Resonance
Bai Hanxin remained indifferent, while Bai Tian appeared carefree and at ease.
"I've come to you because there's something I need you to do."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Hanxin said directly, "I won't help."
“I am paid.”
"I don't lack money."
...
"You don't lack anything, I lack money," Bai Tian joked. "I won't use material things to win your heart, especially if you're not interested in them in the first place."
"You seem to know a lot about this."
"I was prepared."
What was taken for granted became perfectly legitimate, and Bai Tian felt no discomfort whatsoever. Bai Hanxin looked at her beautiful junior sister and felt that there were some things she needed to say, but she couldn't bring herself to say them otherwise.
Do you know about Zhonghua Mountain?
"Planting flowers, mountains?"
Bai Tian observed her micro-expressions and saw through Bai Hanxin, who was completely unaware of what was happening in front of her.
"Zhonghua Mountain is a mountain nestled against the water. There's a village at the foot of the mountain. I need something there, but I can't go by myself; I need your help. As for the rest, let's discuss that separately."
Bai Hanxin astutely seized upon a key line: "What do you want?"
Bai Tian gave a knowing smile, and said in a very irritating way, "Guess?"
Bai Hanxin looked calmly at the guest in front of her—Miss Bai—and changed her tone, "I'm sorry, I won't guess."
"Alright, I understand. You can go now."
"Such a heartless person." Bai Tian said casually, getting up quickly. Before leaving, she glanced at Bai Hanxin and sat down with an air of authority.
It's easy to imagine how much thought and effort Bai put into this confrontation.
Bai Hanxin stood there, silently repeating a few words in her mind: "Stay away from disaster, starting with me!"
Faced with the unexpected small task, Bai Hanxin put it aside again.
She held her forehead, her thoughts drifting, and then she entered the world of dreams.
...
Because Chi was woken up by Bai Hanxin in an unusual way, and the air briefly became stagnant after Bai Hanxin left.
Chi Wangyue secretly glanced at Yan Tianhua a few times. After emboldening himself, he tried to attract attention by coughing. Little did he know that Yan Tianhua's attention was 70% focused on him.
Chi Wangyue looked at him, and he stood there, creating a height difference.
Yan Tianhua leaned down to look at her junior brother, whose eyes were clear and bright. Based on the previous situation, she seemed to have foreseen what he would say.
Chi Wangyue exchanged glances, and after a few seconds, she slowly pointed out a few words to Yan Tianhua.
After he finished speaking, seeing the other person's calm demeanor, he realized that his own momentum was insufficient and he had already lost the battle, thinking of what Junior Sister Bai had said.
He briefly explained things to Senior Brother Yan, tidied himself up, and took himself back to the long-missed Bamboo Grove Pavilion.
Yan Tianhua watched his junior brother leave until he could no longer see him walking away. Only then did he go back, lie on his bed, close his eyes, and then relive his memories.
The past is like flowing water, ceaselessly moving forward. He only has fragmented impressions of the past, vague images flashing by, but no concrete descriptions.
"But, no matter what, he must have a problem." Yan Tianhua thought to herself. When her head ached, she would put it aside for a while, and when she thought about it again, she had already fallen into a long and endless sleep.
On his way back to the Bamboo Grove, Chi Wangyue passed through a small bamboo grove in front of the gate. The bamboo was tall and slender. He walked along the familiar path, occasionally encountering one or two small rabbits. However, they quickly scurried away.
Chi's footwork was no less skillful than theirs. In the blink of an eye, Chi Wangyue was only an arm's length away from the door. With a push, the door opened smoothly.
Behind the door were familiar objects, but compared to Yi Ren Ge, he missed his own little nest more.
At this moment, one has no choice but to say "Hu Li!"
"How?"
"You're too kind."
Chi Wangyue blurted out, then quickly retracted, and said with a grin, "I miss familiar people, familiar things, and the familiar system."
The system said, "..." "Don't experience withdrawal symptoms," Hu Li managed to squeeze out a few words.
"Thanks, Hu Li."
The spatial compression within his mind manifested in his consciousness, and the elation of ideology did not interfere with the normal activity of matter.
Hu Li has logged off. Chi Wangyue returned to her old place and tidied up a bit. The amount of work in the room was not an easy task. Chi Wangyue busied herself for a while before she could finally fit a small Chi Mou in the room.
Chi Wangyue felt a bit hot, so he went to take a shower.
After he finished washing, he used a warm, natural breeze to dry his hair, which gradually dried. While it was drying, Chi Wangyue fell asleep.
I'm too tired, I need to take a proper rest.
When they wake up, they are greeted by a refreshing and energetic state of mind, and naturally feel much more refreshed.
Chi Wangyue was deeply moved by this situation.
Chi Wangyue stretched, realizing that he couldn't sleep without an alarm clock, even though he was annoyed by it. His thirst was relentless.
Through his repeated little tricks, he successfully and temporarily got rid of the minor problem of not being able to get up. Although it was as light as a feather for others, it was a reminder and a relief.
Chi Wangyue, being a meticulous person, first studied bamboo forest play on his own.
There wasn't a big scene in the bamboo grove; he was secretly making arrests to amuse himself.
However, Chi Wangyue's technique needs improvement.
Gu Shuoxing strolled around for a bit. His mental state was nearing a low point, but his expression was not visible to the naked eye.
He came to visit his junior brother! Also, he probably has some things to take care of these days.
Gu Shuoxing thought the probability of something going wrong was low, as he had just greeted a child—Qu. Going back to before the incident, he had promised Qu Mingzhe that he would go down the mountain to find him again.
Gu Shuoxing looked into the other person's clear eyes and innocent expression and agreed. Regardless, he had to go down and take a look around. Life is boring; one must experience the hardships of the world and taste all kinds of things before realizing that only oneself is truly good.
However, the staff are too young, most of them are in the right stage of life and are at the forefront of controversy, and different people have different opinions.
For example, Chi Wangyue has her own ideas, and Gu Shuoxing has his own opinions.
Because of his connection with his junior brother in some aspects, Gu Shuoxing followed the clues and took direct action.
Chi Wangyue admired him greatly and felt he was far inferior to him.
Chi prepared a picnic, and they stayed temporarily in a corner near the water. Gu Shuoxing was rarely so generous at home, but he was quite unconventional outside.
Gu Shuoxing ate while chatting with him. Sometimes, after they had finished eating, the two would have a little sparring, but no matter who won or lost, it was just a competition, with no other special meaning.
Chi Wangyue and his second senior brother got along very well. Their conversation wasn't formulaic, and looking at the very talkative Gu Shuoxing, he pondered his reply.
When Hu Li appeared, he instinctively grabbed her, directly massaging and kneading her, and the system activated.
"Ding-dong—"
Upon hearing this voice, Chi Wangyue gradually realized that she possessed a small system.
He looked away, his voice transitioning from an unnatural tone to a normal one.
"Little Hu Li, is something the matter?"
Chi Wangyue adopted a more serious tone when she asked the question.
Psychological communication is very convenient; his thoughts immediately emerge in words, accumulating in a way that centers on him.
[Host, you have a mission.]
"Oh, go ahead and say it."
[Please descend the mountain to begin the side quest challenge - Points reward +100 (This is a necessary task and cannot be abandoned. You will also receive an additional task; please trigger key plot points to complete it.)]
Chi Wangyue happened to see a long passage of text, and a feeling of "long time no see" suddenly rose in his heart. With the clarity of rational understanding, he suppressed it and thought about it.
"Host, according to my investigation, this mission has not deviated from the original plot overall, but there are many variable factors. Please prepare in advance." Hu Li spoke with his unique tone, which Chi Wangyue clearly recognized and understood.
“He doesn’t deviate from the original direction, but continues to move steadily forward. Time is moving backward, and he is like an adventurer who continues to follow a predetermined mission.” Chi Wangyue muttered to herself, then turned away and put it aside.
Everything is a coincidence, allowing the rules to justify it.
After Chi Wangyue figured it out, she replied to the system, "Okay."
Xiao Hu Li will voluntarily withdraw, schedule a good time, and then come back to pop up again.
Gu Shuoxing is very talkative. He has been away from home for a long time, and we have talked for a long time about things other than hobbies. Putting aside everything else, our understanding of him has also improved a lot.
With nothing to do, Chi Wangyue opened the interface. The first small blue box on the panel was green, corresponding to his basic information.
Next up is his skill – "lottery".
A large spinning wheel with various abilities listed on it, and a smaller note next to it that reads, "This is for purely lucky players; those with bad luck are prohibited from entering."
Beneath his skills lies his backpack.
Currently, there are [Belief Dolls].
Building rapport is a crucial step. Maintaining appropriate boundaries and finding the right balance in interpersonal relationships is essential.
His gaze fell upon a sticky note pressed against the rotary table, on which was written in neat handwriting: "
To xx
Please remove any unused items within the specified time period.
Thank you for your support and cooperation.
Chi Wangyue replied, "You're welcome."
After saying goodbye to Xiao Huli, Chi Wangyue gazed into the distance, enjoying the scenery in the woods. Bamboo can be used to make flutes, and since neither of them was very good at drilling holes, or if they did drill holes, they couldn't make the right direction. After fiddling with it for a while, when they reaped the rewards of their labor, smiles appeared on both of their faces.
One is radiant, the other is cheerful.
Gu Shuoxing checked the time and decided to part ways when it was almost time. The farewell was brief, just like his own Gu-style personality.
After finishing everything, Chi Wangyue lay down again, looking as if she had "exhausted her abilities."
When people rest, their thoughts are boundless. Chi Wangyue, thinking about the points rewards, then asked:
"System, for tasks like opening side quests, are there usually different progress stages?"
Hu Li sat casually in the chair, saying, "Based on my investigation, the progress is average; it depends on the plot."
Does it depend on the plot?
Hu Li told him, "Yes, at least for now. The points rewards will not only give me energy, but will also drive the plot forward, like the butterfly effect."
Chi Wangyue stared blankly at a certain point.
Hu Li reminded him, "Regarding maximizing the rational use of the main system, the host should first start with their own skills or the introduction on the initial panel... Look at the direction of progress with a forward-looking perspective."
“I understand the logic,” Chi Wangyue replied calmly. “Do I get a chance to win a prize?”
Hu Li gave a slight smirk. "I'll load it for you."
Chi Wangyue looked at Hu Li, who was like a warm little cotton-padded jacket to her heart, and said, "Hu Li, thank you."
"You're welcome." Hu Li paused for a few seconds after hearing this before saying, "Okay."
Chi Wangyue looked at the large spinning wheel, which mainly contained offensive items, unlike the types of items she had encountered before.
The "Belief Doll" is an upgraded version of "Belief is Power." It has a wide range of uses, but the requirements are very demanding. So far, he has only been able to activate it, but has not yet met the conditions for using it.
Chi Wangyue murmured, "It's quite a good support item, but I'm still a bit short of the necessary skills right now."
He makes purchases as soon as he finds a suitable opportunity, acting according to circumstances.
"Hmm? Hu Li, what kind of props do you think would suit me right now?"
Hu Li carefully examined Chi Wangyue and honestly said, "I don't know."
"Chi Wangyue was the first host I ever took over, and I had no experience with her. On the other hand, I basically learned as I went, and I needed big data as a reference when looking up information."
Chi Wangyue rested her chin on her hand, listening to the silly little fox with the aloof hair in front of her say, "Experience doesn't necessarily represent everything; what matters most is your subjective perspective. Besides, you've always done a good job here."
Hu Li remained silent, then raised its eyes and pointed to a spherical object resembling a swirling cloud. "That's it."
It was a spherical object with a design of wind and clouds on it, but the description on it was unclear.
This is a small item that doesn't fit the mainstream style at all, but it also represents a unique perception or answer from a single person.
Your choice is my answer.
Chi Wangyue's luck isn't usually good, but this time, he'll succeed. In some ways, failure is actually a necessary step on the road to success, but there will always be someone who turns the road into a dead end.
Hu Li looked up and calmly examined the object that had been pulled out—an egg.
A slightly chilly little snake egg
Chi Wangyue looked at it as expected, placed it in her arms, and said to Hu Li with a smile, "See? What do you think?"
Hu Li's heart sank, as if a certain burden had been lifted, and she said with a somewhat ambiguous feeling, "Very good."
"Hmm." Chi Wangyue felt the eggshell was ice-cold to the bottom, and he regarded it as a walking egg-shaped air conditioner.
Taking the opportunity, Hu Li shared the latest intelligence she had obtained: "According to my observation, the host's favorability is automatically upgrading. Points can accelerate the process and enrich and refine this favorability bug."
When Chi Wangyue heard "points upgrade", a spark flashed in his eyes. Under Hu Li's unintentional influence, his enthusiasm increased a little.
During periods when points were useless, he didn't pay much attention to his points, but as time went on and he experienced more, points seemed to become less unimportant.
However, everything is a double-edged sword.
Chi Wangyue quietly tidied up and wrote down a sincere part-time job for Hu Li.
"Once I complete my mission, everything I have left is yours."
Chi Wangyue never connected with the future, but at some point she would always resonate with it.
There was no one in front of him, but there was still a unified group behind him who stood in his shoes to think about solutions to problems. Although it was monotonous, it was voluminous; although the road was long, it was time-consuming.
