017 Rusty Sun

Bai Zhe sank his heart, cleared his thoughts, and the first scene of the dream became clear in his mind. The light of the Dream Shadow flashed a few times, and it began to collect data from the memory screen.

The starting point of the dream was a snowy day seven years ago.

He remembered the snow because it was New Year's, January 1.

There was heavy snow in the sky, and the air was icy and biting, but the shopping street was still crowded.

He sat alone on the edge of the flower bed, with a snow-capped artificial metal tree behind him.

In fact, Bai Zhe's sense of belonging to the Lunar New Year is slightly stronger. But in the past, when I was in a welfare school, there were students who had any version of the New Year, and in the end, they all celebrated it on New Year's Day.

The appearance of the pedestrian in the dream is blurry, and his attention is focused on the holographic dynamic advertisements that fill the storefronts and the snowflakes falling from the sky.

He saved up some money this year and plans to buy one or two affordable electronic devices.

He wants to change to a small terminal with high-definition projection, wants to buy VR and AR equipment, and the portable drone and rocket skateboard also look tempting.

Bai Zhe couldn't remember the specific thoughts at that time, but the nervousness and anticipation seemed to be still in his subconscious, emerging in the dream.

But what he wanted most was a customized back-of-head interface for NEIR patients. Once the interface is implanted, he will be able to experience the Dream Shadow like everyone else. Looking directly at the stereoscopic image, there is a big difference between the effect and the immersive multi-sensory experience.

But he only saved one or two thousand yuan, which was not enough to buy a custom interface. Buy one first, or continue to save money, so that the boy is extremely entangled.

The sun slowly rose from behind the clouds, the mild sunlight neutralized the cold, and the snowflakes shrouded in a thin halo.

He tilted his head, feeling the tiny, cold touch on his face, the light passing through the metal branches across his hair and shirt.

He thought that if he could save enough money by playing a few more times at the Colosseum next year, some viewers would love to watch people with no prosthetic transformation in the gladiatorial fight.

There was a slight change in the light around them.

He stood up and walked to the side of the street to look at the sky. A large, irregular reddish-brown spot appeared on the edge of the sun.

The shopping street became dead silent, and the crowd froze into statues at this moment, leaving him alone in the street.

Woo-woo————

The bright corona exploded through the molten golden mist, and a dull roar suddenly unleashed from the sun wheel.

He covered his eyes and ears, the ground shook slightly in the sound waves, and the glass of the storefront on the street cracked in patches.

The loud noise made people subconsciously think that it was some kind of roar, because they could feel the intense emotions, anger, and pain in it.

He watched as the dull scar spread rapidly across the sun's surface, like a large patch of rust.

The light is stained with rust, giving it a dull and decaying texture, and everything in view becomes extremely strange.

Uh-hmmh

He couldn't understand the meaning of the roar, only felt his scalp tingle.

It is not like the roar of a human beast, not the sound of wind and thunder in nature, not the noise of giant machinery running.

Grandiose, lonely, fiery, profound.

He couldn't help but feel that if the distant stars could make sounds, it should be so.

The reddish-brown rust patches are getting bigger and bigger, the air is getting extremely cold, and a violent snowstorm is sweeping through the city.

He had never experienced such a cold winter day, and he felt that his bone marrow was about to freeze and solidify, so he hurriedly ran under the eaves of a clothing store and took shelter from the wind.

On the sky, the rusty sun continued to explode, escaping a skirt-like halo from it, and dark rust fragments peeled off from the surface.

An even more violent roar followed, with waves of sound and light and heat.

The rusted sun wheel above the head seems to have reached some equilibrium. The area of the reddish brown spot could not expand any further, and it cracked into debris in the roar of the sun.

This is similar to the appearance of the Tinder icon in the delegate screen.

The snowflakes began to be mixed with tiny reddish-brown debris, and the snow was stained a dark red of rust.

He watched as the red rust accompanied by heavy snow covered the entire Star City.

Holographic advertisements, neon signs, and the light in the city are also infected with rust spots, transforming into the same decayed texture as the sun.

The sun roared in the sky, and the snow and rust on the ground grew deeper and deeper.

Everything before him was rusting and decaying.

The blurred faces of pedestrians are rusty, the streets are empty and dilapidated, towering buildings are crumbling and crumbling, and metal trees in flower beds are eroded and withered.

The remnants of the lights flickered on and off among the rusty cities, echoing the roar of the rusty sun.

He still roared, unwilling to extinguish.

————————

It's noisy.

Bai Zhe even felt that his ears were noisy even when he was looking back at his dreams.

He was actually yelled at by the sun father-in-law, what is this special thing?

Disconnected from the Nightmare, it is estimated that it will take two hours to generate the raw footage.

The quality of the footage this time is certainly high, but that's not where the problem he faces.

The difference between the new party and Kalehein is also too big, and it really has nothing to do with Jingmei or anything.

He looked like a rusty sun, and he was very loud. It can't really be a stellar lifeform.

Bai Zhe opened the creative assistant and renamed the commission to [Rusty Sun: Sook]. Sook was a few consecutive syllables he heard in the middle, and most of the others were indescribable howls.

He is now a little numb from being yelled at, his brain is numb, and his thoughts are messed up.

Unlike Kuroshio, which has a peculiar appearance and a solemn beauty, Sooko's appearance does not make much of an effort.

His signature features are mainly a peculiar roaring sound and a red rust that can cause decay.

If he directly made it into a dream shadow, let the viewer be yelled at by the sun for twenty minutes...... That's really art, performance art.

Bai Zhe stared at the commission interface and began to have a headache for creative ideas.

Woo - Woo - Woo -

The tinder icon roared twice more coldly, which made his brain hurt.

He hurriedly turned on the mute, and the icon immediately yelled at him at two or three times the volume, so frightened that Bai Zhe immediately stopped muting.

Why, why can't you be a high-level and beautiful unknown life form like Kalehin.

[Accept the commission/reject the commission, countdown 23:59:59]

It can only be delayed for a day at most. Bai Zhe did not continue to put it on hold, clicked to accept the commission, and started the countdown of the 40-day creative time limit.

Although the new client is a bit weird, the creation commission still has to be accepted normally. Even if you fail, you don't have much to lose, so what kind of work is not to do.

Wait, if this commission fails, you won't be chased by the customer in your dreams, right?

Thinking of this, Bai Zhe felt that his ears hurt even more.

He decided to take stock of his available funds first.

After this period of consumption and income, he still has 7,900 credits left on his account. The growth of viewership of "Gaze" has been slow, and the follow-up revenue will bring in about 500 at most.

Set aside 3,000 points for next month's rent, water and electricity, 800 points for basic food and drink, and the remaining funds are less than 5,000.

That's a big improvement from last month, when we were about to sleep on the streets, but the budget is still very tight.

Now it's not appropriate to continue to blow gold coins from the old man, you have to see the performance after a while and then talk to him, and we want to be sustainable.
