Chapter 44 Stay-at-Home Dad (8)
In the afternoon, Bai Ye looked through the refrigerator and found that there wasn't enough vegetables and meat to eat.
In his "memory," his father was the one who did all the purchasing, but now the two have fallen out, and the old man, seeing there was no benefit in it, simply left.
"Baby, I'm afraid I need to go out for a bit and go to the supermarket to buy some groceries," Bai Ye said casually as she changed the baby's diaper.
Before the next sentence could be finished, the baby on the bed started crying, kicking its legs as it cried, "Go, I want to go, baby, I want to go."
Bai Ye couldn't help but chuckle, "I know, you're different from ordinary babies, I'll take you with me."
A one-month-old baby is strapped to the chest like a woven protective bag, with only the child's face showing.
Bai Ye took the baby out without taking many precautions to avoid light or wind, trusting in the baby's adaptability.
As it turns out, the child is simply wonderful.
They even become more lively and active from contact with nature and people. Especially when they see the dazzling array of goods in the supermarket, they dance and struggle to climb out of the woven bag.
"Hey hey!"
Bai Ye quickly stopped him, "We can't do this. Although you are strong, you are not strong enough yet. You can only get out of this bag when I can hold you upright."
The moment she finished speaking, the woven bag in her arms twisted.
Bai Ye watched as the bag and the child twisted together like earthworms, abruptly and forcibly changing direction by ninety degrees.
Two chubby little hands, which had been placed in the bag, had somehow reached out and were now clinging to his neck and tightly gripping the corner of his clothes.
"Daddy, hug me."
The baby turned its head to look at the left, then the right, and suddenly grinned, "Eat, eat."
He was drooling as he spoke.
Bai Ye wiped her neck with a tissue, her other hand tightly protecting the child's waist.
He was extremely nervous. Could he really hold a one-month-old baby upright?
But the grip around the neck clearly told me that this child had that ability.
"Baby, can I trust you?"
Bai Ye changed to supporting her head with one hand and her buttocks with the other, saying, "You can't do anything reckless. If you force yourself to do this, you can easily injure yourself."
"Baby, fly."
The baby in her arms suddenly broke free, hovered in the air, and tried to swim in the air.
Seeing someone approaching from around the corner, Bai Ye quickly grabbed the child and let him rest on her shoulder, her heart pounding.
"Okay, okay, I understand. You're incredibly strong. I believe in you."
After that, the supermarket trip became dominated by the baby, with Bai Ye assisting.
"Dad, eat."
"This won't do, these are potato chips, junk food."
"Wow……"
"Okay, okay, let's buy it first and try a little bit when we get back?"
"Dad, eat."
"This is spicy strip, no... okay, we can give it a try."
"Dad, eat."
"You decide."
Such conversations were repeated in every corner of the supermarket.
At first, Bai Ye tried his best to persuade him, telling him seriously that he couldn't eat it, but the child was too strong. While crying and using sound attacks on him, he grabbed it from a distance and tore open the packaging bag right in front of him.
To avoid further trouble, the only option was to buy everything the other party had their eye on.
I was terrified when we got to the snack section, but when we moved to the fresh vegetables section, my child just pretended to be asleep.
"Baby, do you want to eat this chrysanthemum greens?"
"Sleep, baby."
"Baby, do you want some corn? Whole grains are very nutritious and can even help with teething."
"Baby is asleep, fast asleep."
Bai Ye: "..." Do you think I'm stupid? How can I talk to you so clearly while I'm asleep?
But the little baby's exaggerated poses were so funny, yet so adorable. There was nothing we could do but let her be.
He even patted the baby and said, "Hmm, baby's asleep, so Daddy will have to buy it himself. Baby's sleeping so well."
"Sigh, my sweet baby."
Even though they were asleep, they couldn't help but respond to every single word.
Bai Ye couldn't stop smiling; he was in a great mood.
When I'm in a good mood, I buy things without thinking, and end up filling two large shopping carts.
When checking out, you can only tell the cashier in advance: "Could you please arrange for home delivery?"
"Okay sir, the service fee of 50 has been deducted. We will arrange delivery within one hour. In addition, the total of these items is 2305, making the total 2355. Please pay."
Bai Ye took out his phone and made the payment.
Immediately after payment, a message popped up showing a remaining balance of 934,567.00.
"Um?"
Bai Ye stared at the balance again and again, "That's not right, I just checked before, there was clearly more than a million."
"Sir, we didn't swipe the card more than once."
I wasn't talking about you.
Bai Ye waved his hand, picked up the child, sat down on a chair next to him, and then looked through various messages on his phone.
That's when I discovered that there were deductions almost every day in the early morning, with fixed times and amounts, and no notification.
He logged into the relevant system and saw the recipient's information: Wu San.
Wu San? Who's that?
Oh right, Wu Neng's father is now my dad.
"What the hell? I'm automatically transferring 20,000 yuan to my dad every day? That's weird, is this something you did?"
Bai Ye hadn't done this, so the first thing that came to mind was that Guiwei had tampered with it.
[Players, please be mindful of your wording; all actions are taken voluntarily by yourselves.]
Was it his own will? So this was Wu Neng's voluntary transfer.
Thinking back to the old man's attitude towards him, and recalling the note, Bai Ye had to admit a terrifying fact: after the environment was reset, this Wu Neng was a spoiled brat.
No, Wu Neng also has a younger brother.
Therefore, the 20,000 yuan transferred every day most likely ended up in the younger brother's pocket.
So she's a brother-supporting demon!
"This is weird. Is this another trap you've set for me? If I hadn't shopped today and hadn't checked my balance, I wouldn't have noticed these daily deductions. I'm losing 20,000 every day without a sound. In less than two months, I'll be penniless."
"Without money, my former observer definitely won't transfer any more money to me, and since I have to stay home to take care of my child full-time and don't have time to go out to work, I have no choice but to ask my family for help."
"How bizarre, what a clever tactic, trying to force me to bow down to the new observer, is that it?"
Bai Ye really couldn't understand why a full-time job as a stay-at-home mom required an observer to be involved.
Without an observer, is it impossible to continue being a full-time stay-at-home mom?
“Strange, I choose to abandon the Observer once again.”
Even though everyone was gone, they could still affect the mission, so Bai Ye decisively eliminated any potential problems.
[Players please note that abandoning the Observer quest again will negatively impact the dungeon quest. In addition to a deduction of 3000, even if you complete the quest and receive a 5-star customer review, your settlement amount will still be discounted.]
"Discount? How much off?"
[30% off, maximum 900 Ghost Coins.]
The mechanical voice rose slightly in tone, seemingly smug, waiting for the player to submit.
Am I hearing things? Why does the mechanical voice still have tone of voice?
Bai Ye remained silent, still deep in thought.
The mechanical voice asked again: "Does the player wish to abandon their previous choice?"
There was a clear tone in his voice, though it was very soft; I couldn't believe my ears.
Bai Ye had always thought that the mechanical voice was a kind of rule prompt from the eerie forum, and that the reason it could change into various sentences was simply because of high technology.
But today, after hearing a mechanical voice with a certain tone, he couldn't help but wonder if the so-called mechanical prompts were actually operated by humans.
If there are people, or "people," then what kind of place is this eerie forum?
A massive, dark organization brimming with technology?
[Players, please make a selection. Ten-second countdown begins: 10, 9, 8...]
"I give up."
Bai Ye looked up, his eyes even more determined. "Strange, I choose to abandon the Observer."
He paused, then added, "No matter how many times you reset the background environment or replace the observers, I choose to give up. I only have one working object and one service target; I don't need any other add-ons."
The mechanical sound seemed to be stuck.
After a long pause, the system reluctantly prompted: "[Player, please confirm again whether you wish to forfeit the 3000 Ghost Coins?]"
Well, you've learned to change your words now, and you're using 3000 to motivate me.
Although Bai Ye was heartbroken at the loss of 3,000 points in an instant, he still nodded, "Give up, I give up, I'm determined to give up."
[Player abandons the Observer role. 3000 points will be deducted from the instance quest reward; execution criteria remain unchanged.]
The mechanical sound disappeared, and Bai Ye felt relieved.
But the next second, he couldn't help but feel annoyed, "Tsk, I forgot to ask the weirdo for the tens of thousands I transferred out earlier. So much money is missing from my account for no reason. This is all the money I used to raise my baby."
The baby in my arms woke up, opened its eyes and smiled, "Daddy, I'm hungry, I want milk."
Upon hearing the baby's voice, Bai Ye's gloom immediately dissipated, and she quickly took out a baby bottle and formula from her backpack.
The shopping mall has a mother and baby room, which is very convenient for preparing formula. Baiye prepared 500 ml of formula and immediately took a taxi home.
The moment he opened the door, he was surprised to find that the layout of his home had changed.
First, the study that the observer used to use was gone. That room had been turned into an activity room, with climbing equipment installed on all four walls.
Secondly, one bedroom is missing; the secondary bedroom is gone, leaving only the master bedroom and the children's room, and the size of both rooms has been expanded.
Bai Ye carried the child into the bedroom and searched through the walk-in closet. Apart from her own clothes, there were only the child's clothes.
Thinking of something, she hurriedly went to the kitchen, opened the cupboard, and sure enough, there were only two bowls, chopsticks, and tableware for two people.
The entire room was as clean and bright as if it had been washed with water.
Standing in the kitchen at night, everything is pleasing to the eye; this is the standard for full-time stay-at-home moms.
A useless and troublesome observer is worse off dead than alive.
"Baby, are you satisfied with the current environment? I'm very satisfied."
Bai Ye looked down at the child, who seemed to understand but just grinned foolishly.
"Oh my goodness, you've grown teeth?"
Bai Ye was overjoyed and couldn't help but reach out to touch it.
As soon as it touched my finger, it was pierced and started bleeding profusely.
"hiss!"
It hurts so much.
How can such tiny teeth, barely peeking out, be so sharp?
"Baby, what kind of steel teeth do you have? They're amazing!"
Even such a small amount can cause damage; imagine if it all grew out and then bitten my arm...
Bai Ye trembled and immediately lowered his head to warn, "Baby, you absolutely cannot bite Daddy, absolutely, absolutely not, understand?"
The baby licked its two bright white baby teeth with its tongue, looking extremely puzzled.
Bai Ye sighed and continued making milk. "Baby, you must always remember that Daddy is fragile. If you want Daddy to play with you every day, then you'd better watch your mouth."
