Four bubbles were arranged one after another above the blanket, giving Li Shuoxing a momentary trance.
A sudden urge to poke the bubbles arose.
He wanted to poke the text bubbles one by one and squeeze the little person to make him spit more bubbles outâŚ
However, this thought was a bit dangerous.
Li Shuoxing temporarily stopped his brain.
He looked at the time. It was already 8am, and the little person still hadnât woken up.
This setting of sleeping in, how should he put it, was really very real. It even felt a little like an arrow in the knee, a vague painâŚ
Li Shuoxing subconsciously touched his knee and decided not to disturb the little person for now.
Since the cubâs sleepy, let him sleep.
In reality, everyone has to work and study so they canât sleep all the time. But youâre a game character. Canât you decide how long you need to sleep?
Having made a decision, Li Shuoxing no longer disturbed Su Mingqian. He just tugged the edge of the blanket with his finger and pulled it down a little, freeing the little personâs head so that he could breathe smoothly.
After doing that, Li Shuoxing tapped on the lottery interface.
The deep space once again spread on the screen, and a wishing bottle filled with diamond hearts was floating in the air. The lottery tickets had changed from one to two, and the doll was still sitting in its original position, looking unchanged.
After Li Shuoxing rubbed his hands and said a silent prayer, he pressed the lottery ticket and moved it to the doll.
The moment the thin lottery ticket touched the dollâs palm, the originally quiet doll suddenly moved.
It stood up from the ground, took the lottery ticket from Li Shuoxingâs hand, stuffed it into the small pocket of its clothes, then took out a basket from behind its back.
The basket was made of bamboo, with a circle of small yellow and white flowers and some green leaves around the edge, which was quite cute. However, what was cutest was the little personâs chibi avatars sporadically covering the green leaves.
Some of these avatars were smiling, some were frowning, some were aggrieved, some were cold-shouldered. The very few strokes were simple and vivid.
Holding its bamboo basket, the doll stepped forward, pattering its feet, all the way to beneath the wishing bottle. Then, it stretched its hands flat and held the basket aloft, waiting for a diamond heart to drop.
This is the time!
Li Shuoxing shook the wishing bottle and saw a vast amount of diamond hearts tumbling and shaking like a sea of sand in the wishing bottle. After a moment, a heart broke away from its brethren, rolled through the narrow passage, and fell into the dollâs bamboo basket.
A glimmer of light bloomed from the heart.
Gold, purple, blue and green, the four colours rotated in the heart successively, and then, the colours began to change rapidly and chaotically, finally stopping at gold, gold, gold, really goldâ
âShit!â
Li Shuoxing blurted out.
His retinas had clearly captured the golden light blooming, but at the last second, an intense green light rushed out of the diamond heart and engulfed the golden light, then bloomed completely.
Amid the green light, an object jumped out from the centre of the diamond heart.
It was a small bottle with a transparent liquid inside.
Whatâs this?
Li Shuoxing blankly poked at it, and the system immediately popped out with the description.
[Name]: Snow Ridge Buddhist Temple (5ml)
[Note]: A limited-edition precious perfume. Because itâs too precious, this is only a trial version sample.
Li Shuoxing: ââŚâ
Li Shuoxing: â???â
No.
If you said you gave me a precious perfume, Iâd barely accept it.
In the end, you gave me a sample of a precious perfume.
Do you have something against me personally? Or is everything in your prize pool so shabby?
Li Shuoxing, who hadnât yet recovered from the regret of missing the gold item, looked at the game incredulously.
Filled with frustration, he exited the game, reopened Weibo, and forwarded the koi heâd just forwarded again, with the text experience:
âIt had the reverse effect.â
Within two minutes the Weibo post was published, comments had arrived. He opened them to see:
âHahahahahahahahaha LMAO.â
âI didnât expect the lottery to follow the law of conservation of goodness so well.â
âEunuch Ximu has told us with facts to behave and not be a eunuch.â
âXimuzi, my promise still stands. 100,000 words, and Iâll draw for you.â
The comments were simply unreadable.
I have nothing to say to you!
Li Shuoxing got double depression.
He decided to return to the game, but before he did, he put âSnow Ridge Buddhist Templeâ in the search bar.
He felt the name of this perfume sounded familiar, as if heâd heard it beforeâŚ
It wasnât an illusion.
Because in reality, this perfume really existed.
And it was really quite expensiveâŚ
The game designers were probably too lazy to name it, so they copied a few names from reality.
Li Shuoxing was speechless for a moment. âWell, a limited-edition perfume that costs nearly ten thousand yuan⌠is indeed quite precious.â
After such a delay, when Li Shuoxing entered the game again, he found that the little person in the room had gotten up at some point and was observing the perfume heâd just drawn.
Not only that, but he also held the bottle of perfume and sprayed it into the air. After carefully sniffing it, he turned the nozzle around and sprayed it on himself.
Li Shuoxing: ââŚAwake?â
Su Mingqian: âYep.â
Li Shuoxing: ââŚThis perfume?â
Su Mingqian: âIt smells very nice. I like it very much.â
A +5 and a little smiling expression appeared together above the little personâs head, proving that the little person was being truthful.
Li Shuoxing: ââŚâ
He was in a bit of a subtle mood.
I always feel like todayâs cub is a little different from yesterdayâs cub.
He seems to be a little more unrestrained?
Li Shuoxing thought of the hidden task heâd completed yesterday.
It turned out that the difference in favourability points really affected the little personâs behaviour.
This game had finally succeeded in redeeming itself. It was indeed a love game.
However⌠if negative favourability triggered the little person to escape, then a positive number under five hundred should be a mode of peaceful coexistence. Now that it was over five hundred, the little person was more unrestrained and casual with him. If the favourability increased further, like exceeding eight hundred or one thousand, would the little personâs attitude go up another level, like sticking to his leg and unable to be torn off?
Li Shuoxing really wanted to see that scene.
JustâŚ
He took a look at the favourability pool in the upper left corner.
Trash game, itâs too damn hard to add favourability points!
After the daily insults, Li Shuoxing wasnât angry anymore. In fact, he was happy the moment the little person expressed that he liked the perfume.
Whatâs the purpose of playing the game?
To raise a cub.
Whatâs the purpose of the lottery?
To draw what the cub likes and wants.
Since the little person likes it, whether itâs gold or green, genuine or sampleâ
âNo no, it doesnât matter if itâs gold or green; itâs just a colour anyway. But thereâs still a difference between genuine and sample. When the sample runs out later, Iâll have to buy the genuine one. Mm⌠The game store should sell the genuine, right?â
Li Shuoxing didnât visit the store for now.
He still had an unused lottery ticket in his hand.
Opening the lottery page again, Li Shuoxingâs mindset shifted. Instead of pursuing the golden light, he started pursuing another fun item that would allow him to unlock some new postures for the cub.
With a calm mind, he used the lottery ticket.
With a calm mind, he shook the wishing bottle.
A diamond heart fell into the basket again.
The four colours flashed as before.
Li Shuoxing calmly looked at the screen and saw a golden light rush out of the heart and a shiny ticket pop out of it.
Li Shuoxing, who wasnât prepared for failure last time, was again not prepared for success this time.
He was a bit dazed and didnât know whether he should celebrate. After all, this prize for this draw looked even stranger than the last oneâŚ
âConsidering this gameâs natureâŚâ
Li Shuoxing hesitated for a few seconds. Instead of celebrating, he tapped on the ticket first to see what it was.
[Name]: Plane Ticket
[Note]: This is a plane ticket for an unknown destination. Using this ticket will open an arbitrary door in the courtyard. When Su Mingqian passes through the door, he will reach the unknown destination. Itâs time for your lover to take a trip.
âThisâŚâ Li Shuoxing looked at the note and was puzzled. âSince the function is to open an arbitrary door in the courtyard that leads to anywhere, wouldnât it better to just call this thing an arbitrary door? Why call it a plane ticket?â
Now wasnât the time to complain.
Li Shuoxing studied the plane ticket more closely.
A door appears in the courtyard.
Make the little person pass through this door.
Arrive at an unknown destination.
Embark on a trip.
EmmâŚ
It looks familiar.
Like a certain game thatâs popular.
Mum and dad go online for five minutes, pack up the cubâs luggage, and the cub goes away for three to five days, only sending back postcards, while mum and dad have to stay at home and worry:
Has the cub been hungry and cold outside?
Has the cub been bullied outside?
Has the cub been cooked and eaten outside?
Along with his speculation, Li Shuoxingâs expression became more and more complicated.
What I want to draw is something thatâll let me watch my cub play capriciously under my eyes, not something thatâll send my cub away and turn me into a cub-watching rock <sup>1</sup> ćĺ´˝çł is a play on ćĺ¤Ťçł (lit. âthe stone gazing out for her husbandâ), which may be referred to as the Amah Rock . It is a rock shaped much like a woman carrying a baby on her back who is watching for the return of her husband. !
This game really never fails to disappoint when it comes to disappointing!
Li Shuoxing was so angry that he opened the systemâs email function.
This function was only opened yesterday. When he opened it, he found that the email address book had a built-in recipient with the ID 001. It must be the gameâs customer service or admin!
Li Shuoxing opened the email, edited the content and formally protested to the game, âWhat is the meaning of the plane ticket you gave me? I will never accept it, never let him out to travel! If he starves, freezes, is in danger or is bullied, whoâll be responsible? You guys? Iâm not asking for an amazing design. Can you give me something normal? Let me raise my lover well?â
He finished editing and hit send.
The email was sent.
Then, the light screen beeped and an email suddenly appeared.
Su Mingqian: â?â
A question mark slowly rose from his head.
It was the first time heâd seen such a thing on the light screen.
He tried tapping on it, and the email opened.
The entire content of the email that Li Shuoxing had just written appeared in his sight.
Su Mingqian: ââŚâ
Su Mingqian slowly read the sentence in the email: ââNever let him out to travelââŚâ
At this moment, his mind became chaotic.
And amidst the chaos, hope rapidly took root and sprouted, growing into a big tree.
Su Mingqian: âXimu, is this an email from you?â
Su Mingqian: âXimu.â
Su Mingqian: âI want to travel, I want to go out and see.â
