Creating a Sandbox World

...

When the carriage drove into the eastern urban area, the houses on both sides of the road were obviously dilapidated, and there were fewer and fewer single-family or row villas. Correspondingly, there were many low-rent apartments.

Every city has a huge number of poor people, and the metropolis is no exception.

As the largest slum in the Kingdom of Winton, there are countless people at the bottom of society living here. They have no savings, or are pitiful, and can only obtain daily food by doing some manual labor. The environment here is also extremely harsh, and the roads are broken. , Muddy, dirty air, sewage rampant.

Mei Li is no stranger to these things. After all, she grew up here since she was a child. She is well aware of hunger and poverty, and she has also witnessed the darkness and deceitfulness of the world early on.

It's just that after enjoying the luxury of the upper class and setting foot here again, some subtle changes occurred in his psychology.

This feeling reached its peak after Mei Li got off the carriage, stepped on the alley like a stinky ditch, and came to an extremely dilapidated and old apartment.

"Merry? Isn't it only Tuesday today? Why are you back?" When she opened the door, the mother, who was immersed in washing the dishes, asked in surprise.

Yes, Merry's home is here.

"Come back and see you."

Mei Li said calmly, her eyes swept across the dark apartment house.

The family is as poor and cold as ever, only the size of a palm, but full of a whole family.

At this moment, upon hearing his voice, a hunchbacked middle-aged man poked his head out, his face was numb:

"How much did you bring back?"

An inexplicable feeling of nausea arose in Mei Li's heart, but she still threw the accumulated savings over in a fit of anger, with some force, almost beating.

However, the man named father didn't care, and finally showed a smile.

"Where's Joan? Where's she?" Merry asked.

"I went to the public toilet. I just went out. It's only a little big, and I still eat a lot." The man muttered dissatisfied.

"I'll go find her." Mei Li said coldly, then turned around immediately, glanced at the timid mother who was clutching a rag next to her, her tone finally softened, "I'll come back later."

After finishing speaking, she went straight downstairs and walked through the cold and cramped corridors. Her eyes lit up and she happened to see a skinny girl who was about eight or nine years old walking back slowly.

Seeing Mei Li, the little girl named Joan's eyes lit up: "Sister! You are back!"

As she said that, she ran over, a real smile finally appeared on Meili's face, she knelt down, hugged her sister, and said, "Well, I'm back, and I brought a gift for Joan."

"A gift? Is it something to eat?" Feeling her sister's question, Joan raised her head, and her eyes, which were extraordinarily large due to her thinness, were full of longing.

"No," Mei Li bought a pass, and then smiled before her sister showed disappointment, "It's just something infinitely better than food."

"What is it?"

"Come on, let's find a secluded place, and my sister will show it to you." Meili got up, took her sister's hand, looked around cautiously, then led the latter, and hid in a corner of the apartment.

She remembered that the house in this block was not rented out, and it was relatively quiet.

At this moment, the last rays of the setting sun have completely disappeared, and the Metropolis of Winton has entered the night.

Yes, Meili is going to give her wish to her younger sister tonight. As for the possible leak of news, since she wants to make the family live a better life, it is inevitable, and she has also thought about her words.

After entering the corridor and confirming that there was no one around, Meili took her sister to sit on the cold steps, and then carefully took out the "wish candle" and a matchbox from her arms.

"Joan, my sister has just learned magic, she can conjure anything you want, do you want to see it?" Meili asked gently.

Joan blinked, nodded vigorously,

There is no doubt about him.

"The magic is very simple. Wait for my sister to light this candle, and then you can make a wish on it. Whatever you want, just say it."

Seeing her sister nodding, Meili took out a match, struck it with a click, and struck it open.

Immediately, the half of the candle that seemed to never burn out lit up.

"Come on, make a wish." Mei Li urged.

"Is everything okay?"

"Of course, anything."

Joan swallowed her saliva, and looked awkwardly at the flame in front of her, her hands clasped together in front of her as if pulled by some kind of force.

Feeling the temperature of the candles close at hand and the dryness of her stomach, she thought for a while, her eyes became confused for a while, and a voice gradually amplified in her heart:

"I make a wish... I want a cake, no, two, no... I want a lot of cakes... Even if I eat it for a hundred years, ten thousand years, I can't finish the cakes..."

In the quiet corridor, the two sisters were illuminated by the dim light of the candle, the flame flickered slightly, and then a halo of light spread out.

The halo is getting bigger and bigger.

Penetrating through walls, apartments, streets... quietly rolled across the entire East Side, and continued to spread.

...

...

North District, inside Earl Ander's mansion.

The handsome and tall second son of the earl was sitting on the sofa with absent-minded eyes, staring blankly at the empty coffee table with both eyes, and echoed in his ears the words of the church personnel who came to "investigate" with the police department during the day.

Yes, as the second son of the earl, he has some understanding of the so-called extraordinary power. He knows that that power does still exist, hidden in the churches of every city, secretly maintaining the order of the kingdom.

"But...how is it possible...that beautiful lady...why doesn't she exist?"

He said to himself, scratching his hair in pain, his eyes full of pain.

Suddenly, something appeared out of thin air in his vision.

He froze for a moment, raised his head, and found a cake appeared on the tea table in front of him, about the size of a washbasin, three stories high, filled with cream, and there were big, bright red strawberries on top.

"Who brought it? I'm not in the mood to eat now!" He roared depressingly.

The servants who heard the sound looked at each other. A maid hesitated for a moment and said in a trembling voice, "Master, we didn't let that go, it...it appeared suddenly."

"Appeared suddenly? Huh? Are you making fun of me?" The young man let out a huff, and was about to say something, when suddenly, he was horrified to see that there were two more cakes on the coffee table.

...

In the laundromat.

After nightfall, the female workers scattered to go home, and the shop became quiet.

Mrs. Sling, who looked mean, went back to her room with a sullen face.

He took off his coat, turned on the gas light switch, and then saw in a daze that there was a big four-story high cake on the table.

"The gods are above!" She whispered, and then she was pleasantly surprised. Although she didn't know the reason, she still walked over quickly, pinched a strawberry and stuffed it into her mouth... Then she squinted her eyes in enjoyment.

But when she opened her eyes again, she was shocked to find that there were five cakes in front of her.

...

Thorn Street.

"Miss, it's not safe to go out so late."

In a certain mansion, the elderly maid couldn't help saying.

However, Miss Daisy, who was obviously in a bad mood, didn't bother to talk to her, she just said: "The housekeeper will accompany me, I just go out to relax."

At the same time, he opened the door and walked out.

"Still waiting for the master to come back..."

"what!"

In the next second, the elderly maid standing in the corridor only heard a terrified cry from the lady outside the door.

She ran out in a hurry, and was shocked to find that there were cakes appearing on the streets and buildings at some time, densely packed, probably tens of thousands of them.

Still increasing rapidly!

Even the yard is so full of piles that it is almost impossible to settle down.

Farther away, the carriages driving on the street were also forced to stop.

Citizens avoided the delicious big cakes that appeared out of nowhere one after another in astonishment, and some people were simply drowned by the one-person-high cream falling from the chimney.

"Do not!"

"damn it!"

"How is this going?"

a mess.

...

Metropolis, church headquarters.

Brightly lit.

"Grand Priest! An extraordinary event has occurred!!" An extraordinary person from the Church ran anxiously and pushed Anne Hathaway's room away.

Just then, Hathaway, wearing a deep red robe and a crown of pure white flowers, was holding a small cake with frost on her front.

In the bedroom next to her, new cakes appeared out of thin air every second.

...

...

"Anomalies have appeared?" Li Shan Martial Arts, in the study.

Lin Tuo, who had just finished drinking a cup of coffee, could only see that the ether cloud over the sand table, to be precise, over the Winton Kingdom of the Northern Continent suddenly fluctuated abnormally.

Just like boiling water, it boils.

Without hesitation, he immediately sat down and activated his ability. The surrounding scenery was shattered, and a magnificent temple suddenly emerged.

The moment he entered the phantom space, Lin Tuo looked at the sand table next to him, and then discovered with his supernatural induction that the ray of ether belonging to Hathaway was slightly shining.

He immediately reached out to touch and pull.

In the next second, a figure in a slightly hazy red dress appeared beside the round table. Hathaway's expression was obviously very serious, and she quickly bowed and saluted:

"The observer, the anomaly you mentioned may have already appeared. At this moment, the entire metropolis is being filled with cakes at a terrifying speed, and it is rapidly spreading outward..."

cake?

Hearing this word, Lin Tuo was stunned for a moment, and then forced to ask blankly: "Is the source of the abnormality locked?"

"East District! We have sensed an extremely violent fluctuation of magic power in a certain area of ​​the Eastern District! I have already sent people there!" Hathaway spoke quickly.

Eastern District... Lin Tuo recalled it, but found that he had no impression. After thinking about it for a while, he said sternly:

"Very good, you rush to deal with it immediately. If you can't control the situation, you have to find a way to figure it out. It shows the form of power. Once you grasp it, report it to me as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

"Be careful." Lin Tuo warned, and immediately sent Hathaway back, and the ether thread representing her disappeared. Obviously, the Grand Master had finished his training and rushed to the scene.

Lin Tuo kept moving, looked at the other two countries, and brought in Alrod and Neftu to explain the situation.

Immediately, he did not cancel the illusion, but turned his attention to the evolution sand table.

Look towards the place where the "metropolis" of the Winton Kingdom is located.

Then, Lin Tuo's breathing tightened slightly, and he saw that horrifying scene.

The whole city is being swallowed up by exponentially growing cakes.
