Chapter 210: Will this dilute it?
December 16th.
Early morning.
Su Ming got up lightly and subconsciously wanted to grab a cigarette from the cigarette box. Empty.
"..."
Go outside the room.
No. 72 is still sitting in the corner, charging sluggishly. Only when the living facilities are closed will she recharge to the maximum extent.
"Master, aren't you going to sleep?"
"Can't sleep."
"..."
Her eyes were fixed on the small bottle in Su Ming's hand.
"I'm sorry, Miss An already knows about the DNA you provided me."
"Sooner or later we will all know."
"Wouldn't it affect the emotional stability of the master and Miss An?"
"...No."
emotion?
It’s just pity and not rejecting.
Su Ming took out the red wine from the wall cabinet and poured a glass of it.
"Gurgling."
It doesn't taste good. To put it bluntly, Su Ming didn't have the temperament to sway his glass of red wine and drink it down elegantly.
"The human body can be damaged to that extent, and the collapse of the building alone will not do it."
Found ‘home’ the day before yesterday.
What comes into view are ruins. There was no sign of life.
I picked up tools and dug in vain, but in the end I could only find broken things that resembled human tissue.
"Master, according to the test No. 72, except for your wife's DNA, the baby's DNA that is 99.99% consistent with yours, and the dander that is not recorded in the database and does not belong to the human body or conventional organisms."
"The house collapsed. Maybe it was an earthquake, or maybe those things ate her body."
"No. 72 thinks the probability is high."
"..."
Visual inspection No. 72. I found that she had changed her clothes, and the robe was tighter than before. An orange tracksuit that doesn't leak at all.
She took the small bottle, which contained more than the previous ones, but still drank it in one sip without changing her expression.
"Gudu."
Su Ming took another sip of red wine and said, "If I need to survive in this place for another 18 days, what do you think is best?"
"If the owner needs to spend 18 days safely, the risk in the laboratory will be minimized."
"If I want to find out, who ate her in the ruins?"
"...The master's physical fitness is still incomprehensible at No. 72, but the risk the master faces will increase exponentially as the number of times he goes out increases."
"You regard Xiaoye as a developer, right?"
"Miss Xia Ye is the only core developer of No. 72. She has the same authority as the owner."
"She gave me some abstract sword skills, but I haven't put them into practice yet. Since Xia Ye is your developer, you should know how strong she is, right?"
"The developer is the cutest in the world."
"?"
"...This is a command forced to be implanted by the developer. There is no need to perform too many operations, and it is a command that has no substantive meaning in the eyes of No. 72."
"Ha, is she doing this?"
No. 72 is not smart enough to understand why Su Ming is laughing.
"So, have you seen this before? Or is it recorded in your database?"
Su Ming summoned the Blade of Philosophy.
It was only used once, "God is dead, you are free." To use a multiple, it is a weapon that doubles in power. A faint blue light emits in front of No. 72.
"Seeing him again, No. 72 feels even more that the power contained in the master's body cannot be analyzed by the database of No. 72."
"Is there no record?"
"No."
"..."
Maybe I understand.
This is most likely the future after I rejected the dream game. Whether or not to go in was just a thought. In reality, rather than facing a non-existent crisis, after Xia Ye said it was okay...it was more about being able to continue to be a big brother. Being able to stand up for her when maybe one day even Xia Ye can't stand up.
She is not as smart as her, but she wants to far surpass her in strength.
Of course, it is also possible that I also came to the 'nightmare' world, but something happened and I chose to refuse to enter again. If he is discovered by them again and begged... he will deny having ever been to the 'nightmare' world, refuse to enter a new world again, and will choose to retire.
The mentality of contentment is really not good. Abnormal disasters that the whole world faces together...actually it doesn't matter. But it doesn’t work if it affects the people around you.
"No. 72."
"Here."
"Sort out the technologies you know. From mobile phones to artificial intelligence, to your composition. To various weapon technologies, sort them all out."
"If the owner needs detailed data, it will take about 150t of storage crystals."
"No, I don't want physical memory cards or anything like that, I want notes that can be remembered. Something that the human brain can remember."
"Master, with all due respect...this is almost impossible."
"As much as you can remember, start with the core technology that you think will take the longest to break through in 2024. I'll memorize it word by word."
"...Master, are all humans so strange?"
"Human power is limited, so people usually like to push their limits."
It's normal for your mood to be affected.
After all, the future An Shiyao is also An Shiyao. When I went there, I was still thinking about whether it would be considered NTR if I saw... future An Shiyao agreeing with her.
But there’s absolutely no need to think about it.
She is dead.
Do not affect each other. An Shiyao in 2024 will not become her dead self in the 'nightmare' world.
so.
Where is Xiaoye?
Did he die too? If it turned out like this, it must be an abnormal situation that even she couldn't solve.
It doesn't matter.
Do what you should do, don't get too angry, and don't forget what you should do when something happens.
December 16th.
morning.
"Brother-in-law, do you want to go out today too?"
During breakfast, An Xiaoxi asked silently.
"Yeah."
"But, No. 72 said it was -26 degrees outside today. And there are traces of those monsters."
"If you want to find out the truth about this world and want to go to Island City, killing more of those things is one of the steps."
"..."
An Xiaoxi wanted to say something more, but looked at Su Ming's calm expression and couldn't.
She knew it.
Once Su Ming makes a decision, no one can persuade him. An Shiyao couldn't persuade her at first, and now she can't do anything. Unless it creates trouble that makes Su Ming have to stay.
"I know."
"Since my brother-in-law has decided to go out, I will stay here honestly. My brother-in-law will definitely feel much more comfortable without having to worry about anything."
In the end, nothing was said or done.
An Xiaoxi just watched as Su Ming reentered the elevator.
When the elevator completely moved up, she looked at No. 72 who was sitting in the corner copying notes.
"What are you doing?"
"Technical Notes Master Needs."
"Technical Notes?"
"..."
After listening for a while, An Xiaoxi realized that Su Ming planned to memorize the densely packed small characters in front of No. 72 using his brain.
"Brother-in-law, I'm really not in a good mood."
"According to the observation of No. 72, the master is moving towards the established goal with full confidence. It is a state of great motivation that humans say."
"It's just because I'm in a bad mood that I get motivated. But maybe it's because of what I did last night... that's why I changed so quickly. I think I did something meaningful."
"..."
"No. 72, are you really that dependent on your brother-in-law?"
"It's not dependence, but currently compared to conventional charging methods, the master's DNA can help No. 72 convert purer power faster. Even if all the power supply facilities in the laboratory fail, No. 72 will be enough to support the master and An The lady is using the living facilities normally.”
"Is that so?"
"..."
Staring at No. 72 lying at the table, concentrating on copying notes at a speed more than ten times faster than a normal person. The rustling sound of fingers sliding across the phone screen never stopped.
"Give me one too."
"You want to recite it too?"
"No, I don't know when it will end. I don't know if I will remember it after it ends. But if I remember... just think that I am helping my brother-in-law check for mistakes and fill in the gaps."
"Are you checking for any leaks and filling them up? No. 72 understands."
"And..."
"Please tell me."
"Forget it, now...it's a little hard to say."
"..."
What a strange idea.
At first, No. 72 suddenly broke into the bathroom and was startled.
Looking at her now, I felt like she was just an android. It's just that I prefer to listen to my brother-in-law and sister. I don't think of myself as an administrator and will not treat myself as an android.
The developer is my brother-in-law's wife.
The active addition of sex mode in it means that she gave it permission.
So, I don’t want to get to that point with myself. Let No. 72 do it for you... It's not impossible.
Anyway, No. 72 needs that kind of thing. Instead of simply satisfying herself, it is better to give it to her directly. If the environment gets worse and worse and the power goes out...that won't work. The environment here is so good, and you can even take a hot bath together.
December 16th.
noon.
The weather outside, as detected by No. 72, is very bad.
It can be completely compared to the ice and snow we saw on the first day when day and night alternated.
"Rumble..."
Mist lingers. Probably not one, at least three or more.
‘God is dead and you are free. ’
Call out weapons. Double, enchant.
It doesn't matter.
Last time, I was tied up because I had to take care of An Xiaoxi, but this time it was different.
It does make you feel weak afterwards.
But that was after the fact. If you want to level up and don’t deal with them with utmost sincerity, how can you do it?
It doesn't matter if death is painful, or it doesn't matter if you die many times.
There is no place to level up in reality, so what do you want to do if you don’t work hard in the dream?
"Let me find out, which one of you got it into your stomach?"
"Wow!"
"..."
Will the fog become thicker as the number increases?
It doesn't matter.
Just don’t use your eyes. What's so difficult? At first, An Shiyao and the others needed to see it before they could get it right, but later on, blind typing was completely fine. It's all the same thing.
What is the teaching video given by Xia Ye?
Cut the fish.
Cut the line from the middle and pull it apart.
It can be said that what Xia Ye gave me is abstract, but it is definitely not useless. December 17th.
Early morning.
Su Ming almost limped back to the laboratory. The clothes he was wearing were torn several times, and the blood stained them a horrible red color.
"Brother-in-law..."
"It's not a fatal injury, just take a sleep and it will be fine."
Su Ming was very satisfied.
He could feel that after dozens of rounds of fighting, his actual combat experience was increasing.
"I will eat their meat."
Although the resources of the laboratory are many, they are not unlimited. With two people, the best they can do is survive this round of missions.
They're not that bad either.
Especially after knowing which of them ate An Shiyao, it was easier to swallow.
December 18th.
Early in the morning, Su Ming sorted out the syyx company address given directly on the 72nd.
The same ruins.
Also found some human tissue.
"According to the database records, there are some that match the tissue brought back by the owner..."
"Secretary Gao."
"Li Renjie."
"..."
"Avril Lavigne."
Yeah?
My daughter also came here after graduating from Queen's University in Canada.
December 19th.
The company is huge.
Su Ming couldn't find it all in one day, so he could only bring back whatever he found.
In fact, it makes no sense at all.
Knowing who is buried in the ruins and eaten in the future cannot change anything in this game world.
December 20th.
The search is over.
Su Ming brought back a scarf. That was a pink scarf given to my sister during the Spring Festival of 2020.
Because I feel that my sister can be dressed more beautifully and less plainly, so I want to take the opportunity to let her change her style. As a result, my sister asked me, "How much savings do you have?", "Aren't you going to get married?", "Are you going to live alone as a sister-in-law?" ’ After three consecutive questions, Su Mingqian fell silent.
No human tissue.
But there are strands of hair in the scarf.
"It matches the DNA of the owner's sister recorded in the database, 99.99%."
It's her.
Why hasn’t this shabby scarf been thrown away in 2067?
How many provinces are there?
Didn't he already tell her in 2024 that he is not short of money?
"Brother-in-law."
The warm body was close, and the body was hugged tightly.
"Didn't you say that? This is a world that does not interfere with reality."
"Those who think too much are fools."
"..."
"Brother-in-law, why don't you take a rest today? Let me... dance for you, okay? I just imitate Xi'er's dance, and the clothes are similar."
"..."
Dance.
Did she open the closet after all?
She took out fishnet stockings that didn't match the shape of her legs. The high heels should have been in the bag. Keep memorizing it, now I'm using it.
There’s no use for ‘I don’t have a charismatic accompaniment’.
Instead, No. 72 took out his mobile phone and played "Rock, Paper, Scissors."
Rock, paper, scissors, paper is cute... Isn't it really shameful to write this kind of lyrics? A child? I said it was written a few years ago, but that was indeed when I was a child.
Why does dancing become a circle around oneself?
"Suck."
Now he squatted down again.
Didn't think that much.
I just feel like how bad would my future self be to make such a huge mistake? Causes everyone around him to disappear one by one.
Contentment is always the norm, and this mentality should be tempered no matter what.
"Woo?!"
He violently pressed the back of An Xiaoxi's head.
Further inward.
She didn't seem to feel any discomfort at all, but instead narrowed her eyes and allowed herself to be hit like this.
"Cough cough cough..."
After coughing violently, I carefully picked it up and cleaned it bit by bit.
Still have to practice.
He has practiced to the point where he can easily face countless behemoths and kill them with his eyes closed. Then, you can leave Dongshi and go to Haidao City New District. Whatever unsolvable problems were left over from the past will be clarified.
December 21st.
morning.
Su Ming set off again. I have no intention of looking for the remnants of an acquaintance.
What's the point?
Anyway, they are either acquaintances or strangers, they are either locals or outsiders, this is a nightmare world literally.
No. 72 said that today’s temperature is around minus 40 degrees. It was indeed a bit cold. In this extreme environment, the bonus brought by holding weapons will consume stamina faster to maintain body temperature.
I searched for it several times.
"Wow——"
A monster that's only slightly larger than a human doesn't have any actual combat experience.
What about stronger ones?
Not coming out?
"Ula Ula..."
Use the siren that was found and repaired by No. 72 as bait. Something will always come, right?
All so hungry.
"Rumble..."
oh.
More than expected.
"Puff——"
ha.
It seems that the things in the fog are a bit difficult to deal with this time. There was no visibility, it was all white. Not even its shadow can be caught.
But this movement was from someone bigger than any before.
December 22nd.
Night.
An Xiaoxi waited for a full day, and she recited four of the notes carefully. Backward and backward.
"No. 72."
Why?
Seeing Su Ming's expression was more serious than hearing any bad news about the future.
He took his backpack and put a light green tentacle stained with some kind of liquid. Compared with the previous one, there are no dense teeth or barbs, just tentacles.
"Help me compare, can this thing... match the developer's parameters?"
"..."
"Master, compared with the data provided by the developer, the similarity is 99.98%."
"99.98%?"
"...brother-in-law?"
An Xiaoxi could see clearly that Su Ming's injury this time was more serious than before, and his ribs were still bleeding.
It dripped down his trouser legs and onto the ground, but he didn't seem to feel it at all.
"I'm fine, I'm a little tired."
"..."
Somewhat naturally, he followed Su Ming into the bathroom. Unlike before when he always refused An Xiaoxi to help him undress and untie his belt, this time Su Ming didn't move and she was all in charge.
"Xiao Xi."
"I'm really tired today and don't want to do anything else. I just bandaged it and washed it and went to bed."
"..."
Even though An Xiaoxi planned to do something to refresh Su Ming like before. But it's useless, it won't stand up.
Are you really tired?
This time... is it really sad? Although I don't understand what the tentacles represent, I can see it.
December 21st.
Night.
In the bedroom, on the bed.
An Xiaoxi didn't do anything extra, she just put her arms around Su Ming's neck. Feel the flow of breath between breaths.
"You probably don't know."
"..."
"Xia Ye's body is different from ordinary people. It can be understood that...when you see the tentacles, you know that she is still alive, but maybe she is not her anymore."
Some of it is incomprehensible and feels very dreamy.
Why does the tentacle represent that Xia Ye is still alive, but not her? What's the difference?
"If I practice how to become stronger now, my life trajectory will be the same as my future."
"As a result...it seems like nothing can be protected."
"Brother-in-law."
"Huh?"
"Go to sleep, Xiaoxi is here."
"..."
"Facial cleanser, I never thought of doing this to a man...Brother-in-law, think about it carefully, what you are getting now is a precious and shy first time for a girl."
Nothing can be protected?
But sometimes, women don’t want to be protected that much. Sometimes, I also want to protect the ones I love in return. Even if it's just a little psychological comfort brought by hope.
"Besides, since when has my brother-in-law been unable to protect anything?"
"You can hear it...the heartbeat is also very fast now."
"If brother-in-law can't figure something out, just ask Xiaoxi about her breasts. You'll be able to figure it out."
"...Where does this fallacy come from?"
"I'm thinking about it now. Isn't it good? There are real breasts in front of you, and you can be played with willingly at any time."
"..."
but.
No matter what, it seems that it cannot be completely eliminated. How to do it? If I can't compare with my sisters and others, I may not be able to do it at all.
Maybe, you have found your own value.
This world is a world that would make my brother-in-law unhappy. My own meaning is to make him feel better.
Hug a little tighter.
Even the most powerful people have a fragile side. It would be nice to feel my own body temperature more. It would be nice not to think so much. Tomorrow's breakfast will be prepared by myself, and I will continue to memorize notes tomorrow... You are not allowed to go out tomorrow. When you encounter something sad, use something happy to dilute it.
Already told No. 72. Allow her to collect and enable some sex mode. Will this... make it diluted?
