Chapter 237 Deep Virtual Reality 64
"What a pity," the doctor sighed, then completed the follow-up treatment plan for Xie Ning.
Annika breathed a sigh of relief as she watched 068 slowly return to normal. This was her first time participating in an experiment, and if she had destroyed the experimental subject, she probably wouldn't be able to enter the lab again.
Seeing this, Jiang Teng comforted him, "Today's medicine is newly distributed. I forgot to tell you that the dosage is slightly different."
"It was my fault for not reading the instructions." Annika wouldn't blame others for her mistake, after all, it was her own carelessness. Xie Ning had clearly told her to carefully read the instructions before preparing the potion, regardless of whether she was familiar with it or not.
"I'm working overtime today, you guys go and rest first." Xie Ning rubbed her temples. Actually, she was also very tired, but 068's body hadn't fully stabilized yet, so she was a little worried.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll treat you to drinks when I have the holiday. I know you can't hold your liquor. There's a new bar that just opened on Les Street. Their snacks are pretty good, and their special cocktails are sweet too. You should try it."
Annika felt a little embarrassed; if it weren't for her mistake, Xie Ning would probably have already gone home.
Their daily workload is quite heavy, and getting off work at six o'clock is a rare consolation.
Xie Ning lowered her head and transferred the data into the computer. She just smiled at Annika's words. As soon as she opened her eyes, she was filled with work. Her job and other things filled her time. She even had to read books and catch up on various knowledge during her spare time. Where was there any time to relax?
Her only hope was that she could have two days off after the practical test to go back to school and attend classes; otherwise, she would have to ask her juniors for lecture videos to study.
Jiang Teng rubbed his lower back and quietly revealed, "Don't worry too much. Once Dr. Ji comes back in a while, we'll be able to take a long vacation."
!
"Is it paid?" Annika valued this aspect.
"Of course it's paid. I can't say more, but just wait, we'll get a vacation sooner or later. Maybe we can even hitch a luxury trip." Jiang Teng's mysterious tone completely piqued Annika's curiosity, but he wouldn't say anything more.
Annika wailed, "I hate it when you guys only say half of what you mean!"
Although Jiang Teng didn't explain it very clearly, Xie Ning was looking forward to the holiday. If the investigation with Yin Yue didn't go smoothly, she would probably have to go there herself.
"Thump—thump—"
034 tapped on the glass to attract Xie Ning's attention, staring longingly at the glass jar on the table. Xie Ning picked up the jar, slid it to the side of the cabin, folded two butterflies inside, and then pasted a portrait of 034 inside, which she had casually drawn yesterday when she was working on the design drawings.
“I like it…” 034 gestured in sign language, her eyes filled with joy.
Xie Ning looked at the modified mechanical surface on his body, his eyes narrowing slightly. The modified area of 034 was even larger than that of 068, but he withstood it and showed that he adapted well.
Taking a toolbox from the cabinet next to her desk, Xie Ning said to 034, "I'll draw your blood for a test, it won't hurt much."
The boy didn't understand, but he still obediently stretched out his only intact arm.
There are professional testing instruments here, so Xie Ning doesn't need to go to another department to have someone else do the tests.
After a lot of work, Xie Ning didn't find anything special about 034. Only a few values were slightly higher, but still within the normal range.
Perhaps he really did persevere through sheer willpower, and his adaptability was better than that of other test subjects.
The fluctuating values of 068 didn't stabilize until midnight. Xie Ning gave her an injection before getting up to leave the experimental base and return to her apartment.
The experimental base was even quieter at night. Apart from a few researchers working overtime or on night shift, most people had gone home. There were still two guards at each checkpoint, and they did not let their guard down just because it was night.
Xie Ning sat in the corner of the elevator, drinking an energy-boosting beverage. Because she was working overtime, she hadn't eaten dinner, and food delivery wasn't allowed here.
The elevator doors opened, but instead of the lobby, Professor Lillian, dressed in a silver-white uniform, appeared. Two assistants followed behind her, talking amongst themselves as they walked, only stopping when they saw there were still people in the elevator.
Xie Ning stood up. "Professor Lillian."
The staff hierarchy at the experimental base was quite strict, with a semi-military management system, and Xie Ning had no choice but to abide by its rules and regulations.
Professor Lillian's assistant dared to mock Chu Qing, but dared not be presumptuous in front of Director Crete.
"Hmm." Professor Lillian responded coldly, then closed her eyes to rest. The other two assistants also remained silent.
Xie Ning sniffed; she seemed to smell the salty, fishy smell of the sea.
Looking down at the floor, I saw the footprints and water stains left by Lillian and the others—seawater.
