New World

Watching the green-haired (tentacle) girl in front of him deftly stuff the house into his suitcase, Feng Xue's lips twitched slightly. Her appearance was exactly the same as the instant noodle-pressing Cthulhu figurine he had bought in his previous life, so much so that he didn't dare to take off his filter.

Regardless, the house was acquired. Feng Xue moved her Suzhou Style Villa to the eleventh floor and began her daily Reforge.

The eleventh floor challenge was much easier than he had imagined. He obtained the property on his first attempt, which gave him the urge to continue climbing higher.

However, he quickly suppressed his suicidal thoughts.

The main reasons for being able to debunk this mysterious Weird Tale, whose background is unknown, can be attributed to three aspects:

Firstly, the S-Clash Driver protected him from the effects of the deep-sea environment.

Secondly, the Gynomorphic Filter helped him avoid potential Mental Pollution.

Thirdly, Abe no Hirakiri Ya ignored the tenacious vitality brought about by his enormous size.

It was these three coincidences combined that led to Feng Xue's success this time.

After making adjustments to the challenge space, Feng Xue took out the materials he had acquired from the Landfill Area and began a new round of large-scale construction. Perhaps he was really lucky today. Although he didn't get a single god-level Phantom Object similar to the S-Clash Driver, he did get a few that could be rated as excellent in the Infinite City Black Market.

"Well, it's better than nothing." Feng Xue packed up the camera, mushrooms, mask, and other odds and ends in a cloth Wrapping Cloth, then started staring blankly at the yogurt container in front of her.

That's right, after the Lucky Milk, this time he melted a bottle of Lucky Yogurt.

Overall, judging from the shipment situation, it's at least better than the last milk shipment.

This time, in addition to the Lucky Cat's Lucky Charm, he also encountered the Iron Man and the Gathering Technique.

The skill [Cat's Transport Iron Man] prevents the cat from becoming stunned when attacked while in a "transporting" state, while [Cat's Gathering Technique] increases the number of times resources can be gathered.

Of course, these are all effects within the game; Feng Xue has no idea what changes will actually occur in reality.

"It's at least stronger than the Strong Person Challenge Technique." Feng Xue recalled the screen full of red dots after her last transmigration. Although she knew it wasn't the drink's fault, she still felt a little apprehensive.

In the days that followed, Feng Xue remained confined to her villa, spending her days either Reforge Phantom Object or practicing martial arts and copying books.

If there's any change, it's that now even when he goes to take a shower, he has to pack all his belongings and carry them in his hands first, to avoid the situation of being naked like last time.

Whether it's true that cat drinks can increase the chances of doors opening or not, on the third night after he drank the Lucky Yogurt, his bedroom door was locked, and opposite the door was a dark, cramped room.

"Tsk... it looks like a modern world." Feng Xue looked at the room opposite the door. Judging from the dust, no one had been here for a long time.

"An abandoned bedroom? Seems pretty lucky?" Feng Xue checked her equipment again, first putting on the Phantom of the Opera's Evening Gown, then the yellow suit, then the armor, and finally a Kamen Rider transformation.

After donning all the equipment he could find, he used his Hermit Authority disguise himself as an artsy young man in a yellow trench coat carrying Guitar Case. This time, however, he also carried a cane.

Stepping through the door, Feng Xue stood on the ground of this other world. Although she didn't know how much time had passed during this journey, the scenery inside the bedroom was not significantly different from when she first entered the door.

Although they appeared to be empty-handed, their hands, protected by two layers of armor, touched the furniture in the room. The room was small, barely big enough to fit a bed, but there were traces of something that had been pasted on the walls, probably posters or photos.

Lifting the dust-covered, faintly musty-smelling blanket, Feng Xue saw stained sheets, but otherwise, there were no other noticeable marks.

"It's basically confirmed to be a modern world, but I don't know the specific level of technology. By the way, the stains on this bed are mostly near the pillows. Is it because I was eating in bed?"

Feng Xue muttered to herself, but judging from the details such as the fabric of the bedding and the cutting of the bed, the industrial level should be at the level of the late 20th to early 21st century.

Considering that such a cramped house clearly isn't the residence of a Rich Person, the estimate of its technological level could be even higher.

Confirming that she wouldn't get any more information by looking any further, Feng Xue turned around and placed her hand on the only door in the room again. As the 24-hour countdown began, this door became just another ordinary door to Feng Xue.

"Click..."

The doorknob was turned, and a piercing noise immediately poured into the room from the crack in the door. Caught off guard, Feng Xue was startled by the sudden noise and almost immediately assumed a fighting stance. However, he quickly calmed himself down because he realized that it was just excessively chaotic household noise.

The sounds of car horns, shop loudspeakers announcing the last day of advertisements, music from square dancing, and live broadcasts...

All sorts of sounds mingled together, yet there wasn't a single trace of them before Feng Xue pushed open the door.

"I retract my previous statement." Feng Xue frowned slightly as she looked at the small window at the end of the narrow, cramped passage, its light shimmering and polluting.

"At least the soundproofing in this house is far superior to that of the early 21st century."

Walking through the narrow corridor, carefully avoiding doors that might open at any moment, Feng Xue suddenly felt as if she had returned to the Apartment Building where she lived as a child in her previous life. However, compared to the Apartment Building, the corridor here was even narrower. Fortunately, there were no various Miscellaneous Item along the way, nor did she see a communal kitchen. At the end, there was a room with what appeared to be male and female signs. Although the signs were not quite the same as those on Earth, it was definitely a bathroom.

Taking a few steps to the not-so-large window, Feng Xue looked out and immediately saw towering skyscrapers, neon-lit billboards, dazzling lights, and projection screens that only appear in science fiction novels, as well as ghostly young men with unpleasant engine noises occasionally passing by the window.

"Wow, this art style is amazing! I almost thought I was still in South District!"

Feng Xue grinned, glanced back at the pigeonhole-like apartment, and then looked out the window at the veritable steel jungle.

"High technology, low living standards—it's safe to call this a Cyberpunk World, right?"

Punk, but not just punk. Cyber, but not entirely cyber.
