Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Little Potato Comes to Check the Room, It's Over!
Now, Yae Miko was very sure that she had not misheard, someone was indeed Furina's dog.
After she burst out laughing, she noticed Zhuqing's cheeks flushing.
The latter silently opened the browser to cover the desktop wallpaper, and said guiltily, "You don't understand, Furina is my spiritual belief."
Kirara blinked in disbelief, looking at the star-like shimmering light in front of her: "This is called a projector? How is Lady Furina on it?"
Zhuqing hummed, pretending to be calm, and said softly, "Now, let me introduce you to this world."
Then, he briefly introduced the world's structure, technology, culture, and nations, as well as his own identity.
Of course, he wouldn't mention the system, that secretive thing, only saying that he had special means to find people from Teyvat.
After learning that Zhuqing was just an ordinary human, Yae Miko said with a smile, "You won't be ordinary anymore."
Zhuqing smiled and admitted, "It's you who are extraordinary, not me... Miko might be more suitable to be an editor-in-chief."
Yae Miko said softly, as if comforting him, "That's not necessarily true. The writing styles popular in Teyvat and Blue Star are different. It's better to be a butler!"
The two were talking with great interest, but Kirara on the side didn't seem very enthusiastic. Zhuqing knew what she was worried about.
Noticing this, Zhuqing changed the subject and asked, "By the way, Miko, will someone take over Kirara's undelivered packages in Teyvat?"
Yae Miko's reassuring voice came from his ear, "Of course, don't worry. I have acquaintances at Komaniya too."
Hearing this, Kirara's eyes lit up a bit, and she asked, "Really? Lady Miko!"
Yae Miko chuckled, "Little kitty, when have I ever lied to you? Isn't that right?"
Zhuqing turned to look at Kirara. Her emerald green eyes were sparkling like stars, as clear as a summer spring.
After letting go of her worries, Kirara finally showed a bright smile, "But... Zhuqing, what kind of job do you think is good for me?"
As she spoke, Kirara began to imagine her future job, "I hope it's a job where I can run around, I want to see the scenery of this world!"
Hearing this, Zhuqing showed a kind smile. He had finally hit the jackpot. He was worried that she would find the job too tiring.
Zhuqing said leisurely, "Well, I have a great idea."
"What idea?"
"Delivering food!"
"Delivering food?"
At this moment, Zhuqing felt like a shady middleman, trying to trick an innocent girl into working in a black factory.
But for the rent, for completing the system task, for helping Kirara adapt to the real world, for saving the world...
Based on countless reasons, he had to do it.
Zhuqing nodded, and with a flick of his fingers, he brought up the "Delivery Driver" job: "Yes, it's very similar to your previous job."
Kirara's eyes sparkled as she stared at the screen, her two tails behind her wagging like crazy, constantly hitting Zhuqing's shoulder.
She looked at the video introduction of the job, her breathing began to quicken, flying around the city, saving college students who were about to starve to death...
Zhuqing didn't mind, and asked with a smile, "How is it?"
Yae Miko on the side said faintly, "It looks a bit tiring, and the little cat is too different from humans in appearance."
Zhuqing nodded: "Indeed, but it's autumn now, she can cover up by wearing more clothes, it shouldn't be a problem."
Kirara nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, this job is great! And I like human society, and I especially like the satisfied smiles of customers when they receive their goods, so let's do this job! Please, please!"
The little cat tightly grabbed Zhuqing's shoulders with both hands, as if she wouldn't let go if he didn't agree.
「Job suitability detected as 85%」
After hearing the system notification, Zhu Qing nodded with a smile, "Okay, let's take this job then, I'll try it for a month first."
Now Zhu Qing has received 3,600 funds from the system, which is enough to pay three months' rent for now.
Although he still has several thousand in his balance and a seven-figure sum in his fixed deposit, who would lower their living standards just to pay rent?
However, because Kirara has not yet started her job, Zhu Qing cannot receive her task completion reward for the time being.
Seeing that both of them had made their decisions, Yae Miko didn't say anything more, chuckling, "Little ones, don't regret it later."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
"Zhu Qing, are you home? I'm here to find you!"
Yae Miko leaned lazily on the sofa, turning to Zhu Qing with a knowing look, "Zhu Qing, who is the girl outside the door?"
"It's the landlady, Little Potato." Zhu Qing said seriously, his eyes fixed on the slime that was deformed under the sofa pillow.
Soon, he shifted his gaze to the door, "I haven't paid rent for six months, she's probably here to collect the debt."
"Landlady?"
Yae Miko narrowed her eyes, smiling as she leaned close to Zhu Qing's ear, her breath like orchids, "I don't think it's that simple, is it?"
Zhu Qing clicked his tongue at Yae Miko, signaling the two to hide in the storage room, "Keep quiet, don't say anything."
After shifting his gaze from the two curious little faces of Kirara and Yae Miko, Zhu Qing slammed the door shut.
"Coming!"
Zhu Qing yelled and quickly went to open the door, "Good morning, Xiaoyan, what's up?"
The little potato in front of him, Chen Xiaoyan, has known Zhu Qing for two and a half years. When she has nothing to do, she likes to go around and disturb Zhu Qing's rest.
She is clearly fair-skinned and cute, like a porcelain doll that everyone loves, but only with Zhu Qing, she has suffered a lot of setbacks.
Chen Xiaoyan curiously tiptoed and looked into the house. She seemed to have heard a girl's voice inside? Is Zhu Qing hiding a beauty?
Zhu Qing, as if not noticing, stood firmly at the door and asked blankly, "What's the matter?"
Realizing the change in Zhu Qing's tone, Chen Xiaoyan reacted and said coquettishly, "Zhu Qing, I have something to tell you."
"Speak."
"Aren't you going to invite me in to sit down?"
"Please come in."
As Chen Xiaoyan walked towards the sofa, she asked worriedly, "Are you okay last night? I heard your first love was forcing you to drink a lot!"
Zhu Qing closed the door and said frankly, "It was a one-sided first love. I have no feelings for her, I just see her as a brother."
Chen Xiaoyan sat on the sofa with a strange smile, "Really? You have no feelings for her at all?"
Zhu Qing shrugged, "Love is too dangerous these days. I'd rather die alone, at least I'll die with a clear conscience."
Chen Xiaoyan nodded with satisfaction, sniffing, "Why are you drawing the curtains and turning on the projector in broad daylight? Watching a movie? It doesn't smell like it either..."
Zhu Qing smiled faintly, ignoring Chen Xiaoyan's rambling: "Little B, please draw the curtains and turn off the projector."
"Roger that."
The little guy in the speaker was always Zhu Qing's best helper.
Zhu Qing poured two glasses of water for each of them and sat on the sofa opposite Chen Xiaoyan: "So, what brings you here?"
Chen Xiaoyan pretended not to hear, comfortably leaning back on the sofa, but suddenly smelled a charming cherry blossom fragrance, and her expression changed.
There's another girl's perfume!
After hesitating for a moment, she looked at Zhu Qing suspiciously: "You didn't bring any girls back last night, did you? My brother said you got drunk."
Chen Xiaoyan's brother and Zhu Qing were high school classmates. They attended the same class reunion last night, so it's not surprising that he knew what happened at the party.
Zhu Qing said without changing his expression: "Girls? Impossible! But getting drunk... that did happen, I drank myself into oblivion."
Chen Xiaoyan didn't see any guilt on Zhu Qing's face, and cautiously covered his forehead with her hand: "It's good you don't have a fever."
Zhu Qing retorted helplessly: "Drinking doesn't cause a fever... Also, what did you come to see me for?"
This straight man asked the same question four times, it's unbelievable! Can't I just come to chat with you?!
Chen Xiaoyan crossed her arms, feeling annoyed, and leaned back on the soft sofa cushion, deliberately making things difficult for him: "You still owe me six months' rent!"
Zhu Qing made an OK gesture, then took out his phone and transferred three months' rent to her.
The three thousand six just received, gone just like that.
A slight pang went through Zhu Qing's heart.
