Chapter 1992: Will Eventually Be Lost
That day, Xiao Feng spent his time very leisurely.
In the game world, although he also had quite a bit of free time, he wouldn't let himself truly idle; his mind constantly deduced laws and honed his will, never stopping.
If he went offline, although he could still do these things, psychologically he would slightly lower his attention due to the lack of visible quantified data in the game.
Only with his conscious rest does it count as genuine rest.
He took Jiang Ning and Dun Dun for a stroll around the neighborhood, had a meal and chatted with his parents, weeded and watered vegetables with Jiang Ning's grandmother, and exercised by running around the neighborhood with Dun Dun's mother.
These parents' online times are relatively short; the previously game-obsessed Xiao Qin Tian hasn't been logging on much lately either.
It's not that the game has become boring; mainly, the real world is more fun!
After the environment of Blue Star greatly improved, many cultivators began to appear, and the number of people with strong physiques kept increasing.
In the past two years, society encountered many problems, with considerable turmoil, but now it has stabilized.
The degree of parallelism between the game world and the real world is increasing; those who are strong in the game are generally not weak in reality either.
The Blue Star Grand Alliance and the governments of various countries jointly supervised and regulated, making the whole society now stable and much more rich and colorful than before.
Nowadays society no longer focuses solely on "money"; combat power and willpower are also indicators of striving, adding a bit of "jianghu spirit" compared to before, making many middle-aged and elderly people who had an unremarkable youth but now possess decent ability more willing to go out and adventure.
Furthermore, with Xiao Feng's deterrent power as the server's top player, his parents naturally are well taken care of.
The days in the real world are more moist than in the game.
Everyone's days are very leisurely and comfortable.
So leisurely that Dun Dun's mother, Xu Man Ying, even wants to return to work.
Jiang Ning's grandmother also feels bored every day, often going to the urban area for a stroll and walk to exercise her body.
It's rare for Xiao Feng to go offline, but the elders are very enthusiastic, insisting on having a lively meal together.
So they simply called Qing Feng Yan Yu and Xing Yun Miao offline as well; Zhang Fan and Li Li, that couple, also came over, and they enjoyed a hearty lunch outdoors.
……
"Sister Su Ni's craftsmanship is really getting better and better, I'm so envious~"
"Delicious, delicious, I feel I could still eat ten more dishes! My stomach now can really hold a lot!"
"Old Zhang, don't grab my shrimp! It's the last one!"
"Little Feng, don't just drink by yourself; toast your grandmother and mother-in-law."
"Little Yan, when are you and Old Zhang going to make a little person? And Little Yue, the Old Li family is counting on you!"
Under the towering Myriad Spirit Tree, a group of people ate and drank, laughed and played, the atmosphere relaxed and happy.
Upon hearing Qing Feng Yan Yu tease Yun Yan and Shen Jia Yue, Xiao Feng's mood became somewhat gloomy.
In three years of the game, the time he has actually experienced is no less than six or seven years. If you also count the time spent in dream enlightenment and time acceleration, it amounts to several hundred years.
His mindset has long been different from when he first entered the game.
At this moment, seeing his parents, mother-in-law, and grandmother these elders here, sharing a meal with them.
He couldn't help but imagine: how wonderful it would be if Ning'er and the others each held a child in their arms.
If he had children, he would definitely not play games every day.
Having played for so long, he would often log off to play with the baby, watching the child learn to walk and talk, gradually becoming sensible.
But……
All of this feels very distant.
Infinitely distant!
He is about to break through to become a ruler, while his wives have only just touched the threshold of the extraordinary.
Their physiques will be unable to meet his offspring's gestation needs; genes cannot match, and even if a mutant gene pairing succeeds, they cannot nurture due to insufficient energy, and the body will actively abort.
This is a problem even the Dao Ancestor cannot solve; it is the fundamental rule of cosmic creation, and unless one becomes a Creator God–like supreme being of material law, it cannot be changed.
Therefore, the ideal family happiness may never be realized.
Even if there is the slightest chance, it could only be in the game world……
Moreover, that child in the game would need to gestate for at least ten thousand years!
Xiao Feng couldn't help but think, perhaps this is the price of becoming powerful.
The strong are always lonely; the stronger one is, the fewer friends can walk alongside, and nearby relatives and friends will gradually age and depart.
After many years, he might end up alone, a solitary widower.
All that he possesses now will be lost bit by bit in the flow of time.
His parents, wife, brothers, and indeed everyone on this planet, if they cannot keep up with his pace, will eventually disappear from his world.
"Old Xiao, have a drink, why did you suddenly space out?" Li Li walked over with a wine bottle and patted his shoulder.
"Cough……"
Shen Jia Yue gave a dry cough, reminding him that there were elders present, so he shouldn't drive recklessly.
But the elders are all experienced people, actually they also
feel that there's nothing.
"Whatever, just scrap metal, one move and you're dead, I don't want to think about it, drink." Xiao Feng and Old Li clinked bottles and drained them in one gulp.
Everyone continued to eat and drink in a relaxed and happy manner.
"Senior, I want to go up the tree to see the scenery!" Dun Dun suddenly proposed the request to climb high.
Xiao Feng laughed: "Sure, just don't wet your pants from fear of heights."
Then, with one arm holding her, he lightened his body and flew up, directly reaching the top of the Myriad Spirit Tree, which is now over 450 meters high.
"Wahhhhh~ The wind is so strong!" Dun Dun screamed, clinging to him.
Actually, flying is something everyone is used to in the game, and there's nothing scary about it.
Arriving at the flat fork area on the treetop, Xiao Feng set the little loli down and said, "Take a look, the scenery is still pretty good."
Dun Dun looked around.
This is the highest point in Haizhou City District, higher than all buildings, where one can see the sea, the city, and the mountains, taking in the beautiful scenery.
She looked down and saw everyone looking up at the tree, and she greeted everyone.
Xiao Feng let her play for a while, then said, "Are we going down now?"
"We'll talk about it tonight," he replied lightly.
Under Dun Dun's excited gaze, he lifted her up and then set her back down on the ground.
