Hong Xiaoduo possesses the virtues of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, but she can't bring herself to show respect to the old man who has wronged her.
"Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I'm going to have lunch." Hong Xiaoduo's tone was a little impatient.
"It is said that if a destined person is found and has been sent here, then we should first take them around to experience and understand the local customs and culture, and get used to it." The old man said this while observing Hong Xiaoduo's expression and reaction. The more he spoke, the slower his pace and the softer his voice became.
"What were your ancestors planning to do? Were they planning to come to ancient times to start a business? Did they trick me into coming here to do your research and investigation?" Hong Xiaoduo immediately got angry.
The old man on the screen scratched his head awkwardly, accidentally pulling out a strand of hair that was supporting the Mediterranean Sea, which looked somewhat comical.
"And then?" Hong Xiaoduo, barely containing her anger, pressed for an answer after waiting for a reply.
The old man on the screen looked at her guiltily: "That's all the content I just unlocked. I came to tell you right away. Don't worry, I'll continue to unlock other keys as soon as possible."
After hearing this, Hong Xiaoduo took a few deep breaths to avoid losing her temper.
"So, the password key your father set wasn't a single key, but rather a series of keys? To find the final answer, we need to decrypt them one by one?" Hong Xiaoduo asked, based on her understanding.
The old man on the screen nodded and said, "That's very likely."
Hong Xiaoduo was speechless: "Are you sure this was done by your father, and not your grandson?"
“My son is a botanist, and my grandson is a musician,” the old man replied immediately.
Hong Xiaoduo was somewhat surprised to hear this: "No, isn't your family very persistent about this matter? And why are your son and grandson doing other things? Are you so sure that you can handle this matter and put an end to it yourself, so you didn't let your children and grandchildren join in?"
"Your rebellious father doesn't have any objections either?"
"My father said, 'I'll make the decisions for my own children.' He said he regretted not daring to disobey his grandfather and letting me share this burden," the old man said sadly.
It has to be said, this old man's unreliable father was actually quite good to him, and the old man was also quite good to his children and grandchildren. Wait, what does their supposed father-son bond have to do with me?
Hong Xiaoduo, who had just been touched, suddenly realized that, in her eyes, they were bad people who tricked her in order to achieve their own goals!
"Here's a friendly suggestion: get a DNA test done when you have time to confirm that your dad really is your dad. The differences in your personalities are just too great!" Hong Xiaoduo felt annoyed at the emotion she had just felt and couldn't help but say something to make up for it.
The old man looked at her helplessly. "Thank you so much for your kindness!"
"I need some things, please write them down. Something for checking the time, weather, hand and face cream, solar-powered lighting, cold medicine, anti-diarrheal medicine, hemostatic and anti-inflammatory medicine, get me all of those." At this point, Hong Xiaoduo paused, thinking about what she might have forgotten to say.
The old man on the screen looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, opening his mouth several times but holding back from making a sound.
"And there are silver notes and gold notes, etc. When you're traveling, you need money everywhere. You know how hard it is to get by without money, right? There's another problem. You're always the one who calls me when you need something, so how can I call you when I need something?"
Oh, and one more thing, cough cough, get me some things—things for a woman's period. If you don't know anything about them, ask your wife when you get back. That's all for now. I'll let you know next time if I think of anything else.
"I'm not trying to make things difficult for you, and you don't need to promise to compensate me with any benefits when we get back. I don't need the serious illness you painted, but rather practical benefits that can solve the immediate problem. You tricked me into coming here, so you should at least provide some convenience, right?" Hong Xiaoduo said without any politeness.
In other words, there's a slight delay when it comes to the sanitary napkin; to put it another way.
"I didn't say you were being difficult. The original programming also states that, without causing confusion or trouble for later archaeologists, we will try our best to meet your requests."
However, what the system can provide may be time-limited and limited; it will disappear automatically when the time is up, or it will disappear when it attracts the attention of others.
Hong Xiaoduo, don't be anxious or upset. I can't change the original program, but I can add to it. However, it's not up to me to decide what new program to add. I have to do various debugging and modifications until it meets the requirements of the original program before I can insert it.
"I've already started working on it. By then, all sorts of resources and skills, whether you can think of them or not, will be available. Just give me some time, you have to trust me." The old man spoke very sincerely.
Hong Xiaoduo, however, didn't overlook the crucial point: "Why didn't you mention these things when we connected just now? You even said that the content that was just unlocked was limited? How can you expect me to believe you like this?"
"No, it's not my fault. The instructions on it say that if the destined person, which is you, mentions those requirements, then I can tell you these things."
"If you hadn't mentioned it, cough cough, I wouldn't have needed to bring it up either." The old man said, his voice involuntarily lowering again.
Even he himself felt that what his father did was a bit unfair! But there was no use in it, his father was more talented than him, and even unlocking the key his father set was so difficult, one can imagine how difficult the rest was.
If you want to modify the original version that your father upgraded, you'll have to have the ability yourself. Sigh!
Hong Xiaoduo was speechless. Based on the information revealed so far about the unreliable old man's father, she couldn't help but suspect that the things she had been tricked into doing might not be anything serious or important, or perhaps they were originally intended to be.
"I'll improve this space so you can contact me promptly if anything happens. Until then, if you think of anything, you can write it down on paper and stick it where I can see it," the old man quickly added when he saw she wasn't speaking.
"Did they say whether it's possible to change the fate of some people here? If so, what would happen?" Hong Xiaoduo asked again.
The old man immediately responded, "I didn't see these in the content unlocked today, but when I was young, I heard my grandfather tell my father that they could neither restrict nor control what the destined people do here."
"I want to confirm whether the dynasty I'm in now, and the people and things I'm seeing, are fictional creations by your elders, or whether this dynasty truly exists and everything is real."
If you want me to trust you, then please tell me the truth...
