002
After making a simple dinner and sitting for an hour to digest it, it was already getting dark, so Xu Yin put on his running shoes and went out.
Although it is summer now and should be the hottest time of the year, the city is still somewhat cool at night when the wind blows.
Xu Yin is a person who lacks motivation. He usually tries to avoid running before physical education class in college. During the long-distance running test at the end of the semester, he would try his best to avoid retaking the test, but his score would still be around the passing line. After running, he would lie in bed for the whole day.
For Xu Yin himself, taking the initiative to run at night was a fantasy.
So he felt that 018 was really a magical system that could bring him to where he is now.
In order to avoid being bored, Xu Yin kept the 018 chat window open, so bubbles of 018 would pop up in his field of vision from time to time.
018: "Come on, breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth!"
018: “It feels great to exercise, doesn’t it?”
018: "This is your life burning!"
Xu Yin: "I'm so tired."
018: "No! Don't say you're tired! We've only been running for five minutes!"
Perhaps realizing that his tone was Spartan again, 018 immediately restrained himself and said awkwardly, "Will you hold on for a while? The goal of my experiment is to confirm that when a person is strong enough, he can be resurrected. However, 'strong' does not only refer to the physical aspect, but more importantly, the mental and spiritual aspects. So persistence is really important!"
Because the host does not use his own body in the mission world, but only a "shell", so the strength of the spirit and soul is actually much more important than the physical strength.
But physical strength is the foundation after all, and in many cases, the body is closely related to the mind and soul. The tasks given by the main system are not only training the host's body, but also training the host's spirit.
Hearing this, Xu Yin looked up at the night sky.
Night has completely fallen, and the street lights are lit one by one. There are not many people and cars on this road, and the city seems a little quiet.
Becoming stronger
Xu Yin panted and said, "So chuunibyou."
018: "The fact that you can still complain proves that you still have strength."
Xu Yin: “Hey…”
Xu Yin couldn't run any longer after ten minutes, so he started walking. 018 was so disappointed that he tried his best to pop bubbles. At this moment, he suddenly paused and said, "Ah, the random task has appeared."
Xu Yin was stunned for a moment, then he opened the task panel and saw that there was indeed a message popping up in the random task column, which read: "Please continue walking forward for 20 meters."
Xu Yin was puzzled, but didn't think much about it and started running again. As he ran, a tree appeared in front of him, and a girl was standing under the tree.
The girl had her back to him and was looking up at the tree.
Xu Yin looked up and saw a little tabby cat standing on a branch. At the same time, the sentence in the random task bar on the control panel in his field of vision also became the main content of the task: "Please climb the tree and rescue the poor little cat. Score: 5 points."
Xu Yin: “…”
Climb a tree
018: "Go ahead, young man!!!"
Xu Yin replied subtly in her mind: "I have never climbed a tree."
018: "Life is full of firsts."
Xu Yin looked at the tree and fell silent.
The girl heard footsteps and panting, turned around and was stunned for a moment.
The young man behind him was about 1.8 meters tall and had a slender figure.
She must have been jogging all the way here. She was panting, with sweat all over her face and neck. She looked very hot, and her hair was sticking to her neck. But she didn't look embarrassed at all, but...
Damn, so handsome and sexy!
The girl swallowed subconsciously.
The young man had delicate eyebrows and a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, which even looked a bit enchanting because of the overly graceful curve of the corners of his eyes.
Her nose is straight and her lips are a little thin, but with a healthy redness.
Her skin is very white and her face is very small.
It’s so beautiful. It’s so beautiful!
This little brother can really make his debut right here!
The jawline, Adam's apple, and clavicle are all top-notch!
The girl's heart began to beat "thump" and her mind went blank for a moment. Then she saw the young man close his eyes, take a deep breath, open his eyes, and smile at her: "Is this kitten unable to come down?"
"Ah... yes, it should be!" The girl came back to her senses and said with a red face, "I saw it up there for a long time, and it didn't dare to come down, meowing."
As he spoke, the little tabby cat stretched out his soft and thin voice again: "Meow—"
It sounds very miserable. Maybe you extremely regret climbing the tree, or you may even be wondering why you can't come down when you can clearly climb up the tree.
Xu Yin accepted his fate, took another deep breath, and smiled at the girl, "Then please move back a little, I'll go up and try."
The girl was still obsessed with Xu Yin's face and couldn't extricate herself. She didn't react immediately after hearing the words: "Ah? Where to?"
Xu Yin said calmly: "Climb the tree."
After saying this, he walked under the tree.
After staring at the thick tree trunk for a few seconds, he opened his arms, and in front of the girl's dull gaze, he hugged the tree trunk and kicked his legs on the ground.
He jumped up and climbed onto the tree trunk with his hands!
The attraction of the ground was very strong, and the friction was not enough. Xu Yin gritted his teeth, quickly hugged the tree trunk, and moved up...
The girl was stunned, looking up at a handsome guy who was slowly moving upwards in such a weird posture... and he actually climbed up!
Xu Yin climbed to the top and couldn't hold on any longer, so he gasped even more heavily.
When the little pear flower cat saw him, tears seemed to well up in its eyes. It turned around and walked towards him, calling weakly: "Meow..."
Xu Yin made eye contact with the angry little fellow. He had a lot of complaints in his heart, but now he suppressed them all.
He sighed, stretched out his hand, and said softly and gently: "Be good, come here."
The little cat climbed onto his hand very carefully and clung to it with all four paws.
Xu Yin held the cat in one hand and leaned on the tree with the other, and the difficulty level rose to another level.
He heard the nerve in his brain beating.
In the field of vision, 018 refreshed the screen: "Hold on!! Hold on!! We will win if we go down, and we will get 5 points! You can have another beautiful day!!"
Xu Yin no longer wanted to talk.
He held his breath, relaxed his feet and hands slightly, and slid down at a relatively stable speed.
On the road nearby, the red light came on and cars lined up.
In the back seat of a black luxury car, a man in a white shirt and suit pants was looking down at the files on his mobile phone.
The man has a straight back, a tall stature, and calm and handsome features.
After reading the document, he raised his head and relaxed his neck. Inadvertently, his peripheral vision swept out of the car window and he stopped moving.
On the side of the road, on a big tree, a man was clinging to the trunk of the tree, which was about two meters above the ground, using his hands and feet.
Wen Congyan was silent for a second, turned around and looked at the back of the driver and assistant in front of him. After a second, he turned around again and looked out the window with a deep gaze.
That’s right, the person was still clinging there, but he was sliding down at a constant speed.
Wen Congyan lowered the car window and gazed at this magical scene.
The assistant in the front passenger seat noticed the noise, looked back, then followed Wen Congyan's gaze to look outside. He immediately adjusted his glasses and said, "What the hell, why is there someone climbing a tree on the side of the road so late at night?"
Xu Yin finally landed safely on the ground and put the kitten down.
The kitten was unable to stand at first, and its four legs were weak. It took Xu Yin several times to help it stand steadily.
It raised its little head and called "meow" softly to Xu Yin, circled around him, hooked his ankle with its tail to show its gratitude, then darted to the side and ran into the bushes.
The girl was still standing there with a dazed look on her face.
Xu Yin met her gaze, coughed lightly, and smiled: "Okay, the kitten is safe now."
The girl reacted, covered her mouth, blushed and said: "You are so good at climbing trees!"
Xu Yin… Xu Yin could only continue to smile: “Just try your best.”
He didn't intend to say more. He smiled and nodded at the girl, then planned to continue his running mission.
At this moment, the green light on the road nearby appeared and the traffic began to move forward.
Xu Yin sensed a strong gaze and turned his head to look.
Not far away, in the back seat of a black car, a man was staring at him.
So he just stared at Xu Yin as the car slowly, slowly took him away.
Xu Yin: “…”
Xu Yin took a deep breath.
He hates this kind of random tasks.
…
Xu Yin completed the running task and scored a total of 11 points, which was enough to survive until tomorrow. As for tomorrow's task, he would talk about it tomorrow.
He asked 018 to avoid him automatically, and he went to the bathroom to take a shower and came out. After being avoided, 018 continued to talk a lot and angrily asked how his skin could become so red after just taking a shower with hot water. He was too young and didn't look like a man at all. He should go get some cool air.
Xu Yin simply ignored this little system that had very serious gender stereotypes, sorted out tomorrow's arrangements, and went to bed at 11 o'clock in the evening.
— I had no idea. That night, a big fan of a female star posted a Weibo post: "Ahhhh, today on my way home from internship, I encountered a kitten stuck in a tree, and a super handsome boy climbed up the tree and rescued it! The boy was really super handsome, and he was so gentle when he brought the cat down. He even smiled at me several times, and his smile was so gentle!!!"
Because he is a big fan, the comments below are posted very quickly.
"Fuck, are there any photos I can lick?"
"I admire [lemon]"
"I've never seen such a day in my life. Ah Zai still has feelings for a little brother!"
Everyone in the circle knows that this big fan has always only pursued pretty girls and has no feelings for male stars or the opposite sex in real life.
Ah Zai replied to this comment: "Because that little brother is really! Too! Good! Looking! Ah!"
The information flow and plot line given by the world are quite illogical, but they are also logical.
Although the original owner was desperate to the point where he wanted to have a good talk with his agent, he was not just sitting at home waiting for a job to come along. Half a month ago, when he saw a former junior high school classmate looking for a job on WeChat Moments, he shamelessly went to knock on the door.
The two hadn't spoken to each other for many years and were actually not familiar with each other.
The original owner was also embarrassed, as he had only gone to the other party in a fit of rage. Fortunately, the other party was a very nice person, and he said right away that if things were really difficult, he could just lend the original owner some money.
Of course the original owner felt embarrassed, but he was free anyway, so he could go to the other party's restaurant to work.
What's more, he is an unknown person, so who can recognize him
So it's been almost a month.
Yesterday was my day off, so I went to the company to talk to my agent who I could never get through to on the phone.
Xu Yin was not averse to this kind of work. He got up the next day, did some push-ups, and rushed to the restaurant.
My friend's name is Gu Lin. He runs a barbecue restaurant. Because of its unique decoration - it is a Shan Hai Jing theme decoration - it has become an Internet celebrity restaurant in the city. There are many customers and long queues form at mealtime.
Xu Yin was responsible for delivering the dishes. She was busy going in and out between the lobby and the kitchen, attracting the attention of many customers as she moved around.
The chef whispered to Gu Lin, "Do you feel that Xu Yin is a little different today?"
Gu Lin took a look.
There is no doubt that Xu Yin is very beautiful, so when Gu Lin first learned that Xu Yin became an artist, he was not very surprised.
However, he actually couldn't quite remember what Xu Yin's personality was like before. After meeting him again after so many years, he didn't have any particularly deep feelings for this old classmate.
But you have to admit, Xu Yin was indeed a little different today, and his spirit was very different.
Her back was straight, and most of the time there was a slight smile on her lips, very faint, but very gentle. Hiss, I accidentally made eye contact with him...
Gu Lin met Xu Yin's gaze as she turned around.
Xu Yin smiled and nodded at him.
Gu Lin froze, coughed lightly, scratched his hair, and tried to emphasize in his heart, I am a straight man, I am a straight man, I am a straight man...
I couldn't help but look back.
Xu Yin had already turned and walked towards another table of customers, leaving Gu Lin with only a side profile of elegant lines.
Hey, what happened today
Gu Lin touched the back of his head.
Lunch ended around 2pm. Xu Yin went to the back to take a break and browsed Taobao. Gu Lin passed by and saw the drawing board he used to look at online. He asked, "You can draw too?"
Xu Yin smiled and responded: "Well, you know this too?"
Xu Yin herself is an art student, majoring in fashion design—although she had only been enrolled for two years when she was transported here due to a car accident.
He thought about it seriously and decided that if he didn't get involved in the entertainment industry, the only way he could think of to make a living was still painting.
He has only learned the basics of fashion design, but drawing itself is still feasible. He can first take some side hustle and bustle, and then take it one step at a time.
"That's right. After all, I've been in the ACG world for so many years," Gu Lin touched his chin and said, "Speaking of which, my sister is writing a novel, the kind of online novel, you know. It seems that she used to find an artist to do the cover for each novel, but recently she wants to find an artist to do the cover directly. Anyway, it's all paid. If you can do it, I'll send you her WeChat!"
Xu Yin was a little surprised. After thinking for a while, she said, "Okay. I don't have any examples yet. After I buy everything, I'll draw two for her reference."
Gu Lin gestured "OK": "No problem, no problem!"
Xu Yin didn't expect that the opportunity for this career would come so soon. She said to Gu Lin seriously, "Thank you."
The young man was sitting in a chair, looking up at him with a gentle tone and warm eyes.
Gu Lin thought that he was not a face-chaser. He was fine before, but today he felt his face getting hot for no apparent reason. He quickly said in a hoarse voice: "What's the big deal? We are brothers, ha!" Then he walked away quickly, trying hard to hold back his heart.
After a short break in the afternoon, dinner time soon began and the restaurant became busy again.
On the other side, Nan Ye and his agent finished discussing things in Wen Yan's office. Nan Ye calmly drank a sip of tea and glanced at Wen Yan.
He had heard early this morning that Xu Yin wanted to terminate the contract. He hadn't expected that the guy, who usually looked weak, would play hard to get to such a big extent.
Of course, the effect is very significant, as you can see from the absent-minded look of Wen Yan throughout the whole day.
Nan Ye had veins on his head, but he still kept a smile on his face.
Suddenly, he heard his agent cough lightly and said casually, "Hey, come to think of it, I heard Xu Yin had contact with Mr. Zhao from Yinmei Entertainment recently."
Nan Ye was stunned and turned to look at his agent, who winked at him.
Nan Ye quickly turned back to continue drinking tea, hesitantly allowing the agent to continue.
Wen Yan was still thinking about the phone call last night, thinking that Xu Yin must have been just talking. If he gave all his resources to her, Xu Yin would definitely not be willing to leave this circle.
After pondering for a while, he was stunned when he heard this, and looked up and asked, "Mr. Zhao from Yinmei Entertainment?"
Nan Ye's manager lowered his voice: "Yes, has Xu Yin made any moves recently?"
Yinmei Entertainment is their mortal enemy. It has better resources than them. Mr. Zhao had poached three artists from them before, but they were all outside the 18th-tier when they were with them. After working at Yinmei Entertainment for a year or two, they can make a sense of existence. Therefore, Wen Yan has always hated Mediterranean.
Nan Ye's agent thought that Xu Yin was trying to play hard to get, so he just added fuel to the fire and let him play.
Anyway, Prince Wen is stupid and has no brains. He believes whatever he hears. Even if Xu Yin cries and explains, Wen Yan's mind is more on Nan Ye, so the final result will definitely not be good.
After all, Nan Ye's approach is to be close yet distant, which makes Wen Yan unable to stop.
Xu Yin wanted to learn from Nan Ye now, but it was useless if he couldn't learn the essence. If he tried too hard, it would backfire.
When Wen Yan heard this, he was visibly angry.
Yinmei Entertainment, Mr. Zhao, the one with a big belly, a bald head, and who can almost reserve a room in the xx Hotel for a long time? !
Others may not know, but he knows that Mediterranean likes male celebrities and has slept with countless of them. Could it be that Xu Yin is also -
Wen Yan was so angry that he picked up his phone and called on the spot.
Nan Ye didn't expect that Wen Yan would be so angry that he made this call in front of them. He almost choked and quickly wiped his mouth, waiting for Wen Yan's reaction anxiously.
Xu Yin was busy when she saw the caller ID "0", so she just hung up the phone, turned around, took out two plates of meat, and handed them to the customer's table with a smile.
The two female customers looked at him shyly and blushed.
The call was hung up in seconds. Wen Yan couldn't believe it: "He hung up on me?!"
Nan Ye and his manager were also stunned. Ah, is this really that powerful?
Wen Yan continued to fight, while Nan Ye and his agent hesitantly continued to watch the prince's performance.
Xu Yin returned to the kitchen and saw Wen Yan calling again. She frowned and answered the phone, "What's the matter, Mr. Wen?"
Still with such a cold tone!!
Wen Yan angrily said: "Xu Yin, where are you now? Why didn't you answer my call?!"
Xu Yin is a person who is very gentle to people, even to fools, most of the time.
The premise is that you don’t really provoke him.
He said coldly: "I'm very busy. If Mr. Wen has nothing else to do, I'll hang up."
Wen Yan: “???”
Can this level of indifference be lowered another 100 degrees
Wen Yan was so angry that he stood up, which made Nan Ye and his agent's eyes light up.
Wen Yan slammed the table and yelled, "You are busy, what are you busy for! What are you busy for! You don't have a job at all now, aren't you lying when you say you are busy?! What on earth did you do to lie to me!"
After yelling, Wen Yan took two breaths, and then heard a shout from the other end of the phone: "Xu Yin, these two plates of meat are for table number three, please help me get them."
Then Xu Yin said, "Okay."
And then: "Beep, beep, beep—"
The call was hung up again.
Wen Yanding stood there.
Nan Ye and his agent held their breath, not wanting to miss a second to stare at Wen Yan's expression. They wanted to analyze the current situation. Why did Wen Yan suddenly go silent? Was he hung up on again? After being hung up on twice, Wen Yan should explode! Backlash, backlash, backlash!
However, Wen Yan stood there like a sculpture, and it took him a few seconds to react.
"Xu Yin, these two plates of meat are from table three, please help me get them."
"The meat is from table number three, please help me get it."
"The meat is from table three."
…
Wen Yan's pupils trembled. His Ah Yin, is he working in a restaurant?!
What he said about being very busy was true, because he was so busy that he ended up working as a waiter in a restaurant?!
And he not only misunderstood that his Ayin had hooked up with that wretched Mediterranean from Yinmei Entertainment, he even yelled at Ayin...
Wen Yan's Adam's apple rolled, and with a "pop", both hands pressed on the desk.
At that moment just now, how sad and disappointed Ayin must have felt!
Ah Yin had just expressed her anger and jealousy to him in a tactful way last night, but when he called her today for the first time, she not only didn't talk to him properly, but also yelled at him and misunderstood him...
At this moment, Ayin, facing the customers, must have a deep sense of fatigue in her smile...
Yes, how could such a well-behaved Ayin, such a heart devoted to him, hook up with that wretched Mediterranean? Even when he said he wanted to terminate the contract, it must have been against his will!
At this moment, Prince Wen's heart was broken.
In front of the desk, Nan Ye couldn't help but move closer.
What the hell is going on? Can you give me more feedback
Wen Yan came to his senses, called back in a daze, but was hung up immediately.
I called back and was hung up immediately.
Call back again—
"The number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later."
Call back again and again—
"The number you dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later."
Ah, it seems I have been blocked.
Wen Yan put down his phone and calmly said to the agent next to Nan Ye, "You are fired for hearing rumors and gossiping about them."
Nan Ye: “???”
His agent: “???”
What the hell
At the restaurant end.
After Xu Yin impatiently blocked Wen Yan, he took a step forward, thought for a moment, opened WeChat, QQ, and Weibo, and blocked Wen Yan completely. Only then did he relax his brows and calmly continue to deliver food.
