Xing Mu woke up with a sense of suffocation. He seemed to be able to clearly feel the pain of the sharp blade piercing his chest. He had died so many times in the mission world. What was going on?

The lid of the nutrition compartment was lifted, and the cold white light hurt his eyes, and only then did he suddenly realize——

Yes, I failed the last mission, and now I should have returned to the original world.

"Mr. Xingmu, hello." The staff in white greeted him enthusiastically while typing on the keyboard, and then said to himself, "It's still the same as before, continue to the next world?"

"No, no need." Xing Mu shook his head, put his slender fingers on the wall of the warehouse, stood up with his body supported, "I want to take a vacation."

"On vacation?" The employee's sweet smile froze on his face, and his brows were tightly frowned, "But there are still many world quests waiting for you to complete."

"I should have a lot of vacations, right?" Xing Mu looked at him expressionlessly, and said in a cold voice.

"Ah, yes, yes! After all, you don't take vacations every year." The employee quickly returned to the state just now, and continued to look at the electronic screen with blank eyes, "So how many days do you want to take? One day? Or three sky?"

"...Let's come for two months first." Xing Mu shook his head and said while changing clothes.

"Eh—?" The staff couldn't hold back this time. God knows that he has never seen Xingmu take a vacation in the three years he has worked here, and this time it is still so long.

Thinking of this, the staff's expression became serious, "Did you encounter any problems in the small world? If so, remember to report it."

"Don't worry, I won't make such a mistake." After hanging the changed clothes on the hanger, Xing Mu left the room without looking back.

He knew what the staff was worried about. After all, many staff members of the Space-Time Administration could not help but be emotionally unwilling to come out in the small world, resulting in the failure of the mission.

But he knows very well that he has been working hard to play the role well, so... such a thing will never happen.

Thinking of this, Xing Mu suddenly became annoyed, and habitually fumbled in his pocket, and sure enough, he found a hard cardboard box containing cigarettes.

He had no habit of smoking before.

Xing Mu walked into the toilet, looked at the strange face in the mirror, and gently exhaled the smoke.

It seems that a certain world once played a role of a heavy smoker. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a pack a day. He found that this kind of thing can indeed temporarily adjust his mentality, so he kept it.

The long black hair hung down slightly, blocking the boy's soft side face, and only the smoke could be seen gently rising.

When Chris came in, he happened to see this scene. He smiled and hugged Xingmu's shoulder familiarly, "I knew you must be smoking here, so why did you take such a long vacation?"

This is a member of the technical maintenance department, and the two became familiar with each other because of the Xingmu system.

After all, the system with a low version can't run in the small world at all, and in the end, it can only rely on this person to catch some bugs, and he has become one of Xingmu's few friends after coming and going.

The young man lazily lifted his eyelids and glanced at him, then continued to mutter, "I want to rest."

"...That doesn't seem like a reason you would use at all." Chris scratched his hair and said with some dissatisfaction.

"What else? Have I made enough money?" Xing Mu raised her brows and asked him back.

"...I've said many times not to look at me like that, I'm a serious heterosexual." Chris suddenly covered his eyes exaggeratedly, and took a step back to distance the two of them.

Although Xing Mu is always busy with work, he is the number one employee of the Space-Time Management Bureau, and his profile photo has been posted on the official website for publicity.In this big world ruled by machines, there are surprisingly few oriental people, so he naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Of course, in addition to this, there is also the handsome appearance of the young man and the icy temperament full of contrasts.

And Chris obviously likes one of the Orientals like Xingmu, which is why he is willing to help Xingmu.

Xing Mu was a little speechless, flicked the cigarette ash skillfully and then said disgustedly, "What's the matter?"

"Ah, yes, I almost forgot." Chris took out his computer and turned the screen to Xingmu. He was dizzy seeing the bunch of green codes, and then he heard Chris continue to say, "The main system has been upgraded recently, fix it. There are a lot of bugs, I don’t know if your system can still be used, so I got stuck with a new bug at the speed of light.”

"The main system has been upgraded?" Xing Mu frowned. It stands to reason that every employee should be notified of this kind of thing, but he never received the news.

"Yes, yes." Chris nodded, and pushed his computer a little further, trying to get a compliment from Xingmu, "So I typed the code overnight."

"Thank you." The young man was thoughtful, and finally smiled at him with his lips pursed, then extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can and walked out, "Next time I will treat you to dinner."

"Hey, hey! Don't leave in such a hurry, it's rare that you are willing to take a vacation, do you want to go out and play together? I invite you!" Chris cried pitifully from behind.

It's a pity that Xing Mu, who was full of worries, didn't hear him at all.

-

Although already a well-known employee of the Space-Time Administration, Kawakami Xingmu has always been a frugal person, and still lives in a tube building that is about to be eliminated, with a group of uncles and aunts.

"Xingmu, it's been a long time since you came back!" The uncle who was playing chess together looked at him in surprise, and then shouted, "Do you want to play a game?"

"No, I want to go back and rest for a while." Xing Mu's voice softened unconsciously.

"Tired?" The uncle sighed, and said with some regret, "It's time to take a good rest, go back quickly, I will continue to wait here."

"...Why don't you ask the housekeeping robot to accompany you?" Xing Mu hesitated for a while, but still asked out his doubts.

"Well, when people get older, it's easy to think too much." The uncle shook his head and said helplessly, holding the chess piece in his palm and playing with it, "Although the robot is really easy to use, I always feel that something is missing."

"That's it." Xing Mu nodded. He didn't have a robot at home, but after all, he had been with the system for so long, and his thinking was unconsciously led astray.

After saying goodbye to the uncle and going home, the first thing Xing Mu did was to lie down on the not-so-soft discounted bed and fall asleep tiredly.

He is really tired, thinking about how to complete the task and not ooc every day, his days are so pitiful.

This sleep was very restless, many people appeared in the dream, but they just glanced at them briefly, before Xing Mu had time to go up and talk, they disappeared.

Then there are all kinds of ways to die, all of which he has experienced in the small world, so real and terrifying.In the end, the sharp blade of Shangxianyi pierced his body again.

Then he woke up, it was pitch black outside, he looked at the time, it was three o'clock in the morning.

With a terrible headache, Xing Mu took a deep breath, lit a cigarette again and walked to the balcony. The cool night breeze blowing slowly finally suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

After smoking a cigarette, Xingmu went into the room to take a shower, and then walked towards the Space-Time Management Bureau.

Because of the special nature of the job, there are always people here 24 hours a day. The guard greeted him warmly when he saw him, "Isn't Xingmu on vacation? Why are you back?"

It hasn't been long, but everyone knows about his vacation.

"I forgot to bring something." Xing Mu said with downcast eyes.

When he entered the building, he didn't go directly to the space-time management department, but went straight to the technical maintenance department on the top floor.

"Xingmu, why are you here?" As expected, Chris, a programmer, was still working overtime. He was looking at the computer with dark circles and a tired face. After seeing the boy, he showed a surprised and happy expression.

"I want to see my system."

Xingmu handed Chris the dessert and coffee he packed in the future, and then went straight to the point.

"Eh? Didn't you just come out? Why do you want to meet?" Chris asked with some doubts, but he still helped Xingmu get out of the system.

But before starting, Xingmu stopped him again

"The bug you mentioned earlier...is it all right?"

"Don't worry." Chris gave him a thumbs up, smiling confidently.

"Then I will trouble you." Xing Mu heaved a sigh of relief, and motioned him to click on it.

Woohoo, why did the host log out all of a sudden! !The moment the button was pressed, the familiar electronic sound rang out in the room, and the system said aggrievedly, I thought you would continue to do the task.

The current system is the same as the previous world, without any violation.

This also confirmed Xing Mu's conjecture that the sudden strangeness of the system had something to do with the Administration.

But what exactly are they trying to do?

Xing Mu frowned, and asked, "Do you still have any impression of the last world?"

The memory of the last world is vague, only remembering that the last mission of the host failed.The system answered honestly. After speaking, he was afraid that Xingmu would be sad, so he hurriedly comforted him, but it's okay, it's okay to fail once, anyway, the host only failed once.

What Xing Mu lost was not the failure of the mission, but that he didn't protect his young brother well even at the last moment.

But this is already a thing of the past, he is not from that world after all, if he keeps thinking about it, it will only affect himself now.The only thing he needs to do right now is to figure out why this is happening.

And...whether you want to stay in the Space-Time Administration or not.

Although he is still a long way from his ultimate goal of earning 100 billion yuan, it is no problem to support himself with his savings after working for so long.In addition, he is really tired, so if possible, he hopes that he can live on his own identity in the future.

First of all, you must first contact the main system.
