    Chapter 123 Who’s the gong and who’s the shou?

    In the end, Mu Chongyan went to meet him, bringing Bai Rong together with him.

    Mu Fenglan’s situation did not look bright. His two legs had been amputated at the base and he would not be able to receive limbs for a year.

    In truth, with Sheng Ya’s medical technology, the majority of the amputees would be able to have prosthetics cloned within half a year. However, because Mu Fenglan’s condition was too severe and his mood was also unstable, this led to his cells being indisposed for harvesting and culturing.

    Mu Fenglan harbored deep regrets, knowing that for the sake of love, he had been foolish, arrogant, and selfish. The affection that he had valued so deeply was just a farce. A farce that had harmed people.

    He had harmed Mu Chongyan, harmed Xia Qingshu as well as Sheng Ya.

    The reason why he asked to meet Mu Chongyan was not only because he wanted to meet this child but more so because he wanted to repent and seek forgiveness.

    Mu Chongyan didn’t forgive him. However, he did thank Mu Fenglan. One matter was one matter. He wouldn’t forget favors and violate justice, thinking that this was something Mu Fenglan should have done even though Mu Fenglan indeed owed them a debt.

    Bai Rong quietly stood behind Mu Chongyan and only spoke twice when Mu Fenglan spoke to him. The rest of the time, he merely silently watched the two.

    Bai Rong cast Mu Chongyan weird glances several times, feeling a little jealous. When Mu Chongyan recruited him, he asked him to cohabitate with him, did these people also….

    Sensing his gaze, Mu Chongyan’s heart palpitated and he quickly cleared the misunderstandings, “These people were recruited by Dai Suo and Walter. I only recruited the best members making up the backbone of the group.”

    Bai Rong narrowed his eyes, “Really?”

    “Really.” Mu Chongyan nodded with a loyal face. “The members I recruited are only Ma’er, Du Han, Du Xiao, Xi Meng and you.”

    “Then did you cohabitate with them when you recruited them?”

    “No!”

    Mu Chongyan firmly denied. This was a fatal question so he needed to answer it seriously to show his sincerity.

    Moreover, what he did as ‘Mu Nan’ with him wasn’t also considered cohabitating. After all, they were in a virtual city, what could they have done?

    However, they soon learned what they could do in the virtual city.

    Though the first one to have been illuminated by such a skill wasn’t them nor did it happen at the moment but it was going to be a story for later.

    “Brother!” Seeing that Bai Rong came to visit them, Kuku happily ran over from the training grounds.

    “Brother, why did you come? Did you come to visit me?!”

    “….Mm, I’m here to visit Kuku.” Bai Rong couldn’t help but feel guilty, “How has Kuku’s training been going lately?”

    Advertisements

    “It’s going great. I even just won a round against Dai Suo!”

    Bai Rong looked at the Dai Ya who was holding a towel and a nutritional dose, expressing sympathy to Dai Suo on the training grounds and a profound look flashed across his eyes.

    These pair of brothers….seem to be in a relationship.

    “Rongrong, I’m going to the training grounds to give them pointers. Do you want to come with?”

    Bai Rong turned his head to look at Mu Chongyan and realized that he looked unhappy, “What’s wrong, Chongyan?”

    “It’s nothing. It’s got nothing to do with Rongrong. Recently, I haven’t had the time to come to v67. I didn’t think that my guys would train like these. It seems that they need a beating. The training program should also be revised.”

    At the same time, all the people in the training grounds inexplicably felt a chill run down their spine.

    Kuku silently took a step back.

    “Yeah. Some people do need a beating.” Bai Rong nodded. “I’m going with Chongyan.”

    “Brother…” Kuku suddenly spoke out, “I have something to talk to you about.”

    Seeing Kuku wearing a look that said “This matter is something I can only discuss with us brothers, you can’t let Mu Chongyan listen in”, Bai Rong immediately wore a face that said “I understand”. Then, he waved at Mu Chongyan. “Chongyan, you should go first. I’m going to talk with Kuku.”

    He figured that perhaps Kuku was going to ask him for relationship advice. After all, since the last time Kuku mentioned he had someone he liked, he had always been curious about his affairs.

    Mu Chongyan: “….”

    “Alright. Then Rongrong can look for me once you’re finished.” Mu Chongyan helplessly ruffled Bai Rong’s hair.

    “Ok, you should go.” Bai Rong combed his hair back in place, feeling a little sour. “Chongyan, don’t ruffle my hair, you’ll ruin my hairstyle.”

    Mu Chongyan looked at Bai Rong who appeared sour and wanted to laugh. His Little Cake had always lived with tough man principles. His hairstyle had always been a casual comb of his hair, framing his good-looking face. His hair was jet black and smooth and no matter how Mu Chongyan ruffled it, it gave him a sense of delight.

    So why didn’t he know that his Little Sweet Cake had a hairstyle?

    “Brother…”

    Seeing Mu Chongyan leave, Kuku decisively pulled Bai Rong to a corner and his face started heating up. “Brother, I have something I wanted to ask you…”

    “What is it?” Bai Rong’s revealed a hint of excitement. “Tell me, brother will teach you what he knows.”

    “…” Kuku silently purchased his lips on the inside. What he needed was the experience of being a shou.

    “Brother…I wanted to ask you, what do you usually like?”

    What shous like shouldn’t be any different from each other right…

    “What do I like?” Bai Rong was taken aback, “Kuku, are you going to buy something for me?”

    Advertisements

    Kuku: “….Yeah.” Guilt suddenly struck Kuku’s heart, feeling as if he had forgotten his brother now that he had a wife.

    “I don’t need anything.” Bai Rong ruffled Kuku’s head but because Kuku was a little tall, standing at 186cm, he needed to raise his arm.

    Realizing this, Bai Rong felt a bit gloomy. Why did he stop growing at 179 when Kuku grew until 186!

    However, after half a month had passed, Kuku no longer grew any longer. And by the looks of it, It looked like he had stopped at 186cm.

    “Brother, tell me. What do you like?” Kuku pulled Bai Rong’s sleeve, his round eyes blinking. He even acted coquettish, which was rare for him.

    “….Alright.” Seeing his 186cm tall younger brother acting coquettish, Bai Rong couldn’t hold himself back any longer, “I like everything related to spell cards, mechs also aren’t bad.”

    “….” Kuku: “Is there anything else?”

    He felt that that person’s interests were quite far from spell cards and mechs…

    “I like anything that’s manly, bold and powerful.” Bai Rong revealed a domineering smile.

    Kuku was suddenly at a loss for words: “….”

    Like that little treasure cub he had….

    Feeling as if he had asked the wrong person, Kuku let out a long sigh on the inside. How could he forget that his brother’s thought process wasn’t the same as the average person’s…

    He should probably ask his friends on the star network.

    Seeing Kuku remain silent, the corner of Bai Rong’s lips hooked up and he suddenly put an arm round Kuku’s shoulder and mysteriously smiled, “Kuku, Brother wants to ask. Is this matter of yours….”

    “What?” Kuku inexplicably gulped.

    “Tell me, is brother the closest person to you?” Bai Rong narrowed his eyes.

    “Of course!”

    “Then shouldn’t important matters be told to your brother?”

    Kuku: “…Y-Yes.”

    Hearing Kuku’s response, Bai Rong shot him a bright smile. “Then when Kuku previously mentioned you like somebody, who is it?”

    Kuku’s face immediately turned red: “!!!”

    “Kuku?” Bai Rong pinched Kuku’s face, “Tell me. Don’t be shy. Brother will help you think up a plan. Whom did you choose to be your wife?”

    Bai Rong didn’t harbor any doubt that his Kuku was certainly eyeing up a wife.

    “It’s…” Kuku couldn’t take Bai Rong’s intense stare, his cheeks growing into a deeper shade by the second as he stammered out, “It’s a member of v67…”

    “Who?!” Bai Rong’s eyes shone with a curious light.

    “It’s…” Ku Ku’s voice was akin to that of a mosquito, “It’s Du Han…”

    “Du Han?!!” Bai Rong yelled out in surprise, “Kuku, when did you start liking him?!”

    Oh my god. He never would have imagined that the person Kuku liked would be Du Han. Du Han was a hacker. As a robot, shouldn’t Kuku be afraid of him?

    “About more than 20 days ago, I can’t remember…” Kuku blushed, “Brother, don’t tell anyone. I haven’t even confessed to him…”

    “Kuku, don’t worry. Brother won’t tell anyone.” Bai Rong nodded with a serious face, several thoughts spinning in his head. Du Han, in truth, wasn’t a bad person.

    At a height of 183-184cm tall, with a lofty figure, and scholarly looks, one could tell that he was a warm and kind shou who wasn’t gloomy at all. At times, he could even be considered lively. He probably wouldn’t have tough times ahead with his Kuku. The question was just whether Du Han’s business prowess was strong and whether he was a good candidate…

    But….

    “Kuku, what do you like about Du Han?”

    “I like…” Kuku’s face turned into an even darker shade of red, “I like how he looks handsome when he’s working, how he knows programming like it’s at the tip of his hands. He’s extremely amazing…”

    Alright, was this a program in Kuku’s body to first have feelings of admiration?

    However, this was not a problem. Love usually started from admiration anyway….

    “Then what do you usually feel when he treats you like usual?” Bai Rong wasn’t worried for Kuku. He knew that Kuku was the gong at first glance, just like him!

    However, as a domineering good gong, one had to dote on their wives, they shouldn’t take them by force.

    “He…”

    “Rongrong…?” Mu Chongyan’s voice suddenly wafted over, taking the two by surprise as though their little secret had leaked.

    “Rongrong?” Mu Chongyan walked over, “Why did you run over here? Are you finished with your discussion?”

    “More or less…” Bai Rong put on a shrewd look and pinched the hem of his clothes, “Chongyan, have you finished giving pointers?”

    “En, I have.” Mu Chongyan seized Bai Rong into his arms, “In a while, I’m going to take a look at Du Han, Ma’er and the others to see how their research is going, do you want to come with?”

    “Ok.” Bai Rong looked at the steaming Kuku, “Kuku, are you coming with?”

    “I….I’m not going. I’m heading off to train! Brother, bye bye!” Kuku turned his head and ran.

    Mu Chongyan cast Kuku a glance and silently scrunched his brows, “What’s with him?”

    “It’s nothing. It’s nothing. Let’s go and visit Du Han and Ma’er!” Bai Rong pulled Mu Chongyan’s arm and chuckled dryly, “Haha, Chongyan, who should we visit first?”

    “Let’s first visit Ma’er.” Mu Chongyan evidently felt that Bai Rong’s reaction was a bit unusual but he didn’t question him and instead said, “I handed the top grade biological and medical technology we obtained from Weng Na before all to Ma’er. Today, we’re going to see if he has made any progress. Afterall, the gene forging as well as the element in red soil and rare blue liquid that can develop one’s aptitude is ahead of every star region’s understanding. If Ma’er were to research them, he might have a breakthrough and propel Sheng Ya’s bio-medicine to new heights.”

    “That’s great. Plus, Ma’er was the one who researched how the vod drug can stimulate one’s aptitude. If he were able to combine the two, he might be able to create something that not only raises one’s aptitude but is also completely safe!

    “Mm.” Mu Chongyan watched with curved eyes, looking at his bright-eyed Little Sweet Cake and he couldn’t help but rub his hair.

    “Boss!”

    The two people were about to board the lift when a yell sounded. Bai Rong turned around and saw Du Han running towards their direction.

    Oh, it was his brother-in-law!

    “Boss, I studied the program you sent me. When can I take the vod drug?”

    “What program?” Bai Rong curiously asked.

    “Cough…” Mu Chongyan suddenly cleared his throat, “It’s nothing, it’s just a small program.” He then turned to look at Du Han. “I’ll test it out later. If it passes, I’ll give you the vod drug. However, Du Han, have you really thought through it? Although the current vod drug is the third improved version, the success rate raised to one in a million, the risks are still great. You need to think it through.”

    “I have. My determination is solid. Moreover, I believe that I will succeed.” Du Han smirked, revealing a little arrogance. “Even if I fail, I don’t think I’ll die. If I become disabled, I’ll just ask for Ma’er’s treatment, Ow-! Boss, why’d you suddenly hit me!”

    “What kind of attitude is this?! If you become disabled, you’ll ask for Ma’er’s treament? If this is the kind of attitude you’re going to have, don’t waste your body and don’t waste the vod drug. One bottle is already precious enough as it is, why not just leave it for Dai Ya and the others.”

    “Boss, Boss, I was wrong. I was just making a joke. I’m really serious. I’m not wasting my body! I promise!” Knowing that Mu Chongyan was angry at his inappropriate attitude towards his body, Du Han was quite moved, thinking to himself that boss did indeed care for them all. However, he really needed the power of the vod drug to raise his A Level aptitude.

    Otherwise, how could he confess to that person who had such a strong aptitude?

    Mu Chongyan swept Du Han a look, his eyes narrowing. He had a lot of considerations and only replied after a long while, “I understand. Go back and send the program to my optical computer. If it succeeds on the test, I’ll tell Ma’er to give you the drug.”

    “Ok, thank you boss!” Du Han quickly stood in attention and was just missing the military salute. When his line of sight fell on Bai Rong, he immediately wore a bright smile.

    It was just that….Bai Rong somehow felt that there was another meaning behind that smile.

    Not only was there friendship, joy and a hint of currying, there was also….a strangely sinister smile…

    “….” The corner of Bai Rong’s lips twitched and his brow scrunched. Why did he feel as if something wasn’t right…
