However, Ke Ning seemed to have prepared an antidote. After taking it, Ye Chuan shrank back to his original size.
"Want to try any other potions?" Ke Ning asked.
Ye Chuan remained silent.
Forget it.
"Enough, enough, no need," Ye Chuan gave up. "But why do you have such strange pills?"
Ke Ning replied, "I was inspired by a manga recently, so I developed them."
"What manga?"
"It's about a detective who is poisoned by the mafia and turns into an elementary school student detective."
"Right, I think I know what that is." Ye Chuan waved his hand, not having expected that Ke Ning could actually concoct such weird things.
Then Ye Chuan looked at the several pieces of equipment around him. "What are all these for?"
"Just devices I tinker with in my spare time." Ke Ning pointed to one of the instruments.
"That's a Dream Consciousness Guidance and Interference Device. It can use consciousness to create a dream memory world. But it's currently a half-finished product, and I haven't figured out how to use it yet."
"You're always messing around with these strange things," Ye Chuan said with a glance. "If you don't know how to use it, you could just sell it."
"Sell it?" Ke Ning adjusted his glasses. "I'm not short on research funding for now, but it's not out of the question."
Ye Chuan waved his hand and, seeing that Ke Ning couldn't help him, left the room directly.
Seeing Ye Chuan leave the room, Ke Ning just slightly raised his hand.
"Hmm, what a pity. I still wanted a hug."
......
......
Ye Chuan returned to his own room and simply changed his clothes. Because nothing fit properly, Ye Chuan even used the forging interface to handcraft a set of magical clothing to wear.
Having this function really is convenient.
Lilith was the real culprit. Ye Chuan originally wanted to find her, but for some reason, Lilith had been deliberately avoiding him since that kiss and hadn't appeared all day.
"Forget it. Lilith said she'd recover on her own after a while anyway, so no point dwelling on it." Ye Chuan lay down on the bed, glanced at the ceiling, and considered whether to enter the Tianxuan Continent later.
But the problem was his current physique—
He was already young, and now he had turned into a little boy. How was he supposed to do business like this?
"Forget it, I'll just say I've reversed aging. Those guys can't beat me anyway, so why worry? Making money is what matters." Just as Ye Chuan was murmuring to himself, he heard the sound of the door unlocking.
Looking sideways, he saw Luo Xi walking in, sneaking around like a thief. "Chuan Chuan~"
She was still wearing a lace nightgown, almost see-through, and she directly slipped under the covers. Ye Chuan soon felt a warm embrace holding him.
"Hehe." In his ear, there was Luo Xi's light, playful laugh. "Chuan Chuan is so cute~"
Ye Chuan: "..."
"Is it that cute? It's not like you haven't seen me as a kid before," Ye Chuan said helplessly.
"But didn't you say I was cute too when I shrank before?" Luo Xi blinked.
"Well, that's true..." Ye Chuan couldn't refute that. After all, they had all been affected by Lilith's magic before, turning everyone in the house into lolis.
Little Luo Xi was indeed quite cute back then.
Never thought the day would come when he'd become little Ye Chuan.
"Let me hold you, Chuan Chuan."
Hearing Luo Xi's coquettish voice, Ye Chuan had no choice but to let her hold him in her arms. He didn't know if it was because he had become smaller, but the water pillows seemed to have gotten bigger.
After lying on them for a while, he suddenly heard Luo Xi whisper, "Chuan Chuan~ want to play a game?"
"What game?"
"Racing." Luo Xi took out a controller, smiling. "Chuan Chuan, do you want to try driving a big car?"
"This feels a bit strange, just like last time." At this point, Ye Chuan wasn't exactly opposed to the idea.
"Come on~" Luo Xi gave Ye Chuan a peck on the cheek.
Seeing that Luo Xi had already grabbed the controller, Ye Chuan had to let her take charge. He himself picked up the other two controllers and started operating.
They usually played a lot of games together. He didn't know if it was because he had become a child, but Luo Xi seemed particularly excited today, as if determined to defeat him.
But obviously, even though Ye Chuan had turned into a little boy, his skills were still there. His gaming prowess remained top-notch, and he soon beat Luo Xi soundly.
After all, in gaming, Ye Chuan had already achieved a grand slam. Luo Xi alone was no match for him.
"Mmm, I can't do it again." Seeing that she was completely outmatched by Ye Chuan, Luo Xi suddenly whimpered. "How are you still this good?"
"What did you expect?" Ye Chuan said with a smile, holding the controller. "Want to beat me?"
"Mmm, I wanted to see you crying and begging me for mercy," Luo Xi pouted. "And hear you say, 'Sister Luo Xi, please spare me.'"
"Hmm?" Ye Chuan raised an eyebrow.
"Mmm."
Just then, the door opened, and another head peeked in. It happened to be Lan Xiaoke. "Huh? You guys are having fun."
Seeing it was Lan Xiaoke, Luo Xi simply waved her over. "I can't do it. Xiaoke, come and take down Chuan Chuan. You're much better at games than I am."
"Hehe~" Seeing Ye Chuan beating Luo Xi into submission, Lan Xiaoke immediately locked the door. "I'll help you!"
Unable to beat Ye Chuan, Luo Xi directly called for backup. The silly white-haired Lan Xiaoke immediately joined the battle, and her gaming skills were far superior to Luo Xi's.
It was completely her forte. After all, when she wasn't playing with Ye Chuan before, she played by herself and even used various peripherals to assist.
"Ha, watch my elastic shake!" As soon as Lan Xiaoke took the controller, she started with a big move, instantly suppressing the unfavorable situation.
"Not bad." Seeing Lan Xiaoke immediately take the upper hand, Ye Chuan controlled his racer and chose a familiar map to run on.
After all, this was a battle between two highly skilled players. Plus, Ye Chuan, being shrunk, wasn't as familiar with the controls. After a few back-and-forths, Lan Xiaoke won several rounds in a row.
And Lan Xiaoke's performance today was exceptionally fierce too. It was as if she was on some kind of stimulant, even getting a bit wild.
"Hehehe, little Ye Chuan, not so tough now, are you?" Lan Xiaoke giggled. There hadn't been many chances to beat Ye Chuan like this before, but now she had a three-win streak.
You have to understand, when Ye Chuan got serious before, it was hard to win even a single round.
"Hah, just a few losses. Let me get used to the controls again," Ye Chuan said. "Another round!"
"Huh? Still not convinced?" Lan Xiaoke lowered her voice. "If the baby loses, he drinks milk obediently, okay?"
"Fine, I'll drink." Ye Chuan glanced over.
It wasn't like he couldn't handle losing.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
