[T/N Annoucement:
Ahem—this humble one has dared to translate a new tale: "The Player with Hack in the Marvel World." Yes, you read that right. One player, one cheat-level hack system, and a whole multiverse of trouble (and Tony Stark ego) to stir up.
Your support fuels this daoist soul. 🙇♂️✨]
Qiu Xue and Qiu Yue looked at Childe sitting on the ground.
"Besides, a child's dreams are fragile things."
"Even if left alone, they'll shatter someday."
"So, someone must protect them, right?"
Childe explained with a smile, noticing Qiu Yue confused gaze.
"Promises made should be properly kept and when mistakes are made, proper apologies should follow."
"The dreams we give them should be cherished until the end."
"This is how family should be, that's all."
Childe explained with his head lowered...
"Cough, cough... ugh..." Childe coughed weakly.
"Mr. Tartaglia..."
Qiu Yue crouched down, feeling sympathetic seeing Childe in such a state.
Just as she was about to reach out to heal him, Qiu Xue stopped her with a hand.
"Let me do it."
Qiu Xue said with a smile to her sister beside her.
Then she extended her hand, and white divine power continuously flowed toward Childe.
"So warm..."
"This is..."
Childe murmured in surprise at the white energy beside him.
Soon after, Childe felt his injuries and strength completely restored.
"I didn't expect both of you sisters..."
"Would be capable of wielding this technique."
Childe stood up, dusting himself off, and smiled at Qiu Xue in front of him.
"Thank you both."
Tartaglia covered his chest with one hand and thanked them sincerely.
"You shouldn't push yourself so hard in the future."
"If we weren't here, you might have lost your life."
Qiu Xue said slowly, looking at Childe standing before her.
She was right—after the Golden House incident, Childe condition shouldn't have been this poor.
"Lost my life?"
"Surely it wasn't that serious..."
Childe muttered in confusion, rubbing his chin.
"It seems..."
Qiu Xue frowned slightly, touching her chin with her jade hand, murmuring.
"Sister, did you sense it too?"
Qiu Yue asked with furrowed brows, looking at Tartaglia in front of her.
"Yes, I sensed it."
Qiu Xue nodded to Qiu Yue beside her.
"Sense? Sense what?"
Childe scratched his head, looking confused at the two beautiful women before him.
He was clearly alive and well, so why were they saying he was close to death?
"Mr. Tartaglia."
"Please don't move."
Qiu Yue gentle face suddenly turned serious as she looked at Childe.
"Uh, okay, I won't move!"
Childe, startled by Qiu Yue sudden seriousness, stood frozen in place.
This woman was a god, after all.
It was the first time he had seen Qiu Yue with such an expression.
Qiu Yue nodded to Qiu Xue, then crouched down.
She removed a strange small black stone from Childe's body.
"Mr. Tartaglia."
"May I ask what this is?"
Qiu Yue asked with surprise, holding the small black stone in her jade hand.
"This... this is."
"This was given to me by the Doctor before the Golden House operation began."
"He said it was one of the materials used to create the Evil Eye, capable of enhancing my power."
Childe explained, rubbing his chin while looking at the black stone in Qiu Yue hand.
"Ajax, this is something good that can enhance your power."
"The chances of success for this operation will increase significantly."
Childe vaguely remembered the Doctor's words to him.
"Is there a problem with this black stone?"
"Miss Qiu Yue?"
Childe asked with confusion, rubbing his chin as he looked at Qiu Yue serious face.
"Mr. Tartaglia, do you know that this stone..."
"Has been frantically draining your lifespan?"
Qiu Yue murmured, looking at the black stone in her hand.
"So that's what happened."
"Back then at the Golden House, Childe power increased so much—it was because of this thing."
Qiu Xue recalled the scene.
The giant whale Childe had summoned was so much stronger than before.
It seemed it wasn't because her sister had extended Childe lifespan.
The Evil Eye itself wouldn't have such severe side effects on Vision holders.
"It seems this Fatui Harbinger called the Doctor..."
"Is truly a villain beyond redemption..."
Qiu Yue crushed the black stone in her jade hand, her gaze turning ice-cold.
It seemed even the gentle Qiu Yue was furious.
When she first met Mr. Tartaglia, she felt something strange—as if something was draining his lifespan.
She never expected it was the work of this villain called the Doctor.
"Miss Qiu Yue, doesn't your hand hurt?"
Childe stared wide-eyed in shock at Qiu Yue.
He hadn't expected that such a delicate woman could crush a stone with one hand.
Even Qiu Xue frowned slightly.
It was also her first time seeing her normally calm and composed sister become angry.
"The Doctor..."
"I never imagined he was such a dangerous person."
"I'll remember this. Thank you, Miss Qiu Xue and Miss Qiu Yue."
Childe took a deep breath after carefully recalling everything, then sincerely thanked the two kind women before him.
"Tartaglia, don't think about taking revenge on the Doctor."
"Given his strength, it's best to stay away from him."
Qiu Xue warned with a frown as she looked at Childe.
"Hahaha, don't worry."
"The Fatui Harbingers are ranked by strength, and I'm not that foolish."
Childe laughed as he spoke to Qiu Xue.
"Mr. Tartaglia, please close your eyes."
Qiu Yue said coldly, looking at the black fragments in her hand.
"What, what's wrong?"
Childe didn't know what to say when faced with the cold Qiu Yue.
But he still obediently closed his eyes.
Then he felt something soft touch his forehead.
Qiu Yue pressed one hand against Childe forehead, white divine power emanating from her palm.
"That's done, Mr. Tartaglia."
"Please open your eyes now."
Qiu Yue smiled as she spoke to Tartaglia in front of her.
"Miss Qiu Yue, what did you do to me?"
"I feel filled with power."
Childe said in disbelief, looking at his hands.
"Sigh..."
"Qiu Yue has restored the lifespan you lost. Please be careful in the future with whatever you encounter."
Qiu Xue explained slowly to Tartaglia after sighing.
"Please allow me to express my sincere gratitude..."
"Thank you, Miss Qiu Yue."
Childe looked at Qiu Xue and smiled gratefully after hearing her explanation.
"It's nothing. I just feel that Mr. Tartaglia is a good person."
"Exceptionally good to his brother and to his friends."
"Mr. Zhongli once said that such friends are worth keeping."
Qiu Yue extended her jade hand, smiling at Tartaglia.
Childe hands still had dust from the battle.
Just as he was about to clean them with his Hydro element before shaking hands,
He saw Qiu Yue immaculate hand extend forward once more.
"Uh..."
"Miss Qiu Yue."
Childe looked up blankly at the smiling Qiu Yue.
Then he chuckled softly.
And took Qiu Yue jade hand.
"Having a friend like you..."
"The honor is mine, miss Qiu Yue."
Childe said with a smile, holding Qiu Yue hand.
