Mini World Game Console-Chapter 880 - 881: Endless Fun in the Mini World

In the bedroom, having changed his clothes, Ren Suo gazed at the handsome man in the mirror. After some thought, he still cast a hair-setting Spell on his hair—I could lose my head if it came down to a fight, but my hairstyle must remain intact.

In front of his children, he had to maintain his image as a good, Strict dad. He couldn't ruin his persona.

But the thought of the mothers explaining to the children that he had turned Aunt Lin Xianyu into Mother Lin Xianyu made Ren Suo feel like his status in the children's hearts was plummeting, and he had to quickly do some damage control.

But kids are kids. Except for Xiaotian, who might be a bit of trouble, the rest are quite easy to fool. No big issue there. The real threat to Ren Suo's image as a good father still lay in the upcoming interrogation.

Ren Suo sighed and lay on the bed—the custom-made, super-large bed he'd bought just a few days ago, capable of sleeping ten adults—to think of a strategy. This very bed was also the catalyst for all of tonight's events. It's all this bed's fault, leading me to unrighteousness! But sleeping on it was incredibly comfortable, even for just one person. You could roll around endlessly. Ren Suo could even boast, "I wake up every morning on a 40-square-meter bed," making him sound like some foolish, rich landlord.

However, to accommodate this large bed, Ren Suo had even removed the virtual reality equipment, "Pandora's Magic Box: Judgment Day," from his bedroom. And yet, the bed had certainly played its part. Thankfully, Ren Suo's bedroom was the largest in the villa; otherwise, just fitting the bed would have been a challenge.

Although it wasn't Ren Suo's original intention, everyone had agreed that the largest room in the villa should be his. This colossal villa was actually two smaller ones bought by Ren Xingmei and rebuilt into one. Everyone had their own independent room, and there were even ten spare rooms—enough to have five more children. Ren Suo was diligently working every night to ensure the villa's space wasn't wasted. Indeed, his Efforts were bearing fruit, as at least one room was now going to be occupied by Lin Xianyu.

The only issue was that, because the villa was so big, it was quite cumbersome to clean. However, for Ren Suo, this wasn't a problem—his Cloning Ability could now last 24 hours. As they say, distance tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's heart. Compared to Zhao Huo, that traitorous brat, his clone was Ren Suo's true brother-in-arms. Running at full capacity for 24 hours, Ren Suo didn't even need to hire a maid for the enormous villa; the clone could take care of it all. The kids also loved this hardworking, tireless, and playfully "beatable" and "rideable" beautiful girl clone. The clone was truly one of the Ren Family Members.

Maybe I should summon the clone to go downstairs and take the beating? Ren Suo considered it, then quickly dismissed the idea—mainly because the clone was already working as a waitress at the Mystic Tavern today to earn money, so it couldn't be summoned back to reality.

Besides, Ren Suo knew he had to face this himself. The children were all waiting, and he absolutely couldn't run away. Otherwise, if the mothers told the children, 'Dad ran away because he was too scared,' how could I educate my children in the future? That running away, though shameful, is very useful?

Ren Suo was pondering how he could escape this ordeal when he suddenly saw a photo frame on the bedside table. He blinked, rolled over to pick it up, and found it held a family photo from two years ago, which made him slightly lost in thought.

The photo was from the 100-day celebration for Hei Yin and Xi Yue. They were born in the same year, month, and day, but Xi Yue was born an hour earlier, making Hei Yin the younger sister and Xi Yue the older one. On a side note, these two little darlings had 'logged into Earth OL' right on their due dates, and they were even born on the very same day, month, and year. Based on these two facts, Ren Suo could naturally recall clearly the events that transpired between him, Gu Yueyan, and Luna Suo on that evening 280 days (40 gestational weeks) prior.

In the photo, the two little cuties were being held by Luna's Mother and Yue Yan's Mother, respectively. Luna was licking Hei Yin's hair while Gu Yueyan reached out to stop her, both their faces beaming with maternal Radiance. But it's better just to look at this scene. Compared to the babies, Luna much preferred the activity of 'making babies.' She was utterly unskilled in caring for children; after all, the way cats care for their young is very different from humans. Every time Luna held a child, she would lick Hei Yin until she cried.

Gu Yueyan was slightly better, but she was incredibly busy with work and also needed to focus on her Cultivation. If Ren Suo hadn't often sent Xi Yue to act spoiled with her mother, Gu Yueyan would have practically forgotten she even had a child.

Next to Gu Yueyan and Luna, Dong Chengling maintained her usual calm expression. The saying that one would remain unshaken even if Mount Tai were crumbling before them perfectly described people like her—and it was often such people who could achieve great things. Cheng Ling was undoubtedly a strong and capable woman. Although she wasn't very well-known currently, in the Mysterious Country… or rather, among all the Cultivators in the world, aside from Ren Zuo, Dong Chengling possessed the strongest Cultivation. The likes of You Jiu and Angel Zack were just second-tier trash in Ren Suo's eyes. You're weaker than my wife. I can tease my wife, which means I can tease you.

However, Cheng Ling wasn't always so calm; she would occasionally become shy. Even after being married for ten years, Ren Suo still had no resistance when faced with Dong Chengling blushing profusely, biting her lip, and looking downward. He would strive with unwavering Determination every night to see the cutest version of Cheng Ling.

Next to Dong Chengling was Qiao Muyi. She was smiling joyfully at the camera, her cheeks tinged with a blush, her lips curved upward, and a hint of charm flashing in her eyes, which was utterly captivating. One glance and Ren Suo remembered: at that time, Qiao Muyi had been away for several days dealing with a mysterious event in Lian Province. She had barely made it back in time for the 100-day celebration, still wearing her tactical vest. While she was off to take a bath and change her Clothing, she ran into Ren Suo in the hallway, and then… then they were both late to the 100-day celebration.

It's no wonder Ren Xingmei was giving Qiao Muyi a displeased look.

At that time, Ren Xingmei had also rushed back hurriedly from a business meeting, changing into a seasonally fashionable long dress to attend the 100-day celebration. Years had passed, and Ren Xingmei had truly become a wealthy CEO, a Rich Lady. The corporation she founded provided tens of thousands of jobs; her decisions affected the wages of tens of thousands of people. Naturally, she carried an aura of authority that commanded respect without anger, so much so that Ren Suo didn't even dare to impulsively kiss her. On certain special occasions, when Ren Xingmei wanted Ren Suo to call her "Elder Sister," Ren Suo would obediently comply.

In the center of the photo was Ren Suo, crouching down and embracing three children. After all, with new members in the family, to prevent the older siblings from feeling neglected, Ren Suo had them stand in the center C-position for the photo, to show that Dad would love them even more.

Three-year-old Little Wuxia was very clingy to his dad, hugging Ren Suo sideways, not even looking at the camera, his face full of smiles as he pouted and kissed Ren Suo's cheek.

Four-year-old Xiaotian was looking straight at the camera, hands resting neatly on his thighs, his back straight, his eyes bright, a perfectly composed, almost business-like smile on his face. This made Ren Suo secretly shake his head. This won't do. So serious at such a young age. It seems I can't let him play those intellectual-emotional games anymore. Maybe it's time for something more bloody and violent…

Two-year-old Star Time was holding onto Xiaotian's sleeve, hiding behind him and peering at the camera, seemingly shy. Fairly speaking, Xiaotian was doing quite well as an older brother; his younger sister Star Time was very attached to him, indicating a good sibling relationship.

Little Jiu and Lin Xianyu stood at the very edge, neither looking at the camera, but thoughtfully watching the children in Luna's and Gu Yueyan's arms. Let's not even talk about Little Jiu; back then, Ren Suo and Little Jiu's relationship was still completely innocent. But Lin Xianyu… perhaps she was a little envious?

But Lin Xianyu would only let others see her superficial Emotions; her true feelings were deeply hidden. Even Ren Suo had to rely on "Desire Resonance" to catch a glimpse of them. She was very timid in this respect, as if even touching happiness might prick her. Of course, she might also feel that Ren Suo was a pit of fire, and getting too close would result in burns…

Ren Suo stared at the family photo for a few minutes, lost in thought, when the Ring of Tomorrow on his left ring finger suddenly glowed, and a message flowed into his mind: "Dear, aren't you coming down yet? The kids are about to go to sleep."

Ren Suo took a deep breath, his eyes showing Determination.

Ren Suo, what are you afraid of? Ren Suo, what are you hesitating about? It's just adding one more. Haven't you done this plenty of times? Isn't it just about making the people who love you happy? You've successfully done that five times in a row. You should have plenty of experience!

Ren Suo left the bedroom and walked down to the living room. Gu Yueyan, standing at the foot of the stairs, snorted, "You've been up there for so long, Mr. Suo. Have you thought of your reasons and excuses yet? …Hmm?!"

Ren Suo first took out a tissue to wipe his mouth, then immediately embraced Gu Yueyan's slender waist and kissed her assertively. Gu Yueyan was taken aback for a moment, her pretty face quickly flushing red. She allowed Ren Suo three seconds of sweetness before pushing him away, saying embarrassedly, "The children are watching… Don't think this means I'll forgive you…"

Actually, Xiaotian, Wuxia, Star Time, Xi Yue, and Hei Yin were all busy picking out dolls gifted by their new Mother Lin Xianyu and weren't paying any attention to them—the children had seen plenty of affectionate displays between their father and mothers.

"Yueyan," Ren Suo said, holding Gu Yueyan close and whispering in her ear, "I know you're very sad and angry. Xianyu is your best friend, and I am the person you love most. We betrayed you. But please believe me, Xianyu has always been your good friend. From ten years ago when she hid her new clothes and wholeheartedly schemed for you, she never intended to hurt you. It's my fault."

"It's my handsome face that caused this mess. Perhaps this is the Destiny of a good man…"

Gu Yueyan pinched the soft flesh on Ren Suo's waist and whispered, "Stop flattering yourself; the children are watching."

Ren Suo smiled faintly and said softly, "But the Bond we've shared for ten years, the feelings from those ten years—I can't betray them, nor can I give them up."

"Should seeds that haven't bloomed be buried in the soil forever? If they are fortunate enough to encounter spring, shouldn't they at least be given a chance to sprout?"

Gu Yueyan listened, slightly stunned, her feelings complicated. In a daze, she seemed to recall that night ten years ago when she returned from The Dark Side of the Moon and had a showdown with Dong Chengling and Qiao Muyi.

Honestly, it would be false to say Gu Yueyan couldn't guess what was happening between Ren Suo and Lin Xianyu. It was just that Lin Xianyu was Gu Yueyan's closest friend, even closer than Ren Suo was to her, and Ren Suo was the fated adversary of her life. Thus, Gu Yueyan didn't know what to do.

Actually, Gu Yueyan wasn't overly angry tonight; rather, she felt a sense of relief, as if thinking, It finally happened. She wished for Lin Xianyu's happiness more than anyone. However, her current situation was like an old joke:

"If you knew an incredibly handsome and wonderful man, would you introduce him to Lin Xianyu to make her happy?"

"Yes!"

"Now, what if this incredibly handsome and wonderful man is Ren Suo? Would you still be willing?"

"No!"

"Why?"

"Because I actually have a Ren Suo!"

Gu Yueyan sighed deeply and said, "You scumbag."

"I had no choice before. Today, I want to be a scumbag. Give me a chance, okay?" Ren Suo pecked Gu Yueyan's cheek. "Thank you."

Ren Suo saw Ren Xingmei sitting on the sofa watching them. He walked behind the sofa, wrapped his arms around his sister's neck, leaned close to her ear, took a deep breath to fortify his resolve, and then whispered, "Sis… Sister…"

Ren Xingmei leisurely replied, "Hmm? What did you say?"

"Sister, this time, could you possibly…"

"Louder, I can't hear you."

"Sister!" Ren Suo choked out the address humiliatingly, his voice loud enough that even the children looked over curiously. Dad's up to his usual antics again.

"Sister, this time I want to be willful. Can you forgive me?"

Ren Xingmei raised an eyebrow slightly. "But just one 'Sister' isn't enough, you know."

Ren Suo asked, "How long do you want?"

"Let's start with 99 years?" Ren Xingmei tossed out a nationally significant timeframe as casually as a victorious nation forcing a defeated one to sign a colonial treaty.

Ren Suo grimaced. "Does time in the Imaginary Space count?"

"It counts."

"Then… it's a deal! Sister, save this child!"

Ren Xingmei, thoroughly pleased, pecked Ren Suo's cheek and smiled. "Such a willful little brother. But who can blame your elder sister for spoiling you so much? Good boy~"

Ren Suo breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, Qiao Muyi laughed and said, "Not bad, Xiao Suo. Planning to win us over one by one, right in front of our faces?"

Ren Suo huffed, "You're next, Young Master Mu! Just you wait!"

Qiao Muyi paused for a moment, then chuckled. "Well then, I'll be waiting with bated breath."

Ren Suo turned his head and meowed. Luna, who was picking out dolls with the children, instantly pounced over and hugged him. "Suosuo, what is it?"

Ren Suo said, "Lin Xianyu can play with you too from now on. Isn't that great?"

Luna nodded vigorously. "Great!"

Ren Suo blinked, then suddenly lowered his voice. "Luna, what if next time I suggest we all play together at night? Think that's a good idea?"

Luna shook her head repeatedly. "Not good."

Ren Suo was stunned. "Why?"

Just my luck. Even Luna, the easiest one to persuade, disagrees. Looks like there's no chance at all.

Luna said, "A night is only about six hours. Now there are seven of us. On average, Suosuo, you can only play with me for one hour. That's too little! Luna wants to play for at least three hours! Unless…"

Ren Suo's spirits lifted. "Unless what?"

Luna wriggled, rubbed her cheek against Ren Suo's, and whispered in his ear, "Unless the time is extended to 18 hours! Then Luna can play for three hours!"

Ren Suo said, "…I'm fine with that, but they probably wouldn't agree…"

Having 'conquered' Gu Yueyan, Ren Xingmei, and Luna one by one, Ren Suo was now poised to face two truly formidable bosses: Qiao Muyi and Dong Chengling!

Qiao Muyi, legs crossed, watched him, her voice full of laughter. "Come on, I've been waiting for a long time, Xiao Suo. How do you plan to conquer me? The thought alone is thrilling."

Ren Suo's eyes gleamed; a series of successful 'conquests' had brought his confidence to its peak. He lifted his head, strode forward, and then—

Ren Suo stepped forward, embraced Qiao Muyi, and whispered, "Name your price. I'll accept any punishment."

Qiao Muyi seemed not at all surprised. She playfully reached out and pinched Ren Suo's cheek, asking with a smile, "Any punishment?"

Ren Suo shivered and nodded with a pained expression.

Qiao Muyi took out her phone, opened the calendar, and showed it to Ren Suo. "I'm on vacation from the 21st to the 25th of next month."

Ren Suo nodded gravely. "I understand."

"No, you don't understand," Qiao Muyi said, pulling him closer by the neck and whispering in his ear, "I need you to equip 'Unlimited Energy.'"

Ren Suo gasped. "No, surely it won't come to that…"

"I've learned a few interesting new Spells recently," Qiao Muyi's soft lips uttered a demonic whisper. "I'd like to discuss the uses of these Spells with you. It might be quite demanding in terms of Physical Strength, though…"

There are no useless Spells, only incapable Cultivators. For a Cultivator like Qiao Muyi, with her vast imagination and formidable Ability, her Understanding and application of Spells permeated every aspect of life. Ren Suo was one such… beneficiary.

Ren Suo could only nod grimly in agreement.

Finally, it was Dong Chengling. Ren Suo sat obediently beside her. Dong Chengling reached out and straightened his collar, as calm as if nothing had happened.

"Cheng Ling, I was wrong," Ren Suo said honestly.

"Mm."

Ren Suo continued, "I want to continue being wrong."

Dong Chengling thought for a moment, then asked, "Will there be a next time?"

Ren Suo replied truthfully, "I don't know."

Dong Chengling opened her arms. "Hug."

Ren Suo metaphorically died on the spot, leaving only a shell filled with love, as he tenderly embraced Cheng Ling.

Dong Chengling suddenly said, "Do you remember what excuse you used to strike up a conversation with me?"

Ren Suo replied, "…Inviting you to dinner?"

"Perhaps I shouldn't have accepted that meal from you back then," Dong Chengling said softly. "Now look, by eating your food, I've put myself in your debt."

Ren Suo hugged her tighter. "You ate a lot back then, and you still do. You're super cute."

Dong Chengling said, "Xianyu is a good child. She's my student, so naturally, I want her to be happy. She's very important to you, both in your career and spiritually, and you are indispensable to her, just as you are to us… I can understand."

Ren Suo's face was filled with grateful joy. "Understanding triumphs! Thank you, Cheng Ling!"

"But I haven't forgiven you just like that," Dong Chengling stated. "You must make compensation."

Ren Suo immediately declared his willingness. "What compensation? Whatever it is, I'll do it! Even if I can't, I'll get the Fairy Palace World Tree to help!"

"Take good care of the children," Dong Chengling said, resting against Ren Suo's chest. "I want your punishment, as the Supreme Supreme, to be this: 'to accompany the children wholeheartedly as they grow up.' This will be the cruelest punishment for you.

"And… by 'raising outstanding children,' you will provide the greatest compensation to us, your wives."

Ren Suo said earnestly, "As the Supreme Supreme, I obey the supreme decrees from the void and will strive for the growth of the children of our nation all my life, unwaveringly."

Having finally obtained permission from his five wives, Ren Suo heaved a heavy sigh of relief and turned to look at Lin Xianyu, who was cracking open macadamia nuts and eating them. Lin Xianyu blinked, sensing it was her turn. She clapped her hands, stood up, and quickly popped the freshly shelled macadamia nut into her mouth, as if afraid Ren Suo would ask her for it.

Ren Suo couldn't help but smile looking at her. He glanced down at the Ring of Tomorrow on his ring finger, silently activated its effect, and a small red box suddenly appeared in his hand. He knelt on one knee, presented the small red box to Lin Xianyu, and said, "Xianyu, you…"

"AH—" Ren Xingmei couldn't help but wail. "Brother, ten years have passed, how are you still like this?"

Gu Yueyan sneered, "He's improved this time. At least he's only proposing to one person."

Qiao Muyi was also beaming, almost laughing to tears. "Proposing to Little Liu in front of his wives and children. That's our Xiao Suo, alright~"

Dong Chengling was rather speechless. "We've all agreed, dear. You could have given Xianyu a more romantic proposal."

Luna asked, "Xianyu, do you want it? If not, you can give it to me~"

Lin Xianyu also chuckled. She looked at Ren Suo and said with a smile, "Stand up. The children might think I'm bullying you."

Xiaotian glanced at them and shook his head. Dad getting bullied by Mom is a common occurrence. We're used to it.

Ren Suo paused, slightly embarrassed, and stood up. "I just thought the timing tonight was perfect, and everyone's here, so…"

"So you just directly asked me to marry you?" Lin Xianyu smiled sweetly. "Sigh, that's why I say, Big Brother Ren, you can be so dense sometimes…"

Ren Suo smiled awkwardly. "Well… should we pick another day?"

"No need." Lin Xianyu took the small red box from Ren Suo's hand, slipped the Ring of Tomorrow onto her left ring finger, and smiled. "I always used to say I'd probably get married when pigs fly…"

"Perhaps today is one of those days when pigs fly."

Ren Suo reached out and embraced Lin Xianyu, sealing the proposal with a kiss. Xiaotian gently shook Star Time, who was almost asleep, pointed at Lin Xianyu, and said to his younger sisters, "New mom."

"Oh~" the sisters responded in sleepy, childish voices. Star Time yawned and snuggled into a large doll, drifting back to sleep. Wuxia pouted, looking at his dad and the new mom. Xi Yue and Hei Yin were squabbling over ownership of a cat doll.

A happy, Reunion ending. Everything was so beautiful.

Until a melodious, yet deeply plaintive voice, sounded out: "What about me?"

Ren Suo's body stiffened. Only then did he notice Little Jiu sitting in the corner, her beautiful eyes fixed on him, filled with resentment. Ren Suo's mind blanked for a moment. "Little Jiu, shouldn't you be in the middle of your university exam week? How come…?"

Little Jiu was now a first-year university student and a hugely popular young singer. She was usually busy with commitments outside and rarely came home.

Qiao Muyi giggled. "Xiao Suo, what happened on September 21st last year? Hmm, not at night—I know everything that happened at night… I mean during the day."

Ren Suo blinked, suddenly deflated. He said pitifully, "Young Master Mu… don't tell me you already knew…"

Dong Chengling said calmly, "There are only so many places you could run off to. I found Little Jiu and told her, 'Suo betrayed me.' Then Little Jiu said in surprise, 'You knew about us?'" Dong Chengling's gaze turned sharp. "So I brought her back too."

So, Little Jiu confessed just because Cheng Ling scared her a little? Is this the Little Nine-Tailed Fox I know? Ren Suo blinked again. He noticed that although Little Jiu was sitting cautiously beside Dong Chengling, she shot him a sly glance and even gave a mischievous wink.

She did it on purpose!

Well, if it's already 'plus one,' then 'plus two' doesn't seem like a huge difference. Ren Suo steeled himself and said, "Then…"

Gu Yueyan interjected coldly, "What? You just proposed once. Are you going to propose again now?"

Ren Xingmei giggled. "My cute little brother, do you think a hundred years is a bit short? Want to increase it to two hundred?"

Qiao Muyi let out a couple of "Wow!"s, egging him on. "All the female creatures who accompanied you on your honeymoon, including the fox and the cat—you managed to capture every single one of them. You truly are my Xiao Suo~"

Dong Chengling's tone was slightly cold. "Darling, I think of Little Jiu as my younger sister, my daughter. Of course, I want her to be happy, but…"

Luna chimed in, "Luna agrees! Luna likes playing with Little Jiu!"

Lin Xianyu hooked her arm around Ren Suo's neck and smiled. "Your schedule is packed seven days a week, and you have to spend time with the children during the day. Do you even have time to play games?"

Little Jiu suddenly pounced. In mid-air, she transformed into her Nine-Tailed Fox form. Nine large, white tails, tipped with fire, danced in the living room, pushing Lin Xianyu aside and completely enveloping Ren Suo. She cooed in a charming, melodious voice, "I don't care! If Xianyu can have a Ring, Little Jiu wants one too!"

Little Jiu immediately used her Innate Divine Ability. Ren Suo, his heart in turmoil, almost complied on the spot. However, he quickly came to his senses and said loudly, "But Little Jiu isn't of age yet!"

Little Jiu retorted defiantly, "Sister Yue Yan and Little Star weren't of age back then either! Big Brother, you still proposed to them! I just want the Ring. Little Jiu can wait for the wedding!"

Qiao Muyi groaned languidly. "Ah, now even Little Jiu has a Ring. I suppose the day Karen marries into the family isn't too far off."

Gu Yueyan instantly erupted. "What?! Mr. Suo, what's this about Karen?!"

Ren Xingmei propped her chin on her hand, watching the farce with an amused smile, humming softly, "300 years~ 400 years~ unchanging for ten thousand years~"

Luna's face lit up. Hugging a Luo Xiaohai doll, she laughed. "Wow, Suosuo even charmed Karen? Great, great! Luna super~ likes Karen!"

Ren Suo's mouth twitched. Charmed? Luna, is that how you've always seen me?!

Dong Chengling said calmly, "Darling, I can't understand everything, you know."

Lin Xianyu sighed, having moved to the side. "Seven days a week isn't enough to divide him. Big Brother Ren turns out to be an eight-timer… But I've already worn his Ring. There's no turning back now."

After Little Jiu's sustained efforts, Ren Suo, half-resisting, half-complying, produced another Ring of Tomorrow and personally put it on Little Jiu's finger. Then he immediately protested loudly, "I'm completely innocent with Karen! We just chat online occasionally, and there are tens of thousands of miles between us! You have to believe me!"

Qiao Muyi smiled. "You were 'completely innocent' with Little Jiu and Lin Xianyu before too."

Ren Xingmei glanced around the villa. "Is the villa still not big enough?"

Gu Yueyan said coldly, "You scumbag. Not a single punctuation mark of what you say can be trusted."

Dong Chengling pointed out the flaw in Ren Suo's words. "Darling, don't forget you also master Space Spells that can traverse tens of thousands of miles in an instant."

Luna cheered, "Karen! Karen! I want Karen!"

Lin Xianyu fell into thought. With Karen, that human-shaped Cultivation-assistance device, around, couldn't I quickly catch up to Dong Chengling and Qiao Muyi's realms? From then on, my Destiny would be in my own hands, not dictated by heaven!

Little Jiu was blissfully admiring her Ring of Tomorrow. Seeing this, Xiaotian said to his younger sisters, "Auntie Little Jiu has also become a new mom. Maybe there will be even more new moms."

The accusations from his wives, the misunderstandings from his children, all these miscellaneous matters exploded in Ren Suo's mind, causing him to subconsciously resort to his universal solution—

"It's already July 1st! The free game updates today!" Ren Suo pulled out the Hell 4 Game Controller he had used for over ten years from the drawer under the TV. Lying back on the beanbag chair, he said, "Games are the most important thing. Let me see what this month's free game is—"

Gu Yueyan was furious. "Mr. Suo, you're avoiding the issue again! Tell us, what exactly is going on with Karen!"

Ren Xingmei smiled. "Brother, you always use this trick to buy time."

Qiao Muyi continued to stir the pot. "Maybe this month's new game will have Xiao Suo and Karen going on a 'Double Lodging, Double Flying' adventure."

Luna raised her hand. "Luna wants to go too! Luna wants to play with Karen too!"

Dong Chengling's tone was calm. "Darling, do not betray my Trust."

Lin Xianyu said, "I'm busy with the new story chapter of Final Fantasy this month. If it's a Ten-Star Game, you'll have to play it yourself."

Little Jiu cooed, "Big Brother~ Do you want to sleep hugging Little Jiu's tail tonight~?"

Xi Yue and Hei Yin wobbled over to Ren Suo, curiously staring at the screen. Wuxia snuggled into Ren Suo's lap. Xiaotian, holding Star Time's hand, sat beside Ren Suo and asked, "Dad, are you going to play a game?"

"Yeah."

Touching the familiar controller, Ren Suo felt all his troubles dissipate. His life had become inseparable from gaming. Games had witnessed his ordinary moments, his glory, his love, his life.

Eleven years had passed since he obtained the Mini-World Game Console. Was acquiring it ultimately good or bad for him? Although he had secretly become the world's behind-the-scenes master, the Supreme Supreme commanding the Fairy Palace World Tree, he was also caught in a whirlwind of love, toiling daily for his wives and children. It was a mixed blessing, perhaps.

Ren Suo was slightly lost in thought. Just then, the screen lit up, displaying the familiar startup interface. It was as if he had returned to that hot morning eleven years ago, the first time he turned on the Mini-World Game Console.

But it was different from back then. Back then, the screen only reflected Ren Suo, alone.

Now, the screen reflected everything Ren Suo cherished.

A faint smile touched Ren Suo's lips. As the melody began to play, he couldn't help but join the Mini-World Game Console in saying the words that were practically engraved in his soul—

"Mini World, endless fun."

…

The end, July 6, 2019, Hearing Sun.
