Chapter 203 Chapter 203 Vest King Dad 23
Mr. Tu glanced at Wu De and Si Hao, then smiled and said, "Because I need to do something for the four of them that they're not comfortable doing."
Zhuozhuo immediately turned to look at Wu Desihao and said disapprovingly, "You should do your own things yourself and not bully others into doing theirs."
Wood cried out in injustice, "Zhuozhuo, we are the same person. What Number Two did, I also did."
"Ah..." Zhuozhuo almost forgot about this. She looked at Wood, then Mr. Tu, then at Si Hao. Her head was spinning. She said in a daze, "I'm alone, but you're all here."
Wood and Mr. Tu looked at Zhuozhuo with a smile. "Zhuozhuo, guess why."
"Okay, you always let Zhuozhuo guess." Zhuozhuo rubbed his face in distress. He stopped playing with the mecha and eating the cake. He looked like he was concentrating on thinking hard.
She remained silent, and neither did the other three men. Even their facial expressions vanished, they sat there coldly, like three soulless puppets. This corner of the world suddenly transformed from the warm spring of March to the bitter cold of winter, causing even those who had been secretly observing to withdraw their gazes in panic.
Everyone toasted, but their minds were elsewhere. This dinner was specially held in Si Hao's honor. They all secretly knew that it was his army that had massacred the royal family and was stationed outside the capital star, watching covetously. The leaders of the central star system and the front lines had immediately responded to his orders, demonstrating their loyalty. The remaining star systems, lacking the military might to rival the central star system, had also gradually expressed their obedience.
Si Hao was already the uncrowned emperor of the empire. Everyone assumed he would ascend the throne immediately, hoping to connect with the future emperor at the banquet and test his attitude. But Si Hao had no sense of being the protagonist at all, and had retreated to a corner to take care of his children, and they dared not disturb him.
The crowd nominated several powerful and respected representatives who wanted to have a frank talk with Si Hao, but they saw a dignified and elegant figure walking towards the corner, so they decided to wait and see.
Zhuozhuo, who was struggling to think, immediately noticed someone coming. She looked over as if she had seen a savior and asked enthusiastically, "Uncle, who are you looking for?"
The three fathers immediately looked at the person who came. What was it that could make Zhuozhuo treat him so differently?
Ignoring the murderous gazes of the three men, Yi Fangzhou slowly sat down opposite Zhuo Zhuo and asked with a gentle smile, "Who do you think I'm looking for?"
Zhuozhuo, who had gone through the process several times, guessed it immediately and said with a chuckle, "Handsome uncle, are you looking for Zhuozhuo?"
"Yes." Yi Fangzhou removed the virtual projection of his face and smiled brightly, which made Zhuo Zhuo stunned for a moment before he said in a milky voice, "Your name is... Yi Fangzhou!"
"Yes, Zhuozhuo remembered my name. I'm so happy."
The little guy shook his head proudly, "Zhuozhuo is smart."
Yi Fangzhou nodded slightly. His brown hair and brown eyes made him look warm and cozy. His voice was as soothing as the gurgling of a stream. "Smart Zhuozhuo, I have a problem. Can you help me?"
Zhuozhuo, who was troubled by a problem, was very willing to help. "Sure, go ahead."
Ivan said, "I have a lot of assets. Money is just a number to me. I'm tired of this number growing every second, but my assets are related to the livelihood of the Empire, the Federation, and even all of humanity. I can't handle them casually. Lest I destroy these things on a whim one day, I will lose my ownership and decision-making power over them, but I have no one I can trust."
He said gently, "Zhuozhuo, would you be willing to keep it for me? I believe I wouldn't want to damage your things."
Zhuozhuo was so dazed by what she heard that she could only manage one sentence. She giggled and said, "Are you going to give Zhuozhuo a gift?"
"Yes, I want to give Zhuozhuo a meeting gift. Would Zhuozhuo accept it?"
"Zhuozhuo is willing!"
"Okay, let's sign this contract." Before Zhuozhuo could figure it out, Yi Fangzhou quickly went through the process.
A virtual screen appeared in front of Zhuozhuo, and a gentle mechanical voice rang out: [Little Master, please spread your palm and place it where the cursor is lit.]
Zhuozhuo placed his little hand on the cursor, and the screen immediately changed. A voice announced, "The transfer agreement has taken effect." Zhuozhuo looked at Yi Fangzhou's computer and said in a childish voice, "Are you 001?"
【Yes. 】
"Zhuozhuo guessed right."
The four systems and four people all praised Zhuozhuo for his intelligence.
Zhuozhuo said mysteriously, "Do you know how Zhuozhuo guessed it right?"
"How did you guess?"
Zhuozhuo smiled and said nothing. Si Hao was the first to react and said sincerely: "Zhuozhuo, tell me. I really want to know."
Others echoed this and asked the clever Zhuozhuo to clarify their confusion.
Zhuozhuo had kept everyone in suspense for a long time, so he pointed at the tops of the four people's heads and said childishly, "Look here."
After being recognized by Zhuozhuo, they no longer tried to control their mental strength to maintain unfamiliar shapes. Now they all had the looks that Zhuozhuo was familiar with, and they continued to play the slides rhythmically.
"What's going on here?"
Si Hao provided support at the right time.
Zhuozhuo counted on his fingers and said seriously, "Above your heads, the animals are changing, in order. The first one is a black bird with a long tail, the second one is a big black dog with three heads, the third one is a black snake with wings, the fourth one is a black cat that eats fish, and the fifth one is a black turtle. Above Sun Sirui's head, the big black snake appears for the longest time, and his companion system is called 003."
Worried that they wouldn't understand, Zhuozhuo emphasized, "Sheshe is the third one."
The black snake that was wrapped around Zhuozhuo's wrist and made into a bracelet moved.
"Oh, the order in which the spirit bodies appear is the same as the system numbers." Yi Fangzhou suddenly realized that the numbers of the accompanying system were randomly chosen according to the order in which their identities appeared. He did not expect that the spirit body above his head also followed this order when showing the slides.
Zhuozhuo pointed at Si Hao, "The black cat stayed on your head the longest, and the cat appeared fourth. Yours is all called 004."
The fifth turtle that appeared stayed above Wood's head the longest. His system was called 005.
The second three-headed dog that appeared stayed above Mr. Tu’s head the longest. His system was called 002.
The first long-tailed black bird to appear stayed above Yifangzhou's head the longest, and his system was called 001.
As long as you can discover this, it will be easy to guess the system number.
"Zhuozhuo has such a strong sense of observation," Yi Fangzhou praised. He patted Zhuozhuo's little head and said encouragingly, "Zhuozhuo, can you tell me if you have any other discoveries?"
"Sure." Zhuozhuo agreed, but didn't speak immediately. Instead, hesitantly asked, "Is there a number before 1?"
The four of them laughed, and Yi Fangzhou said gently, "Yes, there is a 0 before 1. Zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, and ten."
Zhuozhuo nodded, his face full of pride, "You didn't expect Zhuozhuo to find out, did you?" He said crisply, "You have another person, whose spirit body is a mist, and the system is called 000."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud rumbling sound, and the ground beneath his feet shook. Tables, chairs, and benches toppled over, and wine glasses and plates crashed to pieces. Zhuozhuo, protected in Mr. Tu's arms, heard his shocked and angry cry, "My mental power is out of control!" before his towering body pinned him down on the sofa.
Zhuozhuo felt as if she were being crushed by a mountain. She arched her back, only to find that Mr. Tu wasn't actually pressing down on her. Instead, he was using his elbows to prop up a small space. Zhuozhuo wriggled out like a giant insect, only to find the shaking had stopped. Si Hao, Wood, and Yi Fangzhou were just as dazed as Mr. Tu. Screams rang out in the banquet hall, and people fell and were trampled, howling in agony. But the commotion was quickly quelled by the soldiers who rushed in.
Many people rushed over, looking at them with worry, greed, or even viciousness. Zhuozhuo didn't know what was happening, and instinctively wanted to protect the fathers. However, the powerful Xihe mecha couldn't summon its full form here because it would crush everyone to death. Zhuozhuo only thought about isolating them from the others.
A mental barrier appeared, covering the sofa area in the corner, "Don't come over here! Go away!"
Zhuozhuo emerged from Mr. Tu's protection and looked at the crowded crowd with some fear, but still ran over with his fists clenched, shouting loudly to scare them away.
But no one left. Everyone was talking at once. Some asked Zhuozhuo to come out, some asked Zhuozhuo to close the barrier, some asked about Si Hao and the others, and some even shouted, "Look at the news! Just ten minutes ago, Yi Fangzhou disappeared from the wealth list. In his place, a man named Zhuozhuo became the new richest man in the galaxy!"
The already chaotic scene became even more chaotic. Many people asked Zhuozhuo what had happened. Even the army's arrival was unable to maintain order. Adjutant Grace looked at the nobles, who were like vultures, and pulled out an energy gun to shoot upwards. The sound of the crystal chandelier falling down calmed the excited people a little.
Grace gave a bloodthirsty smile and said, "Please leave within three minutes, or I will start cleaning up the dangerous objects."
As for who the dangerous person is, you can tell by looking at the murderous aura on Grace.
Some people left immediately, some hesitated, wanting to profit from the current situation, and some took advantage of the situation to break into the barrier.
Several screams rang out, and all those who tried to force their way through the barrier were knocked unconscious by the powerful mental force. Testing the unconscious people with instruments revealed brain damage, with mental fluctuations nearing zero, meaning they had become vegetative.
Now no one dared to stay. They looked at Zhuozhuo in horror, turned around and left in a hurry.
Zhuozhuo stared at the person on the ground in a daze. When he heard Grace calling, he looked over with panic. After a while, he stammered, "Aunt Grace."
"Zhuozhuo, we meet again. You are great. You protected yourself, General Si, Wood, Yi Fangzhou and... um, does Zhuozhuo know the red-haired man?" Grace asked deliberately, trying to pull Zhuozhuo out of his state of stress and panic.
The burning emotion gradually relaxed in Grace's relaxed tone, and he followed her words: "His name is Mr. Tu."
"Zhuozhuo protected Mr. Tu."
Grace finished speaking seriously and praised, "Zhuozhuo is amazing, he's a little hero."
Zhuozhuo looked at her in silence, calling out to 9972 in her mind. She was completely bewildered, having no idea what was happening. But 9972 hadn't responded, and this only intensified her anxiety. She began calling out the names of 001 through 005, but there was no response either. But Zhuozhuo didn't stop, his voice growing louder and louder.
"Zhuozhuo!" Grace called out softly. When Zhuozhuo looked over, she said gently but without hesitation, "We can't get through the barrier. Can you check on Admiral Si and the others?"
Zhuozhuo came back to his senses and stared at Grace.
Grace waved her hand and said softly, "Zhaozhuo, what is this?"
“…Hands.”
Grace shook the energy gun in her other hand, "What is this?"
"Gun." Zhuozhuo paused and said, "Bang, bang, bang!"
The light returned to her eyes and she whispered, "It hurts when a gun hits someone."
Grace breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "If you shoot a bad guy, it won't hurt and he won't remember."
"Yes."
"Zhuozhuo, turn around and go back to see General Si, okay?" Grace guided carefully.
"Sure." Zhuozhuo walked slowly to Si Hao and looked at him sadly and worriedly.
"Zhuozhuo, touch General Si's chest. His heart is beating."
Zhuozhuo squatted down and placed both of her hands on Si Hao's chest, feeling the strong and powerful heartbeat beneath her palms. She turned to look at Grace, her eyes shining, "Si Hao's heart is beating so loudly!"
"That means Si Hao is healthy, he just fell asleep." Grace directed Zhuozhuo to check on the other three. Seeing that Zhuozhuo's expression was becoming more and more relaxed, she tentatively said, "Zhuozhuo, it's cold sleeping on the floor. I'll go in and move them to the sofa, okay?"
"Sure."
Grace gently touched the barrier with her hand and was not rejected or attacked. Then she walked through the barrier and strode to Zhuozhuo to check if she was injured.
[Baby! ]
[Baby, can you hear me? Baby, Zhuozhuo!]
Zhuozhuo's voice was soft, "Zhuozhuo heard it."
[Baby, are you okay?! Were you scared?! Don't be afraid. Si Hao Wood No. 2 Yi Fangzhou is fine and alive and well. You're fine too! I'm fine, and this little world is fine too. It's still alive and well!]
Grace carried Zhuozhuo to the sofa and she leaned against Si Hao's arms. She then crawled over and hugged his neck. Only then did she feel a sense of security. She asked 9972, "Tongtong, what's wrong?"
[Baby! My little world just shook, disrupting me and briefly losing contact with you. I've sent an emergency message to headquarters, but they haven't released any results yet. I can guess the reason, though!]
9972 was incredibly excited, and before Zhuozhuo could ask, he blurted out everything, "Because you, baby, have discovered the secret of this little world! This secret could be called the core framework, or the underlying logic, but it's incredibly important. Normally, this secret wouldn't matter to anyone, but it's the reason this little world's evolution failed. So, after you discovered it, there was some turmoil."
This turmoil is a positive development, like a cultivator's sudden enlightenment, a student's sudden realization while solving a problem, a police officer's flash of insight while solving a crime... The small world finally understood why its evolution had failed. Because during the evolutionary process, Yi Fangzhou had acquired a new identity! Originally, after escaping the laboratory, he would have created his first pseudonym, Mr. Tu, followed by Sun Sirui, Si Hao, and Wood. However, during the evolutionary process, he merged with the intelligent brain in the laboratory, becoming a new individual, 000.
"000?" Zhuozhuo said happily, "There really is 000. The spirit body is a cloud of mist. Zhuozhuo is right."
