Wanjie: Starting from the Back Room

The next morning.

Yang Tao, who had spent a night digging for walls and shelves in level 1, pushed open the wooden door and returned to the [Main World].

"This feeling of watching the energy value rise is really addictive, but the efficiency of digging walls is really too low..."

He got just under 10,000 energy points in six hours.

However, he got a lot of shelves and pipes. He walked to the furnace and stuffed all the iron products into the furnace.

"Why can't the wrench be burned? This is also iron, okay?"

Yang Tao was very helpless about this. Some smaller or poor quality things could not be burned or exchanged for energy value at all, which put an end to his plan to buy nails and burn iron pellets.

He sorted out these temporarily useless miscellaneous items and threw them into the "trash can", which was full of "miscellaneous items" that were worthless to him.

Looking at Eric who was still sleeping, Yang Tao did not wake him up, but took out two apples and placed them on the dining table built with wooden boards next to him.

There was also some [Gray Almond Water] on the table.

‘This time I’ll go to Conan’s world, buy a pot for cooking, and drink almond water every day.’

The main thing is that he wants to eat.

Not feeling hungry doesn’t mean he’s not greedy.

Pushing open the wooden door to the world of Conan, Yang Tao stepped in.

He felt something was wrong as soon as he came in, but he couldn’t tell for a moment. He went down the stairs to the second floor of the office and reached out to knock on the door.

Dong Dong…

“I’m here, wait a minute!”

Xiao Lan’s voice came from the room, followed by a sound of footsteps, and soon the door opened to reveal a young and beautiful figure inside.

“Hello, Xiao Lan, is Conan at home?”

Xiao Lan was a little surprised when she saw Yang Tao, but soon she smiled and said: “Mr. Yang Tao, Conan is at home, he is eating, please come in and sit for a while.”

Yang Tao nodded gently and walked into the room. Last night, Conan chatted with Eric for a long time in his space, flipped through the notebook that recorded various information, and left reluctantly until two o’clock in the morning.

Walk into the living room.

Sitting on the sofa, Xiaolan walked over to pour him a glass of water, and Yang Tao hurriedly said: "Xiaolan, you don't have to be so polite. I'm very sorry that I came so early to delay your meal."

Xiaolan smiled and said: "Mr. Yang Tao, you are Conan's friend, don't be so polite, then I will go to eat first, you wait for a while."

"Well, you go to eat first."

Xiaolan turned and left. As soon as she entered the restaurant, Conan ran out. After seeing Yang Tao, he said with a helpless expression: "Why did you come so early?"

"I came here after I finished my work. I didn't think so much. I'm so sorry."

Xiaolan looked at Conan who ran out and asked hurriedly: "Conan, are you full?"

"Well, Xiaolan sister, I'm full. You go to eat first. Brother Yang Tao and I are chatting about things."

I don't know if it is the influence of the world. In Xiaolan's concept, it seems normal for Conan, a child of only 7 or 8 years old, to have a friend in his twenties.

"Then I'll go eat first."

After saying that, Xiaolan left.

Kogoro Maori's complaints were heard in the restaurant: "Conan, this brat, he ran away after eating a few bites. I will teach him a lesson next time if he does that again."

"Dad, Conan's friends are coming. He must want to greet them. Just let him eat more at noon."

"Hmph, this brat..."

Sitting in the living room, Yang Tao heard the conversation between the father and daughter clearly. He smiled and looked at Conan and whispered: "Kogoro Maori still cares about you. Do you think he will kill you if he knows your true identity?"

Conan heard Yang Tao say that Kogoro Maori would kill him and asked in confusion: "Why would Uncle Maori kill me if he knew my identity?"

"Put yourself in her shoes. If you have a daughter in the future and she is deceived by her boyfriend before she is an adult, and they take a bath, sleep together, and even play with each other's feelings, what will you do?"

Conan's body trembled slightly. Not to mention Kogoro, even he had to consider how to make such a person disappear quietly from the world.

But he quickly reacted and lowered his voice to argue: "I'm just a child now... and when did I play with Xiaolan's feelings?"

"Oh? Is hiding your identity considered cheating? You let Xiaolan wait at home for Shinichi who may not show up at any time, isn't this considered playing with her?"

Conan said he had nothing to say and could only change the subject: "By the way, aren't you going to buy pumpkins? Let's go quickly."

Yang Tao smiled and said nothing more, stood up and walked towards the door, Conan ran into the kitchen and greeted the two and followedYang Tao left together.

There were not many pedestrians on the way to the vegetable store, and I don’t know if it was because this place was not a real residential area.

“By the way, Conan, don’t you have to go to school today?”

“No, we are on summer vacation, and we are going to the beach with Uncle Maori and Sister Xiaolan today.”

Yang Tao stopped and turned to look at Conan.

Conan looked at Yang Tao who stopped and asked in confusion: “What’s wrong?”

“Your Neon summer vacation does not comply with international law?”

“What do you mean?”

Yang Tao finally knew why he felt something was wrong, it was the time.

The night when Kaito Kid stole the dark star was clearly written as April Fool’s Day, but it’s only two days away, and you’re on summer vacation?

"What day is it today?"

Conan was stunned for a moment and said: "July 22nd, what's wrong?"

"What day was it when Kaito Kid stole the Dark Star?"

"April 1st!"

Looking at Conan who didn't notice anything unusual, Yang Tao finally understood the horror of this world.

The timeline of this world is messy and there is no logic at all.

"How many days have we known each other?"

Conan was stunned for a moment and said: "Three days... No, how... time! How is it possible!!"

Conan stood there like a fool and kept muttering that it was impossible.

Seeing this, Yang Tao stretched out his hand and pulled him up, then came to an empty alley, opened the wooden door and took him back to the [Main World].

"Hey, wake up."

Conan's current state is like an NPC about to awaken in the game, and his memory and reality are constantly conflicting.

It was difficult for him to accept it for a while.

Reason told him that April 1 should be April 4 three days later, but he subconsciously thought that July 22 was the real day.

"Give... give me almond water!"

Conan said hoarsely with a splitting headache.

Yang Tao took out a bottle of [Gray Almond Water] and handed it to Conan without any nonsense. Conan took it and drank it down.

After ten minutes, he regained some reason and looked up at Yang Tao and asked: "Why? You must know why, right!"

Although it was a question, Conan's tone was very firm.

Yang Tao did not hide it and nodded directly. Looking at Conan with a look of desire, he said solemnly: "Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Do you want to really... live?"

"I want to!!"

"Welcome to the real world!"
