Raising You This Small Stuff

Chapter 15.1 Du Du has leveled up again!

The wine moved softly along the walls of the glass and in the dim light, the amber was crystal clear. A long and bony hand lifted it up and the wine in the glass moved, a light flickering in a certain pair of deep eyes. Taking a light sip, Mo Yi Cheng leaned on the bar, looking languidly to the side, his perfect jawbone almost screaming under the lens of the camera, the shadow of his side profile indifferent with nobility.

“CUT! It’s perfect!” After a day of close shooting, the director was still in high spirits, Mo Yi Cheng’s presence before the camera and the effect presented by this face was really greatly out of his expectation.

Some of the staff nearby also whispered, exclaiming about Mo Yi Cheng’s face and acting skills. They originally thought that Mo Yi Cheng wouldn’t be too involved in an advertising and promotional nature of this type of film, but they didn’t expect that as they kept on filming, several girls who saw the climax of Mo Yi Cheng’s performance burst into tears. Everyone was more than impressed with Mo Yi Cheng’s professionalism.

The filming temporarily over, Chen Jiao stepped forward and handed the phone Mo Yi Cheng’s cell phone back to him.

Ever since Yuan Suo started living inside the phone, except for filming when the phone was kept by Chen Jiao, it never left his body.

“Mo Ge, we may have to shoot a little late today, so I ordered the meal according to the way it’s usually ordered.” Chen Jiao said.

“I’m not hungry yet, you go and eat something first.” Mo Yi Cheng clicked on the game. The system showed that Yuan Suo had closed from school and that the school bus would bring him back in ten minutes. Seeing Chen Jiao still standing there, he asked, “Why aren’t you going to eat?”

Chen Jiao gave an “ah” sound, his fleshy fingers pushing up his glasses, a little embarrassed, “I just started a diet recently, so I won’t be eating.”

Mo Yi Cheng looked at Chen Jiao without ill intent. Looking at him carefully, there was indeed a little change.

“Chen Jiao, your body shape…. is it because of an illness?” He had seen Chen Jiao’s file, the photos of his college days were of a very sunny, warm and tender boy, not particularly handsome but well worth a second look.

Chen Jiao nodded, “Mhmm, the year I graduated from college I had a serious illness. I used hormone drugs and gained a lot of weight. Afterwards, I was very busy at work and couldn’t control my mouth.”

Mo Yi Cheng looked at Chen Jiao’s warm eyes under the thick lenses and smiled, “If you want to lose weight, you can ask Ken to help you make a fitness and diet plan, and the equipment inside my artist van is at your disposal. Just don’t go at it blindly, it’s not okay to not eat at all like you’re doing now.” Ken was Mo Yi Cheng’s personal fitness trainer, and Chen Jiao also acknowledged him.

Chen Jiao said gratefully, “Mo Ge, thank you.”

As he spoke to Chen Jiao, the school bus was bringing the elves back to their residences in a speedy manner.

Yuan Suo was the first to get out of the bus. Waving goodbye to everyone, he jumped out of the bus with his short legs, then run eagerly to his small apartment.

Although there were kind teachers, like-minded classmates and a cafeteria that provided a variety of meals inside the school, he had missed Mo Yi Cheng all day.

He run all the way back to the apartment, his mouth calling out to Mo Yi Cheng, the small schoolbag behind him bumping his buttocks, but when he entered the door, his foot slipped, causing him to fall to the ground with his bag.

Mo Yi Cheng who was on the other side of the screen could only watch as the little thing fell to the ground, then also roll twice. Fortunately the framework of the door was so low that he wouldn’t feel any pain from the fall.

“Mo Yi Cheng, I’m back!” Yuan Suo climbed back up, his excitement not affected in any way by the fall.

Mo Yi Cheng felt a little distressed and helpless, and while checking for damage, asked: “Are you tired?”

“Not tired!”

“Are you used to studying at school?”

“I’m used to it. There are a lot of teachers and students inside the school and I can also learn a lot of knowledge. It’s just…”

Seeing him hesitate, Mo Yi Cheng thought he had encountered something unpleasant and asked hurriedly: “What’s wrong? Did someone bully you?”

“No.” He shook his head and muttered to himself irresolutely, “I just can’t see Mo Yi Cheng inside the school.”

Mo Yi Cheng froze for a moment, stared at Yuan Suo for a while before he spoke, “What did you learn today?”

Yuan Suo twisted and turned his fingers as he recounted what he had experienced today, what classes he had attended and what he had learned. As Mo Yi Cheng listened to him, he seemed to see a light reflecting from the little thing’s body, it was so clear and pleasant that the whole day’s fatigue dissipated.

** I don’t really get – ‘His perfect jawbone almost screaming under the lens of the camera.’

Chapter 15.2 Du Du has leveled up again!

It was when Yuan Suo finished that he thought of putting his school bag down. Mo Yi Cheng noticed that the straps of his school bag didn’t seem to be fastened properly, so he asked, “What happened to your school bag?”

Yuan Suo’s head lowered as he explained with self blame, “I…. I couldn’t get it by myself. A classmate said he would help me, but it broke, I was careless.”

Mo Yi Cheng frowned slightly. This small school bag was a limited edition LV bag that he had purchased in the mall at the price of five figures, how could it just break? But in order not to make Yuan Suo blame himself, he comforted: “It’s okay. If it’s broken, we will replace it with a new one tomorrow, we’ll take this one for repairs.”

Yuan Suo asked apprehensively, “Can it be repaired?”

“It can, but if it can’t be repaired, they will give us a new one.”

“Wow, so good.” Yuan Suo really believed it naively, and then squatted down a little bit to take out the things inside the school bag, ready to take the empty bag for repairs.

Mo Yi Cheng asked, “That classmate who helped you, do you have classes together?”

Yuan Suo, “En, we were in the school bus together, and also both studied cooking, so he can be considered as a classmate.”

“What kind of a person is he?”

Yuan Suo think about it, “His height… he is taller than me.”

Mo Yi Cheng: “….”

“He has very white skin, the especially white kind, he doesn’t like to smile much, and he doesn’t like to talk, but he spoke to me.”

“Really? What did he say?”

“Uh…. he just asked me what my identity was before, what my player does, and where I live.”

Mo Yi Cheng felt vaguely uneasy, asking, “Did you tell him?”

Yuan Suo shook his head, “No, Du Du’s identity can’t be said to others, and Du Du must get Mo Yi Cheng’s approval before he can tell others about Mo Yi Cheng’s identity, I only told him what kind of house I live in.”

Mo Yi Cheng’s face softened slightly, “You did a good job.” With that said, his heart was still uneasy. After all, this game’s intelligence far exceeded that of existing technology. Just like an interdimensional world, then this world with self-thinking, would absolutely not be subject to any type of control, and Yuan Suo was too simple, moreover the world inside the game was beyond his control, which made him very troubled.

Mo Yi Cheng went to the store, bought a new school bag and a smart watch with location navigation as well for Yuan Suo. The good thing was that his classes didn’t take a lot of time each week, only three full days of classes (two days of art and one day of cooking) and (one half day of acting).

There would be a half-day class tomorrow, followed by two days off, then two art classes and another day off. So overall it was reasonable enough not to tire the little guy out. Of course, he hoped that he would really learn and achieve something, but if he couldn’t, he wouldn’t force him. If the small thing just wanted to sit at home and watch movies all day, he could afford it.

Ding!

[System Message: Elf Du Du has successfully completed his enrollment, passed the points, and leveled up to level 3. Unlocked permission: item transmission. Specific operation method: output from the game space, the elf can freely choose the output, but the player needs to consume a certain amount of gold coins to take out the items in the game; input from the real world, the player only needs to take a picture of the items.]

In other words, things from the real world could be brought into the game and things from the game could be brought out of it by the elf.

If everything about this game before was just a speculation, then such an operation was definitely not possible with existing technology or any other means.

Yuan Suo had naturally received the information, but he was still in the process of digesting it, his fingers poking his belly, deciding which items he should choose.

Mo Yi Cheng clicked on the [Transfer Items] and a camera icon appeared in the upper right corner of the game. He tapped it, then turned around and took a picture of a bunch of flowers on the table.

Click. The photo was taken as usual, nothing special happened. But in the next second, something that could make one’s jaw drop happened, because in a flash, the bouquet that was on the table disappeared into thin air. But the bouquet of flowers in the photo on the phone landed at Yuan Suo’s feet!

Mo Yi Cheng’s hand shook in shock, almost unable to hold on to his phone.
