Chapter 26: Fantasy Scripture (VII) Zhang Xiaodeng's Dreamland. ...

Zhang Deng really didn't fall in love with Wei Yuanye.

It was just because Wei Yuanye left and he returned to living alone. He felt really lonely, so he became mentally unstable.

Elia assessed Zhang Deng's mental state and concluded that Zhang Deng was now heavily dependent on Wei Yuanye.

Zhang Deng flatly denied it and said, "I want to know what data you based your conclusion on?"

"I think you're being a bit too subjective."

Elia said in disbelief, "I'm an artificial intelligence! You're calling me subjective?"

"Yes," Zhang Deng said, "I have reason to suspect that because you've seen so many cases, you've formed a fixed mindset. You always assume that recipients will develop a dependent mentality, which is why you make this judgment about me. I think this is a form of discrimination and prejudice."

Elia: “…”

"Huh?" Elia said, "I'm sorry."

Zhang Deng said, "I can forgive you."

Jia Ming said: "You two are so loving."

"What should I do now?" Jia Ming wailed. "How should I report on my work?"

But no matter what, Wei Yuanye can no longer return to Zhang Deng's world. Zhang Deng's world has been reported to be completed. If problems arise again, he will have to continue entering the projects that need to be queued and wait for new supporters to enter the world to solve the problems.

It is unlikely that it will be Wei Yuanye's turn.

But Zhang Deng’s current problem lies with Wei Yuanye.

No one knew what to do.

Zhang Deng was extremely shocked by their unprofessionalism. He said, "Isn't it normal for recipients to have such a mentality? Why do you act like you've never seen this before and have no emergency plan?"

Jia Ming said: "Because they won't come to kill me directly like you did..."

Zhang Deng understood: "Oh oh."

"This is indeed a very normal phenomenon," Jia Ming said. "However, after the major problems in the lives of beneficiaries are solved, they will often be immersed in joy, diluting the sadness of the supporter's departure. Even if they are truly sad, they will not suffer a mental breakdown... Your situation is indeed quite special. Due to the principle of special handling of special matters, our regular affairs department is no longer able to solve your problem. I suggest that next time you travel directly to the special affairs department—"

Wei Yuanye frowned, and Jia Ming immediately said, "I was just kidding."

"I'll continue to report it," Jia Ming said. "I'll give you a solution within five working days—three, three, maybe."

Seeing Wei Yuanye's dissatisfied expression, Jia Ming immediately changed his words.

Zhang Deng felt that Jia Ming seemed a little afraid of Wei Yuanye, and was therefore very respectful to him.

He himself didn't care whether the problem was solved or not, as time would always dilute everything. However, if there was a good solution, it would be great. What if it could give him a chance to contact Wei Yuanye? Zhang Deng thought so and agreed.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Deng began his life of going to work - traveling - going to work - traveling.

The places Zhang Deng traveled through seemed to be very random, and the World Tree seemed to have issued a notice. Many people were not surprised to see Zhang Deng in any strange places, and they directly contacted the relevant personnel through internal communications.

At first, they contacted Jia Ming, but later Jia Ming got tired of it and asked them to contact Wei Yuanye directly.

Wei Yuanye was halfway through taking a shower and hadn't blow-dried his hair yet when he came out, dressed and sat on a bench with a drink in his hand. When he saw him, he smiled and waved.

Zhang Deng handed him the drink and said, "It doesn't taste good. I'll give it to you."

This is a best-selling functional drink from World Tree. Just now, someone saw Zhang Deng and didn't know anyone, so he felt sorry for sitting there. So he handed it to him and contacted Wei Yuanye by the way. Wei Yuanye took it and drank it in two gulps.

Zhang Deng felt a little embarrassed and said, "Am I really disturbing your life?"

Wei Yuanye shook his head: "I don't have much of a life."

Wei Yuanye was wearing a white uniform today, which made him look even more handsome than in ordinary clothes. Although everyone here looked good, Wei Yuanye was obviously one of the most outstanding ones among them.

"Oh," Zhang Deng didn't know what to say, "Okay, I should be leaving soon."

At this time, Zhang Deng was taking a lunch break. He suddenly remembered Wei Yuanye and traveled in.

Zhang Deng was also distressed, but Wei Yuanye stood up and said, "Let's go."

"Huh? Where are you going?"

Wei Yuanye said: "My home."

After he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong and said, "My dormitory."

Wei Yuanye's dormitory was on the upper floors of the World Tree. Zhang Deng watched him press the number 2312. He said, "How many floors does the World Tree have in total?"

"More than three thousand." Wei Yuanye said.

His hair was almost dry at this time. Later, many people entered the elevator and saw the two of them. It seemed that compared to Zhang Deng who saw someone from another world, Wei Yuanye made them feel more surprised.

Many people glanced at Wei Yuanye and also at Zhang Deng. Zhang Deng felt that strange feeling.

Among the floors pressed by these people, Wei Yuanye's 2312 was the highest, and the rest were basically around a few hundred or a thousand. The elevators ran very fast, putting down one person every few seconds on average. There were hundreds of elevators running at the same time, and the sound of electric currents was endless. They arrived in less than a minute.

Zhang Deng said, "This speed is incredible."

Wei Yuanye walked ahead and said, "The World Tree uses the most advanced technology."

"So, are all of you supporters?"

"Almost." Wei Yuanye walked to a door, pushed it open, and said, "Most of them are frontline support personnel. There are also some senior executives doing research and development, management and other things, as well as logistics."

Zhang Deng entered his room and he was a little reserved: "Do you need to change your shoes?"

"No need," Wei Yuanye said, "the room is self-cleaning."

Wei Yuanye didn't even change his shoes. He just sat on his bed and looked at the light.

Zhang Deng took a quick look at Wei Yuanye's room. The room was about 30 square meters and almost entirely white, with a color scheme that was even a bit dazzling. Some daily necessities were casually placed in a visible position. It was a very standard bachelor's room, not too tidy, but not too messy either.

Zhang Deng asked, "What do you usually eat?"

Wei Yuanye is good at cooking, but there is no cooking facilities here. Wei Yuanye said, "I just ate."

Zhang Deng remembered the bottle of energy drink he had given Wei Yuanye earlier. He said with some disapproval, "Is that all you need to drink?"

Wei Yuanye said: "Everyone here lives like this."

"I don't know what's going on," Wei Yuanye said, "I lose my appetite after coming back here."

Wei Yuanye asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Zhang Deng hasn't eaten yet.

It was lunchtime, and he looked at the takeout for a long time but didn't want to eat anything. Suddenly, he remembered the stir-fried beef made by Wei Yuanye, so he came here in a bad mood.

Wei Yuanye thought about it, searched in his cabinet for a long time, and found a bag of instant noodles for him, but the expiration date was 2017. Wei Yuanye said, "I don't think it's expired."

Zhang Deng: “?”

Wei Yuanye couldn't explain it clearly. He said, "I don't know when I put it in there. Maybe I bought it during the last mission, but I don't remember."

"We cleanse our memories after every mission," Wei Yuanye said calmly, looking at Zhang Deng, "to avoid emotional wear and tear."

Zhang Deng whispered, "Is that why you said... every mission is a first?"

Wei Yuanye remained silent and said, "So... that's how it is."

He remembered that when he first met the boy, he asked him to check Wei Yuanye's information. The boy said that Wei Yuanye had a very high score.

Zhang Deng said, "You've participated in many missions, right?"

"It should be," Wei Yuanye said, "This instant noodle should not have expired, it's new. My timeline is messed up. I can't tell many things about time apart."

Zhang Deng inexplicably felt that Wei Yuanye was also a little pitiful.

Wei Yuanye stood up and boiled some water for him. Zhang Deng then asked, "Do you have to boil water yourself in such an advanced place?"

"In such an advanced place, no one drinks hot water," Wei Yuanye said. "Drinking hot water is seen as a luxury, a slow-paced lifestyle activity. It requires fetching water, boiling it, and waiting for it to cool. It's not very efficient, so it's been eliminated."

He collected the drinking water into a cup-like container, placed it on a base on the table, pressed the switch, and the water quickly reached boiling point. Then he gave Zhang Dengbao a bowl of instant noodles.

Zhang Deng asked, "Are you busy?"

"It's usually like this," Wei Yuanye said, sitting on the other side of the table, looking at the lamp. "We are usually called worker bees. We work non-stop throughout our lives and rarely have time to rest."

Then Wei Yuanye's long break this time was probably because of me, Zhang Deng thought.

Wei Yuanye said, "I took cooking classes as part of my training for the support role, and I learned a lot more. That was also when I started learning about internet operations. I also learned a lot about wine, etiquette, makeup, photography, everything from ancient to modern, all in order to better integrate into your world."

Zhang Deng said, "Then your score must be very high."

Wei Yuanye said: "Basically all A's."

Zhang Deng guessed the same, because it can be seen that Wei Yuanye is a very strong-willed person, and he is far from being as casual as he appears.

Zhang Deng said, "I think you are very tired."

Wei Yuanye said: "Not tired."

But ever since he and Wei Yuanye reunited, he could no longer see the light in Wei Yuanye's eyes. Wei Yuanye thought about it and described his current feelings more accurately. He said, "Maybe I'm just confused."

Seeing that Zhang Deng didn't understand, he said, "Every time a mission is completed, the memory is cleared, and then that period of time becomes a blank."

Zhang Deng also fell silent. He quietly ate the bowl of instant noodles in front of him. Wei Yuanye looked at him and said, "I will do what I promised you."

He pulled out Zhang Deng's schoolbag from under the bed, unzipped it, and wrote a line of small words on the small packet of notes Zhang Deng had given him: "xc12, ye11, za13, Zhang Deng."

Wei Yuanye said, "I had planned that I would find this note someday and would come looking for you sooner or later."

Zhang Deng thought about it, found a pen, and wrote down his phone number. He said, "How can you find it if you only know the name?"

Wei Yuanye looked at the note for a while, then put it away and said, "Let's wait for the results."

Zhang Deng didn't know where fate would lead them, and both of them were silent.

After Zhang Deng finished his noodles, Wei Yuanye went to wash the dishes. He lay on Wei Yuanye's bed and smelled a scent that belonged to Wei Yuanye. Wei Yuanye didn't use any perfume, and he used whatever shampoo he had. Logically, he shouldn't have any smell on him, but when he got closer, Zhang Deng always felt that he had his own scent like the winter wind.

Zhang Deng was wrapped in the wind and fell into a deep sleep. When he woke up, he found himself lying on his workstation. The clock hand pointed to 2, and he was about to go to work.

World Tree.

Wei Yuanye sat in an office in the treetops three thousand stories above. The entire office was pure white and spotless. Wei Yuanye sat at his desk, waiting quietly.

"You made the target of the mission fall in love with you again?" A voice arrived before the person, and then the person walked out from the white wall. He was wearing a more advanced white uniform with several badges on his shoulders. He was about forty years old and had an intimidating air without even getting angry.

Wei Yuanye stood up, and after the man sat down, he sat down too.

The man glanced at Wei Yuanye with a scrutinizing gaze, then snorted and said, "Constant trouble."

Wei Yuanye said: "He is not in love with me."

"Everyone says so," the man said, "If it's not love, what is it? His mental breakdown point has shifted to you. You've caused such a big trouble."

Wei Yuanye did not refute again.

The man said, "Every time, 679, every mission you've taken over the past three hundred years, as long as it's consistent with your sexual orientation, the recipient will eventually fall in love with you. Haven't you considered your own problems?"

Wei Yuanye said: "I can't reflect on it."

After all, he has no memory.

The man was silent for a moment, then continued: "Can't you grasp the limit?"

Wei Yuanye said: "My behavior is completely in compliance with the law."

"Excuse," the man said. "Why don't other people make the same mistake all the time?"

Wei Yuanye didn't know whether he should try his best to complete the mission. He said, "Zhang Deng didn't fall in love with me. He has his own dignity and won't fall in love with someone who comes to rescue him. That's what he said himself."

"The fact is, he can't live without you anymore," the man said. "Do you remember what our supporter manual says?"

“Help recipients integrate into life, not separate from it.”

"If you just let him rely on you blindly, isn't this what will happen in the end?"

But did he really do that? Wei Yuanye thought carefully, did he really do everything for Zhang Deng?

It seemed like he did nothing. All the decisions were made by Zhang Deng himself, and all the problems were faced by Zhang Deng himself. He just supported him in doing these things without providing any practical help.

Wei Yuanye felt that what they said was wrong. These people actually knew nothing at all. They didn't understand the recipients, nor did they understand lighting.

Zhang Deng is not the type of person who would fall in love with someone who approaches him with such a strong purpose. He only treats him as a friend as he says.

These people really despised Zhang Deng, they thought he was such a weak person.
