Chapter 8
A beautiful large table was covered with all sorts of food from the game. The young apprentice Liu Ze devoured it quickly, finishing most of it before slowing down to recount his experiences here. "You have no idea how hard it was for me to travel through time. I've been in this world for two years now. When I first arrived, I was only about six or seven years old. I couldn't lift anything with my hands or shoulders, and I couldn't get anything to eat except begging."
Looking back on his experiences since arriving in this world, it was utterly miserable: "Here, begging is divided into territories. I've been straining my six- or seven-year-old body for two years, fighting stray dogs and snatching food from other beggars. I... it's been so hard for me." Liu Ze couldn't help but want to cry as he spoke. He was a 21st-century college student, not to mention starvation. His family was well-off, and he'd lived a life of ease and comfort, choosing the best food. How could he understand the hardships of begging? Eating leftovers for the first time was a huge challenge to his psychological bottom line.
Rong Zhou listened to him with great interest. He found the extremely frustrated little apprentice in front of him quite amusing. It was not that he had no sympathy: "Have you ever thought about changing your living environment?" After all, he was just a 20-year-old soul. It was too miserable for him to make himself like this.
"It brings tears to my eyes when I talk about it. I've read a lot of time-travel novels. I'm sure they want to make a name for themselves and have enough to eat." After going hungry and scrambling for food, his demands became very low. Just enough to eat was enough. Liu Ze sipped his juice sadly. "I traveled through time and space to this world as a game character. This is considered a cheat code, right? Apart from my body and equipment, I have nothing else. A game backpack would be fine. I have nothing else."
"It would be great if I could use my main character's body. A maxed-out Tiance Hexagonal Warrior (a type with all six attributes maxed out, such as defense, attack, health, etc., is called a Hexagonal Warrior), with level 6 and level 8 equipment, and a shiny golden orange weapon. I could even be a marshal in their army, or any other character would be fine. There are so many. The adult male characters are all maxed out, so how did I end up in the body of this little Yantian, who's only level 30? I've seen the ups and downs of life in these days as a beggar."
"Then I thought of a way. This character is from the Yantian Sect. After my research, I thought I might be able to deduce the secrets of the heavens and the sect's settings. Then I set up a stall. People looked at me as a child and no one believed me. Then a fool came and paid me a lot of money to have his fortune told. I deduced a fortune and was chased. Fortunately, I was very fast and could run. I hid for a year, but was found and hunted again. I was able to meet you because of being hunted."
"Well... what a pitiful apprentice." This sounded truly tragic: "I think your time travel might have something to do with me. In my case, it's said that the dimensional wall ruptured and exploded, and I was affected. To compensate me, he wanted to resurrect me. But he mistook my game for me and resurrected me. Halfway through the resurrection, the energy ran out and it completely dissipated."
"Then you came to my house to look for me and fell. You might have stepped on something and were brought here by the remaining energy." Rong Zhou was a little curious: "I'm now using Wanhua's body in the game. My appearance has changed so much that I don't even recognize myself. How did you recognize me so quickly?"
Yanagisawa couldn't believe he'd see his master again in this world. He was so surprised it felt like a dream. He wished he wouldn't wake up from this dream. "Master, I often steal flowers from your home. I visit it every day, and when I woke up, it looked so familiar. I immediately recognized it. When you appeared in this body again, even though it's quite different from your character and your real life, it's still easy to connect with it."
The master now looked incredibly aloof, his thin eyebrows light, his almond-shaped eyes even more delicate, their pupils shrouded in a beautiful purple mist. His thin lips hinted at apathy. Now, he was smiling slightly, clearly in a good mood. Liu Ze thought about his own short, childlike figure, with its imported face, and found it rather adorable (face-shaping in games is a skill; those with clumsy hands who want a good-looking face often import pre-made faces from others).
Tears welled up in Liu Ze's heart, and he complained again, "Why not my main character? My main character is a handsome dog (a professional in Jianwang Santian Ce, also known as Dongdu Wolf, Erha, or Dog), and no matter how he thought about it, he was just like...
"I wandered in another world for many years until I accidentally locked onto your energy fluctuations. That's when I traveled to this world, thinking it was Earth."
"Master, are you going back to Earth?"
"Of course, your mistress is still on Earth. It's not a good idea for me to wander around like this with two children."
"A child?" Liu Ze was a little surprised. He had known his master for three years and only knew that he had a master's wife. He didn't know that he even had a baby.
"Dabao and Erbao were also here at the time," Rongzhou said, showing him the two small balls of light in his hand. "These are my daughter and son."
"This...?" He looked at the two glowing balls in the master's hand and asked, "Why is it like this?"
"I was wandering in dimensional rifts and other worlds. That environment was too lonely. I was afraid the two children couldn't bear it, so I let them sleep until now."
Liu Ze thought about the environment his master described and couldn't help but shudder. He had been in this world for two or three years. Whether he was begging for food or being hunted, there were always all kinds of people around him. If he had to endure loneliness and darkness for several years or even decades, he might not be able to bear it in a year.
"Let the two babies wake up now? As an uncle, I haven't even seen them yet." Liu Ze said seriously with his chubby face raised.
The more Rong Zhou looked at him, the cuter he found him. He couldn't help but pinch his little face: "I'm thinking about it. Letting them sleep like this all the time is not a solution."
Liu Ze touched his red face and said, "I am an adult!"
"You're a child now." She hit him in the face again.
Liu Ze had no choice but to glare at his unscrupulous master angrily.
"Just stay here with peace of mind. Those who are chasing you are no problem. If I can locate the Earth plane, we will go back to Earth together." Rong Zhou got up and went to prepare a place for his little disciple to sleep. This was previously done by the housekeeper, but now he did it himself, which shows how happy he was to meet his little disciple.
In a way, Rong Zhoujue felt quite happy that he had raised another child.
"......" Liu Ze glanced at his master, who was completely different from the real him, and muttered softly, "I don't want to go back to Earth."
His voice was too soft, and Rong Zhou, who was walking outside, didn't hear it clearly: "What?" He turned around and looked at him.
"Nothing." He answered loudly. Looking at the white figure walking out, he stuffed all the remaining food on the table into his stomach. He wanted to eat more and grow back to his previous height of 1.85 meters as soon as possible. His current body shape made him a cripple among cripples.
