Seeing that Zai Zai fell asleep, Yu Xingqiao took the blanket and gently covered him.
The little child was lying on his side, curled up into a ball. He seemed to have seen it in a film and television drama, and said that such a sleeping position was a sign of insecurity.
So pathetic and cute...
Yu Xingqiao's eyes softened a lot.
Looking at the pink cheeks of the little boy, he felt a little itchy, but just as he stretched out his fingers, he held back and retracted them—
Zai Zai is fighting again today, and being teased by the goblin again, he must be very tired.
He'd better not disturb Zai Zai's sleep.
It's really strange to think about it, it's obviously just a game, and Zai Zai is just a set of data, but he has the feeling that he is a life of flesh and blood, but exists in another way.
Zai Zai will be injured and vomit blood, will be tired and hungry, will also be shy and happy, and will be sad and angry.
All this happened to him, it feels so real, like real life, not like other games, even if the simulation is real, there is often a sense of violation.
Yu Xingqiao supported his chin with one hand, his eyes lingering on Zai Zai's sleeping face.
So beautiful, like a work of art.
He had never observed a person's face so closely before.
From childhood to adulthood, he and his closest relatives had to be separated by a layer of thick protective clothing. If he wanted to see their faces in full, he had to use video.
Speaking of which, the relationship between him and Zai Zai is actually similar. They can only meet each other through the cold phone screen...
A deep sense of loneliness surged from the bottom of my heart.
But soon, he was suppressed by Yu Xingqiao again.
At least, he can see Zai Zai anytime now. If he wants to see him, he just needs to go online, and he doesn't have to worry about whether he is busy, disturbing him, or wasting his time.
Thinking of this, the boy bent his lips silently.
Zai Zai is just a paper man.
But what does it matter? Zai Zai needs him, and he also needs Zai Zai. They are unique and have an extremely close relationship.
Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of Yu Xingqiao's mouth deepened, and the eyes that looked at Zai Zai became softer.
"Xingqiao, it's time to rest for a while." The nurse lady came in from the door and gently reminded her.
"Time flies so fast."
Yu Xingqiao put down his phone and stretched, but he didn't quit the game, so the little fairy's song was still playing in the player.
The nurse said, "What song is this? It's really nice."
"Yes, I think it sounds good too."
Yu Xingqiao smiled and said: "This is the NPC in the game singing, I don't know which voice actor I hired, not only the dubbing is superb, but the singing is also very beautiful."
The nurse lady nodded in agreement.
After that, she didn't continue this topic, but dragged Yu Xingqiao around the room, doing health exercises and other activities.
"It's your birthday soon, President Yu is going to hold a party for you and invite everyone to celebrate your birthday."
Yu Xingqiao flexed his wrist, and suddenly heard the nurse lady say this.
"He originally wanted to give you a surprise, but I think it's better to tell you about it first, so that you can be mentally prepared."
With the boy's body like a glass man, even a little emotional agitation would put a burden on the fragile organs. Such a surprise may turn into a fright.
After the doctor found out about the situation, he still asked the nurse lady to do ideological work with Yu Xingqiao first.
After hearing what the nurse lady said, Yu Xingqiao was a little dazed.
"Why do you want to have a party this year..."
The nurse stopped, and gently touched his face through the gloves, "Because you will be eighteen soon, and this is a very important birthday in your life."
Yu Xingqiao blinked.
Because he lives in a sterile room all day long, he actually doesn't have a particularly deep concept of time, and he doesn't feel that eighteen years old is any different.
That only meant that he was one step closer to the twenty-year-old death date set by the doctor.
"Tell my dad that I don't want to have this party..."
Yu Xingqiao lowered his eyelashes, he can actually go out, as long as he is well protected and has an oxygen cylinder on his back, he can move outside.
but…
The boy's eyes lost their light, and he said softly, "I don't want to dress like a monster and appear in front of others."
The nurse lady was taken aback.
"Star Bridge..."
"It's time, I'm going to play games first." Yu Xingqiao didn't let her continue talking, turned around and climbed onto the hospital bed again.
The boy who was about to grow up was still so thin and weak, and he was covered in a white hospital gown, which made the clothes looser and looser.
Sensing his resistance, the nurse sighed.
Seeing that the boy really didn't want to talk anymore, she had no choice but to turn around and leave the ward.
After taking off the protective clothing, the nursing lady was about to talk to Yu Xingqiao's father, but she met Yu Ting in the corridor.
"Mr. Yu, good morning."
She pulled herself together and smiled. Yu Ting was dressed casually in loose home clothes, probably going to see Yu Xingqiao.
He nodded, looked her up and down, and asked, "What happened? You don't look very well."
The nurse hesitated for a moment, then told him what happened just now.
The more Yu Ting listened, the more he frowned.
"What nonsense!"
He couldn't help cursing in a low voice, seeing the nurse lady was stunned, he softened his tone and said, "I'll tell the old man about this, just take care of Qiaoqiao."
The nursing lady paused, then nodded: "Okay, Mr. Yu."
Afterwards, Yu Ting turned around and left.
In the sterile room, Yu Xingqiao didn't know the conversation between the two outside, he climbed onto the hospital bed and continued to enter the game.
The boy's lips were tightly pursed, and the joy and happiness just now were gone.
He sat with his knees bent, holding his thin knee with one hand, and tapped on the phone with the other hand, his black eyes were a little slack, as if he had lost all vitality in an instant.
The goblin was still singing.
Babbling, strange and moving language, combined with soft music, has a magical power that makes people feel at ease.
Yu Xingqiao listened quietly for a while.
Suddenly his eyes moved.
The game screen still stayed at the angle when he left, showing Zai Zai's close-up in front of him.
The little boy still maintained the sleeping position just now, his long eyelashes drooping slightly, casting a small fan-shaped shadow, covering those ruby-like eyes.
The usual cool little boy, his expression is no longer tense, his brows are loosened, his waxy face, and the cute bunny onesie, his whole appearance is completely soft.
Suddenly, he smacked his small mouth, leaned his head on the small pillow, and rubbed it lightly.
As if rubbing against his heart.
Just looking at him gave me a healing feeling.
Yu Xingqiao let out a breath slowly.
Those unpleasant memories just remembered were completely forgotten in the blink of an eye, and he felt that his mood was brighter than ever.
Hey, watching Zai Zai sleep, he can watch it all day without getting tired!
Yu Xingqiao leaned forward, resting his chin on his hands, and watched Zai Zai sleep for ten minutes before finally averting his gaze.
He also knew that Zai Zai was always in a dangerous situation. Although the cradle could provide him with some protection, Zai Zai could not stay in the cradle all the time.
He had to log off at about 5:30 in the afternoon. At that time, it happened to be morning in the game.
For normal people, such a game design is actually reasonable. After all, most people have to work during the day and can only play games at night.
It's a pity that such a setting doesn't apply to Yu Xingqiao, and it's impossible for the game company to change it for him alone, so when Zai Zai goes out during the day, he has almost no way to participate.
He had to try his best to improve Zai Zai's strength while Zai Zai was sleeping, so as to prevent Zai Zai from being injured.
The one that can most directly improve one's strength is naturally the skill tree.
Yu Xingqiao opened the skill tree and took a look.
Zai Zai currently possesses two Lv5 primary skills [Shadow Tentacle] and [Shadow Binding], and one Lv3 advanced skill [Shadow Cage].
There are still three Lv1 skills left, which are the middle-level skills [Shadow Stealth], and the high-level skills [Shadow Tracking] and [Shadow Manipulation].
As for the origin value, plus the origin energy accumulated by Zaizai through the series of [hunting and anti-hunting] missions before and today, there are a total of 192 points.
Yu Xingqiao felt a little bald.
Because the further you go, the more source power you need to upgrade. Like high-level skills, lv1 increases to lv2, which directly soars to 40 points, which is double that of mid-level skills.
In this way, it will be a test of a reasonable distribution of source power.
I don't know if there are any guides on the Internet
Yu Xingqiao just wanted to check it out, but then he thought about it, Zai Zai is the only rare one, and there is only one in the whole game, how can others have a strategy
He had no choice but to give up and analyze the skill tree by himself.
The two basic skills can be left temporarily. As for the shadow cage, lv3 should be enough for the time being.
The mid-level skill [Shadow Stealth] is a very useful escape skill, and it only takes 20 points of source power from lv1 to lv2, so this skill must be activated first.
For high-level skills, [Shadow Tracking] is not very useful for the time being, but [Shadow Manipulation] is interesting.
When you get to a high level, can you manipulate the shadows of enemies and let them stab themselves
Yu Xingqiao touched his chin, he could already imagine the shocked expression of the enemy.
So, he spent 140 points of source power to upgrade [Shadow Stealth] to lv3, and spent another 40 points to raise [Shadow Manipulation] to lv2, leaving 12 points of source power in the end.
After all, it has only been three days of playing, and with this progress, Yu Xingqiao feels that it is already very good, and he will take his time later.
After clicking on the skill tree, Yu Xingqiao went shopping in the mall again.
He still has three draws that are useless, and he plans to save more points to increase the probability of getting good things.
He bought another set of clothes for Zai Zai. Seeing that he still had time, he began to study other ways to play the game.
Like the hiring system.
The gameplay of this should be quite rich. He has only unlocked the employment position of nanny so far, and there is only Laura wearing a maid outfit on the panel. He casually clicked on Laura's profile picture. She is in good condition. It seems that the equipment he bought for her should come in handy.
In addition to personal status, there are also work records, which are convenient for employers to check whether employees are lazy. If employees make mistakes and want to be fired, they do not need to pay liquidated damages.
There is even liquidated damages!
Yu Xingqiao couldn't help complaining, hiring requires money, firing also requires money, it really needs krypton everywhere.
He casually unlocked the "bodyguard" employment position.
[Ding~ 1000 diamonds have been deducted, [Bodyguard] employment position unlocked successfully]
Zai Zai just helped him save 100,000 diamonds, a mere 1,000 diamonds!
If it was hired directly, there was a goblin at the scene, but Yu Xingqiao was not very optimistic about her combat power, and he wanted to play something else.
[Open Recruitment: You can publish recruitment information and wait for interested parties to apply.]
[Note: The open recruitment has a certain degree of randomness, different remuneration may attract applicants with different attributes, you can try more]
Yu Xingqiao clicked [Open Recruitment].
[Please select the remuneration given to the applicant]
Yu Xingqiao glanced at the backpack, picked and picked, and finally chose the [Flying Duckbill Hat].
Anyway, Zai Zai has the skill of shadow stealth, which is much more concealable than this hat, and after giving it to the applicant, Zai Zai can still use it.
After all, the applicant is Zai Zai's bodyguard, if he is asked to fly, can he still refuse
[You chose [Flying Duckbill Hat] as a reward]
[Please confirm the following recruitment content]
Employment Type: Bodyguard
Term: one year
Job Description: Protect the lives of cubs
Remuneration: [Flying duckbill hat], no salary, self-care for board and lodging
Yu Xingqiao struggled for a while, but still gave him a monthly salary of one hundred gold coins.
The first time he recruited, he just tried it out, and he didn't know what type of bodyguard he could recruit with such a combination.
[Recruitment content confirmed]
[Ding~ 1000 diamonds have been deducted successfully, the recruitment has been sent out, please wait patiently]
"How long will it take?" Yu Xingqiao asked.
[The open recruitment is random, and the time cannot be determined, please be patient]
Yu Xingqiao glanced at it, and couldn't help curling his lips.
Well, this feels a bit like a volunteer.
When it was just dawn, Jun Lu woke up on time.
The little goblin was hanging on the railing of the shadow cage in a daze, her eyes were tightly closed, and she was still singing a song in her mouth.
Looking at her haggard appearance, one could tell that she had suffered a lot last night.
Jun Lu glanced at it, then looked back indifferently.
He didn't have the slightest bit of compassion for competitors, not to mention, he didn't do anything to her, he just let her do what she liked.
With a thought, Jun Lu retracted the shadow tentacles.
After wiping it all night, the dagger has been polished to a shine, and the veil looks a little worn.
Now he can let the shadow tentacles escape from his conscious control, and complete some simple mechanical operations. This is a newly acquired ability after upgrading to lv5.
When you become proficient in using it in the future, you may be able to do more and more complicated things.
As soon as he thought of skills, a sense of enlightenment came to his mind.
Jun Lu knew that the demon master had helped him raise his skill level again.
He felt warm in his heart, but soon became a little awe-inspiring again.
Obviously, his comprehension speed of skills cannot keep up with the speed of skill improvement, which means that he has not met the master's requirements for him.
This gave Jun Lv a sense of urgency.
He must go through more battles to become proficient in his skills, and thoroughly understand the insights instilled in him by his master!
Thinking of this, Jun Lv sat up.
He was not in a hurry to get out of the cradle, but scanned the surroundings with his mental strength, and then he found that the human woman came to the bottom of the tree again at some point.
Junlu narrowed his eyes slightly.
Originally, he wanted to get rid of her quietly, but she said that it was that person who asked her to take care of him...
Jun Lu pursed his lips and withdrew his mental power.
After making sure there was no danger, he took out the pacifier and stuffed it into his mouth, and put on the pair of brown round-toed leather shoes.
Just when he was about to climb out, he realized belatedly that the master helped him change his clothes yesterday, so—
He's still wearing that bunny one-piece pajamas!
Moreover, his shirt and shorts were also taken back by the demon master!
The author has something to say: Jun Lv: How do you go out and meet people
