Chapter 4 Preface (revised) This is human nature.
Lin Xi was stuck in a long line.
At this moment, she had taken off her black mask, revealing her beautiful face. She stood on tiptoe in the team, sniffing the fragrance coming from the front.
When passing by here, Lin Xi accidentally discovered that there was a Dorayaki shop in the snack street that was particularly popular.
So she parked her car nearby and wanted to take some steaming hot Dorayaki back home to eat.
In this world, apart from some characters, only food can make Lin Xi feel real.
The food is cooked in the same way as in the real world, and the taste is very authentic, satisfying Lin Xi's taste buds.
Moreover, the system backpack seems to have a magical freshness-locking function, which can perfectly preserve the flavor of freshly baked Dorayaki.
The Dorayaki here is red bean flavored and filled with soft and sticky rice cakes.
Thinking about what it might taste like, Lin Xi felt very happy.
Fortunately, she can still eat in this world.
The milky soy milk balls and taiyaki next door look good too.
Ai Huihara might be going to school soon. She needs to buy some clothes.
School bags, water cups, lunch boxes and children's umbrellas... these daily necessities cannot be left behind.
Just as Lin Xi was thinking about it, the crowd queuing behind him suddenly became a commotion.
"Hey, stop! Thief!"
A man in a hat rushed through the crowd with a woman's bag tucked under his arm.
Lin Xi: “…”
She glanced at the direction the man was rushing towards, which was the queue of people, so she calmly moved towards the direction he was running.
If anyone dared to disturb her while she was buying food, she would... uh, trip him.
As expected, the thief ran towards Lin Xi. Just as Lin Xi stretched out her foot, someone behind her was faster than her.
A curly-haired lady in high heels gave the thief a clean shoulder throw as he approached.
Lin Xi: Wow.
She retracted her foot, looked at the woman, and gave her a thumbs-up.
After seeing the woman's appearance, Lin Xi's eyes lit up.
What a cool sister.
Big brown waves, blue eyes, bright red lip gloss...
The most important thing is that she looks so specific, she is definitely not an ordinary NPC.
System, I want all the information about this woman within three minutes.
system:……
The elegant and bright woman seemed to notice that Lin Xi was looking at her and smiled at her.
At this moment, Lin Xi noticed out of the corner of his eye that a flash of silver light appeared in the thief's hand that was placed under his body.
"careful!"
She reached out and grabbed the woman's wrist, pulling her towards her and kicking the dagger out of the thief's hand.
Oh my god, thief brother, if three years turn into ten years, you will suffer the consequences.
In the world of science, everyone is full of martial virtues.
The sister next to him reacted quickly and hit the thief with her high heels.
The thief let out a scream.
The police arrived quickly and seemed to be accustomed to this. After thanking the brave passerby, they took the person away.
After watching them leave, Big Wave Sister turned around and looked at Lin Xi with smiling eyes: "Thank you~ If you hadn't reacted in time, I might have been injured now."
"Hey, no need to thank me!" Lin Xi showed a slightly embarrassed expression, "It was just a subconscious reaction. I'm glad I could help you..."
"Don't be modest, you really helped a lot." Big Wave Sister said with a smile, "My name is Shimizu Reiko, what's yours?"
Reiko Shimizu?
Does she appear in the main storyline as well?
Lin Xi had no impression of this person.
"My name is Lin Xi." She extended her hand. "Nice to meet you, Miss Qingshui."
"Huh? What a coincidence! Our names are both related to water! Did you come here specifically to buy Dorayaki?"
"No, I was just passing by. Hey, did Miss Shimizu come here specially?"
"Yeah. I'm very familiar with the local food. Do you want to go shopping with me later? By the way, I'd like to treat you to lunch as a thank you for saving me... There's a super delicious rice bowl nearby. I'm sure you'll love it!"
"Now?" Lin Xi was a little embarrassed. "Sorry, I have something else to do later..."
"Ah," Shimizu Reiko said with a regretful expression, "Okay, then can we make an appointment next time? Please be sure to give me your contact information."
Lin Xi nodded obediently and gave her her cell phone number.
I hope... that rice bowl is really delicious.
By the time Lin Xi threw the packed Dorayaki, soy milk balls and Taiyaki into the system backpack, it was almost noon.
Under Miss Shimizu's enthusiastic offensive, they have already made an appointment for the next meeting.
Although she was embarrassed to trouble Miss Shimizu, but...
Who doesn’t like to be close to a beautiful sister?
The only advantage of traveling to the second dimension is probably that the handsome men and beautiful women there all have stunning looks from all angles.
Well, she admitted that she was obsessed with looks and could not take her eyes off good-looking people.
This is human nature.
Lin Xi opened the door and found that Xiao Ai was not at home.
Although she had expected this, facing the empty room, Lin Xi still subconsciously pursed her lips.
It doesn’t matter, no matter when Haibara Ai comes back, the Dorayaki will be steaming hot.
On the table was a note left for her by Haibara Ai.
The note contained a few words:
"Sister, thank you very much for taking care of me, but I have to go home. My family will worry about me if I go back too late.
PS: The sandwich is delicious.
Lin Xi sighed.
Still not tasty enough.
Otherwise, why would you just leave like that?
But she was very well behaved as she remembered to leave a note for her.
She checked the map and saw the small blue dot representing Haibara Ai at Dr. Agasa's house, and she felt relieved.
Then he locked the door, lay on the sofa, and prepared to complete the newly opened copy while Haibara was not at home.
There are two new copies opened.
『Unfinished』『■■■』
"The organization's research on the APTX series of drugs seems to have begun many years ago, and the secrets hidden within seem even darker than people imagine."
as well as:
『Unfinished』『■■'s long-cherished wish』
"■■ years ago, 'that master' mysteriously disappeared from everyone's sight. Legend has it that only a handful of people in the organization, including ■■, have been able to directly meet 'that master'..."
And why did ■■■■, which reappeared after years of silence, appear in people's vision again? 』
These two copies were made one thirty years ago and the other nineteen years ago.
In addition, there is a small description below the copy:
"The copy archive and the main line archive are not interoperable"
As for the "special identity card" obtained after completing the last mission, Lin Xi took it out and looked at it, and found that it also had restrictions: "It takes effect after entering any copy."
This indirectly confirmed Lin Xi's idea: this should be a prop specially given to her by the system to complete the plot. As for how to complete it, it depends on her own operation.
These two copies appeared after she came into contact with Gin, and they should be related to Gin.
She had to complete the story with Gin in the copy so that Gin could reasonably accept her interception of his tasks and her affectionate name for him.
If you don't create a qualified character that meets the above conditions in the dungeon...
Maybe it's a forced reload? Lin Xi guessed.
After all, the so-called "copies" are things that happened in the past, and the completed plots that happen in the present will not change.
The system can only make the "present" reasonable by constantly revising the plot of the "past".
If the "past" cannot meet the conditions, you can only go back to the past again and again to make the "past" meet the conditions.
"Confirm to enter dungeon '■■■'? The currently ongoing story quest will be paused until the player returns to the current timeline."
Lin Xi hesitated for a moment, took a look at the skill tree, and upgraded Combat, Firearms, Stealth, and Reconnaissance to Lv2.
Fighting: Lv1 (Vulnerable) → Lv2 (Agile)
"Obtained 1 Bone Spirit. Fighting styles are now enabled. Players can choose to light up different fighting styles, and can light up up to two fighting styles at the same time."
『Reconnaissance: Lv0 (Crayfish) → Lv1 (Sharp Eyes and Ears)』
『Get 1 pair of non-prescription glasses』
『Reconnaissance: Lv1 (Sharp Eyes and Ears) → Lv2 (Understanding Intentions)』
"Obtained telescope x1, magnifying glass x1. Clue hints have been enabled. Currently, players can obtain certain clues through observation."
"Hide: Lv1 (Silent) → Lv2 (Evanescent)"
"Obtained Black Leather Boots x1."
"Firearms: Lv0 (Strike Teammates) → Lv2 (Firearms Mastery)"
"Obtain unlimited magazine x1."
It only takes 1,000 experience points to upgrade system skills from Lv0 to Lv1, 3,000 experience points to upgrade to Lv2, and even more to upgrade to Lv3, a full 8,000 experience points.
The further you progress, the harder it is to upgrade, but the corresponding abilities will become stronger after upgrading.
Lin Xi spent 14,000 experience points to upgrade his skills, and kept the remaining 3,000 points for future use.
Before entering the dungeon, she took out the gun from her system backpack and weighed it in her hand. She found that after upgrading her skills, she was now much more familiar with firearms.
Just holding it in her hand, she felt very familiar with it, as if she could aim and shoot at any time.
She shoved the infinite magazine into the gun and put it back into her backpack.
Then she clicked confirm.
