Chapter 113 The Mechanical Era He barely left the bedroom. ...
Shi Yu had no idea where she was.
But it should be a very safe place, because he and Shen Su spent a week there without anyone bothering them.
This week, Shi Yu felt he was severely sleep-deprived. Although he was almost always asleep, when he was awake, he was constantly bothered by Chen Su. He would finally fall asleep, or rather, faint, to be more accurate, only to be woken up by Chen Su in his sleep to be fed some water and porridge, and then continue.
He barely managed to leave the bedroom.
Therefore, we don't know how big this place is.
Shi Yu knew that Shen Su was angry.
He also understood that he had gone too far, and a single kiss was unlikely to appease Shen Su. So, he could be said to have indulged Shen Su's behavior afterward. However, he found that his unlimited indulgence only resulted in Shen Su becoming more and more outrageous.
He always thought that Shen Su would calm down after the day, but Shen Su's behavior the next day would tell him that Shen Su was still angry. Several days passed like this, and he had no way of knowing whether Shen Su had calmed down or not.
For the first time, Shi Yu experienced the feeling of being utterly helpless.
The task-issuing system here is practically dead.
They don't urge players to explore, nor do they issue quests; it seems they don't care at all whether players complete the game or not.
Shi Yu also tried to distract Shen Su by talking about the dungeon information, but ended up being bullied by Shen Su to the point of almost crying.
"You still dare to mention dungeons to me?" Shen Su bit his lip, her expression fierce, but her eyes were red, like a wife abandoned by her husband. "You confessed to me one day and abandoned me the next day. What an irresponsible boyfriend you are!"
Shi Yu: "..."
“I didn’t abandon you, I was worried…” Shi Yu tried to defend herself.
Shen Su interrupted, "Are you worried you'll die in the dungeon and make me a widower? Is that it?"
As he spoke, he picked Shi Yu up, his two strong arms holding her tightly in his embrace. In reality, Shi Yu had almost no strength left and was only supported by Shen Su's arms. His warm breath brushed against Shi Yu's earlobe, and Shen Su said through gritted teeth, "I've become a widower, and you still say you haven't abandoned me?"
"..."
Shi Yu bit her lip, but didn't say anything.
The words may be rough, but the principle is sound; that is indeed the case.
Shen Su asked him again, "Why aren't you saying anything? Keep making excuses!"
Shi Yu: "..."
They've all resorted to "excuses."
Who would still want to keep making excuses?
Shi Yu stopped talking. He closed his eyes and leaned against Shen Su's chest, his arms limply around Shen Su's neck.
This week, Shi Yu was puzzled, and so were the viewers in the live stream. Ever since Shen Su started streaming and suddenly appeared in the Mechanical Era instance, Shi Yu and Shen Su's live streams were unwatchable for 21 out of 24 hours a day.
[What content is off-limits to my esteemed SVIP membership?]
[Remove the mosaic, how much? Name your price!]
Seven days! Seven days, brothers! Isn't 10,000 favor points enough?!
[I just want to say, Chen Su, take it easy. Even oxen that plow the fields need rest. I really suspect he'll ruin Yu Yu.]
[Aren't all the items in this dungeon unusable? Does that mean the partner items are usable? I feel like this game is just a ploy to trick my wife into sleeping with me!!!]
[I really don't know. Currently, only Jiang Liuyue has cleared this dungeon, and it's just a rumor. He cleared the old dungeon; they were among the first players to enter after the update. Who knows if the updated dungeon has more or fewer restrictions?]
[YuYu went into the dungeon all by herself, which is really too much. Although I'm a die-hard fan of YuYu, I support Chen Su in this matter. YuYu should learn from this and never dare to venture out alone again!]
[Um, you guys seem to have forgotten that the Mechanical Era has the highest mortality rate of any instance so far. They might not have a future...]
I think everyone doesn't need to be too pessimistic. Mo Rugui is also in this dungeon. If there's anyone besides Jiang Liuyue who can clear the Mechanical Era, it's probably Mo Rugui.
[Have you noticed that the dungeons Mo Rugui has entered over the years are the same ones Jiang Liuyue has entered before?]
[Jiang Liuyue and Mo Rugui, one ranked first and the other second on the skill leaderboard, one left the game, and the other is following in the footsteps of the other. Why does it feel like Jiang Liuyue and Mo Rugui are... a bit... likable?]
[As someone who's been a regular on forums for years, let me tell you some gossip—Jiang Liuyue has a crush on Mo Rugui.]
[Unfortunately, Mo Rugui is straight.]
Yes, Mo Rugui had a girlfriend at that time, but she died later.
[It's rumored that Jiang Liuyue killed his girlfriend out of love turned to hate... Hahaha, just kidding! It's all gossip, fake, fake! But one thing is certain: Mo Rugui is indeed constantly replaying the dungeons Jiang Liuyue once entered. Mo Rugui is probably using this method to find a way out of the game? After all, nobody knows exactly how Jiang Liuyue left the game in the first place.]
...
Eve beat up Lieutenant Colonel Karen.
Lieutenant Colonel Karen refused to admit that he had kidnapped Shi Yu.
Just as Eve was about to start the chainsaw, Mo Rugui pulled her back, and then he also beat up Lieutenant Colonel Karen, beating her even harder than Eve, even using some special methods. Lieutenant Colonel Karen cried his eyes out, and finally they believed that Shi Yu's disappearance was not because of Lieutenant Colonel Karen.
The matter of them trespassing on a private residence and assaulting the homeowner was ultimately settled with Eve paying a large sum of money in compensation.
In the following days, the two secretly inquired about Shi Yu's whereabouts.
After failing to find anything, Eve offered a hefty reward, and within just one day, someone provided a clue.
The man not only provided a surveillance video, but also helped them investigate the information of the person who abducted Shi Yu: "This person's information has not been entered into the Empire System, so it is uncertain whether he is a robot or a synthetic human, but judging from his skills, his combat strength is at least at the level of an A-level warrior."
Mo Rugui and Eve fell silent after watching the surveillance video.
The NPCs didn't know who this person was, but they recognized him as Shen Su.
After the man left after giving her the money, Eve leaned back on the sofa with her legs propped up on the coffee table, fiddling with her red nails, and said, "So it was his husband who came to rescue him. The young couple should be on their honeymoon somewhere right now. Let's not bother them."
It wouldn't be wrong to say they were on their honeymoon.
On the tenth day, Shi Yu was finally able to go out for a stroll.
He discovered that they were on a small island surrounded by the sea.
The seaside was bitterly cold with surging waves, but the island was warm and blooming with peach blossoms everywhere. Orioles sang in the branches, and sheep and rabbits could be seen occasionally in the grass. A Chinese-style manor was built in the peach grove, which was where they lived.
The manor was very large and filled with peach blossoms. Men wearing camouflage vests could be seen moving around inside. They didn't look like robots, because according to the information he got from Qinglan, robots could repair their wounds, while these men had scars of all sizes on their exposed skin.
There were guards at the entrance of the manor, but no one stopped Shi Yu from leaving.
It's unclear whether Shen Su had instructed them beforehand, or whether Shen Su was certain that Shi Yu wouldn't leave this place even if she went out.
Their current favorability rating is already 15,000.
The resurrection item has indeed been unlocked.
However, it cannot be used...
Although they wasted ten days trying to build up favorability, at least Shen Su's anger subsided. Shen Su also knew more about this instance than Shi Yu, such as the climate differences between the island and the outside: "After robots ruled the world, Earth no longer had seasons, day and night, or natural phenomena like wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. But this island is an independent space-time, created by the island's previous owner, who is my father."
"My father loves spring and peach blossoms, so the island is always springtime, and peach blossoms are always blooming everywhere."
"Springtime on the island, while the sea is bitterly cold, is because the sea is a virtual existence. If you go any further, you will find that you can't get out at all. You need a special method to leave here. Similarly, you need a special method to get in. This is also to protect the people on the island."
Shi Yu sat on the sofa, dressed in loose beige loungewear. There was a soft cushion on the sofa, but he was still not very comfortable. He leaned back against the backrest and put two more cushions on his back and hugged another one in his arms to make himself a little more comfortable. He asked, "Are all the people on the island human?"
“They’re not all human; there are also synthetic beings. They are all my father’s subordinates and the descendants of my father’s subordinates.” As Shen Su spoke, he handed a stack of documents to Shi Yu. In the Mechanical Era, robots used quantum computers to transmit information, but humans still preferred paper documents.
As Shi Yu was looking through the documents, Shen Su explained to him: "Simply put, after robots took over the world, most humans chose to compromise and become slaves to the robots, but a small number of people were still plotting how to overthrow the robot rule, and my father was the leader of these people."
“So you…” Shi Yu raised his head, faint red finger marks still visible on his fair chin, his dark eyes reflecting the morning light. He winked at Chen Su, “Young Master?”
"Cough cough cough..." Shen Su was drinking water when he heard this and choked on a mouthful of water.
No wonder Shi Yu called him by such a corny, romantic novel-like term.
That's what people outside call Chen Su.
"Is our main mission to overthrow the robot rule?" Shi Yu's expression turned serious and solemn again, as if he hadn't been the one joking around just now.
As she spoke, Shi Yu glanced at the game panel.
The system didn't send any messages, and the sections about the dungeon description were still full of question marks.
"have no idea."
Shen Su shrugged.
He also opened the game panel, and the interface was the same as Shi Yu's, with all the items grayed out and the dungeon description section full of question marks.
Chen Su said, "Mo Rugui is also in this instance. Mo Rugui's friend Jiang Liuyue is the only person who has cleared this instance. Mo Rugui's entry into this instance must be related to Jiang Liuyue. Let's go and meet up with Mo Rugui first. He should know some information that we don't know."
