Chapter 13 Peas
"Please confirm the name of the spirit of the weapon." The spirit of the weapon said in an electronic voice, without any ups and downs or any emotion.
Like a robot, Rong Yuan thought.
Rong Yuan said: "Since you look so much like a bean sprout, just call me Bean Sprout."
"Your name is Douya, are you sure?" the villain said.
——He didn’t think its name was “Bean Sprouts”, it seems that its ability to distinguish language is very strong, at least much stronger than the voice recognition ability on his mobile phone.
"Forget it, calling it bean sprouts seems a bit pitiful." Rong Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Let's call it peas."
"Name Pea, are you sure?"
"confirm."
The little man blinked his eyes and said, "Pea confirms the name. Please confirm the title, such as father, master, brother, boss, chief, Your Highness, Your Majesty..."
"Alright, alright." Rong Yuan listened to all the shameless names and interrupted Wandou, saying, "Just call me by my name."
"The name of the contractor is Rong Yuan. Are you sure?"
"confirm."
Pea blinked again, as if this was its confirmation procedure, and said, "Please confirm the appearance display, Rongyuan. Pea cannot be completely invisible because the different dimensions cannot overlap, but it can change its appearance display. There are currently 36 categories and 105,876 different appearances, such as watches, mobile phones, rings, necklaces, belts, lighters, accessories, buttons..."
"Stop!" Rong Yuan didn't want it to read out all 105,876 appearances. He rubbed his forehead and suddenly thought of a question. He asked, "Pea, can I communicate with you directly through brain waves?" He remembered that there was such a setting in many novels.
"No." Pea ruthlessly broke his fantasy and added: "The information transmitted by brain wave contact is not clear, and there is a certain probability that it will cause brain damage and serious mental harm to the contractor."
"In that case," Rong Yuan said, "the appearance will show that it is a Bluetooth headset." This way, when he is communicating with Wandou, if someone sees him, they will think he is on the phone, not a lunatic talking to himself.
So, he should also buy a mobile phone that can connect to Bluetooth headsets.
"The appearance shows that it is a Bluetooth headset. Are you sure?"
"confirm."
The pea's surface dispersed like mist, and when it condensed again, it became a black Bluetooth headset. Rong Yuan picked it up and looked at it. From the appearance to the feel, it was no different from ordinary headphones. He flicked it with his fingers and said, "Since it has become a headset, it must look like a headset. If there are other people around, if you have anything to say to me, you must say it when I wear it, and the content cannot be heard by others. Do you understand?"
"Understood. Confidentiality is the second rule of the Book of Merits." A thin voice came from the earpiece.
"Put the Book of Merits away first." Rong Yuan said.
The Bluetooth headset suddenly changed back to its fist-like appearance. It jumped from Rong Yuan's hand to the table, grabbed a corner of the "Book of Merits" with its two small hands, and stuffed it into its stomach. Rong Yuan felt his eyes blurred, and the "Book of Merits" disappeared. The little man looked up at him and consciously changed back to the appearance of the headset.
Rong Yuan rubbed it with satisfaction and put the earphones into his trouser pocket. In fact, as the spirit of the Book of Merit, Wandou still had many questions to ask him about the Book of Merit, but considering the time, Jin Yang should be getting up soon, so he decided to ask him after he got back.
Jin Yang was humming a song while making breakfast in the kitchen. He used a soy milk maker to squeeze out soy milk. He thought that Rong Yuan always ate whatever he wanted, so he added black rice, walnuts and sesame seeds to the beans to supplement his nutrition. He also fried two eggs and roasted bacon to make omelets. Unlike Rong Yuan, Jin Yang was a good housekeeper since he was a child. When he was six or seven years old, he could cook eggs and noodles by himself.
Hearing Rong Yuan coming out of the bedroom, Jin Yang said without turning his head: "The information you asked me to find for you before is all on the coffee table. Take a look yourself first. Breakfast will take about ten minutes."
"What delicious food have you made? " Rong Yuan poked his head at the kitchen door, and Jin Yang immediately waved a shovel to drive him away: "Go away! You kitchen killer, don't burn down my kitchen again!" Once, when Rong Yuan came to Jin Yang's house to play, the adults were not at home, and the two children cooked by themselves. Rong Yuan volunteered to help, and Jin Yang thought it would be nice to lend a hand. But in less than three minutes, Rong Yuan smashed two plates and burned the pot. From then on, Jin Yang never dared to let him into the kitchen again.
Rong Yuan retracted his head in dismay, and went to the living room where he saw a thick file bag. He picked it up and asked, "Giving this to me won't affect your father's work, right?"
"It's okay!" Jin Yang said loudly in the kitchen, "It's not a confidential document. It's been broadcast ."
Rong Yuan nodded and took out the documents inside.
This is a stack of photocopies that looks like a job resume, with a large headshot in the upper right corner, and next to it are the name, gender, age, date of birth, home address, resume, as well as unusual accents, face shapes, body shapes, wanted dates, etc.
All of these files were wanted criminals who had been wanted by City A but had not yet been captured. The rewards ranged from a few thousand to millions. If citizens could provide reliable clues, they would also receive rewards of varying degrees.
Rong Yuan had a very good memory. Although he was still far from being able to memorize everything he saw, he could memorize all the information in just five or six hours. He was not so arrogant as to think that he could catch these vicious criminals by himself. It was just that the train station had so many people flowing in every day. What if he ran into one or two of them by chance? Opportunities always come to those who are prepared.
…
In the evening, Rong Yuan returned to his home. His new cell phone was on the desk, the wanted information with a bounty was spread out on the side, and Pea had returned to his original form, sitting cross-legged on the roll of tape.
Rong Yuan supported his chin with his hand, poked the little man with the pen, and said dissatisfiedly: "So, you don't know what other rules there are, you don't know what changes will happen to the Merit Book in the future, you don't know if there are similar things in this world, you don't know if there were any contractors for the Merit Book before, and the mustard seed space in your stomach cannot be filled with anything from the real world except the Merit Book. It can only be exchanged in the mall and the goods that you must confirm your ownership... Tell me, what else are you used for besides being a pocket? Are you worth 15,000 merit points like this?"
The pea was poked by him and swayed like a tumbler, but the sound remained unchanged. It said: "The spirit of the instrument relies on the "Book of Merit" to exist. The degree to which the "Book of Merit" is opened determines the degree to which the pea can achieve."
Rong Yuan raised his eyebrows: "Are you dissatisfied that I have earned too little merit, so you can't display your abilities?"
Pea said seriously, "From an emotional point of view, I don't have such a human emotion of 'dislike'. But from the result point of view - yes. But now I can also do things for you besides carrying it in your pocket."
Rong Yuan was so angry that he laughed and said, "Then tell me, what else can you do?"
Wandou said: "First, as a spirit, I have a special connection with the Book of Merit and the contractor. If you accidentally lose the Book of Merit or me, no matter how far away we are, I can find it back."
Rong Yuan nodded, his anger subsided a little. He had indeed been worried before, what if the earphones transformed by the spirit were lost.
Wandou continued , "Secondly, I know everything in the Merit Book, including the prices and functions of all the products. If you want to redeem anything, I can immediately find the one with the best value for money. At the same time, I can also provide useful reference suggestions for your current redemption."
Thinking of the nearly endless products in the Merit Mall, especially the daily necessities column, Rong Yuan suspected that it listed almost everything in the world, and it was impossible to look through them all. The same kind of products also had various styles, and many times they were not put together in different categories, making it very difficult to find them. This function of Wandou was also very practical.
"Third," Wandou added, "From now on, you can exchange items through me. You don't need to open the Merit Book and click on the items you want to exchange in the Merit Mall. This improves concealment and practicality."
This is optional, but it is indeed more convenient. Rong Yuan's expression eased, and then he asked, "Is there a fourth one?"
"Yes." Pea nodded and said, "Fourth, I can also use the goods exchanged through the Merit Mall. For example, if you exchanged for a car but it is inconvenient for you to drive, I can help you drive."
"Forget about this." Rong Yuan said immediately: "If someone sees this, won't they think it's a ghost car?"
Pea stared at him with big eyes and said, "It's just a metaphor."
"I know it's a metaphor!" Rong Yuan felt that he was despised by this little thing, so he covered it in the hole in the middle of the tape, leaving only its two little hands and feet hanging outside.
The little guy pulled himself out of it with difficulty, and then said calmly: "So for now, I suggest that you can exchange it for the AS1795-3 optical computer worth 14,800 merit points next time."
Seeing it like this, Rong Yuan felt that his behavior of bullying it was a bit childish, and asked: "Reason?" The optical computer is a good thing, and it sounds much more advanced than a computer. However, he had seen an optical computer in the mall that only cost a few thousand merit points. This model was more than twice as expensive.
"The AS1795-3 optical computer has the following advantages: First, it can be adapted to all electronic products in the world; second, the AS1795-3 optical computer is small in size, easy to carry, and has the ability to automatically change its appearance, making it the easiest to conceal among all portable optical computers; third, the AS1795-3 optical computer comes with 36 military software and 72 household software, which are very practical and can all be used for free for life; fourth, the AS1795-3 optical computer has a much faster computing speed than ordinary optical computers, a storage capacity of up to 1000P, and a very powerful search system."
Wandou glanced at the wanted poster on the table and said, "If you want to find a specific person, Rongyuan, the software on the AS1795-3 optical computer can hack into all electronic products connected to the Internet. As long as a device with a camera - whether it is a mobile phone, computer, camera or monitor - captures the image of this person, the AS1795-3 optical computer can retrieve the location in the shortest possible time."
Rong Yuan's eyes lit up.
