Chapter 679 Extra (1)
The Quick Transmigration Division recently made headlines—Yan Zhen, the mission taker who consistently topped the leaderboard for points, suddenly disappeared from the list.
Some busybodies looked up the ranking of thousands of mission takers in the Quick Transmigration Division and found her on the last page. Her points had plummeted from over 300,000 to just over 10,000.
Meanwhile, the most expensive item in the Quick Transmigration Company's points redemption mall, a limited edition item, is now sold out and unavailable.
The item appeared to be a top-quality blue diamond the size of a pigeon's egg, but it was actually a key to activate a planet with stunning scenery and a comfortable climate.
Buying this top-grade blue diamond is equivalent to buying the planet and becoming its lord, possessing permanent usage rights.
Someone calculated that Yan Zhen's suddenly vanished points were exactly the amount needed to buy that planet.
As a result, rumors circulated within the Quick Transmigration Bureau, with many saying that the hard-working player at the top of the points rankings was probably tired and had spent a lot of money to buy a high-quality planet in preparation for retirement.
Many colleagues who had Yan Zhen's contact number also messaged her privately, asking if the rumors were true.
Yan Zhen didn't reply—she was currently lying on the doghouse sofa on the planet Mirrorfall, fast asleep.
After sleeping for more than ten hours, when Yan Zhen woke up, the doghouse was so quiet that the only sound was the pattering of Xiao Qi, who was sitting on the coffee table eating a biscuit.
Yan Zhen slept soundly and felt refreshed. Since Jing Chen wasn't around, she didn't rush to get up. Instead, she opened the floating display screen to browse the forum gossip.
Xiaoqi sighed suddenly, before she had even finished reading a post about colleagues backstabbing each other during a task.
Yan Zhen glanced at it distractedly: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Qi held the half-eaten cookie with its wings and sat on the coffee table like a human. Yan Zhen could see the emotion of "melancholy" in its green bean eyes.
"All the points I painstakingly accumulated are gone just like that... It's really expensive to seduce men."
Yan Zhen couldn't help but chuckle: "It's perfectly normal to spend money when dating."
“But you’re too generous, spending so much all at once…” Xiao Qi sighed deeply. “My points have gone from first to last, so I can’t show off in front of the new systems anymore. The card-playing systems probably won’t let me win anymore… My card skills are so bad, how can I win if they don’t let me win?”
Yan Zhen ignored it, turned over and continued browsing gossip posts.
At the same time, in Zhou Yanqing's office, the quick-transmigration officer.
Zhou Yanqing looked up from her documents for the nth time, glanced at Jing Chen sitting opposite her, and said helplessly, "It's lunchtime. Don't you need to go back and cook for your husband?"
“I left her some food; she can heat it up and eat it when she wakes up.” Jing Chen leaned against the desk, resting her left hand on the desk and propping up her cheek, striking an affected pose to fully display the top-grade blue diamond on her wrist that transformed into the shape of a watch.
He had been holding that pose for almost an hour. Zhou Yanqing felt like her eyes were about to be blinded by the blue diamond, which was as big as a pigeon's egg. After enduring it for a long time, she finally complimented him, saying, "The watch is quite nice. Where did you get it?"
Jing Chen immediately stretched his arm forward, the blue diamond almost touching Zhou Yanqing's face, and said casually, "Is it pretty? It's alright. Zhenzhen bought it, she redeemed it in the mall with her points... I told her I didn't need such an expensive gift, I'm not a materialistic person, but I couldn't stop her from buying it for me."
Zhou Yanqing's lips twitched, and he gave a dry laugh: "Haha."
Just then, there was a knock on the office door. As Zhou Yanqing said "Come in," Jing Chen immediately resumed his posture of resting his head on his hand and continued to show off his watch.
The person who came in was a mission participant who had just finished his mission and was returning to report. As expected, his eyes were drawn to the blue diamond in Jing Chen's hand as soon as he entered.
Upon seeing Jing Chen's affected pose, the astute mission taker immediately guessed his intention and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Wow! Isn't this the most expensive planet key in the store? God, how come it's with you?"
Jing Chen raised his chin slightly and said calmly, "It was a gift from my girlfriend. You know my girlfriend, right? She's Yan Zhen."
Zhou Yanqing, who witnessed the whole thing: "..."
Jing Chen stayed in Zhou Yanqing's office for several hours, making his presence known to every mission participant who entered the office, and only left after showing off enough.
Back in the doghouse, Yan Zhen was lying on the sofa playing video games.
Jing Chen put the groceries he brought back on the coffee table, took off his coat, snuggled into Yan Zhen's arms, and asked, "When did you wake up?"
Yan Zhen was focused on playing the game and didn't even glance at him: "A few hours ago."
"are you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry, I ate a mini burger from the kitchen."
Seeing that her attention was entirely on the game, Jingchen leaned in and bit her earlobe with some dissatisfaction.
The two lived together in the small world for over sixty years, and Yan Zhen developed many habits, such as his love for playing video games.
However, she also cured some of her ailments in the small world, such as improving her sleep and appetite. When she returned to the Quick Transmigration Division, she was no longer as anxious and irritable as before.
"Stop messing around, I'm almost done." Yan Zhen nudged Jing Chen away with his elbow. "Three minutes."
Jing Chen stared at Yan Zhen for three minutes, like a big dog waiting for its owner to feed it.
As expected, Yan Zhen ended the game after three minutes. The moment she put down the game console, Jing Chen leaned in and asked for a kiss.
Yan Zhen didn't refuse and hooked her arms around his neck.
Before they rolled together, Jing Chen remembered something and turned to meet Xiao Qi's innocent, beady eyes as she squatted on the coffee table.
He frowned slightly, reached out and opened the cookie box next to him, scooped up Xiaoqi and threw her into the cookie box, closed the lid, covered it with his palm and spun it, and the cookie box and Xiaoqi disappeared from the spot.
With the light bulb gone, Jingchen could finally do what she wanted without worry.
Yan Zhen felt his calloused hand caress her waist, which made her tremble. She still asked, "Where did you send Xiao Qi?"
“Its office.” Jing Chen’s breathing sounded like it had a hook. “Never mind it, hmm…”
……
After taking a two-week break, Yan Zhen spent his days eating and sleeping, becoming so bored that he was practically lazy. Finally, urged by Xiao Qi, he returned to work at the Quick Transmigration Division.
The new world is the end times—Jing Chen secretly used her authority as the main god to give her the green light to investigate.
Before setting off, Jingchen repeatedly reminded him: "Be careful and try to avoid getting injured."
"If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, contact me. I've granted you direct access to my services."
"Don't work yourself to death like before. It's okay if the mission fails."
Yan Zhen listened patiently to Jing Chen's rambling for a while, like a soldier about to go into battle, his eyes becoming increasingly mocking.
Jing Chen shut his mouth under her teasing gaze.
Yan Zhen asked, "Are you finished?"
"...That's all."
"No, I don't think so," Yan Zhen said with a smile. "Is there anything else you want to say? Say it all at once."
Jing Chen: "...Is that all?"
"Oh, then I'm leaving."
As Yan Zhen spoke, he made a gesture as if to activate the teleportation.
Jing Chen quickly pressed her hand down, and after a moment of hesitation, he said in a very fast voice, "You're not allowed to flirt around in the small world, not with either men or women!"
Yan Zhen couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
Jing Chen blushed from the laughter, and glared at Yan Zhen with a fierce but weak expression: "If you laugh again, I'm going to get angry!"
Yan Zhen then stopped laughing and pinched his cheek: "You don't trust me that much? You can come with me, I'll tie you to my belt, fight zombies during the day, and at night..."
Jing Chen immediately covered her mouth.
Yan Zhen laughed for a long time.
After she finished laughing, Jing Chen said, "I'm not going."
"why?"
"We're always glued together with no personal space, it's too cloying," Jing Chen said. "You focus on your mission, and I'll use this time to renovate the planet you gave me and build a two-story cabin. We can move there next time."
Yan Zhen thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, the climate there is good and the sunshine is long. You can set up an orchard and grow some fruit, preferably sweet ones."
Jingchen asked, "How about lychees? I can get some uncontaminated Guagreen original varieties."
Yan Zhen: "This is good. Let's plant some more pineapples. The sweet and sour pork with pineapple you made last time was delicious."
Jing Chen: "Then we can have some watermelon, mango, and cherries... and plant some green vegetables too. What kind of green vegetables do you want to eat?"
"Bok choy, it makes a delicious meatball soup."
"Where are the cherry tomatoes? Didn't you praise the sweet aperitif cherry tomatoes I grew?"
Are cherry tomatoes a vegetable?
The two chatted away for ages, talking about trivial things, while Little Seven, holding the teleporter, waited for them to finish, and secretly rolled its eyes.
Dating not only costs points but also time.
Half an hour passed before the two finally finished speaking.
Under Jing Chen's reluctant gaze, Xiao Qi activated the teleporter, and Yan Zhen's figure transformed into tiny starlight and disappeared before his eyes.
After Yan Zhen left, Jing Chen sighed with a sense of loss.
But the thought of Yan Zhen coming back from his mission, lounging on the soft sofa in their new home, playing games and waiting for him to cook, cheered him up and filled him with enthusiasm as he prepared to go to the new home.
However, at this moment, the lights above suddenly flickered twice, followed by a deafening explosion from the direction of the main control room. The noise was so loud that the entire Quick Transmigration Division seemed to tremble.
Little Qi, who was standing nearby, screamed in fright and covered her head with her wings, desperately trying to burrow into the folder.
Jing Chen frowned, grabbed Xiao Qi and stuffed her into a drawer, then opened the office door and ran quickly toward the control room.
The loud noise immediately drew all the technicians and management of the Quick Transmigration Division to the control room.
In the huge control room, rows of machines were constantly emitting black smoke, and the screens were filled with constantly jumping garbled characters.
The technicians looked grave as they began investigating the cause of the explosion.
"An unknown virus has attacked our system!"
"The firewall has been forcibly shut down and cannot be stopped!"
"The virus is checking the list of all mission participants!"
"Encrypted file has been forcibly decrypted!"
"Important data has been deleted and maliciously destroyed!"
"All personnel on duty have gone missing!"
Jing Chen's heart skipped a beat. He exchanged a glance with Zhou Yanqing, who had rushed over, and immediately pushed aside one of the technicians to begin the rescue himself.
More than 20 technicians worked tirelessly for nearly an hour to finally remove the invading virus.
However, the damaged quick-travel system was in complete disarray, with data lost or destroyed, and most of the mission participants were out of contact.
The Quick Transmigration Company relies on data connections to support mission takers. If the source data is lost or destroyed, it is a very dangerous situation for mission takers who are currently performing their tasks.
At best, they are unable to use the system or their cheat codes; at worst, they lose their memories and have no idea where they came from, why they are here, or what they are here to do.
If the mission takers are in a peaceful era, their lives are not in great danger. But if they are in a time of war or apocalypse, and have lost their memories and the cheat codes from the system, they could be killed in a heartbeat.
Jing Chen tried to contact Yan Zhen several times without success. Knowing that Yan Zhen was on a mission in the apocalypse, his worry reached its peak.
No, he had to go into the small world to check, at least to ensure Yan Zhen's safety.
