Chapter 18
A few seconds later, Yuan Yingying and Lu Ying emerged tremblingly from under the pile of jewels, wearing a jewel necklace and a crooked pure gold crown on their heads.
They quickly threw away all the treasures they were carrying to prove their innocence.
Finks nodded to Bling, who understood and took out the sapphire that had been under his claws.
Finks threw out a beautiful parabola, and the huge sapphire happened to fall in front of Yuan Yingying.
The girl picked it up and her eyes widened - this was exactly the one she needed to find in the mission!
They thought of countless possibilities for obtaining the gem, including being lucky enough to find it right under their feet upon entering the dragon's lair, winning a desperate battle with the dragon, and even the gem not being in the dragon's lair at all...
——In short, this does not include the ultimate boss of the copy handing (throwing) it to you personally!
It's simply magical.
I will definitely post it online later.
As if he could see what they were thinking, Finks stared at them with his red-gold eyes and spoke in a deep voice.
"Take the gem and get out. Don't tell anyone what you see here. Otherwise, I will go to your world."
Lu Ying shuddered.
Even though it looked like a humanoid like them, the condescending intimidation in its dragon eyes still made people go weak in the knees.
The dragons' transformation into human form was a secretive and opportunistic trick. They didn't intend to let the two people who knew about it take it out of the sub-world and let other players know about it, which would make their work more difficult.
I also don't want the primary NPCs in the sub-world to know: humans have too low IQ, the less they know the better, otherwise it will be very troublesome to manage.
Lu Ying and Yuan Yingying's hands were shaking as they held the sapphire: "I...I know..."
Finks was still staring at them, his eyes as bright as a dragon's.
It seemed to be evaluating whether these two humans could keep their promises.
Otherwise, it would be safer to do it on the spot.
While he was considering this, Li Jue twisted his little body in Ling Xi's arms, trying to get out: "Mimi, mimi!"
Ling Xi put him down in a daze, not knowing who he was calling.
He looked back at Bling, and the red dragon was no less confused than he was.
Are you talking about those two players?
It's impossible...it's impossible to call him boss, right?
Even though the little cub seems a little unstable when standing on a pile of scattered treasures, the advantage of having a low center of gravity is that its short legs are quite flexible when running.
Li Jue quickly ran to Finks' side, raised his hands high like a little seedling, and eagerly asked in a baby voice: "Mimi, hold me!"
Ling Xi and Bling: "???"
"Mimi" is really calling the boss!
What a terrifying name!
Now that they have heard it, they won’t be silenced by the boss when they turn around, right?
But Finks paid no attention to them and easily lifted the cub up.
The cub waved his little hands towards the "halfway up the mountain": "Sister, brother, come here."
Lu Ying and Yuan Yingying didn't want to get too close to Finks, but they had to get closer under the coercion of the tyrant's gaze.
Both of them noticed that this little cub, being pampered by the bosses, was definitely not an ordinary human, but it also didn't look like a transformed dragon.
The cub looks as cute as a doll, with a pair of light golden cat ears and a fluffy tail.
It's so fluffy that people want to pinch it just by looking at it.
Of course, no one dared to touch his cub in front of a tyrant.
(That cold-blooded, tyrannical, and cruel Golden Tyrant actually has a cub, and he clearly loves it dearly, treating it like the apple of his eye. Is this information okay to share on the player forum?)
The only two true humans present approached the cub cautiously, their hearts pounding, wondering if the tyrant's cub would be a little devil with an angel's face.
Li Jue placed her soft little hands on their foreheads and earnestly warned them in a baby voice, "Sister and brother, don't tell anyone."
Lu Ying and Yuan Yingying met the tyrant's gaze, their words stuttering: "I, we promise..."
Before they could finish their words, they clearly saw a small flower.
The petals are tender and pink-white, and the stamens are green with pink.
That shape is... pear blossom.
The delicate and exquisite pear blossoms appeared out of nowhere and bloomed happily.
I don’t know whether it appears in front of my eyes or is projected in my mind.
Soon, the second flower also bloomed.
Then came the third, the fourth...
In their world, a snow-white rain of pear blossoms fell.
They passed out in the fragrant rain of flowers, holding sapphires in their hands.
At the same time, an announcement of the early end of the copy due to the completion of the task appears on the personal panel.
They lay surrounded by luxurious gold, silver and jewelry, their bodies gradually turning into sparkling powder. They were about to leave the sub-world and return to the game hall.
The cub leaned in Finks' arms, biting his fingers and watching quietly.
The adult asked with interest: "What did you do to them just now?"
The baby looked at his own hands, confused: "I don't know."
He looked up at Finks, two dimples on his face, and said to take credit: "Don't worry, brother, they won't remember anything!"
Strictly speaking, this was not Li Jue's spontaneous behavior, but someone was guiding the cub to exercise his rights and erase the part about players not being able to discover that dragons can transform into humans.
In theory, as a system that communicates with bosses, Li Jue's job is to assign tasks to bosses and regulate their behavior; he should not have the authority to modify players' memories.
But he did it.
And it was very easy, everything came easily, as if it was a talent or instinct.
Finks narrowed his eyes.
Combined with the fact that the little guy had no password, no authorization, yet was able to enter the highest security confinement room, and that he could breathe freely in the lake without the night pearl, and the ability to erase human memory just now—
The true identity of this little cub picked up by Lin Wang is probably much more mysterious than they guessed.
Ayaka, who was a little further away, was watching this scene and was also lost in thought.
He knew Li Jue's true identity, the one that was deeper than the system.
The question is when the bosses will discover the former.
When will Zizi realize the latter?
*
The player's login location is fixed in the eastern hemisphere of this human-gathering planet, which has been basically destroyed by the dragons and is full of misery.
The western hemisphere of the planet is a completely different picture. Although it cannot be said to be thriving, at least there is normal social order, although it is a little backward.
The reason why the dragons kept this peaceful place was simple. They had to have a place to eat, go shopping, buy things and chat.
Even if you are a corporate slave working for the Lord God for free, you should have some free time to rest.
The NPCs in the Eastern Hemisphere had no idea that life in the Western Hemisphere was so peaceful and prosperous. Even if they knew, they had no means of transportation to cross the mountains and rivers.
Likewise, residents of the Western Hemisphere, without internet access, have never considered visiting the other side of the planet.
Thus, the residents of the two completely different sides of the same planet live in infinite space day after day.
In the Eastern Hemisphere, the dragon clan is a terrifying giant ghost bird. Once they enter the Western Hemisphere, they will transform into human form and become one of the millions of ordinary two-legged beasts.
The golden dragon and the crimson dragon stopped a few kilometers away from the town, and had to walk the rest of the way on human legs.
Of course, little Li Jue could enjoy such a great hugging position in the eldest brother's arms. Bu Ling was afraid that Ling Xi would get tired, so she also wanted to hug him, but was politely rejected by the boy.
"I can do it, sir." The five or six-year-old boy said with a serious face, "I'm not a baby, I'm a big boy."
Seeing Ling Xi walking away by herself, Li Jue also wanted to come down.
Finks patted his little butt and said, "You'd better stay still."
The little one is easily distracted. Let him walk by himself, smelling the flowers on the roadside and watching the ants moving. It may take him until tomorrow to walk several kilometers.
Their main task today is to buy suitable children's clothing for Li Jue.
After seeing Ling Xi, Finks remembered that the child's clothes could actually be used for the baby, but all the dragons on the ship contributed their own private money to buy a lot of super beautiful clothes for the baby.
Most civilizations with starship-building technology have entered an era where credit points replace physical or electronic currencies, but this planet is very backward. Even the slightly better-off Western Hemisphere still uses ancient coins.
The dragons had no money, but they had countless treasures of gold and silver; what was in the false dragon's nest at the bottom of the lake was only a small part of the collection.
Although humans are not very smart or likable, they are a very discerning race.
Whenever they took these treasures to exchange for goods, they would usually be greeted with such hospitality that their faces would be beaming and their mouths would almost grin from ear to ear.
For example:
"Boss, come on, come on, pick whatever you want!"
"Oh my God, you really are the God of Wealth descended to earth."
"Boss, this pink diamond of yours can buy my store—no, this street—no no no, I think this whole town can!"
"Boss, buy one get one free. I can also give it to you. Do you think you need it?"
When they arrived in the town, Li Jue couldn't resist his curiosity and insisted on coming down to see it in person.
This place is neither the ruins of the Eastern Hemisphere nor the smooth floor of a starship. The cub can finally run steadily.
He was wrapped in red velvet curtains that had been cut short, and his head was also covered to hide his obvious cat ears.
The little cub looks more like Little Red Riding Hood in the fairy tale.
Li Jue had no shoes and ran around barefoot.
Ling Xi was afraid that he would fall or step on something, so she followed closely behind him.
Bling's humanoid form had crimson hair the same color as his scales. He looked at the cub's Little Red Riding Hood and scratched his own hair. "Hey, the baby cub looks quite like me."
Finks didn't even turn around. Just a pause was enough to make Brin realize that he had said the wrong thing and silently zipped up his mouth.
Bu Ling shed tears in her heart, it is really like living with a tiger to serve the king.
I have accumulated so many mistakes today, how bad will the punishment be?
Li Jue in front suddenly stopped.
The little hand grasped the collar of his makeshift red velvet "robes", and he raised his little face, staring at a figure that was about to disappear in the crowd.
Is that... Dad?
