The panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows and balcony offer a great view. Looking down at the water, there are a lot of fish swimming around this room, and it's easy to guess why.
Among a group of common fish, there was a very beautiful betta swimming back and forth, its flowing and gorgeous tail fins undiminished by even the murky water.
Shi Jinzhe was also looking at the fish and speculated, "I guess the fish was freed because the first-floor residents were flooded."
"...This water quality is worse than not being free. I saw people in the comments saying that the sewers would back up and that people wading through the water might have various diseases or infectious diseases. You can imagine how dirty the water is."
"Even if it's dirty, some people don't mind. The old man in that room still eats it."
"Maybe it's because I'm getting older and I'm increasing the intensity of my physical exercise."
Scheher held up a cup of hot water. "I don't know when this rain will stop. It's getting heavier and heavier. I saw on the news that it's raining all over the country."
“It’s raining in many places, and news of flood discharges keeps coming in. This morning, the housekeeper told me that the water level on the artificial island had risen a bit, so I told him to be more careful around the house.”
Schech gazed at the broken raindrops, "I hope this rain stops soon."
However, things did not go as she wished; two days later, it was still raining.
The first floor of the hotel was almost completely flooded. An old man with a good attitude was fishing and smoking, but he was also sighing with a worried look on his face.
Shi Jin plucked a lychee and heard another argument in the corridor. They couldn't go out, they couldn't go home, and some people couldn't take it anymore. They were full of resentment and a single word could set them on fire.
In contrast, he was surprised by Shekh's behavior over the past two days; she was calm and showed no impatience or disgust.
He asked, "You seem to have a much higher tolerance for human noise these past few days."
“It’s alright,” Shekh said. “I’d feel like hitting someone if I didn’t eat well for five days, but I’m eating well because you’re here, so I’m not anxious. More than that, I don’t want to see this rain. The air is all damp, like a harbinger of the end of the world.”
Shi Jinzhe: "It is a bit like that. It's raining overseas too, and the internet is in an uproar. People are saying it's going to be the end of the world."
He and Shekh had witnessed the apocalypse several times in the dungeon, so they weren't too surprised.
The situation is still under control. People are delivering food and medicine every day. The vegetable leaves are wilted and yellow, which is not very good, but at least we have something to eat.
The two groups of people in the corridor were still arguing. The lobby manager's pent-up emotions finally exploded. She yelled at the tenants across the hall, saying that it was not her decision whether the food was fresh or not. It was delivered like this. She also wanted to go home. Her children and parents were at home. Who wanted to stay here and put up with her attitude?
Sher heard the sob in her voice, but her words did nothing to move the people across the street. The family across the street remained aggressive, and every foul word reached her ears.
Unable to leave their homes, many people opened their doors to watch the commotion.
In the past, perhaps one person would have been willing to act as a peacemaker and persuade the others to be understanding.
But not nowadays.
Nobody was in a good mood. One crisis conspiracy theory after another emerged, and some people even believed the idea that poisoning food was a way to eliminate those who couldn't contribute to society.
Shekh looked at the sky listlessly. It wasn't easy to get this food delivered, and poisoning it would take effort too. Since no one was contributing anything, why would anyone waste their energy on him? This guy thinks he's too important.
She cried out, "It's not really the end of the world, is it?"
She's prepared to spend her whole life here; what does it matter if the world really ends?
But this heavy rain came out of nowhere, catching everyone off guard; it just doesn't make sense.
Shi Jin turned back: "Instead of asking this, we should ask why the game, this 'great philanthropist,' hasn't come out to save the world yet."
"He's probably dead," Shekh said listlessly. "We'll find out when we log into the game tonight."
"How do we get back into the game if it dies? Shouldn't we be freed after it dies?"
“Hmm? That’s true.” Shekh leaned against him, tilting his head. “I really hope it dies soon.”
"If the system hears this later, it'll pitifully accuse you of bullying it."
"Just bullying them."
"You're so cute."
"Be normal, I'm scared." Shekh changed the channel on TV and watched the afternoon news.
After a perfunctory dinner in the evening, Shi Jinzhe and she prepared to re-enter the game.

The cold, mechanical voice stopped at the third word, leaving dozens of people bewildered.
"...Is this instance called Rubik's Cube World?"
"I don't understand. Even if it's called that, why doesn't it mention the category and tasks?"
Someone whispered, "Hey, look over there."
"Ah! I'm so lucky this round, I ran into these two high-level players, I'm so happy!"
"I don't know why, but suddenly I felt at ease..."
