Chapter 22

21. Master Tail: Science no longer exists.

Originally, according to Master Tail's idea, it was to try to select those memories that were impressive and contained curio information.

What it didn't expect was that there were quite a few of these memories.

And each one was extremely profound.

There was no way.

It had to check them one by one.

As a result, the first memory taught it a lesson.

"This man... I actually can't see his face clearly?"

Master Tail leaned in, came to the man who was talking to Qingque, and tried hard to push away the fog surrounding the man's face.

But the result made it silent.

Couldn't push it away.

Couldn't push it away at all.

This was not because Qingque couldn't remember clearly, but because the man who was speaking had adopted some means, so that he could hide his tracks even in other people's memory space.

Master Tail had seen this kind of means before, but it could more or less break through a little.

Like this time, it didn't move at all, which was the first time.

"Is this necessary?"

Master Tail muttered, having lost its arrogant momentum just now.

"Forget it, forget it."

"Let's look at the curios."

Master Tail shifted its attention to the conversation between Qingque and the man.

【Qingque: Boss Lin, do you have anything that can let people work while slacking off? Urgently needed!】

【Mysterious Man: Yes, if you stick these two stickers on your eyes, you can do things while dozing off.】

【Qingque: Is it that magical? Let me try!】

As the conversation progressed, the scene changed.

To be precise, Qingque herself changed.

Seeing her put the stickers on her eyes, she entered a special sleep state, but her body didn't stop, moving as if sleepwalking.

But it was very purposeful.

Master Tail watched Qingque stop a star-skiff and then get off after arriving at the station.

The next day.

Even in the Divination Commission, she was processing the work at hand while dozing off.

The key is...

That work was actually done quite well?

As for why Qingque wanted to sleep while working.

Because she had played cards all night last night.

"This state is a bit like being possessed by me; it's a bit peculiar. Next."

【Qingque: Boss! The dozing stickers don't work well!】

【Mysterious Man: Why? Did it cause you to make mistakes at work?】

【Qingque: That didn't happen, it's just that I was almost discovered by my leader that I could do things with my eyes closed! I was almost assigned a heavier task! It really scared me to death! Do you have anything else that can help with slacking off? For example... something that lets me clock in on time and never be late again?】

【Mysterious Man:...】

【Mysterious Man: Take this Mini Signal Light and try it; as long as you press the red light, all movable objects within ten meters will be stopped.】

【Qingque: Sounds okay, but if I can't catch the star-skiff, this ten-meter range isn't enough! Do you have a ten-kilometer one?】

【Mysterious Man: I have one, but can you afford it?】

【Qingque: Sorry, sorry for bothering you.】

【Mysterious Man: Don't go yet, just download an app on your phone and remotely control this Mini Signal Light, won't that work?】

【Qingque: Wonderful! It has to be you, Boss! As long as I put it at the station where the star-skiff passes, and then set the red light to turn on at a fixed time, I won't be afraid of missing the star-skiff again! Hehe~】

"Is this the curio that fixed the Cloud Knights' weapons?"

"There's actually an upgraded version!"

"And it's ten kilometers!"

Master Tail couldn't even imagine what kind of miraculous effect this thing would have if it were placed on the battlefield.

Although it seems to not distinguish between friend and foe, it can still play a big role.

Especially when facing enemies with many long-range physical means, it is completely a natural counter!

"Next, next!"

【Qingque: Boss...】

【Mysterious Man: The Mini Signal Light doesn't work well either?】

【Qingque: It works! But it works too well! The star-skiff at that station stopped at the same time every day, causing the Sky-Faring Commission people to come and investigate several times, almost tearing down the station to rebuild it. You say... do I still dare to use it?】

【Mysterious Man: It was my lack of consideration, not considering the social impact. Hmm, since that's the case, why don't you go to work yourself?】

【Qingque: How to go? Fly?】

【Mysterious Man: Uh-huh~】

【Qingque: Although I'm called Qingque, I'm not a real bird!】

【Mysterious Man: I didn't ask you to fly yourself; try this bamboo-copter. You only need to put it on any part of your body, and it can take you to the sky. The full battery life is enough for you to run ten round trips a day.】

【Qingque: Wow! This works! Fortunately, I'm not afraid of heights!】

"This curio is not that magical..."

Master Tail couldn't help but think.

However, saying so is also because there are other curios that are better.

In fact, the technological content of the bamboo-copter is not low.

Not to mention anything else.

Just the special effect of being able to take the user to fly no matter where it is placed on the body is quite puzzling.

How is it attached?

The subsequent props were also centered on how to slack off; Master Tail had heard of some, and some it hadn't.

However, like the bamboo-copter, they were still within the scope of understanding.

For example, the invisibility cloak.

Yeah, this was used by Qingque to hide her tracks and prevent the bamboo-copter from being exposed.

However, in terms of its function, the Luo Fu itself has means to do it.

And it's easier.

That is the Cloud-Chanting Art of the Vidyadhara.

But the next prop made Master Tail feel shocked.

【Qingque: Boss, save me!】

【Mysterious Man: What's wrong with you?】

【Qingque: I don't know why, but recently the Diviner has been paying more and more attention to me, calculating my whereabouts clearly, even down to the "second"! Don't look at me being able to clock in on time every day, but I actually haven't slacked off properly for half a month!】

【Mysterious Man: Is it that miserable? Wait a moment, let me see what I can do to save you...】

【Mysterious Man: Got it, keep this prop well; whenever you want to slack off, take it out and stick it on your body for one system hour.】

【Qingque: So simple? Why can it help me slack off?】

【Mysterious Man: Because after sticking it on, your sense of presence will be infinitely close to zero, and your Diviner won't think of you during this time. Even if she happens to think of you, she won't be able to calculate where you are, understand?】
