Chapter 04

The system looked at the time in a trance.

Some hosts were at -5 from the time they arrived to the time they left. Its host had just arrived for two hours and had not spoken much to Fu Xiuning, but he had gone from -5 all the way to -15.

It was like this on the first meeting. Can the favorability really be raised again in the future?

Xingshi had no idea that he had refreshed the record.

In the dead silence, he said: "Teacher, I'm done singing."

The trainees were forced to have a baptism of the soul. They maintained a dull expression and clapped inertia. The applause was sparse and returned to dead silence.

The vocal teacher calmed down: "What is the name of this song?"

Xingshi said: "I forgot it too. It's a folk song. Local people can sing it. It is said to be their spiritual totem."

Everyone: "..."

Well, we believe it.

Putting totems aside, this song is definitely related to spiritual things. Maybe it was used by the ancestors to kill enemies.

The vocal teacher asked, "Is there an original version?"

Xingshi said, "I just sang it according to the original version, without any adaptation."

The vocal teacher was silent, not wanting to recall his singing skills and the song. The dance teacher on the side asked, "Have you ever learned dance before?"

Xingshi said, "No."

The two teachers signaled him to go down.

Xingshi returned to his previous position, and the system sorted out his emotions.

It's okay, it thought, after the class is divided, there will be training, and the host can learn anything that he doesn't know.

But it changed its mind and thought that this is a donkey, and he may not be willing to study seriously. The punishment procedure doesn't work on him. The novice lottery is a "thank you for your patronage", what else can it do?

It tried to ask the main system for another chance to win the prize, but was rejected and fell into autism.

Xingshi didn't wait for it to go crazy, so he asked, "Did I disconnect you?"

The system replied sadly, "Online."

Xingshi savored the tone and said, "I'm a little curious, are you smart products or something else?"

The system became excited and said, "After I tell you, you also answer a question for me. Both of us have to tell the truth." Xingshi said

happily, "Okay."

The system said, "We are high-dimensional intelligence, half mechanical and half biological, with strong computing, independent thinking, and certain emotions."

Xingshi understood that this meant that it could be dismantled and killed.

The system said, "It's my turn. There are many routes to capture Fu Xiuning, including love, friendship, you being loyal to him and acting like a dog, him being tamed by you and acting like a dog, you two being father and son, etc. Which route will you choose? As promised, you must answer seriously."

Xing Shi pretended not to hear that it had taken "he would cooperate in capturing Fu Xiuning" as a fact, and did not compare it.

Because all hosts had the same capture target, Fu Xiuning was a key point, and he was bound to contact Fu Xiuning, so the system did not need to spend time persuading him.

He said frankly, "It depends on his attitude. If his attitude is good, then it's a friendship route." He

wanted to dismantle the system. If Fu Xiuning was willing to cooperate, they could be comrades-in-arms and kill these things together.

The system recalled Fu Xiuning's achievements and asked, "What if he has a bad attitude?"

Xing Shi said without hesitation, "Then I am his father."

If he had done all these things alone, Fu Xiuning would have called him father.

System: "?"

Although it's okay to say that they are father and son, you are really daring. You don't even know how many hosts Fu Xiuning has ruined!

However, the host finally agreed to talk about business, so it certainly wouldn't pour cold water on him. It happily found the next direction of work: "Okay, let's try the friendship line first."

Fu Xiuning listened to the whole thing without changing his expression, watched No. 6's performance, and stood up to leave.

He came here today because he felt that the system should be restocked and wanted to see if there would be a new host among the trainees. Now that he saw the person, he didn't stay any longer.

The trainees had different looks, and they looked at Xingshi secretly.

The boss had been standing beside him before the test, and only looked at one person after he finished the test and left. It was hard to say that there was nothing between them.

Feng Zifan knew that Xingshi and Fu Xiuning had just met, so he regretted it even more, thinking that if he hadn't left in the middle, he might have been able to get along well with Fu Xiuning.

The 16 people finished the test one after another, and Xingshi took the last place as expected.

The tests in the other two practice rooms also ended one after another. The results of the three groups were put together, and he sat in the last place.

But the teachers were all optimistic about him.

Trainees must undergo rigorous training before they can debut. It doesn't matter if the basics are almost there at the beginning, they can learn it in the future.

Today they simply divided those with and without basics into groups for easier teaching. The assessment after one month includes vocal, dance, performance, image and camera tests, etc., and is a comprehensive assessment. Xingshi has an excellent image. As long as he works hard to train, he will be promoted to the first class sooner or later.

The next step is to assign dormitories.

The dormitory is a double room with a bed and a desk underneath. It has an independent bathroom. The overall space is a little larger than the student dormitory. The empty part is used to place a refrigerator, two sets of floor-to-ceiling wardrobes and dance mirrors, creating a small training area. In addition, the apartment also has a public laundry room, gym and leisure area.

Dormitories are randomly assigned, but they are allowed to negotiate the exchange themselves and just need to report to the company.

After the initial test, the re-examination and the class division, some of the trainees have already known each other and want to live with familiar people.

Xingshi wanted to reserve a bed here for the convenience of training. He didn't care who he lived with. However, it was a coincidence that the person he exchanged roommates with was also a "predetermined one" and had no relatives like him, so the two of them shared a room and didn't exchange.

Feng Zifan and Da Zhuang came to take a look, and seeing the situation, they didn't mention changing dormitories, and called their friends to go eat.

Xingshi glanced at someone trying to put his arm around his shoulder, and his muscles tensed, and he immediately turned sideways. The other person's arm missed, and before he could react, he heard him ask what he wanted to eat, and his attention quickly shifted. It

was evening, and it was dark.

High-rise buildings were lined up, lights were shining, and the streets were crowded with people and traffic.

There was a shopping mall not far from the apartment. Xingshi followed them forward, listening to the honking of cars and the music in the shops, smelling the faint aroma of food, and suddenly he was in a huge and peaceful dream.

He stopped in front of a stall selling roasted sweet potatoes.

The system reminded him, "This is very filling, and you guys are going to have hot pot later."

Xingshi took out his phone and

asked, "What's my payment password?" The system told him without further ado.

Xingshi bought a roasted sweet potato, broke it open, blew on it a few times, and took a bite.

The boiling sweetness assaulted his taste buds, and it was so real. He looked at the bustling night scene in front of him, and hurried to catch up with the team.

The company gave them three days to settle down.

Except for the "pre-appointed" people who had signed contracts and those who were confident in the re-examination and brought all their luggage, the rest had to go back home or have their families send things to them. Most people are currently staying in a hotel, and after dinner they go back to their own places. It was also at this time that Feng Zifan and the others learned that Xingshi was a student at a prestigious university. The eyes of a group of poor students showed obvious admiration and envy.

Xingshi smiled and said goodbye to them and returned to school.

The undergraduate dormitory of Z University is a four-person room, also with a bed and a desk below.

Xingshi recognized all three roommates through the system and found his own bed.

He took a professional book from the bookshelf, flipped through two pages at random and put it back to change another one. This time he saw the original signature on the title page. The pen was sharp, iron-stroked and silver-hook, and it was almost the same as his signature.

The same name and appearance, similar handwriting, what is the probability that it is a coincidence?

Did he travel to a new world, or... came back?

Ever since he traveled through the magic world, his previous memories have been fuzzy, and in the end, only some common sense things remained to let him know that he came from modern society. Now that he has traveled through time again, he still can't remember.

He shouted, "Tong."

The system said, "Hmm?"

Xing Shi said, "Do you know where I came from?"

The system said, "I don't know. This is the host's privacy."

Xing Shi said, "Then do you know why I traveled through time?"

"I don't know either. I am only responsible for supervising the host to do the task..." The system said and remembered something, "You should have lost your memory, right?"

It explained, "The soul is an energy body. There will be a slight consumption during the transmission process. The side effect is different degrees of amnesia. The hosts who traveled through time are basically like this. Some can slowly remember, and some can't."

"But don't worry," it sold vigorously, "We have memory pills in our store, which can allow you to trace back all the memories since birth. As long as you get enough favorability points, you can exchange them with points."

Xing Shi said "Hmm" calmly and put the book back.

After three days, the trainees began training.

In addition to professional skills, they also have to learn languages, arts and other cultural knowledge, and the courses are packed.

Among this group of trainees, only three people, including Xingshi, have to take care of their studies. After two weeks, one of them was tortured to the point of considering dropping out.

The system was originally worried that the host would give up, but he never complained.

Not only that, he would occasionally skip one or two unimportant classes to go to the company for training, which was very touching.

The only bad thing is that they have not had contact with Fu Xiuning again.

Fu Xiuning does not live on campus and only comes to Z University for classes or when he has something to do. They rarely meet in the company, and their friendship has not made any progress.

The system saw the host habitually looking for a place to lie down after lunch, and said, "The dormitory is in front."

Xingshi closed his eyes and said, "I ate too much, slowly."

The system said, "...So why do you eat so much?"

Xingshi did not answer, concentrating on basking in the sun.

The system knew that no matter what he said, he would not get a response, so he shut up. After a few minutes, he suddenly perked up, "Fu Xiuning is walking this way!"

Xingshi pretended not to hear it.

The system couldn't help but look at him in such a dead look: "What are you thinking? I told you about Fu Xiuning's location a few times before, but you refused to go. What about the friendship line?"

Xingshi ignored it this time: "If Fu Xiuning is someone who can be conquered by chatting a few more words, you only need to send one host, why find so many people?"

The system said: "Then what's your plan?"

Xingshi said: "First of all, don't bother me."

System: "..."

It muted itself in frustration, and realized that Fu Xiuning was about to pass by, so it simply stopped looking to avoid getting more angry.

In the past half month, Fu Xiuning has seen Xingshi four times.

The first time was at noon after school. He saw a person running towards the door from a distance in the car. When he drove over, he found that it was Xingshi. The other person was smiling brightly, and he ran so fast to get takeout.

The second time was in the company cafeteria. There were empty plates on Xingshi's table, and there were also four boxes of desserts. He had already eaten one box and was enjoying the second one. There are requirements for the body shape of trainees, and desserts are limited. The fact that there are so many must have been given by other people who want to lose weight.

The third time was at the side door of Z University. He passed by there for something and saw Xingshi sitting in a crowded stall slurping noodles without even looking up.

The fourth time was today.

There is a small park in the school living area, and he saw the person sitting on the double chair when he passed by.

Xingshi's hands were in the pockets of his baseball jacket, the hood of his sweatshirt was on his head covering his eyebrows, his legs were slightly apart, and he was slouching lazily.

There was a stray cat in the empty seat next to him, squinting and holding its front paws to accompany him. The sun shone from above, and the whole scene was warm and comfortable.

Fu Xiuning's legs stopped as he was about to move forward, and the evil factors in his heart came out.

How could the host live more comfortably than him?

He walked towards Xingshi.
