The scene in front of him made Yun Ming think, "Is the way I opened the door wrong?"
Yun Ming analyzed the opening CG. Since the narration clearly mentioned "the middle of the 21st century", the setting of this world should be a future with stronger technological capabilities.
As a result, what Yun Ming saw when he opened the door was that both men and women were wearing suits similar to factory uniforms, and their simplicity was comparable to the blue-gray sea before my country's reform and opening up; these people's office supplies were even more crude and rudimentary, including computers, There were no printers, copies, etc., and a woman was still sharpening a pencil with a razor blade.
"What kind of trouble is this?" Yun Ming was shocked by the scene in front of him: "This is a true portrayal of our people in the 1980s. Where is the nuclear war wasteland that was promised?"
"Hey! Mr. Christopher!" Ms. Blade raised her head and greeted Yun Ming: "Are you going to get off work?"
"The NPC came up to talk to me, that's good." Yun Ming immediately decided to take advantage of Lady Blade's words: "Yes, when will you go back, Jenny."
Ms. Blade's nameplate was pinned to the left breast of her blouse. Yun Ming used the time to answer and ask a few questions to get closer to her, and clearly saw the nameplate that read: Jenny, Ministry of Railways.
Jenny frowned: "It won't be too early, Mr. Christopher, because of the train accident half a month ago, our entire Ministry of Railways will be held accountable, and I will be leaving here soon. I only hope that Mayor Ethan will take good care of me recently." For the sake of my hard work, I was assigned to work in the cafeteria. That was the best destination I could think of."
Yun Ming sounded familiar: "Are you talking about the train accident that happened on May 4th?" He had just read the accident report and had a vague impression: "I remember that more than thirty people died."
"What else could it be like? My childhood playmate was sitting on the train that was involved in the accident. Unfortunately, she didn't escape." Jenny said, her eyes turning red.
"I regret."
"Actually, I am lucky, Mr. Christopher." Jenny wiped the corner of her eyes: "My friend had asked me to go to other cities before. She is such a person who is not attached to her family, but I rejected her because I was worried about my parents. Now, It turns out I was right.”
"I'll go, sister, your logic is a bit strong." Yun Ming roared in his heart: "This has nothing to do with whether you love home or not."
"Mr. Christopher," Jenny's eyes were sincere and her tone was sincere: "You have said before that you want to leave here and go to other cities. Look at this accident. It is really dangerous to leave Underground City 65."
Yun Ming looked at Jenny like a monkey at this time: "Jenny, the train accident is only a small probability event after all; besides, if it's dangerous, I just don't take the train."
"What are you talking about?" Jenny didn't seem to understand: "Besides trains, are there any other ways of traveling between the two cities?"
Yun Ming was stunned.
…
Yun Ming walked out of the city hall door. It's said to be a city government, but it's actually just a three-story building. In the building, including Christopher, who he plays, there are only about twenty civil servants. This is the entire government staff in underground city No. 65.
There is no need to doubt whether such a small number of people is enough. The answer is yes, because the city only has a population of about a thousand.
"So that's it," Yun Ming had already gotten a lot of information from Jenny: "After the nuclear war, the surviving people moved to live underground. There are nearly a thousand settlements similar to Underground City No. 65 around the world, and these are all small underground cities. , on top of this, there are medium-sized underground cities that can accommodate tens of thousands of people, and large underground cities that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people."
"The railway is the only transportation link between all underground cities. The No. 65 underground city where I am is a satellite city of another medium-sized underground city and the terminal station of the railway. Because of the accident half a month ago, this city and The flow of materials and people in other places has been cut off and has not been restored yet. Hmm... the setting of this part is quite similar to "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress"."
"Each underground city ensures life through the integration of their own products. Small underground cities like Underground City No. 65 are, to put it bluntly, raw material production sites and factories for simple rough processing. Underground City No. 65 plays the role of a farm. Responsible for providing food to medium-sized underground cities."
Yun Ming came to the street. This was the only street in No. 65 Underground City. It was only about 500 meters long. In addition to the city government building, there are a small clinic, several repair shops, a large number of residential buildings, and a pitiful few commercial stores on both sides of the street. The Yesterday once more restaurant where Yun Ming and Elena met is at the end of this street. With Yun Ming's pace, it can be reached in just a few minutes, which is much shorter than he had expected. So after he learned the location of the restaurant from Jenny, he simply chatted for a while and figured out the settings of this world.
"The current Earth government implements an economic policy with public ownership as the mainstay and private ownership as the supplement. After all, productivity has regressed to this level after the war." Yun Ming thought of the simple uniforms worn by his colleagues: "Jenny once said that she hopes When I was transferred to work in the canteen, I didn’t understand it at the time; now that I think about it, in an era where everyone eats a lot of food, being able to help in the canteen is indeed a great job.”
Thinking of this, Yun Ming smiled again: "But compared to being a civil servant, being sent to the cafeteria to mop the floor and make meals is really considered to be demoted."
"The technology in this world has declined terribly. Apart from the phone in Christopher's office, I haven't seen any high-tech industrial products. Oh, I almost forgot about this." Yun Ming took something out of his pocket. It was a magnetic card. Yun Ming didn't know what it was used for before, but now he understood.
"This magnetic card is probably the most high-tech thing in Dungeon 65. It also explains why I didn't find a wallet on Christopher. In this world, business is sluggish, the monetary system has collapsed, and consumption can be done by earning work points."
This magnetic card is equivalent to a salary slip and is used worldwide. Yun Ming held it, and felt a sense of familiarity in his heart: On the day he traveled through time, he used his campus card to pay for meals in the school cafeteria. Aren't the magnetic cards in his hands and the campus cards similar in purpose and purpose?
Shaking his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, Yun Ming would think about the past things later, but Yun Ming still focused on clearing the level first.
It was only a few hundred meters away in an instant. When Yun Ming looked up, the signboard for Yesterday once more was right in front of him. He looked at his watch, five fifty.
"My previous guess about the location of the restaurant was wrong. The size of Underground City No. 65 is too small. As a result, there is only this short street in the city center, and limited businesses can only be concentrated here. The system left me such a long time to find it. The location of the restaurant is also to give me time to obtain more information. Speaking of which, Jenny taking the initiative to talk to me must be a system arrangement."
"Because even if I can't solve the memo puzzle, I just need to go out of the government building and search around the street. After I finish searching, I will find that there is no other decent date in underground city 65 except Yesterday once more restaurant. The location is right, and Meng can get it right."
Yun Ming's thoughts were like lightning: "From 5:15 when I received the task to 6:00 on the date, these forty-five minutes are just a matter of solving puzzles and finding NPCs for players who have the ability to solve puzzles. time for questioning; on the contrary, players who have not solved the puzzle can use this time to find possible date locations. If the puzzle cannot be solved and the location is too difficult to find, players who have not completed the task will be dismissed as game failure. Settlement affects the game experience too much.”
"Huh... So from a certain point of view, Jenny's proactive conversation is a reward for me to solve the puzzle. Players can easily get the information they want through this talkative NPC." After sorting out, Yun Ming revealed Smiling complacently: "This is how smart people play games."
Opening the door of the restaurant, Yun Ming stepped in. As soon as I entered the door, a clear prompt sounded in my ears:
[The current task has been completed]
[Task has been updated]
"Let me take a look at the new mission." Yun Ming does not need to open the void panel in front of him, he just has an idea in his mind, and the system will display the next stage of the mission in front of Yun Ming.
"What the hell?" Yun Ming was shocked at the first sight: "Are you kidding me?"
The new task is
[Explain your relationship with Elena to Laura]
