Chapter 59 Maid Outfit with Worn-Out Eyes

At this moment, none of Bai Nuo and the other two had oil lamps, so they could only use flashlights to wash up and change clothes.

In the countryside, flashlights are precious items, and even families with better conditions usually share just one.

Actually, Bai Nuo brought kerosene lamps with her; they were retro-style kerosene lamps. She had collected quite a few in her previous life. Because kerosene was even harder to obtain than electricity in the apocalypse, she had basically never used the kerosene lamps in her space.

Before she went to the countryside, she packed her things and specially packed one in a bundle wrapped in a quilt to bring with her. However, she was too lazy to look for it now, and she didn't have any kerosene on hand. She would have to go out and buy some tomorrow. Fortunately, she had quite a few kerosene coupons.

After entering the house, she quickly bolted the door. Originally, she wanted the humanoid to come out and pretend to be her to sleep for one night, but unfortunately, the humanoid couldn't stay outside for long. So she took out another blanket, wrapped it up, and stuffed it into the blanket she was using to cover herself. Then she turned around and went back into her space.

"I need to find a brass bolt lock. I remember there's a box of vintage bolt locks in Warehouse No. 8. The front door at home only has a wooden bolt on the inside, and the lock on the outside isn't very sturdy either. It doesn't feel secure." Bai Nuo said this to the system as soon as she returned to her space.

"I think so too. I'll go find him in a bit. Host, did you eat enough for dinner? Would you like some more?"

After going to the countryside, the system basically stopped appearing unless Bai Nuo called it or it sensed that the host was in danger. It also stopped checking on the host's situation. So it only knew that the host ate dinner with the educated youths at night, but it didn't know whether Bai Nuo had eaten well.

Normally, the system stays in its own system space, playing by itself or recharging itself. Now that there are many people coming and going around the host, it cannot disturb the host's normal life and social interactions. Moreover, it is always mentally distracted, which is not good for the host.

Therefore, the system consciously hid itself. After all, it was a system and would never feel bored. Its only task was to protect its host.

Bai Nuo smiled and rubbed the little system's round head: "Don't worry, I ate okay. Although it wasn't very tasty, you know I'm not used to wasting food, so I finished it all. I'm not hungry now. I'm going to take a shower first. If you're free, find all the things I wrote this afternoon and put them together. Starting tomorrow, I'll start tidying up my little home little by little."

"Okay, no problem, host, I'll go right away."

Bai Nuo looked at the system, which was happily flapping its little wings, and said with a smile, "Just find it and put it on the empty shelf on the side as you enter Warehouse No. 9. I'll take it out when I need it."

"Yes, host."

Seeing that the system was quite happy to be busy, Bai Nuo turned around and went back to her small pavilion. She took off all her clothes and handed them to 925 to take to the laundry room. She then went to the master bedroom on the second floor and took a good shower.

You have to understand that she had been enduring all the way here, and after arriving at the educated youth compound, she had been busy until now. Finally, she could take a good shower and even took a milk bath.

Since 925 came to the family, she has never milked the cows by hand again. The cows have been trained to be milked by 925 every day, and then the milk is sent to the automatic processing room next door for processing. There is more milk than she can use for her daily milk baths, let alone drinking it.

After showering, she changed into a comfortable set of pajamas and lazily leaned back on the beanbag chair by the window in the second-floor hall. Even her hair was styled by 925 who came up to blow-dry it for her.

Bai Nuo slowly opened her eyes, and when she looked up, she saw 925 carefully blow-drying her hair. Suddenly, her pupils dilated and her lips twitched violently.

"925, how did you suddenly become... a housekeeper? And who changed you into that maid outfit?!"

925's mechanical face was topped with a head of black hair, which was tied into a low bun at the back of his head, and he wore a maid-style headband.

That's not the point...

The key point is...

"Who got you this outfit? I'm really seeing things! Maid outfits made of Northeast China floral fabric???" Bai Nuo's sweet, soft voice started to rise in surprise, which was enough to prove how visually and psychologically challenging the outfit was.

She had seen maid outfits in her previous life, and even seen people wearing them. She knew that maid outfits were basically black and white, but the one 925 was wearing... was a red and blue patterned fabric from Northeast China.

She swore that she did enjoy collecting all sorts of items, but she had never picked up a maid outfit, much less found one as garish as this.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like it's... bad for your eyes.

Fortunately, no one else could see 925 except her, otherwise... she would have lost all face for the rest of her life.

No, there's one more...

"A-Tong!!!"

"What's wrong? What's wrong with Host Nono?"

The system quickly flew in through the balcony window, and the first thing it saw was 925 dressed in a festive outfit, chuckling.

"Host, you see 925's clothes. What do you think? Aren't they especially festive and perfectly suited to the local customs and traditions of Northeast China?"

The case is solved!

Bai Nuo looked at his stupid system with a complicated expression and asked sincerely, "Hey, are you infected with a virus?"

"No, no!" The system scratched its head.

Bai Nuo's lips twitched, and he raised his hand with trembling hands, pointing at 925: "Why did you dress it up like this if you're not poisoned? I remember the instructions for 925 say it's for men, right? If you had just changed this fabric to a suit-style one, I wouldn't have wanted to gouge out its eyes."

"But host, I don't know how to make clothes, let alone suits. I bought this suit from the system store because I wanted him to wear something festive to celebrate the successful renovation of your house."

The little system lowered its head, looking aggrieved, and fiddled with its small mechanical hand, occasionally glancing cautiously at Bai Nuo.

Bai Nuo took a deep breath. What to do? It's her own, no matter how stupid it is... she can't throw it away.

"Never mind, after getting used to it, I find it's actually quite nice!" Bai Nuo hugged the little system tightly with tears in her eyes.

She was grateful to her teacher and grandmother for teaching her how to be a normal person with feelings, instead of being a cold and numb killing machine like those in her previous life. Otherwise... she wouldn't be coaxing the system now, but rather disassembling its parts for fun.

"Really?" The little system looked up at its host intently.

Bai Nuo smiled and nodded, vigorously rubbing the smooth little head: "Of course it's true. When has your host ever lied to you? Not bad, let 925 wear it like this. If it's inconvenient for work, there should be a few adult men's suits in the No. 7 storage room. Just find one for him. Don't waste your system points in the future. Save them to buy system snacks for yourself."

"good!"

The little system happily revealed a bright smile, nestled in its host's arms, and wiggled its two short legs.

"Let's go and try our luck with the educated youth gift pack, and then see what's in that little package we received on the train."
