At three o'clock in the afternoon three days ago, Ji Song was still in a meeting at the bureau, and Xu Shiqing was about to end his inspection, sighing that today was such a peaceful day.
All I can say is that when life goes too smoothly, people should be more vigilant.
At around four o'clock, Xu Shiqing felt a huge energy fluctuation in the northern area not far away. This special feeling came from his past familiarity with the Infinite Game, so he could sense it as soon as the game emerged.
"No wonder He hasn't made any noise in the past three years." Xu Shiqing said, "So He was waiting for me here."
He felt a sense of urgency, which meant that the Infinite Game had found him. After all, there hadn't been a game in City C in three years, and when it did, it made such a big fuss. Compared with the minor incidents in other cities, no one would believe that it was just a coincidence.
What's more, no one among the infinite game players believes in coincidences.
Xu Shiqing frowned, found a place without surveillance, and rushed towards the source of the breath.
This fluctuation must involve at least a thousand people.
The infinite game came very quickly. For a life at his level, isolating a space was as easy as covering an ant with a cup.
When Xu Shiqing arrived, the copy had already been formed. He only had time to tear it open, pull out a sword from the air, and then release a very iconic sword intent. The deterrent meaning contained in it was enough to make the monsters in the copy shrink and retreat, and it was also enough to alert his friends in the game.
[My host has sensed his presence.] 003 said, [He will be here soon, don't worry.]
Xu Shiqing breathed a sigh of relief. He swiftly defeated the dungeon boss. It was a giant dragon. Its huge body fell heavily to the ground, shattering the concrete floor beneath it, and then slowly dissipated.
He pulled the sword from the dragon and stored it in space. Then, it landed lightly on the ground. Surrounding him were people who had been stunned or frightened unconscious. Their figures gradually faded away, clearly accepting the invitation to play the game.
Xu Shiqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. The fluctuations in the dungeon behind him were disappearing. He glanced back before leaving. Everything had returned to its original state, except for—
Empty.
Time goes back to the present.
The main story of the manga has begun. 003 said, "During the prequel's preparations, I taught you everything I needed to know. I also had 021 take notes on some of the little tricks and such."
Xu Shiqing nodded, knowing that 003 would return to cooperate with his host to complete the mission. Over the years, this mature and reliable senior, who had indulged 021 in freeloading, had provided comprehensive training in Xu Shiqing's acting skills and professional abilities. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him his master.
[That's right.] 003 said, "Given your personality, I'll tell 021 not to show you comics."
"Huh? Why?" Xu Shiqing suddenly sat up from the bed.
If one day you saw in a comic that Ji Song would die because of the Infinite Game, what would you do? 003 Question.
"Of course I'll stop it." Xu Shiqing said without hesitation.
[This is the problem.] 003 [Just like the preparation period, you would rather spend more time, even at the cost of violating the character we designed for you, than turn a blind eye to the weak in front of you.]
If you weren't a tasker, I would think you were a good person and we could be friends.
"But 001 entrusted you to me, and 021 is bound to you, so I must remind you," 003 said, "Now that you understand why the Space-Time Bureau was established, you should know that your integrity and kindness are just a drop in the bucket. You may be able to keep the person in front of you alive, but it may lead to the destruction of the entire world."
[Learning to be a little selfish and cold-blooded will not only help you go further, but it is also a responsibility to everyone.]
"...I understand." Xu Shiqing's mood became depressed.
003 calmly dodged the electronic popcorn thrown by 021 and said calmly, "Well, I'm leaving now. Remember to review the notes I left for you."
[021, don't take advantage of the fact that you and 001 were born in the same batch and slack off on your work.] 003 finally said, "Remember to update your data regularly. I see that half of your memory is filled with movies, TV series, comics, and novels."
"...that." Xu Shiqing said with a guilty conscience, "I saw it too."
[……] 003 It’s hard to describe in a few words [Remember to clear this after reading. This guy’s brain is not smart to begin with, and now his head is full of this stuff. ]
I don't need Him to do anything. Xu Shiqing muttered to himself, but didn't dare to say it out loud. Anyway, 003 left, and he and 021 closed the door. Who knows if his own system has used half of its memory to store movies, TV series, comics and novels.
003 glanced at the two nearly identical fellows, thinking that things really do take on the shape of their owners. Fortunately, Xu Shiqing was just inexperienced, not truly stupid, otherwise he would have been worried that someone had tricked these two into being abducted.
Some people leave, leaving us nostalgic. Some others leave, leaving us trembling. 021 transformed into a solid object, leaping from the air onto Xu Shiqing's head. The solid object he transformed into was just a simple sphere, but it felt soft and could be flattened into a pancake.
[I'm not slacking off!] 021 said loudly, [003 is going too far! Don't think I don't know. He doesn't care about the host!]
That's because the seniors' business capabilities are so strong that the system is useless...
Xu Shiqing really wanted to say that he still couldn't compare with others.
However, without such a strong planning teacher by his side, Xu Shiqing was still a little uncomfortable. After all, 003 was really good at adjusting plans according to the host's situation. No matter what unexpected situation occurred, he could react immediately and come up with the next countermeasures.
