How long would it take for a person to spend their first sum of money after being transported to a new world?
It might be different for everyone, but for Lin Sanjiu, the answer was four seconds.
To be more precise, she had already spent her first sum of money before she opened her eyes in the new world.
"Hey."
Lin Sanjiu heard a hoarse voice that sounded as if the person had smoked too much tobacco. It seemed to be coming from a very far place. Then, she felt something hard poking her arm. Lin Sanjiu's foggy consciousness gradually came back to her.
"Open your eyes," the hoarse voice urged, "When did you come in?"
Lin Sanjiu's nerves and muscles had already reacted the moment she opened her eyes. Lin Sanjiu tilted her body and leaped up. However, the next second, the back of her head hit something with a loud thud. A dull thud reverberated through her skull, and she saw stars.
"What's wrong with you?" the hoarse voice asked in a surprised tone, "Do you have post-traumatic stress disorder?"
"What?"
Lin Sanjiu pressed the back of her burning head, and her vision finally cleared up. There was a plump dark-skinned woman clad in an aqua red chiffon dress embroidered with gold threads. Her thick black braid hung over her voluptuous breasts.
The dark-skinned woman was hunched over Lin Sanjiu. She peered at Lin Sanjiu from head to toe, and her thick lips were pursed unhappily. The moment she opened her mouth, the hoarse voice that was accompanied by the smell of tobacco rushed out, "I'm talking to you. How did you get in?"
Lin Sanjiu did not answer. Instead, she looked around.
She was half-kneeling in a cramped white mud hut. The distance between the ceiling and the floor was barely enough for a ten-year-old child. There was nothing else but a pillow and a blanket rolled up at the corner of the tatami floor. Lin Sanjiu had no choice but to lower her head and curl up her body because the dark-skinned woman had filled up the other half of the hut. It was as if the hut was about to burst open.
"Where … Where am I?" Lin Sanjiu was tall and had long legs. She knocked her limbs against the wall a few times when she moved. "Who are you?"
The face of the dark-skinned woman in the gorgeous gauze dress immediately fell.
She waved a short bamboo stick in her hand. She must have used it to poke Lin Sanjiu a few times just now. Then, her plump body moved out of the room with incredible agility. She was like a fat otter crawling out of its hole. The door frame was much narrower than her body. Outside, she took a deep drag of her cigarette and cursed in a low voice, "I stepped on sh * t. Here comes another drug addict."
"What?" Lin Sanjiu crawled to the door, "Wait a minute, I didn't take any drugs. How can I take drugs? What drugs? Forget it, I mean, I just teleported to this world … This is the Heaven Underworld, right? "
At that time, the grand prize insisted on sending her to the Twelve Worlds, so she went with the flow and chose the Heaven Underworld. After all, it was safer to go to the bamboo forest after gathering information in the Twelve Worlds. She would be in another world in the blink of an eye.
The dark-skinned woman paused when she heard Lin Sanjiu's question. She suddenly bent down and blocked the door. She stared at Lin Sanjiu for half a second with her big, black eyes with long lashes.
"I misunderstood," the woman finally smiled. The smoke of cheap tobacco rose from her scarlet lips, "Yes, this is the Heaven Underworld. You really know how to pick a place. You are a lucky chap. "
Lin Sanjiu looked at the woman suspiciously for a while. "Huh?" she asked.
The dark-skinned woman patted the door frame and smiled, "Well, you know about teleportation. If we teleport to a bad place, we won't even be able to survive. Especially if we teleport to Underworld, it's even more dangerous. A few years ago, the Overground Train was opened here, and something like this happened … Everything was fine, but suddenly, an unlucky person was teleported to the originally empty track. In the blink of an eye, a train whizzed over, and the poor person didn't even have time to open his eyes before he was hit and killed with a bang. Tell me, don't you think you teleported well? "
Judging from the woman's expression, it was as if the dark-skinned woman was the reason Lin Sanjiu didn't die before she could open her eyes.
"What kind of place did I teleport to?"
The dark-skinned woman coughed and brought the paper between her fingers to her lips. She took a deep puff, and her cheeks sunk in. After the puff of smoke dissolved into her internal organs, the dark-skinned woman grinned. She stretched out her plump arm, which was adorned with countless gold rings, "This is the 'Lost Dog' Capsule Hotel. I'm the owner of this hotel, Dali."
'With this kind of name, will there really be any customers? '
Lin Sanjiu lowered her eyes and looked at the hand.
The woman didn't seem to want to shake hands with Lin Sanjiu because the hand was spread out in front of her. The ring, the red silk string, the palm print … Everything was clear.
When she raised her head again, the owner of the "Lost Dog" Capsule Hotel seemed a little impatient. She shook her plump hand, "Huh?"
"What?" Lin Sanjiu asked blankly.
Dali rolled her eyes, which were twice as big as a normal person's. "You are using my room. Don't you have to pay for it?"
"I just need to teleport for a while. In a few seconds …" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but rub her temples and sigh. Judging from Dali's expression, she probably wouldn't let Lin Sanjiu leave the hotel if she didn't charge her for the room. "How much is it?"
"It's a clear price. What do you want to pay with?" Dali laughed again. "Red crystals? It's not expensive. You can stay here for 24 hours. I only need two medium-sized capsules. "
The price seemed to be quite high in the Twelve Worlds Centrum.
Dali threw away the cigarette butt and happily took the two medium crystals. She knocked them lightly and carefully put them into the pouch on her waist. The owner was quite fair. As she moved away from the door, she reminded Lin Sanjiu, "It's only ten in the morning. You can stay here until this time tomorrow."
Lin Sanjiu crouched and crawled out of the doghole-like door. She stepped into the corridor. As expected of a capsule hotel, it was as cramped and cramped as it was outside the room. Horizontal and vertical white mud walls separated the three to four meters high and a few hundred square meters wide space into many passageways. On each wall, there were small doors of different heights. However, the distribution of the rooms was very arbitrary. There were two or three doors here and there, and there were none. It was as if the person who planned the rooms was drunk at that time.
From afar, a male posthuman walked past the end of the corridor with a toothbrush in his mouth. There was a faint sound of music coming from one of the doors nearby. The person singing along with the music was completely out of tune. There was also a girl poking her head out of a door on a higher level. She was begging her friend to buy something for her.
No matter how many disasters and hardships they had gone through, it seemed that all they needed was a spark of hope, and human beings could take root and be reborn again. They could thrive along the narrow cracks of fate.
If Nvywa was here, she would definitely say, "The more unwelcome something is, the harder it is to chase it away."
Lin Sanjiu stared at the people in the hotel and was lost in her thoughts. When she turned around, she realized that Dali had already walked far away. She quickly caught up to her and called out, "Boss!"
"What's up?" The plump, dark-skinned woman turned around and asked. She was holding a notebook that she had taken out of nowhere.
"This is my first time here. I want to ask you about the Heaven Underworld. Did you say that this is the Underworld District? "
"Room 225," Dali answered as she looked down at the notebook. "Yeah. Is this your first time in this world? This place is divided into the Heaven District and the Underworld District. Sigh, it's time for Room 228 to hurry up … But the posthumans divide the rooms among themselves. In fact, you won't find any walls or anything like that. "
"Why are there divisions?"
"Ahem. Have you heard of this saying? Wherever there are people, there are classes, "Dali said without turning her head. "Let me put it this way. The Heaven District is different from this place … You can just stay in the Underworld. After all, you can find everything here."
Lin Sanjiu followed closely behind Dali. She couldn't afford to pay the two medium crystals for nothing. Then, she asked again, "Do you know where I can check and post information? Also, where is the Consular Officer Association? "
"Oh," Dali replied. She suddenly stopped and stretched her arm to knock on the door above her head.
"You know about the Mokugyo Forum, right? It's a chain store in most of the Twelve Worlds Centrum. " The countless golden rings on her arm jingled for a while, but no one came to knock on the door. Dali raised her voice and yelled, "Check the room!" Then, she turned to Lin Sanjiu and said, "You are taller. Can you help me push the door open and see if there is anyone inside?"
"No," Lin Sanjiu replied. Just like her room, this room looked like the drum of a washing machine.
Dali closed the door and turned the large emerald ring on her finger. Then, she used the emerald ring to hit the metal at the corner of the door. Just like a special effect from a movie, the door bent and shrunk into her ring.
The white mud wall was empty. Lin Sanjiu couldn't tell that there used to be a room.
Lin Sanjiu started to understand why the rooms in the capsule hotel were distributed so carelessly. "When someone wants to stay in the room, they just put the room into the wall?" Dali's words were literally "taking the room away". Lin Sanjiu started to understand why the rooms in the capsule hotel were distributed so carelessly.
"Yes. That's why I was shocked when I saw you. I don't remember getting a room for you. What did you ask? Oh, the Consular Officer Association in the Heaven Underworld is not open to the public, "Dali crossed out" 225 "on her notebook." If you want a visa, you can go to the Mokugyo Forum. You can get it in one go. All the Consular Officers have posted information about the rooms for sale there. "
Lin Sanjiu exhaled. From the looks of it, the location she was transported to was pretty good. At least, in this unfamiliar world, she could get some information by spending a little money.
"Where is the Mokugyo Forum?" she asked, "What should I —"
Before she could finish her sentence, a blast of air erupted from the corridor deep inside the hotel. The flames and the fragments of the door flew toward the corridor in the blink of an eye.
"There are always these brainless b * stards!" Dali cursed angrily. She kept her notebook in her pocket and rushed toward the burning room. She was so anxious that her forehead was covered with a layer of sweat. She was not in the mood to deal with the guests who had a stomach full of questions. She pointed behind her and said, "After you get out of the main door, you can find someone to ask!"
"Thank you. I'm leaving now. Be careful!" Lin Sanjiu shouted from behind her.
