Chapter 8 Am I not the protagonist? If not, it's a masterpiece
The next day is a day off.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Yu Chen climbed out of bed early. He had to take Lingsi to the commercial street today, so he couldn't stay in bed any longer.
Yu Chen took a look at his newly bought computer and wrapped his miserable computer in a special computer bag.
Next, it will depend on the repair shop boss to save it.
After walking down the spiral staircase, Yu Chen held up a bunch of water in the automatic sink in the bathroom. The cold water soaked into every pore of his body, forcing Yu Chen to wake up.
After finishing a simple wash, Yu Chen started his job - being a househusband.
Although most of it is done by fully automatic machinery, at least he still has a reputation.
"What should I eat this morning? Sandwich with eggs or cake with milk?" Yu Chen said to himself.
He struggled to open the menu on the screen, where the remaining amounts of various foods were clearly marked.
With the promotion of this complete preservation technology, food placed in a special refrigerator will not go bad no matter how much time passes. This is also one of the conveniences of modern life.
"Brother Yuchen, are you making breakfast?" Lingsi walked into the kitchen wearing pajamas carefully selected by Yu Ling.
Lingsi's hair was tied into two small pigtails with bows on both sides, and she also exuded a light fragrance of cream. This must be a good thing caused by Yu Ling.
"Well, after we finish eating, we will go out to the Central Commercial Street."
Yu Chen patted Ling Si's head dotingly.
After Yu Chen set the breakfast content, he followed Ling Si out of the kitchen.
The chandelier in the living room on the first floor has not been turned on, making the house look a little dim.
Yu Chen walked to the closed blinds and opened them.
The warm sunshine in the morning passes through the windows and slowly enters the dark living room.
Then open the outermost casement window and let the sober air embrace you.
The air in suburban residential areas is very fresh in the morning, unlike in central areas where there is always a hazy layer of fog.
Although not as prosperous as the central area, the vegetation coverage rate in the suburbs is higher than that in the central city.
"It looks like the weather will be good today." Yu Chen half-blocked the dazzling sunlight with his right hand and looked at the blue sky.
The fully automatic breakfast cooking is completed. Today's breakfast is milk and toast.
While Yu Chen was chewing the bread carefully, he turned his attention to Ling Si.
"
Brother Yuchen, stop staring at me all the time." Lingsi bowed her head shyly, her face as red as a ripe apple.
"Sorry, I'm still a little uncomfortable with the sudden addition of a family member." Yu Chen apologized.
"Eat quickly, we have to go to the Central Commercial Street later."
Ten minutes later, Yu Chen took Lingsi, who had put on her coat and gloves, out of the house.
On a holiday, the passengers at the morning floating train station seemed very crowded. Yu Chen and Ling Si waited for ten minutes before boarding the flight to the Central Commercial Street.
The Central Commercial Street is located in the atrium of the core area. The layers are superimposed to form a huge radial concentric circle. The area is more than ten times that of Canghai College. It is a good place for the rich to spend their money and time.
Yu Chen is very familiar with the Central Commercial Street. He passes by the Central Commercial Street almost every night during school days, and occasionally hangs out and works there on holidays.
"I'll go to the place where I worked to repair computers first to see if my computer can be salvaged, and then I'll take you to play on the Central Commercial Street for a whole day." Yu Chen said to Lingsi.
"Well, let's go fix the computer first. If the computer can't be repaired, I won't be in the mood to continue shopping." Lingsi lowered her head guiltily.
"It's okay, it's just a worthless computer. I'll just buy a new one. Don't feel guilty." Yu Chen comforted Lingsi in a soft tone.
In order to make Lingsi no longer sad, Yuchen even bought a colorful marshmallow for Lingsi to hold in her mouth.
The area of the Central Commercial Street was larger than Yu Chen imagined, and Yu Chen walked for a long time without even reaching the repair shop.
Are the places you usually visit just the tip of the iceberg?
No, Yu Chen worked there before, so it’s definitely not a place he hasn’t arrived yet after traveling for so long.
Yu Chen felt something strange around him.
Some of the pedestrians on the street wear VR sensors.
But their expressions don't look like they are immersed in the beautiful world they define. Instead, they look like they are being manipulated by someone.
They had very strange expressions.
Yu Chen was horrified to find that Ling Si had gotten lost without even realizing it.
Although that child often goes to the street alone to find his master, but...
All in all, something is very wrong.
In the Public Security Bureau not far away, there are several CT:025 dolls for security guards that look like adult men.
Yu Chen looked around and found that no one was following him
After that, he immediately rushed into the Sheriff's Department.
"Excuse me, do you need any help?" A receptionist figure named SV02 saw Yu Chen rushing in and walked up with a smile.
"Well, there are a lot of people outside, but the people with VR empathy devices look very strange." Yu Chen explained the reason.
"Just outside?"
Several CT: 025 figures are very efficient and are ready to go.
"Then I'll trouble you." Yu Chen made way.
Central Commercial Street, somewhere.
A chaotic spherical object continued to expand, and after reaching a critical value, it split into countless small spherical objects.
Several liquid tennis balls slowly floated from mid-air...
Yu Chen followed the CT:025 figure out of the Public Security Bureau.
Suddenly, a roar like thunder came from the sky.
The moment Yu Chen looked up at the Central Commercial Street, he was stunned.
The sky turned a terrifying dark red, and a large number of net-like liquid objects appeared, carrying a spherical dark black object.
Those unknown objects fell straight from the sky, making a harsh noise the moment they hit the ground.
"Hey..."
A heavy sense of oppression surged from all around like a sea tide, and Yu Chen's head was shaken to the point of hallucinations.
However, this sonic attack was obviously more effective against humanoids. The CT:025 humanoid used by the guards instantly lost the ability to move and was frozen in place.
After those spherical objects fell down, they burst like insect eggs and hatched out into a pure black alien creature with wings that looked like a mantis.
The alien creature opened its black sickle-like hands and rushed straight over.
Yu Chen closed his eyes in despair.
But the alien creature seemed not to see Yu Chen, and rushed directly towards the guard CT:025 figure like a ghost.
The ruthless black scythe slashed at the humanoid's head at high speed like a ghost.
Just when the guard's CT:025 figure was about to be hit, a huge retro clock appeared in the air and shot out a three-dimensional hour hand mark, blocking the attack of the alien creatures.
A gorgeously dressed girl with short black hair jumped down from the air gracefully and appeared in front of Yu Chen.
"It's okay now. If you want to ask why, it's because I'm already here!"
