Chapter 213

Actually, Kailifu didn't require Aomo to definitely give them a fully arranged set to unpack.

They just said, '【Little Snake, if you have time, help me solve it】,' which clearly could be answered with 'I really don't have time,' after all, they indeed have quite a few trivial and official matters today.

But considering their mental model of Kailifu, they seriously doubt that Kailifu will come to the Junction Gate area today.

That person is quite fond of playing, and it's highly likely they'll suddenly appear with the mindset of 'scaring themselves,' and then they'll say it's some kind of surprise or something.

They first arrange a moving delivery, then immediately board transportation home, arriving the same day—modern convenient transport can easily achieve this, and even if the courier slacks off a bit and delivers slower, the person might actually arrive before the package.

Aomo, on the other hand, had no doubts about those two colleagues' professionalism, so considering Kailifu might show up soon, Aomo still decided to lend a hand.

But……

"What are all these things……"

After clicking to open the first package, Aomo gazed at the heap of strange objects that suddenly burst forth when the spatial compression spell failed, feeling somewhat at a loss.

The rather specially shaped life-size monster sculptures…… aren't they scary?

Where to put them?

At the doorway or beside the desk?

No energy fluctuations, they look like some kind of local souvenir…… Is this a collection obtained in Heaven's Gate City, or some kind of travel souvenir?

They really don't look like someone who likes traveling, so it's probably the former.

Not the usual modeling clay bag…… Aomo, who hasn't studied this much, didn't move it randomly.

This pile counts as miscellaneous, right?

Not knowing how to deal with it, Aomo first piled it up in the corner and then looked at the second package.

Upon opening and seeing the contents, they at least let out a sigh of relief.

At least this time they knew how to handle the desk and chair parts, as well as technological products like computers and Super Dream readers.

Then came the third package.

Books, estimated at over fifty.

It's hard to judge how studious the other person is, because at a glance you see several flash-covered comic magazines, three of which are special-effects monster related.

Never mind the content; organizing these things is actually not difficult, as every bedroom on the second floor indeed has a bound wall-mounted shelf, suitable for placing books and items.

After Aomo had placed these things, they opened the fourth package.

This time it was special-effects toys, as well as figurines, cups, finished models, dolls, pillows, and the like; the latter made Aomo's expression turn subtle.

It wasn't that there was anything especially explicit of an R18 type; it was simply that the style was somewhat unexpected.

The cute-style dolls and pillows made them again recall that guess that had once left them uncertain.

Looking back at the interior…… computer, chair, books, figurines, standees, cushions, etc., a shut-in's housing essentials are already quite complete, leaving only some extra additions like a lazy-person sofa, as well as the clothing that has stuffed the wardrobe into a mess.

There should be clothing, right?

Aomo's gaze subtly fell on the last package, feeling somewhat hesitant to start.

Forget it, it's not that difficult.

Whether it's a male with a girlish heart or a purely female, it doesn't hinder my just helping to organize luggage—Aomo, who became convinced of this in just a few seconds, knocked open the last package and was then surrounded by dozens of monster display cases stuffed with foam padding.

"?"

Aomo stared blankly at these things, thinking to themselves, 'I thought I had arrived at Round Valley No. 8 Exhibition Hall, but the things are different, huh?'

No… upon closer look, it actually leans more toward Kailifu's room in the VR chat room, except that the monster models in the display cases differ somewhat.

Aomo examined those models, rubbing their nose.

They clearly like this kind, and their room's monster models can attest.

So they even started appraising them right there.

The Moth Super Beast Deragri, the Light Monster Plitzm, the Bloodsucking Monster Kimayinra, etc., really do seem like an old-school yet special focus, though the more popular Gomora and Godzilla types are not absent.

But there are also some they haven't seen before, colorful monsters.

This made them curious, so they first set it up, removed the protection, and examined the metal plaque on the display case.

"Monster Gurukiras, blazing with immense aura."

"Monster Goyabek, full of disasters and hardships."

"Monster Kiliber, shrouded in gloomy resentment."

"Monster Mechanical Gurukiras, returning with a vengeance…? What are these supposed to be?"

Is the prefix a complaint or part of the name?

Aomo didn't understand at all, and this constant four-word prefix even made them think of Ludaofu Xiangzheng—

——They are also someone who loves four-word phrases, though their performance in cold jokes is far more impressive than their obscure four-word phrases.

Of course, the most incomprehensible thing is that, despite their interest in monsters, they have no impression of these monsters at all…… Could they be Kailifu's original creations?

Aomo fell into contemplation.

These monster models impacted them far more than the question of whether Kailifu is male or female.

They think these monster designs are also quite good, but since monster designs usually revolve around some negative trait or emotion, looking at these makes them very doubtful of Kailifu's mental state.

Furthermore, this differs considerably from their previous mental model of Kailifu.

Looking at these monsters' shapes and names, they always feel they can see someone somewhat manic and hysterical.

This person is young and prone to obsessing over details; their fickle personality might be due to endocrine imbalance, or perhaps they were driven to madness by reality's blows—such a person is more likely to appear in the hometown described by Bi Ze, rather than in this world.

The unregulated ecology of the lower strata of the Junction Gate's exotic region might be able to cultivate such a character, but such a character would absolutely not have the developmental process to create these monsters, because if they had such ability they would inevitably stand out.

This world and this era have given monster enthusiasts a great deal of tolerance.

Such tolerance is enough to shatter the vessel that nurtures madness, preventing it from developing further midway.

Then, what other possibilities are there?

"……" Aomo silently turned their head, looking at the other pillars.

Only then did he notice that inside those pillar-like display cases, a lot of familiar research equipment had actually been mixed in.

If it weren't for someone like Ailisuzhi, who takes responsibility as a horse girl, Aomo wouldn't be so familiar with these things.

These two guys could now exchange experimental results offline, right? His train of thought was slightly interrupted by such a lighthearted idea, and Aomo began placing those instruments on the table on the other side —

— Kailifu originally said ta intended to come help with research, so Aomo also prepared a large table for ta.

However, Aomo still had a new unexpected discovery among this.

That was the notebook protected by layers of bubble wrap, with the monthly ticket clip hanging on it.

He didn't flip through the notebook, nor did he pick up the monthly ticket clip; he merely observed its surface for a few seconds, then turned back to look at the room furnishings he had already set up.

Although he hadn't asked Kailifu for input, he simply arranged the room based on his own guess.

He didn't even put a sheet on the bed, simply placing those stuffed animal pillows on top.

But looking at the room furnishings he had set up, he suddenly realized he could use the feel of those few monsters from earlier as a core, supplemented by some speculation to understand the furnishings here.

Although it was just a hypothesis, the logical chain had already been laid out, and there was evidence available to fill it in.

He could imagine a figure in such a room, concentrating on sketching a model with those tools that came in the same package as the figures, and also imagine that figure sitting at a computer, pounding an old keyboard and laughing loudly at the screen.

That figure also often stood by the display case, gazing at the monster models inside.

Then…

Manchester Chazuo: 【Time's up, I took Suzi for training】

A sudden light screen made him stare, breaking him from that unconscious observation.

Yuehuanshe: 【Understood, thanks for your hard work; I have some matters outside, I'll return later, but if needed I can rush back immediately】

Manchester Chazuo: 【No need, today is just strength training】

Indeed… Aomo looked at Manchester Chazuo's reply, thinking that precisely because of this, he might have time to help lighten the load for those senior colleagues at Penguin Logistics.

He also thought that although this child usually spoke slowly and softly, fortunately electronic messaging didn't have so many pauses and omissions.

Yuehuanshe: 【Alright, but remember to call me if any unexpected situation arises; I believe Suzi won't be too obedient】

Manchester Chazuo: 【Hmm】

Such a terse word actually hit Aomo's funny bone, making him burst into laughter as he turned off the communicator and then turned to look at the room, which was roughly set up.

Let Kailifu handle those miscellaneous items himself.

He glanced at the box piled up in the corner, with no intention of examining it further.

After all, this was already somewhat overstepping.

He was supposed to just help with the setup, but he unconsciously began observing and thinking, even having already touched upon a sketch.

If it were Zhouri Ningjing, she would probably have already started.

After all, this older sister clearly has some stories that have made her mental walls thick; she dislikes being investigated, considering the value of 'Black Sunday' as well as Qianming's surveillance, and she might indeed have some unspeakable secrets.

As for Kailifu's words…

Maybe there is too?

Occasionally he would come out with some seemingly plausible but actually dangerous remarks, making Aomo feel that ta truly lived up to the avatar in the VR chat room.

But since they're still in school and have even been checked by the Two Worlds Safety Bureau, there's no need to worry too much.

For now, let's leave it at that.

Thinking this, he walked out the door and went back to the first floor.

He put aside the broken train of thought and his gains, then turned to lock the door and get in the car, pulling up Penguin Logistics' internal channel and work app.

As a temporary worker, for now I'm not here to add achievements to the work log; rather, I should first establish good relations.

【By the way, the best app for listening to audiobooks currently is the source-switching app; install the latest version of. huanyuanapp.】

Penguin Logistics is the main undertaking of the transmigrators; Miss Texas, Miss Angel, and others are undoubtedly transmigrators.

Although he also has some information about them and their homeland in his mind, let's not discuss reliability issues; the information itself is rather incomplete.

He really wants to learn more about otherworldly things; what he wants to get in touch with is not only Penguin Logistics, but also Rhodes Island Pharmaceutical Limited Company.

But that's still somewhat far off.

First, go to Penguin Logistics to report and receive the basic courier equipment before discussing further.

——Buzz!

Order taken, the engine hums.

The temporary worker at Penguin Logistics starts work.
