Chapter 29 How can you expect me to stay calm?
If a player makes a mistake during parkour, they won't have enough time.
There wasn't enough time, so the parkour challenge ended in failure.
And the punishment for failure is naturally...
"Chu Xiao!! Who taught you how to play this game?!"
When Liu's father was beaten to death by soldiers from the base for the thirty-fourth time, he finally couldn't take it anymore.
He cursed and quit the game, his eyes were frighteningly red, and his whole body was filled with an uncontrollable murderous aura.
Hearing Liu's father's loud cursing, Liu's mother rushed over.
She was startled when she saw Liu's father looking like that.
"Honey, what's wrong?" Mrs. Liu asked worriedly.
"I'm fine..." Mr. Liu took a deep breath, composed himself, and said, "I'm fine, but someone else will be in trouble soon."
"What do you mean?" Liu's mother asked, not understanding.
"Because I'm going to go and beat that brat up!" Father Liu said angrily, pulling out his belt.
"The guy who made this terrible game deserves a good beating!"
Liu's mother: "???"
Liu's mother looked puzzled.
Didn't we agree to play the game to comfort my daughter? How did I end up getting myself into the game?
Confused, Liu's mother comforted her husband while planning to download the game and try it out herself later.
"Honey, don't be angry. Why are you arguing with a child?" Mrs. Liu comforted him.
"Chu Xiao isn't a bad kid. Can't we talk things out properly? Why do you always want to hit people? How old are you? Aren't you ashamed?"
Liu's mother could not understand why Liu's father was so angry.
But actually, this can't be blamed on Liu's father.
Because it's normal for any normal person to feel angry when playing Chu Xiao's game.
After all, you encounter a difficult enemy right from the start, and just when you've finally defeated them, you face an even harder parkour level...
It wouldn't be pleasant for anyone in that situation.
"Phew, never mind, I'm too magnanimous to hold a grudge against a petty person..."
At his angrier moment, he was stopped by his mother. After the red heat subsided, his father gradually calmed down as well.
"I'm going to rest for a bit. You... don't tell our daughter what just happened."
The thought of how he had just been driven to madness by the game made Liu's father feel somewhat ashamed.
"It's just a game, is it really that big of a deal?"
Liu's mother still couldn't understand what kind of magic this game had that could make her daughter cry and her husband so angry that he was furious.
"..." Liu's father fell silent.
He didn't know why, even after calming down and thinking about it, he didn't think it was that serious, but...
But when I start playing, I just can't control myself.
Reason was gradually stripped away by anger, and rage slowly took over the reins of thought...
"Sigh, you don't understand."
Since he couldn't explain it clearly himself, Liu's father could only use such ambiguous words to gloss over the issue.
After saying that, he locked himself in his room, intending to use his internal energy to calm himself down.
After Mr. Liu left, Mrs. Liu pondered for a moment and decided to give it a try herself.
As the saying goes, seeing is believing. With her husband and daughter looking like this, how could Liu's mother not be curious?
Let me see what's going on.jpg
Five minutes later, Liu's mother, having selected the difficulty level, entered the game.
Although she wasn't a frequent gamer, she had at least played a few games.
Therefore, Liu's mother wouldn't be in a situation where she didn't even know how to play while she was out and about.
"This game looks pretty good. I bet Xiaoxiao has spent a lot of time researching how to make games."
Recalling the poorly made games she had played, Liu's mother shared her thoughts.
She felt somewhat gratified.
After all, Liu Qiqi and Chu Xiao were childhood sweethearts, so the latter often came to their house to play when they were young.
Since both sets of parents knew each other and trusted each other, Chu Xiao's parents would leave their child with Liu's mother to take care of when they were busy.
They called it finding a playmate for their child, but in reality, they were just leaving everything to their husbands and enjoying a romantic getaway.
Over the years, Liu's mother could be said to have watched Chu Xiao grow up.
Therefore, in Liu's mother's eyes, Chu Xiao was no different from her half-child.
When children succeed, how can parents not feel gratified?
However, this sense of relief...
It seems they will be disappearing for a while today.
……
Thirty minutes later.
Liu's mother quit the game and sat on the sofa without saying a word or moving, as if her computer had crashed.
After the old monk sat there for five minutes, she stood up, went to the storage room, and took out a bamboo stick that hadn't been used for a long time.
Just then, Liu Qiqi, whose mood had calmed down, came out of the room.
As soon as she stepped outside, she saw her mother unearthing the trauma of her childhood.
"...Mom?" Liu Qiqi was startled and took a few steps back.
What a joke! Even if she were reduced to ashes, Liu Qiqi would never forget the bamboo stick that her mother held in her hand.
When she was a child, her strict mother would take out this bamboo stick and spank her bottom when she was naughty and disobedient.
As the saying goes, "A loving mother wields a stick, while her wandering son is swung at her."
The pain of a bamboo stick hitting flesh... only those who have been beaten can imagine that feeling.
Fortunately, as she grew older and became more sensible, Liu's mother sealed the bamboo strip away.
But now, Liu Qiqi has seen that "weapon" that has been sealed away for many years once again, and unpleasant memories from the past have begun to attack her mind.
"Mom? What are you going to do?" Liu Qiqi asked, her voice trembling.
"What am I supposed to do?" Mother Liu said with a dark face, "I'm going to discipline my disobedient child."
Hearing those familiar words and seeing that familiar expression, Liu Qiqi's PTSD flared up.
"Mom! I was wrong! I don't know exactly what I did wrong, but I'm sure I did everything wrong. I'll change right away, please don't hit me!"
Liu Qiqi knelt down on the ground with a thud, pleading desperately for her mother to show mercy.
"I'm not going to hit you," Liu's mother explained.
"Huh?" Liu Qiqi was happy at first, but then she was startled.
What do you mean by "it's not me who's going to be hit"?
Oh no, did my parents really have an affair? Am I not an only child anymore? Do I already have younger siblings?
The thought of falling out of favor made Liu Qiqi's heart flutter.
"If I remember correctly, Xiaoxiao is living in the sect now, right?" Mother Liu asked kindly.
"That's right... but why mention A-Xiao?" Liu Qiqi answered subconsciously, but then realized something was wrong.
"That's good, I'll go talk to him now." Mother Liu got up, picked up the bamboo stick, and walked outside.
"I can't just stand by and watch that kid go astray... Yes, that's right, making a game like this is undoubtedly a bad influence."
"That's what Liu's mother, who was radiating black energy, said."
Liu Qiqi: "???"
"Mom? Calm down!" Liu Qiqi hugged her mother tightly.
"Calm down? How can you expect me to calm down?"
Liu's mother, who had lost her temper due to the game, said, "I, Liu Yun, have never been so humiliated in my entire life."
"Even your dad wouldn't dare bully me like this!"
