CHAPTER 69: CHAPTER 69: LU SHINIAN’S TRUE IDENTITY REVEALED

"It’s not important."

As he said this, he lowered his head and kissed Su Ruan’s lips.

Restrained yet desperate, with a touch of madness and greed.

Their breaths mingled, drawing out a sigh.

After a moment, Lu Shinian slowly released Su Ruan.

"As long as Ruan Ruan is by my side, that’s all that matters."

Everything else is not important.

Su Ruan’s ears turned red, and because of the lack of oxygen, even her cheeks were tinged with an unusual blush, her eyes vaguely filled with physiological tears. She glanced at Lu Shinian with a mix of reproach and tenderness, before saying, "Last time we entered a copy, you also entered the Ancestral Stage."

"That’s when I found out."

Lu Shinian recalled and realized that was almost two weeks ago, and he hadn’t expected Ruan Ruan to know his identity so early.

Thinking about the events of the past few weeks, Lu Shinian fell into a rare silence.

Su Ruan chuckled, "Little Sweet is a fitting name for a Commander."

"Ruan Ruan." Lu Shinian’s tone carried a trace of helplessness, "You little heartless one."

Su Ruan raised her eyebrows noncommittally, her fingertip paused slightly at his chest, then quietly withdrew.

"Commander should tidy up his clothes first."

Bare-chested and open abdomen, what kind of appearance is that?

Lu Shinian glanced down, agreed with a "Hmm," and released Su Ruan, elegantly and smoothly tidying his clothes.

His gaze was fixed on Su Ruan, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Ruan Ruan has learned to tear clothes too? Hmm?"

Su Ruan: ...

"You tore them yourself."

She certainly had no hobby for tearing clothes.

Lu Shinian wasn’t sure whether he believed her or not, but after fixing his clothes, he asked, "Does Ruan Ruan want to play Mecha anymore?"

Su Ruan shook her head, "Not today."

"I’m going offline now." Having been tightly online just now, her heart hadn’t fully calmed down, causing a faint aching.

Lu Shinian responded softly, and went offline together with Su Ruan.

Little did they know, not long after they went offline, the golden-haired Invincible Little Overlord approached the door.

Several days ago, after buying that table back, he had repeatedly experimented many times but couldn’t alleviate his Ancestral Stage symptoms.

Every day, he logged on hugging the table legs to sleep, even specifically maintaining the same posture as before, yet he couldn’t calm the unrest in his heart.

This left Invincible Little Overlord feeling quite distressed; he pondered and realized he might have misunderstood.

What relieves his Ancestral Stage isn’t the table, but the room!

Otherwise, why would he instinctively run into the room that day? It must be because the room instinctively attracted him!

So today, upon logging on, Invincible Little Overlord hurriedly arrived near the room.

But due to the Star Network’s privacy settings, without the owner’s permission, he couldn’t enter the room randomly, so he could only linger outside.

There seemed to be no one in the room, which made Invincible Little Overlord quite disappointed. He waited outside, intending to catch the owner when she logged on, so he could discuss renting or buying the room.

Su Ruan was entirely unaware of Invincible Little Overlord’s completely misled thoughts and had even set her sights on the room she rented.

After logging off, Su Ruan lay in the holographic chamber for a while, waiting for her heartbeat to slow before she rose and walked out.

She bought some Level 1 Energy Stones, picking one up to play with in her hand.

Her current ability allowed her to easily purify Level 1 Energy Stones, but she could only purify one Level 2 Energy Stone a day.

Moreover, she discovered that although purifying Energy Stones in the Second World could also enhance her abilities, it wasn’t as fast as in reality, so occasionally she would purify some Level 1 Energy Stones in real life when she had spare time.

Although she hasn’t yet figured out what to do with them.

While thinking, the light brain on her wrist suddenly lit up, accompanied by a soft little girl’s voice in her ear.

[Master~]

Su Ruan paused, this voice...

[Tangtang?] Su Ruan’s eyes flickered slightly; she stood up and locked the door, drawing the curtains before asking, [You’re awake?]

[Mmm mmm!] The infantile voice responded again, [Master, I remembered, I’m called Little Seven, one of the seven systems divided from the main brain.]

Little Seven, which was Tangtang, met Su Ruan when she was ten years old.

Back then, Su Ruan survived on a low-level planet by scavenging trash, occasionally finding valuable items, which she could design and assemble to sell for a good price.

Like the light brain on her wrist, which she had found back then.

It was her first exposure to a light brain, without anyone to teach her, she figured it out herself, thankfully her talent was undeniable in this realm, and she indeed came up with something.

But due to poverty, when she was about to sell the light brain, she suddenly intercepted a stream of unfamiliar data.

The data stream was extremely strange, entirely different from her prior understanding.

Back then, her curiosity was at its peak, so she kept the light brain, using it to communicate with the mysterious data stream.

With limited knowledge, she didn’t understand whether other light brains could speak, so when the light brain suddenly spoke, she wasn’t surprised but started chatting with the freshly emerged Little Seven.

Little Seven, missing part of its data, couldn’t remember its name, so she named it [Tangtang].

But the day after naming it, Little Seven fell into a deep sleep.

Su Ruan was too young to understand then, so she mentioned Tangtang to her returning elder brother.

Su Hu was in his prime, wild and unruly, his mind filled with thoughts of fighting, not taking his sister’s words seriously, brushed them off nonchalantly.

After receiving assurance from her brother that it would wake up, she never sold or replaced the light brain, even after moving to the Central Star and marrying Lu Shinian, she never planned to replace it.

As she grew older, Su Ruan gradually understood more; she assumed Tangtang would never awaken, but to her surprise, it woke today, and even told her it’s one of the seven systems.

Su Ruan took a deep breath and softly said, [Should I call you Tangtang or Little Seven?]

[Tangtang!] Little Seven replied childishly, [I like the name the master gave me.]

Su Ruan laughed softly, [Alright, Tangtang.]

Little Seven, or rather Tangtang, rolled over, [Master, master, I’ve raised your security level and privacy level! Except for the main brain, no one can break into your security system!]

Su Ruan’s eyes flickered; she had to admit, Tangtang woke at the perfect moment.

With her security and privacy levels set to the highest, does that mean she could potentially sell purified Energy Stones in the Second World?

Su Ruan’s thoughts subtly stirred.
