"Let's gooo! Kafka's banner is out today! Mom! I'm coming to pull for you, Mom!"
Dogzi hugged his life-sized Wende body pillow, a crazed look on his face as he clicked into the Star Rail game interface. His man-eating expression terrified everyone in the livestream chat.
[Newbie here, does this streamer eat children?]
[Veteran here. Just got eaten.]
[The streamer isn't picky!]
[Wuwuwu! That body pillow! Link please!]
[I feel like that body pillow is missing something... (sips tea)]
"Awoooo Kafka! Kafka! Kafka!"
The hyped-up Dogzi frantically logged into the game. After collecting his daily Express Supply Pass rewards, he was about to click into Kafka's banner to become a Trailblazer with both parents!
Ding~
The sound of a text message snapped Dogzi out of his frenzy.
Wende: You free?
"..."
Hiss!
The crazed look in Dogzi's eyes instantly cleared... This... This was a text from Godfather!
I am Wende's dog!
Me: Yes!!
Wende (Quit Game): I've been getting a bit bored lying in bed recently. Can you take me out for a walk?
I am Wende's dog!
Me: Of course!
Wende (Quit Game): Great. I'll be waiting for you at the Alchemy Commission.
After the conversation with Wende ended, a purple quest marker slid out from the side of the screen.
"Holy crap! Godfather's Companion Mission! Bros! It's Godfather's Companion Mission!!!"
Dogzi yelled in delighted surprise, instantly throwing all thoughts of pulling for Kafka to the back of his mind. He couldn't wait and immediately teleported from Herta's office to the Alchemy Commission.
[It's Godfather! It's Godfather's Companion Mission!]
[Damn, I never expected that out of the starter trio, Wende would be the first to get a Companion Mission!]
[Please tell me it's still little Wende. I would be so down for that!]
[Kafka: Are you people being polite?]
[Sorry, Mom, but he's my shota Godfather, I...]
[Alright, alright, wipe your drool!]
[Ah~ I want to see little Godfather standing on a stool, gently stroking my head while I rub myself all over his tiny delicate waist...]
[This user has been banned.]
[Super Moderator: No rubbing! I'll do the rubbing!]
After arriving at the Alchemy Commission, Dogzi controlled the Trailblazer and followed the quest marker, finding little Wende standing by a railing, looking at the Ambrosial Arbor.
"Hehehe! It really is my cute little Godfather! Let big sister dote on you properly!!"
Dogzi let out a strange cry and then pounced!
---o---
"Sigh... Why did I set my Companion Mission for the second half of version 1.2? I know it was to ride Kafka's popularity, but I never expected it to turn out like this..."
Wende sighed, looking down at his own small, fair, and delicate hands.
"I hope this Companion Mission goes a little more smoothly..."
Wende shook his head helplessly.
After the dinner party last night, Jingliu didn't even give him a chance to ask questions before forcibly pinning him to the bed, and she even pulled Miss Tingyun in with her...
If not for his body's internal repair mechanism forcing him to sleep, he probably wouldn't have gotten any sleep at all that night...
"What the hell is that bad woman plotting? Don't tell me she's planning to latch onto me? Why isn't Jing Yuan doing anything? Just arrest her already, damn it!"
Poor Wende, of course, had no idea that Jingliu had long since reached some kind of secret agreement with Jing Yuan, one that wouldn't affect anything...
Oh, wait. It would affect something.
It would affect Wende.
"Wende!!"
Just as Wende was lamenting the unpredictability of life, a familiar voice called out from behind him. The next moment, he felt his body go light as someone scooped him up by the waist. A fluffy head immediately burrowed under his shirt, and he felt a wet sensation on his lower abdomen.
Zzzzzzt!!
"Ah!"
"..."
Wende's face was dark as he looked at the smoking Stelle on the ground. It seemed he had once again underestimated the perversion of the players...
"Hehe... crackle... hehe!"
"Sigh, she's a lost cause."
---o---
[Option 1: Lift him up for a hug.]
[Option 2: ...]
"Why would I even consider option two?! Hug him! I want to hug him! I want to hug my little Godfather like crazy!"
Sister Guoguo decisively chose the first option, then, in full view of her audience, began to wriggle and squirm in her computer chair.
[AcFun, witness every kind of creature.]
[She's evolving again?]
[Assimilate into the swarm!]
[Heehee! Lift up, hug, and kiss! The milky-scented little shota! Hehe!]
[Hiss... I suddenly feel like my usual craziness is nothing. You guys are the true masters! (cupped fist salute)]
[For a moment, I don't know what to make of you guys. Are you a Lántóng or a Liàntóng?]
[How about a shota-mom?]
[Yes!]
"You feel your vision go black as you pass out."
The moment Dogzi chose option one, his screen went black. Then, he reappeared behind little Wende.
[Option 1: Are you looking at the sea?]
As expected, the previous option one was zapped out of existence by Wende's electro-therapy. However, Sister Guoguo, completely unfazed, climbed up from under her gaming chair and righteously chose option one.
"You people! I can't even be bothered with you! You shouldn't always look at my Godfather through tainted glasses! He's so small and helpless right now, without a shred of power to resist. As his good children, we must fiercely... I mean, we must protect him properly!"
[Yeah, yeah, yeah! You're totally right!]
[You can fool your buddies, but don't lie to your own XP!]
[Yeah, that's what I thought. My XP is clearly for buff guys like big Wende... but my phantom limb has a mind of its own.]
"You're awake..."
Wende looked helplessly at the dazed and innocent Stelle. He pulled a towel out of nowhere and started wiping her messy face.
And in the story...
"Wende sees that your face is a little dirty, so he stands on his tiptoes, wanting to wipe it for you. But he finds that he can't reach, so he asks you to bend down."
"AHHH!!! He's so gentle! He's my Godfather! What is this?! This indescribable feeling! My morals! My morality and my XP are fighting each other! Help! Help me, ahhh!"
Sister Guoguo wailed as she read this passage of text. Is this the legendary feeling of transgression? I'm just playing a game! Why are you doing this to me!
---o---
"Ding dong, Emotion Value +100,000"
Wende wasn't surprised at all by the system notification in his ear, but he really did just want to wipe Stelle's face.
"Mmm..."
He wiped Stelle's face, tidied up her hair, and dusted off her clothes.
"Alright, get up. We still have to go for a walk today."
Wende patted Stelle on the waist.
"Mm!"
Stelle nodded, but for some reason, she felt that the towel... looked a little familiar?
