Chapter 172 Lu Renkui listened

Upon hearing this, Lu Renkui immediately summoned the drum kit.

When David saw the dark brown-haired girl in front of him summon a set of pink drums, he stood there for a moment, but quickly regained his composure and answered his question that had been bothering him for the past week—why would a cute-looking girl need such a large skateboard?

If the skateboard isn't big enough, there won't be any place to put these musical instruments.

David took a small machine out of his pocket, which looked like a programming tool. He plugged one end of the machine into the slot on the skateboard and then debugged it.

Then, David walked to the drum set and pointed the right end of the skateboard at Lu Renkui, who was inside Sun Xi's body, and said, "When I press the green button in a moment, you go and hit the first thing you usually hit—because the first thing we're recording is the introductory phrases. Someone you usually hit will usually be better."

Lu Renkui nodded.

David pressed the green button, and the words "Recording" appeared on the small black display screen.

Recalling Sun Xi's habits, Lu Renkui forcefully struck one stick with the other.

After confirming that the dark brown-haired girl on the other side had finished recording, David pressed the red button, and the recording on the screen paused.

David pressed the yellow button again, the screen spun twice, and then a green checkmark appeared, indicating that the upload was complete.

After recording the individual commands, David said to the girl with dark brown hair in front of him, "Now record the combined commands."

Lu Renkui thought for a moment and then struck the left-hand cymbal.

"That's fine. Try tapping the stick again." David said, putting down the skateboard and standing a little further away. Lu Renkui tried tapping the stick, and the skateboard indeed separated.

Seeing that the separation was successful, Lu Renkui struck the loud cymbal again.

The skateboards, lying on the floor apart, trembled slightly before coming back together.

"Wow!" Zhao Wuyin exclaimed enthusiastically.

“Okay, looks fine.” David seemed quite satisfied. He continued, “Now you stand on it and try it out.”

Lu Renkui put away the attack instrument, stood on the skateboard and tentatively slid a couple of times. It moved smoothly and the skateboard didn't fall apart.

Seeing this, Lu Renkui summoned attack instruments again, first summoning two sticks.

He slammed the stick down hard, and the skateboard scattered apart, except for the spot where Lu Renkui was standing.

Then, each component of the drum kit landed precisely on the scattered skateboards.

"Wow—!" Zhao Wuyin was truly amazing at creating a lively atmosphere.

Although David still had the same expression as before, it was obvious that he was in a much better mood—because he had taken off his baseball cap and was basking in the sunlight.

Of course, David quickly put his baseball cap back on and said expressionlessly, "Now that you know how to use this, I'll head back."

With that, David turned and walked toward the teaching building, looking as if he didn't want to stay outside for even a moment longer: "Contact me again if you have any problems later."

“Uh…” Lu Renkui said, “I don’t think I have your contact information yet.”

"Go ask Zhao Wuyin for it."

"Okay, thank you."

"No need, I did this entirely as a response to your doubts about my abilities."

"Ah? Oh, I remember now." Lu Renkui knew why David had volunteered to take on this task; it turned out that David had heard everything she had said earlier.

"Ah, okay then, thank you." Lu Renkui lowered her head and remained quiet for a while, then looked up and asked David, "Why don't you wait a little longer? The fruit that Zhao Wuyin and I bought to thank you will be here soon."

“…Fruit?” David stopped and turned around to face the two girls again.

“Yes, that’s right! Fruit!” Zhao Wuyin answered first. “I went to pick them out with Little Cake. Little Cake even bought some cakes! Her mom also made you a pretty hat!”

"Yes, that's right," Lu Renkui quickly added. "I left the hat in the classroom. The cake should arrive after the fruit is delivered."

David was torn – he hadn't had fruit and cake in a long time.

Because he didn't listen to his father, Van Vince, David's allowance had been reduced to almost nothing—just $150 a month.

David can still afford takeout, entirely because he takes orders online—for example, writing code for people or completing their assignments.

Ordering takeout to ensure three meals a day is already a struggle for Davis, so he hasn't dared to buy fruit cakes or similar foods, fearing that if he did, he wouldn't have enough pocket money for the month. The money he earned from taking orders hasn't arrived yet, and he can't even afford a pack of instant noodles, leaving him penniless by the end of the month.

Now, the fruit and cake are right in front of him, and he doesn't even have to spend his money.

That sounds great, but David is a little embarrassed to admit it.

Because he doesn't interact with many people, David wasn't sure whether it would be better to refuse the situation as he did in the books he read as a child, or to accept it gladly.

If I refuse, it seems a bit unfair to him for spending so much time and money making this skateboard.

David didn't buy a bowl of noodles for 5 yuan this week. Instead, he ate instant noodles for 2 yuan a pack and got hot water from a convenience store.

However, if he readily accepted, it would mean he had agreed willingly. Besides, his family would probably look down on him if they knew he had accepted these things. Although David didn't really want to have anything to do with his family, he also didn't want to be looked down upon by the family he disliked.

"David? David!" Zhao Wuyin saw that David was just standing there without saying a word, and thought that David had been lost in thought, so he was calling him.

Lu Renkui stared at David without any reaction for a long time, and began to wonder if David really wanted the fruit and cake.

He probably wants it, but maybe he's too embarrassed to ask. Lu Renkui thought, but if he's not interested in fruit and cake, then he's made a mistake buying this.

"Why think so much? Take him out to eat." The voice of the system WQBYRZM, which I hadn't heard in a long time, came from inside my head.

"Hey, System, you're back." Seeing that Zhao Wuyin was still waving in front of David and hadn't noticed him, Lu Renkui began to have a conversation with the system WQBYRZM in his mind.

"Yes, I'm back." The system WQBYRZM's voice sounded... how to put it, a bit like a calm madness.

"Oh, what's wrong?" Lu Renkui asked. "Has Sun Xi woken up?"

"No, not at all," System WQBYRZM said calmly. "Do you remember the main characters from the last world?"

"Yes, I remember, Lin Yuqing and Chen Weiran," Lu Renkui said. "What happened to them?"

"The two of them broke up and both swore never to see each other again." The system WQBYRZM's tone was flat, but it sounded a little creepy.

"Huh? When we left that world, they were perfectly fine, weren't they? It's only been a few days, and they've already... they've already broken up?!" Lu Renkui was somewhat incredulous.

"Hmm~, it's probably just a little flirtatious game between young lovers," System WQBYRZM said with a smile.

"Ah, then they must get back together in the future." Lu Renkui was immediately relieved. "I thought that their breakup was the end of it."

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha." System WQBYRZM suddenly laughed, "Do you remember in the last world we were with System 0814 and the host he brought?"

"Hmm, do you remember what happened?" Lu Renkui asked.

"Their mission has suffered a huge setback." The voice of the system WQBYRZM sounded calmer and calmer, but Lu Renkui always felt a chill creep up from his tailbone to his brain.

"Ah, what does this have to do with us?" Lu Renkui asked, trembling. "Isn't our mission target Qin Men? Isn't Qin Men alive and well?"

"Yes, the Qin family is doing just fine! Luo Yingying is living insanely!" System WQBYRZM's emotions began to erupt.

"Luo Yingying saw that she had no way to win back the Qin family, and her official partner Jin Youan had broken up with her. No one could control this brat anymore, so she focused on messing with Lin Yuqing and Chen Weiran!!!"

"She also got 0814 and his host's mission target arrested—directly thrown into prison!!!"

"What did she do? Provoke, provoke, incite a crime?" Lu Renkui was completely dumbfounded. She knew that Luo Yingying's mind was probably not something that ordinary people could think of, but she didn't expect her to go this far.

"She and Gu Changlin disagreed on how to treat Lin and Chen after breaking them up. So she gave Gu Changlin a bad idea and successfully tricked him into carrying it out."

"And this terrible idea was—Luo Yingying had Gu Changlin secretly protect Chen Weiran."

"Hmm? Covert protection?" Lu Renkui's mind raced for a moment before it dawned on him. "It's not... being followed, is it?!"

“Yes, surveillance,” the system WQBYRZM said indifferently. “About a week after Gu Changlin began stalking Chen Weiran, Luo Yingying called the police, and Gu Changlin was arrested.”

"Gu Changlin was not originally in prison, and there is no evidence to show that Gu Changlin had any dangerous tendencies toward Chen Weiran."

"But Luo Yingying put a very small camera with GPS tracking in Chen Weiran's bag."

"Then that small camera with GPS positioning was something Luo Yingying had Gu Changlin buy for her."

"It was originally intended for monitoring the Qin family, but the Qin family absolutely refused to see Luo Yingying. Even if the two of them had to meet for some reason, the Qin family would keep a close eye on their bags and other belongings to prevent Luo Yingying from getting close."

"Then Luo Yingying wanted to mess with Gu Changlin, so she found an opportunity to slip this small camera with GPS tracking into Chen Weiran's bag."

"We successfully kept Gu Changlin in prison for 5 days."

"So, has the mission of System 0814 and its host become more difficult?" Lu Renkui asked after listening to the series of operations.

"As for their mission, I guessed it was to stop Gu Changlin from being obsessed with Chen Weiran, who is one of the female leads. But obviously, things didn't go as planned." System WQBYRZM calmed down again at this moment.

"Gu Changlin is not only obsessed with Chen Weiran, but after this incident, his 'darkening value' soared from 30% to 80%."

"Generally speaking, it's easiest to complete the mission when the corruption value is below 50%. The difficulty increases as the corruption value rises above 50%. Especially above 70%, the difficulty increases with every 1% increase."

"System 0814 is now determined to find me at the annual meeting and beat me up." System WQBYRZM's voice clearly conveyed a sense of utter despair.

"Well, the annual meeting might be a while away..."

"The annual meeting is tomorrow."

Lu Renkui shut up, and after a long while, he finally blurted out, "It's nothing, it's just one. You should stay out of the way."

"You checked the forum last time too, right? Are you sure there's only one person who wants to beat me up?"

"Ah this..."

"Oh, right, 0733 will probably need to contact me too."

"Hey, we don't think we've done anything to offend her, have we?"

"Oh, it's simple." The system WQBYRZM's voice grew increasingly calm, as if it were about to die. "Do you remember Maria Elisa?"

"Ah! I remember! How is she?"

"She was fine. She immediately recognized 0733 and her host inside Elina's body. Then, 0733 and her host's mission failed and they were kicked out."

"what?"

"This is the first time 0733 has been recognized and kicked out of the world by her invincible host!!"

"...Keep going, stay alive."
