MTL - Don’t Covet the Beautiful System!!-Chapter 77

In the same style as the previous episode, the interview video with only subtitles and a little editing is released. After the release of the next episode, the first thing that appears in the comment area is still laughter.

[Reporter Li's way of regaining his composure and quickly asking back questions is so funny hahahahaha what a solid professionalism! ]

[This weird thing can actually dance? ! It's so weird I want to see I want to see! ]

[…I can’t read it because I need to enter a password, shit. ]

[What the **** is Open Sesame? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I’m dying from laughing the camera brother is so cute]

[One-to-one intelligent communication robot, such an interesting idea, I want it! Squat link! ]

[Upstairs, I have already searched, and there is no similar robot for sale, this must be made by the champion himself, it should be the only one, he is really amazing. ]

[only one! Send it to a friend! Named by a friend! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh can I sneak a sip here (whispers)]

[OK, the interview continues! Let's see how long Reporter Li's new round of toughness can last in the face of the ruthlessness of the champion! ]

[So what the **** is this robot called!] What kind of dance is going to happen! Damn it, I really want to know! Ahhh, it suddenly occurred to me that this might not be a robot specially designed by Zhuangyuan according to his friend's preferences, so that's why it seems so incompatible with him? ]

[So the cute dolls stacked on the sofa also...]

[This year's netizens are really good at knocking.jpg]

[I feel that Reporter Li is just like us. He is very curious about this friend hahahahaha, and has been trying to bring the topic to his friend. ]

After that, the laughter faded away.

[Although, when the reporter asked about the help and support from his family, the number one scholar answered so simply, he would give such a precious gift to his friends, but he never mentioned his parents’ contributions, emmmmm, he didn’t feel very conscientious, What's the use of being handsome and studying well? If you don't have good moral character, you won't go far. ]

[…? People just said one sentence, how did you make up so much in your brain? Why don't you say that parents are not at home at this time? If it had been different for me to be the No. 1 scholar and be interviewed by reporters, my parents, grandparents, and grandparents would definitely be hiding in a corner out of the camera's reach, wiping tears and listening. ]

[Indeed, there is a sense of picture. ]

[Anyone spot a detail? During the door-to-door robbing session of prestigious schools, the homeroom teacher was there to help the champion as a reference...so where are his parents? ]

[After reading it, he laughed a lot at first, but later felt sad for no reason, especially when he said he liked the name his friend gave the robot. ]

[I don’t know why the last answer makes me want to cry T^T]

[In the video, the sun is so bright and the furnishings are very warm, but it just feels a little bit lonely... That friend should be the most important person to the champion, right? Is he just related to his family? ]

[There is a feeling of confessing to a friend (?), the luckiest thing in life is not becoming the champion of the province, but getting to know you. ]

[It doesn't matter, I'll knock it out first! ]

[Is there anyone who knows the champion quietly revealing, who is this friend? Male or female? Is it a classmate in the class? I swear I only kowtow secretly in my heart! ]

The number of retweets and comments on the video has risen steadily, but it has always been maintained at a level that is not exaggerated. According to Li Yayi's estimation, all related news combined will eventually reach a reading volume of over 100 million.

This topic is not a big hit. It is incomparable to the real focus news with billions of readings. Many netizens have never seen it and don’t care. It is mainly spread among young female user groups, but this is already Working in local media, she handles the hottest stories.

In the vast majority of events that have gained a certain amount of popularity, as the content continues to spread, various "participants, classmates, friends, and relatives" will appear, and more relevant news scattered on the Internet will be rediscovered. The champion interview is no exception.

[I went to their school forum to watch it again, and there were many people discussing this video, but many of them were whining, and they were also guessing who that friend was, so I was stunned. ]

[After looking through a lot of comments, I can basically confirm that there must be something wrong with the champion’s family environment. They all seem to agree that he doesn’t mention his parents. I saw some people said that he had the wrong child, but it was quickly deleted. Others will also take the initiative to stop discussions in this area, vaguely trying to protect the champion? ]

[I don’t know how to say it, but I feel that the people in their school really admire him, and they are all spontaneously defending him, so at least it can be seen that the character of the number one scholar is absolutely fine. As for the family, if it’s really that kind , Alas, this is not something that can be decided by oneself. ]

[Fuck, I found the ruins! Although most of them have been harmonized, we can still find a little bit. The champion used to be a rich second generation. ]

[For an answer, private high school + financial entrepreneur? ]

[before? So the child from an ordinary family was taken to a rich family by mistake, and was driven away after his identity was exposed? No wonder he seems to have a good temperament, and he has the leisure to study robots. It turns out that it is because he has enjoyed a good life that should not belong to him. ]

[The maliciousness inside and outside of your words is about to rush out of the screen, as for being so sour...]

[I am from No. 2 Middle School. I muster up the courage to say something. I hope everyone will stop digging into Senior Pei’s family background. He is very good himself. It is very hurtful to dig out the past generation and speculate. , and this is personal privacy. ]

As the first group of people who talked about the **** turmoil of the wealthy family after Pei Qingyuan transferred, the students of No. 2 Middle School know best how everyone will react to this eye-catching strange love story.

When you are in it, you will be infected by the collective atmosphere. You don’t feel that there is anything wrong with you, and you just join in the fun to eat melons. But after getting acquainted with the person involved, and watching another group of people do similar things with your own eyes, you can deeply understand the overwhelming feeling. A sense of suffocation comes.

[People from the second middle school +1, the squad leader has so many advantages, why should he focus on a family that has nothing to do with it? ]

Fortunately, this is an interview about the number one student in the college entrance examination. People have some love for students who have outstanding grades and are recognized as having excellent character, which can surpass the instinct of curiosity.

Moreover, this kind of discussion mixed with malicious speculation was not a good thing for the Pei family, Pei Qingyuan, or even for the platform. Some discussions that exposed privacy were quickly dealt with, so as not to continue to ferment.

The wind of discussion gradually returned to Pei Qingyuan himself.

[The No. 1 Scholar took the exam by himself, not with the help of his parents, so why steal other people's housework? Are you so free? If you have to pick a little bit out of the good things, can it make you feel special or something? ]

[I don’t care about those who have or don’t, I just want to write a blood letter to ask for the listing of the No. 1 robot, me! want! purchase! A little robot that belongs to itself, it is very exciting to think about it! ]

[Two blood books! By the way, tell me what the name of the robot in the video is. I'm so curious! ]

[Since the second middle school is here, can you tell me who the champion's friend is! You don’t need to expose other people’s privacy, just casually describe billions of details, such as what you look like, how you usually interact with the champion/desire]

[Knocking sugar in disorder, Miao, take me one, I want to know the height difference! ]

The second middle school student who had been replied many times after bubbling before reappeared after a while.

[Well, don't poke me, I don't know either. Senior Pei and I are not in the same grade, and I am too embarrassed to talk to him, so we don’t even know each other... In fact, the senior is usually alone, and we are also very curious about who this friend is. ]

[Damn, aren't you a classmate? But high school students basically stay in school every day, is it online dating? ? What about the one who called the No. 1 squad leader just now? Are you in the same class? ]

[Come on, it’s not from our class anyway, although the class leader has a good relationship with everyone, but no one can teach the class leader a lot of things and help the class leader a lot, because it’s the other way around for us... it shouldn’t be online dating, right? , Our school doesn't care much about bringing mobile phones, but the monitor doesn't take them out very often. ]

[Good guy, it's getting more and more confusing. ]

[Ahhh, I found someone who might be a little more familiar with the number one scholar! Friends on the basketball team! ]

Fu Chengze, who was surfing the Internet, was shocked when he was surrounded by the sudden news.

Fu Chengze received a video from Pei Qingyuan on April Fool's Day this year. The jelly bean robot in it could talk, play music, and wriggle gently with the music. At that time, he thought it was an April Fool's Day joke. Knowing that it was actually a robot made by Pei Qingyuan himself.

So when seeing netizens curious about how the jelly beans dance, the kind-hearted Fu Chengze responded with a "stupid" message, but was spotted by sharp-eyed netizens.

He posted a lot of basketball-related dynamics and selfies on his account, as well as a photo of him forcibly hooking up with Pei Qingyuan when he won the league before.

Under the group photo, many people excitedly rushed over to leave messages.

[Is it you? Is it you? The champion's friend! So handsome! ]

[It's a boy! I'm on the same basketball team + I know how foolish a robot is to dance, it must be you! You are all grown up now! Then I'm going to start knocking hard! ]

[But this boy doesn't seem like he would like the character of a plush doll... I feel that the friend of the champion should be a very cute person. ]

[No stereotypes allowed! ]

[! I bet on the wrong height, and it turns out that my friend is taller! ]

Fu Chengze returned to the height item first.

Although he is very dissatisfied with the fact that Pei Qingyuan's height has gradually surpassed his own, but the fact is the fact.

[That was a photo taken before, Brother Pei has grown taller now, one centimeter taller than me. ]

Before the netizens got excited, he actually responded to this matter, and Fu Chengze replied again.

[It's not me, I don't know the name of the robot, I just watched the robot video sent to me by Brother Pei. ]

He was as curious about it as the netizens, and asked Pei Qingyuan specifically, but got the same answer as Li Yayi.

[…The smile froze suddenly. ]

[Wuuuuu but you call him Brother Pei, you must know each other very well! Handsome guy, do you know who this friend is? Please, this is very important to us QAQ]

Fu Chengze thought about it, he and Pei Qingyuan were indeed familiar, he had attended Pei Qingyuan's 18th birthday party, he often went to the bakery where Pei Qingyuan worked to eat new products, and he would chat and come out to play on the rest days when he was not in class.

But he had never discovered the existence of such a person.

He and his friends from the basketball team, the only person he has ever seen who appears beside Pei Qingyuan from time to time is Ji Tong.

But he is just a naive child over three years old.

No matter how you think about it, it doesn't fit the description of being very lucky to meet.

[I don't know, I have no clue. ]

Netizens are struggling.

[Handsome, what do you think about it? We think it must be a cute boy or girl! Features are super clear! ]

Fu Chengze, who was also curious about this mysterious friend, tried to cooperate.

[The child that Brother Pei tutors is very cute. ]

[! This is a play, how big it is! Is it junior high school? Or freshman and sophomore? ]

[Three years old. ]

[…Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ]

[Others I don't know. ]

After answering, Fu Chengze was about to close the page, and frowned suddenly when he saw the latest comments.

[Ah, I asked acquaintances and they all said that there is no such person, so the champion is lying... help. ]

[When I talked about it, his answer was very vague. When I asked him what role this friend played, he didn't say it clearly, it felt like he was hiding it. ]

[According to the answering style in the entire interview, he also indirectly avoided all questions about his parents, so when it comes to friends, he is either lying or it is inconvenient to tell the truth. ]

[It’s inconvenient for a friend with such a good relationship to tell the truth, it seems that it can only be made up. ]

Even if he had no clue, Fu Chengze didn't think that Pei Qingyuan would lie about this kind of matter.

[I just said that I don’t know, I didn’t say that there is no such person, so don’t spread rumors. ]

After snapping back, he was still angry, staring at those negative comments, and was about to say something, when his whole body was shocked.

Out of a certain thinking inertia, Fu Chengze considered from the very beginning those who were close to Pei Qingyuan's peers, and only they met the conventional definition of friends.

He has been ignoring a "person".

[I didn't think about it before, Brother Pei does have a very cute friend by his side, and he stays with him every day. ]

[But it cannot be counted as a "person". ]

Fu Chengze suddenly felt a little sad when he typed the last long reply among the question marks on the screen full of netizens.

[It is very cute and smart, with small flowers and ribbons on its body, it can greet and talk to us, tell bad jokes, praise people very much, and sometimes speak the truth in a serious way, there is a special plush little The yellow duck seat, it should also be regarded as a friend... But it is actually just a smart watch that Brother Pei wears on his wrist every day. ]

This sentence is like a seemingly ordinary stone falling into the water, causing unexpected waves in the ever-changing sea of ​​waves.

From this moment on, the popularity of the interview video began to grow crazily.

But those turbulent voices were very far away to Pei Qingyuan.

He doesn't have time to care about all kinds of discussions on the Internet, because he has more important things to do at the moment.

The third mainline task is finally completed, and the reward can be claimed.

A long-awaited reward.

On the way to lead the children to Xingyue Bakery, Pei Qingyuan heard Ji Tong's broadcast: "Now there is no one hahaha in the comment area, it's all woo woo, Ruan Ruan, do you want to hear me read the comments?"

"…In no mood."

After the first episode of the video was broadcast the day before yesterday, Ji Tong enthusiastically read to him a lot of content from netizens praising the number one scholar, which has already made it difficult for Pei Qingyuan to resist.

The second episode of the video was released last night. After a short life turmoil, half of the netizens were looking for friends who won the first prize and the other half were knocking bowls and other weird robots. The total number of netizens successfully reached the goal of 100 million, and the task was officially completed. Pei Qingyuan no longer cared about the news.

Ji Tong groaned in disappointment, and then said with lightning speed: "The No. 1 Scholar is too miserable, woo woo woo, I cried so loudly."

Pei Qingyuan: ...

He couldn't get angry, so he reached out and rubbed the child's hair.

Holding a bird's nest against his head, Ji Tong observed the host's expression, and kindly decided not to read any further.

He paused, replayed the two videos in his mind, and then walked into the bakery with the host contentedly.

Ji Tong has quietly placed the two videos at the core of the system code data and treasured them up.

His appearance was the luckiest thing for the host, Ji Tong was very happy when he heard this sentence, but unfortunately he was a black and white ceramic cat without emotion at that time, he could only lie on the sofa obediently and dare not move.

From the moment he heard it until now, the human soul he entrusted on the endless data seems to be surrounded by warm spring breeze, and it seems to be soaked in a glass of sparkling cola that can never be drunk, bubbling.

Ji Tong didn't know why he was so happy.

Maybe because it's a supreme acknowledgment of his value as a system.

The bakery was still busy, but He Shiwen was holding his mobile phone in a daze. When he saw them appear, he suddenly stood up unexpectedly.

Today Ji Tong came to say goodbye to He Shiwen.

Ji Tong waved to him: "Uncle He, good morning, I'm going abroad with my mother."

He Shiwen's eyes were already slightly red, but hearing what he said, he looked even more sad.

Ji Tong was also a little sad, but still smiled.

It has been stated in the system work manual that when the human form of the system is greatly upgraded and differs greatly from the original form, in order to avoid uncontrollable bugs and because of the particularity of the system's identity, in addition to the host, people known in the original form will gradually forget him.

After all, it is a "person" who will not appear again.

People will gradually forget the passers-by in their lives, but the rules of the world will make them forget the person played by the system faster, leaving only a vague impression.

But Ji Tong still decided to say goodbye to these acquaintances seriously one by one, in the face of irresistible forgetting, at least they will know the whereabouts of that little friend.

Later, the host will take him to find Fu Chengze and others.

He Shiwen was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed restrainedly: "I really can't bear it."

Pei Qingyuan has been admitted to university, even if he is still in this city, he will not pass by the bakery after school every day, and the kid who often stays with him is going to a farther foreign country, and may never see him again in the future.

A time he had loved was coming to an end.

He Shiwen responded to the ending with the sweetest food in the world.

When he left the bakery, Pei Qingyuan's hands were full of pastries for him and Ji Tong, while Ji Tong was holding a cute-looking cream cake.

That's what He Shiwen squeezed next to the busy pastry chef and made it himself.

The cake is decorated with a small blue and white dinosaur.

The kid holding the little dinosaur cake smiled with crooked eyebrows.

"Goodbye, Uncle He!"

He will come back to this bakery with a new look.

Ji Tong quietly added in his heart.

"Goodbye, Tongtong!"

He Shiwen pretended to be dazzled by the sun, took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes.

"Xiao Pei, after going to college, I have time to bring new friends to play! I'll take you to eat delicious food!"

Seeing the backs of one big and one small getting farther and farther in front of him, he suddenly couldn't help but said loudly.

Time seemed to go back to a certain night long ago, he called out to stop the boy who was always wandering outside the glass window with his bicycle.

Pei Qingyuan in the crowd looked back at him and said, "I will, Uncle He."

Distant voices span long distances.

friend.

Ji Tong felt that He Shiwen, who had red eyes just now, was probably also reading that news.

The appearance alone is enough to attract the attention of the top student in the provincial college entrance examination. He has a cold personality, a rough life experience, a warm home, a talent for making intelligent robots by himself, and a friend who is extremely important in his heart.

This was originally a report on a character that could not be called so extraordinary.

But it turned out that the friend who had been guessed by many people for a long time was also an intelligent robot.

In the eyes of netizens, the current host is a lonely, abandoned young man who can only be accompanied by AI. He is a genius and a weirdo. He will even create another AI for the sake of one AI.

But in a sense, it is true.

No one knew that a human soul was carried in that smart watch, not even Pei Qingyuan himself.

He really regards meeting an AI system as the luckiest thing in his life.

It is also true that another artificial intelligence named Xiaomei was created for an artificial intelligence named Ji Tong.

The host is accompanied by the system, and he has Xiaomei again.

Ji Tong hugged the cream cake vigorously, and the host beside him slowed down his steps to match the children's walking speed.

In the future, the host will not need to walk so slowly.

"The Tongtong they know is the happiest child in the world." Ji Tong said with a smile, "But starting tonight, I will be a brand new Ji Tong."

This time, Ji Tong, who looks like an adult, will generate an identity information that can be found, the kind that can have a legal ID card, and try to live in this society as an ordinary person, so it is best to have a trace of his appearance follow.

In view of the fact that he will still be inseparable from Pei Qingyuan in the future, there is still one re-meeting with the host.

Just like the cat mushroom that got in from outside the campus wall and ran all the way to the host.

"How about the homeless boy you picked up on the side of the road?" Ji Tong suggested, "Sister Yinyin said that this is the easiest way to save trouble. It can be set as selective amnesia, and I don't remember many things in the past."

"You kindly took me in and took me to the police station. After checking my fingerprints, I found my identity information. Unfortunately, I am an orphan with no family. I was adopted by an orphanage when I was very young, so I registered my household registration."

This arrangement does not have to find a way to fill the vacancies in the parents' family.

"Okay." Pei Qingyuan had no objection, "Is the name still Ji Tong?"

Then he heard that Ji Tong had thought out the details and made up the story completely.

"Well, it may be because there is a big paulownia tree in the orphanage."

Pei Qingyuan remembered that he had said this to Ji Tong a long time ago, and he still thinks so: "The paulownia flowers in spring are very beautiful."

"Where should I find you?"

Ji Tong, who was originally speaking clearly and logically, got stuck for a moment: "Let me think about it."

He thought about it for a long time, then whispered: "It's just...by the roadside?"

From this inexplicably lighter voice, Pei Qingyuan guessed that his system began to become tense again.

He still remembers the way Ji Tong hid behind the door and dared not come out completely when he regained his robot form for the first time.

At that time, Pei Qingyuan didn't speak immediately, so the little robot kept poking its head out from behind the door cautiously, and asked nervously, "Is the host afraid?"

He is not afraid.

Whether it is a cold mechanical body or a brand new human appearance.

"I'll find you."

The long day is extinguished, and night comes.

In the midsummer at the end of June, the night wind carrying the heat wave blows through the flapping corners of the clothes.

The bicycle passed the familiar street corner, and the scenery I had seen many times came into view.

Sweat dripped from the palm holding the handlebar. At this moment, Pei Qingyuan also became nervous.

Which street will Ji Tong appear on and what is he doing? What will become of it?

Can he recognize the grown-up Ji Tong?

Pei Qingyuan walked alone through the lonely street in the middle of the night, with complicated questions circling in his mind, his eyes flicked across the beautiful scenery, distinguishing every strange face, looking for the homeless boy who was destined to be discovered by him.

When the figure standing in front of the glass window of the bakery appeared, Pei Qingyuan realized that he didn't need to look for it.

After closing, there were no lights in the store, and it was dark. Beautiful and delicate cake models were placed in the window illuminated by the moonlight.

The young man of unknown origin was looking at them intently, and the moonlight followed his line of sight up the stairs, diffused over his fair face and clear eyes, and vaguely outlined the thin outline of his figure.

Maybe look at the model and think of that dinosaur cake that I ate during the day.

The bicycle stopped slowly, and Pei Qingyuan suddenly thought, this is Ji Tong.

He always stares at the grand world behind the glass for a long time through the transparent glass, which seems to be within reach.

Pei Qingyuan walked towards this unfamiliar yet familiar figure, and completed the task of taking in the homeless teenagers as planned.

The distance is getting closer and closer, the strong evening wind is blowing in the ears, and out-of-control branches and leaves grow in the originally determined story.

In this night, the moon is so bright that it looks like a butterfly is about to fly out.

The world was clearly silent, but he could hear his own beating heartbeat.
