Chen Ran was naturally happy to have some peace and quiet, so he comfortably held Xi in his arms, one arm around Xi's waist, the other holding his phone and scrolling through it.

Although I always feel like I've forgotten something...

However, amidst the grumbling of Wishdale, who was tied to and suspended from the ceiling, an 'egg' popped out of the planet model with a soft "poof".

As Chen Ran looked up, the semi-transparent pop-up window flashed before his eyes:

"Your food delivery has arrived. Please go to the door to collect it."

Chapter 282 Semi-transparent pop-up: Run!

"Wow, this Little Rabbit is so affectionate," Chen Ran said. "This Little Rabbit goes on a trip, doesn't it wander around and have fun? Why is it always thinking about sending local specialties home?"

Although the Little Rabbit still longed for this home, Chen Ran, as the older brother, must have felt quite gratified...

But Little Rabbit, don't just throw everything into the house.

It all looks like they're involved in human trafficking and the slave trade.

The last one sent back was a year old, packed in an eggshell and sent back.

What about this time?

Since it had already been delivered to his doorstep, Chen Ran naturally wouldn't leave it unattended.

So he first reached out, picked up Little Watermelon who was playing on his tablet while sitting on his lap, and put her aside.

Then Chen Ran got up and walked to the planet model.

"Why is it another 'egg' this time?" Chen Ran said. "The way this Little Rabbit is packaged makes it look like we're opening a blind box."

While complaining, Chen Ran also reached out and grabbed the 'egg' in his palm.

He tapped the egg on the table and saw that the shell broke, so Chen Ran brought it closer to his eyes to take a look.

But unlike the previous Year Beast that couldn't wait to hatch, this 'hive' was clearly much more reserved and didn't react for a long time.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ran naturally reached out to help him break open the eggshell, and soon, a long, straight black egg came into view.

"Hey, Old Pu?"

Chen Ran thought to himself that the Demon King Rabbit had really given him a little surprise, "You won the revival match? Oh no, you didn't die either. So, Old Pu, how did you end up being captured by my Little Rabbit?"

Generally speaking, when the Demon King Rabbit uses Originium to envelop its opponent in an 'egg', it also freezes the opponent's time.

For the Year Beast, it was as if she was wrapped in an 'egg' one second and then scooped out by Chen Ran the next; time seemed to stand still for her in between.

But Precise has the same privileges, so time-stopping is useless to her.

In Precise's view, she was in a pitch-black place, and after a long time, the sky was finally broken, sunlight shone in, and a 'god' radiating a soft light dispelled the darkness and reached out to help her.

This was an exceptionally sacred and redemptive scene.

But the first words spoken by the 'god' before her left Precise with a question mark above her head.

Old Pu?

What is this called?

Precise reached out and peeled off the eggshell on her head. When she looked up and met Chen Ran's gaze, she slightly opened her mouth.

Science could not explain it, and theology was presented to her in a substantial way for the first time. For a researcher like Precise, this was undoubtedly a huge shock, almost destroying her worldview.

But after the initial surprise came a surge of delight, curiosity, and fervor.

She was very curious and wanted to figure out the principle behind it.

But just as Precise was about to speak, a half-transparent pop-up suddenly flashed before her eyes.

"Run!"

It's just two short words.

However, compared to this warning and the potentially dangerous situation,

Precise's first reaction was curiosity about the technology behind the semi-transparent pop-up window.

AR? Or VR?

Before Precise could figure it out, Chen Ran stretched out his large hand and waved it in front of Precise eyes, saying, "What's wrong? Are you dumbfounded? Why aren't you saying anything? You're just staring at me with your little mouth open."

Whether by accident or not, Chen Ran's waving motion shattered the semi-transparent pop-up window.

When Precise was therefore forced to look at Chen Ran again—

"Hello, unknown existence."

Precise wasn't reserved at all; instead, he chuckled and said, "So you're the 'brother' that Little Rabbit was talking about?"

"That's a rare form of address," Chen Ran said. "Finally, someone who doesn't start by calling you 'Your Lord God'."

Chen Ran broke the eggshell completely and reached in to pull Precise out of it.

Precise was not afraid of this. She simply smoothed her skirt, sat sideways in Chen Ran's palm, looked at Chen Ran with her purple eyes, and said, "Because it is very inaccurate to lump an unknown being like yourself into the category of 'gods'. Even humans are divided into kingdoms, phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, and species."

"But your Old Pu calls me 'God' the moment we meet Kal'tsit, you know?"

"Kal'tsit? Ah... you mean AMa-10? She's just a cat. You can't expect a cat to recognize you, so please forgive AMa-10 if she has offended you."

Precise didn't think it was a big deal.

To her, no matter how human-like Kal'tsit looked, she was still just a 'pet'.

But since she was one of Kal'tsit's 'owners', when Kal'tsit accidentally meowed or hissed at someone, Precise had to apologize for her pet's sake; it was basic courtesy.

The owner's sincere apology, coupled with the fact that it was just a cat hissing, would likely be met with a laugh by most people.

Chen Ran smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay. I'm a kind-hearted person. Besides, I've already rubbed the cat's head several times, so I've already recouped my investment."

See, like this.

Chen Ran's reaction was within Precise's expectations... oh no, it should be said that this is the normal reaction of a 'human'.

So Precise chuckled and said, "Thank you for your understanding, but several? I heard from your sister about the 'Three-Cat Consultation,' is that true?"

"Oh, so that's what you came for, Old Pu. I knew it."

Chen Ran gripped Precise, turned around, walked to the table, and said, "So soon? Normally, according to the procedure, I should Old Pu things like Worldline to you, Prismus."

"Your sister has already told me roughly about these things, hasn't she?"

"That Little Rabbit is trying to steal my job, isn't it?"

After speaking, Chen Ran walked to the table.

Reaching out, Chen Ran placed the Precise in his hand on the table and pointed with his fingertip. "Old Pu, see that town over there? If you're looking for Kal'tsit, just wander around inside and you'll find her."

"The AMa-10 thing doesn't matter, but what about the prophet...?"

"Those three cats are guarding it, never leaving its Old Pu, you've found Kal'tsit, which means you've found... oh, I mean the Doctor."

"I see, thank you for clearing up my confusion."

Precise, in her high heels, gently landed on the table.

After thanking Chen Ran, Precise turned around and walked toward the miniature model of the 'Seaside Resort Town' behind him.

Seeing this, Chen Ran did not rush to leave. Instead, he propped his cheek with one hand, put the other hand in front of his eyes, rubbed his fingertips together, and laughed, "As expected of Old Pu, I pinched and rubbed her as I carried her to the table, and Old Pu didn't show the slightest bit of a strange expression."

Chapter 283 Kal'tsit: Damn it, Precise is still chasing me!

"Call..."

As Precise walked along the miniature model street, he exhaled a slightly warm breath.

When Chen Ran reached out and grabbed his palm, Precise had already noticed that Chen Ran's hand was not behaving properly.

But Precise didn't pay attention at the time. After all, with such a big hand, it was inevitable that he would accidentally touch something when trying to grasp her.

Just like when a person pets a cat and buries their head in the cat's belly and takes a deep breath, would a person think that's being a pervert to the cat?

No, people will just think he's petting a cat.

But the truth is, the place where the person was sucking was indeed the cat's nipple.

If you were to try and "cuddle" someone like you would a cat... you'd definitely get slapped.

Furthermore, with Precise character design combining "cyber ghost," "female chauvinist," and "yandere," most people wouldn't dare to mess with her.

As a result, Precise always felt that 'being taken advantage of' and 'being teased' were words that were completely foreign to her.

Moreover, someone like Chen Ran probably views her in the same way she views Kal'tsit.

Precise thought Kal'tsit was a pet, Chen Ran probably thought Precise was a pet too.

Under such circumstances, how could someone like Chen Ran possibly have those kinds of thoughts about her?

However, Precise soon discovered that Chen Ran's finger movements were not at all 'unintentional'.

Too skilled.

How proficient are they?

Only three times.

Chen Ran tried three different ways of holding her, and then precisely found the spot where he could knead Precise most comfortably.

But Chen Ran's grasp of the degree was too perfect.

So good that Precise's emotions shifted from doubt to surprise, and finally, just as he was about to reveal an unusual expression—

Chen Ran then put her down.

No one would believe that Chen Ran didn't do it on purpose.

But Precise wasn't stupid; she would never be foolish enough to turn around now and question Chen Ran with nonsense like, "Were you taking advantage of me just now?"

She met with Chen Ran, but neither offered sacrifices nor prayed. She neither humbled herself to obey Chen Ran loyalty and piety like a fanatical believer. Instead, she abandoned Chen Ran and went directly to the prophet.

This is actually an extremely dangerous thing.

If someone like Chen Ran felt offended, or felt that Precise was being too presumptuous and presumptuous, then Precise would probably have to stay here today.

Therefore, leaving directly like this is already too bold, Precise would certainly not be foolish enough to go back and court death.

As for why Precise chose to do this despite knowing the danger...

"Call..."

Although Precise thought it was useless, she figured if she looked up she could see Chen Ran smiling at her.

But Precise still found a corner, and using the wall as cover, reached out and gently tugged at the black pantyhose on his leg.

After all, when it gets damp, the nylon threads cling to the skin, and it feels slightly uncomfortable unless you tug at them a few times.

Only...

'Did I get taken advantage of?'

'How could someone like me get taken advantage of?'

Precise's expression was subtle, yet he inexplicably wanted to laugh. In the end, he simply curled the corners of his mouth slightly, tapped the ground a few times with the toes of his shoes, and then...

Precise then emerged from around the corner, his expression unchanged.

Although the miniature model of this 'Seaside Resort Town' is large and has few people, it does not appear empty or desolate at this moment.

Looking to the left, Zofia was waving her little hand, directing a reluctant Centaurea to stock the roadside shops.

He was saying something else:

"I was the one who sourced all these clothes, it was exhausting, and you didn't help at all, Centaurea. Now I'm asking you to do some work, to hang these clothes in the store, and you still look so unwilling?"

"These goods were indeed purchased by you, Former Young Lady, but it was the shop Former Young Lady who helped. You only needed to pay for them. How could you be tired?"

"I'm so tired! If you hadn't been holding onto that phone and refusing to delete the recordings, would I be in this Centaurea?!"

While watching the two arguing, Precise's focus was strange.

She looked at the ears on the tops of the two people's heads, and then at their tails.

After thinking for a moment, Precise suddenly realized. "This is a horse?"

Looking further to the right, you see the so-called 'seaside', Heart of the Corrupted Skadi and Skadi are sitting, staring at each other.

Heart of the Corrupted Skadi stretched out her two small hands and gestured up and down to indicate the length of something. Then, Skadi looked at the length and gestured it to her own stomach.

And Precise...
