It was already September.
With the tail end of summer passing by, the apocalypse was already cooling down. Typically, winter would arrive by the end of October with snowfall coming half a month later. Winter in the apocalypse arrived one month earlier and ended one month later compared to the modern world.
Lin Lin was overwhelmed with work lately.
In order to ensure the exterior structure of Garden of Eden was completed before snowfall and to shift the construction phase to the interior to maximize construction time during the winter, she spent all day on the construction site. The previously freest person in the mansion now became the busiest out of everyone.
Jiang Chen spent his time inside the mansion reading through the legal document amended by Chu Nan. Even though it was scanned into a digital version, the 10 MB size of the document still gave him a headache. It was also a strain on his eyes as he had to stare at the screen for a long time.
Jiang Chen had to return to the modern world by October at the latest and had to take of things before he left. He also wanted to spend time with the girls. Sometimes, he wished he could chop himself up in half, leaving half on this side and the other half in the modern world.
It was becoming more and more apparent that he no longer had enough time.
Jiang Chen placed the tablet on the table and let out a long sigh while massaging his sore eyes.
It was too torturous for an engineering graduate to read through all this. When Jiang Chen thought about it, he couldn't help but scorn Chu Nan. How did a pilot become so knowledgeable?
Then the door behind him opened gently. Yao Yao gently walked beside Jiang Chen with a cup of coffee and put the steamy coffee on the table. Seeing how tired he looked, Yao Yao pouted with heartache and whispered:
”Big Brother… it must be tiring reading through all these documents.”
”It's a little tiring, but it's okay.” Jiang Chen sunk into his chair and looked up at Yao Yao's caring face with a smile.
”If only Yao Yao could help you out.”
Jiang Chen looked at the little loli with a spoiled smile.
”Yao Yao is already helping me a lot - always has been.”
”Hehe.” With a timid smile, Yao Yao rubbed her face then clasped her hands onto Jiang Chen's shoulder. ”You've been working for a while, Big Brother must be tired… So, Yao Yao will massage you.”
”Mhmm! Thank you.”
Feeling her soft hands rubbing his shoulder, he felt like his weariness was cured.
Jiang Chen closed his eyes and began to enjoy the service.
Seeing how relaxed Jiang Chen looked, a happy smile appeared on Yao Yao's face.
But looking at the thick stack of documents, the little girl's mouth pouted again.
If only she could help.
Suddenly, a spark went off in Yao Yao's head.
In that instant, she thought of a spectacular idea. Even though she only knew how to program, it could help Big Brother out…
…
One morning, Jiang Chen was reading through documents as part of his usual routine. But before he flipped open the document, Yao Yao pushed open the door in a pink robe while rubbing her sleepy eyes and wandered into the room.
No one had the heart to rouse her from her sleep, seeing how sleepy she looked.
Because of the inhibitor injected when she was in hibernation, Yao Yao wasn't very good with mornings. But today, she strangely woke up early in the morning at eight.
”Ha-, here you go~”
While yawning, Yao Yao handed Jiang Chen an electronic watch.
”This is?” Jiang Chen took the small gadget from Yao Yao's hands and he began to examine it closely.
From the light but durable textile, it was probably graphene. The thumb-sized screen looked small but sharp. The side had a grain-sized button which could open an adjustable hologram screen.
The appearance looked similar to Microsoft's smart bracelet, but the difference in content was like night and day.
Jiang Chen took off the EP and put the watch on.
It was light with barely any weight.
After Jiang Chen opened the screen, he was shocked to discover something.
It wasn't a watch at all; it was a lighter hologram computer that carried all the functionalities of EP.
