Gravel, Category: Unowned items in the natural environment, can be picked up and collected at will.
There is no dispute and exchange is allowed.
The system quickly transported the stone into the sea of consciousness. As it did so, it separated out data in preparation for a rainy day and reinforced the safety rope that Yu Tang was holding.
The system quietly looked at Yu Tang.
Yu Tang was very calm, and he didn't seem to have any intention of suddenly letting go of his hand and taking advantage of this opportunity to throw Wen Er down.
But Yu Tang obviously had no intention of helping Wen Er.
Yu Tang just lowered his head, letting the ooc value of his character teeter on the edge of violation, and watched Wen Er pulling at the rope, struggling to climb up with his life hanging by a thread.
The system looked at it for a while, then quietly used its own credit limit to buy a few hand warmers and stuck them inside Yu Tang's clothes.
…
It has collaborated with Yu Tang on four books, but still has not been able to fully understand its host.
Yu Tang, who is currently imitating Pu Ying, is actually not unfamiliar to the system.
The day the system completed its training, it entered the first book and was assigned to a partner employee to perform the task. In the projection of its sea of consciousness, the Yu Tang that it had seen was composed entirely of data streams, and that was what it looked like in front of it.
Sometimes the system feels that its host always fails the test of being able to get into the role in one second, and perhaps the problem is not entirely with the acting skills.
The system couldn't figure out what the problem was. It thought that maybe it was because its host only cared about work.
Yu Tang only has work in his mind and never has any spare time. During the internship, he was so obsessed with learning various skills in the entertainment industry that he even forgot that he had found time to marry the protagonist.
… But if that were the case, Yu Tang would just have to continue playing the role of Luo Ran and come up with the ending as soon as possible, so that Wen Er would suffer the consequences and go to jail.
There was no need for Yu Tang to take any risks by staying in the electron storm for an extended period of time just to collect the particles belonging to Luo Ran.
"What are you thinking about?"
Yu Tang tapped the system: "Please help me exchange for a motorcycle, or a bicycle is fine."
system:"… "
"Roller skates." Yu Tang conceded, "The wheels must have lights."
"… Host."
The system advised Yu Tang: "We just came back to read this book, and we don't have a lot of experience points yet."
Once you choose to exploit the loopholes in the original work, you will have to spend experience points in many places. In addition to the main storyline, if you also want to unlock more character lines, it will be a considerable expense.
The system was used to being frugal, so it showed him the balance and cautiously suggested: "We can exchange it for one dollar to take the bus..."
The mechanical sound suddenly froze, and the system looked at the account balance in astonishment: "Why do we have so much money?"
Yu Tang didn't have time to explain. He pulled the safety rope hard, allowing the exhausted Wen Er to escape completely and fall onto the rugged rocks.
The system looked behind Wen Er: "... Host, where is Wen Er's SUV?"
"Yes." said Yu Tang.
Just now, the reef where Wen Er was standing could not bear the weight and collapsed. The half-destroyed off-road vehicle also rolled up the rubble and fell completely into the cold and dark sea.
The incident happened suddenly and Wen Er had no time to react. If Yu Tang had not pulled him back immediately, he would have been swept away and killed.
The system accepted this development with difficulty: "... That shouldn't be the case. The car has been scrapped to the point of being completely new."
The system couldn't figure it out and was particularly worried: "Host, we are selling defective products as brand new. If we are found out, we will be fined and our account will be blocked."
“It’s sold for scrap.”
Yu Tang showed it the transaction record: "Fair trade, no deception."
The system flashed a small red light. I took it with half belief and half doubt, and looked at it carefully for a long time.
Yu Tang stood up and stretched his sore wrist.
Luo Ran's physical fitness is much better than his.
In the dangerous situation just now, Yu Tang stood by and watched with the risk of OOC, not only because he didn't want to save Wen Er from danger, but also because he used his own body data. If he took the risk to pull others, they might both fall down together.
The protagonist is protected by the world line, so he will be fine if he falls down. There are a lot of supporting roles and tools, and if a character is broken and cannot be repaired, it is not uncommon to replace him.
"System." Yu Tang said, "I want to buy a motorcycle."
The system was still thinking about the large sum of money that came out of the account. It was always worried that Yu Tang had sold the kind dolphin, and it was worried: "Host..."
Yu Tang assured: "Not sold."
The system heaved a sigh of relief: "That's good, host, what did you sell?"
Yu Tang looked at Wen Er's empty wrist.
Yu Tang: "I checked the brand of Wen Er's watch, and it's worth more than two million."
"I just took some time to look through my work notes." Yu Tang said, "On February 7th three years ago, he coaxed Luo Ran, saying that if Luo Ran was willing to go home with him, he would give him a watch."
Luo Ran often goes out in strong winds and heavy rains, and no matter how good a watch is, it can't withstand it. He doesn't know how much the watch is worth, and he doesn't care, so he doesn't ask for anything and happily goes home with Wen Er.
That day, Luo Ran did go to Wen Er's house for the first time.
Chuanshuju has been established for many years, and both its regulations and review mechanisms have always been outdated and rigid.
From the perspective of the exchange mall, Wen Er made a promise, which also generated an exchange contract.
The contract is reached, and as long as Luo Ran has done his part, the ownership of the items that the other party promised to exchange can be changed by default.
So when the off-road vehicle fell, a temporarily generated broken metal part stuck out and accidentally scratched Wen Er's left hand, and also cut the leather strap of the watch.
Yu Tang discovered a new way to get rich: "Is it possible to let Wen Er tell me that as long as I am willing to beat him up, everything he has can be mine..."
system:"… "
"Write this down." Yu Tang pulled out his notepad and wrote down his new idea. "Let's go buy a motorcycle. I've got my eyes on the one that costs over two million."
The system no longer questioned Yu Tang's speed in making money. It opened the shopping mall and the motorcycle selection page.
Yu Tang chose an all-terrain motorcycle.
Bright red like a flame, four-cylinder four-stroke, the same engine as the top sports cars, so cool and stylish that it has no equal.
In reality, Luo Ran waited for Wen Er to stand firmly, silently collected the safety rope, and walked towards the beach without saying a word.
Wen Er propped himself up and followed him unsteadily.
In order to force Wen Er's out-of-control SUV to stop, both of their cars were half-destroyed and could no longer be used as a means of transportation.
It was already dark, and the rain was getting heavier. The beach was far from the road, and there were almost no cars passing by. The light from the street lamps was also dimmed by the rain.
Yu Tang focused his attention and clicked on the light screen in his sea of consciousness, repeatedly checking the parameters several times: "Do you like it?"
The system was stunned: "What?"
Yu Tang didn't know who he was talking to. He clicked on the customization and chose the largest single-hung trunk, which directly reduced the number of riders from two to one. "It's up to you whether you like it or not... I don't understand either."
"Be patient," Yu Tang said, "We still have to deal with him for a while."
The system was at a loss for a long time, and finally turned around and looked at the reddish particle mist.
After Yu Tang took off the pendant and put it back into his sea of consciousness, the fog never moved again.
The system used every possible method it could find to try to communicate with it, but the fog just clung to the pendant, not moving or responding, and would slowly float back when it was dispersed.
"It has absolutely no consciousness fluctuations, host."
The system has been tested: "It should be invisible and inaudible to what we do."
Yu Tang said, “I know.”
The system is puzzled: "Then why..."
Yu Tang didn't answer. He clicked to confirm the transaction and used the remaining experience points to buy two special ability cards to improve physical fitness.
The service of the system mall has always been very considerate.
Luo Ran took Wen Er across the beach and onto the flat main road. The particularly eye-catching all-terrain motorcycle was parked under the awning on the side of the road.
Wen Er undoubtedly saw the motorcycle as well.
He stopped, a slight ripple passed through his pupils imperceptibly, and his heart calmed down again.
…Luo Ran is still Luo Ran after all.
It was just a childish temper. He was deliberately angry with him and acted coldly.
In fact, it wasn't the first time. When he lost control after drinking, Luo Ran almost got rid of his control. On the day he wanted to go home to find Luo's father and mother, he also bluffed like that.
After a few years, I've grown older and become more patient than before.
Even he was unable to react and was frightened.
Wen Er secretly laughed at himself, slowed down his tone, and said in a gentle voice: "Xiao Ran—"
Luo Ran asked: "You're not allowed to ride one?"
Wen Er's voice paused imperceptibly.
The icy coldness that made him uncomfortable reappeared like a ghost.
What he wanted to erase was the kind of calmness and indifference on Pu Ying's body now, which was like a black hole that only swallowed up heat, making people almost unable to help but feel disgusted, without any warmth.
…
Fortunately, the next moment, Luo Ran's shoulders collapsed.
Luo Ran lowered his head, his wet half-long hair covering his eyes, and muttered unhappily: "... I just want to ride one."
Wen Er was speechless.
Wen Er was in a very bad state after the struggle. His left side was pressed against the wreckage of the car, his clothes and arms were torn to pieces, and his watch was nowhere to be found.
Wen Er walked into the awning, took off his torn coat, tidied himself up a little, then took out a handkerchief and walked over to wipe Luo Ran's hair.
He wiped away the water dripping from the ends of Luo Ran's hair bit by bit, and the darkness that had just risen in his light gray pupils dissipated silently.
"How can I not let you?" Wen Er smiled, "The bike is destroyed. If you are not allowed to ride the motorcycle, should we walk back?"
Luo Ran frowned, looked at him doubtfully, and suddenly relaxed his tone: "... I can't take anyone in my car."
Wen Er nodded: "I can see that."
He didn't know when Luo Ran bought a motorcycle, but Luo Ran always liked these things and he had no shortage of money, so it was not surprising that he bought one or two.
"It's cold outside, go home first."
Wen Er touched Luo Ran's hair and said, "I'll call someone to pick me up. Be careful on the way and remember to drink ginger soup when you get home."
Luo Ran was coaxed by his patience, and his cold expression finally softened a little, and he took off the helmet hanging on the handlebars.
Wen'er was very gentle to him in everything that was not related to Pu Ying.
When facing outsiders, Wen Er is a genius scientist who is cold and sharp, and the youngest head of the scientific research institute directly under the alliance. But in private with Luo Ran, he will turn back into a gentle and patient brother and lover.
Wen Er is not pretending.
He does have the gentleness of a brother and a lover, but he is the brother who has been inseparable from Pu Ying since childhood.
And one day, he will become Pu Ying's lover.
Luo Ran lowered his head, avoiding Wen Er's gaze, and asked in a low voice: "Aren't you afraid that I will run away again?"
Wen Er smiled: "Where can you run to?"
Luo Ran was stumped by his question. He moved his throat twice but was unable to answer.
"It's my fault, don't be angry."
Wen Er apologized to him first: "I was too strict with you. You just wanted to go out for some fresh air and have some fun. You didn't want to run away, right?"
Luo Ran's little black hair was wiped half dry. He lowered his head and said nothing, his curly eyelashes drooping.
After a while, he glanced at Wen Er cautiously and nodded slowly.
Wen Er was completely relieved.
"You still feel bad about it."
Wen Er touched Luo Ran's hair and said, "You didn't even ask for leave and ran out alone, disrupting the entire scientific research arrangement. You feel guilty and uneasy, right?"
Luo Ran retorted in a low voice: "Before I left, the detection data was enough for three months."
"I know." Wen Er sighed softly, "It's enough, but it didn't disrupt my work schedule... It's a pity."
Luo Ran frowned: "What a pity?"
"When you were out relaxing, your parents came over. It was an exchange activity organized by their research institute."
Wen Er said: "The director over there called my name and said he wanted to see you detecting the electron storm with his own eyes..."
Luo Ran suddenly looked up.
He stared in astonishment, a little anxious, but tried his best to suppress it: "... Why didn't you contact me?"
He just ran away, but his phone was not turned off, so Wen Er could contact him at any time if she wanted to.
Wen Er looked at him tolerantly.
Luo Ran was looked at by him with such eyes, and gradually realized that he had asked too much. He blushed and lowered his head.
… It was clearly he who ran out first out of anger.
He was the one who ran away first, so how can he blame Wen Er for not contacting him
"My parents..."
Luo Ran whispered, "How will my parents react when they find out I'm not around?"
Wen Er did not answer, but patted Luo Ran on the back: "You are not living just for your parents, right? You should not care too much about them..."
Luo Ran gritted his teeth anxiously: "How will my parents react!"
Wen Er touched his hair, said nothing, and sighed softly.
Luo Ran stood in his eyes filled with pity and pity. He felt as if everything in him was falling apart and his mind was confused and messy.
How could Wen Er have such a reaction... Are his parents disappointed in him
Why did he have to run at this time when there were so many other times he could run? How could he miss such an important opportunity
Why did he run away? Why couldn't he just stay in the lab
Why don't you listen to Wen Er
Detecting electron storms is an S-level confidential scientific research activity. Even Luo Ran's parents only have a vague idea about this research and are not clear about Luo Ran's actual work content.
Luo Ran dreamed of letting Luo's father and mother see him.
Only this kind of official communication can allow Luo's father and mother to proudly and legitimately see their son being so handsome in the electronic storm in front of all his colleagues.
He didn't expect that he had made such a big mistake just by running out to get some fresh air. He was so anxious that he gritted his teeth and paced back and forth with his head down.
Wen Er did not explain, nor was he in a hurry to speak. He just patiently let Luo Ran slowly digest the news.
… He’s always been good at this.
He never forced Luo Ran to do anything. He just told Luo Ran some things and let Luo Ran react, digest them, and think about what to do on his own.
Among these things, some were processed appropriately by him, some were concealed by him, and some were integrated appropriately, but they are indeed true.
Just like this time, he did not tell Luo Ran that the on-site exchange was actually invited by the Chief Scientific Research Officer.
He did not tell Luo Ran that as long as he wanted, the chief scientific researcher could send exchange invitations to subordinate scientific researchers at any level and at any time.
He also didn't tell Luo Ran that after hearing that Luo Ran was gone, Luo's father and mother were not disappointed with their son at all.
Luo's father and mother were not disappointed at all. They were happy to introduce their son to their colleagues and left many gifts for Luo Ran, asking Wen Er to pass them on to Luo Ran. They carefully asked Wen Er when they could let Xiao Ran go home to see him.
…
He just sighed and said nothing.
Luo Ran made up the rest of the things in his own mind.
"I wanted to explain it to your parents, but I didn't have time."
Wen Er held Luo Ran's wrist and asked him to come over: "Do you want to call them?"
Luo Ran raised his head, moved his lips, but said nothing.
"Use my phone." Wen Er said, "Don't be nervous, I'm with you."
Luo Ran's fingers were cold. He slowly clenched them twice, raised his eyes, and met Wen Er's tolerant and encouraging gaze.
"Host."
In Yu Tang's mind, the system suddenly spoke: "This is the plot—"
Yu Tang glanced at the plot briefly, but didn't understand it in detail. He replied in his mind: "Read it to me."
The system flashed a small red light and quickly flipped out the script.
According to the original plot, tonight, Wen Er's SUV did not suddenly lose a wheel, so there was no car accident.
It was even more impossible that there would be any moment in Luo Ran's life that would make Wen Er have the illusion that he saw Pu Ying.
As always before, Luo Ran completed the detection of the electron storm brilliantly. He was very tired, and the burden of detecting the electron storm became heavier and heavier. He wanted to tell Wen Er that he was not feeling well, but he felt that Wen Er would not believe him.
—After all, even the instruments that tested his body couldn't find anything abnormal about him.
The doctor said that maybe he was thinking too much and subconsciously felt that he was sick.
Luo Ran couldn't explain it clearly. He did have a fever, his head was dizzy, and his whole body seemed to be falling apart. He thought he might just have caught a cold and would be fine after a good night's sleep.
At this time, Wen Er asked him to call his parents to report that he was safe.
"He had such a bad fever that he didn't notice anything wrong with the phone signal or who was on the other end of the line. He thought it was his mom or dad."
The system said: "On the other end of the phone, the two people told him not to be so willful and make his parents very distressed."
System: "Those two people said that it was Luo Ran who distracted them."
Yu Tang knew what was going on and nodded, "Got it."
All of Luo's father and mother's research topics involve certain risks.
Luo Ran had no idea what his father and mother were doing, but he knew from a young age that his father and mother had to wear heavy protective clothing every time they entered the laboratory, and once they entered the laboratory, they must not be distracted.
This is a highly dangerous experiment. If you are distracted, your life may be in danger.
Luo Ran never got into trouble when his father and mother were in the laboratory. Sometimes when his parents were in the laboratory and couldn't leave, he would make his own meals, sleep by himself, and go to school by himself. He would even rush to school early to do his homework, copy it neatly and hand it in.
In Luo Ran’s heart, no matter from childhood to adulthood, “distracting his parents because of him” is the most unforgivable fault.
…
Of course Wen Er knew this.
When Luo Ran was weak and drowsy, they used their own mobile phone to mislead Luo Ran, making him think that it was his parents who answered the call.
Let the person on the other end pretend to be Luo Ran’s parents say this to Luo Ran.
If he hadn't disrupted the plot, in the original plot line, Wen Er would have used this phone call to completely break down Luo Ran's last shaky psychological defense line.
"Send a text message to Luo Ran's parents for me."
Yu Tang said, "Just say I'm back from my trip and I miss home and them."
The system responded, somewhat hesitantly: "Aren't we going to make a phone call today?"
"According to Luo Ran's personality, he will definitely call his parents."
The system reminded Yu Tang: "If there is no convincing enough explanation, not only may the character be ooc, but Wen Er will also feel suspicious..."
"That makes sense." Yu Tang had his own ideas, "Don't worry."
system:"… "
The system is not very reliable.
The last time, Yu Tang said these three words to it with full confidence, and the explanation of the plot he gave was that the boat capsized, people sank, and a kind dolphin passed by.
The system was very worried that Yu Tang would create another killer whale.
Due to the unexpected impact of the electronic storm, an intelligent killer whale evolved legs, wandered all the way to the side of the road, and ate the mobile phone that Luo Ran was about to use to contact his parents.
Yu Tang did not understand the system's concerns. He had never driven a motorcycle that could deafen people, and it was already his limit to ensure that he did not overturn. If he did not finish reading "Hand in Hand Teaching You How to Drive a Motorcycle" as soon as possible, the probability of driving the motorcycle into the ditch would increase by 30%.
Yu Tang temporarily turned off the system speaker and quickly read the instruction manual that came with the motorcycle.
"… rest assured."
Wen Er's tone was very gentle. He handed the phone to Luo Ran, and his voice was so soft that it almost sounded like some kind of temptation: "Call them and explain clearly. They won't blame you..."
Luo Ran stood there in a daze for a long while. His eyes were a little scattered, as if he couldn't concentrate. He slowly raised his hand and held the phone.
"That's right."
Wen Er smiled and said, "Your parents still love you after all, don't they?"
Luo Ran suddenly shuddered.
He seemed to be reminded of something very important. His vision became clear again. He pushed Wen Er's phone away and turned away.
Wen Er's eyes were filled with astonishment.
He didn't expect Luo Ran to have such a reaction, and Luo Ran never exceeded his expectations.
"Luo Ran." Wen Er caught up with him, "Where are you going?"
"You're right." Luo Ran put on his helmet, "My parents love me."
Luo Ran ran over and almost flew onto the motorcycle.
The engine suddenly vibrated.
Wen Er raised his head, and in his sight, a beam of light so bright that it was dazzling suddenly penetrated the rain curtain.
"I won't call anymore." Luo Ran said, "I will just go home and apologize to them."
Wen Er: “…”
Wen Er's heart sank, and he took two steps after him: "Luo Ran! Wait a minute, you—"
Luo Ran turned the accelerator to the limit.
The huge all-terrain motorcycle roared and roared deafeningly, tearing through the dark night without looking back.
