Chapter 71
"..."
"Bai Yu, Miss Jing Liu asked Miss Xi'er to let me bring you a message: Please go back to [Earth] and let her go."
Inside the mechanical house.
Jeppard was repeating to Bai Yu exactly what Xi'er asked him to bring.
"Huh?" After listening, Xi Luwa looked at Bai Yu in surprise and asked in confusion: "Bai Yu, are you still imprisoning people on [Earth]?"
"There is no such thing as imprisonment."
Bai Yu shook his head at her.
Jing Liu has been lying on his [Earth] for more than 700 years, and he didn't even pay for the bed.
How can it be said that he imprisoned people?
"I just provided her with a place to live and to see when she can wake up."
"[Earth]?" Liang Zi, who was on the side, heard the two incredible words and couldn't help but ask with interest: "Bai Yu, is Earth fun?"
"...Not fun, not fun at all."
Bai Yu turned around and shook his head at her.
I almost forgot that Liang Zi was still here... In comparison, Bai Yu was still reluctant to tell this guy who seemed to be the incarnation of Aha about the existence of [Earth].
It would be troublesome if it was blown up.
"Pop."
Raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
A colorful portal appeared.
Bai Yu looked at Liang Zi and said to her seriously: "You are not allowed to participate - uh, you are not allowed to follow, understand?"
"Hehe."
Liang Zi pouted and shrugged.
┐(‘~`;)┌
Then, she took a deck of cards from her pocket, started shuffling, and asked: "Does anyone want to play cards?"
Naturally, no one responded to her at the scene.
Bai Yu turned his eyes away from her and looked at the others, "Anyway, you guys can chat slowly, I'll go deal with this matter first."
After that.
He took two steps back and entered the portal.
When the portal closed, a card quickly rushed in.
The people in the mechanical room immediately turned their attention to Liang Zi.
Liang Zi had taken out a deck of cards at some point and was pretending to shuffle them...
"Oh, my hand slipped."
Liang Zi grinned at the people and scattered all the cards in her hand, "Let's go play some games."
She walked to the game console next to her and sat down, took out an eyeball-shaped candy, peeled it and put it in her mouth, then picked up the game console, turned it on, and started playing eagerly.
Eyeball candy?
Ji Zi looked at the candy and a strange idea popped up in her mind.
Add it to the coffee...
Walter retracted his gaze, looked at Xiluwa, and said, "Miss Xiluwa, do you have a pen here?"
"Yes."
Xiluwa walked behind the counter and took out a few pens for signing from below, "Mr. Walter wants a pen..."
"Sign."
Walter walked over and put the employee contract that Baiyu had given him before on the counter, picked up a pen and began to sign his name, "Baiyu said that this job will not be difficult, but the three-month probation period is enough to prove whether this job is suitable for me to continue."
His purpose is very simple, just get to Gundam and it will be good.
"I am not very suitable, but it is not bad to be able to observe the star god so closely." Jizi also picked up a pen.
Seeing this scene, Jeppard understood something more or less.
He summoned the weapon barrier and handed it to his sister who didn't know what to do, "Sister, if you have nothing to do... can you help me check the weapon?"
"Oh, okay."
Shiluwa took the barrier and began to check it.
Jeppard glanced at Liang Zi, whom he didn't know, and then leaned against the counter and waited.
After thinking for a few seconds, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Xier.
I was asked to do something... I guess I did it this way.
...
[Earth].
When Bai Yu opened the portal and came over, he saw Jing Liu sitting by the lake, looking at the lake and talking to himself.
"..."
"You said you are my demonic body?"
"Do you think I will believe this?"
"No matter what you are, I feel that you are not a good thing. Can you please die?"
"Tsk. Look at you."
"The demonic body's excuse doesn't make sense. Now you are talking about your own game system. Who would believe it?"
"You are so noisy... Stop chattering in my ears!"
While speaking.
Jingliu stopped talking and turned around with a feeling.
She saw Baiyu standing not far away.
"So, who are you?"
"I am Baiyu."
Baiyu walked over and stopped about one meter away from Jingliu. "You don't seem to like it very much."
"Who?"
"It." Baiyu raised his hand and pointed at Jingliu's shoulder, the Q version [Mirror Flow] automatically showed up.
"Did you make this little thing?"
The Q version of the game Mirror Flow had a body, and Mirror Flow stretched out his hand and easily grabbed the other party.
"What's the use of it?"
"I'm not a little thing, I'm the first generation [game] system, you have to respect me." The Q version of Mirror Flow waved his hands and said, "I was created to suppress the demonic body in your body."
"It's right."
Bai Yu did not refute, "It was indeed created by me to suppress the rebellious abundant power in your body."
"..."
Mirror Flow thought about it.
It seems to make sense.
Since she woke up from that big house, she has not shown any signs of the demonic body, as if the demonic body had long been away from her.
But that is impossible.
The final fate of the Xianzhou people is to fall into the demonic body.
Once you fall, it is irreversible.
Those with strong wills can temporarily maintain their sanity from being eroded too seriously, and their bodies will not turn into monsters.
Those with weak wills, after falling into the devil's Yin, will grow branches that proliferate and mutate in their bodies, and their bodies will lose their human form and become monsters.
That's what I said.
But is the other party really worthy of my trust?
Recalling my own memory fragments.
Okay.
Maybe the other party is really right.
Jingliu was silent for a few seconds, and let go of the Q version of himself, stood up, and looked at Baiyu.
After a while.
She spoke: "Mr. Baiyu's life-saving grace is beyond repayment, and I don't have much on me. If you like this sword, you can take it."
After that.
She summoned the weapon and stuck it into the ground.
Obviously, only the weapon on her body still has some value.
"You are a strange person, do you believe it now?"
Baiyu scratched his head, feeling that Jingliu's attitude had changed a little inexplicably.
Before, she was cold and indifferent to him... Now she suddenly said she saved his life...
Hiss.
Are the people in Xianzhou so quick to think?
If he was not sure that [Earth] was very safe, Bai Yu would have thought that the silence for a moment had changed Jingliu.
"There are still some scattered fragments of memory in my mind. You and another voice, whose name I don't know, saved me in outer space, right?"
Jingliu turned around and sat down by the lake again.
She originally wanted to go back to Xianzhou.
But now, she suddenly remembered something.
She had fallen into the devil's body and killed her fellow soldiers, and she had been expelled from Luofu...
Even if she went back and said that her devil had been suppressed, Jingyuan might believe it, but would Shi Wangsi believe it?
Jingliu looked up at the spotless sky.
This place looks pretty good, so he might as well retire here.
"The sword is good, but I don't usually use weapons."
Bai Yu's voice came from behind.
Then, there was a slight sound.
The sword fell beside Jing Liu.
Jing Liu put away the weapon without looking back.
Bai Yu walked over and sat cross-legged by the lake, "I heard that you asked someone to tell me to let you leave here, right?"
"That did happen before." Jing Liu turned her eyes and thought of the purple girl she just met. Then, she shook her head, "But now it's not the case for the time being."
"Why?"
"Because..." Jing Liu pondered and shook his head, "Suddenly I remembered that I have nowhere to go."
"Judging from your clothes, you should be from Xianzhou. Isn't Xianzhou your home?" Bai Yu was a little confused.
"It used to be, but not now..."
Jing Liu let out a long sigh, "After the Xianzhou people fell into the devil's Yin, they were no longer human."
"Okay."
Bai Yu thought for a while and continued to ask: "Then do you choose to stay here or leave?"
"...Didn't I give you the answer just now?"
"Okay."
Bai Yu nodded, took out a notebook and a pen, "Since you are awake, let's settle the accounts."
"Settle the accounts?" Jing Liu was stunned for a moment, "What accounts?"
"You lie here with me You have been sleeping here for so long and occupying such a big bed of mine. I am not a saint, so of course I need to calculate the cost of your accommodation here. "
Bai Yu wrote down three numbers in his notebook: 1, 1000, and 700. "I will simply calculate it. You have been sleeping here without moving, occupying my bed all the time. If you calculate it at the price of 1000 game coins a year... You have slept here for 718 years and three months, so let's count it as 700 years. You owe me a total of 700,000 game coins."
"How much? ? ? "
Jing Liu opened his mouth wide..
She was not surprised that she owed a huge amount of 700,000 unknown currency, but was surprised by the number of 700 years.
Her eyes were full of doubts, and she asked again in disbelief: "How long have I been sleeping here?"
"Seven hundred and eighteen years."
Bai Yu spread his hands, "We found you more than seven hundred years ago."
"Seven hundred and eighteen years..."
Jing Liu's pupils shrank slightly, "In other words, it is now the 8098th year of the star calendar?"
It has been more than seven hundred years since that incident?
This... Does the Luofu Fairy Boat still exist now?
"Star calendar?" Bai Yu hesitated for a moment, "Is the star calendar a historical chronology for the fairy boat to record time?"
"Yeah."
Jing Liu nodded quickly, thinking that Bai Yu would know something.
Unexpectedly, the other party just made a long "Oh" sound and then there was no movement.
She waited blankly for half a minute, and finally couldn't help asking: "So, Mr. Bai Yu, is it the 8098th year of the star calendar now?"
"I don't know."
Bai Yu shrugged, "I don't live in Xianzhou, how do I know what year of the star calendar you are now?"
"Okay..." Jing Liu sighed.
"Back to the topic, you owe me 700,000 game coins now, how do you plan to repay it?"
Bai Yu turned over the notebook, took out a contract and put it on it, handed it to Jing Liu, and said casually: "Game coins are special currencies issued by our company. There is basically no other way to get them except our company. Do you want to consider working for me for a few years to pay off the debt?"
"Work for you? Me?"
Jing Liu pointed at himself, "Are you serious?"
"Take a look at the treatment first, maybe you will agree." Bai Yu smiled, trying to make himself look harmless.
"..."
Jing Liu took both the notebook and the contract.
After a quick glance at the contract, she was the simple company Bai Yu mentioned.
But...
This service for Star Gods... In addition to [Game Star Gods], other Star Gods in the universe also play games?
(ps: Jingliu knows about [Game] Star Gods, but doesn't know much about them)
Wait——
"Your company is for serving Game Star Gods?" Jingliu looked puzzled.
"That's not the case. "Star Entertainment" is competing with "Star Peace". The other party serves the general public in the universe, and we create games to serve Star Gods, although Star Gods are generally unlikely to play."
Bai Yu explained a little and said, "If you don't want to sign the contract, I won't force you to sign it. But if you want to leave [Earth], you have to work for me."
"Let's put the question of whether to work or not aside for now..."
Jingliu blinked, she still didn't quite believe it, "I really slept for more than 700 years?"
"You have so many questions... OK, OK."
Bai Yu sighed and pointed to the contract, "First, confirm it. Do you want to sign that paper? If you do, you will become my employee. Then I can give you an idea and let you see if it is seven hundred years later. "
"What if you don't sign?"
"If you don't sign, you will be a deadbeat who owes me seven hundred thousand game coins. You can wait to do hard labor for me to pay off your debts."
"Uh..."
Jingliu picked up the pen, glanced at the contract, and looked up at Baiyu, "Can I ask a question?"
"It's okay as long as the question is not too outrageous."
"Your identity is the [game] envoy?"
"Do you believe me when I say I am the game star god?"
"No."
Jingliu shook his head decisively.
Whose star god is like this? Huanyue Aha?
"Then just treat me as the [game] envoy."
Baiyu did not argue about this issue.
It doesn't matter whether the identity of the star god is revealed or not.
For such things, everything is up to fate, and there is no need to argue about it.
"Hahahahahaha Bai Yu, you are also a Lingshi, I am dying of laughter——"
A joyful laugh came from behind a tree not far away.
"Who?"
Jing Liu's expression changed slightly, and he immediately grasped the sword.
The person who came was quite powerful, and she didn't notice him hiding so close...
"..." Bai Yu looked at the tree helplessly.
"Don't do it, don't do it, let's talk it out."
The person behind the tree came out, a petite pink-haired girl, she covered her stomach with a smile on her face, "I am Bai Yu's friend, [Joy] Lingshi Liang Zi."
"Are you also a Lingshi?"
"Yeah, I am a Lingshi, you can't beat me."
"..."
Jing Liu's mouth twitched.
Are you looking down on people!
Lingshi?
Be a LingshiAmazing, huh? ! !
"We'll know if we can beat him... just give it a try." Jing Liu clenched his sword and swung it casually, and the cold sword energy attacked Liang Zi.
"Fighting and killing is not good, can't we have some fun?"
Seeing this, Liang Zi sighed.
She raised her hand to catch the sword energy, and condensed it into a solid, tossing it in her hand.
Then, she looked at Jing Liu, her mouth corners raised wildly:
"According to the rules of the turn-based game, next, it's my turn."
"Be careful behind you."
...
(I slightly modified the year problem in the previous chapter. 8098-7380 is 718... How did I calculate it as 800...)
