Chapter 120 The System is a Drama Queen Too



"I didn't have any money last time, so I didn't know how to express my gratitude. Now I have some money in my pocket, although not much, but I can still treat you to a small snack. Would you do me the honor?" Long Ying invited warmly.

She'll invite the boss over for a chance encounter later, and then she'll have achieved her KPI for the month.

Jiang Shuyin refused: "I plan to eat something else. You have so many cats, and the expenses will be considerable in the future. Let's save money where we can."

Long Ying's face stiffened, feeling that she had been looked down upon.

She has no money now, but she will definitely have money in the future.

She was able to buy a seaside villa with her own abilities before, and she certainly can now.

Since they weren't going to include her, Long Ying decided not to waste her time: "Fine, I'll walk the cat here. You guys go play, bye~"

After Jiang Shuyin and Xie Yin walked away, Long Ying sent a text message to her boss.

You can add a note when sending a message on your phone. Long Ying's note for her boss was "Sponsor".

Long Ying: They've arrived and headed towards the food court.

Long Ying: I guess we'll have to leave right after we finish eating, so we need to hurry!

After sending the message, she scrolled through the chat history, which was all sent by her alone.

She also sent good morning and good night messages, but there was no response after that. However, she was not warned or blocked, so Long Ying persisted in sending them until now.

Unexpectedly, the client didn't reply to either of the two messages sent.

Could it be that feelings have faded?

Long Ying secretly followed, and when she saw Jiang Shu leading the way to the innermost part of the restaurant, she immediately realized that she was going to eat at that ridiculously expensive high-end restaurant.

No wonder he didn't bring her along.

"That person has been watching you from behind."

Jiang Shu used her mental energy to look behind her: "She might also be here to eat, so let's ignore her."

They walked straight into the upscale restaurant, where a personal attendant led them to a private room. Since they looked like a couple, the attendant who offered to serve them wasn't particularly good-looking.

The restaurant, named Xun, is surrounded by greenery and has created a tranquil environment in the center of the shopping plaza.

All ingredients are freshly produced; we make whatever is available each day, so customers don't need to order.

Do either of you have any dietary restrictions?

Jiang Shuyin took a sip of the tea they poured for her: "I don't eat cilantro, and I want it spicy."

Xie Yin: "Bring another pot of water."

The teapot didn't contain tea; instead, it contained cucumbers, carrots, and some unidentifiable herbs. The brewed water tasted like cantaloupe.

The male waiter wrote down their requests and went to the kitchen to report them.

There were several small dishes of appetizers on the table. Jiang Shuyin took a bite and then put down her chopsticks.

It's too salty; eating too much will make me thirsty.

While waiting for the food, she could also practice controlling her mental energy.

After she closed her eyes, Xie Yin looked over.

This scene was witnessed by others, and he smashed the solid wood wooden table in the office.

"You want to take everything from me?"

The next second, the nano-monitoring signal was interrupted, and the screen suddenly went black.

Jiang Shuyin opened her eyes and asked, "I just spotted an unusual light spot. Could it be a mutated mosquito? It died as soon as I touched it."

She was just using her mental power to weave a net when the floating specks of light were accidentally intercepted by her and immediately turned into black ash and disappeared.

Xie Yin: "It's technology; someone is watching us."

Jiang Shuyin frowned: "You noticed it all along? Why didn't you take action?"

Xie Yin smiled and said, "He wants to see it."

Jiang Shu felt helpless; what was so interesting about eating? She felt a little uncomfortable.

After waiting a while, the dishes were served one after another. They were expensive for a reason. The shrimp had a hint of sweetness and were especially bouncy.

The greens were crisp and refreshing, and the braised eggplant had a meaty flavor; it was soft and went perfectly with rice.

Xie Yin ate a lot with her, but he rarely took the dishes she liked from her.

After the meal, the restaurant gave them a small gift: a car air freshener.

"The sun will be out these next couple of days, and there will be unpleasant smells on the road. This is an electronic air freshener; it can be heated to purify the air of odors. I hope you two will like it."

Jiang Shu accepted the gift and thanked her.

On the way out, I saw Long Ying and nodded to her from a distance.

Before she could get any closer, Jiang Shuyin turned and left.

She and Xie Yin still needed to go to the Superpowered Persons' Office. Now all five bases had launched smartphones, with a unified brand and manufacturer, using low-end chips in the phones, allowing users to make video calls and play games online even without a network signal.

Anyone can apply with their ID card at one of the five designated bases.

Anshi belongs to the Southern Base. Jiang Shuyin is going to go and complete the procedures to pick up the mobile phone now. She and Xie Yin have a very smooth procedure. They can just make an appointment to pick it up on the wristband.

The more complicated case involves her mother. She learned that proof of relationship and identification number were required to process the application, so Jiang Shuyin plans to bring her mother in person next time.

"Activating your phone requires real-name authentication, and there's a surprise inside!" That's what the staff member said.

Jiang Shuyin entered her name and ID number in the office. Superpowered individuals also need to bind their wristband numbers.

After successful authentication, the phone will remain silent for three seconds before officially powering on.

Facial recognition successful. A glowing orb popped up on the screen: "Hello, I am your phone manager. If you need anything in the future, you can call me by my name. Would you like me to change my name?"

The staff member next to him laughed out loud: "Isn't it smart? This is very sensitive, even more powerful than the old Siri and Xiao Ai. It can handle a lot of complex commands and can even help with game AFK. When I had diarrhea before, the phone manager even helped me with some inquiries."

Jiang Shu asked curiously, "Aren't you worried that it will replace your job?"

The staff member waved his hand: "I'm a permanent employee. Besides, only a human being would do something like gathering people for meetings and taking photos."

Jiang Shuyin: "..." Was she being sarcastic?

She stared at the ball of light on her phone. The color of the ball of light on the screen kept changing, and the chat box she had just spoken was also flickering, like a defective product inexplicably lagging.

Then, the light sphere silently outputs a message; once her pupils see the message, the message immediately shatters.

[Host, for better communication, I've taken over the identity of the phone manager. From now on, I can contact you anytime, anywhere.]

Currently, there are three unread messages. Would you like to read/claim your reward now?

Jiang Shu chuckled and selected "Contact me later".

She looked up and joked with the staff, "Do you know how to make your phone manager look smarter?"

The staff member looked bewildered: "How do you do that? Wasn't the program set up before the product left the factory?"

After changing the name of her phone's security software, Jiang Shuyin called out to it: "System, what task do I need to complete next?"

The system, ever the drama queen, said: "Host, your next plan is to go home. A route has been planned for you, taking at least 7 hours and 34 minutes, via..."

The staff clapped and laughed: "You're really talented! Changing the name like that really gives it that feel. I'm also addicted to changing my name to be the protagonist of a system novel."
