Chapter 210 Will this dilute the issue?
12 month 16 day.

early morning.

Su Ming climbed up quietly and subconsciously tried to reach for a cigarette from the cigarette box. It was empty.

"..."

Go outside the room.

No. 72 was still sitting in the corner, charging sluggishly. She would only charge to the maximum extent when the living facilities were turned off.

"Master, don't you want 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 to me."

"We'll know sooner or later."

"Will it not affect the stability of the relationship between the master and Miss An?"

"……Won't."

emotion?

Just compassion and not rejecting.

Su Ming took out a glass of red wine from the wall cabinet.

"Goooooooooo."

It doesn't taste good. To put it bluntly, Su Ming doesn't have the temperament to shake the red wine glass and drink it all in one gulp elegantly.

"It can damage the human body to that extent, but it is not enough to just collapse the building."

Found 'home' the day before yesterday.

What came into view was ruins. No signs of life.

They picked up tools and dug in vain, but in the end they could only find broken things that resembled human tissue.

"Master, according to the test No. 72, we have removed the DNA of your wife, the DNA of your baby that is 99.99% consistent with yours, and the dandruff that is not recorded in the database and does not belong to the human body or regular organisms."

"The house collapsed. Maybe it was an earthquake, or maybe those things ate her body."

"No. 72 thinks the probability is high."

"..."

I looked at No. 72. I found that she had changed her clothes, which were tighter than the previous robe. An orange sports suit that would not leak anything.

She took the small bottle, which contained more than the previous one, but she still drank it in one gulp without changing her expression.

"Gudu."

Su Ming took another sip of red wine. "If I need to survive in this place for another 18 days, what do you think is the best option?"

"If the owner needs to spend 18 days safely, the risk will be minimized in the laboratory."

"If I want to go and find out who ate her in the ruins?"

"…No. 72 cannot yet understand the master's physical condition, but if the master goes out more often, the risks he faces will increase exponentially."

"You think of Xiaoye as a developer, right?"

"Ms. Xia Ye is the only core developer of No. 72. She has the same authority as the owner."

"She taught me some abstract sword techniques, 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 person in the world."

"?"

"…This is a command that the developer has forcibly implanted. There is no need to perform too many operations. In No. 72's opinion, this command has no real meaning."

"Huh, she does that?"

No. 72 is not smart enough and cannot understand why Su Ming is laughing.

"So, have you seen this before? Or is this recorded in your database?"

Su Ming summoned the Blade of Philosophy.

I only used "God is dead, you are free" once, and the weapon with amplification is doubled. It emits a faint blue light in front of No. 72.

"Seeing him again, No. 72 feels even more strongly that the power contained in the master's body cannot be analyzed by No. 72's database alone."

"Is there no record?"

"No."

"..."

Maybe I understand.

This is probably the future after I refused to enter the dream game. Whether to enter or not is just a matter of thought. In reality, I am more concerned about continuing to be a big brother after Xia Ye said it was okay than facing a non-existent crisis. I want to stand up for Xia Ye when she can't stand up one day.

Not as smart as her, but I want to be much stronger than her.

Of course, it is also possible that I have also come to the 'nightmare' world, but later something happened and I chose to refuse to enter again. If I were to be discovered again by them and begged... I would deny having been to the 'nightmare' world, refuse to enter the new world again, and choose to retire.

The mentality of being content with what you have is really not good. The abnormal disasters faced by the whole world... It doesn't really matter. But it's not good to affect the people around you.

"number 72."

"exist."

"Sort out all the technology you know. From mobile phones to artificial intelligence, to your makeup, to all kinds of weapon technology, sort them all out."

"If the owner needs detailed data, about 150 tons of storage crystals will be needed."

"No, I don't want physical memory cards or anything like that. I want notes that I can remember. Things that the human brain can remember."

"Master, with all due respect... this is almost impossible."

“Remember as much as you can, starting with the core technology that you think will take the longest to break through starting in 2024. I memorize it word by word.”

"...Master, are all humans so strange?"

“Human power is limited, so people usually like to break through their limits.”

It's normal to be affected by your mood.

After all, the future An Shiyao is still An Shiyao. When I went there, I was still thinking, if I meet... the future An Shiyao agrees with me, would it be considered NTR?

But there is absolutely no need to think about it.

She is dead.

They don't affect each other. An Shiyao in 2024 will not become the one who died in the "nightmare" world.

and so.

Where is Xiaoye?
Did he die too? If this happened, it must be an abnormal situation that even she couldn't solve.

It doesn't matter.

Do what you should do, don't be angry and incompetent, and don't forget what you should do when something happens.

12 month 16 day.

early.

"Brother-in-law, are you going out today too?"

During the break of breakfast, An Xiaoxi asked silently.

"Ah."

"But No. 72 said it was -26 degrees outside today. And there were signs of those monsters."

"If you want to find out the truth about this world and go to Sea Island City, killing more of those things is one of the steps."

"..."

An Xiaoxi wanted to say something else, but couldn't open her mouth when she saw Su Ming's calm expression.

She knew it.

Once Su Ming made up his mind, no one could persuade him. An Shiyao couldn't persuade him back then, and she couldn't do anything now. Unless she created trouble that forced Su Ming to stay.

"I see."

"Since my brother-in-law has decided to go out, I will stay here honestly. My brother-in-law will definitely feel more comfortable without any worries."

In the end, nothing was said and nothing was done.

An Xiaoxi just watched Su Ming re-enter the elevator.

When the elevator had completely gone up, she looked at No. 72 who was sitting in the corner taking notes.

"What are you doing?"

"Technical notes that the master needs."

"Technical notes?"

"..."

After listening for a while, An Xiaoxi realized that Su Ming was planning to memorize the densely packed small words in front of No. 72.

"Brother-in-law, you really don't seem to be in a good mood."

"According to No. 72's observation, the master is confidently moving towards his set goal. He is in a state of high energy as humans would say."

"It's because I'm in a bad mood that I'm motivated. But maybe it's because of what happened with me last night that I changed so quickly. It can be considered as doing something meaningful."

"..."

"No. 72, are you really that dependent on your brother-in-law?"

"It's not dependence, but at present, compared with the conventional charging method, the master's DNA can help No. 72 convert more pure power faster. By then, even if all the power supply facilities in the laboratory fail, No. 72 will be enough to support the master and Miss An to use the living facilities normally."

"Is that right?"

"..."

I stared at No. 72, who was bent over the table and concentrating on copying notes, at a speed more than ten times faster than a normal person. The rustling sound of his 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, or whether I will remember it after it ends. But if I remember it... just think of it as me helping my brother-in-law to fill in the gaps."

"Fill in the gaps? No. 72 understands."

"besides……"

"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 feel that she is just a bionic person. She is just more willing to listen to her brother-in-law and sister. She does not regard herself as an administrator and will not regard herself as an administrator.

The developer is my brother-in-law's wife.

Actively adding the sex mode into it means that she allowed it.

Well, if you don't want to go to that stage with me, then I can let No. 72 do it for me...

Anyway, No. 72 needs that kind of thing, so instead of just satisfying herself, it's 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 we can take a hot bath together.

12 month 16 day.

noon.

The weather outside is very bad as detected by No. 72.

It is completely comparable to the ice and snow I saw on the first day when the day and night alternated.

"Rumble..."

The mist was lingering. There were probably more than one, at least three.

'God is dead, you are free.'

Conjure weapons. Double, enchant.

It doesn't matter.

Last time I was restricted because I had to take care of An Xiaoxi, but this time is different.

Indeed, you will feel weak afterwards.

But that's after the fact. How can you level up if you don't put your best efforts into dealing with them?
It's okay to die painfully, and it's okay to die many times.

There is no place to level up in reality, so what are you trying to do if you don’t work hard in your dreams?
"Let me find out which of you has been swallowed?"

"Wow!"

"..."

Will the fog get thicker the more they are?
It's ok.

No need for eyes. What's so difficult? At first, I needed to see to type with An Shiyao and the others, but later it was completely OK to type blindly. It's all the same.

What was the teaching video that Xia Ye gave?

Cut the fish.

Draw a line down the middle and pull apart.

It can be said that what Xia Ye gave was abstract, but definitely not useless. December 12th.

early morning.

Su Ming almost limped back to the laboratory. His clothes were torn in several places, and blood stained a horrible red.

"Brother-in-law..."

"Neither of them are fatal. They will be fine after a good night's sleep."

Su Ming was very satisfied.

He could feel that after dozens of rounds of fighting, his practical experience was increasing.

"I just eat their meat."

Although the laboratory has a lot of resources, they are not unlimited. With two people, they can only survive this round of missions.

They're not that bad either.

It was easier to swallow, especially after knowing which one of them ate An Shiyao.

12 month 18 day.

Early in the morning, Su Ming sorted out the address of syyx company given by No. 72.

It's still ruins.

Some human tissue was also found.

"According to the database, the tissues that match the one brought back by the master are..."

"Secretary Gao."

"Li Renjie."

"..."

"Avril."

is it?

My daughter also came here after graduating from Queen's University in Canada.

12 month 19 day.

The company is big.

Su Ming couldn't find it all in one day, so he could only bring back whatever he found.

In fact, it is meaningless.

Even if you know who is buried in the ruins and who has been eaten in the future, it is impossible to change anything in this game world.

12 month 20 day.

Finished looking.

Su Ming brought back a scarf. It was a pink scarf that he gave to his sister during the Spring Festival in 20.

Because he thought his sister could dress more beautifully and not be so plain, he wanted to take the opportunity to ask her to change her style. But his sister asked him three questions in a row: "How much savings do you have?", "Are you not getting married?", "Are you going to be a sister-con and live a lonely life in the future?" Su Ming was silent.

No human tissue.

But there are strands of hair in the scarf.

"The DNA match with the owner's sister's DNA recorded in the database is 99.99%."

is her.

Why hasn't this crappy scarf been thrown away in 2067?

How much can you save?

Didn’t I tell her in 2024 that I’m not short of money?
"Brother-in-law."

The warm body was close to me and I was hugged tightly.

"Didn't you say that this is a world that does not interfere with reality?"

"Anyone who thinks too much is a fool."

"..."

"Brother-in-law, why don't you take a break today? I'll... dance for you, okay? I'll imitate Xi'er's dance, and the clothes are similar."

"..."

Hot dance.

Did she open the closet after all?

She took out the fishnet stockings that didn't match her legs. The high heels should be in the bag. She insisted on carrying it and now she was using it.

It's no use 'I have no charm accompaniment'.

Instead, No. 72 played "Rock, Paper, Scissors" on his mobile phone.

Rock, Paper, Scissors, Paper is cute...Are you really not ashamed to write such lyrics? Childish? It was written a few years ago, so it was indeed a child's age.

Why does the dance end up revolving around yourself?

"Suck it."

Now he squatted down again.

Didn't think that much.

I just wonder how bad my future self would be to make such a huge mistake, causing the people around me to disappear one by one.

Be content with what you have, and there should be a limit to this mentality.

"Ugh?!"

He suddenly pressed the back of An Xiaoxi's head.

Further inside.

She didn't seem to feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, she narrowed her eyes and let himself be impacted.

"Cough cough cough..."

After coughing violently, he carefully picked it up and cleaned it bit by bit.

Still have to practice.

Practice to the point where you can easily face countless of those giants and kill them with your eyes closed. Then, you can leave Winter City and head to the new district of Island City. Whatever difficult problems were left over from the past, they will be figured out.

12 month 21 day.

early.

Su Ming set out again, without any intention of looking for the remains of his acquaintances.

has no meaning?
Anyway, everyone is either an acquaintance or a stranger, either a local or an outsider. This is a nightmare world that literally means what it is.

No. 72 said the temperature today was around - degrees Celsius. It was indeed a bit cold. In such an extreme environment, the bonus of holding a weapon would consume physical strength faster in order to maintain body temperature.

I searched for several rounds.

"Wow—"

The monsters, which are only slightly larger than humans, cannot gain any practical experience.

What about stronger ones?

Not coming out?
"Ula Ula..."

Use the police siren that we found and had No. 72 repair as bait. Something will come, right?

All so hungry.

"Rumble..."

Oh.

More than you thought.

"Pfft-"

what.

It seems that the thing in the fog is a little bit difficult to deal with this time. There is no visibility at all, and it is all white. Even its shadow cannot be caught.

But this movement was bigger than any previous one.

12 month 22 day.

Night.

An Xiaoxi waited for a whole day, and she recited the four notes carefully. She could recite them by heart.

"number 72."

Why is it?

Seeing Su Ming's expression was more serious than any bad news about the future that I had heard before.

Holding a backpack, there was a light green tentacle stained with some liquid. Compared with the previous one, it did not have densely packed fine teeth and barbs, just a tentacle.

"Help me compare this thing... to see if it matches 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 saw clearly that Su Ming's injuries this time were more serious than before, and his ribs were still bleeding.

It flowed down his trouser legs onto the ground, but he seemed not to feel it at all.

"I'm fine, just a little tired."

"..."

He followed Su Ming into the bathroom somewhat naturally. Unlike before when he always refused An Xiaoxi's help in undressing, this time Su Ming did not move and let her serve him completely.

"Xiao Xi."

"I'm really tired today and don't want to do anything else. I just bandaged it up, washed it, and went to sleep."

"..."

Even if An Xiaoxi planned to do something to help Su Ming regain his spirits as before, it would be useless.

Are you really tired?
This time... it's really sad, right? Although I don't understand what the tentacle represents, I can see it.

12 month 21 day.

Night.

In the bedroom, on the bed.

An Xiaoxi didn't do anything extra, she just simply hugged Su Ming's neck and felt the breath flow between her breaths.

"You probably don't know."

"..."

"Xia Ye's body is different from that of an ordinary person. It can be understood that... seeing those tentacles, we know that she is still alive, but perhaps she is no longer her."

Some of it is hard to understand, and it feels very dreamy.

Why would the tentacles represent that Xia Ye was still alive, but not her? What was the difference?
"If I am practicing how to become stronger now, my life trajectory will be the same as my future life trajectory."

"As a result... it seems like nothing can be protected."

"Brother-in-law."

"Ok?"

"Go to sleep. Xiaoxi is here."

"..."

"Facial cleanser, I never thought I would give this to a man...brother-in-law, think about it, what you are getting now is the precious and shy first time of a girl."

Is there nothing to protect?
But sometimes, women don’t really want to be protected. Sometimes, they want to protect their loved ones in return, even if it’s just for the psychological comfort that Sese brings.

"Besides, when did my brother-in-law stop protecting anything?"

"You can hear it, right? My heart is beating fast now."

"If you have any questions, just ask Xiaoxi's breasts. Then you will understand."

“…Where does this fallacy come from?”

"I'm thinking about it now. Isn't it good? There are real breasts in front of you, ready to be played with at any time."

"..."

but.

No matter what, it seems that there is no way to completely eliminate it. What should I do? I can't compare with my sisters, so I may not be able to do it at all.

Maybe, I have found my own value.

This world will make my brother-in-law unhappy. My significance is to make him feel better.

Hold me tighter.

Even the strongest people have a weak side. I wish I could feel my body temperature more. I wish I could stop thinking so much. I will prepare breakfast tomorrow and continue to memorize my notes tomorrow... I am not allowed to go out tomorrow. When you encounter sad things, dilute them with happy things.

I have already told No. 72. Allow her to collect and turn on some sex mode. Will this dilute the effect?
