After choosing the house, Zhou Zhou bought it without much hesitation.
After purchasing a personal house in Nightmare City, the system will automatically bind the house to the player, and the player can be directly teleported to the door of the room through the task panel without taking other means of transportation.
Shortly after the points were transferred, a new option appeared on the left side of the task panel homepage. Zhou Zhou stared at the words for a long time.
There are four words written on the option.
"Zhou Zhou's home."
Although he was getting familiar with this world little by little and liked this lively world and the people here, Zhou Zhou's own abnormality and the topics that he could not understand at all when other people were chatting made him feel out of tune with the whole world from time to time.
Now looking at the four new words that appeared on the task panel, he suddenly felt at peace.
Although he has not yet figured out a way to go to the world where Al, Coli and the others are, he has his own home in the game world and no longer worries about having nowhere to go. After completing the dungeon mission, although he cannot log off like other people, he can also return to his home.
Zhou Zhou stretched out his finger and carefully pressed the button.
The next moment, he disappeared in front of the store door. He only felt a flash before his eyes, and the surrounding scenery changed completely.
In front of him was a white door with "Zhou Zhou's Home" written on the top in golden letters. On both sides were long corridors. About five meters away from his home, there were two doors of the same color on both sides. There were no names written on them, so it was estimated that no player had moved in yet.
The corridor has a very good view and the windows are very large. The sunlight shines in from outside, and the golden light shines on the whole body. It feels warm and comfortable, and people almost melt in such a temperature.
Zhou Zhou squinted his eyes and basked in the sun for a while before turning around and opening the door of his house.
The door opened with a slight twist of the button. In the virtual space, no one except Zhou Zhou could open the door easily unless the authority of the personal space was given to others.
After opening it, the decoration inside was exactly the same as what Zhou Zhou saw on the screen. All the furniture was available and there was no need to buy any more.
The room is not big, but the decoration inside is very warm. In fact, in the interstellar era, family housing is very large because there are many habitable planets now. In addition, the increasingly simple and intelligent furniture makes the room become more spacious and simple.
On the contrary, there are more choices in the virtual world, covering various types from ancient times to the present. If you have enough points, you can buy a castle or a palace here.
The decoration style of the purchased house is not the current mainstream aesthetic. If you don’t like it, you can replace it with one click by purchasing a new decoration template, but Zhou Zhou likes it very much. This compact and warm house is just right for him.
There is also a kitchen inside, where you can buy ingredients and cook in the virtual space.
The balcony windows are floor-to-ceiling windows. Standing on the balcony, you can see all kinds of scenery in the city. Under your feet is a very prosperous street in the Nightmare City. You can see the bustling crowd and hear all kinds of sounds outside.
If you find it noisy, you can also block the outside sounds by setting it up to make your home very quiet.
Zhou Zhou walked around the house. In addition to the bedroom, there was another room that was set up as a study with a large bookshelf.
Although there is no book on the bookshelf now, it can be purchased through the small screen installed next to the bookshelf. Zhou Zhou took a look at the screen and found that there were actually a lot of books inside, ranging from the history of interstellar development to the study of social forms, the introduction of attractions on different planets to the types of animal and plant species, covering a wide range of different books, as well as interstellar pharmacology, mecha basics, etc. There were so many different books that he had never even heard of them.
Zhou Zhou immediately realized that he could learn about the outside world through these books, so he tried to buy a book about the history of interstellar development, and the next moment the book appeared on the bookshelf.
The price of these books is uniform, only 1 point is required for each book, and they are heavy enough to hold in your hand, so you can read and take notes at any time.
He had not thought before that it was so easy to obtain relevant information from the outside world. He could find it in books without going through forums or carefully asking other people.
Zhou Zhou flipped through the pages of the history of interstellar development very quickly and attentively. When he looked up again, he found that it was already dark outside.
The light in the study was turned on automatically at some point and Zhou Zhou didn't notice it at all.
He put the book back on the bookshelf, and when he walked out of the study, the light in the living room came on.
The lights in the room seemed to be able to sense automatically, and would light up immediately no matter where Zhou Zhou went. Standing on the balcony, the city of Nightmare City also turned into a night scene. There were more players on the brightly lit streets than during the day, making it even more lively and bustling.
Zhou Zhou stood there and watched for a long time, then left the room. He was going to move in today, so he had to hurry to the rental house to move all his things over.
When he returned to the rental house, he found that all the little dolls were sitting on the bed surrounded by pillows.
"What are you looking at?" Zhou Zhou asked.
"The little octopus won't come out."
"We asked it to play with us, but it hid under the pillow and refused to come out. We moved the pillow away and it started swearing at us," a child complained to Zhou Zhou.
"It curses?" Zhou Zhou walked forward curiously and looked at the pillow on the bed with curiosity. Can a little octopus curse?
Seeing that Zhou Zhou didn't believe it, a small panda-like doll pulled the corner of the pillow outwards. Before it was pulled a few centimeters, a voice suddenly came from under the pillow: "Bad guy!"
Exactly the same voice as Zhou Zhou's.
The little dolls all looked at Zhou Zhou. Although they all had a pair of small doll eyes, the meaning was very clear. They were not lying. The little octopus was really scolding them.
Zhou Zhou touched the dolls' heads and said, "I'm moving. Do you want to come with me?"
It was obvious that the children were very interested in going to a new place and they all expressed their desire to go with him.
The little octopus hiding under the pillow also heard it. When the dolls cheered, he leaned out from under the pillow, stared at Zhou Zhou with wide eyes, and his tentacles moved restlessly.
An expression that said, "You unfaithful man, are you not going to take me with you?"
"Will you come with me too?"
Zhou Zhou found it funny and reached out his hand to the little octopus. It immediately wrapped its tentacles around Zhou Zhou's fingers and climbed up, nestling itself in Zhou Zhou's palm, with its little tentacles firmly clinging to his palm.
There is also a light yellow teddy bear in the rental house, which was given to him by Qian Le. It was possessed by Xiao Jin before, and later Xiao Jin returned the teddy bear to him. The teddy bear has been placed at the head of the bed, and the child has never been possessed by the bear again.
The bodies of their current dolls were all grabbed by Zhou Zhou from claw machines, and they are all about the same size. The stuffed bear is much bigger than these palm-sized dolls, and it is inconvenient to play with other children while attached to it.
Moreover, Zhou Zhou discovered that these people all chose the dolls possessed by the claw machine as their carriers and never changed them. That is to say, they choose a doll in the claw machine as their avatar, and it will always appear in that appearance.
In addition to the doll, you also need to take the things the captain left on the shore and return them to him when the time comes.
The food and clothes Zhou Zhou bought can all be put into the system. Apart from that, there seems to be nothing else. Zhou Zhou checked the rental house and left with the doll and the little octopus.
Instantly teleported to the door of his home, as soon as Zhou Zhou opened the door, the little dolls in his arms jumped down one by one and started walking around the rooms.
The little octopus seemed a little scared and stayed in Zhou Zhou's hand without moving.
"Don't be afraid, this is my home." Zhou Zhou whispered to the little octopus in his arms, his tone gentle and with a hint of hidden pride.
After understanding Zhou Zhou's words, the little octopus tried to look outside, and when he found nothing was wrong, he pointed at the balcony with his tentacles and wanted to go over.
Zhou Zhou put the fishing rod and the small stool in place, then carried them to the balcony and looked at the scenery outside the window with the little octopus.
"I will live here from now on. Don't you think it's beautiful?" Zhou Zhou's eyes reflected the myriad lights of the city, which were extremely bright.
The little octopus looked up at Zhou Zhou, then looked at the scenery outside and nodded his little head.
"Very beautiful." Still using Zhou Zhou's voice, the pure and sincere tone sounded more like Zhou Zhou asking and answering himself.
The children were obviously excited about the new environment and played around in the house for a long time.
Zhou Zhou listened to their laughter while playing, and took out his clothes from the bedroom. The originally empty closet was immediately filled up. He also left some clothes in the system in case he needed to change clothes in the copy next time.
After filling the clothes, Zhou Zhou filled the table in the living room with snacks. The little dolls circled around the table. Although they were very greedy, they were now in the bodies of the dolls and could not eat them at all.
The little octopus picked up a jelly and knocked it a few times with its tentacles. It was smart enough to know that it couldn't be eaten because of the shell on the outside, so it held the jelly with two tentacles and handed it to Zhou Zhou. After Zhou Zhou opened it, it hid the jelly under its body and ate it in small bites. It couldn't reach the bottom, so it used its tentacles as a spoon and scooped it up a little bit at a time.
I don’t know if the little octopus was eating so slowly on purpose to make them jealous. The kids next to them were drooling and some were almost crying.
Zhou Zhou quickly coaxed them, saying that they could eat it next time.
He has never had any talent for coaxing children. The children thought that they would still have to act like this when they came to Zhou Zhou's house to play tomorrow, and they wouldn't get any food at all, so they cried even louder.
Zhou Zhou blinked blankly, not understanding why the girl cried even harder the more he comforted her. He lowered his head and thought about it, and immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing. He could only divert the children's attention and take them to play somewhere else.
The little octopus slowly finished eating the jelly, but did not continue eating and crawled back onto Zhou Zhou.
The children gradually forgot about their gluttony and played hide-and-seek with Zhou Zhou at his house. It was obviously just a game for children, but Zhou Zhou had a lot of fun.
The little octopus lay on Zhou Zhou, watching him running around and catching the children everywhere. A few short and fat little tentacles were waving, and it was obviously very excited, but when other children wanted to touch it, the little octopus quickly dodged away. Except Zhou Zhou, it would not let anyone touch it.
It was late at night and the children had to go home.
The dolls they were possessed by lined up one by one and came to Zhou Zhou's room, sat down on both sides of the yellow bear at the head of the bed, and then went offline.
There was a row of dolls neatly arranged at the head of the bed, from the tallest little bear in the middle to the smaller dolls of different colors and styles on both sides. More than a dozen dolls were sitting there quietly.
After changing the water in the bucket, he placed it on the floor beside his bed, put the little octopus in it, and prepared to go to sleep.
For someone who is about to go to sleep, the noise outside the window is very loud, but Zhou Zhou did not adjust the silent mode and lay on the bed with the noisy background noise.
He could see the bucket next to him at a glance, but the bucket was quiet at this time, probably because the little octopus was also asleep. I was thinking about buying a fish tank for the little octopus tomorrow, as he couldn't see anything while staying in the bucket.
"good evening."
Zhou Zhou said something to the bucket and then closed his eyes.
The lights in the house sensed that Zhou Zhou had fallen asleep, and they went out one by one...
