Middle-aged Love Patch

"Baby kite, baby kite."

Sitting opposite Shiye called Xu Youyuan, and Xu Youyuan suddenly came back to his senses.

"Well, yes, very good." Xu Youyuan replied.

"What the hell." Shiye laughed, "Ask you if you can add roast duck to your new food game, what is very good. How do you see that you have no energy, what are you thinking?"

When Xu Youyuan watched Shiye and other friends right in front of her, she remembered that the game was selling big, and Sister Lu gave her another wave of bonuses. She only kept 10,000 yuan, and the rest went to Shiyue. This ten thousand yuan is used to invite friends to dinner.

Now they are having dinner together at the Kagura izakaya.

She originally called Shi Yue to come together, but Shi Yue did not come.

"I want to calm down." When Shi Yue said this to her, she saw Shi Yue's unprecedentedly lost eyes through the cracks in the door that was about to close.

"Hmm..." Xu Youyuan didn't force her, because she also felt that it would be better for two of them to calm down.

"Roast duck, yes, how can there be such a classic dish, I will write it down." Xu Youyu took out the phone to unlock, and shook his face for a long time, but the phone could not be unlocked.

Jiang Yun: "Sister Bird, your phone is upside down."

Xu Youyuan: "..."

Shi Ye: "What's the matter with you? Absent-minded. What's the matter with Xiaoyue and you? What's wrong with you when you live together?"

Agan and Jiang Yun: "Huh? Are you living together? When did it happen?"

Xu Youyuan: "It didn't take long, less than a month."

"It's been almost a month, and you didn't tell your sisters! Sister Bird won't come to share it when you're done, so that we can be happy, you are too uninteresting!"

Congratulations. Sister Hui, who was sitting next to Jiang Yun, was watching and leaning on Jiang Yun’s shoulders and said: "You little **** kids, don’t make a noise, let Xiaoyuan say that she must have met There are some difficult situations."

When Sister Hui spoke, everyone calmed down, staring at Xu Youyuan, waiting for her to speak.

"Actually, I encountered some difficulties in the game." The phone turned over and over in Xu Youyuan's hands.

"Game?" Shi Ye said, "You mean you are secretly...cough cough, you are having difficulties in the game? Isn't it, will there be any problems with a great **** like you?"

"It's not the same." Xu Youyuan knew that Shiye wanted to help her hide the fact that she and Shi Yue were dating in the dark box, but now she doesn't mind. How many professional players the dark box season has attracted no one anymore Think of it as a simple dating software, the dark box is now completely an explosive love game, and it is not ashamed to mention it.

More importantly, Xu Youyuan has no energy to conceal this matter now.

"Me and Shiyue are stuck in the last stage of the dark room love theme, which is also the last scene of the qualifiers. The dark room is the dark room you know..."

Xu Youyuan popularized the dark box game for everyone, thinking that everyone shouldn't play this previous Xia Sanlu game much. Unexpectedly, there is no need to explain it, everyone understands.

Well, it turns out that everyone is playing secretly, and even the best friend hasn't revealed it...

Xu Youyuan was shocked and looked around the circle of old sisters with wretched smiles: "Okay, if you all play, it will save me effort, I will just say it directly."

Four days ago, Xu Youyi and Shi Yue entered the dark room happily, planning to clear the last scene.

How real the real world will be, Xu Youyuan is ready.

Even with strong psychological preparation, this last scene is still too much unexpected.

The rules of the third stage of the theme of love are different from the previous two stages. The most important thing is the heartbeat index, but the partners don’t need to play other roles, and they don’t have to go through the process of searching. They will get it as soon as they enter the game. The appearance of the character very close to the real appearance.

The names used by the characters are the same as their nicknames, and their ages are closer to reality. Xu Youyuan is 38 years old and Shi Yue is 29 years old.

This kind of real feeling, in connection with the precautions displayed when entering the scene, shows a mysterious atmosphere.

【Precautions……

Two: You and your partner have shared weal and woe, and have gone through countless ups and downs to reach here. But those are all games, and you all understand that they are games. What if it is a real life?

"Regardless of poverty or wealth, health or disease, you can cherish each other until death separates you."

Can two people who are in love now conquer everything with love?

In the real world, there are answers you want. 】

Entering the game scene, Shi Yue is still not around, and Xu Youyuan appears in an old house with one bedroom and one living room.

The appearance of the character controlled by Xu Youyuan looks exactly the same as her, but the profession is different.

She is a housewife, Shi Yue is an office worker, and they have a sick 3-year-old child.

The child's cough and the strong smell of medicine occupy every corner of this small house.

[System reminder: You will experience real human events with your partner "Plasma Cream Cake with Flowers". Please maintain a heartbeat index of more than 50 points during the 15-year game time. If it is less than 50 points, it will be determined immediately For failure. 】

"Ten, fifteen years?"

When hearing what Xu Youyuan said, everyone present was shocked: "Are you going to spend fifteen years in the game?"

Xu Youyuan's throat was dry, and she drank saliva: "It's fifteen years of game time. In reality, it is only about forty-eight hours, but it feels like fifteen years for the player."

Sister Hui's expression also became a little serious: "I have to maintain a good impression on someone all the time for such a long time. Tsk...who can do it?"

Xu Youyuan: "As many people as there are teams entering the competition stage, as many as possible. At first, I thought it was frightening people, and Shiyue and I would have no problem with what others can do. Maybe it's too underestimation of the enemy. , From the very beginning, we were not going well. After all, there are more people entering the competition stage, and more people can be eliminated."

In this scene, the family’s various conditions can become floating windows floating up and down all the time. Xu Youyuan poured the medicine out. After feeding the child and calmed her cough, Xu Youyuan checked the current family situation.

Both Xu Youyuan and Shi Yue's parents are alive, which means that in addition to raising themselves and their children, they also need to support the elderly.

A 25-year-old old house in the urban area has a usable area of ​​42 square meters, and there is no possibility of demolition.

What made Xu Youyuan crash the most was seeing the deposit column.

12,000 yuan...

What the hell, even poorer than when Xu Youyuan lived in the western suburbs!

Looking at the income and expenses of the last year, most of the money was spent on children's medical treatment, the remaining 1/2 was spent on living expenses, and the other 1/2 was spent on money for the elderly and members.

Shi Yue works in a very ordinary technology company. At the age of 29, he is still an ordinary employee, earning RMB 14,500 per month.

This person setting is not very scientific for Shi Yue, but it cannot be denied that it is indeed the most likely life most ordinary people will experience in 2036.

After more than 10,000 yuan was received every month, there was not a single point left, and the deposit was the year-end bonus of Shiyue last year and was forcibly saved by Xu Youyi.

Xu Youyuan felt very awkward. Although she was poor, she did not save money in her family life and brought her children to poverty.

Shi Yue must be even more uncomfortable if she feels uncomfortable. After all, Shi Yue has been in a superior family since he was a child, and based on his young talents, he has never been angry at work, let alone lived a hard life.

She and Shi Yue have been married for 4 years, and their heartbeat index is only 52 points.

In other words, if you lose another 3 points, you will immediately fail.

It is 15 years that people dare not neglect for a moment.

Xu Youyuan was in a trance, the child suddenly turned over and fell off the bed, crying.

Xu Youyuan had never brought a child, and she didn't know that the child would fall off on her own, so she quickly picked her up.

"Mom, it hurts."

Xu Youyuan didn't know how to hold the child properly, and the holding technique was not so sophisticated, but the child still kissed her very much and acted like a baby in her arms.

When the child was cuddling Xu Youyuan, Xu Youyuan looked at her small face seriously, her eyes were very similar to Shi Yue, and she looked sweet when she smiled. The nose and mouth are nine points similar to myself.

If she and Shi Yue really had a baby, that would be the case.

Thinking of this, Xu Youyuan immediately understood that the child was created by systematically extracting the appearance features of her and Shi Yue. The appearance of the player will make the player have a more real sense of involvement, and will also have a deeper bond with the fate of the child.

After Xu Youyuan found out about this, how she felt pitiful to her children, and she was more attentive when she looked after her.

The child's name has not yet been taken, and the system prompts Xu Youyu to let her name the child.

Let alone a child, even if the cat, cat, or dog has a name, the feeling is established. If the feeling is deep, it is less willing to watch the child suffer, and the money will be invested in it.

Xu Youyuan intends to lose her name first.

Find the partition that is placed by the bed to prevent the child from falling, and stand it up so that the child will not be able to turn it down.

As soon as the partitions were set up, Xu Youyu smelled a peculiar smell, looking for the peculiar smell and walking to the kitchen, all the dishes and chopsticks had not had time to wash.

There is no dishwasher in the house.

It's still winter.

There are always gloves! Xu Youyuan looked around for a while. Okay, it's easy to handle with gloves.

Put on the gloves to wash the dishes, turn to the hot water end with a trace of luck, and turn to the end. Okay, there is no hot water.

I just washed a bowl and found that the glove was broken. I poured cold water into it. After half of the bowl was washed, my fingers were frozen, so I had to boil some boiling water and wash it.

The kettle was covered with limescale, and Xu Youyi took a look at the internal situation, and could be upset for a year.

Boil some water first, and then clean up the dishes after washing. Xu Youyuan stuck the kettle on the bottom plate, and there was some movement in the kettle. The room was dark with a "pop". The only light source came from the balcony full of debris.

power cut?

Xu Youyuan walked to the door vigilantly, trying to look out of the cat's eye first, wondering if danger would suddenly appear.

I walked to the wooden door and looked around, there was no cat's eye.

Xu Youyuan: "..."

Open the wooden door slowly. Fortunately, there is a layer of iron door outside. The lower part of the iron door is solid, and the upper part is covered with gauze. Xu Youyuan remembers seeing this iron gate when she returned to her grandfather's house when she was a child. It is very old fashioned.

The part connecting the gauze net and the iron gate was broken in several places. I don't know if it was broken by aging or was cut by someone. It seems to have been broken for a long time, but no one repaired it.

What kind of life are you living here...

There was no one else in the corridor. There were no elevators for three households on the first floor. Two households on the left and one household on the right. The fire safety door was tied by a rope and forced to open. The corridor was full of debris and dusty strollers. The property allows the owners to take away the sundries as soon as possible, otherwise the notice that will cause a fire is posted in the most eye-catching position, but it is obvious that the owners are indifferent.

Xu Youyuan opened the door and went out and saw that the electricity had run out. The system prompts that you need to find an electricity card to buy electricity at the bank.

As a modern person who automatically deducts utility bills every month, Xu Youyuan has never gone to the bank to buy electricity. Not to mention electricity, she rarely uses cash. She feels that old-fashioned banks are very inefficient and don't know why they have not been eliminated.

Now she understands that there are still many old houses that cannot be liquidated online, and the water and electricity have to be paid by the bank and the water company.

Xu Youyuan rummaged through the box and found the bank card. When she went out, the child started coughing again and asked her where she was going. Xu Youyuan was a little worried that the silly child stayed at home by herself, pushed the baby cart in, and carried her in.

When the cart went out, I remembered that there is no elevator in this old house!

I looked at the sweaty child in the stroller who had difficulty breathing, and asked her, "Can you stay at home alone?"

The child pouted and said nothing.

Forget it, take it...

Let the child wait for her at home, Xu Youyuan carried the cart downstairs and set it aside, then came up and carried the child down.

Fortunately, the child was sick and thin, so Xu Youyuan didn't have much trouble to hug and walked down from the sixth floor to make a living. It's just that when you go down the stairs, you can't see the way under your feet. The old man has to stretch his neck to look forward and carefully step on every step.

Afraid of falling down with the child, Xu Youyuan on the sixth floor went down for a long time before she finished. The muscles themselves were exhausted from holding the child and tense because of tension, and her physical strength dropped quickly.

Putting the child in the cart, Xu Youyuan found that his physical strength dropped faster than all previous scenes when he was pushing the cart to the bank.

Is it because of the emphasis on realism at this stage?

The bank is not far from home, 1.8 kilometers.

Anyway, she is a housewife and doesn't have to go to work in a hurry, she can walk slowly by pushing the car.

However, there are many steps up and down the old street on this road, and the flat road is also pitted and not easy to walk. There are construction sections along the street. Not to mention pushing a car, it is tiring to walk by yourself.

After finally tossing to the bank, Xu Youyuan was already out of breath, sweating on her forehead.

The feeling of low back pain was real and clear, and Xu Youyuan entered the bank with a trolley on her waist. As soon as the automatic door of the bank opened, the voice drowned her in an instant.

Okay, so many people!

Xu Youyuan glanced at the crowded lobby of the bank, dumbfounded.

The bank staff came up and asked her what business she needed to do. Xu Youyuan said that I would buy electricity.

The staff pointed to the automatic payment machine next to the ATM machine outside and asked her to pay there.

Xu Youyuan, who was relieved, immediately went to the automatic payment machine to pay the bill, inserting both the electricity card and the bank card. When I arrived at the payment page, I kept waiting, and waited for almost a minute before telling her that I had failed.

Withdraw the two cards and try again, every step is slow enough to make you irritable. Finally, I came to the payment page again. After waiting numbly, I declared my failure again.

Xu Youyuan held back his anger and went to find the staff. The staff came over slowly and repeated the same thing that she had done twice a moment ago, but it was still a familiar failure.

"Oh, it may be broken." The staff member said, "Then you can go to the window to handle it with a number."

Looking at the window that had been flooded by the old men and women, Xu Youyuan asked, "Is it the window over there?"

"Yes." The staff had already printed out a small note and handed it to her, "You can go over at any window where your number is called."

The number 1023 was written on the paper, and Xu Youyu looked up at the three windows. The nearest number was 814.

asphyxia.

"I've been to that kind of old-fashioned bank." Agan said, "I used to work in a small company in the suburbs when I first worked, and I often had to go to the bank when I was working. Don't look at the rapid development of technology now, but there are some older people. People really can’t keep up, and don’t like to deal with AI. Old men and women still like to go to the bank to meet people face-to-face."

"Yes!" Xu Youyuan said, "It's that kind of place!"

Sister Hui, who was born in the 1990s, said: "Isn't it normal to go to the bank to queue up for business? You kids, just let you wait and yell."

"It's really not as simple as waiting for a while..."

Xu Youyuan had nowhere to sit while pushing the car, so she stood aside and waited.

From the conversations between the old men and old ladies, I probably heard that half of them have children who go out to work and don’t know how to use apps. Many businesses don’t know how to operate on their mobile phones and come to the bank to ask people. Half of the people want to buy financial products such as treasury bonds and gold, but they don't trust mobile phone software and want to consult someone at the bank.

There are only three windows, no financial manager, and all of them are handled together. People chat for a long time as soon as they sit down, and the teller is slow in no rush. Xu Youyuan waited until her back leg was almost broken, and did not go home until the afternoon.

She and the child are hungry and plan to order takeaway.

Just one dish and one soup is more than sixty yuan, so what kind of takeaway can you eat if you save so much... Xu Youyuan's meat hurts, so it's better to cook it yourself.

Cook the rice, open the refrigerator to see what to eat

There is only a frozen tenderloin and a half-eaten can in the refrigerator, as well as a large bag of pickles.

Xu Youyuan: "..."

"This is just the beginning." Xu Youyuan said to his sympathetic friends, "Cook some porridge with pickles, and eat as soon as you deal with it. However, the pressure on Shiyue's side is even greater."

After Shi Yue entered the game, he found himself in a very small company with an old-fashioned computer in front of him. The dense tables were full of data.

Shi Yue pulled down the form and looked at it. This is the order statistics form. There are many errors but it is very simple. She can quickly modify it.

The small office was very stuffy, filled with the smell of smoke, which made Shi Yue's breathing difficult and his eyes more uncomfortable.

However, the monitor of this broken computer has aged so that it can no longer be aged, and the screen keeps flickering.

Shi Yue insisted on finishing the form, but couldn't save it.

Shi Yue: "?"

The boss walked out of the office, snapped his fingers at Shi Yue, and said impatiently: "How long do you want me to wait?"

Shi Yue has finished, but she can't give it to the boss.

"Two minutes." Shi Yue smiled at him.

Boss: "Within two minutes, if you don't receive the form, you will get out of here."

Shi Yue didn't answer him, and copied the final data directly into the text, and sent the screenshot to the boss.

Afterwards, Shiyue pulled the line behind the display forcefully, and the display screen instantly became blurred.

"What's the matter! Just give me a screenshot? What about the form!" The boss rushed out again.

Shi Yue pointed to the computer that was already screened: "The computer is broken. Fortunately, I rescued the data."

The boss saw that there was indeed a problem with the screen, so he lowered his voice and went back to the office cursingly.

When the boss closed the door, Shi Yue took down the case and did the trick to the end.

It was half past six o'clock, and no one left the office. When Shi Yue sees his colleagues’ tilted computer screens, there are either games or chat windows hidden in them. It takes time to stay here to play and not go home.

This is her least favorite way.

Shi Yue wholeheartedly looked forward to going home and meeting Xu Youyi soon.

You know, this time it's not someone looking for her, they are legal wives! It's a couple! Open the panel to see! Not only did they get married but they also gave birth to children!

Of course people with families have to hurry home to accompany their wives, who cares about being in this ghost class!

Shi Yue wanted to send the banner directly to the project team. Thank you colleagues for fulfilling her many years of wishes.

However, she can't leave yet.

Emotionally speaking, she can't wait to run home immediately to enjoy the warmth and sweetness of home, but she also sees the basic situation of the family now.

The child’s health index is very low. When the scene is set, Xu Youyuan had high blood pressure when she gave birth. She was a little older as a mother, risking her life and finally gave birth to the child. If the child was seriously ill, he would pay for it. She fell ill and couldn't go to work for the time being. The family's income relied on Shi Yuechao's nine-to-nine working overtime and working hard to earn some living expenses.

The scary thing is that their savings are less than one month's salary, and Shiyue has no retreat at all. Before finding a new job, the current job must not be lost.

Biting the bullet and finally holding on until a colleague took the lead to get off work, Shi Yue quickly clocked in and planned to slip home.

"Wait, come here." The boss suddenly appeared again and stopped her, "What are you running? What time is it? Every day you slip the fastest!"

Shi Yue smiled and said, "Boss, do you have any more orders?"

"A lot! Do you want me to do so much work?" The boss loosened his belt and relieved his uncomfortable belly a little bit. "You want to run before I leave, who is it? boss?"

Shi Yue didn't hold the bar with him, and obediently entered the room to lead work, and came out with a bunch of documents.

Damn it, what age is this scene, and the paperless office hasn't been realized yet?

Shi Yue, who was given special care, worked until 8:30 in the evening, and she finished the work temporarily assigned by her boss after everyone had left. The whole building was empty when I left the office.

When entering the last scene, Shi Yue already understood the special mechanism of this scene.

Since it is called the "real world", it is for players to experience real human suffering and test the tacit understanding and love between the two sides in the cruelest life.

Human sperm? nonexistent.

genius? It doesn't exist either.

Similar to the previous two stages, the description of this stage states that the difficulty of the game will be adjusted according to the player's IQ.

Before entering the game, the two of them entered into a closed channel. The scene was loading in front of them. Because there are fifteen years of game time, it takes a little time to load, and the progress bar is much slower than before.

In the process of waiting for the scene to be built, players have a questionnaire to fill out. After filling in, the number of failures in this scene can be increased to four times.

"Shiyue!" Xu Youyuan called Shiyue in a private chat.

Shi Yue said, "Have you seen this questionnaire?"

Xu Youyuan: "I saw it... so there is a limit to the number of times in this scene?"

Shi Yue said: "Yes, but the number of replays is actually not to increase the difficulty, but to reduce the difficulty, which is very for the players. After all, the whole scene will feel like a real life of fifteen years after playing. The player’s mental state may collapse. If you come to us to settle the account, the account will not be counted."

"No wonder there are so many teams participating in the preliminaries stage. In the end, less than one-thousandth of the teams have entered the competition stage. It turns out that there is a elimination mechanism." Xu Youyuan said, "Let's fill out the questionnaire. ."

"Fill, I have already filled it out."

Xu Youyuan glanced at the questionnaire. The questionnaire was very simple. Fill in the real age and occupation and basic user group statistics.

During these normal operations, Xu Youyuan saw a question: "What do you most want to do with your partner in the scene? Answer: Do ____"

Xu Youyuan wrote a word blankly.

It was time for Shi Yue to ask her: "What did you write on the last question?"

Xu Youyuan asked back: "What did you write?"

Shi Yue: "I wrote a word."

"Coincidentally, I also wrote a word. Is there anything tricky about this questionnaire?"

Xu Youyuan's feeling was too keen, and Shi Yue immediately said, "No, no."

"That is there."

"Hey you guy, do you still ask me if you don't believe me?"

"Go in the opposite direction of what you said, and you will get the true answer. Your words are also very useful."

Shi Yue: "..."

After completing the questionnaire, an IQ test must be taken.

IQ test Xu Youyuan has seen an explanation in the scene description. The higher the player's IQ, the more difficult the scene will be.

Xu Youyuan walked forward, and the question came oncoming. She deliberately answered a few wrong questions during the test, and the channel instantly turned red.

[System prompt: Please choose the answer that you really recognize in your mind, otherwise it will be treated as cheating. 】

Helpless, Xu Youyuan had to take a few steps back and choose the correct answer to move on.

The two finally passed the passage and were about to enter the scene. Shi Yue asked Xu Youyi: "How much do you score on IQ?"

"166, how about you?"

"Coincidentally, I am also 166." Shi Yue sighed, "So this means it must be **** difficulty this time."
