Chapter 27 27. So what is our relationship now?
After discussing the content of the transaction with Shen Jinwen, Xu Zhi was not in a hurry to leave.
Now that she has felt out Shen Jinwen's attitude, she can discuss some things with him.
"Do you know the Nanshan villa area?" she asked.
Shen Jinwen nodded: “I know.”
"How far is it from here?"
Hearing Xu Zhi's question, Shen Jinwen's expression changed slightly, "Do you want to go there?"
Xu Zhi shook his head: "No, I'm just asking."
Shen Jinwen: "Oh, it's still a bit far. It usually takes about 40 minutes to drive there. It's in the southern ecological zone."
That was just normal times. Now, you can’t go into the city. You have to take a detour and it will take more than an hour to get there.
It seems that I can't access it for the time being unless I randomly go there again.
Xu Zhi stopped asking questions about the Nanshan Villa District. Seeing that the time was almost up, he prepared to say goodbye and leave.
Before leaving, Shen Jinwen stopped her and asked a question: "I plan to find a tool to contact my companions later, such as a walkie-talkie. Do you need one?"
This sentence actually has a hint of suggestion, probably something like: Do you want to be my teammate?
Xu Zhi thought that Shen Jinwen was quite reserved in her words, so she smiled and nodded: "Of course, we can't always guess whether the other person is at home, right?"
Shen Jinwen looks cool, like the kind of person who is very aloof and difficult to approach, but when she heard Xu Zhi's answer, a faint smile appeared on her usually calm face, and she instantly became much closer.
Xu Zhi knew that this was because they had tacitly reached a "companion agreement".
On the way home, Xu Zhi was still thinking, you can't judge a book by its cover. After getting to know Shen Jinwen, her personality was not as unapproachable as her appearance. Instead, she seemed a little quiet and well-behaved. She didn't know whether she should describe a girl who was a few years older than her in this way, but that was how she felt.
Although she is sufficiently vigilant and does not rely on others when she doesn't know you, and can live independently even in such a place, she is surprisingly easy to talk to after you get to know her, and may even take the initiative to show her friendliness if she feels you are a trustworthy person. Even her aggressiveness was only revealed when you first met.
Xu Zhi likes teammates who are obedient and don’t have too many opinions, because she used to live by listening to others, and now naturally doesn’t want to listen to anyone’s opinions anymore.
It didn't take long after I got home for the upgrade of the game console to be completed.
Xu Zhi watched the two-hour progress bar reach the last point with difficulty, and then the screen reappeared with the scene he saw when he first picked up the game console.
A gloomy sky made of pixels, with a black sun hanging high in the sky. Pollution is born from the sun, turning into liquid and falling into the mortal world continuously.
A familiar narration emerged from the center of the screen.
【Game update completed. 】
【Click here to view the update announcement. 】
Xu Zhi clicked OK, and then the update announcement popped up.
The game upgrade content is as follows:
1: Optimize the AFK settings. After the update, there is no longer a time limit for AFK, and you can change the instructions and recall your clan at any time.
2. The improvement your clan brings to you each time it levels up has increased.
Three: Add a suggestion box function. If you are dissatisfied with the game in the future, you can use the suggestion box to make suggestions, and the game will be rectified.
There were only three updated items, but Xu Zhi was a little surprised.
This game... Why does it feel so obedient?
She remembered that she had just complained about the rigid hang-up function a few days ago, and it was immediately optimized and a suggestion box function was added.
What’s more important is the second one. The improvement brought to her by the clan upgrade has increased. This update makes Xu Zhi feel a little strange.
She has always been curious about the physical improvements her clan provided her after upgrading. Where did the energy come from?
The Families themselves? Or the game itself?
Doesn't this update mean that the game is pressuring herself or her clan to provide her with help?
Is this game worshipping itself as an ancestor?
He gave her tips on every detail, and told her secrets that were difficult for ordinary people to know without hesitation. He provided her with both spiritual and physical help. Now, if she has any opinions, he will correct them immediately.
Moreover, he never asked anything from her, nor did he harm her.
".What's going on?"
Xu Zhi even began to wonder if there was some shocking conspiracy, such as that she was a livestock raised by the game console, and once she was fattened up, the game console would reveal its true intention and kill her.
But, why raise someone so weak at the beginning when there are so many people to raise?
Wouldn’t anyone else be better than her?
She didn't even awaken her extraordinary abilities on her own, she still relied on eating cores to build up her abilities!
Thinking of autonomous awakening, Xu Zhi paused.
The overly "flattering" behavior of the game console and the "coincidence" that it started to upgrade right after she ate the black fruit gave her some bold ideas.
But Xu Zhi subconsciously rejected the guess in her mind. After all, this was really weird. Although the game console appeared very suddenly, she did not have any hallucinations at that time, nor did she dream like Shen Jinwen. After that, she did not sense any extraordinary abilities. She was still an ordinary person.
So the game console shouldn't be her supernatural power, otherwise why doesn't she feel anything?
After awakening the [Eye of Insight], she clearly felt that there was a difference in her advancement from an ordinary person to an extraordinary person.
But not when it came to getting the console.
So this bold idea was quickly rejected by Xu Zhi.
"What else could it be?"
Xu Zhi sighed, feeling that she really couldn't understand why the game console "fell in love" with her.
But no matter what, this is the only thing she can hold on to at the moment, and there has been nothing wrong with the performance of the game console so far. She will not give up this tool that can make her stronger.
But for now, let her experience how much improvement the clan upgrade can bring to her after the update.
Xu Zhi took out the remaining three black fruits from the warehouse, fed one to Gouzi and one to Xiaoyi.
There is still one pill left and she plans to see how much Xiaoyi can digest this time. If he can absorb enough evolution points, she will give it to Xiaoyi.
After all, her current goal is to raise a level 20 clan as soon as possible.
Moreover, after eating two fruits, she can get two chances to extract the characteristics of her clan, which is also a great improvement for her.
Xu Zhi still felt a little uneasy when he saw his two followers falling asleep after eating the fruit.
It is obvious that the family members will have obvious improvements after eating the fruit, so why doesn’t she have any?
She didn't feel that the extraordinary energy in her body had increased, nor did she feel that the [Eye of Insight] had been upgraded, nor did she feel that she had any additional extraordinary abilities!
The only change was that the game was upgraded, which made it hard for her not to think too much!
"So what is your relationship to me?"
The girl held the game console and talked to herself in distress.
When I was thinking about the title of this chapter and looking at the ending, I suddenly thought of this sentence and couldn't help laughing.
(So the title of this chapter has nothing to do with the text)
(End of this chapter)
