Chapter 436 - 351: Da Guo and Little Brother Compete for Favor
’Another world?’
People in this world, even if they often saw other worlds and planets on screen, even if they let their imaginations run wild now and then, would never truly believe that other worlds existed.
Not even now, when they were encountering the mist and all sorts of bizarre events.
But if you were to tell them you’d been to another world?
They’d probably drag you off to see a psychiatrist.
But Little Kongjian was so young, and the two of them had just been talking casually a moment ago. How could he be so certain she had actually been to another world?
He didn’t doubt it in the slightest.
’Are kids these days all this precocious? Or is his thinking just absurdly divergent?’

When she woke up, the air outside the simple little wooden cabin was hazy with mist.
It seemed a light drizzle had fallen.
After cooking and eating breakfast, Wen Ying led Kong Jian and continued walking toward the edge of the forest.
The rain had been too light, only dampening the ground.
Along the way, nothing much seemed different, except for the possible changes in Little Kongjian.
He was happy one moment, silent the next.
She had no idea what was going on in that little head of his.
Wen Ying felt she wasn’t very good at counseling children—of course, she wasn’t good at counseling adults either.
Not good at it, didn’t like it, and wasn’t willing to do it.
[Host, want to livestream?]
[Host, livestream?]
[Host, start the stream?]
The voice of the revived system appeared in Wen Ying’s ears, but she was already ignoring it.
[Host, I was wrong... but... it’s not like I can do whatever I want...]
"Shihuhu, what’s that noise?" Little Kongjian, who was holding Wen Ying’s hand, suddenly stopped and tilted his head to look at her.
[System: !!!!]
’What kind of monster is this kid!’
’This shouldn’t be happening!’
"Maybe it’s the buzzing of an insect?" Wen Ying said hesitantly.
"But Kong Jian heard it, and it sounded like it was talking."
"Then what did you hear it say?"
"Host, want to livestream? Host, livestream? Host, start the stream? Host, I was wrong but it’s not like I can do whatever I want."
Little Kongjian looked at Wen Ying in confusion, wanting Shihuhu to help explain what it all meant.
"Liger, what’s a ’host’?"
"I understand ’livestream’, but there’s no one here, right? And no camera."
’System?’
"System?"
The system clamped its mouth shut and went silent. ’I have to do a system check and see which part is malfunctioning. Until then, I’m not showing up again!’
"Liger, what’s a ’system’?"
’Just as I thought, Little Kongjian can even hear my thoughts!’
Wen Ying couldn’t help but wonder, who exactly was clearing the level here?
Why weren’t the rewards going to her? Why was Little Kongjian getting stronger instead?
’Useless system!’
’It’s so scared of being found out that it’s actually gone into hiding.’
Wen Ying took out her phone, searched for the word "system," and began to read, "A system is a whole composed of several interacting and interdependent things that combine to perform a specific function."
Kong Jian blinked, his innocent expression clearly showing he didn’t understand.
"To be honest, I don’t really get it either. Just think of it as something high-tech and sophisticated."
Kong Jian nodded in hazy comprehension. ’So Liger doesn’t get it either.’ "Okay, Liger."
"Liger, then... can we livestream?"
Kong Jian was a little apprehensive as he asked this.
Wen Ying was a little surprised when she heard him.
She’d never imagined that Kong Jian, the quiet little monk, would actually want to livestream.
"Little Kongjian, do you know what livestreaming is?"
Kong Jian looked conflicted, but then he heard Liger continue, "If we livestream, everyone will be able to see us."
Little Kongjian’s face flushed red, and he nodded.
’He wanted everyone to see him together with Shihuhu.’
’It was a difficult emotion to express, but it was just what he wanted to do.’
’If Liger didn’t agree, then he’d just forget about it.’
"So you’re willing to have a lot of people watch you? It’s very likely that many, many people will pay attention to you in the future. If you do one thing wrong, a lot of people will attack you. Of course, some people will like you, too."
"Liger..." Kong Jian shook Wen Ying’s arm, his soft, sweet voice continuing, "Besides you, Liger, I don’t care what anyone else thinks of me. Whether they hate me or like me, it has nothing to do with me."
Watching this little kid say such mature words, Wen Ying was momentarily stunned.
’Was she the one who was too childish?’
’Was she the immature one?’
"Alright then. If Little Kongjian likes livestreaming, then Liger will livestream with you, okay?"
The "dead" system heard the word "livestream" and instantly came back to life.
[Livestream room ready. The stream has now begun...]
Suddenly, it clamped its mouth shut. ’That was careless. I made a sound again.’
