It wasn’t until evening that Su Zheyan came back with supplies.
Through the transparent cover of the capsule cabin, he saw the little robot doll scurrying about in the cabin.
He didn’t know what method the little robot doll used to get the tape off his body. But it couldn’t get it off completely, leaving most of it stuck on the back.
The robot runs ahead and the tape flies behind.
When passing the right shelf, the tape stuck to it. The robot, which was still running forward, fell to the ground with a slap.
He struggled hard, unable to break free no matter what, and shouted angrily.
Su Zheyan quietly stood outside and watched.
Chu Shici was in a bad mood. He wanted to break the tape, but his hands were stuck too.
While wrestling with the tape, he asked the system: ‘How long until the hero comes back, I can’t stand it anymore! ‘
The system coughed a few times and did not speak.
Chu Shici was tired from the wrestle and sat on the ground, panting.
At this moment, he heard the system’s message in his mind.
[Vigor value +1, the current male protagonist Su Zheyan’s vitality value is 6/100.]
Chu Shici was both happy and at a loss, ‘What kind of happy things did the hero encounter outside? ‘
The system seemed particularly guilty, [May-maybe he didn’t encountered it outside.]
Chu Shici didn’t understand what the system was trying to say, so he simply didn’t think about it too much.
There are many strange things in the capsule, and he plans to study them all while Su Zheyan is away.
Chu Shici got up again and continued to wrestle with the tape.
When he was completely wrestling with the tape, he heard the system beep again.
[Vigor value +1, current vitality value: 7/100.]
Chu Shici was a little happy, ‘The outside world is so interesting? Then let the hero go out more. At this rate, wouldn’t I be able to complete the task lying down? ‘
The system wiped its sweat, [I don’t think so.]
Chu Shici was stunned for a few seconds, then he came to his senses and looked up slowly.
Through the transparent cover above, one can see Su Zheyan looking at him with great interest.
He was holding an old-fashioned video camera in his hand and was watching and recording.
The moment Chu Shici looked at him, the corners of Su Zheyan’s mouth seemed to twitch slightly.
His expression changed slightly so fast, Chu Shici wasn’t sure if it was his own illusion.
Different from those mocking chuckles before, the hero seemed really amused by him just now.
Chu Shici tried to fight with the tape for a while, but Su Zheyan still looked at him indifferently.
Only the [Vigor + 1] sounded in his mind, proving that his conjecture was correct.
___
In the end, he was rescued from the tape by Su Zheyan.
Maybe it was his pitiful appearance just now, which made the hero feel pity.
Not only did Su Zheyan stop using tape to tie him up, he also put away all the things in the capsule that might hurt him.
The system was a little reconciled, [If you were to play with the tape again for a while, would you obtain a few more vitality points?]
Chu Shici shook his head, “It’s like telling a funny joke. The same joke is funny after listening to it once, maybe you will still want to laugh after listening to it the second time, but if you listen to it too much, you will develop a resistance. ‘
The system thought for a long time, [Why don’t I buy you a complete book of jokes, and you read it to the male lead every day? Feeling happy also increases Vitality.]
Chu Shici thought he could give it a try.
The space in the capsule cabin was too small, so Su Zheyan sat on the side of the cabin to sort out his supplies.
Chu Shici jumped up and down in the cabin, wanting to see the situation outside.
After realizing that he would definitely not be able to go up by himself, he raised his head and shouted outside: “Su Zheyan! What are you doing, take me outside!”
A hand reached in and lifted him out.
This was the first time Chu Shici had left the capsule.
He looked around curiously.
Su Zheyan put him on the ground and let him play by himself without disturbing his work.
A black-yellow mist filled the surroundings, and tiny particles could be seen floating in the air.
The visibility was very low, and Chu Shici ran forward for three or four metres. When he looked back, the capsule was no longer visible. Only the silhouette of a human can be seen, sitting on the ground and sorting out supplies.
Weird sounds could be faintly heard in the thick fog, some were like the buzzing of a chainsaw, and some were like the clicking of high heels.
But no matter what kind of sound it was, it shouldn’t appear in this kind of place.
The system was trembling with fright. But Chu Shici, relying on the fact that he was not a carbon-based creature, ran towards the direction of the sound of the high-heeled shoes.
There was nothing at the source of the sound, but the sound of footsteps became more and more obvious.
As he drew closer, Chu Shici saw the shadow of a woman on the ground, it appeared to be walking towards him slowly.
There is no one, only a shadow. The voice came from the shadow.
Chu Shici gasped, and the antenna above his head was erected.
He’s a robot now, and most creatures don’t have him on their menu.
If there is no mistake, this thing is coming for Su Zheyan, a living person.
The rollers popped out of Chu Shici’s soles and he flew back quickly, rushing to Su Zheyan’s side and grabbing the corner of his clothes.
The monster behind him seemed to know that it was exposed, and its footsteps became more and more hurried.
Just as Chu Shici said that there was a monster approaching, Su Zheyan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly pulled out a dagger from his waist and stabbed it hard at the ground.
The shadows on the ground kept twitching and twisting, and the sound of high heels became sharp and piercing.
Su Zheyan stabbed several times, the shadow shattered and disappeared, and large pieces of fine sand spewed out from the ground. Then it floated into the air and merged with the fog.
Chu Shici was dumbfounded.
The system froze for a long time, [I don’t understand.]
Chu Shici didn’t understand either, he poked Su Zheyan, “What is that?”
Su Zheyan didn’t answer his question, and continued to sort out the supplies with his head down.
Chu Shici was impatient and couldn’t stand this stuffy gourd who never had the strength to talk.
He took a few deep breaths and told himself not to be angry.
The hero’s affection for him is too low now, and is also feeling down, so it’s normal to ignore him.
After calming down, Chu Shici pointed in another direction, “There is the sound of a chainsaw over there.”
Su Zheyan glanced at him, “It’s just a cleaver, you go and play. Don’t disturb me.”
Before he finished speaking, a black shadow quickly crawled out.
It is about half the length of a human, and its body is black and red. It looks like a centipede, and its body is covered with dense sharp, saw-like teeth.
As it crawled, the spikes on its body made a buzzing sound. It’s upsetting to listen to.
Chu Shici saw Su Zheyan’s eyelids twitch, the veins on his forehead were slightly raised, and his handsome face was full of irritability.
With a gloomy face, he got up and walked towards the cleaver with the machete in his hand.
Looking at the minced centipede, Chu Shici said seriously to the system: ‘I’m going to tell him a joke before going to bed at night, remember to turn on my pain shield. ‘
[I will, I will.]
___
Although he didn’t stay outside for a long time, Chu Shici had already seen the horror of the Desolate Star.
There are monsters everywhere here, with strange shapes, inexplicably giving people goosebumps.
The fine grains of sand in the air will fall to the ground every once in a while, becoming sharp objects which will cut a living person to pieces.
Su Zheyan is the only living person in this open space, and was the primary target of the unknown.
Su Zheyan killed another shadow casually, and from the corner of his eye, he saw his little robot doll looking through his backpack.
The little thing found a slender iron nail from the backpack, and took it to poke at the shadow on the ground.
It can be seen that the robot doll has a bit of attack power, but the damage is very low, like a gua sha master*. After nearly a hundred pokes, the shadow was pierced. The spout of sand that burst out pushed him into the air, and the robot doll landed in fright.
*(Gua sha is a traditional Chinese healing technique where a special jade or quartz tool with round, smooth edges is scraped across the skin. It is meant to expand or burst blood vessels, and, depending on how much pressure is applied, cause tiny, red spots called petechiae. Source: insider.com)
Su Zheyan rescued him. The robot doll stood in the palm of his hand, held up a nail and said to him in an energetic voice: “You have been busy all day, go to rest, and I will stand guard for you.”
Su Zheyan didn’t say anything, he looked at the robot’s smooth iron face with a disappointed expression.
But it’s not that he doesn’t want to answer this time, it’s that he didn’t know what to say.
He dug out a battery from his backpack and gave it to Chu Shici as a reward.
But the model doesn’t match, and the robot doll can’t eat it.
Chu Shici regretfully touched the vacancy in his chest, and Su Zheyan silently put away the battery.
After two hours, it was completely dark.
Desolate Star is extremely dark at night, even if you raise your fingers in front, you might not be able to see them at all.
Su Zheyan put the supplies back into the capsule, ready to go back to rest.
He looked around, wanting to bring the robot doll back in as well.
But he didn’t know where the little thing went to play, and he searched for it several times but couldn’t find it.
Chu Shici was hanging on Su Zheyan’s belt, shaking it back and forth.
He looked confused: ‘What is the male lead looking for? ‘
The system spread its hands and shrugged, [I don’t know either.]
Chu Shici hadn’t eaten all day and was very hungry.
He patted Su Zheyan’s thigh, raised his head and asked him, ‘Tell me what you are looking for, and I will help you find it together. ‘
Su Zheyan paused, looking at him with an extremely complicated expression.
The transparent hatch closed slowly, and Chu Shici asked him curiously: “Why did you come in? Don’t you want to continue looking?”
Su Zheyan: …
He didn’t want to answer.
The robot always seems to be full of vitality. Seeing that he ignored him, he ran to rummage through the pile of supplies.
He pulled out a piece of blue cloth from the supplies, raised his head and said, “Can I take this?”
Su Zheyan originally wanted to use that piece of cloth as a pillow cover, so it was considered dispensable.
He waved his hand in approval, and the robot doll hugged the cloth, dragged out a pair of scissors, and got into the bottom of the bookshelf.
When he saw the robot doll again, he wore a blue cloak.
Su Zheyan endured it for a while, but still couldn’t help asking: “What are you doing?”
The male protagonist took the initiative to talk to him, Chu Shici was very surprised, he explained: “It’s uncomfortable to run naked, I want to wear clothes.”
Su Zheyan hummed and continued to eat dinner.
Chu Shici watched him take out a can, opened it, scooped out a spoonful of white cream-like stuff, and put it into his mouth.
He leaned over and saw what was written on the bottom of the can—[Nutritional cream (coconut flavour), for adults only, suitable for all genders.]
Chu Shici’s mind was full of question marks: “You just eat this?”
Su Zheyan took out another white bottle from the supplies pile.
There is a line of words written on the bottle: [Nutrition solution (red wine flavour), suitable for alpha consumption.]
The lightning logo of the unified empire is printed on the two packaging boxes.
Su Zheyan seemed very tired. He didn’t even take off his clothes after eating in a hurry. He lay down and fell into a deep sleep without giving Chu Shici the chance to tell a joke.
The mission target had already fallen asleep so Chu Shici had no choice but to climb onto his chest, ready to get into his pocket to sleep.
He lay on his side for a while, and asked the system suspiciously: ‘Don’t you think his heart is beating too slow. ‘
[I’m not a human, so I don’t know. But he’s alive and well, there shouldn’t be a problem.]
Chu Shici listened carefully for a while, and he found that Su Zheyan’s heartbeat became slower and slower, and finally almost disappeared.
If it wasn’t for the sound of breathing in the capsule cabin, he would have thought that the hero had been poisoned to death.
As usual, the system reported the data to him, [Vigor value 8/100, please continue to make persistent efforts.]
