[Continued from page 4

There is no census in the slums, and finding a six-year-old beta child in the slums is a needle in a haystack, but there is a clue in the book that Xie Ruhang's father works in the underground arena, and Bai Zhi finds the Xie Ruhang family by investigating the mech racers in the underground arena.

Tang Bai, wearing a small cloak, is held in Bai Zhi's arms, and Bai Zhi mutters that he is no longer three years old enough to enter the underground arena.

"You're a six year old." Bai Zhi said seriously, "There's no need to go into the underground arena, the child you're looking for will come out of there when the game is over, we'll just wait at the gate."

"I want to see him sooner." Tang Bai covered her eyes, "Then I won't look around when I go in, okay? I'll only look at Xie Ruhang in the audience." He removed his hand again, revealing his watery eyes as he gazed at Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi: "......"

Bai Zhi: "Don't look at me like that, I know you know what you're doing, you're a big boy."

Tang Bai wrapped his arms around Bai Zhi's neck and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Bai Zhi: "......"

Bai Zhi: "I'm a very strong stander."

Tang Bai gazes at Bai Zhi for a moment and kisses him twice.

Bai Zhi, who is very determined, carries Tang Bai into the underground arena in silence, wondering what compulsion Tang Bai has put on him as he enters.

Tang Bai was overjoyed to be pampered, lying on top of Bai Zhi like a little sticky cake as four alpha bodyguards surrounded them and joined them in the seats closest to Xie Ruhang.

Tang Bai finally met the protagonist of the book, Xie Ruhang.

At the age of six, Xie Ruhang is still a beta, and the book says that he will undergo a secondary differentiation at the age of fourteen. Before his differentiation, Xie Ruhang is not surprisingly attractive, with black hair and eyes, wearing simple clothes and a black feather mask, like a grey, ugly duckling.

But Xie Ruhang is clearly happy at this time, sitting next to his mother and gazing intently at his father on the martial arts stage.

He was used to blood and violence, and instead of being frightened by the match on stage, he was calm and strangely excited, and he remained fully engaged in this competition.

Tang Bai stretched his neck in wonder at Xie Ruhang, a little unable to imagine that a child as tall as he was would become a Federation Marshal, the light of the omega.

This was the light of an omega that had given everything for the Federation, an unbreakable image in the books, and in front of his eyes, it was just a tiny one.

Xie Ruhang stood up and applauded as his father won the competition, but halfway through his applause, he turned his head and met Tang Bai's eyes.

The little Tang Bai, like the snow dumplings, is draped in an intricately embroidered cloak with a delicate lace-trimmed neckline that reminds Xie Ruhang of a budding flower.

His amber eyes have a glazed translucency which makes him look clean and harmless.

Xie Ruhang saw the young nobleman, wearing a white feather mask, smiling brightly at him, revealing snow-white teeth with one missing incisor and sweet dimples in each cheek.

The lighting design on the spectator stand of the underground arena is terrible. I heard that too many people died in the underground arena and to give the undead a place to stay, that's why the underground arena was designed in such a way that only the position near the performance arena could be illuminated by firelight, the rest of the arena was dim, dark and cold, as if breeding unseen evil.

Xie Ruhang was already used to such darkness, but when he saw the person in front of him smile like that, he suddenly had the illusion that all the darkness had been dispelled.

"Ruhang, what would you like to eat tonight?" His mother's words made Xie Ruhang turn his head, and when he spoke to her and looked at the place again, he noticed that the beautiful young nobleman was gone.

After seeing Xie Ruhang, Tang Bai was carried away by Bai Zhi, who had asked him to give his pocket money to the head of the underground arena so that he could give it to Xie Ruhang's family, so that Xie Ruhang's mother would not die of a serious illness.

On the way home by hoverbus, Tang Bai and Bai Zhi, two omegas, one large and one small, look down on the slum's decaying landscape.

Tang Bai puffed out her little face and said, "They are so sad."

Bai Zhi did not speak, it was his first time in the slums and everything before him was shocking.

"Brother Bai Zhi, when you become a councilor, can you make a good life for them?" Tang Bai tilted his head to look at Bai Zhi, his eyes were wet, his eyelashes curled and thick, and he was innocent of the world, but Bai Zhi somehow saw consideration and scrutiny in those eyes, like an angel sent by God to judge the world.

"I will do what I can." Bai Zhi said solemnly.

"Pull the hook!" The two of them hooked their little fingers to each other, Tang Bai's thumb struggling to touch Bai Zhi's thumb, and he shook Bai Zhi's hand in earnest, saying in a milky voice, "Hang on to the hook, and don't change for a hundred years."

"Very well! If you go back on your word, you'll become a puppy!" Tang Bai leaned her head against Bai Zhi, "Speaking of puppies, should I get my mum to get a puppy too?"

Bai Zhi is not surprised by Tang Bai's leaps in thinking, and the topic of Tang Bai's little talker has suddenly changed to "But I think human cubs are cute too, maybe I can sneak one in."

Bai Zhi: "?"

"I want to raise Xie Ruhang." Tang Bai, under Bai Zhi's uncomprehending gaze, spoke in kind, "Well, it's what you adults like to call precise poverty alleviation."

Bai Zhi: "???"

Xie Ruhang had a big meal today because my father won this tournament and my mother was so happy that a generous spectator gave him a big reward for cooking an elaborate dinner.

"Come on, Ruheng, you have some more." Mother said softly, "You have to study hard at school you know? So that when you grow up you can go and work in a nobleman's house! Noble houses are so nice, they have gardens, fountains, toilets that smell better than our rooms, and the noble lords will prepare rooms for you, a big room, they say it's some kind of servants' room ......"

Xie Ruhang subconsciously thought of the young nobleman who smiled at him, beautiful in a way that could not be hidden even by his mask, so delicate that he looked like a porcelain doll.

Xie Ruhang has never seen such good looking people, so good to see that they don't look like they are staying in one world.

Could he work as a servant in this young master's house in the future?

But he doesn't even know what the young master's name is or where he lives ......

Xie Ruhang finishes his meal and turns on his own lightbrain. The lightbrain he uses is not a child's lightbrain, but an adult one, one that his father obtained from the defeated and gave directly to Xie Ruhang to use.

[Congratulations on being an insider test user of Marvel Mecha Maker Around the World! Come and play the game!

Xie Ruhang didn't want to pay attention to the message, but it invaded his light brain like a bandit.

Xie Ruhang: "......" I, Mo had to choose.

Before sending his optical brain off for repair, Xie Ruhang chose to enter the game with a broken heart, and he saw an exceedingly well-made ...... game for young children.

The game's soundtrack is the most classic children's animation of all time, the colours are bright and vibrant, and the npc guiding the newcomers looks unexpectedly similar to the young nobleman he has only met once.

Xie Ruhang stares at the small Tang Bai, the thumb-sized image of an NPC, and freezes.

"Welcome to Marvel Mecha Maker Around the World, I am your instructor, overseeing your completion of the Beginner Mecha Maker course." The npc's expression was fake serious, his voice sweet and soft as he clenched his little fist, "Go for it! Godfather!"

Tang Bai raises human pups.

He is devoted to Xie Ruhang's clothing, food, housing, education, entertainment and medical care, and will give money to Xie Ruhang's family in the form of rewards for his father, and in the form of educational games to teach Xie Ruhang about various things.

The book says that Xie Ruhang will be bullied for not being able to keep up with the knowledge base when he grows up in the Federal Military Academy, so Tang Bai decides to teach Xie Ruhang well himself, and then a perfect omega light will come out and blindside the world!

Whenever he thinks of the future in this way, Tang Bai's heart feels a similar sense of satisfaction in designing mechs, but the sense of achievement in nurturing Xie Ruhang is even stronger.

He's like a long-legged uncle ...... Oh no, Uncle Short Legs is quietly watching over Xie Ruhang, and thanks to his coin-spreading antics, Xie Ruhang's mother overcame her illness and Xie Ruhang was not orphaned and left to wander, but Xie Ruhang's interest in fighting drove him to become a tournament "rat" in the underground arena.

When Tang Bai received the debut of "Rat" recorded at the Underground Arena, he didn't recognise it as Xie Ruhang for a moment.

Fourteen-year-old Xie Ruhang, with his superior silhouette and intense eyebrows, kneels on the chest of the tall alpha, the dagger in his hand sinking deep into his shoulder, blood splashing halfway across his face, painting the pale face a brilliant colour - like a rose fed on blood.

As if a rose satiated with blood.

This time the Rat is very gentle, as opposed to the fictional image of the Rat, where he is merciful and stops short, rather than fighting for his life in the book.

Tang Bai gave "Rat" a high reward, in Tang Bai's mind, Xie Ruhang will enter the Federal Military Academy and become the perfect omega light, he calculated that Xie Ruhang will enter the Federal Military Academy, almost four years later, he will be able to meet Xie Ruhang at the Federal Military Academy! He calculates that Xie Ruhang will enter the Federation Military Academy and in almost four years he will be able to meet Xie Ruhang at the Federation Military Academy!

The next day, as he lay in bed, the curtains were pulled back by a pair of hands and the sunlight poured into Tang Bai's bedroom, falling on his body as if it were plastered with a furry border.

A clear, gentle male voice rang out, "Young master, it's time for you to get up."

A half-asleep Tang Bai wrinkled her little nose and grunted, "Just a little more sleep."

"The dance teacher will be teaching at 10am today and you have one hour to prepare."

Tang Bai let out a long yawn and opened his eyes with a dull hair to see the handsome young man in uniform before him.

It was a cold and intense face that rejected people when it wasn't smiling, but when he saw Tang Bai he pursed his lips slightly nervously and gave a light smile, "Hello young master, I'm Xie Ruhang, the waiter who has just come to report."

Tang Bai: "??????!?!!" I must not be awake!

What the author has to say.

I don't think I should write this world line next, after all, it would be too long-winded to expand on it, so let me think about whether it's better to write about Li Songyun or Tang Tang's pregnancy in the next chapter (the pigeon king is cooing and ready to flip his cards)
