Su Xi didn’t know what was wrong with the game, but she immediately thought, could this be the big gift the system mentioned after 100 points, which meant she could see the original artwork without spending any money?!
But why is it that only the baby has been transformed into the original artwork, while the servants and stewards sweeping the courtyard outside are still depicted as cartoon figures?!
Su Xi couldn’t help but complain in her heart, “What kind of gift package is this? It’s too stingy. If you’re so capable, why don’t you switch the entire Yan Kingdom’s population to their original artwork?”
However, even though only the baby was transformed into the original artwork, she was still pleasantly surprised.
Although the short-armed, chubby-faced baby was so cute that she was reluctant to let him go, the original drawing of the baby was also incredibly handsome, making it impossible not to stare at him.
However, having gotten used to the style of short-armed, short-legged cubs, Su Xi was still a little unaccustomed to this sudden change.
She fumbled around on the screen, trying to see if she could switch back to the original simple line drawing style.
She quickly found it on the system interface and happily switched over.
….
But–
Before two seconds had even passed since the switch, “snap!” a puff of mist appeared, and the image of the little one on the screen reverted to the original drawing! The little one’s expression seemed a bit displeased.
Is this still a mandatory gift package?!
“Fine,” Su Xi thought, “since I don’t need to spend any money, I’ll just let the cub keep the original artwork. The original artwork is more pleasing to the eye.”
At the same time, Su Xi also discovered that after 100 points, the game’s time flow had changed slightly.
Previously, the game’s time flow rate was 3:1 compared to the real-world time flow rate, including when Su Xi played the game. Almost everything on the screen was displayed at three times the speed. However, for Su Xi, who often watched TV series at three times the speed, this speed was just right.
However, after she reached 100 points, when she closed the game, the ratio of game time to real time seemed to have become 2:1. This was why she spent one night here, and only one day and one night had passed in the game.
After she opened the game, the ratio seemed to have returned to 1:1. That’s why, when she opened the screen and saw her usually quick-moving little boy standing motionless in the room, she wondered if the game was stuck.
Su Xi didn’t have too many doubts in her mind. She just understood it as the game reaching the second stage after passing 100 points, which might be more difficult, so the flow of time slowed down slightly.
What excited her most right now was the system’s promise that once she reached 100 points, she could communicate with her baby.
How exactly do we communicate?!
Su Xi no longer considered the cub merely a character in a game, but rather a real person from another world. This game, which suddenly appeared in her life, had built a bridge between her and the cub. Although it was indeed unbelievable, since the system said they could communicate, Su Xi believed it would definitely work.
But–
There were no dialog boxes on the entire interface where you could enter text.
Su Xi fumbled around and around but couldn’t find any new online chat dialog box.
Can we use voice chat directly?
Su Xi put on her headphones, cleared her throat, and tried to say something— “Hello, hello, hello.”
And right after she finished speaking, a chat box actually appeared floating in the air on her phone screen! It converted her words into text! Su Xi’s eyes widened, her heart pounding and her blood rushing to her head— wow, the system was telling the truth!
So, will what she said reach the baby?
She foolishly continued wearing her headphones, trying her best to make her voice sound nice and gentle— “Hey, can you hear me?”
The little boy on the screen looked somewhat surprised and shocked.
…Did he hear that?
Su Xi almost stopped breathing. The next second, she saw a look of ecstatic joy flash across the face of the little one on the screen, and a dialog box popped up above his head, saying, “I’m here.”
Su Xi got goosebumps instantly. She gripped her phone tightly, her toes curling up in shock, and she forgot how to breathe.
My God, this is fu**ing amazing!
She originally thought that after reaching 100 points, the game program would add an input box, which would convert the text she typed into notes and place them on the cub’s desk. She thought that the communication the system mentioned was done in this way, but she never expected that it would be direct voice communication!
No, it’s not entirely voice; she still couldn’t hear the cub’s voice. What the cub says is still the same as before, appearing as a dialog box above his head.
But, at this moment, did the little one finally hear her voice?!
Did he think a ghost was talking to him?!
Fortunately, she had already convinced the cub that she was a ghost. The idea that a ghost could suddenly speak and make sounds is similar to spirit summoning, soul calling, or resurrection, and it should still be within the child’s acceptable range of worldview.
Su Xi was both excited and thrilled, tears welling up in her eyes. At the same time, she felt a strange sense of novelty, shock, and disorientation, as if her worldview had been overturned. In short, her heart was pounding, and she suddenly choked up, not knowing what to say.
….
Lu Huan, on the other hand, was equally shocked as he stared at the curtain in front of him.
Just now, she suddenly put two small, round white things on her ears on the screen, and then opened her mouth and said something.
Lu Huan had assumed that since he couldn’t hear her voice from his side, he wouldn’t be able to know what she was saying, and he was feeling slightly disappointed.
But to his surprise, the next second, a rectangular frame popped up above her head on the screen in front of him!
A line of text popped up in the box.
—”Hello, hello, hello.”
Lu Huan’s pupils contracted sharply. The shape of her lips just now seemed to be exactly like this. So, was this line of text what she had just said?!
All of this shattered Lu Huan’s worldview. He never imagined that technology would have advanced to such an extent thousands of years later, allowing people to communicate across millennia with just a screen!
However, it seems that the “universe” mentioned by the wandering Taoist refers to space and time. Since we can now travel a thousand miles a day with a single Akhal-Teke horse and move rapidly through space, it’s not impossible that thousands of years from now, we might discover the ability to freely travel and communicate within time tunnels.
And at that moment, a thousand years later, she spoke a second sentence to him.
It turned into a rectangular frame that jumped out from the curtain above Lu Huan’s head, and the second line of text appeared in the frame.
“Hey kid, can you hear me?”
At that moment, Lu Huan’s heart was pounding in his throat. He never imagined that one day he would actually be able to have a conversation with her.
Although everything was different from what he had imagined— she wasn’t some ghost or god, but someone from a thousand years in the future— he hadn’t succeeded in helping her create a physical body as Lu Huan had hoped.
However, Lu Huan felt even luckier, at least knowing that she was living well in a seemingly prosperous and peaceful dynasty a thousand years later, and that the day he could finally meet her was within reach.
His throat tightened, and his voice became extremely hoarse as he replied, “I’m here.”
