Don't pick up the wild people on the roadside (IV)
"His temper has been like that from the beginning. I was used to it, but then I found that he was very friendly in front of others and smiled beautifully, but he never smiled at me, nor was he gentle. He always said he ordered me around. Later, because of some things, we had unexpected behavior that could not pass the review. I wanted to apologize, but he began to mock me and said that I was not good at work and was not good at this aspect. I was so angry that I quarreled with him, and then we made a bet to see who was not good enough. We kept on doing this and gradually I found that he was actually quite good. I tried to learn the social ways of humans and confessed to him, but what I got in return was a sentence of 'Are you sick?' His face was fierce and bad. I thought I should have been rejected. In addition, I did drag him down during the mission and almost killed him, so I applied for unbinding."
A round fur ball appeared in the center of the screen, revealing two black eyes. It looked cute and fresh, but the words it said were too explicit. Jiang Yuanshi often heard a blocked "beep beep" sound in his ears. He kept smiling and didn't need to go into so much detail.
Jiang Yuanshi never thought that there would be a day when he would listen to others complaining about their love troubles, and it seemed that they still had feelings for each other. It seemed that his application for unbinding would be used sooner or later.
B33: "I'm so sorry, I..."
"Are you sure he really rejected you?"
Jiang Yuanshi interrupted B33's apology, and B33 was stunned by the question: "In the human communication method, isn't this considered a sideways rejection?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "Yes, but it depends on the person. Different people have different personalities and ways of speaking. The same words can express exactly the same meaning. So did the person you confessed to express his rejection directly?"
B33: “…No, but I know his character. He always speaks his mind.”
Jiang Yuanshi: "Since you said so, why didn't he untie you when he kept saying you were incompetent, and why did he do things with you that were not approved so many times?"
B33: "I'm sorry, I don't know. The system data cannot calculate the human mind."
"Since you don't know, then ask. Since you have done something, you must get a clear answer, even if the result is failure. Otherwise, you will still have illusions in the future and regret not asking clearly. You will be entangled alone, but by the time you react, it will probably be too late. Hurry up. By the way, there is a saying that women are afraid of clinging men. This method should be used by selected people, otherwise it is boundless and tactless, but it should be suitable for your situation."
“Thank you for your help, but why is the last method suitable for me?”
Jiang Yuanshi frowned and said strangely, "After all, most people don't sleep with strangers. In this case, if there is no affection, they are just sex friends. If there is affection, they are either lovers or married. The former has no affection but is after the body, while the latter should have both. So at least you have one of them."
B33: "Body?"
Jiang Yuanshi: "I guess so. Why don't you search it yourself?" He had never had a relationship with her, so it was good enough that he could find out so much.
"Okay, thank you very much." Data lit up around the fur ball on the big screen. After a few seconds of calculation, Hei Dou's eyes lit up and his mood value continued to soar.
Maoqiu suddenly realized and said, "So he wants my body! Great, he is a lustful human being!"
ah?
Jiang Yuanshi was leaning over and trying to move his chair, and he almost fell over when he heard this.
As expected, the words spoken by non-human creatures are explosive.
B33 said gratefully: "Thank you very much for your help. I will do my best to help you complete the task!"
Jiang Yuanshi said "Hmm?" and asked, "Aren't you going to go find him? I remember the host also has the right to unbind once."
B33: "I have to help you complete the mission. And I have untied you. If he doesn't untied me, not only will I not be able to meet him, but you will also fail the mission due to the lack of the system. I can't let my feelings hurt you. Don't worry, I will work hard. I have a feeling that he will find me and maybe send me an email to scold me later!"
B33's tone was full of yearning. Jiang Yuanshi felt that the other party was moving in a strange direction. However, the system was very thoughtful. But if the other party's system was really Z01, it seemed that the speed of unbinding everything over there might be faster than theirs.
Jiang Yuanshi turned his neck and changed the subject: "In that case, let's do the mission first?"
B33: "Okay, we are still short of tasks. We have reported the situation 5 minutes ago. If there is no news in 3 minutes, we will use coercive measures."
Jiang Yuanshi asked curiously, "What are the coercive measures?"
B33: "Just skip the management department and go directly to the Lord God."
Lord God...he might die if he did that.
"Then let's wait a little longer. Can you see what stage the plot has reached now?"
The ball on the screen spun a few times, and then a progress bar popped up:
[Jiang Yuan will find Mu Changkong who has lost his memory on this day]
Jiang Yuanshi looked at the progress bar and asked: "Do I have to pick it up?"
B33: "It would be best if you don't pick him up, but since Mu Changkong is the main character, he must survive. If you don't pick up scum A, he will die, causing the mission to fail and restart. Here's a suggestion, you can throw him away to other homes after you pick him up."
"..." It's a bold idea. Jiang Yuanshi: "Good idea."
"But is this possible?" Jiang Yuanshi asked. B33 said as a matter of course, "Of course it is possible. Although no mission has been issued, you, as the host, act as the protagonist, proving that the mission is centered on Jiang Yuan. Generally, this kind of novel world is because of unreasonable plots, which lead to abnormal experiences of the characters, which will make readers dissatisfied and give bad reviews, and then it will be sent to the patch department for modification. In mild cases, it is just a patch for the plot. In serious cases, such as bad endings and interruptions, they all need major changes. As long as it is not completely cut off and the readers are satisfied, or if the response is good, it is no problem to delete it all (although it is impossible, but this is an exaggerated metaphor)."
The system can also make metaphors... like a human. By comparison, Z01 is indeed not a human.
But this guy is in love with humans.
Jiang Yuanshi asked casually: "Can your system interact with the host? Any species is allowed?"
B33: "According to the rules, it is not allowed. However, because there have been many cases of systems and hosts being together over the years, the Book Transmigration Bureau has formulated new rules. Once the system and the host confirm that they must be together, they will be bound together for life. Even if they break up, they cannot be separated. If successful, the system can follow the host and live in the form of its species. If unsuccessful, it will die in a cycle with the host."
It turns out that marriage is the same everywhere.
"Will the system also fall in love with other creatures?"
"Systems are also living things. They have normal physiological functions. Although systems cannot have children when they marry each other, they can adopt a new system after passing the assessment. I don't know about other species."
Normal physiological functions. I don’t know why Jiang Yuanshi always thinks of Z01. After all, the two systems he encountered are simply two extremes, one is too human-like, and the other is too unlike a living thing.
"I see. Your bookstore system is really perfect." Jiang Yuanshi slowly stood up, and after making sure that his whole body was intact, he said to the fur ball on the big screen: "Should we turn off the power here?"
B33: "Turn it off. After all, it consumes electricity. If this world requires payment of electricity bills, it will be over. If the host has no money, he will have to go to work."
Jiang Yuanshi closed his eyes. How could this world be so complete? If the funds for A-level missions were so sufficient, he hoped that the rewards for the missions would be higher.
"Why are you like this?"
"Ah, because he likes it. He was browsing the system skin store and cursing for 10 pages before he found this one he liked. He said it was cute and asked me to use it to appear in the space, so I will have this look everywhere from now on."
He shouldn't talk too much.
Jiang Yuanshi moved his fingers: "That's good, you have good taste."
B33 said proudly: "Yes, he has a good eye. Thanks for the compliment."
? You? Never mind, love-brained.
Jiang Yuanshi reminded everyone to turn off the power, opened the door, bent down and walked out, and saw a new area.
Is this... a bedroom?
Although the floor tiles of the entire house are brown, the color varies in depth, and it is obvious that they were pieced together. The white paint on the walls has peeled off a bit, and many places are covered with posters and newspapers, most of which are about machinery and fighting, but the style of other places is different.
An old, molted iron bed with gray sheets, a pink floral quilt, and a green checkered pillow. There was also a faded pink pig on the bedside. The desk next to the bed was made of two large iron boxes, which had been converted into drawers. There were all kinds of toy figures on the desk, and there were all kinds of books, including recipes, clothing, artificial intelligence, etc.
Jiang Yuanshi opened the books and found that there were notes in each book. The handwriting was neat and the font was a bit cute and fat. The recipes had the most annotations, and there were comments on each picture.
For example, "convenient nutrient solution" - it tastes bad but is cheap (vomiting expression) (crying expression)
Screw and Iron Meal Set (Special for Cyborgs)——Can humans eat this? Oh, cyborgs, that's fine.
Cherish Honey Cookies (Upper City) - I haven't tried it, and I can't get to it if I want to (hateful angry expression)
… Every comment feels extremely lifelike.
Jiang Yuanshi took a deep breath and closed the book without reading again. He turned and walked towards the wall he had just come out of. There was nothing on the wall. The wall was intact and there was no gap no matter how he touched it. How could he get in?
At this time, B33 spoke up: "Host, according to the world view, this is an invisible door, made up of data."
Jiang Yuanshi touched the wall. The knuckles exposed by his motorcycle gloves were intact with tiny scars. The calluses on his hand joints and fingertips were very thick. Was it because of years of fighting? He asked: "Shouldn't the premise of data composition be the corresponding equipment? Is its medium the wall?"
B33 answered: "After testing, all the walls of the room are special and have virtualization functions. They have specific users and the users must have relevant knowledge and skills such as computers and mechanical modification."
The original work was taught to Jiang Yuan by himself in his later years.
If he is really the owner of this room, then there will be another bug.
"Am I the one with the innate bug body?" Jiang Yuanshi muttered to himself. B33 didn't hear clearly and asked, "Excuse me, what did you say?"
"Nothing, let's go out first before it gets dark..." Jiang Yuanshi realized something at this moment. It seemed that the sky here had never brightened. The lights in the room were always on. If they were turned off.
“Pah.”
Jiang Yuanshi turned off the bedroom light, and the room instantly became dark. Colorful light came in from outside the window, very faint and flickering.
He leaned out of the window.
In front of me is a wall, and to the side are countless signboards of various series. There are houses made of iron walls, cement, and wood, arranged in a staggered manner. The houses are very tall, with countless iron wires connecting the two ends, with colorful clothes hung on them.
The houses seemed very far apart relative to each other. Once there was light in one house, you could see what the other was doing by squinting your eyes. But when you looked up, it was pitch black.
So this is what the Lower Town looks like.
After observing carefully for a while, Jiang Yuanshi left the bedroom and came to the living room. The living room was connected to the kitchen. The house was not big, about 40 or 50 square meters, but it seemed that the owner was taking care of it very seriously. Jiang Yuanshi didn't look at it much, but walked to the door and turned the doorknob.
"Then let's go find the scumbag. By the way, B33, can you estimate the area where Mu Changkong appeared? Otherwise, it's too big to be easy to find."
"Got it, I'll try my best!"
Jiang Yuanshi opened the door, and before he took a step, he felt something strange in his sight.
He looked aside with great reluctance.
A tall, scarred stranger sat against the door, his eyes closed and bleeding.
B33: "I'm sorry, host, there is no signal from this creature. I'm sorry..."
Jiang Yuanshi said silently: "It's okay, the creature came to the door automatically."
? !
B33 said in horror: "Host, what should I do? Why is he——"
"Bang!"
Jiang Yuanshi closed the door.
B33:
"Host, what are you doing?"
Jiang Yuanshi glanced at the time. Fortunately, it was early in the morning. "Didn't you ask me to find it today? It's at the door anyway. I'll trigger it later."
"That won't do, host! He lost so much blood!" Jiang Yuanshi sighed helplessly. It seemed that he had to bring up the rules again. However, B33 said anxiously, "There is so much blood that the place is dirty. That's a wooden floor. How long will it take to clean it?"
……?
Jiang Yuanshi: ...Is this the point?
