Chapter 1 My Dream Is Actually Real(1/2)
In the distant horizon, the morning sun rises lazily, barely reaching half of my forehead.
The deep red morning glow spread across the sky.
Chen Feng curled up his legs and sat alone in front of the window, staring at the morning glow, turning into stone and turning into a statue.
At this time, his expression was very subtle, with three parts melancholy, three parts confusion, two parts shock, and two parts regret.
He looked back at his room again.
Clean and tidy.
A shirt that had been washed until it turned white was hung on the wire. There were three bowls of different sizes and a pair of chopsticks on the dining table.
Oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar.
Hanging in the crooked cloth wardrobe are three or two low-quality suits, T-shirts and autumn and winter casual wear.
There is an old laptop on the small table.
This is a rental house for ordinary urban office workers, poor, dull and boring.
Chen Feng rubbed his forehead, trying hard to wake up and cheer up.
Suddenly falling from heaven to earth made it difficult for him to adapt.
It took him about ten minutes to accept the reality that he had not traveled through time, but had just had a dream.
Now I wake up from the dream.
This is my apartment, my temporary "home" where I can settle down in this city.
I don’t know when last night, Chen Feng had a dream.
This dream was so real that he couldn't tell the difference between reality and dream.
So much so that it took him several days in the dream before he reluctantly accepted the situation he had "traveled through".
And he traveled to the future world a thousand years after the real world, and became a world army reserve private named Chen Feng.
Yes, the names are exactly the same, and even the looks are 70% or 80% similar.
But Chen Feng failed to inherit the memory of the original owner of this body, so when he first passed through it, he was in a state of confusion and couldn't figure out the situation.
During these chaotic days, reserve soldier Chen Feng performed extremely poorly and was unable to do anything. He did not even have basic common sense. Therefore, he was expelled from the military and sent back to his place of origin to become a glorious low-income household.
The so-called subsistence allowance households are people who are deemed to be incapable of working and without any possibility of creating value.
Those living on subsistence allowances cannot enjoy higher education and are not qualified to engage in any work. They can only survive under the minimum guarantee of the welfare system.
They say it's a rough life, but in fact the treatment is good, they eat well, sleep well, and can enjoy a large flat floor of 200 square meters all to themselves.
Chen Feng couldn't believe it.
He lived in an era when housing prices were so high that it was extremely difficult for recent college graduates to get a foothold in a big city unless they came from a well-off family.
But in this era, you don’t have to do anything. The minimum social security benefits give you a big house of 200 square meters, and you can live there as long as you want.
This is clearly paradise!
The artificial intelligence assistant issued by the government takes good care of him, and he can open his mouth and stretch out his hands when he comes to eat.
He just plays!
If you want to watch a movie, you can get enough of the massive holographic three-dimensional film sources!
If you want to listen to music, near-field speakers will give you an immersive experience like a concert hall, and there is an unlimited music library that spans thousands of years.
If you want to play games, brainwave resonance synergy immerses you in the game, with various themes, from Star Wars to history to the unspeakable, whatever you want is available.
Thousands of years later, scientific and technological levels have made great progress, and social productivity has become greatly surplus. It is no problem at all to feed nearly one-third of the total population living on subsistence allowances.
In Chen Feng's view, the life, medical care and other services enjoyed by the subsistence allowance households are completely unworthy of the word subsistence allowance.
Those were days like an emperor!
I want to be such a subsistence emperor for the rest of my life.
Chen Feng couldn't help but miss Shu.
Anyway, when he was in high school in his previous life, he severed ties with his adoptive parents who wanted to force him to drop out of school and work. He had no relatives and no memories.
In real life, he is just a miserable urban office worker who is being exploited crazily.
Comparing the past and present lives, there is absolutely no comparison.
If there were no accidents, he originally thought that he would live happily in the life of a subsistence household.
Maybe we can find a beautiful girl from one of the low-income families to form a family and create a new small low-income family.
But a year passed in the blink of an eye, and as he slowly adapted to this era while constantly having fun...
Suddenly, that day, the sky was shrouded in darkness.
Everyone in the world looked up at the sky, and there was something huge and strange there.
It floats quietly high in the sky, blocking out the sky and the sun.
Like metal, but floating completely against the laws of physics.
Immediately afterwards, there was a faint flicker of light in the center of the strange thing, and then it became brighter and brighter until it filled the entire world.
The moment Chen Feng saw this beam of light, a strong tingling sensation burst out in the depths of his mind, instantly spreading throughout his body and engulfing him like a wave.
Severe pain hit him, and he curled up on the ground holding his head.
The pain continued to deepen, as if the soul was about to leave the body, and the heart seemed to be pinched in the palm of someone's hand and slowly crushed.
He opened his mouth and wanted to scream, but all he could hear in his throat was whooshing.
He could feel countless fine drops of blood seeping out of the skin all over his body.
The other people two or three meters away from him were having exactly the same thing happening to him.
Chen Feng knew that he was going to die.
Without any warning and very strangely, he and everyone in the world were about to die.
When he really died and opened his eyes again, he was already back in his bed.
It took Chen Feng almost half an hour to recover from the severe pain, and he was deeply grateful for it.
Oh, that was a dream.
Thank God, it turned out to be a dream and not a real time travel.
Chen Feng stood up from the stool and subconsciously snapped his fingers.
"Xiaowei, get me some clothes..."
Xiaowei is the name he gave his artificial intelligence assistant in his dream.
Unfortunately, after waiting for a long time, nothing happened.
He shook his head with a wry smile and said to himself, "Forget it, just dream, and wake up when you wake up. No matter how good the dream is, it's not as good as living."
Look at the clock on the wall, October 27, 2019, 7:20 am.
"I really just slept all night!"
Chen Feng shrugged and accepted his fate. He took the time to wash up and go to work.
He washed his face, put on an old suit, and dressed up to look presentable, completing the last step of withdrawing from the dream and returning to reality.
As he pushed the door open, a white shadow came to his face, like a ghost.
He almost bumped into a slim woman.
The woman just opened the apartment door and came in.
The corridor of the apartment was very narrow, and she had nowhere to hide. She could only scream and lean back, barely holding on to the wall with her hands to avoid falling to the ground.
"what are you doing!"
She raised her head and glared angrily.
The sound is very crisp and pleasant, making it unforgettable.
Chen Feng looked directly at the woman in front of him, feeling slightly confused.
She is about 1.65 meters tall, wearing a slim-fitting white coat, with long hair disheveled, and her oval face looks slightly gray against the dark circles under her eyes.
Obviously, she hadn't slept all night, so she must have just returned to the apartment after staying out all night.
Her poor mental state did not affect her appearance, but gave her a lazy beauty that made people's eyes brighter.
Being good-looking means you can do whatever you want, even if you are unkempt, you will still look good.
Seeing Chen Feng staring straight at her and refusing to turn away, the woman quickly raised her brows and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Chen Feng quickly looked away and asked hesitantly, "No, don't get me wrong. I didn't mean that. You...you are?"
The woman curled her lips and frowned, rolling her eyes, "Stop pretending, aren't you the housekeeper of the apartment? Don't you know the name of the new tenant? Such a poor way of picking up a conversation fell out of fashion ten years ago. I don't want to pay attention to you."
After saying that, she turned sideways, passed through the narrow corridor, turned a corner, and went upstairs.
To be continued...
