"Are you okay?" the girl in front of her asked anxiously, bending down to check her face.

Cai Lu avoided the other person's hand, slowly raised his head, and saw the other person's face clearly. It was the staff member who had just stopped him. Judging from her attire, she was probably off work.

"I'm fine." Lu Cai waved his hand, his tone relaxed. "It's just an old problem."

Yes, she vomits blood. She vomits blood often.

The girl couldn't see her expression, nor could she tell whether what she said was true or false, so she took out a handkerchief and handed it to her.

"Where do you live? Can I take you home?" The girl looked worried.

Lu Cai took a deep breath and took the handkerchief from the other party. "Even in the community, you are too trusting of strangers, aren't you?"

The other person was stunned for a moment, then laughed. "In KB games, the best players wouldn't try to scam a small player like me. It's boring. Those who try to scam others are just low-level people. I can handle it myself."

Cai Lu wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. The light pink handkerchief was stained with bright red blood.

"Thank you for the handkerchief." Lu Cai was a little embarrassed and pinched the handkerchief. "Let's add each other as friends. I'll buy you a new one later..."

The other person laughed and said, "This is just an ordinary handkerchief, not worth much. Don't even mention not returning it—" Even as he said that, he still held out his left hand. "But I'm open to being friends. My name is Yang Zigui."

The two added each other as friends, and the girl sat down next to Lu Cai without any hesitation.

"I'm not suited to work at all..." Yang Zigui said, seeming a little sad. "I don't want to work so hard in the dungeon anymore, so I plan to find a job in the community sector, buy a house and settle down, and then slowly save up the insurance time... But I found that the customers here are no more likable than the dungeon boss."

This girl probably just started experiencing office life, so she is not used to it.

Lu Cai just listened quietly, calming the surging supernatural energy in his body while acting as a qualified listener, intending to take in the other person's emotional garbage as a thank you for her handkerchief.

"What were you doing before you came in?" the other party suddenly asked.

Cai Lu hesitated for a moment: "Supermarket cashier."

"Really?" Yang Zigui seemed very excited, his eyes shining as he looked at her, "Then you are really amazing—"

Lu Cai didn't expect her to react so strongly, and instead felt a little embarrassed: "It's just a payment."

Yang Zigui shook his head. "The customers in the supermarket are even more unreasonable than the players in the real estate agency. The salespersons are clearly in the service industry, but they have to bow and scrape like grandsons. When they encounter unreasonable customers, they can't refute them..."

"I can see that you have a lot of complaints about your job." Cai Lu smiled.

"I plan to resign, and then go to the dungeon to earn more points." Yang Zigui sighed, his tone full of fatigue.

Lu Cai neither agreed nor opposed the persuasion. Not to mention that the two were not familiar with each other, even if they were acquaintances, he could not interfere too much in other people's decisions.

Because they already have the answers in their hearts, even if they ask out loud, they are just seeking peace of mind.

The two of them sat quietly for a while. Yang Zigui turned his head and looked at Lu Cai: "Are you really okay?"

Lu Cai shook his head: "It's okay, you can go home first."

Yang Zigui smiled and said, "Then be careful. If there's a chance in the future, we can go to the dungeon together."

"Okay." Lu Cai responded softly, then the girl next to him stood up, said goodbye to her, and walked away slowly alone.

Lu Cai rested for a while, then slowly stood up and left.

——

13th floor, main control room.

The room was completely silent. The orange ball of light was floating obediently on the platform, not daring to lose its temper. The man in a suit on the side also had a tense expression, with a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

"You really need to upgrade." A cold male voice sounded in the room, "111, haven't you checked it out?"

The man in the suit quickly replied: "It's my fault!"

The man's voice remained calm: "You've been making mistakes a lot lately."

This is not a question, nor is it an explanation given to them, it is just a statement of fact.

"If it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't have known the main control room's system protection was so weak." The man spoke slowly, "Or do you think that no one dares to cause trouble on the 13th floor?"

"This BUG program was caused by 666--" The ball of light trembled slightly. What she could not accept the most was the denial of her ability.

The gentleman never liked her.

The man sneered, "If you hadn't taken the initiative, would 666 have left?"

Guang Tuan was unconvinced: "He already had ulterior motives. If he stays on the 13th floor, I'm afraid he'll steal even more information!"

"Why doesn't he obey you?" the man interrupted her coldly, "Because you are not qualified."

The main system tried not to get angry, but the words "You're not qualified" kept echoing in her ears. She still remembered how she stood out among the many experimental subjects and was eventually selected by the master, brought into the KB game, and after being compatible with the game data, she became the "mastermind" here.

At that time, the first batch of security systems had been completed, and they accepted Mr.'s instructions to establish a hub with the main system.

It was in this office that there was a group of people, all wearing black clothes and black shoes, and wearing black cloaks that dragged on the ground. However, they were of different heights, weights, and sizes, and from the chins under the hoods, one could tell that each person looked different.

She was happy at that time. All these security systems had to obey her instructions. She was selected from many experimental subjects and became the ruler here.

Humans have a saying—

Second to none, above ten thousand men.

This is the meaning of her existence.

But she didn't expect that she would encounter obstacles when she became the first one to receive the command from the main system.

She selected 666 as the first safety system, but 666 did not respond.

After data feedback, she learned that 666's voice system was damaged, but all combat indicators were optimal, and the loyalty index even exceeded the preset value.

Even though there were some minor flaws that made her feel a little regretful, she was still willing to make him the security system closest to her, so she did not change this decision.

The problem was not discovered until the gentleman entered the program.

666 refused to be bound to her. Whenever data was entered, 666's data would subconsciously destroy the entry program, just like he cleared the virus data in the game world.

She suffered a great humiliation and was destroyed by a security system, thinking it was a despicable virus program.

That was also the beginning of her husband's doubts about her, although not long after, her husband's test results showed that 666 had a program error and was a defective product.

He is just a defective product, the main system comforts itself in this way.

But the master still didn't destroy it! This made her very uneasy and very angry.

Now, he has allowed himself to be questioned by the gentleman again!

As she thought about it, she became more and more annoyed. It was just a defective product—

"Master, your emotional state fluctuates greatly. Do you want to activate the soothing mechanism?" 111's calm voice sounded in her ears, and her irritable mood immediately calmed down.

"Is she like this often?" The gentleman asked indifferently, as if he was commenting on an insignificant exhibit.

111 said respectfully, "It happens occasionally, but not often."

The main system couldn't help but feel guilty. It was another unsatisfactory statistic - the emotional data fluctuated too much.

She knew her recent condition, and if she reported it truthfully to 111, her husband would probably replace her.

There is no suitable experimental subject yet, and thinking this way makes her feel more at ease.

——

Returning to "No. 12" on the 6th floor, as soon as he pushed the door open, Cai Lu saw 666 sitting on the inside of the counter, staring blankly at the store door.

The hood on his head was pulled down, and his hair was a little messy, but he was unaware of it. His red eyes were full of confusion until he saw the black cloak pushing the door open.

Those dull eyes suddenly became bright, and a gentle emotion passed through them, as if a rigid stone sculpture suddenly came alive.

It was like the finishing touch to a painting, so lively that even Lu Cai was dazzled.

Was he this emotional before?

Confused, Lu Cai simply paused for a moment, then walked in with a surly expression.

"Why did he ask you to watch the store?" Cai Lu walked to the counter and saw many small gadgets on the table.

"Don't spit blood!" Jiang Yan came out of the studio and heard her say this. He couldn't help but retort, "The shop door says closed! I just saw that he was bored, so I took some props for him to play with."

At this moment, Jiang Yan was holding the ring-handled sword in his hand. He had examined it carefully. It was indeed a good weapon, but it was too murderous, and it felt particularly heavy in his hand. He only briefly tested it, leaving some test results, and did not dare to do any more stimulating experiments.

He held the knife and handed it back to 666. "This knife is indeed a top-notch one. I've only briefly examined it and haven't dared to delve into it." Jiang Yan then turned to Lu Cai and said, "Your bandage seems to have been upgraded. Would you like me to take a look at it?"

Lu Cai laughed: "Help me take a look? How dare you say that." Having said that, she finally took off the bandage and handed it to him.

Jiang Yan was overjoyed and turned around to go into the studio at the back holding the bandage.

Cai Lu walked around the counter and looked at the little gadgets on the table. There were a few red ropes, two red jades, and even a red eraser and a red rose that was about to bloom. On the other side were a mess of small things of other colors.

It can be seen that these red props are carefully placed.

She raised her eyebrows: "You really like red--"

666 didn't respond, so he picked up a thick red rope and handed it to her.

Lu Cai looked at the rope, then at him, then raised his hand to take it: "What is this?"

She looked at it carefully and saw that it was a red rope used to make auspicious knots. It could also be used to string peach pits and copper coins. Even if nothing was hung on it, two ropes stacked together could make a blessing bracelet.

He held it in his hand and looked at it, then used his supernatural power to probe into it, but found nothing unusual, it was just an ordinary rope.

666 pointed to the pages of the book spread out on the table. Lu Cai leaned over to take a look and saw that it was a magazine that described various prayer props.

His slender white hands were fixed on a lotus knot.

Lu Cai glanced at it for a moment, then calmly withdrew his gaze: "Fujie values ​​the sincerity of the blessing, let's not do those fancy things—"

That lotus knot is a bit too complicated. He doesn't want her to make one for him, does he?
