The bullet comments instantly erupted in laughter!

'Hahahaha what a genius game'

'As expected of you, Golden Wind'

'Is Dong Gua's nickname Xiao Liang?'

'He just flew out, that's hilarious hahahahahaha...'

'Brother Qie probably never expected this kid's bones to be so uniquely structured'

'Fun, it has the vibe of The Mask'

'You really understand Jim Carrey'

'Where do you call your own kid an idiot hahahahahaha'

'This game is really too abstract...'

The bullet comments were in stitches, but Liu Peiqie looked anxious!

He absolutely couldn't let Dong Gua die like this!

Otherwise, it would be his turn to be the son!

"Dong Gua! Woah, my eldest son, are you dead yet?"

Liu Peiqie rushed downstairs, wanting to circle around to the backyard to check on Dong Gua's condition.

However, the moment he opened the door!

A mysterious object flew straight at him!

Like a pulled-out piece of taffy, it slapped him in the face with a 'pa'.

Immediately after, Dong Gua let out a strange cry: "Adah!"

Dong Gua, still in his diaper, flew up and kicked Liu Peiqie!

"It's me! Daddy!!!"

It should be known that this game, under Gu Sheng's instructions, had not undergone collision testing.

This led to its physics behaving in a way that would collapse under certain extreme conditions.

And so—

With a flying kick from the diaper-clad Dong Gua, Liu Peiqie was sent flying!

Like a deflated balloon, he ricocheted around the living room, finally falling to the ground like a limp rag doll, spinning like a top.

For a moment!

The livestream was filled with the sounds of their surprised exclamations!

"Holy shit! Holy shit, I'm flying, son! Save me, save me!!!"

"Holy shit, that was so cool, Daddy! Woohoo! My dad's ascending!!!"

The bullet comments were dying of laughter—

'Filial Piety Creates Strength'

'Hahahaha fatherly love, filial piety'

'Did a human even make this game?'

'It has the aesthetic of someone who studied animation for three years'

'So chaotic hahahahaha'

'My dad ascended, I'm literally laughing my guts out, this game is truly hilarious'

'A devoted filial son'

'Double hyperthyroidism'

'Querying the mental state of this game designer—'

'I can only say the show's effect is maxed out...'

'Hahahaha...'

Fun!

Dong Gua had never encountered such an absurd game before. The joy of pranking made him extremely excited!

While Liu Peiqie hadn't gotten up yet, he leaped up and, with a gait like a mutated creature, sprinted straight for the refrigerator!

"Daddy! Daddy, I'm hungry! I need to get something to eat!"

As he said this, Dong Gua reached out his hand.

Logically, given his height, he shouldn't have been able to reach the refrigerator handle.

But!

This game defied all logic.

The next second, Dong Gua's two arms stretched out like sticky toffee, instantly elongating to an absurd degree. He grabbed the door handle and yanked the refrigerator open.

"Woohoo! Let me see! Do we have any rat poison in our fridge!"

Behind him, Liu Peiqie finally managed to stand up.

Hearing Dong Gua's words, he immediately scrambled after him, complaining as he went:

"Holy crap, how did you open the door! Hey! Hey! You can't just eat whatever's in the fridge!"

"Don't you worry about it! I'm gonna make myself a little hamburger today! Hahahaha!"

Dong Gua paid no mind to Liu Peiqie. After all, if he successfully managed to die, it would be his turn to be the Daddy next round!

Seeing his chance to die for real, Dong Gua climbed directly into the refrigerator. He frantically grabbed a burger, box and all, and shoved it into his mouth!

"Eat! Damn it, I'm just gonna gorge myself! Rebirth: I Want to Be a Daddy!"

After swallowing the cold burger in one bite!

Dong Gua's satiety instantly increased by a fifth, but it displayed a green poison status!

Liu Peiqie's face changed drastically!

"No! Don't eat it, don't eat it! Son! Put it down, you'll die!"

"Impossible! I'm eating it! I'm stuffing myself!"

Dong Gua let out an evil laugh, his expression now one of extreme agitation.

"Even the Heavenly King himself can't save me! I'm so damn done for today!!!"

Liu Peiqie was going insane, watching as Dong Gua's poison status was about to reach its maximum.

In his panic, he instinctively tried to pick Dong Gua up to interrupt the baby's suicidal behavior.

But in his haste, he made a mistake.

With a slip of his hand, he accidentally pressed the refrigerator door!

"Ah, ah, ah, no—!!"

BANG!

In an instant, Liu Peiqie's desperate shout echoed through the livestream:

"Ah, crap! I pressed the wrong button! How the hell did I close the fridge door!"

The bullet comments were in stitches—

'Hahahaha, he even closed the fridge door!' 'Brother Qie: You're dying too slowly, let me help you.' 'The main focus is family harmony.' 'When there's no danger, Daddy is the most dangerous.' 'Hahahaha, how many steps does it take to lock your son in the fridge?' 'Now he really can't be saved at all.' 'This game is truly too manic.' 'I'm crying from laughter hahahahaha.' 'This game is so glitchy.' 'Although it's lazy, it's inexplicably fun.' 'Brother Qie is a pure idiot.' 'Maybe Brother Qie closed the fridge door on purpose? (doge)' 'Just to become the son, right? (smirk)' 'You guys are right, this game is actually more fun to be the son...'

As the audience discussed!

Just five seconds later!

[You Lost]

As those three words appeared on Liu Peiqie's screen!

In the voice channel, Dong Gua's triumphant cheers rang out:

"Awesome! Holy crap! I died a good death!"

"Young people have good bodies, just lie down and you're good!"

"Brother Qie! Guess what! I'm gonna be your Daddy now!!!"

And Liu Peiqie, on the spot, transformed into a Cybertronian.

His small mouth opened, and a torrent of gibberish poured out. The livestream was in a frenzy!

Meanwhile!

Shen Miaomiao checked the time.

It was already ten o'clock.

In the Shark Gaming Zone, within A Yin's livestream room, the boss's voice boomed:

"Alright, that's it for today's stream. Same time tomorrow, see you then, bye-bye!"

With that, the livestream screen went black.

Shen Miaomiao also let out a long sigh of relief.

"Phew—"

Finally, no unexpected incidents occurred.

She had been waiting in A Yin's livestream room early today, just to get a heads-up.

She really didn't want a repeat of what happened with Mario Bros., where she was inexplicably made popular by a top streamer in the gaming section.

But thankfully, this time, Gu Sheng's good luck seemed to have run out.

A Yin's "bad game" segment today didn't feature their game, "Who's Your Daddy."

He only tested a few uninspired and boring games before ending his stream right on time.

"Perfect!"

Shen Miaomiao was overjoyed:

"There's no way anything can go wrong now."

Without a streamer driving traffic, at a price of 5 yuan per game, even if she sold thousands of copies in a week, she would still lose eighty to ninety thousand yuan, which translates to eight hundred thousand to nine hundred thousand!

Not only would she make back the money she didn't lose last time, but she'd also make a substantial profit!

If things continued to go this smoothly, she could achieve financial freedom and her ideal lazy life sooner.

Then, if her dad still found her lounging around at home displeasing, she'd just charter a yacht and travel the world.

Heh heh.

At the thought, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but let out a triumphant laugh.

It really was all thanks to the system!

Her ideal life was practically within reach!

However, Shen Miaomiao didn't know that.

Just as she turned off her stream and climbed into bed, ready to drift off into sweet dreams.

Far away in Tianjin City, A Yin, who had just finished his stream, opened his phone.

On his phone, a short video filled with 'laughter and joy' and 'birds and flowers' sprang to life on the screen—

"I don't care! I'm eating it! I'm gonna die today!"

"Son! Holy crap! How the hell did I close the fridge door!"

"Wuhu! Good death!"

"Damn it, I really did screw you over, you sneaky bastard..."

It made A Yin laugh heartily—

"This game is kinda interesting..."
