Chapter 244: The Main World
"So this is the main world."
A cold voice echoed, like the combined voices of several people, sending shivers down the spine. A shapeless mass of pure energy streamed out from the starry passage, radiating overwhelming pressure. Upon catching sight of the people in the living room, it quickly retreated. The next second, a half-meter-tall robot, more colorful than a kindergarten mural, leaped out of the passage.
"shining!"
The little robot ran towards Zhuozhuo, who was sitting on the sofa. Someone, with a sullen face, tried to stop it, but Zhuozhuo, his eyes shining, put down his juice, opened his arms, looked at the little robot, and said in surprise, "00?"
"It's me, Zhuozhuo. I miss you so much! We all miss you so much!!!"
The little robot nimbly bypassed the human body obstacles and gave Zhuozhuo a big hug after a long separation. He did not let go after the hug. He sat next to Zhuozhuo, stretched out his arms for her to play with, and told her how he broke through the boundary, how he sensed the main world, and how he arrived here.
Zhuozhuo exclaimed repeatedly and listened attentively.
The others, upon hearing this, thought the robot was truly insidious. When 9972 had been communicating with them, Zhuozhuo had said he would take them to the main world in the large spaceship he had acquired. They had proudly agreed without hesitation. Only after arriving did they discover that someone had gone their own way, insisting on betraying Zhuozhuo's kindness and coming on their own. This foolish, troublesome person was simply trying to steal Zhuozhuo's attention.
But the others didn't regret it either. After all, the experience of "Zhuozhuo personally coming to pick them up for the first time when going to the main world" was something that those cunning people would never have in their lifetime.
"Now that everyone is here, please introduce yourselves. Zhuozhuo is our family, so we are also a family. I hope we can get along well in the future."
A handsome and calm man sat on a single sofa. A gentle smile crossed his stern face. He said modestly in a low, magnetic voice, "I'm Qin Jin, Zhuozhuo's first father."
"Oh! How shameless!"
The man in ancient costume with a rich and gorgeous face looked up at Qin Jin, speaking with dignity, "Zhuozhuo has her own biological parents. Besides, we all regard Zhuozhuo as our own daughter, and Zhuozhuo regards us as her own father. Today is the auspicious day for the family reunion that Zhuozhuo has been looking forward to. Why should we argue and stir up trouble? We are all Zhuozhuo's adoptive fathers, and the grace of raising and giving birth is equally important."
He ignored Qin Jin's sullen expression and said gently, "I'm Feng Pansheng. When Zhuozhuo was by my side, I was just an unloved prince. I couldn't provide the best conditions for her, and I've always felt deep remorse and guilt. After Zhuozhuo left, I often recalled the days when she was still here, and painted to comfort myself."
He placed the package beside him on the table, stroked it with care, and then slowly opened it, revealing several scrolls inside.
"Daddy, what is this?" Zhuozhuo stretched his little head to look curiously.
"Zhuozhuo, come here and take a closer look." Feng Pansheng naturally held Zhuozhuo in front of him. He slowly unfolded a scroll, revealing a girl of seven or eight years old inside. The girl was lying in front of the table, writing with a brush in her hand. There were two ink spots on her healthy and pink cheeks, and her expression was focused and serious.
Everyone present could recognize at a glance that the painting was of Zhuozhuo at the age of seven or eight, although no one had ever seen Zhuozhuo at the age of seven or eight.
Initially, everyone was quite dissatisfied with Feng Pansheng, believing him to be even more troublesome than that little robot. However, upon seeing this painting filled with love and hope, they recalled the happy times they had spent raising Zhuozhuo, and the painful worries and hopes they had felt after his departure. This sense of empathy eased the tense atmosphere, and everyone began to look at the other paintings together.
The second painting shows a girl of twelve or thirteen riding a horse and pulling a bow in the mountains, aiming intently at a tiger behind the bushes.
The third painting shows Zhuozhuo, about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in gorgeous clothes. She sits on a high place with a smile on her face. Her bright eyes are watching several ministers in court robes who are arguing fiercely. She looks calm, while the ministers who are about to fight steal glances at Zhuozhu with awe in their eyes.
The fourth painting was just a picture of tomorrow's sun in the sky. Its rays were blazing, yet the sky felt empty and disorienting. It was like Feng Pansheng's own state of mind. He imagined countless possible futures, but all were empty.
The living room fell silent for a rare moment. In that moment, everyone seemed to have let go of their inner conflicts. A gentle male voice rang out, "I'm Rong Yi, an actor. When Zhuozhuo was with me, she often told me to rest, saying that health is the capital of revolution. My fantasy and expectation for Zhuozhuo is that she can grow up happily and healthily, even if she has to rely on her parents for the rest of her life. But I imagine that if Zhuozhuo inherited the throne, she would definitely be a good and respected emperor."
Because of Zhuozhuo's promise, he made an exception and watched the image of Zhuozhuo when he first arrived in Yan Bufan's world in the form of a dream. Knowing that the little guy could still practice, he proudly said: "Zhuozhuo is an all-round little genius."
Qin Jin nodded and said proudly, "Zhuozhuo wasn't even six years old yet, and he already planned and hosted a banquet that was praised by everyone."
The banquet at that time made him painful and unwilling to recall it, but after seeing Zhuozhuo again, he could mention it calmly.
"Zhuozhuo's cultivation talent is also excellent. If she spends enough time practicing, I can't compare to her." At this time, the young man standing by the window said with a smile. Next to him was a tall man. Their faces were identical, but their expressions and temperaments were so different that at first glance, they looked unrelated.
The man who looked older and more mature smiled and said, "He is Yan Bufan. As for me, Zhuozhuo calls me Big Yan, and Fengfeng also calls me Daddy. Yan Bufan calls Zhuozhuo Little Ancestor, and I call him Baby Zhuozhuo."
Zhuozhuo ran over with a laugh, and after being picked up by Dayan, she stretched out her arms to hug Yan Bufan's neck, kissing and cuddling this one and that one.
"I'm Cheng Su. Zhuozhuo and I are like a pair of bickering lovers, and she often leaves me speechless." Cheng Su has a handsome and charming face, but his clothes are so tightly packed that not even his Adam's apple is visible. He smiled at Zhuozhuo and raised an eyebrow. "Every time I try to scheme against Zhuozhuo, she nips it in the bud. The problem is, she's so clueless, it makes me so angry that my heart aches."
Zhuozhuo tilted her head and kicked her legs to get out of Dayan's arms. She rushed at Cheng Su like a calf, causing him to let out an exaggerated cry of pain. Zhuozhuo giggled, hugged Cheng Su's neck again, and said softly, "Dad, Zhuozhuo wouldn't deliberately make you angry."
"Yes, yes, I was so bad. After Zhuozhuo changed the hatred and malice in my heart, I felt that the world was full of love." Cheng Su hugged Zhuozhuo tightly and didn't want to let go.
"Mimi~"
The soft, mellow meow of a cat rang out, drawing everyone's attention. A handsome young man in a white shirt was holding a cell phone, which was playing the kitten's meow. The young man sat alone in the corner, smiling brightly at Zhuo Zhuo, and said, "Mimi, do you remember that meow?"
Ever since he named the kitten Zhuozhuo, Shen Qingxian has always called her Zhuozhuo. Now he deliberately calls her Mimi, and his thoughts are self-evident.
Zhuozhuo skipped over to Shen Qingxian's side. When he first arrived in the main world, she had stared at him for a long time, adjusting to the new perspective. Now, hearing her old meow, she wanted to turn into a kitten again. Her first reaction was to ask 9972 for help, but Yan Bufan said, "Changing your appearance is simple. Zhuozhuo can do it yourself. Give it a try."
The main world communicates and coordinates the three thousand worlds. People who come here will restore their strength. Although Zhuozhuo is not even four years old now, she has already reached a very high level of cultivation. As long as she wants, half of the people present cannot beat her.
Zhuozhuo excitedly sensed the power in her body, imagining herself turning into a kitten. Soon, a warm current flowed through her body. When she opened her eyes again, she found that everything around her had become very big, "Meow~"
Shen Qingxian held the kitten carefully, his eyes slightly hot. He couldn't help but kiss her head, and was patted on the face by the kitten's paw.
"Mee! Don't kiss, Daddy's head is too big!"
The little cat Zhuozhuo stepped back repeatedly and sat down in the palm of Shen Qingxian's hand.
A tall figure loomed over them. "Did it really turn into a cat? Let me see."
Shen Qingxian didn't say anything. The man squatted down and picked up Zhuozhuo like a fragile treasure. He grinned, "Zhuozhuo still remembers me. I'm Zhao Hongwei, your Hongwei father."
The little kitten nodded like a chick pecking at rice. She sat upright, her long tail wrapped around her front paws, and looked at Zhao Hongwei earnestly with her round eyes. "Hongwei Dad, you won't lose your memory even if you transform."
Zhao Hongwei smiled. He didn't say that he only just realized now, that he had a real sense of reality, that Zhuozhuo was still alive. The powerful sight of Zhuozhuo transforming into a kitten helped him accept the fact that Zhuozhuo had returned from the dead.
Zhuozhuo noticed Zhao Hongwei's mood, turned around and hugged him, saying childishly: "Daddy is not sad, Zhuozhuo is with Daddy and makes Daddy happy~"
The little guy is in such a good mood today that he even uses wavy lines when speaking.
Zhao Hongwei hugged Zhuozhuo tightly, wanting to say a lot as if waking from a dream. However, before he could open his mouth, the flashy little robot came over and said with a smile, "It's my turn to introduce myself. My name is 000."
The next second, the little robot turned into an elegant man with brown hair and brown eyes, "My name is Yi Fangzhou."
Zhuozhuo poked his little head out from Zhao Hongwei's arms and spoke together with the strong man with red hair and blue eyes who was transformed from the little robot.
"My name is Mr. Tu."
"His name is Mr. Tu!"
Everyone: “…”
It turns out that this troublemaker is a psychopath.
Mr. Tu continued to transform, and Sun Sirui with black hair and black eyes appeared. He smiled at Zhuozhuo without saying a word. Zhuozhuo said happily, "His name is Sun Sirui!"
The little guy took over the job of announcing the show. When Sun Sirui transformed into Si Hao with black hair and blue eyes, he shouted, "His name is Si Hao!"
Next came the stern man with silver hair and gray eyes. Zhuozhuo said loudly again: "His name is Wood!"
"Zhuozhuo is so great." Wood picked up Zhuozhuo and kissed his little face.
Everyone: “!!!”
This thing has quite a lot of tricks.
"Zhuozhuo, can you please tell everyone my name?" The young man lying in the rocking chair stretched out his hand to Zhuozhuo with a lazy look on his face.
Zhuozhuo was about to give Wood a smack when she heard him say that. She kicked her legs and asked him to put her down. She ran over like a madman, climbed onto the rocking chair, and plopped down on the man's stomach, making him bounce like a dehydrated fish. The little girl chuckled and said, "Your name is Gu Yan, and you are Gu Yan's dad!"
Gu Yan was satisfied, so he hugged Zhuo Zhuo and kicked his legs to shake her.
The atmosphere, which had been relaxing, gradually began to stir. Everyone smiled at this warm yet dazzling scene. Qin Jin looked at the man sitting behind the green plants and said, "Sir, it's your turn."
The man froze for a moment when his name was called. He took a deep breath and wanted to ask Zhuozhuo to help him, but Zhuozhuo was now diagonally across the room from him, far away. He swallowed hard and was about to play it cool by announcing the news on his phone when he heard a crisp voice, "His name is Zhong Qing. Zhong Qing's father doesn't like people."
Zhuozhuo slid down from the rocking chair, ran to Zhong Qing, hugged him, patted his arm gently, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Zhong Qing, Daddy. Zhuozhuo is here."
Zhong Qing hugged Zhuozhuo, the corners of his mouth curled up wildly, "Zhuozhuo is with me, I'm not afraid."
Everyone: “…”
I was fooled by his honest look!
Qin Jin called the truly honest man, "Sir, it's your turn next."
The honest man Yang Fan said honestly: "My name is Yang Fan."
That’s all.
Fortunately, Zhuozhuo was very good at carrying water. He ran over and hugged him, saying in a baby voice, "Dad Yang Fan doesn't like to talk."
She looked up at him and said, "Whatever Yang Fan's father wants to say, Zhuo Zhuo will say it for you."
Yang Fan smiled honestly, "You left in such a hurry that we didn't have time to learn how to make dumplings."
He didn't say he wanted to make dumplings with Zhuozhuo, because there were so many fathers here. Even if Zhuozhuo scheduled it from Monday to Sunday, it would not be possible for all the fathers to have a turn. She had to arrange the schedule by month.
Zhuozhuo's eyes lit up, and she wanted to make dumplings very much. "Dad! Daddy! Let's eat dumplings today!"
Because there were too many people and few of them could cook, everyone originally wanted to book a table at the hotel. Since Zhuozhuo wanted to make dumplings, everyone agreed.
Since we were going to make dumplings, we had to buy the ingredients. Between online shopping and going to the supermarket, in order to get some time alone with Zhuozhuo, everyone tacitly chose to go out to buy groceries.
He Song and Zhao Xinyan instinctively said they were going to buy groceries to entertain these wild dads, but they soon realized their intentions. He Song was grateful, apprehensive, and strangely compassionate. In the end, under Zhao Xinyan's gaze, he did not compete with them for this task.
9972 showed up at the right time, providing directions and speaking for everyone: [Baby, are you going to buy groceries?]
All the wild dads cast their eyes towards 9972, and they liked it a little bit.
9972 silently retreated to its original position. "Don't look, don't look, especially Dayan, all of you, don't look!" After a few seconds of hesitation, 9972 felt it had to stand up again. This is the main world, its territory! Its parents, aunt, second uncle, third aunt, uncle, second aunt, third aunt, fourth uncle, youngest aunt, cousin, and cousin are all here. It doesn't need to be afraid!
Then, 9972 floated a little higher. However, no one noticed.
The wild dads were arguing and fighting with each other, vying for a spot in the grocery shopping. Zhuozhuo didn't notice the impending tension at all, and jumped up and down happily, "Hurry up and change your shoes, we're going out! Mom, the car can't hold too many people, we need to take the public hovercraft, how much is it?"
Zhao Xinyan glanced at the other "wild dads" with different expressions, then at her biological father, and smiled as she handed Zhuozhuo some money. "Go ahead, everyone. This is the money for the hovercar. I'll transfer the money to you later for shopping. Honey, when you pay, just scan your face."
Zhuozhuo, who now holds the financial power, is even happier. He says to his fathers with a smile: "Zhuozhuo will ask mom for money to support you~"
The penniless wild dads: "..."
Zhuozhuo led the other dads out of the house, and the living room was instantly empty. He Song and Zhao Xinyan went to the kitchen to see if anything was missing, and then moved the tables and chairs around in the living room. With over a dozen people, it was impossible for them all to squeeze into the kitchen; they could still make dumplings and watch TV in the living room. 9972 also ran around to help.
Zhao Xinyan watched the busy little cat with a smile. She could see the atmosphere between 9972 and the other wild dads and felt sorry for the little guy, but she couldn't say anything rashly. She'd better wait until Zhuozhuo noticed. She was a natural at keeping things balanced and would definitely be able to maintain good relations with everyone.
Many people went there, but the efficiency was very low. It took more than two hours for everyone to come back. Everyone was carrying things. Zhuozhuo was not carried but was running on the ground. Sweat broke out on her forehead, and she was taken away by Zhao Xinyan to change clothes.
Shen Qingxian, 000, Gu Yan, Zhong Qing, and Yang Fan could all cook, and with the addition of He Song and Zhao Xinyan, they quickly assigned tasks to everyone and set up the stall. Regardless of whether they were good or bad, everyone was busy in an orderly manner. Zhuo Zhuo was like a hardworking little bee, running around to help, and the living room and kitchen were filled with laughter.
Everyone's relationship has become much closer through mutual help.
Strength lies in numbers. Half an hour later, the first pot of dumplings was ready, and everyone received a small bowl. Zhao Xinyan prepared seven dipping sauces. 9972 held up his own small bowl, wanting to try each one, when he saw Zhuozhuo looking at him with a grin.
9972 subconsciously glanced at the wild dads and whispered: "Baby, what's wrong?"
Zhuozhuo said mysteriously: "Everyone, we want to give you a surprise."
[What surprise?] 9972 reacted, [Who else wants to surprise me?]
"And us."
Dayan's deep voice sounded behind 9972, causing it to jump up suddenly.
Zhuozhuo was surprised, "Everything?"
9972 laughed dryly twice, but before he could find the right words to say, he heard Dayan continue, "I'm sorry I scared you. I didn't do well in the small world before. I will make up for the harm I caused you."
A red flower appeared out of thin air in his hand. "This is the Heart Protection Flower. It can clear the inner demons and protect the true heart. I asked Zhuo Zhuo about it, and it will be useful to you too."
9972 took it stiffly. It was more than just useful. The Heart-Protecting Flower could strengthen their consciousness, that is, their soul, which was a priceless treasure in the system.
Before 9972 could react, Shen Qingxian came over and handed it a ball of yarn. "I've added power to it. When activated, it will self-destruct and destroy space."
9972 was excited. Thanks to the props i-001 gave it, it would no longer be afraid of being trapped!
The others came forward one after another and gave 9972 gifts. 9972 was uneasy at first, but then he became very happy. This must be the surprise given to him by Zhuozhuo. Zhuozhuo was so nice.
After receiving the gifts, 9972 was thinking about what gift to give them in return when he saw Zhuozhuo raise her hands behind her back. In her hands was a kitten's head as big as an apple.
"Tongtong, thank you for binding me and taking me on the mission. You saved me and my parents!"
"9972, thank you for not giving up. Thank you for bringing Zhuo Zhuo here to gain experience and for allowing us to meet."
If 9972 hadn't been kind enough to take Zhuozhuo back to gain experience, then use his own points to help her revive and travel back in time, Zhuozhuo wouldn't have met the wild dads. After learning the truth, they were extremely grateful to the system that had fought so hard against them.
9972 was at a loss. [Me, we're a win-win-win situation. I'm now ranked in the top ten, and I got a lot of rewards...]
Zhuozhuo smiled and clapped his hands, "Everyone is kind, so good things happened to them. This is, good deeds will be rewarded!"
She asked everyone to stand in a circle, and she stood on a chair to make up for her height, then held out her hands. The others understood and also held out their hands and put them together.
Zhuozhuo said: "We are family and good friends. We want to live happily together forever!"
Everyone: "Okay, we'll live together forever!"
Zhuozhuo jumped up and down happily. She loved having the whole family together. The little girl waved her hand and said proudly, "Zhuozhuo has many more tasks to complete so that we can have more people at home!"
Wild dads: "..."
The wild dads smiled. After all, competing with eleven people or a hundred people wasn't much different; it all depended on their own abilities. As long as it didn't affect Zhuozhuo's health, life, and studies, it was good to visit more small worlds and broaden his horizons.
