Xu Xin now fully understood why the mentality of the survivors living in the World Tree had undergone such a big change.
A month has passed since we brought the technology and people from the underground world back to the World Tree.
During this month, he truly understood what a paradise-like life was like...
“I’m a loser who hardly notices whether the sun is shining or not because I don’t have the time.
"My parents couldn't support me, I didn't have much education, and I was alone in the city, searching for my future.
“I applied for many jobs but was not hired. Maybe no one likes someone who is not good at speaking, does not like to communicate, and has not demonstrated sufficient ability.

"I only ate two loaves of bread for three whole days. Hunger kept me awake at night. Fortunately, I paid a month's rent in advance, so I could continue living in that dark basement and didn't have to go outside to endure the extremely cold winter wind.
“Finally, I found a job working night watches at the hospital, tending the morgue.
"The night in the hospital was even colder than I had imagined. The wall lamps in the corridor were not on, and everything was dim. I could only rely on the little light that seeped out from the room to help me see my feet.
"The smell in there was terrible. From time to time, dead bodies were brought in in body bags, and we helped move them into the morgue.
“It’s not a very good job, but at least it allows me to buy bread, and I can use my free time at night to study. After all, no one wants to come to the morgue unless there are bodies to be delivered or taken away for cremation. Of course, I don’t have enough money to buy books, and I don’t see any hope of saving any money at the moment.
“I have to thank my former colleague, if he hadn’t resigned suddenly, I might not have been able to get such a job.
"I dream of taking turns being in charge during the day. Now I always go to bed when the sun comes out and get up when the night comes. My body is a little weak and my head occasionally hurts.
“One day, the movers brought in a new body.
"I heard from others that this was my former colleague who suddenly resigned.
"I was a little curious about him, so after everyone left, I pulled out a cabinet and quietly opened the body bag.
“He was an old man, with a pale, blue face full of wrinkles, and in the very dim light he looked very scary.
“He didn’t have much hair, most of it was white, and all his clothes were taken away, not even a piece of cloth was left for him.

"I saw a strange mark on his chest, a dark blue one, I can't describe it specifically because the lighting was too dim.
"I reached out and touched the mark, nothing special.
"Looking at this former colleague, I wondered if I could continue like this until I get old, would I end up like him...
"I told him that I would accompany him to the crematorium tomorrow and personally take his ashes to the nearest free cemetery, so that those who are responsible for these matters would not be bothered and just find a river or a wasteland to throw them away.
"It'll cost me a morning of sleep, but it's Sunday soon so I can make up for it.
“After saying that, I fixed the body bag and stuffed it back into the cabinet.
“The lights in the room seemed to dim…
“After that day, every time I went to sleep, I would dream of a thick fog.
"I had a feeling something was going to happen soon. I had a feeling that sooner or later something, not sure if it could be called a human, would come looking for me. But no one wanted to believe me. They thought I was mentally unstable in that environment and doing that kind of work, and that I needed to see a doctor..."
A male customer sitting at the bar looked at the narrator who suddenly stopped:
"Then what?"
The male guest was in his thirties, wearing a brown tweed jacket and light yellow trousers, with his hair flattened and a simple dark bowler hat at hand.
He looked ordinary, like most people in the tavern, with black hair and light blue eyes. He was not good-looking, but not ugly either, and lacked any distinctive features.
The narrator in his eyes was a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, with an upright figure and slender limbs. He also had short black hair and light blue eyes, but his facial features were profound and eye-catching.
The young man looked at the empty wine glass in front of him and sighed:
"Then?

"Then I'll quit my job and go back to the country, and come here to brag to you."
As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face, a smile with a hint of mischief.
The male guest was stunned for a moment:
"What you just said was just bragging?"
"Haha." Laughter broke out around the bar.
The laughter subsided for a moment, and a thin middle-aged man looked at the slightly embarrassed guest and said:
"Stranger, you actually believed Lumian's story? He tells a different story every day. Yesterday he was a poor wretch whose fiancée broke off their engagement, and today he's become a corpse keeper!"
"Yeah, that's nonsense!" another tavern regular said.
They were all farmers from the large village of Cordu, and they wore short jackets that ranged from black to gray to brown.
The black-haired young man named Lumian slowly stood up with his hands on the bar, and said with a smile:
