Yu Xingqiao stared blankly at the game screen.
Under his gaze, the small ball of light turned from white to black, and finally transformed into a human form.
It was a little boy about three or four years old, with black hair and red pupils, wrapped in a tattered dress.
His upper body was hidden in the dim shadows, and his facial features could not be seen clearly, only his pale face and white and chapped lips could be vaguely distinguished.
His figure was very thin, his chest was exposed to the silvery moonlight, and one could see that his bare skin was densely covered with scars of varying severity.
How pitiful, who hurt him like this
Yu Xingqiao looked at the little boy, his delicate brows knit into a small knot.
He felt that he was miserable enough, but he didn't expect that there was someone worse than him, even though the other party was just a paper man.
No, he wants to save him, he cannot be caught!
"Is it possible to save him if he is adopted? But how to adopt him?" Yu Xingqiao said to himself.
Suddenly, the system box popped up.
[The cubs of the Clan of Light are in crisis]
[You can try to adopt through the following methods, and the system will help you communicate with the cub]
[1. Intimidation][2. Incentive]
Yu Xingqiao blinked and made a quick decision.
[You chose [Incentive]]
[Please select the item you want to [Induce] from the following options]
[1. Food][2. Medicine]
[3. Weapon][4. Props]
Yu Xingqiao originally wanted to choose 3, but on second thought, he clicked 4 again.
It's impossible to give artifacts at the beginning, right? With ordinary weapons, how could this child deal with so many heavily armed pursuers with his small body and serious injuries
[You chose [props] to lure]
[Please choose an item from the following options to [Incentive]]
[1. Invisibility aura (for 30 minutes), need to deduct 500 gold coins]
[2. Wisdom reduction aura (for 10 minutes), need to deduct 1000 gold coins]
[3. Invincible halo (lasting 1 minute), 10,000 diamonds need to be deducted]
[4. Safe house, 100,000 diamonds need to be deducted]
gold? diamond
Yu Xingqiao glanced at the upper right corner of the game interface, gold coins: 500, diamonds: 0.
The 500 gold coins were there when he first entered the game. It should be the initial funds given away. He quickly scanned all the options and directly chose the first one.
[You chose [Invisibility Halo (30 minutes)] to lure]
[Successfully deducted 500 gold coins]
[Start to lure [a wild cub]]
In the cave, the little boy stared coldly at the approaching soldiers, his small face was hidden in the darkness, and his red pupils were filled with murderous aura.
It wasn't long before he realized something was wrong.
Why did the soldiers of this team still seem to have not noticed him after he had changed into a human form
"Da da da—" the hard-soled leather shoes hit the ground, making a crisp sound in the silent night.
"Patter—"
Just now, the soldier walking towards him turned on the flashlight, and a bright beam of light shone towards him.
It's now!
The little boy wanted to take action subconsciously, but two words in capital letters and bold appeared in front of his eyes.
[do not move]
what's the situation
The little boy froze for a moment, then—
Oops!
He gritted his teeth, annoyed at the missed opportunity, but saw another soldier approaching and said, "There is nothing here, did you read it wrong?"
The light of the two flashlights scanned him, but they ignored him as if they couldn't see him.
[Invisibility aura (30 minutes) is in effect]
A line of glowing words appeared in front of his eyes again, and the little boy's heart skipped a beat.
Invisibility halo
In the upper right corner of his sight, a clock-like pattern appeared, with only the minute and second hands, and the second hand started to move from 0.
[Hello!]
That line appeared again.
The little boy closed his eyes and opened them again, only to find that the line of words was still frozen in front of his eyes, as if it was not his hallucination.
Who are you? What do you want to do
[I am the system.]
[As you can see, the [Invisibility Halo] is protecting you, but you only have 30 minutes of safety time. During this time, you can speak, but it is best to stay where you are and not move.]
The little boy frowned.
This system seems to be able to hear his heart
He didn't move or speak, waiting for the guy who called himself the system to continue.
[The only remaining cub of the Light Clan in this world, are you willing to sign a contract with my host?]
The little boy was taken aback.
Seeing the only remaining words in the world, he couldn't help clenching his fists, anger and sadness burned in his ruby-like eyes.
'I'm not a cub. ' he said in his mind.
The small characters hanging in the air paused for a moment, and then a mirror slowly appeared in front of the little boy.
Looking at himself in the mirror, the little boy's lips were pursed into a straight line, his face was as cold as ice, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
If it wasn't for Thrall, how could he become such a ghost!
[Ask again, are you willing to sign a contract with my host?]
The mirror disappears and the words reappear.
Host, do you mean host? And sign a contract...
The little boy's eyes flickered slightly. He looked at the soldiers in the cave. After searching for nothing, he grabbed the rope and climbed up one by one, and quickly left the cave.
He breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't relax his vigilance immediately.
After thinking about it, he tried in his heart: 'What can I get? Only this invisibility aura? '
[Of course more than that.]
[Wealth, power, strength... you will have everything you want.]
Seeing the small characters floating in front of his eyes, the little boy narrowed his red eyes.
strength…
Yes, he must regain his strength as soon as possible before he can seek revenge on Thrall!
"What do you need me to do?"
The young boy's immature voice was a little hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.
After making the sound, he subconsciously looked up at the cave again, only to find that the soldiers searching for him outside the cave, especially the captain who could detect him, still didn't seem to find him.
He looks away.
[Stay alive and wait for the order.]
[What you can get depends on what the host thinks.]
The little boy looked at the words in front of him, his little face hidden in the darkness seemed to be condensed with ice, and black energy surged in his pair of red pupils.
"Okay, I promise you!" He replied loudly.
As long as he can get revenge, he is willing to sacrifice his soul to the devil!
[You made a correct choice.]
Small characters slowly emerged again: [Then, please tell me your real name.]
Looking at the last line of words that appeared in front of his eyes, the little boy gritted his teeth, his immature voice was so clear in the night, but it was endlessly cold.
"My name is Junlu."
Yu Xingqiao looked at the game screen, and chat bubbles appeared above the little boy's head.
"What do you need me to do?"
Yu Xingqiao blinked, "You don't need to do anything, just keep it for me."
He muttered something softly, and tapped the bubble with his finger, but no options popped up.
"Okay, I promise you!"
"My name is Junlu."
Then, two more chat bubbles popped out from above his head, followed by the system box.
[[Incentive] Success]
[Congratulations on successfully adopting a cub [Jun Lv]]
[Ding~ Congratulations for completing the main task [Adopt a Cub], gold coins +100, feeding bottles +1, miracle coins +1]
[Zai Zai [Jun Lv]'s information has been updated, you can click on the avatar in the upper left corner to view it]
An avatar appears in the upper left corner of the game interface.
Yu Xingqiao finally saw the little boy's face clearly. He has black hair and red pupils, handsome and profound facial features, cute and beautiful like a doll.
Wow, this is too pretty!
Jun law? What a domineering name!
Yu Xingqiao couldn't help stretching out his finger, poking the profile picture, and the updated information appeared.
[Cubs who look at the stars]
Name: JunLy
Race: Clan of Light
Growth: infancy
Rarity: SSS
Description: The only remaining cub of the Light Clan, this one is on the verge of extinction
Status: Seriously injured, hungry, in stealth (25 minutes left)
Then there are blood bars, blue bars, and physical strength. These three values are basically bottoming out.
Seriously injured and hungry, this needs to be treated and eaten.
Yu Xingqiao frowned and flipped through his backpack.
The backpack has a total of 10 slots, and it is empty, only a feeding bottle and a prop called a miracle coin just given.
[Miracle Coin]
Function: used when exchanging special goods
Description: As long as you think about it, miracles will happen.
Yu Xingqiao did some research, but he didn't find where to exchange special products, and the baby bottle was also empty, just an ordinary bottle with a pacifier.
So, where is he going to find milk for Xiao Junlu to eat
Yu Xingqiao looked at the little boy worryingly.
And Xiao Junlu's brows were also deeply frowned, almost becoming the word Chuan, as if he was suffering, which made him feel even more guilty.
At this time, the little boy pursed his lips and looked up at the top of the cave.
Yu Xingqiao's vision also lifted up.
The movement above the cave has subsided, but the little boy still has a wary expression on his face.
Haven't the pursuers left yet
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, there was another figure shaking above.
At the bottom of the game interface, white words on a black background appeared again: [Let's go, he's not here anymore.]
"Wow, these NPCs are so cunning!" Yu Xingqiao looked at the copywriting and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Suddenly, a bubble appeared above Xiao Junlu's head.
"Well-"
The little boy covered his mouth.
He closed his eyes in pain, trying his best to bear it.
Blood slowly gushed out from between the fingers, staining the little boy's palm red, winding down his elbow, a drop of blood dripped silently to the ground, splashing a few dust particles.
"Mist grass, the cub is vomiting blood!"
Yu Xingqiao panicked for a while, completely not knowing what to do.
At this time, the system box popped up again.
[Zai Zai [Jun Lv]'s injury worsened]
[Ding~ Congratulations on successfully unlocking [System Mall], gold coins +100, total gold coins: 200]
[You can purchase medicines through the [System Mall] to treat the cubs]
At the same time, an icon suddenly appeared in the lower left corner of the game, two small houses, with the word "mall" written on it.
System mall? Is it this one
Yu Xingqiao stretched out his finger, and just about to click on the icon, he heard a muffled sound in his ear, as if he was wrapped by something—
"Who vomited blood?"
Yu Xingqiao was startled, and quickly turned off the phone screen.
Turning around, I saw a nurse wearing a protective suit who came to him at some point.
"No, nothing."
Yu Xingqiao shook his head in a panic, thinking of something, he secretly glanced at the countdown, and found that ten minutes had already come.
"It's been half an hour, and I need to rest for ten minutes." The nurse said softly, then took his mobile phone and put it in the pocket of the protective suit.
Yu Xingqiao blinked, but he didn't expect that he played for not only ten minutes, but half an hour!
"Oh..." He nodded slightly.
Looking at the confiscated mobile phone, he felt a little itchy in his heart, but he didn't say anything to embarrass the nurse.
Although the doctor did not prohibit him from playing electronic products, he was stipulated to take a break every half hour.
I still remember that he was ignorant when he was a child, and became addicted to playing games, and often pestered the nurse to let him play for a while.
Once the nurse forgot to turn off the computer and let him play continuously for three hours. He didn't realize until he passed out. When he woke up again, he never saw the nurse again.
Since then he has learned to be obedient.
Because, his little mistakes will bring endless troubles to those around him.
"There's so much nutrient solution left over, that's not okay." The nurse lady picked up the nutrient solution he had just put aside, looked at it carefully, and said.
Hearing this, Yu Xingqiao felt a little guilty.
"I'm not very hungry..." he muttered softly.
The boy sitting on the bed has a thin body, a small face the size of a palm, exquisite and beautiful facial features, and delicate skin without any blemishes, just like a newborn baby.
It's just that his complexion was morbidly pale. Even through the goggles, the nurse could still see the delicate and fragile blood vessels under his immature skin.
There was a bit of distress in the eyes of the nurse lady.
Because of the lack of innate immunity, Yu Xingqiao not only had to live in a sterile room since he was a child, but also paid attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The staple food can only eat liquid nutrient solution, and other fried, roasted, fried and grilled foods that ordinary people are used to cannot eat. The drink is only distilled water. Occasionally, you can drink some glucose water or saline, and you have to drink it regularly.
Due to the lack of immunity, not only small bacteria will kill him, but also his body is as fragile as a glass doll in all aspects, and a little carelessness will bring serious consequences.
For a child of his age, who doesn't call friends and friends after school every day, eat delicious food and drink spicy food? No matter how bad it is, there are meals in the cafeteria and snacks in the canteen.
As for Yu Xingqiao, what he had was only the nutrient solution he had eaten for more than ten years, and one special candy a week.
The nurse could not help but soften her tone.
"It's okay, tell me when you're hungry."
She patted the top of the boy's hair, and said with empathy, "Recently, a strawberry cake-flavored nutrient solution has been released. I'll change it for you next time. You should like it."
Through the thick protective clothing, Yu Xingqiao didn't actually feel the temperature of the nurse's palm, but he just felt very happy. Every time the nurse did this, he felt a warm feeling in his heart.
He smiled slightly, revealing two small dimples on his cheeks, lining his ivory white skin, soft and cute, like a little boy who came out of a cartoon, beautiful and cute.
Then, he heard the nurse lady ask again: "How is it? Is the game of raising cubs fun?"
Yu Xingqiao couldn't help but froze, he remembered the bet he had with the nurse lady.
