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Rather, he himself felt that the town looked the most normal.

Zheng Zhuo looked down.

It is said that if you fall from a high enough place, the sea will become as hard as concrete......

"Alright! A small town is a small town! The town !! ”

He struggled to move in the direction of the town. Soon, he felt himself speeding up.

In the whistling wind, Zheng Zhuo lost consciousness.

……

…………

………………

When Zheng Zhuo came back to his senses, he was standing blankly at the entrance of a small town.

I...... What were you doing?

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the town's paths, the wind blew with the smell of grass, and his head moved slowly.

Yes, that's right, he's here to travel. Next, he was going to stay at a hotel in the town......

Zheng Zhuo walked in and looked at the old plaques on the top of the house in turn.

There are not many pedestrians in the town and there are not many houses. Soon, he found the only inn in town.

The inn looks a little old, and the exterior presents just the right amount of rundown. It's just like this town.

"Haha, I seem to be looking for a store lately."

As he spoke, Zheng Zhuo himself was stunned for a moment.

Recent?

When?

Remember, I applied for a job at a supermarket......

"Ahh

Zheng Zhuo raised his head suddenly. He remembered everything.

After losing his job, he went to the supermarket to apply for a job, and there, he encountered the loss of control of the mobile phone software. After returning home, I was sent here by mobile phone software.

“……”

Cell phone.

When Zheng Zhuo thought of this word, the display screen of the software appeared on his left side, startling him.

He hurriedly looked left and right. Two pedestrians walked behind him and glanced strangely at Zheng Zhuo, who suddenly turned around.

It seems that other people can't see the display.

Zheng Zhuo looked at the page again.

The part of the subconscious world is fixed, changing from a swirling color to a panorama of the town. There is also a line at the very top of it:

【Small Town World】

To the right of the town world, there is also a card covered. The card shows a man wearing a pilot's hat and holding a telescope and a map.

There is a small line of print below the card.

【Explorer】

……

Explorer?

Zheng Zhuo didn't know what this meant. His mind moved, and the page turned.

[Subliminal Voting] is revealed.

This page is the same as before.

……

Is this a very realistic dream?

Zheng Zhuo was completely unable to think of a reasonable explanation for the current situation. He walked into the inn blankly.

A very lively entrance. On the left-hand side is the staircase upwards, and on the right-hand side is the counter. Behind the counter......

Behind the counter.

It's people who don't think about it.

……

"Schoolgirls in the small supermarket!?"

Zheng Zhuo couldn't help but scream.

That's right. Behind the counter is undoubtedly the female student wearing black-rimmed glasses and having a mushroom head cut when Zheng Zhuo applied for a store in reality.

"Hello?"

The schoolgirl looked a little confused. Zheng Zhuo has also seen this expression. As he yelled that his phone was on fire and rushed out of the store.

"You...... You don't know me? ”

“……”

"Ah, nothing. I'm here to stay at the hotel. My name is Zheng Zhuo. ”

Zheng Zhuo hurriedly covered up the past.

"I'll see...... Yes. It's Mr. Zheng Zhuo, who made an appointment by phone, right? ”

Zheng Zhuo doesn't remember calling to make an appointment. But he nodded.

"Your room is at 204. This is your key. ”

"Thank you."

Zheng Zhuo accepted the key handed to him by the female student. He heard the voice behind the counter, probably the kitchen, "Is there a guest coming?"

A bald head poked out.

It is the manager of the mini-supermarket.

Zheng Zhuo was no longer as surprised as he had just been.

……

Back in the room, Zheng Zhuo took off all his clothes from head to toe, and carefully turned over every pocket.

The conclusion is hopeless: he took almost nothing with him.

No keys (except for the 204 keys I just received), no ID, not even a mobile phone. There was only one wallet on the whole body, and there were about 300 yuan scattered in it.

Three hundred dollars. In the end, if the store manager asked him to pay for the room, he couldn't afford it.

The only thing Zheng Zhuo can be happy about now is probably the only thing left is that he still speaks Chinese.

"Hey...... Cell phone. ”

He said.

Now, he finally discovered one thing: as soon as he said or thought of the word "mobile phone", the software called "Collective Subconscious" would appear out of thin air, as if he had turned on some kind of stereoscopic projection.

"Huh?"

Zheng Zhuo, who opened this page again, suddenly found something different.

A green 100% progress bar appears under [Town World].

The 100% progress bar is now only a little progressive. There are also numbers at the end.

2.3%。

……

What does that mean? Zheng Zhuo thought in his heart, "Spare me, I'm not good at using my brain", and he had to start thinking.

Percent progress bar. It's gone up a bit, does it mean your progress? Or did you do something when you arrived here?

If you want to talk about what you've done......

I only saw the boss and the boss's daughter at the door.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhuo got up abruptly and ran out-

— and then ran back and started getting dressed.

……

Zheng Zhuo took three steps and made two steps, jumped down the stairs, and landed in front of the female student who was holding a large bundle of curtains and was about to go to clean.

"Ahh

"Excuse me!"

Zheng Zhuo stretched out his hand.

"Scares you...... I'm really sorry to scare you a second time. Ah, you shouldn't remember the first time. No, no, that's not the point. I would like to ask some questions...... Uh, um, about hostels and ...... Surrounding tourist attractions, and so on. ”

He asked, but instead of looking directly at the schoolgirl, he stared at his left front as if there was something there.

Zheng Zhuo is even more like a suspicious person than a suspicious person. Schoolgirls are clearly a good person, though.

After a long period of suffocating silence, she answered Zheng Zhuo's inappropriate question.

……

Really.

When Zheng Zhuo returned to the room again, he showed his first smile since coming here.

After pestering the schoolgirls to ask about the local location, cultural conditions, focus on economic development, attractions and landscapes, the new progress bar increased from 2.3% to 6.9%.

According to Zheng Zhuo's observations, not all problems will grow in the progress bar. Problems that make the progress bar grow will also contribute to the progress bar growth.

However, Zheng Zhuo knows at least one thing: the more he knows about this world, the more progress he will make.

That's great! It seems that as soon as I learn more about the world, the progress bar will become 100%.

After it becomes 100%, it should be good, right? Maybe I'll be able to go back then.

Good! Ask the whole town tomorrow!

I'm amazing at being able to think of a way so quickly.

Zheng Zhuo laughed alone in the dark room. It didn't take long for him to fall asleep contentedly.

……

Zheng Zhuo slept well until he was woken up by the sound of the bell.

Knock, knock, knock.

The bell echoed in the night sky, striking a full twelve.

“…… Hiss...... ...... ring the bell in the middle of the night? ”

Zheng Zhuo covered his head and sat up from the bed.

A faint white light lit up in the room. The strange window opened on its own as he woke up.

Zheng Zhuo saw at first glance that at the bottom of the [Small Town World] - below the progress bar, there was an extra line of words.

……

Winner of the night:

【Joker】

……

And at the same time.

He saw the green progress bar turn red.

The percentage is decreasing.

from 6.9% to 4.1%.
