Chapter 84
Zhou Yuli said so, but Pei Zhao was not convinced. It was obvious that they were on the same mission, so why didn't he hear Zhou Yuli say a word of difficulty?
Pei Zhao leaned over to take a look, and saw that the book Zhou Yuli was holding was filled with legal provisions from top to bottom.
Pei Zhao narrowed his eyes, identified two lines, took a deep breath, and gave up.
"...I don't really understand your pure literature subjects." Pei Zhao lay on the table.
"Yeah. I also think that pure liberal arts is a bit boring," Zhou Yuli said, "Business is more interesting."
Pei Zhao recalled the preparations Zhou Yuli had made for starting a business before he was about to drop out of school, and asked curiously, "How was your previous collaboration?"
Zhou Yuli smiled: "You still remember."
Pei Zhao felt a little guilty, he just remembered it.
"It's progressing normally. The investor... is quite interested in the project and approved an extra sum of money for me, which I used to hire a product manager."
"You're awesome, classmate Zhou." Pei Zhao noticed that Zhou Yuli hadn't called him much recently, and thought that he had gotten over the excitement. It turned out that he had already moved on to the next step.
Pei Zhao nestled in Zhou Yuli's arms: "Looks like I'll have to rely on you to support me in the future."
Zhou Yuli smiled: "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of you."
Although they played around a lot, Pei Zhao didn't really expect Zhou Yuli to support him. After all, he was admitted to Huazhong University with his raw scores. Pei Zhao was also a top student in high school. He had first-rate independent learning ability and self-control, and he only showed weakness in front of Zhou Yuli.
It was just because the task delayed some classes. That night, Pei Zhao quickly read the book and learned almost everything.
The next day, Pei Zhao, who had only slept for four or five hours, was pulled out of bed by Zhou Yuli.
"Baby, you have an exam today. Go back and finish it first, then come back and sleep, okay?"
"...Who is the good person to schedule the exam at 8 a.m.? Have they ever considered the feelings of the candidates who have to prepare for the exam all night?" Pei Zhao couldn't even open his eyes. After dragging his body to wash up, he took the schoolbag that Zhou Yuli had packed for him. Zhou Yuli sent him to the examination room.
"You have an exam too, right?" On the way, Pei Zhao became a little more sober and asked Zhou Yuli.
Zhou Yuli nodded: "Well, the test is at ten o'clock. I'll take you in and prepare for a while. Then I'll go and wait. When you finish the test, go back to the store or the dormitory and send me a message. I'll pick you up after the test and take you to lunch."
Pei Zhao nodded: "Let's buy some more and eat them back in the store. Lan Ji and the others should have been out late last night. Let's take some back and eat with them."
Zhou Yuli agreed, and when he saw the examination room, Pei Zhao stretched out his hand and waved at Zhou Yuli: "Then I'll go in."
"good."
Until Pei Zhao's figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs, Zhou Yuli could no longer see him. Only then did he look away.
"Hello? Yes, I'm at school." He took out his cell phone and dialed an unknown number. After listening to what was said on the other end of the phone, he frowned and walked towards the school gate.
As soon as Pei Zhao sat in the examination room, he felt as if he had eaten two kilograms of lemons and all his sleepiness was gone.
Pei Zhao quickly went over the knowledge framework of the book he had read last night in his mind and was doing a final review in his mind.
Suddenly, there was a murmur of discussion.
"I heard that a beautiful COSHER appeared on the playground yesterday. Her figure was so attractive."
"I heard that my roommate was there and said the makeup was so natural and so exquisite that it looked like the original!"
"How else could she be on the school forum? But I heard she's very cool. When someone asked her for her WeChat, she ignored them."
"If I looked like her, I would be crazier than her."
Pei Zhao was forced to listen and thought, isn’t he just a good-looking COSER? It's unexpected that people would talk about it to this extent in school. But it had nothing to do with them, so Pei Zhao didn't take it to heart.
Soon, the papers were handed out and Pei Zhao raised his eyebrows.
This is a very basic test paper. Perhaps to take into account the freshmen's lack of adaptation to school life, the test paper is not difficult. Pei Zhao glanced through it roughly and started answering the questions with full confidence.
Not long after, Pei Zhao put pen to paper and wrote down the scoring points for several questions. He looked up at the clock and found that only half an hour had passed.
The school requires that the exam paper can be submitted early only after 45 minutes, so Pei Zhao began to develop detailed arguments under the scoring points.
Although these arguments will not be counted as scores on the basic test paper, some responsible teachers will be able to see a student's ability to master knowledge through the look of these arguments, and thus have a good impression of the student.
Many people who are popular with teachers will choose to do this during exams to win their favor.
But Pei Zhao was obviously not among them. They rarely attended classes, and even if he wrote beautifully, the teacher could not change the deadly impression of him as a "habitual truant". Pei Zhao just wanted to find something to pass the time.
But he hadn't been writing for long when he suddenly heard a voice calling him -
It didn't come from his mind, but it was in his ears.
It's far away, but the sound is clear.
The voice said: "Host, host, host..."
Pei Zhao's pen stopped unconsciously, and the argument he had written halfway stopped.
Pei Zhao was stunned and looked around sharply.
…Everyone was either scratching their heads or writing furiously; no one looked up, and no one spoke.
The terrible thing is, the sound is still there!
"Host, can you hear me?"
Pei Zhao almost suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
He subconsciously looked towards the front and back doors, where there was an invigilator each, calmly surveying the examination room.
Obviously the sound wasn't made by them.
"Host, I'm in your dormitory, waiting for you..."
The voice uttered these words at last and was never heard again. Pei Zhao no longer had the heart to answer the questions.
Host?
dormitory?
That voice...is it Xiaorui?
Pei Zhao took a deep breath and forced himself to stay rational and continue writing his argument.
The pen tip tapped the next line twice, but he couldn't write any further.
How did Xiaorui come to the real world? Isn't she a virtual system?
After waiting for forty-five minutes, the invigilator just said, "There is still one hour and fifteen minutes left in the exam. You can hand in your paper now..." Pei Zhao grabbed the paper on the table and handed it over.
The invigilators are mostly graduate students under the teaching staff, and are senior students in the same major.
I took a casual glance at Pei Zhao's paper and was surprised. The student looked unfamiliar. He had not seen him in the few times he substituted for the teacher. He thought he was a student who was usually unlearned, but he did not expect that he answered the questions so well.
I took a look at the name: Pei Zhao.
Oh, it was the first major when I registered for admission.
That's not surprising.
Pei Zhao almost ran back to the dormitory. The voice did not sound again. While running, Pei Zhao sent a voice message to Zhou Yuli, briefly explaining the situation and then added.
"Finish the test first."
Pei Zhao stood at the dormitory door panting, looking at it nervously.
...Should I push it away?
Pei Zhao tried his best to calm his heartbeat, and for a moment he didn't know why he was so excited.
He always felt that the door he was about to open would lead him to open the door to a new world, just like the day Zhou Yuli pulled down from the rooftop and prepared to commit suicide.
Pei Zhao's hand was on the door handle——
At this moment, he felt the world shake.
It was not an earthquake, but a ripple in the surrounding air. Although it was small, Pei Zhao caught it.
In the moment of distraction, the handle had already been twisted.
The dormitory was pitch black—not the kind of black that comes with the curtains drawn, but real black.
But in the darkness, Pei Zhao saw the stars again. Tiny, twinkling.
Pei Zhao subconsciously locked the door.
Leaning against the door, standing still.
He was afraid that someone would rush in, and he was also afraid that he would not be able to get out.
At first there were only one or two, and gradually the sky was filled with stars.
Flowing like the stars in the sky.
And in that galaxy, a person walked out——
Pei Zhao suddenly thought of the COSER that people in the examination room were talking about.
This is a girl with a loli figure and a face as standard as a model. But - the only special thing is that what she was wearing was clothes connected by many thin tubes.
That was not some cosplay. Pei Zhao saw that there were light strips of different colors flowing quickly in each pipe.
The girl said: "Host."
Unlike the sounds that usually explode directly in your head, the sounds that travel through the air do not have such a strong mechanical feel.
Pei Zhao was stunned and guessed the girl's identity.
"Xiaorui?"
Xiao Rui, the system that he couldn't call upon in the other world actually appeared in the real world?
"What's going on?" Pei Zhao frowned, "Why are you here?"
"The political struggle in the main world has begun." Xiao Rui's beautiful mechanical eyes stared at Pei Zhao, and many data flashed rapidly in his eyes. "Host, if you cannot inherit civilization, all worlds will be destroyed in an instant when power is handed over."
"What, what?" Pei Zhao was confused. "What political struggle, what inheritance of civilization, what handover of power?"
Could it be that this world is a huge palace drama?
Xiao Rui raised his robot arm and shook it: "Host, Xiao Rui will open the notification permission for you."
"No..." Pei Zhao felt a wave in his brain before he finished speaking. Countless data and knowledge wrapped in a long stream of data poured into his mind in an instant.
They quickly found their place in Pei Zhao's brain, classifying and categorizing them.
And at this moment, Pei Zhao seemed to have a sea of consciousness. Vast, boundless. Countless files are floating above the sea of consciousness.
Pei Zhao just had a thought, and a folder with "political struggle" written on it flew in front of him.
Pei Zhao was stunned, raised his finger, and gently touched the folder——
In an instant, the documents turned into countless spots of light and spread out before Pei Zhao's eyes.
"The political struggle in the main world comes from the two giants in the universe? They inherited the will of the universe, but they both want to be the one and only, so they started fighting openly and secretly."
Pei Zhao broke free from the sea of consciousness and opened his eyes in reality. "So, all our worlds are just like cities. The so-called political struggles are similar to those in our world, but the dimension is higher?"
Xiao Rui nodded: "But host, the political struggle in the main world is out of control. We hope you can help."
Pei Zhao was stunned: "You guys?"
"We, the systems of the time-space travel group." Xiao Rui said.
Pei Zhao asked: "Is Sudi's system also within the period?"
A lot of data flashed through Xiaorui's eyes again.
"Yes, host. The puppeteer has been detected: Sudi, a member of this time-travel team."
Pei Zhao held his forehead: "Okay, I understand, what do you need me to do?"
Xiao Rui didn't say anything. Just when Pei Zhao thought that Xiao Rui's system had failed, a familiar mechanical voice came from his mind: "The war between humans will not harm ants; the struggle between gods will not harm humans. Host, the struggle between advanced civilizations will not affect the existence of the ordinary world. Please participate with caution."
