Jost sat down at the dining table, covering his face in worry.

The contents of the box were lost by themselves.

What to do?

Although I don't know why that attic didn't disappear.

But the attic hasn't disappeared, and if you can still climb it, it means that the thing is still there.

As long as you don't sell the house, it will come out sooner or later.

Presumably.

Thinking so, Jost's potatoes were fried. After eating the rest of the bread at home, Jost was still very hungry and could only eat potatoes.

The aroma of starch emitted by the oil temperature spreads throughout the room.

Jost first boiled the potatoes with water, and then slowly fried them in oil, and the starch on the surface of the potatoes formed a golden layer of crispy, and the inside had already been boiled and powdered.

Sprinkle some salt and pick up a piece and put it in your mouth.

Yes~

This is!

Wet.

Jost's saliva flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes.

The fragrant golden yellow cracked under the pressure of the tip of the teeth, and the boiled powder inside turned into mashed potatoes and poured out.

Then with a sip, the golden yellow melts on the tip of the tongue, silky, and the base notes are accompanied by some rustling graininess. At this time, the salt on the surface has melted along with the fat, bringing out the sweetness of the potatoes.

Morsel.

Two mouthfuls.

Three...

Jost noticed that the potatoes on the spoon were missing, and the sound of chewing was heard in his ears.

Jost then discovers that his double is already on the table, and the potatoes in the bowl are disappearing piece by piece.

Pandas eat potatoes? Don't pandas eat bamboo?

By the time Jost reacted, the potatoes in the bowl had already been eaten.

"Hey, I'm not full yet." Jost looked at the stand-in who was licking the basin.

The stand-in "drinking" looked at Joost at this time.

For some reason, Jost instantly understood what it meant.

Still.

Jost's face was covered in black lines, and he felt that he might not be able to raise his own double.

I'm still young, and I don't know if the stand-in will grow up.

If you really grow up and eat more, you may have to work hard to raise a stand-in.

At this point, the stand-in pointed to the remaining potatoes on the ground.

Do some more.

……

The stand-in is really difficult to serve, watching him eat all his reserve food and then sleep on his shoulder to "drink", Jost instantly felt tired.

Ate a full ten potatoes again.

In the end, he seemed to give himself a look.

If I didn't guess wrong, it meant that I had to order my own wine.

But I just seem to have heard my stand-in say that I want to drink? But how to give the stand-in to drink. His stand-in actually wants to drink, and it seems that he will have to buy a few bottles of vodka when he goes out.

I haven't drunk it myself! And the wine is so hard to drink, what kind of wine to drink.

But now it's important to study this thing called a stand-in. A stand-in like grandpa can create a space without knowing what your stand-in is capable of.

…

Hunter Street.

The weather was sunny and sunny.

A man who wore a pair of sunglasses and seemed to be in a good mood today, came to this unmarked store again with a cane.

Thinking in his heart, how to fulfill Dalio's grandfather's instructions and help his grandson awaken the stand-in.

With that in mind, the man walked to the door.

I looked at the "temporarily closed" sign at the door that didn't seem to have been taken down, and I was stunned for a few seconds.

There was a thin layer of dust on the doorknob, and it looked like no one had been here for a few days.

It's been a few days???

Is this business still going to be done?

Grandpa Dalio also said that Jost was a little lazy, and he didn't care.

Now it seems that maybe this one is a little... It's 100 million points!

looked at the mailbox and found the note he had put a few days ago, and he was a little speechless.

At this time, Jost was staring at his double with wide eyes.

The data of your own stand-in comes into view:

Stand-in name: Drinking

Destructive power: E

Speed: E

Precision: E

Range: B

Long-lasting: ∞

Growth: A

Hardness: B

Stand-in ability: To be explored

Is this the "system"? The word "system" came to mind with a certain name, and such and such a name knew the meaning of the word.

Jost suddenly felt that he might be the "chosen one" as the church would say.

I often have some strange knowledge in my head.

There are also some strange melodies that often come to mind intermittently.

Over the years, Jost has also composed many tunes based on these melodies. It's just that playing on the piano and violin is not so brainwashing, and it seems to have lost its soul.

Although Grandpa Dalio often said that it was too vulgar to be elegant, his legs were shaky and honest. For this reason, Dalio takes Jost to concerts every week, so-called to receive artistic cleansing.

Looking at his stand-in, Jost could vaguely feel that his stand-in's ability was related to eating and drinking, and in this way, he planned to buy some food, and he had to buy some vodka.

Pick up the stand-in and put it on your shoulder, take some money and stuff it in your pocket, put on your keys, and get ready to go out.

At this time, Jost thought that others might see the drinking, and was wondering how to make it disappear, and the drinking slowly disappeared.

Thinking of the information in my head, the long-lasting ∞ means that my stand-in can always exist? Anyway, Jost didn't feel tired, and then Jost also found that his stand-in could be touched, but I don't know if ordinary people can touch it.

Jost was a little confused and ready to try a wild cat.

Well, do animal experiments first, no problem.

Picking up his sturdy backpack again, Jost changed into his shoes and went out the back door of the studio as usual, which was more convenient and closer.

At this time...... The man in sunglasses is at the gate ready to knock.

I thought to myself, if I waited for Jost to come out by himself, I don't know when.

Knock knock on the door a few times.

He finally heard movement in the house.

1 minute ......

3 minutes ......

5 minutes ......

By this time, Jost had already gone out, buying food and wine.

"Little Jost, have you come to buy wine for old Dario? I haven't been here in a few days! I thought this old thing was going to quit drinking. ”

The other side.

13 minutes ......

The man in sunglasses is a little impatient.

15 minutes .......

Sunglasses are annoying.

He was going to have a stand-in take a look.

"Bard" !!

A humanoid double appeared behind him in an instant, and then emerged from a book in the house.

At this time, the man in sunglasses did not forget to open his mouth to read two lines of poetry:

Еслижизньтебяобманет, (If life deceives you,)

Непечалься, несердись!(Don't be sad, don't be anxious!) ）

(Calm on a melancholy day.) ）

(Note 1: Quoted from Pushkin's poem "If Life Deceives You")

Jost came home with a bag of food and two bottles of vodka and saw someone smuggling at his doorstep.

Then I saw a humanoid double appear and disappear again......
