Shi Jinzhe was truly surprised that everyone could actually have their own opinion. "Since no one cares about the form of address, let's just call each other that."
"You're probably the only one who cares about this," Shekh said as he walked past him.
Shi Jinzhe: "You became cold towards me when you saw your sister."
Mu Bai stood next to Bai Weishuang and turned to say, "See? Your son is like he has a Sheh dependency. He can bring it up and say something if Sheh doesn't even glance at him."
"So be it. It's already like this, you can't just let him not see it." Bai Weishuang shifted her gaze, focusing on Shekh who was approaching. "He's even more attractive without the ribbon. Is he always this clingy?"
Shekh: "I cling to him too."
Bai Weishuang: "...Okay."
It's a good thing that young people have good relationships, even though they're not really young anymore.
She got straight to the point, "Back then, I saw many important milestones in the future. How did things go for you two at the beginning?"
"Well enough."
Shekh glanced back at Shi Jinzhe, who was standing still. Out of respect for his mother, he didn't mention that he was so frightened by the first sight of him that he couldn't move.
“He’s been very good to me, but he was a bit poor at the beginning and still hasn’t bought me a high-speed train ticket.”
What is high-speed rail?
Sheh looked at Mu Bai, who had asked the question, and explained with a great sense of accomplishment, “It’s a car that looks a lot like a snake. I really like it. If you can leave here, you must ride in it.”
“Yes, you can.” Shi Jinzhe interrupted the family’s conversation, took out the [Life] card and handed it to Mu Bai, “You and your mother go, I can live here for a while.”
Mu Bai took the skill card, her voice rising as she spoke, "You did a great job. The skill range of a one-word card is based on the user's perception, but world bosses are limited by this because they cannot leave their own world at will. It's not easy for this card to be upgraded to one-word."
Mu Bai's voice was tinged with laughter, "But I don't need it. It's a waste to keep this card with me. Wei Shuang said that you've solved the system problem and it will be useful in the future, so you can take it back."
Shi Jinzhe declined, saying, "I now have complete control over the power of life, so not having the card won't affect anything."
Bai Weishuang: "No, it has another purpose. Last night, Mu Bai and I discussed some things about the game, which should be helpful to you..."
Guh~
Her stomach suddenly growled.
Bai Weishuang casually tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and prepared to continue speaking.
Shekh turned around and walked back. “Go back to the cabin and have something to eat. Your husband, who drinks the immortal’s breath, and your son, who drinks the dew, don’t feel hungry. By the time they remember to eat, you’ll be buried.”
"..."
Mu Bai wore a somewhat dim-witted expression and awkwardly responded with a soft "hmm."
Bai Weishuang has been "dead" for so long that he hasn't thought about eating for a long time, forgetting that living people also have the need to eat.
"Sheh is right, let's go back first." Shi Jinzhe asked as they walked, "Is there anything you want to eat?"
Shekh: "I want to eat Buddha's Hand Rolls and Fish Fillets with Cream Sauce."
Shi Jinzhe: "Is there any more?"
Shekh: "And lily-stuffed shrimp paste."
Shi Jinzhe: "...Is there any more?"
Sheh: "Crab meat and bamboo shoot shreds, three-delicacy dragon and phoenix balls, and coconut milk jelly, please."
"...You ordered a Manchu Han Imperial Feast."
"You're the one who asked what you wanted to eat."
"...I'll take you to eat when we get back. Now let's get down to business. After cooking all this, we'll be starving by the time we finish."
"Then just do whatever you want." Shekh wasn't very interested; if he couldn't get what he really wanted, he'd just make do.
After they finished ordering, Bai Weishuang chimed in, "Actually, it's not a problem if I'm a little hungrier..."
Shekh understood what she meant and took Shi Jin's arm, saying, "Look into my eyes."
"You only see food, not me now."
"You're in my heart."
Bai Weishuang, who was half a step behind, quickened her pace. She couldn't stand the sticky stuff and walked away.
…
Evening, the treetop cabin.
Bai Weishuang, unable to stay still, paced back and forth in front of the kitchen counter, asking, "Don't you really need me to do anything?"
I always felt that with the three of them sitting there, it was especially uncomfortable for one person to stand and work alone.
Seeing that she was about to grab the vegetables, Mu Bai quickly pulled her back, saying, "You've been working so hard for so many years, sit down and rest."
“Yes, let’s rest.” Shekh nodded in agreement.
The biggest help Bai Weishuang can give is to stay away from the kitchen.
The two men stood guard on either side of her like monsters, only letting her out once the tableware was set out.
Bai Weishuang picked up a piece of fish and said, "As expected of the child I gave birth to, I finally don't have to eat mud-tasting things anymore."
"It turns out that not all dishes need to be made into a paste."
Mu Bai unconsciously voiced his inner thoughts, but Shi Jinzhe changed the subject before Bai Weishuang's expression could furrow, "What were the things you discussed yesterday?"
Bai Weishuang: "We want to change the way we select players first. The current selection method is bound to cause complaints from players. Even a normal person would be driven to illness by it. The game is already difficult, and many people are also exploited by real life. So I think it would be better to just select dead people to enter the dungeon."
"Then revive them with the [Life] card after they meet the requirements?" Shi Jinzhe understood her meaning in a second and said, "I've thought about that too. Many people die unexpectedly. If they can't get through it, they die. If they can get through it and accumulate enough points, they can be revived. We just need to erase their memories of the game and let them return to the moment before they died."
Mu Bai: "If you don't want to go back to the real world, that's fine too. Your mother and I are thinking of setting up a player guide, which is perfect for those who don't want to go back."
As Shi Jinzhe listened to him, he noticed two extra pieces of meat in his bowl when he looked down to pick up some food. He casually put one into his mouth, swallowed it, and said, "That's feasible. Not many people can adapt to the game right away. Having someone guide you to speed up your growth is a good option, but it can't exceed two rounds. From the third dungeon onwards, you must complete it on your own to avoid becoming dependent on it."
Another feature is that dungeons can have difficulty levels set. Players can only access higher difficulty dungeons when they reach a certain level, based on their accumulated points. This prevents players from intentionally holding back their level progression.
“Those who commit suicide should be screened out.” Shekh put down his water glass and drank a large glass of freshly squeezed juice before belatedly catching up with their conversation. “People who have no will to live are useless in here. If they really want to die, let them die peacefully. Suicide is just wanting to die, not wanting to die miserably. Don’t bother those kinds of people.”
Shi Jinzhe poured her another glass and immediately launched into an exaggerated compliment: "Okay, you've really thought this through. I'll do whatever you say."
Shekh accepted the water glass without changing his expression, ignoring the expressions of the two people opposite him.
