I'm the king of weirdness

Chapter 25 The New "Companion"

"Ah, auntie... discounted eggs, do you have any more eggs?"

After Xu Ruyi came out of the game cabin, she rushed out of the house and rushed to the supermarket outside the community, panting for breath at the moment.

No matter how powerful he is in the game, he is just an ordinary person in reality.

Games and reality are different.

"No... Huhu, no more."

But what Xu Ruyi didn't expect was that the middle-aged female clerk standing behind the counter in the supermarket was panting harder than him, as if she had gone through a [-]-meter sprint, she was supporting her waist to breathe smoothly, and there were big beads of sweat Run down the cheeks.

Both of them bent over and looked at each other, big eyes to small eyes.

"Auntie, are you okay?"

"It's okay, but my body is a little weak and I sweat easily."

The middle-aged female clerk wiped the sweat from her forehead and replied with dodgy eyes.

She was also helpless, who would have thought that "Zero Zero Zero" would quit the game at this point in time?
Other colleagues can slowly return to their posts and become "Zero Zero Zero"'s neighbors, colleagues, passers-by A, B, C, D... But she can't, because this time is the time for "Zero Zero Zero" to buy discounted eggs, and she is responsible for for this task.

So the middle-aged female clerk rushed all the way from the bureau, and she didn't have time to change her clothes, so she could only put an apron on the uniform of the Alien Bureau to block it.

Fortunately, Xu Ruyi's attention was not on her clothes. When he heard that the discounted eggs were sold out, he couldn't hide his disappointment: "Are they sold out... Sure enough, I spent too much time in the game."

In the post-catastrophe world, a large amount of land has been swallowed up by fog, and the cost of raising livestock has also risen sharply. In addition to cheap nutrients and bionic meat, foods such as eggs and meat are very expensive.

Xu Ruyi's monthly salary is only 300 yuan, and the price of an egg is [-] yuan without discount, and [-] yuan after discount. He buys two eggs every day as a nutritional supplement.

It's late today, so there will be no eggs to eat today.

……

At this moment, the center of Shelter Zero, the top floor of the steeple-shaped building.

The operatives of the Alien Bureau became busy, and there were loud voices from time to time, and from time to time someone picked up a document and ran out.

There was only one person sitting alone at his desk, looking blankly at the busy colleagues around him.

This person is Fang Yuan, a rookie operator who was just assigned to Shelter Zero.

"No one told me what to do at this time?"

Fang Yuan was devastated, although it was fun to fish at work, but when the colleagues around her were working like chicken blood, she didn't even know what to do, which made her seem very out of place.

She has been transferred to No. [-] shelter for several days, but her daily job is to watch the surveillance idly, and she doesn't even have the opportunity to be a passerby on the street.

But no one told her what work to do, and there was no such thing as induction training.

She is like a substitute player who has been on the bench for thousands of years, the kind who is responsible for looking after the water dispenser.

At this moment, a middle-aged man walked in from outside the office.

Fang Yuan saw at a glance that it was her immediate superior, Captain Li Nan.

She immediately started digging through some papers on the table, pretending that she was working hard, and praying that her boss would not look her way.

But unfortunately, after Li Nan looked around the door of the office, his eyes quickly fell on Fang Yuan who was pretending to be working.

"Fang Yuan, come out."

Fang Yuan looked annoyed, got up from her desk helplessly, and followed Li Nan out of the office.

Coming out of the office was a corridor, and the direction Li Nan took her to was the direction of the conference room.

On the way, Fang Yuan said cautiously, "Captain, I'm not being lazy."

Li Nan glanced at her and pierced her small thoughts: "You haven't been assigned any tasks, what can you do if you're not lazy?"

"I... I make delicious coffee, would you like a cup?"

Li Nan had no expression on his face, while Fang Yuan just laughed awkwardly a few times and remained silent.

After the two came to the meeting room, they realized that there was already a person sitting in the meeting room.

He's a handsome young man who looks like he's just grown up.

"Ah, you are..." Fang Yuan pointed at him, and quickly remembered who he was, "Are you... Xu Ruyi's colleague? Ye Qiubai?"

She was behind the monitor all day long, watching Xu Ruyi's daily life, so she naturally knew Xu Ruyi's best friend.

Ye Qiubai nodded to her, then continued to look down at a document in his hand, frowning.

Li Nan smiled and said, "Why, are you reluctant to come here?"

"No." Ye Qiubai shook his head, put down the document in his hand, and put it on the table, "I've always dreamed of the day I leave No. [-] shelter. My destination is not here."

"where?"

"On the front line, on the way to kill the mutant, or die on the way!"

He spoke firmly and decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

Li Nan knew his background and understood his thoughts: "Then go to the headquarters, where you can meet everything you want."

Ye Qiubai looked at him and asked, "Then who will take my place?"

His position... is important.

He was chosen by the Alien Affairs Bureau to accompany Xu Ruyi.

He is Xu Ruyi's "best friend".

Li Nan pointed to Fang Yuan beside him: "Her."

"she?"

Ye Qiubai frowned, looking at Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan didn't realize that she was talking about herself at first, and when both of them looked over, she pointed at herself in astonishment: "Me?!"

Li Nan said: "Just like you, she is a 'companion' selected by the headquarters, or... her position in the future will be more important than yours."

Ye Qiubai's brows gradually relaxed, and he let out a long sigh: "I understand."

He stood up and bowed deeply to Fang Yuan: "Then Brother Xu, I'll leave it to you."

Although...it is the need of work to play Xu Ruyi's "best friend".

But Ye Qiubai and Xu Ruyi have been together for nearly ten years, from the time they were two children until now.

Being Xu Ruyi's "best friend" is no longer just a job.

So he sincerely asked his successor to take good care of Xu Ruyi on his behalf.

Fang Yuan was still in a daze, and still didn't understand the situation, seeing Ye Qiubai bowing so solemnly, she had no choice but to bow again and again.

……

Ye Qiubai left, and only Fang Yuan and Li Nan were left in the conference room.

Only then did Fang Yuan ask anxiously, "Captain, what's going on?"

Li Nan waved his hand, signaling her to be calm: "I know you have a lot of doubts, but you sit down first and speak slowly."

Fang Yuan could only be patient, sat on the chair, and waited for Li Nan to give a reasonable explanation
Li Nan sat across from her, put his hands on the table, and looked at her: "Before you talk about your mission, do you know why Xu Ruyi is so important to us? We even created this No. [-] shelter for him Place."

"You know what he is?"
