July is the hottest time of the year in Jiangcheng.

Dog days have become the norm at this point, and the humidity in the Yangtze River basin is notoriously powerful, as soon as it heats up, it will be too smoky, making the city feel like a furnace.

Pedestrians on the road come and go in a hurry, all of them are upset by this hot summer day, and their hearts are dry, and they can't wait to get to their destination quickly and enjoy the coolness of the air conditioner.

However, at this time, the ancient saint's heart was a little cold......

Looking at the inn's revenue account on his phone, he knew that if the inn's business continued to be so bleak, he would only be able to hold out for another two or three months at most before he had to declare GG completely.

"Pills—"

The ancient saint's heart is called a miserable and miserable place, just like this deserted inn.

In fact, this kind of accounts that cannot make ends meet do not need to be counted at all, and as the owner of the inn and the chef and security guard, etc., etc......., etc Is the inn a loss, how can he not have a B number in his heart? Looking at the accounts is just a luxury to hope that you can lose less.

However, reality mercilessly slapped him in the face...... This is not just a loss, it is simply a loss to grandma's house!

"I was wrong, I was really wrong, I shouldn't have been a literary youth in the first place, if I wasn't a literary youth, I wouldn't have thought of running here to open this broken inn; If I hadn't come here to open this inn, I wouldn't have lost the hell like this; If I hadn't lost this ghost, I don't know how moisturizing my little life would be!! ”

Yes, Gu Shengzeng was a typical literary young man.

His ideal life is the kind of hermit style of 'living in the human realm without the noise of cars and horses', but as a new human in the 21st century, it is absolutely impossible for him to find a deserted mountain to live in like those ancient people who lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests.

Is there a net in the mountains? Is there takeaway? Express delivery doesn't work? …… Even if there are places that meet one or two of these conditions, they can't compare to city life anyway.

Therefore, after giving up the unrealistic plan of seclusion in the mountains and forests, the ancient saint could only settle for the next best thing and decided to create a more sensory residence in the metropolis.

So, this inn also appeared.

As for the origin of this 'start-up capital', he also took out a loan with the mortgage of the marriage house prepared for him by his family at the risk of breaking his leg, and the money borrowed was used to buy a business, pay rent, and simply renovate it, and there was not much money left.

There are also various expenses in the inn every month, although the rent is paid a year in advance, but he repays the loan, purchases, and pays various expenses every month, which adds up to a lot of expenses. Moreover, in the beginning, he was not as miserable as he is now, and even the work of the cook was carried on his own shoulders, and there were still a few employees in the inn who needed to be paid at that time.

But with the inn's poor management, he had to fire his few employees so that the inn could last a little longer, hoping to usher in a turnaround.

The result was obvious, of course, that this move was of no avail, and that the money he had left in his hand would only last another two or three months at most, and when the money was completely used up, not only would he not be able to operate the inn, but he would also have to take the house that was used for mortgage.

As soon as he thought of the consequences of this incident if his family knew about it, Gu Sheng broke out in a cold sweat!

I'm afraid it's light to break my leg......

In today's situation, he has recognized that he has no ability to run an inn at all, and after running a business, he is no longer as uncannibalistic as before, and he also understands that literary and artistic things really can't be eaten. It's a pity that there is no turning back when the bow is opened, and life can't be re-...... Huh? What is this?

Just when the ancient saint was self-examining for his youth and frivolity, and was also very pessimistic about his future fate, he suddenly saw a prompt box pop up on his mobile phone:

Do you want to understand the meaning of life? Want to ...... Alive? ’

'Yes (Y) / No (N)'

"Damn, this person is unlucky, he can stuff his teeth when he drinks cold water, and I can be poisoned by my mobile phone when I look at the account table?" The Ancient Saint rolled his eyes, and then felt sad about his luck again.

He is very tight on money now, and basically reduces his expenses wherever he can, and he doesn't even dare to go to the restaurant to eat by himself. This is good, the mobile phone was suddenly poisoned, and he himself was basically an electric white, and he had to take it to the mobile phone store to flash the phone, which was another unplanned expenditure.

As for the content itself that popped up on the screen, he didn't take it seriously at all.

"Breaking the virus, what age is it, still playing this set, do you really think my brother hasn't seen infinite horror?" Gu Sheng pursed his lips and poked the 'no' on the screen casually.

Bite!

When he clicked 'No', another prompt sound came from his mobile phone, and a prompt box popped up again:

You really don't want to understand the meaning of life...... Change your ordinary destiny? ’

'Yes (Y) / No (N)'

", you're still energetic, aren't you?!" Seeing that a different dialog box popped up on the phone, and it was obviously the content of the previous dialog box, Gu Sheng decisively clicked 'No' again.

Bite! A new tooltip has resurfaced:

Well, since you're really not interested in the meaning of life, let's talk about something else, like...... Do you have any dreams? ’

'Yes (Y) / No (N)'

"What do you mean, is this Wang Banbi possessed?" Looking at the newly popped up prompt box, the ancient saint who was holding his breath was amused, and he was now basically sure that this must be a boring virus designed by a hacker who was so idle that it couldn't be clicked.

No matter which option you click, new content will pop up all the time.

After realizing this, Gu Sheng, in the spirit of having to brush the machine anyway, simply clicked 'Yes', wanting to see what tricks the virus designed by this boring hacker could play.

Bite!

When Gu Sheng selected 'Yes', a new prompt popped up on his phone again:

'Very good, then...... Say what you dream! ’

‘（_______________）’

"Huh?" Seeing that the new pop-up prompt box was no longer a two-choice pattern, Gu Shengleng paused, obviously not expecting that this broken virus would not play cards according to the routine.

But when he has accepted that the virus was designed by some boring hacker, it is unacceptable that nothing has changed.

In the spirit of being idle anyway, he decided to continue playing with this boring hacker and clicked on the space on the tooltip.

"Can you really type......" Seeing the keypad popping up at the bottom of the screen, Gu Sheng pursed his lips, it seemed that he still underestimated the boredom of this boring hacker.

Of course, complaining is complaining, but since he has decided to play this old-fashioned quiz game, he will simply play it to the end.

So I typed in the space: My dream is to make my inn stronger and bigger, so that it will become the first in China, no, it will become the first inn in the world! You...... Can it be done?

After typing these words, Gu Sheng directly clicked the enter button and sent it out.

It's just that as soon as he finished it, he shook his head and laughed, and couldn't help but feel a little funny about his last almost provocative question, he actually provoked a set virus program?

"Looks like I'm just as boring as that guy." The Ancient Saint laughed to himself.

The various difficulties since the opening of the inn really overwhelmed him, making him, who was originally a full optimist, extremely depressed every day.

The tense nerves have led him to make some very low-level mistakes lately, and provoking a set virus program is just one of his many ridiculous actions. However, he is not really Shi Lezhi, so he quickly realized his absurdity.

Just as he was about to put down his phone and stop this boring quiz game.

A new tooltip pops up on the screen again:

'I'...... Absolutely! ’

"? What the heck?! The ancient saint's hand trembled, and he almost didn't throw the phone out.

What's the situation? Can this virus program still talk to itself?!

The previous questions only need to be followed by the two answers of 'yes and no' to design the next questions in advance, which is not difficult at all, so the ancient saint didn't take it seriously at all, but he made a choice.

But the sentence that jumped out now is clearly answering the question he provoked before, and the correspondence is also very neat, definitely not relying on any logical reasoning to judge the general question and then make a general answer, but really answering his provocation!

In the opinion of the ancient saints, there are only two possibilities for this situation: one is that the virus program is still remotely controlled by the boring hackers who designed it; The other is that the virus program itself can communicate with him like some artificial intelligence programs.

But the problem is that no matter which one it is, it makes him feel creepy!

If it's the former, wouldn't the other party be able to easily spy on themselves through the phone camera and headset? And if it's the latter, this virus is inevitably too high......

In a blink of an eye, many thoughts flashed through the ancient saint's mind.

It's just that before he could figure out whether it should be closed early today, he went to the mobile phone store to completely flash the phone, and an incredible scene appeared in front of him again!

Since the counter he was at was facing the door of the inn, it should have been easy to see the scene of the alley outside the door through the gate, and the guests who came could see it for the first time.

But just as he was shocked by the virus program on his phone that could answer him, the scene outside the gate suddenly changed - the scene of the alley suddenly disappeared, and it became gray, as if it was suddenly shrouded in thick fog, and the alley outside the door was completely visible!

In the center of the gray mist is a very deep vortex, constantly rotating at a constant speed, just looking at it gives people the feeling of wanting to suck the whole person in!

However...... This is just the beginning of the mutation!

At the same time as the scene outside the door changed abruptly, an unfamiliar mechanical voice suddenly appeared in the ancient sage's mind: "The master recognition program has been activated, and the binding is under-"
