Suihan’s eyes slightly closed, “Are you afraid of entering this horror zone and facing the horror side quests?”
Song Jinshi felt a surge of their past connection upon hearing this, pouting as he playfully complained to the man.
“I’m going to be scared to death.”
Suihan reached out and gently caressed his cheek, his tone full of tenderness.
“If you’re afraid, then why hide from me?”
“I can’t just kill you like those monsters, or do you think I’m just like one of those monsters?”
Song Jinshi grabbed the man’s hand that was caressing his face, shaking his head, “I’m sorry, I was just scared back then.”
After a pause, he continued, “Before, whenever I ran away and you caught me, you would…”
“So I’m afraid you’ll do the same this time. Back then, I was a demon lord, and my body was naturally strong, but now I’m just an ordinary person. I can’t handle you.”
Suihan looked at Song Jinshi gently.
“Don’t be afraid of me, Xiang. I crossed countless timelines to find you. How could I bear to bully you again? Just promise me you won’t hide from me anymore. Don’t let me lose you.”
With the man’s promise, Song Jinshi quickly revealed his true nature.
He slapped the man’s hand away, mumbling in complaint.
“Why are you so strong? You’ve hurt me.”
After complaining, he pondered the man’s current situation.
He couldn’t keep him here forever.
Even if he stayed here, if he went back to the side quest, what if the man thought he was hiding again?
After thinking it through, Song Jinshi decided to ask the little assistant.
“Little Assistant, how should we handle Suihan? We can’t keep him in the player base forever, right? Besides, he isn’t even a player.”
“Host, as long as he’s considered a player, it’s fine!”
“I can help you register him as a player. Then he can stay here naturally and even accompany you in side quests!”
Song Jinshi: Thanks, but I don’t want him to accompany me in side quests.
Still, he couldn’t let him be an illegal resident at the player base, right? Plus, he didn’t know if the base would detect outsiders, so to be safe, it was better to register him.
“Little Assistant, go ahead with the registration.”
After saying that, Song Jinshi informed Suihan that he had obtained an identity for him, allowing him to stay here permanently, although he would need to participate in side quests regularly.
“I can go on side quests with you.”
Suihan didn’t ask how he resolved the registration issue, his cool gaze fixed on him without blinking.
Song Jinshi wanted to refuse the man but feared offending him. “It’s possible, but the fixed side quest only allows you to go once a month alone; you can’t choose it yourself.”
…
After he finished the side quest, He Zhou had been searching for Song Jinshi’s figure in the game center.
“Boss, we’re over here.”
A man with a full beard waved from the car, directing He Zhou, who was unsure of what he was looking for.
He Zhou approached his team members, feeling somewhat irritated.
He should have discovered his wife’s player identity earlier, or he should have bound him sooner. Even though it wasn’t like binding an NPC, at least he could sense his location instead of wandering around like a headless fly.
The bearded man noticed He Zhou’s annoyance.
“What’s wrong, boss? Did something happen in this side quest?”
He Zhou sat in the car and told his teammates, “Help me find someone.”
“A player who went on this side quest with me, named Song Jinshi.”
His teammates nodded in agreement, “Don’t worry, boss, we’ll find him as soon as possible.”
“Mm.”
He Zhou leaned back in his seat, closing his eyes for a short rest.
Although this side quest was not particularly dangerous, it felt the most exhausting for him.
He had to constantly pay attention to not expose his identity and feared others would covet his little wife.
Unexpectedly, he was still targeted by other dogs in the end.
“Also check for someone named Yuan Wen.”
He wanted to see who was stronger in the player base, Yuan Wen or himself.
“Boss, I know this person; he’s also on the leaderboard like you.”
“His rank seems to be about the same as yours.”
A teammate in the back seat tapped his forehead, recalling who He Zhou was talking about.
“But somehow, that name ‘Song Jinshi’ sounds familiar.”
He knocked on his head and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, excitedly slapping his thigh.
“Boss! I know that Song Jinshi too!”
“Before you went on a side quest, a player jumped to eighth place on the leaderboard, and I think he was called Song Jinshi. It’s said he’s even named after the number one in the love zone!”
“Boss, you should pay more attention to the leaderboard and news. Like me, I can surf the forum every day and know everything!”
He Zhou scoffed, “Oh really? Then go surf the forum and arrange information on ten side quests.”
The other man wailed, “No, boss, I’m sorry! Gathering information on ten side quests will cost me my life!”
