Chapter 135 Overtime #
Thanks to the solid theoretical foundation of Marxism, when Qi Min really became BOURGEOSIE, Anton was still able to clearly distinguish her "human nature" from her instrumental attributes. And she is indeed a tool for Brainoid Company. Once capital embarks on its regular path, even the owners of capital can only catch up with it. At this time, it is no longer the capitalists who are driving the capital, but the capital in turn. It forces the capitalists to express their will.
Before Monday's working day arrived, administrators in Beijing District had already returned to work. The suspension of maintenance of the project was interpreted as the brain-like body company testing the physical law system that will be launched in the future. Many users in the public opinion even expressed expectations for this.
However, corresponding to the launch as a temporary alternative, the unprepared physical law system quickly developed bugs. In some projects, because the originally designed gravity direction of a specific location is different from the reality, these gravity anomalies accidentally become incompatible after being covered by the physical law system, resulting in an anti-gravity situation, causing the player's own gravity to become negative when passing through these space points. The upward free "rising" body occurs due to the value.
In order to fix this bug, Qi Min worked overtime in the R&D department for three more days - the first day was spent on fixing the bug of negative gravity, and the next two days were spent working with people from the physics team to go through the project and screen it again. Many bugs have been released and resolved.
After finally finishing updating the physics law system in the early hours of Friday morning, Qi Min unplugged the interface and got up from the bed, waking up Anton who had already entered a deep sleep.
"Well... are you finally off work?" Anton rubbed his eyes and sat up, "Go to bed quickly..."
Qi Min had just come out of the brainless body where there was no night. The secretion of melatonin from the pineal gland was still suppressed. At this time, he only wanted to eat and drink water: "Sleep now? I have to eat something."
"Oh, it's almost two o'clock." Anton said with some dissatisfaction.
Only then did Qi Min realize that it was already midnight. Although the concept of time in the brain-like body was the same as in reality, facing the bright sunshine outside, working overtime obviously felt different from staying up late in reality.
"Then... forget it then." Qi Min whispered, "You go to sleep, I will go downstairs to find something to eat."
Even after hearing what she said, Anton still turned over and got out of bed: "Don't worry, don't eat blindly."
Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong often said that eating late-night snacks is harmful to sleep, but Anton knew that if Qi Min wanted to eat, she would sneak downstairs and start eating snacks such as potato chips. Eating fried or puffed snacks as soon as he came out of the brain-like body, plus drinks from the refrigerator, would be too much for his stomach even if it had an engine combustion chamber.
Anton had to go downstairs himself to fry eggs and heat milk for her, and Qi Min naturally followed him to eat. While eating, she complained about how pushy the people in the R&D department were.
Anton smiled and said: "Aren't you the boss? You are the boss and you are pushed by your employees?"
"Actually, it was all pushed by the project itself." Qi Min took a sip of warm milk and scooped a spoonful of the mushroom sauce that Anton had marinated before. "Before the project went online, people recommended the project, and after it went online, people pushed the project. The bug is there. There, do you think it’s okay if we don’t solve it?”
"Oh, it's really tiring." Anton sighed, stroking Qi Min's hair with some pity, "Working for such a long time, even in the brain-like body is not comfortable. What's more, after coming out, everything will be black and white. upside down."
"Stop talking, I really want to take a vacation." Qi Min said while chewing a fried egg, and glanced at Anton again, thinking that she should be grateful to him for being able to eat hot supper in the middle of the night, "It's hard for you to wake up and go downstairs in the middle of the night. One trip.”
Looking at it this way, her acquired empathy ability is somewhat beneficial. When most people come back after working overtime and see that their partner has fallen asleep, they will empathize with how relaxed and happy the other person was while they were working, and therefore feel unhappy. Qi Min was not directly sympathetic, but inferred from what Anton said that it was unpleasant to be woken up in the middle of the night, so he felt that he should express his gratitude.
And Anton deeply sympathized with how hard it was for Qi Min to work overtime. In comparison, he had already gone to bed, and it was nothing to get up in the middle of the night: "It's not too difficult. Don't eat what you can't eat, and go back first Go to sleep."
——
Qi Min claimed that he wanted to have a good sleep, but when he woke up the next morning, he couldn't help but reach out and plug in the corpus callosum interface. She has been working overtime for almost two weeks in a row and hasn't had much fun yet. This time she must see how her ranking in the Old City standings is.
Less than a second later, Autumn Harvest appeared in the old city. He called up the standings and found that the top three had changed. Autumn Harvest, which was originally ranked first, dropped to third place, a new name appeared in second place, and the first place The name is occupied by Echiyo.
Old City's points are cleared and recalculated once a month, and this month is not yet the middle of the month, so the total points are not that many. It is not uncommon for others to come from behind and break into the top three. However, even though the Autumn Harvest points are far higher than the second place, those who still have to score points to pass the Autumn Harvest are probably those who advertise on the black market. But why does Echiyo still need to earn points... is he free?
Qi Min jumped to the identity of the constructor, quickly checked the location of Hui Qianshi, and then retreated to Qiu Shuang to find Hui Qianshi who was having a seafood buffet on Baihua Street.
Although the brain-like body does not feel hungry, it can still eat. After all, virtual food is essentially the experience of eating food. Buying food is not to satisfy your hunger, but just to enjoy the experience of tasting delicious food. But even so, purchasing these virtual foods still costs one-third of the price of real-world food. Fortunately, since not everyone in the brain-like body has the need to eat, there is not much objection to the pricing of food.
You have to pay to enter the cafeteria, so Qiu Shuo just knocked on the glass facing Echiyo outside.
Echiyo was immersed in smashing the king crab legs, but a group of people dressed in punk clothes at the table next to him reminded him that someone was calling him outside. He looked up and saw that it was the autumn harvest. He quickly put down the king crab legs and walked out: "Hey, boss, why are you here?"
"I'm looking for you." Qiu Shuo crossed his arms and said, "Why, you are not short of money, but you still want to eat virtual king crab?"
"I haven't eaten for a long time... I feel weird." Echishi smiled sheepishly, "Boss, have you had breakfast?" He said to the waiter at the door, "Buy a coupon for my brother, okay? On my account."
"Don't be busy, don't be busy, I don't want to eat..." Qiu Shuo said quickly, making an excuse casually, "I'm allergic to seafood."
"Is there anything in the brain-like body that I'm not allergic to?" Eqianshi came up to pull the autumn harvest.
In fact, she is not allergic to seafood at all, she just doesn't trust the cooking level of the cafeteria. However, since Echishi insisted on inviting her, he just went in. Anyway, Echishi didn't lack the money.
After sitting down, Qiu Shuo tasted the sea urchin here, and then said to Echiyo: "I haven't been online for the past few days, and it seems that the standings have changed again. The second 'whirlpool of the sea' should be a point-boosting advertisement. Why do you have to surpass him?"
Originally I just thought that Echishi had nothing to do as a dead soul, but Echishi said: "I competed with him for ranking to lure him out."
