A Couple Made in Heaven [Interstellar]

The virtual home will automatically save the user's offline location, and set it as the default online point when the user logs in to the game next time. When Gu Jiangchu once again stood on the rock formation of Guanhai Cliff, the scene around him has not been fully loaded. After that, you can feel the sea breeze that has cooled down at night.

He squinted his eyes slightly in the cool evening breeze, looked at the virtual home where the time setting was completely synchronized with reality, and was about to call up the map to see where his neighbor and friend who had just dropped his vest was. A figure stood not far in front of him.

Wei Pingrong, who was wearing an "E" vest, stood no more than one meter away from him, looking at him quietly.

Because the other party looked the same as before being forced to log off, Gu Jiangchu suddenly felt that he was actually the one who logged off in the middle of the conversation, and the other party had been waiting here patiently, and finally waited for him, a slow guy, to come back on-line.

Wei Pingrong has been in a daze for the past 30 minutes. He watched the virtual line of sea and sky slowly swallow up the last twilight of the setting sun. His friend "Salted Fish" appeared by stepping on the coastal lighting system.

"Salted fish" - the user name that Gu Jiangchu randomly picked up when he registered his account.

For all the places that need to fill in custom names, Gu Jiangchu filled in "salted fish" for himself. After he accidentally learned another meaning of this term, he thought it was very suitable for him. Anyway, no one knows anyone in the online world. Basically not interacting with other people, this nickname is very convenient... until he ushered in the day when he heard it being called out seriously.

"Salted fish."

Wei Pingrong called out his friend's user name in a straight voice, because the tone was too rigid, he just called out the expected friendly greeting with the effect of a roll call report.

The "Salted Fish" deity was taken aback for a moment, his expression suddenly a little unpredictable.

Wei Pingrong's heart bounced onto the trampoline following the change in Gu Jiangchu's expression, shaking uncontrollably.

Even if the two of them are full of calculations, they have only known each other for only two hours, but the title of "No. [-]" on things is already very meaningful. If "No. Even if it is a broken stone picked up by the riverside, it seems to have a priceless weight in the hand. People can't help but be careful with it, and even some don't know what to do with it, as if holding it with your own hands is not a gift. In order to pay attention to it, it is appropriate to find a more stable place to place it.

Wei Pingrong is currently in such a state that he doesn't know what to do with Gu Jiangchu.

There is no smart assistant around him who can easily access the large database and call up the real personal information of "Salted Fish", and he doesn't even know that he has taken off his vest in front of "Salted Fish". The expressionless face, in fact, is desperately rummaging through the boxes in the brain, trying to dig out the friendship knowledge that I have abandoned for many years, and compare which ones can be used one by one.

【Jiang Chu, you don't have to pay too much attention to a nickname that can be modified at any time. ] The smart assistant who entered the virtual space with the owner spoke in a gentle voice. He is linked to Gu Jiangchu's spiritual network, and the communication between the two is based on spiritual interaction.

In order to alleviate Gu Jiangchu's subtle emotions of being called "salted fish" face to face, Ian searched his own database and used previous precedents to appease his master: [Before choosing 'salted fish' as ​​the long-term virtual pronoun, you used to I used to like 'Coco', 'Hazel' and other nicknames, and used them for a long time, because...]

[Because then you and I sound more like brothers. ] Gu Jiangchu added when Ian revealed the details of his past stupidity.

He once thought of forming "cocoa chocolate" or "hazelnut chocolate" with his smart assistant. The grassy guy firmly believes that with names like "Ke Ke" and "Guo Guo", he is a shy and beautiful girl who doesn't like to open the microphone and is ashamed to meet people. The more indifferent he is, the more mysterious and entangled he is to the other party In the end, he was overwhelmed and declined Ian's proposal for assistance, and installed viruses one by one on each other's terminal systems by himself, and then instructed Ian to clean up the "crime scene". .

[It's a pity that you modified them later, but I know that doesn't mean you are alienated from me. 】Ian said with nostalgia in the spiritual field, 【I just want to express that as a thing that can be modified at any time, the nickname is not worth changing your emotions—and you should give the gentleman opposite a little response Yes, although he looks calm, but I scanned his heart rate to fluctuate by 5%, and his micro-expression shows that he is nervous and urgently needs your response. 】

【Yes, this system agrees with this point of view. Your friend just greeted you. According to the manual of "How to Be an Attractive Friend", you should... beep. 】

The "brother's mind", which had been suppressed by Ian, somehow broke through the gag setting, and suddenly came out and howled twice, but it was only halfway through a long speech before Ian pushed it back.

【terribly sorry. 】Ian said,【I misassessed the background authority of this system in the virtual application, the value has been corrected, and the mute continues to be turned on. When you expect to hear its voice, please let me know, and I will lift the mute setting . 】

[I don't think this 'expectation' will come, at least in the short term. 】

Gu Jiangchu slightly bent the corners of his eyes for the thoughtfulness of the smart assistant. He thanked Ian in the spiritual field, turned his attention back to the present, and met Wei Pingrong, who had been watching him intently.

Wei Pingrong's gaze has never left his friend since the appearance of "Salted Fish". Although the sea view cliff at night is dimly lit, and the seaside lighting below cannot reach here, only a few white lights like a background board can be seen from a distance. He was born with good night vision, and he caught the smile on the corner of "Salted Fish"'s eyes and eyebrows.

——This is a friendly signal!

It is impossible to tell whether Gu Jiangchu is smiling at himself or not. Wei Pingrong's experience in accepting others' kindness is simply lacklustre. He instinctively thinks that he should return the same friendly smile, but the corners of his lips that have been straight for many years seem to have long been It was rusted, and he was so stiff that he wished he could fiddle with it by hand.

An ideal smile was the same as the friendly greeting he had expected at first, but it was changed by him.

Luckily, his buddies don't seem to mind his dry greetings and smirks.

"I'm sorry to ask you to go online so late." Wei Pingrong said after putting away his "smile". He felt like he had put away a "gentle" label that had just been forcibly inserted/onto his forehead at the same time, and the whole person returned to the most daily routine. After the natural state, on the contrary, he relaxed a little from the imperceptible tension.

When facing someone he was not familiar with, Gu Jiangchu's gentleness and politeness came online again: "You can't say that, this will be me asking you if you are ready to continue playing, maybe without me suddenly popping up again, you are already ready to play The line has rested, I was the one who left you on the line."

This polite pushback perfectly fit the reality, Wei Pingrong paused for a moment before thinking of denying it, but his friend had already turned over the topic and asked him why he asked him to go online in the evening.

"Salted Fish" is a gentle and kind person just like his new neighbor Gu Jiangchu who lives next door.

Wei Pingrong issued two good person cards from the bottom of his heart, completely unaware that these two cards were stuck on the same person's face. He didn't feel the cold sea breeze when he was standing alone on the sea view cliff. "Yu" stood here with him, wearing the novice outfit randomly sent by the system, with limited warmth, but worried about the other party's body temperature, and suggested that the two return to the residential area first, and then talk on the way back.

Without Ian's micro-expression analysis, Gu Jiangchu also felt Wei Pingrong's kindness towards him. He responded to the other party's proposal, and at the same time sighed slightly in his heart - because the other party was careful and restrained even when expressing kindness.

This person who accepts help from others has to look forward and backward for a long time, and when he is supported by others, he will be frozen into a stone. It seems that he takes the initiative to show too much kindness to others as a nuisance, and he is afraid that his approach will trouble others.

Therefore, when Gu Jiangchu heard the reason why the other party pulled him online, Xiao Snack was surprised: "Want to ask me to help repair the roof?"

He still remembered the "no" four consecutive rejections in the morning meeting.

In an instant, the scene of the young man hanging on the cliff and insisting on rejecting him slipped into his mind. An invisible thread connected the previous events together. Gu Jiangchu realized that he looked at Wei Pingrong who was walking beside him and nodded, A conjecture slowly came to mind——

Perhaps, at that time, the other party was afraid that if he really went to help, his own house would have the same problem, so he rejected his offer of help.

And now, because he has pulled the other party up with Anwen and confirmed that no accident happened, the other party carefully stretched out the branch for help, asking him for help, and at the same time... perhaps wanting to confirm whether he can contain some kind of accident occur?

"No problem." Gu Jiangchu agreed to Wei Pingrong's request, seeing fleeting relaxation from the youthful face.

He called Ian in the spiritual field.

[Add filter conditions. 】Gu Jiangchu softly instructed his smart assistant, 【Try to add keywords such as 'bad luck', 'bad luck', 'magnetic field disorder', 'accident', and then go to the database to search for corresponding information. 】

【yes. 】Ian always responds to Gu Jiangchu's orders first, and then raises objections. He said, 【Except for the 'magnetic field disorder' item you just mentioned, in the data I retrieved for the first time, the 120 item is related to Mr. Wei's Relevant online reviews include keywords such as 'unlucky', 'bad luck', 'accident', etc. After refining all the high-frequency words in these 120 reviews, there is also 'human figure' with the same frequency as the above keywords. Self-propelled broom star', those who killed their parents... I'm sorry. 】

Ian’s voice reporting the refining results stopped suddenly, as if the smart assistant from the Palace Research Institute would also be stuck, and he continued after two seconds: [Since the following keywords violated the rules of network civilization, My programming prevents me from reading them to you. 】

【……fine. 】

Gu Jiangchu stopped almost at the same time as Ian, who was stunned. He shook his head at Wei Pingrong, who looked over worriedly, indicating that it was nothing, and then continued to walk as if nothing had happened.

The smart assistant who complies with the rules of civilization can't utter swear words, but his owner can almost imagine what kind of noun is probably followed by "the" after listening to the first half.

It's all ugly after all.

...Walking steadily beside him, his eyes still falling on him from time to time, this person who wanted to talk about it several times but didn't say anything, does he usually live in such a social relationship?

Gu Jiangchu couldn't see any emotional changes on his face, he just thought about it quietly, and he remembered Wei Pingrong's identity as a suspected incompatibility, and asked Ian: [What is the deviation value of scanning in the virtual world? 】

Ian understood what he wanted to do as soon as he heard it, honestly reported the value, and then said based on rational data analysis: [I do not recommend you to scan Mr. Wei in the holographic game, although the virtual image is based on real people , but in order to meet the player's personal preferences as much as possible, the system opens up to the player a high level of customization authority. 】

For example, Wei Pingrong once showed an attitude of knowing but not being sure about Gu Jiangchu. Gu Jiangchu came to his senses after learning that the other party and user E were the same person. He was automatically modified based on his own appearance, so Wei Pingrong in reality looked familiar to him, but he was not sure if he was a "salted fish" or just looked like him.

Of course, the other party's doubts were completely dispelled when he said that he didn't like playing games.

In reality, he only looks like a "salted fish" in the other party's heart.

【Then let’s talk about it after returning to reality. I’ll take time to visit the next door again in the next two days. 】

【OK. 】

Ian saved the owner's instructions and became quiet again.

Guanhai Cliff was not far from the homes of Gu Jiangchu and Wei Pingrong. The two small courtyards appeared in front of the path not long after. They were close together. The lights are on at the same time, because they are too synchronous to turn on the lights, and at a glance, it seems that the two families are already one.

But their respective owners didn't care about this. The only two players in this map were thinking about whether the house renovation could be successful this time and how to continue talking to their friends, while the other was thinking about him. Extraordinary bad luck.

"Just as I suggested in the morning, I'll look over the materials for you below."

"it is good."

Gu Jiangchu and Wei Pingrong, who returned to the small courtyard, quickly completed the task assignment. When Wei Pingrong turned to move the ladder and materials in the house, Gu Jiangchu hesitated for a moment, but followed. I don't know if he was really shocked. Despite the other party's "moldiness", Wei Pingrong's material handling was extremely smooth this time - from the inside of the house to the roof.

"..."

"..."

Because the materials and the roof no longer work together against Wei Pingrong, the speed of the repair task is astonishingly fast. This directly caused Wei Pingrong to lower his head and meet Gu Jiangchu who was guarding the house when he was binding the last piece of board. , the two looked at each other in blank dismay, a little unbelievable that it went so smoothly.

During the whole roof repair at night, Gu Jiangchu's role was no different from the one he played in the morning. He was still mainly on the sidelines, except for the task of manually handing materials and tools to Wei Pingrong.

Strange to say, it seems that after passing through his hands, those materials and tools became inexplicably cute.

Gu Jiangchu couldn't help but look down at his hand - there was nothing unusual about it.

【... A fairy godmother who can bring luck to friends? 】

Ian was caught off guard and opened his mouth in the spiritual field, and Gu Jiangchu was almost choked by him when he said such a sentence.

The smart assistant who read the data of "Brother's Mind" combined the current situation, carefully analyzed this metaphor, and rarely agreed with the system's point of view that had been banned once: [I think this metaphor is unexpectedly in line with the current reality. 】

【...I don't think so. 】

Gu—the fairy godmother—Jiang Chu said in the spiritual field expressionlessly.

The author has something to say: =wwww=
