The Speaking Pork Trotter

In the neon of blue and purple, under the thick steel sky, at the forefront of this surge of data, lies the world post-tech revolution.
It's also the dividing line between reality and illusion.
Steel and flesh, past and future.
In this place, the world outside and inside coexist. Everything in front of us feels like a wall of time within reach.
The darkness is slowly creeping in.
But hey, my friend, you gotta know, we can't just counter darkness with softness.
Gotta use fire.

The Arctic slowly sailed out of the harbor.


The worn-out crabbing boat's engine made strange noises, splitting the sea surface just like a cutter on a canvas.


Nedup, a man in his thirties, was once a sailor on a Pine Crabbing Boat. Zhang Jian said that this crew member had been blacklisted by all crabbing boats due to his history of drug use.


In his early years, Nedup followed Zhang Jian's father, hence he approached Zhang Jian, hoping to go to sea with him.


Many sailors among the crab catchers secretly used prohibited drugs because they earned money too quickly and were too exhausted on the boat, thinking these drugs would invigorate them like the dopamine and endorphin chips in the Inner World.


But the end for those using banned substances was harsh, as no crabbing boat wanted to associate with such sailors.


Zhang Jian decided to give Nedup a chance, took him for a urine test, and finally agreed to let him onboard after confirming the test was negative.
