Chapter 38 Fluffy
Another world, the border of the abyss.
In the past, Chi Yizheng would first put on the shell of Thrall and let Chi Xiaozhen follow him, while distractedly controlling Chi Xiaozhen. But before coming this time, he thought about it and felt that he could not favor one over the other, and as a father he had to treat them equally, so this time he took the main control of Chi Xiaozhen and let Thrall follow him.
Not only that, he even dressed Chi Xiaozhen nicely before leaving: camel-colored boots, khaki trousers, a gray jacket, and a white shirt underneath. Chi Xiaozhen thought this was a very comfortable and warm outfit, but the game actually criticized his aesthetic. Fortunately, Thrall's consciousness hadn't yet formed, otherwise Chi Xiaozhen would have complained to Thrall: "What does the game, with its intelligence, know about human aesthetics?"
After standing still at the border of the abyss, Chi Yizheng's gaze wandered over the land, his pupils reflecting a world of ice and fire, one red and one blue.
"Yugi, remember when I looked down through the hole and said this place was hell on earth?"
Yugi hummed in a high-handed manner.
The Two Worlds Shuttle Card allows for a customized shuttle destination. The first time, the game randomly selected a location. Chi Yizhen had bad luck and landed in the palace of the Kingdom of Theodore. From that time on, he could spend points to travel freely. This time, Chi Yizhen chose the location he had previously seen through the hole. If the inhabitants were more powerful, they would have seen a small hole in the sky.
This place is called the Border of the Abyss. Chi Yizheng remembered the background story that said that more than five hundred years ago, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the earth here, and hot magma and monsters emerged from the crack. In order to prevent the monsters from spreading outward, the intelligent races of this world gathered almost all the extraordinary people and froze this crack that almost went through the entire earth. Unfortunately, as time passed, the seal gradually loosened, and magma and monsters emerged from the original blue frost edge again, and the situation became more serious every year.
According to the game's background, this seal could have lasted for a thousand years, but the evil gods' pyramid schemes were incredibly powerful. First, humanity, and later many other intelligent races, began to be brainwashed. In this world where idealism reigns supreme, the more humanity believes in the evil gods, the stronger their power grows, the more monsters they create, and the more miserable humanity's life becomes...
"Tsk, what a sin!"
After Chi Yizheng sighed, he suddenly felt itchy on the upper of his shoes. He looked down and saw several sets of fluffy black bugs crawling out from the ground and crawling up along the upper of his shoes. Chi Yizheng was stunned for a moment, then burst out with a high-pitched sound of several tens of decibels, and the whole person bounced up as if equipped with a spring. While bouncing, he stomped his feet hard and shook them off, and finally got rid of those black caterpillars as thick as his arms.
He breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of rebirth. He even explained to Yugi, "It's not that I'm timid, it's just that ordinary caterpillars are only about the thickness of a finger, but this alien caterpillar is as thick and long as a snake. Even a strong man can't handle it."
After he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. He looked down and suddenly realized that he was using his daughter's shell!
Chi Yizhen's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately opened the character card control interface, and found that there was an extra line in Chi Xiaozhen's personality setting.
Chi Xiaozhen's current personality setting: 1. Gentle, considerate, and likes to distribute flyers.
2. It hates insects to the extreme. When frightened, it will scream at high speed, lose its rationality, jump and swing wildly, and utter a string of Chinese curses.
Chi Yizhen: ...
Daughter, I'm sorry. I originally wanted to raise you into an elegant lady.
He sighed and thought, forget it, raising a child is not something that ordinary people can do, so I'd better just go with the flow!
Chi Yizheng continued to move forward.
At the same time, the dwarf elves living on the border of the abyss finally discovered the two uninvited guests.
A pair of black, vertical pupils were hidden within the bulge on the brown hill. It watched the man and woman approaching from a distance, its curly ears twitching, and then it swiftly burrowed back into the ground...
"Did you see clearly, they are two humans?"
The underground caves where the dwarfs lived were not dark. On the contrary, they had a strong sense of aesthetics. Small mushrooms emitting soft white light were planted in a circle, like a never-extinguished galaxy, softly illuminating the dwarfs' dwellings.
The dwarves have lived here since ancient times. A long time ago, the soil here was fertile and the rivers were clear, but since five hundred years ago, everything has changed.
Five hundred years ago, according to a covenant between races, transcendents from other races protected the dwarfs who inhabited this area, and the dwarfs were to serve as a frontline defender. Things were fine before, simply because the living environment grew colder, and the dwarfs simply grew a layer of fur to insulate themselves, and life continued as before. However, in recent decades, the seals have increasingly cracked, and more and more monsters have emerged. They have been forced to move to underground caves, living a life like rats. In recent years, the pups born in the tribe have generally become weaker, and as the tribe leader, Hohochi is deeply worried.
When Huo Huoqi heard the tribesmen who were patrolling outside say that two humans were approaching the hinterland where they lived, he was very curious. Because their extraordinary powers were very useful, the dwarfs maintained good relations with most intelligent races and had no ill feelings towards humans. After thinking for a while, he asked the tribesmen to open the door and welcome the two guests in.
Although they were two powerful extraordinary people, this was the base camp of the dwarfs. There were more than 100,000 dwarfs living here. They were not afraid of just two extraordinary people.
The average height of the dwarfs is less than one meter, and the caves they live in are less than two meters high, making them unsuitable for hosting tall and long-legged humans. Therefore, the meeting place was set on the ground.
When Huo Huoqi saw the two humans in person, he developed a liking for them. It was because, who doesn’t like beautiful things?
Although they are of different races, "beauty" has its own natural formula that is not restricted by race, skin color, height, weight or body shape. The dwarves believe that the eyes and brain are very sophisticated, and their perception of beauty always takes precedence over any acquired factors.
After seeing the dwarfs in person, Chi Yizheng also developed a favorable impression of them. It was because a row of furry creatures politely laid out delicious food to entertain you. Who wouldn’t be moved to tears by their cuteness?
Chi Yizhen imagined the restaurant he opened, with the furry creatures wearing tiny work clothes, standing on chairs to help customers take orders, calling numbers, and standing on tiptoe to serve food to customers with their furry paws... their round tails swaying behind them as they walked with trays...
No, no, I can’t think about it anymore!
