I seem to be being watched by them.

It didn't seem to have any impact. Even if the task was issued, wouldn't it be fine if I didn't complete it? Yu Hongli thought about it and decided to choose it to see the favorability, but she hesitated at the last moment and asked, "AI, let me ask you a question first. I have completed the two previous tasks. If I fail to complete them, is there any punishment?"

Yu Hongli seemed to hear the AI ​​tut-tutting its lips, as if it was a bit regretful, and then the AI ​​said: "If the mission fails, 100 mission points will be deducted. If the host's mission points are 0 and the mission fails, the host will owe the system points."

Yu Hongli was shocked, and then said angrily: "You didn't remind me of such an important thing?!"

"The host didn't ask either." said the AI.

"I didn't ask, but you should tell me something as important as this, right?"

"Because the system has not considered the possibility of the host's mission failing, I initially thought it was unnecessary to tell the host," said the AI.

"I need to know!" Yu Hongli said angrily.

"Obviously, I didn't think you needed to know before, because the two tasks you completed were almost zero difficulty tasks." The AI ​​said calmly: "The system believes that you will not fail, so there is naturally no need for you to know."

"If I didn't know that, I would have chosen my sister as the capture target. In this case, once the system issues the mission, if I don't complete it, it will be judged as a failure, right? Isn't this unnecessary?"

"...This system is not aware that the host would consider 'choosing the sister as the capture target but not completing the mission', so there is no obvious problem with the previous judgment."

Yu Hongli took a deep breath. This system is really annoying...

Chapter 18 Mission - Cultivate Hobbies

"Sister?" Yu Weiyang saw Yu Hongli's expression change from smiling to annoyed, and then to a look as if she was trying to calm down. She couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Did I say something wrong?"

“Hmm…? No, no, I just thought of some unpleasant things.” Yu Hongli came back to his senses and quickly smiled.

"..." Yu Weiyang looked at Yu Hongli, a little worried, "Sister seems to be in a trance a lot recently?"

Yu Hongli blinked, "I've been a little busy lately, working on a project, and I'm a little short of inspiration, so sometimes inspiration suddenly pops up, and I can't help but think about it."

"Is that so? Sister, don't make yourself too tired." Yu Weiyang nodded after hearing this.

"Hmm..." Yu Hongli nodded. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She was still too obvious in her performance. Su Yang and Yu Hongli could both see that something was wrong with her. She couldn't do this.

After Yu Weiyang left the kitchen, Yu Hongli entered the system again. She said to the AI: "You can't hide such important rules from me anymore!"

"Conceal? I think the host's wording is not accurate. According to the settings, this system is completely honest and open to the host. Concealing the situation from the host will violate the user agreement of this system." The AI ​​said calmly.

"Then why did you hide it from me?" Yu Hongli asked dissatisfiedly.

"I just haven't decided to tell the host. The responsibility of concealing something is very heavy, and I dare not do it. But not actively revealing information to you is just a very common thing." The AI ​​explained.

Yu Hongli was confused. She said, "No matter what, I need to know all the rules!"

"Really? Then let's start with the first rule of the system. 1. The first user bound by the host is the lifelong host of this system. 2. The system must be loyal to..."

The AI ​​began to introduce its system rules and protocols in a fluent manner. Yu Hongli could not take in the large amount of content at once. She quickly stopped it and said, "Wait, I only need to know the important things."

"...I don't know what is important to the host. How about the host define for me what rules are important?" The AI ​​paused and said.

"..." Yu Hongli took a few deep breaths, opened his mouth, thought for a while, and then said, "Those violations will have serious consequences."

"Well... out of the 788 rules and regulations of this system, 788 of them have serious consequences if violated," said the AI.

ah....!

Calm down, Yu Hongli, there's no need to get angry with AI.

When I think about the issue that everyone is discussing in society about whether AI will make humans unemployed, Yu Hongli, as a painter, is one of the people who has been hit hardest by AI. Now think about it, this AI from the future may not be that smart, so I can rest assured. Thinking this way, this is a good thing!

After calming down, Yu Hongli suddenly remembered that when he asked about the consequences of mission failure, he seemed to hear the AI ​​tut...

AI shouldn't lie to itself, at least it hasn't been found yet, but it seems that this AI has its own ideas and is not completely loyal to itself... And it has the power to judge whether to tell itself about something... It's quite scary to think about it this way...

If she doesn't say anything just because I didn't ask, then if I do something wrong later, it doesn't seem like she is hiding something?

"Host, please rest assured. If you want to do anything that violates the system rules, the system will remind you." The voice of AI sounded.

Yu Hongli was shocked, "Can you read minds?"

“…Why does the host look so surprised? This is not the first time I have read minds. Moreover, the system store sells mind-reading cards.” The AI’s voice was calm and indifferent.

"You can read minds, so don't you know what I want to know?" Yu Hongli became angrier the more he thought about it.

"The host thinks about so many things every day. How do I know what the host wants to know most? Can the host tell the difference himself?" said the AI ​​calmly.

"This..." Yu Hongli was speechless for a moment.

That's not right... I feel like this AI doesn't look like an AI. It looks more like a "human"...

The AI ​​remained silent.

Yu Hongli felt that fighting wits and courage with AI would only add to her troubles. She gave up the idea of ​​knowing everything and honestly made breakfast for Yu Weiyang.

Yu Hongli watched Yu Weiyang eating breakfast while she waited for Su Yang to get up and eat together.

By the way, she entered the system space to learn about her next mission.

"AI, what is my next mission?"

"Ding, the 'cultivate hobbies' mission has been unlocked. The host needs to collect novels and comics of the Red Riding Hood type and write a psychological analysis of the heroine. Mission rewards: the character's likes and dislikes will appear in the personal information to assist the host in completing the strategy, and a bottle of energy potion. The potion effect: greatly enhances the individual's energy, so that even a small fish can turn things around."

Oh?

Energy potion?

Yu Hongli's eyes lit up. Her period was almost over. If she could get the energy potion, wouldn't she be able to have a fight with Su Yang that would satisfy both of them?

This task does not require Su Yang and Wang Yufei to do anything, so if you think about it this way, it is not that difficult, right?

But what does Red Hat mean?

"To put it simply, it's about the heroine asking her boyfriend or husband to have a 'friendly exchange' with another woman." The AI ​​explained: "The host only needs to read and write a psychological analysis of the heroine to complete the task. This is a free point question..."

ha...

This subject matter is too weird... Yu Hongli touched it, but the energy potion is indeed very tempting, and it is also good that the personal information will show the character's preferences.

No matter what, Yu Hongli did not have the power to refuse the mission.

Well, come back tonight and study it carefully.

When Su Yang got up, Yu Weiyang had already gone out. He had breakfast with Yu Hongli and sent her out.

Before leaving, Yu Hongli hugged Su Yang. She looked at Su Yang and said with a smile, "Su Yang, when my period is over, I will show my true strength!"

Su Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Hurry up and go to work. Why would you talk about this before work?"

"Hehe." Yu Hongli was very confident. Although I don't have the strength, I can take drugs. "Just look forward to it."

"Okay, okay, I'm looking forward to it." Su Yang pinched Yu Hongli's pretty face and said with a smile: "Drive safely, please?"

"Yeah~" Yu Hongli walked out happily, but just as she was about to go to Qiao Wang Yufei's house, she turned around and looked at Su Yang, "By the way, Su Yang, the company is having a team building tonight, and you can bring your family members. Do you want to go with me?"

"Forget it. Your company is full of women. They say they can bring their families with them. But last time I went with you, no one else brought their families with them except you." Su Yang shook his head. "It would be awkward for me, a man, to be there."

"Okay then, I won't force you." Yu Hongli smiled, "Then don't cook for me tonight, you and Weiyang can just eat at home."

"Call me if you're drunk?" Su Yang said, "I'll pick you up."

"You know I don't drink outside." Yu Hongli waved her hand, "and Sister Qian Dai wouldn't let us girls drink."

Su Yang nodded. "Sister Qiandai" was Yu Hongli's boss Liu Qiandai. Su Yang had met her once before. She was a serious and solemn woman. She would not let the girls under her drink. Su Yang was still very relieved.

Chapter 19 Liu Qiandai

Yu Hongli works for an art company that undertakes outsourcing projects.

Outsourcing companies like theirs are very busy when they are busy and very idle when they are idle.

I am relatively idle today, so we will have team building tonight.

The purpose of this team-building event is actually similar to a "welcome party". This is a company tradition. As long as new employees join, there will be similar activities.

At noon, after finishing her meal, Yu Hongli did not take a nap. Instead, she sat at her workstation and used her mobile phone to search for the Red Hat article that the system required her to read.

There are not many novels or comics of this type, and Yu Hongli knows very little about these things, so after spending some effort, he only found a novel.

Yu Hongli asked the AI ​​how many novels or comics she needed to read at least, and the AI ​​said at least five.

This gave Yu Hongli a bit of a headache.

"What are you looking at?" At this moment, Yu Hongli felt someone patted his shoulder. Yu Hongli, who was browsing a shady website, was startled. His hands shook and his phone almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Yu Hongli reacted and grabbed the phone in a panic.

After she held the phone steadily, she turned her head and looked behind her, and found that it was the art director and her immediate superior, Liu Qiandai.

"Sister Liu, you almost scared me to death." Yu Hongli's pretty face flushed, with a hint of complaint in her tone.

Liu Qiandai's face didn't show much expression, but she raised her eyebrows slightly, "What are you doing? So focused? Did I scare you half to death when I tapped your shoulder?"

"Browsing the web." Yu Hongli reacted, the blush on her face gradually faded, revealing a perfect smile without any flaws.

"Hmm? What website?" Liu Qiandai looked at Yu Hongli with a slight smile on her lips.

"Material website." Yu Hongli blurted out, but immediately regretted it. Although "material website" sounded rather general, for them who were majoring in art, it was a convenient term that Liu Qiandai might be interested in. Maybe Liu Qiandai would continue asking.

Liu Qiandai's upturned mouth corners finally turned into a smile, but she did not continue to ask, but said: "Take a good rest at noon, we still have to go out and play after get off work."

"Yeah." Yu Hongli breathed a sigh of relief. There was a faint blush on her pretty face. She always felt that Liu Qiandai seemed to see through her, but she didn't know if it was because of what she saw.

"Where's your boyfriend? Will he come this afternoon?" Liu Qiandai crossed her arms over her chest, making her already slightly exaggerated figure look even more majestic.

Yu Hongli was not jealous of Liu Qiandai's size, after all, she was not bad either.

"He said that he would probably be the only man there and he would feel awkward so he decided not to go." Yu Hongli shrugged and said.

"Haha, although you can bring family members, the other sisters are either single or unwilling to bring their boyfriends to the Kingdom of Daughters. Only you have brought your boyfriend with you." Liu Qiandai laughed.

"Have I caused trouble for Sister Liu and the other sisters?" Yu Hongli blinked, her light cherry-colored eyeshadow flashing slightly, and she asked.

Liu Qiandai shook her head. She pulled the chair from the workstation next to her, sat down, and crossed her legs.

Liu Qiandai pays great attention to her image. When she is in the company, she dresses very professionally, with her signature white shirt, black women's suit, OL skirt, black padded hip socks, and a pair of black high heels with red soles on her feet, which makes her look restrained. Even in winter, she still has the intellectuality and elegance of a working woman.

But she is not a woman who only cares about style and not warmth. She usually dresses warmly and only changes into her current outfit when she gets to the company and has heating.

"Of course it's not a bother, but...your boyfriend's name is...Su Yang?" Liu Qiandai asked.

"Yes, Su from Suzhou, Yang from Yangzhou." Yu Hongli nodded.

Liu Qiandai thought for a moment, "I feel like I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum from you. I don't talk much and I'm a bit silent. So are you two complementary?"

"Hehe, actually he talks a lot to me." Yu Hongli smiled embarrassedly, "But he is really not very good at chatting with people, that's just his personality."

Liu Qiandai tilted her head, "Are you living together now?"

"Yes. My sister, Su Yang and I live together now." Yu Hongli nodded, not quite sure why Liu Qiandai asked these questions.

"I remember the house you lived in. It's your house, right?" Liu Qiandai asked.

"Well... yes." Yu Hongli was a little hesitant. She was worried that Liu Qiandai might have misunderstood Su Yang as a gigolo. She wanted to explain, but seeing that there was not much expression on Liu Qiandai's face, she couldn't tell what she was thinking. Yu Hongli's words came to her lips, but she didn't know how to start. What if she misunderstood? Wouldn't it be very embarrassing?

"He seems to be very idle every day?" Liu Qiandai continued to ask.

"Well... he's an online novel writer and can do his work at home." Yu Hongli thought about it and decided to explain, lest her boyfriend become a gigolo in the eyes of her boss.

It was okay if she was misunderstood by others. Liu Qiandai was very caring towards her and they had a good personal relationship. She and Su Yang might meet again in the future, so it would be bad if there was a misunderstanding.

Liu Qiandai looked at Yu Hongli and suddenly smiled, "Why are you so nervous? I just asked about your boyfriend's recent situation. Are you jealous?"

"No..." Yu Hongli certainly wouldn't be jealous about this. On the contrary, she wanted others to know how good her boyfriend was. She didn't want her boyfriend to be looked down upon by others.

Speaking of which, during the last party, Liu Qiandai seemed to have chatted with Su Yang for a few words...I don’t know what they talked about.

Liu Qiandai sat up and patted Yu Hongli on the shoulder. "Take a nap. There's not much work to do these days. It's very free. Relax."

"Yeah." Yu Hongli nodded with a smile, watched Liu Qiandai leave, and returned to her office.

Yu Hongli was a little confused. She didn't know why Liu Qiandai asked about Su Yang. Maybe she was just curious about her partner?

She didn't ask too much, and Yu Hongli couldn't analyze why she did that.

Moreover, most of the time, there is probably no reason for chatting, whether it is a man or a woman. Yu Hongli thought about it, but couldn't figure out any reason. He thought it might be just a casual talk, so he didn't take it to heart.
