Chapter 2: Gone with the Wind.
His narrow eyes narrowed slightly, a kind of murderous intent tumbling out unabashedly.
Just, coldly, staring at her.
Xu You suddenly felt the wind in the corridor pick up, whistling and whistling into her clothes, causing her hair to stand on end.
Unprecedented dead silence.
Xu You knows that she is certain to die, after all, cannon fodder can't live for more than three episodes, and she has fulfilled her mission as cannon fodder.
But she was going to hang on for dear life.
Xu You's eyes drop and he notices that he's carrying a plastic bag in his left hand, containing a paper rectangular box with a cartoon drawing of an egg tart on the surface.
It was the original body went to dinner and came back with a box of egg tarts for snacks, Xu You took the opportunity to pull out the box and open it, presenting it with both hands, bending his head down like a little eunuch obeying orders, his tone was pleasing to the eye, "I'm sorry for disturbing you, I just wanted to come and ask if you'd like to have dessert?"
The opposite side of the person did not say, Xu You only hard to continue to talk nonsense, "I just moved to the next door of the tenants Xu You, in the future there is no less disturbing and presumptuous place, no other meaning, is that the egg tart is quite delicious, specially bought, you do not mind if you do not mind, taste it?"
To be honest, with that earnest tone and professional smile, she felt like a door-to-door salesperson herself, hello, bedding to try?
But force to prove that they have no hostility, will not rebel is absolutely right, now fleeing for their lives only like a thief, even if the heart of a batch of false, the face should not move.
But the opposite side still did not give some response, her hand a little sore, raised her eyes intending to see what was going on, who knew that one look directly froze.
The box she held in her hand was not the golden Sun-shaped tart she had imagined.
The box was mostly empty, and there were only two tarts inside not to mention that the edges of the tarts were all chewed up, crumbs everywhere, and they looked miserably ugly.
Only then did she pick up a bit of the previous snippet, the original loved egg tarts, and the crust around the edges was her favorite, the original had eaten four before and was bursting at the seams, so she nibbled on the crust before finishing the remaining two.
Xu You : "......" Reasonably, this is going to screw over the people behind it.
What was that going to mean, she didn't even dare look at the big man's expression.
Ringing someone's doorbell and giving them a box of dog-eaten tarts after making a scene is like playing a trick on someone, and can someone who can be a world-destroying villain not have a little bit of temper? Being fooled like this, if you don't step on her like a piece of meat, it will affect the big brother's ability to mix with the world, okay?
Instead, Xu You has calmed down, accepting the fact that he's about to be killed in battle.
She closed the box, withdrew her hand, and offered a professional fake smile, "I'm just kidding you, I'll go get you a new one-"
Before she could say anything, Min Duan turned around and went inside, closing the door behind him.
"Bang."
Xu You accepted an impossible truth in the cold wind - she had survived.
Not daring to stay longer, Xu You retreated to his own door at light speed, pulled out the key and opened the door, a set of actions in one go, fearing that Min Duan would turn around and carry a big knife out.
Diameter walked into the living room, she flung the contents of her hand into the trash can and collapsed onto the couch in a disembodied heap.
Sheesh, it almost resulted in a dog-eat-dog tart bloodbath.
Min Duan It's nice to look at, but the risk factor is too high, and she doesn't even know how many days she can survive, so how can she do this mission.
Xu You pondered over the plot and asked the system, "Min Duan's impulse to destroy the world comes from Qi You, as long as I take Qi You far away, he can't touch Qi You, won't be warmed by her, and then won't fall in love with her and do something crazy, won't that be the end of it?"
The system was stunned by her unorthodox thinking for a moment, and then mercilessly punctured her dreams, "This won't work."
"Why not."
"Remember what I said," the system said, "the villain that the protagonist demonizes into belongs to a powerful 'god' in the otherworld, and is always a hidden danger that threatens the world if not removed."
Xu You added, "Isn't your system also very powerful, wouldn't it be better to just get him killed."
System: "This is the world that belongs to him, we are outsiders, forcibly interfering will be rejected and won't work, that's why we sent you fast wearers in, to set you up with the real identities of these worlds, to get close to the villains when they can't detect it, to gain trust and then get rid of them."
Xu You can't even talk about it. Even if she can break an apple with her bare hands and split a durian with one hand, she still can't kill a single person.
The system looked at her paralyzed with a dead fish face and finally said with a bit of heartfelt sympathy, "Don't be so discouraged, fast wear trainees all have a one time newcomer reward."
Xu You raised an eyebrow and asked, "What reward?"
The system said, "Commonly known as the Golden Finger, what privileges do you want?"
Thinking of those golden fingers in novels that made people turn the world upside down, make a lot of money and become a winner, and finally go to the peak of life, Xu You became a bit more interested, "Anything?"
The system said with great confidence, "Of course, our system is very advanced."
Xu You nodded and pointed at the opposite wall in a serious manner, "I wished for the villain over there to just go up in smoke."
"......" The system becomes the first Tinder ever to have white eyes, "Only the kind that work for you."
Xu You ah'd and said grudgingly, "Then I'll take three more Gold Fingers."
"Favoritism," the system said nobly, "no."
Xu You: "Then I want the nine lives of the nine-tailed fox." Life is good, maybe we can survive until the deciding game.
System: "Don't even think about it."
Xu You tsked, and said relentlessly, "Then I want three thousand big dudes!"
System: "......" This is a fucking psycho, isn't it?
--
Xu You's new place is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom, one-kitchen, one-bathroom, one-hundred-meter-square-foot space, with all the basic furniture, but we haven't started cleaning and organizing it yet, and dust can be seen everywhere, full of big and small things that we just moved and bought.
It looks like it will take a long time to organize, Xu You simply remember to check the account balance, see the money enough, suddenly in a good mood, after a simple wash, then fell asleep.
The next morning, sunlight poured in through the glass windows, staining the wooden floor with a halo of light.
Xu You turned awake in a daze, his stomach pouch was like a dried up balloon, and he was starving before his eyes.
She sat up slowly and lifted the covers, dropping her eyes to see the young girl's pale, delicate legs looking especially good against the light blue sheets.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding," her mind suddenly rang three times as the system said, "The mission has been ordered, please receive."
Xu You snorted and said lazily, "Read it."
"Brush the villain's trust value to 60, award 1000 points, current trust value is 0."
Xu You responded, getting out of bed slowly, walking around the half-opened pink suitcase, across a push of clothes, and over the cluttered floor to the kitchen.
She opened the refrigerator, which contained only the milk and bread she had just bought, tore open a bag of bread and picked up a carton of milk, she crouched down and did not move, staring at the refrigerator in deep thought.
Xu You suddenly said, "I'll take the Gold Finger--"
The system immediately picked up, "Ten thousand refrigerators?" It sort of knew the host's brain circuits, and definitely couldn't use common sense to speculate.
"......" Can we still talk properly, Xu You said in a casual tone, "Cooking, then."
The system is a bit speechless, so casual, it see others hosts main force value, wealth value, beauty value, its home to be a cooking, a million grounded.
It's true that other people's homes are other people's homes.
But looking at the host's rather serious look, the system again felt that she must have chosen cooking for some kind of strategic consideration, and how does the saying go, if you want to capture a man's heart, you have to capture his stomach first.
She must be trying to gain Min Duan's trust with this. That must be it.
Absolutely no other possibility, the system thought firmly, but couldn't help but ask, "Why cooking?"
Xu You took two bites of bread, cheeks puffing out, "Easy to eat." The tone was taken for granted.
In her last life, she ate in the cafeteria when she was studying, and ate staff meal after she worked, she always wanted to eat whole food by herself, but she didn't have any cooking skills, and now that she had the chance to experience life, she certainly had to try something.
Xu You hastily ate two mouthfuls, then stood up and went to wash up, walked into the bathroom, and took a look in the mirror, she immediately felt that it was too worth it.
This face is really good-looking, palm-sized small face, red lips and nose, almond eyes large and bright, transparent like a glass ball, containing a fine and broken light.
It looks gentle and serene and classy.
She looked at it for a while and smiled down at herself in the mirror.
After washing up, Xu You started to clean up the house, from the bedroom to the living room, first wiping off the dust, then arranging things, and finally sweeping and mopping the floor.
After tossing and turning until the afternoon, she made a mental note of what she needed to buy, while out shopping with a bag of milk in her mouth.
This world is more modern, the buildings are taller but more regular, the greenery is better and more refined, every corner of the wall does not have the kind of garbage advertisements that are scribbled and plastered on the wall, and every hundred meters there is a suspended electronic display board on which the advertisements will scroll.
Xu You came to the nearest large supermarket, walked around inside, bought wallpaper, tablecloth and curtains, fruits and vegetables and snacks plus many other daily necessities, full of four big bags.
It's cool to buy, but tiring to take.
A small shared robot was parked in front of the supermarket to help people carry things, but the last one was driven away, Xu You waited for half a day and didn't wait for one back, so he had to carry it back himself.
When Xu You came back out of breath, he realized that Min Duan's building didn't even have an elevator. How can such a beautifully decorated building not even have an elevator?
Maybe since the big guy is footloose, something like an elevator is pretty unnecessary for him.
Xu You looks down at the things in his hands and sighs for a moment that life is really heavy, before resigning himself to his fate and starting to climb the stairs.
Moving at a turtle's pace all the way to the fourth floor, Xu You heard footsteps coming from the stairwell, a very deep sound, one after the other, from the bottom to the top.
The building could have housed dozens of families, but it stayed cold and silent like an empty building because the people who lived in it were turned into puppets or experiments.
At this moment, Xu You could not help but fix his eyes on the corner of the downstairs, and in no time walked up to a big, burly, fierce-looking inch-haired big brother.
He had no expression, his eyes were lifeless, and he straightened his steps upward one frame at a time.
Xu You shouted tentatively, "Hello big brother, may I ask if it's convenient to help carry something?"
As if he hadn't heard, the man disappeared around the corner upstairs without stopping his footsteps.
