Chapter 3: The City That Never Sleeps
While employed by a wealthy Saudi businessman, I, along with a group of individuals, was tasked with protecting several archaeologists as we entered an undisclosed underground pyramid in Egypt to retrieve items desired by the businessman, when the pyramid collapsed
The vibrant and colorful neon lights, along with the golden characters displayed on the large screen, indicate the purpose of this luxurious building, which covers an area of several thousand square meters yet stands only ten stories high.
Because this place is not Earth
Certainly, there must be a background; otherwise, an ordinary person would not be able to maintain a stable position in such a role
Then he realized that these things had indeed existed in another world
Wu Ge, whose full name is Mu Wu, is the general manager of this entertainment club and the true person in charge. He is not yet thirty years old, but he is very shrewd and possesses great skill in his work
Feng Luo was not originally from this planet, but rather hails from Earth in the twenty-first century, where he served as an international mercenary selling his life for money
Feng Luo came here because his actual job in this world is the manager of this sleepless city. To be precise, he holds the title of deputy manager, receiving a salary and bonuses, yet he does not actually need to come to work.
A figure dressed in a black coat walked through the door, standing by the entrance. Several women, with alluring figures, dressed in azure and purple qipaos, adorned with either heavy or light makeup, immediately greeted him with smiles and bowed respectfully.
Type 99 tank, Apache, F-22, AK-47, Cobra, Stinger
As he approached the bar, the bartender in a tailcoat poured a drink for Feng Luo, and his words dispelled Feng Luo's doubts.
However, even though it is merely a nominal association, Feng Luo still comes here every so often to take a stroll, and occasionally visits a familiar bar on the second floor or engages in some physical activity at the fitness center on the fifth floor
That feeling, deadly and piercing | Exciting
Administrative Star No. 17, officially known as the Seventeenth Administrative Star of the Celestial Star Federation, is a planet whose location in the universe is fundamentally unknown. It possesses an environment relatively similar to that of Earth, making it suitable for human habitation
Brother Feng
The content of the entertainment venues in this world is almost identical to that of the similarly named places on Earth, with the only difference being that, due to the advancement of technology, prohibited substances such as drugs have nearly vanished here
This is a world that feels both strange and yet very familiar to him
Recalling up to this point, after doing over one hundred push-ups on the floor, Feng fell to the ground and entered the bathroom, which covered an area of at least 30 square meters, to take a shower and change into a new set of clothes. He then picked up a black trench coat and opened the electronic door lock
Brother Feng! You have arrived!
The new event prepared by Brother Wu, which involves bringing the equipment from "War Chronicles" to the bar for auction, has been ongoing for several days, and the number of attendees each night has been increasing.
Several tall and robust men dressed in black suits and wearing sunglasses respectfully nodded to Feng Luo in the hall
-
Then, take the elevator to the parking lot for hover cars located on the one hundredth floor of the building, and drive to the destination in a hover car after hailing one.
However, when he walked into the bar on the second floor that he often frequented, he found that the atmosphere inside was seemingly different from usual. The patrons were not drinking and chatting, nor was anyone dancing; instead, a large group was gathered around the stage in the center, seemingly watching some lively event.
The most evident proof is that the official language of the Celestial Star Federation bears a 70% similarity to Chinese. Moreover, this world also has languages and scripts similar to English
Ah, this new gentleman has offered 3,600, quite generous. 3,600 for a single bid, is there anyone else who would like to raise the price!
Feng held a glass of what is known in this world as "Blue Starry Sky," sitting at a spot by the bar, gazing far towards the center of the stage
As the wind fell casually after a sound, I stepped onto the escalator leading to the second floor
The Celestial Star Federation currently possesses more than 20 political stars, thousands of resource planets, and a vast interstellar fleet. All of this has been achieved through technological advancements of the 21st century, which would have taken hundreds of years to accomplish
City that Never Sleeps
Especially with her striking red outfit as a bunny girl, standing at a height of 1.1 meters with long legs, and her slightly sweaty, flushed face, along with her fiery red lips that move enticingly as she speaks, her captivating gaze further stirs the blood of the majority of men in the audience, causing their breaths to quicken
Fengluo had considered many possibilities in the past, yet was unable to obtain any definitive answer.
Otherworld? Transmigration? Parallel world?
Auctioning game equipment? This idea from Mu Wu is quite novel!
Six months ago, the sci-fi virtual game "War Chronicle" was released throughout the Federation, and the promotional footage revealed during its launch further confirmed Feng Luo's understanding of the reality of his first half of life
As for the underground casino on the basement level and the illegal fighting arena on the second basement level, he had little interest in them
Yes, two moons
He could even recall a time during a mission in an Arab country when a teammate, a retired U.S. Marine, with a sinister grin and blood on his face, used a shoulder-mounted Stinger to turn an arrogant Apache helicopter overhead into a fireball
Moreover, in various aspects such as architectural style and lifestyle habits, Fengluo is also able to find traces of "Earth." However, what puzzles him is that people in this world have never heard of the term "Earth," and it cannot even be found online.
The wind swirled the wine glass in hand, accompanied by a faint smile
Strangeness arises from the fact that the technology of this world is extremely advanced, and humanity has mastered the technology of space leap, entering the interstellar era
Listening to these provocative words undoubtedly leads one to misunderstand that a negotiation for some form of physical transaction is taking place
However, hanging on his chest was a necklace pendant made from the task item he once held in his hand, and the cold sensation it emitted against his skin served as a reminder that his past experiences were certainly not an illusion
The familiarity arises from the fact that this world and the Earth are undoubtedly interconnected in countless ways
Hmm
Hmm? Boss He has actually made another bid, thirty-eight hundred each time
Certainly, some transactions that are unique to interpersonal relationships still exist
On the stage stood a tall and alluring beauty, dressed in a sexy fiery red bunny outfit, her makeup enhancing her looks to a score of eighty-five. With a flushed face filled with excitement, she was hosting the auction for gaming equipment
Everyone was buried under the collapsed pyramid, but he, clutching one of the task items tightly in his hand, was drawn into a black vortex and subsequently arrived in this world
to the extent that he even doubts whether the so-called "Earth" and the so-called international mercenaries are merely experiences he has imagined? Perhaps he is actually a severely mentally ill patient in this world
Mr. Fang has offered three thousand three hundred!
The familiar names and shapes of weapons brought back the once-fading memories of my "previous life," which had gradually blurred after living in this world for three years.
A silver skyscraper towering over two hundred stories high, on the top floor of which, in a bedroom, a sci-fi-inspired silver game pod door slowly opened, and Feng Luo, dressed only in underwear, emerged, revealing his muscular physique.
This shepherding team is indeed quite skilled
Thus, the wind entered "War Chronicles" at the first moment, for perhaps this game could unravel certain mysteries in his heart
These military equipment are merely seen as items from a virtual world in the eyes of people in this world, products of the imagination of game designers
Thus, in a certain sense, such entertainment venues are more formal and cleaner compared to those in the twenty-first century
Standing on the top floor of this building, which is enough to make those with acrophobia weak in the knees, gazing at the enormous single-sided translucent nano window before me, I see two silver moons in the sky, one large and one small, as a wave of nostalgic emotions sweeps through my heart.
As people can directly experience various novel sensations in the virtual world through the simulation of sensory nerves, which are not much different from reality, there is naturally less need to resort to those drugs that have significant side effects on the body to seek stimulation
