At noon, Chen Xu's maintenance worker level was upgraded to level 3. After finishing his work, he walked to the nearest room, sat at the table, opened the refrigerator and took a look. There were seven or eight bags of nutritious meals inside.

In this case, there should be enough food. He took out a bag from his pocket, unscrewed it and started eating.

"By the way, what should I call you?"

The voice came from the wall next to him, "My code name is Taichu."

Chen Xu couldn't help but ask, "Do you know a colleague named Taiji?"

"Tai Chi is the code name for the last generation of super-intelligent computers."

I really know him.

Chen Xu wondered, is there any connection with the previous dream world?

He asked tentatively, "By the way, I forgot to ask, where are we here? A secret base? Or something else?"

"Your clearance is too low to tell you."

Chen Xu swallowed the last bite of his nutritious meal, threw away the packaging, and said, "Then let's think of a way to increase our authority."

"According to regulations, after a maintenance worker's level is upgraded once, he must wait half a year before he can apply again." Taichu replied.

Chen Xu frowned when he heard this, which means that the upgrade of the maintenance worker's level was temporarily blocked.

He asked, "Is there any other way?"

"Yes, if you can learn more knowledge and master more important skills. After passing the assessment, you can be transferred to a more important department and gain higher authority."

Chen Xu scratched his head. When it mentioned learning knowledge, he remembered his experience in the second dream. At that time, he spent a lot of time studying, but achieved little results.

He said, “How long will it take to learn?”

“Through learning machines, the learning process can be effectively shortened.”

"Learning machine?" Chen Xu's heart skipped a beat when he heard the term. "What is that?"

"A learning machine is a machine that helps humans learn. It is a technology that instills knowledge into the brain in a state similar to hypnosis. It can effectively enable the human brain to memorize a large amount of knowledge in a short period of time."

Chen Xu's heart was pounding, knowing that his luck had finally come. This learning machine was the most valuable item to him.

He couldn't take anything out of his dream, except knowledge. As long as he wrote it down, it belonged to him. The problem was that he didn't have a photographic memory, so it was a waste to use his precious dream time on inefficient learning.

However, with a magical tool like a learning machine, everything is different.

"However," Taichu changed his tone and said, "To use the learning machine, you need to pay 10,000 credit points per hour. And you only have 723 credit points in your account."

Chen Xu knew it wasn't that simple. Given the nature of this game, he would have to complete the task first before he could get the reward. He said, "In other words, what I need to do now is to make money."

"Yes."

Chen Xu said, "Tell me, what good ways do you have to make money quickly?"

"I will sort out the tasks you can take, from high to low according to hourly wages." Taichu said, and a light curtain appeared on the wall. It listed a long list.

Chen Xu looked at the first one. "Cleaning up sewer debris, 150 points per hour? In other words, even if I work 24 hours a day without sleep, I can only earn 3,600 points?"

"You are wrong. We have an eight-hour workday here, and overtime is limited to five hours a day."

Chen Xu was a little depressed. This was too little. It would take at least several days to accumulate 10,000 credit points. He asked, "What is the hourly wage for overtime?"

"Double the salary."

That's less than 3,000 points, it only took 10,000 points in four days.

He stood up and said, "Well, let's get started."

………………

Just as Chen Xu was struggling in the sewer, on a planet more than ten light years away.

Yang Jinxia woke up and opened her eyes to find that she was no longer in the original room. She turned over and sat up, looking around, looking at this very familiar place, and a smile appeared on her lips again.

It was a small space with only a bed, a table and a large cabinet.

To be precise, it's a carriage.

When she turned to look at the cabinet and found it was empty, she couldn't help but frowned, "Where is the person?"

After a while, her brows relaxed and her expression returned to normal. She walked to the door, grasped the handle and pushed hard. With a creak, the door opened.

"Owner."

Outside, there was a metal robot guarding. It was glowing with metallic light and had green light where its eyes were. When it saw her come out, it saluted and shouted.

S01, the core chip was destroyed by her, and finally it was the combat robot that was repaired by her.

Seeing it, Yang Jinxia's guess was confirmed. She got off the carriage and asked, "How long have I been in there?"

S01 answered, "Seven hours and thirteen minutes."

"No one has been in there before?" she asked.

"No."

She nodded and asked, "What about 2003?"

"I'm preparing breakfast for you."

She didn't ask any more questions and walked outside. S01 followed behind her, about four or five meters away.

This is a hillside with a clear view and robots guarding all around.

Yang Jinxia walked to one of the slopes, looked back, and saw a convoy of more than a dozen vehicles.

She looked up at the sky, and the thick clouds seemed to have never changed.

She came back again, more than half a year later. But here, it seemed that only seven hours had passed. Here, it was exactly as it was before she left, and the convoy was still in the same position.

Except one thing, Chen Xu disappeared.

Originally, Chen Xu should have been lying in that human body freezer, but now he has disappeared out of thin air.

Where on earth did he go? At this moment, she noticed a small red dot in the upper right corner of her sight. When her attention fell on it, an interface popped up with her name, a number, and points.

At the very end, it indicated the location of her lover, more than ten light years away.

This discovery made her very happy. She finally knew where Chen Xu was. Then, she became a little annoyed, "You ran away more than ten light years away?"

After a while, she walked in the direction of the convoy, thinking to herself, "No matter where you run to, I will find you."

PS: I moved house and had too many things to do. I was busy all day and only had time to write after dinner. I will write the second chapter right away, around 12 o'clock.
