Shech remarked, "Games are really annoying."
They entered her mind and monitored her constantly. Everything she did and said was carefully observed, and even her binding with Shi Jinzhe was pre-arranged.
The game has put so much effort into her, even controlling the time she can enter dungeons. It's hard to say that they might give skill users some privileges in order to make her obedient.
Shehe imagined that if the person with the life-giving ability were someone like Cheng Youan or Cheng Yun, she would have to kill them from the very first moment they met, given their arrogant attitude.
"Luckily it's you and not someone else."
"I've already said we're destined for each other."
Shekh was immune to his sweet talk. "You weren't raised in the Cheng family to have that condescending personality that I find disgusting, which is quite a sign of your strength."
"This is a bit hard to explain." Shi Jinzhe understood how much the external environment could change a person. His personality had been affected, but overall, he was still quite different from the Cheng family.
"Perhaps it's because of an innate skill; unconsciously, I tend to view things as more equal. It's not absolute, but it certainly makes me feel superior..."
After thinking it over, Shi Jinzhe felt that saying it wasn't quite absolute, so he changed it to "very few."
What if he feels superior from someone else's perspective?
For example, Cheng You'an's acquired neurosis.
“Nothing is absolute,” Shekh said, preferring equality, though this was rarely within her acceptable range.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, the two quickened their pace and walked forward.
Jiang Yinxue found an office building facing the street. The four of them entered the building but didn't go too far inside, instead resting in the lobby.
The sofa was so hard it was difficult to sit on, so Shi Jinzhe found a thick winter scarf among the stored items and put it on top of the sofa.
Jiang opened a bottle of water: "Eat something and rest first. You don't need to stand guard at night. I'll have a few ghosts take turns."
Shi Jinzhe shook his head: "I'm not too sure. The city hasn't collapsed since the one at noon. I'm worried it might happen again in the middle of the night."
"You have someone protecting you, what are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid she'll get tired."
Jiang was speechless.
She asked that question unnecessarily.
However, she couldn't suppress her curiosity, and after thinking it over, she finally asked, "You only meet in the game, what about in real life?"
Shi Jin paused for a moment before answering: "In reality, we should just do what needs to be done."
"Won't you miss the other person? After all, the items can only be stored in the system inventory." Jiang Ying rested his chin on his hands, a little resentful: "Last week I ran into a grandson who was following me. If I could summon ghosts in reality, I would have Jiang Yinxue scare him to death."
Jiang Yinxue said indifferently, "You yourself can scare him to death."
"A gentleman does not speak while eating; I do not want to hear you speak."
"You look like this, yet I've never seen you act like a lady." Jiang Yinxue's gaze fell on the sofa opposite where people were being fed, and she turned her head to the other side, puzzled.
"You two only ever meet in the game, just to bicker?" Shi Jinzhe asked without any surprise. "Shouldn't we cherish these good times?"
Props cannot appear in reality, but Sheh can. Sheh is indeed quite different from real props like Jiang Yinxue.
"We've only met in the game, but we've seen each other for seven years."
Shi Jinzhe didn't look in this direction, but only said to Shehe, "If it were me, I would cherish it every moment."
Shekh pushed his hand away: "Even if you're not human, you shouldn't be a peacock."
"..." Jiang Yinxue chuckled twice with a forced smile, "In my time, someone like you had the potential to become a treacherous official."
He stepped on others to show off, and Shekh was the foolish ruler who was so easily misled by the sweet words of treacherous ministers that he lost his way.
"The difference between a treacherous minister and a loyal minister lies in a single thought, and it all depends on how the person in control treats it. Just like how Jiang Ziya tells you the mission requirements, how you act depends entirely on her instructions."
Jiang Yi, standing to the side, said indirectly, "How could I dare to order him around?"
Jiang Yinxue: "She didn't give me specific instructions on what to do. Each time she finished explaining the task requirements, she told me to figure it out myself."
After some trial and error, Shi Jinzhe finally got the answer he wanted: it turned out that the real items couldn't hear the system's mission announcements.
Shekh cannot be retrieved, but she can hear the system announcements; her prop identity is just a cover.
Just then, a creaking sound of metal breaking came from inside the building.
The group immediately became alert.
As the last rays of sunlight faded, the once-silent office building lit up with its main lights.
Under the bright lights, the sound of metal scraping echoed one after another, and from time to time, something could be seen protruding from the flat building blocks.
Gradually, a human-shaped silhouette appeared on the wall.
His neat, straight features were pulled off the wall; he stretched out his arms, then his body, and finally his legs.
A pixelated, blocky figure appeared before the four people in this incredible way.
Immediately afterwards, a second person appeared on the wall.
Then there's the floor, the counter, the ceiling, the road outside the door, and the exterior walls.
Shech even saw a small child jump down from the lampshade of a streetlamp.
The pixelated figures looked around, and when they saw the people sitting on the sofa, they all gathered around it.
Because of their unique physical structure, they walk with a clattering sound, which makes the four people in the hall's heads clatter along with them.
Jiang stood up warily, but joked, "I feel like the people walking towards me aren't human, but a bunch of fast-paced storytellers."
Jiang Yinxue: "Aren't you going to start hitting them? Do you want to become a laughing stock?"
People who had been disassembling and reassembling the various building blocks surrounded him, their faces, which were so disjointed that even their expressions were incoherent, revealed a kind of hostility.
The first attacker charged at Shekh, who was sitting on the outermost side. The sharp metal edge was like a blade. If an ordinary person were hit by such a straight punch from an iron arm, it would be almost like having a layer of flesh scraped off by a vegetable scraper. Just thinking about it hurts.
Unfortunately, Shekh was no ordinary person. She extended a finger, blocking the oncoming arm, and black-gold corrosive liquid began to seep from her fingertip, melting the pixelated man.
[Players who defeat dungeon monsters will receive +1 point.]
Jiang Yu clapped from the side: "Why did you pick the most difficult opponent of all? This spirit of facing difficulties head-on is something we should learn from."
Shi Jinzhe: "Then it's your turn to face the challenge head-on; this will earn you points."
He wove a net with golden vines to block the attacks, lest Shekh be squeezed out of place.
"These are the dungeon monsters the system mentioned; one point for each one."
