Chapter 66 Intermission
In the room, a large screen made up of small grids was playing a flickering game. Each small grid was an introduction to a different game, like an endlessly rotating TV program.
Su Yue and Cang Zhi stood at both ends of the room.
In order not to appear to care too much, Su Yue deliberately did not stand in the corner, but also kept a considerable distance.
When he saw Cang Zhi now, he felt very complicated.
He originally wanted to normalize his relationship with Cangzhi, but Cangzhi ignored him once during the entire game copy. The difference in treatment from the previous copy was obvious, and he really couldn't help but care.
In addition to the puppet causing trouble, he really couldn't be as calm as before when facing Cang Zhi. He originally wanted to leave, but inexplicably felt that Cang Zhi's tone of voice was a bit pitiful, so he softened his heart and let the person in.
I don’t know why, but even though we’re so far apart, Cangzhi’s presence is still particularly strong.
There was a subtle and awkward atmosphere between the two of them, like exes meeting again.
…Although it was indeed goodbye to the ex.
But it was obvious that Cangzhi didn't care, and Suyue didn't care that much either, so the atmosphere shouldn't be so awkward.
never mind.
Su Yue didn't think about it any further. The more he thought about it, the more embarrassed he felt. Besides, if he was the only one who felt this way - which was quite likely - then he might as well just die.
I still have to say, it’s all the puppet’s fault.
The scientific name of the doll should be "God-made Assistant". Generally speaking, the appearance will be chosen to look like the pet in the game. Only Su Yue made a human-shaped one. In addition, this human-shaped one inherited the appearance and part of the personality of the main god, so it is more advanced than ordinary ones.
Su Yue originally planned to go check out the puppet after the game was over, because the puppet had improved so rapidly between the two copies.
But then he thought again, the dolls were turned off during the game breaks, and Su Yue was not sure what he would see if he went to see them. He was quite particular about this.
For example, if he sees a pupa after going there, he will definitely not be able to use the doll as his "boyfriend" the next time he enters the game.
So forget it.
Unexpectedly, Cang Zhi actually took the initiative to speak.
The main god who spoke first when there was nothing important to do was as rare as the last cut of the shopping app Pinduoduo in the human world. Su Yue was a little surprised.
"Did the last game go well?" Cang Zhi asked.
He added, "I suddenly had something urgent to do and haven't had a chance to check the management system. I apologize if I missed the message."
Su Yue had originally thought, when he heard him ask this question, that you were asking about something irrelevant. He was already feeling annoyed, but Cang Zhi's words made him feel a little better.
At least others have reasons, not because they hate him. No one wants to be hated.
"It's okay." Su Yue said, "I can't stand it if you're still like the first one."
Cang Zhi: “…That’s right.”
…
The two were silent for a while.
Taking the initiative to speak is already an extremely enthusiastic sign for the Lord God.
Su Yue didn't want to owe him anything, so he planned to say something in return.
He politely glanced at Cangzhi, and coincidentally, he saw the book Cangzhi was holding.
Research Report on the Application Scope, Learning Ability and Potential Development of Shenzao Assistant
Su Yue:...?
.
"Why are you looking at this thing?" Su Yue was a little surprised. "Do you want to get a divine assistant?"
Cangzhi's style of doing things is definitely that of a loner, and the nature of his current job doesn't seem to require an assistant.
"Almost." Cang Zhi was rarely vague in his words, and even put the book behind him.
He cleared his throat. "I'm researching more personalized applications for the God-Made Assistants, to see if I can develop new uses for them beyond combat assistance."
"Oh." This Su Yue is very familiar, "Of course."
"Do you know a lot about it?" Cang Zhi looked at Su Yue, "I heard that you seem to have brought your own assistant into the game."
In Su Yue's mind, the faces of Cangzhi and the doll suddenly overlapped, and then scenes like resting one's arms and touching one's chest muscles appeared in his mind.
He choked violently and replied with a cough, "I don't understand, I don't understand."
"Can you tell me about your assistant?" Cang Zhi asked again.
"There's really nothing to say. My usage is a little different from yours." Su Yue was afraid that Cang Zhi would ask more and get out of the question, so he spoke in a firm tone, "I can't reveal my identity in that environment. Anyway, I don't know much about it, so you should look it up in the book."
Cang Zhi's expression was complicated: "...Oh, okay."
He then asked, "Is the assistant important to you?"
"Very important," Su Yue replied. To him, the puppet Cang Zhi was not just an intelligent assistant, but also a partner. Just imagining the scenario of something happening to the puppet in the game made him furious. "If anything happened to my assistant, I would expose the person who caused it to death."
Cang Zhi: “…”
Cang Zhi wanted to ask me if I accidentally replaced your assistant, and if that would mean he got into trouble. But he didn't dare to ask.
Su Yue's attitude clearly showed that he welcomed the puppet but not the real person. He hadn't done anything wrong with the puppet's shell. And no one knew if he would replace the puppet next time. What if he didn't? Everything would just be as if nothing had happened, and it wouldn't ruin Su Yue's mood.
He had made Su Yue unhappy many times and didn't want this to happen again.
Cang Zhi said timidly: "Oh."
Su Yue glanced at Cang Zhi and thought to himself, why is this person so weird?
.
Now Cang Zhi didn't dare to talk about the assistant anymore and took the initiative to change the subject.
"I'll arrange for an assistant to be on duty next time. If I have something urgent to do during the next game and can't leave, the assistant will help me keep an eye on your situation."
Su Yue didn't want to be too sensitive, but he had to think about it.
Especially in front of Cang Zhi, he has never been able to play dumb.
"You sound like you know you'll have an emergency next time." He smiled. "I guess you can't predict emergencies in advance."
Cang Zhi: “…”
Cang Zhi said: "After an accident, we must be prepared just in case."
That's pointless, are you treating him like a child? Su Yue thought.
If there are any other arrangements, then just tell him. He didn't cry or make a fuss and insist that Cang Zhi stare at him.
But then I thought about it again, they didn't have a special relationship, and there was no rule that required me to tell the 100% truth to my colleagues.
So Su Yue nodded and said, "I understand. But you don't need to send a deputy. I'm too lazy to switch out of the game to reply to messages."
"But I have to ensure your safety." Cang Zhi said.
Su Yue thought, who are you to me? Are you here to protect my safety?
But he was no longer the sharp-tongued man he used to be, so he smiled and said, "Thank you."
Then he said, "I'm leaving now."
Cang Zhi said obediently: "Yes."
Then he said, "It's cold outside, wear more clothes."
Su Yue smiled and said, "That's not something you need to worry about."
The temper in this sentence is very obvious.
In fact, the previous sentence is already very obvious.
Cang Zhi was not sure whether his words would intensify the conflict or ease it, and he kept hesitating.
But when Su Yue was about to walk out, he finally decided to explain.
"I'm really not sure if I'll be okay." Cang Zhi said, looking at Su Yue's back. "Last time, it happened so suddenly. I was taken away without any preparation. I still don't understand what happened. I don't know if the same thing will happen next time."
"You definitely won't believe me if I say this." Cang Zhi began to give up on himself. He rarely spoke so many words, and he felt a little confused after saying so much. "But it's really like this, I'm not lying to you."
Su Yue paused for a moment.
He didn't turn around, but his voice sounded a little gentler: "I understand."
.
When Su Yue walked outside, the little god was nervously peeking through the door. Seeing Su Yue coming out with a stern face, he was frightened and stood at attention with his hands and eyes lowered: "Lord God! I was wrong. I didn't dare to ask the Lord God and just followed his schedule... I beg Lord God to be magnanimous and show mercy!"
Su Yue thought about Cang Zhi's usual icy face. If the little god really dared to ask him where he was going, there would be something fishy going on. He was not the kind of person who would vent his anger on others.
And now I'm not that angry anymore.
Su Yue waved his hand: "It's okay."
"That's good." The little god said with a smile, "Master God, you left so early. Do you have any plans for the future?"
This is about entertainment.
Most gods are serious, but some of them play very crazy. In the eyes of most gods, Su Yue is one of those who play very crazy, although he is not at all.
"What arrangements did you make?" Su Yue smiled. "I'm on business trips every day. When I come back, there's no one to talk to. I can just stay by myself."
The little god was a little surprised, and nodded timidly: "Then enjoy your meal, Lord God."
Su Yue endured for a long time before asking him whether he had worked in a restaurant before being transferred here.
After walking a few steps outside, Su Yue suddenly remembered that he was so busy battling with Cang Zhi that he forgot to check the themes and scores of the other games marked with bugs in red, except for the haunted school. But it wasn't particularly important, so Su Yue was too lazy to go back.
.
Su Yue's life as a god was actually not as miserable as he said. At least there was Qi Wujiu, who worked as a divine teacher in the Academy of Classics. It was a high-ranking but leisurely job.
Sure enough, when he got home, Qi Wujiu was already standing at his door with a pot and ingredients.
Ever since Su Yue dragged him down to the human world once, Qi Wujiu learned how to eat hotpot.
It would be a bit too lonely to eat hotpot alone, so as soon as Su Yue came back, he dragged Su Yue to eat hotpot.
It just so happened that Su Yue had something to ask him, so he brought him home.
I didn't expect that before I even asked any questions, Qi Wujiu started to find fault.
.
Qi Wujiu was cooking hot pot on the first floor. Su Yue went upstairs to change clothes. When she was standing on the stairs, she heard Qi Wujiu say in a very gossipy tone, "Your ex-boyfriend came to my place today."
"Ah." Su Yue answered him, "What did he do?"
"Borrowing books, what else can I do?" Qi Wujiu said, "Is it really impossible for you two?"
Su Yue expressionlessly dropped an ice cube from the second floor to freeze the hot pot Qi Wujiu had just lit. "Why are you bringing up something else?"
"No, I sincerely hope you can get back together." Qi Wujiu silently released his palm fire, battling with Su Yue's Bing Ning. "I'm a face lover, you two are so pleasing to the eye standing together."
Su Yue: “Oh.”
The poor hot pot was in a Schrödinger's frozen state, with the butter turning into soup and then into lumps.
"And I think he still cares about you." Qi Wujiu said, "When he was borrowing a book from me today, he spent twenty minutes on something that could have been done in two minutes, flipping through a bunch of useless books. It's obvious that he wanted to ask me about you, but was too embarrassed to ask."
"..." Su Yue said, "You've been too idle in the Academy of Classics and read too many romance novels in the human world."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door.
Aside from Qi Wujiu, few people came to see Su Yue. Su Yue was stunned for a moment and was about to go downstairs to open the door when Qi Wujiu had already taken the initiative to run over and open the door himself. Seeing the little god from the Supervisory Office standing at the door, he was stunned for a moment: "Eh? Who are you?"
The little god was stunned: "Master Divine Master!"
This little god was in awe of the gods in higher positions, and his knees almost gave way and he knelt down again.
Qi Wujiu lifted the long, snow-white hair on his temples and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?"
"I-I'm here to see Master Shangshen. I might have knocked on the wrong door." The little god was incoherent. "Master, I-I-I..."
"I'm here." Su Yue said, "What's the matter?"
As he spoke, he walked down from the second floor.
"Lord God!" When the little god followed the voice and saw Su Yue, his eyes almost filled with tears, and he quickly moved to the side.
Only then did Su Yue see that he was holding a dog. The dog had long, light golden hair that trailed on the ground. It was silky and elegant, very much like the Afghan hound in the shampoo commercials.
Su Yue:?
The little god stammered, "The Lord God said that the divine teacher of the Academy of Classics—"
Qi Wujiu pointed at his nose: "Me?"
"Oh no!" the little god said immediately, "Speaking of the God of Rain——"
Su Yue: "The one who fell from the cloud when it was raining a few days ago and is still lying in the hospital ward?"
"No, no, that's not it!" The little god frantically changed his words, "Anyway, the Lord God told me to just name some god and gave him this dog. He has no place to keep it, so he asked if you could help take it in! If you're bored, this dog can keep you company!"
After finishing speaking, Xiaoshen: "..."
I should think about where I will be buried tonight.
Su Yue: "..."
He staggered and thought that this broken staircase really needed to be repaired.
Qi Wujiu hummed a song and slowly heated up his hot pot.
