Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 62 Lu Xiaobei's Dance Saint
It was around 11 p.m.

I took Lu Xiaobei back to our residence. The lights in the living room were off, and Lin Qingying seemed to have already gone back to her room.

"Ding Han".

Lu Xiaobei's voice trembled with tears as she cried, "I'm cold..."

"Go take a hot shower first."

I left her clothes by the bathroom door: "Go quickly, turn the water up a bit hot."

Lu Xiaobei went to take a shower.

I was a little confused; now there were two women in this house.

Soon after, Lu Xiaobei finished showering, changed into his pajamas, put on a down jacket over them, and asked, "Where am I going to sleep?"

"Sleep in my room."

I took a blanket out of the closet and said, "I'll just make do on the sofa in the living room tonight. Don't argue with me. Hurry up and go. The typhoon will be over tomorrow. I need to get up early to find a craftsman to repair your attic and deal with some trivial things like the internet cafe's light boxes."

"it is good……"

Lu Xiaobei was very obedient and went into the room to sleep on my bed.

I huddled on the sofa with my only blanket, a very thin one used for air conditioning.

……

I turned off the lights and gradually drifted off to sleep.

I don't know how much time passed, but then I heard a sound from the side, and then the living room lights came on.

Lin Qingying glanced at me indifferently, then at my room door, said nothing, and simply went to the bathroom to pee...

I continued to shiver, shaking on the sofa, almost resonating with the wind and rain outside.

I quickly drifted off to sleep again, this time feeling very warm.

The alarm clock rang in the early morning.

There was an extra blanket covering me, but it wasn't my own. There was only one possibility: Lin Qingying had put it on me.

By this time, the weather outside had cleared up, and the typhoon had passed.

I neatly folded the bedding and placed it on the sofa, then woke up Lu Xiaobei. After washing up, we went to the internet cafe.

Perhaps because it was too early, Lin Qingying did not come out.

……

The day was very busy. They found people to repair the internet cafe and Lu Xiaobei's residence, retrieved the plywood, and then had craftsmen build brick walls on the plywood and aluminum panels. The roof was also reinforced. Although the overall structure was still simple, its wind resistance had undergone a complete transformation.

It wasn't until evening that everything was finally finished. Lu Xiaobei treated me to a boxed lunch, and then I returned to my place.

The living room was pitch black.

The lights in Lin Qingying's room were on.

I didn't disturb them; I was just too tired, so I washed up and went to sleep.

next morning.

When I woke up, I found that Lin Qingying had already washed up, was wearing a nice work uniform and a name tag, picked up her car keys and bag, opened the door and left.

She ignored me completely, as if I didn't exist...

"Nima..."

That's when I realized that she simply didn't want to talk to me!
But I haven't done anything to offend her, have I?

Could it be because I brought Lu Xiaobei back to spend the night?
It is highly likely that Lin Qingying is a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder related to cleanliness, and also has psychological obsessive-compulsive disorder. Last time, Zhang Ruolin's joke made her have a bad impression of me, but this time it is different.

Do you want to explain?
It doesn't seem necessary...

I frowned. I needed to find a place to live quickly. Once I found one, I would move out. The feeling of living under someone else's roof was never pleasant.

……

As the new day begins, business at Feiyang Internet Cafe is booming once again.

In the afternoon, Lu Xiaobei was playing Audition Online on the second computer behind the bar. After dancing for a while, he started typing, his expression gradually turning ferocious, and he was only one step away from turning red.

I glanced at her sideways and saw that she was exchanging insults with a male player, and was finally brought down by his comment, "If you're so good, how come you still haven't reached the Dance Saint rank?"

"Ahhhhhh~~~"

Lu Xiaobei picked up the keyboard with both hands, ready to smash it.

"calm!"

I calmly stated, "This keyboard is worth 120 yuan!"

Lu Xiaobei calmed down a bit, put down the keyboard, and sat there angrily with his arms crossed. When the other party mentioned that he couldn't beat the Dance Saint, Lu Xiaobei was powerless to fight back and completely broke down.

"or……"

As your strategist, I immediately offered my advice: "How about I write you a cheat code that will guarantee you reaching Dance Saint in no time? Not to mention Dance Saint, even Star of Dance won't be a problem!"

"Don't..."

Lu Xiaobei was thrilled, but then became serious: "I heard the official crackdown on cheating has been quite severe lately. What if I get banned? This account is the culmination of my years of hard work, a testament to my youth!"

I gave her a disdainful look: "Don't you know the saying 'the bolder the man, the greater the reward'? But since you're looking for a safer option... I'll think of another way. There's always a solution." I refuse to believe that a mere Audition Online game could stump a level 10 advanced programmer like me!

To be honest, with my programming skills, I could easily find a managerial position at any software company in the world, but I don't like making that kind of money, and I don't want to go bald early.

Just then, a ding-dong sound rang in my ears, and the long-awaited daily task was finally triggered again!
[You have triggered the daily quest "Lu Xiaobei's Dance Saint" (Rank B)! Quest objective: Use various methods to help Lu Xiaobei's Audition Online account reach the Dance Saint rank. Quest rewards: A large amount of experience points, and a chance to obtain special rewards!]

……

Become!

I took a deep breath and said, "In short, leave this to me. You just wait to advance to the Dance Saint and become that one-in-a-million genius!"

"it is good!"

Lu Xiaobei smiled expectantly.

My thinking is simple: if internal cheats are easily detected and accounts are banned by the official authorities, then what about external cheats? The official authorities can't just get involved, right?

So, after getting off work at four o'clock, I immediately took a motorcycle taxi straight to the south of the city.

Inside an abandoned factory, countless pieces of waste are piled up like mountains.

The machinery scrap yard is a desolate, godforsaken place. It is said that almost all the factory waste in Xicheng is transported here, but no one is willing to pay for the disposal of the waste. As a result, the waste piles up here more and more, and the government is unwilling to spend money to deal with it. In the end, it has become a paradise for scavengers.

"stop!"

Two punk teenagers with earrings walked out of the junkyard gate. One of them had the words "Loyalty and Righteousness" tattooed on his arm. He laughed and said, "Brother, you know the rules of the junkyard, right?"

"know."

I nodded: "One hundred yuan can buy a basket of things to take with you."

"Yes."

He nodded and smiled: "The baskets are piled up over there, pay up."

I immediately pulled out a hundred-yuan bill and handed it over, then picked up the basket and went into the scrap yard.

In reality, the waste dump is unattended, but these thugs organize themselves to cordon it off and rip off the scavengers. The government knows about this, but they are too lazy to do anything about it.

……

Inside the scrap yard, a strong stench wafted through the air, a putrid smell filled with the odor of rusted steel.

I wandered through the junkyard and soon my eyes fell on a broken television set. After inspecting it, I took some parts and threw them directly into the interdimensional storage space instead of putting them in the basket.

The player's advantage is so great that they can take more materials than others even when scavenging in the junkyard.

We wandered around for a long time.

"Click..."

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from beneath my feet. I took out the Legion Blade and dug for more than a foot. I saw a rusty longsword that looked like an iron bar. But the hilt of the longsword attracted me. It had an energy-driven setting.

This is a powered sword!

Unfortunately, the power unit of this power sword had long been damaged and could no longer generate a force field. All the valuable components in the hilt had been removed, leaving only scrap metal.

Indeed, this junkyard has been visited by so many scavengers every day that it's as if it's been combed thousands of times. Where would there be anything good left for me?
After searching for a long time, all I found were some scrap metal and parts, which might not even be worth the 100 yuan ticket price.

Night falls.

As darkness fell and I was on the verge of despair, I suddenly saw an arm in the pile of rubble ahead!
Strictly speaking, it should be a power boom that has been abandoned for many years!
"Wow!"

He hurriedly picked up the power arm, only to find it covered in rust. Moreover, the power arm seemed to have been in battle, with the part above the wrist burned beyond recognition by a thermoelectric weapon, rendering it completely useless.

However, the five finger sleeves are relatively well preserved, and the traction strips inside the finger sleeves are still there, allowing the five fingers to bend perfectly!

Become!

My original idea was to use a powered finger sleeve, and then, with visual aiming technology, buy a camera to lock onto the desktop dance direction marker, connect it to the powered finger sleeve, and achieve perfect typing directly!

Now that we have the power finger sleeve and the camera isn't expensive, we can buy a few cheap chips and a used programmer to write the program, completing this B-level daily task will be no big problem at all!

Actually, I could have written a screen capture program, but that would have made it easy for the official system to detect. So for the sake of Lu Xiaobei's account security, it's better to use all external cheats!
He returned to his residence in a hurry.

Lin Qingying had not yet returned, so I quickly ate a meal, then found tools in my extradimensional storage space, disassembled the power finger sleeve, repaired the circuitry, and prepared for the subsequent installation.

This busy period lasted until around eight o'clock.

"Click~~~"

The living room door opened.

Lin Qingying, dressed in her work clothes, walked in looking beautiful. She originally intended to ignore my presence, but when she glanced at me, she saw the power finger sleeve that I had almost finished repairing and couldn't help but show a surprised look.

However, she didn't say anything and went straight back to her room.

……

I was completely absorbed in my work. After fixing the power finger sleeve, I went downstairs to an electronics parts store, bought a camera and a chip, and used their tools to write cheat programs for the camera and the power finger sleeve!
As a result, they were busy until after 1 a.m.

I turned off the living room light, went back to my room, and fell fast asleep.

next morning.

Arriving at the internet cafe early, after handing over to Zhao Yihang, he immediately took out the camera and power finger sleeve, and then shouted upstairs: "Lu Xiaobei, come down and challenge for the Dance Saint!"

In the internet cafe, a group of drowsy internet addicts all looked up, their eyes gleaming, eager to see what Lu Xiaobei looked like today.
