Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz~ (Today's lunch is so plentiful, and the taste is as delicious as ever.)"

"Thank you all for your hard work. This is a thank-you gift from the cat and the Nebula Energy Entity. Please accept it." Li Xingyu and the others were sitting at the dining table watching the live stream when Bai Xi's voice rang in their ears.

It wasn't that they didn't want to sit on the sofa, but the meal they had eaten today was so satisfying that they couldn't move an inch.

Anyway, the comments in the live stream were quite entertaining and educational.

The racial characteristics exhibited by people of various races are not something that can be learned in the classroom, and the ten students watched with great interest.

"Huh? What's this?" Li Xingyu looked at the unknown shiny object that Bai Xi was handing over through her tiny tentacles and took it with some confusion.

After being fed and allowed to roam freely for a period of time, Bai Xi's energy body has grown three times larger, almost the size of a human head, and its tentacles have also become much thicker and longer.

“Buzz buzz buzz~ (These are the stars I conjured from the sky~ Aren’t they beautiful?)” Bai Xi handed one to each person, and Hao Yue and Xiao Hei didn’t miss out either. After keeping one for themselves, Bai Xi turned completely pink and didn’t forget to explain to everyone.

“It’s really pretty to look at, but Bai Xi gathered so many stars, Hao Yue and Xiao Hei must have put in a lot of effort too, right? Aren’t you tired?” Li Xingyu glanced at the round, shiny sphere about the size of a thumb in her hand, and then looked at Hao Yue, Xiao Hei and Bai Xi with concern.

The others only glanced at the items in their hands before turning their attention to Haoyue and the others.

After all, compared to these inanimate objects, Haoyue, Xiaohei, and Baixi, with whom I spend every day, are more important.

"Buzz buzz buzz~ (I'm not tired. As long as I have enough energy, I can condense a lot of them, but it will take a long time.)" Feeling everyone's concern for them, Bai Xi emitted a warm yellow light and jumped around to comfort everyone.

Haoyue and Xiaohei were also comfortably and leisurely wagging their tails in Xinghe and Che's arms.

Bai Xi started preparing for these thirteen "stars" from the very first day she arrived here.

While Haoyue and Xiaohei were discussing how to give gifts to Li Xingyu and the others, Baixi had only prepared three. They hadn't been idle during this time, but had been working hard to gather "stars" for Baixi.

Only now did they have enough energy to send out the gift with satisfaction; otherwise, Li Xingyu and the others might have received the surprise a few days later.

"Oh, I see. You've worked so hard, Haoyue, Xiaohei, and Baixi. You must have put in a lot of effort. We'll make sure you get some nourishment these next few days." Li Xingyu gently hooked Baixi's small tentacle with a finger, her movements, strength, and tone all very gentle.

“Yes, it took a long time to prepare this gift, didn’t it? What would you like to eat? We’ll make it for you.” Yufinal played with the “star” in his hand and smiled gently at Bai Xi.

Others nodded.

There are two main reasons for this:

So many "stars" certainly couldn't have been gathered all at once; the preparation time must have been quite long, and it might even have started from the moment they met.

The "stars" are filled with blessings, love and happiness, making people feel comfortable and warm from the inside out. This is the emotion that Haoyue, Xiaohei and Baixi are conveying to them.

This is a gift from a friend, and Li Xingyu and the others won't refuse it, so everyone is already thinking about what gift to give in return.

As for Yufinar's words, it felt the same as saying nothing at all; they were just expressing their attitude to Haoyue, Xiaohei, and Baixi.

Normally, if anyone wants to eat something, Li Xingyu and Xinghe will generally fulfill their request.

It's just making some food, not too much trouble, and it's also a good way to exercise.

Even if they made some small requests, they weren't unreasonable. They always made them during everyone's free time, and their attitude was very proper. After the food was prepared, they shared it with each other and praised it.

And it's just a simple dish to make, so it's really hard to refuse such a request.

"Meow meow meow~ (Hehehe, thank you all, it wasn't that hard work, I'm glad you like it.)" Haoyue licked her paws, her movements somewhat casual, but her voice was full of joy.

They have been doing very well and are very happy since they came to this home.

This made Haoyue, Xiaohei, and Baixi want to give back in some way, or to express their feelings to Li Xingyu and the others.

That's why they prepared this unique gift.

Although the process was a little tiring, the stars loved the gifts they prepared so much that the hardship was nothing.

Li Xingyu and the others played with the "stars" in their hands, and had not yet discovered the surprise hidden inside the "stars".

"Huh? What's this?" Li Xingyu twirled the round little star in her hand, when suddenly a dazzling color flashed before her eyes, and she was immediately surprised.

"Mimi~ (Wow~ Xingxing was the first to discover it after all.) Xiao Hei's half-closed heterochromatic eyes suddenly widened, and his voice was filled with a strange excitement and pride.

"Hmm? Is there some surprise inside 'Star'?" Xinghe stroked Haoyue's smooth and thick fur in his arms, his tone pleasant.

Today was truly a wonderful day. Not only did I enjoy a delicious meal, but I also bonded with other people, learned many interesting facts about races that I wasn't interested in before, and received a thoughtfully made gift...

"Meow meow meow~ (Stars, you'll have to discover this surprise yourselves.)" Haoyue nodded mysteriously.

Li Yue, standing next to her, naturally activated her personal computer and turned on the camera function: "Starry River, Bright Moon."

"Crack!"

In the still frame, Xinghe is holding Haoyue in his arms. The two, one human and one cat, turn their heads to look at the camera, their faces showing identical confusion and lingering smiles.

"A heartwarming scene and an interesting story, but is it because my photography skills are too bad, or are you two just not photogenic?"

"This photo doesn't capture even a tenth of your charm and appearance, what a pity." Li Yue looked at the photo on her personal computer screen, her originally happy expression turning into confusion and bewilderment.

Although the pixel count and resolution of photos taken by optical computers and levitating spheres have reached a certain level, they are no different from those taken directly by the naked eye.

However, for some people and things, the photos always seem to be missing something.

"Has Li Yue captured the scenes and stories she wanted to record? Is this Xinghe and Haoyue? It looks quite different from the real thing." Tian Shu was sitting on the other side of Xinghe, and he was also in the frame when Li Yue took the picture.

Hearing Li Yue's words, Tian Shu couldn't help but become curious about the footage he had taken. Come to think of it, he didn't seem to have taken many photos of the Milky Way before. Even if he did have one or two photos, they were mostly taken with a blank or serious expression.

"I posted it in the group. Tian Shu's photography skills are so good, could you give me some pointers?" Li Yue looked a little dejected.

Looking up at Xinghe and Haoyue, whose postures hadn't changed, and then looking down at the image displayed on her personal computer screen, Li Yue's confusion was almost overflowing.

"Click."

Another shutter click.

Xinghe, Haoyue, Tianshu, and Liyue turned to look at the sound, while Youfinar stared thoughtfully at his personal computer screen.

"Interesting scenes and stories, but probably because they're not photogenic. Look, even the photos I took don't look a tenth as good as the real person." Noticing Xinghe and the others' gazes, Yufinar shrugged and turned the light brain screen towards them.

The three people and one cat in the photo have different expressions and postures, but they all seem to be puzzled and thoughtful.

The photos taken by the computer make each of the three people and the cat look unique, but when you shift your gaze from the photos to the real scene, you get a very obvious feeling that "the real scene looks more than twice as good as the photos!"

"What are you all discussing here? Wow~ You just made the decision before lunch, and you're already putting it into action?"

"That's impressive execution, but... this photo doesn't capture even a tenth of your true selves." Elnis, noticing Xinghe and the others huddled together looking at something, was also drawn over.

"It must be because of the level, right? The higher the level, the more bonuses there are to appearance and temperament, which the quantum computer can't show." Tian Shu, as an intelligent system that had seriously studied photography, found the answer from his somewhat distant memories.

"Is that so? Then why don't we all give it a try?" Elnis opened his personal terminal, already quite impatient.

"Come on, let's take a group photo first, try a selfie." Elnis was too lazy to bring up the levitation ball, so he stretched out his arm and gave the camera a bright smile.

Xinghe and the others adjusted their poses accordingly, but their eyes were full of inquiry and seriousness as they looked at the camera.

"Oh, really? I'm going to find someone else. You guys do as you please." Elnis is also someone who doesn't like taking photos... Dragon, before this, the most photos he had ever taken were ID photos.

Now, as if he had discovered a new continent, Elnis took his personal terminal and went to find the others.

Apart from Tian Shu, who has a wealth of experience, the others are performing just as well as Elnis.

Although I've taken photos before, I don't pay much attention to them. As long as I can recognize myself, that's enough, right? Why bother with all the fancy stuff?

However, now that Li Xingyu has suggested "wanting to preserve beautiful fragments of time," everyone has started to pay attention to the photos.

"Little Feather, Bai Xi, Michael, Qing Qi, look here."

Li Xingyu, Michael, Qingqi, and Bai Xi were discussing the surprise inside "Stars" when they heard Elnis's voice.

The three people and the ball instinctively looked in the direction of the sound, their faces showing the same puzzled expression.

"Crack!"

"Oh dear~ Although Little Feather, Bai Xi, Michael, and Qi Qi look very good in the photos, they still look somewhat different from the real people." Elnis looked at the image displayed on his personal computer screen with a regretful expression.

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Li Xingyu, Michael, Qingqi and Bai Xi were all puzzled as they listened to Elnis's mutterings, but Li Xingyu asked first.

"Little Feather, didn't we decide this morning that if we came across any stories or scenes we wanted to record, we would take pictures of them?"

"We just wanted to record what happened at noon today, so we took a few photos. And look~" Elnis briefly explained what had just happened, and then held up his personal computer screen to show Li Xingyu and the others.

Li Xingyu and the others exchanged glances after hearing Elnis's somewhat aggrieved and coquettish words, and then turned their attention to the quantum computer screen that the other party had made public to them.

To make it easier for Li Xingyu and the others to compare, Elnis put all the photos they had just taken into one frame and enlarged the computer screen.

"Can you see what's wrong?" As someone with mild prosopagnosia, Li Xingyu carefully examined the photo displayed on the Ernis computer screen, then cast questioning glances at Michael and Qingqi.

"Uh...aren't there some differences between the photos and the real person?" After receiving Li Xingyu's pleading look, Qingqi hesitated for a moment before stating her observations.

Michael looked at the people in the photo again and nodded in agreement.

Having received the prompting, Li Xingyu's gaze shifted back and forth between the photo and the real person: "El, we don't look as good in the photo as we do in person. Is it because we're not photogenic or is there some other reason?"

After comparing for a while, Li Xingyu shared her opinion with Elnis, who was looking on expectantly.

However, Li Xingyu had already ruled out the reason that he wasn't photogenic. One or two people not being photogenic was understandable.

But there are ten people here, so surely none of them can be on camera, right?

Elnis got the answer he wanted and nodded heavily: "Little Feathers, you have good observation skills. According to Tian Shu:

"It's because our level is too high; the quantum computer and the levitation sphere can't capture our true appearance and aura, so the photos don't look as good as the real us, and it always feels like something's missing."

"Is that so? Indeed, you look much better than in the photos." After hearing Elnis's explanation, Li Xingyu looked at the photos carefully again and nodded to indicate that he was right.

Li Xingyu's voice didn't soften at all, and the live stream was still on, so her words were perfectly heard by everyone.

Li Xingyu and his team were exploring the photo effects of the optical computer and the levitating ball, and the viewers in the live stream were also discussing this topic.

Being around young people makes me feel younger too.

Because of the energetic and interesting content and the positive atmosphere in the live stream, many more viewers flocked to Li Xingyu's live stream.

However, Li Xingyu had decided long ago not to look at the number of online viewers, and Xinghe and the others didn't care about these unimportant data either, leaving only the research department staff frantically taking notes in their notebooks.

The live stream ended with a group photo of Li Xingyu and the others, all with bright smiles on their faces.
