Chapter 20 Lin Xiaoyu's Plan
Lao Wang stood at the front desk of Yaoliang Technology holding a takeaway box, with rain still on his helmet.
"Hello, Meituan No. 57, this is..."
Before he finished speaking,
The new intern, a young man with silver-gray hair, wearing AirPods and looking a bit exotic, walked over here.
This is Ye Xiaoxuan's evaluation of him. To be honest, this guy has a very special temperament, which makes him stand out a bit among Yaoliang Technology, which is full of ordinary people.
The young man glanced at the order and sneered:
"Hey, isn't this Brother Wang? I heard you changed your job to deliver food?"
Lao Wang's fingers pinched a few wrinkles on the plastic bag.
He recognized this face - during the interview last month, this guy couldn't even tell the difference between Java and JavaScript, but now he was sitting at his old workstation.
"Please sign for it." Lao Wang handed over the pen.
The intern didn't answer the call, but raised his phone: "Wait, let me take a picture first - 'The former architect personally delivered the meal to me, what a great service!'"
The moment the flash light came on, Lao Wang's eyes flashed with the code he had worked overtime until the early morning to modify, which now became the "performance achievement" of this young man.
"Xiao Zhang," said Ms. Liu from the Finance Department who happened to be passing by. "What did you order?"
"How can that be possible!" The intern laughed so hard that his shoulders shook. "This is a senior employee who was 'optimized' by our company last month! The boss specially ordered it and said it's called 'resource recycling'!"
There were a few awkward dry laughs all around, mixed with a few genuine voices of gloating.
Sometimes people just have some inexplicable sense of superiority.
If it were in the past, Ye Xiaoxuan might have thought this kind of person was hateful, but now she only feels sorry for him.
Even the fox knows to feel sad when the rabbit dies. If these young people don’t have any special background, then he will be the next one.
Lao Wang felt something black and red churning in his stomach.
vomit--
Ye Xiaoxuan, who was in Lao Wang's body, almost immediately synchronized the feeling with him, and was trapped in Lao Wang's consciousness space and almost felt nauseous.
Not long after, Lao Wang left.
In the rain, a cloud of black and red mist rose from the sewer and silently wrapped around his wrist.
The power of rage materialized.
But that’s not all.
Until the delivery guy ran a red light and was caught, until he was given a bad review for overtime delivery, until his wife and children knew about his unemployment, until even the delivery guys no longer needed him, until...
The smiling faces put together to form an almost boundless surface, surrounding Lao Wang, laughing at him, mocking him, and... pitying him, amid the endless siege.
Ye Xiaoxuan, who was in Lao Wang's body, also experienced an unknown amount of time along with his memories.
Finally, on the day when the cold noodles stall opened, he was completely swallowed up by the power.
"You guys..."
Lao Wang’s story ended, and Ye Xiaoxuan successfully walked out of the story. She successfully passed the level, or it could be said that the difficulty of this level was precisely to endure the invasion of the furious power.
Enter Lao Wang's body, and with an almost personal experience, if you can control the rage in your body, then you win.
When Ye Xiaoxuan came out of the story, she found that the switch of the console had been turned off.
The originally scalding hot iron plate no longer had any residual heat. It seemed that the system had been shut down long before she entered the story.
As for the exact time when she entered the story, she had no idea of it anymore.
The world in the copy does not require food or drink, which not only reduces the difficulty of their survival, but also blurs her estimation of time.
The numbers of time jump meaninglessly, just as absurd as the space itself.
Then, the next step is...
Jin Dachuan, or Lao Wang, what exactly does he want to do?
Ye Xiaoxuan was walking on the iron plate, running towards the original location at the fastest speed, but she suddenly stopped at the corner.
They did not agree on a meeting point before leaving.
Or it's useless even if we make an agreement.
Because even if an agreement is made, in a copy full of crises, any mark may disappear in an instant, and any agreement may not be fulfilled due to unexpected circumstances.
Where should she find them?
It seems that I have to use that ability, the ability that comes from pure power.
Ye Xiaoxuan called it "guiding magic", or in other words, the sixth sense.
The moment the magic was activated, a strange tingling sensation suddenly ran through the back of her neck.
Ye Xiaoxuan unconsciously turned her body to the right, as if an invisible thread was pulling her nerves.
The muscle memory formed by training made her alert immediately, but then she forced herself to let down her guard and let her body move according to instinct.
Fifteen minutes later, as she looked at the figures gathering in the distance, cold sweat soaked her undershirt.
This kind of precise intuitive navigation was like a pre-programmed drone. The experience was not very good and gave her a creepy feeling.
Just like... that creepy feeling of familiarity I had when facing Jin Dachuan before leaving the team.
On the twisted metal floor, countless electronic attendance sheets wriggled like living things, each one stamped with the bloody fingerprint of “voluntary overtime”.
At this moment, Jin Dachuan, with a dull look in his eyes, was surrounded by Lin Xiaoyu and the others. His Meituan uniform melted like wax in an instant, revealing the work badge of Yaoliang Technology underneath.
The three words "Wang Jianguo" on the metal nameplate are oozing rust-colored liquid.
"Jin Dachuan, no... I should call you Wang Jianguo." Lin Xiaoyu led the team to trap Jin Dachuan, her voice colder than before, "This instance should be over."
There were some unexpected things with this plan, but it was finally over, Lin Xiaoyu thought.
I don’t know what happened, but after using the item, the copy level inexplicably rose from Wu to Ding. But it doesn’t matter. As long as the props for passing the level are found, the next thing will be easy.
If this were an anime, this should be the end of the story, but Ye Xiaoxuan's temples were throbbing at this moment.
No, something is wrong.
This feeling reached its peak when Lin Xiaoyu took out the item "Tears of Tolerance" to pass this dungeon.
Lao Wang opened his trembling lips, but what was revealed was not teeth, but densely packed microchips, which were forming the arc of a smile.
Ye Xiaoxuan:!
It was one night after I became a magical girl.
Ye Xiaoxuan lay straight on the bed, staring at the ceiling, her pupils glowing faintly with magical light in the darkness.
“…I can’t sleep.”
She turned over and buried her face in the pillow, trying to fall asleep in the most primitive human way: "suffocating yourself to promote sleepiness."
Five minutes later, she looked up suddenly, and her long hair exploded as if she had been struck by lightning.
“Why!” She rubbed her face frantically. “I was so exhausted from working overtime today that it’s lucky I didn’t faint. I actually have insomnia!”
Or, does she have any special illness now? Should she take some time to go to the hospital for a check-up?
Ye Xiaoxuan was thinking this when Zi suddenly appeared in her mind and said to her, "Because your body is now running on magic power, you don't need inefficient functions like sleep."
"That's actually the case." Ye Xiaoxuan sat up with a somersault, "I thought so, but the magical girls in anime all have to sleep!"
Zi just looked at her speechlessly and said, "Animation is animation, reality is reality, we can't generalize them."
Ye Xiaoxuan turned a deaf ear to him, and suddenly pulled Zi out of her mind, pinching her neck with both hands: "Then tell me a story."
