NOVEL WEB Chapter 23
Belloberg, administrative district.
In a restaurant that looks relatively clean.
At Bai Yu's request, Bronya found a window seat and the two sat opposite each other.
Jeppard did not come with them. He stayed in the restricted area with the iron guards.
"Bai Yu, what do you want to eat?"
"Just the same as you. I'm not picky."
"Oh... then... two fried rices and one Belloberg-style carrot and beet soup... well, that's good."
After Bronya ordered, she handed the menu back to the waiter and then looked at Bai Yu opposite.
Bai Yu held his face with one hand and looked at the street outside through the window.
On the street, people came and went, some chatting with friends and slowly going to the store, while others hurried on their way, busy with something.
Retracting his gaze, Bai Yu turned his head and looked at Bronya who was staring at him, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.
"Is there something on my face?"
"Hmm."
Bronya looked away and put her eyes on the table, moving her fingers absentmindedly, "I... I'm just a little curious about where you are from. After all, you don't look like a Beloberg."
"As for me... I'm from Earth."
Bai Yu held his face with one hand, "It's a beautiful planet, about 29.2% of it is land, 70.8% is water, there is no antimatter army, and there is no cold wave. Most people live pretty well, and they can even play a kind of recreational thing in their spare time - travel. "Then how did you get here?" "I floated here from outer space." Seeing Bronya's unbelieving expression, Bai Yu added, "Well, actually I accidentally opened a random portal and got here here, and my portal command is temporarily invalid, so I can't leave this planet... Do you believe this?" "This statement is not reliable..." Bronya shook her head, "But your ability is beyond my cognition, I don't think you need to lie." Fabricate data and rewrite reality. Only by experiencing it personally can you know how against the sky that rule is. "Well, I, Bai Yu, never lie." Bai Yu spread his hands. He never lied, and the people he lied to were usually not people. "I——"
"Madam, sir, your order has arrived."
The waiter pushed the dining cart over and served all the food. He bowed slightly and said, "Please enjoy your meal. If you need anything, just call me."
"Okay, thank you."
"You're welcome, ma'am. This is what I should do." The waiter withdrew.
"Please enjoy your meal, Bai Yu." Bronya smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Bai Yu.
"Well... OK."
Bai Yu didn't dislike the simplicity. He picked up the spoon and started eating.
At the same time, he summoned a light screen next to him and started searching.
[Address Book]

Silver Wolf
Select Silver Wolf and Bai Yu quickly inputs.
[Bai Yu]: Ban Ya, are you still in your Rocket Team?
Star Core Hunter Rocket Team
[Silver Wolf]: Boss, tell me if you have anything to say.
[Silver Wolf]: Also, my name is not Ban Ya, please recognize my name - Yin Lang.
[Silver Wolf]: Finally, I have repeated many times that the team I am in is called [Star Core Hunter], a well-known interstellar organization, not the Rocket Team, so, Boss, please don’t name us after the cartoons you have watched before, it’s weird.
[Bai Yu]: As expected of you, you are a Ban Ya, you type really fast.
[Silver Wolf]: ...
[Silver Wolf]: Tell me, what’s the matter?
[Bai Yu]: Didn’t I plan to start a game company before? I will recruit five people in the next two days.
[Silver Wolf]: So?
[Bai Yu]: Come over when there are ten or nine people, I need you to teach them something.
[Silver Wolf]: Uh... Can I not go? BOSS.
[Bai Yu]: If you don't come, half of your game coins will be deducted this month, all snacks and drinks will be confiscated, the material explosion rate of your game account will be reduced by half, and the traps will be tripled.
[Silver Wolf]: Go, go, go, I'll go, I'll go, isn't it okay? Don't say it, don't say it.
[Bai Yu]: When the time comes...
Bai Yu looked up at Bronya who was sitting on the other side, and continued to input.
[Bai Yu]: When the time comes, I should be able to introduceLet me introduce you to a new duck.
[Silver Wolf]: New duck? Another human embarks on the fate of the BOSS?
[Bai Yu]: Uh, that's not the case.
[Silver Wolf]: Okay, but I still have to remind the BOSS that I, Silver Wolf, am not a pressed duck...
[Bai Yu]: That calls you a fool?
[Silver Wolf]: This is worse than pressed duck!!! Forget it, whatever you like, BOSS, I'm here to work.
[Bai Yu]: Yeah, okay, good luck, little pressed duck.
[Silver Wolf]: ...
Close the chat communication and finish the fried rice on the plate.
Bai Yu put down the spoon and wiped his mouth with a tissue from the side.
"The fried rice tastes good."
He looked at Bronya who was drinking soup across from him, "Where are you going to take me next, Bronya?"
"Hmm..."
Bronya put down the soup spoon, looked up at the ceiling and thought for a few seconds.
"I don't know."
Her answer was very truthful.
"I haven't had such free time for a long time, and I don't know where to take you to see."
"Is that so? How about I take you to the Mechanical Tribe to play games?" Bai Yu made a suggestion.
The deal between Bai Yu and Bronya has not yet ended. Strictly speaking, he is still Bronya's [One-day Bodyguard].
"Mechanical Tribe? Games? The kind you just experienced in the Echo Corridor?" Bronya became interested.
"That's not the case. The Echo Corridor is a real game that was popular on the spur of the moment, and this time I plan to take you to experience a virtual game."
"Virtual game?"
"In short, there is a large screen with game screens playing on it, and you can use a small game connection device, the so-called game controller, to control the characters on the screen to pass levels, decrypt, explore, fight monsters, collect and so on."
Bai Yu explained briefly, "As for why I chose the Mechanical Tribe, it's because there are some good old machines there, and I can just transform them. into a game console."
"Where is the mechanical tribe? The lower area?"
"Yes."
"But...hasn't the road from the upper area to the lower area been blocked for a long time?"
Bronya folded her hands, with confusion in her eyes, "And...the lower area has been ordered to be blocked for so long...wouldn't it be a bit bad if I went there too?"
"emmmmm...you make sense, I really didn't consider the contradiction between the lower and upper levels, if you go down alone as an iron guard, you will indeed be caught by those scavengers for reward money."
Bai Yu changed his mind.
With Bronya, he really doesn't have to worry about Bronya's safety, but if those people surround them and keep attacking them...
He might kill a few of them, and then leave a bad impression on Clara.
Yes.
Forget it.
In fact, if you really want to play games, just find a place with more machines so that he can have enough materials to make them.
Thinking about it this way, the [Perpetual Motion] Mechanical House that meets the requirements is very good.
"How about going to Sylva's mechanical house?"
He suggested again, "I think Sylva won't mind us playing games in her house."
"Well... mechanical house, that's fine." Bronya nodded.
"By the way, don't forget to take this before we leave."
Bai Yu snapped his fingers.
The virtual light screen popped up, and Bronya received the same reward as the Iron Guards (1000 game coins).
"This is the reward you just got for clearing the level. It can be exchanged for a lot of things in my game store. It should be helpful for your life, don't forget to use it."
"Okay."
Bronya nodded.
Before in the corridor, Bai Yu had taught her how to turn on and off the light screen, and she still had some memory of this.
She turned off the light screen, and when Bronya waved to call the waiter to check out.
She was stopped by Bai Yu.
He pointed at the half bowl of Beloberg-style carrot and beet soup on the table and asked:
"Bronya, there is still so much soup left, don't you plan to finish it?"
"..." Bronya.
Waste is indeed a very shameful act, especially in a city like Beloberg surrounded by ice and snow and cracks.
But,
Do you think I can finish this big bowl...
