Chapter 79: Garbage Street (I)
"Lu Chongnian:
I'd like to wait a little longer regarding the gift. After all, I won't return anything you gave me, even if the copy forces me to return it!
We'll wait a little longer, if it turns out that when the worlds merge, the two of us really can't (cross out the whole sentence)
Just wait a little longer.
I look forward to the day when you give it to me personally."
"Muyu:
It was my grandfather's plan to let me go abroad. He believed that further studies abroad would be beneficial to the academic path I wanted to pursue, but I don't have this plan for the time being.
Maybe I will consider it after I graduate from college, but I will definitely discuss it with you then.
Recently I've been thinking about what would happen to us if the two worlds merged, but I think you already have the answer, and no matter what the answer is, you must have decided to move forward.
.I hope that one day, after leaving the dungeon, I can still see you and bump into you, even if it will be a very brief moment. "

Time quickly came to the end of October, and the weather was clear and cool.
After returning to the dormitory at noon, Mu Yu climbed into bed and went to sleep. He had no classes in the afternoon, so he slept until the evening. He was awakened by the buzzing of his cell phone.
At that time, the boss on the opposite bed was watching the movie, "Groundhog Day".
The male protagonist was trapped in the same daily cycle. At first he couldn't accept it, but later he gradually discovered the beauty of it and began to enjoy it all.
The movie just reached the part where the male protagonist was hypocritically flirting with the female protagonist, trying to seduce her by saying, "After today there will be a new today, and no one except me will remember what happened today." The female protagonist realized that he was not sincere and slapped her in the face.
The crisp sound made Mu Yu's mind suddenly clear up a little.
He rubbed his eyes and checked the messages on his phone.
One was just sent by my younger brother Gao Zhanyuan: "Brother Yu, today is the last day of our school anniversary. When will you come to Garbage Street? [Pathetic]"
He attached a photo in which he was wearing a pair of white cotton gloves that were covered in dust and holding a handful of skewers.
A lot of chili powder was sprinkled on the skewers, and the pieces of meat were oozing oil. The sizzling sound and spicy aroma seemed to penetrate the phone screen and float to Mu Yu. He swallowed hard.
…This guy knows how to seduce him.
Mu Yu turned around and asked the boss and the others: "Is there still a lot of people in Garbage Street today?"
The eldest brother answered without even turning his head: "Of course, the Culinary Academy is celebrating its three-day anniversary, and it's so crowded there. Why, do you want to go?"
The second and third children are playing games.
The second brother heard this and shouted anxiously: "If you go, bring me a bowl of hot and sour noodles!"
The third brother followed closely: "I want fried skewers and grilled cold noodles!"
Boss: "Fuck, then I want a tornado potato!"
Mu Yu: “.” These three people really spared no effort in ordering him to do things.
Garbage Street, also known as the University Student Food Street, is located in the northwest of Xinlian University Town, very close to the Xinlian City College of Culinary Technology.
The Culinary Institute has a tradition that on every school anniversary, the entire Garbage Street will be booked, and students will show off their cooking skills and sell various delicacies to tourists.
Of course the price is very low, just as a token of our appreciation, just for fun.
The last three days happened to be the 50th anniversary of the Culinary Institute. Gao Zhanyuan and his seniors rented a stall to sell skewers. They had been urging Mu Yu to go there since the day before yesterday, but Mu Yu had no time to go because of his full class schedule.
He thought for a moment and replied to Gao Zhanyuan: "OK, I'll be there soon. Please send me your booth number."
Gao Zhanyuan replied almost immediately, sending a string of numbers.
Mu Yu scrolled down the WeChat list again.
Mu Chenxi sent a message an hour ago: "I will go back to Medical University to give a presentation today. It will end at about 5:30. I will come to see you after it's over."
Mu Yu recalled the location of the Medical University, which was not far from Garbage Street.
It was almost half past five now, so he asked quickly, "Brother, is your work over now finished?"
Mu Chenxi quickly replied: "I was held up by the teacher. I may have to wait a while."
Mu Yu smiled immediately. His brother was very popular with teachers when he was still in school.
He said, "It's ok. Let's meet at Garbage Street later. My high school classmate is setting up a stall there these days to sell skewers. Brother, do you know where Garbage Street is?"
Mu Chenxi: "I graduated two years ago, not two hundred years ago [speechless]"
Mu Yu: “[Hippie smile.jpg]”
The small group of three people including him, Hong Yang and Ye Sui also had a brief moment of fun.
Hong Yang said in the group that she wanted to go to Garbage Street. Unfortunately, Ye Sui had a student union task today and had to "work overtime", so he couldn't go with her. Hong Yang tagged Mu Yu and asked him if he wanted to go.
After replying to Hong Yang, Mu Yu got out of bed and washed his face.
He put on his canvas bag and stuffed the devil coins, a pile of letters, the documents entrusted to him by Principal Dou, and other things into the bag one by one.
The eldest brother stood up to pour water. Seeing his scene, he was confused for a moment: "Are you going to Garbage Street to eat or to the school for evening self-study?"
Mu Yu adjusted his glasses, his face serious: "Boss, you don't understand."
Leaving his confused roommates behind, he waved and said, "Let's go!"
*
There is a commercial center in Xinlian University Town, and there is also a super large complex there, which cost a lot of money to build. But after so many years, that place is not even half as lively as Garbage Street.
Students gathered in groups and ran to places with a strong smell of fireworks. In addition to the garbage street, the night market street connected to it was also crowded.
There is a Xinlian Hotel in the middle of Garbage Street and Night Market Street, and that place is always busy with business all year round.
People who come to travel, visit their children in the university town, and some college couples all like to book rooms here.
Mu Yu got into a taxi, but there was a traffic jam when it was still one kilometer away from the garbage street. It was already six o'clock in the evening when he reached his destination.
At this moment, looking around, the entire Garbage Street, the Xinlian Hotel at the end of the Garbage Street, and the night market street at the other end of the Xinlian Hotel were all full of people.
Mu Yu was a little dizzy. Gao Zhanyuan's golden hair played a key role at this moment and was very eye-catching in the crowd.
The two met successfully, and Gao Zhanyuan excitedly said that he would introduce Mu Yu to his seniors.
Mu Yu strictly forbade this guy to call him "big brother" anymore, to prevent the seniors from looking at them with strange eyes. Gao Zhanyuan was immediately disappointed, feeling that his brotherly love had nowhere to be expressed.
The barbecue shop was filled with smoke, and Gao Zhanyuan's senior students were busy working with dusty faces.
As soon as Mu Yu finished introducing himself, he was stuffed with two handfuls of skewers. The senior student took the time out of her busy schedule to shout, "Come back for more after you're done. I'm sure you'll be full today!"
Senior: "Yes, hold on and go back!"
Gao Zhanyuan: "Yes, hold on!!"
Mu Yu: “…………” Is this the style of your entire academy?
The few seats in the store were already full of people. Mu Yu sat down on the steps outside and munched on the fragrant, greasy skewers while looking at the gradually darkening sky.
I don’t know if it’s because I have experienced too many dungeons, but I always feel that such liveliness and peace are hard-won.
Oh, it would be great if Lu Chongnian were here now.
…
At the same time, on the other side, at Xinlian Hotel.
When Yan Shaowen got on the online taxi and saw the dense crowds of people in front of him, he regretted coming here with his roommates today.
I don't know if he was possessed by evil spirits, why would he suddenly want to come to a place like this...
No matter how booming the business is here, the management model cannot be applied to their family's business.
Yan Shaowen frowned and retreated step by step to the steps of Xinlian Hotel to avoid pedestrians.
His roommate said excitedly, "Let's go to Garbage Street first, and then go to the night market later, right?"
The other two roommates nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay!"
Yan Shaowen's patience was completely exhausted. He rubbed his eyes and said, "Forget it. I won't go in—"
Before he could finish his words, a passerby who was passing by was suddenly pushed back and moved towards him.
Seeing that the other party was about to step on his shoes, Yan Shaowen quickly retracted his foot.
But the latter still bumped into his body, and when he stood firm, he turned around.
He is a boy with naturally curly black hair, a fair and clean face, and big, beautiful eyes.
He looked at Yan Shaowen seriously and nodded at him.
Yan Shaowen raised his eyebrows.
You bumped into someone but didn't apologize?
…
On the other side, the night market street.
The taxi driver dropped Hong Yang off at the entrance of the night market and drove away. Hong Yang was speechless when he saw the bus full of people.
He sent a message to Mu Yu: "...Have you arrived yet?"
Mu Yu quickly replied: "Yes, I'm here. I'm eating at Zhuzhu's restaurant. When will you arrive?"
Hong Yang: "I'm here too..."
Mu Yu: "Why didn't I see you?"
Hong Yang: "I'm at the night market..."
Mu Yu: “…”
Mu Yu: "If you walk over there, it will take you eight o'clock..."
Hong Yang: “[Vomiting blood]”
Hong Yang: "Forget it, it shouldn't be that exaggerated. Ask Gao Zhanyuan to roast it for me first. I'm starving."
Mu Yu: "ojbk, wait for you to come over."
As soon as Hong Yang put down her phone, she met Jiang Shuyue's eyes, who was two or three steps away. Both of them were a little surprised.
Jiang Shuyue said something to his roommate, then turned and walked towards Hong Yang, saying hello: "What a coincidence, you're alone?"
"No, I made an appointment with Mu Yu..." Hong Yang paused and suddenly became alert, "Why are you here?"
Jiang Shuyue also reacted quickly. He said cautiously, "I just suddenly wanted to come and take a look..."
Hong Yang: “…”
Jiang Shuyue: “…”
“Suddenly” Dafa has come, it has come, it has come!!
Jiang Shuyue immediately asked: "Where is Mu Yu now?"
Hong Yang's mouth twitched: "He's in Garbage Street..."
Jiang Shuyue turned around and left: "Let's go, let's go find him. Let's buy some food on the way to fill our stomachs so that we won't have time to eat later!"
"..." Hong Yang, "No, isn't it a bit too ptsd? It's not necessarily that!" Copy!
Jiang Shuyue adjusted the non-existent glasses on his face and instantly turned into Conan: "According to my experience, if three or more players 'suddenly' meet, and Mu Yu is involved, then it must be that thing!" Copy!
Hong Yang: "...but I'm starving and I haven't eaten yet!"
Jiang Shuyue: "So let's just eat something right now. Do you want some roasted corn over there? It's enough to fill you up!"
…
At the same time, in the two streets and a hotel located in the northwest corner of the university town in a ribbon-like shape, several people were distributed in different locations, carrying out their own activities.
Yan Shaowen had already planned to go home. He used his cell phone to call a taxi, let out a breath, and tried to wait patiently.
Jiang Shuyue dragged Hong Yang and ran wildly in the night market street, attracting a lot of attention along the way.
Mu Yu was still eating the skewers. Behind him, Gao Zhanyuan was helping his seniors, his blond hair turning gray in front of the grill.
Mu Yu suddenly received a call from Mu Chenxi and jumped up from the stairs: "Brother, are you here?"
"Well, at the entrance of Garbage Street, where are you?" Mu Chenxi's casual voice came.
"I'm very close to the door, the booth number is..."
"Wait, I think I saw you—"
Mu Chenxi didn't finish his words.
All the sounds suddenly disappeared in Mu Yu's ears.
It was as if the whole world was suddenly vacuumed, and all the oxygen in his chest was sucked out, and his whole body seemed to be crushed in an instant.
His eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.
…
"…Fuck, what's going on?"
"Doesn't that person over there look a little weird? Is that a human?!"
"Brother Yu...Brother Yu, wake up, can you hear me?!"
A hazy voice came into my ears.
It was as if a hand was adjusting the volume button on the remote control, and the sounds gradually changed from faint to loud and noisy.
"——Brother Yu!"
Following this shout, Mu Yu took a deep breath and opened his eyes.
He was standing in an open space, the world in front of him was blurry, and someone was waving in front of him.
Gao Zhanyuan's relieved voice sounded nearby: "Brother Yu, you finally woke up!"
Mu Yu blinked.
"Something seems to be wrong. Don't be afraid, Brother Yu. I will protect you no matter what happens later!"
The figure that made the high-pitched voice... is so short!
Short and fat, like a child...
Mu Yu stretched out his hand suspiciously and pinched the guy's face accurately.
"Hiss," the other person held his face, "Brother Yu, why are you pinching my face?"
...feels so good!
No, wait.
Mu Yu realized the problem, raised his hand and took a closer look.
For some reason his eyes became blurry.
Normally his eyesight is around 400 to 500 degrees, but now he is wearing glasses, but his eyesight is as blurry as if he has 2,000 degrees, as if he is almost blind.
He got very close, until his eyes were almost touching his hands, and then he realized...
My five fingers are short and fleshy, and there are a few small dimples on the back of my hands.
Look at the arm again, it is round and plump, like a lotus root.
Looking at the lower body, the legs are short, just like a corgi.
...Mu Yu was shocked.
——He’s become smaller?!
He raised his head sharply.
It was completely dark, lights were flickering in the distance, and people were coming and going.
He was standing outside the gate of Garbage Street, surrounded by three short and stocky little kids like him, looking panicked.
"Fuck, I am not dreaming, how could I become a child?!"
"I, I can hardly see anything. What's going on?"
"Don't worry, I'll try calling 110 first!"
As soon as Gao Zhanyuan picked up the phone, a short hand held it down.
Mu Yu tried to calm herself down and asked him, "Zhuzhu, have you seen your brother Lu?"
"...Who is my brother Lu, that vixen?" Gao Zhanyuan muttered unhappily, "I didn't see him. There are only four of us here now."
"...Four?"
"Yes, it's just me, you, Brother Yu, a fat guy, and a thin guy."
The fat man cursed: "My name is Zhang Huawei, you are the fat one, your whole family is fat!"
The thin man said dryly: "My name is Shen Leng..."
Gao Zhanyuan was surprised: "Fuck, there is actually someone named Shenlun in this world, are you from Shadong?"
Shen Leng: "...No, my name is Shen Leng, Leng, not Lun!!"
While they were talking, Mu Yu turned around twice.
It was pitch black all around. Apart from a few large, glittering, long, strange objects standing upright about ten meters behind them, he really didn't see any other people.
...There are only four of them in this dungeon? !
