Himemoto's interpretation

There was a puddle in front of it, the width was basically the same as the walls on both sides, and the length was 1.7 meters and [-] meters long by visual inspection. There were a few rotten vegetable leaves and plastic bags floating on the water.

Xingqi was a little hesitant, thinking whether to walk around or stick to the wall to try the depth.

Generally speaking, the water in the roadway is the deepest in the middle, and the water on both sides is shallower against the walls.

But she was also worried that if she made a mistake in her judgment, it would not be good to get her clothes and shoes dirty.

The detective has a strong desire to control recently, and he takes care of the assistant's attire, and checks whether the clothes are clean when he goes back at night.If there are too many stains, the detective will throw away the dirty clothes, saying that he doesn't want to pollute the washing machine-yesterday's set, only a few spots of mud on the heel of the shoes and the bottom of the trousers, and the detective also lost the coat.

The bell rang just when Xingqi was slandering the detective for his extravagance and waste. As expected, it was the detective who called.

Xingqi stuffed the earphones into her ears.

"Have you reached [-] steps?" The detective asked straight to the point, the background sound was loud and noisy, like a large heavy metal reverberation scene, and her volume was much higher than usual.

Xingqi thought it was a mistake to answer with earphones, she replied: "Wait a minute, let me see."

Then she clicked on the speaker to play, silently took off the earphones, and entered the game interface.

"It's still 87 steps away."

A beep sounded from the phone's speaker.

Xingqi put away her phone and finally decided to jump over.She took a few steps back, bent her knees to gather strength, then sprinted to ten centimeters in front of the puddle, and jumped——

She landed firmly on the opposite side, with her heels twenty centimeters away from the puddle.

One run and one jump, there are still sixty steps away from [-] steps.

In less than a minute, the detective called again, "It's here."

Xingqi looked at the phone, no more, no less, a total of [-] steps.

The system pops up a notification: [Without accumulating steps, you can reach thousands of miles. Congratulations, you have met the redemption conditions. Click the footprint icon on the upper right to get 99 copper coins].

"arrive."

"99*4, you have to give me 396 copper coins."

Xingqi: "...I haven't bought my coir raincoat yet!"

"I'll buy something insignificant like a coir raincoat later."

Resignedly, Xingqi pulled out the friend menu and presented 396 copper coins to her friend "Li Bai".

The balance was only 14 in an instant.

Xingqi curled her lips, clicked on the new scroll that appeared on the book table, and collected the landscape paintings drawn by game characters, without any props, the mountains and water were outlined with a few lines on the scroll, and a shabby thatched cottage on the bank——Du Fu "Song of Thatched Cottage Broken by the Autumn Wind".

This is a popular mobile game on the Internet that detectives have been addicted to recently: "Jiangshan·Wanli You".

The game focuses on restoring the scenes of ancient poetry, and has opened up four main lines for players-the career line "Aspirations of Qingyun", the love line "Thousands of miles of beauty", the friendship line "Mountains and Flowing Water", and the purely free self-exploration line "Waves".

Players can participate in the experience of eighteen literary masters.Through the use of props, the game characters are inspired to write poems and Fu, and harvest the corresponding scrolls.

The detective downloaded the game to Xingqi's mobile phone, and involuntarily gave the assistant the choice of the exploration line "Liberation", while she surprised Xingqi and chose the love line "A Thousand Miles of Beauty".

Probably the name has the same pronunciation as the poet fairy in history, and the game character chosen by the detective is "Li Bai".

The lingering love between the bohemian wine fairy and Qianli Chanjuan...

Well, as long as the detective is happy.

It is said that the love line is the most difficult, and online guides say that this line requires the most number and types of props.

One of the necessary props for the love line is the concentric knot. With this, it is easier for game characters to make rare poems and scrolls related to love. (Note)

But the concentric junction needs 9999 copper plates.

Copper coins are the currency of the game. Every day you log in to the system, you will be given 1-19 copper coins. The rest of the acquisition methods can be exchanged for steps in addition to recharging—every 5000 steps can be exchanged for 99 copper coins, and friends can give each other gifts.

Counting the 396 this time, Xingqi gave the detective a total of 4950 copper coins.

A very simple math problem: She walked 25 steps in four days, about 170 kilometers.

Xingqi had to suspect that the detective's so-called exploration mission was for public benefit.

Because the detective requires the assistant to walk through every street and alley within the middle ring of the East District of Haicheng with both feet—not riding a bicycle—looking for unknown areas that are not shown in the panoramic view on the map app.

The detective explained that areas without a panoramic view are either slums or sensitive areas, and the assistant's task goal is to investigate the slums and find out those dead corners that are not monitored.

Listening to the detective's introduction to the mission, Xingqi thought to herself, leaving aside the sensitive areas, this is not the last century, how could there be slums in Haicheng.

The reality was unexpected.

Often near the bright and beautiful business circles, dilapidated old husband's houses and shacks abound.There is even an urban village less than two kilometers away from Haicheng Financial Center.

Standing in the urban village where the sewage is flowing, looking up at the Haicheng landmark tall buildings behind it that go straight into the sky, Xingqi feels very magical.

Haicheng is developing very fast. Indeed, many people have taken the high-speed train to the future, but there are still a few people who have been forgotten in place, living like ants.

Take Niujiao Lane, where Xingqi is currently located, as an example. Although it has the word "lane", it is actually a shed area with the entrance at the bridge hole, with a length of about 400 meters. Some houses are converted from containers, and some are simple board houses.

There is a newly completed business district near Niujiao Lane. There are modern office buildings with glass curtain walls and brand new apartment buildings in warm colors. People who work and live there must not have imagined that there are people crawling in shacks under their feet.

It was about the New Year's Eve, and Niujiao Alley was empty.Near the end, board houses and sheds stand on only one side, and the slow-flowing river comes into view.

There are two board houses with doors left in front. It should be at the end of the alley, and the red plastic walkway is faintly visible in the grass.

At the junction of the uneven concrete road and the red walkway, smoke came out of the last prefabricated house in Niujiao Lane.

Xingqi slowed down, and looked around the corners, eaves, and grass, looking for the existence of the monitor.

However, Oxhorn Alley, which does not exist on the map, is also unlikely to have a monitor.

To avoid omissions, Xingqi looked carefully at the intersection twice to confirm that it was not there. She wrote down "Niujiao Lane, no" in the memo, then walked quickly past the smoking house and stepped onto the sidewalk.

As prompted by the map, go 200 meters along the current road and turn left to enter the inner road of the mall.

She can take the bus back from the mall station, or explore the next unknown alley.The map shows a blank space at a distance of 1200m from her.

Just as Xing Qi walked through the tall grass, the door of the private house opened with a creak, and a thin and small figure slipped out of it.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, but not the sound of people or footsteps, Xingqi instinctively became alert, and touched the mobile phone in her trousers pocket—this was the most valuable possession in her whole body except her clothes.

The figure got into the grass, and the rustling sound was almost negligible in the air current driven by the draft.

Xingqi deliberately quickened her pace, and the path to the shopping mall was less than 100 meters ahead.

At that moment, a bioelectric induction made her put her hands in her pockets, grasping her mobile phone and transportation card.

The short figure passed her by, leaving behind a faint smell of inferior tobacco. It was a little boy with a cropped cut, wearing a blue and white sportswear.

Running to the corner, the boy looked back at Xingqi, then turned his head and spit into the grass.

Xingqi stopped.

She seemed to know the little boy's purpose and why he spit.

It's the Chinese New Year, and thieves have to earn performance.

Xingqi looked at her phone and saw that it was still early, so she went straight to the intersection and headed to the next unknown area.

She knew that the little boy was following her, and her prying eyes were fixed on the back of her neck.

After a long time, there is still a strange feeling that makes the scalp tingling. I haven't been able to find a chance to do it. The little boy seems a little irritable.

After crossing the intersection, the streets became deserted, many shops were closed, and the traffic on the road was much less than usual.

After walking for too long, Xingqi unbuttoned her windbreaker, took off her scarf and held it in her hand.

In front of a convenience store there is a big "Fu" sign posted on the door. Several aunties are gathering around to sweep the blessings, and the loudspeaker plays in a loop: "Scan to 'Jingyefu' to send a catty of eggs".

After passing by Fumin, Xingqi also took out her mobile phone to scan the blessing characters, "Detective" popped up on the screen, Xingqi put on her earphones, and the detective said concisely: "99."

Xingqi couldn't help but look down at her shoes, suspecting that the detective installed a tracker on the sole of her shoes, or—

Her eyes fell on the mobile phone. Is there a Trojan horse installed in the mobile phone?Otherwise, why would the detective call her every time he was stuck at about the same time, because he was worried that the assistant would be passive and sabotage?

"Know it."

Xingqi hung up the phone, entered the game to receive the copper coins, and presented them to "Li Bai".

"I got the professional blessing, and the boss gave me a catty egg." An aunt shouted excitedly.

Hearing the sound, Xingqi looked up, and the figure that had been following her for a long time rubbed against her at this moment, passed her and the aunt who was waiting for eggs with her mobile phone, and ran away quickly.

Seeing the figure disappearing at the corner of the street, Xingqi took out her pocket, and the little boy took away the traffic card and a small amount of change.

She sighed, plunged into the Fumin and scanned the two Harmony Fu, marking an unsatisfactory end to today's exploration mission.

There is no transportation card or change, and the map shows that it is not too far away from the studio, so Xingqi decided to walk back and exchange some copper coins for herself.

She walked half the distance slowly, and she had saved enough steps to buy a coir raincoat.

Xingqi didn't notice the time until she received the detective's call, it was 08:30 in the evening.

"The traffic card and money were stolen." Xingqi confessed honestly, "I had to walk back."

"Oh..." The detective sounded like he was in the car, and there was a slight echo, "Send me the location, and I'll pick you up."

"it is good."

Before waiting for 10 minutes, the detective's calm but not low-key off-road vehicle appeared on the sparsely trafficked road.

"You have traveled a lot."

Xingqi nodded.

"Is it less than [-] steps?"

Xingqi shook her head.

"What about fifteen thousand steps?"

"arrive."

There was a strange smile on the corner of the detective's lips: "That's a lot of copper coins."

"Maybe not as much as you think." Xingqi said guiltily.

She has already bought a coir raincoat and the necessary props for the game characters: paper, and there are only single-digit copper coins left.

The detective suddenly stopped the car and opened the door, "You can scan the bus code on your phone."

The meaning is clear: you go back by bus.

Xingqi: "..."

Xingqi obediently got out of the car.

The off-road vehicle drove away.

There were fewer buses than usual, so Xingqi waited for a while but couldn't get one, so she simply continued walking.

Half an hour later, she went to the door of the studio, presented the accumulated 99 copper coins to the detective, and then entered the hall with a guilty conscience.

The detective was lying on the sofa, keeping his eyes on the phone, "There is food in the kitchen, heat it yourself."

After dinner, Xingqi slipped quietly to the stairs, and when she was about to go upstairs, she was stopped by the detective again: "Go upstairs carefully, there are guests on the third floor."

"Hey?"

The studio has never had any overnight guests, so Xingqi thought that there were no guest rooms in this four-story building.

"Our technical foreign aid ran away from home and will live here for a while."

"runaway?"

"My partner refuses to work honestly, so it's naive to threaten others with running away from home?"

Xingqi laughed dryly twice, bent over and rubbed her sore calf muscles, and a line of bullet screen floated in her heart: Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups.

The author has something to say: part of the setting of the game is borrowed from "Frog Travel", which is the Buddhist frog from last year.

The story behind the game is this case.

In addition, technical foreign aid is next door curl [manual doge]
