Chapter 205 Chapter 205 Vest King Dad 25
Zhuozhuo saw that Wood was stunned for a moment and thought that he didn't know how to take care of the child's washing, so he suggested that 9972 should do it. Wood thought that 9972 was more experienced than him and agreed.
9972 immediately selected a housekeeping robot and took it to the bed, washing Zhuozhuo clean and fragrant. "Good night, baby."
"Good night, everyone." Zhuozhuo yawned, looked at Wood beside the bed, and said softly, "Good night, Wood."
"Good night, Zhuozhuo. Go to sleep. I'll leave after you fall asleep." Wood tucked the quilt corner for Zhuozhuo. The lights in the room dimmed and the curtains closed silently.
Zhuozhuo closed her eyes and drifted off into a deep sleep. She had been frightened, and after exerting her mental energy intensely, she fell asleep exhausted, but she had a dream that was both real and illusory. In it, she seemed to float in the air, gazing upon the entire capital planet. Though it was late, few of the people were asleep. Some were sobbing softly, some were in a daze, and some were chatting outside the temporary shelter.
Zhuozhuo listened to the conversations below and realized that everyone was most concerned about aftershocks and post-disaster subsidies. As for injuries, interstellar medical technology was advanced and could treat any condition, as long as it wasn't a genetic disease caused by cosmic radiation. Even in the case of amputation, prosthetic limbs on the market were fully connected to nerves, making them practically identical to the originals in daily use.
The little one was deeply shocked. Upon closer inspection, she noticed many people's clothes were torn and bloodstained, but their physical injuries had mostly healed, and they were all in good spirits. Zhuozhuo finally felt less worried and sad. Seeing many people still awake, she said kindly, "There won't be any aftershocks, and you don't have to worry about running out of money. Zhuozhuo will talk to Sihao tomorrow and give you some money. Zhuozhuo has pocket money, and she'll give it to you, too."
The people on the ground looked around in shock, "Who's talking?"
"Zhuozhuo is talking." Zhuozhuo asked curiously, "Can't you see Zhuozhuo?" Many people's eyes swept over her position, but did not stop.
Zhuo Zhuo is very well-known in the capital star. Neither the military security bureau nor the civilians acted rashly. The former went to ask Si Hao and others for instructions, while the latter boldly asked her if she was the real Zhuo Zhuo, inquired about the gossip between Si Hao, Wu De and Sun Si Rui, and asked why Yi Fangzhou gave his property to her.
Zhuozhuo listened attentively. There were too many random voices, and most of them were asking questions unrelated to the earthquake. She simply ignored them and focused on figuring out how to make everyone see her and believe her. Suddenly, she heard the voices of Si Hao and others, "Zhuozhuo, didn't you sleep? Why are you here?"
"He's asleep." Zhuozhuo was puzzled and said softly, "Zhuozhuo doesn't know how he got here. He was already here when he found him."
Mr. Tu said, "Zhaozhuo was wearing pajamas, so he must have been asleep. He was so worried about the people affected that even in his sleep he was thinking about them and wanted to check on them, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhuozhuo nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice, and then said in surprise, "Bunny, you can see Zhuozhuo!"
Yi Fangzhou said gently: "We can all see Zhuozhuo." Just in a moment, Zhuozhuo, wearing little yellow duck pajamas, appeared in mid-air, looking down at the people below with a cute look and talking.
Wood: "Zhuozhuo, everyone on the capital planet can see you."
Zhuozhuo felt a little guilty and whispered, "Wood, Zhuozhuo really didn't run around."
"I know. Zhuozhuo is sleeping, and this is your dream."
There's a legend in the universe that, during the early stages of the Zerg invasion, a female omega with SSS+ psychic power perished alongside the Zerg Mother. Without her guidance, the Zerg's fighting power plummeted, saving the defenseless human race from annihilation. However, because both sides were powerful SSS+ psychics, the energy waves generated by the battle destroyed electronic equipment and affected people's memories. Therefore, there's no record of this incident in human history, leaving only fragmentary accounts of uncertain authenticity.
And in that legend, the SSS+ human hero used his mental power to construct a dream realm, enveloping the Zerg Mother and the people of several galaxies, and died together with the Zerg Mother in the realm.
No one had ever believed this legend, but now everyone who remembered it believed it, and they immediately looked at Zhuozhu eagerly. The hatred between the Zerg and humans had lasted too long and was too deep. Most people hoped to quickly drive the Zerg out of the galaxy where humans lived, or even completely wipe out the Zerg.
In the past, under the guidance of various forces, everyone thought that humans were at a disadvantage in the war with the Zerg. Suddenly, Zhuozhuo appeared, and everyone was so excited that they wanted to call for Zhuozhuo to go to the battlefield. Only when they saw her small body did they control their emotions a little.
Yi Fangzhou, No. 2 and Si Hao looked at Wood coldly, but they also knew that Zhuo Zhuo had made too big a fuss today. Even if Wood didn't point it out now, someone would think of it later. It would be better to hold the initiative in their hands before everyone reacted.
The four of them looked at each other and released their mental power calmly. Yi Fangzhou said softly, "Baby, your mental power has enveloped the entire capital planet. That's great. Are you tired?"
Zhuozhuo was originally quite excited, but after hearing this, a deep fatigue surged from the depths of her soul. Her eyelids twitched and she mumbled vaguely, "I'm tired, I need to sleep..."
The small figure above everyone disappeared, and the capital planet fell silent for a moment before a heated discussion erupted. At the same time, countless patrol robots took to the air, monitoring everyone's conversations.
After this night, Zhuozhuo was no longer the lucky little beta, no longer the little angel held in Si Hao's palm, but the hope of mankind to defeat the Zerg.
9972 hadn't expected Zhuozhuo to pull such a stunt. She had already completed seven small world missions and received gifts from the High Magic World. Her soul strength was unmatched within the small world, so enveloping a planet was a piece of cake. If Zhuozhuo used her consciousness deliberately, it could practically encompass the entire universe, like a small world consciousness.
Fortunately, Zhuozhuo would not do this, otherwise the small world consciousness would feel threatened and would reject them or even attack them.
9972 wasn't worried that Zhuozhuo would be forced into savior by the interstellar people. It trusted Si Hao and the others to shield Zhuozhuo from hostile voices from the outside world. It worried that if Zhuozhuo truly decided to exterminate the Zerg on a whim, it would affect the evolution of the small world. Because the Zerg and the Humans rivaled each other, supporting half of the foundation of the small world, their extermination by humans would represent humanity's gradual growth and displacement of the Zerg. However, if the Zerg were exterminated by outsiders, it would be like having half of a load-bearing wall of a house suddenly collapse.
In order for the small world to evolve smoothly, Si Hao and his team must destroy the Zerg before Zhuo Zhuo.
The bedroom door opened, and Wood walked in. 9972 instantly sounded the alarm, watching him warily. Compared to when Zhuo Zhuo slept, Wood was now several times more powerful. 9972 detected his energy fluctuations and found that it was indeed five times greater. In layman's terms, it was like the combined power of Wood and the other five.
Back when he was on Chunhe Star, Sun Sirui would use the excuse of secluded painting to withdraw his consciousness and transfer it to other bodies. His primary purpose wasn't to strengthen one's power, but to share memories. But now that Wood's transformation was so obvious, it must be that the consciousness and bodies of the other four had all returned as energy.
With this thought, 9972's previous doubts were resolved. It had been curious about how Si Hao and the others had managed to appear simultaneously, but now it understood that their bodies were composed of spiritual energy. Perhaps due to years of experimentation and transformation, Yi Fangzhou's spiritual power and body had undergone a transformation, becoming pure energy that could be transformed into each other. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to split himself into six parts.
Wood glanced at the dead 9972 and said straight to the point, "I'll go kill the Worm Mother. Protect Zhuozhuo and don't let anyone outside disturb her."
9972 was startled, yet unsurprised. Wood had the ability to kill the Insect Mother, but he considered it his last interesting task, saving it for when he had no more attachment to this world. But now with Zhuo Zhuo, this dull world had become vibrant and colorful. There were so many interesting and boring things, and the Insect Mother had become a nuisance, so she had to deal with it immediately.
Fearing suspicion if she remained silent for too long, yet unable to utter a single word of concern, 9972 finally uttered, "Because of your guidance, everyone thinks Zhuozhuo's mental strength isn't strong enough right now, and they'll wait until she reaches adulthood. There's still a dozen years left, so there's no need to rush."
Wood stared at 9972, as if peering through the shell and space of the housekeeping robot. He said slowly, "The Zerg can't be eliminated now. Will it affect Zhuo Zhuo? What is your mission?"
9972 was startled, but then calmed down with the strange feeling of "I've been seen through again", and remained silent.
Wood thought to himself, "To stop me from destroying the world?"
9972: [……]
Haha, that's a pretty accurate guess, that shows how well he knows himself. But the Worm Queen still needs to be dealt with quickly, lest Zhuozhuo messes up while they're not paying attention.
9972 stammered, "You can do whatever you want. You're heading in the right direction. I can't tell you the details, so don't ask!"
Wood didn't press the issue, but simply said softly, "As long as Zhuozhuo stays with me, I'll be an ordinary, good father."
He glanced at Zhuozhuo, who had slept in an octopus shape in just a few minutes, covered her with the quilt, and turned to leave.
9972 remained motionless until it detected that Wood had left the capital planet. Then, it whimpered softly and lay on the bed, mumbling to Zhuozhuo, "Baby, Wood is so mean! He threatened me while you were asleep, sob, sob, sob..."
However, 9972 was already prepared for a long-term battle in this small world. He would fight Wood until he died! Although those with higher physical fitness and mental strength had longer lifespans, could any longer lifespan compare to Zhuo Zhuo, who had the support of the system?
Zhuozhuo smacked his lips, kicked the quilt away with a kick of his legs, twisted his body into a knot, and fell into a deep sleep with his mouth open. He was completely unaware of the commotion outside, nor of what was happening in the bedroom.
A good night's sleep leads to a good day's sleep.
Zhuozhuo slept all day and all night, and when she opened her eyes, she felt lost, as if she didn't know what day it was. She was dazed and was taken to wash and eat by 9972. Finally, she sat on the furry carpet, a stuffed dog in her left hand and an excavator in her right. She tilted her head and said, "...Ah, Sun Sirui, Si Hao, Wood, Mr. Tu, Yi Fangzhou, all alone, not at home."
[Yes, they go kill the insect mother. Zhuozhuo will wait for them at home, okay?]
"Can they defeat the Worm Queen in a fight?"
【We can beat them, and we will definitely win! 】
"Okay." Zhuozhuo put down the toy and looked at her computer. She found that the little black snake on her wrist was still there, but it was fake and would not interact with her. After confirming that the little black snake was not dead, she turned to 9972 and said, "Zhuozhuo hasn't told Si Hao yet to give everyone money."
Don't worry, baby. Si Hao and Yi Fangzhou have already made arrangements. The subsidies were approved overnight and began to be distributed at 8:00 this morning. Everyone has received them now. The government is also rebuilding the damaged buildings free of charge, and everything is expected to be completed by 12:00 tonight.
Zhuozhuo clapped his hands happily, "Yi Fangzhou is great, Si Hao is great!"
9972 reluctantly agreed. If Zhuozhuo hadn't said so, these two people would not have taken care of these matters personally. But judging by their actions rather than their intentions, they did good things anyway.
Originally, online commentators on Star.net were predicting a sell-off of Yi Fangzhou's transfer of assets, suspecting him of mental illness and preparing to sell off his shares the next day after the stock market reopened. However, thanks to Zhuo Zhuo, Yi Group's stock price hit its upper limit within the first minute of trading today, and this trend is expected to continue for at least a month. Now, online commentators are showering Zhuo Zhuo with praise, wishing her a safe and healthy life. Si Hao and the others have become the lucky lucky idiots.
However, these things should not be taken seriously and can easily cause stress, so 9972 didn't say a word to Zhuozhuo.
"Then where are 11, 22, 33, 44, and 55? I haven't seen them for a long time." Zhuozhuo was a little worried about his good friend the system.
[They've merged, but their size is too large, so it might take a long time.] 9972 originally thought the fusion would be complete today, but there's still no news. The small world's system is still too weak, tsk.
Zhuozhuo thought for a while, and when he had no more questions to ask, he lowered his head and started playing with his toys.
9972 couldn't hide his feelings and said excitedly, "Baby, we're going to stay in this little world for a long time. Headquarters has approved my application. I've also applied for growth potions, so you can grow up normally."
"Growth potion? Is it bitter? Will I grow bigger after eating it? How big will I grow?" Children have an instinctive yearning and desire to grow up. Zhuozhuo threw away his toys and asked questions in rapid succession.
[The growth potion can remove the restrictions on your soul in this small world, allowing you to grow day by day like a normal person. It will take approximately twenty years to complete growth. The height is expected to be between 1.72 and 1.78 meters, taller than my current body.]
"Wow." Zhuozhuo was filled with anticipation, clenching his fists and saying, "Zhuozhuo is going to grow up!"
