Absolute Zone Zero: I survive in Liufen Street

Bai Yu firmly said goodbye to Susan who tried to send him home. After all, he couldn't really let Susan know that he really lived in a cave.

Susan, unable to resist, dropped him off near Liufen Street. Bai Yu then got out of the car carrying the clothes he had picked out.

On the second day of the journey, I received some new clothes, an old mobile phone and a charger.

I lost four days' worth of energy, but I'll be back tomorrow.

A worn-out jacket I hadn't worn for long was now tucked away in a trash can. Luckily, I had more than one piece of old clothing like this. After all, I couldn't wear new clothes and go through the trash can! (Fufu: Can't you just leave the trash can alone?!)

Physical holy sword, died in battle, a worthy death. (I forgot to take it when I escaped.)

There was also a necklace. (The one that was inside the bear's belly was brought out from the coat pocket.)

Before getting off the bus, Bai Yu quietly stuffed the necklace he had found that morning into Susan's backpack, hoping to make up for the sheriff's heavy wallet.

When he arrived at Liufen Street again, he didn't know whether it was because it was dark or because Bai Yu's mentality had changed. He felt that Liufen Street was more novel and different from the scenes in the game.

As he walked, he compared the game scenes in his mind. The coffee shop looked bigger and more impressive, worthy of being a coffee master's coffee shop.

Chef Qiaopu's noodle shop is also a bit bigger. Although it is still a street-facing shop with game-like seating outside, it has a small door so you can go inside and sit down.

After all, it's a shop that has been open for a long time. With so few seats, it's reasonable to know how to entertain customers.

Bai Yu nodded secretly.

Awooo Newsstand! Daily event favorite! Scratch-off tickets are a great way to test your luck. Even Bai Yu hasn't played many times, and hasn't seen the golden jackpot in the transmission.

The big black and white dog howled and tilted its head, looking innocently at the customer standing in front of the newsstand who didn't buy anything but just shook hands with it.

Finally, the most important thing on this street is the video of the brothers and sisters of the Destiny Child [Phaethon]......

Bai Yu stared blankly at the shop that had closed down and had a sign saying "For Rent or For Sale" hanging on it, but no one was around. He was speechless for a long time.

[Fufu, where's the video store? Where did my huge two-story video store with a garage go?!?!] Bai Yu appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was buzzing!

"! !?"

——System self-data detection——

——Testing completed——

………Xiaobai…I have some bad news for you. It seems our landing timeline has deviated…

Phaethon brothers and sisters...

...Haven't moved to Liufen Street yet QAQ.

sorry! !

Fu Fu is so useless!!

I am really the most failed system. Host, please take care of yourself. I will format and restart this useless system!

Wuuuuuu~ I have no face to live anymore!!

"Wuwuwuwuwa!!" Fufu looked at the test report and her whole system was in turmoil.

On the first day of landing, Fu Fu closely watched the fusion of Bai Yu's physical values ​​and consciousness, but did not investigate too much.

When I left Liufen Street, I didn't go in the direction of the video store, so I didn't know that the video store of the [Phaethon] brothers and sisters had not yet started business!

"Don't rush to restart yet. Enter the rope net and gather information about Phaethon." Bai Yu couldn't help but complain. He was so upset about the crashed little system he was commanding. He had to get back to work! If they didn't straighten out the current timeline, they might as well just restart their lives together.

"On the rope network, the legendary rope maker [Phaethon] is still active. There's nothing unusual. Do you want me to use his account to infiltrate their computer and take a look? Where is [Phaethon] now?"

"That's unnecessary. What's important isn't where Phaethon is, but when they'll move to Liufen Street and open the video store in the game." Bai Yu paced back and forth in front of the store anxiously.

[Based on the [game plot], it is reasonable to speculate that the video store operated here for quite a while before it began to enter the formal [game main storyline].

Even if the video store were to open tomorrow, we would still have at least half a year to go before it opens.

But before I got into trouble, the game had already officially launched! Is this a world line difference, or something else? Bai Yu bit his fingertips and pondered.

"——System update completed——"

——Starting recheck, please wait——』

[Hey! Fu Fu!? You really rebooted!?] Bai Yu pulled himself out of his thoughts blankly.

"The system is still there, don't worry. I just secretly copied some data from the world for comparison. I want to see what went wrong that caused the timeline we entered to be so much earlier." Countless data flowed through Fufu's body. The golden data body ran at high speed. "...After comparison, it's because of the ether.

The timeline where we originally landed saw a significant increase in etheric activity due to the unfolding of the [plot] or [destiny line].

For outsiders like us, the difficulty of entering the world and the energy consumption increase dramatically, so the system automatically shifted the landing timeline.

…I was busy protecting the host's consciousness and didn't notice this error.

Afterwards, the fusion value between the host's consciousness and body also deviated...so I suppressed this error message. 』

[I seem to have heard even worse news.

What does "body fusion value deviation" mean? Fufu, what are you hiding from me?] Bai Yu felt sick after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, what is even more outrageous than the deviation from the timeline is that there was a problem with his body from the beginning, and he himself knew nothing about it!

"I didn't mean to hide this from you, Xiaobai. I just realized why this happened.

After all, this is my first time constructing body data.

In the conversion of the world, the poor fusion of the consciousness and body values ​​is also within the reasonable speculation range of the system.

It's normal for illegal immigrants to be targeted and suppressed. This is how it was when I first arrived in Xiaobai's world.

But don't worry, Xiaobai, now that you realize the reality of this world and no longer reject doubt, your entire body's integration has greatly improved!

The good news is that the entire constructed body consumes less energy.

Xiaobai's survival time is now reduced to three and a half days! Are you happy, host? Fufu set off a small electronic firework to lighten the mood.

“I can’t be happy…

"Fufu, what else are you hiding from me? Tell me all at once." Bai Yu sighed weakly.

"...Fufu doesn't know~"

"I don't know..." Bai Yu squatted down with his face covered, not knowing what to say next.

"How can we know what the problem is before the bug appears?" Fu Fu said angrily, feeling unreasonable.

"You're right..." Bai Yu, who had no desire to speak, agreed with Fu Fu weakly.

"That white-haired boy over there!"

Bai Yu couldn't help but look up when he heard the keyword "white hair". Chef Qiao Pu, who was half-leaning out of the noodle shop, was looking at him and waving at him.

Bai Yu picked up the things in confusion and walked towards the noodle shop.

"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?" Bai Yu asked after sitting down outside.

"I saw you walking back and forth in front of the store next door, and you looked very unhappy.

What? Did you encounter any difficulties?

"Master Qiaopu, I'm an old resident here. If you need help or want to know something, you can ask me." Master Qiaopu, with a red face and mechanical arms, said to Bai Yu enthusiastically, his arms crossed.

“Thank you, Master Joop, I’d like to inquire about that shop.

Do you know how the previous store closed?

Also, has this store been rented out or sold recently?" Bai Yu was very grateful for Master Qiao Pu's enthusiasm and immediately began to inquire with him about the store's situation.

"Oh? Are you looking to rent a house?" Master Qiao Pu stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "It seems the previous store wasn't doing well, and the owner himself encountered a cavity disaster, which damaged a lot of supplies. He couldn't make ends meet, so he closed down.

As to whether it is currently being rented out or sold, it is not clear.

Although people come to see the house from time to time, no one has ever come to open the door or clean it. It must not be rented out yet, right?!

"Hey, are you interested in renting this store? I can help you contact the landlord."

"No need, Master Qiaopu, I'm just asking casually. Thank you for telling me this." Bai Yu waved his hand. He couldn't afford to open this store.

The place where the [lines of destiny] intersect should be left to the [child of destiny] to manage on their own!

"Hey, it's all just a small matter. You're very polite, little brother. Have you eaten yet? Would you like to try my cooking?

"I can make anything on the menu, even anything not on the menu. What would you like to eat?" Chef Qiao Pu smiled brightly and then said a line that Bai Yu was familiar with.

"Please give me a bowl of spicy ramen!" Bai Yu made the decision without hesitation.

"Xiaobai, you still want spicy food?!"

"Hey, are you sure you want this?" Chef Qiao Pu also confirmed with Bai Yu, who looked younger than him. "My spicy ramen is really so spicy that it makes many customers who are used to spicy food cry.

If you are just curious, I can make a small bowl for you to taste.

It would be bad if we couldn’t finish the food and wasted it.”

"It's okay, I can eat it! Please give me a bowl of spicy ramen." Bai Yu insisted on ordering, it wouldn't kill him anyway.

He needed some stimulation to clear his messy brain. Overwhelmed by all kinds of information, Bai Yu felt that he had no way to concentrate and think seriously.

"Okay! A bowl of spicy ramen, ready right away!" Since the customer insisted, Chef Qiao Pu naturally didn't say anything more. At most, he would prepare an extra glass of ice milk.

When the ramen that looked like flowing lava was placed in front of Bai Yu, even Bai Yu, who was mentally prepared, was shocked by the appearance.

The thick, deep red broth tightly envelops the pale yellow noodles, and the other ingredients are also stained a darker shade. It's steaming hot, and just the smell is exciting!

Bai Yu took a deep breath, picked up a mouthful of noodles and put it into his mouth. The explosive spiciness instantly burned his mouth, and his complex mind was cleared, entering a peaceful blank.

Bai Yu finished a full bowl of ramen under Chef Qiao Pu's worried gaze, tears streaming down his face. He then downed the complimentary iced milk in one gulp, sniffed, and cried out, "Delicious!!"

"You can't judge a book by its cover! If you like it, please come back next time. Chef Qiao Pu will make you more fragrant and spicier noodles." Chef Qiao Pu said with a laugh.

"Okay, I'll definitely come again! Thank you, Master Qiaopu." Bai Yu wiped his face, his already rosy eyes now even more watery, like a little rabbit. He put down the money, said goodbye to Master Qiaopu, and walked back to the cave where he had temporarily lived yesterday.

"Xiaobai, are you really okay?" Fufu asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I'm completely calm now. The timeline being advanced is an established fact, and there's no point in dwelling on it any longer." Bai Yu comforted Fu Fu in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"If you think about it, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. We have enough energy to survive right now, so we're not in a rush to show up in the game.

Although the time to capture the players' emotional energy has been delayed, at least we have more time to arrange the rationality of our appearances."

"What do you want to do, Xiaobai? Is there anything I can do?"

“We are still following the original plan.

Now that we have mobile phones, Fufu, register a Rope Network account immediately and keep a close eye on Phaethon's movements while accepting missions." Bai Yu calmly arranged his future plans one by one. "At first, the missions we can accept are just small matters like finding cats and dogs, or recovering lost items.

During this time, let me adapt to this digitized body.

Fu Fu, you said that this body has no fatal weaknesses now, and only large-scale damage will affect my own consciousness.

If I fall from a height, will that be considered extensive bodily injury?"

"It depends on the height from which they fall, but Fu Fu can adjust Xiaobai's body values ​​at the moment of falling, making Xiaobai fall down lightly like a feather.

But Xiaobai asked this, is he going to do something dangerous?!

No way~ Fufu won't allow Xiaobai to do anything that would hurt him!!' Fufu clearly stated her bottom line as a system.

"It won't be dangerous, Fufu will be watching me, right?

Sooner or later we have to learn to fight, this is just the appetizer.

Since Fufu can guarantee that I won't be seriously injured from the fall, my plan will only be safer. Bai Yu didn't directly respond to Fufu's strong protest. He simply laid out the reality they would inevitably face in the future and explained it to Fufu.

“Someone once taught me that if you want to fight, you must first learn to be beaten.

If you want to fight, the first thing you have to learn is how to escape.

Only by overcoming your body's instinctive fear will you have a chance to fight back.

The first thing I need to learn is how to overcome the protective mechanisms etched into the genes of organic life forms." Bai Yu took a deep breath and stepped into the cave.

In the dim cavity, messy and damaged buildings, steel supports, wildly growing ether crystals and containers can be seen everywhere.

“I have to start with parkour to overcome my fear of heights and injuries.

In a cave, the most necessary skills for survival are to adapt to various environments and find the best escape route at any time.

With Fu Fu helping me, there's no chance of getting lost. All I need to do is run fast enough! Learn more climbing, running, and jumping techniques to deal with Yi Hai.

This is the best option when there is no direct combat capability.

As for adjusting my physical stats later, I will incorporate combat training into my study plan."

"Fufu understands! Fufu will collect the skills and knowledge that Xiaobai needs from the Internet and do her best to help Xiaobai improve himself!"

……but."

"What's wrong? Does Fu Fu still have any difficult problems to solve?" Bai Yu asked in confusion.

"First, Xiaobai, you have to get out of the cave." Fu Fu said hesitantly, "There's no internet in the cave."

“…………”

Bai Yu hadn't anticipated his training plan, which had collapsed before it even began due to a network outage. "Now that things have come to this, let's go home and get some sleep."

"Okay, route navigation has been activated." Fu Fu obediently turned on the automatic navigation without saying a word.

It's just another insignificant record added to the host's observation database.

hee hee~
