81. Mysterious Dream Fairy Tale (4)
Is this the heart of a toy?
Xie Zeyuan quieted down.
He looked down at Qin Fu'an as he skillfully threaded the needle, and a sense of disillusionment washed over him.
"How do you know how to do this so well?" he couldn't help but ask.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Fu'an put down the last needle. He twisted a piece of thread around the needle, which was deliberately stuck in the round claw of the building block, and then pulled it out, successfully leaving a hidden and sturdy thread inside.
He used his spiritual power to cut the remaining thread, and upon hearing this, while tidying up his tools, he replied without changing his expression: "If you were raising a bunch of newborn babies, you would be just as skilled."
Xie Zeyuan then remembered that she seemed to have indeed seen Qin Fu'an raising children before.
"Your demon race is quite harmonious," he remarked, whether sincerely or insincerely.
Qin Fu'an used her round hands to lift Xie Zeyuan, who had been fully recovered, off the stool.
"Guard the door, don't disturb me."
After saying this briefly, Qin Fu'an sat down on the stool, casually placed the toolbox at his feet, and began to disassemble his own ears and round claws.
Xie Zeyuan roughly guessed what he was going to do, so when he saw a barrage of question marks in the comments, he acted as the commentator:
“Building blocks are very malleable, so Mr. Qin is adjusting his hands to make it easier for him to move around.”
Indeed, just as he said, the viewers in both live streams watched as Qin Fu'an, seemingly oblivious to the pain, quickly dismantled his ears and hands, and even removed several small building blocks from his already mutilated stomach, ultimately using them all to modify his two round little bear paws.
[To be honest, it looks kind of cool!]
[In mythology, Nuwa created tiny humans; in reality, humans use genetic engineering to alter the appearance of their offspring; in games, even a toy bear made of building blocks can do its own thing. Am I the only one so ugly that I can't change my appearance?]
[Hahaha, don't worry, upstairs. I'm not only ugly and powerless, I'm also so poor I have no way out.]
[So nobody noticed the streamer's answer? What does "raising a bunch of newborn babies" even mean? Does this mean the streamer is cheating on our little cloud behind her back?!?]
[I remember now, during the last dungeon run, the streamer seemed to have mentioned to Xiaoyunduo that he had a child in real life. Could it be that the streamer really does have another family outside?]
[It shouldn't be that bad... The streamer doesn't seem like that kind of person at all.]
[You can know a person's face but not their heart. Anyway, I'll make a note for Xiaoyunduo first. If she really has other relationships behind Xiaoyunduo's back...]
Qin Fu'an glanced up and saw the increasingly lively barrage of comments, and felt that his viewers had a really rich imagination.
He didn't want to explain, especially with Xie San watching the commotion from the sidelines. Qin Fu'an lowered his eyes and inserted the last building block from his finger, finally having a pair of normal hands that didn't hinder his movements.
"A toy is coming," Xie Zeyuan whispered a reminder.
Qin Fu'an looked up and saw the toy, which had just raised its hand to knock on the door, shrink back in fright and instinctively ran away under the gaze of Qin Fu'an's deep green, indifferent eyes.
As soon as it ran away, the other toys, not knowing what was happening, also fled in panic.
In just a few seconds, the area outside the ticket booth was completely empty.
Qin Fu'an: "..."
"Mr. Qin, your smile doesn't seem to be working very well, does it?" Xie Zeyuan said sarcastically, pointing to the round, red smiley face on Qin Fu'an's chest.
Qin Fu'an sneered: "Don't you know that behind a smiling emoji lies a murderous intent to kill?"
"I imagine the internet in the underworld must be terrible."
Xie Zeyuan choked, once again realizing how unwilling Qin Fu'an was to suffer a loss.
They won't even let themselves gain an advantage with a single word!
With just a few words, he could retaliate with ten times the power, even launching a sweeping attack across the entire map!
During the short time the two were bickering in silence, new toys finally passed by outside the empty ticket booth.
The person noticed the plush toys and teddy bears inside, their eyes flickered, and they came over and knocked on the door in a friendly manner, asking, "Excuse me, do you know of any jobs available in the city recently?"
Qin Fu'an and Xie Zeyuan exchanged a glance. The seemingly more harmless rag doll smiled faintly, hiding the murderous intent hidden in her smile, and politely replied, "Perhaps you can ask other residents. We two have always lived in this remote place, and few residents pass by, so we don't know much about the city."
[Important note: I've always lived in this remote place.]
[Further emphasis: Very few residents pass by.]
[Teacher Xie closed the book and smiled slightly: Students, there's no need to underline anything. Every sentence and every word I said is important.]
"So that's how it is..." The old Transformer at the door slowly raised a smile, stepped into the small house, closed the door behind him, and said with a smile in a low voice, "Since we've met, it must be fate. Can I borrow something from you?"
The dirty rag doll seemed frightened, staring up at him blankly. Upon hearing his voice, it backed away in fear, cautiously asking in a trembling voice, "W-what do you want to borrow?"
"Of course, I'm just borrowing your toys—"
The Transformer's hand, which was swiftly reaching for the rag doll, was suddenly blocked by a sturdy prop box.
With a crisp clang, the Transformers paused, then, after recognizing the item box, exclaimed in surprise, revealing their deception: "You're players?!"
Despite the surprise, their hands did not stop moving; instead, they became even faster and more decisive in the face of this unexpected crisis.
The black teddy bear, which had been silent all along, dropped its prop box, picked up the rag doll that was standing there dumbfounded, and threw it at the Transformer.
The rag doll then used its hands and feet to cling firmly to the Transformer's head, successfully blocking all of its view.
As the other person frantically reached out to try and pull him off, the black teddy bear also rushed up.
Qin Fu'an did not attack the newcomer. Instead, he took the tools from the toolbox and took the opportunity to remove one of the wheels from the other party's body.
Xie Zeyuan was trying his best to avoid the Transformers trying to tear his hands apart.
He possessed agility and mobility completely different from the cloth-clad chibi characters. After dodging an attack, he casually caught the parts that Qin Fu'an threw at him and easily inserted them into the metal shoulder connector of the player.
The Transformer's right hand was easily stuck.
Qin Fu'an also took the time to remove another wheel from the other party, and then threw the parts back to Xie Zeyuan.
The same old trick was used again; the method was old, but it worked very well.
The Transformers players weren't stupid either. Seeing that they were losing to two opponents, they immediately tried to flee.
Unfortunately, he slammed the door shut behind him, and he had to use his hands to open it. Both of his hands were stuck and malfunctioning, so he couldn't quickly open the door and escape during the fight.
In his forced and far from smooth operation, the black teddy bear, holding a heavy little iron hammer, jumped onto the table and smashed it twice on his head.
Player: "..."
After the extreme noise and pain, the whole world fell silent.
Looking at the massive metal figure lying on the ground, Xie Zeyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly took out the "trash" from the ticket booth and inserted it piece by piece into the Transformer's connecting skeleton. This would ensure that once the Transformer regained consciousness, it would be impossible for him to escape easily at the first moment.
"Should we ask him which enemy he is?" Qin Fu'an stood to the side, holding a small iron hammer. The red smiley face on the chest of the black building block bear seemed to smile even more adorably and exaggeratedly.
Xie Zeyuan squatted next to the Transformer and shook his head upon hearing this: "Why bother? After capturing his soul, I have plenty of time to interrogate him."
As he spoke, he pulled out that messy ball of paper again.
Perhaps triggered by unpleasant memories, the rag doll's face darkened for a moment, then it channeled its spiritual power, and the paper soul-binding chain instantly materialized. The dark and eerie cold air followed the chain, enveloping the toy kingcopter on the ground, and soon pulled out a soul with a blank expression.
Xie Zeyuan didn't even glance at the other person. After tying the soul to the chain and putting it away again, he sat down on a stool to the side, as if it were none of his business.
[Here's a joke: Qin Fu'an was kind-hearted and soft-hearted.]
[Here's another joke: Politeness is harmless, but gratitude leads to harmony.]
[Where are the people who were just yelling that the streamer was being lenient and not killing the toys? Come on over, watch the streamer demonstrate the virtues of a civilized nation, bang bang bang!]
[Those two hammer blows made my eyelids twitch. I originally thought that as toys in this dungeon, their destructive power would be greatly reduced, but who knew the streamer could "operate" on himself? This is practically cheating!!]
[I've reported the humanoid bug for you, you're welcome.]
After the uninvited guest was dealt with, the surroundings quieted down again, with only the occasional clanging sounds coming from the ticket booth.
Qin Fu'an squatted next to the Transformers and had already started dismantling most of the other person's corpse into various parts.
He was also very methodical, breaking down the content while providing professional explanations for the bewildered comments:
"The metal structure of the wheels can be used as a skeletal frame, and the tires can be cut into excellent repair materials. As for these metals and various accessories, they have even greater uses."
[To be honest: Qin Fu'an was a diligent and thrifty household manager.]
[Agreed.]
[+1 in favor.]
[So this is what a married person looks like? They seem really good at managing a household!]
[The commenters are really entertaining! Having you guys is a blessing for the streamer. Love it!]
While Qin Fu'an was dissecting the corpse, Xie Zeyuan was playing with the paper chain beside him. A small, blank paper figure was hanging from the end of the chain. Xie Zeyuan sat on the stool and kneaded the paper figure in various ways. The scene looked exceptionally peaceful and serene.
"Xie San, catch." Qin Fu'an suddenly tossed something to him.
Xie Zeyuan subconsciously raised her hand, and her two soft, fluffy paws successfully caught a shiny object.
A system notification rang in my ears at just the right moment: "Congratulations, player, you have successfully obtained a mid-level toy heart. Keep up the good work!"
"Is this the Heart of Toys?" Xie Zeyuan examined the shiny sphere in his hand.
The sphere is not entirely shiny, nor is it perfectly round; this is probably why it is classified as intermediate.
After glancing at it twice, Xie Zeyuan casually placed the ball on the table and then reached out to touch his soft body.
Qin Fu'an took the toy heart out of the Transformer's chest cavity, and Xie Zeyuan was very curious whether he would also have such a thing in his chest cavity.
"Mr. Qin, as an excellent surgeon, could you dissect me, remove the toy heart, and then put it back in to bring me back to life?" Xie Zeyuan made a dangerous statement.
The blade, as thin as a cicada's wing, twirled nimbly between Qin Fu'an's fingers. He replied with a half-smile, "I'm curious too. How about we try it now?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the tightly closed door was knocked on again.
A somewhat familiar voice rang out gently:
"Have you seen a transforming car toy?"
[It's a sunflower! It's the voice of that sunflower!!!]
[Author's Note]
Yes! Our little cloud character appeared right at the start!!!
