Gu Changge and Dugu Yan had grown up together, so she knew his temperament very well.
Usually, he seemed easygoing, even a little lazy and unreliable.
But once someone truly provoked him, not only was his heart dark, his hands were even darker.
Still, Yu Tianheng and Qin Ming could not be taken lightly.
The former was the direct heir of the current generation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan. If anything happened to him, they definitely would not let it go.
Although Qin Ming had no background to speak of, his talent and strength could not be underestimated either.
At least, with Gu Changge's current strength, he would definitely suffer badly if he truly faced him.
So Dugu Yan hurriedly wrapped her arms around him and comforted him with a smile.
Seeing her concerned expression, Gu Changge lowered his head and kissed her. "Don't worry, I'm not an idiot. I won't recklessly do something I'm not confident about! Besides, when it came down to it, this mess was caused by my own greed!"
Hearing him say that, Dugu Yan let out a sigh of relief. "It's good that you know. Lingling and I don't blame you, but you'll have to find a way to settle things with Grandpa and Lingling's parents yourself!"
"Then let's go!"
Gu Changge nodded and stood up.
Dugu Yan froze for a moment. "Where are we going?"
"To see the Old Man, then settle things with him!"
Gu Changge turned back with a smile.
Dugu Yan was instantly startled. "You have a way to deal with Grandpa?"
"That's right!"
Gu Changge nodded confidently.
Crafting Table + Steve Physique + Survival Mode.
If that still could not deal with that old bastard Dugu Bo,
then he might as well stop calling himself a veteran Block Person.
"Let's go, right now!"
Upon hearing that, Dugu Yan truly became excited.
Seeing how brisk and energetic she looked,
Gu Changge smiled as well. "Why do you seem even more anxious than I am?"
"Obviously!"
Dugu Yan said irritably, "We grew up together and saw each other every day. I'd long gotten used to that kind of life. Then Grandpa suddenly drove you away. Of course I wasn't used to it!"
As Dugu Yan spoke, she glared at him with her big eyes. "And you're a shameless womanizer. You managed to steal Lingling right under my nose. If I let you stay outside for any longer, who knew whether you'd go fool around again?"
Gu Changge awkwardly rubbed his nose.
Don't slap someone in the face, and don't expose their shortcomings when insulting them.
Still, her judgment of people was frighteningly accurate!
At dusk, Dugu Bo's Mansion.
"Grandpa, I'm back!"
Because Gu Changge had caused that disastrous chained-ship capsizing incident,
Dugu Bo had not dared to casually go wandering around these past few months.
He was worried that if he went out again,
that little bastard Gu Changge would counter him by pulling the rug out from under him and getting his precious granddaughter pregnant.
So for the past few months, he had stayed home and kept a strict watch, leaving no opportunities whatsoever.
He had even specifically stipulated that Dugu Yan had to return home immediately after school ended every day.
If she did not return, he would go beat up Gu Changge.
And so, Dugu Yan could only go home on time these past few months.
At that moment, hearing his precious granddaughter's voice,
Dugu Bo, who had set up a recliner beneath a Ginkgo Tree in the mansion's front courtyard and was lying there reading, was just about to speak to Dugu Yan.
Then he discovered that Gu Changge had come along too.
"What are you doing here, you little bastard? Have you thought through what I told you?"
Dugu Bo immediately spoke in displeasure.
Gu Changge smiled at that. "Of course I have. If I hadn't, I wouldn't have come to see you, Old Man!"
Hearing that, the displeasure on Dugu Bo's face finally eased somewhat.
"Hmph, at least you have a bit of conscience. I didn't raise you for nothing!"
As he spoke, Dugu Bo sat up from the recliner. "Fine. Since you've thought it through, come with me to the Ye Family. We should clear things up as soon as possible, lest complications arise!"
Dugu Bo actually had a fairly good relationship with Ye Lingling's family.
Otherwise, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling could not have become best friends since childhood.
If possible, he truly did not want to fall out with the Ye Family either.
But because of the troublesome mess Gu Changge had created,
he no longer had room to choose.
For the happiness of his precious granddaughter, he could only do this.
However, Gu Changge shook his head. "There's no need to go to the Ye Family. I didn't come here to cut ties with Lingling!"
Boom!!!
As Gu Changge's words fell,
a cold and tyrannical aura suddenly surged from Dugu Bo's body.
"What did you say?"
Dugu Bo was truly enraged now. "If you're not cutting ties with that girl from the Ye Family, are you planning to cut ties with Yanzi instead?"
Dugu Bo was so furious that his nose nearly twisted crooked.
If this little bastard before him had not been raised by his own hand,
he truly wanted to release a blast of Jade Phosphor Serpent Venom and scatter even his ashes to the wind.
"Can't you wish me well for once, Old Man?"
Faced with Dugu Bo's overwhelming aura, ordinary people would have long since shuddered in fear, their legs going weak.
But Gu Changge had long since become immune to this sort of pressure.
After all, Dugu Bo had been angered by him into releasing it countless times since he was little.
"Why are you always talking about cutting ties? Cut ties with my ass. If I really did what you think and cut ties with Lingling, wouldn't you be afraid that if something else happened in the future, I'd cut ties with Yanzi too?"
Not only was Gu Changge unafraid in the face of Dugu Bo's fully unleashed aura, he directly confronted him. "Don't worry. I came to see you this time because I'm choosing the condition you proposed: marrying both of them!"
After saying that, he did not wait for Dugu Bo's response.
Gu Changge raised his hand and waved.
A Void Gate leading to the MC World immediately appeared before the three of them.
Shock appeared on both Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's faces.
"Is this... a Soul Skill?"
Dugu Yan asked curiously, "How come I've never seen it before?"
Dugu Yan knew Gu Changge's Soul Skills very well.
But she had never seen this one.
"I'll explain it to you later!"
Gu Changge smiled, then turned to Dugu Bo. "Old Man, let's go. We'll settle this inside!"
After saying that, Gu Changge stepped forward and entered the Void Gate halfway.
Seeing this, the anger in Dugu Bo's eyes did not increase. Instead, it faded somewhat. "Are you sure you want to choose this?"
Gu Changge looked back. "Isn't this what you wanted me to choose, Old Man?"
"My Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Venom is not something a mere Soul Bone skill can resist or transfer!"
Although Dugu Bo's expression remained cold, a subtle hint of anticipation appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"How would we know without trying?"
Gu Changge spoke with a smile, not explaining that the Void Gate was not a Soul Skill.
"Fine. I'll give you this chance."
Dugu Bo stopped wasting words and immediately walked toward the Void Gate.
After the two entered, Dugu Yan was just about to follow them in.
But the Void Gate vanished with a flash.
Dugu Yan was left completely stunned.
What did that mean?
He wasn't letting her watch?
Dugu Bo, who had entered MC together with Gu Changge, was also stunned at first after arriving, then dumbfounded.
When he first saw the blue skies, white clouds, green mountains, and clear waters of the MC World,
he had assumed that the Void Gate Gu Changge had created was
some sort of spatial teleportation Soul Bone skill.
Though unusual, it was not something he had never seen before.
But then he suddenly realized that something was wrong with the time!
It was clearly dusk outside, and night was about to fall.
So why was it broad daylight here, with the sun blazing overhead?
Then he looked more closely.
With that look, he was completely dumbfounded.
Blocks, blocks, they were fucking blocks.
Whether it was the clouds or the sun in the sky,
the nearby trees or the creatures running across the ground,
everything was square in shape.
"What is going on here?"
Dugu Bo spoke in disbelief.
He could sense that everything before him was not some illusion-type Soul Skill.
And with Gu Changge not even at the level of Soul King,
he did not have the ability to create an illusion so immersive that even Dugu Bo would be drawn into it.
"There's no rush. I'll explain it all after we're done!"
Gu Changge smiled, then, right in front of Dugu Bo,
took out Wood Blocks and, after a series of movements, made a Crafting Table.
Then he took three Iron Ingots from his inventory.
Using the Crafting Table, he made a bucket.
During the past half year of being stuck on the novice mission,
Gu Changge had been unable to develop properly, and whenever he encountered monsters, he could only run.
But that did not mean he had gained nothing at all during those six months.
After all, Zombies and Little White would catch fire in sunlight.
Gu Changge had not dared take the risk of fighting them before, but he still had the courage to pick up their drops.
And his MC was different from the game.
Whether they died from sunlight or were killed by a player, their drops were the same.
So over the past half year, although the odds had been low,
Gu Changge had picked up as many as twelve Iron Ingots.
But after making the bucket, Gu Changge did not stop.
Instead, he used another five Iron Ingots to make an Iron Sword and an Iron Axe.
Once he was done, he ignored Dugu Bo's utterly shattered expression.
Carrying the bucket, he charged toward a cow not far away.
Very quickly, he obtained a bucket of milk.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Changge used the Crafting Table again to make a Wooden Pickaxe.
Then, right before Dugu Bo's eyes, he dug out a two-by-two-by-two pit in just a few strikes.
Then he kicked that cow straight into the pit.
After finishing all this, Gu Changge returned to Dugu Bo. "I'm ready. But Old Man, do you want a contest of skill or a fight?"
Dugu Bo looked at Gu Changge, his entire face filled with confusion.
He had a bellyful of questions he wanted to ask, but Dugu Bo ultimately suppressed the impulse.
Instead, he asked, "How do we compete in skill, and how do we fight?"
"Simple!"
Gu Changge smiled. "For a contest of skill, as long as you can lift both my Iron Sword and Iron Axe at the same time, then wield them for longer than I can, you win."
"I won't hide it from you. This axe weighs 4,716 jin. This sword weighs 3,144 jin. Together, they weigh 7,860 jin."
"And here, my strength has no upper limit. Let alone this axe and sword—even if there were ten times or a hundred times more, it wouldn't affect me at all!"
