Chapter 12: A Short Break
Bai Ji wasn't sleepy, but he really slept too comfortably, so when he woke up, it was already dark outside the window, and it was obviously seven or eight o'clock. Bai Ji stretched his waist and found that Xiao Ai was not on the bed, but sitting on the edge of the dining table in a daze, with a bowl of ordinary noodles in front of him.
"What? Don't eat it? Bai Ji sat down next to Xiao Ai slowly, and Xiao Ai shook his head and said, "Although I am in a state of matter, in the final analysis, I am still a string of codes, so theoretically I don't need to replenish my energy through food." ”
Bai Ji nodded, then closed his eyes, and after a while, there was another bowl of identical noodles on the table. Because he experienced a fierce battle last night, Bai Ji was already so hungry that his eyes were dizzy at this moment, so he didn't talk nonsense, picked up his chopsticks and ate them in a big gulp.
Xiao Ai poked Bai Ji's face and asked him very curiously: "Why do I feel that you are so amazing, although there are many questions in my mind that I don't understand, but I know the operation of the system well." According to common sense, it is difficult for new residents to skillfully use the functions of the system in a short period of time, and the purpose of the existence of our user's personalized intelligent system is to help residents as much as possible, especially to guide new residents to familiarize themselves with the system. ”
Bai Ji stopped his chopsticks, tilted his head and thought about it, but still spread his hand and said: "I don't know, maybe it's because my temperament is quite casual, I think that if you come here, you will be safe, and there is a universal system in your head, which is described in many online novels, right?" I think that's what I do. ”
Xiao Ai wanted to say that theory is one thing, and actual operation is another, but when he saw Bai Ji burying his head and eating again, he still choked back.
As if the value of his existence had been denied, Xiao Ai raised his chopsticks a little frustratedly and tentatively picked up a few noodles and sent them to his mouth. Then the expression on her face changed slightly, and she looked at Bai Ji, who was still eating noodles, and said in disgust: "Why do you like to eat this kind of thing?" ”
Naturally, this noodle will not be specially prepared by the system for residents, and with the extremely advanced functions of the system, it can completely embody an extremely luxurious feast in this virtual space. This bowl of noodles was actually made by Xiao Ai according to Bai Ji's preferences, but there were no condiments in this noodle at all, and the soup was very light, not so much soup as hot water with salt.
"Huh? Or else? What else can I do as a bachelor? Bai Ji said this, and then picked up the bowl and drank the soup in one gulp, I have to say that the simulation function of the system is indeed very strong, and the taste of this noodle is exactly the same as that he made himself.
It's not that Bai Ji can't live a more refined life, his nearly five-figure monthly salary is completely enough in N City, and Bai Ji is not lazy, if he is really lazy, then he just opens his mobile phone and orders a takeout, so why bother to cook noodles himself.
In fact, Bai Ji is the kind of person who can't stand refinement, and he has always felt that that kind of delicate life is not suitable for him, which will make him feel tired from the bottom of his heart.
Maybe only by being born in suffering will Bai Ji feel that his life is not rotten. Thinking about it, Bai Ji found that Xiao Ai was still looking at the soaked noodles in a daze, so he lit a cigarette for himself and asked her slowly: "Xiao Ai, although I am already a resident of the hotel, it shouldn't affect my daily life, right?" ”
"Yes." Xiao Ai nodded, "Theoretically, as long as you don't reveal the information about the existence of the system and the hotel to the outside world, even if you use special abilities in your daily life, the system will not interfere with you in any way. ”
"However, if you reveal any information about the existence of the hotel and the system to the outside world, you should be clear about the consequences."
Bai Ji nodded as if he didn't understand, and then asked, "Although it sounds a little strange to say, didn't I die on the road last night?" And what about my corpse. ”
"Your body will be erased by the system, as will any camera recordings of your travels last night. So you don't have to worry about someone knowing about your accidental death last night. Xiao Ai explained, and then reached out and stuffed Bai Ji's mobile phone into his hand, "This is a personal item recovered from your corpse." ”
No wonder Bai Ji always felt that something bad was about to happen, and when he took over the phone, he found that there were dozens of missed calls in total, all of which came from his superiors.
Bai Ji subconsciously dialed back, and then he remembered, since he had been implanted in the system, what did he care about work? But it was a little too late to hang up the phone at this time, no, as soon as the phone was connected, Bai Ji was scolded by his superiors.
"Didn't I tell you yesterday that this project is going to be completed today? Do you know what time it is? The whole company is waiting for you to hand over, where did you die? Usually work lazy, even if you come to the company every day with the smell of alcohol, I don't care about you, but the project was stopped by you, and when it comes to the handover day, you say that you are absent from work? You don't feel like a person anymore, you know? I can tell you, this project is about the future development of the company, and if you don't get me the full project plan before 12 o'clock, you won't have to go to work tomorrow! ”
The end also added: "There are things that are born by fathers and not raised by mothers." ”
"Say it again." Bai Ji suppressed his anger and whispered.
"I said you have a father and no mother, what's the matter? Am I wrong? Don't do it if you have the ability, don't think that you can walk sideways in the company if you are a little smart, I can ...... at any time before you sit in my place."
"Fuck you." Bai Ji said in a deep voice.
"What did you say?" The other end seemed a little incredulous.
"I said fuck you!" Bai Ji finally couldn't suppress his anger and roared into the phone, "Do you think Lao Tzu wants to work in a company that you can't see at all?" If it weren't for Lao Tzu working overtime all day, your pile of solving cases would be enough for you to sacrifice to your ancestors for the eighteenth generation of paper money, and bless you like a waste for the rest of your life. ”
"You, you, I'll tell you......"
Before the other party could continue, Bai Ji had already cut off the phone first.
"Cool?" Xiao Ai glanced at Bai Ji and peeled a banana for herself.
"I've never had this cool time in my life." Bai Ji let out a long sigh of relief, "Hey, I said, didn't you say that you don't need to rely on food to replenish your energy?" ”
Xiao Ai looked at Bai Ji with a smile, "But bananas are delicious." ”
Then take a bite.
"It's boring." Bai Ji shook his head, and then opened the mobile phone chat software to reply some completely unnutritious messages to some people with fancy avatars. Then he raised his head again and asked Xiao Ai, "By the way, the system has recovered my personal belongings, so what happened to my growler?"
"Oh? Are you asking about that heavy motorcycle? Xiao Ai threw the banana peel into the trash, clapped his hands and said, "You should have seen it too, right?" The motorcycle had been dismantled, and even if it was recovered, it would not be able to drive again. ”
Bai Ji thought about it, but still asked, "Can the system fix it?" ”
"Yes, but it will cost you a little points, I advise you to ......"
Before Xiao Ai could finish speaking, Bai Ji had already closed his eyes first, and when he opened his eyes, he already had a bunch of keys in his hand. Seeing that Xiao Ai was about to get angry, Bai Ji hurriedly explained: "Look, you need vehicles to complete the mission, right, I think the vehicles in the system are expensive, and the Growler means a lot to me, so I think it's worth spending a point to fix it." ”
Xiao Ai didn't pay attention to Bai Ji's words, but turned his head and snorted arrogantly. Bai Ji was about to continue to speak, only to hear "Ding Dong", and the doorbell of the room was ringed.
"You wait for now." Bai Ji said this, then stood up and opened the door.
The person standing outside the door was Chen Xu, and when she saw Bai Ji, her expression was extremely disgusted. Bai Ji frowned inexplicably, Chen Xu pointed to Bai Ji's chest, and then Bai Ji realized that he hadn't cleaned himself up at all since he entered the hotel this morning, so now he was still covered in coagulated blood stains, and the smell of fish and sweat was sandwiched together, and even a girl couldn't stand it.
"Why don't you wait?" Bai Ji asked, but Chen Xu shook his head and said, "No need, I don't plan to stay too long." ”
Then she pointed to Xiao Ai in Bai Ji's room and asked Bai Ji, "This is your intelligent system, right?" ”
Before Bai Ji could answer, Xiao Ai took the first step to wave at Chen Xu and said, "Hello, I'm Bai Ji's new girlfriend Xiao Ai." ”
"Don't listen to her." Bai Ji said with a black line on his face, and then asked Chen Xu: "Do you have anything to do with me?" ”
Chen Xu let out a "hmm", sighed and said: "It's about the score, I have a total of eight points now, three points come from the system's evaluation of the task, mine is good, and five points come from killing the mutant alien." ”
"Well, I have a little more points than you, I have a total of twelve points. The system gave me an excellent evaluation of the task, and here it gave me five points, and then I killed a baby alien and rewarded two points, and the other five points were given for killing the mutant alien with you. Bai Ji said.
Chen Xu nodded, "Although my intelligent system has explained it to me very clearly, I still don't know how to use these eight points, so I plan to ask you." ”
Bai Ji thought for a moment, but still shook his head and said: "I can't give you any constructive advice, after all, we are all new residents, and we don't have many points in our hands, maybe after saving more, the one-time exchange of better things will be more significant." But I can tell you that I paid ten points for an infinite bullet pistol. In addition, I also found that there is an exchange item in the system that can return to normal life, but it costs a thousand points. ”
Chen Xu pursed his lips and said softly, "Thank you." Seeing Chen Xu's preoccupied appearance, Bai Ji was about to ask her to go downstairs to breathe, but his watch suddenly vibrate.
Bai Ji looked down and found that a line of words was displayed on the display screen of the watch-
Upon receipt of the system task, the details of the task will be posted on the multifunction watch at 8 o'clock Beijing time, please be sure to arrive at the hotel lobby before 8 o'clock Beijing time to meet up with other participating residents.
