Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

"Cough cough cough, sure, but which dance do you want them to dance? I don't know much about classical dance or anything like that." Tian Shu coughed a few times after being choked by Li Xingyu's sweet voice before answering her question.

"Hmm? How about the Zhezhi Dance? Hehe." Li Xingyu made a devilish request with an innocent and naive look. She had just come here and had seen videos about the Zhezhi Dance online, and had even done some research on it.

"Um...which one?"

Li Xingyu was met with six bewildered and confused faces.

"Huh? There's no 'Zhezhi Dance'? It's the 'Zhe' in 'Zhemu' (柘木), and the 'zhi' in 'zhizhi' (枝枝), not what you're thinking of." Seeing the increasingly confused looks on everyone's faces, Li Xingyu seemed to have thought of something and explained with a smile.

Back then, she was also captivated by the name. After all, it's really easy to get confused if you don't look at the characters, and even if some people see the three characters, they don't know how to pronounce the first one.

"Ahem... Little Star, I just searched the StarNet and the database, but I only found some text information, not any specific dance performances." Tian Shu coughed apologetically after hearing Li Xingyu's explanation, then silently searched and enlarged his screen for everyone to see.

[Zhezhi Dance: A folk dance from the northwest region of the Blue Star Hua Kingdom during the Tang Dynasty. Introduced from an ancient kingdom in the Western Regions, it was initially a solo dance by women, characterized by vigorous movements, varied rhythms, and often accompanied by drums. Later, a duet dance, named "Double Zhezhi," was developed, featuring two girls emerging from lotus-shaped props with petals opening to dance together. The girls' hats were adorned with exquisite gold bells, and their movements created sounds during the dance. During the Song Dynasty of the Blue Star Hua Kingdom, it evolved into a multi-person duet dance.]

"That's all. The rest are just articles and poems praising the beauty of the 'Zhezhi Dance,' but they don't even add up to ten. There's no specific description of the dance itself." Tian Shu looked at the expectant faces of the crowd, slid his finger down slightly, and looked at their blank expressions with satisfaction.

We can't let him be the only one who has expectations and then disappointment; we're all in this together, and no one can escape it.

"Xingyu, do we still need the robot to dance this dance? It probably can't be done in this situation, right? Do you have any other dances you'd like to see?" Che looked somewhat disappointed as he listened to Tian Shu's words.

After all, merfolk especially love singing and dancing. Singing is something they are born with, but dancing is a bit boring if there's only music and no dance.

Currently, nearly one-fifteenth of the singers and dancers in the interstellar space are merfolk or have merfolk blood. This proportion is terrifying. They are born artists, but this does not mean they are weak. On the contrary, the stronger a merfolk's singing and dancing abilities are, the stronger their abilities and physical qualities are. It is a direct proportional relationship.

Because the racial talent of merfolk is their voice, or rather their singing, their singing skills and performance reflect the strength of their racial talent. As for dancing, merfolk live at a depth of nearly a thousand meters in the ocean, where the pressure and resistance are unimaginable. To perform an elegant and perfect dance is an extreme test of physical fitness.

"Huh? The specific video footage of the dance wasn't saved? As for other dances, I'm not that interested right now, but after hearing the name 'Zhezhi Dance,' my desire to see it has become stronger." Li Xingyu leaned forward, rested her elbows on her knees, and cupped her cheeks with her hands as she looked at the robots they were surrounding.

"Unfortunately, the only video materials of classical Chinese dance from Blue Star that have been saved so far are only one or two incomplete ones, practically non-existent." When Che asked the question, Tian Shu searched within his authorized scope, that is, all the databases so far, but found no useful information.

"Hmm...would you like to see the dance our ancestors performed ten thousand years ago?" Li Xingyu tilted her head and thought for a moment, looking at the six people in front of her and the floating sphere in mid-air. The six people in front of her had mysterious expressions on their faces.

"Hmm? It would be great to be able to appreciate it. Little Feather, did you... restore something again?" Xinghe was puzzled at first, but Li Xingyu's words aroused her curiosity, and she hesitated for a moment before asking.

The other five people also looked at Li Xingyu with anticipation and surprise.

"Hmm~ I guess so." Facing Xinghe and the others' gazes and expressions, Li Xingyu crossed her arms, nodded, and responded.

"Hey~ Little Feather~ What is it? Is it a written record of techniques and images? Some video clips or images? Or..." Upon hearing Li Xingyu's answer, Li Yue's big tail wagged incessantly, her face full of curiosity, and her voice was as sweet as honey as she gently tugged at Li Xingyu's clothes.

Li Yue has been learning about Blue Star, or rather, the human race, since she was very young, because it seems that they used to live with the human race. However, the inherited memories only contain very vague information and words. Due to the passage of time and the destruction caused by alien beasts, not much literature and information has been preserved.

This is also why the Li Yue clan treats humans slightly better than other races, because they do not reject humans and even have a slight tendency to be close to them.

After all, the abilities of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan are truly extraordinary. They are rare and hard to come by. For a long time, other races even dreamed of encountering a Nine-Tailed Fox.

This is because of the vigilance ingrained in their instincts, which drives them to stay away from complex environments, whether social or natural.

"It's a dance, but I can't say it's something I recreated, because it's from my 'memory.' Today is the first time I've danced it. Remember to record me, and I'll pick one to send to my dad later. Ahh~ You guys and the robots go get to work first, I'm going to change my clothes and get my hair done." Li Xingyu did whatever came to mind, and immediately stood up and said to Xinghe and the others.

Anyway, she's said everything she needed to say, and the programming for the robot is complete. She has nothing else to do now, so she's off!

“Okay, Little Feather, do you need any tools? If we have a robot, we can prepare the things you'll need later.” Xinghe looked at the enthusiastic Li Xingyu and gestured to the information document that Tian Shu hadn't put away yet.

"Ah~ (↗) Actually, there's nothing to prepare. I already recorded the song for this dance, so we can just play it. Oh, and you guys need to keep an eye on Xinghe and the others while they're working. I'll be right back." Li Xingyu thought for a moment, realized there was nothing to prepare, shook her head, explained briefly, then said something to the floating ball in front of her, turned around, waved, and walked towards the door.

Xinghe and the others watched Li Xingyu slowly leave the top floor, exchanged glances for a while before turning their attention away. They then quickly assigned tasks and got to work.

Actually, it's mainly the robots that operate the system. After all, once the relevant programs are implanted, they can work continuously to a high standard as long as they have enough power, which is incredibly convenient.

“Hmph↗Hmph↘Hmph→Hmph↘Hmph→→Hmph↗Hmph↘Hmph↘↗Hmph↗↘Hmph→…” Li Xingyu hummed a song as she walked towards her room, her mood obviously cheerful, swaying and skipping as she walked.

Previously, Li Xingyu, Xinghe, Tianshu, and Liyue had collected about twenty kinds of herbs, some in large quantities and some in small quantities.

Once sorted, processing is quite easy, and with the help of robots, the speed is even faster.

In about an hour, Xinghe and his team had processed nearly half of the cleaned herbs.

The cleaning process simply involves gently rinsing off the dust and dirt from the surface of the herbs without vigorous rubbing. Of course, a few individuals who require this level of care will scrub the herbs thoroughly.

This task was assigned to the robots and Che, and the specific reasons are self-evident.

"Ring ring~ ring ring~ ring ring~..."

Xinghe, Tian Shu, Li Yue, You Fei Nar, Che, and Cain were busy with their own tasks when they heard a series of soft, melodious, and rhythmic bell sounds.

The hovering ball, which had been wandering around, turned its camera towards the stairwell entrance after picking up the sound. Some people in the live stream were still wondering about it when someone with excellent hearing heard the faint bell sound and explained the situation.

Xinghe and the others stopped what they were doing and all looked towards the stairwell. The bell rang louder and louder, and a slender figure gradually appeared before their eyes:

The first thing to appear before everyone was a pair of embroidered shoes with orange-red as the main color, adorned with gold and green patterns and pearls. Then came the slender ankles with anklets, which were decorated with some small and exquisite gold bells, one of the sources of the bell sounds they heard.

Above her was an orange-red skirt with subtle gold patterns, and two light green ribbons swayed gently in front of her. A pair of slender, fair hands, as if carved from fine white jade, gently lifted the skirt. On her arms were two thin gauze shawls, one water-red and one light orange.

The sleeves were a lighter color than the skirt, and she wore bracelets adorned with bells on both wrists, which was another source of the bell sound.

Above that was an orange-red skirt with two white cranes surrounded by auspicious clouds printed on it, with a bluish-white ribbon tied around the middle, and a pearl necklace made of pink and white flowers around the neck.

Her face was still unadorned, fair and smooth, and she looked at the road in front of her with a smile and a serious and focused expression. A lotus flower-shaped decoration was drawn on her forehead in red.

Her hair was all combed up and tied into a high bun, adorned with a red ribbon, a gold butterfly and flower hair ornament, and a jade-green Ruyi hairpin. The bun was also decorated with a gold flower hairpin inlaid with pearls.

"Little...Little Feather?" Yufinal, who was closest to the door, looked at the person walking towards them with amazement. The exclamation that should have come out was so small and weak that Li Xingyu almost did not hear it.

"Hmm?" Li Xingyu had just climbed the last flight of stairs, gently released the hem of her skirt that she was holding, straightened it with both hands, and before she could take a step toward where everyone was tidying up the herbs, she heard Yufinar calling her voice and looked up.

"Hiss~" x6

Then Xinghe and the other six looked at Li Xingyu and gasped in unison.

"Pfft~ What are you guys doing?" Li Xingyu was amused by their synchronized breathing movements, and her smile was bright and warm.

"Ah? It's nothing, Little Feather. You look so beautiful in this outfit, like you stepped out of a human painting." Xinghe was pulled back from her reverie by Li Xingyu's voice, and only answered her question after a moment of surprise.

"Ahem, thank you for the compliment. I spent a long time making this 'Jinghu' bun. Isn't it beautiful?" Li Xingyu proudly showed off the bun she had spent so long making, but because she had a lot of headdresses, some of which had tassels and ribbons, her movements were not very big.

"Yes, yes, it looks good. So this is called the Jinghu Bun?" Li Yue was stunned for quite a while, but her attention was drawn back by Li Xingyu's gaze and voice as he looked around.

Xinghe and the others only learned the names and general structure of clothes they didn't recognize from the video of Li Xingyu putting on clothes. They were still unfamiliar with hairstyles, let alone ancient hairstyles.

"Yes, I was originally going to use a wig, but I don't have one yet. But I have quite a lot of long hair, so I tried using my real hair. Apart from taking more time, there are no other problems." Li Xingyu explained with a slight nod as she slowly walked towards the crowd.

It wasn't that Li Xingyu didn't want to hurry, but her current look wouldn't allow it. She didn't want to be slapped in the face by the tassels on her hairpin. Pain and speechlessness were one thing, but the most important thing was that it would make her seem rude.

Li Xingyu hadn't forgotten that she was still live-streaming, and...

"Huh? Did the number of viewers in my live stream increase again? Oh my god! How did it get so many?" Just as she realized she couldn't lose face in front of too many people, Li Xingyu specially opened her live stream interface to check the number of viewers. She was so shocked by the long string of numbers that she immediately closed her live stream interface.

"Um, I didn't see it, I didn't see it. I'm not live streaming right now either. That's all. Where were we?" Li Xingyu glanced at the number of viewers watching online and immediately felt socially awkward. Why were there more than ten people? How many were there just now? This is terrifying.

"Huh? Xingyu, what did you say?" Cain vaguely heard Li Xingyu's voice, but he couldn't hear it very clearly.

"Nothing much. Wow, you've already processed so many herbs?" Li Xingyu quickly changed the subject after hearing Cain's words.
