Doomsday Wonderland Vol. 10: Lava [Complete]

1273: Vacation Resort

"Today, it's your turn to wash the dishes."

"Why don't we play rock-paper-scissors?" The grand prize elongated the tone like a pleading little lamb. "If I win, you wash them. If I lose, you wash them."

"Isn't it still me who has to do it?" Lin Sanjiu tossed the plates and utensils into the pot. "Your cutesy act won't work on me. I used to play rock-paper-scissors with you, and I never won... By the way, how did you manage to do that?"

Ji Shanqing lifted his head, with a few rice grains and curry sauce stains still on his fair skin. So what if he was one of the Veda, without looking in the mirror, he still doesn't know he has rice on his face all the same.

Seeing him hesitate momentarily, his eyes darting around, Lin Sanjiu snorted, "Anyway, I won't play rock-paper-scissors with you again."

"Then, chess..."

"Do you think I'm really that naive?"

Ji Shanqing gave up and picked up the cup of yogurt she had just handed him, licking the cap in small sips. As one of the Veda, of course, he didn't need to eat, but he enjoyed indulging in the pleasures of the palate with the help of the grand prize's body. However, Lin Sanjiu couldn't understand why he would code out a certain food, hand it over to her, and make her take it out of the card inventory before he was willing to eat. 

After leaving the pocket dimension, it had been seven or eight days.

Puppeteer and Bohemia were indeed occupied with some unexpected events, and while it seemed they were not in any danger, they wouldn't be able to return for a while. Lin Sanjiu

communicated with them through several paper cranes and arranged to meet at a specific time before setting out with Ji Shanqing.

Neither of them had a specific destination, so they simply followed the highway and turned their doomsday survival into a road trip. However, Lin Sanjiu hadn't expected that after a few days of traveling with the grand prize again, the first issue that arose was the same old question they used to frequently encounter: who would wash the dishes.

Washing the pot after cooking curry wasn't easy. Just as Lin Sanjiu was about to push the pot away, Ji Shanqing suddenly grunted and fell over the outdoor table.

"Ah," he said, still holding the yogurt. "I suddenly have a stomachache."

Lin Sanjiu couldn't maintain her stern expression any longer, so she laughed and scolded, "Where did you learn to be so childish!" She finally picked up the pot and kitchenware. They were resting at a highway rest stop, and fortunately, a faucet was nearby. Of course, even if they threw the dirty dishes away, it wouldn't be difficult for the grand prize to create a new set every day. However, she hadn't suggested it, and the grand prize had never proposed it.

In fact, except for some items they didn't have, she rarely asked the grand prize to create supplies. He had never really been a normal person, and she hoped that before he had to return to the Data Stream Library, they could spend two months living together as ordinary people... Even if it was just an illusion built up with small details.

She hadn't forgotten that even though he had obtained information about how people live in theory, he had never truly experienced an ordinary life. Of course, most pocket dimensions weren't too welcoming for the two of them to enter, so it couldn't be considered entirely ordinary.

After lunch, the two of them leisurely played poker for a while. When Lin Sanjiu's face was covered with so many paper notes that she couldn't see, they set off again—this time, they found a car by the side of the road. It was in decent condition, and after some repair by the grand prize, they no longer had to rely solely on their legs to travel the world.
