Xu Sili carefully observed Si Sheng's expression.
The man was in a daze that was rarely seen on his face. He seemed to be unable to digest the information he had just given him, and his brain seemed to have shut down.
He pursed his lips slightly and lowered his eyes.
"Si Sheng, I know it's hard for you to accept at the moment, but … I'm really not a god.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I didn't know how to explain it to you … Besides, there are some things that I'm confused about …"
The more Xu Sili spoke, the lower his head became.
He had already let go of Si Sheng's face. He put his hands on his shoulders, grabbed his collar slightly, and rested his forehead on his chest. The metal buttons on the man's military uniform were slightly cold, just like his mood at the moment.
"If …" He bit his lip. "If you don't like me anymore and want to break up with me …"
The young man's voice was low and depressed, and his tone was full of grievance.
Si Sheng finally came back to his senses.
He grabbed the young man's hands. "What are you talking about? What break up? "
Xu Sili blinked and looked up at him. "Don't you mind? I'm not the god you think I am. "
Si Sheng furrowed his brows.
Just as he was about to speak, he glanced down and saw the young man's naked body. He couldn't help but pause. He raised his hand and the robe hanging on the hanger flew over.
He reached out and stroked the young man's hair, and all the water droplets on his body disappeared. Then, he wrapped the robe around him and tied the robe.
Xu Sili kept looking at Si Sheng, his light purple eyes filled with a soft light. When Si Sheng finished tying the robe and looked up at him, he couldn't help but lean over and peck his good-looking lips.
Si Sheng looked at the young man and reached out to touch his cheek. "I'm a little confused now …"
He said, "If you're not a god, then how do you explain the things that you once gave me and the ability to transfer me to this world?"
Xu Sili bit his lip. This was something he couldn't explain.
Should he tell Si Sheng … that he was just a set of data created by humans, and that this world was also created by humans?
In a sense, humans were gods to Si Sheng.
"If you can't tell me, there's no need to force yourself," Si Sheng said.
"I only need to confirm one thing."
"What is it?"
"Back then, it was you who saved me from the slave master, right?"
Xu Sili nodded.
In fact, Si Sheng already knew the answer. He couldn't have guessed wrongly. In the trial world, when he had quickly and accurately rescued him from the underground slave market, it was impossible for him to have any doubts.
"Why?" He was curious.
Xu Sili did not expect him to ask this. He tilted his head slightly and recalled the original plot of the game.
At that time, he had drawn Si Sheng's card. According to the game's settings, there were two options after completing the card's plot. He could let him go and draw another card, or he could keep him.
According to Si Sheng's initial situation, it was indeed very bad. In the early stages of the game, almost no one was interested in his card.
Then … why did he choose him?
The dirty little slave appeared in his mind. He was very dirty, and his eyes were so dull that they seemed to have lost all color. But when he saw him, he knew it was him.
Xu Sili shook his head. "I don't know. I just liked him at first sight."
Si Sheng couldn't help but smile. He reached out and pulled the young man into his arms. He rested his chin on his soft hair and gently rubbed it.
"I've been very worried about you," he said softly. "I thought you became so weak because you were injured …"
Xu Sili pouted. "Then I'm sorry. I've always been very weak."
Si Sheng laughed softly. "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to say that I can finally rest assured."
Xu Sili snorted. "I'll catch up with you soon."
Si Sheng did not doubt this.
After all, in just five months, he had grown from his initial weak state to a two-and-a-half-star level.
This was difficult for others to achieve in their lifetime.
Xu Sili leaned into his arms and slowly smiled. He thought that Si Sheng would be very concerned about his identity as a God, but it turned out that he was thinking too much.
Now that he had finally talked about this, he felt that the stone that had been weighing on his heart for a long time had finally been lifted.
However, his joy and relief did not affect Si Sheng. He hugged the young man and his expression gradually became solemn.
"You just said …"
"That Brave Warrior is your brother?"
"Yes." Xu Sili did not notice his abnormality. He was still in his arms, looking for a warmer and more comfortable position.
Si Sheng pursed his lips and still did not give up.
"A blood-related brother?"
"Yes. My soul mysteriously came here and became Snow Roland. After knowing that my second brother was here, I went to Lan Yue City to look for him, but he didn't believe me …"
Xu Sili explained what had happened to him. Si Sheng listened carefully, but his expression was always a little distracted.
Ah, Ali's brother …
Recalling his attitude towards him, Si Sheng did not know how to feel for a moment.
Then he remembered how he had grabbed Xu Yuheng's hand in the pavilion and almost killed him.
…
Ali's brother would forgive him, right?
"You want to weaken Si Sheng's attributes?" On the other end of the phone, Wang Lao was surprised.
"That's right!"
Xu Yuheng thought about how Si Sheng had inexplicably reduced his affinity with him to -10,000. As a result, he could be attacked by other NPCs at any time.
The anger that had just subsided suddenly surged to his head again.
"Wang Lao, don't you think that this NPC is a little too strong?" Xu Yuheng said, "I remember that in the previous report, the research center also mentioned this. You should know his parameters better than I do, right?"
"Of course I know this."
Wang Lao nodded. However, he felt that Si Sheng was definitely less dangerous than Snow Roland, especially Snow Roland who had some information.
Of course, it was still the second beta. From the feedback of the players, the rapid development of the game had an encouraging effect on the current players. It even increased the speed of the Starry Sky Forum.
According to the people in the group, the Xu family had already received a few good advertisements and were preparing to launch them.
However, they had to look further into the future.
From past experience, the development of the game couldn't be too fast. At least, they couldn't let the NPCs do what the players were supposed to do. No matter how they looked at it, it was ridiculous.
Even though Wang Lao wasn't from the planning department, he agreed with this point of view.
"Then Wang Lao, for the sake of game balance, shouldn't we reduce his attributes?" Xu Yuheng said.
Elder Wang, however, smiled.
"Little Mr. Xu, didn't you and your brother reject the previous proposal?"
"We can't delete the files and start over …"
"But if we forcefully interfere, the game world might collapse."
Hearing Xu Yuheng's silence, Wang Lao sighed and explained, "You might still be blaming me for not helping you transfer from Lan Yue City to the Imperial City during the first beta."
"But little Mr. Xu, just like the analysis in the report, once these forceful instructions are sent out, we can't predict the consequences."
"We can add some things now, and we can fix bugs when the mainframe detects them, but these actions are limited."
"Roland is the most complete map. It's like a precise machine, and every part has its purpose."
"If you want to remove a part and keep the machine running smoothly, you need to go through strict calculations. But even with the most precise calculations, accidents can happen …"
Xu Yuheng patiently listened to Wang Lao's words and finally came to a conclusion. He didn't want to remove Si Sheng, so he might as well delete the files and start over.
Wang Lao really didn't give up!
He shook his head. He knew that he couldn't achieve his goal of revenge from the outside, so he had to give up on the research center.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Yuheng stood up and got ready to go eat some supper.
But after taking two steps, he thought of something and quickly turned back. He sent the photos he took in the game to his phone from the game cabin and left the room while sending them to his mother.
After chatting with Wang Lao for a while, it was already 11 pm. He thought that his mother was already asleep, but just as he took out a packet of instant noodles from the cabinet, he heard his phone ring.
The sender was Mother Xu, but the conversation wasn't just to him, it was to a small family group.
In this small group, there were his grandparents, Xu Fengqing's son and daughter, and in the middle were his parents and his two brothers.
Of course, there was also a member who would never appear again.
Mother: [Picture] [Picture] [Picture] [Picture]
Mother: [Look, this is a picture of Ah Heng and Xiao Li. Ah Heng just sent it to me ~]
Mother: [Oh, my Xiao Li is still so beautiful.]
Grandmother: [Voice] (Why does Xiao Li have white hair? Her eyes are purple.)
Mother: [Ah, it's so late. Mom, why haven't you gone to bed yet?]
Grandmother: [Voice] (I got up to drink some water and swiped on my phone. Then I saw these in the group chat.)
Mother: [Oh, Ah Heng saw Xiao Li. We'll be able to meet him in the game soon. Hey, I wonder if Xiao Li is lonely in the game by herself. Will she be bullied?]
Grandmother: [Voice] (With Ah Heng around, if anyone dares to bully my darling Xiao Li, Ah Heng, you can beat them up!)
Xu Yuheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw that his two elders were still chatting in the group chat in the middle of the night.
He quickly popped up and said yes to them. Then, he coaxed them to sleep. Only then did he take the cooked noodles and slurp them down.
After filling his stomach, he went back to lie on the bed and stared at the ceiling, thinking about how to deal with Si Sheng.
Since external measures didn't work, he could only destroy him from the inside.
What were Si Sheng's weaknesses?
Although his level was high, it didn't make sense that he didn't have any weaknesses, right?
As Xu Yuheng thought about these things, he gradually fell asleep. At night, he even had a dream. He dreamed that he had reached level 100 and pinned Si Sheng to the ground to beat him up. Needless to say, it was so satisfying.
When he woke up, he contacted the Yin family in high spirits.
After yesterday's adjustment, Old Master Yin had already calmed down. His attitude towards Xu Yuheng was much better than before, since he had finally reunited with his daughter.
He also very generously agreed to his previous promise and had already sent someone to draft a contract. He would contact Xu Fengqing today.
Xu Yuheng was naturally full of gratitude. Although this outcome was within his expectations, he still heaved a sigh of relief that it could be settled smoothly.
With the help of the Yin family, his brother should be able to relax a little.
The details couldn't be explained over the phone, so Xu Yuheng quickly hung up and sent a message to Xu Fengqing to remind him.
Then, before he could call her, Yin Hong's call came in.
Obviously, this strong woman also saw the potential of Star Age. Not only because of her brother, but also because she was optimistic about this project, so she changed her attitude.
Both of them were smart people, so the phone call was very pleasant. Yin Hong was mainly interested in the game, and Star Age needed this kind of cooperation.
After all, the Xu family really didn't have the money to do marketing.
After a day of work in the afternoon, Xu Yuheng finally had time to enter the game.
After a day and a night of thinking, he finally came up with a plan. There was strength in numbers, so he still had to lead Yu Siqing's mercenary group.
If he couldn't win in a duel in the future, he could still ask for help!
Just as he was thinking about how to manage the mercenary group and how to deal with Si Sheng in the future, he heard a familiar system notification sound as soon as he went online.
[Ding. [Si Sheng]'s favorability towards you + 20000. Favorability level increased to [Respect]]
[Gentle Reminder. [Si Sheng] is known as the guardian of the Roland Empire. Because of her respect towards you, you will be more likely to gain the favor of the Roland people.]
Xu Yuheng: …?
