Mini World Game Console-Chapter 654 - 655: Life-Saving Gear with Some Added Plugins [Second Update]

Seeing Qiao Muyi's adorable expression, Ren Suo completely relaxed. He lay limply on the bed, and after a good while, prepared to continue playing "Light and Dark Traitor."

MEOW~

Ren Suo looked at the black cat, remembered something, and went to knock on Ren Xingmei's door. He got straight to the point, asking, "Lend me a set of clothes."

Ren Xingmei didn't seem very surprised. "You're taller than me. My clothes won't fit you."

"Why are you so sure I want to wear women's clothes?" Ren Suo asked, looking downcast. Truthfully, he couldn't think of a suitable excuse right then. "I have other uses for it," he added.

Ren Xingmei looked at Ren Suo skeptically, her gaze slowly becoming weirder. "…Do you want the ones I've worn?"

Ren Suo knew perfectly well what his sister was implying. He tapped her on the head and said irritably, "No need. Just give me a set of old clothes you don't wear anymore. I have some ideas for my spells, and I need someone else's old clothes to experiment with."

"You're going to use my clothes to cast spells, huh… A full set, including underwear?"

"Not including underwear! Just a shirt and pants are fine!"

Then Ren Suo took a pair of jeans and a shirt back to his bedroom. He was met with such dazzling scenery that he had to forcefully turn his head away. He promptly offered the clothes and said quietly, "Hurry up and put them on!"

"Sigh, I have to put on clothes again…" Luna complained.

My own clothes are just one size too big; Luna would probably find even the pants loose and baggy. Luckily, I have a sister at home with a figure similar to Luna's—her clothes should be barely manageable…

"All dressed!"

Definitely not manageable.

Ren Suo turned around, and his gaze was immediately captured by the plump Pikachu printed on the shirt. This was a piece his sister had worn before, a white shirt with a cute Pikachu. But now, worn by Luna, Pikachu's cheeks were noticeably puffed up, so adorably chubby it made one really want to squeeze them…

"These clothes are tight," Luna said, twisting her body. Ren Suo wasn't sure if those jeans were a slim fit, but they certainly outlined Luna's curves perfectly.

I'll have to buy some myself… But now that I have my sister's clothes for comparison, I know what kind of clothes to get for Luna.

However, Luna somehow wore this set of casual clothes with such a stunning effect that, after much thought, Ren Suo decided to let her make do with a sweater and pajama pants for now. He returned the clothes to his sister.

"That fast?" Ren Xingmei exclaimed.

"Yeah." Ren Suo looked at his sister and said with awe, "Sister, you really save on fabric."

Ren Xingmei frowned slightly. How has Older Brother's personality gotten so bad? He must have been influenced by some bad woman…

"Why don't I go with you to buy a few clothes tomorrow!" Ren Suo suggested. "I'm not sure if the stores are still open…"

"There are definitely stores open on the pedestrian street! They even have New Year discounts!" Ren Xingmei promptly replied.

Even if he's been influenced by a bad woman, luckily I'm here! Older Brother is still a gentle, good boy at heart!

Ren Suo genuinely didn't know where to buy women's clothes. He couldn't order online (courier services had stopped for the Spring Festival), and he didn't dare to go buy women's clothes by himself. It would be much easier to go with his sister the following day.

Luna was already lying on the bed, obediently watching her tablet. Ren Suo glanced over and discovered she was watching a live stream—not of a real person, but one with virtual avatars. They looked very cute and adorable, and were speaking Japanese. Luna watched, giggling foolishly.

Naturally, Luna was once again clinging to Ren Suo, as if wanting him to understand the truth that 'the one who pets a cat ends up being petted.' But this time Ren Suo could play games on his phone, so he didn't mind. He lay comfortably in Luna's arms, ready to play...

"Let me tear through half a mile of this evening's universe..."

Just as Ren Suo tapped on the screen, a call came through. With a sleek swipe, he answered.

Ren Suo instantly turned off the tablet and made a shushing gesture towards Luna. He looked at the caller ID and said cautiously, "Cheng Ling, good evening."

He wanted to sit up and go outside to take the call, but at that moment, Luna's arms, as tender as white lotus roots, burst with incredible strength, hugging Ren Suo tightly and not letting him leave!

Ren Suo looked at Luna with pleading eyes, but she kept her lips sealed, her face full of determination; she clung to him like someone cuddling a giant ice cream and absolutely refused to let go.

Ren Suo couldn't talk to Luna at this point, so he had no choice but to lie resignedly in her arms and take the call.

"I'm just asking when you plan to come over for the New Year visits, so I can arrange my schedule," Dong Chengling explained. "It wouldn't be good to have you over at the same time as other relatives."

Ren Suo, pillowed against her soft chest, replied, his voice trembling, "Uh… probably on the second or third day. I'll ask my parents for specifics tomorrow."

As if thinking she wasn't binding him enough, or perhaps just for fun, Luna wound her legs around Ren Suo's waist and rocked him back and forth, making his voice tremble with an alluring quaver.

"What's wrong?" Dong Chengling asked curiously.

Ren Suo took a deep breath, his voice mournful. "Cheng Ling, I'm sorry."

I thought my standards couldn't get any lower, but there's apparently still room to sink further—this business of calling Dong Chengling while wrapped in Luna's arms... I'm too young to handle this kind of thing.

If I was willing to accept a beating from Qiao Muyi earlier, then being obliterated by spatial annihilation right now would seem perfectly reasonable.

Dong Chengling fell silent for a moment, then said, "Mr. Gu called me."

Ren Suo was startled. He immediately realized that since Gu Wenyi had contacted Qiao Muyi to inquire about his character, he would naturally do the same with Dong Chengling. After all, she was a colleague familiar with both him and Gu Yueyan.

"I told him the truth about you," Dong Chengling said.

"Right."

"Aren't you worried that I told him about Xiao Qiao too?"

"…I'm not worried."

For no particular reason, Ren Suo simply trusted his instincts, subconsciously believing that Dong Chengling would stand on the same side as him.

"Hmm, I won't let the matters between me, you, Yueyan, and Xiao Qiao be influenced by outsiders. Nor do I want to use external factors to add to everyone's troubles," Dong Chengling said. "But delay is only temporary, Suo. You have to understand this."

I know I can't keep this secret for long, but if I can just make it to next semester, I'll at least have one semester to figure things out. "I understand. Thanks for your trouble."

"It's not too much trouble, I just feel a bit uncomfortable," Dong Chengling said. "But seeing as you apologized proactively, I do feel a bit better."

Ren Suo blinked, his face flushed red. He bit his lower lip, unable to utter a word.

"I'm going to sleep now. Good night."

"Wait a second." At this moment, Ren Suo's eyes gleamed fiercely. His body suddenly teleported to the door, breaking free from Luna's embrace—he almost forgot that his 'Within Reach, Yet Worlds Apart' ability had cooled down and could be used normally again.

"Hmm?"

Now Ren Suo could finally calm down. He took a deep breath and said, "Do your parents have any preferences? Should I bring some tobacco and alcohol when I visit?"

"No need..."

"I know we don't need these things to bond, but your parents probably hope you associate with friends who understand etiquette, right?"

"Then buy some fruits and snacks that can be stored for a long time," Dong Chengling said. "Don't get too much; there's no room at home."

"Okay. Then..." Ren Suo pondered for a moment with a constipated look on his face, then suddenly sped up his speech, saying, "Love you, good night."

Then Ren Suo immediately ended the call and threw his phone aside, glaring furiously at Luna, who quickly feigned ignorance and started watching her livestream.

"Don't ever do that again!"

"If I continue to do this, will Suosuo hate me?"

"No."

"Oh..."

"But you won't get any ice cream cake."

"There will absolutely not be a next time!"

Having finally quelled the cocky Luna, Ren Suo took the opportunity to free himself from her entanglement and sat down at the computer to continue playing 'Light and Dark Traitor'.

Just then, Ren Suo suddenly felt a warm energy emanating from his neck.

He looked down and saw the Spiritual Energy Coordinate Necklace glowing with a pink light, emitting a pleasant, heartwarming warmth.

Is this Cheng Ling's response? But…

Ren Suo stared dumbfounded at the necklace, wondering how Cheng Ling could still pinpoint his location accurately even though he hadn't activated the Spirit Energy Coordinates.

And Cheng Ling can cast spells from thousands of miles away using the Spirit Energy Coordinates?

Even if it's just a tiny glimmer of light, a little bit of warmth, that's still her casting a spell!

Cheng Ling's abilities are improving at divine speed!

Doesn't this mean that as long as Cheng Ling wants to, she can use the Spirit Energy Coordinates to 'lock' onto me without any warning and then just take me away?

Although that was what he thought, Ren Suo still put on the necklace diligently. Still, it's a life-saving prop. Even if it has some functionally tricky plugins, I have to keep using it.

He launched 'Light and Dark Traitor' and saw the familiar, miserable Uncle Los, which filled Ren Suo with a sense of affinity.

Hah, unlike me with my heap of problems, Uncle Los's only goal is to kill Sony. Such simple happiness.

He had played to the point where Uncle Los arrived in the Inner World of Dark Descending. After wandering around, Los naturally only had one action option left: 'Meet the Dragon Priest.' 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

When Uncle Los stepped into the temple beneath the Difference Engine, he saw nine cloaked figures wearing bizarre masks waiting for him.

Los immediately asked, "Do you have a way for me to kill Sony and save Lorifes?"

"We do," said the man wearing the golden-fanged mask. "What you wish to protect, whom you wish to slay—it will all be as you desire."

"Furthermore, Young Lord Xides, Sony the Great, Star Star Star Great Magistrate... these people are the ones we plan to deal with."

Los asked, "Who are you? Why do you want to help me?"

"I am the head of the Dragon Priests, the Inheritor of the Dragon Worship Cult, Kerinake," the Dragon Priest Kerinake said. "The reason we want to help you is that you very well might be our hope. Wear this."

Kerinake handed Los a wooden mask. Los asked, "What is this?"

Kerinake said, "It is the most mysterious Dragon Sacrificial Mask, 'Mirac.' It will guide your path. As long as you keep your wish in mind, it will tell you what to do."

Two options appeared: "Wear the mask" or "I want to decide my own destiny."

Ren Suo blinked and naturally chose the former. Why wouldn't I take a mission hint? Am I an idiot?

After Los put on the mask, a series of bizarre visions appeared before his eyes. Sony appeared frequently, seemingly in battle, accompanied by loud booms.

Kerinake asked, "What do you see?"

Los said, "Tomorrow, Sony will reach Snowy City and face an assassination. But he has a life-saving prop that will allow him to escape."

Kerinake asked, "What will you do?"

Los declared, "I will join the assassination team and, at the first sign of battle, destroy Sony's life-saving prop! I'll make! Him! DIE!"
