CH 21

Xiao Zhi was in a complicated mood because he became a new legend. He felt that the melon in his mouth was not so sweet.

There was a sudden noise not far away. Xiao Zhi followed the sound ‌‌and found that the AI ​​robot delivering the meal was being yelled at by a passenger.

“What are these? Your tickets are so expensive, even if the spacecraft is broke, there are only low-level nutritious meals!”

“If you guys are too greedy, you will die! You are too rotten!!”

The passenger is a man with muscles and scars. He is a fierce and aggressive type. He is angry and points to the AI ​​robot delivering the food to vent his dissatisfaction.

The AI ​​robot has a square head and a square brain, it doesn’t understand, and it’s dumb, staying in the original position.

Xiao Zhi ordered a dining car because it is in a microgravity environment, the meals on the spacecraft can’t be made into boxed lunches, and they will fly everywhere. The closed dining car is full of liquid nutritious meals, brown, yellow, and green tubes. It smells very badly.

The squishy appearance reminded Xiao Zhi of bad memories.

It was one day when he stayed up late to write. He was starving and wanted to go out for a walk. He went to a restaurant downstairs.

It was late, the restaurant was about to close, the chefs were already off work, and there was only one cleaning waiter. Originally, the waiter didn’t receive guests. The waiter saw Xiao Zhi was too hungry and had a face of staying up late, so he kindly cooked something for him, and he didn’t charge him anything.

No‌……Although the little brother doesn’t charge money, his cooking skills are terrible.

Xiao Zhi’s memory of how he finished the bowl of mushy unidentified objects has been a blur. But the smell of sobbing ghosts and spirits stimulated his inspiration and made him go back all night to create a series of dolls that made him famous.

Until now, Xiao Zhi will be scared when he sees mushy things.

The angry guests continue to scold the AI ​​robot, their body movements are getting more agitated, and they even have aggressive gestures. Most of the surrounding passengers did not respond. It seems that this kind of situation is very common.

The old man next to Xiao Zhi frowned: “The AI robot does not purchase the food prepared by the spacecraft. What’s the point of making noise?”

The man became angrier and angrier. He was about to seize the dining car from the AI ​​robot, but a slender hand reached to him and the AI ​​robot.

“Please give me lunch, chicken flavored.” Xiao Zhiping said to the AI ​​robot.

“Okay, here’s your lunch. I wish you a pleasant journey.” The AI ​​robot took out a tube of yellow paste from the dining car and handed it to Xiao Zhi.

“What do you mean?” The man’s anger turned to Xiao Zhi.

Xiao Zhi said faintly: “I think the food they prepare on the spacecraft is limited. I don’t want to go to Bolani hungry.”

There are also passengers around awakening. If someone destroys the nutritious meal, the stingy spacecraft may not necessarily prepare another lunch for them. Maybe there are other food reserves on the spaceship, but what additional service fees will be charged at that time will not be the same.

Xiao Zhi quietly made up the knife: “The normal taste seems to be running out. What is the taste of chocolate garlic? What is the taste of heaven chili sauce?”

The passengers were horrified. They didn’t expect the spacecraft to be a human being. Are these all the tastes of humans? ? ! !

They got up one after another and reached out to the AI ​​robot delivering the food:

“Give me an apple flavor!”

“Okay, here’s your lunch. I wish you a pleasant journey.”

“I want a beef!”

“Okay, here’s your lunch. I wish you a pleasant journey.”

……

The originally angry man couldn’t help but walk into the dining car. The usual taste was diminishing at an alarming rate, and he had no time to complain, so he quickly reached out and asked for a portion.

Within a short period of time, the nutritious meal was almost gone, leaving only some terrifying taste, waiting to entrap the next round of passengers.

·

Seeing that the trouble was relieved, Xiao Zhi returned to his seat.

He opened his nutritious meal. The best way to solve the problem is to face it. Xiao Zhi sank his heart to meet the paste, and he choked off a tube of nutritious food in a breath, but he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It tastes really irritable.

Xiao Zhi doubted life, but he heard a small voice: “Thank you, sir.”

Xiao Zhi turned his head and body. There were no passengers in the seats, only the AI ​​robot just standing on the road, and he should be the one talking. It can be seen that Xiao Zhi turned his head, but as if nothing had happened, he left with the dining car.

Xiao Zhi was a little surprised. He thought it was a robot-like his time, known as artificial intelligence, but artificially retarded, but he didn’t expect that the other party would secretly thank you.

The afro-headed man sitting next to him smiled when he saw this: “He likes you very much.”

Xiao Zhi returned to his seat: “How did you know?”

The uncle opened the nutritious meal and took a sip. His expression crunched up a little: “Um… After years of development, AI has long been close to humans. They are also emotional, but many people still use them as tools.”

He asked Xiao Zhi: “How about you ?”

Xiao Zhi suddenly thought of Assen as an NPC in the game, and he is also an AI. Trying to swap Assen with the AI ​​robot just now, Xiao Zhi felt a surge of anger. Even his fists were hard, and he wanted to hit someone.

Xiao Zhi: “‌I won’t!”

The uncle laughed upon hearing the words: “It’s quite straightforward.”

Xiao Zhi helplessly said: “I have a friend, he… is also AI…”

The uncle drank up his nutritious meal in one gulp and put the package in the trash grid: “I have too, not a lot of them, but one is ill-tempered, so what is the difference with him and the humans.”

The two exchanged ideas for a while, feeling that they were the same.

The uncle stretched out his hand to Xiao Zhi: “My name is Li Daye. I’m a researcher.”

Xiao Zhi shook hands with him: “My name is Xiao Zhi. I am…”

He suddenly got stuck. What is he? The unemployed person who doesn’t have a housing register? Or a player? After thinking about it, Xiao Zhi simply summed it up: “Craftsman.”

Whether playing games, fighting or making puppets, it’s all done with hands anyway.

Li Daye said: “I came here to find the old game console, but unfortunately I didn’t save a few of them. AS54 and nita607 can’t be turn on. I can only bring it back, hoping it can be fixed.”

Xiao Zhi is still an old player.

Li Daye was enthusiastic and found a somewhat familiar game console from the empty button: “It is the best in appearance, AS66, an antique-style from more than 300 years ago, and it can still be turned on now. .”

Xiao Zhi recognized that ‌ it was a popular game console series in his time. It was only in the 5th generation at that time, but it was the 66th generation now after 300 years ago.

Li Daye turned on the game console and showed off the game with Xiao Zhi like a child: “This kind of traditional game console requires fingers to operate, which is different from the brain wave sensor that is moving at all times. ‌ This kind of operation is harder and more interesting.”

“Unfortunately, all manufacturers have switched to brainwave manipulation games, and AS was also discontinued in the 70s.”

Xiao Zhi was also very interested. He came inside the game and went to the world after. He really hadn’t seen the handheld for so long. He didn’t expect that the things he was familiar with had now become antiques.

Li Daye’s operation…

Isn’t he too noobish?

There was only one “GAME OVER”, and the game went blank instantly. It was obviously a human-machine battle, but Li Daye was beaten into a crushing game. Of course, he was the crushed party, and he was about to be rubbed against like a piece of paper.

Li Daye sighed, “Oh, manual operation is still difficult.”

Xiao Zhi’s hands are a little itchy, although it is a new game, he also roughly understood the operation method for a while: “If you don’t mind, let me try it?”

Li Daye happily handed him: “Okay, you try. Let me tell you. You young people may not understand it. When playing an antique game, the most important thing is the flexibility of the fingers. Now many people have reached it. ‌In the era of keyboard games, e-sports players have to train their hands specifically—”

Li Daye suddenly forgot what he was going to say.

The young man sitting next to him had unbelievably nimble fingers, and all kinds of difficult operations were made. It was not a hurdle for him, and the young man played like he was just abusing vegetables. He also broke the record for the highest score and reaped a pile of trophies.

Xiao Zhi was satisfied. He retracted his hand and played a game without any problems. It was really cool.

He raised his head and met Li Daye’s eager eyes: “You, do you want to follow me?”

Xiao Zhi: “……”

Xiao Zhi: You want me to follow you just to play games?

It seems that Xiao Zhi’s disgust has been discovered, and Li Daye explained: “I am a professor at the Hailan Comprehensive Building, do you know it? The Hailan Galaxy is the first residence. I am from the History Department. The research direction is video games at the beginning of the 21st century. Our profession is especially short of talents, especially you who are talented!”

Xiao Zhi is a little dazed, is the scope of research now broad? Aren’t the games of the early 21st century the ones he played? Now it has become a historical research project?

It feels like ancient people thousands of years ago until the 21st-century people brought out their chamber pots for exhibition.

Li Daye thought that a young man would come to a remote planet to hang around. He might not be a bookish person. He may not know the gold content of the first mansion.

He threw a new bait: “Our profession is rare, the Star Federation is subsidized, and we also bring free housing. Of course, there are also shortcomings. Our only problem is that the profession is difficult to compare with other professions besides engaging in technology. Correspondingly, I can only continue to study in this major.”

It’s just that you can’t find a job, so it’s no wonder you give a subsidy.

“You don’t have to worry about graduation. Our professional practice scores a lot. As long as you perform well in the game in class, you will not fail to pass a course.”

A line of words flashed in Xiao Zhi’s mind: ‌Playing games in class!

He was a little moved.

He is not interested in the work of the Interstellar Age, and he can also solve the accommodation problem by following Li Daye in scientific research.

If he wants to make money, he can pick up his old business as a figure teacher. No matter what era, exquisite handicrafts are not ignored in the market, right?

Seeing Xiao Zhi swayed, Li Daye continued his efforts: “We have studied a lot of games. In addition to old antique games, there are still popular ZERO games. ‌ It is the only game that was developed in the early 21st century and has survived to the present. It has research value.”

Xiao Zhi’s eyes are getting brighter and brighter. Not only can you play games in class, but also subsidies and housing, and you can even play ZERO! And ‌Wait for the good things!

‌ What a dream major! !

He nodded to Li Daye: “I—”

“Bang——” A sudden gunshot sounded inside the spaceship, interrupting Xiao Zhi’s words about to blurt out.

Xiao Zhi and Li Daye subconsciously look in the direction where the sound came from.

3 unsurprisingly-looking men suddenly stood up from their seats, all of them holding guns in their hands. It’s not the tattered assembled gun that was in Didru’s hands before, but a very technological, powerful energy gun.

Just now, they fired a gun at an empty seat. The seat that was hit, ‌ has now turned into a ball of coke.

The surrounding passengers were horrified, and no one dared to speak out.

The two men pointed their guns at the passengers and signaled for them to be quiet, while the man who took the lead controlled the only flight attendant: “Take me to the captain.”

The flight attendant did not dare to refute, so she could only lead him into the cockpit.

[It’s Hongnake] A hand stretched out in front of Xiao Zhi. It was Li Daye, who was typing on the game console.

[They are a group of interstellar bandits, very greedy, there are no rich people on the ship, I am afraid they want our organs]

Xiao Zhi cast a puzzled light at him. Hasn’t widespread science knowledge said that humans could produce artificial organs long ago? How come there are still kinds of traditional crafts?

Li Daye seemed to understand his doubts and stretched out his hand to continue typing:

[Even though the technology of artificial organs is already very advanced, some people still think that natural is better than artificial, which is probably a quirk of some people. There will be a market as soon as there is demand, and there will naturally be desperadoes risking money for, especially targeting remote planets that lack supervision]

Xiao Zhi writes:

[For example, like them? 】

Li Daye nodded:

【They are willing to change course and take us to those unmanned stars. Then it will be troublesome.I have an emergency call system equipped by the school, but I don’t know when the remote party will be able to come to the rescue.]

Li Daye finished typing and turned to his side. The young man next to him was long gone.

Where is the person?

The author has something to say:

Xiao Zhi: No one can stop me from playing games in class! ! !
