Chapter 176
"Why can't I see it?" Tang Yu'an asked curiously, "This folder clearly says study materials."
Zhou Qi was speechless.
Although the folder says it is study material, the videos inside are nothing like that!
He hesitated, his ears gradually flushed, and finally he could only say: "This is for adults to see, we can't see it at this stage."
In fact, Zhou Qi was not sure whether adults could watch it. As far as he knew, this kind of film was banned.
Tang Yu'an looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Can't you watch it too?"
Zhou Qi paused, then nodded.
He was actually a little curious, but since he had told An An this, he naturally had to set an example and not watch secretly behind his back.
Tang Yu'an grumbled unhappily, but still accepted the statement.
"Oh well……"
He also believed Zhou Qi. He said he wouldn't watch it, so he really wouldn't watch it. It's just...
"I feel like I'm at a loss. I'm younger than you, but I have to wait two years and eleven months before I can see it!" He muttered, looking very dissatisfied.
Zhou Qi was just thinking about how to comfort him when he heard the young man's eyes suddenly light up and he said excitedly:
"Brother Xiaoqi, you said that the speed of time in this plane and the alternate plane is different. If you stay in this plane, I will go to the alternate plane and come back in three years..."
Tang Yu'an's eyes sparkled, "Then are we the same age?"
That's not wrong, but...
Zhou Qi pursed his lips. He looked at Tang Yu'an and whispered, "Are you... willing to leave me for so long?"
He stared at the boy with such intense eyes.
In fact, Zhou Qi rarely thought about that unexpected "kiss". After all, to Tang Yu'an, it was just a first aid.
They had done more intimate things than this when they were children, so why did things become different when they grew up?
Zhou Qi would occasionally think about this question.
Every time this happened, the image of Tang Yu'an rushing towards him when he was on the verge of death would appear in his mind.
In fact, after his grandmother left him, he felt very confused for a while, and he wandered in the world like a lonely ghost.
He knew clearly that there would never be another person in this world who would treat him as wholeheartedly as his grandmother...
However, Tang Yu'an used his actions to tell him that this was not the case.
He would feel shy because of that "kiss" and thus realize his feelings, but what really made this relationship different was An An's determination.
It was his determination to find a way to get to him, capture him, and keep him, regardless of the danger.
How could a teenager who had just entered puberty and had no experience not be moved by the way this person, with whom he already had a good impression, treated him?
However, facing Zhou Qi, who was young and naive in love, he didn't know how to deal with this deteriorating feeling.
He knew that Tang Yu'an actually only regarded him as a relative and a brother.
So he chose to bury this feeling carefully. Anyway, for him, as long as An An was still with him and An An still needed him, that was enough.
Now, hearing Tang Yu'an say that he would be away from him for such a long time, his heartstrings were suddenly touched.
The speed of time flowed at a different rate, but those three years were real three years, just like they had all changed a lot in the past seven months.
He really couldn't stand the three-year blank in Tang Yu'an's life.
Facing Zhou Qi's somewhat aggrieved and pitiful look, Tang Yu'an couldn't help but be stunned. He rarely saw this side of Brother Xiaoqi.
He thought about what Zhou Qi said, then lowered his head and said with some frustration: "Okay, I can't bear to part with it."
He doesn't want to be separated from Brother Xiaoqi for even a single day.
And it feels scary to think about staying alone in that alien dimension for three years. He will definitely go crazy after just a few days!
Hearing this, Zhou Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Just let it happen naturally. You know the story of forcing things to grow faster, right?"
He touched Tang Yu'an's head and persuaded her, "My height will soon stagnate, and you still have several years of growth to go. You will definitely catch up with me."
He knew that the reason An An always wanted to grow up was because he was growing too fast and An An wanted to catch up with him.
Tang Yu'an hummed gloomily, then slumped down on the sofa, but soon he sat up again.
He rubbed against Zhou Qi, hugged his arm, and said: "I won't go to the other dimension alone, but you have to agree to one condition of mine!"
"What?" Zhou Qi looked down at him.
Of course he wouldn't refuse him if it wasn't too outrageous.
Then, he heard the boy say, "Those study materials are only for adults. You have to wait until I grow up, and then we can read them together!"
The boy seemed to think he had come up with a brilliant idea, and his little tail was about to rise to the sky.
Zhou Qi: ...
Zhou Qi: …………(//o////o//)
He turned his face away and stammered, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Tang Yu paused and asked, "Will there be any problems if I don't look at these study materials for the time being?"
“I don’t think so…”
"Then we'll watch it together later!"
Tang Yu'an hugged his arm and said coquettishly, "Brother Xiaoqi, you absolutely cannot peek behind my back!"
Zhou Qi coughed lightly, "Well, okay..."
Then he couldn't stand the embarrassment anymore and changed the subject: "Go take a shower and retrieve the message in the bottle later."
"Okay!" Tang Yu'an went to take a shower obediently.
During the seven months in the alien dimension, he could only use purification to clean his body every day. It was clean, but he felt weird not taking a shower for such a long time.
Now that I’m finally back and have plenty of points, of course I have to enjoy the joy of taking a shower!
Tang Yu'an ran to the bathroom, and Zhou Qi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He opened his computer again and looked at the folder labeled "Study Materials." He quickly locked it to prevent it from being opened accidentally. As for the other videos...
The owner of the USB drive added introductions and reviews to the movie information. The movies outside that folder all looked quite innocent.
But what if there are some that slip through the net?
After careful consideration, Zhou Qi tentatively asked the optical computer if it could categorize these videos.
"Categorizing based on film notes and content... Categorization complete, please check!"
Fortunately, this optical computer is very powerful. It can not only organize the note information, but also analyze and summarize based on the content of the film.
The last list appeared in front of Zhou Qi.
He checked the list and put the bloody, violent, horror and thriller films into a folder. As for the pornographic ones... ahem, they were all in the "study materials" folder.
Regarding this point, the owner of the USB flash drive is quite detailed.
Afterwards, Zhou Qi picked out fairy tales and comedy films that focused on family and friendship, and put them all in a folder, naming it "Communication Room."
Yes, he thought these films were suitable for playing in the communication room.
The residents lack entertainment activities, and even bicycles can make them so excited. These videos will definitely attract them.
The more they invest themselves in the film, the more they will be influenced by it and the more they will accept the values conveyed by the film.
This is very helpful in cultivating the residents' moral ideas and concepts, or at least in allowing them to rebuild their longing for family.
Then, Zhou Qi took out the super printing machine and started making the marriage certificate.
Now that they have optical computers that can take photos, they bought a printer and placed it in their home in Huangcheng, and then printed out the photos and pasted them on the marriage certificate.
This will not only maximize the sense of ceremony, but also prevent future welfare policies from allowing others to use someone else's marriage certificate to impersonate others.
However, Zhou Qi plans to change the name of this certificate to "family book", which is similar to the household registration book.
After all, they issue this certificate mainly to encourage the formation of families. Even if they are not husband and wife, they can still be a family.
For example, Grandma and Kang Kang, tree roots and fireballs, stones and grass, they are all relatives and can also have a family book.
When more family members are added in the future, you can also add them to the notebook.
As for things like marriage certificates and birth certificates, they will be improved after the home is truly developed. For now, they can only implement useful systems first.
When Tang Yu'an came out of the shower, Zhou Qi told him his thoughts.
"That's great!" Tang Yu'an nodded repeatedly, "This way, many people can apply, and we can establish many families at once."
As he spoke, he opened the Planar Shop and began browsing the printer's window.
Of course, Tang Yu'an didn't buy it immediately, but collected it first, waiting for the seven-day sale to refresh tomorrow.
It was just one night, and Zhou Qi let him go.
Anyway, based on past experience, the seven-day sale is very likely to be refreshed :)
When Zhou Qi came out of the shower, he saw that Tang Yu'an had bought another medium-grade Spirit Gathering Grass, still for 100 points.
"Let's put this one in another dimension!" Tang Yu'an said.
The concentration of spiritual energy in the other dimension is high, and they live next to the forest, so perhaps the spirit-gathering grass can grow better, and it would be even better if it could bloom and bear fruit.
In this way, they can cultivate spirit gathering grass by themselves in the future!
After storing the spirit-gathering grass in their personal storage, they climbed up to the attic to retrieve the message in the bottle.
The message in the bottle is emptied every day, and today we can only retrieve it three times.
Tang Yu'an reached out to the pile of brightly shining bottles. The first bottle was the small sea blue one.
In the attic, the voice of a little girl was heard after a long absence.
"Great and benevolent mysterious merchant, why haven't you appeared for so long? If I did something wrong, please give me some instructions..."
Tang Yu'an scratched his head, feeling like he didn't know how to respond.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'm here."
"Mysterious businessman! You finally show up again!" Xiao Hailan was so happy that there was a tearful tone in her voice.
"Why did you disappear for so long? Did I do something wrong?"
"No, you didn't do anything wrong." Tang Yu'an quickly denied it.
Then he said, "It's just that your father has become my employee, and you don't need my help that much anymore, so I won't appear in your dreams so often anymore."
This is indeed true. After all, there are only three catches a day. Even if they were not delayed because of going out, they would need to use the time to catch other drift bottles.
Among the current dream wishers, Gan Lin is probably the one who needs special attention, right?
"So that's how it is."
Xiao Hailan was obviously relieved, and then she asked, "Dad said that you want to help more people in need, right?"
"Well, you could say that."
"Then I understand. You are truly kind and great! I hope more people can be as lucky as I am to receive your help. I will pray for you every day, and I hope you can come and see me when you are free."
Tang Yu'an agreed without hesitation and then asked about her and Hai Jing's recent situation.
Haijing’s family must have at least three or four thousand kilograms of sea salt in stock now, right?
"We built a big two-story house. Dad put all the things on the first floor and even dug a hole..."
With a plan, things won’t be scattered everywhere like before, leaving people with nowhere to put their feet.
During this week, everything in Guanyu Village was peaceful. Since Haijing started selling brown rice, the villagers went out to sea less frequently and no one had died so far.
"Dad said that once he gets his salary, he'll have more points to exchange for rice, and he'll be able to give everyone more rice. In the future, even if we don't go out to sea, we can still have enough to eat!"
Speaking of this, Xiao Hailan was particularly happy.
If everyone can have enough to eat, there will be no need to go out to sea, no one will die, and her children will not be without a father and mother!
Hearing her say this, Tang Yu'an couldn't help but smile.
He knew that Haijing had exploited the rules to the extreme - each villager could only exchange 200 grams of brown rice a day, and he could only earn a maximum of 70 points from the villagers every day.
However, 200 grams of brown rice a day is obviously not enough for adults.
When he gets his salary, in addition to 5% personal points, he will also have 10% purchase points, so he will have more money to help the villagers.
After all, at Haijing's rate of earning points, he could get tens of thousands of purchasing points.
This also reminded Tang Yu'an that he needed to keep some of the points as salary reserves, otherwise it would be embarrassing if he couldn't pay out the points on the salary settlement day.
"So what do you want to change today?"
"I...I want milk." Little Hailan swallowed and continued, "Daddy wants a low-temperature cloth."
"Or do you want to exchange it for all the sea salt?" Tang Yu'an asked.
"Yeah!" Xiao Hailan nodded, "Let's change them all!"
So Tang Yu'an helped Xiao Hailan to buy some again. Because he didn't bring a printing machine with him when he went to the other dimension, the stock of low-temperature cloth was limited, so he could only give her 10 sheets of 2.4x2 size.
In addition to the staple food worth 5,000 points, I also bought some extra dried squid, scallops, dried cuttlefish, and dried shrimps, which also cost 5,000 points.
Then, considering that Haijing had started learning to write, he bought him a batch of pencils and exercise books.
Next came soap, mosquito coils, matches, laundry detergent, thermos... These miscellaneous items also cost more than 5,000 points.
In the end, it cost about 20,000 points in total.
Looking at the goods piled up like a mountain in front of him, Tang Yu'an finally felt the reality of the 20,000 points.
There are really a lot!
But why did he spend his points so quickly?
Tang Yu'an shook his head and traded all these things to Xiao Hailan as goods. As the transaction was completed, a system prompt popped up.
You completed a profitable trade with a Dream Wisher, earning +70,050 points, +6 experience points, and +1 dream fragment.
[You obtained 3668 kilograms of sea salt]
After deducting the cost of more than 20,000 points for exchanging goods, Tang Yu'an made a profit of more than 48,000 points in this transaction!
Seeing the points balance rise to 450,000+, Tang Yuan happily took out another message in a bottle.
This time the bottle is from Xiao Risheng.
However, maybe Tang Yu'an hadn't appeared for too long, and Lan Yunqing had become an employee, so he didn't sleep in the warehouse tonight, but went back to his parents.
Because of this, he didn't have many blue beard leaves to trade.
After all, Xiao Risheng is not like Hailan. She is Haijing's daughter and has the right to dispose of household things, but Xiao Risheng does not.
Tang Yu'an didn't care much about it. Lan Yunqing had already brought him hundreds of thousands of points, so it wouldn't be a big deal even without Xiao Risheng.
They also have nearly 9,000 blue beard leaves on hand, and it will take a lot of time to use them all to make low-temperature cloth and normal-temperature cloth.
So Tang Yu'an chatted with Xiao Risheng to learn about the latest situation in Lanhu Town.
Lan Yunqing would exchange blue beard leaves at the grain store every day, and he would be done after exchanging about five or six hundred pieces.
Although one piece of blue hu leaf can only be exchanged for 100 grams of brown rice now, there are still a lot of people queuing up every day. Everyone is proud to be able to hand the blue hu leaf to the lord personally.
Following Lan Yunqing's call, more and more people began to grow brown rice.
Because there are many wood-type mutants in Lanhu Town, they have actually grown some fruit. However, because brown rice requires too much water, Lan Yunqing has introduced wheat in recent days.
In short, the diet of people in Lanhu Town is becoming more diverse.
However, the time is short and it is not yet possible to form a scale. It will take some time to run it before we know whether it is good or not.
Of course, the above information was analyzed by Zhou Qi based on Xiao Risheng's words and Lan Yunqing's exchange records.
Xiao Risheng is too young to fully express many things.
Finally, Tang Yu'an exchanged a bag of candy for a piece of blue beard leaf with him, and then ended the conversation.
The third bottle had green eyes, and his expression became clearer and clearer. This time he still wanted the healing potion.
The mutant blueberries and mutant strawberries traded from Green Eyes are also very useful in the other dimension because of their excellent detoxification effects.
Now that I have almost finished eating, it is really time to restock.
So Tang Yu'an readily traded him three drops of intermediate healing potion and obtained 5 kilograms of strawberries.
Since then, the number of drift bottle fishing attempts has been exhausted.
"I didn't find the bottle of Gan Lin today." Tang Yu'an said with some regret.
He originally wanted to remind Gan Lin that while the flood here has not yet passed, they should dig more wells so that he can transfer more water.
But Gan Lin didn't seem to be sleeping today, and maybe a message in a bottle wouldn't necessarily appear when he was sleeping.
"Let's wait and see later." Zhou Qi said.
"Uh-huh!"
Seeing Zhou Qi start to pack up, Tang Yu'an also hurried to help, and then they went to summon the four pets.
Then they stood on the teleportation array and appeared together at Ping An Grocery Store No. 4 in another dimension.
They returned to this plane around ten in the morning, and now they are back at around nine o'clock. More than half a month has passed in the alternate plane.
It was still white outside, and the snow was almost covering their hut.
In this situation, Tang Yu'an didn't want to go out at all, he just wanted to stay in the house and sleep.
Zhou Qi took out his light computer and set the time in the home calendar - because the length of time can be adjusted, as long as 1 second is adjusted to 30 seconds, he can roughly know how much time has passed on this plane.
Then he began to make the bed, placing fire stones in each corner, and then binding the entire hut with room temperature cloth.
In this way, the room was finally no longer cold.
They lay down in bed and began to sleep. Wangcai and Yinbi didn't know what was going on, so when they saw them sleeping, they followed suit.
Because the house was small, Wangcai turned back into the form of a fortune cat.
Yuanbao and Hei Zhenzhu looked at the snow outside, then looked at the two sleeping boys, and then ran away at the same time.
They preferred the spacious building of Store No. 1 to the cramped little house, so they ran back through the teleportation array.
When Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi woke up, 8 hours had passed here, but only 16 minutes had passed on their own plane.
The time difference is really huge!
However, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi had rested enough, so they did not continue to sleep. Instead, they moved the Golden Head and the Super Printing Machine over and asked it to make normal temperature cloth and low temperature cloth.
Then they started class, and when they felt tired of studying, they turned on their laptops to watch videos.
Zhou Qi had already screened the film once before, but after all, it was selected by the optical computer AI, so he decided to watch it again.
Tang Yu'an did it purely out of interest.
He loves watching TV so much. After coming to the other world, he hasn't watched TV for almost nine months!
Although he can only watch the video now, he still thinks it is great.
Before watching the movie, Zhou Qi also sliced the sweet potatoes and potatoes he had dug earlier, fried them and used them as snacks, which felt even better!
For the first one they chose a comedy movie.
From the scenes in the movie, we can see that the civilization of this world before the catastrophe is very similar to their original world, and the comedy shooting techniques are also similar.
Tang Yu'an was amused and laughed a lot, but the louder he laughed at the beginning, the more sadly he cried when he saw the part about family affection later.
Even Zhou Qi's eyes were red.
The two little masters hugged each other and cried, making Yinbi and Wangcai very anxious. Finally, Yinbi broke open the door of the cabin.
The cold wind blew in with a roar, and the silver coin bit the corner of Tang Yu'an's clothes, pulling and pushing, and finally drove them out of the house.
Wangcai also changed back into the form of a dog and started playing happily in the snow with Yinbi.
Influenced by them, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi's mood finally improved, and they also started playing snowball fights in the snow.
They laughed and joked, and only went back into the house to watch the movie after they had released their emotions.
But this time, they all deliberately avoided films about family and watched cartoons and brain-burning science fiction films.
In this way, they stayed in the alternate dimension for 10 days, and only returned to Ping'an Grocery Store at around 6 o'clock in the morning in this dimension.
The seven-day sale interface was also refreshed as scheduled.
[Seven-day sale (remaining refresh time: 6 days)]
1. Mining Robot (3/3): 6888 points/unit
2. Solar Printer (1/1): 16,888 points/unit
3. Printing ink (5/5): 8888 points/set
4. Smart Housekeeping Robot [Advanced Edition] (1/1): 16,688 points/unit
5. Space Stone (1/1): 48888 points/piece
Looking at the seven-day sale interface, Zhou Qi was speechless.
Not only did my order go through, but they even provided the ink. How thoughtful! :)
