30: Organ Pipes Inn & Accommodation

Took the elevator from the party bar's basement back to the second floor of the bar, then walked down the stairs to the first floor.

Fang Yun and his group walked through the crowd on the first floor of the bar, who were still howling, venting, and engaging in chaotic activities, reached the bar's main entrance, and pushed the door open.

Fang Yun was the last one to leave the bar; he closed the bar door shut with a bang behind him.

In an instant, it was as if someone had pressed a pause button; the passionate rock music immediately vanished without a trace.

A gust of cold wind blew past, sweeping away the residual warmth the three of them carried from the bar.

Fang Yun acted as if nothing was wrong, treating the cold wind as if it didn't exist, but V and Toke couldn't help but shiver.

This wasn't because Fang Yun's prosthetic body had cold resistance, but because Fang Yun hadn't loaded any temperature-related plugins or modules yet, and the "Magic-Modified Cube System" hadn't enabled any other temperature-related functions.

So, for the current Fang Yun, although his body would feel cold due to the low temperature, it wouldn't experience involuntary, physiological, instinctual, passive shivering caused by the low temperature.

V and Toke pulled their clothes tighter.

Because of the biting wind, Toke's somewhat hazy brain instantly became clear.

Toke stood on the street outside the bar and looked towards The End of the street.

Sharp-eyed Toke immediately spotted the inn he used to stay at when he came to Weeks Town among a pile of homemade fluorescent signs.

Toke called out to V and Fang Yun, signaling them to follow.

V, who was hugging his shoulders because of the cold, and Fang Yun, who was next to him with an expression that showed no fear of the cold at all, quickly followed Toke's steps together.

V knew without thinking that Toke must be heading for the inn they used to stay at – the Accordion Inn.

However, the Accordion Inn was both cheap and good value, and V hadn't stayed at any other inn after staying there once.

If they didn't stay at the Accordion Inn, V honestly couldn't think of any other inn they could go to for a moment.

To avoid continuing to stand on the street in the cold wind, Fang Yun and his group hurried along, quickly arriving at the Accordion Inn.

Pusing the door open and entering the inn's first-floor lobby, the feeling of warmth immediately enveloped Fang Yun, V, and Toke again, and the tension in their faces instantly relaxed.

Toke rubbed his hands together, walked to the lobby counter, and exchanged a few words with the front desk attendant.

Before long, three small single rooms were booked.

V and Fang Yun also walked to the lobby counter and each paid their share of the accommodation fee.

After paying the fee, Fang Yun's personal operating system received a temporary data connection request from the Accordion Inn.

(PS:

A personal operating System is roughly composed of the following parts (including but not limited to):

Main operating System (brain-computer): Subconscious life support operating System, conscious action control operating System, etc.

Sub-operating System (OS-type prosthetic bodies)

Auxiliary operating System (non-OS-type prosthetic bodies, or external/attached/connected devices, etc.)

Special operating System: Identity account System, communication account System, currency account System, data connection System, etc.

)

(PS:

The various accounts or data connections included in the special operating System have the following types of classifications (including but not limited to):

Classification by authenticity: Real-Fake

Classification by time: Permanent-Long-term-Short-term-Temporary

)

After accepting the request and completing a simple identity authentication, Fang Yun successfully obtained temporary accommodation permission for room 203 on the 2nd floor.

The validity period of the temporary residency permission is from the start of activation, lasting until 12:00 PM tomorrow at the latest.

If one is still in the room after the time limit, they will be required to pay a late stay penalty; if they leave early, the temporary residency permission will be automatically canceled by the inn.

Fang Yun, V, and Toke went up to the second floor together via the elevator in the inn's first-floor lobby.

After saying goodnight to each other, the three of them each went to their room doors, verified their permissions, entered their rooms, and went straight to sleep.

Fang Yun was fine; although he ate a lot and drank a lot of alcohol, he only felt full and had a slight drunk debuff that only lasted for an hour and had long since disappeared.

However, V and Toke were both bloated, dizzy, and very tired.

Therefore, after V and Toke entered their respective rooms, they both flopped onto their beds and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

As for Fang Yun, after lying down on the bed, there was not the slightest sign of him falling asleep.

Fang Yun muttered under his breath:

"As a block person, to sleep, you must lie on a bed and interact with the bed."

"Otherwise, no matter how strong the urge to sleep is, you can't fall asleep."

"From now on, Aibo won't have to worry about monsters waking me up while hunting, because I can't fall asleep at all. (Laughs)"

While muttering, Fang Yun thought to himself:

"After falling asleep, one can choose to remain as a 'consciousness body', like 'soul leaving the body', staying beside the body and waiting to wake up, or choose to let consciousness enter hibernation and wait to wake up."

"The former sleeping method is somewhat similar to the situation in the MC game during multiplayer when you are sleeping but others are not. The latter is similar to how a normal person sleeps in reality."

"As a normal person, I would definitely choose the latter sleeping method. After all, although both sleeping methods can eliminate feelings of fatigue, dizziness, drowsiness, etc., the latter method allows me to better maintain 'humanity'."

"Today's experience was fulfilling, I hope tomorrow will be even more so. (Laughs)"

His thoughts ended here, and Fang Yun softly said goodnight to himself, then he performed an interaction with the bed using his mind.

In just an instant, Fang Yun fell into a deep sleep.

(PS: The bed Fang Yun synthesized not only has the characteristic of exploding when placed in the Nether, but also has the characteristic of exploding when used in The End, and also has effects such as instant sleep, dreamless sleep, instant wake-up, instant getting up, etc.

Real beds do not have the characteristics of synthesized beds, do not have effects such as dreamless sleep, instant wake-up, instant getting up, etc., and only have the effect of instant sleep.)

...

The night was deep like water; Weeks Town, except for a few places like the bars, became incredibly silent.

In this silent dark night, Toke, who was sleeping soundly on the bed in 201, dreamed of "Red Rose" (a multi-person "group" that "played" with Toke at the party bar).

Although he only paid for one hour of service, Toke successfully gained more than an hour of experience (heavy fog).

V, who was sleeping in 202, dreamed of some complex and varied things.

Gunfight scenes with bullets flying everywhere, battle skill training scenes in a jumbled order, Sister, Toke, the Clan Leader of the Buckle Family, members of the Buckle Family...

It seems that although V's mood was a bit chaotic today, V, like the protagonist in the 2077 game, cherishes family affection and friendship, and yearns for strength.

Fang Yun, who fell asleep instantly, didn't dream of anything else, but instead dreamed of the days last year when he dug and built the Mantle Tower underground day and night.

Instantly, Fang Yun's brows furrowed involuntarily.

Fortunately, soon, Fang Yun's dream collapsed.

After that, Fang Yun had a dreamless night.
