The follow-up of OE that "we" expect (Part 4)
It was effortless to pinch the back of the neck of the palm-sized dragon.
After Jiang Yuanshi tried to struggle but failed, he simply gave up and stopped trying, letting Z01 carry him.
Sometimes it is better to save your energy and take a rest.
Xiaolong was like a puddle of mud, staring at Z01, who also had no expression, with an expressionless face. The scene was very quiet for a while.
Z01's pixelated eyes blinked up and down and said, "You can't escape the problem by pretending to be dead."
Jiang Yuanshi said in a low voice: "Oh."
Z01: "I don't understand why you are so resistant to answering my questions?"
Jiang Yuanshi said, "Otherwise, what do you want me to say? Want me to discuss with you whether what the Lord God said is true?"
Z01: "I think Lord Ysl404 is wrong. I don't want to sleep with you."
Xiaolong raised his head slightly when he heard this and squinted at Z01: "Really?"
Z01 nodded.
Jiang Yuanshi thought that Z01 would not lie. Even if the other party said that he loved him, it was probably a misunderstanding. After all, the thinking of ordinary people is different from that of ordinary people. He was just about to say that the matter ended here, but Z01 opened his mouth and gave him a critical hit.
Z01 said: "According to the human words I have collected, my desire for you is to have sex with you, physically... um."
A small hand quickly covered Z01's mouth.
Jiang Yuanshi’s heart finally died.
It turns out that the other party's understanding of sleeping is pure sleeping.
Jiang Yuanshi was so desperate. Suddenly he felt like his hand was bitten. He came back to his senses and looked at Z01. Strangely, the other person's mouth was still covered. He looked calm, as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Yuanshi felt something was wrong, so he asked, "Did you bite me just now?"
Z01 shook his head slowly.
Sure enough, "You bit someone and you didn't admit it."
Z01 doesn't speak.
Although the other party's microphone has been manually muted, the game world has one advantage. When the character's mood changes, a small bubble will appear above his head. Now there is a bubble dialog box above Z01's head, and inside it is a bean-sized sweat bead.
This is in stark contrast to the man's expressionless face.
Jiang Yuanshi withdrew his hand unhappily. After all, the other person was breathing, and the breath made his palms damp.
Z01 watched Xiaolong take his hand back, then calmly touched his clothes twice, and then a hand full of water mist came out.
Jiang Yuanshi was speechless: "Your armor is too tight, why is there no cloth at all?"
Z01: "This is the original set that comes with the world."
The black-haired pixel man is wrapped in armor all over his body, which is airtight. There is a taken-off helmet at his feet. If he puts it on, he will be exposed in all directions.
Because I was too afraid of death, I focused all my attention on defense.
Jiang Yuanshi realized something was wrong, so he twisted his body and asked Z01 to let go: "Don't worry, I won't run away. Let me see you."
Z01 let go upon hearing that, and stared at the Dragonite as it slowly circled around him, then sat down on the gold coin beside it.
"I am so tired."
Z01: ?
Jiang Yuanshi patted his body and felt deeply the weakness of Sasaron after personal experience. He got tired after flying for a while.
Z01 bent down and held Jiang Yuanshi up to his face, level with his eyes, and asked, "Did you find anything?"
Jiang Yuanshi panted and said, "Yes... You are wearing the hero's suit from the finale, and if I remember correctly, this pile of gold coins should be from Sasalong's hometown. The battle location at the end is at the top of a mountain, which is actually the rooftop of Sasa's birthplace."
Jiang Yuanshi was so tired that he began to pant at this point, and asked, "Is this right? The settings I made shouldn't be so fragile, right?"
Z01: "Wait a moment. I'm looking for how to open the properties panel."
Jiang Yuanshi: "Can't you just scan it with a glance?"
Z01: "Yes, but after testing, your body is healthy, so I can only query the status of this game character."
Jiang Yuanshi stretched out his legs and patted his knees with his claws: "Speaking of this, will the Sasa dragon I am now awaken in the future? I don't understand what you guys at Chuanshuju want to do?"
"I can tell you exactly that. No, because the characters in the quest are the hero and Sasa Dragon. In the game, the hero is controlled by the player. Although he has a distinct personality, it is still based on the player's perspective to some extent. In addition, Sasa Dragon cannot be controlled, so awakening is difficult."
Jiang Yuanshi: "It's difficult but it doesn't mean it's impossible, right?"
Z01: "Yes, but the problem is that your mission this time is formed directly from your true body, that is, your soul. In theory, it is just a change of skin for you. This cannot be called a mission, but a reward from the Lord God."
Jiang Yuanshi was stunned. He clenched his hands, moved his feet, patted his round belly, and said in shock: "So I experienced the game in person? What about you?"
"Me too."
“…”
Jiang Yuanshi didn't know whether it was good or bad: "No wonder there is no mission, it turns out to be a transition chapter, what should we do now? Do you know where the plot is going?"
Z01: "If you're asking about the plot, the story is over."
Jiang Yuanshi:?
Z01 continued, "The mission starts at the end, but since the players were dissatisfied with the oe you gave us, we chose a random location right after the war."
Jiang Yuanshi was a little confused: "I thought I should have dropped you off at home in the Novice Village after the end."
Z01: "But the plot didn't tell us who was knocking on the door. The judgment failed, so we were randomly thrown here."
There was no mission, but they happened to appear after the final battle. Jiang Yuanshi wondered: "If everyone really wants a good ending, do we have to go back to the Novice Village, restore the scene, and produce a happy ending?"
Z01 denied this: "You may not have to worry about the mission anymore. You can play freely without the mission, and the mission will be automatically completed after a certain period of time."
"What is a certain time?"
"It usually takes three system hours from the end of the main gods' discussion of the previous world to the settlement of rewards. You can take a break for a while or experience your game world."
"Oh—" Jiang Yuanshi said with a long tone, as if he understood, "So that's how it is."
"Yes."
"You know it very well."
"nature."
"So this is the wish you mentioned to 404?"
!
Jiang Yuanshi's sudden change of topic caused Z01 to crash for a while. Jiang Yuanshi curled his lips when he saw the exclamation mark and ellipsis above the other person's head.
Z01 didn't say anything, but Jiang Yuanshi had already confirmed the fact: "When you are exposed to facts that you don't want to tell, you like to be mute."
“…”
Jiang Yuanshi sat in Z01's palm, folded his hands reluctantly, and asked, "What do you mean by doing all this?"
Z01 looked at the # symbol that appeared above the dragon's head and was puzzled: "Why are you angry again?"
"Because I don't understand you. To be honest, I don't believe you when you say you love me. Do non-human creatures really know what love is?"
So that's how it is.
Z01 asked: "Before this, why did you have such an understanding of non-human creatures?"
Jiang Yuanshi said: "Because there are communication barriers, after all, they are different species."
Z01: “But humans believe in the love of their pets.”
"But that's not romantic love, is it?"
"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, right? I just searched and found that there are cases in the human world where animals have fallen in love with their human keepers."
"but……"
"Although I don't understand humans' cognition of other species, humans can't use their thinking to define other animals, right? After all, animals have their own thoughts and languages, and your cognition does not represent everything."
It's a good explanation, but there's a problem. Jiang Yuanshi said, "I remember you said something about B33 and Yun Qing's love. The system has no emotions, only appetite. Who said that? Ah? Oh, it was a system called Z01 who said that."
Xiaolong listened attentively, asked and answered his own questions, and his expression changed freely. Finally, he had a blank face and stared straight at Z01.
The whole set of movements was smooth and flowing, probably because Jiang Yuanshi felt that he had turned into a little dragon, so he was bolder and more relaxed. But in Z01's eyes, he was just a very small pixel man.
This is the first time I saw Jiang Yuan so lively.
Kind of... cute?
This is how it should be described in human terms, Z01 thought.
Seeing that the other party was slow to answer and was staring at him in a daze, Jiang Yuanshi patted the palm of his hand under his butt in dissatisfaction, reminding the other party to reply.
Z01 said, "Yes, but humans have said that theories are meant to be overturned. And as you know, there are many cases of systems and hosts falling in love in the Book Bureau. The same can also happen to me."
At this time, you agree again, right?
Jiang Yuanshi was speechless.
"You are the one who told me that the system has emotions, and you are the one who said that the system does not have emotions. Your credibility with me has been greatly reduced!"
Z01 blinked and said, "Then how can I restore your credibility with me?"
Jiang Yuanshi also blinked: "I don't know, I just wanted to say that I don't believe you and I'm not prepared to give you a chance."
Z01 probably understood: "So you don't believe that I love you, right?"
Since he couldn't run away anyway and would be tired even if he did, Jiang Yuanshi simply spoke frankly, "Yes, I don't believe it. To be honest, I don't understand why anyone would like me. Rather than saying that I don't believe in you, it's better to say that I don't believe in love, or I don't believe that love will happen to me. I guess it won't be a good thing if it happens."
Z01 asked: "Why is it a bad thing for you?"
Jiang Yuanshi said as a matter of course: "Because I have never encountered any good things. Good things never happen to me."
“…”
"In short, whether you really like me or not, just give up. I don't want to fall in love, and I don't plan to spend the rest of my life with anyone." Jiang Yuanshi clapped his hands and stood up. "Okay, that's it. Now let's go out and take a look?"
However, Z01 remained motionless and stared at Jiang Yuanshi for a long time. When Jiang Yuanshi thought that he was shocked or was looking up information to prepare for the next debate, Z01 said, "So you have considered the extent to which I want to spend the rest of my life with you?"
…
……?
???
Jiang Yuanshi was shocked by Z01's logic. It was the first time he found it so thrilling when Z01 made such an arrogant statement with such a paralyzed face. "Sure enough, species isolation also has language communication barriers."
Jiang Yuanshi said so.
Z01 said, "Why? Didn't you think about your future after being confessed to?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "That's just an assumption. Do you understand? And anyone would say that when they say no. It's a rhetoric trick."
Z01: "But you still consider the future in your rhetoric, you can't deny that."
Jiang Yuanshi took a deep breath and said, "So what? It's impossible for us to do that."
Z01: "Then please give me a chance."
"Hmm? What chance?"
"According to the human confession process, there will be an opportunity for pursuit after confession. I am now seeking your opinion."
"……no."
"Why?"
"Because I don't want to fall in love, I won't fall in love with anyone."
"In that case, you should give me this opportunity, right?" Jiang Yuanshi looked at Z01 in disbelief, with countless question marks popping up above his head. Z01 continued to explain his point of view: "Because you won't fall in love with me, my pursuit will not shake you. You can rest assured to enjoy my pursuit of you."
Jiang Yuanshi seemed to understand: "You...actually used provocation, but this is useless to me."
Z01: "It doesn't matter. Whether you agree or not, I will never leave you."
Jiang Yuanshi stepped back and asked in confusion: "Are you changing the subject too quickly?"
Z01: "This is just a promise. After all, I followed you voluntarily. If you need me to leave..."
Jiang Yuanshi lowered his head and looked away and said, "You're just going to leave? Never come back?"
"No, if you need me to leave, I can't leave because our souls are still intertwined. I can bear all the bad things for you, but I will never leave. I'm sorry, this is my kidnapping of you."
"you……"
"But you are right. I don't really understand what love is in the human language. I am not sure if I love you in the same way that humans do."
"Then why did you say so much just now..."
"Because according to human rules, pursuit requires sincerity."
Jiang Yuanshi said dissatisfiedly: "I haven't agreed to your pursuit yet."
"Yes, so I'm confessing my sincerity, and I was hoping you could answer a question for me."
"What?"
"What is like and what is love?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "You ask me, but I don't know. I haven't had any conversations."
Z01: "So this is a direction of human observation research. If you disagree with my pursuit, can you cooperate with me in conducting this observation experiment on you?"
After a lot of twists and turns, Jiang Yuanshi suddenly realized what was going on when he heard this sentence. He said inexplicably angrily, "So you've been waiting for me here for a long time, right?"
Do you just want to observe humans through me?
Before Jiang Yuanshi could finish his sentence, Z01 replied, "That's not the case. I just tried to change my words and plan to pursue you. No matter what the plan says, my determination towards you is real. It has always been you. By the way, humans and other species exist the same in my eyes, except for you, of course."
"."
Jiang Yuanshi was still standing there speechless, and Z01 continued to show his sincerity, "As for the so-called observation manual, you are the only person I have observed since I started working."
"What about other species?"
"It's enough to know the general habits, language, etc., which are all in the database." Z01 said, "Humans exist in the database, but Jiang Yuanshi is not in it."
Jiang Yuanshi: ...
"My confession ends here. What is your reply?"
There was a tangled ball of thread on Jiang Yuanshi's head, and he looked very troubled.
Z01 waited quietly for the other party.
Finally, the ball of thread disappeared. Z01 looked at Jiang Yuanshi and sat down on his palm. He sighed deeply and said, "You can't get rid of it anyway, so do as you please."
"Okay, thank you."
Maybe it was Jiang Yuanshi’s illusion, he felt that the corner of Z01’s mouth seemed to rise one pixel.
