"Can I say that the poor in this world are doing pretty well? They even have single rooms, and there aren't many people there."
After Yin Zhu casually finished speaking to Hirano Shan, he immediately received a meaningful look from the latter: "I feel ashamed from the bottom of my heart that you are in such a terrible situation. Although I have tried my best, some things cannot be resolved better, so please accept my apologies once again."
This long string of words left Yin Zhu's mind blank, and it took her several moments to realize what it meant.
"Then you should thank me a lot; this is the best house I could find for you."
"Aren't you tired of talking like that?"
"Whether a person is in a high position or in a low position, they should not lose their due courtesy."
Hirano San's words seem to make some sense.
But Yin Zhu absolutely cannot stand having someone like that next to her in the future, talking to her like that every day!
Even back on Earth, Hirano Sane spoke fluent Chinese. Yin Zhu quickly figured out why: Hirano Sane had a serious idol image to maintain, and when surrounded by the people of Japan, she would try her best to keep a good image.
This was for some purpose of hers, and now it has become a habit.
Hirano Shan seemed to think there was nothing wrong with that way of speaking, piling on honorifics. If Yin Zhu wanted to hear some human language, it seemed she would have to play the villain herself.
Yin Zhu sighed and grabbed Hirano Shan's neck with her left hand.
"Aaaaaahhhhhh—"
"You despicable Chinese! What are you doing!"
"Let go of my angel!"
Not only did the live stream in Japan explode, but Anzhi also received countless messages from Japan urging China to remind Yin Zhu not to harm their chosen one.
"Tsk." An Zhi almost laughed.
Putting aside the fact that Longguo would never place such a meaningless reminder, Yin Zhu wouldn't be so brainless as to hurt Hirano Shan during a live stream.
If I had to say something, the two of them actually had a certain tacit understanding.
Hirano Shan, whose neck was being choked by Yin Zhu, panicked for only a moment before quickly regaining her composure. A smile played on her lips, and this relaxed and casual demeanor was like a spring breeze, instantly soothing the hearts of the Japanese audience.
"If you use honorifics again, I'll strangle you."
Yin Zhu didn't care at all whether her actions would cause any serious consequences. War between the two countries? Impossible.
Besides, the Dragon Kingdom isn't so easy to bully.
Hirano Shan nodded, agreeing. Yin Zhu then released her hand, noticed the red mark on her neck, and gently touched it: "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
Hirano Sane's mental state was so stable that it seemed as if nothing had just happened, which made Yin Zhu quite envious.
What should I say?
Japanese anime certainly has a certain realism.
Hearing that the three people who had been standing at the apartment door were coming in, Hirano San grabbed Yin Zhu's wrist and led her up the stairs into her room. The room was still dirty and squalid, but the only redeeming quality was that because there wasn't much stuff in it, it wasn't completely chaotic.
Once the footsteps of the three people disappeared, Hirano San breathed a sigh of relief: "We don't have a [Good Spirit Officer]. If the natives see us, they will report us."
"What are those?" Yin Zhu couldn't see clearly how the three people differed from normal people because of the distance.
Hirano San pointed to the back of her hand: "It's something used to monitor everyone. The three of them were talking about this just now. They said they saw a suspicious man who went out without a benevolent spirit, and he reported him directly, getting a small sum of money. He can add a piece of meat to his meal today."
"...Speaking of which, we don't have it, and neither does the person who was reported earlier...Could he be the chosen one of Blue Star?" Yin Zhu suddenly had a bad feeling.
Almost simultaneously, Anzhi gave the order: "Find out which country's chosen one just had an accident."
"Perhaps." Hirano San's attitude was one of indifference towards the lives and deaths of others. "Not every chosen one can become a suitable partner. As for his unfortunate death, I..."
"Then how do we get one over here?" Yin Zhu interrupted her polite speech abruptly. "Generally speaking, in science fiction works, those things are usually one-to-one, right?"
Hirano San also fell silent for a moment.
After considering the information he had, Yin Zhu patted her shoulder and said, "How about this? Your talent is called something like Dream. Could you enter a dream and help us extract the worldview of this world from the natives? That way, our actions will be more planned."
The rules of the apartment only offer a glimpse into a very small part of this world. The apartment and the manager are a team, while the oversight bureau is clearly an agency responsible for monitoring power.
Besides, Yin Zhu knew nothing about what people in this world ate, what they wore, the level of technology, what jobs they did, what the social structure was like, how the three major industries were developing, whether there were any other places besides Vena City, and whether the outside world was the same as Vena City.
The more advanced the technology, the more necessary it is to wage information warfare.
The enemy is in the shadows, while the chosen ones are in the light. Since everyone in this world is under surveillance, the chosen ones are already at a disadvantage. They cannot afford to lose too much information, otherwise, let alone pass the game, simply surviving without being captured will be a major problem.
