Chen Xu was speechless when he saw the name of the movie. The name that popped up in the system was a comedy, which he had seen before. It was called "The Babysitter 2", a French film that was a bit funny.
To be honest, he has been in this dream for six years. Sometimes when he is tired of studying, he plays games to pass the time. He has never thought about watching movies. He didn't expect that the movie source in the console is still a movie on Earth.
He thought about it and clicked play. He chose to trust the high-tech in the console.
More than an hour passed quickly. After so many years, when he watched the movie again, the plot still made him laugh non-stop.
When he took off his glasses, he smiled so hard that his cheeks were sore.
Look at the time, it's almost noon.
He looked back and saw Luo Xiyun wearing glasses and studying, seemingly unaffected by his laughter. He got up and went back to cook.
I have to say that after watching a comedy, he did feel a lot more relaxed.
Actually, he rarely smiled when he was alone. He was either reading books or doing experiments, or dealing with various affairs of the base, none of which was easy.
Over time, your mentality will also be affected.
"It seems that my previous life was too boring. I have to watch more comedies to relax in the future. Otherwise, I can play more games to combine work and rest." He thought.
In the past six years, he has been cooking for himself every day and his cooking skills have improved greatly. Yang Jinxia and Bai Jinxuan have praised him several times.
Soon, the meal was ready.
As soon as he brought out the dishes, Luo Xiyun came back, just like two years ago, they had a tacit understanding.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
After sitting down, Chen Xu saw Luo Xiyun staring at him and asked, "Is there something on my face?"
She asked, "Did something good happen to you? You look very happy."
Chen Xu said, "Of course I'm happy to have you by my side."
"I didn't see that just now."
Chen Xu smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I've been alone for too long, so my reaction time is longer."
Luo Xiyun couldn't laugh, thinking that he should be nicer to him in the future.
…………
In the afternoon, Chen Xu read for a while, and at three o'clock, he got up and went to the biology laboratory. There was something important to do today.
"Is everything arranged?" He asked Feng Song as soon as he entered.
"It's arranged." Feng Song nodded and replied, turning on the screen in front of him.
A man covered with black scales appeared on the screen. He was the clone wearing parasitic armor. He was clone number two, and he was standing in front of the cave leading to the underground world.
"Go ahead." Feng Song gave the order, and the clone walked into the cave. As he moved, the image on the screen kept changing, showing the scene inside the cave.
In the two years since Luo Xiyun went offline, Feng Song has almost completed his research on the parasite, especially after allowing the clone to come into contact with the parasite and enter the state of parasitic armor. The combination of the two has demonstrated strength that has reached its peak.
According to research, no matter what kind of creature, once it is parasitized by a parasite, its strength will increase significantly, but its rationality will also be affected and its aggressiveness will become extremely strong.
Only clones are unaffected and can retain their sanity.
The clones have all been brainwashed and will absolutely obey Chen Xu's orders.
This time, Chen Xu planned to let the clone enter the underground world for a second exploration.
The name of this game is "Exploration Team". Exploration is the theme, and he has not forgotten it.
He sent clones in after careful consideration. The clones with low levels were useless, and he was reluctant to send the high ones. It was very dangerous to enter the underground world.
Sending robots in would be no different from a direct invasion and would definitely lead to a fight.
After much thought, it was safest to send a clone. After wearing the parasitic armor, he also had a certain degree of self-protection power. Unlike Clone No. 1.
Chen Xu had already laid cables near the cave entrance, so communication was not a problem. However, after entering the cave entrance, especially the half-meter-thick door, all signals would be blocked out.
To solve this problem, we may have to lay cables into the underground world, but that would make too much noise.
After a while, the video signal disappeared, and all they could do next was wait.
For Chen Xu, the worst outcome would be the clones' rebellion.
With the current strength of the base, it is not cost-effective to send robots to attack underground. The underground environment is complicated and who knows if there are any traps. It would be best if the underground people can attack.
However, Chen Xu felt that they were not that stupid.
"Do you think he will betray us?" Chen Xu asked Feng Song as if he was chatting.
Feng Song said, "Based on the previous tests, the chance of betrayal is low. I am more worried that he will die in there."
"You have prepared so many new medicines for him, he won't die so easily." Chen Xu is very confident in the clone.
In the past two years, Feng Song has developed more than a dozen new drugs based on the characteristics of the parasite, each with its own effect, enough to keep the clone alive at a critical moment.
"By the way, do you know anything about psychology?"
"I don't understand. I'm a biology student."
"Forget it, just do your thing."
Chen Xu said this and left the biological laboratory. He originally wanted to go to the medical center, but then he thought better of it. He went straight back to the study room, put on his glasses, and continued to open the psychological intervention system.
This time, it was another comedy movie, and he just clicked play, just to relax.
…………
When cooking dinner, Luo Xiyun took the initiative to help in the kitchen. Cooking together might not necessarily make them more efficient, but Chen Xu quite liked this warm feeling.
"Chen Xu." Luo Xiyun, who was washing vegetables, suddenly asked, "How long do you plan to stay here?"
"Until the end of the game. It could be decades, or it could be more than a decade. It's hard to say."
Luo Xiyun asked worriedly, "After such a long time, aren't you worried that you will be out of touch with reality after returning to it?"
A person's life is only a few decades long. Chen Xu will live in a dream for decades. When he returns to reality, his mental age will have already become that of a middle-aged or elderly person. Can he still live like a normal person?
"This game has an anti-addiction system that can minimize such side effects," Chen Xu explained.
Luo Xiyun felt something was wrong and said, "I still think that decades is too long."
Chen Xu said, "Well, I promise you, as long as I have mastered the knowledge, I will complete the task as soon as possible and end this game."
