Chapter 233 The Real World+
Liu Yuxi woke up in bed and watched the TV series still playing on the projector. She didn't get up, but silently called out in her heart, "6! Little 6!"
"I'm here!" the system replied.
"You've traveled through so many worlds with me, how come you're still like an initial system, completely lacking in humanity!" Liu Yuxi was curious, how come Xiao Liu still speaks and acts so rigidly after traveling through so many worlds with her?
"Because Xiao 6 is the system. All my programs are pre-programmed. What kind of 'humanity' do you want me to have?" the system asked seriously.
"Alright, never mind. Tell me, can we stop going to these low-level martial arts worlds? Can we go to some higher-level worlds, like interstellar worlds or cultivation worlds?"
Liu Yuxi felt that her current life was too boring. As a person who was rich and had plenty of free time but no ideals, she had experienced many different lives in the world she had traveled through. In reality, she was just "waiting to die" every day!
Now, she's even losing interest in time travel. Before, when the system said she'd only be able to travel to low-level martial arts worlds, she was grateful for her safety. Now, she just finds it a bit boring and always wants to find some fun!
Unfortunately, Xiao Liu immediately dashed her hopes: "Host, we have no way to travel to those worlds. I set that up when we left the factory."
The interstellar era that I can travel to is just a bit more technologically advanced; there are no supernatural abilities or mental powers involved. As for the cultivation world, don't even think about it.
Once in these worlds, the host's safety is completely out of control, and there is a high possibility that the host will die as soon as they enter the world, which would only be a waste of system energy.
My function is to let the host live a life of leisure and comfort, not to make the host seek death! Therefore, it's impossible for us to travel to those worlds.
Well, that's a very good explanation! "But what am I going to do when I'm so bored? Do you have any suggestions?" Liu Yuxi had nothing to do, so she just chatted with the system.
"Host, you actually have many choices. Look, you've already transmigrated into a man and a widow. If you can accept that, I can find many parallel worlds like this. You can also travel to different dynasties and alternate histories. Our world is rich in resources!"
Xiao 6 is a competent salesman, but unfortunately its host's mood is currently low: "Okay, I understand. Let's wait a bit. I need to adjust my mood for a few days! I think I've been a bit depressed lately!" Liu Yuxi genuinely felt that she had been acting very abnormally lately. Maybe she should find another world to go crazy in?
That's what she thought, but it was time to get up. If she stayed in bed any longer, her mother would be knocking on the door.
After washing up, she came to the living room, where her mother had already prepared breakfast. Liu Yuxi ladled out some rice and sat at the dining table, drinking her porridge while pawing at Wangcai under the table with her foot.
"How old are you? Can't you eat properly?" Well, she'd gotten her mother's ire again. "Fine! Why not!" She straightened her posture, ate her egg pancake, and finished her porridge in a few bites. After washing the dishes, she went back to her room to adapt her novel. She hadn't written any drafts for the last chapter in days, and if she didn't finish it soon, she'd almost forgotten the plot.
As she buried herself in writing, Liu Yuxi's mood gradually returned to normal; she realized she was just bored.
After dinner, she changed her clothes and prepared to go to the "Xin Di Yi Ge" bar near her home to sit down, listen to some music, and relax. Of course, she couldn't tell her mother this, so she just said she was going out with friends.
The bar was very close to her home and was decorated quite elegantly. There were six booths on the first floor and private rooms on the second floor. Only the proprietress and her sister were busy working there. Liu Yuxi had been there twice and always sat in the booth furthest inside next to the live singer. If she wanted to drink, she would order half a dozen Budweisers; if she didn't want to drink, she would order a bucket of Coke. She could stay until 11 or 12 o'clock before going home.
The resident singer there is named Pengpeng. He loves to sing Zhao Lei's songs, which Liu Yuxi also likes very much. So sometimes when she has nothing to do, she will come here to sit for a while.
Once inside the bar, she sat in her usual spot, ordered a bucket of Coke, and started scrolling through her phone. Singers usually start performing around 10 PM when the bar is almost full, so she spent the time before that scrolling through her phone in the corner, clearing her mind.
The proprietress's younger sister, Xiao Lu, gave her a rose when she delivered the snacks. The proprietress was a little surprised: "What day is it today?" "It's Valentine's Day!" Xiao Lu was even more surprised, her eyes seeming to ask, "Where are you from?"
Well, what a mess these days. She smiled and thanked Xiao Lu, then sat there staring blankly at the roses. It's been too long since she's been in a relationship! She guessed that everyone at the bar tonight would be couples.
Sure enough, the tavern started getting customers around 9 p.m., all of them young couples, each girl holding a bouquet of flowers. She was the only one in the entire tavern, all alone. Liu Yuxi could only sigh: It's so good to be young!
She couldn't stay in the pub any longer; it wasn't very harmful, but it was extremely insulting! Without even listening to any songs, she rode her electric scooter home. Of course, she didn't take the roses with her; she'd never really liked red flowers.
When I got home, my mom was still watching TV in the living room. She was surprised to see me come back: "Why are you back so early?"
"What are you saying? You'll come back as soon as you've had your fun!" Liu Yuxi was puzzled as to why her mother was speaking in that tone.
"Weren't you going out to celebrate the holiday with someone?" her mother asked.
"Pfft!" Liu Yuxi felt like she'd been stabbed again. Even her mother knew it was Valentine's Day? She rolled her eyes. "What holiday? That's a foreigner's holiday. What's so great about it!"
Her mother said to her impatiently, "If no one's going to be with you, just say so! Why are you being so stubborn? Seriously, are you never planning on getting married in this lifetime?"
"No way. I'm already this age, what kind of person can I find? What's the point of getting married!" Liu Yuxi replied irritably.
"So you're not planning to have children either?" her mother asked again.
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll tell you when I've figured it out!" Liu Yuxi said, sounding a little annoyed.
"Wait until you've thought it through? By the time you've thought it through, you might not even be able to have children anymore. You won't be able to have them even if you want to!" Her mother was getting a little angry.
"Alright, alright, I understand. I'll seriously consider it later. I'll tell you when I want to have the baby. I'm going back to my room to sleep!" Liu Yuxi didn't want to continue talking to her mother, so she could only escape back to her room first.
I went back to my room, washed up, and lay down on the bed, but couldn't fall asleep. "Little Liu! Do you think the caregivers will beat me if I live in a nursing home without any kids?"
"Host, even if you have children, some elderly people living in nursing homes will still be beaten."
"What can I do? I wonder if the country will be able to develop to the point where robots can replace caregivers when I get old, so at least I won't be abused!" Liu Yuxi lamented.
"Host, if all else fails, just give the data in your space to the government when you get old. The government will then take care of your retirement! You won't have to worry about that anymore!" Little 6 suggested.
"Haha, you're right! When I feel like I can't take care of myself, I'll hand over the data from the time of the natural disaster to the country! Little Liu, you're so smart!" Liu Yuxi laughed. Why have a child? What if you have an unfilial one that will only cause you trouble? It's safer to rely on the country, Daddy!
