Chapter 266: Family disgrace should not be made public, so...

The sea surface reflected the cotton candy-like cloud fragments, which sparkled in the sunlight.

"Wow..."

Su Ming lay on the deck, and could only hear the regular sound of waves coming and going. Moving his eyes to the left, he could see the turret.

There was a man in a white coat closing the first aid kit.

"He's fine."

"..."

The buzz cut, the clothes, the combat boots, etc.

Including the deck on the back. Probably because of the long exposure to the sun, there was still some heat, and even the seawater that Su Ming brought when he was pulled out of the water became hot.

"Are you from the Snow Country?"

"..."

"Forget it, just take a photo and upload it to the database. I guess he hasn't recovered yet."

"You are really lucky to be able to get out of such a big vortex."

"..."

Su Ming just raised his hand with some difficulty, letting the soldier in blue combat uniform support him.

its not right.

What was Noelia's last words?

He clutched his own hands tightly and smiled.

"Master, will we get there after we pass through the fog ahead?"

wrong.

There is no fog.

What I saw was a destroyer and the blue sky and blue sea.

The red string on the wrist was still there, but the bell was gone, leaving only the trace of being torn apart. There was a bloody mark near the palm of the hand.

"Master, is it possible that Noelia can't go..."

"..."

why?
What if you're not a player?
That doesn't make sense.

The heart rope can come over, but people can’t?

"Su Ming, born in 1999, his native place is Dong City? He didn't come here illegally."

"Ok?"

“Focus on…”

"Rest well first. We'll decide what to do with you after we confirm with the control tower."

"……etc."

"?"

The young soldier paused and turned to look at Su Ming in confusion.

"It's okay... Can you give me something to eat?"

"Hold on."

He originally wanted to ask the time, but when Su Ming raised his head, he found that there was a square screen on the wall of the room that simultaneously displayed coordinates, temperature, time and other parameters.

【2024.07.06】

【AM14.36】

Really back.

Not only did we return to the Snow Country, but the timing was also right.

There is a window in the room that can see outside. Is the destroyer turning around? Even if it is not turning around, there is no foggy area.

Is Noelia still alive?
Task……

What can be done?
There are soldiers guarding the door, and it is impossible to treat yourself as an ordinary citizen until your identity is confirmed.

"Phone? Yes, I can use it."

All calls from here will be monitored. So it doesn't matter?

Call An Shiyao.

【What on earth are you doing? 】

[I don't answer the phone, I don't reply to messages, are you that busy? 】

【…】

[Have you had lunch? Really, didn’t you say that being a big boss means you have to exploit others and take it easy yourself... So, where are you now? ]

[I didn’t see anyone when I arrived at the company. What’s the emergency? He didn’t even take his cell phone with him.]

[What kind of number is this... a landline? ]

At first there were some angry words, and then it naturally turned into normal consideration.

It will be very troublesome.

The me who was supposed to be in the office building of the Dongshi Development Zone disappeared, and was replaced by the me who was on the destroyer.

I just heard it.

Focus on...

After confirming that this was the snow country he was familiar with, everyone was there. Then what?

If there is no end message for the mission, can we still judge it according to the previous standards? As long as there is no message "the target has died", it is fine?

The best way is to call Xia Ye immediately. She knows your situation and will definitely find a way to help.

Come back to this coordinate later...

[Abnormal player mission itinerary detected]

[Do you want to terminate the task immediately and use the last historically saved score as the final upload record? By default, 'Yes' will be automatically selected after 00:09:59]

【whether】

A translucent text box suddenly appeared in front of me.

Su Ming returned the phone to the soldier and went back to the cell.

'no. ’

no response.

The reason for the lack of response was probably because he ran back to the Snow Country.

The mission is not over yet, it is still in the game. At least for ten minutes.

My cheat is a product that transcends various complex factors and rules. This little thing... will not disappoint the players.

The books on the iron cabinet don’t have much killing power themselves, but what if they could be enchanted?

If you are still in the game, use the "Pure White Wings" given in this game to see if you can float for a short time.

"Hey!"

"boom--"

Is this the Type 20 automatic rifle used by the naval forces?

Su Ming still prefers the ordinary AWM sniper rifle. An inch longer, an inch stronger. However, this 20-type automatic rifle is enough to make the bullet rush out of his head from his chin. It is enough.

6 month 12 day.

early.

"Ding-a-ding-a-ding-a-ling."

The bell on the bracelet is still there.

"Master, can we reach the Snow Country by crossing the fog?"

"..."

why?
Ignore Noelia's fear last time.

This time again?

She had clearly held it tightly with her hands, and she had even grabbed the bell. Was that why I didn't see the bell after I passed by?

"...Master?"

Su Ming ignored Noelle's confused look and pulled the rope to control the canvas to turn the boat.

Go back to the helm.

Thick smoke billowed from the heavy engines on the ship, and the sound of the ship's horn became increasingly distant until Su Ming could no longer hear it.

"I heard it wrong."

"There is no ship horn sound, it must be a sea monster."

"...Master?"

You can't fool her, right?
Thoughts are read after all.

"Feel sorry."

"?"

He hugged Noelia tightly, feeling her breath against his ears, and finally put his hesitant hands on his back.

If I really go back alone.

And Noelia is left here alone, exhausted, and if she encounters a monster again...she dies.

What on earth is that?
Even worse than animals.

6 month 13 day.

early morning.

The ship has returned. It is now heading towards the port of Ichia. Will it arrive tomorrow?
"..."

I often use my master's lap as a pillow.

But rarely did the master change to give me a knee pillow. There was something hard where the back of my head touched, which was muscle.

I have a lot of questions.

"Before you ask the question, can you tell me first...that you didn't hear any sound at all?"

"..."

I cringed a little.

But the master just smiled.

"It really is... something you would do."

"……sorry."

I shrank my feet.

"What are you apologizing for?"

"Honestly, this time it's the teacher's turn to apologize."

"..."

I do not understand.

If Master has gone back before, when was it?
I have been back, and I can come back right away? I don't see the reason.

I'm really tired.

I had used all my strength to defeat the monster before, and I was already exhausted. Now I was lying on my master's lap...

"Go to sleep if you want."

"Wake up, you should be home by now."

Which home?

From Ichia?

I faced Master's stomach, holding Master's hand, and my consciousness gradually became dizzy.

6 month 13 day.

early.

Just as Master said, I arrived at the port of Ichia when I woke up.

"If you sleep a little longer, you can actually get home."

"..."

That kind of thing was bound to happen sooner or later anyway.

But why is Master carrying me on his back, hugging my drum, and seems to be in a good mood... but also a little sad?

6 month 13 day.

noon.

"Uh... ahem, Boss, can you please listen to my explanation first?"

"First of all, you and Xiaotia both claimed that you would never come back. I thought it would be easier to think clearly here while sleeping in the grocery store."

"Yes! I'm here to return the props! It took me so long...ah, what am I talking about?! I just came to take a look. Yes, I'm leaving now."

"..."

Miss Moni couldn't explain it clearly. After stripping naked, she lay on the bed where my master and I often slept, and the floor was covered with all kinds of strange props.

The master didn't seem to care at all.

I just waited for Miss Moni to run away in a panic, then took out the sheets I had folded from the closet and spread them on the bed.

6 month 13 day.

in the afternoon.

"I don't know why, but you can't go back with me. At least not now."

"..."

Hearing the Master say it out loud.

I don't know what expression to make. Cry? I don't want to do that.

But forcing myself to smile like this...isn't it uglier than crying?
"But it doesn't matter. In fact, I have a wonderful ability."

"It can extend time to infinity."

"Just find a way to verify it again and again. You will find a way."

Is there any way in the world to extend time to infinity?
"..."

In fact, I had understood the master's intention as soon as he turned back. I couldn't follow him, so I had to stay here alone.

I should say now...

As we agreed before, if only Master can go through, that’s fine too.

Anyway, Master will find a way to find me again, and I will also find a way to find Master again.

But I couldn't say it at all.

I couldn't hold back my tears. I was afraid... What if I couldn't do it? What if I could never find it again?

"Feel sorry."

wrong.

This is not the Master’s fault at all.

If Master really has gone back, then giving up the success he has already achieved... and coming back only because of me, wouldn't that make him a burden again?

“Wu…Wuuuuuuuuuuu!”

Is this just my instinct?
He clung to his master tightly, begging not to be left behind.

I simply thought about myself and cared about my own feelings, and completely ignored how the Master looked at me and responded to me at that time.

7 month 12 day.

Evening, flower shop.

A month had passed since we returned from the port.

Padme and Romina are very happy. Is Miss Monnie happy too?

"Now the boss actually takes the initiative to touch the little wolf's hair?"

"I did it..."

"Eh? What did Xiao Tia do?"

"Ask her to help out at the grocery store, and have dinner together after work... I think Master might feel more relaxed if he saw that innocent smile."

"Hey, little Tia, why do you always suddenly become serious... I think men are like this. With the indulgence of their wives, they have no power to resist cute girls."

"No. Master is not like that."

"..."

Maybe seeing Padme's face turn red after being touched on the head, the master would feel a little relieved.

But I, who made this happen, feel more relaxed.

It makes me feel relieved to have my master respond to me and recognize what I have done... and to think that I might be happier if I stay here.

"Hey, let's not talk about this."

"Look at Ichia City! Look! That LED light, which the boss proposed last month, I thought was a fantasy."

"Now it's everywhere. The electricity... I never thought it would be so bright at night."

"..."

"Ms. Moni."

"Ok?"

"What do you think, if someone could go back from the future to the past, over and over again, what price would that person have to pay?"

"Back to the past? And the kind of going back many times? Then I guess I will be fried in oil tens of thousands of times after going to hell. Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"..."

"Hehehe, could it be that Xiaotia is also suddenly missing the past? Want to go back to the time when she first met the boss and relive the budding stage of love? Yes, that kind of heart-pounding feeling..."

"..."

I don't want to go back to the past.

When we first met, Master didn’t like me. I didn’t like Master that much either.

I just……

7 month 12 day.

late at night.

The bathroom on the first floor of the grocery store has been renovated. It is covered with tiles. This is also invented by the master. It can be heated, drained and changed more conveniently.

"Hiss...is the water a little hot?"

"Hot water can relieve fatigue."

"Add some ice, quickly."

"..."

I made some ice crystals and put them in the bath.

"Much more comfortable."

Then, I naturally took off my clothes and put on the swimsuit that I had prepared long ago...what the master called "sukushi".

First wipe the master's back, then move to the front.

"Although I'm used to it, I still want to say it."

"Have you ever been so busy helping someone take a bath that you ended up asking them to help you take a bath?"

"..."

I raised my face slightly and said, "I just heard it clamoring for rubbing."

"Noelia, have you grown to the point where you can spit out a knife without changing your expression? Your teacher is very pleased."

"..."

What knife?

I didn't listen at all, I just guessed out of habit. Anyway, every time I wash it, it will definitely turn out like that. Or I will turn into that on my own initiative.

It's almost washed.

I turned my back to my master and sat in his arms.

My feet were wrapped in Master's legs, and I hugged my knees... and thought of the few strands of white hair I saw when I was washing Master's hair just now.

Everyone was praising Master's achievements.

It was discovered that the stone used to make magic stones could store magic power in a specific way after being exposed to light, and then convert it into various powers.

The house was washed away by heavy rain, and the master directly created concrete walls that ordinary aliens could not damage even if they tried their best. After the failure of the first expedition, the gun was replaced overnight with a weapon with a range of 1,000 meters, and the aiming accuracy was more than ten times higher.

……

Is it a compliment?
Master has such great wisdom that even when I just go out, many people bow down to me. They sincerely regard me as a god like Master.

No one noticed?

The master was very tired. His hair, which was originally pure, had a few strands of white.

"Hmm? I remember doing this before... oh, sorry, I remembered it wrong."

He asked me to stand on tiptoe with my feet slightly crossed.

Ok.

In the past month, Master has often made mistakes.

They said things like, "Huh? Were you still up there yesterday?", "Didn't you just stay up all night yesterday? You can't do it today.", "The belly button... must be the same as in the morning. Are you scared? The Master is having a lot of thoughts right now." And so on.

Some I remember.

Some of them never happened at all.

I am indeed stupid, but I am not so stupid that I still don't understand after considering so many things... I realized that Master had seen things like destroyers and soldiers and had gone back before, but Master was clearly by my side at that time and did not pass through the fog.

If the idea I heard was not false, and if Master said there was a way to extend time indefinitely...

I should know.

I have to know.

"..."

I held onto Master's back to prevent him from moving any further.

"Master."

The voice must have been trembling and crying.

"Ok?"

"You...have you been doing something very hard?"

"It's really hard to feed you."

"..."

That's not the case at all.

"No one... it's impossible for you to come up with such advanced technology in one day or one night. They all say you are a god. But that's not right. I know... I've always known it."

"A master is a master, a flesh-and-blood person. Not that smart."

"..."

"You mean, a teacher should be a little more idiotic?"

"Time... How did Master do it? The price..."

"No price."

"..."

"Just trust your teacher. Why are you crying? It really doesn't cost anything."

Deceiving.

If there is no cost, why does gray hair appear?
If there really weren't any, why... did cigarettes appear again?
"This."

"It just so happens that Pammy said there's a farm growing tobacco. It's not difficult to make, but it's very useful for refreshing me. Well... let's just assume that Master's willpower is not strong enough."

"..."

I think.

The master is the kind of person that Miss Moni and the others are talking about.

He likes to save face in front of women and will never pass on negative emotions to them... He is the most deceptive type.

But even if I get to the bottom of the truth, what can I do for my master?
It was just to prepare meals and prepare bath water... In my spare time, I would help the master with small things that he didn't have time to deal with. It was because of these small things that people knelt down to worship and admire me.

"By the way, don't you want to experience air conditioning heating?"

"This air conditioner is a little different from the one in my hometown, but it may be more useful and energy-efficient."

"Come on, experience the heating mode."

"..."

The wind blew out from the box in the corner. The room was getting hotter and hotter.

What exactly do I want to say?

Noelia doesn't need Master to keep working hard, it's okay for her to stay here alone and never see him again?
"Well... Master is sweating a lot."

I just sucked in those warm drops of water, and gave up thinking without observing the facts.

8 month 2 day.

It was a coincidence.

Since my master hadn't come back for a long time after mealtime, I planned to bring him some food.

"So, molecules... didn't I say that before? Just think of them as the basic substance that makes up magic."

"Compare that to a channel. How are my molecules different from yours, and how are they different from dead matter?"

"Dead things don't have any magic power, and they are smaller in size. If the passage is a very small door, then it is very likely... Extremely pure magic power = dead things that are small enough."

"..."

"Hasn't the formula already been explained? Why can't I remember it?!"

"..."

Master was furious in the meeting room. I had never seen him like this before.

"king……"

Someone raised his hand tremblingly. "Yesterday you talked about quantity issues, 0 and 1, 1 and 2... not the connection between magic and inanimate objects."

"I'm sorry, but with our intelligence... it's too difficult for us to follow your train of thought."

"..."

Master must be very disappointed, right?

That's why he sat dejectedly on the chair and waved his hand, asking them to go back first.

The blackboard in the conference room was covered with letters like x and y, which I could only understand. Those letters... In addition to teaching me arithmetic before, they also taught me English in the past two months. They said that I would be successful and I would definitely use it when I go back. I studied very hard and really learned English.

But does that really make sense?
"Noelia? Why are you here?"

"Master didn't come back for dinner, so I brought it here."

I put the lunch box in front of Master, and his expression had changed. It was completely different from the furious look just now, and now he was smiling.

"..."

I kept silent and moved to the master's back to rub his shoulders.

"If you don't know, you would think I have a maid."

"Noelia...was originally a maid, too."

I tried to understand the drawing next to the lunch box.

S=vt.

Speed ​​and likelihood of passing.

……

Does it mean that the faster you travel through time, the higher your success rate?

Should I be happy?
The master tried really hard and did his best to bring me back, to let me see air conditioning and foreigners with blond hair and blue eyes.

Ha ha.

But actually, when I get there, I will be the real foreigner, right?

so sad.

Why...my nose feels sore?

Master's hair has a few more strands of white. Miss Moni and the others said that being with a woman you like... should make you very happy.

Master likes me.

But why is it so hard to be with me?

8 month 29 day.

I read a book.

I don't know who wrote it, but it must be because of the prosperous town created by the master and the society where people don't have to worry about food and clothing that someone would have the leisure to write such a story.

Very simple story.

I also starred in it, which was adapted from the story of Green Snake and White Snake, but with the background set in Ichia City.

The two snakes gave up the chance to become immortals just to let the protagonist forget everything and live.

I stared out the window.

The street lights created by the master have been on for a long time. The sidewalks are paved neatly. Ichia City has become the most dazzling and eye-catching place in the country, no, the world. People who have been here say that it is more prosperous than any other royal capital.

"Wow—"

The first batch of cars that use magic stones as fuel have been manufactured. Rich businessmen are willing to spend huge sums of money to import them for research. Of course, there are also some that use them as a simple means of transportation.

After all, a four-wheeled vehicle looks much more classy than a horse-drawn carriage.

I stood at the window.

The styles of Yizhi Xiaonuo clothing store are the most fashionable, and everyone knows that it was opened by my master. There are more than a dozen chain stores in Ichia City alone. I heard that other big towns have at least two. Otherwise, people will say that if there is no "Yizhi Xiaonuo", what kind of city is it?

"Xiao Tia? The boss hasn't come back yet?"

"…Soon. Master has gone to the mines."

"Hey, how can the boss achieve so many results? He is in a high position and still does everything himself. Give me the deal... In such a short time, there is no way I can turn Ichia City into this."

"Ms. Moni, if you really like someone, what would you do?"

"What and how? Oh, little Tia is lonely again? That's easy. Wait for the boss to come back and tie him up while he's fast asleep... But be sure to pick a good time and don't delay the boss from doing his work."

"..."

I am not lonely.

It is better to say that I can feel that I am loved by Master at all times.

Therefore……

"Little Tia? Hey, wait... why are you crying?"

"Did you have a fight with your boss? Did he go out to play with Romina and the others and ignore you?"

"..."

If I really had been having sex with those alien girls, I might not be so sad.

8 month 29 day.

late at night.

During this period, Su Ming had no idea how many times he had tried the voyage. All of them had failed. He couldn't bring anything over.

Very doubtful.

With only the limited human brain, no matter how hard we try to recall and experiment to complete the theory, from 1+1=2 to quantum mechanics, can we really find the answer by reading the file?

Theoretically, time is infinite as long as you are in the game.

But if you want to test the voyage, you have to push it back a little bit, after all, each voyage takes half a month. You definitely can't read the save file to more than ten days ago.

But even so, it's still a lot of time, right? I can do enough experiments every time, and have enough expectations...

After coming back.

"Master, do you want to take a shower first?"

"Let's eat first... or."

"How about eating Noelia first?"

"..."

Where did you learn this from?

"Isn't this the character setting that Master discussed with the person who wrote that kind of Se Se book during dinner?"

"Have it?"

"Yes. Master said seriously that the characters in the book are supposed to say unrealistic lines. The more unrealistic and erotic the better."

"You heard wrong."

"I heard it right. Isn't Master very happy now?"

"..."

Yes.

I'm very happy. Putting aside a lot of long and complicated issues, at least I can sleep easily when I come back here.

Noelia is indeed amazing.

In such a long cycle time, there is almost no repetition.

"Master..."

"Ok?"

"……Love you."

It's rare to see her express her feelings so seriously. Maybe she learned this from me? She prefers actions over words.

So, I already know.

There is no need to wrap your feet so tightly.

8 month 30 day.

early morning.

Su Ming stood by the window and lit a cigarette.

Cigarettes made with things similar to tobacco in this world always taste a little bad, but they are usable.

All right.

Speed, volume, ultimate magic... etc., dozens of methods have been tried. Should I continue to delve into the method that I think is most likely, or find a new direction?

"Clap."

There were light footsteps behind me, and then a blanket was thrown over my shoulders.

"Still not asleep?"

"..."

Noelia was behind him, reaching out and gently stroking Su Ming's hair.

"Master... one third of his hair is white."

"It's probably because of the climate."

"..."

Her body was gently embraced from behind.

"Master has been married to Noelle for a long time, right? Ten or a hundred times more than Noelle knows."

"..."

"Master, how selfish."

"Noelia?"

Crunch.

Su Ming's legs were wrapped in ice crystals, which quickly spread to his chest.

Since when did the ice formed by Noelia become so solid?

"I hate this...it's not worth the hard work, Master."

“Shouldn’t Noellea bear half of the cost?”

Click.

Su Ming's head was the only thing that could move. Just as he was trying to break free.

The ice had all melted again, and the chill was bone-chilling.

"Noelle will also go on the next test flight. Noelle is the best test subject, right? If it succeeds... Master won't have to pay another price."

“There’s really no price to pay.”

"Master, if you keep on like this and get used to lying...Noelia will hate you. Really. Ugh..."

"..."

Does she want to go?

If you are in this mood, then it is fine. As she said, if you succeed, you don't need to reload the save file.

And Su Ming also concluded that the missing factor for success that time was Noelia. He was planning to experiment afterwards, but he didn't mention it for the time being because of her mood.

8 month 30 day.

early morning.

If I could tie up my master and send him over, I would definitely do it.

But I can't beat my master.

I guess... I can only calculate it, right?

In the master's mind, I, who have always been stupid, racked my brains to come up with a clumsy solution. I will definitely be scolded by the master.

But I have already written my diary.

The white-haired master is not handsome at all, I still prefer the black-haired master without any impurities. Just as the master likes my pure hair.

I had already cried in advance at home.

Family scandals should not be made public.

So, if I go there again, I won’t shed a single tear.

(End of this chapter)
