Chapter 223 Reality (5)



Shi Xi lay blankly in the mission cabin, her emotions still not settled, as countless images flooded her mind: bustling mountains and bright, vibrant young people.

The familiar yet slightly cold mechanical voice of the cold medicine filled my ears.

[Another S-rank! Shi Xi, we're really consistent!]

【o(≧▽≦)o】

Shi Xi was still sorting through those long-sealed memories. He was certain that it was the world he had once lived in. Connecting it with his last dream... Shi Xi guessed that his mission that time must have failed.

It was also erased.

But the current transmigration bureau isn't so ruthless; even if a mission fails, they just don't pay the wages.

As Shi Xi was pondering this, she heard that Ganmaoling was going offline.

"Wait a moment," Shi Xi suddenly said.

【What's wrong?】

"I'll take you to the repair shop to have it checked," Shi Xi said as she emerged from the mission. "I feel like you have a bug."

【…I don’t have any bugs, don’t go, don’t go】 Seemingly not expecting Shi Xi to do this, Ganmaoling rolled around in the mission cabin.

After these missions, it accumulated a lot of points and exchanged them for a physical form of a human cub.

Right now, she's a tiny, exquisitely beautiful baby, looking absolutely adorable.

This time, Shi Xi didn't soften her heart. She put on her clothes and took it to the repair department. Before leaving, she looked at herself in the mirror and saw that all the lotus flowers on her body had bloomed.

The maintenance department is a dedicated area for the repair system, much like a medical clinic for the performers.

There weren't many people in the maintenance room at the moment, only a few from other departments were in line... Shi Xi didn't know them well, so she quietly joined the line.

Ganmaoling drooped her head, nestled in Shixi's arms.

【888, what are you doing here?】 It seemed that she had met someone familiar. Ganmaoling was in a better mood and even reached out to poke the other's fluffy head.

[Being locked up in the dark room for too long made me nearsighted from playing games] The little leopard, also being held in someone's arms, turned its head and shook its ears.

Shi Xi: "..." Her perked-up ears awkwardly shrank back.

Just then, the tall man standing in front of Shi Xi turned around, glanced at her, and said, "You're back."

"...?" Does he know me?

Shi Xi was puzzled.

However, considering that Ganmaoling probably chatted with 888 quite a bit, it's not surprising that 888's owner knows him.

"Yes." He nodded.

Just then, it was the two of them's turn, and Shi Xi entered the examination room.

"What happened this time?" Seeing the man, the repairman frowned and complained familiarly, "Last time it was from eating too much, the time before that it was from bungee jumping and breaking a bone, and the time before that..."

"I'm nearsighted," the man said. "From playing video games."

There was a hint of doting in his tone.

The repairman frowned. "...Come with me into the treatment room."

"What's wrong with yours again?" the repairman asked Shi Xi before closing the door.

"Let's get a physical exam," Shi Xi said.

"Oh." The repairman breathed a sigh of relief and said to Shi Xi, "Please wait a moment."

...

A few minutes later, 888 and his owner came out of the treatment room.

"Alright, three thousand points, pay here." The repairman waved his hand.

The man's face remained expressionless upon hearing this; he simply hummed in response.

Shi Xi was surprised.

How many?!

He remembered that the last time the cold medicine gave him a cheat code, he only got five points!

After a two-second silence, Shi Xi asked softly, "Cold Remedy, how many points does this body have?"

[Basic model, 699 points]

It has only completed a few small worlds, and its total points are less than a thousand, so it can't afford anything too expensive for the time being.

They're so poor.

The other party paid the bill and left the repair shop.

Shi Xi placed the cold medicine on the examination table, and the repairman scanned the cold medicine from top to bottom with his instrument.

"No problem, it's perfectly fine," the repairman said.

Shi Xi leaned back in her chair and patted the head of the cold medicine. "It's good that you're alright."

He looked at the repairman opposite him and heard that the other party had been here for a long time and knew everything about the Quick Transmigration Bureau.

"Is the Quick Transmigration Bureau always like this?" Shi Xi asked.

Although he didn't remember much, he knew that the benefits of the Quick Transmigration Bureau were incredibly generous.

It's strange that completing a task not only brings rewards and a vacation, but failing a task incurs no penalty.

Of course, if someone resorts to underhanded methods, they will be punished, but it will be within reasonable limits.

So much so that when Shi Xi first entered the Quick Transmigration Bureau, she even felt like she had been deceived.

After all, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Even if there were, it would be a metal discus falling from the sky.

The repairman shrugged. "Of course not." He looked at Shi Xi. "At the beginning, the quick transmigration bureau was no different from human traffickers."

"Human traffickers?" Shi Xi raised an eyebrow in surprise.

He had considered that the previous transmigration bureau might have been a bit harsh, but he never expected him to use such a word to describe it.

Perhaps Shi Xi's surprise was too obvious, so he paused slightly before continuing, "We're recruiting men everywhere to do missions."

The repairman said, "In the past, not many people knew how to repair systems. The systems that made it here were all destroyed directly."

After all, people were barely surviving in that situation, let alone a system that was practically useless.

That's why he remembers the very few people who asked him to repair their systems so clearly.

"And then? What happened?"

The repairman looked at Shi Xi and chuckled, "There's an idiot who led a bunch of lunatics in a rebellion."

Shi Xi: "..." Although she didn't know why, she had a feeling that she had been scolded.

Seemingly finding Shi Xi's expression amusing, he smiled again and said to Shi Xi, "Alright, let's stop chatting, someone's coming."

Shi Xi immediately understood that he meant to kick people out.

So he stood up, picked up the cold medicine sitting obediently on the examination table, and asked, "How many points?"

"No charge," the repairman shook his head.

"?" Shi Xi looked at him, her eyes asking, "Really?"

“After all, you’re poor,” he said with a smile.

Shi Xi: "..." No, is it that obvious?

Shi Xi snorted, turned and left, closing the door behind her.

The repairman watched him leave, his smile fading slightly, and murmured, "Welcome back."

"Fool."
