CH 18

Ch18 - Cheating is not good

Outside of the game, after Yu Xingqiao clicked to change the appearance, he immediately closed the system mall and looked nervously at the game screen.

As a result, a familiar and very exciting BGM suddenly rang out from the speaker, and a dazzling white light lit up on little Jun Lu’s body.

Yu Xingqiao froze.

This …… is this the legendary ……

Ba La La Energy, Magic Fairy Transformation?!

Fortunately, after the BGM finished playing and the dazzling light faded away, the otome scene he imagined didn’t actually appear.

When little Jun Lu, who had just been enveloped in a strong light, reappeared in front of him, he had completely changed his appearance.

[Ding~ Congratulations on completing the side quest [Cub’s New Clothes]]

[Get reward gold +100, +1 lottery draw]

Yu Xingqiao didn’t read what the system said, and casually clicked off the system box.

He covered his cheeks with both hands, admiring the fully dressed up young boy, only to feel that the suit was too suitable for him!

What was more crucial was that it also came with a change of hairstyle!

The bangs that originally covered the cub’s forehead were combed back to reveal perfect and delicate features, and the dirt on his face was wiped clean.

The boy’s skin was so pale and bright, delicate and smooth, that it made people want to pinch it.

Beautiful like a mannequin!

This modeling is really too awesome!

Yu Xingqiao was full of joy, yet completely unaware that the person and tiger in the game were completely dumbfounded.

No need to mention the big tiger, even Jun Lu—although he had seen the system prompt and had some mental preparation—also had his rhythm disrupted by this scene.

Why did he …… suddenly change his clothes, and in such a magical and conspicuous manner?

An idea flashed in Jun Lu’s mind; he suddenly remembered that the big tiger had just mocked him for being poor, could it be ……

Was the master trying to help him vent his emotions?

Jun Lu looked at the clothes on his body. He felt that it was a little childish, but ……

A strange feeling welled up at the bottom of his heart, just like that bottle of milk just now, it was as if the warm glass wall was pressed against his heart.

Noticing his thoughts, Jun Lu was stunned and shook his head in a hurry.

This was just a deal.

He had carefully analyzed this before—this demon master of his only had their eyes on his identity as one of the Light Race. The only reason why he had received such care was only because the current him was too weak, unable to meet the requirements.

He should not be attached to this warmth.

Because there was no telling when it would disappear like milk losing its temperature ……

Jun Lu glanced at the ground.

That milk bottle that he disliked so much had rolled to who knows where and could no longer be found.

He pursed his lips. For some reason, anger suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.

“Now, what else do you want to say?”

The big tiger unknowingly loosened its tail.

Jun Lu landed on the ground.

He casually smoothed out the strangled folds on his clothes, unhurriedly, moving with grace and ease. At a glance, it knew he had been brought up well.

Yu Xingqiao tilted his head to look at him, his eyes smiled so much that they curved into two nice crescent moons.

The cub wearing this outfit is really too good-looking, and with his cool little expression, really handsome and meng.

Wearing this outside, how many girls would be charmed ah?

Looking at the little boy’s pink glutinous cheeks, like cotton candy, really want to give a poke ah ……

Yu Xingqiao’s hands felt a bit itchy.

But seeing the big tiger on the side, he still held back his hand and did not destroy the aura created by the cub.

“Just now…… what was that?”

On the speaker, the thick and rough voice of the big tiger sounded, but it was obvious that there was caution in its voice.

Seeing how it had been scared silly, Yu Xingqiao’s chin slightly raised, feeling a little smug.

Hmph, hmph. See if you dare laugh at my family’s cub!

——In the game.——

Jun Lu glanced at the big tiger and said carelessly, “Just a small prop.”

His fine fingers stroked the cuffs and carefully felt the texture of the cloth. The material of this dress was very exquisite, which was no worse than what he usually wore.

His heart was slightly moved, and he had a further understanding of his demon master.

Powerful, wealthy, and very patient.

This master of his, what kind of existence were they? Were they male, or female? And why …… did hi sign a contract with him?

He was lost in thought while the big tiger looked at him hesitantly.

What just happened made the big tiger somewhat doubtful of life. Even if it possessed higher intelligence, it was only a magical beast living in the mountains, not yet evolved, and had not even seen a human town.

All the knowledge of the outside world was just from the inherited memory.

Miracles like this are only vaguely heard in the stories told by passing birds.

The little boy in front of him may really be from an important family in the Light race. Otherwise, how could he perform “divine magic” just like that?

“So …… how did you end up here?”

The big tiger said, “The imperial capital is a long way from here.”

Although he had not travelled that far, there were migrating birds of prey passing by every year, and there were many intelligent species among them, and they would bring all kinds of news and stories to the big tiger.

At the speed of the birds of prey, it would take at least a few months to fly there.

Can the People of the Light ….. fly?

“Humans have invented flying machines that can come and go in a day,” Jun Lu glanced at it and said indifferently.

The big tiger was startled.

It knew that although most humans were weak, they were amazingly creative and could always create all kinds of strange and weird things.

So compared to the four-legged and simple-minded magical beasts, the Illustris Royal Family undoubtedly favoured humans and preferred to live in cities built by humans.

“Our original plan was to go to Buta City in the east, but in the middle of the flight the aircraft malfunctioned and I fell from the sky and got separated from the guards.”

Jun Lu said it in a presentable manner.

He was not good at lies before, but after this one year of being on the run, he had learned too many skills that he had not mastered.

Those …… were lessons that had been exchanged for with blood.

The big tiger was instantly embarrassed.

Aircraft …… what was that? It turned over the inherited memory and found what that was.

Perhaps it was a new toy that humans fiddle with for fun?

By the way….

“Speaking of which, I did see something that looks like a bird but not quite like a bird flying in the sky these past two days, that’s a human aircraft?”

It tsked, “Then this aircraft is not safe at all ah, if there’s any failure it would fall from the sky. Wouldn’t that mean you would fall to your death?”

Jun Lu didn’t say anything, but in his heart he thought, “This big tiger is talking about Saer’s men, right?

Not sure if that octopus had left any of them behind ……

“Then …… what is your relationship with that one?”

The big tiger crouched down, his attitude has become fully respectful.

Yu Xingqiao watched them speak and heard the big tiger’s question, he couldn’t help but blink.

Hmm? Which one is that one?

Then he realized later——

Big Tiger seemed to have just said that the Light Race …… was the most honored existence in the entire empire?

Yu Xingqiao watched the conversation between Big Tiger and Jun Lu, thought about it, and reached out and poked the avatar in the upper left corner of the interface.

Jun Lu’s information panel popped up.

On the panel, in addition to the attributes recorded, there was also personal information extracted from the main and side quests.

“Jun Lu, the only remaining cub of the Light Race in the world, has been blackened by a great change. This has had a profound impact on the world of Illustris.”

The Light Race was the most noble existence in the Illustris Empire, and little Jun Lu was the only remaining cub of the Light Race in this world, so what would be his identity in the Illustris Empire?

“System, what exactly is the cub’s status? The one Big Tiger is talking about, is he some big shot?”

[Ding~ Triggers the side quest [Mystery of Birth].]

[Mission Description: The cub’s past is still a mystery to you, which is not conducive to building a deeper bond between you and the cub, so you have decided to explore the cub’s birth.]

[Quest reward: gold +100, random equipment +1, number of draws +1]

Yu Xingqiao found out that the reward for each mission is 100 gold coins, no more, no less.

Why is this system so stingy?

Yu Xingqiao rolled his eyes and tried to say: “You should know the cub’s status, right? I’ll just directly spend money to buy from you ok?”

[……]

The system box floated a string of ellipses, then slowly disappeared, and a line of text slowly emerged.

[Cheating is not good ……]

Yu Xingqiao stroked his chin and asked slyly, “How about a hundred diamonds?”

After waiting for a few seconds, the system did not reply, and just when he thought he had been rejected, a box appeared again in the center of the game screen.

In the box, two words popped out in a twisted manner.

[10,000.]

Yu Xingqiao blinked his eyes.

Ten thousand diamonds? Why didn’t the system just rob him?

This would be enough to buy another set of nice clothes for the cub! It was just a piece of news that we’d know sooner or later, but it cost a thousand RMB!

“Forget it.”

Yu Xingqiao waved his hand and thought he’d better explore it himself. That’s the fun of playing games.

But just as he finished, the system box floated out again.

[Five thousand is also possible.]

Yu Xingqiao shook his head. “No, no, it’s more fun to solve the puzzle by yourself, you’d better not tell me.”

[Two thousand five hundred ……]

Yu Xingqiao mercilessly dropped the system box and continued to watch the plot development.
