Chapter 4: Ghost in the Pod
Xu Tao followed the employee into the weird metal box with a hint of cautiousness. However, feeling no ill intent from the man at the moment, he chose to just follow him... for now.
"...!"
When the metal box’s door closed and the thing suddenly started moving, he first thought he was being brought somewhere deep underground. But no—the sensation bearing down on him... they weren’t going down, but instead, up.
"We’ve arrived at the third floor!" Before Xu Tao could plan countermeasures, the metal box already opened up, revealing a foreign scenery before him.
It was completely different from that of the first floor, where the glass-and-metal coffins lined up in the open. In here, you couldn’t see much of anything but singular rooms with lockable doors.
The clerk continued onward, walking to the furthest spot—the best machine they could offer. One that usually could only be used by VVIP customers.
But since he paid tens of millions of Yuan in value for just a few thousand Yuan room, the clerk thought the boss would get angry with him if he offered anything less.
"Please get in. I’ll explain the machine to you shortly."
Xu Tao nodded, then carefully lay down on the egg-shaped coffin—or pod, in their words.
"Oh!"
To his surprise, the inside was comfortable... comfortable enough that he somewhat wanted to take the entire thing home if he could.
