Qiu Shui returned to his room with a heavy heart.
She first quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face, and then ate the breakfast that Lou Yuchen had just brought to the room.
Fortunately, when Lou Yuchen delivered it, he put it in a transparent insulation box.
Therefore, breakfast is still hot at this time.
Qiu Shui finished his breakfast absentmindedly, changed his clothes quickly, and then walked towards the study.
Lou Yuchen stayed with him throughout the whole process. Qiu Shui didn't say anything and he didn't ask any questions.
But he could feel that Qiu Shui didn't seem to be in a good mood at the moment.
Lou Yuchen didn't know why Qiu Shui looked troubled when he woke up one night.
Moreover, his attitude towards his father just now was so strange.
When the two of them went to the study, Li Feng and Uncle Fu had not arrived yet.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Li Feng and Uncle Fu came to the study.
"Please sit down first." Li Feng pointed to the chairs beside him and said to Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen, then he sat in the seat at the top.
Uncle Fu stood beside Li Feng.
Two servants followed in. Then, he started to make tea skillfully.
After two cups of tea were brewed, Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen stood up, and Uncle Fu shouted, "Bring the tea."
Two servants immediately brought the tea tray and handed two cups of tea to Qiu Shui and Lou Yuchen respectively.
Qiu Shui took the lead in handing the tea to Li Feng, then stared at Li Feng intently and said, "Father, please have some tea."
The newlyweds are required to offer tea to their parents on the second day.
However, Qiu Shui no longer called Li Feng "Dad", but "Father".
When Lou Yuchen heard Qiu Shui's address, he looked at Qiu Shui strangely.
But he didn't care too much.
Li Feng took Qiu Shui's tea and took a sip. Then he picked up the red envelope prepared on the side and handed it to Qiu Shui, and said: "Since you are already married, you should focus on taking care of the family affairs. Don't be reckless like before."
"Yes." Qiu Shui revealed a fake smile on his face, and then took the red envelope.
Compared to Qiu Shui, the faint smile on Lou Yuchen's face seemed much more sincere.
He handed over the tea respectfully and called out "Dad".
After drinking the tea, Li Feng also said a few words to Lou Yuchen.
"Now that you have entered our Renwang Palace, I hope you can accompany this boy hand in hand and live up to each other."
"Yes." Lou Yuchen responded and took the red envelope from Li Feng with both hands.
"Okay, this kid and I have something to discuss alone. You guys go down first."
Li Feng waved his hand.
Lou Yuchen glanced at Qiu Shui with some worry, then left with Fu Bo and the others.
They all left and exited the yard where the study was.
Lou Yuchen was there just now, and Qiu Shui was extremely patient in order not to let them find out.
Now that no one was around, Qiu Shui stepped forward, staring sharply at Li Feng in front of him, and asked, "You are not the system, who are you?"
This is definitely not a system for showing off wealth, so who could it be?
Could it be that he is the main system?
But that shouldn’t be the case, right?
Would the main system have so much free time to come to the real world and role-play?
Li Feng stood up, raised his hand, and tapped Qiu Shui hard on the forehead. "How dare you talk to an old man like me?"
Qiu Shui felt the pain and could not help but take a step back, covering his forehead which was hurt by the blow. Then he reacted and asked in confusion, "Old man?"
Li Feng had a stern face and sat upright. "Why, you don't recognize me after not playing chess for a while?"
Qiu Shui widened his eyes and smacked his lips, "Old...old man?"
Oh my God, the person in front of me is actually Li Chaoyang, old man?
"You...how come you are here and have turned into a system?"
Qiu Shui was so shocked.
"How dare you say that." The old man rolled his eyes. "If you hadn't gotten into trouble, would I need to come out and deal with all this trouble for you?"
"No." Qiu Shui was confused. "This is something that needs to be dealt with, and it's only the main system's business. If someone needs to be sent, they will send someone from another system. How could it be you, old man?"
"Why, do you think I, an old man, can't handle your affairs?" The old man put his hands on his hips, "Besides, this is Renwang Palace, my territory. No one is more suitable than me, an old man."
"But old man, aren't you dead and turned into a soul? How can you come out?"
The system said that the old man in the space is just a soul.
"How is the soul? Your system can use simulation robots, but I, an old man, can't use it?"
The old man waved his hand and said, "Okay, I won't waste my time talking to you, stupid boy. Just tell me directly whether you want to save your little system or not."
"Of course I do." Qiu Shui immediately stepped forward, grabbed the old man's hand, and asked anxiously, "Old man, do you have any ideas?"
"You little brat, you've been learning chess for so long, but you're still so impatient."
The old man said unhappily, "It's not difficult to save it. The main program of the small system has not disappeared. It is protected by the advanced simulation robot in your space. In short, it just changed its body. As long as you wake up the advanced simulation robot, you can wake up the small system."
Qiu Shui was puzzled. "But I clearly saw it being destroyed by the main system. How could it be in the simulation robot?"
"Don't you know that advanced simulation robots have defense mechanisms?" The old man explained, "Luckily, the little system paid extra money to exchange for an advanced simulation robot experience voucher. Otherwise, it would have disappeared by now. When an advanced simulation robot senses a fatal attack, it has a chance to directly teleport the user to a simulation robot of the same type."
Qiu Shui suddenly realized, "So, the system wasn't destroyed at that time, it was just teleported?"
So, he cried in vain?
Qiu Shui let go of the old man, and instantly his forehead was filled with black lines.
"So, now we just need to activate the simulated robot in the space, and the system will be revived, right?"
"That's right. But are you willing to give it up?" The old man looked at Qiu Shui, "As long as you have that advanced simulation robot, you will have the chance of eternal life just like me. You only have one chance like this. Are you willing to give it up?"
"eternal life?"
Qiu Shui's pupils constricted.
"Yes, immortality." The old man turned around in front of Qiu Shui and said, "As long as I use this simulation robot, I can achieve immortality. At most, it will cost me some gold."
The old man tempted Qiu Shui with a voice that sounded like it came from the devil, "Are you willing to give this opportunity to a system that has no life and does not understand any emotions? Are you willing to do so?"
"It has life." Qiu Shui retorted to the old man, "The system has life, thoughts, emotions and feelings of its own. Except for not having a real body, it is no different from humans."
Qiu Shui would not allow the old man to insult the system like this.
"So, you chose to give it the simulated robot?"
"yes."
Qiu Shui answered without hesitation, leaving the old man stunned.
"Won't you hesitate for a moment?"
"Why hesitate?" Qiu Shui said firmly, "It is willing to die for me. Let alone a mere simulation robot, even if there are ten or a hundred, as long as it can be resurrected, I will find a way to get them for it. Besides, I promised to give it the simulation robot a long time ago."
"It's just that we need to activate the simulation robot, which requires a lot of gold. Old man, I know that the Archibald family's gold is hidden in the secret room of the room, right?"
If it wasn't for preventing others from seeing anything, Qiu Shui would have already broken open the door of the secret room.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do in exchange for giving me the key to the secret room?"
The old man was calm and composed. "You are quite smart. You actually guessed that the Archibald family's gold is here. But who told you that there is more gold in the secret room?"
"You mean, the gold in the secret room is gone?" Qiu Shui was stunned.
The old man nodded, "Yes, it's long gone."
Qiu Shui took two steps back in disbelief. "Gone? How could it be gone? If the gold is gone, where can I get so much gold to activate the system?"
If you want to activate that super realistic robot, you will need 10,000 tons of gold.
And 10,000 tons of gold would cost 4.8 trillion.
Then, the robot needs to consume 1 kilogram of gold every day to maintain its operation.
That means 480,000 yuan is needed every day.
Qiu Shui can sustain it with 480,000 a day.
The problem is that he simply cannot come up with 4.8 trillion yuan.
Unless, he sells everything he is using now.
Maybe it's barely enough.
The old man seemed to see what Qiu Shui was thinking, and he said, "I advise you not to put your attention on your assets. You know that some of your assets cannot be sold. Moreover, you still need to complete the task later. Without sufficient funds, you cannot complete the task. You know the consequences of not being able to complete the task."
"But if I die, I can get the system back, so I think it's worth it."
Perhaps by doing this, he would be letting down Lou Yuchen, Uncle Fu, and those who supported him.
However, there is a chance to save the system. But he didn't save her, Qiu Shui couldn't do it.
"But if you die, that little system will also die. Don't forget that you are still tied together."
The old man’s words instantly awakened Qiu Shui.
Yes, it is bound to the system.
If he, the host, dies, the system will not be able to complete the task. Then, it is also a dead end.
So, he cannot die.
But neither this nor that is okay. What should he do then?
The old man seemed to be saying just now that he is also using a simulation robot?
So, will the old man have a way to get the gold?
"Master, I know you must have a way, right?"
Now, Qiu Shui placed all his hopes on the old man.
"Yes." The old man put his hands behind his back and admitted, "I might as well tell you that I have a high-level simulation robot energy tank that has been charged with energy. The energy in the energy tank is enough to directly activate the high-level simulation robot. You only need to recharge the energy you need later."
When Qiu Shui heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He asked anxiously: "How can I get it?"
The old man smiled meaningfully and said, "It's very simple. Play a game of chess with me. As long as you beat me, I will give you the energy warehouse."
