New Environment, Starting from Garbage Day

"So there are these big guys in the Omen... Speaking of which, did this thing become an Omen after a Male Fire Dragon crossed over, or did it become a Male Fire Dragon by devouring the corresponding Element?"

Looking at the flying dragon that swallowed a corpse in just a few bites, Feng Xue's thoughts drifted uncontrollably. After all, he still lacked sufficient information about Omens. However, judging from his current Phantoms, the probability of mutation after becoming an Omen was quite high.

"But if that's the case, would becoming a Supernatural Tale affect one's own state? For example, if a man became a Slit-Mouthed Woman, would he turn female?" Feng Xue shivered at the thought and warned himself in his heart to be cautious when condensing Tags.

As Feng Xue pondered, the Male Fire Dragon had finished eating the corpse outside the giant egg. It raised its head like a chick, looked around, let out another ear-piercing roar, and then flapped its wings, ascending into the sky amidst the chaotic airflow.

Watching the giant figure gradually disappear, Feng Xue finally breathed a sigh of relief. He tightened his hood, maintained his aura concealment, and cautiously walked out of the woods. As he reached the edge of the giant egg, the technologically advanced wall opened a passage just wide enough for two people to walk side-by-side.

"Phew..." Looking at the deep passage before him, Feng Xue actually relaxed. At least his guess was correct; entering other Landfill Areas didn't require any special credentials, as long as it wasn't an Omen.

However, he didn't let his guard down. He prepared himself to see a group of people guarding the wall the moment he entered, and walked through the nearly twenty-meter-long corridor.

The scene of being surrounded that he imagined did not appear. When Feng Xue once again stood in the light cast by the wall, a sense of security suddenly enveloped him.

Although he hadn't encountered any substantial danger, the mental pressure still left Feng Xue mentally exhausted. Before he could even take a breather, a vibration suddenly came from his pocket.

"Detected departure from work area. Bind to a new work location?"

Startled, Feng Xue looked at the Work Card's prompt, unsure where to vent his frustration. However, he ultimately suppressed the urge to curse and tapped confirm, then began to choose his new home.

Yes, because he had re-bound his work location, the Infinite City had also assigned him new housing.

Opening the Map, Feng Xue didn't make a decision immediately. Instead, he began to examine the general distribution of this Landfill Area. Compared to the previous one, this area was slightly larger, with a total area of nearly fifty square kilometers. Unlike the Manager's gang in the last Landfill Area whose name he never even knew, the Manager of this Landfill Area was generous enough to name their base camp after the gang. Therefore, Feng Xue could also know the gang's name through the "Cross Sword Guild Base" marker on the Map.

Based on his experience in the previous Landfill Area, Feng Xue still chose his new home diagonally opposite the Manager's gang's base camp. The Cross Sword Guild was located in the north of the city, so Feng Xue naturally chose an apartment in the south.

However, to his surprise, the first night after moving was unexpectedly peaceful. Compared to his previous unit, which almost every night had one or two corpse collection missions, this place was excessively quiet.

But Feng Xue didn't believe that the death rate here was truly low. Otherwise, where did those corpses that the Male Fire Dragon ate come from?

In the early morning, Feng Xue woke up from his sleep. It was already 6:20 AM. He wandered around the still somewhat unfamiliar apartment a couple of times, then pushed open the door, ready to see the Landfill Area he hadn't been able to observe closely last night.

To his surprise, although this Landfill Area still had the vibe of a Southeast Asian slum, with corrugated iron houses and integrated board houses everywhere, it had a completely different prevalence of Transportation Tools compared to his previous unit.

To put it this way, in the previous Landfill Area, Feng Xue mostly saw people walking on the streets. But in this Landfill Area, there were many motorcycles parked by the roadside, and he could even occasionally see one or two cars.

Although it was still a distance from the crowded roads full of cars before his transmigration, this was undoubtedly a qualitative difference.

"It's only a little over two kilometers away, is the wealth gap this large? Or does the Cross Sword Guild here have professions like mechanics?"

Feng Xue thought with some confusion, but he couldn't ask anyone. He could only continue to wander around the vicinity as planned.

If there's one place you must go upon arriving at a Landfill Area, it's naturally the local Garbage Dump. According to the information he received from Old Li before, the Garbage Day for each Landfill Area was different. It was only when Feng Xue arrived at the Garbage Dump that he suddenly realized why he hadn't received any corpse collection missions last night—

Because today was Garbage Day.

Seeing the Garbage Dump already crowded with people, Feng Xue didn't linger. He immediately found a Locker Room. However, he didn't use the storage locker. Instead, he spent 100 Tower coins to buy a Scavenger Set. After all, Old Li had also said that the storage locker wasn't that secure. Rather than worrying about his Phantoms being there, it was safer to keep them at his own home.

A short while later, Feng Xue, dressed in a Scavenger Set, reappeared outside the Garbage Dump. He watched the constantly moving clock and observed the [Novice Guide]s constantly moving around among the crowd.

Although Old Li was a bit greedy, it had to be said that he provided a lot of help for Feng Xue's initial survival. The Novice Guide profession itself made it easy to access all sorts of information, so moonlighting as an Information Broker was quite normal.

Just as he was contemplating whether to find a Novice Guide who looked approachable to strike up a conversation, a piercing buzzing sound suddenly came from the sky.

Although he had changed Landfill Areas, the special effect when the garbage was about to fall was exactly the same.

Even though he had seen it once, Feng Xue couldn't help but cast his gaze towards the deep, dark hole connecting to the other world. The thought even crossed his mind, "If I could fly, could I travel to the other world through this hole?"

However, this thought didn't last long before a large amount of garbage began to fall from the depths of the clouds. In an instant, Feng Xue felt a strong sense of incongruity.

Because the garbage falling from this dark cloud was fundamentally different from that of the previous Landfill Area.

How fundamentally different?

The art style! The art style was different!

That's right, the art style.

The garbage that fell in the previous Landfill Area, although diverse in type and spanning across ancient and modern technology, contained everything from futuristic weapons like EVA Entry Plugs and Personal Power Armor to ancient cold weapons like Hand-and-a-half Swords and Cross Swords. He even found the corpse of a sniper in a Ghillie Suit and buildings destroyed by bombs.

But the garbage falling here was completely different. At a glance, it was all sorts of Transportation Tools. Bicycles and small cars were one thing, but there were even High-speed Rails and Airplanes. However, what made Feng Xue most speechless was that he even saw a Flying Saucer!

That's right, a Flying Saucer! The kind of thing aliens ride in children's science fiction!

"Isn't this a transportation tool world? I wonder if I can pick up a Kamen Rider?"
