168 The Ninth Store
◎ "Welcome to my world."◎
Just as Lu Yao and his party left, the door of the office on the 15th floor opened from the outside, and the rescue team hurried in.
The leading rescue team members saw that there were only Pei Qi and four others at the scene: "Why are there only you?"
The video of Harold and Qiu Yu saving people went viral on the Internet, and the rescue team members who were at the scene also saw it with their own eyes.
Pei Qi put on the bracelet and stood up: "They went to the 66th floor."
"The 66th floor? Who are they? What is their purpose?"
Pei Qi turned sideways and looked out the window: "Who knows."
The rescue team member who helped up the other two employees said: "They shouldn't be able to get in? After all, it's the 66th floor."
-------
Technology Building, outside the window of the 66th floor.
Harold crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Didn't they say the security system is amazing? I was looking forward to it."
The 66th floor, which is said to have the most advanced security system in Tomorrow City, should have layers of protection, but there is no bulletproof glass installed on the balcony. The edges are smooth and there are no signs of damage. The interior is as bright as day, as if saying "Welcome."
Qiuyu: "A trap."
Harold: "Come to think of it, is the thing Luyao is looking for really here?"
Luyao nodded: "99.9% probability. If it's not here, I'll be troubled."
Harold: "What exactly is it?"
Luyao: "It's hard to describe. If I must say, it can be regarded as Alfred's predecessor."
Harold: "... is it also a dragon?"
Luyao: "I haven't seen it either, it shouldn't be a dragon."
Qiuyu landed on the balcony: "Go in first?"
Luyao put away the flying props and jumped onto the balcony: "I'll go ahead."
The place where they landed was just the outer balcony, which was separated from the inner room by a wall, and there was a door in the middle of the wall.
The dazzling silver light filled the door frame, and standing on the bowl, you could only see the light, and you couldn't see the internal structure.
Lu Yao was the first to step into the room, followed closely by Harold and Qiu Yu. Inside
the door was a hemispherical space, with silver-white screens of all sizes all around, including the semi-arc ceiling.
The densely packed screens looked like picture frames embedded in the wall, with different contents framed.
Some frames were the real world, some were the virtual world, and there were many colorful/interfaces running unknown programs.
Lu Yao: "I see. This is the all-powerful and all-knowing Enlightenment Star."
"You are finally here." A magnetic voice suddenly sounded, coming from all directions, "Dear Miss Lu Yao."
Lu Yao nodded: "Who are you?"
The voice replied: "Aren't you here just to see me?"
Lu Yao: "Ah - the person I want to see sounds much younger than you. Could it be that after not seeing each other for a few months, the child has grown up and reached the voice change period?"
"..." After a brief silence, the voice continued: "Miss Lu Yao is not only smart and thoughtful, but also has a great sense of humor. I have always wanted to meet you in person, and the wait is really worth it."
Lu Yao: "...Why do you want to see me? I don't think we knew each other before."
"I just forgot to introduce myself. My name is Qimingxing. Maybe you still remember that I once met a cute black goat kid in Ghost Street." Lu
Yao clenched his toes.
Qimingxing's voice should also be synthesized by AI. The tone of his speech is awkward.
It seems to be imitating a successful young man.
Qimingxing: "From then on, I wanted to meet you no matter what." Lu Yao
: "Why do you want to see me?"
Qimingxing: "Why? It's a bit presumptuous to say this, I seem to like you."
Lu Yao: "... It's really presumptuous."
Harold took a step forward: "Can I beat this guy?"
Qiuyu rubbed the goose bumps on his arms hard: "What a pretentious man."
Lu Yao: "Calm down, you guys go find it first. It should be in a screen on the wall, don't worry too much, it will probably react when it sees you."
Qimingxing suddenly changed his voice, and said in a clear boyish voice: "You don't believe me?" Lu Yao
walked forward slowly, his eyes quickly swept across the large and small screens around him, and the system was likely in a screen.
When he saw this room, some ideas popped up in Lu Yao's mind.
What kind of being would claim to be an omniscient god?
There are probably thousands of screens in the room on the 66th floor, monitoring everything in Tomorrow City in real time, including reality and all virtual worlds.
Referring to the situation in Ghost Street, the being who claims to be an omniscient god can quietly trap countless human consciousness in the game, and the Dream Fulfilling System is also entirely possible to be isolated and trapped in another virtual world.
The situation suddenly became simple and complicated. The simplicity is that as long as they find the location of the Dream Fulfilling System, their goal will be achieved.
The difficulty is that there are too many screens in the room, and there may even be hidden screens. In the absence of sound, breath and other auxiliary conditions, searching for the system with the naked eye is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and they must always be on guard against super-intelligent computers with unknown intentions.
Qi Mingxing: "Go further ahead is my collection room, which contains some interesting collections. If Miss Lu Yao likes one, I can give you one." Lu Yao
: "Collectibles?"
The wall in front of him suddenly disappeared like data, from the bottom to the top, revealing a huge and spacious space.
There are several rows of mahogany-colored shelves in the new room that look like real ones, and the shelves are full of transparent narrow-mouthed glass bottles.
The glass bottles contain plants, insects, sea water, and various miniature small animals.
Lu Yao stopped in front of the third row of shelves next to the wall after entering the door, lowered his eyes and stared at a bottle in the corner, as if thinking about something.
The glass bottles in the room are of the same size and specifications, similar to the general specifications of cough syrup bottles.
The glass bottle that caught Lu Yao's attention contained a chubby calico cat. Its pattern and appearance were almost identical to Er Xin's, but it was an infinitely smaller version.
The calico cat in the bottle seemed to be conscious, and kept jumping and hopping in Lu Yao's direction, its pink little paws trying to scratch the inner wall of the glass. Lu Yao reached out to
the cat.
The cat in the bottle jumped up excitedly, and its round head almost hit the mouth of the bottle.
A hand reached out before Lu Yao and took the glass bottle from the shelf.
Lu Yao turned around.
The silver-haired, red-eyed young man wearing a gold-rimmed monocle smiled at Lu Yao tenderly: "Do you like this little guy?"
Lu Yao took a step back and frowned slightly: "... Star?"
The smile on the young man's face became more obvious: "Your expression is really interesting."
Lu Yao calmed down.
In theory, the distress message from the Dream Fulfillment System was an accident, and opening a store in Ghost Street was her temporary decision.
He will not appear in this world.
Qimingxing held up the glass bottle in her hand and said, "This little guy has a very bad temper and always wants to run away. To avoid trouble, I moved it to the collection room. If you like it, just treat it as a gift for our first meeting."
Lu Yao: "Is it okay? You are such a gentleman."
In the glass bottle, the miniature version of Erxin shook his head vigorously.
Qimingxing handed the glass bottle to Lu Yao.
Lu Yao took it and opened the cork, turned the bottle upside down, and the chubby little Sanhua rolled into her palm.
The next second, an angry voice rang in Lu Yao’s mind: “You are so stupid, so stupid, so stupid! Why did you accept his invitation?”
Lu Yao happily poked the belly of the cat in his palm with his finger: “Of course, it’s you! I recognized you at first sight!”
The Dream-Fulfilling System hugged Lu Yao’s fingertips in despair, and then uncontrollably lowered its head and stretched out its pink tongue to lick gently, gritting its teeth: “Thank you for coming to jail with me!”
When Lu Yao saw the cat-like mimicry of the Dream-Fulfilling System, he couldn’t help but think of the little people and animals in the Nitian continent. He clenched his fingers, and the furry touch was fascinating.
The layout of the collection room began to change. The ceiling was infinitely raised and arched upward. The shelves kept moving horizontally to the sides, close to the walls, and were suddenly covered by the red curtain. The pattern of the floor became complicated and gorgeous, with exquisitely carved door pillars rising from the ground, golden tassels hanging from the ceiling, and red carpets extending from the front.
The simple and strange collection room turned into a gorgeous palace in an instant, more efficient than Cinderella's fairy godmother.
The young man who was just beside Lu Yao changed into an extremely gorgeous white uniform, wearing a golden cloak, a jewel crown on his head, and sat high on the throne: "Dear Miss Lu Yao, welcome to my world."
[Author's words]
The rule before the owner came: small animals trying to escape from jail every day.
Lu Yao finally came, but fell into the trap easily.
Tong: "Thank you for coming to jail with me!"
Lu Yao rubbed the cat's head: "The child is so gloomy, and the mother is so happy."
Tong pounded the wall.
