“Ding!”
“Divine operation! The Host has just entered the sect, and an elder within the sect has actually taken the initiative to propose a joint cultivation invitation. This shows the Host’s infinite charm!”
“Reward: 50 Spirit Stones.”
Even with Lin Yu’s extensive experience in judging people, he was instantly stunned by the “bomb” Mo Shangying suddenly dropped.
Those two short sentences contained too much information!
First, Mo Shangying wasn't just talking big; she really dared to do it!
Second, she was calculating the days, finding the most suitable day.
Third, in a modern world where umbrellas are extremely safe, she still needs to calculate the days?
She wants to go out on a rainy day without an umbrella!
She was truly silent but then spoke with astonishing impact!
Is she playing so wildly?
Soon, Mo Shangying used powerful methods to completely make Lin Yu submit.
“Click-clack, click-clack… click-clack, click-clack…”
Her fingers flew across the keyboard again, typing away.
Then, she pushed the movable stand holding a monitor, turning the screen towards Lin Yu.
“Xiao Yuzi, these are all the usage records involving your ID card since you got it.”
“The highest frequency is internet cafes, followed by two bank cards. There are no hotel check-in records.”
“So, you’re still a fledgling, aren’t you?”
Lin Yu: “…”
Mo Shangying was clearly looking up at Lin Yu, yet she gave him a sense of seeing through his very essence.
How terrifying!
Never provoke a hacker; you’ll have no secrets at all!
But then again, twenty-year-old Lin Yu was indeed a fledgling who hadn’t experienced much, so there was nothing wrong with admitting it.
Lin Yu nodded silently.
Mo Shangying: “Just as I thought, I’m also a fledgling.”
Lin Yu: “…”
Is that true or false?
Originally, Lin Yu thought it was highly probable. But seeing Mo Shangying not refuse, but instead excitedly calculate the days for going out in the rain without an umbrella… it was hard not to be suspicious.
Mo Shangying continued to calmly analyze from the beginning:
“Xiao Yuzi, I’m only going to say what comes next once, so listen carefully and then give me an answer…”
“I’m a single-minded person, at least for now.”
“It’s hard to understand what kind of foolish impulse leads people to fall in love and get married.”
“Isn’t living alone good? Why find trouble to keep by your side?”
“So I won’t fall in love, let alone get married.”
“After turning twenty, I also occasionally dabbled in some strange websites. The content there seemed a bit interesting?”
“I checked a lot of related information, and the answer I got was that this is a normal mindset for an adult.”
“If the entire process leads to that final step, can’t we skip the process and go straight to the answer?”
“…”
Lin Yu listened to Mo Shangying’s outrageous remarks, his small heart greatly shaken.
If it were a woman in her thirties sitting in front of him, talking so eloquently, Lin Yu would only give a thumbs up and exclaim, “Sister, you truly understand life.”
But the girl in front of him was the same age as him now… twenty years old!
His actual twenty-year-old self was still occasionally “makka pakka-ing,” pondering which game to play tomorrow or which mala tang place to eat at.
And she, at twenty, was already considering the next few decades of her life?
This kind of serious discussion about an improper topic, if it were on someone his age like Chi Qingchi, she would only need to hear two sentences before turning red and scolding him as a “lecher.”
But Mo Shangying spoke as if discussing something as mundane as “eating,” “drinking,” or “breathing,” completely unhindered, expressing herself with extreme rationality.
The thoughts in a genius’s mind are indeed different from those of a normal person!
Every matter truly needs to be substantiated with “reason and evidence.”
Mo Shangying spread her slender hand, gesturing as she spoke:
“Once I determined the need to find a partner to produce the answer, I set some rules.”
“Your size should be above the national average, which is quite surprising to me.”
“When I first saw you, you still looked malnourished.”
“Xiao Yuzi, what have you been eating lately? You’ve grown so fast! Your looks also seem handsomer than before, oh?”
“Height, facial features, size, purity, favorability… and some other detailed rules, you are all above the passing line.”
“Based on the experience I’ve summarized from videos, you were just about to ‘fledge,’ weren’t you?”
“So, will you, the qualified one, become my partner?”
Such an impulsive and emotional matter was spoken by Mo Shangying in an extremely rational tone.
It instantly bewildered Lin Yu, who had over thirty years of experience.
It had nothing to do with charm, liking, or favorability…
So he was a chosen child, damn it!
Seeing that Lin Yu didn’t respond immediately, Mo Shangying swiveled in her chair and continued:
“Additional explanation!”
“Xiao Yuzi, you might be a naive and pure boy, but this collaboration must not be treated as a romance.”
“I understand myself very well…”
“Writing a complex string of code, clearing a game, watching an intense football match, finishing a wonderful movie.”
“These things that are imagined to be beautiful become bland once done once.”
“It’s probably the same for a fledgling learning to fly.”
“If you think this is a romance, I will be very, very troubled…”
Lin Yu listened from the side: “!!!”
Fully stacked!
The buffs on Ying’er were definitely fully stacked!
A young woman going to her wedding, a secret between two people, going out in the rain without an umbrella, refusing to date, no responsibility for each other… she was simply the ideal dream friend.
Weren’t many of these things what he used to say to others?
If the boomerang returns like this, it can return more often.
“I agree.”
Lin Yu answered easily and firmly.
Mo Shangying bared her fangs: “Really? Agree to everything? No more consideration?”
Lin Yu tried his best to maintain a calm demeanor: “Agree to everything, no need to consider. Let’s arrange it for next Thursday. He who reneges is a dog.”
Mo Shangying: “Hehehe, what a vicious oath. It’s a deal. He who reneges is a dog! After agreeing, there’s one more request…”
Lin Yu: “Another request?”
With Mo Shangying’s wild imagination, Lin Yu really couldn’t guess what she would say.
“Click-clack, click-clack… click-clack, click-clack…”
Mo Shangying’s fingers once again tapped the keyboard, creating afterimages.
This time, it lasted a bit longer than before.
Just now, all his attention was on Mo Shangying.
Lin Yu hadn’t had time to carefully observe the set of equipment in front of Mo Shangying.
Now that he had time, he began to seriously examine it…
Two mainframes, equipped with four monitors, were mounted on a wide workstation in the form of suspended brackets.
There was one laptop and one tablet, both automatically displaying some code and images that Lin Yu couldn’t understand, as if testing something.
In the middle of the blue and yellow light strips, there was also an “electronic fish tank” hanging?
It was one of the few decorative items besides the electronic devices on the workstation.
He called it an electronic fish tank simply because Lin Yu didn't know a better term for it.
It had a square, transparent glass shape, with various pixel fish swimming around, and occasionally a turtle would pop out…
He had never seen such a digital product on the market.
He guessed it might be a DIY creation by the genius girl.
“Alright, the premise is stated. All that’s left is the last step, which is this!”
“Xiao Yuzi, look at the screen.”
Mo Shangying reminded him.
