Chapter 122: Unit 4 Extra System In the end...
In the end, the system didn't actually understand how this sure-fire rescue mission failed.
Li Zheng's original death date was mid-November. According to past mission procedures, as long as Li Zheng was still alive after the death date, he would be considered rescued successfully. After the detention period, the system would record a video of Li Zheng's current life and he could be released.
But his mission target said he wanted to go back to the game.
Then the mission has failed.
From the system's perspective, Wei Sheng and the NPC Wei Lele in the game have the same soul and are actually the same person, but they are two people in different timelines.
If it happens again, Wei Lele will exist, but who will exist? Will it be the original him? Or the later him?
This system itself cannot guarantee it.
But the host at that time said: "I always have a hunch. Whether I remember him or not, I will still walk towards him firmly, just like I did before..."
Didn't he also walk up to him?
Even though the two of them were in different worlds, didn't he still fall in love with him?
This indescribable "intuition" of human beings cannot be understood by intelligent systems, especially if the emotional level of the system is not very high.
What exactly is this "intuition"?
The rigid system refused to accept this suggestion, stubbornly believing that success was imminent and that rewinding the game would result in mission failure! It simply didn't want to be penalized!
So the astute humans began to figure out how to cheat in the intelligent system and how to pre-prepare content. After all, Li Zheng would definitely die in the end just like in the original work.
But wouldn't it be better if he clearly rejected your real proposal? Tell him there's no way to go back.
Just a little lie.
Didn't Wei Lele lie a lot in the past? He told different lies to different people. A shrewd person like him would never let himself suffer any loss.
But why...
In response to this, the host finally said that he didn't want to lie to Li Zheng. He couldn't lie to Li Zheng. Facing those eyes, he couldn't tell a single lie. He didn't want to see him sad.
Even if those people's deaths had nothing to do with Li Zheng, it would be fine to continue, but he would still have an invisible mountain weighing heavily on his back.
He wanted Li Zheng to be more relaxed, both mentally and physically, including his entire life. He wanted him to be more relaxed.
In the end, the task was judged to be successful. Although the score was not particularly high, a small icon appeared in the system settlement task column.
The more tasks it completed, the higher the system's emotional module upgraded. One day, the system suddenly became curious like humans. It began to wonder:
Will they meet?
Will they remember each other?
Clicking on the settled task icon, two figures were clearly shown.
After the reset, the life trajectories of the two people have indeed changed greatly. At first glance, it seems that two people living in different places will never intersect in their lives.
And as if it was destined, a tourist who accidentally bought the wrong ticket, a class reunion with ulterior motives, and a tourist who took the wrong path.
After Wei Lele left the private room, he leaned against the wall, clutching his pounding chest, wondering what was going on.
The emotional section and the upgraded system were already able to clearly identify his emotions: "Excited"
They still met.
This is "intuition".
"Come on, come on... rely on your intuition and catch whichever one is which. As long as you catch the first prize, you can take away the grand prize behind us!!!"
It was a little after ten in the morning, and the sun was shining brightly. A slightly elevated platform was erected in the corner of Mingzhu Plaza, piled high with all kinds of prizes, ranging from small ones like thermoses, blenders, and electric fans to large ones like refrigerators, washing machines, and air conditioners, etc.
The stage was covered with a red cloth, and two bowls were placed on the small square table in the middle. The host's suggestive words exploded into the ears of every onlooker in the audience through the microphone.
"This is our tenth anniversary event, and we're giving everyone some benefits. Come on in and you're guaranteed to win, come on in and you're guaranteed to win..."
Li Zheng heard the host's shouting from a distance. He could of course see that it was a scam, but most of the people who could set up stalls here had paid rent.
"Do you want to give it a try?"
The young man following Li Zheng was eager to try. He looked at Li Zheng with a meaningful look, "If you want to win, you can win."
"Didn't I tell you? This is all a scam. There's a trap inside the box. They won't let you get the cash. The most you can get is those thermoses..."
"…No, you can if you want."
"..." After looking at him for a while, Li Zheng was sure that he was not lying. "What do you want to do?"
"I'm not doing anything, just to make you happy."
Ever since the two met, Wei Lele has always spoken so directly. He seems to never understand what beating around the bush is and has always been so carefree.
But no matter how many times he heard it, he still felt that these words were...too corny.
He himself would never say such words, so he didn't quite understand how anyone could say such words without blushing at all.
"Okay, let's go." Li Zheng said, "Why do I need those? I have them at home, and I'm only going out for a short while and will be back soon. Why are you still following me? Can't you just stay home?"
"I'll go for a walk with you." He shook the bag of rice in his hand, "I'll help you carry your things."
It was the weekend, and Li Zheng was on vacation. He was lying at home watching TV when he suddenly received a text message. He saw that the group purchase coupon he had grabbed a few days ago was about to expire. Because the price was very favorable, the product was only available for self-pickup. The mall below Mingzhu Plaza was just downstairs.
Li Zheng thought, since he had nothing to do today, he might as well go out and get it. Initially, he hadn't thought of asking Wei Lele to come along, but Wei Lele saw him leaving and immediately appeared behind him as if automatically following him.
Yes. He has moved.
The old neighborhood he lived in was included in the demolition area, so he had to move out. When he moved out, he was surprised to find that the house he had originally rented was now under his name.
He immediately contacted the original owner, who also expressed deep regret, saying that he had sold the house half a year ago and would not have sold it so quickly if he had known it could be demolished.
However, he had no idea who the new buyer was. After all, he was out of town at the time and had not met the buyer, so he could only entrust an intermediary. All he knew was that the other party paid the money quickly and gave a figure far exceeding the market price.
In short, he received a large sum of demolition compensation.
The new house also came about by chance. The previous owner offered a price significantly lower than the market price, citing a rush to sell. The house was in Pearl Plaza, had a great location, was decorated to his liking, and came with its own parking space, so it was a near-perfect bargain.
He also bought a new car.
Although the old car he modified himself was very good and drivable, it was too old after all and some places were not so comfortable. If conditions allowed, he would prefer a new one.
Changing the car was a coincidence. Who knew that I would win a prize suddenly?
In short, his life was very comfortable for a while. If you think about it carefully, this kind of luck seems to always come to him.
In a dangerous place like the front line, it is lucky for many people to come back alive. Even if they can come down, they will be injured or disabled, but he was fine.
After returning to Cheongdam City, his career has been very smooth. He has been commended again and again for his outstanding work ability. If nothing unexpected happens, after accumulating another two years of experience, he should be able to take another step forward.
Many people in the bureau knew this, so even though he didn't take the initiative to maintain relationships and wasn't worldly-wise, everyone greeted him with a smile.
The new house is much larger than the previous one and has a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows. In the evening, the setting sun shines in from outside, and the whole room is dyed in a warm orange tone.
After Wei Lele appeared, she created all kinds of encounters with him, and after sticking to him like this for more than half a year, he finally confessed to him formally.
The day was specially chosen to be his birthday, in an exquisite restaurant, with gifts prepared for him. Everything was just right, there was even a little snow outside the window.
Li Zheng agreed.
The two people live together, but there is no friction due to different living habits. Their living habits are almost exactly the same.
After coming out of the elevator and before entering the door, Li Zheng heard a meowing sound coming from inside the house.
He quickly unlocked the door with his fingerprint.
As soon as the door opened, an ugly tortoise-shell cat meowed and rubbed against Li Zheng's feet. It looked so enthusiastic that people who didn't know would think that the two of them hadn't been home for several days. In fact, they had only been out for less than ten minutes.
"What's wrong? You missed me so much..."
Li Zheng suddenly remembered something. Just before he received the text message in the morning, he was typing "feed the kitten" and forgot about it because of the text message.
"Sorry, I forgot to pour you some food!"
"Are you hungry?"
He squatted down to pour cat food into the empty cat bowl, and when he changed the water, he found a small blue fluffy ball floating in the water. The kitten usually loved to play.
"Why did you get the ball in the water bowl again? You can't drink the water if it's dirty, don't you know?"
As he was lecturing, Wei Lele, who had just put the group-purchased pearl rice into the kitchen, came out. He took the bowl with hair balls and cat hair floating on it from Li Zheng's hand and turned to leave. After a while, he brought a freshly washed water bowl filled with fresh purified water.
"Come on, drink it."
The tortoiseshell kitten was no longer the tiny one it once was. It had grown a lot and had become quite long. Li Zheng had finally given the kitten a formal name: Mimi.
"This is too ordinary."
At that time, Wei Lele tried to object, but he thought of several names, but they were all rejected by Li Zheng on the grounds that the names he thought of were too strange.
"Okay, Mimi is Mimi." Wei Lele squatted down and pinched Mimi's ears, "Mimi...we are going to build a new home."
When we first moved in, Mimi was scared for a while, but now she can strut her tail and sleep anywhere in the room.
Li Zheng suddenly received a call from his apprentice. From the content of the call, it seemed that he had encountered some problems at work.
Wei Lele was sitting in the kitchen, and Mimi walked into the kitchen with her big tail erect as if patrolling her territory.
Feeling the warmth at his feet, he stopped cutting vegetables and looked down at the kitten.
He glanced sideways at Li Zheng, who was talking to his apprentice in the living room, and greeted the kitten very, very quietly, "Do you remember me?"
Mimi meowed and rubbed her head against his legs.
"Hahaha, he doesn't remember it anymore, you definitely don't remember it either, right? But I'll tell you in secret, I remember it, everything, everything..."
He remembered how, during his youth, he'd often sneak glances at Li Zheng's back during class. How could someone sit so straight? At a time when everyone was obsessed with non-mainstream writing, writing Martian language, and making it a trend, he never joined in the discussion, like a strange ink dot, standing out from the crowd.
His eyes were involuntarily glued to Li Zheng. He lowered his head to take notes, he stood up to answer questions, he sat on the podium to supervise during self-study classes, and every time he peeked, even though he knew Li Zheng might not know, his heart beat faster.
I remember that time he was sick, feeling groggy and alone at home. He rarely got sick, but that time he was particularly ill. He didn't eat all day, but he couldn't muster any energy. He just wanted to sleep until the end of time.
When the door opened, he thought it was the old man who had gone out to visit relatives and came back, but he was met with a pair of dark eyes. He bought medicine, poured water, and told him the homework.
He remembered the conversations they had with each other, away from the crowd, time and again. Most of what they said was just nonsense, and he himself didn't like to listen to gossip. But in order to have more to talk about next time he met Li Zheng, he would also ask for more interesting information.
He remembered that when Li Zheng was in love, he had secretly watched them date more than once. While thinking that they were really a good match, his heart felt as if it was soaked in corrosive liquid, and he could feel a burning pain with every breath.
He still remembered that one day strange things started to appear in front of his eyes, so he went back immediately. On the first day he went back, he got off the bus at Mingzhu Square.
He recalled that a long time ago, when little Li Zheng was setting up a stall in the square, he had actually secretly sent him food, but Li Zheng didn't know it was from him.
While walking in the mall, he suddenly heard Li Zheng's name. In such a noisy environment, he could actually catch those two words accurately.
A man and a woman passed by him. He didn't know the man, nor did he know the woman, but he knew Li Zheng, whom they were talking about, so he followed them.
I clearly remember how the squad leader introduced Li Zheng to that girl. His attitude was as enthusiastic as if he was selling a product. He enthusiastically talked about how great he was. Although he had some leg problems and his family situation was indeed a bit complicated, he...
He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a little angry at that moment. He felt that Li Zheng deserved the best and shouldn't be weighed like that... like unsalable goods...
So he did those things.
He remembered every detail, including the moment he saw his own name above the young man's head next to Li Zheng. At that moment, he vaguely realized what was going on, but he felt unwilling to accept it.
At the same time, he also remembered the intense excitement he felt when he saw Li Zheng from a distance in Qingshui River Park; he remembered how he looked at the case materials while shoveling rice into his mouth, his cheeks bulging as he unconsciously swallowed the meat he had picked up, so cute.
He remembered the first time he slept on the floor in that small rental house. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night in the first half of the night, and only fell asleep in a daze in the second half.
I remember the first time we had breakfast together, the first time we went shopping together, the first time we confessed our feelings...
I remember those last two weeks, walking together through the streets of a strange city, boating, picnicking, camping, and taking tons of photos...
Everything appeared in his mind at some ordinary midnight. Different lives, different experiences, but the only person in the same position was Li Zheng.
Wei Lele accepted it very quickly, turned around and hugged her partner who was sleeping beside her tightly.
Li Zheng had to go to work the next day, so he drowsily replied, "Why are you awake? Were you dreaming?"
"yes."
Soon, delicious dishes were served out one after another, and the rice in the rice cooker was ready.
"…What are you doing? Standing there in a daze."
Li Zheng's call had ended. He came over to help bring out the dishes from the kitchen one by one. When he turned back, he ran into Wei Lele bending over and touching her breasts.
He also came over and touched it.
The clown cat, which looks very sloppy, has some long-hair genes. Its hair is more lush than that of ordinary cats, and it also sheds easily.
Look at the same hair on the hands of two people.
"Let's go wash our hands."
"Okay."
