The unhappy feeling quickly dissipated while they were talking. Lou Wei and Wen Fan had a long chat while they sat at the back of the car.

 Xiao Wu, who was driving went from feeling panic to shock, and then calm down again.

If he hadn’t heard it with his own ears, he would never believe that his boss, President Lou, would apologize to others.

Perhaps, this is the power of love! Xiao Wu thought secretly.

However, asking someone to ‘take off’ over a video call and furthermore, insisting someone to “take off now” was too much. President Lou doesn’t take pity on a lady at all. Regardless, he should consider that women get shy easily.

The more Xiao Wu thought about it, the more he was convinced that President Lou is incapable of managing a relationship. This would definitely lead to problems. But after eavesdropping for a long time, he noticed that Lou Wei’s tone became more and more gentle. He didn’t get into a quarrel and it seemed like he resolved the conflict peacefully. 

Xiao Wu was speechless.

But then, he was even more convinced that President Lou’s lover is a gift from heaven!

They are perfect for each other!

Xiao Wu sent Lou Wei home while holding on to this feeling. When Lou Wei got out of the car, he looked at him with the kind eyes of those who had experienced what Lou Wei was experiencing with tears in his eyes.

Even the most insensible people could feel his gaze, let alone Lou Wei with a sharp sense. He immediately looked at Xiao Wu, after he ended Xiao Wu giving him a strange look.

“Is there anything you wanted to tell me?”

Xiao Wu rubbed his eyes and said, “Nothing Boss, I’m just feeling happy for you.”

Lou Wei, “?”

Wen Fan could hear Xiao Wu’s words, What sort of nonsense is this guy thinking again? 

He then heard Xiao Wu say softly, his voice trembling with excitement, “President Lou, are you talking to your…girlfriend just now?”

Lou Wei suddenly went quiet. Xiao Wu has been with Lou Wei for several years and Lou Wei had learnt earlier that he was a man with a good imagination. He had employed Xiao Wu as a driver because he valued his honesty and also the fact that he is a little silly. So, he had long gotten used to hearing some puzzling questions from him.

But the reason why he kept quiet was not because of Xiao Wu’s ridiculous question.

It’s because of Wen Fan’s identity. Wen Fan is a person, a normal human being. But now, he has become a floating ball system in his mobile phone who can’t even walk around freely. Even when he was chatting with him, he had to be cautious so that Wen Fan would not be discovered.

Otherwise, he would be treated like an alien.

Lou Wei felt uncomfortable when he put himself in Wen Fan’s shoes.

That was what’s going through his mind, but he didn’t say it out loud.

Xiao Wu thought he had made a right guess. He smiled immediately and said in a serious manner,  “President Lou, I wish you all the best!”

Lou Wei: “…” 

He glanced at Xiao Wu and decided not to go against him and replied, “Thank you.”

Then returned to the villa with Wen Fan.

Xiao Wu behind him watched as Lou Wei entered the house. When he thought about the boss finally having a girlfriend, he had a feeling of that of a father whose son had finally grown up.

It was hard for him to hide his excitement.

Even when he answered the phone call from Zhao Mengke, he was still feeling excited.

Zhao Mengke raised his voice on the other end of the phone and said, “Lao Wu, let’s go. I’ll treat you to a ro…roast…roasted goose!!!”

Xiao Wu who was still emotional was immediately interrupted by his stuttering, “Zhao Mengke, what are you doing?”

Zhao Mengke replied, “I’m trying to in…invite you for dinner!” 

“Why are you inviting me to dinner all of a sudden?” Xiao Wu was a little bit disbelieved. “You wanted to ask me something? Tell me the truth.”

Zhao Mengke didn’t expect that Xiao Wu was able to read his mind. He coughed slightly to conceal his embarrassment.

“Hmmm, that’s not the case, that’s not the case at all. There are just some little things I want to ask you about. So if you are able to an…answer..m..me, then please an…ans…answer me.”

 “…….What do you want to ask?”

 “Can you tell me,” Zhao Mengke lowered his voice, “Is Lou Wei seeing someone recently? I kind of have a feeling that Wei-ge seems to be in love recently.” When he is gossiping, he wouldn’t stutter at all. He speaks as fluent as a village matchmaker.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Wu recalled the time when Lou Wei came back from the hospital looking disordered. Now that he learnt that President Lou has a partner, he must have gone on a date with his partner that time. And they are now still very much in love with each other. Today, even when he was in the car, he didn’t forget to do a video call with his girlfriend.

But this discovery was discovered by himself. He mustn’t tell Zhao Mengke who not only stutters but couldn’t keep his mouth shut. So Xiao Wu made a decisive decision and said without hesitation, “No, I didn’t notice anything. Beside getting to work, President Lou isn’t meeting anyone.”

Zhao Mengke doesn’t believe it. “Really? No, Lao Wu. Tell me the truth. Tell me the truth. I’ll take you to the newly opened Sea…Sea…Seafood Rest…Rest…Restau…Restau…Restaurant across the office. D*mn, why is it so hard to pronounce!”

“…” Xiao Wu: “It makes sense for President Lou to let you send text messages.”

“Hey, you.”

“There’s more.”

“Huh?” 

Xiao Wu adjusted the dash camera.

“You actually had a speech delay issue when you were a child. After going through therapy, it had gotten better. Thinking about it this way, although you are stuttering now, you are quite inspirational.”

Zhao Mengke’s mouth twitched, “…F*ck, get lost!”

Xiao Wu finally angered Zhao Mengke and got him to hang up. Meanwhile, Lou Wei was already walking toward the villa with Wen Fan.

A circular flower bed surrounded Lou’s Family villa. It separated the house from the surrounding neighbours. Lou Wei held the phone in front of him and pondered for two seconds. He then asked in a low voice, “Why did you download “Food Language” today?”

Wen Fan didn’t expect him to bring up the subject of the game when they were just about to reach the house. At first, he wanted to answer that he did it out of fun. But he had a feeling that Lou Wei would definitely not believe him. So answered honestly, “Because of boredom.” 

He looked at Lou Wei’s side profile. “I can only stay inside your phone. When you are busy with something, I could only stay inside your pocket. It’s really boring.” Not to mention that the event that Lou Wei participated in this time lasted more than four hours.

Even if Wen Fan is an otaku, he can’t stand being imprisoned in his mobile phone for so long. And since he couldn’t leave the phone to look at the outside world through the screen, this had made him reach his limit of endurance. Whenever Lou Wei went out, he could only stay in his pocket out of fear of being discovered. Whenever Wen Fan thought about the situation of living in a dark world with only a lamp that was turned on by a penguin for more than four hours today, and yet trying hard to remain calm while living inside the mobile screen, he felt suffocated.

He is a person who goes out every day. But now he could only stay inside an enclosed giant box. It was so suffocating that it could turn someone crazy.

He didn’t say the rest of his thinking. But by looking at the little man with his head drooping on the screen, Lou Wei could almost figured out what was in his mind.

Lou Wei didn’t say anything but frowned in deep thoughts. 

After attending a four hours event plus travelling on the road, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon. It was long past lunchtime.

In addition, it was Monday today. Lou Xia has already packed up and went back to school in the morning, leaving Lou Wei and Wen Fan at home. When Lou Wei opened the door and walked in, all that was facing him were the villa’s empty walls. He wanted to eat. It was either he cooked it or he needs to order takeaway.

But something was bothering his heart, so he didn’t care about eating at all. He took Wen Fan and went into his study upstairs. As soon as he entered the study, he took out a box of CD-ROMs from his pocket and inserted them into the computer on the desk. These were the videos related to Wen Fan that he obtained after he finished his speech from the school’s representative when he asked if they knew about a student named “Wen Fan”. 

Wen Fan extended his neck curiously and saw a line of words appearing on the computer screen. 

“An Qiao University’s student speech report.” 

The moment he read the title, he felt an unspeakable sense of familiarity. He recalled that he had come across that term a long time ago. Just when he was about to do a deep dive on his memories, he saw the video in the CD-Rom being played. The first frame was the summary list of all the students who did a speech at An Qiao University.

As a top student in the Internet Computing Faculty, Wen Fan has given many speeches and participated in a lot of contests in the school’s science and technology competitions. His name was listed in the first place on the list.

His mind went blank for a while. “Isn’t this the school’s collection video? They didn’t even give it to those students who participated in the competition. How did you get it?”

Lou Wei let out a faint smile. “Is it that difficult to get?”

Wen Fan immediately shut his mouth.

It was very difficult for an ordinary student like him. For Lou Wei who is a top graduate of the school, it would be incredibly easy.

He also realized how naive the question asked just now sounded. He shut his mouth tightly and stopped talking.

When Lou Wei clicked on the video of Wen Fan’s speech, he began to record Wen Fan’s voice. 

When someone is giving a speech, various tones and syllables would be used, especially in a long speech. It covered almost all of Wen Fan’s voices that Lou Wei needed. He finally managed to complete the last 1/5 of the sound source that he made for Wen Fan.

When Lou Wei thought about it, he could feel his heart racing.

He looked forward to hear Wen Fan’s voice as soon as possible. This drove him to speed up his actions. He put on a pair of noise-canceling headphones that completely blocked off any external noise and worked on the sound files.

Wen Fan, who was next to Lou Wei, noticed that he had completely entered a working state. He stopped talking so that he wouldn’t distract Lou Wei. He sat on the desktop leaning against the phone screen in boredom while staring at the various APP icons on the APP shelf above his head in a daze. 

He is now a floating ball system of a mobile phone. Every time when there is a change in his mental activity, his body would react and show the state he is in.

Just like now. 

Wen Fan leaned on the screen of the phone lazily. The hair sticking out from his head was just like him, bored to the point of growing fur. They were pointing upright, high up into the sky.

Perhaps Wen Fan was too bored. ‘Xue Er Si’ on the red APP shelf above his head began to scroll in white fonts, “Learning makes me happy. If you are bored, then go and study.-Gorky (Gorky, ?????)” (T/N: Xue Er Si is an education website in China where you can learn new skills.)

Before the line of characters finished showing, the pink big-horned deer on the “WakeUp Schedule” next to it kicked the bright red tomato of “Tomato ToDo” onto the face of “Xue Er Si”.

There was a speech bubble above its head, “Learning, learning, and learning. I’m so exhausted from helping you to memorize all your lessons schedule!

On the right of the pink deer, the little fat bird from ‘Dao Dao Bookkeeping’ on the yellow APP shelf did not dare to show its full face. It only exposed its eyes, grabbing onto the APP frame, secretly staring at ‘Xue Er Si’ who was smashed by rotten tomato all over its face. It quietly changed the word ‘Dao Dao’ on the top of its head to ‘That’s right’.

The QQ Penguin went beside Wen Fan and took two pink and blue twisted lollipops from ‘1 Lick Camera’ next to it. (T/N: 1 Tian Camera is a camera app with many fun filters, stickers, and effects to choose from). He handed one lollipop to Wen Fan and ate the other one himself.

They sat back and enjoyed the show while enjoying their candy. Wen Fan licked the lollipop that the penguin handed over. It tasted as good as it looked, with the fluffiness of cotton candy and the sweetness of grapes. 

Suddenly, they saw the green owl on ‘Zhi Xue.com’ app above their head flew from the APP frame. (T/N: Zhi Xue.com is an education platform designed for teachers to interact and manage their student’s assignments progress). It was righteously uttering a speech bubble,  ‘Learning enables one to have a clearer vision.’

As soon as it finished saying, ‘Weibo’ above its head immediately its Godzilla eye.

The owl, “…”

It flapped its feathers that got messy after fighting with the penguin. It coughed lightly and then said,  “— refreshing!”

The pink deer from the ‘WakeUp Schedule’ took a deep breath and took a sniff on the ‘Onion Academy’ who was standing next to ‘Zhi Xue.com’. The blue onion in the Apps frame moved, and the pungent smell immediately invaded the deer’s nose. The deer shivered in pain and fainted in the next second.

All the apps that witnessed how the owl brought disaster twice in a row. They were looking at it with a complicated expression. Even Wen Fan also sensed that the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

The owl, “.” 

In fact, learning is good, but it was a pity that there were two words sticking out above the owl’s head that reads, ‘parents’. No matter what it said, it just seemed old fashion and no one bothered to listen.

Now the little deer has passed out, the surrounding apps were all concerned about its situation. Even Wen Fan also walked over carefully, trying to search for medical Apps to treat it.

Luckily, the little white pigeon from ‘Xun Lei’ was able to respond quickly and pulled out a bunch of green grass from the grassland of ‘Mobile Transport Pay’ and fed it to the deer using its beak.

The deer chewed two mouthfuls of the fragrant grass. It took a long time for it to wake up. It shook its big antlers aggrievedly and staggered back to his APP frame. It then laid on the frame with a vacant expression.

The other apps breathed a sigh of relief. The little red bird of ‘KG.qq’ saw that the deer was getting better. It fluttered its wings frantically with excitement. Just as it was about to sing, the penguin stuffed a lollipop into its mouth and blocked its throat so that it couldn’t make a noise.

When other animals saw that the little red bird was about to sing, they all fled in different directions. Some of them went back to their APP and hid in the corner. Even the penguin took out two sets of headphones from behind its *ss with excellent noise cancelling effect. It placed a set over Wen Fan ears and quickly put the other one on itself.

Wen Fan wanted to laugh.

He wanted to turn around to thank the Penguin, but today, he used his consciousness to connect to An Qiao University’s Internet and communicated with various other apps. Now that all the apps on the mobile desktop kept quiet, he felt really sleepy.

His body was so tired that he could hardly even raise his hand.

Wen Fan somehow managed to make his way back to the ‘Sims’ mansion. The moment he was beside his bed, he went to sleep as soon as his head touched the bed.

    ……

Outside the phone, Lou Wei was still busy working on his computer. It was past eight o’clock in the evening when Lou Wei pinched his eyebrows and stopped working. He had been editing the audio files for six hours straight.

Wen Fan’s sound source is ready. 

It took only a few days to build an anthropomorphic sound source that includes almost all the tones and words that one would use. Only Lou Wei of Yuan Cheng Technology could do this.

He definitely put in some enormous effort into this.

By the time Lou Wei who had been using too much of his eye power left the computer, he felt that his eyes were dizzy and the objects in front of him were a little blurry.

He subconsciously turned his head to look at his phone and realized that the screen of the phone was locked.

At times when Wen Fan is active, the phone screen would not lock because the APP on the desktop is moving. And now that the screen is locked, it means that Wen Fan has fallen asleep.

Lou Wei gently tapped the phone screen twice. He did not dare to tap it vigorously. He unlocked the phone screen using facial recognition and surely enough, he saw the ‘Sims’ mansion suspended in midair at the blank space in the center of the screen. Below the mansion, QQ Penguin and Mei Tuan Kangaroo were also asleep with a speech bubble of ‘zZZ’ above their heads. 

On the top level,  the green owl from ‘Zhi Xue.com’ app was hanging upside down when it was asleep. It rested its claws on the upper edge of the app, snoring in an upside-down posture.

Lou Wei stared at the mansion for a long while before reaching out his hand to turn off all the alarm clocks and muted the phone. He then gently locked the phone screen to let Wen Fan sleep peacefully.

After doing all this, Lou Wei leaned on the back of the office chair and recalled how Wen Fan said he felt bored while he attended the event this morning. The image of Wen Fan’s head drooping was still clear in his head. Lou Wei sat in front of the table in meditation for a while. He picked up another mobile phone and walked to the corridor outside the room to call Lin Xiao.

When the call was connected, there was a lot of noise. Lou Wei could hear the roars of adults, the noise of children, followed by a series of footsteps. It seemed that Lin Xiao moved away from the place just now with his phone.

Lin Xiao, “Boss?”

Lou Wei heard the noise on the other end gradually disappear. He whispered, “As mentioned in the meeting at the beginning of this month, have you arranged the team responsible for doing the designing of the RPG game?”

“The selection of the team and the proposal are ready,” After Lin Xiao finished his words, he explained it further again.

Lou Wei replied, “Alright, then we’ll start the project tomorrow.” 

Tomorrow?

Lin Xiao was stunned, “Boss, didn’t you said that it will only start in the middle of the year?”

Lou Wei turned around to stare at the door of the study. Usually, when Lou Xia was not at home, Lou Wei seldom switched on the lights. Because when you are alone, switching on the light makes it appear more onely. But at this moment when he looked at the wooden door, it seemed as though he could see Wen Fan lying inside through the door.

The lights along the corridors appeared less cold. “…Take out the budgets allocated previously for buying the copyrights of the celebrities’ personas. Limit it to five celebrities for now while the rest of the budgets will be diverted to the development of new features.”

Lin Xiao sounded even more confused, “New feature?”

The RPG game designed by Lou Wei this time was mainly developed to surpass all other existing RPG mobile games by including image copyrights of various well-known animation characters and celebrities with a huge number of fans.

Players will be able to create a bonding with two/three-dimensional characters and they can create their own goddess and male gods on their mobile phones to gain favourability. 

 Once they obtain the copyright for the image, even if the game’s features were that of an ordinary development game, fans of the characters wouldn’t really mind at all. Because they are just to cultivate their own version of their beloved stars or anime characters.

What new features do they need besides this?

Just as  Lin Xiao was trying to figure out what Lou Wei meant, he heard Lou Wei’s deep voice, “Well, I wanted to develop one that can scan the image of a human character, copy their appearance, and automatically turn the image into a character of the mobile game. Of course, one needs the approval of the other party by means of identity approval or purchase before copying his/her appearance

At first, Lin Xiao was still speculating about what sort of feature Lou Wei wanted to design. After hearing what Lou Wei said, he almost couldn’t keep his tongue straight.

“Boss, are you sure you wanted to do this?” The ability to scan and simulate a person’s external image into a game character would greatly increase the workload of mobile game designers.

…But it sounded more interesting than the original plan

But if they only focus on the copyright image of famous celebrities or anime characters as the selling point of the new mobile game, once everyone has their hands on the virtual characters of their own idols, the play value of the game will almost come to an end.

But if the game is added with the feature after obtaining the permission of the original person to allow users to input any human image into the mobile phone to create a human character. Many young couples in distant relationships will really like this feature.

Furthermore, In the future, they look into developing the feature to enable communication through the avatars on their mobile phones; users can create their own avatars and use the avatars to try on clothes for themselves on the Internet… etc. 

Famous internet celebrities might also want to sell their images copyright for this game. Fans would be willing to pay for them and they would benefit from it. It will be a win-win situation for them.

This mobile game will be eligible to interact with any type of audience.

What a business opportunity this will be.

Lin Xiao couldn’t help but quickly did a mental calculation in his mind. 

But the biggest challenge with this business opportunity is to tackle the first step of how to successfully ‘extract the appearance of a human being’ and create a 3D human image at a very fast speed.  

Lin Xiao’s right hand that was holding the phone was trembling. It wasn’t because he was afraid, he was excited. It was just like how they discussed the design of ‘Heaven’s Dream’ before. Lin Xiao has a feeling that if they can really create this new RPG game, it will definitely be as impactful as ‘Heaven’s Dream’.

After all, no matter how popular ‘Heaven’s Dream’ was, it was still a terminal game, and it often had limited audiences. But RPG is a mobile game, as long as anyone has a mobile phone, they can experience it anytime.

He took a deep breath and asked Lou Wei, “Boss, do you think our technology is advanced enough to let us scan and reconstruct the human body?”

Lou Wei was still staring at the door of the study. He heard Lin Xiao’s voice and answered without hesitation, “Yes.” 

He wanted everyone to be able to get scanned and became a character on the mobile phone. He wanted to make all those who loved playing mobile games couldn’t resist but install this RPG mobile game and develop their favorite characters.

This way, even if Wen Fan can’t get out of the phone, he can live without hiding anymore. He could show Wen Fan generously to others and no one would doubt Wen Fan’s human appearance and his true identity.

Lou Wei was still in deep thoughts. He then heard another string of footsteps from Lin Xiao’s end, followed by the voice from an acquaintance asking loudly, “Lin Xiao, what are you doing?” Lou Wei knew who it was when he heard the voice-  Zhao Mengke.

His nasal sound was strong. Judging by his voice just now, he could tell that Zhao Mengke was definitely drunk.

Lin Xiao, “I’m talking to Lou——”

 Zhao Mengke immediately interrupted Lin Xiao. “Why aren’t you eating ro…roast…roast…roasted chicken? Why are you out here? Do you really think that you are a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle who doesn’t need to eat?”

Lin Xiao, “You better watch your language, the other end of the phone is—” 

Zhao Mengke, “Come! Come! Follow me back inside. Even if you really want to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, you aren’t even as green as them and you don’t have a blindfold. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are all green…green…”

Lou Wei, “.”

Lin Xiao, “…”

Zhao Mengke shook his head, “Green all over!! Look at you, not only are you not green. But you are also not powerful.”

Lin Xiao, “…………”

Lou Wei pinched in between his eyebrows helplessly, “Are you having a meal?”

Lin Xiao quickly covered Zhao Mengke’s mouth and replied,  “Yeah, we are at the barbecue restaurant in front of the office.”

……

Even by covering his mouth, Zhao Mengke couldn’t stay still. He kept shaking his head and fooled around. Lou Wei could hear his voice on the phone. Being Zhao Mengke’s old classmate for so many years, Lou Wei knew how he behaved after he was drunk. He stopped discussing the topic.  “We’ll talk about the rest tomorrow. You can take care of him first.”

Lin Xiao hung up the phone obediently.

Lou Wei put away the phone, pushed the door, and walked into the study. Even though he knew that Wen Fan in the phone might not be able to feel it, he still picked up the phone very gently and took him back into the bedroom.

 He then put Wen Fan next to his pillow, shut his eyes, and dozed off.

 …… 

When Wen Fan woke up the next day, he was not awake because of the alarm clock, nor did anyone wake him up. After he was fully awakened, he went to the bathroom to wash up before leaving the room and walked out of the villa. He realized that the sun was already high up in the sky.

The world outside of his mobile phone is no longer Lou Wei’s study or bedroom. He was in his office now.

As soon as Wen Fan appeared on the screen, Lou Wei spotted him.

The man turned to his side and lowered his head to face Wen Fan. Without waiting for Wen Fan to react, he casually opened the closet next to him and changed Wen Fan into a ragdoll animal suit.

It was a delicate and gorgeous punk outfit with a black leather jacket with rivets, high-cut boots, and a black leather collar tightly clasped around Wen Fan’s neck. On top of Wen Fan’s head was a pair of triangular cat ears that were realistic enough to shake freely. And a big fluffy white tail was attached to the back of the outfit.

The extravagance and elegance of the ragdoll were a perfect combination with the punk style that displayed handsomeness. Wen Fan stared at his attire in a daze. The big tail behind him swayed from side to side, it was so soft that it seemed as though it could simply tickle the heart of others.

Lou Wei hasn’t said anything yet. The fat penguin beside Wen Fan had already rushed over with red hearts in its eyes. He hugged Wen Fan’s tail frantically rubbed his body against it. He wished he could use Wen Fan’s cat’s tail as a blanket and wrap himself inside the fluffy ball.

The penguin was still grabbing onto Wen Fan’s tail. He couldn’t help but staggered a few steps. He felt a little embarrassed by Lou Wei’s quiet gaze. He couldn’t help but cleared his throat slightly, “Good morning.”

Lou Wei nodded, “Morning.”

The man’s usual deep magnetic voice made Wen Fan’s ears go soft. The cat’s ears on the top of his head couldn’t help but trembled a bit. The small hairs on the tips of the ears stood upright.

This voice is too teasing, thought Wen Fan.

He quickly turned his head away to break away from meeting gaze with Lou Wei. He looked at the computer that was turned on next to Lou Wei, and recalled what Lou Wei was doing before he fell asleep yesterday. He couldn’t help but ask, “About…the sound source…”

He looked up at Lou Wei while Lou Wei lowered his head to look at Wen Fan.

Lou Wei stared at the tiny man with his wide-eyed eyes looking expectantly at him. He looked at the fluffy tail fluttering behind Wen Fan and felt like he was scratched by the cat’s paw in the deepest part of his heart. Even his voice had become unnatural, “It’s done.”

“So quick?!” Wen Fan couldn’t sit still when he heard the good news. He ran to the phone screen and leaned his hand to the screen while he looked at Lou Wei through the glass. The speech bubbles above his head became excited and even started shaking, “That means I am able to talk now?”

Lou Wei stared at his happy face and he felt that even his mood seemed to be good too. He wasn’t even aware that a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. “Yeah.”

He pointed on his computer screen at the sound source folder that he had already moved to the desktop and whispered to Wen Fan, “But I still need your program code, otherwise, I won’t be able to establish a connection to insert the sound source data. “

Following his gaze, Wen Fan stared at the sound source folder on the computer desktop. His gaze was similar to those of a worshipper with eyes filled with sincere prayers.

Although the sound source was just within reach, Wen Fan realized that he had no clue how to transmit his data code to Lou Wei. This is exactly like a person who was starving to death found an Oasis and later found out that the water was poisonous and he didn’t bring a water purifier along.

He closed his eyes and dived into deep thought.  He tried to perceive the data code on his body but found nothing.

For the very first time, Wen Fan realized that this body that was connected to the Internet is not omnipotent.

But there is also one possibility——

That this is the restriction imposed on him by the mysterious force that turned him from a human into a system. After all, Wen Fan doesn’t understand the composition of his own code, thus he will never find a way to unlock his own code. In this case, he would not be able to escape from the electronic system.

Wen Fan felt a little discouraged when he thought about this.

Even the cat’s ears on the top of his head stopped moving and drooped in disappointment. The big cat tail behind him dropped to the ground. The penguin who was still playing under his tail was instantly crushed to the ground.

Penguin, “Yikes OnO!”

The penguin is so fat that its big belly was the first part of its body that touched the ground before its head. The penguin’s legs were so short that they were almost invisible.  Its big brown-yellow feet could only flutter in mid-air in a suspended state, and it couldn’t step on the ground, nor balance itself stand up again. It maintained its current posture like a duck egg lying awkwardly on the ground, trembling.

At times when it struggled too hard, it would even roll around the ground. But it still couldn’t get up.

At first, Wen Fan was still worried about his own problems, but seeing the penguin’s clumsy actions, he couldn’t help but laughed and reached out to help the penguin get up.

The penguin, whose feet finally touched the ground, let out a long sigh of relief. It flapped its wings and wiped the imaginary sweat on his head. It then reached into the pocket of the Mei Tuan Kangaroo’s to search for something. The kangaroo shot an extremely unpleasant glance at it. It pulled out a plate of chicken curry rice from the kangaroo’s pocket and gobbled it in the name of comforting its “frightened” little heart.

""

As a result, the kangaroo flipped the whole plate of curry chicken rice onto the penguin’s chubby face. The curry sauce flowed down the penguin’s cheeks, and some even got onto its red scarf.

The fat penguin licked its lips aggrievedly and ate up the curry paste around its lips. It then sobbed until it hiccuped, “QuQ!” 

The penguin was pitiful. Wen Fan took a big white bowl from ‘Kou Bei’ APP from the red APP shelf beside him, and filled the bowl with the giant droplet of water from ‘Water Droplet Donation’.

He brought it to the penguin and washed the curry paste off it.

The Mei Tuan Kangaroo stared at the penguin’s big teary eyes for a long while, and eventually took out a big bucket of ‘Family Bucket Deluxe Set’ from its pocket with a disgusted look and shoved it into the penguin’s arms.

“…” Wen Fan felt as if he was a teacher in the “young animal kindergarten”.

After he helped the penguin wipe its face, he noticed that Lou Wei had plugged the data cable into the phone to connect it with his computer.

Lou Wei felt Wen Fan’s gaze, and turned his head to look at him, “I’m going to transfer the sound source to the phone. Let’s try and see if you are able to capture the data.”

 Wen Fan nodded.

Both of them had no idea on how to install the sound source data. This is all they could do for now. 

He watched as the sound source folder was transferred from the computer to the phone. A message from the system popped up on top of the screen, notifying that the file had been received successfully. 

As soon as Wen Fan raised his hand to touch the notification box, he felt a strong current rushing through his arm into his palm.

It then penetrated his bones from his palm, spreading rapidly into the rest of his body.

Ever since Wen Fan became an anthropomorphic system, his body temperature has always been constant. Suddenly his body temperature began to rise rapidly. It seemed as though the electric current had burnt into his blood vessels, and had quickly caused his body to warm up. The heat extended all the way up to the top of his head. 

This feeling of being forcefully invaded made Wen Fan shivered.

Lou Wei could obviously tell that something was wrong when he saw Wen Fan’s expression. He frowned and looked at him nervously. “How do you feel… are you feeling okay?”

The man-sized him up and it seemed as if all the problems Wen Fan’s body were exposed under his penetrating gaze. But Wen Fan didn’t feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, he felt the warmth from being cared about by others. He shook his head, “No, I’m okay—”

Before he could finish his words, he opened his eyes wide and quickly raised his head to look at Lou Wei.

He tried to say another word, “…Lou Wei?”

The man outside the screen squinted at him.

“Yes?” Lou Wei said in a very soft voice, “I heard you.”
