Anchor, your box lunch is here

After Chaoan turned off the live broadcast equipment, a door appeared in front of him. It was an iron door painted with green paint, and it was the most common classroom door in the school.He opened the door towards Allah and walked in, his figure disappeared into the white mist.

When the door was opened again, Chao An had already appeared in a study room with a simple layout. The study room was very large and had two doors. One was the door that Chao An had just returned from. It had disappeared now, and the other door led to the living room. .

There is a desk next to the window in the study, and there is an open notebook on the desk. Apart from that, there are only two large bookcases that occupy the entire wall in the study, and there are densely packed books on them.

Chao An, who had just finished the live broadcast, urgently needed a rest. He walked out of the study and walked towards the bedroom. After taking a comfortable bath, Chao An changed into his pajamas and got into the quilt, and soon fell asleep.

This sleep lasted until noon the next day. When Chao An opened his eyes, the bedroom was already covered with sunlight, but it was not golden yellow, but light yellow with a bit of gray. Chao An came to Luosheng City. It's been a while, and I'm used to this "fading" sunlight.

Chaoan stretched himself and sat up from the bed. There are about three days of rest before the next live broadcast. How will he spend these three days?

shop?

reading?

calligraphy?

Chao An walked to the bathroom while thinking. After washing, Chao An came to the living room. On the sofa in the living room was the book he flipped through a few days ago. Chao An poured himself a glass of white water, picked up the book and turned two pages, feeling The boredom was put down again.

Looking at the gray sunshine outside the window, Zhao An remembered the faces of walking corpses that he saw before going out, and gave up the idea of ​​going out for a stroll. It seems that he will stay at home again for the next three days and be a salted fish.

Although Luosheng City where Chaoan is located is called a "city", it is actually a special small space. This small space is called the gap world by other worlds, and it is located between the gap between two big worlds.

Luosheng City is located between the underworld and the living world. As the name suggests, the underworld is the place where ghosts live, while the living world is a group of realms, including thousands of small worlds. After the creatures in these small worlds die, their souls will be led to the underworld. Become a ghost and continue to exist.

There is a theory of reincarnation in the human world. It is said that people can be reincarnated after death. In fact, the opportunity for ghosts to reincarnate is very rare. Most ghosts can only stay in the underworld, repeating the boring life day after day until they lose all memory. Become a wandering spirit.

In order to improve the quality of life of ghosts, the high-level executives of the underworld select some special individuals from the newborn ghosts as bridges connecting the two worlds, commonly known as "cultural exchange ambassadors", "masters of spiritual civilization construction", "leaders of the entertainment industry" and so on. .

For example, Chao’an’s job is as an anchor, and his job is to live broadcast the process of “friendship” between humans and ghosts. Most of the people watching his live broadcast are ghosts, and there is only a very small possibility that there will be human beings who are dying, so don’t look at the harmony in the comment area, in fact There is no telling whether there is a living or dead person behind the screen.

Death for human beings is a new life for ghosts, so no matter how many people die, the audience will not find it strange. If it is strange, they can only wonder that the newborn ghosts are so strong, especially Chaoan, who is the anchor, is simply terrible. true portrayal.

The "negative emotions" absorbed in the live broadcast can help the ghosts evolve. "Negative emotions" include seven types: anger, sadness, fear, jealousy, resentment, pain, and despair. Chao'an was lucky in the last world and collected all seven attributes , and gained 68 mood points. After lv10, each level up requires 100 points of negative emotions, so Chaoan has to live broadcast again to level up.

As for the points rewards given by the audience, in addition to being able to exchange items in the mall, they can also be used as coins when living in Luosheng City.The purchasing power of points is very high, one point is equivalent to the purchasing power of rb1, and the minimum reward can only be one point, that is to say, the starting price of a single tip is [-] yuan, which is really unaffordable for ordinary ghosts, so the curly hair is really She is a local tyrant, and more than half of Chaoan's points are rewarded by her.

In addition to the profession of being an anchor, there are various professions living in Luosheng City, involving the entertainment circle, comic circle, writer circle, etc. Of course, these existences are all ghosts without exception. Those who have just been selected have different reasons for being selected, and the treatment is also different.Chao'an's treatment is probably at the senior level, so his live broadcast work is relatively easy, unlike some escape professions, who live in dire straits every day, and lose their souls at every turn.

Maybe it's because they existed for too long or because of too much pressure, the ghosts of Luosheng City give people a lifeless feeling. After Chao'an has been in contact with them a few times, he is reluctant to touch them. After the live broadcast, he mostly stays at home. Classes are also purchased in a centralized manner for a long time.

The daily necessities here do not refer to food such as meat, vegetables and fruits, but books, the four treasures of the study and other leisure time. Ghosts do not need to eat food to survive, as long as they absorb negative emotions, they can maintain the stability of the soul body for a long time Not to mention the time and Chao An's cooking skills, so this step was omitted.

Chaoan lay on the sofa in a daze for a while, when he suddenly heard the doorbell ring, he was taken aback for a moment, it was the first time he heard the doorbell ring after living here for so long.

Chao An got up and opened the door, and there was a tall man standing outside the door, wearing a light brown round neck sweater with slacks underneath, and a home attire, he looked about 30 years old, showing a mature man all over his body The stable temperament is the one that little girls like very much.

Chao An looked at the strange man in front of him suspiciously, and asked "Are you?"

"Hello, my name is Si Mu, and I'm a new resident who lives next door to you."

"Si Mu?" This name is very familiar to Chaoan, because he only heard it during the live broadcast not long ago, but Si Mu is from a small world, and the possibility of appearing in Luosheng City is very small, and the two of them have different appearances. The same, it should be just a coincidence of the same name and surname.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with my name?"

"It's nothing. Does Mr. Si need any help from me?"

"No, I made some dishes. I thought you might not have eaten, so I brought them here for you to try."

Only then did Chao An notice that Si Mu was holding a few insulated boxes in his hands, and he was even more surprised.

"can you cook?"

"Know some home-cooked food, if you don't mind..."

"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it."

Chao'an hasn't smelled meat for three months. Although ghosts don't need to eat to survive, Chao'an is still a ghost who likes to enjoy delicious food. However, most of the ghosts he has seen are not in the mood to cook and think it is a waste of time. , Chao An has not eaten food for a long time.

Chaoan took the insulated box from Si Mu, and when it fell into his hand, he found that the weight was wrong. This amount was more than enough for two people, so he asked casually, "Have you eaten yet?"

"not yet."

"Let's go together then."

"it is good."

Si Mu's promise was so straightforward that Chao An wondered if he had planned it long ago, but this idea was rejected by Chao An only for a moment. He and Si Mu had just met for the first time, and they planned him to do it. What.

Chao An turned sideways to let Si Mu in, and lowered his head only to realize that he was still wearing pajamas. No wonder Si Mu's eyes were always on him before, so Chao An told Sim Mu to wait a moment, Go back to your room and change your clothes.

When Chao An came out of the bedroom, what he saw was Si Mu standing by the dining table, setting the bowls and chopsticks, and the opened heat preservation box was placed in the center of the table, and the hot air rose from the food, causing Chao An to feel a sense of urgency. There was a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen such a scene a long time ago, but he couldn't remember it.

"What's wrong?" Si Mu turned his head and found Chao An standing there blankly.

"It's nothing, I wanted to come out to get the bowls and chopsticks, but I didn't expect you to find them yourself, so let's eat." Chao An smiled at Si Mu. He had a harmless face. very warm.

Si Mu was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and put the soup in his hand in front of Chao An.

"Try it and see if you like it."

"If I like you, can you do it for me every day?"

"It's not impossible."

"what?"

"I mean if you pay your wages."

Chaoan laughed again, showing two cute little canine teeth. He is in a good mood today. The ghosts in Luosheng City are all dead. It is rare to have such an interesting neighbor. Life in the future will not be so boring.

Chao An took a sip of the soup and gave Simu a thumbs up. The taste of this soup was even better than that made by the chef hired by Chao An's family before his death. It seems that what Simu said earlier was just modesty. is top notch.

"What does Mr. Si do?"

"play a small role."

"Mr. Si's appearance is just a trick? Are the production crew's requirements so high now?"

Si Mu glanced at Chao An, and said vaguely, "It depends on what the lead actor wants."

"Isn't the filming done according to the director's request? Why do you want to see what the lead actor wants? Does the lead actor have a grudge against you?"

"No, maybe the lead actor thinks I'm old. Isn't fresh meat popular now?"

"Who said that? I think Mr. Si has the charm of a mature man."

Hearing what Chao An said, Si Mu's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked quickly, "You really don't think I'm old?"

"Of course, but my opinion doesn't matter."

"No, your opinion is the most important."

"what?"

"Eat vegetables."

Si Mu picked up a piece of shrimp for Chao An, and when Chao An saw the food, he immediately put the question of "Why does the neighbor talk so strangely" behind him.

After the meal, Chao An took the initiative to do the washing up. When he came out of the kitchen, he found Simu standing at the door of the kitchen holding popcorn, pomegranate juice, yellow peach pudding and washed strawberries, asking calmly. He "sees a movie? The new horror movie."

"Look." Chao'an had a premonition that his vacation schedule would be full this time.

Chao An's house is equipped with a home theater, and Simu has the same house type as him, so Si Mu knows that he can watch movies here, so he went back to get food just now, in order not to give Chao An the opportunity to kick him out.

"I made the pudding myself, I don't know if you like it or not."

"I like it. I didn't expect you to prepare all the things I like to eat." Chao'an's favorite fruit is strawberry, and he likes to eat yellow peach-flavored pudding. He only drinks fruit juice and plain water. Among the juices, he likes pomegranate juice the most.

The next two days were exactly as Chaoan expected, his time was clearly arranged by Si Mu, but every activity was in line with his wishes, so he couldn't refuse.

After three days, it was time for the Chaoan live broadcast, and a golden carved wooden door appeared on the wall of the study room. From the material to the craftsmanship, it conformed to the aesthetics of Western aristocrats. It seemed that this live broadcast was in the Western world.

New world, start!

The author has something to say for impatient readers to add some settings that will be explained later

1. A ghost is another form of consciousness. A ghost is not equal to a ghost. Only when there is resentment at the time of death can a ghost become a ghost, and a ghost is the kind with a particularly strong resentment.

2. Ordinary ghosts are also afraid of ghosts. They look at irrational ghosts just like humans look at lunatics, anti-social personality, and murderers. For powerful and rational ghosts, they will have the psychology of worshiping the strong, which is also Chaoan Part of the charm.

3. Chao’an’s way of entering the world is to replace one of the natives. He will have the memory of the replaced native, but he will not know all the plots. The process of his live broadcast is also the process of digging the plots.

4. Other indigenous people will not know the crisis they are facing, and they will not know the existence of the live broadcast. What they experience is what would have happened, not caused by Chaoan.

5. Chaoan remembers Si Mu during the live broadcast, but he does not recognize Si Mu, and Si Mu will forget Chaoan after entering the live broadcast world, and will only remember it again when he returns to the interstitial world. This is what he paid for entering Luosheng City. the price.
