Kou Dong's catchphrase has changed recently, and the most common phrase on his lips every day is "it seems that there is a lack of socialist education".
Especially after watching the retracement of the plot, he muttered these words bitterly to the face of the mermaid for three minutes, and told the villain earnestly, "Don't learn from him, he is not your father."
Villain: "..."
Ye Yanzhi's expression was indifferent, and he hummed perfunctorily.
It was as if the person who forced him to call him dad was not Kou Dong himself.
Kou Dong: "Oh, you can tell right away. This kind of anti-social personality can't give birth to a son as smart as you."
Ye Yanzhi: "..."
As if he could be born himself.
Kou Dong put gold on his face, "I am different, I have a high IQ."
do it.
The villain sighed quite maturely, and said to himself, what else can he do with the person he likes.
Although he insisted on calling him dad...
Kou Dong looked at the balance of the points, and was quite happy: "Dad is rich, and Dad will support you."
After two dungeons, he has 57 points left, and he can draw two cards in the exchange pool.
"Maybe I can add two younger brothers to you."
Ye Yanzhi asked: "Didn't you say that having more lives is not good?"
Before, I vowed to popularize fewer and better births with him, and live a happy life with him.
"That was all before," Kou Dong waved his hand, "We have to follow up the national policy - now the second child is allowed, in order to keep the demographic dividend, it is imperative to give you two brothers and sisters!"
After this dungeon, Kou Dong looked forward to drawing cards even more. Anyway, with his son around, it can offset his lucky E attribute, so it shouldn't be as bad as before, right
He knew the way and opened the exchange pool interface.
The Kachi was still the same blood pool as before, with an ominous crimson color and small blisters rising upwards.
This time the hand bones in the pool behaved a lot. After the last time, no one dared to try to stop him beyond their limits. Kou Dong stepped over and saw the light on the platform brighten up again.
Ye Yanzhi's hand was on his neckline, and a head that was not as big as his fingers was exposed outside, and he probed to read the words on it.
[Exchange Pool: Players can use 40 points to draw once, and the objects of the draw are not fixed.]
After finishing reading, he calmly turned his head and said to Kou Dong, "I'm afraid your dream of having three children will be shattered."
Kou Dong didn't see it yet, so he asked casually, "Why?"
The villain silently pointed his finger at that crucial number.
"Prices are rising, find out."
Kou Dong: "..."
Kou Dong: "..."
Kou Dong: "..."
Kou Dong went crazy.
This is called rising prices - this is called inflation! Where is there such a rise? It was only twenty at a time before, but forty at a time now? ?
What's going on here, are you planning to bring down the market
He yelled at the system frantically for a long time before he heard the other party's cold electronic voice, [What's the problem, player?]
Kou Dong pointed to the number and asked it to explain.
The game system is even colder: [This is a normal lottery mechanism. As the difficulty of entering the dungeon increases, the contribution points obtained will also increase, and the points used for redemption will naturally increase accordingly.]
Damn, this is called nature will grow - Kou Dong almost wanted to kick this dialog box over.
And what does this mean, "I have to go up later?"
System: [Naturally.]
Naturally again, Kou Dong has never found himself hating this word so much, he seriously doubts whether the system doesn't want him out of the game at all.
When he uttered this question, the system was silent for two seconds, and then said: [The player is joking. As a game system, I treat all players equally.]
Kou Dong: "...do you think I can't hear your two-second pause?"
System: [Besides, players can get points through the dating section.]
This is already the fourth time the system has mentioned the dating section to him after entering the game. The implication is that he obviously hopes that he will experience it for himself.
Kou Dong opened the dating section, and as expected, he saw an extra figure of an NPC inside. The tall figure of the siren filled the grid to the brim, and the static picture actually looked a bit like the male god NPC that Kou Dong once conquered, with hair floating like seaweed, and holding a slippery beetle in his thin hand. Cream beads.
Kou Dong originally thought it was the siren's tears, but after a closer look, he found it wrong—the translucent texture was clearly those accumulated in the petri dish.
Realizing this, his scalp exploded.
"Fuck."
How insane he would have to be to go on a date with something like that.
Are you sure this thing won't just take him to the bottom of the ocean and refill it
The siren's red eyes stared straight at him, and Kou Dong actually saw the pain in it.
… With all due respect, he feels that none of the NPCs here are qualified to hurt.
The one who is most entitled to be sad is obviously himself, okay
He wanted to close the dating interface directly, but his cub suddenly opened his mouth and said indifferently: "props are very important."
Kou Dong naturally knew the importance.
"If you don't have teammates to help, you may not be able to run out," Ye Yanzhi said plainly, "To be on the safe side, it's best to master two props."
Kou Dong remained silent for a long time. Ye Yanzhi hummed suspiciously, only to hear the young man say quietly: "Oh, boy, don't push the flames, my integrity is already in jeopardy..."
If you drop it, it will be gone.
Having said that, he still retracted his fingers from the exit button, and hesitantly looked at the three NPCs who were waiting for a date. Sensing the change in his mind, the NPC in the frame was obviously more active, and the Siren even gave him a wave of the bead.
Kou Dong: "...No, thank you."
He decisively extended his hand to the first one.
There was a little joy on the serious and stern face of the black-robed godfather, and he could tell that he was happy just by looking at his expression. Kou Dong put his hand on it, felt a broad hand firmly grasping his, and then pulled it suddenly——
Kou Dong was dragged into the frame by this hand. When he was dragged in, he heard his cub whisper, "Be careful."
The young man was taken aback by these words, and subconsciously wanted to ask him if he didn't want to go with him—but before he could say more, he was completely dragged in by the godfather.
Ye Yanzhi couldn't get in, he was bounced out by an invisible barrier. This didn't surprise him, he sat alone on the ground alone, and only moved the corners of his mouth after a while.
"If you're lucky, you'll find something."
He murmured, his eyes gradually lost their focus and floated in the air.
Even if polluted—
Those NPCs will always keep the youth in their core memory.
Cutting apart paranoia, gloom and desperation, true love is covered in dust and buried in the depths.
If you're lucky, you'll find it.
He hopes that young people will have enough luck.
In front of him is the familiar old castle, with a dark red tapestry hanging high, with the appearance of the Holy Child and the Virgin Mary drawn on it. The gentle and loving Madonna held the baby in her arms, and presented the innocent face of the baby to all the people who closely surrounded her.
This is a decoration that Kou Dong has never seen in the castle.
The carpet under his feet was as soft as ever. He looked at himself and found that his figure seemed to have shrunk a little. He walked to the bronze mirror and took a look, and it turned out that he was a little shorter.
He looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old. Although his eyebrows and eyes hadn't changed much, a little innocence could still be seen on his cheeks.
There was a knock on the door, and then a manservant with blond curly hair came in. After seeing him, he seemed relieved.
"Master, my lord is looking for you, please go quickly."
Kou Dong stared at the male servant, always having a strange feeling of déjà vu.
It wasn't until he stepped out of the room that he remembered that he had seen this face before.
In that closet full of human skins.
At that time, these servants had already been made into soft leather, waiting to be worn by someone. But now, standing here alive, he looks like an ordinary person.
"The social season is coming soon," said the manservant. "We all heard that you stepped on Mrs. Leslie's feet during dance practice yesterday—"
He couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.
"My lord is calling you over now, and he must teach you personally."
Kou Dong looked at him carefully, but he didn't see any stitches on his neck. This is not a puppet, this is a person.
This discovery made him slightly relieved, knowing that this was probably before the arrival of the devil.
Nolan's genetic disease has not yet shown signs.
At this time, the castle was alive, and many servants bowed to him along the way. They looked at him with happy and loyal eyes, shining with enthusiasm, and called him respectfully: "Master."
"Master..."
Surrounded by these gazes, Kou Dong walked forward, and all the servants and servants watched him. After walking dozens of steps forward, Kou Dong could still feel those reluctant gazes.
This is really strange, Kou Dong thought to himself.
He has an eerie feeling, like he's loved by everyone. But this kind of love is very different from the kind he experienced in the game - the NPC here loves him, it's just a pure, love without lust, a love without the slightest haze.
These are normal people.
But in the dungeon, those who love him are simply a group of out-and-out psychopaths.
The door of the living room was opened by the servants on both sides, and Kou Dong stepped in, and saw the figure of the godfather on the crimson velvet chair. The godfather was still dressed in a solemn black robe, with a quill pen held between his slender fingers, and he was writing something with his head down.
Hearing the sound of the door being pushed, he looked up and saw his godson walking in.
"godfather."
Augustine's brows loosened. His stern expression softened, and he said lightly, "You're here."
He clapped his hands on his knees, "Come here."
Kou Dong: "..."
Forget it, the contribution point is the biggest.
The most important thing is to make NPC happy, the most important thing is to make NPC happy...
Kou Dong stepped forward, put his head on the man's leg, and leaned on him submissively.
The godfather inserted his fingers into his thick hair, and there was a smile in his voice, "Mrs. Leslie told me when she came to visit this morning that you stepped on her several times during yesterday's dance class."
Kou Dongxin said that this is all a nonsense plot, my IQ is so high and my body is also very coordinated, okay! But that's what the NPC imagined, so he had no choice but to hum, blushing slightly in a cooperative manner, "The godfather made fun of me."
After saying this, he himself had the urge to vomit.
But the godfather laughed softly, obviously benefiting from his coquettishness. He stroked his godson's soft hair repeatedly, and said, "It's the social season soon, is Nolan going to the ball to step on the feet of all the ladies?"
So I have said that I will definitely not step on it!
Kou Dong figured out what the NPC meant, so he said dryly, "How can that be done? Nolan can't embarrass the godfather."
Augustine hummed, the corners of his lips turned up slightly, and he didn't answer the question.
... Damn, old man, he obviously wants to dance with him but refuses to say so.
It's clear that even the servants know your intentions, okay
Kou Dong had no choice but to clarify his words. He lay on Augustine's lap and looked at him with his face upturned.
"Godfather, teach me, will you?"
The voice was light and soft, and there was a sense of taking it for granted. It was completely a pampered child acting like a spoiled child to an elder who pampered him. The godfather's face became more tense, and he patted his godson on the back, "Then get up."
He said lightly.
"Since you said so, the godfather should teach you naturally."
"..."
Big-tailed wolf, pretending to be real.
At that time, there were no gramophones, and people were invited to play live at dances. But the godfather obviously didn't mean to let others disturb them, he just clapped his hands, and the servant changed the furnishings in the room with insight to make enough space.
"Come on," he stretched out his hand towards Kou Dong, his voice was low, "Nolan, put your hand on my shoulder."
Kou Dong felt something was wrong.
"Godfather, what about your hand...?"
Without him saying anything, that hand spontaneously touched Kou Dong's waist, and logically grabbed the waist tightly bound by the vest.
With such force, Kou Dong suddenly got closer to the man, and could even smell the faint fragrance of the man.
It was completely different from the decadent floral scent that I smelled later. This scent was deep and restrained, like a woody scent, very suitable for the godfather.
Augustine held Coudon's with his other hand, counting the beat in a low voice.
With force in his hand, he guided the boy to spin.
"Here, slow down—"
Kou Dong jumped and stuttered. This is normal. After all, he didn't really learn dancing from primary school to adulthood, let alone this kind of dance steps similar to ballroom dancing in the medieval West, so he accidentally stepped on the foot of the godfather.
When Kou Dong felt a foreign object under his feet, he was still a little worried. He wouldn't step on the NPC to make him unhappy...
But looking at it again, the godfather actually laughed out loud, obviously very happy.
"Is that how you stepped on Mrs. Leslie yesterday?" He raised his brows slightly, his expression clearly conniving, "how many times did you step on it?"
Kou Dongxin said, isn't it, is this something to be contested
Well, since being stomped on has fun—
He simply let go, jumping entirely on his own understanding. Don't turn when it's time to turn, and turn around when it shouldn't. Augustine, a real nobleman, who was soaked in balls since he was a child, was always messed up by him. . The godfather didn't step on him, but Kou Dong stepped on his shoes.
Augustine's laughter was clearer. Holding his godson in his arms, he finally retracted his expression and stared at him, "How can you dance like this?"
"..."
Kou Dong looked at him speechlessly.
Brother, find a mirror to take a look at yourself, and take a look at your beaming face—
You clearly want me to dance like this, okay
Augustine obviously liked his lively appearance, although he said he wanted to teach, but his actions and words showed connivance, "Come again."
Kou Dong became bolder now, and finally raised his doubts: "Godfather, should I dance the man's step or the woman's step at the ball?"
Augustine said calmly: "Naturally, it's a male step."
There is no reason to let his beloved godson dance.
"Really," his godson blinked, and immediately asked him the next question unexpectedly, "but godfather, why did you ask me to dance the female step just now?"
Still spinning, are you expecting a flower to come out of my pants
The godfather was stunned by his question.
Kou Dong took this opportunity and put his hand on his waist.
The godfather finally frowned slightly, "You..."
Kou Dong was almost elated, looking up at him.
"Didn't you say you want to teach me?" He laughed. "Shouldn't you teach me like this?"
Augustine could not refute.
With his aristocratic status, he naturally never condescended to learn women's steps. But if it is to cooperate with the teenager, it seems that it doesn't matter which side to jump to.
He was silent for a while, and finally slowly raised his hand, putting it on the boy's shoulder.
The dance moves again.
The man was much taller than Kou Dong, and he had to squat down a little bit every time he turned around to barely slip under Kou Dong's arm. His appearance looked a little funny, not at all the taciturn, serious and gloomy appearance in the copy.
A person who has always been noble and elegant comes here, but he is still cute.
Kou Dong endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help laughing. When the laughter sounded, the godfather naturally heard it too. While at a loss what to do, he also became a little annoyed. He put his hands away and called his name lightly: "Nolan."
Kou Dong held back his laughter and said, "I'm not laughing at you—"
This is nonsense, and the godfather himself knows it.
He looked at the godson who was about to ride on his head for a while, finally pursed his lips, and pulled him hard.
Kou Dong thought he was going to get angry, and his heart was shocked. But Augustine just patted the hem of his clothes, tightened his face again, "The lips are dry."
His thumb rubbed lightly against his godson's lips.
Kou Dong met the godfather's eyes. His eyes are blue, as transparent as two pieces of water glass. It's just that there are water waves and light on the glass.
He was looked at by such eyes, and he saw an unmistakable affection.
"—Nolan," whispered the godfather, "grow up quickly..."
You have to grow up well.
Kou Dong also looked at him fixedly, and suddenly said, "Godfather."
Augustine nodded.
"If one day I leave," Kou Dong asked, "what will you do?"
The godfather was slightly surprised by his question, but still replied: "You will not go."
Kou Dong: "What if I really leave?"
The godfather slowly pursed his lips, and with a little force in his hand, he grabbed the godson's arm.
"I'll get you back."
Kou Dong said softly, "What if it's life and death?"
"..."
The godfather closed his eyes and reprimanded, "Nonsense."
"No nonsense," Kou Dong whispered, "If one day, I really can't be by your side anymore..."
"Please live well."
"Don't believe the devil's nonsense, he has bad intentions."
"you-"
After uttering this word, Kou Dong saw that his arm was gradually becoming transparent, and he realized that it was time, "You..."
The godfather looked a little flustered, his face shaking in front of him, as if he was calling for a doctor. Kou Dong got out of his arms, his legs suddenly went limp, and he staggered. After standing still, I realized that I was back on the dating interface.
Ye Yanzhi was waiting on the ground, when he saw him coming out, he stood up immediately.
The villain stepped forward, staring at Kou Dong's face.
"How about it?"
Kou Dong exhaled twice and said, "It's better than I imagined."
He originally thought that going on a date with an NPC in this game would be a nightmare, but in fact he was having such a good time that he didn't even feel the passage of time.
He squatted on the ground panting, Ye Yanzhi tugged at his sleeve.
"I just have a strange feeling," Kou Dong murmured, not hiding much in front of his cub, "—I feel that Nolan is just like me."
It's not a character that exists in the background, it's Kou Dong himself.
The real Kou Dong himself.
Kou Dong always thought that all the NPCs love him because of the system operation. As soon as he came in, his feelings were full, and naturally he didn't think about why these NPCs loved him.
These so-called frontiers, in his opinion, are just derivative plots of the game.
However, after really experiencing dating, it seems that this is not the case at all. Kou Dong has a sense of absurdity, as if he originally lived in these plots—he was the child Augustine took back to raise.
Ye Yanzhi didn't speak, but raised his head and glanced at the upper right corner.
There are also system dialog boxes in that place.
He pursed his lips.
Kou Dong waited for a long time, and finally remembered to report back: "How many points did you take?"
The system pops up a prompt.
[Congratulations to the player for completing the dating journey with the first character.
Points for this appointment: forty-three points.]
Kou Dong glanced at it, the full frame was fifty.
The godfather is really happy from the bottom of his heart.
He stared at the ground, and after a while, he let out a heavy breath from his mouth.
"Let's go," he put the bag on his palm, "the lottery is going."
After entering the exchange pool again, Kou Dong chose to exchange without stopping.
Two big snakes appeared again from the pool. Immediately, the snake's teeth loosened and spit out a bronze ball.
A small paper doll fell out of the ball. Kou Dong picked it up and saw a pop-up prompt:
[Prop name: Paper figurine.
Purpose: It has camouflage effect and can help players resist an attack.
Time limit: only the next copy.]
Kou Dong understood that this was a substitute.
He glanced at the exchange pool, and it showed that the next exchange would require 60 points.
One more time, and he really became a veritable pauper.
The one with zero assets.
Kou Dong thought over and over again, and finally put his hands on the exchange pool again.
He's about to smoke a second time.
The author has something to say:
Kou Dong: Failure is impossible, even in this lifetime.
Anyone who wants to see me fail, please face the wall and think about it, thank you.
What made you have such bold ideas
Is the net net not strong enough
Is platonic love not enough for you?
