Go Ahead If You Can!
Chapter 25
When Zhu Yilong served the five bowls of instant noodles with different flavors, Bai Yu's face went blank. After a while, he burst out laughing. "Brother Long, what are you —?"
"The mission requirements have nothing to do with me."
Zhu Yilong pushed all the blame to the system and handed the chopsticks to Bai Yu with a clear conscience. "Eat. I don't know what flavors you like, so I cooked a bag of each."
"This line sounds familiar," Bai Yu took the chopsticks and tilted his head in thought. He suddenly realized something. "Five bowls of instant noodles in the original novel!
Can this kind of thing become a mission? "
"This kind of mission is very generous when it comes to the contribution points."
Zhu Yilong showed him the mission panel, then pointed at the noodles in front of him and introduced the flavors. "Choose whatever you want!"
Bai Yu was not picky about food. He liked noodles to begin with. He picked up a bowl of noodles, stirred it, and put it in his mouth to taste. He immediately gave Zhu Yilong a thumbs up. "Delicious!"
Zhu Yilong was quite confident in the instant noodles he cooked. He did not put the seasoning packets and noodles into boiling water like many people did. Instead, he dissolved the seasoning packets in additional water, then put the noodles he cooked separately into the prepared soup. The noodles he cooked had the texture of mixed noodles, and the taste was unique.
Not to mention, he also put fresh vegetables and braised slices in the noodles. Whether it was the nutrition or the taste, it was not bad.
However, no matter how confident he was, this was the first time he cooked for Bai Yu, so he was still a little nervous.
When he heard Bai Yu's undisguised praise, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up even higher. His appetite increased, and he ate a bowl of noodles with Bai Yu all night. Soon, he finished all five bowls of noodles.
As for the plate of scrambled eggs that had not been brought out at all, it had long been forgotten by its owner in the kitchen. It was lonely and cold, and greasy tears flowed down, quickly filling the bottom of the plate.
After the two of them finished eating, they went out to work separately. Zhu Yilong bought a new lecturer prop and drove it to class step by step. On the other hand, Bai Yu was racking her brains to think of a way to make Lin Jing take the initiative to mention Su. Then, she would take the opportunity to use it as a breakthrough point and bring people to attack Su's lair.
The two of them lived the lives of Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan respectively. During this period of time, they had gradually become accustomed to this novel pace of life.
Whether it was Shen Wei, Zhao Yunlan, or Jubei, their original identities were as different as heaven and earth. But after all, they were good enough actors, and the roles they played were relatively familiar with. Even if they didn't dare to say that they were like fish in water, at least they wouldn't hear the system's "OOC warning" so easily.
In addition, the two of them were very familiar with the direction of the story of Requiem. Under such circumstances, it was very easy to stop some harmless cases.
In less than two days, Su's case was successfully solved. Under Bai Yu's intentional control, she didn't let Su impulsively cut the story in half and write his own death in the ending. Instead, she pretended to burn incense and invited the Black Robe Messenger. After asking him to "check" Su's situation, she told Su the whole story of the case and cautioned him not to use his supernatural ability to write stories. Finally, the case was finally closed.
At this time, Su hadn't caused many deaths, and the first person who died was also unconsciously killed by him. In this case, it was the police's job to decide how to sentence him.
The Special Investigation Department transferred the case to the police and let them wrap it up. Then, the case was sealed and officially closed.
That night, Bai Yu happily carried half a dozen cans of beer to Zhu Yilong's place and told him the whole process of solving the case.
Although Zhu Yilong also disguised himself as the Black Robe Messenger and participated in the process, he still felt that it was very interesting to hear Bai Yu talk about the whole process.
"I used to think that being an actor would allow you to experience a different life. Now that I've really experienced it, I realize that it's really not easy!"
The two of them nestled on the sofa. Because of objective reasons, they couldn't play online games together. They could only drink tea and talk about the world. Neither of them found it boring.
"When we're filming, we usually act in famous scenes or key scenes. We rarely act in such trivial lives. Even if we act in them, it's mostly to promote the plot or feelings."
Bai Yu carried a beer can and sat on the sofa in a sloppy posture. He stared at the brand logo on the beer can, which was very different from the one in the real world. Suddenly, he laughed. "But this kind of feeling is not bad."
Zhu Yilong kept listening to him talk. He knew that Bai Yu didn't need his response at the moment. He just wanted to express his thoughts.
He picked up the teacup in front of him and slowly took a sip. He knew that the person beside him was a little drunk, but he didn't say anything to stop him. He just quietly listened to him ramble in his ear.
Shen Wei's body couldn't touch alcohol, and Zhu Yilong didn't know how much Zhao Yunlan's body could hold, but he still knew how much Bai Yu could hold.
This guy had the personality of getting himself drunk instead of the alcohol. Once he touched alcohol, his body might not be drunk, but his mind would often be one step ahead of him. Some words that he normally wouldn't dare to say would be said under the influence of alcohol.
Therefore, Zhu Yilong knew that he was drunk from the moment he started talking.
How could Zhu Yilong not feel the same way as Bai Yu?
When he had no choice but to play the role of the black-robed messenger and walk between Earth and Starfish, wasn't he also shocked by this kind of "reality" that was completely different from acting?
Experiencing it personally and acting in a green screen were two completely different concepts. They were indeed at a loss because of this "reality", but at the same time, this "reality" brought them an incomparable sense of immersion.
They thought that their lives were on the right track and they could only act and film step by step. Suddenly, they had such a wonderful journey. This kind of feeling was really strange.
"Brother Long, I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me. When I first came to this world, I really wanted to curse a million times in my heart."
Bai Yu put the beer can on the table and looked at Zhu Yilong. The corners of his mouth twitched. "Later, I found out that the system didn't only screw me over, it also dragged you into it. I really felt bad for a long time."
Zhu Yilong already knew that Bai Yu was particularly conflicted about this matter. However, since he didn't say anything, it wasn't convenient for him to mention it.
Now that the other party finally spoke, he couldn't help but blink. "You —"
"Let me finish." Bai Yu made a gesture to stop him. "Actually, I'm quite selfish.
Other than feeling bad and sorry for you, I'm also very glad.
Fortunately, you're with me, so I don't feel so lonely in this world.
If there's anything, I can discuss it with you. This kind of feeling is really … Sigh, I don't even know what to say. "
Zhu Yilong suddenly laughed. He raised his hand and patted Bai Yu on the shoulder. "I'm also very glad that I came to this world with you.
Soul Suppressing Orb … is the best gift I've ever received in my thirties. Now, this gift has been presented to me in such an ingenious way, and I even have my best brother accompanying me. It feels pretty good. "
"Best friend?" Bai Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at him. "Isn't it Teacher Chen Weidong?"
Zhu Yilong asked him in return, "Have you seen my birthday party?"
"Of course, I care about you so much!"
Bai Yu said as he leaned over to him and bumped him with his shoulder. "What haven't I cared about you before?"
"Oh." Zhu Yilong raised his eyebrows and nodded. He looked at him from the corner of his eye and said teasingly, "So, are you jealous?"
Bai Yu instantly exploded. He was so shocked that he almost woke up from the alcohol. "I-I-I'm jealous!
What's there to be jealous about?! "
Seeing that Da Bai was about to jump up from the sofa in anger, Zhu Yilong smiled and said, "He's my best friend and you're my best friend. There's no conflict."
"Wait — what?" Bai Yu's face was full of disbelief. "Brother Long, are you trying to cheat?
Your fans will cry if you use such a stingy word! "
Zhu Yilong shrugged nonchalantly. "It's not like they can see it.
Or do you want to change to another title?
Tell me, and I'll satisfy you. "
Bai Yu's mouth opened and closed. He instinctively felt that this topic was a little dangerous. "T-t-then … alright, as long as you're happy."
He decisively changed the topic and pulled up the mission panel. "Oh right, I haven't done the daily mission for today. Let's do it now!"
Zhu Yilong had no objections. He watched as Bai Yu accepted the new daily mission. He leaned over to take a look and raised his eyebrows. "Arm around each other's shoulders?"
"This mission is getting weirder and weirder.
Arm around each other's shoulders for more than five seconds? "
Bai Yu tilted his head and read the mission description in disdain. He then turned to look at Zhu Yilong. "Arm around each other's shoulders?"
"Come on."
Zhu Yilong was very calm. He reached out and hooked his arm around Bai Yu's neck. The two of them patted each other on the shoulder like good brothers.
Bai Yu didn't know why, but he suddenly felt a tingling sensation shoot up his spine. He couldn't help but shudder.
Strange, why did he suddenly feel like something was wrong?
They did this a lot, but it was always a subconscious action. It was very normal for good brothers and good friends to put their arms around each other's shoulders.
However, when these unintentional little actions were treated as missions and required to be completed, for some reason, he inexplicably felt a sense of — shame.
Compared to his inexplicable sensitivity, Zhu Yilong didn't seem to notice so much. He even had the leisure to study the remaining missions on the mission panel with his arm around Bai Yu's shoulders.
For the past two days, Zhang Zian had been practicing his cooking skills as soon as he came back at night. In the morning, he tried his best to buy breakfast and share it with Bai Yu. He didn't want Bai Yu to be careless and not eat breakfast again.
At the same time, he struggled to complete the progress bar of the "Cooking" mission.
"We're almost halfway done with the" Cooking "mission, but we still haven't found Zhu Jiu. It seems like we have to work harder."
Zhu Yilong pointed at the time-limited mission on the mission panel with his free hand. "We have half a month. Even if we can't catch him before we leave this time, we have to catch him the next time we come back. Otherwise, the mission will fail."
Bai Yu absent-mindedly listened to Zhu Yilong's words. They entered his ears but didn't enter his heart. He felt like he had just thought of something that they had neglected for a long time. However, because the thought only flashed through his mind, he couldn't remember it no matter how hard he tried.
What was it?
