Chapter 112 Double Bug Game
"Godless World has also introduced a new way to increase intimacy. Do you want to try it?"
Carlos picked up the kitten who was watching a serious educational video.
He found that most of the time - especially when he was busy - Huo Xiu would choose the form of a kitten.
Not that projection.
...Huo Xiu wants to get in touch with the real world.
Carlos deciphered the message easily.
"Are you done washing?" Huo Xiu stretched out his cat paw to press against Carlos's face, and then quickly switched to projection mode.
His smaller figure soon appeared in front of the light screen and continued to study the history of the Zerg's development.
"...Little farmer, it's no fun being like this."
Carlos complained, his freshly dried hair was fluffy and curly, lying softly on his cheeks, making him look very soft.
But the bug he wanted to watch was an AI that didn't understand romance.
"What is the new method?" Huo Xiu asked while studying, without even turning his head.
"A mini-game," Carlos replied. "We can play the two-worm mini-game. The first game will probably increase your intimacy by 2-5."
Huo Xiu turned around and asked: "Playing in the game?"
"You can do it in real life," Carlos said with a smile, then brought up the interactive game section. "It's not a holographic game, it's a more traditional controller mode."
"Try it?"
"After reaching 60 intimacy, you can stay in the real world for a full 12 hours at a time."
Yes, after the intimacy reaches 40, Huo Xiu can enter the companion mode for 8 hours, and then a 48-hour cooldown period is required.
After reaching intimacy 60, it can be extended to 12 hours, and the cooldown time is shortened to 36. Even the scale of the projection will be magnified.
Although it hasn't been officially announced yet, there are rumors on the Starnet that when the intimacy between the two reaches 100, the male insect can stay in interactive mode forever - what's the difference between that and having a love insect in the real world!!!
Of course, this practice also brought a lot of criticism to "Godless World," with people saying that Xingchen Company's greed was too shameful! This setting was designed to encourage female insects to continuously give virtual male insects krypton gold.
But it has to be said that the setting of this series is simply a hit. The turnover of "Godless World" has increased sharply, and the profitability has made Harvey look sideways.
"Yeah." Huo Xiu agreed readily.
He paused "History of the Zerg" and quickly came to Carlos' bed.
"How do you play?" he asked.
Carlos shrugged, "Need to switch to physical mode."
He wasn't lying.
Huo Xiu looked up and gave him a deep look, then the little black cat jumped up and jumped onto a chair beside him.
"So defensive against me?"
Carlos said dissatisfiedly that he would throw the chair out sooner or later.
"You have a criminal record." Huo Xiu refused very bluntly. The last time, Carlos held him in his arms and kissed him for more than ten minutes before letting him go.
This madman.
"Tsk." Kaka curled his lips and then took out two small, specially made game controllers.
One is a push rod that can be used to adjust the direction, and the other is two buttons.
"This is very simple to operate. Even paws can play it." Carlos smiled as he installed the controller on the table. "The left push stick moves the direction, the red one on the right is the jump button, and the blue one is the grab button."
"Come on, little farmer."
After Kaka demonstrated it, he sat down obediently on the edge of the bed, then enlarged the light screen projection and sat side by side with Huo Xiu.
The game interface started quickly.
"The pink one is you, the blue one is me."
Huo Xiu fiddled with the putter with his claws, and the pink, soft lump in the picture began to move.
It has pointed pink ears and a soft W-shaped mouth.
——It’s a cartoon kitten.
The same goes for Carlos's character, but it's blue.
They are like boneless plasticine, shaking their heads as they walk.
"What do you mean?" Huo Xiu had never played games before, and the plasticine on the light screen was even more difficult to control than a mecha.
"Use the jump key to jump over here, little farmer." Carlos took the first step. He controlled the blue kitten in the screen to jump up awkwardly, with its hands raised like a limp zombie.
Its legs were still kicking wildly in the air, trying to jump farther.
"You have to keep pressing the jump button, otherwise it won't go far enough." Carlos taught patiently.
Huo Xiu frowned, pushing the lever while stepping on the jump button on the right with his claws.
But because one of his forelimbs was resting on the push rod, it was difficult for the other paw to continuously click the jump button.
The pink kitten fell down and was pierced by the sharp spikes at the bottom of the cliff.
“…”
Huo Xiu retracted his claws and looked at Carlos expressionlessly.
"Come again."
Carlos turned his head in time to hide the smile on his lips.
Too cute what to do!
This time, Huo Xiu chose to push the push rod first, and used his two claws to frantically hit the jump button on the right.
Jumped over.
Carlos saw the little black cat's tail flick in the air.
"Okay, next we have to jump onto that piece of ice. That piece of ice has no friction, so as long as there's a forward force, it will move forward," Carlos explained. "So we both have to jump on it together and hold down the grab button to avoid falling."
Huo Xiu nodded.
Carlos jumped over first. Huo Xiu watched the ice begin to move forward. He hurriedly operated the push rod and pressed the jump button at the same time, but he only had two front paws - his hind legs needed to squat on the table, so he didn't have an extra paw to press the grab button in time.
“…”
Huo Xiu tried a few more times, but failed every time.
Carlos reminded him maliciously, "You can try the hind legs. I can disassemble the two keys and install them."
Huo Xiu swung his black tail, and the tail accurately pulled away Carlos's outstretched hand.
Then, Huo Xiu thought of something, he moved his body, and put the extremely flexible tail on the putter.
"Come again." Huo Xiu urged.
This time it was very successful. Huo Xiu's tail was strong enough to support him in pushing the putter.
His two front paws are placed on the jump button and the grab button, one on the left and one on the right.
The later levels become increasingly difficult. Sometimes, two kittens need to hold each other and roll over to complete them. Sometimes, one kitten even needs to step on another kitten to get high enough to jump up.
The battle became increasingly fierce.
Huo Xiu pressed both buttons, making a clicking sound.
"Hold me, hold me!"
"Jump."
"Yeah, little farmer, you really like grabbing my butt. Does it feel good?"
"roll."
"Ah, I could see the kitten's fur swallow when you stepped on me—"
"Shut up."
When Sean had something urgent to report to Carlos, he heard this conversation.
Carlos took a moment to glance at the video call: "What's up?"
Sean stood up straight. "We've found a buyer for that batch of goods. It's...it's Jeremy Palmer. He offered a price far exceeding the market price."
After he finished speaking, he waited anxiously for Carlos' instructions.
But the other end of the line only said "I understand" and then hung up.
On the other side, Huo Xiu and Carlos also successfully passed the level, and they gained five points of intimacy for the first time.
After Huo Xiu relaxed, he found that his tail felt a little sore.
The details of this simulated plush are really well done - you could say too well done.
"What's wrong?"
Huo Xiu noticed Carlos's silence.
"Bad?"
He was a man of great sense of propriety. After realizing that he had been a little presumptuous, he added, "You don't have to say it."
Then he was held in Carlos' arms.
"Just a nasty bug."
Carlos sighed, then put his face into Huo Xiu's furry belly. He felt that the claws that usually rejected him very forcefully were just kicking his face softly today.
"My full name is Carlos Palmer."
“…”
"Jeremy Palmer is my...brother. We share the same mother."
Huo Xiu also fell silent, so Carlos's enemies were his own relatives.
"My origins are a disgrace to the Palmer family." Carlos chuckled twice, "Because my biological father is my nominal great-grandfather."
"They firmly believe that if their offspring's talents are insufficient, they can be improved through blood reproduction."
"Of course, we can't say that their theory is wrong," he said lightly.
"My female father is a B+ grade female insect, and my male father's bloodline purity is only 40% - but I am a genuine S grade."
Carlos raised an eyebrow. "And Jeremy, born to the same dam, is a B-, even though his sire's bloodline is purer."
"But I have a little 'flaw'."
"So they dare not try it again." Not only do they dare not try it again, they also try their best to hide this stain.
Carlos laughed again, his fluorescent green eyes lit up quietly in the darkness, without a trace of warmth in them.
He didn't say anything else.
The room was silent for a moment.
"Don't you want to ask what my flaw is, little farmer?" Carlos fell on the bed and lifted up the little black cat.
Huo Xiu turned around, jumped over his head, and landed on the soft pillow.
"Character," he said coldly.
"Huh? That's too much, little farmer! How can you say that I have a personality flaw? Am I really that annoying—"
"It's too obvious."
The black cat swished its tail impatiently, then curled up on the pillow.
The tip of his soft tail tapped against the pillow.
Like some kind of urging.
Carlos was a little flattered: "Will you sleep with me, little farmer?"
He quickly lifted the quilt and made an inviting gesture: "Can you come to my bed? Rub your little bell - no, little belly for me again."
Carlos changed his words in time to avoid the danger of being caught.
“…Don’t push your luck.”
Huo Xiu warned Carlos.
But he lay on the pillow without moving.
Although I didn’t agree, but——
Nor did he escape.
Carlos lay on the bed, facing the black cat on the pillow, then stretched out his fingers to touch the whiskers on his face.
Huo Xiu was annoyed. He moved his ears but still chose not to return to the game.
"You are so soft-hearted."
Carlos whispered.
"The soft-hearted kitten will be eaten."
The black cat's long tail brushed against Carlos's mouth and nose, causing him to cough twice.
Huo Xiu has discovered that Kaka's throat is very shallow and sensitive, and it is easy to choke or get stuck.
Seeing that its goal was achieved, the black cat closed its half-open green eyes.
Carlos coughed and laughed.
Of course he understood what Huo Xiu had left unsaid.
——Eat cat hair.
