Swire gave a cold laugh, not to the terminal, but to the person eavesdropping on her communications.
That deafening crash, loud enough to shatter the eardrums of the person opposite, was like interest collected upfront.
Regarding the wiretapping, she temporarily showed mercy and let the other party off the hook.
She will settle this score with interest from the forces behind the scenes!
Swire patted her collar, shaking off the bits of debris from the exploding terminal that were stuck to her body, and turned to look at Yun Yi, saying, "Does it have any storage function? Ideally, it should be able to block the signal directly."
"The kind of shield that prevents any signal from getting through," Swire emphasized.
"Yes, there is." Yun Yi nodded.
Her physical form in the game is the game character template.
In addition to the corresponding body, it also includes a backpack and equipment slots.
"However, once something is stored away, its state will be frozen at the moment it was stored." After explaining in detail, Yun Yi confirmed, "Is this alright?"
If Chen or his companions call again, but the call can't be answered—although the terminal's current state doesn't seem to indicate that it can still receive communications.
“No problem.” Swire handed the terminal directly to Yun Yi, then took out something that looked like a walkie-talkie from her inner pocket and gestured for her to put it away as well.
Yunyi did as instructed.
Then, looking at the newly acquired [Item: Contract Object - Swire's Work Terminal] (being monitored and interfered with) and [Item: Lungmen Guard Bureau Standard Communicator] (damaged) in her backpack, she remained silent for a moment before saying, "Swire, the backpack's built-in identification says that your terminal is being monitored and interfered with. The communicator isn't, it's just completely damaged."
"A backpack is simply a name for a storage function."
"As expected." Swire lowered her eyes without surprise, her long, thick eyelashes obscuring her pine-green eyes, as well as the raging anger brewing within them.
After politely thanking him, Swire suppressed all her emotions and looked at Yun Yi, saying, "Should we go back to the Guard Bureau with me first? We need to confirm when the terminal started listening."
If they were being monitored from the very beginning, it would be a disaster for Yun Yi—they had revealed plenty of things that should have been kept secret.
Swire bit her lip, feeling guilty once again.
This shouldn't have affected Yun Yi; it was only because Yun Yi came to save her that...
"Yes," Yun Yi readily agreed, then curiously pressed on, "You'll definitely be looking for the mastermind behind this, right? The one who gave the gang the guns. I have a feeling this wiretapping might be their doing too!"
“Yes.” Swire’s response was equally brief.
Just then, she caught a glimpse of a pile of items stacked up by the wild chicks in the corner, and her eyes lit up instantly. She asked, "By the way, how many points do you get for taking these things?"
These things? Points?
Yun Yi followed Shi Huaiya's gaze and saw a pile of miscellaneous items that looked very high-end, suddenly appearing to be expensive daily necessities.
She thought and thought, and then she remembered that it was those things that had been spread all over the floor before—things she hadn't touched.
So it was a gift from Shi Huai-ya?
It's a good thing she didn't touch it, otherwise she would have suffered another loss.
With this sense of relief, Yun Yi quickly told him the key criteria for judgment: "There's something I haven't told you yet. Only things that you give me personally or in person can be counted for points."
After Yun Yi finished explaining, he said helplessly, "The terminal you gave me can no longer be used to calculate points because I took it from the person you sent."
"Fortunately, I haven't touched these things yet." Yun Yi pointed to the objects in the corner.
Then, looking at their immeasurable number, she said with a troubled expression, "But this number is too much. How am I supposed to collect it? Is there a list or something?"
They're leaving soon, so we can't waste time on some daily necessities.
ps:
It rained all night, and I fell asleep listening to the sound.
Sounds good!

Volume Two: Fireworks at Longmen: Chapter Thirty-Seven - Height is Dignity! So expensive! But this dignity isn't something that can't be sacrificed a little.
“There’s even such a restriction…” Swire’s fingers deftly twirled a strand of hair that fell across her chest, her brow furrowing as she pondered.
A moment later, she decisively raised her chin and said with an unwavering tone, "I'll make a list later. Now, let's go to the Guard Bureau."
"Okay." Yun Yi replied crisply, his gaze still lingering with a hint of contemplation.
Shi Huaiya turned around neatly to lead the way, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the adorable Manjiu starting to snore again.
She paused, then asked with concern, "They might get caught if they stay here. Why don't you put them away first?"
Yun Yi waved his hand, his face full of confidence: "No one else can catch the Manjiu."
As soon as she redeemed the Manju, the shop conveniently sent her a message.
—Since the main [Homestead] function is not yet enabled, the creatures purchased will receive a temporary buff: [Dream on!]!
This buff has only one effect.
That is to make the Barbarians seem like they are on a different level from everyone else, so that they cannot be harmed or touched.
"It seems that the creatures in the mall also have some special characteristics." Swire drew a good conclusion from Yun Yi's attitude.
Shi Huaiya ignored them, turned around deftly, pushed open the door, strode forward, and gestured for Yunyi to follow.
Yunyi is taller and has longer legs than Shi Huaiya, so he can easily keep up.
As he walked up to Swire, looking at the top of her head, Yunyi suddenly asked curiously, "Swire, how tall are you? I remember I was 175cm (in my previous life), and you seem to be a little shorter than me?"
From Yunyi's perspective, he is about 1.7 meters tall.
But in my memory, Swire is clearly a petite type; her operator profile says she's about 1.6 meters tall.
Could it be that she misremembered again?
"You're 1.75 meters tall?" Swire led the way, glancing at her sideways. "You're at most 1.68 or 1.69 meters. As for me, my most recent physical exam showed I'm 1.63 meters—but I'm still young, I can still grow taller!"
"?" Yun Yi's expression froze.
Good news, her memory didn't fail her once this time.
Bad news, she herself has shrunk in size???
'System, what's going on?'
[If the main character doesn't respond when you're shaping the body, the system can only use random selection, right?]
The system stated matter-of-factly, "[The final result is a game character with a female body type, which cannot be the same height as the original character.]"
Yun Yi's expression changed. When did she create this body? She had no recollection of it at all!
It couldn't be before she time-traveled... Wait!
'System, you're not talking about that random selection of newbie gifts I heard when I was half-conscious before I died, are you?'
No, she was almost unconscious when she died, so who could respond to her!
Yun Yi couldn't help but clench his fists and stop, staring at the system panel that appeared, feeling an urge to punch it again.
"What's wrong?" Noticing the person beside her suddenly fall silent and stop, Swire slowed her pace and turned to ask in confusion.
“I used to be 1.75 meters tall.” Yun Yi said, frustrated and angry: “The system shrunk me down to my current height when I was in a daze.”
Couldn't He have waited until she had finished transmigrating, or until she was fully conscious, to mold her body?
"Moreover, logically speaking, with such a large height difference, the perspective should be significantly different, but I just don't feel it at all." Yun Yi clenched and unclenched his fist for a long time with an ugly expression, and finally slapped the system panel that was retreating.
She held the system panel, her eyes flashing with malice: "Was it you who did this?"
[Why would the templates that come with this system have a view incompatibility issue?]
[The fact that you won't feel any discomfort perfectly demonstrates the power of this system's templates.]
The system felt extremely wronged [mainly due to its unreasonable behavior].
"..." Yun Yi choked for a moment, then rolled his eyes at the system panel: "You actually consider incompatibility with the field of view a bug? System, your common sense is absolutely flawed!"
"And you insist on asking for someone's opinion when they're not fully conscious—you're clearly more unreasonable than I am!"
The system managed to squeeze out a few broken, breathy sounds, stammering but still assertive, "[This...this system can't do anything about it, that's just how the program is.]"
Yun Yi was about to retort when Shi Huaiya turned around and pressed him down.
Under Yun Yi's questioning gaze, Swire calmly said, "Yun Yi, instead of arguing with the system about who is more reasonable, why don't you ask Him if He can restore your height?"
Instead of wasting time dwelling on it, let's solve the problem directly.
Yun Yi suddenly understood, turned his head and stared intently at the system panel, indicating that the system should quickly provide a solution if it had one.
[The main body, this system isn't without a solution, but... wait, wait, wait! This system has a way, a way!]
Under Yun Yi's raised fist, the system immediately conceded, saying, "[Main body, actually this is easy to handle. Just spend points to change to a mature woman's body type... It's just that the main body's soul is already 100% compatible with the body, so the points required for the change are a little over a billion.]"
"How much exactly?" Yun Yi asked, dissatisfied with the system's evasive answers.
[Hmm...] Seeing that there was no escaping it, the system vaguely mentioned an astronomical figure.
"Huh? So many! No room for negotiation?" Yun Yi instantly wanted to give up.
Although she loved the view from up high, it was clearly not worth spending so much money.
[After all, changing body shape involves the soul of the main body.]
The system explained, "[You yourself know how difficult it is for your soul to move.]"
[Moreover, this system is actually completely immobile. All these points are for protecting the system so it can secretly alter the host's body; it's purely a life-saving fee, and there's no way to save any of it.]
[but]
The system pondered for a moment and then offered another option: [The main character has another choice—purchase a powerful bloodline to change their body shape.]
[When bloodline influences the body, the soul does not interfere with this positive evolution.]
"But bloodlines are also very expensive." Yun Yi had seen several before, and they were basically tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan each.
Bloodline, to put it simply, is the foundation of a race.
It will not only provide the race with physical advantages, powerful skills, and unique talents, but also package a bunch of valuable experience and knowledge passed down from generation to generation.
It belongs to the category of high-end products with extremely high cost performance.
It's really good, but it's also really expensive.
It's the kind of thing she can't afford right now, so she can only look at it and drool over it.
"Fine, let it be." Yun Yi sighed, patted the system panel, let the system go, and said calmly to the waiting Shi Huaiya, "Let's go, I'm fine now."
Poetry and elegance remained unmoved.
She stood there, her eyes lowered, pondering for a long time. Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she lifted her head, her gaze lingering on the bewildered Yun Yi for a moment, filled with concern and a hint of barely perceptible tension.
When Swire finally spoke after a long pause, her tone carried a firm yet gentle quality: "If it's just expensive, I'll give you more things as soon as possible, don't be discouraged."
[She should stop being so interested and give the points from the sticker event to the main character,] the system said detachedly, watching the drama unfold.
This contract partner is really something else; from the initial embrace until now, I've been continuously falling for him.
None of the system's built-in settlement programs could be started, but the settlement multiplier kept climbing.
The system couldn't help but analyze: [Could it be that the suspension bridge effect caused by the main body saving her hasn't dissipated yet?]
'Could it be that your payment method is incorrect?' Yunyi also remembered that she didn't seem to have received these points yet, but she didn't think that Swire was interested in her.

Volume Two: Fireworks at Dragon Gate: Chapter Thirty-Eight Sometimes, acting skills just come out when you force them.
[Impossible, how could the core program of this system have a problem?]
The system, brimming with confidence, turned around and criticized Yun Yi, saying, "[The main character is completely clueless, and his gigolo partner, Swire, clearly showed interest just now.]"
