101: Chapter 101 Rest, Lie Down
The house was finally completed. Although he had seen it countless times during construction, the moment he stepped inside, Mo Yufei still felt a sense of novelty. After all, having lived in his original world for over 20 years, the interior decoration style was different from that world.
There were no traditional devices like air vents, heaters, or fans indoors, yet a layer of invisible, gentle airflow constantly lingered.
"Is this the effect of scientific equipment or a rune array?" Mo Yufei shook his head and sighed, "Still can't figure it out!"
The air was neither dry nor damp; the humidity was kept constant at the most mild and comfortable range. Every breath felt fresh and clear, making even his lungs feel incredibly relaxed.
Mo Yufei walked to the living room and naturally lay down on the sofa in the center.
The entire sofa instantly adapted and deformed. Without any mechanical noise, it silently conformed to every curve of his shoulders and back. There were no hard spots, no empty gaps; it perfectly supported every pressure point of his body.
He subconsciously relaxed his muscles, sinking into a state of extreme relaxation.
There was no need to manually adjust any settings; the sofa seemed to be able to read his body's state, automatically soothing muscle tension and making his whole body feel light and stretched.
"So comfortable!" Mo Yufei closed his eyes, enjoying the massage from the sofa.
Xiao Hei and the others also gathered around.
Da Bai lay its massive body onto another sofa, which automatically extended and expanded, steadily supporting its heavy frame without the slightest sense of collapse or strain.
Xiao Bai curled into a ball and rolled to the corner of the sofa. Its fluffy little body was firmly supported by the soft material, and it flicked its tail contentedly.
Xiao Hei lay quietly on the floor in front of the sofa. The micro-crystal floor beneath it automatically emitted a layer of constant warmth, dispelling the slight chill.
Benboba also lay on the sofa, resting its head on its newly grown sharp claws, crossing its legs, and imitating Mo Yufei's posture. It said comfortably, "This chair is amazing, ten thousand times more comfortable than a bird's nest! What decent bird sleeps in a nest anyway! From now on, this is my bed! Who approves, who opposes!"
It then looked at Xiao Hei and the others and immediately added, "Good, since you didn't voice any opposition, that means you agree."
Although Xiao Hei and the others didn't speak, nor could they speak, Mo Yufei could hear their telepathic communication through their Soul Contract; they were already making a huge racket.
Mo Yufei didn't respond. He looked up and surveyed the entire living room. The wall facing the living room didn't have a TV; it just looked like a clean, flat, plain-colored mural.
However, the moment his gaze landed on it, the mural responded to his thoughts, silently lighting up with a layer of ultra-thin, ultra-clear light and shadow. It had no borders, no pixelation, no noise, and blended the virtual with the real—far exceeding any existing screen display technology.
This was a TV he had purchased from a shopping platform in Wang Chen's world.
At the time, he wanted to see future technology, so he typed "TV" into the shopping platform. This was what came up, and out of curiosity, he bought it.
Now it had been brought into the secret realm, and when the house was being built, it was installed directly by the two maintenance robots, A-Piao and A-Fu.
The floor of the living room was made of micro-crystal tiles that Walle had synthesized by breaking down stones from the secret realm. The entire floor was spotless, with no water stains, remaining clean and clear at all times.
Tiny dust particles in the air and the fine fur shed by Xiao Hei and the others were quietly purified by the cleaning force field without anyone noticing.
The house's environmental system constantly kept the air fresh. All household items had fixed positions; after he used them and set them aside, an android or cleaning robot would immediately put them back.
Mo Yufei looked at the cleaning robot he had unpacked from the delivery—it could also be called a smart trash can. Its AI program was relatively low-level; it only handled simple tasks, such as clearing trash or returning small items to their places.
Mo Yufei picked up a pack of tissues from the coffee table and threw it away. Soon, the cleaning robot immediately picked the pack of tissues back up. After repeating this a few times, it was just like teasing a dog.
Xiao Hei, who was bored nearby, watched and looked eager to join in.
Seeing this, Mo Yufei quickly stopped. He ceased his action of teasing the trash can, otherwise, Xiao Hei would have joined in too.
The only thing in the house that Mo Yufei found familiar was the refrigerator in the kitchen. Mo Yufei walked to the kitchen and lightly touched the fridge. The fridge door opened, and various items inside were labeled with virtual screens.
Mo Yufei took out an iced drink labeled with a temperature of 2°C and observed the entire kitchen while drinking.
In the kitchen area, there were no familiar kitchenware or appliances—no stove, no range hood. The entire kitchen area was an integrated, minimalist smart console. The surface was clean enough to reflect light, with no patterns, no seams, and no greasy residue.
The two food synthesizers he had purchased were both installed in the kitchen. He could generate whatever he wanted to eat directly. If he really wanted to cook, he could also use the console, and it would deploy various cooking utensils.
Just standing there, Mo Yufei could intuitively feel the advanced nature and convenience of this otherworldly kitchen system, which completely bypassed the logic of modern home living.
The bedroom layout was minimalist and spacious, without any heavy furniture piled up. The floating bed frame remained steady in mid-air, possessing its own faint energy field that stabilized sleep and calmed the mind.
The bathroom area next to the bedroom was the place Mo Yufei was most satisfied with. He had used this style of bathroom in his home in the other world; A-Rou had even helped him wash there, otherwise, he wouldn't have known how to use it.
There were no traditional devices like showerheads, faucets, or bathroom heaters here. In the entire enclosed, clean space, the four walls were smooth and orderly, relying on invisible energy fluids to regulate the water system and temperature.
There was no need to fill or store water, and no need to wait for it to heat up. The moment he stepped into the space, constant-temperature, gentle, pure water energy would automatically surround his body, gently cleansing his body, unclogging pores, and washing away fatigue.
After washing, his whole body would dry instantly. There was no dampness, no standing water, and no fog. The bathroom was always dry and clean, never breeding any moisture or mold, making it extremely worry-free and comfortable.
Throughout the entire residence, there were no complicated buttons, remote controls, or switch panels; whatever he needed, it was just a matter of saying a word.
There were also no noisy machine operation sounds; appliances were all folded and retracted, some hidden within the walls and floors.
Mo Yufei had once asked the android, and she said that according to records in the database, human living spaces were once tight, and the per capita living area was small, so most smart devices had the feature of being foldable and easy to carry.
Mo Yufei lay back down on the sofa, his limbs completely relaxed, letting the constant-temperature gentle breeze of the whole house envelop him.
Fatigue was quietly smoothed away, his thoughts slowly settled, the surrounding spiritual energy was long and steady, and the environment was warm and healing.
Da Bai lay sleeping soundly, Xiao Bai rolled lazily on the sofa, Xue Rong closed her eyes to rest, and Xiao Hei kept watch quietly. Seeing that everyone was resting, Benboba finally quieted down too.
In the depths of Mo Yufei's heart, only a clear sense of peace remained.
This environment now, this state—wasn't this exactly what he had always wanted! How great it would be to just keep lying flat like this!
