Quick Transmigration: God of Slaughter? But He Calls Me Baby! - Chapter 33

【Qian Zhou: What should I do, 052? I feel like this is way more complicated than I imagined.】

【Qian Zhou: Why does Gu Sheng always say he wants me to “remember him”? I’ve had no connection with him at all since birth.】

System 052 had been by his side for as long as he could remember.

Whether he was on a mission or not, 052 never left him for a single step.

Truly, he had never encountered anyone like this.

052 emitted a faint buzzing of electricity; his voice was slightly quieter than when he first entered the small world.

【System 052: I don’t know. Ever since I picked you out of the garbage heap, you started taking missions immediately.】

【System 052: I have all the records. You’ve never encountered Gu Sheng—no one even remotely resembling him.】

【Qian Zhou: Can you stop mentioning that you “picked me out of the trash”? How many times have I told you—stop lying!】

【System 052: Who’s lying?! You were huddled in a rotten shell, barely breathing. There shouldn’t have been a human there. I felt sorry for you, that’s why I rescued you!】

【System 052: I even recorded a video. I can show it to you.】

Qian Zhou immediately covered his eyes. “Not looking, not looking.”

Seeing his refusal, 052 deliberately played the video and stored it on an already full memory drive.

【System 052: Still can’t remember your childhood, huh?】

【Qian Zhou: It’s not that I can’t remember—it’s that I can’t say.】

【System 052: So sad… even I can’t say?】

【Qian Zhou: No.】

The sound of System 052 going offline echoed in his mind.

“…” Qian Zhou looked down at his fingers, staring at the empty inbox on the system panel.

He felt a bit bored.

So he strolled toward the backyard. Pushing open the glass door, he nearly choked.

Gu Sheng was sitting on the steps, looking like he could strangle himself, and the ground was littered with discarded cigarette butts.

“Cough cough cough…”

Qian Zhou waved the smoke away. “Gu Sheng! Are you trying to set a Guinness World Record for the most cigarettes smoked?!”

Gu Sheng had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, his expression dark. “…”

Qian Zhou felt like he was facing a night demon crouched by the roadside, a little frightening.

“You… why are you staring at me like that? If you don’t want me to say anything, I won’t say a word.”

The young man’s coughing reddened the corners of his eyes, and Gu Sheng’s narrowed gaze made him look even more handsome.

He stubbed out the cigarette on the step, his voice hoarse. “Have you set a departure time yet?”

The smoke dispersed quickly, but Gu Sheng already smelled of it. Qian Zhou pinched his own nose.

“We leave a day early. Jiang En asked his brother for money, saying that if there’s a piece he likes, he’ll buy it.”

Gu Sheng glanced at him. “And you?”

“I… what about me?”

A warm breeze blew through the yard again, rustling the ginkgo leaves.

“You’re not asking me for money?” Gu Sheng said.

A bright green leaf floated onto Qian Zhou’s head, sliding down his hair until Gu Sheng reached out and caught it.

The summer heat felt intense, and Qian Zhou suddenly felt hot under the sun.

“I… I don’t want to buy anything.”

“Really?”

Gu Sheng looked at Qian Zhou’s face. “A single meal of Australian lobster is enough to buy you off. If word gets out, people will think I’m poor.”

“You’re spying on me again through the monitors!” Qian Zhou’s ears turned red.

Gu Sheng stood, took down the coat from the hook, and put it on. “This auction isn’t small. Nothing has a starting bid under five million.”

“Why are you telling me this? I’m not buying anything.”

“No reason. I’m going to the company. Won’t be back tonight.”

“Okay, got it.”

After saying that, he left.

Qian Zhou stretched. “Alright, alright… everyone’s so busy.”

After Gu Sheng left, Qian Zhou returned to his room.

Suddenly, 052’s startled voice rang in his mind.

【System 052: Eh!!!】

Qian Zhou perked up.

【Qian Zhou: What’s wrong? What’s wrong?】

【System 052: Big discovery!】

【System 052: This was originally an A-level small world created by the main god, but no one has cleared it, so the difficulty rating has only risen slightly.】

【System 052: I heard something got mixed in during the creation process.】

【System 052: Confirmed! Confirmed! That must be the source of the bug. If we analyze the world’s code, find the thing that slipped in, we can fix the bug!】

【Qian Zhou: !】
