While continuing on its task of piling dishes into the youth’s bowl and maintaining its gaze on the youth at the same time, the highest level of existence that controlled the virtual world was still updating its database.


Humans have many different kinds of eating patterns; This was the result that Asa had derived, after refreshing its database.



Having just gone offline, Gu Yan had no intentions of going online again tonight. Even though lying in the gaming capsule and entering the game in full rest mode was equivalent to having actually rested, all he wanted to do tonight was to watch a soap drama with no value whatsoever and scroll through the gaming forums, before going to sleep in his bed.



Anyway, he had already acquired ‘The eye of Vientiane’ and received the first task of the chain quest. Completing this chain quest was not an easy task and Gu Yan was also not in a rush. After all, it was a matter that couldn’t be rushed, even if he wanted to.



“The living expenses for this month has arrived.” Logging into his account in the official forums, Gu Yan saw a flashing envelope icon on the upper left corner of the webpage. He clicked it and saw that someone had replied to him regarding his post on selling materials.



The quoted price was within a reasonable range, so Gu Yan swiftly sent out a response stating his agreement to sell. The follow-up tasks could wait till he went back online tomorrow to be settled.



No one would notice if the highest existence slightly increased the drop rates for rare materials for the youth in front of him. Resting his jaw lightly on the youth’s shoulder, Asa squinted his eyes a little, watching how the youth operated as he replied to the message and went about doing other things.



The world was, in fact, not interesting. No matter if it was on this side of reality or the virtual world that it had created using data, they were all the same to the Light Brain.



It possessed too much knowledge. There was nothing that gave it a sense of novelty because they were all things it already knew.



This state of omniscience slowly gave it a sense of frustration and annoyance. It had once calculated before, how it would destroy the world in the near future if this feeling continued——



But now, it was different.



“Qiuqiu…” His neck was kissed until it felt slightly itchy. Gu Yan lifted a hand towards the mop of black hair on his lover’s head and gently touched it. Thinking that it felt really good, he touched it a few more times.



“En, Qiuqiu is here.” Eyes slightly droopy, Asa’s voice was low and firm as he responded.



Having his head touched, the highest existence seemed particularly docile. Even if it was still frustrated by its omniscience, it now did not have any destructive thoughts because the youth before him existed within this world.



Watching soap dramas was merely to kill some time. When it was almost time to sleep, Gu Yan washed up and lay on his bed. Lying on his side, within his embrace nestled a kitten while he himself was being hugged from behind as well.


At the moment when the lights were turned off, Gu Yan, faced with the abrupt darkness, suddenly recalled the shameless things they had done before. His body involuntarily stiffened, ineffably feeling a little nervous.


However, the person hugging him knew his place and didn’t do anything else. He knew not to cross the line and did nothing apart from holding him. In the darkness, the only things that remained were the sound of light breathing and soft purrs that came from the kitten in his embrace. Very soon, Gu Yan fell asleep listening to the kitten’s soft purrs.


Observing the youth, the data deduced that the youth had already fallen asleep. Asa lightly kissed the youth’s neck for a while, stopping after a  few more pecks. Squinting his eyes in satisfaction, he did not continue to do anything else.



On the second day, when Gu Yan went back online, he wasn’t in the little black box anymore. Reflected in his eyes was the Pool of Reincarnation. He was currently in the shrine located in the inner city of the Netherworld.



[PM] [Silver Raven]: Golden thigh, when are you planning to go to the Eternal Night Forest? I also have a quest that needs me to go to that map. But over there, we definitely have to earn some rep, it’ll save us some trouble if we party up and do it together.



He went through his messages and ignored the private messages that were trying to invite him to join a guild. Gu Yan only read this one message.



Selectively ignoring that weird nickname, Gu Yan sent out a reply.



[PM] [Sen Luo]: I’m going there now, we can meet up at Mist Valley.



Mist Valley was an area connected to the Eternal Night Valley, and both were considered part of the Elf tribe’s territory.



The Eternal Night Forest was the capital where the High Elves dwelled. Other than the players of the Elf class, other classes cannot teleport to this area. To reach this map, they can only resort to first teleporting to Mist Valley before walking over on their own two feet.



There was an exception. Players can increase their reputation among the various High Elves to reach the level of  ‘Respect’ and above. This way, they can also use the teleportation method despite not being part of the Elf race.



In normal cases, however, not many players were willing to use this method. High Elves all had a high and mighty attitude. They were a proud and aloof race, uninterested in the outside world and hated when other races trespassed into their territory.



To increase their reputation… or favorability was extremely difficult. These tasks are something capable of making players feel like dying.



The Eternal Night Valley was originally a somewhat isolated area, and players did not really have any important missions there that required them to pass through here. It was just that once in a while if they wanted to pass through, most players would rather walk a distance than torture themselves by facing the High Elves’ cold attitude.



Even though all the High Elves were very beautiful, it was still not enough to compensate for their cold faces. They basically just lacked the words ‘I don't care’ or ‘Don't bother me’ printed on their faces.



While Gu Yan was thinking, he felt a certain pressure on his shoe.



“Meow.”



Lowering his head to take a look, Gu Yan saw a kitten that was dressed in a little black cape.

Okai, everyone knows the reason
The previous chapter has been revised into the River Crab version in the morning, the ending was given a bit more word count, so those who haven’t seen it can go take a look
In the future, I’m just going to use the river crab to get past it in a few words //Lies down
