Chapter 9: The Opening of the Public Garbage Space.
The two of them had a simple breakfast, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Though they came from different worlds, there were countless topics for them to discuss.
Even in this new era, technology continued to advance rapidly.
After all, the convenience and efficiency brought by technology are unmatched by anything else.
Especially in the world of the internet, where a vast amount of information is being shared.
Under Chen Fan’s guidance, Medusa quickly got the hang of using the smartphone.
Before long, she became enamored with it, lazily lounging on the sofa, eagerly absorbing the knowledge and various news from this world.
She couldn’t wait to understand more about this world.
“So… was I picked up from a garbage heap by you?”
Having grasped the wonders of this world, Medusa naturally deduced where Chen Fan had found her.
She looked at him with a rather strange expression.
“Well… that’s not entirely wrong,” Chen Fan smiled and explained.
“But at the time, there was only you. There was no ‘garbage heap’.”
“Didn’t you see the strange fire?”
“Aside from you, there was nothing.”
Chen Fan shook his head.
“However, strange fire no longer has any effect on me.”
“It could be a great treasure for you, though.”
“Even if you sold it, you could exchange it for a lot of resources.”
Medusa thought it was a pity, already starting to consider what was best for Chen Fan.
“Finding you was already a great stroke of luck.”
“I wouldn’t dare ask for anything more.”
Chen Fan also felt a bit of regret.
Otherwise, he could have tried using a special aperture to absorb and refine the strange fire, specializing in refining all kinds of rare flames.
In the future, he could control fire.
But he found that his words made Medusa’s face flush slightly.
For a moment, they fell into silence.
Chen Fan then opened his computer to check the news or headlines.
“Battle! Giant Garbage Dump Opens, East and West forces encounter each other, massive losses for all countries…”
As soon as he logged onto the specialized website, Chen Fan was immediately drawn to the headline.
Unable to resist, he clicked into the article, instantly captivated by the content.
Yesterday, a massive garbage dump appeared. Strong forces from all countries had sensed it and rushed to enter.
This garbage came from an abandoned mining pit in an advanced world.
At first, under negotiations, the various countries’ forces had divided the area into zones.
It should have been a peaceful excavation, each party searching for treasures.
However, someone unearthed a precious item, causing a loss of composure and triggering a fierce battle between the forces.
All parties suffered heavy losses.
Fortunately, the result was good.
The precious item fell into the hands of the Qin Xia Empire.
“I wonder what kind of treasure it was.”
“To cause such a fierce battle…”
“This mining site’s appearance probably made Blue Star feel a sense of expansion again…”
He thought to himself.
Every time the public garbage dump appeared, mysterious forces would purify it, and Blue Star would expand.
Over the span of a century, the size of Blue Star has increased at least five times compared to a hundred years ago.
Now, Blue Star had many uninhabited zones.
In short, a mysterious force was changing Blue Star and this world.
The garbage from all the heavens was being refined into energy and integrated into Blue Star, seemingly nurturing it.
“Sky Domain Auction House will hold an auction in Nan City in five days…”
Another piece of information caught his attention.
Chen Fan couldn’t help but feel a stir of excitement.
However, his excitement quickly cooled.
Although the auction would have plenty of good items, he didn’t have much money.
A few years ago, his parents had perished in the public garbage dump.
The assets they left behind were not many.
Suddenly, the mark on Chen Fan’s forehead sensed a violent tremor.
Chen Fan was slightly surprised.
“No, this is the opening of the public garbage dump!”
After receiving the information, Chen Fan was slightly astonished.
“Stay here. I need to go handle something.”
Chen Fan turned to Medusa and gave her instructions, then patted the Phoenix Bone Blade at his waist.
This time, it wasn’t just simple treasure hunting; it was likely to involve a battle.
After a brief moment of thought, Medusa had guessed what Chen Fan was going to do, so she reminded him.
“If it gets too dangerous, I’ll just give up.”
Chen Fan smiled, knowing how to weigh risks and benefits.
With the system, he didn’t need to take excessive risks and could always pick and choose.
After all, his own garbage dump was more than enough to make him grow stronger slowly.
Connecting with the mark, Chen Fan’s figure instantly vanished.
When he reappeared, he found himself in an unfamiliar place.
It was vast, at least a hundred miles wide, dim, and slightly damp.
It seemed to be a public garbage space.
At this moment, there was still dust and debris floating in the air.
Chen Fan focused on his surroundings.
He realized that, aside from him, there were many others.
Some had arrived before him, and many others were still coming.
However, when he noticed that almost everyone was of the same age, Chen Fan felt relieved.
Since they were all of the same age, he was sure he had a place here.
