After Online Dating with Unlimited Streaming BOSS - Chapter 58
Rong Yi patted the old man on the shoulder amidst the cheers of the crowd, motioning him to follow him. The two walked down the roaring ramp.
The captain and his mermaid kept their promise and stayed here all the time.
She launched [See Parents], and the two looked at her with the same gentle eyes.
“Sister-in-law,” said the captain.
“Ah,” said the mermaid.
The mermaid’s injury has been very good. At night, when the players are all asleep, the captain will take her to play on the deck. I recently tried swimming in the sea. As long as the captain calls, she will come back obediently.
“She is very good.” The captain looked at the mermaid gently: “I will restrain her well.”
Seeing that there was still a mermaid hidden in the engine room, the old man was a little shocked, but he had a lot of experience and quickly calmed down: “You called me here to make her lose her regeneration ability, right?”
After this period of verification, Rong Yi was almost certain that this was the last mermaid in the full copy. Just make sure that in case she doesn’t regenerate anything but anything, future players will be much less at risk.
Captains will also have a lot less trouble to deal with.
The old man activated his skills, and lightly pressed his skinny hand on the forehead of the mermaid: “Okay.”
The mermaid touched his forehead for no apparent reason, his eyes ignorant and innocent like a child.
“Thank you.” The captain took off his hat and bowed: “I will live here with her and try not to hinder the player’s clearance process in the future.”
Rong Yi smiled slightly, and just as he stepped forward to shake hands with him to say goodbye, another person came down from the gangway.
“…It’s about to dock, what are you doing here?” Raymond shouted at them in the noisy crew noise. Seeing the mermaid’s reaction was the same as the old man, he was stunned, and then laughed.
He stepped forward and punched the captain on the shoulder: “What is lost is found, you are lucky.”
The captain shook his head: “It’s not what you think.” He asked Rong Yi how long she had skills, and Rong Yi replied that you can chat for 40 minutes.
“It won’t take that long.” The captain patted Raymond’s shoulder: “It’s too noisy here, go up and talk.”
He told the mermaid to go back, and walked up the ramp with the three players.
Without the rainbow fish, the weather is always gloomy, as if a heavy rain is coming.
But the atmosphere on the deck was quite cheerful. After all, the land is getting closer and closer, and customs clearance is just around the corner.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen real happiness on this ship.” The captain leaned on the stern side of the empty cruise ship, the wind blowing his short black hair.
His face is always clean, and there is no stubble, and his clothes are neat and crisp. Even if he has been in the engine room for nearly half a month, he will not see any dirt or wrinkles.
In stark contrast to Raymond, who can beg for food with a bowl by his side.
The two people who were fighting with each other before, in the relaxed atmosphere about to clear the customs, finally can talk calmly and calmly for a while.
The captain spoke first: “I guess, your wishes are similar to mine.”
Raymond stroked his beard, which was as long as his hair and curled: “None of your business.”
The captain was not angry, but laughed.
Raymond suddenly said, “Hey, do you know what it’s like to be a ghost?”
“I really thought about it.” The captain said, “In the days when I couldn’t find her, I was always thinking about whether she would not be reborn, and turned into foam on the sea like the fairy tale said. ?”
“I thought about it later, it’s impossible, we are NPCs, an important part of the copy, and it’s not redundant data. How can we say that it disappears when it disappears?”
“I just thought, I have become an evil spirit. Has she been turned into a ghost by the system? It must feel better than a ghost, at least it can fly.”
Raymond: “I can fly, but it feels—very empty.”
Captain: “…I take the liberty to ask, have you ever died?”
Raymond: “That’s right. In the last instance, I experienced the feeling of being a ghost for a while.”
“I thought I was free to become a ghost. But it’s not like that.”
“But being a ghost in a copy is different from being a ghost in reality, right?”
The captain patted him on the shoulder: “Dear passenger, please be more materialistic. There are no ghosts in reality. When a person dies, he dies.”
Raymond: “…I really hate you.”
The captain laughed heartily. “Go ahead, my friend! I just wanted to tell you this.”
Raymond cut: “You are talking about being light. You can find a clone of your lover as a daughter, and you don’t have to be immersed in boundless despair and pain. There is no such good thing in reality. In this way, in the end, it will still fall.”
The captain nodded without hesitation: “Yes, compared with you, I am really lucky.”
Raymond: “…I really hate you.”
Listening to the captain’s unbridled laughter, the old man sighed, “It’s nice to be young…”
Luo Huayue stood beside him: “Grandpa, do you want to add a friend?”
The old man shook his head: “Thank you girl. No need! I’m used to being alone, and adding a friend is more worrying.”
Luo Huayue was not reluctant, she put away her floating screen, and asked curiously, “Grandpa, do you think the game can fulfill your wish?”
The old man: “It’s not real, I’ve seen it for a long time. Although everyone enters the game with a strong purpose, in the end, how different is this game from reality?”
“But it’s all about doing human work and listening to destiny.”
He put the torn straw hat back on, and slowly paced away with his hands behind his back: “It will be indefinite in the future!”
Rong Yi mixed in with the players crowded on the side of the boat waiting to dock, and took out a small piece of neatly folded cloth from his trousers pocket.
There are no refrigeration facilities on board, and the baby octopus started to smell ominous many days ago. Rong Yi didn’t struggle too much and gave him a sea burial.
ICE and Zhang Haiyang patted her shoulders one by one, looking at the port that was about to arrive.
Zhang Haiyang: “The random boss is not so easy to die. You can see him again in the next instance!”
ICE: “Let me go out and have a drink with you?”
Rong Yi raised Bu into the sea, and with a loud whistle, the cruise ship slowly landed.
The broadcast sounded: “Congratulations, players, you have successfully returned within 30 days. The copy of the Dawn Goddess has been successfully cleared. The escape point will be opened in two minutes. Players are requested to wait on the deck and prepare for the return. Lucky Carnival sincerely wishes You, have a good time.”
In the festive cheers, Rong Yi opened the floating screen and checked X’s login status again.
The icon is grey and there is no reply.
Rong Yi: I have cleared the customs.
Rong Yi: Will you wait for me outside?
Rong Yi: No need to reply, just know.
X did not reply.
Rong Yi knew that she was deceiving herself, but only in this way could she feel better.
The escape point opened as scheduled, and she was surrounded by the crowd and walked into it. An invisible force pulled her off the deck—
The last sight she saw was the captain standing on the empty deck with the mermaid, waving to her in the distance.
Rong: Where are you.
Rong: Say something.
Rong: Take care of me, I’m afraid of you.
Rong: Are you stuck in the game? If this communication method can not be used, you can tell me another way!
Rong: The lights flicker, or you can hack into my computer!
Linda packed up the pile of documents she had just processed, and quietly looked at Rong Yi who picked up the phone again.
Half a month ago, Rong Yi sent a leave email to HR, saying that there was an emergency at home and he might be away for a month. As a result, half a month later, she suddenly appeared on the roof of the company building and was locked out.
From then on, Rong Yi seemed to be a little off.
Of course, she didn’t neglect her work, she worked overtime to make up all the work she had left in the past half month, and she worked so hard that her eyes were red.
But in the past, Rong Yi was very focused when he was working, and he would never touch his phone when it wasn’t ringing.
But when she came back, she had to check her mobile phone during work breaks, checked her mobile phone when she approved a few documents, and even took out her mobile phone from time to time when she was in a meeting.
Like a teenager with severe cell phone addiction.
Linda really wanted to persuade her to close her eyes and sleep for a while when she was taking a break. Her eyes were turning red into rabbits, and resting on her phone would only make things worse.
However, the low air pressure around Rong Yi made her dare not speak, so she could only pack up the documents and walk to the office door.
“Crack.” Rong Yi looked at the messages on WeChat that he hadn’t responded to for three days, and put his phone on the desk.
“No.” She didn’t know whether to say to herself or to Linda, “I’m going to find Fan Xingze.”
Only then did she realize that she had never seen Fan Xingze in the company since the copy was released.
This is not normal. Usually, no matter how busy she is, every day in the office, she can see Fan Xingze walking past the floor-to-ceiling glass once or twice.
Linda raised her head and said, “Ah”, “Zoe asked for leave on the same day as you, but he hasn’t cancelled it yet.”
This “fake” was naturally not invited by Rong Yi herself. She guessed that the dungeon took too long this time, and the game should have made a lot of remedies in the real world to rationalize the player’s sudden disappearance. For example, the leave email was sent from her mailbox, not from her.
Rong Yi: “What kind of leave did he ask for?” WBD’s busy business has allowed him to leave for so long, except for marriage leave and maternity leave.
Linda looked up and thought for a while: “…Sick leave.”
The CTO asked for fifteen days of sick leave, and the company naturally visited him from top to bottom.
Just like the last time Fan Xingze fell ill, no matter whether his colleagues or bosses, he was stopped by his AI butler in the living room without discrimination, and he was sent out after a treat.
This is not the first time Rong Yi has come to Fan Xingze’s house. She has also come before to dig a foothold. But at that time, his home had not been modified like this – cyberpunk.
Fan Xingze’s home is located in a villa area on the outskirts of the city, a small building with a three-story duplex structure and a garden.
It is said that it was specially purchased by his family to facilitate his work in WBD. Just live with him.
“Welcome, rare visitor, please come in.”
Before Rong Yi could see where the announcement was at the door, he heard the mechanical sound that was trying to make him feel emotional, and then the black iron garden door opened with a “click”.
Carrying the condolences, she walked through the small garden that was only paved with turf. When she came to the door of the small building, the black security door opened at the right time.
“Please come in.” said the ubiquitous voice of the AI housekeeper.
“Please change your shoes.”
The shoe cabinet at the door opened automatically, and stretched out a pair of robotic arms carrying women’s slippers.
Rong Yi saw at a glance that the slippers were still brand new, without the labels on them.
The shoe stool stretched out from behind her and gently touched the bend of her knee. Her left arm was still hanging, and her right hand was carrying a large bag and a small bag.
“Need help?” The AI housekeeper may have seen her inconvenience through the hidden camera, and the manipulator holding the slippers took the initiative to unzip the small leather boots on her feet.
“Ah no, I can do it myself. Thank you.”
Rong Yi was flattered, and hurriedly put down his belongings and changed his shoes.
Fan Xingze’s AI butler must have been too attentive, just like Haidilao, his enthusiasm was overwhelming.
“What to drink? Tea, coffee, juice, beer—ah, you’re injured and shouldn’t drink now.”
Rong Yi casually asked for a cup of hot tea, just when she didn’t know where to put the things she brought, a mechanical hand stretched out from behind the coat rack to take the coat she took off and the gifts she brought.
“Thank you, you’re so kind. You’ve already come here. Why do you bring so many things?”
Rong Yi: I have to say that Fan Xingze is indeed at the forefront of the industry in the field of artificial intelligence. Looking at this level of anthropomorphism, it was like seeing my aunt standing in front of me.
Rong Yi was led to the sofa in the living room by the guiding light on the ground. The leather sofa with hard lines is surprisingly soft and comfortable to sit on.
She looked up blankly into the air, not knowing where to talk to the AI housekeeper. “I’m just here to ask, does it really matter if Fan Xingze has been sick for so long?”
“Please don’t worry.” The mechanical platform drove smoothly with the steaming green tea: “The AI intelligent doctor has done a comprehensive examination for him. He can’t die.”
Rong Yi: …
She originally wanted to find Fan Xingze to see what happened to Ai Zhensheng. After all, he was an expert in this area.
But looking at the current situation, she wouldn’t be too bothered. Aren’t all the people who came to see him driven away by the AI butler? Then she is also a little more interesting, don’t wait for people to drive her–
“Where are you going?”
As soon as I stood up, I heard the AI housekeeper say: “It’s a long way to go, don’t look at him before leaving?”
In the corner of the living room, the bedroom door, which had been closed for a long time, opened with a clatter.
Rong Yi: …? I have this honor?
