Lawyers, Provocations, The Master Plan.
"Inside the Whiskers".
Countless lines of the world are condensed into the shape of a film, as if they were solid, intersecting and flowing.
It was a memory fragment drawn from the brain of the contracted person waiting for revenge, and even when it was playing, there was a trace of transparent energy escaping, the very energy entropy that the main god had in mind.
The human brain read through these memory fragments one by one, and wriggled to absorb the energy into it, the dark red surface then covered with a thin layer of translucent luster, making the whole mastermind look like a crystal and large jelly.
The Lord God's exclusive AI observed for a long time, before asking, "...... Are you angry."
The Lord God sneered.
AI: "......" looks like it's pissed off all right.
After a long time of picking through the many world lines, the Lord God paused his movements and asked out loud, "......1198's situation."
The AI searches for Chi Xiaochi's ID number and transfers the existing message to the datapad.
Host code: 1198
Host name: Chi Xiaochi
World Difficulty Level Rating: A
World completion level: 95 (in progress)
Host status evaluation: all functions are good and stable, the mission is about to be completed.
Total entropy obtained: 116 (below average 3310)
The Lord God was all but incredulous about that last number: "...... How many?"
The AI said, "116."
The Lord God suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice, "What about the other values?"
The AI dutifully checked, "Contractor 3399 Shen Zhangqing , accumulating entropy value of 0."
Lord God: "......"
The AI kindly inquired, "Would you like to know more?"
The Lord God said, "...... continue."
AI: "The object of the mission has a favor value of 0 and a remorse value of 95."
Before the Lord God could comment on this, the AI said, "Just a moment, there's been a change in the remorse value."
The Lord God can't wait to send Chi Xiaochi to the next world: "This world is going to be finished?"
The AI says, "Existing value 85."
Lord God: "......"
AI: "Hold on, now 73."
Lord God: "......"
The reason for this is that Chi Xiaochi was bored early in the morning and realized that Zhou Kai's remorse value had risen to 95 overnight.
He was taken aback and summoned 061, "Mr. Six, Mr. Six."
061 as a system needs to be on standby once in a while. After falling asleep in bed with Chi Xiaochi last night, he naturally reintegrated into Chi Xiaochi's body and has been sleeping until now, before being activated by Chi Xiaochi's voice.
He wasn't much of a riser, but he wasn't fully awake yet, and his muffled, first-awake voice tickled his ears, "What's wrong?"
Chi Xiaochi: "Look how Zhou Kai's remorse value is almost full."
061: "......" What's with this disappointed tone.
061 turned his head to check, "He was up half the night yesterday with a painful wound."
Loss of reputation, people and money, this kind of thing can not help but think, the more I think the more angry, a mouthful of old blood want to spit can not be spit out, of course, will regret.
Upon learning why, Chi Xiaochi lamented, "It's A-ranked difficulty. I don't think it's a good idea to take advantage of it."
061: "......" Taking the liberty of asking what the hell are you trying to do.
Chi Xiaochi said, "I remembered that remorse value can also be redeemed for things. You gave me a dog yesterday."
061 still not fully awake: "So ......"
Chi Xiaochi said, "Show me around the warehouse."
...... line and shop around.
061 took Chi Xiaochi for a morning stroll.
Because the Remorse Value is the only reference statistic for passing worlds, the items in the Remorse Value Warehouse are of higher value, and the required values are a bit on the low side.
Chi Xiaochi chose three expensive premium cards and two intermediate cards from a large number of cards, making the "Beauty in Bloom" effect cards a complete set of high, medium, and low cards, which is quite a rewarding experience.
061 reminded him, "There's only sixty or so Remorse Values left."
Chi Xiaochi swaggers, "Spend it and earn it."
...... spend it and earn it again.
061 think, for Zhou Kai, Chi Xiaochi is his humanoid self-propelled present.
However, in "a moment", the Lord God became furious.
"What is he doing?" The Lord God said angrily, "Provoking me??"
The AI didn't object, but secretly wondered if the rules didn't say you couldn't play like that.
Theoretically, Chi Xiaochi could stay in that world for as long as he wanted to, but remorse value was so rare that almost all the mission executives regarded it as a precious treasure, and had to be careful to spend even one percent of the increase, so the cards in the remorse value exchange warehouse were always dusty, and very few people were willing to squander them.
Chi Xiaochi is the first person to squander his remorse like this.
But Chi Xiaochi has the capital to do so.
After shopping, Chi Xiaochi started a busy day.
He visited Herp in the hospital again, not for any other reason than to reassure the original owner who might still be inside him.
After playing Frisbee with Herp for a while, he got a call from the hospital nurse practitioner saying that Zhou Kai was clamoring to see him and said he wanted a lawyer.
Herp arched his head toward Chi Xiaochi's chest, and Chi Xiaochi followed Herp's floppy ear and said, "Can you please give him the phone."
A moment later, Zhou Kai's hoarse voice rang out over there, "Surname Shen, get your ass over here."
Chi Xiaochi hung up the phone without any hesitation.
061: "...... Why pick up if you're going to hang up."
Chi Xiaochi wrapped her arms around Herp's neck, "It's just for him."
061: "......"
Chi Xiaochi: "Hee hee hee hee."
061 think Chi Xiaochi is running towards the ultimate goal of making Zhou Kai have a brain hemorrhage.
Soon the call came back.
Zhou Kai gritted his teeth on the other end, "Shen Zhangqing, you fucking ......"
This time Chi Xiaochi didn't even give him a chance to say a full sentence and hung up.
Probably realizing in hindsight that he wouldn't have a chance to open his mouth if he continued to hang like this, by the time the third phone call was made, his temper had finally been restrained quite a bit, "Shen Zhangqing, I have something to talk to you about."
Chi Xiaochi, while playing paw to paw with Herp, said to 061 in relief, "Look at that, finally speaking human language."
Shen Zhangqing, whom he played, said with a humble attitude, "I know, you're going to have to hire a lawyer."
Zhou Kai said, "Yes."
Chi Xiaochi was silent.
Zhou Kai was not surprised to see that Shen Zhangqing did not give his consent.
He grinned and sneered, "You're afraid? You're afraid I'm going to spill the beans about you and Sam hooking up, purposely knocking me up like this, and falsely accusing me of Alzheimer's?"
It does seem like you can think a lot when you're lying in bed with nothing to do.
This is probably a realistic portrayal of what happens when your feet leave the ground and your clever intellect takes over the high ground again.
Chi Xiaochi said, "Find it."
Zhou Kai never expected Shen Zhangqing to agree, and for a moment he couldn't turn the corner, "...... Hmm?"
Chi Xiaochi: "Can't you understand? I said find it."
Not waiting for Zhou Kai to say anything else, he continued, "But I need to be the one to find it for you, and every lawyer you meet with, every word you say, needs to be vetted by me."
Zhou Kai remained silent for a long time, then smiled back in anger: "Shen Zhangqing, what do you mean? You dare to put me under house arrest?"
"Mr. Zhou." Chi Xiaochi's tone was worried, but she wore a light smile on her face, "The doctor's diagnosis now is that you are suffering from severe dementia coupled with strong aggressive tendencies. This is a measure of last resort, considering the safety of the lawyers who are meeting with you. And ......"
He raised his eyelids slightly and said, "Mr. Zhou, you'd better get used to this life sooner rather than later."
The building is about to fall, and no one wants to stand under the dangerous wall of Zhou Kai.
Chi Xiaochi returns to the villa after Zhou Kai angrily slams down the phone.
Isong and three other servants were given eviction orders by Chi Xiaochi yesterday.
In the early hours of this morning, Isong was the last to leave and Chi Xiaochi was left alone in the large villa.
He was quite used to this life, and when he returned from visiting Herp, he rolled up his sleeves and cleaned the villa inside and out by himself, throwing out any items that Izon and the others couldn't take with them.
Perhaps because everything is rushing to appear in a pile, Chi Xiaochi was cleaning and had the TV on as background music when she accidentally heard a familiar voice in the entertainment news.
It's Lily, Zhou Kai, the model love interest.
Lily, who has not been seen for a long time, held a press conference and apologized to the public, to Fiona, whom she insulted, and to Shen Zhangqing, the original spouse, without any makeup and in tears.
Chi Xiaochi, wearing a cufflinks and holding a mop, watched attentively the much emaciated Lily on TV.
She was genuinely sorry, or at least her tears were much more genuine now than the smiles she'd had when she'd done the charity work in the first place.
After watching her speech and entering the question-and-answer session with reporters, 061 exclaimed, "There must be a lot of reporters now who want to come and interview Shen Zhangqing about her feelings."
Chi Xiaochi continues to clean and sweep the melon shells out of the cracks in the sofa.
It's still left over from when Chi Xiaochi and 061 were watching a movie in the living room while Zhou Kai was in a coma.
Chi Xiaochi lowered her head and said, "If I were Shen Zhangqing, I should feel nothing."
061 thought and said so.
"She doesn't owe Shen Zhangqing anything emotionally. Zhou Kai did not love Shen Zhangqing, and even if she did, after three years, it should have dissipated."
061 said, "So that means forgive her?"
After all, Lily was doomed to say goodbye to all public activities from the moment her comments trickled out.
This is devastating for Lily, who is only a junior high school graduate and used to making a living in front of the camera.
"...... forgive?"
Chi Xiaochi put down the mop, went to Zhou Kai's safe, and said to 061 with ease, "Open it?"
061: "...... hey." Move to open.
Chi Xiaochi rummaged around inside and took out a real estate certificate, "I broke the story about her racism, and whether or not she was originally forgiven after the apology is a matter for the public. As for her destroying other people's marriages, all I can say is, firstly, the house she lives in is quite valuable; secondly ......"
Chi Xiaochi held up the real estate license in his hand, and the name in the owner's column was Zhou Kai.
Chi Xiaochi said, "She probably didn't think that Zhou Kai would be that stingy."
And during the half day that Chi Xiaochi was busy, the Lord God also chose the next world for Chi Xiaochi to go to.
Implanting a small Trojan horse silently into 089's randomized system, the Lord God twisted his full rage into a contemptuous sneer, "Ha."
...... No one can leave here and take the secrets of the system with them.
Taskers are no exception to the system.
They are cogs, batteries, energy sources, and all they need to do is obey.
Only when the gears wear out, the batteries run down, and the energy goes out, do they have the right to go into the trash.
If the watchdogs didn't exist and Chi Xiaochi and 061 hadn't violated the rules, the Lord God could have done exactly what he did to 061 back then all over again.
Nowadays 061 and Chi Xiaochi, neither of them knew of the existence of the other, so the Lord God intended to use the means he was most familiar with.
--Give him a reason he can't refuse, and let Chi Xiaochi stay willingly in a certain world.
