Chapter 14 Her Story with Mu Chen?

Exiting the virtual space, Mingmei lay quietly on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Yan Hui’s words weighed on Mingmei, but she truly had no memory of it.

How could she not remember?

Such a handsome guy?

“Guigui, do you think people really have past and present lives? Do you think my uncle was implying that Mu Chen and I knew each other in a previous life?”

There was no one around Mingmei late at night, so someone had to listen to her train of thought.

Therefore, she pulled out her own AI to chat.

[Host, you, who came from a cultivation world, are asking me, a product of a high-tech world, such a question. Don't you think that's outrageous?] Guigui was still browsing and gossiping in their AI forum late at night, but halfway through, it was dragged out by its host to listen to this?

Hearing Mingmei ask such a question, it didn't know where to start for a moment.

The topic was too hot to handle.

[If I believed in that, I'd have to suspect I did something terrible in my past life to be reincarnated as an AI.]

Guigui immediately added.

“The way you say that makes it sound like you're suffering with me.”

Mingmei didn't think she had ever mistreated Guigui. Among their family, there were only a handful with systems or AIs.

“Your treatment among the systems and AIs in our family is in the top three, okay?”

[There are only four in total, and I'm in the top three… Host, you might as well count from the bottom.]

Her parents and sister all had them, and Mingmei was sure that she was the easiest host among the few in her family.

[That's because you're a salted fish, and I have no desires, so we get along well and think the other is pretty good.]

As for the systems or AIs that ended up with Mingmei's family, except for Six-Six, who had already transformed into a human and had enough freedom, Guigui had long admired the other two, even though it had never officially met them, and it agreed with some of their statements.

Mingmei's family were all difficult characters!

After all, all the systems or AIs working in various planes were in the same forum, used to share experiences, and knew roughly what was going on, as long as you were "willing" to share.

Sharing was actually complaining about how their clients were lawless when it came to completing tasks.

Even if everyone had anonymous accounts and often fearlessly called out their hosts for not doing human things, those who knew each other could recognize who posted those anonymous posts at a glance.

And Guigui didn't say how powerful its system network was, but it knew what these few people it knew were doing in the forum very early on.

Therefore, when Mingmei compared herself to her family, if Guigui had a human expression, it would probably be the subway grandpa looking at his phone.

Numb.

Wasn't this comparing who's worse?

“Don't get off topic, Guigui. Do you think Mu Chen and I knew each other before?”

Guigui: […Host, have you forgotten? You only bonded with me after you came to the Interstellar Era.]

In other words, Guigui really didn't know.

Mingmei: "..."

She had forgotten that she felt like she had been partners with her AI for many years.

[Host, instead of suspecting whether you and Mu Chen had a past life, why not suspect that you actually knew each other in the previous world? You've never asked him about his past and whether it's related to you, have you?]

Guigui's words were a wake-up call.

Mu Chen had also said that his age seemed to be "falsified" like hers, and that the things Mu Chen knew and many of his habits didn't seem like someone from this era.

However, Mingmei couldn't believe her guess: "Back then, in order to take me out of that world, my parents both had the strength to ascend. They forcibly shattered the ascension ladder and broke through the void during ascension, and with the help of Godfather Main Brain, they were able to bring me here. Could it be that he was some kind of old ancestor before? Otherwise, how could he have the strength to come here?"

Mingmei's imagination suddenly expanded, thinking of the age problem of cultivators in the cultivation world.

After all, geniuses like her parents were rare.

She remembered that there were only a few people in that world who could be compared to her parents, and they were all old monsters who had lived for thousands of years.

If Mu Chen was really one of those people, wouldn't it be her, "old cow," eating young grass, but her, the little cabbage, being taken advantage of by some old pig?

"That's not right. If that were the case, my parents wouldn't be so calm."

Mingmei still felt that her line of thinking was wrong.

Her father's reaction didn't seem like it.

[Then just ask Mu Chen directly~]

Guigui thought being direct was the best.

“Then I might as well wait to play the game.”

Guigui: [???]

You freaking chatted with me for so long late at night just to come to this conclusion?!!

……

On Mu Chen's side, he had already received the news from Yan Hui, and he actually felt a sense of relief.

"Looking at you, it seems like you're ready to confess everything?"

Yan Hui was still connected to his video call, and it was the first time Yan Hui realized that he had the potential to be a matchmaker.

"To be honest, I didn't expect Meimei to be so patient. She hasn't asked you about your past in person. Although she has tested me several times... otherwise, she wouldn't have suppressed that thing to the point where it is now."

Yan Hui took a sip of strong tea late at night, looking like he was going to work overtime tonight.

"If she had asked me earlier, I wouldn't have known how to open my mouth. You know that I gave many of the detailed memories of the past to that person in the game."

When Yan Hui saw Mu Chen "released from prison," he saw that he was just barely holding on, enduring everything. His mental and psychological state was extremely suppressed, and he was afraid that he would just die as soon as he came out.

Therefore, Yan Hui and the Main Brain used some technology to specifically strip away all the negative emotions in the game, which naturally also randomly stripped away some of his memories.

Some past memories that had driven him crazy.

Yan Hui even "made use of waste," sorting out his negative emotions and memories, and then designed a game for it.

However, before the game was released, the NPC with Mu Chen's emotions and memories awakened early.

It was outrageous!

Yan Hui couldn't figure out why he had awakened early before, but now he knew it was because of the Zerg.

Fortunately, the game world was now firmly held down by Yan Hui and not open to the public.

"Anyway, if Meimei goes in, she will definitely know what you did in the past. Your goal is different from Meimei's. While finding the Zerg, you also have to hold down 'yourself,' understand?"

Yan Hui didn't beat around the bush or try to persuade Mu Chen when he spoke to him. If he didn't do well, his wife would run away.

“I naturally know.”

After closing the video call, Mu Chen stood on the balcony, blowing the gentle evening breeze, looked up at the star tracks that were completely different from that world, smiled softly, and took out a tortoise shell from the space button, from which he randomly dropped three copper coins.

“Hmm, doesn’t seem like a good omen.”
