Chapter 69 The Campus Genius Used as Cannon Fodder (Part 33) White Flesh...
The white-fleshed sweet potato was soft and powdery, but a bit dry. Shen Zechen ate most of it, drank a cup of water, and was almost full.
While peeling chestnuts, he asked Lin You, "Did you waste two points again?"
"It's not a waste. We didn't use this, so I can keep it. Although it's unusable now, I can exchange it for something from another system."
After becoming familiar with the various system rules, Lin You became increasingly meticulous in her calculations. The secondhand market with the trash can icon allowed her to recycle all kinds of garbage.
An unused protective shield like hers is still valuable inside; it can be exchanged for quite a few things.
However, since the protective shield couldn't be stored, Lin You replaced it with pills.
Similar to the weight loss pills in the previous world's system, Lin You switched to height-increasing pills, which made her grow five centimeters taller within a month of taking them.
Just as Shen Zechen was about to ask what he could exchange it for, he saw a medicine bottle appear in his hand. The words "increase height" on the medicine bottle made his eyes widen.
"Ze-ge, eat up, try to grow taller before you get a girlfriend."
There was only one pill in the medicine bottle. Shen Zechen hesitated for a while before finally putting the pill in his mouth. The pill melted in his mouth, and it was not bitter at all, but had a slightly sweet aftertaste.
Shen Zechen poured himself another glass of water, then childishly leaned against the door and drew a height line on himself with a pen.
On the other side, Director Zhou looked at the sloppy cover of the mini-program, which didn't even have a name yet. While submitting the report, he picked out someone who could draw from the group of people who had called him today to be the graphic designer.
This is their Dark Lord's debut performance, after all; how can they be so perfunctory?
As for that bizarre alarm clock, it has been completely ignored by Director Zhou. It has already been sold and Shen Zechen's name is not on it.
The graphic designer, whom Director Zhou casually grabbed, was skilled in traditional Chinese painting. After creating a cover and inner pages for the mini-program in the style of traditional Chinese ink painting, he even personally named it "Insightful Observation".
Shen Zechen slept all day and was full of energy. After taking the pill, he became interested in the second-hand market that Lin You had mentioned.
The items in the secondhand market, just like its icon suggests, represent the recycling and reuse of waste.
Many of the items are small commodities, sold through barter. You can find the same things in Chu Nanfeng's Golden Finger Mall here.
After hearing about the effects of the pregnancy-preserving pill, Shen Zechen was very tempted. However, the pill could only be bought with one point. Just as he was thinking about other ways to earn points, another small bottle was stuffed into his hand.
Lin You bought four pregnancy-preserving pills directly, and counted on her fingers: "Two for your family and two for Mengmeng's family, that should be enough, right?"
Then she turned around and bought two more life-saving pills. Shen Zechen hurriedly stopped her: "That's enough, Youyou, you're not allowed to buy anything else!"
He rubbed his forehead, utterly exhausted: "Can't you be a little more careful! If a future task target pretends to be pitiful and begs you for something, are you going to empty your pockets?"
"I'm not that stupid. I didn't spend many points. Don't worry, Brother Ze, I know what I'm doing!" Lin You said nonchalantly.
"You've already spent fifty points in this world!" Shen Zechen was extremely annoyed. Did you even know the exact amount?
Lin You stared blankly at the 180 points she had left. She quietly did the math and realized that she had indeed spent a bit too much.
"What other ways can you earn these points?" Shen Zechen asked, noticing that she had earned significantly more points than in the previous world.
"There are also merit points, faith points, and luck points that can be exchanged." Lin You explained these three points honestly.
Then, Shen Zechen dragged her to work. Many of the functions of the mini-program needed further improvement. Shen Zechen grabbed Lin You and put her name in the position of mini-program creator.
As Director Zhou was familiarizing himself with the features of "Insightful Insight," a creator badge suddenly appeared and was prominently displayed on the homepage, bearing two large names: 【Dark Lord】【Lin You】.
Dark Lord likes to show off, so it's normal for him to do something like this. But who is this Lin You? Could he be Shen Zechen's apprentice, someone with decent skills?
Such talent could be brought to work in the technical department.
Upon hearing Director Zhou's question, Shen Zechen coughed lightly: "There's no apprentice here. I was just joking with Xiao Wang and we used two computers."
As for Lin You, that's the name of my system, so it's considered a creator, right?
Director Zhou had nothing to say and could only go along with his wishes. After testing, "Insightful Observation" was quickly popularized, and clues were found for many old cases.
As wanted criminals across the country were arrested one after another, "Insightful Insight" gradually spread, and under its deterrent effect, the crime rate dropped significantly.
Mr. and Mrs. Gu, who were far away on the island, finally received the notice that they could go back. While they breathed a sigh of relief, they were also a little reluctant to leave this resort.
They hadn't enjoyed such a leisurely and carefree life for decades.
Even with Yun Shu by their side, it didn't stop Gu Jin and Shen Shumeng from getting to know each other better; the trio was unilaterally split into two teams.
Yun Shu looked at the two people walking ahead, heads close together, hand in hand, whispering to each other, and felt quite helpless. She couldn't be a third wheel forever!
Although Shen Shumeng and Gu Jin took her out to play, anyone with a discerning eye knows that young couples should be given private space. Gu's mother has said a few things to her, both openly and subtly.
Yun Shu really didn't want to be misunderstood like this. Whether it was a misunderstanding that she liked Gu Jin or a misunderstanding that she liked Shen Shumeng, it was not a good thing!
She told Shen Zechen about the situation, and after thinking about it, Shen Zechen agreed to let her tell his younger sister her identity, and that he would never let her act alone.
Hearing his tone, Yun Shu's lips twitched. She had a feeling that this man was deliberately trying to make Gu Jin uncomfortable.
When it was time to eat, Aunt Gu personally served food to Yun Shu and held her hand, saying with a smile, "Little Yun, I feel so close to you when I see you, like I'm seeing my own daughter."
"Your aunt has two necklaces she wore when she was younger, which she can't wear anymore, but I think they would suit you perfectly. Come to my room and try them on after you've eaten."
Gu's mother has invested a lot of money for her son's happiness.
Yun Shu shook her head: "Aunt Gu, I want to go with Mengmeng."
Just as Gu's mother was struggling with whether this girl was her son's suitor or his rival, Yun Shu continued, "I was sent here to protect classmate Shen Shumeng because of Comrade Shen Zechen."
Looking at the stunned group, she added, "Comrade Shen instructed me to protect Comrade Shen closely at all times and to absolutely ensure his safety!"
Gu Jin was utterly exasperated. He knew his brother-in-law was powerful, but he never imagined he was this powerful! He even arranged for his family members to be protected!
Although he hadn't thought about having sex before marriage, the feeling of holding hands and kissing someone on the cheek would be completely different if someone was watching.
Shen Shumeng was startled at first, then became worried. She hurriedly called her brother, Shen Zechen, who assured her repeatedly that she was not in danger and that it was just in case. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
After things were cleared up, Yun Shu no longer needed to find excuses to follow him; she could openly and legitimately protect Chen Shumeng.
Of course, she would keep a small distance from the two of them, giving them some private space.
Shen Shumeng packed a bunch of local specialties, planning to sneak back and surprise her brother.
To her utter surprise, her brother gave her a big surprise first.
Li Wen stayed up all night and finally finished dealing with the Black Cat matter. After getting off work, she went home and fell asleep immediately. When she woke up, she remembered that she still had gold worth hundreds of thousands of yuan that she hadn't returned to its owner.
Having finally received Shen Zechen's help, Li Wen decided to personally deliver the gold and express her gratitude.
Although Li Wenjing didn't understand why this big shot would wear a pure gold bracelet to train his arm strength.
Looking at the address sent by the other party, Li Wenjing fell silent. She knew this place well; she had been there several times. Her grandfather worked as a head chef in the cafeteria there.
When Shen Zechen learned that Chef Li was likely his future father-in-law, he became even more attentive, helping to wash and chop vegetables in the cafeteria and even personally stewing a pot of pork rib soup.
Chef Li looked at his daughter and couldn't help but say, "Look at Xiao Ze, he knows how to help me with chores. And look at you, you just stand there like a pillar every time you come over."
Shen Zechen quickly chimed in, "Uncle, I only have time to pursue my hobbies because my job is relatively relaxed. Officer Li is handling important matters for the country and its people; thank you for your hard work!"
He wiped down the small table where he usually ate, invited Li Wenjing to sit down, poured her a cup of tea, and also brought a bag of snacks that he had originally brought for Chef Li.
Chef Li belatedly realized that the young man from the Shen family had taken a liking to his daughter!
No father wants to marry off his daughter, especially since his daughter is only twenty-six years old and still young. What's the rush?
"Of course there's no rush. We can date first, and then get married when you feel it's right."
Shen Zechen hurriedly said, "I have no parents, a stable job, and seven-figure savings. I can buy a house across from yours, and then we can spend every holiday together."
Chef Li hesitated. He only had one daughter, and if she got married, it would be like tearing half of his and his wife's hearts out.
He's known Shen Zechen for a few months now, and he's a good kid. They get along really well, and with all the qualities he mentioned, he's practically the perfect son-in-law candidate!
Chef Li pulled Shen Zechen aside and started asking him about his family, what he liked to eat and do, and what his life plans were.
Li Wenjing slammed her hand on the table and yelled, "You two, that's enough! When did I start dating this guy?!"
Shen Zechen touched his nose and said softly, "I can also make a mini-program to identify whether someone is using drugs."
Seeing Li Wenjing looking over, Shen Zechen smiled at her, "It's just an intention to determine whether someone is using drugs by observing their breathing, heartbeat, and bodily functions."
Li Wenjing gritted her teeth and forced a kind expression: "Then what do you need to make this mini-program?"
If we can accurately identify drug users, we can not only solve the problem at its root, but also follow the clues to uncover those who are even more deeply hidden.
"This isn't about collecting data on drug users. Those people are all very aggressive. I've always been timid and not very skilled. I need someone to go with me."
Shen Zechen looked at Li Wenjing, grinned, and revealed two cute little tiger teeth.
