Miler, who has a system for giving up

Yan Luo's face turned even redder, and she lowered her head and muttered softly, "I would never run away."

I smiled, took her hand, and led her to the bedroom on the third floor.

Next, I quickly filled the wooden bucket with hot water, then took out a packet of carefully prepared Chinese medicine and gently dropped it into the water.

As I operated the machine, the originally clear water gradually turned brownish-brown, and a strong aroma of traditional Chinese medicine filled the air.

Then, I carefully took out the bottle containing the "repair fluid" and used my spiritual power to catalyze two drops of the liquid into the water.

Finally, I reached out and tested the water temperature. After confirming that the temperature was just right, I gently reminded her, "Lolo, hurry up and get in. The temperature is just right now. Don't let it get cold."

I closed the bathroom door for her. Hearing my words, Yan Luo slowly began to take off her clothes, and I heard sparse sounds.

I must have taken off my clothes and gone into the tub. I picked up the stool in front of the dressing table, opened the door to the bathroom, and placed the stool in front of the tub.

Then he sat quietly to the side, his gaze always fixed on her, with only Yan Luo's head showing.

Her hair was wet and clung to her cheeks, and her eyes gradually became unfocused.

I asked with concern, "How are you feeling?" She replied softly, "Yes, very comfortable... It feels like my body's organs and meridians are being warmed by the sun."

Then, she slowly closed her eyes, as if immersed in a state of complete relaxation.

I kept a close eye on Yan Luo's condition in the medicinal bath. Once I was sure she could handle it, I carefully added two more drops of "repair solution" to the bath.

As the two drops of medicine dissolved into the water, I saw Yan Luo's originally relaxed face gradually tense up, as if she were experiencing some kind of discomfort.

I couldn't help but feel nervous and quickly asked with concern, "Lolo, how are you feeling? Can you still hold on?"

Yan Luo frowned slightly, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, as if she wanted to expel the discomfort in her body.

She said softly, "Little Lele, I can sense some blockages inside your body. I just tried to break them with my spiritual power, so I felt a little pain. But don't worry, you can continue to add the medicine. If you really can't bear it, I will let you know."

I added it drop by drop until I added the 20th drop. Yan Luo shook her head and said in a slightly heavy tone.

"Alright, Xiao Lele, I feel like I've reached my limit. The blockage has been cleared up quite a bit, and at this rate, I think I'll be fully recovered in about a week."

Seeing Yan Luo's distressed expression and her slow speech, all he could do was offer her words of comfort.

"Lolo, no rush. This is only the first time, and you've already dripped twenty drops. That's pretty good. After you get out of the tub, go to your bedroom and practice the technique. It should run even smoother."

Seeing that Yan Luo seemed thoughtful and no longer had the pained expression she had just shown, I continued to add.

"And I've prepared two bottles for you. At this rate, you should be able to use more drops when you take a medicinal bath tomorrow than you did today. Take it slow and proceed gradually; haste makes waste."

I helped Yan Luo out of my bathroom and back to her bedroom. After watching her enter a meditative state, I left her bedroom and went down to the first floor.

Hearing the sound of people coming downstairs, Aunt Jiang quickly walked over to me and was about to help me to the dining table.

Fortunately, the stairwell was not far from the dining table, and we arrived quickly. As soon as we sat down, Aunt Jiang asked with concern.

"Miss Lele, may I call you that? I just heard that you fainted yesterday from working so hard, Mr. Sikong. How are you today? Is there anything that's bothering you? Is there anything you'd like to eat?"

I watched as Aunt Jiang asked me with concern, looking me up and down as if trying to figure out what was wrong with me.

I smiled and said to Aunt Jiang, "Aunt Jiang, call me whatever you want. I'm fine now. Sikong was just making a fuss. He was just a little exhausted yesterday, but I'm fine today."

She made a playful expression and said, "Aunt Jiang, can you really make me whatever I want to eat? I want to eat double-skin milk pudding. I've never had it before, but it looks so delicious on TV."

After hearing what I said, Aunt Jiang's face showed even more concern: "Alright, alright, I'll make double-skin milk for Miss Lele right now, and lots of other delicious things too. Oh, by the way, Young Master Sikong said that after you go downstairs, go to the computer and log into the lab's intranet."

"Okay! Aunt Jiang, thank you for your help. I'll go take care of things now, and I'll come out to eat your delicious cooking in a bit." I replied with a smile, waving goodbye to Aunt Jiang. Then, I turned and walked towards the gaming room.

Upon entering the room, my gaze fell upon the three computer desks. I then walked straight to one of them, plopped down, and without hesitation pressed the power button, turning them all on.

What's astonishing is that these computers boot up faster than anyone imagined. In the girl's memory, the computers she used to use often took one or two minutes to boot up, and the long wait was incredibly frustrating. But these three computers were completely different; they seemed to possess superpowers, starting up incredibly quickly.

In my world, having never used high-quality computer equipment, I always have to patiently wait about 30 seconds to boot up. However, these three computers here booted up easily in less than 10 seconds, a speed that left me speechless.

I looked curiously at the computers on the left and right, remembering that Sikong Feng had told me they were for work. So, I turned on the monitor of the computer on the left first. At a glance, the desktop was clean and tidy, with the words "For Work Use" prominently displayed.

I gently tapped the shortcut key, and a screen immediately displayed icons for many software programs needed for the job. My gaze quickly swept across them, finally settling on a program at the very bottom called "Sikong Labs." A surge of curiosity welled up within me, and without hesitation, I double-clicked it. The software instantly popped up its interface and began facial recognition.

The facial recognition scan went smoothly, and I gained access to the mysterious software. Upon entering, the first thing I saw was an announcement that had been displayed horizontally on the main screen. After reading it carefully, I finally understood why I had been brought to the lab's intranet—they wanted to select an assistant for me!

Just then, as if sensing that my account was logged in, Sikong Feng called. He asked with concern, "Little Lele, it seems you've recovered quite well. Luo Luo hasn't replied to my messages from yesterday to today. I remember the last time she messaged me, she said she was coming to see you. How is she doing now?"

I replied calmly, "Don't worry, Luo Luo's health is much better now. She's with me now. After successfully breaking through yesterday, she needs time to stabilize her realm. This morning, I even prepared a medicinal bath for her to help clear impurities from her body and repair those old ailments. Right now, she should be practicing her cultivation method and may not have time to reply to your message."

I teased Sikong Feng playfully, "Don't worry, I'm not that pitiful little thing who could be bullied anymore. I'm at the peak of the Golden Core stage now! Besides, there aren't many cultivators at the peak of the Golden Core stage or above these days!"

When he heard the two pieces of good news, his tone clearly changed from anxious to joyful: "Congratulations, Xiao Lele! I'm so happy for you! I also want to thank you. I called you here today to help you choose an assistant. I don't want things to happen like before. Health is the most important thing! So you can choose someone you like to be your assistant, and that way you won't feel awkward at work."

Sikong Feng explained the whole process to me in detail. It turned out that I didn't need to show up in person. After a short while, he would send me a link. After clicking on it, I could select an assistant remotely.

They will help me screen a batch of candidates beforehand, and then I can choose from these selected people. Of course, if they make a mistake or if I personally like someone, they can keep them.

Curious, I turned on each computer and was astonished to find that they all had the same software installed. Even more surprising, the three screens were synchronized! This discovery left me utterly shocked by the level of technology in this world. Compared to my original world, the technology here was clearly far more advanced.

Looking back on that world, my life was basically a constant cycle of accepting and completing various tasks. Aside from occasionally gathering materials while on a mission, the rest of the time was spent repeating monotonous and tedious work. If it weren't for survival and accumulating wealth, I probably would have given up this dull lifestyle long ago.

However, upon arriving in this new world, everything changed. The technological advancements here have brought me unprecedented novel experiences, filling me with anticipation for the future, as if giving me a chance to live again and find meaning in life.

Sure enough, not long after, windows popped up on each computer screen showing Sikong Feng. I answered them one by one, and could clearly see a chair placed across from me in the office. At the same time, I could also clearly hear Sikong Feng talking to me from afar: "Little Lele, can you hear me? Can you see clearly?"

However, I couldn't find the microphone, so I tried saying, "Sikong, I can hear you and see you clearly, but I can't see the microphone. Can you hear me?"

It seemed Sikong Feng heard me; he quickly sent me a design drawing of a gaming room, with detailed annotations of the room's layout. After examining it carefully, I finally found the microphone's location on the drawing—it was hidden right there, pressed tightly against the bottom of the computer monitor, where a pale yellow light emanated.

“Little Lele, I’ve already sent you the blueprints. However, the other blueprints are with your older brother. If you need them, you can ask him for them,” Sikong Feng added.

"Then if you don't want to talk, you can press the F9 key on your keyboard. That's a shortcut key specifically set up for you to turn your microphone on and off. Now let's get started! If you're busy or sleepy, you can go do something or take a break at any time, and I'll have my staff send you the recorded video," Si Kongfeng patiently explained to me.

“Okay, I understand. I need to go up and visit Luo Luo later. It’s so great to have video; I can watch and choose with her. Hehe, you guys can start now.” I replied to Sikong Feng with satisfaction.

Before long, I saw many applicants, but their enthusiasm was almost overwhelming. Some even asked me directly if I had a boyfriend or if I needed a younger brother.

Not only the men, but the women's enthusiasm was equally overwhelming. Some asked if I needed a nanny, while others asked if I needed a maid. I felt utterly helpless in the face of these questions.

On camera, I also saw Sikong Feng's lips twitch as he heard these bizarre questions. On a piece of paper, which looked like a list of statistics, one after another, he marked off the answers with sharp crosses. When he got to the last page, although he wasn't as crazy as the others, he was still somewhat fascinated by me. Sikong Feng finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you all crazy? You're going to scare Director Miler. My lab seemed perfectly normal before. What's going on? Everyone's more insane than the last."

The one who was a little better answered Sikong Feng's question before leaving, which was also the question I wanted to know.

"Dean Sikong, Director Miler is in high demand right now. Everyone wants to be her assistant. When she first arrived, some people confidently said they would teach Director Miler a lesson, but instead, she gave us a silent slap in the face! On her very first day, she actually concocted that long-lost potion, and the kind that no one would ever dare to dream of. Everyone was shocked, which is why everyone is so crazy." After saying this, the man left.

I saw that Sikong Feng seemed to understand why his employees were in this situation, as if it was his fault. The HR person next to Sikong Feng reminded him that two more employees hadn't been interviewed yet; should they be called in? Sikong Feng then snapped out of his daze, picked up the registration form, and sure enough, there was another page with only those two glaringly obvious names, which made him dizzy again.

"Dean Sikong, they both submitted their applications together just 20 seconds before the deadline. They probably thought about it for a long time before making the decision. Are we really not going to give them a chance to change their minds?" the HR representative asked.

Sikong Feng looked at the two names, a sense of helplessness washing over him. He knew he had special feelings for these two people, but under the current circumstances, he couldn't be sure if he would give them a chance.

Just then, Aunt Jiang suddenly opened the door and came in. She saw me at a glance, walked up to me without hesitation, took my hand, and led me towards the dining room.

At the dining table, Yan Luo was already seated, waiting for us. A smile appeared on her face when she saw Aunt Jiang leading me out of the gaming room. She looked at me quietly, her eyes filled with expectation and tenderness. "Little Lele, come quickly, or I'll eat it all!"

I looked in the direction of the sound and noticed a large dining table in the restaurant, covered with various delicate small bowls, plates, and prepared spoons and chopsticks. Aunt Jiang quickly opened all the lids, and I stared wide-eyed, speechless with shock at the sight before me.

These delicacies all looked incredibly tempting, exuding a rich aroma. Among them were translucent double-skin milk pudding, its surface smooth and delicate like jelly; herbal jelly, dark as charcoal, with a subtle herbal flavor; golden durian glutinous rice cakes, mouthwateringly delicious; and fragrant osmanthus lotus root with honey, sweet and refreshing. Each snack was like a work of art, meticulously crafted, making one reluctant to disturb their beauty. Wait a minute~

Aunt Jiang made two portions, one for me and one for Yan Luo.

We both enjoyed the meal immensely.
