Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

"I'll help." Li Xingyu watched as Elnis efficiently and quickly set up the venue, and took a few steps forward.

"Little Feather, let us do it. You can chat with Congqian and Xiaoqing more." Cain and Qingqi had finished their work and subconsciously walked over to Li Xingyu.

Seeing the two people walking towards her, Li Xingyu glanced at Elnis, who was busy by himself, and blinked: "Okay, then I'll make you something delicious later."

Since they've said that, and their faces are so determined, she'll play for a while and then cook some delicious food once they've finished dealing with it.

Yes, a perfect division of labor.

Thinking of all this, Li Xingyu took Congqian and Xiaoqing with her and went to the nearest place where they could sit.

"hu~hu~"

Li Xingyu was chatting enthusiastically with Cong Qian and Xiao Qing when suddenly, a very regular sound of wind came from above, growing louder as it approached.

Everyone looked up and saw a large, entirely black bird dragging a black object as it flew towards them.

"Caw~ caw caw~ (Star, we're here, are you not late?)" The bird's voice confirmed Li Xingyu and the others' identities even faster than the bird itself.

"Xiao Hei, Zui Zui! Of course we're not late, it hasn't officially started yet. Besides, Bai Xi and Wu Wu haven't arrived yet either." Li Xingyu stood up and greeted Zui Zui, who had landed not far from them, and Xiao Hei, who was perched on Zui Zui's back.

Zui Zui and Xiao Hei were already familiar with Cong Qian and Xiao Qing, since they had mutual friends and would occasionally visit each other.

"Rustling sound~"

Just as Li Xingyu was about to send a message to Bai Xi, she heard a rustling sound and at the same time, her mental energy detected Bai Xi's information.

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, Li Xingyu found herself in a familiar scene where she heard the voice before hearing the person. She heard Bai Xi's voice first.

"Buzz buzz buzz~ (Stars, stars, here we come!)" Bai Xi's voice rang out in everyone's ears, accompanied by a rustling sound, her tone full of cheers and excitement.

Li Xingyu turned her head in the direction of the sound, and the first thing she saw was a creature as tall as her with many legs.

Because the place Li Xingyu chose was a little close to the woods, she turned her head and was immediately faced with this creature that she did not recognize at the moment.

"Centipede?!" Li Xingyu looked at the enormous creature that looked familiar and had a feeling that he was about to bend over and crush it at any moment.

Apart from its color and size, the creature in front of me, which was just slightly raised, looked exactly like the centipede I remembered.

God knows, although Li Xingyu wasn't afraid of anything, she didn't really like getting close to creatures with lots and lots of legs, because it always felt weird.

But you know what, this centipede has a light purple starry sky color scheme, with its body and legs being the same color. It looks quite nice, at least the colors are harmonious.

Forgive Li Xingyu for not knowing what to say besides colors; she felt her brain had stopped working.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. (Star? Are you the master’s good friend that Bai Xi mentioned? My name is Wuwu, I am a starry sky centipede, nice to meet you.)” Li Xingyu listened to the centipede in front of her, no, the centipede’s self-introduction, and her eyebrows twitched slightly.

'So centipedes can make sounds too? That's how they talk. I feel like I've learned something new.' Li Xingyu looked at the dark purple tentacles twitching on the top of the centipede's head with a look of amazement.

"Ah, hello centipede, I'm Li Xingyu, or you can just call me Xingxing. It's nice to meet you." Although Li Xingyu's mind was racing with all sorts of thoughts, her body still acted honestly as she introduced herself to the smiling centipede, even subconsciously extending a hand.

After Li Xingyu finished speaking, she saw her hand hanging in mid-air and her expression froze for a moment. Just as she was about to pull it back, Wuwu gently placed one of its claws on her palm, which was now facing upwards as she pulled her hand back.

"Swoosh. (Hello, since we didn't know what you liked, Bai Xi and I prepared some gifts for you. We hope you like them.)" Wuwu placed one of its paws in the hand of Li Xingyu, whom it had been longing to see.

While talking to Li Xingyu, the centipede used its other claw, which was symmetrical to its first claw, to pull out a package wrapped in light purple cloth from somewhere and placed it in front of her.

In Li Xingyu's ears, Wuwu's voice was a male voice that was somewhere between a boy's voice and a young man's voice, with a feeling of youthful innocence and full of vigor.

Ok.

This is the voice that Li Xingyu likes.

"Thank you, Centipede. Let's go sit over there and chat for a bit. Once El, Cain, and Qingqi have finished processing the cow, we can officially begin our dinner." Li Xingyu felt happy just hearing Centipede's voice and quickly invited it to sit down.

Although she was very curious about what was inside the package that was half her height, Li Xingyu decided to wait until after she finished eating before opening it.

As for whether to watch it alone, with Xinghe and the others, or dismantle it during a live stream, that depends on the situation.

Li Xingyu put the package into her special gift storage space, and then led Bai Xi and Wu Wu back to where they had been sitting.

Congqian and Wuwu seemed to know each other, and Congqian flicked her tail as if to greet Wuwu.

The centipede wasn't surprised to see Cong Qian, because it had heard Bai Xi mention knowing several white-lipped bamboo vipers before.

In the entire Li family area, there are only five white-lipped bamboo vipers, and the only female is Cong Qian.

They have all lived here for a long time and are quite familiar with both humans and animals in this area.

I ran into those two while hunting not long ago.

Watching Congqian and Wuwu interact, Li Xingyu asked curiously, "Wuwu, do you know how old you are?"

If they had just met, she wouldn't know what to talk about, but Li Xingyu was somewhat curious about the little animals around her.

Especially their age.

I don’t know why?

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. (Hmm? Is this referring to my age? I don't remember exactly how many years, because I'm not very sensitive to time, but I'll be an adult in a few years, that's what my instincts tell me.)" Centipede tried to shrink itself to the length of Li Xingyu's entire arm, and lay down on the soft sofa with Cong Qian and Xiao Qing.

"Oh, that's great. I still have a long, long time before I grow up. Centipede, your shell is so beautiful! It looks like the night sky." Li Xingyu felt a mix of envy and admiration upon hearing the centipede's reply.

That's just how people are.

When I was little, I always looked forward to growing up quickly.

As we grow up, we start to miss our childhood.

What a contradictory creature.

As Li Xingyu spoke, she extended one of her fingers and carefully poked the centipede's hard carapace.

"Buzz buzz buzz~ (Centipede, I knew the stars would say things like that!)" Before the centipede could even speak, Bai Xi's smug voice rang out, and she was hopping and waving her little tentacles on the centipede's back.

Looking at Bai Xi's inexplicable excitement and smugness, Li Xingyu was completely bewildered: "Huh?"

"Swish, swish, swish... (Because our Starry Sky Centipede has been living alone since it was very young. Bai Xi is the first creature whose color is so similar to mine that I have encountered since I started living on my own, so I want to become good friends with it.)

However, I'm the only creature in the vicinity that's this color, and I always feel like there's an invisible barrier between me and other creatures, so I've never been in a good mood.

When it met Bai Xi, it was all alone, and it had come from a very, very, very far place, but it was radiating joy.

I couldn't help but ask it why?

It told me that the stars said it looked a lot like the night sky, and that our colors were similar, and that the stars would say the same thing to me. The little antennae on the centipede's head vibrated incessantly, as if telling its innermost thoughts.

"So that's how it is. Are centipedes that powerful? It seems that Congqian also left her family when she was young, and Haoyue and Xiaohei are the same. They're really amazing!"

However, aside from Xinghe and Tianshu, who have no blood relatives, Liyue, Nar, Che, Cain, Qiqi, Michael, and El have all left home.

"They're not even adults yet, how brave!" Li Xingyu carefully touched the centipede's shell, glanced around the backyard, and murmured to herself as she looked at the fiery clouds on the horizon, seemingly with a mix of admiration and wonder.

Although it was said to be a muttering to himself, all the creatures present, including the floating sphere, heard Li Xingyu's words.

For a moment, everyone fell silent. However, these small animals, whose genes were engraved with independent DNA, felt that Li Xingyu was praising them, and they were all extremely happy.

Bai Xi launched herself onto Li Xingyu's shoulder, her two thin tentacles wrapped around her neck, and her round body rubbed against her cheek and neck, making a series of meaningless "poof" sounds.

Hearing Bai Xi's voice filled with coquettishness and joy, Li Xingyu tilted her head and snuggled against Bai Xi's body, then reached out and petted Hao Yue, Xiao Hei, and Xiao Qing, who had jumped into her arms.

"Ah, sure enough, small animals are so therapeutic." Li Xingyu collapsed onto the soft sofa, surrounded by a group of small animals.

Li Xingyu felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his life and was becoming somewhat conceited.

"Little Feather, we've already taken care of the cow, but you said we shouldn't throw away its stomach. Are you going to make some kind of novel dish?" Elnis said as he wiped his hands with a wet wipe and walked towards Li Xingyu.

"Well, I'll keep it a secret for now and reveal the answer tomorrow." Li Xingyu lazily nestled on the sofa, idly petting the small animals beside her and in her arms.

"Swoosh. (Hello, my name is Centipede, nice to meet you.)" Centipede's body trembled slightly, but it still introduced itself to Elnes, who was sitting next to it.

"Hiss hiss hiss~ (Hello, I am Cong Qian, and they are my children. Nice to meet you.)" Cong Qian's reaction was not much different from that of the centipede. Her originally round pupils suddenly turned into slits.

As a male dragon, Elnis's bloodline and abilities have a suppressive and intimidating effect on most spirit-wielding creatures.

At first, Haoyue and the others avoided Elnis like the plague, but after spending time together, with Li Xingyu and the others mediating between them, and with Elnis gradually controlling his aura, the two sides are now getting along quite well.

However, among all the small animals present, those who got along normally with Elnis did not include Centipede and Onion.

"Um... Little Feather, what did they say? I haven't had time to turn on the translator yet." Elnis froze for a moment, then looked at Li Xingyu for help.

Although he didn't know what Congqian and Wuwu were talking about, Elnis could still tell from their body language that they were talking to him.

In other words, apart from his own dragon language and interstellar language, Elnis has only learned the languages ​​of the more populous races and the languages ​​of cats and cypress.

Well, I only learned cat language after I found out I had been chosen as Li Xingyu's guardian.

As for Bai Xi's language, Li Xingyu and Bai Xi taught her step by step after she arrived here.

There are really no courses on nebula energy body language in StarCraft, and there's nowhere to learn it even if you wanted to.

Fortunately, Ernest's language learning ability is terrifyingly strong. In just over half a month, or even a month, he was already able to have simple conversations with Haoyue and the others.

Since the main purpose is to understand Haoyue and the others' language, it doesn't require him to speak cat language or nebula language, so he learns quite quickly.

It's much faster to learn than languages ​​like Zerg, Elven, Merfolk, or Beastman.

After all, one must not only be able to understand the languages ​​of these other races, but also be able to speak them.

Although there is a common language in interstellar space, each race's own language will continue to be passed down. Within their own race's territory, the local inhabitants will generally speak their own race's language.

This is also a subtle method of language transmission, a rule that is accepted by all races.

All races place great importance on the preservation of their heritage, whether it be their language, history, or handicrafts; these are things that cannot be abandoned until the very last moment.

Although there are countless races in interstellar space, the number of languages ​​that need to be learned is not particularly large, given the population ratio and size.

Of course, if you've already decided that you'll only be traveling within your own territory and among humans, then you don't need to learn the languages ​​of other races.

The translator on the optical computer is ultimately an artificial intelligence, and it is still not good enough for translating some languages ​​and words. Sometimes, due to slight pronunciation and tone issues, the translated meaning can be completely different.

This is why, even though there are quantum computer translators available, many people still choose to learn several foreign languages.
