Arc 6 – Slag that Little Wolfhound
Chapter 154

Even with Chi Zhao’s promise, Wen Yu was still insecure. He still insisted on keeping an eye on Chi Zhao.

Chi Zhao wasn’t in a hurry. Since he was ill, he would still need to slowly be treated and what’s more, this was not a physical illness but a mental one.

Chi Zhao had been extremely accommodating to Wen Yu. As long as he saw that something would make Wen Yu unhappy, he wouldn’t do it again. Even when bidding goodbye to the Wen children, he didn’t make Wen Yu leave and let him listen to their entire conversation.

It already wasn’t an easy feat for Wen Xijun to wake up, so the others didn’t dare ask for too much. From Wen Xijun’s behaviour, the others could see very clearly that Wen Yu’s feelings weren’t one-sided and that Wen Xijun had already acquiesced their relationship.

Everyone was already shocked half a year ago so when they saw them get along so intimately now, except for feeling a little uncomfortable at first, they were able to gradually get used to it. This was also the case for Wen Hu.

The biggest headache for Chi Zhao was Wen Hu. After all, this person didn’t like the play his cards normally and would often do something outside of his expectations but when he met Wen Hu this time, Wen Hu didn’t do anything and just obediently said ‘father take care’ after Chi Zhao was done talking.

Chi Zhao didn’t understand. Wen Hu also didn’t explain.

Leaving the Song residence, Wen Hu glanced back at the door of the Song residence before getting into the car.

He indeed liked Wen Xijun.

But to him, love was just a spice in life, not a necessity.

He wasn’t like Wen Yu who regarded Wen Xijun as his life and he also wasn’t someone who liked to intervene in other people’s relationships.

Others thought that Wen Xijun had developed a different kind of feeling towards Wen Yu after this accident but only Wen Hu knew that as early as three years ago when Wen Xijun asked Wen Yu to leave, he had already held feelings that was more what a normal father would feel towards their son.

Despite not seeing him for three years, Wen Xijun’s feelings hadn’t changed and he had even blocked a fatal injury for Wen Hu when he saw him again. Many thought Wen Yu had fallen into a big pit. With Wen Xijun’s personality, it certainly wouldn’t be long before he throws Wen Yu aside like the others, but Wen Hu felt that Wen Xijun would probably disappoint them this time.

Wen Xijun was no longer the old Wen Xijun. Wen Yu was also no longer the old Wen Yu. There was no room for others to intervene between them.

……..

After settling everything here, Chi Zhao really followed Wen Yu to a place no one knew about.

Occasionally, Wen Yu would deal with some affairs for the Song Family, but Chi Zhao had completely retired. He fulfilled his promise of not seeing anyone and not caring about anyone, leaving only Wen Yu and his beloved fishing.

This kind of life was quiet and beautiful. Wen Yu would often be startled awake in the middle of the night, fearing that everything was just a dream. Only after holding the person in his arms more tightly and listening to their strong heartbeat, was he able to calm down.

Wen Yu was like this for almost ten years. Chi Zhao never took him to see a psychiatrist nor did he tell him that it was abnormal for him to be like this. On a certain day ten years later, all of a sudden, Wen Yu had recovered.

As for how it happened, Chi Zhao didn’t know. Perhaps the long-term companionship finally worked. From quantitative change to qualitative change, Wen Yu’s heart finally fell back in place and he managed to recover without medical intervention.

After living in this world for another thirty or so years, big boss Wen’s body finally reached its end. Even until the second before he left, Wen Yu was still asking him whether he remembered the promise he had made. Chi Zhao nodded with great effort. A tear rolled out from Wen Yu’s watery eyes. Chi Zhao reached out wanting to help wipe it off, but he was too tired and could only close his eyes. By the time he felt less tired and opened his eyes again, he found that he had returned to the system space.

Chi Zhao looked around in daze. After a while, he lowered his eyes.

“Let’s go, system.”

He had spoken that line almost half a minute ago, but the system still hadn’t responded. Chi Zhao suddenly had a bad feeling. He called out again, “System?”

The system still didn’t answer. Chi Zhao however heard a prompt. It was a sound Chi Zhao had heard several times before. Realising something, Chi Zhao pulled up the success points interface and saw that the success points of the previous world had been released. It was a full score of 10. Adding to the previous scores, he had achieved a total of 40 points.

At this moment, the system spoke.

【The success points have been detected to have reached 40 points. Our company recently has a promotion going on to celebrate its anniversary and is offering a 60% off discount. The resurrection water that was originally priced at 100 points is now 40 points, would you like to buy it?】

The system didn’t answer earlier and now it was Chi Zhao’s turn not to answer.

The system waited patiently for a while until Chi Zhao finally reacted, “I……can resurrect and go home?”

【Yes.】

Chi Zhao’s mind was blank. This was too sudden. He didn’t expect it to happen so soon. He opened and closed his mouth several times but couldn’t say a single world.

The system was very silent and for once, it was a little agitated. After struggling for a few seconds and seeing that Chi Zhao was still in shock, it quickly checked its newly signed contract to confirm that it stated that as soon as the last task was completed, it could begin work in accordance to the new contract. This basically meant that it no longer needed to abide by the rules of a contracting slag shou system. The system took a deep breath.

It! Had! Been! Waiting! For! This! Day!

【Host, please listen to me! In fact, at the end of the first world, you have already been proposed by the main system daddy to become a host for special tasks and all the success points, abuse points and lying down to complete the tasks were all lies! In truth, as long as you stayed and experienced these six worlds, you can be resurrected and sent home! As for the reason, it was because one of our partners was difficult to deal with and after multiple tries, you were the only host who could be accepted by him!】

Before the main system could pay attention to this end, the system immediately spilled everything it knew.

【Our company is actually a virtual life experience platform. The development in our world and your world is too different so you may not understand what I’m saying but in short, we are not a game creator. We work together with governments, companies and individuals and provide virtual life experience services to educate, alert or punish certain individuals so that they can realise how difficult it is to have a good life and change for the better. So you see, as I said from the beginning, we are here to help make the protagonist better! And you didn’t believe me!】

Chi Zhao: “……………”

Who would’ve thought that it was actually true….

【Our clients are all kinds of people. Most of them are disobedient teenagers and their parents have paid a large sum of money to send them to a world and take over a character’s role there. Our system would then bring a host over. The host would retain their memories and they would also know the plot that they should follow so that they can teach those spoiled rich second-generation brats a lesson. Not all our clients are here to be educated though, some are also sent to be punished. It is probably the same in your world. There are high-ranking people who are put in jail after breaking the law, but because their identities were different, the jail they enter are also different. Our platform is the prison for these people. These criminals are made to experience virtual lives as punishment.】

It was just a form of psychological punishment; the body was still fine. The sins committed by each person are different so the lives they experience are also different. These people have too much power and too much influence. If they were placed in ordinary prisons, as long as they had the chance to interact with other people, they would be able to turn the situation around somehow but if they were trapped in a virtual life platform, then it was absolutely impossible for them to do that.

After all, they have forgotten who they are and are only subjected to miserable lives time and time again.

At first, Chi Zhao was dumbfounded. When he was done listening to everything the system had to say, Chi Zhao’s expression had returned to normal and he also seemed to understand what the system wanted to say to him. On the other end, the system had adjusted its talking speed to 5x and it very quickly talked about its conclusion.

【That is to say, these protagonists you have met are actually the same person and is a criminal who was being punished using our platform. Now that his sentence is over, you are also allowed to leave as thanks for your contribution!】

The system didn’t need to catch its breath, so it didn’t pause at all when it spoke. Chi Zhao only listened but didn’t give a response.

He stared ahead in daze and there was only one thought left in his mind.

As it turned out, it really was like that.

He and the same person had been in love a total of six times and have lived six happy lives together.

Looking at it this way, it seemed that even if he left now, there was nothing for him to regret. After all, no matter how you looked at it, he was benefitting.

He kept comforting himself with those thoughts but in fact, his current expression was one that looked like he was about to cry. The system couldn’t bear seeing it. After it was done saying the things the main system didn’t let it say, the system finally mentioned the things the main system wanted it to say.

【Although his sentence is over, he didn’t want to leave like this, so he bought from us one more opportunity to experience a virtual world. This time, you don’t need to complete any tasks and can live however you want. He wants to use this world to say goodbye to you. Would you…..like to do it?

“Goodbye…..?”

【Yes, but because of the regulations here, he still won’t have any memories in this world. You however will have your memories. This time, he doesn’t have to suffer, and you don’t have to do anything to make him suffer. You two can meet, fall in love and stay together like ordinary people. When the time comes, I will pick you up and then you can go home.】

 After a few seconds of silence, the system heard Chi Zhao’s calm answer, “Okay, I’ll do it.”

【Then it is up to you how long you plan to stay in this world. You can stay as long as you want but I just want to remind you that time will still be moving outside of this world. While you were completing your tasks, six years have already passed in the outside world. That is to say, you body is now twenty-six years old.】

Chi Zhao was taken aback.

“What is the time flow ratio?”

【Fifty to one.】

After a brief thought, Chi Zhao closed his eyes, “Then fifty years.”

Fifty years. It was the maximum time most couples stay together and it was also the most time he could give up.

His parents were still waiting for him. He shouldn’t drag this out any longer.

【Alright, the time has been set. Because this is not a mission world, I won’t be following you over. You take care of yourself, don’t be bullied by the others.】

Just as Chi Zhao was about to be sent over to the other world, the system scratched its own code and suddenly called out to him.

【Host.】

Chi Zhao raised his eyes.

【That…….although he is a criminal, he is a good person. You didn’t make a mistake liking him, really.】

Chi Zhao pursed his lips. His soft voice continued to echo in the system space even after his departure.

“…..I know. I know that already.”
