Mini World Game Console-Chapter 784 - 785: Big Brother Ren, the Time for Judgment Has Arrived!

「A night had passed.」

Ren Suo woke up feeling refreshed. He sat up in bed and stretched, his bones making crisp cracking sounds as if his entire body, limbs and all, were awakening.

Perhaps it was because he had regained his emotional sensitivity, but Ren Suo had slept soundly that night without dreaming. This was noteworthy because he usually dreamed every night, even when in a state of Absolute Rationality, feeling as if he were exhaustingly working as a cement worker in each dream.

Although, as a Fourth-Stage Cultivator, Ren Suo's Physical Condition allowed him to recover immediately upon waking, the fatigue from his dreams was merely an illusion. Nevertheless, it greatly affected his quality of Sleep.

Having a good night's sleep, for once, felt even better than achieving the Sixth Transformation.

"Meow..."

The Black Cat sleeping by his pillow was woken up by Ren Suo's rather large movements. He gently stroked her fur, then picked her up, buried his face in her fur, and took a couple of deep, satisfying sniffs. The Black Cat lifted her chin, so Ren Suo scratched her there, causing her to squint her eyes in comfort.

Placing the Black Cat on his head, Ren Suo went to the bathroom to brush his teeth. He casually brushed the cat's teeth as well—surprisingly, the cat quite enjoyed it. He wondered if it was because the special toothbrush was particularly comfortable or because the cheese-flavored toothpaste tasted good...

He looked at the time: 10:45 AM. A bit early.

Ren Suo looked at the Pandora's Magic Box device in the living room and, after a moment's thought, decided to keep it.

He had actually considered returning the Pandora's Magic Box. After all, he wouldn't be using it to play the Mini-World Game Console anymore—Heaven knew what kind of trap the Mini-World Game Console would use this device to dig for him.

This time, Ren Suo had clearly recognized his needs: he didn't want that kind of immersive experience. For him, playing "Earth OL," a first-person, Hell-level immersive game, was immersive enough. Playing ordinary games was better suited to a God's perspective.

Since he wasn't planning to use the Pandora's Magic Box, should he keep this expensive toy, worth hundreds of thousands, just sitting there like a bad debt?

However, after careful consideration, Ren Suo felt that games like "Sword and Blade War Spirit" were quite fun, so he decided to keep the large toy.

Furthermore, as the first generation of virtual reality equipment, the Pandora's Magic Box had extremely high collectible value. This made it difficult for Ren Suo, an avid collector of game consoles, to bring himself to part with this Transcendent industrial Miracle that could be considered a work of art.

Ren Suo, holding the Black Cat, returned to his bedroom to turn on the computer and asked, "What shall we watch?"

"Me…me…" the Black Cat meowed in a tiny voice, naming a VTB's official account. Ren Suo glanced at it and saw it was currently live, so he and the Black Cat started watching together.

This was a VTB (Virtual Host) from Flourishing Sakura. Although Ren Suo understood Japanese, he couldn't quite appreciate the fun of it—he generally didn't care much for streamers.

His indifference wasn't due to any sense of superiority or prejudice; he simply felt that streamer programs often included long, boring segments, which he found to be a waste of time. If someone edited together the highlights, or if the show followed a script, Ren Suo would enjoy watching it.

However, the VTB the Black Cat liked was indeed a bit interesting. She chatted about trivial topics while playing games, and her voice was high-pitched but very friendly. Ren Suo watched for a while and found himself drawn in.

By 11:30 AM, Ren Suo, still holding the Black Cat, headed to Dong Chengling's home to freeload a meal. Dong Chengling wasn't home, so he used his Key to let himself in. Shortly after, Dong Chengling returned with Gu Yueyan and Lin Xianyu.

Dong Chengling and Gu Yueyan greeted Ren Suo, then went to the kitchen to start their culinary battle.

Lin Xianyu naturally came over to take the Black Cat for cuddles. The cat struggled for a moment before resigning itself, having grown quite familiar with Lin Xianyu over the past few days.

"Where are the snacks?" Lin Xianyu extended her hand in a begging gesture.

"What snacks?" Ren Suo blinked.

"You always have snacks for me every time you see me!"

"Didn't I give you 100 yuan for snacks yesterday?"

"That was for a side quest; this is a Daily quest." Lin Xianyu huffed disdainfully. "Big Brother Ren, you're a grown man, yet you're still so clueless. Do you even know who I am?"

Ren Suo blinked. "Who are you?"

"I'm the Class Monitor's best friend!" Lin Xianyu pointed at herself with her thumb. "The person the Class Monitor trusts most isn't you, it's me, Xianyu!"

"And?"

"If you don't suck up to me, I'll tell the Class Monitor bad things about you!"

Ren Suo uttered an "oh," then flicked his finger towards the kitchen door. A blast of Moonlight shot out, pushing open the slightly ajar door and flickering momentarily inside the kitchen.

Soon, Gu Yueyan, wearing an apron and seemingly glowing, came out and asked, "Did you need me for something?"

The "Wax and Wane" Bond Ability allowed Ren Suo to cast Moonlight Enchantments on others, draping them in the "Moonlight Garment." This garment had cool visual effects, though its defensive power was average. Moreover, the Spellcasters and the enchanted individuals would automatically develop a Moonlight connection, allowing them to sense each other and whisper, no matter how far apart.

Lin Xianyu blinked. "Nobody called for the Class Monitor, how did you..."

She closed her mouth. She noticed that, at this moment, the Class Monitor and Big Brother Ren were suddenly staring wide-eyed at each other. After a moment, the Class Monitor's face turned red all the way to her ears, and she spat lightly. Lin Xianyu remembered this expression well; the Class Monitor had the same reaction when she told her dirty jokes.

Gu Yueyan glanced at Lin Xianyu, her expression somewhat shy, her lips pursed tight. She suddenly stomped her foot hard, strode forward, bent down, and quickly gave Ren Suo a peck on the lips. Then, like a gust of wind, she rushed back to the kitchen.

Leaving Ren Suo and Lin Xianyu looking at each other in dismay. The Black Cat meowed twice, as if to say, 'I want one too.'

"You're ruthless," Lin Xianyu blurted out. Faced with Ren Suo's blatant display, she was indeed helpless.

Ren Suo flashed a Victory sign, chuckling. "Xianyu, it's time Big Brother Ren taught you a Truth about this society."

"What is it?"

"There are no permanent enemies, nor permanent friends, only permanent interests," Ren Suo leaned back against the sofa, shaking his head like a crime boss. "Xianyu, you're useless now!"

Just then, Ren Xingmei arrived. She sat down right next to Ren Suo, looking curiously at them. "What are you guys talking about? You don't even have your phones out."

Lin Xianyu had a sudden idea. Feigning indignation, she said, "Little Star, did you know? Your brother made a surprise visit to the Class Monitor last night!"

"Oh," Ren Xingmei nodded. "He made a surprise visit to me last night too."

Lin Xianyu continued, "And just now, he used some supernatural means to trick the Class Monitor into kissing him right in front of me, showing off their affection!"

Lin Xianyu shot Ren Suo a challenging look: I can't just tattle to the Class Monitor; I can tattle to everyone! It's your own fault for having so many girlfriends.

"Oh." Ren Xingmei nodded again, then turned her head… Ren Suo didn't dare move. Then Ren Xingmei asked, "Did he kiss her like this?"

"No, not..."

Then Lin Xianyu watched, wide-eyed, as the brother and sister put on another public display of affection! Lin Xianyu, who considered herself a self-proclaimed expert from browsing countless 'study materials,' actually felt her face flush and her heart race as she watched the scene unfold.

I know you're up to something lewd, and I have proof!

After a full minute, Ren Xingmei, still not quite satisfied, asked, "Was it this kind of kiss?"

"...Please, let me go, and let Big Brother Ren go too. Look, he's so nervous he doesn't dare move."

Ren Suo was indeed completely stiff because he saw two heads peeking out from the kitchen, both watching him with peculiar expressions.

Space itself seemed to vibrate, and the light appeared to distort.

Ren Xingmei also noticed this, but she didn't care at all. Instead, she intensified her efforts, hooking her arms around Ren Suo's neck and leaning into his embrace, humming, "I don't care what they think. I'll do whatever I want with my brother. Life's pleasures should be enjoyed to the fullest. A moment of a spring night is worth a thousand gold pieces; an inch of time is an inch of gold..."

It's hopeless.

Lin Xianyu completely gave up on threatening Ren Suo. These shameless people were too much; she couldn't get any advantage. The only way to defeat them and Big Brother Ren was to stoop to their level and then use my vast experience as a drama queen to beat them...

Wait, could this also be part of Big Brother Ren's scheme!?

He kept giving me snacks before to get closer. Now that his 'true nature' has improved, he's stopped. Is he trying to provoke me into questioning him? Is this the 'playing hard to get' stratagem from the actor's Thirty-Six Stratagems?

Luckily, this little genius saw through it! Targeting my weakness like that... As expected of Big Brother Ren, the one who practically radiates a scumbag aura!

But snacks were still essential. Lin Xianyu went to the fridge, took out a carton of ice cream, and sat down in the farthest corner to eat it. Ren Suo asked, "We've started the game, are you playing or not?"

Their pre-meal routine was for the three of them to team up for some games. If it were dinner, Little Jiu would join, making it a four-person team.

"I'm playing."

"Aren't you coming over to sit?"

"No, your smell is bothering me."

Ren Suo sniffed the back of his hand; it smelled of hand soap. He suspected Lin Xianyu was making a malicious personal Attack.

When it was almost time for dinner, Ren Suo looked at Dong Chengling, who returned a meaningful glance.

"Is Young Master Mu not coming?"

Dong Chengling sat down and said nonchalantly, "She's at work today."

"Didn't Young Master Mu plan to Teleport here for dinner?"

Dong Chengling picked up her bowl and sipped some seaweed and egg soup. "There are many good restaurants near the Tactical Bureau."

Ren Suo blinked. "Then, Young Master Mu—"

"Xiao Suo, I'm right here."

Ren Suo and the other girls turned their heads to see Qiao Muyi stepping into the living room from the balcony, bathed in the noon sunlight. She was still wearing her Tactical Bureau waistcoat, her long hair tied back in a practical ponytail, her fox-like eyes narrowed slightly, her face etched with an intimidating smile.

Ren Suo said in surprise, "I thought you weren't coming."

"I never said I wasn't coming. It's just that someone didn't want me to. Xiao Suo, don't be deceived by a certain little vixen."

Qiao Muyi suddenly made a grasping motion in the air towards Ren Suo. Unsuspecting, Ren Suo was suddenly buffeted forward by a wave of Spiritual Energy. Qiao Muyi extended her arms, wrapped one around his waist, and pulled him close, as if they were dancing a waltz with the roles reversed.

Dong Chengling put down her bowl and chopsticks, saying calmly, "I didn't say you weren't coming either. I just mentioned some possible reasons why you might not."

"I made so many calls and sent so many WeChat messages to you today."

"Sorry, I make it a rule to turn off all electronic devices during class to set an example."

"I activated this Spatial Coordinates necklace."

"Perhaps the necklace is running low on Spiritual Energy. I'll help you recharge it later."

"Alright, Cheng Ling, you always have an excuse." Qiao Muyi pushed Ren Suo away and stood at the dining table, asking, "Then why did you suddenly Teleport Ren Suo away last night?"

Dong Chengling raised an eyebrow. "What else? Wasn't a 15-minute meeting enough? He only talked with me for 5 minutes last night. The fact that I waited a full 15 minutes before bringing him back was already out of consideration for our friendship."

Gu Yueyan also looked at Qiao Muyi. "I got 8 minutes."

Ren Xingmei said indignantly, "I only got 1 minute!"

"What does that have to do with me? If you eat less at a buffet, would you blame other diners for having a big appetite?" Qiao Muyi wasn't fazed at all and continued, "Fine, let's not even talk about that. What happened after Ren Suo came back last night? With you all?"

Gu Yueyan looked at Dong Chengling. "Teacher Dong, was Mr. Suo with you for the rest of the night?"

Ren Xingmei also looked at Dong Chengling. "Teacher Dong, don't tell me you...?"

Dong Chengling remained calm. "Imagine whatever you want. Everything that should have happened, happened. Whatever you're thinking is correct."

"What!?"

"I lost out..."

"Cheng Ling, I'm giving you one more chance to choose your words carefully—"

Ren Suo whispered, "Um..."

"Shut up!" "Shut up!" "Shut up!" "Shut up!"

The four girls roared at him in unison, and Ren Suo immediately cowered.

Meanwhile, Lin Xianyu was holding a bowl piled high with food, almost like a rice bowl with toppings. She ate with gusto, occasionally feeding the Black Cat its cat food. Her eyes were fixed on the scene in the living room—a veritable volcanic eruption, a storm of thunder and fire, a spectacle to make gods and men tremble. It only whetted her appetite further; she ate with great relish and even felt like having another bowl!

Yes, fight! Fight!

Big Brother Ren, let me teach you a Truth too: however long your philandering ways, that's how long your downfall will be.

Retribution isn't missing; its time just hasn't arrived. Now, that time is here! The noon hour has struck—face your judgment!
