Gu Rong slept until he woke up naturally. Stretching lazily, 006 informed him it was already almost eleven o’clock.
Gu Rong’s fair and tender little face was flushed pink from sleep, exactly like a little pink dumpling, milky and round. His soft hair was messy from sleep, with a tuft sticking straight up on top, unbearably cute and soft.
“Wah, wawawawa!” Gu Rong patted his mouth while yawning with his small hand. Patting and patting, he started playing by slapping his mouth, making continuous “wawawa” sounds.
006: […]
No, little host, now is not the time to play!
006 said: [Little host, we need to get up. We still need to collect the remaining three pages of the “Revelation”. Only two days left.]
Gu Rong rolled his little body over, lying flat on his stomach, even kicking his short little legs, pretending not to hear.
006 smiled: [Doesn’t the little host want to find Big Brother and Little Brother?]
Hearing this, Gu Rong immediately flipped over and sat up, rubbing his face with his small hands: [Yes! Get up, do task, find Big Brother Little Brother!]
Gu Rong was still wearing the Oasis Laboratory clothes, a cotton set of long sleeves and pants. Before sleeping last night, 006 had bought him a one-click cleaner, making them look brand new. But these were ultimately the standard uniform for experimental subjects.
Now that Gu Rong had successfully disguised himself as a human cub, he naturally needed to differentiate himself. 006 bought him a dark blue children’s sporty tracksuit little set from the system store.
After Gu Rong put it on, the size was just right. The sweatshirt was a cardigan hoodie. Putting the hood up made his little head look exceptionally round. Gu Rong’s shoes were also changed to a pair of small sneakers. Clothes and shoes are always cuter when smaller; this pair of shoes was only about half the size of an adult’s palm.
Outfit change complete, Gu Rong stomped his little feet and ran dadada to the door. But before he could figure out how to open the door to get out, the door clicked open ka-da from the outside.
Gu Rong took two small steps back with his little feet, tilting his little head up to look at the newcomer.
Standing outside the door was Major Mu, smiling broadly. Behind him were Lin-dalao and Dr. Bai. Seeing Gu Rong had changed clothes, the group raised their eyebrows slightly, simultaneously charmed for an instant.
Major Mu smiled and extended his hand towards Gu Rong, saying: “Awake? Come, I’ll take you to eat first. After eating, we’ll go see the Marshal.”
Hearing he was being taken to eat, Gu Rong, without a second word, immediately and obediently placed his small hand in his, grabbing two of Major Mu’s fingers: “Okay, eat food!”
Major Mu was slightly stunned, not expecting this cub to be so unafraid of strangers, obediently offering his hand when asked. The small hand was soft and chubby, like a little French bread roll. Major Mu squeezed it gently, his heart of steel melting somewhat.
–
After eating, Gu Rong was taken onto an elevator heading towards the top level of Paradise.
The elevator was outdoors, made entirely of glass. Standing inside, one could see the scenery outside through the glass; mountains, rivers, and lakes stretched out below.
Below Paradise was the boundless blue sea. The giant whale was still continuously leaping, letting out cries like weeping and complaining, resembling the sea’s lament.
Gu Rong pressed his small hand against the glass, looking at the whale. Looking up, there was the endlessly galloping fine horse.
Major Mu saw Gu Rong looking around curiously and smiled: “That’s the Ji Angel and the Whale of Dawn.”
Gu Rong said crisply: “Zaizai knows! Horse falls down, humans die. Whale falls in sea can’t come up, humans also die.”
Major Mu: “…”
Summarized very accurately.
Soon, the elevator reached the top level. It was already high enough to pierce the clouds. At such a height, there were still a few birds flying outside.
Exiting the elevator, a group of people was already waiting outside. Leading them was an old man with a white beard, dressed in pure white robes, his hair also covered by the white robe. Although the old man was very old, he had the rosy complexion of youth, stood tall and straight, full of vigor, his face ruddy and glowing.
Seeing Gu Rong, this little milk baby, a sharp glint flashed in the old man’s eyes. He stroked his beard and smiled. Behind the old man followed dozens of people, dressed similarly, but all relatively young.
Gu Rong tilted his little head. Seeing this old grandpa looking at him, he met the old man’s gaze without flinching.
Major Mu said: “This is our Prophet, Elder Hopu. These are Elder Hopu’s students.”
006 said: [Little host, Xiao Lin mentioned before that the horse and whale represent hope, and it was the Prophet who said it.]
Hopu’s gaze remained fixed on Gu Rong. He said meaningfully: “The way of salvation lies with this child.”
Gu Rong: “?”
Huh? What mean?
Hearing this, Major Mu’s expression turned excited, Dr. Bai looked thoughtful, while Lin-dalao merely raised an eyebrow.
The livestream chat had roughly the same reaction as Gu Rong.
Hmm? Zaizai became the little savior?
Hopu led them into a conference room. His students didn’t follow but waited outside. The conference room was large, with a row of bookshelves filled with books.
There was a long table, projecting a blue image of Earth – Earth before the apocalypse. In front of the sofa was a fish tank. A dozen shimmering goldfish swam among artificial water plants and. Inside were also sea snails and dried shrimp, forming a complete ecological cycle system.
A young man in his thirties stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, smoking. Hearing the commotion, he turned his head. The moment he saw Gu Rong, he casually extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray on the desk.
Gu Rong wrinkled his little nose, raised his small hand to pinch his nose, turned around, and ran dadada far away: “Stinky, stinky!”
The Man: “…”
Dr. Bai raised a delicate eyebrow and moved to stand beside Gu Rong.
Major Mu coughed lightly and said: “This is Marshal Feng, the supreme commander of Paradise. But we are accustomed to calling him General Feng Ting.”
Feng Ting had ruggedly handsome features, emanating a cold, murderous aura. Seeing Gu Rong pinch his nose and run far away, he remained silent for a long moment, then activated the ventilation system.
After a moment, Feng Ting spoke in a mellow voice: “Alright, it’s not stinky anymore.”
Gu Rong released his small hand, sniffed with his little nose. Sure enough, he couldn’t smell the smoke anymore. The air was filled with a faint lemon scent.
Hopu said: “General, the two-year-old child mentioned in the Revelation, we have found him.”
Feng Ting looked at Gu Rong.
Gu Rong heard “Revelation,” and his little ears twitched.
Hopu took out a parchment fragment from within his white robe. At first glance, it looked identical to the page Gu Rong had obtained, also blank.
Hopu said: “The Revelation is the guidance given to us by the omniscient and omnipotent God. Everything God says is correct. Although we currently only have one page, relying on the Little Savior, we can find the remaining pages.”
“Find all the pages, and we can glimpse the true meaning of Revelation, thereby finding the path to save the world.”
Gu Rong listened, completely bewildered, but seeing the Revelation page, his big eyes sparkled.
006 said: [Little host, the second page has appeared! We need to figure out how to get it.]
Gu Rong said: [Okay!]
Who knew, the next second, Hopu directly stuffed the page into Gu Rong’s hand, repeating his earlier sentence: “The way of salvation lies with you.”
Gu Rong: “?”
006: […]
Got it just like that? Freebie?
Feng Ting’s expression was unreadable, his voice deep: “Then take him to find the remaining pages. Must find them within two days.”
–
[Congratulations Little Zombie Zaizai for acquiring a new page. Current progress: 2/4.]
There were four pages of Revelation in total. Now Gu Rong had two, with two remaining to be found. The cub had no concept of being a Little Savior, nor did he know what Revelation was for. He only knew completing tasks earned him points and the Devil’s Key.
Gu Rong asked: [When can Rongrong see Daddy, Mommy, Grandpa Ming?]
006 said: [Soon, soon! Little host is now the Little Savior, can mobilize resources. Finding the remaining pages will be much easier.]
Gu Rong said tenderly: [Zaizai is Little Zombie, not Little Savior.]
006 said: [Perhaps the NPC character setting we got in this instance is the savior.]
Gu Rong spread his small hands.
Gu Rong wanted to find Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao. It had been a day since entering the instance, and he hadn’t seen the two yet.
Hopu said: “Little doll, you can designate personnel to accompany you in finding the Revelation pages.”
They had already left the conference room and were now in the elevator.
Hearing he could designate people, Gu Rong’s eyes lit up. He grabbed two of Lin-dalao‘s fingers with his small hand.
Lin-dalao looked down at him and curved his lips slightly.
Gu Rong rattled off: “Uncle Doctor, Big Brother, Little Brother.”
Seeing Dr. Bai looking at him, he added: “And Auntie.”
Hopu: “…”
Major Mu: “…”
What about the two of us?
Major Mu glared at Hopu.
Told you not to speak too much.
Major Mu: “Big Brother and Little Brother are?”
Gu Rong said, “Just Big Brother and Little Brother!”
Lin-dalao said, “I can take you to find them.”
Gu Rong cheered “Yay!”, raising his small hands in celebration.
Major Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze shifting between Lin-dalao and Gu Rong: “Dr. Lin, how did you become familiar with our Little Savior so quickly?”
Lin-dalao glanced at him with a half-smile: “Quickly? The entire human world might be destroyed within two days. Getting familiar overnight doesn’t seem very quick.”
The implication: Two days to find the Revelation pages meant humanity only had two days left.
This aligned with the players’ task time limit.
Major Mu’s gaze sharpened. He subsequently chose to remain silent.
–
Gu Rong hadn’t designated Major Mu or Hopu to follow him in search of the Revelation pages, but the two stubbornly followed along anyway.
Led by Lin-dalao, Gu Rong finally met Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao. They were on the middle level of Paradise. Without permission from the upper level, people from the middle level couldn’t reach the upper level.
Not only were Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao present, but Gu Rong also saw many old acquaintances. Besides Ye Qiuwu’s group of four, there was also Xie Lingjiu with his head full of dreadlocks, as well as Wu Yao and Xia Wan.
Not just them, but also an unexpected person – Mu Xingye.
After “Terror Cruise,” he was said to have been pulled into “Museum of Oddities,” entering an infinite death loop. How could he appear here?
As soon as Gu Rong appeared, everyone’s gaze fell uniformly upon this two-year-old cub.
Mu Xingye saw the little cub but showed little reaction. His previous declaration to livestream the killing of Zaizai seemed like something from the last century. At this moment, he stayed obediently in a corner, merely glancing at Gu Rong before quickly looking away, keeping far from the other players, especially the furthest distance from Xie Lingjiu.
Damn it, finally escaped “Museum of Oddities,” only to run into his nemesis Xie Lingjiu first thing in this instance.
Gu Rong looked at everyone, his big eyes blinking rapidly. He quickly located Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao, his eyes instantly lighting up.
Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao also saw Gu Rong, their eyes similarly brightening.
“Big Brother! Little Brother!” Gu Rong stretched out his short little arms, lowered his head, and ran deng deng deng towards the two, stumbling.
“Rongrong!”
“Little ghost!”
The two watched Gu Rong run over anxiously, instinctively reaching out to meet him, afraid the cub would fall. The two took turns picking up the little cub, lifting him high several times. Gu Rong giggled happily, clapping his small hands.
Gu Rong wore a dark blue hoodie and a pants set. It was the first time Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao had seen this outfit, finding it very fresh.
Meanwhile, Ye Qiuwu said: “See? Told you! Just follow this cub’s Big Brother and Little Brother, and the cub will find them himself! Prophet, right?”
Li Xue gave him a thumbs-up: “Worthy of being the king of freeloaders.”
Ye Qiuwu: “…”
Lin Ji pushed up the glasses on his nose, maintaining his deadpan expression.
Yu Yue pointed at Gu Rong’s group, then at Xie Lingjiu’s group, then at their group of four: “Babysitting group, dalao group, cannon fodder group.”
“…”
The four members of the cannon fodder group sighed.
