Me and My Two Bosses' Systems

Chapter 264 The 264th Day of Wanting to Be a Lazy Person

"Hehehe, little feather, no need to thank me. This little task is not hard at all." Bellanette's already gentle expression became even gentler.

When Li Xingyu handed the Luban Lock to Li Manzhou, Bellanette already knew her plan.

Oh dear~ I've been tricked by a little cub into thinking I'm a child.

But I'm so happy!

Such a fine cub belongs to his family.

I wonder what kind of toy I should make for Little Feather?

Really been waiting.

Bellanette wore a kind and gentle smile, secretly feeling smug.

When Li Xingyu picked up the cube, she inadvertently glanced at the expression on Bellanette's face and suddenly made an inappropriate connection to canines.

What a sin.

This is my great-grandfather.

Startled by the association in her mind, Li Xingyu quickly dismissed the extraneous thoughts and focused on assembling the Rubik's Cube.

Because Li Xingyu had already colored the drawing, Bellanette simply brushed on the colors during the production process.

Li Xingyu also needs to pay a little attention to the color combination, lest she be unable to recreate it in the end.

"Alright, great-grandfather, this thing is called a Rubik's Cube, and this is its initial form."

There are many types of Rubik's Cubes. The one I have now is a 3x3 cube. The remaining pieces you have can be used to assemble a 4x4 and a 5x5 cube.

"Take this first, I'll assemble the rest." Li Xingyu placed the 3x3 Rubik's Cube in Bellanette's large hand, and then picked up the parts of the 4x4 Rubik's Cube.

Considering that the Rubik's Cube parts are basically the same except for the color, Li Xingyu deliberately chose different color schemes when drawing and coloring them to avoid confusion when assembling them.

As it turned out, Li Xingyu's considerations were correct.

Although it was unexpected that Li Manzhou and Bellanette would be responsible for making the Rubik's Cube and Luban Lock, Li Xingyu's foresight still came in handy.

Fortunately, Bellanette is quite sensitive to color, and she basically achieved zero color difference.

Li Manzhou examined the Luban lock in his hand from all angles, then his attention was drawn to the conversation between Li Xingyu and Bellanette.

Moreover, with a quantum computer, drawing and coloring are very easy and time-saving.

"Great-Grandma, you take this one first. There's one left, I'll put it together first." Li Xingyu placed the fourth-order Rubik's Cube in Li Manzhou's hand, and then began assembling the fifth-order one without stopping.

Li Manzhou held a small toy in each hand, her gaze still fixed on Li Xingyu's hands as she assembled the Rubik's Cube.

"Alright, do you want me to demonstrate how to play? Or would Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa like to explore it themselves first?" Li Xingyu asked, looking up as she finished assembling the 5x5 Rubik's Cube.

"Could you please demonstrate for us, Little Feather? I'd love to try it myself, but I have absolutely no clue how." Li Manzhou looked at the two small toys in her hands with a hint of helplessness. Although she really wanted to try it, she simply didn't know how to play with them.

"The Rubik's Cube is solved by rotating it forward, backward, left, and right to randomly scramble its colors and then solving it, like this." Li Xingyu demonstrated to Li Manzhou and the others, holding up a 5x5 Rubik's Cube.

When Li Xingyu was in elementary school, these kinds of educational toys were very popular, and she bought quite a few because of the trend.

Second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh... orders...

Cube, cuboid, hexagon, irregular shape...

Solid colors, patterns, designs...

Uniformly cut, irregularly cut...

Li Xingyu had dabbled in most of them, but after figuring out how to play, her interest gradually waned.

In the end, aside from keeping one favorite of each type for herself, Li Xingyu gave all the rest to her younger siblings.

Keep one set as a souvenir; if you keep them all, there won't be room for the other toys.

Although the parents are supportive of Li Xingyu and his friends' interests and hobbies, they sometimes even give them more pocket money.

However, Li Xingyu and his friends had a strong desire to explore the world, and they would study anything they found interesting.

In addition, there are many children in the family, and they basically play with the same toys together. So whenever Li Xingyu gets a new toy, she will give it to her younger siblings after the novelty wears off, or they will exchange toys.

It can be said that the place where Li Xingyu and the others put their toys has been expanded and expanded again.

Moreover, with their different hobbies and love for toys, it's no exaggeration to say that the toys Li Xingyu and his friends left behind in their hometown could practically fill a toy store.

However, since Li Xingyu and the others would occasionally get interested in playing with these toys when they returned to their hometown, the elders gave up on the idea.

Li Xingyu and his younger siblings kept their contributions to themselves and remained anonymous.

Besides, don't think they don't know. Sometimes the elders play with their toys too, and they seem to have a lot of fun.

If they didn't all only go back to their hometowns during holidays, they wouldn't have to wear the skin of teenagers and play with toys meant for children, even though some of those toys are indeed quite fun.

Hey~

They have sacrificed so much for this family.

These are middle school, high school, and university students from the Li family who, after finishing their homework during holidays, give up playing on their phones and instead play with elementary school toys.

Li Manzhou and Bellanette watched intently as Li Xingyu deliberately slowed down the movements of his fingers as he turned the Rubik's Cube.

The Rubik's Cube changed color blocks according to Li Xingyu's movements, from six solid colors to a chaotic mix of colors and then back to six solid colors.

"That's about it. It tests memory and thinking ability, but it probably only works for children below the awakened stage."

"It's still a little childish for someone who has awakened, but it's perfect for passing the time." Li Xingyu shrugged and placed the solved Rubik's Cube in Bellanette's hand.

"Xinghe, Tianshu, what do you think about us building some single-player and multiplayer puzzle games?" Li Xingyu turned to Xinghe and Tianshu, who had come over while she was playing with a Rubik's Cube, and asked thoughtfully.

"What kind of mini-game is it? We can test it ourselves first, and if we think it's good, we might give it a try." Xinghe and Tianshu were not surprised by Li Xingyu's sudden words, and agreed after thinking for a moment.

Tian Shu was already used to sudden changes in topic and suggestions when chatting with Li Xingyu before.

Xinghe had heard about Li Xingyu's quirky personality from Tian Shu and the Alliance.

It was only when Li Xingyu mentioned the word "passing time" that she thought of playing some educational games.

After all, although Li Xingyu used to play games, he only played them briefly when he was really bored.

Compared to the Nikki and Otome games that Li Xingyu plays almost every day, mini-games clearly don't hold much weight in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have only remembered them after triggering the keyword.

"Okay, I'll make it when I have time, or write out the plan. By the way, is there anything you need?" Li Xingyu nodded and wrote down the information about the mini-game in her memo so she wouldn't forget about it again.

"Yes, we've basically prepared all the parts. Now all that's left is assembly and decoration. I'd like to ask Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa to come and take a look with you." Xinghe nodded and explained his purpose.

"Wow~ You guys are so fast? That's amazing." Li Xingyu couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as she listened to Xinghe's words.

Less than an hour has passed, and all the materials are ready. The efficiency is incredible; it deserves a big thumbs up.

"Hehe, it's alright, because there are quite a lot of us." Tian Shu lowered his eyes a little shyly after hearing Li Xingyu's praise.

Although Li Xingyu's words were not just praising him, Tian Shu was still powerless against Li Xingyu's sincere and selfless praise.

Tian Shu had heard plenty of praise, but he hadn't encountered such simple praise for what he had done in a long time, except for a small number of people.

Looking at Li Xingyu, who was smiling in front of him, Tian Shu couldn't help but smile as well. If it weren't for Xiao Yu and the others, he probably wouldn't even recognize himself now.

Tian Shu is indeed an intelligence analysis system, and has even taken the position of intelligence officer, but this also means that he comes into contact with far more diverse information than others.

Language, writing, and images can sometimes be the sharpest and most powerful weapons in the world, and sometimes the most chaotic and filthy filth.

As someone who encounters countless languages, texts, and images every day, Tian Shu needs to be psychologically strong and clear-headed.

Having witnessed darkness and filth, Tian Shu yearns for and loves beautiful and warm things even more, such as the Li family, most of the Alliance employees, and the plants and animals of the Spirit Pointer...

"Tian Shu, you're too modest. Come on, let's go take a look." Li Xingyu shook her head in disagreement with Tian Shu's words, then excitedly pulled the two of them back in the direction they had come from.

“Little Feather is right, Tian Shu, you’re just too modest. This speed is already very fast, it’s really impressive.” Li Manzhou agreed with Li Xingyu’s opinion and gave Tian Shu a gentle pat on the head.

The little toys have been stored in Li Manzhou's storage space. After all, they're going to be our rides this afternoon, so we should watch the assembly process and pay a little attention to the decorations.

"Yes, thank you, Great-Grandma." Tian Shu lowered his head, his ears red, and rubbed against Li Manzhou's hand before secretly taking Li Xingyu's wrist in return.

Because of her politeness and her dislike of physical contact, Li Xingyu always touched Li Manzhou and Xinghe by the wrist, cuff, or hem of their clothes.

There was really no other choice but for her to either hold Li Manzhou's and the others' fingers slightly, or give up on Qianqian.

So far, Xinghe and the others have never been held by Li Xingyu; patting their heads is the closest contact Li Xingyu has ever made with them.

However, Li Xingyu may have already realized that Li Manzhou and Xinghe are slowly boiling her like a frog in water, making her get used to some normal physical contact.

Occasionally, he would pat someone's head, pat their shoulder, or hold their hand...

Li Manzhou and his team started doing this a long time ago.

Although they didn't quite understand why Li Xingyu disliked physical contact, the elders were still quite tolerant of it, provided that this dislike was normal.

Li Manzhou and the others had previously studied psychology with Rice, and Rice was taking further psychology courses, but they still couldn't figure out why Li Xingyu was averse to physical contact.

Helpless, they could only try to get Li Xingyu to accept their contact first, to see if the situation would improve slightly.

After all, every time I was with Li Xingyu, I couldn't help but want to pat her head or poke her face because she was so cute and sensible. But she would either look away in panic or look disgusted.

They initially thought it was because they hadn't spent enough time with Li Xingyu, and since they had just come from the battlefield, their imposing presence had frightened the little cub.

Later I found out that wasn't the case. Although there was a little bit of a lack of time spent together, it was mostly due to unknown reasons.

This makes parents feel heartbroken and distressed, but there is no other way but to spend a lot of time with their little ones to win their hearts.

However, the result was obvious: they succeeded...halfway.

It can be considered a success.

At least now Li Xingyu is letting Qianqian hug and lift her up high, instead of avoiding or rejecting her, which is already a big improvement.

Hu Yu and Xinghe are indeed very talented in crafts; at the very least, they have excellent comprehension and practical skills.

In just a short while, Hu Yu and Xinghe had almost finished studying the mortise and tenon structure that Li Xingyu had given them.

Of course, this is also because Li Xingyu only gave the most basic part.

Half an hour later, three identical wooden boats appeared before the group.

"Yes, the initial observation has been successful. Next, we just need to do some waterproofing and anti-corrosion treatment on the boats before they can be launched." Li Xingyu, Hu Yu, and Xinghe inspected the three boats and nodded in satisfaction.

Good job, you succeeded on your first try.

Although it was expected, it was still very heartwarming.

“Great-Grandma, Grandma, Second Grandma, you can start thinking about the decorations now. How about three different colors and styles?” Li Xingyu turned to look at Li Manzhou and Li Qingyue, smiling brightly.

“Of course, no problem. Although I can’t compare to Lost in terms of design, I still have some knowledge and won’t let Little Feather down.” Li Manzhou looked at Li Xingyu, who was smiling brightly, and nodded in agreement.

Haven't you ever seen a pig run, but haven't you ever eaten pork?

When Lost and Li Xingyu were drawing designs or making clothes for them, they never hid from them. Through this exposure, Lost and Li Xingyu gradually learned a little about design.

Moreover, it's just decorating a small boat, and if you have normal aesthetic sense, it should be fine. However, the tricky part now is the decoration itself.

As for the fabric, with Li Xingyu and Yan Qing there, there's no need to worry.

However, you can't decorate an item with just one material and pattern, let alone three different styles.

"Meow meow meow~ (Stars, we're back.)"
