In this way, Alice became a temporary resident of Tianxin Church as a housemaid. Of course, there was no salary. After all, she did not know any housework at all, but she was very motivated and could sweep the floor and clean the table. As for
It is completely fanciful to expect her to take care of Metien's daily life.
Because there was no extra room in the church, Merdine wanted Alice to live with him so that she could learn more about the other world and plot how to resist the arbitrariness of a certain resident priest.
Preserving the inheritance of Tianxin Church under the ruthless "Religious Law".
Unfortunately, Lin Ge saw through his sister's little thoughts at a glance and forcibly rejected the proposal on the grounds that it would disturb her study.
After dinner, he tidied up the utility room on the second floor, dug out an old quilt, made a simple floor bed, and then told Alice, this will be your room from now on.
Alice accepted the offer gladly and did not make any disappointing remarks about the living environment. She just asked Ringer for a small round table and placed it in the corner of the room. She placed the SLP game console and cassette box she carried with her on it with a serious look.
Then, as if he had completed some important ritual, he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and said with satisfaction: "Sure enough, it is better to have a save point in the early stage, just like returning home!"
Metien, who had been watching the whole scene, felt that the messenger sent by the goddess seemed to have something wrong with his head, and he was no longer confident in his previous ideas, but he did not say anything and retreated silently. Linge hadn't left yet, because
There are a few things he must explain clearly to Alice.
"The reason why I allowed you to stay in the church is because I will be working at St. Lowood National School in the future. Metien is at home alone and really needs someone to take care of her. But you have not shown that ability for the time being. I hope you will not let
I'm disappointed." After a pause here, Ringer lowered his voice, as if he didn't want his sister who had not gone far to hear the next words: "Responding to expectations is not for others, but for yourself. So, if you can't meet them,
My request, then I can only unfortunately fire you, Miss Alice."
"Don't worry!" The girl from another world assured him, patting her chest: "Isn't it just housework? The word failure can never be found in the dictionary of genius players!"
Where did she get her confidence?
Lin Ge didn't know clearly and didn't want to know clearly, so he nodded and said: "This is the best. Also, regarding Metien, she is not mature enough. In other words, she is too naive, so she sometimes makes impulsive decisions.
By that time, I hope you remember what you should do. If I remember correctly, you just said personally that you are already eighteen years old and can legally drink as an adult. Adults should understand 'responsibility'
Meaning, rather than accompanying children to fool around."
When he said this, his eyes were fixed in Alice's pupils, as if he didn't care about her answer, he just wanted to capture the girl's true attitude from the subtle changes in her eyes.
Alice almost didn't need to think to understand what he was referring to. The previous dispute between the brother and sister in the chapel suddenly came to mind. She hesitated and asked: "What do you think I should do? I mean, you
Are you sure Metien will listen to me?"
She doesn’t know any goddess, and she can’t possibly be the goddess’s messenger. Is she going to use this name to swindle and deceive the little girl?
"Then you come to me." Lin Ge's tone was calm but unquestionable: "In short, don't let her make her own decisions."
Alice was of course happy to have someone tell her the truth. She nodded in agreement, and at the same time apologized to Metien from the bottom of her heart: Although you trust me, the person who has the power of life and death in this family is, after all, your brother. p>
After receiving a positive answer, Ringer stopped lingering and turned around to leave. However, when he reached the door, he suddenly remembered something, stopped, and said without looking back: "One last thing: you should change your clothes."
”
Alice was slightly startled, and then realized belatedly that her daily home clothes from the 28th century Earth were obviously a bit too advanced for the British citizens of the 19th century.
"What can I do?" She depressedly grabbed her rabbit headphones and put them on her head, pretending not to hear what she just said, and then whined to defend herself: "I was playing games at home, who knew it would happen?
Time travel, if I had known earlier, I would have brought two more sets of clothes!"
But Ringer didn't hear this sophistry, because he had already left and closed the door behind him.
After Ringer left, Alice was the only one left in the narrow room. The old-fashioned kerosene lamp hanging on the wall flickered with dim firelight. Through the external fence grid, it reflected the tiny microscopic particles floating in the air.
Dust is like plankton on the bottom of the sea, drifting endlessly.
It is a place used to store sundries. Naturally, it is impossible to spend a lot of money to connect to the gas pipe, so it can only be illuminated in this way. What's more, even if the gas pipe is connected, Ringer probably will not agree to Alice's misuse.
This is out of consideration for diligence and frugality, but there are exceptions - the only person in the entire Tianxin Church who is qualified to freely use gas lights, tap water and even various precious seasonings in the kitchen is Metien.
In this regard, Alice can only lament that he is really a good brother who thinks about his sister.
Although he appears to be indifferent in some matters, such as making the decision to close the Tianxin Church despite Metien's objections, that's not his fault, right?
Alice felt that as an outsider, she couldn't comment too much, so she shook her head and shook off these thoughts. She walked to the small table in the corner of the room, sat down cross-legged without a ladylike attitude, picked up the silver-white game console, and played
I fumbled around on the back of it, found the switch, and pressed it lightly.
As a result, on the surface of the cube, the spreading dark golden lines were gradually filled up, and a faint blue glow flowed out slowly like debris among the stars, expelling the dim light of the kerosene lamp and creating a beautiful atmosphere for the walls, bedding and
Alice's face was covered with a layer of soft light like flowing water, and the whole room became dark and deep, full of mysterious atmosphere.

The technological creation from the earth in the 28th century was reactivated by the girl's hands. The dim light gathered to construct a virtual screen, with the creator's logo printed on it: a complex three-dimensional figure composed of a variety of geometric bodies, cylinders, spheres,
Prisms, cubes... overlap each other, are stacked and linked, and are changing all the time. However, no matter how they change, the flat figure reflected in the eyes of the audience is always a combination of the two letters G and I.
Such a peculiar design makes people feel that its existence goes against both science and human intuition.
Alice had no intention of paying attention to the logo. She was concentrating and even staring nervously at the bottom of the screen. There, the trajectory of the meteor dragged out a straight progress bar, running from one end of the screen to the other, and the numbers displayed on the progress bar continued.
Rise: 15%, 30%, 45%, 70%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99%... Then, the meteor got stuck here and stopped moving forward.
"That's it again!"
Alice sighed in disappointment: "Why can't I enter the game interface?"
If there is no energy, even the most basic booting cannot be done; if the network cannot be received, the progress bar will not move at all. What is the situation like being stuck at 99% like now? p>
Could it be that some accident happened while traveling through time and it was damaged?
The girl grabbed the game console and studied it over and over for a few minutes, but could not find any clues. After all, she was a genius player, not a genius scientist. In the end, she could only turn it off depressedly, then opened the cassette storage box next to it and checked inside.
Is the cassette intact?
Fortunately, there were no signs of damage on any of the eight cassettes, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.
By the way, the reason why "Alice Game" has eight cassettes in one game is because its content is too huge, so Game Instruction Company divided it into eight parts to produce, and in order to express its characteristics, the games in each cassette
The type and combat mechanism are different, which is why when it was announced, it claimed to "combine role-playing, exploration and decryption, action-adventure, racing shooting, card combat, traditional turn-based, real-time combat and other game elements."
The reason is that it has given a big job to the young people who have just started playing games in the 28th century.
What, a game is sold in eight parts? Forum players are incompetent and furious, and Locus fans express their emotional stability; what, it is not sold separately or sold separately as DLC, and there is not even a price increase? Forum players are moved to tears, and they all say that there will be no day in the future.
,From now on, there will only be one sun in my heart: GI Club.
As for whether the furious players and the tearful players are the same group of people, you don’t need to be too clear about this kind of thing.
Putting away the SLP game console and the cassette storage box, the depressed Alice leaned back and fell on the floor, muttering in her mouth: "When the GI agency promoted it, it did say that it was a steampunk world view, as well as fantasy.
And the elements of magic. I have seen some steam, but where is the magic?"
"Are Metien and Ringer mere background characters, or important NPCs in the game? If it is the latter, then their corresponding plot line should be the so-called "Religious Decree". As a player, I have to choose to help
Lin Ge closes the church, or helps Metien keep the church? Well, Lin Ge doesn’t seem to need help. It’s the same with or without me, so he must help Metien.”
"But what method should be used? Do you really want to cheat in the name of a goddess? In a fantasy world, the consequences of deceiving the gods are usually very tragic, right?"
"Ahhh, damn it, why don't you let me clear the game and then travel back in time? Obviously in other similar novels, the protagonists know the plot!"
More importantly.
"I really want to play games!"
As a girl who is severely addicted to the Internet, she has not touched a game for a whole day.
It’s worse than being called a Blizzard fan.
"Forget it, I don't care!"
She suddenly buried her head in the quilt, regardless of whether the earphones fell off, and muttered with some abandonment: "Go to sleep first, we have to work tomorrow."
The current Alice is not a genius player in the earth world.
Just an ordinary housemaid.
A few minutes later, even and gentle breathing came from the room, as well as occasional sleep talking. A few minutes later, the door was pushed open, and someone walked in. Without even looking at the messy sleeping Alice, he walked over.
Put out the kerosene lamp on the wall.
"I knew she would forget to turn off the lights." The visitor lowered his voice and whispered to himself: "It is neither frugal nor safe."
She still has a long way to go to become a qualified maid.
The door was closed again, and the room was completely plunged into darkness and silence.
