Chapter 30: The World (1)
Chapter 30: The World (1)
During the time that he entered the Destiny Space, Han Dong was truly exhausted.
After finishing the injection of the cell essence and lying on the former Nicholas' wooden plank bed, Han Dong felt like his eyes might close at any moment.
However... before they closed, Han Dong called his sister Nina in.
One thing was commanded.
Nina slapped her chest and vowed, "Don't worry! Leave it to me, I used to go to the junkyard to scavenge for books during my apprenticeship...as long as it's related to [Mysticism], right?"
"Well, the older the better."
Han Dong asked Nina to help him find the book, for a purpose other than reading it himself.
After giving the order, Han Dong fell back to sleep.
It was dark when he woke up.
The wind-up clock on the bedside table pointed to eight o'clock sharp, the stopwatch moving at exactly the same speed as in the living world, and the day was also twenty-four hours long.
He was hungry and was about to go out for something to eat.
Who knew that Nina, who had changed into a floral dress, was waiting at the door with a sumptuous dinner, which included a whole, not-too-large roast chicken.
One had to know that such a family would have to spend a large amount of money to take out a roast chicken.
At the same time, there were also a large number of old books stacked along the walls on either side of Han Dong's dorm room entrance, and it had to be said that Nina's efficiency was really high.
"Mom made this especially for you... guessed you'd be hungry as soon as you woke up. Brother, you can barely eat when you're in such a dangerous situation in Destiny Space, right?
Take it in and eat it, I'm not hungry!"
Nina, who was holding the roast chicken, deliberately emphasized the word 'not hungry', but she was actually gluttonous.
Although Han Dong was tempted to devour the roast chicken alone, but considering Nina's availability and the heavy identity of 'brother', he still shared one of the chicken legs out, while advising to.
"Come to my room later."
"Good!" Nina, who received the chicken leg, was delighted.
Han Dong felt there was an ambiguity in the wording again and corrected it immediately, "Come to my room, just asking you some information about the Holy City and this world."
"Uh-huh!"
Han Dong served dinner and locked the door.
The roast chicken, vegetable salad, and carrot stew were temporarily placed on a still tidy wooden table.
With a burst of evil energy escaping.
The [Sinister Chen Li], dressed in a red dress with black hair covering her face, was let out.
As Chen Li showed up, the fire within the kerosene lamp was shaking slightly.
"Miss Chen Li, there's no need to deliberately 'scare' people on a regular basis, just be normal."
"Oh! Okay."
Chen Li took out a rubber band from somewhere and quickly tied the black hair that was draped in front of her behind her head, and the evil Qi converged into her body... The painting changed and she became an ordinary lady in red.
"Have something to eat."
"Hmm..."
Chen Li, who also belonged to the human category, hadn't eaten for more than a day in order to help Han Dong... Faced with the fragrant roast chicken, she also couldn't restrain herself and gorged on it.
Soon, the two of them ransacked the sumptuous dinner.
"Have you had enough?"
"Full." Chen Li nodded her head slightly.
"Wait a while and the living conditions should improve, at least you won't starve."
"I'm fine."
Chen Li turned around twice in a narrow circle, "I want to go back... If there's any danger or if you need help, just call me again."
"Okay."
Aside from the prison as 'home', she wasn't quite comfortable with the environment in the Holy City, preferring to spend time in the prison.
This time was considered the first time the two had met outside, and the conversation had an OMG feel to it... Both of them belonged to that stuffy category, it might be better when they got familiar with each other.
Han Dong whispered, "Miss Chen Li's growth seems to be very high, and she will continue to grow as she continues to cultivate... Let's get her some books in the prison then .
Otherwise alone seems too boring."
Right after that, it was time for the important questioning.
Han Dong called Nina into his bedroom and cut to the chase.
Han Dong found a barely functioning pen in his room, ready to record the next important information.
When Nina, wearing a floral frock, entered the room, she faced Han Dong with no strangeness at all, staring at him with wide aquamarine eyes and taking the initiative to sit next to Han Dong.
"Brother, what do you want to know first?"
"Is this how your world works?"
Han Dong drew a rough map of the world in his notebook, with the European side drawn in extra detail.
"What's this?" Nina was puzzled.
"World map."
Nina looked aggravated, as if she couldn't answer the first question that Han Dong asked.
"The world...the map.
I really don't know about that, I was born in the Holy City since I was a child and never left.
I've only heard from my master that the outside world is wide open, but we don't have the opportunity or ability to see it."
"How about this then, tell me what you know about the world. What exactly is out there in the outside world? Why do humans have to live turtled up in a large metal city."
"That's what I heard from my master, about two hundred years ago... a species superior to humans was born, and in a few days the total number of humans in the world plummeted by more than 80%... it's scary!
All the remaining humans are turtled up, that's about it."
"Well! Two hundred years ago, the birth of a species superior to humans? What age was mankind in at the time that hot weapons would have been available?"
"Well... I don't know, hehe." Nina smirked with an embarrassed face.
Han Dong guessed, "The most basic artillery should have been there, yet 80% of them perished in a few days, and I think only some of the higher nations survived.
By the way, are the higher beings in the outside world afraid of copper metal?"
"Exactly! It was precisely because someone discovered this that the Holy City was built in such a form that people were able to live peacefully within."
"Copper... no wonder the level of human technology was stuck in brass, steam and gears for a long time, so copper still has such a role to play.
In that case, if I'm not mistaken, the most basic trading currency in the Holy City is also copper coins? Copper, taking the place of gold and silver, right?"
"Well, it's like this."
Han Dong continued to ask, "What about the source of the copper? The underground of the Holy City should correspond to a large amount of copper mines, right?"
"Hee hee, this I know! Master had said that the Holy City was indeed built on top of a huge natural mine, but the copper mine had been largely mined out fifty years ago during the years of extensive mining.
The only source now was the [Destiny Space].
The cost to go outside the city to mine is too high, it's basically impossible..."
"Well..."
After Han Dong recorded this important information.
He began to formally ask about the [Destiny Space].
Han Dong himself had certain speculations that he hoped to be answered here.
"Tell me in detail about the [Destiny Space]."
"Good! Hehehe, I knew you would ask about this, brother.
That's why I made a special trip to Master's house, which is a book about the Destiny Space, created by a contemporary noble writer, detailing the origins of the Destiny Space.
That... Brother, after you read it, remember to give it to me oh.
I have to return it tomorrow morning before Master discovers it."
"No problem."
Han Dong smiled as he stared at the book titled "Destiny by Origin - The Light of Hope for the Survival of Humanity".
Nina was more capable than he had imagined, and her master should be a mechanic of higher status.
The first sentence of the book's introduction had Han Dong completely immersed in it.
The sense of despair that hovered in my mind when I insighted my destiny vanished, as I understood that humanity had not been abandoned yet.
Han Dong nodded slightly when he saw when the first page of Destiny Space appeared.
"As expected, the Destiny Space appeared at almost the same time as the higher beings..."
