Online game: As a dad, it’s reasonable to hit 999 with one hit, right?

"When the game started and everyone descended on the Land of the Hunting God, I was just an ordinary girl on Earth. My name wasn't Xiaoyun, but Chu Xiaoyun.

But unlike you ordinary people, I am not a normal person. I... I am actually only seven years old."

When he said this, Xiaoyun raised his head and glanced at Lin Chen.

As she expected, although she couldn't see his expression clearly, she could feel that Lin Chen was very confused.

A beautiful woman who looks graceful and elegant, at least in her twenties... but she says she is only seven years old?

Lin Chen wanted to interrupt, but he let the other party continue speaking.

"Have you ever considered that, not to mention other worlds, even on Earth alone, out of a population of nearly 10 billion, at least a quarter of us haven't even reached adulthood, excluding adults and the elderly." Xiaoyun spoke calmly. "But so far, as a second-round player, have you ever seen a single child in this God-hunting Land?"

Lin Chen finally became a little uneasy.

That being said...

Xiaoyun was indeed right. Whether in the previous life or now, the youngest person he had ever seen... was actually the girl named Zhizi from his regular team!

But Gardenia told herself that she had already reached adulthood before entering the Land of the Hunting God.

So, what about the children?

Almost a quarter of the total population are underage children, even some children and babies...

Whether it is humans, elves or other races, why has no child been seen?

Lin Chen couldn't help but turn around and face the NPC who started calling himself Chu Xiaoyun.

"Go on." Lin Chen said in a low voice, "I'm listening."

"You're a smart person, you should be able to guess something." Xiaoyun laughed. "Yes, those children won't enter the Land of the Hunting God in the same form as when they arrived in the game. Instead, a special force will 'ripen' them... Do you understand this?"

"I can probably understand." Lin Chen nodded: "But...how do we ripen it?"

"I don't know." Xiao Yun answered simply: "I only remember that I was a seven-year-old child, but after I entered the Land of the Hunting God, I became what I am now."

Xiaoyun spread her arms and turned around again. In order to show off her proud figure, she did not forget to take a step back or two so that Lin Chen could see her clearly.

"I can vaguely remember everything about my life on Earth. My dad and I were touring scenic spots, and I can still vividly remember the scene of people locking small locks on the wishing locks like others."

Xiaoyun's voice was a little low. "But I also feel like I've unknowingly lived at least a dozen extra years. I have an adult in my head. I mean, I have all the knowledge an adult on Earth should have, and my ability to accept some things is no longer at the level of a child. In short... I am a completely adult woman who has lived for over 20 years."

When Xiaoyun said these words, there was a hint of absurdity in his tone that even he himself could hardly believe.

He stared at Lin Chen: "I'm sorry, I can't describe this feeling. I clearly feel like I've lost more than ten years, but I still think of myself as a seven-year-old child."

After saying this, Xiaoyun sighed and stopped talking.

Not only the person who was speaking, but also Lin Chen who was listening to these things felt it was extremely absurd.

A child, when entering the Land of Hunting God, was inexplicably trapped for more than ten years by a mysterious force?

Moreover, that power also allows these children to have the cognition and values ​​that they should have when they grow up.

It’s as if they have really grown from children to what they are today.

Ridiculous? No... this is sheer bullshit!

But now that I am in the land of hunting gods, what can't I accept?

Lin Chen was silent for several minutes. Finally, he stretched out his fingers and tapped slowly on the table.

"Boom."

Lin Chen said, "So that man is your father?"

Xiaoyun suddenly raised her head, and almost instantly walked forward and stood close to Lin Chen.

“You…you saw…saw…”

Lin Chen looked at the other person indifferently, and his mind recalled the note he saw on the wish lock railing.

[I'm sorry, I can't seem to accompany you for the last part of the journey.]

Lin Chen didn't want to dwell too much on these issues. He just needed to tell the other party everything he saw.

But what Xiaoyun just told him was indeed very important information. When he thought about the fact that the woman standing in front of him was only a seven-year-old child... he felt a little strange.

"Is there anything else you haven't told me?" Lin Chen asked.

Xiao Yun: "First, tell me what you meant by that sentence. Did you meet someone?"

Lin Chen took a step back. "You shouldn't have that attitude when asking someone to do something for you. Now that you're an adult, that mysterious power should have instilled into you the principles of how to behave in society."

Xiaoyun was slightly stunned, and then the momentum continued to weaken.

"I……"

She sighed, "Okay, I'll tell you."

"Before we arrived at the Land of the Hunting God, about a week ago, my father and I came to the mountain where the wishing locks were made. He said he wanted to leave a memory of us on that railing. He planned to write down everything that was in our hearts between father and daughter on a slip of paper and then keep it secret from each other."

"But the next day, I never saw him again. It was as if he had vanished from the face of the earth..." Xiaoyun trembled as he spoke. "My parents divorced when I was very young, and my dad raised me. He worked as a delivery driver, and during those years, before and during kindergarten, he would take me with him on his deliveries... He kept telling me he was sorry for not giving me a good life. I guess he thought I didn't understand, and he was right... How could a three-year-old remember what he said?"

"He delivered food during the day, and helped me with my homework and cooked for me at night. He would continue to take me with him on Sundays... This continued until I was seven years old..."

"I just remember that he often coughed and couldn't sleep at night..."

"Come to think of it, on the morning he took me to the scenic area, he seemed to have gone to the western part of the city. I remember I delivered takeout there with him. The Municipal People's Hospital is in Xicheng District..."

"I tried to go back to the wishing lock railing at the scenic spot to see what he wrote for me..."

"My guardian became my aunt, and she wouldn't let me go that far..."

"Seven days... Seven whole days. My father disappeared... He didn't want me anymore."

Her voice became quieter and quieter, as if she was talking to herself.

"Sir, can you tell me now who you met, or...what did he write on that note?"

There was a silence around.

With Xiaoyun's face full of anticipation, Lin Chen gradually spoke.

"The note says..."

Xiaoyun's breathing became rapid.

"It says..." Lin Chen paused, then continued, "It says: I will walk the rest of the way with you."

Lin Chen spoke in a very flat tone, and since the other party couldn't see Lin Chen's expression, what he said seemed extremely real.

There seemed to be tears welling up in Xiaoyun's eyes.

She covered her mouth, as if she wanted to say something.

"Perhaps, he had something he needed to do that forced him to leave you for a short time." Lin Chen knew what the other party wanted to say and continued, "Don't worry, he will be fine."

……

Meanwhile, Earth.

A knight is currently sitting on a bench halfway up the mountain in the scenic area.

There was a long iron railing on the side of him, with locks of various shapes hanging on it, and each lock had a piece of paper on it.

The knight sat on the bench in a daze, his eyes seemed to drift to the distant mountains, or perhaps fixed on the railing.

He seemed to have been here for a long time. A gust of wind blew and the man came back to his senses.

He slowly took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

On the note, there was a crooked handwriting that looked like a child's.

Some unfamiliar characters were scribbled over and corrected, and even two characters were replaced with pinyin.

It says.

【I hope to live happily with my father forever! 】
