Chapter 73: God-Favored Game (Part 1)

Wang Laoshi asked, "I heard that during that Baiyao Cup, the Yuanzhou Clan appeared."

Regarding the footage of the Yuanzhou Clan, the authorities did not release anything; only rumors had leaked out.

"That is true. The Zerg in the arena were all cleared out by this member of the Yuanzhou Clan. My winning the championship that year wasn't because I was all that impressive; it was just a stroke of luck that my talent happened to counter the Zerg, so I managed to kill a few more."

Su Xi said this while looking at Xiao Mi.

Xiao Mi was rummaging through her Small Storage Bag, searching for some seasonings inside, as if she hadn't heard what they were saying.

She was more interested in gourmet food; as for other things, even if you asked her, she wouldn't necessarily answer. Yet, her actions sometimes often revealed a profound depth.

And such an Xiao Mi was merely a young cub who had been born not long ago.

So when she grows up, one can only imagine what kind of colossal existence she will be.

"Wang Laoshi, you didn't come here just for a home-cooked meal, did you?" Su Xi asked with a smile.

"Actually, a new game is about to descend upon Weilan Xing!" Wang Laoshi replied. "It hasn't been made public yet, but news has already leaked out."

"What game?"

"It's called—God-Favored Player."

Upon hearing this name, Xiao Mi immediately looked over.

Su Xi looked at her, "What's wrong, Xiao Mi?"

"Nothing, I'm looking for seasonings to use when Sister cooks later." Xiao Mi pulled a recipe out of her Small Storage Bag; it was something Su Mu had given her, and she had kept it well preserved.

Su Xi looked at the handwriting on the recipe; it was her father's. It must have been her mother reciting it while her father wrote it down...

"Xiao Mi, could you make a copy of this recipe and give me the original?" She no longer had any keepsakes left by her parents; this recipe was already extinct!

Xiao Mi looked at Su Xi, thought for a moment, and then took a food container out of her Small Storage Bag. "I'll copy it right now, and I'll also give you some braised meat made by Grandma Su."

Su Xi said gratefully, "Thank you."

Xiao Mi shook her head, "Sister, no need to thank me, this is only right."

Su Xi stroked her head, forcefully holding back the moisture swirling in her eyes!

"Are you alright?" Although he didn't know the inside story, Wang Laoshi could still see that Su Xi's emotions were fluctuating intensely.

Su Xi raised her head and smiled, "I'm fine. Let's continue with the previous topic, what kind of game is God-Favored Player?"

"The specific rules haven't been released yet, but it's said that this is a game from a higher civilization world, and there will even be players from higher civilizations descending upon Weilan Xing."

"What do you intend to do?" He shouldn't be telling her this news for nothing.

Wang Laoshi said, "I truly admire the strength of you and Da Miao, so before the God-Favored descent, I want to form a powerful team first—not the temporary kind, but a real team, one with mutual trust, a force twisted into a single rope."

"I might not necessarily play this game." Ge En had said in a previous mission that she would be leaving soon, so she had to keep up this excuse.

"What a pity. What about Da Miao?" Wang Laoshi looked at Ge En, who was still using Nita to appear as Su Xi; he had to recruit at least one of them.

Ge En replied, "I am very interested; I should participate in that God-Favored Player."

"That's great! We can form a team." Wang Laoshi reached out his hand, "Wang Weilin, my real name."

Ge En looked at Su Xi.

Su Xi nodded.

Only then did Ge En high-five Wang Laoshi, "Da Miao."

Afterward, Su Xi took charge of the kitchen and made a sumptuous feast; the group ate happily and joyfully.

Especially Xiao Mi, whose little belly was round as a ball from eating, and she eventually fell asleep in Su Xi's arms.

Wang Weilin left; he still had to go find other team members.

Ge En said, "Should I cancel the Nita? After the new game descends, the Nita chamber might very well become unusable."

"Hmm, you mentioned the name Ge En before, so let's call you Taiste from now on." Su Xi looked at Xiao Mi in her arms, patting her gently to help her sleep more comfortably.

"What about Xiao Mi?" Ge En asked.

Su Xi said, "She is just a child who loves to play, and she is quite lonely. Although she has family, it seems there is no one who can accompany her. If she is willing to follow us, we'll take her along to play; if she wants to go home, we'll let her."

"Xiao Mi is very cute and very well-behaved." Ge En also liked Xiao Mi.

Su Xi nodded, "She is very good. In the past, I also once thought about... it's nothing."

The memories that surfaced in an instant were ruthlessly thrown by her into the abyss of her memory!

The next day, when Xiao Mi woke up, she was lying on Su Xi's back.

Su Xi had returned to her own appearance and was performing the daily mandatory execution mission; today's mission was to catch twenty Jinban Fish.

She had already caught enough, but thinking that Xiao Mi might like to eat them, she caught a few more.

"Sister, I want to eat grilled fish." Xiao Mi's eyes sparkled as she stared at the Jinban Fish.

Su Xi smiled, "I knew you would want to eat, so I caught a few extra."

Xiao Mi hugged her neck, "Mm!"

Su Xi took a carton of fresh milk from the System Space; she had asked Er Miao to buy it from the System Mall. "I noticed you didn't bring a milk bottle this time; did you forget to bring it when you left home?"

Xiao Mi took the fresh milk and drank it gulp by gulp, "All the milk bottles Xiao Mi saved are finished. If I go home, I might be caught by my brother. My brother is very fierce when he gets angry, I'm scared~"

"Don't be afraid~ If your brother is here, Sister will teach him a lesson for you." Su Xi laughed.

Xiao Mi got down from Su Xi's back and stood on tiptoe to kiss Su Xi's face, "Sister is so good to me."

Su Xi gently pinched her smooth, baby-soft face, "As long as it's something Sister can do, just tell Sister."

Although Xiao Mi was not from Yunze Dalu, she had shared a memory with her, and in particular, her relatives all knew her, liked her, and treated her like family.

"Sister is even better than my own sister; I really wish you were my sister-in-law." Xiao Mi hugged her arm and acted spoiled.

【She really is her sister-in-law!】 Er Miao muttered.

【... Three years of silence?】

【Host, don't~ Er Miao knows she was wrong!】 Er Miao immediately cried and acted spoiled.

【This is the only time.】

【Yes!】

Su Xi patted Xiao Mi's head, "Sister does have requirements for her partner, but Xiao Mi's brother is definitely not suitable."

"Why?"

Su Xi said, "Our backgrounds are not a match!"

Xiao Mi blinked her large eyes, "What does it mean that our backgrounds are not a match?"

Su Xi patted her head, "It means the gap between the two families is too large, and they are not well-matched."

Xiao Mi replied, "When two people are together, isn't it enough just to like each other?"

"It takes more than just liking each other." Su Xi lifted the fishing rod, and a fat fish with shimmering gold spots hung on the hook.

She placed the fish into another bucket, "Wanting to become partners is actually not easy; you will understand when you grow up."

Xiao Mi nodded, seemingly understanding yet still confused.
