Option one is 30%, option two is 15%, and option three is 55%.

…

[Option 3]

[Focus on finding a person named Chu Huairen in reality]

…

The first three options are all very high, and the fourth option is almost negligible.

"(...You still have to be prepared...)"

Zheng Zhuo took a look, put away his phone, and walked into the store.

I have to say that the options in this voting interface provided a lot of help for him to sort out his ideas.

…

After apologizing to the store manager, Zheng Zhuo said that he was not feeling well and would have to postpone his employment for some time.

The store manager didn't say much, but instead asked him to pay attention to his health, which made Zheng Zhuo very grateful.

...Grateful. I saw a ghost in [Ocean World] and saw the ship's chef who looked like a store manager gradually turning into a fish-like person. Zheng Zhuo really couldn't change with his father and daughter in a short period of time.

Gotta get close.

"Ah, haha."

When the store manager asked him about the situation, he smiled dryly and quietly kept his distance from the two of them.

"I don't have anything...Yes, by the way, do you work here too?"

He asked Xue Ying.

The topic was changed too abruptly. The female student named Xue Ying couldn't help but frown. Zheng Zhuo also mentally shouted "It's over" slowly.

He hasn't been in a peaceful environment for a long time. He has forgotten how to use social rhetoric...

"The store manager is my father. I'm not a store clerk."

However, Xue Ying was as kind-hearted as she was in [Small Town World]. She still answered the question.

"My university is in this city."

Xue Ying named a university. Zheng Zhuo knew that university. It was an art college not far from here... about five or six kilometers away.

"When there are no classes, I will come over to help look after the store." Xue Ying said.

She's in college!

Zheng Zhuo captured this key information.

In [Small Town World], Xue Ying said that she was at home because of a vacation. In [Ocean World], Xue Ying boarded the scientific research ship because of a school research project, but in reality this is not the case: she did not have a vacation, nor

Not engaged in scientific research.

It seems that in the [subconscious world], the characters on the stage will use the appearance and interpersonal relationships of real characters, but the inside is very different from reality - it is like being stuck with a certain identity.

So, what about character?

Zheng Zhuo touched his chin.

Xue Ying outside also answered her own question. From this point of view, there are similarities in personality.

"Ah, that's it." Zheng Zhuo thought deeply and said casually, "Then, your mother——"

Snap.

He slapped his mouth. The shopkeeper and Xue Ying next to him were both shocked.

"Ahaha...there are mosquitoes."

Zheng Zhuo continued to laugh dryly.

He almost asked, "Is your mother still alive?" If he hadn't hit himself in the mouth and stopped, someone else would have hit him in the mouth now.

Zheng Zhuo took a breath and looked around the store.

From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of photo frames under the counter. One of them was a photo of the store manager, Xue Ying, and another woman.

Although there are other possibilities...

But he thought it would be better to treat the unfounded personal information in the [subconscious world] as false.

…

Zheng Zhuo quickly left the small supermarket. Mainly because as the number of customers increased, he, as a "reserve clerk", was too embarrassed not to help.

But he couldn't stay there for long yet. He had other things he wanted to confirm.

Zheng Zhuo walked down the street in the residential area.

Breakfast shop, market, grocery store, small restaurant...

"...Isn't this face too hard to remember?"

Zheng Zhuo couldn't help but said.

Along the way, he has been observing other people's faces. If passers-by in the subconscious world will appear as the images they know in reality, then remembering more of some people's faces can give them a sense of peace of mind.

Moreover, you can also roughly judge the personality of the people you meet...

...Zheng Zhuo thought so at first.

"(It's too simple to think.)"

After walking through several alleys, Zheng Zhuo found that he had thought too little.

First of all, even if he tried hard to remember people's faces and talk to the shopkeepers, they were just acquaintances - even if they stood in front of Zheng Zhuo now and asked Zheng Zhuo who he recognized, Zheng Zhuo wouldn't be able to answer.

Secondly, Zheng Zhuo struck up a conversation with them. But it was much more difficult to understand the other person's character through a brief communication than to remember their name and appearance.

"……never mind."

Zheng Zhuo let out a long sigh.

"Don't delay doing the most important thing."

…

Zheng Zhuo left the alley. This time, he came to a nearby park. He sat down on a bench, took out his mobile phone, and started searching for a name on the Internet.

Chu Huairen.

This is the only name of a participant other than himself that he knows.

"Chu Huairen...historical figure? novel character...wrong...what keyword to use..."

Children playing ball were running around in the park. They played from noon to evening. They were surprised to see this big brother playing with his mobile phone on the bench from noon to evening.

"His personality is [Wise Man]. [Wise Man] means... he has a strong thirst for knowledge and likes to pursue the truth... Then maybe he has achieved results in some field?"

Zheng Zhuo started adding keywords. He kept searching for "[Excellent Graduate][Chu Huairen]", "[Excellent Employee][Chu Huairen]", "[Responsible Person][Chu Huairen]" and so on

characters, identify those names from a large number of incomprehensible advertisements, and then confirm the identity of the parties one by one.

……confirm.

This is actually a glorified statement. In fact, what Zheng Zhuo did was to find the phone number of their company—or simply their own mobile phone number—and call them.

He didn't know how to identify the other party, so he had to say: "Chu Huairen, do you know me? I am Zheng Zhuo."

After being hung up by the 31st Chu Huairen, Zheng Zhuo also reflected on his actions.

"(I'm too suspicious...I would hang up even if I received such a call...)"

He sighed and started dialing the thirty-second number.

This Chu Huairen is a teaching assistant at a certain university.

"(What a young assistant.)"

Zheng Zhuo thought and called the school's Academic Affairs Office.

"Hello."

"Hello, I'd like to find an assistant here named Chu Huairen——"

"Please wait a moment...ah."

A hesitant voice came from the other side.

"Assistant Professor Chu went abroad with the team to attend an academic conference. He hasn't come back yet..."

"Not back yet?"

Zheng Zhuo just asked a normal question, but the other party mistook Zheng Zhuo for an insider and continued talking.

"He should indeed have returned yesterday. But...in short, it may have been delayed. You can call back in a few days."

"OK, thanks."

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Zhuo kept an eye on it. He wrote down the address and phone number of the university.
