Chapter 186

Precise remained silent in response to the Lost Cat's explanation.

But this wasn't because she was rendered speechless; it was simply because she wasn't interested.

They're just a bunch of small animals... Do you think Precise looks like an animal rights activist?

The price? Precise, she can pay it.

But what she wanted was not to save the Terra, but to rewind the timeline to the Pre-Civilization era.

Or you could directly ask Chen Ran for the ultimate answer: how to get through the 'lumbering' hurdle.

However, the Pre-Civilization has been destroyed for more than 10,000 years. Such a long time span means that even if all the Precise in Worldline signed indentured servitude contracts, it would still be far from enough.

As for how to get through being a 'logger'? That's even more impossible.

If they could actually get the answer, then could they also say that the 'lumberjack' could ask Chen Ran for the answer to 'how to kill the Pre-Civilization '?

So, as soon as these two ideas came to mind, they were immediately rejected by Precise.

When Precise arrived, she was unaware of what the so-called 'price' was, and she hadn't considered the possibility of it being related to Cersei.

Because saving a civilization only requires you to take off your clothes and stick your butt out.

This is no longer a price to pay; it's more charitable than charity itself.

If someone like Chen Ran wanted to sleep with you, you would have to be grateful and say it was Gift of the Deity, and that after the blessing, He also saved your civilization.

How come you get all the good things?

So--

Watching the Lost Cat chatter incessantly in front of her, Precise tilted her little head, deep in thought:

"If we sacrifice all these small animals, would that price be enough to Time Reversal to a Pre-Civilization era?"

The Lost Cat, suddenly feeling a chill, thought, "?"

"Going Time Reversal to Pre-Civilization era? That's a bit tricky."

Hearing Old Pu's whimsical ideas, Chen Ran's expression became slightly subtle.

What if we went back 10,000 years?

To rewind time like this, we would first need to find a planet in the 'Terra' Worldline, which is the current civilization.

No-man's-land like Food Planet is not feasible.

If we go back 10,000 years in time, then our current civilization would no longer exist.

This coincides with what Precise said, "If all these little animals were sacrificed."

But it shouldn't be like that. Sacrificing one civilization in exchange for another would be such a waste.

"Is that really how it is...?"

Precise was unaware of the details.

When she saw that Chen Ran had rejected the idea, she mistakenly thought that she had guessed correctly and that she couldn't afford the price.

Precise had already left the room and walked to the edge of the table, looking at Chen Ran across the distance.

After all, Precise was a woman of strong character, not a madwoman. She couldn't do something like, "Hehehe~ Prophet, you can't move now? You're at my mercy, aren't you? Well, I'll get started now."

After concluding that 'you really aren't my prophet after all,' Precise lost interest in the Doctor.

So she went to find Chen Ran.

And what about Chen Ran?

As Chen Ran listened to Precise's imaginative ideas, he walked to the sofa and sat down.

After gesturing to Xi beside him and patting his leg, Chen Ran continued, "Old Pu, if you're really fixated on the Pre-Civilization, you might as well wait until I can handcraft a planet model of the Pre-Civilization's Worldline... wait, can you even handcraft Pre-Civilization's Worldline?"

So far, all the Worldline Chen Ran has created are based on the current civilization.

Whether this Worldline includes Pre-Civilization... Chen Ran really didn't know.

If it is included, then can the future End of the Earth- Worldline also be created manually?

While pondering this question, Chen Ran casually remarked, "Besides, if I really Time Reversal to the Pre-Civilization, and another you appeared, and two Precise... do you think we would live in peace, or would we just draw our swords and kill each other first?"

Precise didn't say anything.

She simply stared at the empty space before her.

The semi-transparent pop-up window kept flashing the words "Run!" in front of her eyes.

But when Chen Ran asked, "Will the two Precise be able to get along peacefully?" the semi-transparent pop-up suddenly stopped moving.

Precise didn't understand this, but she roughly knew the answer to Chen Ran's question.

Two people with the traits of 'cyber ghost + feminine + yandere' collide?

Do you think it will be better?

When Precise came to this conclusion, the semi-transparent pop-up window started flashing in front of her again.

When Precise was once again puzzled by this sight—

Xi, who's been sitting on the sofa, scrolling through her tablet for so long, hasn't even blinked.

Upon hearing Chen Ran slap his leg, Xi instinctively stood up, walked to Chen Ran, turned her back to him, and plopped down on Chen Ran lap.

Finally, she even snuggled back into Chen Ran's arms, and only then did Xi stop, satisfied.

During this time, Xi's eyes never left the tablet in her hand for even a second, making her look exactly like a girl addicted to the internet.

So much so that when Chen wrapped his arms around her waist, rested his chin on the top of her head, and then nuzzled her...

The friction made Xi feel a little itchy, and she subconsciously reached out her little hand to push Chen Ran aside—

Xi then suddenly realized what was happening.

Wait... something's not right? What did I just do? Why did I obediently sit on this lecher's lap?

Chapter 286 Precise wanted to know about the 'Lumberjack,' but the price wasn't right.

In the original Worldline, this Little Watermelon, without electricity, internet, or any electronic devices, stayed home alone in the deep mountains and forests for hundreds of years, never even leaving the house.

Now that she's come to Chen Ran's place, she has electricity and internet, and is being waited on hand and foot. If this Little Watermelon also had a cell phone and computer, what would happen?

So criticizing AI Drawing is just a pretense; the real purpose is to become a shut-in, internet-addicted woman.

From the moment she got the tablet, Little Watermelon's eyes never left the screen.

Even after getting up from the sofa and sitting on Chen Ran's lap, Little Watermelon didn't look up even once.

Why did she suddenly realize this now?

Because Chen Ran reached out and touched her.

No, to be precise, it should be 'someone disturbed her while she was using her phone'.

It was only then that Xi realized what shameless things she had done.

Like Xi, who has stayed at home for hundreds of years, completely cut off from society and never leaving her home, her ideas are still stuck in the feudal era, even more so than some feudal remnant Zofia.

But it's not her fault, because Xi is an immortal being and a non-human, so it's honestly quite difficult for her to integrate into human society.

The words they use, such as "last time," "not long ago," and "just now," can actually span hundreds of years.

Usually, they've just learned, 'Oh... a woman's feet are an extremely private part, symbolizing chastity and shame.'

Then, in the blink of an eye, 'Huh? How did it turn into advocating freedom of dress again? And what's with this "jade feet" thing?'

This high cost of learning often leads them to feel disconnected from human society.

Ah, of course, excluding certain idle street urchins who do nothing all day long.

So when Xi discovered that she was sitting on Chen Ran's lap, her first reaction was, 'What a shameless act!' Her second reaction was, 'This lecherous man is taking liberties with me again!' Her third reaction was, 'Oh no... it seems like I was the one who sat on this lecherous man's lap... Is it me who's shameless?'

Realizing she was in the wrong, Xi's momentum immediately deflated.

She wanted to leave quickly, but found that with her current height, her little feet were dangling in the air when she sat on Chen Ran's lap, and there was nowhere for her to put her weight on.

She tried to reach out for leverage, but found that Chen Ran's hand was already firmly wrapped around her waist, making it impossible for her to break free.

On the contrary, it was her restless, fidgeting manner that aroused Chen Ran's suspicion. "What's wrong, Little Watermelon? Are you using your butt as an iron to iron my pants?"

"... You, you lecherous scoundrel, can you please stop using such foul language?"

Xi, lacking any sense of justice and with a rather weak demeanor, said, "It's just that your body is too hard, making it uncomfortable to sit on."

What Little Watermelon really meant was probably that thigh muscles can't compare to the softness of a sofa cushion.

But Chen Ran raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "Little Watermelon, with your current doro-like physique, don't say such misleading things. You have a strong criminal aura."

Evening. "?"

What did she say that caused a misunderstanding?

Xi was puzzled.

She was still being restless, sitting on Chen Ran's lap and fidgeting.

Then Xi suddenly froze, her cheeks flushing red.

She bit her lip, her eyes reddening as if she had suffered a great humiliation, and turned to look at Chen Ran: "You... you lecher... how could you... in this situation..."

"That's why I told you, Xiaoxigua, not to go around with the Little Watermelon."

"..."

Xi truly stopped crawling; she didn't even dare to move.

After all, what was just verbal irritation was now a physical irritation.

Seeing that the Little Watermelon had finally calmed down, Chen Ran reached out and patted her head.

Then, looking up at Precise standing on the edge of the table, Chen Ran said, "Where were we? Oh right, Old Pu, do you want to Time Reversal to the era of the Pre-Civilization to change the tragedy of its destruction, or do you want to start over and fight the 'Lumberjacks' in a second-time playthrough?"

"Both are available."

Precise didn't pay any attention to Chen Ran and Xi's interaction.

Precise is the kind of person who can watch with great interest for a long time, even if you're doing it with someone else right in front of her.

Then comes the question, "I see. Even beings like this experience sexual desire, and handle it in the exact same way as humans reproduce?"

Finally, I'll record all the details of your length, girth, depth, and frequency, make a table, and give it to you. Then I'll add, "Based on the data analysis, it seems you prefer legs and feet. I recommend that you put stockings and high heels on another test subject... oh no, I mean your female companion."

"But more importantly, it's probably to better combat the 'loggers'."

At this point, Precise glanced at Chen Ran without saying a word.

Could this being... answer her ultimate question?

"Lumberjacks?" Upon hearing this, Chen Ran rubbed his chin against Xi's little head and said, "We should probably take a closer look before making a decision."

"I see... I understand."

Upon hearing this, Precise simply nodded and did not pursue the matter further.

In her view, Chen Ran's words meant 'You can't afford the price'.

Precise didn't think she had such a big face, nor did he think she was of such great value that someone like Chen Ran would take notice of her.

After all, so-called morality and compassion must be built on the basis of seeing the other person as one of the same kind. In Chen Ran's eyes, Precise and the others were probably no different from cats and dogs.

Whether he lives or dies, whether he stays or leaves, depends entirely on Chen Ran's own preferences and mood.

Therefore, it is perfectly reasonable not to give her an answer.

But that's not actually the case.

Chen Ran really needed to assess the situation before making a decision.

In Terra, the 'Lumberjacks' are categorized as a cosmic catastrophe that seeks out planets where civilization has been born, then destroys and annihilates them.

But that's where the problem lies.

If it's just about destroying civilizations and planets, then the scope is far too broad.
