Mini World Game Console-Chapter 795 - 796: Mortality Rate UP↑↑↑
March 31, Sunday.
Ren Suo naturally woke up early in the morning, gave a big, lazy stretch, feeling refreshed and clear-headed.
These past few days, he hadn't had any exhausting nightmares, and his sleep quality had greatly improved. However, it wasn't that he hadn't dreamt at all; it's just that the dreams were somewhat subtly... mundane?
His dreams these days had all been exactly the same. Ren Suo could vaguely remember that in his dreams, he was taking care of many, many babies. One little baby needed milk, another had soiled themselves, and just as he finished with these two, another two children began to cry. He then had to check if other children were climbing up and down, or licking the floor or the walls. During feeding, he had to mind the water temperature, and use a wet wipe when cleaning their bottoms—it was like taking care of five little monsters that couldn't breathe fire.
The first night he had this dream, Ren Suo was still all over the place.
The second night, Ren Suo suddenly remembered in his dream that he had "Listening Headphones" and "Desire Resonance." He then equipped them in his dream, listened to the children's cries, and immediately knew what they needed, his work efficiency skyrocketing.
By the third night, this dream no longer made Ren Suo tired.
On the fourth night, Ren Suo started to challenge more efficient ways of care.
By the fifth night, having found all the answers through "Desire Resonance," Ren Suo no longer needed this Skill and could simply tell what the babies wanted by their cries.
Until today, Ren Suo was thoroughly lost in Enjoyment, eagerly entering his dreams every night.
Taking care of these babbling little monsters, watching them laugh heartily from his care, crawl into his embrace to act spoiled, and cling to him to play... this sense of achievement from conquering a boss with his own strength gave Ren Suo immense satisfaction.
And when they weren't crying, they really were super cute; there was a quiet little boy who would quietly look at picture books, a little girl who loved to be pampered and liked to sleep in his arms, a little girl who always held a large doll and liked watching TV, and two little girls who liked to play and make trouble while hanging on him.
No matter how tragically his girlfriends tormented him at night, no matter how tired or disheartening it was, as long as he saw this group of little creatures in his dreams, Ren Suo felt as if he could immediately recover his Energy to face another round of torment the next day!
After brushing his teeth and washing his face, Ren Suo looked at the time and realized he actually had a bit of free time.
Last night, after he was done serving Luna, whether it was because Luna curiously touched him, which caused discontent among them, or because Ren Suo secretly touched Luna and they found out, just as Ren Suo was rushing home to take a cold shower, Qiao Muyi suddenly said, "How about we add half an hour?"
The others readily agreed.
Then, Ren Suo could only drag his tired body home to rest after 1:00 a.m. He took a full half-hour shower, only then did he thoroughly cool the fervor within him and regain his Calmness.
However, also because of that, and since everyone had the day off today because it was the weekend, today's on-clock…work…service…date time was delayed to 8:30 a.m.
Now, Ren Suo still had half an hour to freely move and get ready, then he would go to Dong Chengling's home and prepare breakfast with Dong Chengling.
Actually, Ren Suo's schedule wasn't necessarily packed; after all, everyone had to work, engage in Cultivation, and study, so they couldn't spend all their time dating. He still had plenty of time to plan for himself, but four times were constant: breakfast time belonged to Dong Chengling, nap time belonged to Gu Yueyan, post-dinner dessert time belonged to his sister, and late-night snack time belonged to Luna.
Due to Qiao Muyi's unstable work hours and the Tactical Bureau being busy with many tasks recently, she could only sneak in dating time with Ren Suo. Anyway, she would definitely not let herself be shortchanged; the whispering and intimate moments with Ren Suo would only increase, never decrease.
But apart from these times, Ren Suo spent basically all his time on Cultivation.
There were three reasons. Firstly, Ren Suo had once advanced to the Sixth Transformation. Although it only lasted for a little over ten minutes before he was quickly reverted to his original state, the Level Six Cyclone was real. Just in those minutes, the overclocked Level Six Cyclone continuously used Spiritual Energy to feed back into Ren Suo's body. It was as if Ren Suo had suddenly risen to level 60, his Health Points bar and Energy bar suddenly extending by a third. Although the Health Points and Energy could only slowly increase through natural Recovery, and after those ten-plus minutes, that extended Health Points bar and Energy bar were gone, Ren Suo's current Health Points bar and Energy bar were far superior to his level 40 self. If Ren Suo didn't care, his Physical Condition would naturally revert to its normal level, the temporary enhancement disappearing. However, if Ren Suo could grasp this timing to cultivate, he could permanently fix this enhancement, and even his Physical Condition could feed back to the Qi Cyclone, speeding up his Cultivation speed.
Secondly, apart from the Sixth Transformation Cultivation, Ren Suo also received a great gift—during the first twenty days of this month, because he had exchanged for a "Fourth-Level Cultivation Card," his Qi Cyclone had been continuously maintaining 20% progress in his Fourth-Rank Cultivation. Compared to the short-lived Sixth Transformation Cultivation, this Cultivation, which had existed for twenty days, had a great impact on Ren Suo. The most noticeable impact was that Ren Suo's Cultivation speed these days had increased by 300%. The Qi Cyclone seemed to still retain the feeling of being at fourth transformation 20%, and while cultivating, his progress was incredibly smooth, giving Ren Suo a thorough Enjoyment of the feeling of being a 'Genius'—no wonder Cheng Ling liked Cultivation so much, this kind of rapid effect, this sense of achievement where every step forward was clearly perceptible, really could give people unparalleled happiness. However, Ren Suo did not know when this 'Genius boost' would dissipate, so he could only make the most of his time to cultivate. Even if he was lazy, he wouldn't pass up such a great windfall.
The last reason, of course, was because...Ren Suo was afraid of death.
Without Cultivation, how could he recover his Physical Strength? Without Cultivation, how could his power increase? In the short term, if Ren Suo cultivated well, he could quickly recover his Physical Strength; otherwise, he would definitely be tormented into a frail state by this endless trial. In the long run, if Ren Suo could advance to the Fifth Tier first, he could naturally suppress his girlfriends in terms of strength and thus have no further worries. Cultivation is the ultimate method that addresses both the symptoms and the root cause!
However, Ren Suo also knew that to overpower his girlfriends with strength, the Mini-World Game Console would have to suddenly become extraordinarily generous and grant him cheats. Cheng Ling was said to have touched the threshold of the Fifth Tier, Young Master Mu was unrivaled amongst his peers, Gu Yueyan's Cultivation speed was Extremely Fast, and his sister wasn't far from the third turn. Luna… Ren Suo directly ignored Luna. The reason Luna's power wasn't strong was merely because the Moon Chanter was still merging with the power of the Moon God. Once the Moon Chanter completed the integration and shared the power with Luna's True Form… let alone Ren Suo himself, even all of Ren Suo's game characters might not be enough for Luna alone. Addressing the root of the problem seemed unrealistic; managing the symptoms, however, was feasible. As long as the girlfriends didn't push him further…
Ren Suo opened the intranet on his computer, dealt with some emails, and then discovered a "Truth Research Group" within the network.
Ren Suo scrutinized it and found that the group was sizable, encompassing multiple research institutes. They captured the images leaked the instant the Door of Truth was opened, analyzing them in various ways.
This wasn't just a mere plan, as someone had already produced results!
Someone had posted a photo depicting a fantastical scene: a young man floating cross-legged in mid-air, wearing a helmet laden with sci-fi tubes, surrounded by bizarre Rainbow Lights. He looked like he was cultivating but also like he was playing a Holographic Infiltration Game—clearly an image "from the future."
The researchers indicated that this photo was synthesized by decoding the images of Truth and performing multiple translations, all without using any external materials, deriving the image directly from data arrangement. They also provided specific Truth images and analysis methods, allowing other researchers to verify the authenticity, which was fundamentally flawless.
Therefore, the entire intranet's researchers were frantically studying the Truth images, with two prevailing theories:
① The descent of Truth completely fixes the past and future, allowing us to observe the inevitable future now.
② The descent of Truth breaks the constraints of time and space, letting them glimpse uncertain futures through Truth.
In any case, observing the future through the Truth images was virtually a settled fact!
As Ren Suo scrolled further, he realized the forum on the intranet was practically a carnival for the researchers!
With the emergence of the Truth images, these researchers, skilled in intellectual tasks, had been wildly scoring points these past few days without much effort!
Even if the information analyzed wasn't very useful, the state was not stingy with rewards, strongly encouraging them!
Ren Suo glanced at it and gave up; after all, he wasn't cut out for such technically demanding analysis work, dealing with binary or Fourier and all that—who understands it anyway.
Seeing that it was about time, Ren Suo treated himself to two pieces of mint-flavored chewing gum, readying himself for today's trial.
He suddenly remembered something, returned to the living room, and turned on the Mini-World Game Console.
"Mini~World~so~much~fun~"
The startup sound was cutesy, maddeningly adorable, making Ren Suo's face practically bleed from the cuteness.
He immediately launched the Mystic Tavern and then selected "Serving the People."
In an instant, Ren Suo was at the bar of the Mystic Tavern.
It was quite crowded today, but unfortunately, Ren Suo had no time to spare.
The moment Ren Suo appeared, everyone in the tavern looked at him and laughed. The adventurer shouted, "Brother Suo, are you still holding up? Have a flammable Oolong tea, on me!"
He didn't answer but adjusted his working hours to "200 minutes" and then prepared to use "Night Moon Warrior."
They deliberately shouted loudly again, "Brother Suo, going to 'lick' your girlfriend again?"
Ren Suo widened his eyes and said, "Why would you slander someone out of thin air..."
Zhao Zili retorted loudly, "What innocence? Yesterday, while chatting with Ilina, she said she saw on the surveillance camera that a female student dragged you to the library to study. You were too lazy to read, so you could only 'lick' your girlfriend, and your public display of affection made all the nearby students run away."
Ren Suo's face turned red, veins popping on his forehead as he argued, "Licking isn't the word... She's my girlfriend! My girlfriend! Can what happens in a relationship even be called 'licking'?" He followed with some incomprehensible statements, like "One must finish the road they chose, even if they have to crawl," and "it's a test," causing everyone to burst into laughter, filling the tavern with an air of happiness.
After Ren Suo ran off, leaving behind only a clone, the laughter in the tavern gradually subsided.
The adventurer put down his cup. "Alas."
Zhao Zili put down the honey chicken wing in his hand. "Although I say I'm envious..."
Ren Han crossed his arms and shook his head. "But I truly am envious."
The three of them exclaimed in unison, "I'm so jealous!"
With a creak, someone else entered the tavern. The adventurer took a glance and wondered, "88, how come you always arrive right after that guy leaves? You two really have no fate, huh?"
"First, don't call me 88, or I'll smash your dog head."
The Moon Chanter strode towards the bar and said calmly, "Second, there's no such thing as fate in this world, merely the excuses of the weak."
"And I…" The Moon Chanter glanced at the adventurer, her eyes shining with supreme divine light, "can sever cause and effect with a wave of my hand, see the future with my eyes open… It is I who do not wish to see him."
The adventurer dared not move a muscle, immediately sobered by the Moon Chanter's overwhelming presence.
Ren Han slightly raised his eyebrows.
The Moon Chanter had grown stronger. With the rules of the external world solidified by Truth, the Moon Chanter, as a deity of Earth... probably possessed many wondrous Divine Skills that he could hardly imagine.
The Moon Chanter ignored them, sat at the bar, looked at the clone of him before her, and exhaled softly. "This is the revenge I can exact for you.
"He has brought Luna much Joy these past few days, and Luna's Joy is more important than anything. I couldn't possibly go against Luna's wishes to harm him… I even have to help him, guide him.
"So, this is the greatest trouble I can cause him while still ostensibly helping him.
"I make him experience, every night, the most terrifying nightmares and catastrophes he is destined to encounter in his future."
「Later that morning.」
Ren Suo and Dong Chengling finished preparing breakfast, and the others had arrived as well. Qiao Muyi didn't Teleport today; instead, she drove over.
Dong Chengling sat down, and Ren Suo, very conscientiously, cut her sandwich into small pieces and fed her with a fork. Meanwhile, Dong Chengling placed her tablet on the dining table, replied to inquiries about space from Sky Capital, all while experiencing the Enjoyment of Ren Suo's service.
Dong Chengling really liked being fed by others.
This was one of the pleasures she had discovered these past few days.
It allowed her to use mealtime to get some miscellaneous work done and also enjoy her boyfriend's attentive service.
Compared to the pleasures of other people, this particular pleasure made Ren Suo feel particularly grateful, presenting almost a risk-free test for him.
The final step was the tricky part.
Because after breakfast, her mouth needed to be wiped.
This step naturally needed to be done by Ren Suo as well.
Also, because Dong Chengling was not very proactive, Ren Suo rarely had a chance to kiss her.
Following Dong Chengling's hint, Ren Suo just had to combine the two actions.
At that moment, Ren Suo suddenly remembered the false accusations made against him by the adventurer and Zhao Zili. Yes, those were false accusations! This was just a bit of fun!
As Dong Chengling showed a contented expression, Ren Suo licked his own oily lips and started eating breakfast.
He had been busy feeding Dong Chengling; how could he have time to eat? And of course, only a clean mouth could wipe another clean—if his own mouth was oily, how could he clean hers properly…
Well, today's start was good. Cheng Ling hadn't made any unexpected moves, and everyone's resentment was within an acceptable range. Death rate down↓. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
After finishing the meal, everyone headed out together.
Ren Suo didn't know where they were going; he only knew they would be out all day, and that today, his body did not belong to himself.
He, Cheng Ling, Young Master Mu, his sister, Yueyan, Luna, and Little Jiu were all going. Among them, Luna was in her cat form, and Little Jiu could sit on someone's lap, so Qiao Muyi's car could just about fit everyone, though it was a bit cramped in the back.
However, being a little cramped in the back was actually perfect for them.
This time, Dong Chengling was driving while Qiao Muyi sat in the passenger seat.
Qiao Muyi wasn't driving because she feared that seeing the scene in the rearview mirror might disturb her emotions, causing 'rage driving' which could lead to traffic accidents—'rage driving' is in some ways more dangerous than 'drunk driving'.
In the back, Ren Xingmei held Little Jiu, and Little Jiu held Luna.
Next to them naturally was Ren Suo, and beside him was Gu Yueyan, who was pressed up entirely against Ren Suo. Gu Yueyan watched a movie on her phone, sharing one earphone with Ren Suo.
Even after several days of testing, Gu Yueyan still didn't become bold.
But she would initiate physical contact with Ren Suo, locking fingers with him.
This was one of the pleasures from which she derived great Enjoyment.
Actually, this source of Enjoyment posed no risk to Ren Suo, but Gu Yueyan's very presence was a tremendous risk. I don't know which jerk (most likely Lin Xianyu) gave Gu Yueyan some solid advice on dressing strategies, resulting in Gu Yueyan dressing super cool, cute, and pretty every day. Today, she wore an off-shoulder hollow embroidered blouse that fully highlighted her criminally stunning figure. The allure of youth mingled with maturity made Ren Suo lose his wits at a mere glance. If Ren Suo didn't fancy her, then fine, but the thing is, Ren Suo has feelings and desires! However, Ren Suo hadn't forgotten that this was a test for him! Although he didn't know what they were testing exactly, there was no way he would make a move on one of them in front of his other girlfriends! That's not gentlemanly at all! And the death rate would go UP! Ren Suo had no choice but to force himself to focus on the phone screen. Mmm, the movie was quite good.
A minute later, Ren Suo lay in Gu Yueyan's arms, rubbing against her from time to time. Sweet relief. Mortality rate UP↑.
Half an hour later, after Ren Xingmei had stepped on his foot for the seventeenth time and Qiao Muyi almost broke traffic laws by turning around in the passenger seat, looking at him with bitten lips and a face full of grievances, Ren Suo finally realized something was wrong.
He sat up straight and looked out the window, wondering, "Are we leaving Lotus River?"
"Yes," Ren Xingmei withdrew her foot and nodded gently.
"Then where are we going? To a scenic spot for a tour?"
"No." Qiao Muyi's seductive eyes were full of wistfulness. She pouted, glanced at Ren Suo, then turned back and sat properly, saying, "We're going to Baiyun City."
"Baiyun? …" Ren Suo was startled. "Why are we going there…?"
"I'm meeting my godmother. As for them…" Qiao Muyi gestured towards the others. "As your girlfriends, isn't it perfectly reasonable for us to visit your parents?"
Ren Suo blinked. If it were any other time, Ren Suo wouldn't be afraid or flustered, but now…? And it wasn't just one girlfriend he was bringing, but all of them to meet his parents!? Ren Suo felt a bit chicken! But he couldn't refuse! So he asked quietly, "Then... after we get to my house, can the test be paused temporarily?"
"Test?" Qiao Muyi blinked and then smiled. "You don't need to worry about that."
Before Ren Suo could breathe a sigh of relief, Qiao Muyi continued, "It will indeed continue as usual, and… it will be more interesting."
Qiao Muyi, Gu Yueyan, Ren Xingmei, and Dong Chengling exchanged glances.
'Jealousy Trial,' second stage, begins!
Ren Suo was stunned for a moment, then lay back in Gu Yueyan's arms, deep in thought. Bringing all his girlfriends to meet his parents, and maybe even having to show affection in front of them... His parents haven't forgiven his crush on his sister yet! Just thinking about it feels like it could blow up in an instant! What if his mom kicks him out of the house? Right, him; the others probably wouldn't have problems. What if his mom only favors one of them as her daughter-in-law? That's quite possible. What if his mom deliberately makes a scene!? A troubled Ren Suo nestled in Gu Yueyan's arms; in this precarious love life, where he felt like he was walking on thin ice, only these fleeting moments of peace could bring him some solace. Mortality rate UP↑↑↑.
