Time manager

Fortunately, even though Lian Ping escaped, he was serious about going to work.So the borrowing desk quickly returned to calm, and everything went on in an orderly manner.

People browse quietly, step lightly consciously, and occasionally communicate with each other in a low voice, time seems to go slowly.

What a peaceful and beautiful paradise... Shi Jing thought to herself.

But the good times are always short.Soon after get off work time came, Lian Ping followed up chirping again.

"What's Teacher Shi doing tonight? Let's go shopping first! I'll help! Then I'll take care of all the vegetables and dishes!!"

"unnecessary."

"Hey, you're welcome!"

"You're welcome, you're too much of a hindrance."

"It's so sad...then I'll just have to wait to eat with reluctance."

"..."

Speaking of which, they obviously went to see the house, so they bought vegetables on the way, why did they discuss dinner?

Shi Jing quickened his pace and entered the community. He gave Lian Ping a vaccination first: "Be careful of the top of your head."

"Ah??" Lian Ping looked up subconsciously, walking all the way, and found no suspicious falling objects.After a while, I don't know what fell into my eyes, it was cold and a little painful.

Did someone sprinkle water downstairs?

But soon he knew what it was.

Dark clouds gathered in the sky from nowhere, and the wind picked up. It was sunny just now, but now it started to rain. The raindrops were big and fast.

No wonder it hurts so much.Lian Ping hurriedly followed Shi Jing's footsteps, ran into the apartment building, and escaped the heavy rain.

Shi Jing looked at the sky, and was a little surprised that the rain fell after he entered the door today.

He sent Lian Ping to Room 1108, asked him to communicate with the owner, and then went home with the vegetables.Otherwise, it would be strange for Lian Ping to eat on time.

And today, I have to save some time to make a meal for two people, otherwise I won't be able to catch up with the meal.

Fortunately, he bought a roast duck, so he could cook one less dish of meat.Originally, Shi Jing had a bad stomach and hardly ate outside food, but this plum duck was an exception.The duck skin was crispy just right.The plum sauce is the owner's exclusive secret recipe. After pouring it on, the duck meat is sour and sweet but not greasy. If Shi Jing didn't control his diet, he could eat more than half of it by himself.

He changed the roasted duck into a plate and put it in the microwave, and started to cook other dishes in an orderly manner.

While he was concentrating on cutting vegetables, he suddenly felt that the light was a little weaker.

At the same time, the notes said: [Time stands still. 】

Time stopped, the oil in the pot ran out, and the range hood stopped working.

Shi Jing put down the kitchen knife and asked, "What's wrong?"

[The power will be cut off in the next second. 】

Shi Jing frowned.The power supply in the community here is very stable, and every power outage will be notified in advance, why is it so sudden this time.

Most of the kitchen utensils he uses are electronic products. This power outage is troublesome, and the rice seems to be uncooked.I don't know how long to stop. If I stop like this, dinner may be late.

How about going out to eat?Shi Jing was thinking about it, and wrote in the note: [The owner can touch the item to unlock it for a part of the time. 】

Partially unlocked...was that what he thought?Shi Jing tried to press the range hood, and it started to work.Picking up the pan, the oil star splashed again.As long as he touched things, they all returned to normal operation.

This is quite convenient... Shi Jing put himself into cooking again with confidence, and took out the spare power lamp after everything was served, before saying, "It's done."

[Static release. 】

The lights went out instantly.The entire apartment complex was plunged into darkness, startling residents.

In the dark, Lian Ping held the signed contract with a gloomy expression.

The owner of the house on the opposite side was stunned: "Ah! Why is there a sudden power outage. I have lived here for more than a year, and it has never stopped. Brother, you don't have to worry, it should... you should call in a while!"

Lian Ping looked at the brilliant lights of the opposite building, and restored his smile and said, "Ah, it's nothing, and this is beyond our control. Besides, I signed the contract, and I can go back on my word. Don't worry too much."

The homeowner treated him better, apologized repeatedly, and asked him to find a flashlight to go out.Lian Ping turned on the phone's light and left.

In the dark corridor, Lian Ping put away his smiling face, walked slowly up the stairs, and said wearily, "Tan Tong, did you do this!"

"Yes, the host, you rejected the help from your former friend Liu Ke, and the punishment you received was: 12 hours of unlucky or paralyzed. I think luck is relatively unimportant to the host, so I made a choice without authorization. If you If you feel dissatisfied, you can complain +1 to me."

"Is it useful? I complained to you once, and it's fine if your authority is reduced by one level and hinders me from doing tasks, and the punishment system will be upgraded by one level." Lian Ping said with a sneer.

"Yes, you have complained three times so far. Now the punishment system belongs to the kid level. If you accumulatively complain ten times, you will enter the nightmare level. If you accumulatively complain [-] times, you will enter the hell level..."

"Okay, I get it." Lian Ping interrupted the communication of consciousness in his brain.

He went up to the 12th floor, and was about to look for the house number, but in the darkness not far away, Shi Jing had already opened the door, holding a lamp in his hand, looking at his watch from time to time, as if he had been waiting there, seeing him , immediately beckoned.

Lian Ping was stunned for a moment, hurried over, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Shi, I accidentally chatted with the landlord, have you waited long?"

Shi Jing ushered him in and said matter-of-factly, "Ten minutes."

Lian Ping made another series of apologies, and then said: "By the way, Teacher Shi, where is your cell phone? Save the number, and if you are late again next time, just call me."

"No next time." Shi Jing said very rudely, and then added, "You are not late."

He originally wanted to go down to find someone, but he was in the dark, and he was afraid that Lian Ping would come up and pass by at some point, and he would not know if he missed it, so he just guarded the gate.

"Oh." Lian Ping instantly forgot about the power outage.Seeing that Shi Jing's house is not dark, there are several small decorative lamps on the two walls of the dining room, which just illuminate the dining table and do not interfere with eating.

Shi Jing seemed to see his curiosity, and took the initiative to explain: "The emergency lights have been modified, and I have a backup power supply."

For unlucky people, power outages and water outages are commonplace, so Shi Jing is fully prepared after a long period of devastation.

Lian Ping sighed, if it wasn't for the power outage, he seemed to want to take the opportunity to visit the house.

Shi Jing reminded him, "It's time to eat," before suppressing his curiosity.

Lian Ping said while eating: "Does Teacher Shi not have a mobile phone?"

here we go again.Shi Jing said succinctly: "Yes, I don't."

"Why? It's so convenient to carry a mobile phone with you."

"I don't have anyone I need to contact at any time." Shi Jing said.

Because of his bad luck, he had no friends since he was a child. Although his parents didn't dislike his unlucky son, he didn't want to hurt his family if he got unlucky, so he lived alone all the time, and would call every month to ask his elder brother if he was safe.Parents are also familiar with his schedule, even if there is something to do, they will pick him to call when he is at home.

"What if there is something urgent at home?" Lian Ping asked unwillingly.

"I mentioned it to you." Shi Jing said slowly, "I am a very unlucky person. Especially when the regular schedule is broken, I will be very unlucky."

Lian Ping said in a daze, "So if your family has something urgent to ask you to go back...

"It means that I have to ask for leave, and my work schedule will be disrupted. I will be unlucky, and they will also be unlucky." Shi Jing analyzed it for him seriously, and listed some tragic deeds for him back then.

Lian Ping listened carefully on the surface, but he was terrified in his heart. He knocked on his own system and said, "Hey, all, Mr. Shi has also accepted the system task, right?! Why can he say it? I can't?"

"The host wait a moment." The system said, and said after a while: "I didn't detect the quest line on him."

Then he warned again: "Please don't try to leak the system tasks, the host, otherwise, next time, I won't help you relieve the pain."

Lian Ping recalled the failure of the mission and couldn't help complaining with Fa Xiao, and then he had his gut pierced on the spot and bled, scaring people away.The pain, the feeling of being treated as a monster, still lingers, so he said depressingly, "I know."

If Teacher Shi wasn't so unlucky because of the system task punishment, it would be too miserable.

Lian Ping thought with a sigh, after hearing Shi Jing's "deeds", he said very understandingly: "So you will only add to the chaos when you go back, right?"

"Yeah. So..." Shi Jing paused, "After this meal, you'd better stay away from me in the future."

"..."

It was the first time that Lian Ping had a bad meal, and now he ate honestly and stopped chasing for his mobile phone number.

And while he was eating, the system in his mind said sarcastically: "The host understands now, it's not good to know too much about some things."

I dare not stay any longer.

It wasn't that he was afraid of being implicated, but... He remembered that his punishment time hadn't come yet!If it affects Shi Jing, it will be bad.

So Shi Jing found that after he said those words, the lively Lian Ping suddenly turned into a silent little lamb, smacking his head and eating, and unexpectedly didn't talk too much after eating, and said goodbye quickly.He didn't even let Shi Jing see him downstairs, and ran away in a hurry.

Then Shi Jing heard a scream in the stairwell.

Going down to see, this guy sprained his ankle and fell again.

Shi Jing helplessly helped and said, "I told you not to leave in such a hurry. After spraining, be careful, it's easy to sprain again. Apply some medicine before leaving. I'll call you a car to go back later."

"No, no need!" Lian Ping quickly jumped away, "hissed" in pain, and then forced a smile and said: "When I was in school, I was the champion of one-leg hops! I can do it with one foot. Jump back!"

Then he went downstairs in a panic.

Shi Jing really convinced this brat.

He closed the door, always feeling that Lian Ping was very strange today.Could it be... after hearing the story, he was frightened by his evil luck?

But he didn't dwell on it for long, when the electricity suddenly came and the lights were bright, so he forgot about it and devoted himself to supplementing the thesaurus of his notes.

It's just that he didn't expect that Lian Ping came to work on crutches the next day.
