Rebirth Of MC

Chapter 11: Tidying his space

It's already 9pm now. After leaving the rented house, Huo Zaiyuan didn't immediately try finding another place to settle. Rather, he goes around the night streets stores, visiting each once before buying a black baseball cap. Only then does he search for a temporary lodging.

Due to that ridiculous arrest warrant the military sent out, his photograph is already circulating through the internet. While it may be a relatively old photo, his appearance has not undergone that much of a change since he turned twelve. He lost his baby fats, of course, and his facial points matured, but that was about it. One can easily tell he is the one in the photo with a long look at his face. It would be highly irritating if someone manages to recognise him now. At least with a cap obscuring his face, he would not be recognised so fast.

After that, Huo Zaiyuan repeatedly scouts the area before finding the cheapest family hotel to stay the night. A slightly better hotel requires one to spend at minimum a hundred dollars a night, but the one he found was available for only twenty dollars a night. At such a cheap price, it is expected that the condition of the room is really shabby. Thank the heavens he never thought about sleeping on the bed provided in the first place. Once the door closed behind him, he immediately enters his inter-dimensional space.

Due to seeing the military's warrant and hastily escaping the rented house, he simply dumped everything into the space without arranging them. Now that he enters the space and take a look around, his face falls.

The bed, cabinet, table, chairs and even the countless clothes and shoes he spent so long sorting through yesterday are now messily mixed together in a huge pile.

"Ai..." Sighing, Huo Zaiyuan can only accept fate and begin arranging everything again.

There is already a rather cosy bamboo bed in the small bamboo house. Not to mention, the bed he used in his rented house and the old one from the Huo family home which he brought back. Since he doesn't need both of the latter, he might as well leave them to one side outside the bamboo house for now.

He had just thought to do so in his heart when before his amazed eyes, a flash of light surround both beds. The furniture disappears from the pile and reappears on the grass area beside the bamboo house, stacked neatly one on top of the other.

"Woah, so this space even has an ability like this..." Looking at those two beds, Huo Zaiyuan can't help exclaiming.

Now, moving the bigger, heavier furniture prove much more easy and time-saving. In no more than half an hour, almost everything has been placed satisfactorily where he wants them. Tomorrow morning, he will sell both beds and the study desk to the second-hand shop. The wardrobe and kitchen side table he will leave behind for personal use. As he already decided to learn how to cook for himself, he needs to purchase a stove and pots so the side table will be where he will place these items.

As for the piles of clothes, he had planned to sell most of them, but that was before he got this space. Now, it seems more logical to keep them all as he will need a change of clothes until he has somewhere to wash the worn clothes. The ones he can sell right now are those that no longer fit him, or doesn't suit his taste.

With a set plan in mind, Huo Zaiyuan digs right into the pile of clothes, sorting through them and pitting those he wants to keep in the wardrobe. Amongst the various fabrics, he finds a few blankets and quilts, none of which he plans on selling. Although he didn't experience chilly days in the half year he survived the apocalypse, there is no harm in keeping them in this space. Who knows, he might find a good use for them one day. No event is improbable, after all.

It took a while, but at last, he sorts everything out. Exhausted, he heads for the bamboo bed and dozes off immediately. As he is firmly pulled into Morpheus' embrace, Huo Zaiyuan doesn't notice the sky in his space gradually darkens, stars flicking above as night seemingly falls.

Cool breeze blows through the place, and the usually silent and immobile surroundings gradually come alive, just like the real world outside.
