In front of him was the snow-white ceiling, which blended perfectly with the slightly old and simple ceiling lamp, forming the familiar bedroom ceiling of Jinyun.
Jinyun lay flat on the bed. The soft mattress and thick quilt seemed to suck his entire body in.
My head felt extremely heavy, as if countless needles were pricking it.
His thoughts were like cotton soaked in alcohol, chaotic and disordered. The dizziness and pain of a hangover raged in his head, causing Jinyun to cover his forehead involuntarily.
He turned off the alarm clock and checked the time. It was only 8 o'clock.
Normally he has to get up at seven o'clock to make breakfast for his family. This is the time when he takes his mother out for a walk. Because he drank too much, he was unable to get up early today.
Jinyun thought of the dream he had last night and glanced at the figurines on the table.
Whether it is Mirror Ryu or Bronya, both figures stand quietly in their original positions.
The scenes in the dream were so realistic that he still hasn't recovered from the shock.
Those dreams...
Whether in the past or now, once is normal, twice is an accident, and three times is a coincidence.
But he has had similar dreams several times. Can this really be explained as a coincidence?
Is it necessary for me to find a fortune teller to interpret the meaning of my dream?
After calming down for a while, Jinyun held his head, dragged his tired body, lifted the quilt, got out of bed and put on his shoes.
He came to the living room and saw fresh steamed buns on the table, with a glass of milk next to them.
There was no one at home. My mother must have gone out for a walk alone. She knew she had drunk too much last night, so she didn't wake him up.
My dad, on the other hand, drank so much last night, but he was still able to get up on time this morning and go to work at the construction site.
Originally, Jinyun had enough money on hand to enjoy his retirement life, but in the eyes of the older generation, people will become lazy if they don't work, and will feel uncomfortable if they are idle.
What's more, the 900,000 yuan left after returning from the trip was not much. It was not enough to buy even an apartment in a big city. Jinhua felt that he was far from retirement age.
Seeing his father still working so hard at the age of nearly 60, Jinyun felt helpless.
But he also knew that his father wanted to earn more capital for himself while he was still able to work, so that he could marry a wife and raise children in the future.
In Jinhua's view, his wife has lost the ability to make money, so the responsibility of earning money for his son's wife falls entirely on him.
Jinyun went to the bathroom and washed his face to make himself feel much more awake.
The buns on the table were still warm, so he didn't use the microwave and ate them with milk.
Because he has no job, Jinyun's main task during this period is to accompany his mother.
In the morning, he would prepare meals for his family, watch TV and talk with his mother, and then take her out for a walk.
In the afternoon, at my mother's urging, I would go to Yunxi's clinic to help out.
Although I don't get paid, it feels good to be able to work under the same roof with Sister Xi.
Jinyun came to the clinic humming a song. It was still early and there was no one in the clinic except Yunxi.
Yun Xi was busy reconciling accounts with a ledger. She sat sideways, supporting her cheek with one hand. Her two long legs, tightly wrapped in tight jeans, were casually crossed, and her slender waist bent into a charming and seductive curve.
In addition to disinfectant, there were also bursts of fresh and elegant fragrance floating in the air, slowly drifting into Jinyun's nose.
These scents are like a mixture of floral scents, but if you smell them carefully, you can smell the refreshing, fresh and natural fruity aroma.
"What are you standing there for? Go help me unload those boxes of medicine from the car."
While Yun Xi was calculating the bills, she slowly and methodically smoothed the hair on her forehead. As her bare hands moved, her natural and charming beauty came into full play.
How come this old woman is getting younger and younger...
"Sister Xi."
"explain."
"Are you some kind of monster that sucks people's energy? Like a fox spirit?"
"Yes, are you satisfied? Go quickly."
Yun Xi didn't even bother to raise his eyes and just casually responded to Jin Yun's joke, his emerald green eyes fixed on the account book.
"You're dying of laughter. I was just kidding you. Even if you really are a monster, you should be an old cat, a lucky cat at that. You're so obsessed with money."
Jinyun complained as he walked to the parking area behind the clinic.
Yun Xi's new black luxury car was parked there. As soon as he approached, the rear hood automatically lifted up.
"Wow, interesting."
Jinyun smiled and leaned into the trunk, picking up the two boxes of medicine in his hands:
"I didn't expect that the second-hand car Sister Xi mentioned was actually quite smart. Before I even got close, the door opened by itself... Hey hey hey!?"
Before he could finish his words, the lifted car body suddenly fell down with a "bang". Fortunately, the force was not very strong, otherwise he would have saved the money for hospital registration and the used car would have been turned into a coffin.
"I go."
Jinyun lifted the hood again and stepped out, cursing: "No wonder Sister Xi kept calling it a broken car. With this quality, I'm afraid someday..."
"Bang, bang, bang!"
"..."
The sudden twist of the black car gave Jinyun a bad feeling.
Why is this broken car acting so weird? Is Sister Xi playing a prank on me?
He raised his head and looked at the surveillance camera at the back of the clinic. Through it, Yun Xi could see his every move.
"That old woman..."
Jinyun felt a little embarrassed, picked up the medicine box again and returned to the clinic:
"Hey, Sister Xi, could you please stop..."
Before he finished speaking, Jinyun, who was halfway through complaining, suddenly stopped.
Yun Xi was still sitting behind the desk in the clinic, her eyes slightly closed as she dozed off, her crystal clear little nose rising and falling slightly with her steady breathing.
The early spring sunshine slanted in through the window lattice, passed through Yun Xi's hair, and rippled downward in circles like ripples on a lake. Her face, as white and flawless as a peeled egg, looked even more vivid under the sunlight.
The slightly closed eyelids, the clear face, the cinnabar-red lips, and even the curve of the corners of the mouth are so perfect that they can outline a stunning scene.
Jinyun suddenly felt that it was really unfair for a woman like Yunxi who was not of this worldly nature to have to work in this small clinic and live in this old house.
If I make money in the future, I will never treat her unfairly.
Thinking of this, he opened the door of the rest room and carefully placed the medicine box where the medicines were piled.
Then he picked up the thin blanket folded on the small bed, went outside, and tiptoed to Yun Xi's side.
As the distance shortened, the elegant fragrance from the other person became stronger, as if an invisible hand was constantly plucking Jinyun's heartstrings.
Looking at the other person's flawless white face, Jinyun took a deep breath, resisted the urge to kiss her, and covered her with a thin blanket.
These days Yun Xi is basically busy until very late every day and has to get up early in the morning, so it is inevitable that he will fall asleep due to tiredness.
I hope she doesn't have to come to work at this time so that she can sleep more.
As soon as this thought flashed through Jinyun's mind, the landline phone on his desk rang at an inopportune time.
Gan!
Yun Xi opened his eyes in an instant, picked up the microphone, and held it to his ear:
"Hello, this is the clinic."
"Yes, um, okay, I'll be right there."
After speaking a few brief words, Yun Xi put down the receiver, stood up, and the thin blanket on his body fell to the ground.
She was slightly stunned for a second, then glanced at Jinyun beside her, with an unnoticeable flash of joy in her eyes:
"Did I just fall asleep?"
"Yes, this call came at a really bad time," Jinyun scratched his hair and looked away uncomfortably, "You want to go out?"
"Well, Aunt Chen who sells jelly on East Street, her son has a fever. I'll go check it out and I'll be back soon."
"Oh."
"Close the shop when I'm not around, and don't prescribe medicine to patients on your own initiative. The little you've learned might harm others."
"Yes, yes, please stop being so mean, okay? I'm not as bad as you say I am."
Jinyun complained as he watched Yunxi leave, then pulled down the shutter of the clinic.
I have been feeling very sleepy lately and I have to get up early in the morning. Yun Xi’s medical consultation will probably take half an hour, so he can take this opportunity to take a short nap.
He returned to the rest room in the clinic, lay down on the bed, and was just about to take a nap when a message alert suddenly came from his mobile phone.
He turned on the screen and what popped up in the notification bar was a message from the "Supporting Humanity" app that he hadn't opened for a long time.
Jinyun glanced at the content and was immediately shocked:
Dear players, hello:
[It has been 89 days and 16 hours since your last login. This game is still in the testing phase and the internal testing qualifications are very limited]
[If you do not log in for more than three months, our company will regard you as giving up the internal test qualification and revoke your login permission]
[If the test cannot be continued due to force majeure, you can send us feedback by email and we will extend the period by up to three months at our discretion]
【We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause】
Oh my god, because of my mom's affairs, I haven't had the heart to play games in the past three months. The only product I used is the AR glasses given by Star Network.
However, he has never used that thing to log into the game, so it is not counted by Star Network.
Well, come to think of it, the timing is perfect. My mother has just survived this crisis, and now he has time to get back into the game.
"Oh, right, the helmet was left here by Sister Xi after it was used. Let me take a look. It should be here... Hey, got it!"
He rummaged through the boxes under the bed and actually found a VR helmet from the box.
Although I haven't used it for a long time, the battery is still healthy, so I can log in directly.
Unfortunately, the motion feedback suit is at my home, so I won’t wear it this time. I’ll go in and take a look and save the test qualification first.
Jinyun put on the VR helmet, took a deep breath, and logged into the game.
As the dazzling white light on the screen in front of him faded away, Jinyun's body once again found itself in the familiar gorgeous garden.
This is "Eden", the place where life was born.
[Dear master, welcome back to "Supporting Humanity"]
[It has been 89 days since your last login. Are you having any trouble? ]
The digital projection of AI assistant 02 slowly emerged. It had been a long time since he heard her voice, and Jinyun actually felt a little nostalgic.
"Well, I did run into trouble, but luckily it's been resolved... well, probably."
[Your complexion doesn’t look good, but it’s not bad either. I can give you a simple physical and mental checkup.]
[This requires you to give me permission to monitor my pulse, blood pressure, etc. Do you need it? ]
"Not for now, let's take a look at the game first. Wasn't I promoted to senior administrator when I left last time? I'll take a look at the guide first!"
[OK, this will open the guide for you]
As 02 finished speaking, a virtual guide that looked like a manual appeared in front of Jinyun.
The manual only had a few pages, so Jinyun finished reading it quickly.
There is actually not much difference between senior administrators and ordinary administrators.
However, there are indeed several additional important permissions, such as world travel, space customization, and pause function.
World traveling means that Jinyun can now travel freely between two worlds or even multiple worlds.
It is equivalent to that when developing a character, he can bring that character to a different world and enjoy a different life.
To give a simple example, he can bring the characters from Honkai Impact 3rd to the Honkai Impact rd world to develop them. If he wants, he can even travel to Honkai Impact rd in the morning, to the Ark in the afternoon, and to the other world in the evening.
Of course, the prerequisite is that this game owns the copyright of the anime works in the other world.
