233 Family Talk

“Sigh… ah… f*ck…”

Kang De, who had woken up, stretched.

The sky was already slightly bright. The time showed that it was 5:40 AM. In other words, he had slept for more than ten hours before waking up slowly.

“Smells good, so good…”

He slept in satisfaction. It was the most peaceful sleep he had had in days.

Kang De stretched lazily and rolled on the bed twice. He really could not sleep anymore, so he reluctantly got up. His stomach rumbled. He subconsciously wanted to activate his ability to borrow something to eat in the white fog world, but then he returned to his senses and smiled.

“If this continues, it’ll become a conditioned reflex… I’ll go to the shop to get something.”

Kang De muttered to himself. He pulled open the door and went to the living room. He casually tidied his messy hair and opened the refrigerator. He remembered that there should be something edible in the refrigerator.

He opened the refrigerator door and could not help but be stunned.

This was because the upper, middle and lower levels of the refrigerator were filled with milk, bread, ham, eggs, sauced beef, fruits, and other food. They were neatly placed.

There was also a small card in the middle.

Kang De picked it up and saw a line of beautiful words on it.

“I hope you starve to death! Why haven’t you called me?!”

There was also a cartoon image of a girl drawn beside the word. Her mouth puffed up in anger.

Kang De could not help but laugh, and a trace of gentleness flashed through his eyes. He took out his phone and looked at the sky outside. Considering Old Wang’s usual schedule, he only typed a WeChat message.

“I’m back.”

After thinking for a moment, he added another line.

“I can stay for a few more days this time.”

After sending it, Kang De calculated the time in his mind. It was 5:40 PM in Beijing. His mother’s time should be past 10 PM. To most parents, this was already the time to go to bed because it was the best time of the night to nourish his Yang energy.

However, Kang De’s mother had always been different.

He called. As expected, it was picked up instantly.

The other party was concise and a little worried. “Hey, what’s wrong?”

Hearing his mother’s familiar voice, Kang De’s heart ached. He smiled and said, “It’s fine. What are you doing?”

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Then, the resentful Wild Lion roared.

“I’m annoying you for nothing. Are you short of money? Did you wet the bed? Did you have a nightmare? Why are you calling now? You scared me. What time is it on your side? I’m going to lose this round! Hurry up and say it! If there’s nothing else, get lost!”

Kang De opened his mouth. Perhaps the character had changed too quickly and he could not adapt.

On the other side, he was the thorn in the side of the Twilight Dynasty, the flesh of the Human Empire, Valentine’s savior, the new human nuclear bomb, and a strategic weapon to shock the entire world.

Here, he was only an ordinary person and a rebellious son.

He shook his head and said, “I woke up early today. I guessed that you were still awake, so I called. You’re playing a game? How have you been recently? Finish this round first?”

“…What’s there to play? I matched up with a group of b*stards. This internet here is terrible and I still have to be bothered by my son. So be it. I’m done playing.”

Mother Kang’s tone softened. “What’s the matter? It’s only five to six in China, right? You’re up so early. Is there something on your mind? Why, have you thought it through? Are you finally going to attack Xiaoman?”

—Mom, I’ve somehow become the Prince Consort of a country. I’ll scare you to death if I tell you.

Kang De took out a bottle of milk from the refrigerator. He took the bread, a bag of ham sausage, and two bags of beef with sauce. Then, he went to the kitchen and took two large bowls, poured one bowl of milk, and stuffed the others into the other.

He placed it in the microwave and heated it.

Amidst the buzzing of the microwave working, he smiled and said, “What are you thinking? I’m still a child.”

Mother Kang spat, “Pfft, a child won’t hide in the corner of the cabinet with the modem…”

“…Shut up!”

The proud laughter sounded from the phone again.

Kang De pinched the space between his eyebrows and sighed, “In short, everything is fine over there.”

His mother replied, “It’s all good. The natural environment is quite good. Moreover, I have to carry a rifle and set up a machine gun when I go out. It’s very exciting. As long as I spend money, I can shoot bullets as I please. It’s much more satisfying than in the country…”

She rambled, “What I’m most dissatisfied with is that I’ve been here for so long, but I’ve never seen a robbery or a gun battle. Basically, they run when they see a gun…”

Obviously.

They only wanted wealth. Who would risk their lives?

Kang De rolled his eyes and said, “Don’t do anything rash. Don’t find excitement. That’s not a joke.”

“Nonsense, I know what I’m doing. Speaking of which, I’m your mother. Why is it your turn to teach me a lesson? Brat, you also know that that’s not a joke?”

Hearing the voice, he could imagine his mother pouting with disdain, but there was a smile on her lips.

When a child rambled on about worry and teaching them a lesson, his parents, especially his mother, would definitely be gratified and happy.

When Kang De heard this, he sneered, “Yes, yes, yes. You know. Only you know. You know everything. Only I’m childish, impulsive, and exciting. I want to race, shoot, and kill on the vast and primitive African continent. As for you, you’re careful, restrained, and conservative. You never do anything unnecessary.”

His mother was silent for a long time, then she cried and wailed, “What a sin! How did my son become so strange? I can’t have him anymore! When I get pregnant with a second child later, I’ll throw this unfilial son on the street!”

Kang De clicked his tongue and said, “Aiyo, you still want to have a second child. It’s against the heavens. At this age, the old clam is holding a pearl. Aren’t you afraid of giving birth to an idiot? At that time, I’ll take the opportunity when you’re not paying attention and throw that little brat’s foot into the water tank and drown to death, lest you have to snatch the house from me and split my assets in the future.”

“Who did you learn this ruthlessness from? Your father? Useless waste of our family assets. What kind of ability is it to target your parents’ scheming?”

His mother chuckled on the phone, “Your Uncle Wang only has one daughter. If you take down Xiaoman, you can seize the assets of his Wang family and make that kid’s hard work for half his life be surnamed Kang. Wouldn’t it be beautiful to work 30 years less?”

Kang De was silent for a moment before saying, “Why didn’t I hear anything?”

“Ah? What?”

“There’s thunder. Oh, right, Africa doesn’t rain.”

“…I have to beat this son up!” His mother said angrily, “Just wait. I’ll deal with you when I get back!”

Kang De had already carried two large bowls to the dining room to eat. When he heard this, he was stunned. Then, he cut to the calendar and looked at it. His expression immediately became complicated and sad.

He had already been in the other world for more than a year. Be it the time he had spent on the Holy Seal Islands, just the period of time he had arrived on the continent was a long, long time. However, to Earth, it was only a few days.

He had already lost his sense of time on Earth.

Calculating the time, his mother should be back.

She was a teacher of the people and had gone to Africa during the holidays, but school was about to start.

In other words…

—I’m going to start school too.

When he thought of this, Kang De felt a ridiculous feeling. It was as if the world had changed. Now, he could even start a world war, but he was actually a student.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind. He hurriedly said, “When will you be back?”

His mother said strangely, “Wasn’t it decided long ago? Let me think… it seems to be in two weeks.”

Kang De pondered for a moment and exhaled slightly. His mother had returned. Before school started, the mother and son interacted day and night. He would go to the other world to play and disappear at any time. How could he hide it from her?

Moreover, people continuously grew and changed. Recently, he experienced a few killings and wars. Be it his temperament or temperament, they had undergone a tremendous change. He knew his son best, so how could his mother not tell?

However, all kinds of thoughts only flashed past.

There was always a way to resolve these worries. It was very good for his mother to return from relatively chaotic and dangerous Africa and for his family to gather again.

He had not seen them for a long, long time.

When he thought of this, his heart surged. He suddenly said, “…Why don’t I go over?”

His mother was shocked and rejected flatly, “What can you do here? The Internet here is super lousy. It’s very boring every day. The road conditions are bad, the infrastructure is poor, there’s no delicious food, the price is high, and there are many mosquitoes. There are many stupid locals. The security is super poor. It’s super troublesome to come here. We even have to take dozens of vaccines…”

She concluded, “In short, don’t even think about it. You’ll definitely regret it. I’ll go back in a few days.”

To Kang De, other than the Internet, nothing else was a problem. Now that he was tainted with the aura of the magical animals, not to mention mosquitoes, probably even a Tyrannosaurus did not dare to approach. There was also an endless supply of resources in the white fog world—even the Internet was not a problem, because he could use the transmigration location mechanism to return to the country at any time, as long as he was not discovered by his parents.

Therefore, Kang De said softly, “Let’s go see Dad.”

“What’s so good about him? Didn’t we video-call him previously? He definitely won’t let you come. He’ll come back to visit his relatives for the new year. It’s not too late to watch then.”

Speaking of this, Kang De’s mother displayed the decisiveness of the head of the family and fundamentally strangled Kang De’s intentions, “In short, don’t think about these messy things. You’ve only not seen us for a while, so the giant baby’s mentality acted up. You want to ask your parents for a hug.”

She said confidently, “This is very easy. When I, your mother, come back and nag you for a few days, I guarantee that you’ll return to your unfilial state. F*ck, I know you best.”

Kang De only smiled.

His mother’s words made him feel very close and warm. This was the thing he yearned for and needed the most.

His mother still treated him as a child. After all, in his mother’s opinion, they had only been separated for a short period of time. Little did she know that fate was mysterious. Her son had already grown into a decisive and powerful man. He did not dare to say that he was omnipotent, but it was not wrong to say that he was powerful.

Africa…

War was everywhere. Foolishness and advancement were mixed. The history of suffering was long and strange. It was still the source of raw materials and a bloody conspiracy scene in the West. Warlords fought chaotically. Coups and killing were common.

The demolition, smashing, and robbery of an American overseas base would undoubtedly cause a global commotion and even increase international tension. However, after the arsenal of a remote African chief was looted and burned to the ground, there was a high chance that no one would track it down and pay attention to it. Those who were capable could not be bothered, and those who were not could not.

What a beautiful place.

Moreover, there was one good thing.

Compared to Southeast Asia and the Middle East, that was really too insensitive. Just like South America, it was a good place to be at ease.

Therefore, regardless of whether his parents agreed or not, he indeed had to plan to find time to take a look.

The war on Goethe’s side had not ended, and with the strategic deterrence he brought personally, he felt that it was a little unstable. The shock and shock caused by the elves’ tricks in the middle of the Battle of Valentine had not dissipated. No matter what he planned to do next, he needed an army.

He had to carefully plan how much help Earth could provide him.

Especially after the new skill was released.

Therefore, he only replied superficially, “Alright, alright, let’s talk when you return.”

There was a lot to say.

The call finally ended. The sky was already bright. The two large bowls of food in front of him had already been eaten clean. Kang De looked at the phone on the table and was silent.

Although he was back for a vacation this time, he still felt that there were a thousand things going on and it was difficult to figure them out.

When his mother returned, she would definitely sense the changes and clues in his body. He told her the truth, afraid that she would be worried.

The school was also troublesome. It was not long before school began. Logically speaking, with his current experience and life, it was basically meaningless for him to go to university again. Instead, it was a waste of time. He had already decided to do something in the other world. Then, even if he took the time to return to Earth, he still had things to do. Go to the university to stay in the dormitory and flirt with the school belle to show off and slap the faces of a group of inexperienced university students. Low, too low.

However, if he directly said that he wanted to quit school… he would be beaten to death by his parents.

He could tell his parents the truth that he had transmigrated to the other world and was filming a movie with the alternate world’s American Empire. Not long ago, he used a space-based weapon to defeat five legions and become a mobile human nuclear weapon. Then, it was better to quit school and let them beat him up.

D*mn.

Kang De scratched his head and gave up on himself.

At most, he would tell them that he had joined the Dragon Group and was saving the world.

In any case, enchantment extraction, time acceleration, spatial teleportation, and many other superpowers were not fake. He was not afraid that they would not believe him. As for the Dragon Group—comrade, your level is not high enough to learn about it.

He took a piece of paper and wrote and drew. He listed all kinds of things he had to do on the paper. Buy a house, earn money, rob, rob, big news… Then, he discovered that there were actually no fewer things to do here than in the other world.

“In short, let’s spend some money first…”

The newly released spatial skill was very useful. Moreover, he had also instructed Hong San to organize the spoils of war of the Valentine Battle and think of a way to buy various magic scrolls, weapons, and other things. Now that he had status, reputation, and strength, there were many more ways to obtain resources.

It was not impossible to even borrow some money from the underground vault of the Federal Reserve.

Kang De was thinking carefully when his phone suddenly vibrated. He only glanced at it before picking up his phone as quickly as lightning and immediately answering.

They were both silent.

After a long time, Xiaoman said, “My parents and I went overseas to visit our elders… We’ll only be back in a few days. There’s really no way.”

Although Kang De felt disappointed, he said, “It’s fine. There’s time. We can make it.”

“Yeah.”

Then there was silence again.

After a while, Wang Xiaoman seemed to have recalled something, “How do you know Xie Guangjun? He asked me about you before. At that time, you had already left and I casually dealt with you.”

Xie Guangjun?

Kang De was first stunned, then he recalled the name written by the female ghost before she died.

Also…

That idiot called yesterday.

Young Master Xie…

The “Young Master Xie” who wanted to buy that haunted house…

Moreover, he had to directly double the price. He had bought it for less than two million yuan and offered four million yuan…

His eyes flickered as he calculated in his mind. He did not speak for a moment.

Immediately after, Xiaoman’s voice sounded, “Kang De, you…”

Her voice was filled with hesitation and uneasiness as if she was worried about something.

Kang De subconsciously said, “It’s fine. Don’t worry, he can’t do anything to me…”

“…” Wang Xiaoman said faintly, “Who’s worried that he’ll do anything to you? I’m worried that you’ll kill him. It’s a lawful society, Big Brother. Don’t take revenge so easily and dominate the city.”

…
