When Tangning placed the order, a gentle female voice sounded.
"Mr. Tang, eating fried chicken is not good for your high blood pressure and stomach. It is recommended that you eat light and easily digestible food in the morning." The smart butler reminded.
Yes, I almost forgot that I am not young.
Looking at the fried chicken, Tangning still placed the order. He said stubbornly in a trembling voice, "I'm just buying it to see and smell it."
"Mr. Tang."
Tang Ning picked out another simple bowl of porridge. After breakfast, he slowly got up from the bed and opened his wardrobe. He saw a series of clothes with dark colors and simple designs.
The clothes were as old-fashioned as his age.
Tangning sat back on the bed and slowly said to his smart butler, "I want to buy some new clothes."
He wanted to buy new clothes, not because he was vain. Most of the time, Tang Ning didn't care about his appearance because when he was young, he was a clothes hanger and would look good even if he wore a piece of linen.
But today, he had to see the prince no matter what.
He wanted to see the prince in his best form.
"Yes, Mr. Tang, what style of clothes would you like to choose?"
Tang Ning found that choosing clothes in the future world was very convenient because his own virtual projection would be projected in front of him. He could just move his fingers or speak to put the clothes he liked on his virtual projection. It felt like playing a dress-up game.
Well, a head dress-up game.
Tang Ning narrowed his eyes and stared at the projection of his virtual image. He had not looked in the mirror since he opened his eyes. This was the first time he saw himself now. His hair was full of silver. The hair was much thicker than he had imagined, and it was no less youthful than that of a person in his twenties or thirties. It was probably because he had not had a hard time in the past few years. At first glance, his face showed the expression of "pampered".
After choosing a few outfits, Tangning found that a suit looked best on him and made him look energetic.
He didn't want to choose black because he already had a black suit in his closet.
He bought a suit in a rich sky blue color, which looked like blue waves and full of vitality.
The takeaway arrived, and Tang Ning went to get it. While he was eating, he felt that his teeth were not very good. He didn't know which of his back teeth hurt when he bit them lightly. Even though he just moved his mouth to drink porridge, Tang Ning was already very satisfied. After all, he was 80 years old now, and most of his teeth were his own, instead of wearing dentures.
Maybe it's because I'm old and can't taste anything, or maybe it's just that this porridge has no taste at all and tastes very bland. I can only smell the fried chicken and imagine what it tastes like.
Alas, thinking about not being able to eat many delicious foods anymore, Tang Ning felt that much of the fun of living was gone.
While eating, Tang Ning picked up his phone and opened the group chat. When he opened the list, he saw an obituary from Jiang Mianmian's account.
Jiang Mianmian passed away at a ripe old age. It was a happy funeral. He lived to be eighty years old without any illness or pain. It is said that the funeral has been held. If you want to pay your respects, you can visit the cemetery when the time comes.
Tangning didn't know what to say, so he forwarded the message to the group chat and asked, "Should we take some time to visit Jiang Mianmian's grave?"
Everyone in the group observed a moment of silence.
Zhou Kang: "But I don't have much money on me right now, so I'll have to trouble you to help me with the travel expenses."
Zhou Kangyang's child owed a large sum of money, and the debt affected the father's financial situation. When he woke up, he found that the money he had prepared for a house and a coffin had been used by his son to fill the hole.
Now Zhou Kang's wife is sick and cannot work, and Zhou Kang's son is unemployed. The whole family depends on the pension of Zhou Kang and his wife. Their daily food expenses are fixed prices, and they have to calculate their three meals a day. They are basically vegetarian dishes, and Zhou only dares to eat meat once.
Lin Yun sighed in the group: "Life is really unpredictable. When this game started, I was the one with the most difficult financial situation. I was so poor that I couldn't even afford to eat. But because of this, I knew I couldn't save money in my early years. If I saved money, I would lose it due to various accidents. So I simply sponsored a group of children."
Tang Ning suddenly remembered that there was a period of time before when Lin Yunxiang did participate in some branch activities.
Lin Yun: "Maybe it's rewarded. Among the more than 100 children I sponsored, there are several successful ones. One of them took me to live next door to his family. This morning I received breakfast from his family. It smelled so good!"
Tangning: "Congratulations, it's finally over after all the hard work."
Si Tai: "Fuck! Comrades! I am shocked. I am still writing at the age of 80! Typing with voice to protect my eyes, what kind of spirit is this?!"
Tang Ning was surprised. He thought Si Tai, a habitual eunuch, would retire early once he made enough money. Unexpectedly, after having no worries about food and clothing, Si Tai insisted on writing because of his passion.
He opened the link to the product sent by Si Tai. The product was updated infrequently, perhaps once a week. However, considering Si Tai's age, Tang Ning could completely understand.
The subject matter that Si Tai is writing now is period literature, which tells the stories of their time. Young people are very interested in reading it. In the comment section, some people praise Si Tai for his realistic writing and good plot, while others scold Si Tai for updating too slowly, making too many typos, frequently confusing names of objects, forgetting foreshadowing while writing, etc.
Another one reads, "My grandfather was your loyal reader. He has passed away. Before he passed away, he told me to remember to burn the update for him after you write it."
Tang Ning had often seen this kind of comments under Si Tai's sloppy articles before, but now Tang Ning realized that the grandfather-like reader might have really passed away.
Tangning took a screenshot of the comment and showed it to Si Tai.
Si Tai said, "Oh, it sounds like he has something strange going on. If I had known earlier, I would have shown him the outline."
Tangning: "? I thought you were going to say you wanted to update a few more chapters."
Si Tai: "It's impossible for me to type more words. I'm the boss now! I need to rest!"
Tangning: "Where's Li Haoyuan? How are you now? Li Haoyuan..."
Li Haoyuan: "I'm busy now. I'm recording a show."
Recording a show
Tang Ning was puzzled. Was Li Haoyuan entering the entertainment industry in his later years
Li Haoyuan: "It's a dating show. I'm an actor in it. There's a dating script. I just act according to it."
Tangning: “???”
Si Tai: "What script? Let me hear it!"
Li Haoyuan: "My character is a dog lover. I haven't dated or married anyone for so many years because I'm afraid I won't have the energy to take care of my dogs after I get married."
Li Haoyuan: "When the lady I'm dating comes to my house, I have to show that I am attracted to my dog and pay attention to it. I look at the dog when I talk, and I feed the dog food when I cook. I am very dull when talking about other things, but I have to talk eloquently when talking about dogs."
Si Tai: "Yes, this script sounds quite worth discussing."
Tangning: "Yes, you know what, Li Haoyuan is quite suitable for this setting."
Li Haoyuan: "The program team chose me because I was a wolf son before, and I have been working in pet-related professions for many years. At first glance, this setting is very real to me, and it can withstand the in-depth digging of netizens nowadays."
After briefly explaining everyone's current situation, Tangning closed the group chat and wanted to find out about Xie Yunting's current situation.
He entered Xie Yunting's chat box and found that Xie Yunting's avatar was black.
Pure black.
Tang Ning was stunned, and had an inexplicable premonition in his heart. He quickly went to Xie Yunting's circle of friends and saw Xie Yunting's obituary.
Xie Yunting passed away.
He did not die on this day when he was 80 years old, but 35 years ago, when Xie Yunting was 45 years old, on the day of Grandpa Xie’s 100th birthday party, all five members of the Xie family died for unknown reasons.
Tangning felt empty inside. Even though he knew that the Xie family was just NPCs, they had only been together for a few days after all.
Wait, this time...
He felt inexplicably familiar, as if it was the day when Rapunzel disappeared
Tang Ning was afraid that he had remembered it wrong, so he checked with the system again, and the system did not deny it.
Tangning stared at the obituary with a look that gradually became serious.
What on earth is happening
Why did Little Lettuce suddenly disappear? Why did the five members of the Xie family die strangely? And the prince he hid in the dark and didn't come out to see, is all this related to the prince
Tang Ning frowned and decided to go to the Xie family to take a look.
Without much hesitation, Tangning rushed out. There were two identical cars parked in his garage. Tangning got into one of them and just as he was about to drive, he noticed something unusual inside the car. This was...
This is a hover car, the system explained.
Tangning: “!”
Tang Ning asked cautiously: Is it a flying car
System: Yes.
Tangning: “!!!” Damn, so cool!
It is cool, but this kind of car is like fried chicken and is not suitable for use in later years.
This is a floating vehicle specially prepared for young people. The system dispelled Tang Ning's worries: young people can go out by installing wings on their backs or stepping on wind and fire wheels.
Tangning: “…!” I want to go out like this too!
But how do you drive this car? Tangning asked.
The optical brain will assist you in driving.
With the help of the intelligent optical computer, Tang Ning watched excitedly as the car floated up, out of the garage, and into the sky.
The next second, accompanied by Tang Ning's exclamation, he rushed into the sky and saw creatures flying in the sky. Some had angel wings, some had devil wings. In addition to those classified by wings, there were also what the system called "Hot Wheels", or some had flying swords under their feet, some were sitting on flying brooms, and so on. Everyone was showing their magical powers.
Tang Ning pushed up the frame of her glasses and looked at everything outside the window with a dazzled look, like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
He even saw a floating castle in the sky, a house so beautiful that it looked like something from a fairy tale world.
System, will the future of the real world become like this
The system said: Maybe there will be more.
Yeah
Tangning took a deep breath and said seriously, "Life is real."
