45. Artist Dad 12
Who is knocking at my heart? It's that incredibly handsome dad! Dad, I love you, just like a mouse loves rice!
You all are having fun, but I'm different. I'm feeling melancholy, worried about the ten difficult days that are coming.
[Holy crap! A basin of ice water poured down from upstairs and I froze into an ice sculpture.]
[…I, too, have a feeling that the next ten days will be the most difficult ten days of my life.]
[Go, my miserable love affair is about to end! I've already made it through half a month, what else is left but these ten days?]
[This is over. How can I, a moonlighter, get ten thousand dollars? If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have spent most of it so early in the month!]
…
Cheng Ye was also enjoying the show. Just as he was about to share some of the netizens' funny daily life with his father, he looked up and found that his father was busy.
Cheng Ye walked over curiously, wanting to see what his father was drawing. When he got closer and took a look, he was shocked.
Under a gloomy, gray sky, the weed-covered ground lay dotted with eerie piles of bones. Yellow sand swirled through the air, and small rocky hills, eroded beyond recognition by the strong wind, formed a chilling mass grave filled with lurking danger. Strangely, the massive skeletons suffered nothing like the small rocky hills. They lay quietly on the ground, untouched by the evil winds.
Cheng Ye racked his brains, but couldn't figure out what kind of beast this skeleton belonged to, especially one so large. A long tail bone suggested it could be a dinosaur, but the head didn't look like a dinosaur at all; it looked more like a tiger's skull. The other one was even stranger, round and plump, like an oversized lantern, with a short head...
Looking at the volcano to the north, dark red magma gushed out under strange pressure, accompanied by billowing toxic black smoke flowing over the mountain, scorching the land. Dark volcanic ash rose rapidly with the heat, covering the entire mountain.
"Dad, what is this plate?" It's scary.
Cheng Jiu took a moment to glance at his son and said, "This is the Ancient Beast Battlefield."
Ancient battlefield? Cheng Ye was puzzled: "No, Dad, didn't you say before that the ancient battlefield is a secret realm?" Didn't you say that the secret realm would be added later? Why is it added so far in advance?
No one can complete the secret realm exploration so far in advance, or no one dares to challenge it? They haven't even embarked on the immortal path yet, and the sect section is not open yet. There is no point in preparing for the secret realm so early.
Cheng Jiu poured the paint back into the palette and began to mix the colors, while responding to his son:
This was Captain Tang's request. He wanted a difficult section to be used as a special training ground for them. "Captain Tang is Tang Jianlei, the captain of the DD Special Forces. He's the guy in the military uniform with the expressionless face who'd been to their house before."
The corner of Cheng Ye's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, I don't think the difficulty he said is this kind of difficulty.
Cheng Ye, who revered and admired soldiers, thought he could try to help them. He carefully composed his words and said, "Dad, I think special forces training could be something like that: flexibility training, gravity training... or training deep in the dense jungle like in the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest, where dangers abound." That's probably it, right? He wasn't entirely sure, so he just made up some stories he'd seen on TV.
Cheng Jiu looked up at his son and said slowly, "They are already tired of these little trainings in reality, so don't make things difficult for them in the illusion." Captain Tang said that the greater the difficulty, the better, in order to arouse the fighting spirit of the soldiers.
Who is making things difficult for them? !
Cheng Ye once again looked at the ancient battlefield that his father had set to an extremely terrifying tone, shuddered in horror, and wished them good luck.
Seeing his son staring at the painting, Cheng Jiu suddenly had an idea and said, "If you like it, you can go in and explore it in advance after I finish the painting."
He thought for a moment and continued, "But you have to finish your homework ahead of time, and you can't play too much." If you play too much, you won't have the heart to study. This is the case with children nowadays.
Now, whenever he had free time, he watched the parenting channel, which featured many classic case studies of families with young children. He couldn't relax, nor could he be too tense. There were so many tricks involved, and he had memorized them all in a notebook. Of course, he automatically ignored the fact that his son was already twenty years old.
After hearing this, Cheng Ye suddenly stepped back and said, "Haha, no need, Dad. I think my most important task now is to prepare for the battle, prepare for the battle, prepare for the battle! Just play appropriately." After that, he retreated to sit on the sofa, so as not to attract his father's attention anymore.

Ten days later, at 6:00 PM, the National AA official account released a message. First, there are three channels for purchasing the Leaf Bracelet: A, B, and C. Second, you must register an account on the purchasing platform using your ID card before purchasing. Third, purchased bracelets will be shipped in batches three days later. Therefore, please purchase in batches to avoid a situation where too many people buy and the purchase channel becomes blocked.
As soon as the news broke, netizens flocked to the purchasing platform, registered their own purchasing accounts, and waited for 8 o'clock to arrive. As for consciously buying in batches, it was impossible! It would never happen in this lifetime!
The result of netizens' excessive enthusiasm is
Yes, as soon as the purchase channel was opened, a large amount of data poured into the backend of the purchase platform, and then, under the horrified gaze of the young man in the backend... it was successfully stuck.
"Ahhh!" A group of young men in the backstage roared in pain at the same time.
"Why didn't you listen to my advice? Can't you wait an hour or two before buying? Isn't there still one evening left? Why are you trying to buy now?"
"Now that it's stuck, is everyone happy?"
"So, can't we buy it tomorrow?"
"There's one night tonight and one day tomorrow, so what are they rushing for?!"
"They are all shipped at the same time. Is there any difference if I buy it early or late?"
The backstage team leader scratched his dwindling hair and said with a vicissitudes of life, "Stop complaining and get back to work. The boss said that if we can hold on for the next two days, he'll give each of us a 10,000 yuan bonus."
I'd sacrifice my life for ten thousand dollars.
...The young man in the backstage was working hard to repair it while feeling both pain and happiness.
Of course, the netizens who were "happy" again would not just wait patiently, so they posted again.
#I want to give Shenbao to the purchase channel#
#Did I submit my order successfully? #
#Only 'three minutes' platform#
#Waiting and waiting, so much waiting#
[My three minutes of passion, I am so disappointed.]
Let's call this platform 'Kidney Brother' from now on. Maybe it'll get used to it.
My mind is freaking out! As someone known throughout the neighborhood for my speed, I can't believe I didn't make a purchase? WTF! My title as the speed queen of Singles' Day suddenly feels so ironic. It's so laggy I'm questioning my life. I submitted my order, and then it got stuck when I was finally checking out!!!
[Haha, I felt relieved when I saw that no one else had a successful purchase, hahahaha… I am such a dark-minded woman.]
[His face was filled with sorrow. After waiting for nearly a month, this happened at the last minute. So disappointing.]
[P, scumbag, you don't pay attention at ordinary times, and you fail at the critical moment, you short-lived bitter melon! ]
[Can you please hold on a little longer? I've already paid, are you going to make me famous?]
[I hope the guys backstage can give me some help. The money in my pocket is starting to bite me. I need to spend it quickly!]
[Hahahaha… I knew this was the case, so I didn't even click on it. If you ask me, since they're all shipping in three days, that still leaves two days, so why are you in such a hurry?]
[The one above is very calm, I didn’t even buy an account
I have registered. Now seeing how much pain you are in, I know how wise my approach was.
You guys don't understand the feeling above, but it's so intense that I can't wait to spend money on my dad. I've been so devoted to my dad, but he doesn't appreciate it!
[You cannot understand the happiness of the spectators.]
An hour later, the purchasing platform was finally repaired, and the purchasing channel was reopened three minutes later.
After learning from the previous experience, the situation was not as crazy this time. The platform finally stopped reporting errors and marking them in red, but the process was still very slow. It took five minutes to add the item to the cart, five minutes to submit the order, and five minutes to pay. Just as the user was about to smash their keyboard, the system finally displayed that the purchase was successful.
So the netizens who had gone through many hardships and finally bought the Yejie bracelet, returned to the previous post with their mobile phones and expressed how happy they were to have spent ten thousand yuan!
…
[Comfortable, so comfortable! I have never been so happy after spending ten thousand yuan.]
My order's been stuck for over ten minutes, so I came here to post a quick update. I noticed a lot of people bought it! Some people even went so far as to post screenshots here. It feels like there's no love left in this world, this scumbag world. Goodbye.jpg]
[I just made a successful purchase and am already looking forward to receiving the bracelet. ]
The daily anticipation for Yejie had begun again online. Just as Cheng Ye was about to return to her room to finish her last paper of the day, a message arrived on WeChat.
Cheng Ye was stunned after reading the message sent by the little fan, and turned to ask Cheng Jiu: "Dad, what if the bracelet is damaged? One of my fans said that his bracelet was accidentally damaged. How can he buy a replacement?" He had thought about this problem before, but because the new material of the bracelet was very hard, he gave up. Now he actually encountered this situation.
Cheng Jiu put down the pen in his hand and said, "He has to get rid of his original bracelet before he can buy a new one." The information of the person who already has the bracelet has been fed back into the system. The system has matched his ID card, so there is no way to buy a second time.
In this case, they will also need to set up a service hall or service machine specifically for recycling discarded and damaged bracelets.
Cheng Jiu: "You ask your little fan to send me the bracelet code, and I will destroy it. When the data comes out tomorrow, he can buy it again."
Cheng Ye: "Okay, I'll ask him to send it over right away."
