There was some spoiled fried rice in the pot. Luckily, the pot lid covered it, so it didn't attract any insects.
She poured out the fried rice, washed the pot, found some dumplings in the refrigerator, and cooked and ate them.
After finishing the meal, she washed the pot and tidied up the house a bit.
Next, she found a pen and paper, wrote down her name and contact information, and explained that she was staying there temporarily and that she could contact the owner when she returned so she could pay the bill.
Although she didn't know if the owner of this place would ever return, writing this note would give her some peace of mind.
However, she felt she couldn't just leave the note out in public, otherwise it would expose her identity.
Because she couldn't be sure if there were other people nearby, or whether they were good or evil.
So she went into the master bedroom and slipped the note into the pillowcase.
Most people wouldn't bother to check their pillowcases, so this area is relatively safe.
Jian Tanxi was a little tired and decided to rest.
This family has two rooms, one of which appears to be the couple's bedroom, and the other is the child's bedroom.
She felt it was more appropriate for her to stay in the child's room, so she went in.
The room is filled with stuffed animals, animal dolls, and stickers.
The wardrobe contained many little girls' clothes, suggesting that a six- or seven-year-old girl once lived here.
Since Jian Tanxi couldn't wear the little girl's clothes, she went into the master bedroom and picked out a set of clothes worn by the lady of the house.
Anyway, she's already left her contact information, so we can just pay together later.
She chose short-sleeved shirts and long pants, which would make it easier to move around.
She felt she could be pulled into a second game at any moment, so she couldn't wear those pretty but impractical dresses.
If the next game requires running and jumping, the skirt will be very inconvenient.
After choosing her clothes, she took a shower, changed into the new clothes, and then washed her old clothes.
Then, she remembered the extra rewards she had received in the game, which she hadn't checked yet, so she took out the gray bag and emptied its contents.
There are four pills inside, one red and three blue.
Jian Tanxi's reward was a Resurrection Pill and three Healing Pills.
So, the red pill must be the Resurrection Pill, and the blue pill must be the Healing Pill.
These pills are quite useful; they might come in handy if we encounter danger in the future.
She put the pills back into the gray bag and then put the gray bag away.
Then, she took a nap in bed.
When she woke up, it was already dark.
It was pitch black everywhere; the lights couldn't be turned on, and she had forgotten to look for candles.
However, few people store candles nowadays, and this family probably doesn't have any either.
Jian Tanxi felt an overwhelming loneliness enveloping her.
Besides feeling lonely, she was also a little scared.
She really wished there was some light right now.
However, when she drew back the curtains, she found the stars were also dim. The moon was a small crescent, with little light.
Jian Tanxi sang a song to bolster her courage.
But after she finished singing, she felt even more lonely.
Suddenly, she noticed a faint light emanating from the grass below, its color a yellowish-green.
"firefly!"
She looked at the fireflies with delight and felt very happy.
She hadn't seen fireflies for many years. Since moving to the big city, fireflies seemed to have disappeared.
She wanted to go downstairs to see the fireflies, but then she realized that without any light source, she would have to go down in the dark, which was too dangerous. Not only was it easy to slip and fall, but it would also be even worse if she encountered someone with ill intentions who tried to ambush her.
So she suppressed her excitement and quietly looked at the fireflies.
She murmured, "Fireflies, you are the only ones who keep me company now."
She used to pay little attention to the outside world and only focused on her own affairs.
But suddenly, all the familiar and unfamiliar people disappeared, and she felt very uncomfortable.
This world should be a bit more lively.
Suddenly, she remembered that she was not alone.
She still has 100,000 people.
She took out an ecosphere from her personal space, and the ecosphere emitted a light that illuminated her room.
It was dark inside the ecosphere, but because it was powered, many streetlights were shining. Inside the buildings, countless lights twinkled, making Jian Tanxi feel incredibly welcome.
Because the ecosphere was shrunk, the lights looked as small as the glow of a firefly.
I remember the Joker saying that the ecosphere could grow and shrink at will, and the people inside wouldn't feel anything.
Jian Tanxi decided to give it a try.
She murmured, "Grow bigger."
As the ecosphere slowly grew larger, until it almost occupied half the room, Jian Tanxi said, "Stop."
The ecosphere has stopped growing.
Jian Tanxi observed the people inside.
This was the first time she had observed the world from this perspective, and she found it very interesting.
She suddenly wondered: Do aliens feel this way when they look at Earth? What are they thinking?
Jian Tanxi didn't understand. She found those paper figures, or rather, Hoggers, very strange.
Because they neither want to live peacefully with Earthlings nor want to fight each other.
Earthlings are more like their experimental subjects, like lab rats.
Jian Tanxi had a flash of inspiration.
White mice...
So, if that's the case, did the aliens make them play games in order to study Earthlings?
What is the purpose of this research? Is it to write a paper?
The thought that aliens also have to write papers fills Jian Tanxi with a sense of humor.
Jian Tanxi observed for a while longer, and suddenly wondered if there were any acquaintances among these 100,000 people.
However, it is almost impossible to find.
So she decided to ask directly.
She placed her hand on the ecosphere and asked, "Is there a couple among you, the man named Jian Guifan and the woman named Song Lan? If so, please have these two speak, and the rest of you remain silent."
Jian Guifan and Song Lan are the names of Jian Tanxi's parents.
However, there are 100,000 people here, and it's unlikely that you can keep them all silent.
Those people heard the voice from the "universe" again. Some panicked, while others discussed something.
The noise was deafening; tens of thousands of people were talking at once, and Jian Tanxi couldn't hear what they were saying at all, nor did she know if her parents were inside.
Jian Tanxi gave up on communicating with them.
However, using simple probability theory, the probability of her parents being here is very low, close to 0.
Earth has billions of people, but her ecosphere has only 100,000 people, which is only 1/80,000 of the total population.
Jian Tanxi set a goal for herself: she wanted to win more games so that she could get more Eco Balls.
She doesn't know how to release the people inside yet, but she feels more at ease knowing that the Earthlings are under her control.
She tried saying, "Shrink."
The ecosphere began to shrink until it became the size of a pearl. Jian Tanxi said, "Stop."
She observed for a while longer, and when the ecosphere was so small, she could barely see anything.
So she enlarged the ecosphere to a suitable size and then hid it in her personal space.
She tried to put items such as pillows and lamps into her personal storage space, but she couldn't fit them in.
It seems the clown was right; this personal space can only store ecospheres and special items.
She completely gave up on the idea of using ecospheres to store supplies.
The next day, she planned to go to a nearby supermarket to get some supplies, mainly food and clothes.
After washing up, she went out and wandered aimlessly around the neighborhood.
Now there's no way to check routes, and she can't use mobile maps. She has no idea what's around here, so she can only rely on luck.
Fortunately, this neighborhood is located in a bustling area, and there's a large shopping mall just a short walk away.
Jian Tanxi walked into the mall and felt that it was large and spacious.
There was probably no one inside, but the shops were lined up one after another, and they had all kinds of goods.
Jian Tanxi felt like she owned a large shopping mall, a very strange feeling.
She pretended to be the daughter of a billionaire, that the mall belonged to her family, and that she was there to inspect it.
After touring around for a while, she had her fill and began taking what she needed.
She still wasn't used to taking things for free, so she took out paper and pen and wrote down what she had taken and from which store.
She didn't need much food; she took some cookies, cereal, dried fruit, and the like, as these can be stored for a relatively long time.
She also took some of her favorite snacks, such as potato chips and jelly.
Next, grab a few packs of tissues and wet wipes.
Then I went to a sports equipment store and got a helmet, wristbands, a first-aid kit, and other similar items.
The store also had a trampoline. Jian Tanxi put her things down and bounced on the trampoline for a while.
She hadn't played on a trampoline in many years, and it was quite fun.
However, since her physical strength has improved, she has been jumping very high, and with the elasticity of the trampoline itself, her head almost hit the ceiling.
So she jumped for a while and then stopped.
Pick up your things and keep walking forward; there's a large inflatable castle.
This was originally meant for children to play with, but now it's all alone and nobody plays with it.
Jian Tanxi also went in and played for a while, and felt very happy.
Kids these days are so lucky; they have so many great things to play with.
When Jian Tanxi was a child, she was happy for most of the day if she could play on a slide.
But now these inflatable castles offer a variety of ways to play and have complex structures. They include slides that are several meters long, trampolines as big as a room, inflatable chairs to sit on, and giant inflatable dolls to climb on.
In addition, there are various other play areas such as ocean ball courts, space sand courts, building block areas, and balance beams.
Jian Tanxi explored everything in an hour.
Then, she took the things she had bought and went home.
She felt that since she had nothing to do right now, she might as well exercise, which would also help her play games later.
Although her physical skills have been enhanced, she can perform even better with more training.
If she encounters someone like Huo Zimu again, she can find a way to subdue him herself without needing to ask for help from others.
Of course, it takes a lot of practice to reach this level.
She first runs for an hour, then goes to the community gym to work out.
There were many machines in the gym, some of which could be used without electricity, so she started working out seriously, using each machine for about 20 minutes.
She had been to the gym before, so she was quite familiar with the equipment and knew how to use it.
When she gets tired, she either lies down on the gym floor to rest or goes home to rest.
When she doesn't feel like exercising, she reads a book.
There's a large bookstore in the mall with tens of thousands of books, enough for her to read for a long time.
She lived like this for a few days, with a fairly regular routine: exercising in the morning, reading in the afternoon, and meditating in the evening.
Meditation helps her relax, clear her mind, become more focused, and stop overthinking.
This was something her yoga teacher taught her when she took yoga classes before.
Now, everything she has learned is coming in handy.
She deeply felt that nothing was learned in vain, and that knowledge would help her sooner or later.
As her days became more fulfilling, she was no longer lonely.
That day, she went to the supermarket to pick up some things, and suddenly, a person appeared in front of her.
