Chapter 167 Chapter 167 [001 Recovery]
Lin Yimu stayed at home until the end of August, and less than a week before school started, he packed up and returned to school.
As soon as they arrived at Beijing Airport, He Xiuji, who received the news, drove over to pick them up.
After getting in the car, Lin Yimu was about to ask He Xiuji to take him back to school, but just as he said that, He Xiuji asked in a pitiful tone: "Xiaomu, don't you miss me after not seeing each other for so long? Why do you want to go back to school as soon as you get here?"
Seeing He Xiuji's pitiful expression and tone, Lin Yimu touched his forehead helplessly and said, "This expression really doesn't suit you at all. I went back to school because a lot of my things are still in the school dormitory."
"Is that so? Then after you get your things, do you want to come back and live with me? After all, we've already met each other's parents, and we're going to be fiancée, right?" He Xiuji asked Lin Yimu with anticipation on his face.
Lin Yimu glanced at him sideways, "Is this your ultimate goal? If you want me to live with you, just tell me directly. You are really not suitable to act pitiful."
He Xiuji was not embarrassed at all when he heard this. Instead, he smiled gently and dotingly and asked, "Then, Xiaomu, are you willing?"
Lin Yimu thought for a while after hearing this, and thought that he had already learned the theoretical knowledge at this stage, and it would be a waste of time to follow the routine to advance to the sophomore year. Should he put his plan of graduating early on the agenda?
With this in mind, Lin Yimu nodded and agreed to move in with He Xiuji. After all, he could apply for off-campus accommodation in his sophomore year, and he could move out after he and his counselor completed the application. However, Lin Yimu was more or less reluctant to separate from his roommates.
He Xiuji was very happy after getting Lin Yimu's consent. Even if he had to wait for a while before moving out, it was a good thing as long as he agreed.
The car drove all the way to the gate of Beijing University. Before Lin Yimu got out of the car with his luggage, he gave He Xiuji a hug and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Just wait for me for a few more days. I'm leaving now."
He Xiuji stretched out his hands and hugged the person tightly in his arms, humming in a muffled voice. He held him for a long time before reluctantly letting go and watching Lin Yimu walk into the school gate.
Lin Yi Mu carried his suitcase all the way to the dormitory. Since there were only a few days left before school started, the doors of the dormitories were already open. Lin Yi Mu took out his key and opened the door of his dormitory. After packing his luggage, Lin Yi Mu became busy again.
Before, Lin Yimu stayed at home, absorbing knowledge while calculating the drug research in the research system tasks. Now that he is at school, Lin Yimu has sorted out everything that needs to be sorted out and continued to immerse himself in research.
When Lin Yimu looked up from his calculations again, it was already time for dinner and his cell phone had already rung several times, with the call coming in again this time.
When Lin Yimu picked up the phone, he heard He Xiuji say, "Xiaomu, are you done with your work? It's time for dinner now."
Hearing this, Lin Yi Mu showed a gentle smile on his face and said with great joy in his heart: "I know, I'm done. My dear Mr. He, you have worked so hard, worrying about my diet after a busy day at work. Don't forget to eat on time, and remember to eat something to fill your stomach before socializing." After responding to He Xiuji's instructions, Lin Yi Mu couldn't help but speak.
"Got it. Don't worry. My secretary will remind me on time. But I'm worried about you since there's no one watching you." He Xiuji said with a smile.
Lin Yimu showed a trace of guilt when he heard this. He knew that he seemed to be less reliable than He Xiuji, but he was also very helpless. As long as he immersed himself in the experimental calculations, he would easily forget himself.
Thinking of this, Lin Yimu coughed lightly and said guiltily, "Well, I will pay attention to time in the future and set an alarm for myself for three meals a day, okay? If you are worried, you can check at any time."
Hearing Lin Yimu's somewhat guilty words, He Xiuji chuckled and said, "Okay, I believe Xiaomu will not break his promise. Don't forget to go to dinner later. I've been busy these days, and I'll pick you up when I'm free."
Thinking that they would soon be able to live together, He Xiuji was in a very happy mood, and the cold and serious expression on his face that was usually in the company became very soft and gentle.
"Well, I will also process the application for off-campus accommodation as soon as possible after school starts."
Lin Yimu responded softly, and then the two chatted for a while about the engagement party. He Xiuji was urged by his secretary to attend a social event, so he hung up the phone.
Putting away his phone, Lin Yimu looked at the draft papers covering his desk, sighed helplessly and put them away. There was still no progress, so he decided to go eat first and talk about it later.
However, what made Lin Yi Mu a little strange was that in the past six months or so, the system had not appeared since the last time a task was issued. Sometimes when he checked his brain area, he only saw the spherical system floating there motionlessly. Even after Lin Yi Mu completed the two tasks within six months, there was no movement, which made Lin Yi Mu very worried.
So after finishing his meal and returning to the dormitory, Lin Yimu once again checked the silent System 001 in his brain, and couldn't help but reach out and poke it gently.
With this gentle poke, 001, who had been motionless, suddenly transformed into the virtual image of the three-headed doll when they first met. The moment he saw Lin Yimu, he jumped into his arms and shouted happily: "Host, we meet again!"
Seeing 001 restored to his doll state, Lin Yimu's worry finally eased and he was very happy. He reached out to hold 001 hanging around his neck and said, "001, are you restored? You didn't make any movement before, I thought something happened to you."
At this point, Lin Yimu suddenly remembered what 001 said before that there might be no way to recover. He stared at it solemnly and asked, "Didn't you say before that the punishment given to you by the main system was that you could not recover to your current state? How come you can recover now? Is the main system going to do something bad again?"
Don't blame Lin Yimu for thinking this way. After all, the main system is useless every time it comes out. The tasks it issues to him are getting more and more abnormal, and its attitude towards 001 is also very cold. How could Lin Yimu possibly think positively of the main system?
001 heard Lin Yimu's concern for it. Although it was just an auxiliary system formed by data, it seemed to have gradually developed human emotions because of its long-term interactions with humans. So at this moment, it felt that its core data was a little hot, making it feel warm.
"Don't worry, host. I was able to recover this time because you completed the first two half-year tasks issued by the main system. The energy of these two tasks was allocated to me by the main system to help me restore my image. That's why your task rewards were combined. Originally, half of the rewards would be given out if you completed the two half-year tasks in the main task and the side task. So, I'm sorry, host." 001 whispered with some guilt and embarrassment.
After listening to 001's explanation, Lin Yimu nodded thoughtfully, but the doubts in his heart did not decrease at all, so he asked: "Can I ask, what made the main system change its mind and let you restore your current image?"
001 hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and then thought about it. It seemed like there was nothing he couldn't say, so he said, "The reason is actually very simple. The main system saw your progress and the progress of your mission, and thought that you might be able to leave the Earth in a few years, so it went into deep hibernation to replenish energy not long ago. Since the next mission release can only rely on me, so I was allowed to restore my virtual image so that I wouldn't fall into hibernation from time to time due to lack of energy and delay things."
Lin Yimu nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, and complained in his heart, no wonder they were willing to let 001 restore its energy. It turned out to be because the main system wanted to accumulate energy and leave the earth as soon as possible. It couldn't be so kind.
However, when he thought that 001 might leave in a few years, Lin Yimu's mood was inevitably affected and he was not in a very good mood.
But even though he was not in a good mood, Lin Yi Mu was still happy about 001's recovery. Recently, 001 had fallen into a deep sleep and could not respond to him, which made Lin Yi Mu really uncomfortable.
Lin Yi Mu and 001 chatted about each other's recent situation in the brain area. Of course, Lin Yi Mu talked more about his own situation. When 001 heard that Lin Yi Mu was a little confused about his current system task and even the information in the interstellar library could not help him for the time being, so his research had come to a standstill, it could only comfort Lin Yi Mu softly and ask him to relax. As an auxiliary system, it could not help with anything else.
However, 001 was aware of Lin Yimu's current knowledge. The knowledge he possessed was only the knowledge on Earth at this stage. Based on the current level of development of medicine and knowledge on Earth, there was no way to research drugs that could completely eliminate cancer cells. He was now destined to gain nothing.
The reason why the main system gave the host a three-year mission deadline was to allow him to learn higher-level knowledge during this period. This was also one of the reasons why the main system allowed him to recover.
001 explained all of this to Lin Yimu, and then said: "So host, you may still need to continue learning. I will instill higher-level cutting-edge knowledge into your mind, and the rest is up to you to digest."
Speaking of this, 001 seemed to have finally had enough of Lin Yimu's arms. He jumped down and waved his hand. A system panel that had not appeared for half a year appeared in front of Lin Yimu. The latest news on it showed that a progress bar appeared behind the main and side quests released by the main system half a year ago. The progress on it only showed 40% because he had completed the tasks of the first two half years.
Lin Yimu looked at the system panel that suddenly changed, and looked at 001 with some confusion, "001, what's going on? I remember there was no progress bar on it before."
001: "Host, this progress bar is your task completion progress. Since you have only completed two half-year tasks, the progress bar is only 40%. However, as long as the task progress advances by another 10%, once it reaches 50%, the host will be awarded a half-task reward, so host, you have to work hard!"
001 said this while clenching his two small chubby fists tightly to cheer Lin Yimu on.
Lin Yi Mu nodded when he heard that, "I understand. I will continue to study hard and will not let you down. Let's work hard together!" Lin Yi Mu said as he stretched out his hand and clapped his hands with 001's chubby little paws.
