Chapter 69
After finally finding a chance to log in to the game, Xiu Jin saw his baby girl holding up an iron rod as soon as he entered. Her little face was solemn as if she was a different person. He was so scared that he almost had a heart attack.
“Garbage[1]TN: The used word in this is actually an internet slang which is spicy chicken, a pun for the word trash/garbage. game, what have you turned my precious daughter into!”
He hurriedly manipulated the screen with his fingers, pinched the iron rod in Bian Bian’s hand and threw it away.
If the system had a body right now, it would probably want to slam into a wall. But it still quickly stated the previous situation to let Xiu Jin understand what was going on, naturally skipping the existence of the magician.
“…”
After figuring out what was going on, Xiu Jin always felt that something was wrong. He frowned and said, “When I wasn’t online, the plot has progressed so fast?”
The system didn’t make a sound.
Fortunately, Xiu Jin’s attention quickly turn back to Bian Bian. Based on the plot stated by the system, he knew that the baby girl was not holding the iron rod to do something scary, but to save Zhu Yuan.
He’s[2]TN: Pertaining to Zhu Yuan. really useless compared to Luo Yesheng. At least, Luo Yesheng wouldn’t drag his leg.
The Seventh Prince thought so with disgust to Zhu Yuan. He slid the iron rod that he had thrown away and stuffed it back into Bian Bian’s hand.
“Dad, what happened just now?” Bian Bian was a little worried. She was very puzzled by her father’s act of snatching her iron rod and throwing it away, and now stuffing it back.
But Dad didn’t write back to her.
The little girl who was anxious to save Uncle Zhu Yuan put this doubt aside, and began to seriously hit on the humanoid cocoons.
“Which one is Zhu Yuan?” Xiu Jin, who was reluctant to make his precious daughter work as a coolie, asked the system coldly.
The system dismissed him with the words it replied to the magician. However, Xiu Jin would not call the system a waste like the magician, but he could—
“You spicy chicken[3]TN: Same as previously stated. Pun on trash/garbage wouldn’t be peaceful without tossing a kid for a day huh? Let me tell you, I already had people find out which game company produced you, and when I buy that company, you wouldn’t want the change in dynasty[4]TN: Găi cháo huàn dài is a Chinese idiom that means the old dynasty is replaced by the new dynasty which generally refers to the replacement of the ruling group or basically change in … Continue reading. Be honest with me now…Which one is Zhu Yuan!”
What Xiu Jin said is not a shot without aim[5]TN: Wú dì fàng shi is an idiom that means to speak without thinking. This child raising game was downloaded for him by Kerfu on the photon computer. Before, Kerfu always thought that Xiu Jin had fantasized a perfect partner through the game, so when Xiu Jin asked him to check the developer of this game there’s a bit of suspicion.
According to Kerfu, he originaly wanted to let Xiu Jin de-stress and relax. Then, he casually saw a game introduction on the star network where it says that it does not require any medium to pass the game and that he can fantasize what he wanted in his mind, so as to achieve spiritual satisfaction.
This introduction looked pretty good, so he downloaded it to Xiu Jin’s photon computer. And when he received Xiu Jin’s order to check the developer of this game, he found nothing.
It seems that this game is a three-no product[6]TN: These are products with no production date, no quality certificate, and no manufacturer, and unknown origin. that came out of some small workshop.
Just when Kerfu was thinking about what to do, Xiu Jin was assassinated. This matter was then put on hold for the time being. After Xiu Jin woke up, he was under surveillance in the hospital and he even had to sneak around to use his photon computer. When he was bored, he suddenly remembered that this matter has yet to have a result.
So he urged Kerfu, but the latter couldn’t complete the job for a while, so he had to explain the situation truthfully. Then, Xiu Jin found out that the child raising game he was playing is a bit different from what Kerfu said.
In the end, Kerfu become aware that the game played by the boss was not the one he had downloaded at all. But Xiu Jin swore that he only had this game in his photon computer and nothing else. So where did the game that Kerfu originally downloaded go? Why did it end up being a child raising game?
Kerfu soon found out the reason— this should be due to game packaging. On the surface, the promotion says how powerful the game function is, that it was comparable to a holograph, and is easy to operate, but it is actually an empty shell. In this simple layer of shell, the package is actually a very simple child raising mobile game. This original form emerges as soon as you log in.
Regardless of the reason, Xiu Jin didn’t bother to pursue it. Anyway, the child has been raised, and he wanted to improve the life of his baby girl in the game to a higher level. Kerfu used this post-apocalyptic child raising game to investigate, but found many similar cub raising games. The developers behind these games wrote clearly and plainly.
He only wanted to check this version, but he couldn’t find it. What’s even more strange was that he couldn’t find it at all when he searched for the same model on the star website.
Kerfu even tried to copy it from Xiu Jin, but it didn’t work.
Kerfu temporarily pressed these strange points and did not tell Xiu Jin. Today he suddenly contacted him to inform that he had found the game developer.
He didn’t mention how he found it. He only said that he was still negotiating with the other party, and was waiting for the final result to come out. Now, he was informing Xiu Jin half of the good news in advance.
Kerfu never does anything he was unsure of, nor does he report any news he was not sure about. Him telling half of the good news in advance meant that the result was almost certain, thus he told Xiu Jin in advance so that he can be happy sooner.
Xiu Jin thought of many ways, and finally got rid of the “surveillance”. He went into the bathroom and took out the photon computer hidden under the sink, itching to enter the game.
…..
No matter how intelligent an AI system is, it’s still a system. As long as Xiu Jin won the game’s copyright, he can change an AI system any time.
Therefore, Xiu Jin now treats the system with the attitude of a “Gold Master”[7]TN: a.k.a sugar daddy, and uses actions to show that— if you don’t listen to him, that means you don’t want to live.
Facing such a threat, the system squeezed out a line of words as if having a toothache:【… I really don’t know. I would’ve said it earlier if I know.】
【The system is not omnipotent. 】It couldn’t help throwing another jab.
Xiu Jin is quite familiar with the system so he thought that the system would talk nonsense. But he didn’t expect it to be so honest, which made him a little uncomfortable… It seems that his threats have worked. Understanding this he became in a great mood.
After confirming that the system really didn’t know, Xiu Jin didn’t hesitate to discard the useless system and brought his attention back to the screen.
At this time, Bian Bian was already smashing the fifth humanoid cocoon.
Hitting people is also very tiring. Every time the little girl smashes, she will carefully observe whether the cocoon moved. After finding that it didn’t, she is not discouraged.
With a bang, a certain part of the entrance collapsed. Then, the big spider screamed. The sound was extremely shrill and penetrating.
Bian Bian was far away, but her body shook in fear as a conditioned reflex. Jiang Yu, who was closer, almost went crazy. The screams of the big spider condensed into countless long needles, piercing his eardrum along the ear canal, making his heart palpitate and his mind buzzing.
Damn, is this in retaliation for him hiding here to peek?
Jiang Yu bit the tip of his tongue hard, the severe pain kept him awake. During his peeking just now, he didn’t see any shadow of “Dad” at all, or “Dad” wasn’t real and that old monster in loli skin had long since discovered him and deliberately played him, or “Daddy” is invisible. He is on the stadium, but no one else can see him.
Either which, it doesn’t look good.
The poisonous spider seemed to have gone mad. Jiang Yu remembered the business and stepped aside. His target was not in the spider’s food area.
Carefully avoiding the scattered light dusts, Jiang Yu turned into a fish swimming in the dark, and quickly arrived at the place he had explored before, where there was a staircase leading to the second floor.
He quickly ran to the second floor.
There is a transparent glass beside the stairs. Through the glass, you can see the little girl looking for her Uncle Zhu Yuan holding an iron bar as if knocking on a walnut. “She better be a real little girl and not an old monster, or else…”
The inside of the stadium is wide, and most of the offspring of the poisonous spider will return here after foraging outside, so there are a bunch of things they collected everywhere. As Jiang Yu suffered from being turned into a cocoon with the terrifying spider silk, he was previously unable to go to the second floor. But now that all the spider threads disappeared, and the poisonous spider was restrained outside, it was a great opportunity.
Not long after, Jiang Yu found a worn out notebook in a corner on the second floor. Through the faint light, he flipped it open to make sure it was what he was looking for.
Ahuh…
Finally got it. Jiang Yu let out a long sigh of relief, with joy flashing across his eyes, he immediately turned the black bracelet on his wrist, and snapped the ring surface. The case on the bracelet slid open, revealing a red button, which he pressed hard. Invisible fluctuations flowed out of the air.
At the same time, in an office in Nanji[8]TN: South Base— the largest base in the south, a logistics technician jumped up from his seat as if pricked by a needle prick, his face full of surprise: “Jiang Yu’s ‘Confirmation Device’ has responded, he got the notes!”
Soon, a tall and majestic man opened the door and entered, with his deep voice: “Where is Jiang Yu’s location?”
“M City!”
“Send the ‘Mad Dragon’ team over there immediately!”
Jiang Yu put away the notes carefully, and decided not to care about getting revenge for the kick earlier. Leaving with the notes is the priority——
before he could act, the hairs on his hands stood on end as if blown by an invisible wind .
“…”
There was a soft “ci”, like a hand sliding across the wall. If you don’t listen carefully, you will ignore it. Jiang Yu’s body froze in an instant, as if turning into a puppet. He slowly turned around, his bones producing a creaking sound following his movement.
After turning around, he turned his back towards the glass wall. A large number of light spots floated outside the glass, and the voice of the little loli who was smashing corpses in the middle of the stadium, sounded especially loud and clear.
“Ah~ Dad, this tāngyuán[9]TN: Boiled or deep-fried balls of glutinous rice flour, usually eaten during Lantern Festival has moved, it must be Uncle Zhu Yuan.”
The classic Loli voice…
Jiang Yu swallowed in his dry throat. it was pitch black in front of him, there were almost no light spots on the second floor, there was only a faint light, and there was nothing on the opposite side.
But the feeling of being watched was getting stronger and stronger.
No, the feeling doesn’t come in front, but— the top of the head!
Jiang Yu, who suddenly understood, looked up abruptly. The white flower on the top of his head lit up, a soft white light immediately shone— ten centimeters away from the top of his head, a snake head opened its mouth wide.
“Fuck me…!” Jiang Yu pointed his toes. At the critical moment, his body shot backwards like a cannonball, and narrowly avoided the snake’s head in 0.01 seconds. He smashed into the glass, and his whole body flew out from the second floor and then fell. Coincidentally smashing into the silkworm cocoon that was hit by Bian Bian’s stick and started to struggle.
Bian Bian recognized him and was surprised: “You are that uncle just now…”
A big snake as thick as a bucket chased out from the gap on the second floor. It went straight to its target, Jiang Yu, fast and ruthlessly. Jiang Yu subconsciously hugged Bian Bian and rolled to the side.
Touching his body, he found that the seed germinators were gone, and there’s no seeds anymore, so he couldn’t use his ability to grow vines. Jiang Yu couldn’t think about where the big snake came from. With its fat and strong body, it is estimated to be at the same level as the poisonous spider. He yelled at Bian Bian: “My seeds are gone, let your dad help!”
The next second, Jiang Yu saw from the corner of his eye, the body of the big snake flying in midair abruptly paused for about two to three seconds.
When it hit the ground with a bang, its rocket-speed just now turned into that of an old and dilapidated bus in an instant. As if a mountain was pressing on it, making it so laborious to move.
“Daddy is amazing!” Bian Bian’s eyes were shining brightly, remembering that it was the same the last time when she encountered a monster. The monster suddenly crawled very slowly.
Jiang Yu: “…”
As expected of the ‘dad’ who can kick him flying away.
Daddy Xiu, who pressed his finger on the screen, was a little flattered by his baby’s compliment~
