"Ahem...Hey, Xiao Tao, oops...hiss..."
The steel cover above his head had been removed, and Xu Fei stood in the water tank and leaned his head out to avoid the steam.
He held the phone carefully, fearing that his hand would shake and drop it into the water.
"Brother Fei~ There is a lot of translation content this time. I would like to discuss with Sister Leiyin the completion date. Is it convenient for you? The company can arrange the follow-up configuration work." Assistant Xiao Tao asked tentatively.
Because they learned about Leiyin, several other project teams in the company also made outsourcing requests.
Then she suddenly compiled the translation content of 50,000 words, which caught her completely off guard.
Considering Leiyin's abnormal translation speed, it's difficult to estimate the construction period, so I asked in advance.
Although Xiao Tao also has Leiyin's phone number, the cold beauty is really difficult to contact.
Whenever something happened, he would just contact Xu Fei directly. Anyway, the two of them were looking for different people.
"Hey...I...ah, what's wrong with me..."
Because he was holding back the pain, Xu Fei felt a little awkward when speaking.
"?..."
Listening to this weird gasping sound, after a few seconds of silence on the phone, Xiao Tao's apology came:
"Ah~~~Brother Fei, I'm sorry, I didn't know you and Sister Leiyin were...call me later!"
Toot toot.
"Wait! Don't hang up! You seem to have misunderstood something?!"
Xu Fei's eyes widened, and he instantly understood what the other party was thinking, and quickly called back.
The phone was connected, and Xiao Tao's weak voice came: "Brother Fei is so fast..."
"What's so fast?! I'm very persistent! Don't think blindly! I ate spicy hotpot in the morning, and now I'm upset!"
Xu Fei gritted his teeth and finally finished speaking in one breath, trying not to make any strange sounds in the middle.
"...Oh." A dubious voice came from the phone.
"Leiyin has something to do in her hometown and is going back to China temporarily. I don't know how long she will be back. Regarding the translation, I will call you after I contact her."
Big beads of sweat fell from time to time on Xu Fei's forehead, and he tried his best to speak calmly, but his voice was slightly trembling.
"That's it, okay, the company is not in a hurry."
"Brother Fei, I won't disturb you for now. Take a good rest... and remember to take your medicine."
He breathed a long sigh of relief, hung up the phone and threw the phone to Liu Ying, who was suppressing a smile.
"Hahaha, no, Xiao Fei, are you very fast? Hahaha." Liu Ying covered her stomach and kept laughing.
"Almsgiver Xu, this poor monk thinks that life has a long road, and haste makes waste."
Monk Kewu suggested with a serious face, as if he really didn't understand their conversation just now.
Xu Fei closed his eyes and sat back in the water, not wanting to talk to them.
A whole week...
No matter how Xu Fei wailed and screamed, the three of them remained indifferent and could be described as having a heart of stone.
As a result, apart from having diarrhea, he also spent time eating, drinking and sleeping in the big tank.
Of course, at first I wanted to run away every time I went to the toilet, but these three guys were just too strong...
After a week of torture, Xu Fei had become somewhat accustomed to the triple bath of ice, fire, and thunder in the large vat.
At least the pain was reduced to a tolerable level.
Sometimes, there is no harm without comparison. How could he have endured this kind of torture before.
Compared to the initial feeling of life being worse than death.
The current level of pain is simply the difference between heaven and hell, nothing more.
Liu Ying looked at the time, took out a talisman with a smile, and threw it over the water tank.
Xu Fei clicked his tongue and quickly put his head in his hands.
The surface of the talisman glowed brightly, and several small thunderbolts fell from the sky and penetrated into the water.
呲呲呲.
Electric arcs flashed throughout the vat, and this was the 281st time Xu Fei experienced the feeling of twitching all over his body.
During this period of time, Taoist Chang would use a thunder technique on him every half hour.
Since Longhu Mountain called him back to the mountain to discuss matters, Liu Ying was given a small thunder talisman as a replacement.
He thought that as long as Chang Luofeng could see Leiyin, he might receive a call from her in the afternoon.
Xu Fei felt a little expectant, and the pain in his body seemed to have eased a lot.
About ten minutes later, Monk Kewu reminded with a smile: "Donor Xu, it's time to type the code."
Xu Fei raised his head listlessly and looked at the computer about three meters away from him.
This was specially moved by Monk Shang, and it took five or six power strips to connect it to the power supply.
According to the monk, this state is the most suitable for honing consciousness.
The specific method was also very simple. He asked Chang Luofeng to teach Xu Fei Daomen's basic object control skills first.
Then let Xu Fei choose something he is usually good at and change it to consciously controlling objects.
The cost of understanding the art of object control is so low that even spiritual beasts can master it, but the cost of mastering it is so high that even powerful people like Lao Tianshi cannot reach the level of subtlety.
Even in this torturous state, it only took Xu Fei about ten minutes to learn it.
Close your eyes, extend your consciousness, attach it to the computer, and turn on the power...
Not long after, the black-axis keyboard specially replaced by Monk Kewu started typing automatically.
An inanimate substance like a keyboard cannot actively shield or resist the consciousness of a living body.
Therefore, entry-level rookies like Xu Fei can also perform simple object-controlling behaviors such as pressing a button.
In the evening, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
After Liu Ying and Monk Kewu finished dinner, they returned to the living room to play game consoles.
Xu Fei's stomach growled with hunger, and he barely controlled a half-finished grilled sausage, flipping it left and right above the magma.
He wanted to add some cumin and black pepper, but he didn't dare.
Liu Ying gave him a bag of five sticks in total.
Considering his current ability to control objects, the sausage is too heavy.
When I tried to sprinkle the seasonings before, two of them were scrapped and fell into the lava.
This was all that was left of the whole night's rations, but we couldn't waste it just for the sake of taste.
Suddenly, a sword light pierced the sky.
Chang Luofeng, wearing a green Taoist robe, jumped down from the flying sword gracefully.
When the hands fell to the ground, a burst of dust was stirred up.
Snapped!
Someone was startled, and the sausage fell into the lava again.
"Daozhang Chang, this is your uncle! You are hundreds of years old and you are still pretending to be a swordsman!" Xu Fei scolded angrily.
"Do you have the energy to curse? It seems that you are progressing very quickly." Chang Luofeng raised his eyebrows and said with a sideways glance, "I have to practice harder tomorrow."
Xu Fei: "..."
"Ahem, Taoist Priest, how is Leiyin's side?" Xu Fei changed the topic and asked slightly anxiously.
Looking at the other party's nervous expression, Chang Luofeng showed a playful smile.
After deliberately remaining silent for a few moments, he turned his palm and found a pure black mobile phone in his hand.
"Here, catch it."
The phone crossed a parabola and landed firmly in Xu Fei's hand.
"Boy, your identity information has been logged into this phone, and Leiyin's phone has also been processed and handed over to her."
"The 5G base station is being replaced at Longhu Mountain. There is no signal at the top of the mountain, so I asked Leiyin to wait for your call down the mountain. Anyway, there is not much time, so call quickly."
After saying that, Chang Luofeng waved his robe and walked into the house.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest."
Xu Fei cupped his hands gratefully and jumped out of the vat.
After Xiao Tao's previous lesson, he no longer dared to soak in the tank and answer the phone.
Especially this time, I was talking to Leiyin on the phone. If I was misunderstood, the relationship between the two would end before it even started.
Wake up the phone screen and open the address book.
There was only one phone number stored in it, nicknamed 'Little Girl from Another World'. It seemed that Chang Luofeng had saved it specially.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Fei's heart was beating fast.
They had obviously lived together for a long time and were already very familiar with each other, but at this moment they were extremely nervous.
After dialing the phone, listening to the beeping connection tone, I swallowed involuntarily.
Every second of waiting feels like a year.
Click, the call was connected, Xu Fei's heart almost lifted to his throat.
"Fei...is that you..."
The girl's sweet voice, like a silver bell, reached her ears, and a long-lost feeling flooded into her heart.
Xu Fei was stunned for a moment, opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.
