This villain, please exercise some restraint.

But before he could understand the operation process, the masked young man walking in front opened the spherical shortcut and motioned for him to follow.

Unlike the "Apocalypse" suspended elevator which was so smooth, the so-called "quick lane" of DD's ascent may have been too fast, or it may not have gone in a completely straight line, which made Ye Jiang quickly feel a nausea similar to motion sickness. .

But before this feeling of nausea fully emerged, the "fast lane" suddenly stopped, and then the closed circular door quickly opened.

"Arrived - top floor."

He heard a mechanical prompt.

The moment he stepped out, the door quickly closed again. Ye Jiang looked intently and finally understood why he felt sick.

If Apocalypse is a regular elevator, this thing is like a rather elastic ball. It’s just that I don’t know what technology is used to make this not light “ball” bounce accurately, land, and then bounce. way, reaching the top level more quickly.

Although the experience is not comfortable, it is undeniable that this design is, well... very childlike and very... imaginative.

It was hard not to remind him of the short figure he had glimpsed in the "world".

The masked young man was still walking in front silently. Ye Jiang came to his senses and followed him at a trot.

In front of an ordinary door, the masked young man stopped, then raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Inside the room, there was a quick response. It was a voice... that sounded very comforting.

The door seemed to have been left ajar.

Qi Dasheng's hand pushed it away with a slight push.

The boy with short light chestnut hair was lying in front of the table, writing something. When Qi Dasheng and Ye Jiang walked in, he raised his head, stood up, smiled and waved to the two of them.

"Aren't you just——"

Ye Jiang stepped forward, lowered his head and took a closer look at the short boy standing in front of him. The look of doubt flashed across his face.

"I must clarify that although the boss looks very similar to a certain game NPC, they are indeed not the same person."

The masked young man gave an explanation in due course.

Ye Jiang shook his head.

In fact, what he wanted to say was that in the "world", he had seen the boss in front of him.

"The World" also said that this little dwarf is the owner of the "Temperance Card".

"I have completed the mission, where is the reward?"

Ye Jiang didn't want to talk nonsense and directly stated the purpose of his trip.

"My friend An Xuke is still in danger. You must fulfill your promise quickly so that we can get together and part ways."

The short boy blinked, his brown eyes filled with clarity.

After staring at the big man in front of him for a moment, he smiled, then stretched out a hand, "Okay, now you can give me the temperance card."

This is exactly what Ye Jiang wants to hear.

Therefore, almost at the next moment, he couldn't wait to hand over the "Temperance" card with lavender light lingering from the space backpack.

The moment the "Temperance" card came into contact with the hand in front of him, the lavender light attached to the card followed the hand and swept across the body of the short boy in front of him at high speed.

The scene was magical, but... Ye Jiang didn't miss the cold sweat that quickly broke out on the forehead of the young man in front of him, reaching... his slightly frowning brows.

The feeling brought about by this card... doesn't seem to be pleasant.

The masked young man stared at the scene in front of him, without any fluctuation in his eyes.

After a few breaths, he saw confusion flash across the boss's clear pupils.

But soon, that dazed look disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The "Temperance" card in his hand briefly lit up, then quickly disappeared in his palm.

"Although I don't know whether this decision is right or wrong, now, I seem to have no choice."

The short boy stared at his empty palm and whispered to himself.

But soon, he raised his head and looked at the big man in front of him again.

"I remember, I promised to give you a pet."

"Now, reach out."

Ye Jiang stretched out his hand according to the words, but there was a little doubt on his face.

"Are you sure the pet you gave me can hold a hand down?"

he asked a little uncertainly.

Then, he saw the young man in front of him nodding with determination.

"Wait a minute, do I have a choice? In other words, I have a choice in appearance. Compared with pets that can be put down with one hand, I still like the kind of dragon, lion... that kind."

"If it doesn't work, a really cute one will do. My sister likes it very much."

He was a bit unwilling to give up.

Obviously, the person in front of him will not give him a choice, or in other words, the reward is fixed.

A strange insect with a milky white body, transparent wings, and some irregular lines on its back was gently placed on Ye Jiang's palm.

"This is--"

Ye Jiang stared at the slowly crawling insect in his hand, a little dumbfounded.

"What do you want...a particularly cute pet?"

The short boy replied seriously, "By the way, it's called Blank. It's white and fat. You'll like it at first sight."

"I spent a lot of energy raising it, and now I'm giving it to you. If you can get it from me, you can... well, secretly be happy."

The boy known as the boss said this, as if getting this insect was some kind of luck from heaven.

"...A-level can evolve super-advanced animal pets with max force value?"

"How does this bug fit the bill? Are you... a fraud?"

The white bug in his hand was still squirming. Ye Jiang resisted the urge to throw it away, raised his voice and asked.

"Is it fraud...how could it be? I never lie to people, but the results often require sacrifice. It——"

The boss said, looking at the bug in the young man's hand in front of him, "It is only in its initial form now, but I am very sure that it has great potential, and even to a certain extent, it can evolve into any form you want."

"Any form?"

Ye Jiang lowered his head and looked at the insect in his hand, his eyes were somewhat different.

"Yes, but this requires your deliberate guidance. For example, if you want a cat girl, you must often instill ideas into it. For example, you like cat girls very much, for example, what kind of cat girl do you like, and for example... a cat girl should Do something."

"All things are animistic. The bug in your hand is now the purest piece of white paper. Its cognition, its memory, and its past are all blank. Everything around it will affect it, and you... ..will be the most important colorer on this paper.”

"I believe that in this game world, you will not get a more interesting... pet. After all, raising... is also a kind of fun."

"Of course, if these are still not enough to impress you, then I will have to-"

The boss said, smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and was about to pick up the bug.

Ye Jiang immediately took two steps back and covered the bug in his palm.

"No, no need, I think this bug is better now!"

"Now that our mission rewards have been settled, I'll leave first. Goodbye... No, if there is nothing unexpected, it may be difficult to see him, then... he's gone!"

Ye Jiang said and walked quickly towards the door.

The short boy known as the boss smiled and sighed. He looked at the masked young man beside him who had remained silent. His harmless eyes paused suspiciously on him.

When their eyes met, they said, "Send him away from here first. You know, special passages can only be opened by insiders."

The boss said so.

The masked young man nodded and quickly walked out.
