My portable gaming girlfriend

We returned to the villa in Shen Qing's self-driving car. On the way, she chatted with Ye Yin about the current situation, but she ignored me. Although she was a little upset, that's the kind of person she is, and I pretended to understand her when I was angry.

However, the purpose of her calling us is to play games with her?

The "Legend of Mountains and Seas: Alien Beasts" she mentioned is the new expansion pack of "Legends of Mountains and Seas". It just so happens that Ye Yin and I have both played this chapter. This is a multiplayer online game that focuses on fighting monsters and making equipment. Compared with other games that focus on RPG and have an auxiliary aiming system, this "Legend of Mountains and Seas" will be much more hard-core - in the game, the players The defense is very weak, and you may die if you are hit by a single hit. You need to rely on the weapons in your hand and flexible positioning to fight against ferocious monsters.

In summary, this is a game that tests the player's reflexes and skills, so it seems that she will find it is not incomprehensible.

Although Shen Qing will not admit it, this must be a very challenging game for this young lady... I am busy with part-time work and haven't been on the SKYLAND platform for the past two weeks, so I even forgot about the release of this masterpiece...

"It's not that I want to play by myself, but this time I also received a notice from a 'programmer' that someone on the forum reported a weird 'BUG' in the game, so I asked you to take a look together."

I still look arrogant, but the information in Shen Qing's words caught my attention. The "bugs" that we need to deal with will naturally not be small problems such as game card viewing angle penetration.

"BUG?"

"It seems that people have mentioned in the forum many times that there are NPCs missing."

But Shen Qing's next reply made me lose interest. For this kind of large-scale VR role-playing game, the disappearance of one or two NPCs is not very suspicious. After all, there are too many reasons that can cause this phenomenon...

"Isn't the NPC normal? Maybe it was killed by other players, or stuck in other places, so I suspect that it is the work of the 'awakened AI', and the 'programmer' should not be such a careless person... ..."

If we continue to investigate because of this kind of NPC disappearance every time, I think we will not be able to expand our manpower several times. Is this really an incident commissioned by the "programmer" to investigate, or...

"In short, this matter is very worthy of investigation! The 'awakened AI' is so dangerous, even if there is a little clue, we can't let it go."

In order to avoid the sudden deceleration of the manually driven vehicle, the vehicle we were riding in also slammed on the brakes, which almost made me ignore the bluntness in Shen Qing's words just now.

"Useless driver... Anyway, I will treat you to dinner, and then we will act."

After Shen Qing cursed softly, she still didn't look me in the eye.

"So in the end, is it really worth investigating..."

"...Dinner is all fresh ingredients that were airlifted in at noon today, let's eat freely."

Shen Qing continued to ignore my questions and was courteous for nothing, not to mention Shen Qing who hadn't seen me for half a month... This is definitely not her style. But—this is an irresistible temptation for me who works hard every day and dare not spend money, and can only make instant noodles at home!

"If you say that, I won't be too polite with you!"

Forget it, compared to those doubts, eating a big lady's dinner is obviously more tempting to me.

"Hey...you've been making a lot of love since just now, it's so noisy. I said 'we' right, but did I say that you were included?"

After thousands of calculations, Shen Qing actually played this trick with me... But I will not give up just yet, I am determined to eat this meal!

"No, of course members of an organization have to eat together! You can only work when you are full! And I will help."

"Ye Yin's game level is not inferior to yours. He is enough to help me open up wasteland. I don't know who has been doubting what I said from the beginning, and slapped me on the spot."

"I've changed my mind and I'll see you too! By the way... help you open up wasteland? Isn't it a quest?"

This guy really can't play a simple game...

"Tsk! That's not the case, you heard it wrong... Forget it, anyway, the amount of ingredients is enough, it doesn't matter if you have an extra mouth, and one starving to death in the villa next to me will ruin my reputation."

This guy... is talking nonsense with his eyes open. And the second half of the sentence is indeed Shen Qing's usual style, she can't even say it frankly when she invites guests, but has to use a tone of reluctance.

When we got home, Ye Yin and I took a shower separately. This villa is very big, with not only a personal shower room for each room, but also a public hot spring tub and shower room. It’s just that I’ve never used it. There aren’t many people who live here, the programmer doesn’t see her real body, the boss Su You often runs around outside, Ying and Feifei can’t use it, only me and Shen Qing...

Of course, although Shen Qing doesn't care about being seen in her underwear occasionally in the morning, she obviously cares about the safety of taking a bath. The eldest lady is very unambiguous. On the one hand, she said that if she dared to peep, she would poke my eyes. Don't use the hot spring tub at all. I used it a few times not long ago, and it was very comfortable... As for the intrusion of Ying and Feifei in the middle, it is another story. Fortunately, Shen Qing wasn't there at the time...

"Are you from the mountains? That's sports underwear, it's completely different from ordinary underwear!"

She was once despised for euphemistically persuading her not to wear underwear casually, so what is the difference between sports underwear and underwear... Isn't the fabric similar?

Forget it, if you think about it carefully, the same is true for swimsuits and underwear. The nudity of the content is similar, but the attitude of the girls is completely different.

Maybe it was because of the misunderstanding in the maid cafe before, this time she even opened the door of an empty room for Ye Yin and taught him to lock it, and then sternly warned me not to approach his room. It seems that even if the reason of the matter is clearly explained, the eldest lady's suspicion cannot be completely dispelled.

I swear to God I'm not interested in fake girls...

Ye Yin forgot to take the change of clothes stored in the store because he came out in a hurry, so I brought him a set of my own clothes to wear.

However, since I am more than 10cm taller than him, my clothes look too loose on him. After the first encounter in the toilet, I also rarely saw Ye Yin as a boy again——

His hair covered his eyebrows and ears, and he was slim and fair-skinned. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a girl with short hair.

The AR interface showed that a visitor requested to enter the courtyard. I opened the door, and a fresh food delivery truck stopped at the door. The door opened automatically, and the chef entered our kitchen together with a small delivery truck containing chilled food boxes...

The chef took out the air-conditioned fresh marine life from the delivery vehicle. The good storage conditions ensured that the ingredients were both safe and fresh.

I only saw the lobster struggling desperately because of foreseeing death, the wriggling octopus and some strange ingredients I didn't know were all placed in the container, and Ying and Feifei surrounded these fresh ingredients in amazement. Although it looks like dark cuisine, my food requirements have been reduced to as long as it is not instant noodles.

"By the way, do you want to invite the 'programmer' to eat with you?"

I stopped Shen Qing, she obviously didn't want to talk to me, but she stopped when I mentioned 'programmer'.

"No, I asked him and said that he is very busy and there is no need to call him for such trivial matters."

"oh……"

A month ago, I didn't know the 'programmer', I thought he was a dead house hacker who would only lock himself in the house, but I knew him when I talked to him directly in "Snow Eagle" and saw the majesty he revealed He is a very experienced elder.

If he says he doesn't want to come, then he will obviously be scolded if he disturbs him at this time. If there is no other way, let us enjoy his share.

Eating a big meal at home is indeed a rare experience. Fortunately, the dining room of the villa is very large, otherwise there is no way to put so many ingredients. And it's really delicious, I've never eaten such a delicious thing... I felt a little disgusted at first, but the taste can only be described as delicious.

Probably because I ate too fast, Shen Qing looked at me with disgust——

"You haven't eaten for a few days, and my dogs are more civilized than you."

"Suck up..."

I picked up a dessert.

"...Half a month ago, the cost of living disappeared. At that time, I ate instant noodles, fried noodles...ah, and the leftover sandwiches when the coffee shop closed."

The word 'contempt' was clearly written in her eyes.

"People who say that the cost of living is missing basically use it to recharge in the game."

"It's my fault this time, and A Yuan couldn't eat...I'm sorry!"

Sakura admitted the mistake ahead of me, and started the usual apology mode for the past two weeks.

Shen Qing was rather curious about the reason why I was penniless, since the chef had already left at this time, I briefly told her how Feifei and Ying spent all my living expenses.

"Oh? Is it because of the new outfit? I didn't expect you to be a person willing to spend money on girls. Sakura, the clothes are very beautiful."

She praised Sakura's new clothes and seemed a little surprised...and surprised that I didn't think about getting the money back.

"Thank you! I designed it myself! I didn't expect it, thanks to the collocation and guidance you helped me in that game!"

"So that's why you drove me out before?"

I thought of Shen Qing who kicked me out in "Bailu~Rain of Love~" "I"'s home and did matching with Sakura, and the two of them have been hiding it since then. It turns out that what Shen Qing and Ying suggested at that time was to design their own clothes?

"As a surprise for the dead house, this level is the most appropriate. It's a pity that Sakura followed you."

Thinking about Sakura's hostility towards Shen Qing at the beginning, and Shen Qing's corresponding indifference, now the relationship between the two has become more as natural as friends, so I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Hey hey...no, Ah Yuan is fine, but I'm sorry to have spent his money by mistake, but I don't want to help him with a part-time job, and Ah Yuan won't let me."

Changes in the relationship between people are subtle. Perhaps the change of attitude in the story needs to be an event that is an inflection point, which is unforgettable and extremely dramatic, but in reality, the feeling of becoming harmonious unconsciously is not bad.

"Sakura... just forget about that kind of part-time job. And Shi Yuanxing, why are you smirking, it's so disgusting..."

Privately told Shen Qing that she was a "part-time worker" back then, and Shen Qing also began to dissuade Ying from her behavior, and of course she didn't forget to mock me who was in a daze.

"I think Senior Shi just felt that the relationship in front of me should be cherished... Before I met everyone, no one would treat me like this..."

Ye Yin, who had been eating a big meal in silence, poked her head out. This kid is really sensible... It's a pity that he's a boy, and he got smaller and smaller in the end.

"Of course it's worth cherishing, Sakura will be fine, and this kind of life will continue forever, and you are welcome to join Ye Yin."

"Being kind to the girlfriend you like is a matter of course. It's much better than being poor and starving to find a 'girlfriend' for a meal, don't you think so? Shi Yuanxing..."

Shen Qing's indifferent gaze made me tremble all over... It seems that she has not forgotten the hatred that started only during the summer vacation.

"Speaking of it! This is the first time I've heard of such a bug. Did the programmer say anything?"

I'll change the subject right away.

"The programmer said that he was busy with important things and didn't have time to help me check this kind of problem."

"That's true."

"So what on earth is the programmer busy with, do you know about his origin?"

I wanted to find out about the background of some 'programmers' from Shen Qing, but she quickly denied it.

"I don't know. The programmer knew the boss before I knew about this organization. I'm afraid only the boss knows his origin."

I can't find much from Shen Qing, but I have some thoughts in my heart.

Although the 'programmer' denied it, I still suspect that he actually knew the two scientists with the surnames Sagnac and Rosenblatt.

A little searching on the Internet shows that these two are indeed very famous scientists.

Sagnac focuses on genetic science research, while Rosenblatt represents the frontiers of brain science, and the latter is one of the three current directors of the Supreme Scientific Council.

Many genetic diseases and incurable diseases have been conquered in the past few decades because of their research results. Either of these two men can be selected as the greatest scientist of 50 years.

Both of them indeed belonged to the "Human Development Branch" of the Supreme Science Council, but the experimental subjects seen in the dream were not so much for researching diseases, but more like studying how to evolve human beings themselves.

And the strange thing is that there seems to be no scholars in the Supreme Council of Science for the research of strong artificial intelligence. Instead, the research in this area was contracted by the Albert Laboratory of Endia Corporation. I tentatively asked the 'programmer' why this is, but he only responded with an unclear 'hehe'.

...No matter how you look at it, it looks like you have a grudge against the Supreme Science Council, but the origin of the 'programmer' is still a mystery, and it is superfluous to speculate.

Shen Qing was really not stingy when ordering this meal. Even though I haven't eaten meat for a month and I haven't had much contact with raw food, I ate it to the point where I didn't want to eat it anymore. The chair is like a happy fat house.

When I asked her how much the meal was worth, she responded with a figure…

"Oh, my God! Isn't that my living expenses for five months?"

"Eh? Your living expenses are so low... Forget it, I didn't specially invite you to eat this meal, so don't think too much about it!"

She made a classic gesture of crossing her arms and turning her head, but——

"...Your Tsundere focus is wrong! 5 months of living expenses! Why do you have this money..."

"Huh? Who is so arrogant? If you have any problems, you can pay me back the equivalent amount of the food you ate, and I will use it to do more meaningful things."

"Ahem... why are you looking for us this time?"

Shen Qing gave me a contemptuous look, but luckily she didn't want to continue bickering with me, so she changed the subject——

"Hmph... Our purpose this time is to enter the newly released game "Legend of Mountains and Seas: Alien Beasts" to find clues to the awakening AI. First of all, have you all played this game?"

"Played."

Ye Yin and I nodded together.

"How far have you played the original game "Legend of Mountains and Seas"?"

"Of course it's a full achievement."

"Me too……"

Ye Yin echoed in a low voice.

"...All achievements?"

Shen Qing seemed to be surprised, and I suddenly had an idea in my mind—"Legend of Mountains and Seas" is a combat-oriented game, which tests the player's skills. With Shen Qing's strength, it may be quite difficult to get all the achievements... because one of the achievements It is to defeat the final boss single-handedly.

"Shen Qing... With your performance, it must be because you don't know everything, right?"

"How is that possible! In the end, all the bosses were defeated."

"Oh? Did you hit him alone?"

"What exactly do you want to ask?"

Shen Qing's complexion is not good. Although I think there is a high probability that she does not have the strength to fight alone, but for the sake of treating us to a sumptuous dinner, I will back down a little this time.

"No, no, with your strength, you must be able to single out the boss. We absolutely have no doubts."

"..."

I really don't know why I praised her, but still looked at me with that murderous look.

"...Since you have played the game, it's easy to handle. After all, if you don't have experience and bring a novice outfit to play the new expansion pack, we will open up wasteland... Ahem, the efficiency of finding 'awakened AI' will be greatly slowed down. Generally, the enemies in the new version are not easy to deal with.”

With a blank face, Shen Qing revealed the real purpose of calling us to play the game, and then mentioned it in a blank expression. Sometimes this guy is unexpectedly thick-skinned.

"What are you talking about? Is it a 'task'?"

Sakura, who was sent to go shopping in the virtual world during dinner, suddenly appeared in our AR world. As a member of DEBUG, all three people present could see her, so she was actually speaking to three people.

"It's...it's okay."

I pretended not to know that Shen Qing just wanted to find someone to play games with her when she proposed the game.

"Please let me join in!"

Sakura, who heard the word mission, suddenly wanted to join in with a firm tone.

"this……"

This is a real embarrassment for us. I just said that 'it will be very inefficient to open up wasteland with a novice outfit without experience'. Now there is Sakura who is perfectly qualified and wants to join the mission.

"Can't you...?"

"But... this game is not for novices..."

"...Ah Yuan is going to abandon me?"

"No... there is no such thing..."

"The last time A Yuan didn't let me accompany him when he was playing "Snow Eagle", did he encounter danger?"

"Well, it's not a big danger..."

"It's a lie...'Programmer' said that if Ah Yuan hadn't woken up at that time, he probably wouldn't wake up again!"

Damn, why did the 'programmer' tell Sakura this kind of thing?

"In short, didn't I come back alive? I'm still a little confident in terms of strength."

"Not only that... A Yuan also had intimate contact with other women..."

Sakura came in front of me and looked at me with a frown. To be honest, this expression made my heart tense, and I quickly began to think of countermeasures.

"How...how is it possible for you? It's just that the system randomly matches my teammates. Apart from fighting side by side, nothing else..."

"How do you know" was not completely blurted out, seeing Sakura's eyes gradually becoming "gentle" and showing a "kind" smile, I woke up and almost said the wrong thing. If I let her know that I seem to have accidentally spied on someone's memory, even if it was a last resort, it will be enough for her to become jealous and black.

"...There is nothing left."

"Oh...? Is that so? Isn't it a stealing cat...?"

Light red eyes, staring straight at me, cold sweat streaming from my ears...

"No, absolutely not!"

"However, I'm always a little worried..."

"...He's just an ordinary nerd with no special features, how can anyone else post it upside down?"

Under my sincere eyes and Shen Qing's 'explanation' for me, Sakura finally let down her vigilance slowly...

Shen Qing suddenly explained that she barely saved my life - although it was not pleasant to me at all, my game level is still good, maybe there are a few hidden female fans among my friends.

By the way... It seems that I was pulled into the darkness in the game and had a conversation with Sakura. When I asked her afterwards, she also confirmed that it was not my unilateral hallucination, but something that really happened. As for how to talk directly to me in the game, she couldn't tell.

I concealed the strange scenes I saw after entering the 'door' from everyone except the 'programmer'. On the one hand, this kind of thing was too bizarre, and I told other members that they couldn't find the reason , on the other hand, I suspect that it is 'her' memory, if so, I want to protect the privacy of the owner of that memory...

"Since you know that no one has backed him, can you rest assured?"

"Well...Actually...I'm not entirely afraid of A Yuan being snatched away by the Sneaky Cat. I want to join the game this time because I'm a member of DEBUG and I want to be familiar with the mission process."

Sakura looked at Shen Qing in embarrassment, DEBUG did not stipulate that only the boss could direct us to find the 'awakened AI', and now that the boss is not around, she is the mission initiator.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to have such awareness..."

Shen Qing looked at the girl with pink hair and firm eyes.

"Since this is the case, I'll let you join, but you have to teach your girlfriend how to fight when you travel far away."

Is this what it means to agree with Sakura to join the game? But wanting to master the game itself is very time-consuming. If Sakura doesn’t join the game, we may not see each other for a long time. I don’t know if she will cause any trouble. It’s not a good idea to let her join the game. bad thing……

But if Sakura joins the game, what about another troublesome character?

"Feifei? Forget it, we don't have time to bring two newcomers to raise the difficulty for ourselves."

Shen Qing waved her hand and vetoed it, but I have no opinion or even very much agree with it, maybe we can open up wasteland if we bring Feifei, no, the speed of searching for 'awakened AI' will be slower.

What's more, Feifei has been obsessed with "Snow Eagle" recently, so there is no need to worry about her coming to pester us to join our game.

It takes 7 minutes for the game to load at a download rate of 20G per second. It can be seen that the game expansion and the main body of "Legend of Mountains and Seas" have a large capacity.

Of course, players will not wait for the game to start in vain. During the waiting period, there are some game scenes around me. Towering ancient trees and cliffs are all normal, but what is going on with this metal splint? Surrounded by dark clouds and sparks of lightning, is this still an action game with an ancient overhead background?

After loading the game soon, these screens are gone, replaced by a huge "Legend of Mountains and Seas" under the clear sky - different from the previous generation, under these four characters, there is an additional word "异兽" in a simple official script font Stitching together the broken frame of the mechanical style, it seems... the style of this expansion piece is different from this one.

"Do you want to start the game with your teammates?" I gave the system an affirmative answer, and then the game started...
