Flirting with the World

Chapter 8

"It's already been three years?"

There were too many unbelievable things, and Lin was completely numb. If someone told her that tomorrow was the end of the world, she would've believed it.

Everyone was silent. Meow's mouth was open, and their faces were blank. Hua Manlou turned around and stared out the window with his hands behind his back. Legolas frowned.

Lin suddenly remembered something. She grabbed Undead, the only system player here, and said excitedly, "Then can you tell me if the project I've been working on has been successful?"

Undead smiled. "In the real world, I don't know you that well."

Lin was a little discouraged. Undead said, "But I've seen your name on the news. It said that the artificial intelligence you researched created the Fifth Technological Civilization."

"F * ck, you're lying, right?"

Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Undead didn't look like it was joking at all. She could only say, "Most of the news is exaggerated. Even if I'm that good, I can't remember anything when I return to the real world. In the end, I'll have to start all over again."

Undead gently pushed Lin's hand away and said with a smile, "Baby, you're so smart. So what if you have to start all over again?"

Lin: "…"

Undead: "Go to sleep. Someone will clean up the room."

Lin: "I have to change rooms. The one I was in was full of blood and stench. It's almost traumatizing …"

Undead: "You can sleep in my room."

Lin: "Okay …"

Meow: "That's not good. You've only known each other for a day!"

Hua Manlou: "… Men and women shouldn't touch each other. Miss Lin, why aren't you vigilant at all?"

Legolas: "…"

Lin: "I thought you wanted me to sleep in your room because you wanted me to sleep in the living room?"

Undead: "I don't want to sleep in the living room. I want to sleep in my own bed."

"No!" Lin: "I don't want to sleep with other people …"

Undead smiled. "Baby, I thought you needed someone to accompany you at times like this."

Lin: "… Even if I do, I can go find my sister."

Undead: "Aren't you afraid of something crawling over your bed at night?"

Undead continued, "As long as I'm here, even if something wants to get close to you, it can only hide in the window and watch. It won't dare to get close to you."

Lin: "… Brother, can you say something else?"

Undead: "Or do you think your sister can protect you better?"

Meow: "Big Brother, have you fallen? Before, there was a beautiful female player crying and begging you to join the guild, but you ignored her. Why are you treating her like … like that?"

"Huh?" Undead stared at Zheng Tai, "What did I do to her?"

Meow: "No, nothing. Don't stare at me like that. I'm very sensitive!"

Undead asked, "What did I do to her?

Below the square, you all heard it. She has agreed to be my girlfriend. "

Legolas said, "Hua, I'll go with you to find some tools to clean up the house."

Hua Manlou: "That's exactly what I wanted."

Meow: "I'll go too."

Thus, the three of them began to look for shovels and brooms.

Lin sighed. Her mood was really complicated. She could only say, "I'm an intermittent sleeper. If I get up in the middle of the night, just don't think of me as a ghost and kill me."

Undead: "Aren't you afraid that I'll do something to you?"

"You don't look like that kind of person." Lin Dao said, "Not to mention, I have sexual apathy. Apathy is contagious."

Undead: "…" What sexual apathy?

That night, Lin went into the bedroom first. She closed the windows and curtains tightly and laid on Undead's bed, sorting out the various things that happened today.

The others cleaned up the bodies in the house, threw the biomass waste into the incinerator, wiped the blood stains and human tissue fluid, finalized the details of tomorrow's action, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

In the morning, Lin opened her eyes. There were no traces of Undead sleeping in the room. She got up and went to the kitchen to get some water. She saw Undead preparing breakfast. The smell of bread made by the spit driver filled the room.

Undead was wearing a T-shirt and shorts. He was using a wall-breaking machine to crush coffee beans. His head was lowered, and his slightly curly hair covered half of his face. When he saw Lin, he handed her a cup of hot water. Lin drank the water and observed Undead's side profile.

He had a good figure. The muscles under his T-shirt were clear, and it was obvious that he had been working out for a long time. His hair was curled when he slept. His side profile was very three-dimensional, and his skin was comparable to that of an advertising artist. There was a shallow mole at the end of his eyebrow, near the corner of his eye, and it added a touch of beauty to his face.

The wall-breaking machine finally stopped. Undead said, "How did you sleep last night?"

It was a very warm conversation, like the dialogue between the male and female lead in a literary film.

Lin glanced at the alarm clock on the microwave and said, "I slept for nine hours. I've never slept so long."

"Very good. It means that you're adapting well."

Undead said as he poured the ground coffee into the powder trough. He then put the trough into the coffee pot and heated it on the gas stove.

Lin said, "I've never slept for more than six hours. It's really strange that I slept so long this time."

Undead turned to look at her. "Too many things happened yesterday. Your body can't take it. You're exhausted, so of course you'd sleep for a long time."

"I thought it was because the time mechanism inside the system is different."

Lin Dao said, "For example, the time here is infinitely extended. I slept for nine hours, but in reality, it might only be three or four hours …"

Undead: "Do you usually only sleep for three or four hours?"

Lin: "Of course not. If you include other trivial things, it's about five or six hours."

Undead's eyebrows twitched, but he didn't say anything.

Lin: "Can I have a piece of toast first?"

Undead: "Of course, but you can also wait for one more minute. The coffee will be ready soon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the espresso pot hissed and steam rushed up. The espresso swirled in the pot, and the aroma wafted out.

Lin: "I haven't eaten breakfast so seriously in hundreds of years. It's quite ritualistic."

Undead: "Fortunately, you became my woman in time. If you continue to mess around like this, there's a high chance that you'll die suddenly in the next few years."

Lin: "… Then should I thank you?"

Undead: "You're welcome."

Lin: "…"

Undead mixed two cups of coffee, sprinkled pepper on a plate of toast, and spread peanut butter on the other plate. She then put fried eggs on top to make two sandwiches with different flavors.

Lin was a little excited. "Didn't you say that you're not close to me?

How did you know that I like to add pepper? "

Undead: "Uh … the peanut butter is for you."

Lin: "…"

"… I still want to eat pepper." Lin took a bite of the toast in her hand and looked at Undead.

Undead reached over and Lin took a bite of the sandwich where Undead had just bitten. Her face was full of joy and satisfaction.

Undead: "Next time, I'll make your favorite flavor. But I don't know what the next world is like. If you don't dress well, the guild won't even have an office. It won't be easy to cook a meal, let alone make coffee and toast."

Lin said, "I don't care. I'll eat whatever you eat …"

Undead: "You're so self-conscious about being my girlfriend?"

Lin: "… Do you think that you can be a hooligan just because you're handsome?"

Undead: "Being handsome has nothing to do with being a hooligan. You just want to find a chance to admit that I'm handsome. I appreciate it."

Lin was speechless for a moment. She silently finished her sandwich and found it quite funny.

After breakfast, the two put on their sportswear and went for a walk in the nearby park.

It was past eight o 'clock, and there were few people in the park.

The sun was high in the sky, and the morning fog had completely faded away. The dew on the leaves had gradually evaporated, and the air was sweet and refreshing.

Lin liked this feeling very much. She stretched and said emotionally, "There's almost no difference between this world and the real world … At least I haven't found any bugs yet."

Undead: "What kind of bugs do you think there are?"

Lin: "For example, the NPCs. No matter how they are made, they must be different from real people."

Undead: "There's no difference. Sometimes you can't even tell the difference between players and NPCs."

"It's impossible to tell them apart from their bodies … But people like Hua Manlou and Legolas are very recognizable and easy to recognize."

Undead: "That's an example. For example, if you transmigrate to the martial arts world, other than a few famous heroes, how many of the other characters can you recognize?

If players and NPCs mix together, you won't be able to tell them apart at all. "

"Indeed."
