There was a flash of light, and when Fang Zheng opened his eyes again, he had arrived in a new world.

Then……

"What the hell is this?!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but cry out.

What he saw in front of him was a city with a modern urban atmosphere, blue sky, white clouds, bustling pedestrians, and vehicles speeding on the streets. These were commonplace scenes in daily life and did not attract much attention.

Of course, Fang Zheng would not shout out because of these.

What made him scream out loud... was a monster that towered in the city and looked to be a hundred meters tall. It was so realistic that Fang Zheng thought it was a real monster at first glance. But when he looked closely, he realized that it was not alive, but looked like a sculpture...

But...what is this? Godzilla?

Looking at the monster statue in the distance, Fang Zheng scratched his head. He couldn't understand why the world had such a strange interest. Wouldn't it take up space to build something like this in a busy city? This should be... Tokyo, right?

But looking at the people walking around, no one cares about this thing. Obviously, this thing should be commonplace to them. Fang Zheng didn't doubt it. After all, each world has its own different rules. Maybe this world likes this?

Anyway, since this world is also a world bubble on the tree of imaginary numbers, there should be something similar to Honkai. That monster also looks a lot like Honkai Beast, but according to common sense, no civilization would make a statue of Honkai Beast and place it in their city.

Could it be that the people in this world regard Honkai as some kind of belief?

Fang Zheng first opened his personal terminal and connected to the network of this world to conduct some investigation, but to his disappointment, there was no news of similar Honkai beast attacks or Honkai disasters on the Internet. Of course, considering that Tianming was also responsible for concealing these news in the Honkai world, it was not surprising that such information would not appear on the ordinary network.

But to Fang Zheng's surprise, not to mention the collapse, there was no record of any disasters related to the collapse. Not only that, he tried to investigate the news about the monster statues in the city out of curiosity, but there was no record either.

It's really strange, putting such a big thing here, even if it's a statue, you should have an introduction or something.

It’s better to ask someone.

There happened to be a store not far away, so Fang Zheng pushed the door and walked in.

"Welcome."

After pushing open the door and walking into the store, Fang Zheng heard a lazy greeting. Then he looked over and saw a girl with black hair and wearing a uniform sitting behind the counter, browsing her phone. When she saw Fang Zheng come in, she was stunned for a moment and then nodded.

"Just take a look."

After saying this, the girl lowered her head and started browsing on her phone.

Oh, this is interesting.

Fang Zheng was a little surprised by the girl's hospitality. After all, the service industry in Japan has always adhered to the principle of "customers are God". To be honest, the employees in those stores are so attentive that it makes people uncomfortable. People like Kuroneko stay away from these stores. They would rather shop online than go to the store to try on clothes because those shameless salespeople are too uncomfortable.

For people with social phobia, it is simply a natural enemy.

The girl's indifferent attitude is rare in Japan, but Fang Zheng is used to it. After all, many small shop owners in China are like this. They won't approach you with a smile as soon as they see you, making you feel embarrassed if you don't buy something - of course, even if you pay for something, you will definitely not come again next time.

However, this store is not a convenience store or a small shop. It looks more like a second-hand store, and it is filled with second-hand goods that are recycled and resold.

This situation is quite common in Japan. After all, recycling of used goods has always been a problem in Japan.

Chinese people may have gotten used to the loudspeakers of the street vendors who say "collect refrigerators, TVs and washing machines". In the eyes of many Chinese people, recycling old goods is not a difficult thing. Find a garbage collector and he will come to your door with a cart and take away all the TVs and washing machines you don't want. You can even sell them for some money. Of course, it's less than one thousandth of the original price, but it's still a profit.

However, this is not the case with recycling used goods in Japan, especially electronic products. In fact, many Japanese people will even sneak to the garbage station to throw away some used goods in the dark of night. The reason is simple. In Japan, the law requires consumers to pay for the recycling of used home appliances.

That’s right, in Japan, if you ask someone to recycle your old appliances, not only can you not sell them for money, but you have to pay them for it!

If you want to recycle items like refrigerators, TVs, and air conditioners all at once, you will have to pay the recycling company nearly 10,000 yen.

The landlord doesn't have any surplus food, so who can bear the thought of asking you to pay for throwing away your old appliances?

Therefore, many Japanese will secretly throw old appliances into the garbage station in the dark of night, and then turn around and run away, which is no different from being a thief.

And you can’t just pick them up!

If you pick up a used appliance from a garbage station and carry it back home, and are discovered by the police on the way, that is illegal and in serious cases you may even go to jail.

So in this case, Japanese people are more inclined to sell things to second-hand junk shops, which not only allows them to dispose of their unwanted waste, but also allows them to make some money without having to worry about breaking the law. The same is true for buyers, as things in junk shops are cheaper than new ones anyway. Unless they are so poor that they can't afford to eat, going to junk shops to buy things they need is also the choice of many Japanese people.

Because of this, second-hand stores are a "must-have" for Japanese people. No wonder this girl is sitting on the Diaoyutai without even saying hello. Just like the waiter in a state-owned store, if it were a few decades ago, she would probably not be browsing her phone, but knitting sweaters.

However, Fang Zheng looked around and didn't see anything interesting. Instead, an old computer placed by the wall of the store caught Fang Zheng's attention. This is an old thing. Look at the floppy disk interface on it. This thing has been eliminated in China for 80 years. It is Japan that has always adhered to tradition. After all, they can install WIN7 with a floppy disk. It is not surprising that such an old computer is placed here.

However, judging from its appearance, it is obvious that no one is interested in it, which is normal. What era is this now? Computers back then might have had Voodoo graphics cards... they might not even have them, let alone the current 1080P full HD 60FPS gaming settings.

"Are you interested in this?"

Seeing Fang Zheng looking at the computer curiously, the girl asked.

"Just taking a look, I didn't expect to see this in this day and age... Tsk tsk tsk, this big white head..."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng reached out and patted the computer monitor in front of him. Unlike the LCD monitors of today, which are thinner than a magazine, computer monitors back then were all big boxes, heavy and bulky, with small screens... It brings tears to my eyes when I recall this.

After a few sighs, Fang Zheng turned around and left. He came to the counter and curiously picked up the menu. To Fang Zheng's surprise, this second-hand shop actually provided food and beverage. But if he thought about it carefully, the antique shop where Kurosawa Mika bloomed in the supernatural world also had a dessert setting. Could this be considered a popular design in Japan?

Anyway, eat something.

"I'd like a blended coffee and a set meal."

"Okay, wait a moment."

Although the girl was not very welcoming, she was used to it and quickly brought out coffee and a sandwich set. Fang Zheng thanked the girl and took a sip of coffee - the taste was average, not comparable to the coffee brewed by Chino, but still drinkable.

But Fang Zheng certainly doesn’t order food just for the sake of eating.

"I came here from outside. It's my first time in this city. I feel it's really strange here."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah, like those monster statues in the city...what are they for?"

Fang Zheng stared at the girl again and asked. After all, in his opinion, the one who was related to the collapse of this world should be that one.

However, the girl's answer surprised Fang Zheng.

"Monster statue? What monster statue?"

"Those in the city, tall and big..."

"I've never seen anything like it."

The girl shook her head, while Fang Zheng rolled his eyes and shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, maybe I saw it wrong."

Frankly speaking, Fang Zheng didn't believe the girl's statement that she had never seen any monster statues. That thing was more than a hundred meters tall. Even if he was standing at the door of the store just now, he could see it by looking up. It didn't make sense that the girl knew nothing about it, but because it was too abnormal, he believed what the girl said was true.

In other words, this thing is invisible to ordinary people in the city?

It seems that an investigation is necessary.

Just as Fang Zheng was thinking, the girl behind the counter suddenly came over and stared at him.

"Hey, you're not some idol artist, are you?"

"Huh? What makes you think that?"

"Because you are very handsome, and your clothes are different from those of ordinary people. Which group are you from?"

I have to say, this girl has good taste. As handsome as me, I will definitely attract attention wherever I go.

Fang Zheng silently gave the girl a thumbs up in his heart, while thinking about his own identity.

"I just came back from overseas and am planning to develop here..."

"really!"

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, the girl's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Which agency are you from? When will you debut?"

"Well...it will probably take some time, but since you like it so much..."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng looked around and then fixed his eyes on an old guitar.

"Why don't I sing a song for you?"
