[Video]
The camera slowly settles over ten residential buildings.
Out of these ten buildings, eight have no lights on. Even so, standing in this dim, snowy expanse, all ten buildings still look incredibly eye-catching.
Especially the two buildings with scattered lights glowing inside them, giving people the feeling of being back in a city from before.
It's like after working hard all day.
Returning to your apartment complex, seeing lights in every home, hearing the everyday bustle drifting through the neighborhood. Children crying, housewives cooking while scolding their kids, neighbors chatting with each other.
How long had it been since they last saw a scene like this? Ever since arriving here, every single day had felt like a year.
They were almost forgetting that they too had once lived in that peaceful world.
And as the camera moved forward, all the viewers followed along, entering that building with the most lights. Flight after flight of stone stairs looked simple and ordinary. Probably the only difference from the original world was how unbelievably clean and tidy these corridors were.
There wasn't even a single small advertisement posted anywhere.
That left quite a few people feeling a bit disappointed. What they wanted to see and feel was something closer to their original world. This small sense of mismatch pulled them back to reality.
So it turned out… this was still that cruel Mist World after all.
But when the camera slowly pushed into those small two-bedroom apartments, players from all regions realized once again that maybe they were wrong.
Even though everything here was somewhat different from the original world, that sense of everyday life hadn't changed at all!
At this moment, since most of the residents had already finished eating, they had all returned to their dorms.
And because the logistics staff were worried people might feel lonely, they specifically arranged housing according to everyone's wishes, assigning two people per apartment so that everyone would have someone to keep them company.
Of course, if a female resident and a male resident took a liking to each other and both agreed, the logistics staff could also arrange for them to stay in the same apartment.
According to the lord, this was beneficial to the residents' physical and mental health.
Although, the logistics staff didn't really understand what the lord meant by that.
But as long as they followed the lord's instructions, that was enough.
As the camera entered one particular room, it just happened to be the small suite where Wood Eight and the healer girl lived together. At this moment, neither of them knew that someone had already entered their dorm.
The healer girl and Wood Eight were sitting on a wooden sofa, which Wood Eight had moved next to the balcony.
The balcony door was closed, keeping the warmth in while still letting them see the night view outside.
It was simply beautiful.
The couple sitting on the wooden sofa held hands, whispering softly to each other. As she spoke, the healer girl kept laughing to herself.
As for Wood Eight, he scratched his head from time to time, letting out silly chuckles.
It seemed, from beginning to end, he hadn't really understood what the healer girl was saying. He just felt happy looking at her, and that made him happy too.
While talking, the healer girl occasionally slapped his arm and said, "You dummy! What are you grinning like an idiot for again?"
"I just think the way my wife talks looks really nice, and that makes me really happy."
Wood Eight's words were sweet enough to make anyone's teeth ache.
So the person who had quietly entered the room finally couldn't take it anymore and coughed lightly, "Ahem!"
"Lord!"
Hearing the voice, the healer girl and Wood Eight almost turned their heads at the same time, looking behind them.
They quickly stood up. Although there was a bit of fluster and redness on their faces, there wasn't the slightest trace of fear. In fact, they even looked happy, "Lord, what brings you here?"
"Did you come so late because there's something you need Wood Eight to do?", Wood Eight said earnestly, "I'll go put on my coat right now. Please wait for me, Lord!"
"No need! No need!"
Ethan waved his hand, "I just came to check on you, see if you're getting used to living here."
"Used to it! Of course we are, such a great place," Wood Eight laughed foolishly, "Lord, you don't even know how much more comfortable this place is compared to the previous one. Not only is there a balcony and a sofa, there's even heating. Staying inside in this weather reminds me of life on a heated kang… huh? What's a kang? Why did I suddenly think of that?"
"You dummy, don't spout nonsense in front of the lord!"
The healer girl originally wanted to knock Wood Eight on the head, but unfortunately she wasn't as tall as him.
So in the end, she settled for slapping his arm instead, then turned to Ethan and said respectfully, "Lord, this place is really comfortable. The previous dorm was already good enough, but thank you for caring about us and building such a nice place for us to live. We're all very grateful to you."
"Alright, alright, no need for all the formalities," Ethan waved his hand, "I'm just walking around. You don't have to be so stiff!"
"Thank you, Lord, for caring about us. I really… really…"
As the healer girl spoke, tears actually began to well up in her eyes.
Ethan couldn't help but laugh helplessly, "Alright, alright, you two carry on. I'll go check the next place. If I stay here any longer, I'm afraid I'll make you cry."
"I'm not crying, I'm not…"
Even as she said that, tears spilled from her eyes, gathering into clear droplets that fell one after another with soft pattering sounds.
Left with no choice, Ethan gave Wood Eight a look and said quietly, "Take care of your wife. I'm heading out "
"I… uh…"
Wood Eight immediately became flustered. On one hand, he wanted to see the lord off. On the other, he wanted to comfort his wife.
He ended up completely at a loss, waving his hands around awkwardly, not knowing whether to move forward or stay.
"No need to see me off."
Ethan had no choice but to make it clear.
Hearing this, Wood Eight finally let out a long breath of relief, "Alright, alright, Lord, take care on your way."
After leaving the first small apartment unit, Ethan then went to the second unit. This one was the logistics staff's room.
Because the logistics staff liked sleeping naked, they didn't live with anyone else and had a room to themselves. Knowing this habit, Ethan naturally wouldn't just barge in.
If the logistics staff caught him peeking, that would be one thing. But if the entire world channel got a free show, that would be a much bigger problem.
Knock! Knock!
Ethan knocked on the door.
From inside, a flustered voice immediately called out, "Who is it! Please wait a moment, I'll open the door right away."
"It's me, Ethan!"
Ethan replied.
Hearing this, the voice inside became even more anxious, "Lord, it's you! Please wait a moment, I'll be ready right away."
"It's fine, take your time, no rush."
Ethan responded.
But then he suddenly realized that saying it like that didn't seem quite right. It felt like he had revealed something he shouldn't have.
