Chapter 85: Shen Yingying's Sixteenth Birthday
In a distant Martian city, the line between truth and fiction is blurred.
Of course.
Most people living in underground cities struggle in a cruel and difficult living environment. Only a few people occasionally think about whether the sunlight shining on them is real sunlight or simulated light. Both of them will
What are the differences?
According to the engineers and scientists who originally designed Fire City, there is no difference between urban simulated lighting and real sunlight on the human body.
But if you are used to the simulated lighting in the city and forget the real sunlight... It would be a bit sad for a person who has never left the underground city since he was a child and has never been exposed to the sun in his life.
...
The solar light tower rises slowly, like a giant umbrella unfolding, but the umbrella is on the desert outside the Mars base, and the people in Fire City can only see the silver-white metal body that is opened section by section.
It's a new day.
The urban heating and air-conditioning systems in the underground city are activated, bringing warmth. Sanitation workers on the roadside are cleaning up some corpses. They are homeless people who did not endure the brutal cold last night. For these poor people, the Fire City
Dawn came too late.
There is an inconspicuous road in the notorious Detroit area called Roger Avenue. At the end of this road is an unfinished construction site, and next to it stands an ordinary-looking bookstore.
Qin Wei pushed open the door of the bookstore, and the wet morning mist outside made her feel refreshed.
"It would be nice if it snowed." It is now December, the end of the year 2327, and Qin Wei, who comes from an upper-class family, has experienced the scenery of falling snow like goose feathers in a virtual scene.
Turn the door sign to the open side.
Qin Wei returned to the bookstore, made a cup of hot coffee, and then randomly selected a book on emotional literature, preparing to spend a pleasant morning.
After a while, Tosaburo walked down again. He was going on a long trip today and planned to go to the black market to purchase some prosthetics for body modification.
It turns out that this kind of work used to be done by black Mal...
"Is there enough money?" Qin Wei asked.
"I didn't bring any money." Dongsaburo replied, "With my name, it's easy to get a loan of 10 million. It's easy."
Hearing this, Qin Wei smiled knowingly, didn't say anything more, and just took a sip of coffee.
Sakaki Bookstore is opened on such a street. Except for some drunk and brainless gangsters at the beginning, basically no customers cross the threshold for a whole day on weekdays.
But at noon, a black SUV car drove up.
Several titanium and manufacturing workers got off the car and placed a pile of various items in front of the bookstore's door like unloading goods.
"oh?"
Qin Wei, who was sitting in the booth, raised her eyebrows.
She saw an elegant nanmu wardrobe and recognized it as a high-end brand. In addition, there were also antique-like record players and other items that were not in line with the times but were popular among the upper class and were valuable.
.
Then, Qin Wei received a call and learned that these were the belongings of the Shen family.
On the phone, Qin Hai only said that the property had returned to its original owner, and that these were part of what Shen Jianye had lost to him in the casino. He did not mention Qin Wei again, nor did he talk about what happened to Shen Ran.
There was not even a single unnecessary word between father and daughter, and they hung up the phone.
Qin Wei called Shen Ran again,
"Shen Ran, your things have arrived."
...
"Huh~"
Although there is city heating during the day in the Fire City in December, the air temperature still does not exceed ten degrees. In the abandoned warehouse on the construction site, Shen Ran took off his clothes, with his upper body naked, and was performing strange movements and postures one after another.
His breath turned into mist, and his black hair seemed to be soaked by rain. The large amount of heat evaporated from his naked upper body blurred the air, making it weird to see.
Shen Ran is undergoing a "recovery" movement.
This body is a new body that has been reorganized with the flesh-editing technology of another world, and it will take some time to improve its applicability to the "seed".
The good thing is:
I don’t know whether it’s the specialness of this body or the specialness of the “seed”, but the process went very quickly.
Shen Ran stepped on the ground with one foot, stretched his right leg straight in the air, and spread his arms at the same time, assuming a golden rooster independent posture.
After only ten breaths, his left leg muscles began to tremble abnormally.
There is a source of heat being channeled...
Two hours later, Shen Ran ended the daily practice of San Qi Body Protection Kung Fu.
He walked straight to a part of the construction site, turned on the faucet, and then rinsed his sweaty and stinky body. Then he picked up the mobile phone beside him and learned that Qin Hai had sent over some of the Shen family's old belongings.
"knew."
Shen Ran simply replied with three words and ignored it.
To me, Shen Jianye cannot be said to be a kind grandfather, and of course he is not too hostile. As for those objects, he doesn't care too much.
Those old things from the old Shen family can be given to Auntie sometime.
Shen Ran drank an energy drink, changed clothes, and entered the safe-like room.
Log in to Deep Blue Network.
Zhao Qi called with 4,000 dark blue points. In addition, there were dozens of private messages.
Shen Ran had witnessed a person's transformation from initial doubt, to urgency, to anger.
Xu Qing was right. For that federal colonel, Shen Ran was indeed a bit like Diao Kaizi. You think you are Cinderella and disappear after twelve o'clock, right?
Of course Shen Ran himself doesn't think so.
After thinking about it, he still replied: Colonel Zhao Qi, I dropped a shaped energy gun on the Soar starship. Can you convert it into dark blue value and return it to me?
After sending this message, Shen Ran had no plans to explore the Deep Blue World for the time being. He only went online to see the income of 4000 points of Deep Blue Value, and immediately logged out again.
...
"4000 points of dark blue value! 4000 points of dark blue value!"
Opening his eyes from the room, Shen Ran felt excited. This was countless times more powerful than the money earned by bounty hunters.
I had 450 dark blue points left before, but now I have 4450 dark blue points.
If Zhao Qi is willing to give himself the 700 dark blue value of the energy-gathering gun, that would be 5150 dark blue value!
Shen Ran almost counted on his fingers and calculated carefully.
"It makes you stronger so fast."
As Shen Ran walked out of the room, he thought to himself, "If I really have 5150 dark blue points in my hand, I should be able to greatly improve my abilities."
"You can also choose a more difficult challenge in the next Deep Blue World..."
"However, let's deal with the real things first."
Shen Ran suppressed those thoughts again.
There are currently more problems that need to be solved.
The first is to find a way to send aunt and Shen Yingying to the earth; the second is to find a relationship with the Juche Party, including his own position in the Fire City.
The second point is also very important, because it is impossible for me to break away from reality. I can cultivate into the so-called great power that can smash a planet with a slap just by relying on the deep blue world.
It is best to deal with your own path in the Fire City and complement your development in the Deep Blue World.
Return to the bookstore.
Seeing a bunch of objects at the gate, were these the things that his prodigal grandfather got away with... Shen Ran thought, took out his cell phone and dialed Shen Yingying's number.
What he didn't expect was that,
Shen Yingying muttered on the phone, "I thought you forgot..."
"Forgot what?" Shen Ran had a strange look on his face before he could say anything about the old antique from the Shen family placed at his feet.
"It's my birthday."
