Chapter 2

Host, wear, and soul wear.

Xie Yishu thought of several novels and movies he had seen in Gu Lanxing, and he hesitated: “…system?”

The voice in my mind choked with a sob: “Yes.”

Xie Yishu greeted it tentatively: “Hello?”

He had no idea which switch he had activated with this words. The system that claimed to be 001 feel stiff and he cried out with a “waaa”.

The cry echoed in his mind.

Xie Yishu felt like he was locked in a small room with stereo surround speakers on all sides, listening to the same audio in a loop. He have a headache.

But compared with the headache, Xie Yishu was more relieved.

He always worried that he would go to another time and space again in the next second. Now that there is an additional system, many questions in the past should be given a reasonable explanation.

For example, why did he transmigrate to another world five years ago.

And why did he travel back now.

The time displayed on the terminal is six o’clock in the evening, it’s the rush hour in the district.

When cars passed by on the street, Xie Yishu walked to a bench on the side of the road and sat. It appears to be waiting for someone, but it is really waiting for the little guy in his head to calm down.

After a quarter of an hour, the crying gradually stopped.

The previous electronic tone was heard again, this time accompanied by a small cry: “Hello, my name is Internship System 001. This is the first time we meet, please take care of me.”

“You must have a lot of questions now, and 001 will answer them for you. But I may not be able to answer some of them, because, because…” 001 choked up as he said, “Because 001 also has a lot of questions that I can’t understand.”

Xie Yishu directly asked what he cared about most: “How long can I stay here?”

There was an awkward silence. It took a while before the electronic sound of 001 sounded.

Its voice is a little low, and it looks a little sad: “001 doesn’t know.”

Xie Yishu sank, and slowly asked the second question: “Five years ago, why did I suddenly go to another world?”

001’s voice is even smaller: “001 doesn’t know.”

Xie Yishu: “…”

Xie Yishu: “Then do you know why I suddenly transmigrated here?”

“This 001 knows!” The little electronic sound sounded a bit of joy, like a child who finally got a chance, wanting to perform well in front of adults, “001 brought the host.”

“The higher up assigned us a task for the internship system, requiring each of us to bind to a host to serve as a cultural dissemination ambassador, spreading one world’s cultural civilization to another world.”

“The greater the spread, the better the outcome.”

“At the end of one year, as long as the comprehensive score is rated as c or higher, the system can be upgraded from an internship system to a formal system. The host can also be granted a wish.”

“The task drawn by 001 is’World 21 → World 79′, which is to bring the civilization of Gulanxing here.”

“According to 001’s investigation, the host is an orphan, has almost no nostalgia for Gulanxing, you has taken history in the university, and has an unfulfilled wish in your heart… is the most suitable candidate for the host of 001.”

“So 001 binds you and brings you into this world.”

Speaking of this, 001’s voice became quieter again: “But 001’s investigation does not seem to be comprehensive…”

It is just an internship system, and there are many omissions in the program algorithm.

The startup speed is very slow, and he just missed the time for the host to reissue the terminal.

It’s not very comprehensive.

Xie Yishu didn’t know how to speak.

He did choose history at university, but what he studied was the history of the 36th district of Atlantis in this world.

There was indeed a wish that was difficult to achieve in his heart, but he realized this wish just over an hour ago.

He returned to his homeland, back to the familiar world.

Xie Yishu thought for a while and suggested: “If you unbind…”

001 sniffed, feeling a little sad: “Can’t unbind it.”

Host selection is also an assessment. Once bound, it cannot be unbound before the expiration date.

Xie Yishu: “So is there anything I can help?”

He is actually very grateful to 001. If he is not bound by it, he may never come back.

001 thinks of the experience taught to it by the seniors of the system: “Host, can you cook ancient blue star food?”

Its should be optimistic.

After all, the host has lived in Gulanxing for five years, and must have learned a lot of Gulanxing cuisine. By using cooking, they can conquer the stomach of the people in the planet, thus its easier to get the SSS grades.

But the host’s words severely hit its self-confidence.

Xie Yishu bite the bullet: “Does instant noodles count? I can make instant noodles.”

“Host, have you learned martial arts at Gulanxing? We can promote ancient martial arts and combine ancient martial arts with the mechas of this world.”

Ancient martial arts?

(t/n: it says Furutake, idk what it is, so just use ancient)

Xie Yishu was a little hard to say: “Does military physical boxing count? I helped a few college students from the ancient blue star perform military training and learned military physical boxing.”

After some conversation, 001 was desperate.

Xie Yishu was silent for a while, and comforted: “The mission time limit is one year. This is only the first day. I can’t think of something that can be use for a while, maybe we can think about it again in a few days.”

Gu Lanxing’s technology is far behind that of Atlantis. Even after living there for five years, Xie Yishu still has not been able to get used to the days without terminals, optical brains, and bionic services.

His life at Gu Lanxing was also very monotonous. He was twenty years old, and he looked about the same as Gu Lanxing’s college students. Without Gu Lanxing’s household registration and certificates, he can only make a living as substitutes teacher that teach electricity, mechanics, applied chemistry… from early morning till night.

And the lessons he had in the Gulanxing could not be use here.

Those courses are very simple, in Xie Yishu’s memory, which is the content that was taught in the middle school in this planet.

001 also knew that he could not be too rushed, so he accepted Xie Yishu’s comfort: “Yeah.”

It still felt a little desperate.

It still want to cry.

Xie Yishu listened to a small sob in his mind, sighed, picked up the backpack on the side, got up and walked towards the pedestrian street not far away.

It’s getting late, he has to buy the light brain.

–

The longer they get along, the more Xie Yishu feels that this internship system called 001 has a child’s temperament.

When encountering frustration, he will cry quietly, and when encountering new and novel things, he will quickly be distracted.

“Host, is this the pedestrian street in this world?”

“Host, are you here to buy Light Brain?”

“Host, there is a light brain experience store there, why not go there for a look?”

Xie Yishu turned into a less prosperous alley with the bag on his back and explained to 001: “The optical brains in the experience store are all new models, and the balance in my account…not enough.”

The money he saved from working in college was taken by him to buy a silver ring. He originally wanted to use that silver ring to propose to Gu Yan on the day of graduation…

Xie Yishu gathered his memories and continued: “There is a second-hand optical brain shop in this alley. The optical brain used in my university is also bought there. Although the style is old, the quality is also very good. If you are lucky, the shop should still be open.”

They are lucky, the shop is indeed still open.

001 saw that the host buy a second-hand optical brain for a fraction of the price of the new machine in the experience store, and then received a second-hand communication card for free. The admiration for the host was like a tide: “Wow!”

It suddenly felt that the program had bind Xie Yishu as the most suitable host, probably not just because of the incomplete investigation.

He can live in an unfamiliar world for five years without outside help. Even when he comes back, he can return immediately and arrange a new life in an orderly manner.

Its host adaptability is very strong, and it is more stable and reliable than its prediction.

With the host, maybe it can really think of a way to complete the task.

It just takes some time.

001 had a glimmer of hope in her heart, and it was a little shy and confessed to her host in a low voice: “Host, you are amazing!”

Xie Yishu: “Hmm.”

001 perceives the host’s perfunctory and nervousness.

It is just an internship system, there is no way to directly obtain the host’s ideas, only guesses based on the host’s actions.

001 thought for a while and asked, “Host, who are you going to call?”

Xie Yishu pressed the finger of the number for a while, and it took a while to enter the last few digits: “Um.”

Call Gu Yan.

He really wanted to hear Gu Yan’s voice.

He thought about it for five years.
