Lin Sanjiu was surprised that the "Lost Dog" capsule hotel, which seemed to be quite busy, had such a narrow iron gate. There was even a lock on the door. Lin Sanjiu doubted that she was in the right place. She peered through the iron gate. It was quiet outside, and the warm sunlight shone in her field of vision. She couldn't see anything for a moment.
"Dali pointed in this direction … This should be the entrance of the hotel, right?" Lin Sanjiu reached out her hand to pull the lock. Unexpectedly, it was not locked at all. The door opened easily.
"Looks like I'm right."
The iron gate creaked open, and a cloud of dust fell from the door frame. Lin Sanjiu coughed a few times. She raised her head, a little confused, but she still walked into the alleyway.
It was a long and narrow alley. Both sides of the alley were built with red brick walls. The top of the wall seemed to be melting in the sunlight. It looked as good as when it was first built. There were no signs of the apocalypse. Lin Sanjiu had to ask the hotel owner about the cause of the destruction of the Heaven Underworld.
It was a nice day. Under the warm white sunlight, even the shadows at the entrance of the alley seemed to be blown by the breeze under the blue sky, swaying in the distance.
Lin Sanjiu strolled toward the entrance of the alley, listening to this unfamiliar world. Occasionally, the wind would carry the voices of people in the distance. There were people hawking their wares, chatting, and sometimes, there was the faint sound of an engine. When the wind blew past, the sounds would drift away, leaving behind a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
It was hard to believe that she had finally returned to the human world.
If she had not entered the Twelve Worlds Centrum, she wouldn't have realized how much she missed the human society.
There were people coming and going on the street outside the alley, but this alley was still cold and quiet. She was the only one strolling forward slowly. In this long alley, other than the "Lost Dog" hotel, there was no other door that was open. It seemed that all the entrances were sealed by the red brick walls. Lin Sanjiu wondered if it was because of the apocalypse.
When Lin Sanjiu was near the entrance of the alley, a girl passing by glanced at her from the corner of her eye. When Lin Sanjiu's eyes met hers, the girl immediately looked away as if she had been scalded. She hastened her pace and disappeared into the crowd.
"Is there something on my face?" She raised her hand to touch her face. Of course, she didn't find anything.
She let go of her doubts and was about to step out of the alley when she felt something in the air around her waist. Her brain quivered, and she immediately kicked the ground and retreated. However, it seemed that her reaction was unnecessary because the thing fell to the ground the moment she touched it.
A yellow ribbon glowed almost completely white under the sunlight, so much so that the words on the ribbon could not be seen clearly.
Lin Sanjiu was shocked and suspicious at the same time. She cautiously inched forward. She had walked all the way down this straight alley and looked at the entrance of the alley. There was nothing here, so why was there a ribbon on the railing?
She squatted down beside the yellow ribbon and looked at it carefully. She was speechless.
"Thank you for activating this instance dungeon." At least ten types of words were written densely on the ribbon. "Your aura has been recorded. Please flip to the other side for details."
Lin Sanjiu did not flip over. Instead, she jumped up and looked around quickly. "A pocket dimension? Is this a pocket dimension? "
However, the red-bricked alley was still as peaceful as ever. The sunlight shone through the blue sky and the red walls. Specks of dust floated in the air. Lin Sanjiu's vigilance was a little funny. Lin Sanjiu spun around a few times until she felt that she was being silly. Then, she finally flipped the ribbon over.
"This pocket dimension does not have a space restriction, and there is no requirement to clear it. You can just walk in and leave." There was only one language on the other side of the ribbon, and it was the only language that Lin Sanjiu could understand. "The only requirement of this pocket dimension is that you must check-in daily."
"… What?"
She closed her eyes and rubbed the space between her eyebrows. When she opened her eyes again, the words "check-in daily" were still glaring at her.
"The check-ins of this pocket dimension are distributed at different locations in this apocalyptic world." The yellow ribbon slid down from her hand, and more and more words appeared on it. "The first time you walk into the check-in area, you will automatically become a player of this pocket dimension. From now on, you can enter the check-in area once a day (there is no restriction on the check-in area). Once your aura is recorded at the check-in area, the check-in will be considered successful. The check-in must continue until the day of transfer. "
In other words, this red-bricked alley was a check-in area.
If she could condense and extract her bad luck, it would definitely be an apocalyptic weapon …
"If you successfully check-in daily, you will have a chance to receive a souvenir gift on the day of transfer. If your check-in is interrupted, your life will be in danger. For the safety and happiness of you and your family, please do not forget to check-in daily. "
"No wonder no one uses this alley!"
Lin Sanjiu finally realized that she had probably gone the wrong way, but it was too late. She angrily crumpled the long yellow ribbon into a ball and threw it at a corner. The moment the ribbon touched the wall, it slid into the gap between the bricks and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Hello."
A man's voice suddenly rang out of nowhere, startling Lin Sanjiu. She took half a step back and saw a hairy head poking out from the corner of the alley. It was a young man with hair that looked like it had been gnawed by a dog. He stuck his head out and grinned at her happily, "Have you stepped into the pocket dimension?"
Lin Sanjiu glared at him but did not say anything.
The young man laughed mischievously and turned over to get up. He seemed to have been sitting at the corner of the wall all this while. He did not make a sound or move, so Lin Sanjiu did not notice his presence. Now that he stood up, it was as if a mop had been erected in front of her. Layers of hair and clothes were draped over his body. He was dusty from head to toe and swayed with his movements.
"Don't look at me like that. I just want to do business with you." Mop scratched his head and his fingers suddenly stopped in his hair. When he took them out again, two of his fingers were pinched together suspiciously. Lin Sanjiu had no idea what he was picking out from his hair. He flicked his finger and a black dot flew out. He laughed, "Everyone has to find a way to survive. I am forced to do this business because I am forced to."
"What do you mean? What do you want? "Lin Sanjiu stared at him. Behind Mop, there were all kinds of posthumans shuttling back and forth. None of them looked at them as if they were used to it.
"Nothing." Mop Boy stood far away from the entrance of the alley. He stretched out his arm and pointed at a red brick on the wall. "You just activated the dungeon, so you're a player now. However, you haven't signed in yet. Come, sign in here and take a picture."
There was indeed a small line of words written on the red brick: Daily Check-In.
Lin Sanjiu patted the red brick suspiciously, and the words immediately changed to "Check-In Successful". While she was distracted, the young man with messy clothes lowered his head and reached into his pocket. Just when she was alerted, he took out a stack of booklets.
"Just stand there and look. Don't come any closer."
The Mop smiled at her gallantly and defensively, as if the stack of books were worth a fortune; and he opened one of them to reveal half a hand-drawn map on the page, and several lines of words in different languages. "Look, you will definitely need this. I have spent a lot of effort on it."
"This is …" Lin Sanjiu squinted her eyes and looked at it for a few seconds. "The booklet records … the locations of the check-in counters?"
"That's right." Mop Cloth nodded repeatedly. His countless gray locks of hair also agreed with him. "I've been in Heaven's Underworld for many years. I know very well where the bookmark is located and how many there are in total! Not only are the locations of the check-in counters recorded in the booklet, but there are also summaries of the experiences of previous players. It is definitely useful. Do you want one? It's not expensive. "
It seemed like this guy purposely waited for Lin Sanjiu, who was a newbie, to activate the pocket dimension so that he could sell his booklet to her. "Why didn't you warn them when they were about to step into the pocket dimension?" When Lin Sanjiu recalled how he hid in the corner without saying a word, she couldn't help feeling a little angry, "If I didn't bump into the yellow ribbon just now, I wouldn't have to become a player, right?"
Mop smacked his lips, and an awkward expression appeared on his face.
"That's true," he picked up another object from his scalp and flicked it away. He swung his leg impatiently, "But even without me, you still have to step into the pocket dimension anyway. Besides, this is just a check-in pocket dimension. It's just a five-minute hassle every day. It's not a big deal … If I have to sit here and warn everyone, how am I supposed to eat? "
Lin Sanjiu took a few deep breaths and managed to suppress her anger, "How much?" She had just arrived, and she still had things to do. There was no need for her to get angry over such a small matter.
"Huh?" Mop didn't seem to understand.
"Let me ask you, how much is it? I'll buy it with red crystals. "
"Oh, oh," the young man's eyes immediately lit up, "Five medium crystals for one booklet. That's a good price! I like your personality. You are very decisive … "
Lin Sanjiu's face darkened. She rummaged through her pocket and found a new problem. Before she was teleported, she grabbed a handful of red crystals and kept them with her. However, after paying Dali for the room, she didn't have enough medium crystals. The grand prize gave her a lot of red crystals, but they were all stored in a container. She had to remove her card form and crawl into the container to get them.
"Go behind the corner," Lin Sanjiu ordered. She stared at Mop Bu and walked away, "Don't look at me. I'm going to get the money!"
The container was almost the same width as the alley. Lin Sanjiu tried a few times to find the right angle before she could put it down. When she walked into the container of shiny red crystals, she felt like Scrooge McDuck swimming in a sea of gold coins. To avoid inconvenience when she needed money next time, Lin Sanjiu put a bag of red crystals into her card. Of course, the bag was given to her by Ji Shanqing.
The sudden appearance of a container in the alley attracted the attention of many passersby. Lin Sanjiu walked away from the crowd expressionlessly and put the container away.
She wasn't afraid of attracting attention because no one would expect the container to be filled with red crystals.
"Eh?" Even though Lin Sanjiu had told Mop Man not to look, he immediately stuck his head out the moment Lin Sanjiu put away the container. It was obvious that he had been paying attention to what was going on. "This is a good idea. A large container can be used as a house.
