RPAGF Chapter 249.
Chapter 249.
From crying to calling out, from rolling over to walking independently, we are always being arranged and experimented with.
Even until the very end of their lives, they may be exploited by those who call themselves "experimenters," who use drugs to create permanent specimens for future reference and study.
It's simply... utterly devoid of any human decency or moral bottom line.
As Qi Min recalled the information he had gathered, he felt a tightness in his chest, a kind of suffocating feeling of powerless anger that he couldn't vent.
Seeing the little ghost baby turn around and stare at him without blinking after eating the frosting, as if expecting something, his heart softened uncontrollably.
"Do you want to eat more?"
Qi Min tentatively spoke softly, the little sugar frosting in his palm already licked clean, but judging from the little ghost baby's appearance, it seemed he hadn't had enough.
The little ghost baby blinked after hearing Qi Min's words. Although it didn't nod, its gaze towards Qi Min became much more ardent.
Qi Min thought for a moment and took out a large sugar cake from his backpack.
He had this specially made during his rest area, just in case there was no food in the dungeon, so he could have something to eat in case.
Those stores require too many points, and the food portions are insufficient.
Therefore, some players have come up with the idea of using their cooking skills to earn extra money as a side job.
It also only requires points to exchange, but the price is half the quantity compared to the mall.
It's good value for money and comes in generous portions. The only downside is that it can't be stored for very long.
Therefore, most players still choose to buy from the store because of its shelf life.
However, it is very useful for players who don't have enough points, such as Qi Min, who are relatively new to the game.
But since this little guy likes sweets, he probably won't refuse this sweet, sticky, and soft sugar cake.
The sugar cake taken out of the system backpack was still slightly warm, and its faint sweet fragrance instantly filled Qi Min's nostrils, and at the same time entered the little ghost baby's nose.
"Huff, um... hmm?"
The little ghost baby sniffed, blinked, and looked at this thing that was completely different from before, its round eyes filled with curiosity and doubt.
Qi Min observed its appearance and, seeing that it did not show any unusual expression, tentatively handed over the sugar cake in his left hand.
"This is also delicious, would you like to... try some?"
Qi Min stared at it intently and spoke softly, trying to keep his tone gentle, while also swallowing hard the saliva that was frantically secreting because of the aroma of the sweet cake.
He had only eaten one candy, which briefly soothed his hungry stomach, but that little bit of sugar was not enough.
Upon smelling the aroma of the pastries again, the hunger that had been deliberately ignored suddenly resurfaced, demanding to be acknowledged by its owner.
The little ghost baby looked at Qi Min, then at the sugar cake, and tentatively leaned in to take a bite. Its fine teeth became visible, instantly creating a not-so-small gap in the sugar cake.
With one bite, the soft and chewy sugar cake instantly puffed up the little ghost baby's cheeks, making him look like a hamster that had secretly hidden some snacks.
The slightly eerie appearance of the animal was instantly washed away, and instead, it was given a cute and adorable look.
'Hmm... Huh?!' (??????)☆!
Upon tasting the flavor, the little ghost baby's already round eyes widened even further, and Qi Min could clearly see two words in its dark pupils: surprise and delight.
Seeing that it liked it, Qi Min handed the sweet cake in his left hand to its little hand, indicating that it should take it itself.
After I had a firm grip on it, I slowly transferred it from my right forearm back to my left hand and half-hug it in my arms.
Then he turned his head and spat out the candy wrapper he had been holding in his mouth, and took out a candy cake to eat.
Throughout the entire process, the little ghost baby did not show any rejection or sense of danger.
It focused intently on holding the sugar cake, which was slightly smaller than its own face, and quickly moved its mouth to savor the sweetness inside.
As Qi Min ate his food, his stiff body finally relaxed a little. He hadn't expected that the little ghost baby would actually like sweets.
Since entering this instance, Qi Min has been teetering between starving to death and nearly starving to death every day, except when he is in the rest area.
It's no exaggeration to say that he felt like he was about to get a stomach ailment, or perhaps he already did.
The aroma of the sweet cake had already stirred up his hunger inside him, making him feel like he was about to rebel.
The soft, fragrant sugar cake finally brought some relief to his aching stomach, which had been aching from hunger.
Qi Min ate the sugar cake with a slight relaxation, occasionally keeping an eye on the little ghost baby in his arms to make sure it could immediately continue eating the next one after finishing the previous one.
And so, the two of them, one big and one small, one a player and one a ghost baby, enjoyed their meal in this quiet room in a brief but harmonious and pleasant atmosphere.
This is the first thing I saw when No. 01 came in after finishing his business.
'This 0723 is disobeying him again and running around everywhere!'
I clearly told it not to approach this player until he returns! Why won't it listen?!
'They actually dare to eat whatever they give them! They deserve a beating!'
Number 01 thought with a hint of anger, then turned his gaze to Qi Min and began to observe the player seriously.
He never expected that the players who entered their territory would be able to get along so harmoniously and considerately with these ghost infants.
This is simply an unbelievable sight.
01 looked at Qi Min, who was taking care of 0723 in the room but did not notice his presence, and thought to himself.
Normally, those players, not to mention those from the past, just those who came in this time, would all avoid them at all costs and flee in panic. How could they be treated so kindly?
This player might be just like those adults who experimented on them before—skilled at disguising themselves!
They're just trying to deceive them and get something out of them.
01 stood quietly at the door, watching Qi Min's actions of taking care of her, feeling only irony in her heart.
It's unclear what this player did to attract 0723's attention beforehand.
When they were in the corridor, he refused to leave no matter what, insisting that he take the player with him.
If it weren't for 0723 constantly causing trouble, he would never have been able to bring that player back.
He was lying there half-dead, and we had to waste resources to bring him back to life! It's outrageous!
