The Su family is a well-known family in East China, and the family industry plays an important role in various fields.
But there is another thing that is as famous as the wealth of the Su family, and that is that the only grandson of the Su family today, Su Zimo, is a fool.
It is naturally impossible for a famous family like the Su family to allow a fool to be born, and Su Zimo is not born foolish. On the contrary, before the accident, Su Zimo was the favorite grandchild of the old master of the Su family. Not only was he good-looking and intelligent, but he was also gentle in temperament since he was a child. He valued his family and was praised by everyone.
But God's will is tricky. Su Zimo suffered a car accident when he was still in high school. Although his life was safe, he didn't know why he woke up and became a fool - he couldn't cry, he couldn't laugh, he couldn't speak, A fool who doesn't even have the most basic ability to live, and can only rely on people to serve from morning to night.
The grandson of the Su family was just like that.
But no one knew that there was a struggling soul hidden under the motionless body of the Su family fool!
Because Su Zimo's consciousness has always been awake!
When Su Zimo woke up from the coma of the car accident, he saw a worried grandfather. He wanted to report his safety to him, but found that he couldn't speak at all! He wanted to smile at Grandpa, but he couldn't control his expression at all. He wanted to raise his arm, but he couldn't even move the knuckle of his little finger. His eyes were already open, but he was not under Su Zimo's control even in the blink of an eye!
Su Zimo is like an unrelated soul imprisoned in an unfamiliar body. At most, he can only watch the outside world through the eyes of this body, and he can't do anything else. Whether struggling or shouting, what others see is always a beautiful but unresponsive fool's skin.
In such a life, Su Zimo spent four years in torment. He knew that his state was very wrong, and he even suspected that someone had acted in the car accident, but there was nothing he could do about it.
As time passed, Su Zimo even felt that his spirit became more and more exhausted, as if he continued to struggle, and even his last consciousness would soon disappear.
So Su Zimo learned to fall asleep in his body, wake up from time to time and continue to struggle to regain control of his body. At the same time, Su Zimo also used a deep sleep to get through this extraordinarily long time for him.
But when Su Zimo woke up again from his deep sleep, before he could see where he was, he suddenly heard the sound of an ancient computer Windows starting up, followed by another immature voice with a strong mechanical sense—
"Master, welcome back to 'Being in a Corner'."
Su Zimo opened his eyes, and he did so with his own strength!
After realizing that he had accomplished this incredible move, he shuddered at this trivial matter that others seemed to him. Then, Su Zimo realized that his body was shaking again, and he even raised his right hand tremblingly!
He can control his body now! After four years, he finally regained his body!
"Ah...cough-cough!" Su Zimo tried to speak, but his body, who had not spoken for four years, didn't seem to be used to speaking. As soon as he opened his mouth, he could feel the dryness of his voice, and then he couldn't help thinking. To cough.
But what does it matter
His body was weak and trembling, and his voice was dry and hoarse, all of which showed that Su Zimo regained control of his body!
"Here... where is it? Just now... who was talking?"
After Su Zimo got used to his body back in control for a while, he started to look around.
"shop?"
Su Zimo got up from the cold gray floor tiles, and was surprised to find that he was lying on the floor of a strange shop.
He has poor eyesight, not deep, but some astigmatism. It's just that Su Zimo hasn't worn glasses since the car accident, and there are some overlapping images when he sees things farther away.
The area of the shop is very small. There are two empty shelves with empty labels next to it, and a counter with an empty "Recommended today" sign. There is no other person besides him.
This is very strange, because even if Su Zimo is "stupid", he has always been well taken care of. Every time he wakes up, he is either in his family's house or in various country villas suitable for recuperation.
And he seemed to have heard a strange sound just now.
"Master, welcome back to 'Being in a Corner'."
"Ah." Su Zimo, who heard the voice again, supported the counter next to him and continued to stand up. After a while with his slightly weak legs, he made Su Zimo, who was supporting the counter, stand up straight in front of him.
"Master, welcome back to 'Being in a Corner'."
Su Zimo followed the sound and found that the sound was actually a small speaker placed next to the old computer behind the counter. The style of the computer is very bulky, and even from the perspective of Su Zimo four years ago, it is the kind that has long been eliminated.
The last time Su Zimo "woke up", the servants of the Su family had already used a tablet to order food in the kitchen.
While adapting to his body, Su Zimo walked inside with the counter and smashed himself into the uncomfortable chair before heaving a sigh of relief. He could feel that his body was recovering quickly, and it only took a while before he didn't need to be so gaffe.
The computer on the counter was turned on, the desktop background was pure blue, and only one software icon was placed in the center of the desktop.
The icon of the software is a white "shop", and the software name is also a simple "shop" without any fancy decorations.
"Please check the store information of 'An Yu Yi Corner'. The intelligent navigation system lacks operating energy and will be shut down in ten minutes. Please replenish the store as soon as possible and upgrade the store."
Before Su Zimo could understand what happened, he saw the mouse parked on the desktop move by himself, click on the only software, and then a simple interface with only white characters on a black background appeared in front of Su Zimo.
Because of my short-sightedness, Su Zimo rubbed his eyes, picked up a pair of glasses next to the mouse, and put them on.
It was a pair of thin-framed glasses with a silver chain. Although they kept sliding down due to the inappropriate size, it allowed Su Zimo to read the white words on a blue background clearly—
[Shop: Be in a corner]
"Ayuyuyu..." Su Zimo, whose throat was still very dry, pronounced a little strange, but he subconsciously liked this somewhat unique shop name, even if he accidentally mispronounced it, it would be inexplicable.
To be in a corner, to live in a secluded corner? Still unwilling to make progress? Comparing the two, Su Zimo still prefers the feeling of the former.
Strangely, the next second when Su Zimo misread it, the text on the first line of the software turned into—
[Shop: An Yuyi Corner (Ayuyuyu)]
Su Zimo, who had just regained control of his body, felt that he was comforted by a piece of software. But for Su Zimo, who has lost control of his body for more than four years, no matter what happens strangely, it seems to be acceptable.
So Su Zimo continued to read along the simple software text.
[Shop owner: Su Zimo]
[Lifetime deposit: 365 days]
Three hundred and sixty-five days? Su Zimo stretched out his hand and took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, before confirming that he had not read it wrong. This mysterious software not only knew his name, but also said that he had only one year left to live.
It's a bit strange to say, even though Su Zimo has been unable to control his body for four years and lives a life that ordinary people can't imagine, but he never thought of despising his own life, and never gave up trying to struggle.
Especially now that he has regained control of his body, Su Zimo wants to live a good life more than anyone else!
Three hundred and sixty-five days... it's not enough!
"The profit in the store can be exchanged for the lifespan in proportion. Please replenish the store as soon as possible and upgrade the store. The intelligent navigation system lacks operating energy and will close in nine minutes."
The childish and mechanical voice came again.
He also told Su Zimo that three hundred and sixty-five days was not the limit of his life.
But... Restocking
Su Zimo propped up his consciousness and recovered a lot of his body, and stood at the counter and looked around. If you need to restock, no matter what you think, you have to leave this weird store first.
Su Zimo had also roughly looked at the surrounding environment before, and knew that this was just a small shop with white walls and only cold floors except for the counter and two empty shelves here.
But after looking around again, Su Zimo realized that this empty shop had three doors.
One is the glass door in front of the store, but because of the metal roller shutter outside, Su Zimo can't see the scenery outside the door at all. One is the "back door" behind the counter, a small anti-theft door painted white.
The other door is on the wall beside the counter. It looks like a very ordinary sliding door, let's call it a "side door".
Su Zimo walked a little stiffly to the back door closest to him. It was good news for him that he didn't need to support the wall to walk. However, when Su Zimo tried to open the back door, he found that the back door seemed to be locked.
"Lack of operating energy, this door cannot be opened temporarily. Please replenish the goods as soon as possible. The intelligent navigation system lacks operating energy and will close in eight minutes."
As the tender and mechanical voice sounded, Su Zimo was stunned for a while, then turned to look at the front door and the side door. Unlike the back door, the front and side doors are also tightly closed, but there is a lit electronic screen on the wall next to the door.
Su Zimo walked slowly to the front door of the store, and unexpectedly found that the front door could not be opened, and found that a strange list was displayed on the electronic screen next to him. After holding the chain glasses on the bridge of his nose, Su Zimo could read the words on the list clearly—
[optional world:]
[001 Real world]
[001 Nightmare World]
[not yet turned on]
[not yet turned on]
[… ]
Except for the first and second options, all other options on the list are "not yet enabled". Su Zimo silently adapts to the weirdness around him, while selecting the "001 real world" through the touch screen.
"Lack of goods, the store can't open yet, please replenish as soon as possible. The intelligent navigation system lacks operating energy and will shut down in seven minutes." The mechanical voice appeared in time.
After ruling out two options, Su Zimo's eyes finally fell on the inconspicuous side door, and there was a touch screen of the same size next to the white frosted glass sliding door.
Standing in the empty shop, Su Zimo took a deep breath. Even though he had an unimaginable experience, at this moment he felt that he might be dreaming.
When Su Zimo walked to the side door, he found that there was a list similar to the front door on the screen next to the push door—
[optional world:]
[001 Nightmare World]
[not yet turned on]
[not yet turned on]
[… ]
Nightmare world
Seeing these familiar four words again, Su Zimo stopped and thought for a few seconds, then stretched out his hand to try to tap. Because he had failed twice before, Su Zimo subconsciously felt that the probability of success this time would not be very high.
But what Su Zimo didn't expect was...
Before he could click on the line of "001 Nightmare World", the tender and mechanical voice sounded from the counter again: "The store level is low, and Nightmare World is difficult to purchase, please prepare your master and bring your luggage. Departure, the intelligent navigation system lacks operating energy and will turn off after six minutes."
"But, I don't have any other options, do I?" Su Zimo asked, but got no response.
However, what the intelligent navigation system said just now caught Su Zimo's attention. If he heard correctly, the system seemed to have kicked the word "carrying luggage" just now.
Thinking of this, Su Zimo walked around the store again, familiarizing himself with the body that was taken over again, and at the same time trying to find out if the store had what the system called "luggage".
There are indeed very few things in the store. Except for the two empty shelves, the counter with computers and stereos, and three doors, Su Zimo only found a heavy metal signature pen under the computer keyboard. And an oversized hiking bag tucked into the cabinet below.
The black-and-grey mountaineering bag looked nothing but "big," and contained nothing but a plastic tag that couldn't be removed. And the plastic label just let Su Zimo know that this oversized mountaineering bag can hold 60L of items.
Su Zimo felt that this should be what the system called "the luggage".
Carrying the empty mountaineering bag on his shoulders, Su Zimo found that the weight of the "bag" itself was also very light, and it did not affect activities after carrying it on.
He carried the mountaineering bag like this, put the strangely heavy pen in the side zipper pocket of the mountaineering bag, and wore the pair of chain glasses he found earlier, and returned to the only possible side door.
This time, when Su Zimo stretched out his hand, he didn't hear the system prompt again. He tapped the line of "001 Nightmare World" lightly, and then saw that the white frosted glass sliding door was unlocked with a "click", and a slit opened automatically.
When Su Zimo pushed open the door, he clearly felt his heart beating faster, but Su Zimo, who had regained control of his body after three years... didn't hate this feeling like an adventure.
There was darkness behind the door, but there seemed to be faint white ripples in the darkness, as if calling for Su Zimo, who was parked at the door, to move on.
"Please let the master know that the master cannot continuously enter the nightmare world at present, and can only enter again after leaving the nightmare world for 48 hours."
"The intelligent navigation system lacks operating energy and is about to be shut down. Please restock the store as soon as possible, and upgrade the store... I look forward to seeing you again." After the door opened, the childish voice sounded again, but this time it was completely mechanical. In the voice, there seems to be a little more expectation.
Perhaps it was "encouraged" by the system. Except for Su Zimo, who had nowhere to go, he took a deep breath and walked straight into the darkness with his long legs.
When the light reappears in front of Su Zimo's eyes...
He had already appeared in this seemingly infinite corridor of the hotel corridor, and behind him was the darkness that would devour them anytime, anywhere.
…
"This...is the nightmare world?" Standing in front of the dusty mirror in the Sanctuary's washroom, Su Zimo pinched his arm, and only after the familiar and unfamiliar pain appeared, did he decide that he was really not dreaming.
He really came across a shop called Ayuyuyu... No, it was a shop called "An Yu Yi Yu".
He literally came to this place called "Nightmare World" to stock up with an oversized mountaineering bag.
He also met a group of people who called themselves "trainers" and treated them as rookie trainers just like everyone else.
Most importantly, when Su Zimo stared at the ash-stained but unopened hotel toiletry set on the washbasin, he saw a few lines of remarks on the set of toiletry products—
[Nightmare brand advanced wash six-piece set (no star)]
[Price: 6 yuan]
[Description: Contains two sets of dental appliances, exquisite wooden combs, advanced soap experience packs, advanced shampoo experience packs, and advanced shower gel experience packs, a total of six pieces, produced by Nightmare World, with bathing and skin care effects comparable to international brands, and can be sold in detachable pieces. ]
"..." Su Zimo stared at the remarks like game copy for a while, and finally picked up the set of toiletries and threw them directly into the bag behind him.
He somewhat understands what it means to buy goods.
