Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

Li Xingyu had no idea what her two systems were doing in her mind every day. She woke up naturally and, with her hair all messy, rummaged through her personal computer to check the time.

07: 43.

"Hmm, it's still early."

Li Xingyu turned off the computer screen, lay back down, and after a while got out of bed to wash up.

"Ha~ Why does a bed even exist? The person who invented it was a genius. So who invented 'getting up' and 'good morning'? What's so good about 'good morning'?" Li Xingyu complained as she walked into the dressing room after washing up.

Due to the significant change in her height, a considerable number of Li Xingyu's clothes are no longer wearable. She currently only has about ten sets of clothes to wear, all of which are summer clothes and mostly newly made dresses.

She chose a pure white cardigan dress with subtle silver floral prints, and added a circle of white pearl embellishments at the seam between the chest and the hem. She paired it with two white, semi-transparent, irregularly shaped, wide-sleeved tops, creating an ethereal and fairy-like outfit.

Li Xingyu spotted it at a glance among the few clothes available. She just loved pretty clothes. Anyway, she wasn't doing anything today, probably going to Lost to get clothes made. It was time to fill her wardrobe again. Today was Miracle Xingyu's day.

She casually used two plain wooden hairpins to create a simple, loose, yet effortlessly chic hairstyle, adorned with a white camellia hairpin featuring two green leaves. Li Xingyu nodded in satisfaction.

After adjusting the light brain to a light green jade bracelet with a low saturation, Li Xingyu put on the necklaces and bracelets made from the storage space one by one. Fortunately, both of these designs were relatively simple and versatile, so they would not go wrong with any outfit and would not look out of place. Then she went downstairs.

As Li Xingyu went downstairs, she didn't forget to open her novel and continue reading from where she left off last night. She had successfully controlled herself last night, so she would reward herself by reading a little longer today.

Having multitasked with her thoughts, Li Xingyu slowly walked to the sofa on the first floor. There was someone already sitting on the sofa; it was almost eight o'clock, so they probably hadn't had breakfast yet, but it would be ready soon.

"Good morning~" Li Xingyu didn't want to call them one by one, so she just looked at everyone sitting on the sofa except for Yin Lian and the other two and greeted them.

This morning, Yinlian and the other two prepared breakfast. After dinner last night, they were quite relieved and simply let the three of them do it on their own. Their learning ability is truly remarkable.

"Good morning, Little Feather, this is your hovering ball. I turned it off for you after we finished watching TV last night." Li Manzhou and the others smiled and nodded at Li Xingyu. Xinghe also turned to look at Li Xingyu, smiling at her gently and casually.

"Okay, thank you Xinghe." Li Xingyu didn't close the novel interface, but walked to the empty seat on the sofa, aiming for the middle between Xinghe and Li Yue, just in time to catch the floating ball.

"Little Feather, is this a novel? What kind of genre is it? I don't think I've seen it before. Did you write something new?" Li Xingyu had just sat down on the sofa, taken the floating ball from Xinghe, and was starting a live stream when Qin Fengshi's voice rang in her ear.

Qin Fengshi's greatest interest is reading, all kinds of books: popular science, military, history, and some other categories. He enjoys reading them all. He has recently finished reading all the newly restored books and is currently experiencing a reading slump.

Just as Li Xingyu walked past him, Qin Fengshi was immediately drawn to the novel interface on Li Xingyu's personal computer. After all, he knew that Li Xingyu liked to read and write, and the novel content displayed on that interface was already captivating even with just a quick glance.

Who can understand the excitement of someone experiencing a reading slump who accidentally glances at a page of a book that interests them? Qin Fengshi immediately launched into a barrage of questions.

"Ah~ this, this is a series of novels based on historical reconstruction, called 'The Grave Robbers' Chronicles,' um... it's a book about... archaeology, the writing and the content are particularly good, and there are many... special... creatures?" Li Xingyu introduced the book she was reading with great thought, trying to be as tactful as possible.

"Oh, that sounds great. I'd like to see it too. Can we trade? I'll trade you the latest collection of ancient poems and songs restored by Blue Star." Qin Fengshi's interest was piqued as he listened to Li Xingyu's introduction. The elements of "archaeology" and "unique creatures" immediately captured Qin Fengshi's attention.

Besides reading books, Qin Fengshi also loves animals. He knows a lot about them, whether they are spirit-infused or spirit-transformed. He doesn't want to keep them, he just wants to observe them or take pictures.

"Huh? It's...okay?" Li Xingyu looked at the book, which was more than ten centimeters thick, in Qin Fengshi's hand, somewhat reluctantly.

It wasn't that she didn't want to show Qin Fengshi "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles," but rather that Li Xingyu didn't want such a thick collection of ancient poems; she had already memorized enough of them during elementary, middle, and high school.

Because Li Xingyu had seen Qin Feng reading "On the Faults of Qin" before, she knew that it was mostly classical Chinese texts, Tang poems, Song lyrics, Yuan dramas, and the like, and she didn't want to see those things anymore.

"Okay, Little Feather, these are all very impressive and interesting articles. They also have translation annotations below. Although I think there are some inaccuracies, the Blue Star Literature Department has done its best. Ancient Blue Star articles used very concise language, but some of that tradition has been lost, making the translation very difficult." Qin Fengshi saw Li Xingyu's expression and assumed that Li Xingyu had also seen the translations while he was reading and didn't want to look at them.

Li Xingyu's intuition about articles is unmatched by many in the league. Qin Fengshi asked her to look at them, hoping to find some inspiration from Li Xingyu. He really wanted to know what the previous articles were about.

"Hmm... Okay, Grandpa, I've sent them to you. I haven't fully recovered them yet, so I'm sending them to you in order. This is the first one. I'll send you the rest after I've recovered them." Li Xingyu sent them all out, but she didn't plan to send them all out at once. It was too conspicuous, and she didn't want her family to pay too much attention to her.

"Alright, alright, come here, Xinghe, help Xiaoyu take this over." Qin Fengshi handed the book in his hand to Xinghe, who was separated from him by a Tian Shu, and asked him to give it to Li Xingyu.

"Here you go, Little Feather. Do you want to take a look now? I can turn the pages for you." Xinghe handed the book to Li Xingyu, looking at the book, which was as tall as she was sitting, with a worried expression.

"Could you turn to the first page for me? I want to see the gist of it first." Li Xingyu looked at the book; it was definitely one she didn't want to read. 'This book is probably as big as the Yongle Encyclopedia! Tsk tsk tsk, it's so huge! I want to see what's written inside!'

"Okay~" Xinghe placed the book on his lap, moved a little closer to Li Xingyu, and slowly turned to the first page.

The books about interstellar travel were no different from those I had read before. The characters were all in neat, square regular script, and they even had pinyin. The first page was an overview, a whole page of dense text explaining under what circumstances, when, and where these articles were discovered, and how they were restored.

Li Xingyu quickly skimmed through the text and roughly understood the content. She was already a fast reader, and the main system had given her a skill called "Quickly Reading the Stele".

"To ride past a stele on horseback" is a Chinese idiom. It refers to a scholar who, while parading through the streets, passed by a stone stele. He rode past on horseback, glanced at the stele, and could recite the inscription on it word for word without missing a single character. This is equivalent to having both photographic memory and the ability to read ten lines at a glance.

Although Li Xingyu still can't quite remember people's names and faces, and has difficulty matching the two, she is still incredibly helpful when it comes to memorizing other things, such as articles, calligraphy and paintings.

"Could you please help me turn to the first poem?" Li Xingyu quickly finished reading the book's overview and table of contents. She had one side of the page that was easier for her to turn, but she needed Xinghe's help with the other side, as the table of contents was on the side that was easier for her to turn.

Li Xingyu glanced at the table of contents. The Literature Department of Blue Star had assigned a number to each article. It seemed that the numbering was done in the order of restoration, because many familiar poems and songs were in a scrambled order and not numbered according to the dynasty. Of course, it was also possible that they did not know this.

"Quiet Night Thoughts? A work by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai? Hmm... It feels both unexpected and yet perfectly logical." Li Xingyu looked at the familiar four lines of five-character regulated verse and felt a strange sense of emotion welling up inside her.

"Hmm? Tang Dynasty? Poet? Li Bai? Why did Xiao Yu say it was both unexpected and reasonable?" Qin Fengshi often turned into a walking encyclopedia of questions when he encountered something he liked. Hearing Li Xingyu's words, wasn't he just like that?

Normally a gentle, refined, and easygoing person, he now has an expression of thirst for knowledge.

"Ah~ It's just that Siwei'er's dad has a book about early childhood education on Blue Star. It says that this poem is an ancient poem that they had to memorize when they were young, and it even gave a special introduction to the poem. I thought it was quite simple, so I memorized it." Li Xingyu skillfully gave an excuse when Qin Fengshi asked her question.

She had just been so familiar with the poem that she unconsciously linked the name with the dynasty and author. Li Xingyu was a little confused, but she didn't intend to change this habit she had developed in elementary school.

'Qingyao, Qingyao, Hanqing, Hanqing, summoning, summoning, I'll have to trouble you two again. Could you check if my father has this book in his study? If not... you know~' Li Xingyu thought to herself as she called out to Qingyao and Hanqing in her mind.

'It feels like linking the words in poems with the dynasties and authors is ingrained in our DNA. Chinese people always seem to have strange things etched into their DNA. I like it.' Li Xingyu couldn't help but mentally grumble as she waited for Qingyao and Hanqing's answers.

"We've got it sorted out. The book does exist, but the contents were rather vague, so we've improved them." Han Qing's gentle, warm voice echoed in Li Xingyu's mind.

Li Xingyu wasn't just casually mentioning a book; she had genuinely seen it in Si Weier's study. She was only asking to confirm it. What if Si Weier had taken the book out or moved it somewhere else, and they put another identical copy in his room? Wouldn't that expose them?

The books in Siweier's Study are all one-of-a-kind, but there are electronic backups. Except for some extremely rare originals or those discovered in museums or archaeological sites, the other books are not difficult to buy. As long as you have the money, everything is negotiable.

Although money is not everything, it is absolutely impossible to live without money.

Li Xingyu also liked a quote from Da Zhangwei: "When we were young, we all thought money was everything, but when we grow up, we realize that what we thought when we were young... was not wrong at all."

"Thank you, Qingyao and Hanqing. Although we don't lack energy points, we still need as many as possible, which is equivalent to money. I'm going to work hard on my live stream." Li Xingyu thanked Qingyao and Hanqing and made up her mind to work hard to earn "money".

"It's not too much trouble. Xiao Xingyu has already collected a lot of energy. Whether in reality or during the live stream, people are always paying attention to you and their emotions are being affected by you." This time, it was Qingyao who spoke, and her tone and words were full of implications.

Li Xingyu understood, and a gentle smile curved her lips: 'Yes, like I said before, I'll do my best.'

The smile that curved Li Xingyu's lips made everyone's heart skip a beat: 'Such a warm feeling, I want to get closer.'

"Do you remember the name of that book? Does it contain the specific meaning of this poem?" Even Li Manzhou became interested and asked Li Xingyu curiously.

"Hmm... it seems to be called 'Research and Exploration on Early Childhood Education Methods on Blue Star'? That should be the title, but there might be a difference of two or three characters. I didn't look at the title carefully." Li Xingyu shifted her gaze from the book to Li Manzhou for a moment, then returned to the book.

"As for its meaning..." Li Xingyu deliberately dragged out the word, intentionally being cheeky, and then she received everyone's gaze. Oh dear, this was a bit unfriendly.

"Ahem... Of course, it was written. The bright moonlight shone on the window, as if a layer of silver frost had appeared on the ground. I looked up at the bright moon outside the skylight, and lowered my head to think of my distant hometown." Stimulated by everyone's gaze, Li Xingyu almost couldn't continue her previous sentence.
