Chapter 199 – Dare to Agree?

The Administration’s liquor was truly potent. Ning Fei, who prided himself on being able to drink anyone under the table, found himself uncharacteristically knocked out.

His last impression before losing consciousness was calling a car and stubbornly making his way home, closing the door behind him… and then nothing.

When he opened his eyes again and asked for the time, the smart system informed him it was already the afternoon of the next day. Ning Fei felt a mix of “how ridiculous that I actually got drunk for so long” and a lazy reluctance to get up. Since his head was still a little foggy, he simply rolled over onto his back, emptying his mind.

Honestly, his rare decision to drink heavily last night wasn’t because he wanted to numb himself with alcohol, or to make some decision in a burst of courage. He simply wanted a brief respite, to clear all the chaotic thoughts from his head. Ning Fei didn’t see it as escape evasion; he had thought too deeply, too meticulously, as if he had fallen into some kind of strange loop. No matter how he thought, how he reasoned, he always ended up at the same option.

Ning Fei thought that perhaps after clearing everything, starting over might allow him to rationally and objectively arrive at a genuine result.

But right now… he didn’t want to use his brain.

He didn’t want to think about work, didn’t want to think about KPIs, didn’t want to think about that… problem that would lead to mental chaos if he thought about it.

“…Shouldn’t have talked to him.” Ning Fei pressed his fingers to his brow, not even wanting to recall what Ryan had said yesterday. Once he did, he felt like those words were pushing him in a certain direction. Ning Fei could hardly tell if Ryan’s words actually had that effect, or if it was just that his own heart was already leaning that way, so he silently imbued Ryan’s words with subjective interpretation.

——Besides, how reliable is Ryan anyway? Taking his choices as reference might not be a good idea…

Tsk, thinking “don’t think, don’t think,” his brain started turning uncontrollably again.

Ning Fei couldn’t fall back asleep, nor could he stop the thoughts that kept popping up from the bottom of his heart. Like pressing down a gourd only for a ladle to float up, Ning Fei couldn’t suppress all the thoughts, finally deciding to execute a somewhat crazy, spur-of-the-moment idea before he got completely irritated.

“System, I want to create a new image. Build me a new image profile.”

“Okay,” the smart system replied in the room. “Please first tell me your preferred appearance.”

“First, give me a random one… um, it has to be handsome.”

With those words, a projected image appeared in front of Ning Fei. Male, middle-aged, tall, definitely handsome in the eyes of the masses. Ning Fei, however, immediately saw that the image had absorbed some of his own characteristics, and immediately said, “Change it, make it less like me.”

The image flashed and changed to a tall, muscular hunk.

Ning Fei glanced at it and said, “A bit too much.”

Changed again, this time it was a youthful and vibrant sports-oriented college student.

“…Too young, too much sunshine.”

An elite man with a disdainful look.

“Too much Gloomy qi vibe.”

A gentle man with glasses.

“Too bookish.”

A cold-faced model man.

“Face is too wooden…”

He kept changing and changing, finally randomly arriving at a mature man with a stern face and distinct features, who could be seen to have “strength” under his three-piece suit. Ning Fei felt in his heart that something was still not right, but he couldn’t quite say where it needed further improvement. Mainly, he had changed too much, and he himself couldn’t figure out what he wanted.

So he could only temporarily endure this barely satisfactory image, tsking, “Forget it, let’s just use this for now.”

The smart system replied, “Okay. Now starting to refine this image…”

“Don’t worry about that yet,” Ning Fei interrupted. “First, let him take off his clothes and show me.”

The smart system didn’t question his purpose, confirming, “Are you asking to confirm the naked state of this image?”

“No, I want to see him do the ‘take off clothes’ action.” Ning Fei lay on the ground, resting his head on his left arm, and pointed his right index finger a few times at the man’s image. “Start with this three-piece suit, one piece at a time, start.”

As soon as the words fell, the man actually started to take off his clothes as instructed. First, he directly lifted and took off his jacket, then twisted the knot of his tie, loosened it with his index finger, and then pulled it down in one breath. Then he unbuttoned his vest, unbuttoned the collar of his shirt and his cuffs…

“Enough, stop.”

The sense of disharmony in Ning Fei’s heart grew stronger, and he couldn’t help but speak out to stop the image from continuing. Then he finally propped himself up and got up from the ground.

“This directly used my motion data, right?” As soon as he stood up, Ning Fei felt his head become even more dizzy, so he pressed his brow with the heel of his right palm, and then pressed the back of his head. “Don’t do that, it looks too weird.”

The smart system replied, “This is a new image created for you, it defaults to directly using your motion data.”

Ning Fei: “…”

The system added, “If you want to use new movements, you can demonstrate, or choose a public template.”

“…Okay, I’ll demonstrate, do as I do.”

As Ning Fei spoke, he began to take off his own clothes. His movements were not smooth, he pondered for a moment with each step, as if recalling something, and then tried to make the next move. As he moved, the mature man’s projection “copied” it one-to-one. Until the two… one person and one shadow, had unbuttoned their shirts and pulled their hems out of their pants, Ning Fei finally stopped.

He didn’t move, and the image didn’t move either. He observed the image, and the image observed him in the same way.

Ning Fei’s gaze involuntarily went down, landing on the open front of the image’s clothes, revealing a small part of flesh and muscle lines.

——Still not right.

He thought it was enough when he was wearing clothes, but when he saw the “entity,” it seemed a little too thin. Not enough fleshiness, you can tell by looking at it that the hand feel is not so good…

“Ning Fei.”

Seeing that Ning Fei’s hand seemed to be reaching out, the smart system suddenly spoke again, “Do you need to switch to a virtual image with accompanying functions? If you need physical services, I can order them for you now according to your requirements…”

“No, I don’t need it!” Ning Fei was interrupted, and suddenly came back to his senses, retracted his hand and said, “Take this away too.”

“You don’t need to continue building a new profile? Do you want to save the current one?”

“No, I don’t want it, I don’t want any of it.” Ning Fei waved his hand, then squatted down and supported his forehead, unable to help but curse in a low voice, “Fuck…”

——Obviously I wanted to see other tastes, but how come I’m still inexplicably getting closer and closer to that guy.

——And I actually remembered the action of him taking off his clothes, I’m impressed.

The system monitored his movements and confirmed, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Hangover?”

“No!” Ning Fei subconsciously retorted, but quickly retracted his statement, “Forget it, just treat it as a hangover, get me some sobering medicine.”

“Okay.”

After the system responded, it didn’t make another sound. Ning Fei squatted in place for a long time, until his feet were a little numb, before slowly standing up again. At this moment, he suddenly remembered something, picked up the jacket he had just thrown aside and felt the inner pocket, took out a simply designed brooch, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Forget it, let’s think carefully when my head is clear.

Can’t escape anymore.

*

Ning Fei’s personality is like this: if he doesn’t do it, he doesn’t do it; if he does, he has to do it thoroughly.

Originally, he had been escaping from the big trouble of Duan Yunhong, but now that he was determined to face it, he was instead forcing himself to analyze it thoroughly, to sort everything out to the end. When he came back to his senses, he found that he was already at the table writing a lot.

Not some long self-analysis, nor a sincere analysis of Duan Yunhong, but small segments of “scenario assumptions.” Well, to put it bluntly, they were all small segments of Ning Fei’s thoughts of “if XXX happens, then I should respond to XXX like this.” At first, it was just the kind of problems that might occur in ordinary couples, and Ning Fei just wanted to test whether he could accept them, or how to prepare to solve them. But as he thought, Ning Fei couldn’t help but start to think about the “daily life of couples” he had seen in the mission world. All kinds of couples, all kinds of problems, the more Ning Fei recalled, the more he went down the road to absurdity, the more he pondered, the more it went beyond common sense. As a result, when he stopped and looked back at what he had just written, he found it ridiculous.

For example: 【He has to betray me in order for us to both survive, then if he comes back to apologize later, should I forgive him?】

The response notes Ning Fei wrote at the time were: 【It depends on the extent of his betrayal. For minor degrees, such as…】

Looking at this question again, Ning Fei directly wrote two big words on the question and answer: 【nerve Crazy】

For another example: 【If he insists on turning into a disgusting thing to buy Coke, how should I respond?】

Ning Fei’s reply at the time even roughly divided “disgusting things” into several categories for judgment, but now he simply crossed it out and wrote two big words on it: 【ill! Sick!】

After laughing at himself for a while, Ning Fei was too lazy to refute them one by one, so he simply drew a lot of scratches on the paper, representing that he wanted to discard these useless efforts. After scribbling wildly for several minutes, Ning Fei felt that he had finally let out a breath, so he slammed the pen on the table and decided to just think with his brain.

He thought, since everyone says that my temperament is like Yu Zhou’s, then I’ll ask myself about the problems he encountered.

First, if I’m with Duan Yunhong, should I also let him join the Administration and become an “office romance”?

Regarding this point, Ning Fei felt that he and Duan Yunhong should both prefer to join the Administration. Otherwise, if their positions are always opposed in the future, it will always be a big hidden danger.

Second, if they are both in the Administration, should they do tasks together, or do their own work?

Always doing tasks together, seeing each other all the time, staying together for a long time has the risk of getting tired of each other. But if the two of them go to different worlds, then there may be a “Ryan behavior.” Even if Duan Yunhong is still willing to give Ning Fei his location, Ning Fei knows that “distance makes the heart grow fonder, long distance is good for cheating.” He only needs to replace himself with Yu Zhou’s position at the time, and he feels that he will definitely be even more explosive than Yu Zhou.

Ning Fei admitted that his desire for control was very strong. He is best at building defenses in emotions. If someone “sneak attacks” him after he lowers his defenses, he will have the idea of destroying the other party and himself together.

Therefore, Ning Fei would rather be said to be “controlling” and “watching too closely” than to actively and in advance extinguish this fire.

Third, and the last question—what if he really cheats?

Regarding this question, Ning Fei suddenly realized that he had already answered it.

Or rather, all problems are solved in the face of this answer.

“Then, kill him.

“Even if it means betting my life and exhausting the ends of the universe, I will completely destroy him.”

——Duan Yunhong, dare you agree?
