A Race to (Be) The Top

Ling Xiaolu tried his best to find clues from Ji Meng's paintings, but his paintings were too abstract, and he really couldn't see whether the people on them had anything to do with him.

But thinking about it in reverse, Lei Lulu's "original painting" and Lei Lulu are two very different creatures...

"Sister, do you think the person in the painting is similar to me?"

Ji Qing looked at the painting and then at him: "They are all human beings."

"..." Ling Xiaolu blinked, "Is it possible that after the artist made the previous ones, he also made the last one?"

"I haven't thought about it. Your idea is very creative."

Ling Xiaolu thought to himself, I'm afraid it's not me who is creative.

Ji Meng didn't see anyone around, so he went to the backyard to look for him, and saw Ling Xiaolu with his sister.

"What are you doing here?..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the familiar stick figure in the holographic album.

"This, this is... Sis, why do you have this? Why do you want to show him!"

Ji Meng hastily canceled it with his hands, but Ji Qing threw out the photo album. No matter how he clicked, his hand could only pass through the picture in vain.

In the end, he simply stood between the photo album and Ling Xiaolu, persistently blocking the other party's sight with his body.

"Sister, you are closing soon!"

"Why are you ashamed to show it to others? Besides, Xiaolubi has already finished watching it."

"...!!!"

What kind of public execution is this? Does the majestic prince Ji still want to be a man? !

"Okay, okay, don't bother you two."

Ji Qing closed the photo album, and walked away gracefully, leaving Ji Meng with awkward hands who didn't know where to put them.

What if the opponent is AI? Do humans lose dignity in front of AI?

"Th, those were all drawn for fun when I was young... This paragraph is not important, please delete it from your memory!"

"It's okay," Ling Xiaolu recalled what Ji Qing said, "Did you get the inspiration from Qiu Kabi's pet world? I also had one when I was a child."

Qiukabi is an AI pet brand that is popular all over the world. Its promotional slogan is, "Every child aged 3-14 has a Qiukabi AI pet."

"Really?" Ji Meng's attention was diverted, "Which one do you raise?"

"Pokamon."

"I have it too! Pokamon's skill halo is very powerful, only Galo Mermaid Tian can defeat it!"

When Ji Meng talked about this topic, he was full of energy and radiant.

"The bubbles of the Galo Mermaid can prevent Pokamon from releasing skills for three rounds!"

"But the Galo Mermaid is a limited edition, very expensive, and not many people have it."

"I have! I have nine limited-edition pets, especially Huidudu, whose ultimate move after three stages of evolution can be used in seconds..."

He stopped suddenly, realizing that what he was talking about was naive. Qiu Kabi was the darling of the elementary school campus, but now he is a prospective college student.

Ling Xiaolu witnessed with his own eyes that the light in his eyes lit up, but it dimmed again in an instant.It's like opening a treasure chest that stores memories, only to reveal a little light and then can't wait to close it.

He owned an AI pet when he was about seven or eight years old. At that time, he talked about this topic the most with his classmates every day, and the most he played was pet battles.

Children of their age spent most of their childhood with Qiukabi. Even if they skipped breakfast, they still had to save enough pocket money to buy a basic pet, otherwise they would have nothing to talk about with their peers.

At that time, if anyone owned a limited edition, he would definitely be a star on campus, and his family would be trampled by his friends.

Ji Meng has all the rare pets, but he doesn't even have a partner to discuss with him. He has held back these words for many years, and finally someone can say them, but he realizes that he is no longer the age to talk about this .In Ling Xiaolu's mind, the little prince in Nuo Da's house appeared, he commanded the pets to PK each other, he was the winner, he was the loser, he was the one who watched the battle, and he was the one who applauded.

When not playing, draw pets of your own design on paper.So, what was his mood when he drew the human child?

Ji Meng has gone through an embarrassment-self-forgetfulness-again embarrassment process, he really needs to apply to the R&D department for permission to delete Ling Xiaolu's memory during this period.

There was a burst of laughter in the room. This scene was unfamiliar to him as early as two months ago, but recently, it seems to have become more and more commonplace.

"Come on, let's go in and see what they're doing." He changed the topic awkwardly, turned around and prepared to leave pretending nothing had happened, as if nothing happened just now, he didn't say those childish words like a primary school student, Ling Xiaolu didn't care Neither heard.

His arm was gently grabbed from behind, Ji Meng turned his head in confusion, and met Shang Ling Xiaolu's sincere eyes.

"Sorry, I am late."

"..."

At the end of the corridor, the white figure disappeared in a flash.

"I've been looking for you for a long time, and it turns out that you two are having a tryst here!"

Chang Huanxi's loud voice dispelled the ambiguous atmosphere without a trace.

The two separated as if electrocuted, making one wonder if Lei Lulu had done something to them.

"What rendezvous, what nonsense are you talking about?" Ji Meng never wanted to strangle Chang Huanxi to death like now.

Chang Huanxi didn't know it, and ran over shaking her belly.

"Hey, I kindly asked you to come and play. We found another game of answering questions and passing through the level. Do you want to join us? It's easy to pass the level with so many people."

"Can't you just say that you have questions that you can't answer?"

"This is family team building! Do you understand team building?" Chang Huanxi pushed Ji Meng into the room, and looked behind him while pushing, "Strange, where is Li Zheng?"

"What do you want him to do?"

"Call him too, he was over there just now, and he disappeared as soon as I came, didn't you see?"

Ling Xiaolu didn't notice at all, just now he and Ji Meng only had each other in their eyes, when did Li Zheng come?

After returning to the house, Li Zheng was not here, so Chang Huanxi didn't look for it anymore, but started the quizzing game he was talking about.

An NPC dressed as a teacher appeared on the scene: "Students, are you ready to challenge and answer the questions?"

"Get ready! Let's start!" Chang Huanxi shouted.

"Then let's start our question, there will be a prize for the correct answer! Please listen to the first question——"

NPC searches in the system question bank:

"The first question, a math question."

"There are still math problems?" Ling Xiaolu thought it would be a game-related problem.

"This Ji Meng can do it!" Chang Huanxi was very confident in his brother's ability.

"Listen to the question, one plus one equals—?"

Ling Xiaolu:?

Is this a math problem or a brain teaser?

Ji Meng: "Two."

"correct answer."

Crowd: ? ? ?

"Can this be called a question?" Ling Xiaolu was incredulous.

Chang Huanxi agreed with him: "What kind of kindergarten test bank did you Xinshan make?"

Zhenjiu yawned under the cover of the mask, feeling sleepy.

"This is only the first question, and the difficulty will gradually increase later on." Ji Qing explained.

Everyone doesn't believe it, the first question is "1+1=2", how difficult can the following questions be?

"Please listen to the second question--

"Second question, math question."

Ling Xiaolu: "Why is it a math problem again!"

"Please listen to the question. When Alpha approaches zero, what is the value obtained by integrating the square of Ax multiplied by the product of Caussein's alpha and Ax?"

Ling Xiaolu: ...Day!

Ji Meng: "Eight thirds."

"correct answer.

Audience:? ? ? ? ?

Ling Xiaolu: "Do you know the answer?"

Ji Meng: "I don't know."

"You cheated?"

"Is there a need to cheat?"

"How did you figure it out?"

"According to the word."

"..."

"Please listen to the third question—"

Chang Huanxi: "Can I do the math problem?"

"The third question is a math question."

"Love you!"

"Please listen to the question, 980 four times 660 eight equals—?"

Audience:? ? ? ? ?

Zero: "666, 589, 312."

"correct answer."

Audience:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Chang Huanxi: "Don't tell me you're also calculating by mouth."

"mental arithmetic."

Chang Huanxi: "..."

There are some perverts in this family, can you still bring your mortal friends to play together!

Chang Huanxi took out her staff and said, "Believe it or not, I'll kill you with a meteor."

Zhenjiu rested her chin lazily: "Are there any practical questions? Here are two."

NPC: "..." Being a question maker is stressful!

"Please listen to the fourth question--

"The fourth question, the history question."

Chang Huanxi put down her weapon tentatively in satisfaction.

"Please listen to the question, which year did our country pass the same-sex marriage law?"

Finally, there was a question that Ling Xiaolu knew the answer to.

"2333 AD!"

"correct answer."

"I know this too." Chu Ya didn't snatch him, and missed the reward.

"I'll answer the next history question for you." Ling Xiaolu played in a gentlemanly manner.

The second history question appeared soon——

"Please recite the entire content of the socialist core values ​​proposed by the 2012th National Congress of the Communist Party of China in [-]."

"No way!" The room wailed, "Who can memorize this?"

"It's 2415, can there be some problems to keep pace with the times!"

Chu Ya: "I'll give up on this topic, Xiaolubi is better for you."

Ji Meng was already ready to order a single jumping off prop in the shopping mall, only to hear Ling Xiaolu clear his throat and read out clearly.

"Prosperity, democracy, civilization, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, and friendliness."

"correct answer."

Everyone in Lutou was dumbfounded.

"Patriarch, are you a monster? The kind that has lived for 500 years." 411 was in admiration.

"Hey, I'm the history class representative."

"..." Ji Meng closed the mall silently. He should have thought that Ling Xiaolu might have his own information database, and it might take no more than a second to retrieve these old materials.

As one of the only two people who knew Ling Xiaolu's "true identity", Chang Huanxi suddenly realized: "Oh, no wonder—"

Ji Meng glared at him, Chang Huanxi obediently swallowed what he wanted to say.

"History class represents... cheating!" He gave a thumbs up instead.

"Hey, wait, I'll answer the phone."

Chang Huanxi answered the phone, her smile gradually disappearing.

"It's bad, it's bad, I forgot to arrange dinner at home tonight, I'm late, I'm late."

Ji Meng could be considered to have found a chance to retaliate: "Is it a blind date?"

"Missing your sister! It's just that the two families have a meal together and get to know each other."

Zero: "Blind date?"

He began to search the information database for the meaning of these two words.

"Don't listen to his nonsense!" Chang Huanxi denied angrily, "How old am I, why are we dating? It's just two business partners meeting for dinner, and by the way let the juniors get to know each other, but the opposite happens to be a daughter!"

Zero found out the meaning of the blind date, with a puzzled expression: "Aren't we already married?"

"...It's a bond! Besides, I'm not going on a blind date at all!"

Chang Huanxi glared at Ji Meng fiercely, blaming this guy for digging a hole for himself to jump in!

Ji Meng looked away deliberately, who made Chang Huanxi insist that he wanted to confess his love.

Zero still didn't understand: "On the day the contract was formed, you said it yourself. In your game, getting married should be a grand occasion."

"I..." Chang Huanxi seemed to have said that, but it was an analogy, "Forget it, it's too complicated, I'll explain it to you when I come back."

zero:"……"

"I'm late, I'm going offline first, you guys keep playing."

Chang Huanxi chose to go offline, but found that the offline panel was black, and she couldn't go offline no matter what.

He tried quick actions and telekinesis again, but all had the same result.

"Strange."

Ji Meng asked, "What's the matter?"

"There is a bug, I can't log out anymore."

"Impossible, I have never encountered such a BUG."

Ji Meng has a kind of blind confidence in his own products.

"Really! If you don't believe me, look at my panel!"

"Can you call the customer service?" Ji Qing suggested.

Chang Huanxi called his exclusive customer service. He is indeed a person with unique preferences. The custom appearance of the exclusive customer service is a sea monster with a human body and fish tail, six arms, and snakes in its hair.

"Hi, what help do you need?"

"My account cannot be offline, please take a look for me, I have something urgent."

"Just a moment please."

The customer service checks Chang Huanxi's account and everything is normal, this problem can only be reported for investigation.

"Have you had any important operations within an hour? Such as valuables transactions, etc. If not, you can try to use emergency logout first. There is a small probability of data loss risk in emergency logout."

"No, then I will go offline urgently, and you can help me find out later."

"Most definitely."

Chang Huanxi began to recite "emergency offline" silently, and she was still online after reading for a long time.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Ji Meng asked.

"You think I don't want to leave? I've read it a dozen times!"

Customer service: "Why don't I force you to go offline with administrative privileges first."

"Hurry up."

Chang Huanxi's phone rang again, and he had to answer a series of "coming soon" and "already departing".

But hang up the phone, he is still online.

"How is this going?"

Never seen anything like this before, customer service looked up from the control panel apologetically:

"Sorry, your account seems to be locked and cannot be offline."

The author has something to say: *The second math problem of answering and breaking through is exclusively sponsored by the great mathematician Chu Fang.

……

Yesterday I racked my brains to write a thousand words, deleted [-], and sent the waste manuscript to everyone as a side story. Forgive the author for writing scum!

……

Ling Xiaolu wanted to find evidence that he was human, but he seemed to be running wildly on the road of not being human.

He came up with a plan: "Yes!"

Ling Xiaolu ran into the house: "Let's play with your drawing, I guess."

Chang Huanxi immediately agreed: "Okay! This is fun, who will draw it?"

"Come here, friend!" Ling Xiaolu grabbed Ji Meng's hand and pulled him out.

Ji Meng panicked: "What are you doing? I can't draw!"

"Do you still need to guess if you know how to draw? I will come up with questions!"

Ling Xiaolu sent a private chat to Ji Meng.

Ruby: Hualeilulu!

Ji Meng glanced at him, he had no choice but to draw on the paper——

Pointy ears, round, short limbs.

As expected of Ji Meng's solid foundation, he finished the painting in just a few strokes, and the similarity with the original painting that Ling Xiaolu saw before is as high as 99%.

After so many years, it is not easy to maintain a stable level.

As expected, Chang Huanxi is Ji Meng's closest friend, and he recognized him at a glance: "A turtle with long horns!"

Ji Meng: "Get lost!"

Next, there were those who guessed the bear, and those who guessed the rabbit. In the end, Ji Qing couldn't stand it anymore and gave a standard answer.

"Lei Lulu."

"My sister guessed it right!" Ling Xiaolu hurriedly announced the correct answer.

"Who can guess this?" the people below wailed.

Ling Xiaolu asked Ji Meng to draw a wind-breathing pterosaur again, this time the entire army was wiped out, and even Ji Qing was helpless.

"Can this be my fault? They can't guess it even after I draw it so much!" Ji Meng felt that the guesser was too stupid, and it had nothing to do with the painter.

"I really thought it was a lizard until I posted the answer."

"The Chinese painting circle can't tolerate you, you should leave the group."

Chang Huanxi suggested: "Brother Xiaolu, please come up with a simpler question, such as the snake of Lizheng God? Wouldn't it be easier to guess without feet?"

"The next one is guaranteed to be easy!"

Ruby: Draw me!

Ji Meng returned his expression:?

Ruby: Just draw me, let's see if they can guess it!

Ji Meng: ...

Ji Meng picked up the brush and barely drew a Ling Xiaolu.

The more Ling Xiaolu looked at it, the more frightened he became. It was exactly the same as the one Ji Qing showed him, and it was the same person!

After finishing the painting, Ji Meng was quite satisfied, but the people below were dumbfounded.

"What is this painting? People?"

"Chimpanzees?"

Li Zheng who didn't participate much in the whole process: "My apprentice."

Ling Xiaolu:? ? ?

"Master, can I ask where you got it from?"

"No, is it true?" Chang Huanxi's three views were shattered, "Unexpectedly, Ji Meng's bosom friend turned out to be the Great God of Lizheng."

Ji Meng: "Obviously I'm the one who paints so vividly!"

"I don't believe it!" Ling Xiaolu refused such a result, how could he evolve from that stick figure!

Li Zheng: "He looked at you twice when he was painting."

Chang Huanxi was relieved: "No wonder, let me just say, how could anyone guess it when it's painted like this."
