Chapter 196 – Pretend to be father and daughter on the surface


Asho had also thought about what kind of child he would have in the future.

Don’t get me wrong, he wasn’t the kind of person who fantasized about baby names when he saw a girl he liked. In fact, Asho thought his imagination was quite poor. When he saw a girl he liked, his fantasies about being a couple were limited to places like the classroom, bedroom, living room, beach, or a couple’s hotel… But these fantasies rarely occurred after he started working. “I have a meeting later” was the best way to suppress his desires.

As the saying goes, working overtime won’t help you find a lover, but it can make everyone forget about having one.

Asho’s first imagination of a child came when he was eight years old. At that time, he was secretly playing computer games and got punished by his father with a cane. He secretly vowed to raise a child who could play games with him.

As he grew older, his expectations for his child grew as well. He wanted them to enjoy outdoor sports, be able to talk about love, solve the last math problem on the college entrance exam, be beautiful and handsome, be able to cook, be fluent in a second language, and be able to write or draw comics…

But after Asho started working and experienced the harshness of society, he understood the strictness of his parents and felt sorry for his future child. “I’m sorry, child, I can’t find your mothers, sob.”

But no matter what, his expected child should not be like this.

“If you, Dad, get the highest score but have to give your wish to Sister Annan in the end, do you think it’s really… good?” Lis sat cross-legged on the bed, her face full of indignation, and said in a suppressed voice, “I feel sorry for Dad!”

“…Don’t worry, your dad is useless. The one who can get the highest score must be your Aunt Bokin or Uncle Harvey.”

“But it’s still not fair!” Lis shook her body, her twin ponytails swaying back and forth. “Dad, think about it. You and Aunt Bokin, Uncle Harvey are good companions who have gone through life and death together. You should share the difficulties and blessings together. For rewards like the Weaver’s Wish, you should share it among the three of you, not give it to the witch Annan who takes advantage of you!”

“But you just called her Sister Annan.”

“That’s not important, Dad. What’s important is your thoughts!” Lis widened her eyes and said, “Don’t you want the Weaver’s Wish? The Omniscient Weaver can fulfill all your wishes, resurrect the dead, travel through time and space, live forever, and even become a god—”

“Can I wish for all women to wear super short skirts with black or white stockings?”

“Ugh.”

“Huh?” Asho saw Lis stick out her tongue, as if she was about to vomit. “What’s wrong with you?”

“It’s nothing, Dad. Maybe Lis is not used to sitting in the car, so she feels a bit nauseous.”

“But you’ve been resting for over an hour…”

“Anyway, Dad, you also want to get a wish, right?” Lis forcefully brought the topic back on track. “You’re not willing to give your wish to a malicious witch like Annan, who deliberately harms you, right?”

“If you have to ask if I want it or not, then of course I want it.” Asho said with his chin held high. “But I don’t think I have the qualifications or capacity to obtain this wish.”

“What qualifications do you need to make a wish?”

“Think about it. It’s not easy to get the opportunity to make a wish to a god. Shouldn’t you consider more than just yourself and make some selfish wishes? The best approach should be to make a perfect wish that benefits all beings and also benefits yourself. For example, asking the Omniscient Weaver to bestow new technologies that greatly enhance productivity or to increase the lifespan of all citizens—”

“What’s wrong with being selfish?”

Asho stared at Lis, who was roaring at him, in a daze. At this moment, the white-haired little girl’s face no longer had the disguise of innocence and sweetness, but was filled with deep resentment and cynicism. But soon she became timid again, and her expression returned to her usual cuteness, as if what just happened was Asho’s illusion.

She lowered her head and said timidly, “Lis means that, Dad, you are not a citizen of this country and you don’t have a sense of belonging to this country. When making a wish, you don’t need to consider so much. Isn’t it okay to follow your inner desires?”

“…Let’s have an honest conversation, Lis.”

Asho said calmly, “You can call me Dad, I don’t mind. After all, it’s just a title. If we can maintain this father-daughter relationship on the surface, it can also reassure Annan. Let’s just consider it as a code name between colleagues.”

“But I’m a bit curious. Annan said you lost your memory, and she shouldn’t be wrong. But the ambitious and manipulative look on your face is not something a normal child with amnesia can show. Or are you a legendary race child who can’t be influenced by memory loss and has become the embodiment of desire, with every pore in your body flowing with dirty blood?”

“Is there such a race?”

“Yes, the capitalist race.” Asho crossed his arms and said, “You haven’t lost your memory at all. How did you deceive Annan?”

“No, Dad, you’re wrong.” Lis tilted her head. “I really lost my memory. The farthest memory I have is being captured by those black-robed villains. I can’t remember anything before that.”

“Then you—”

“But I know what I should do.”

Lis raised her head and looked at Asho. “I’m like Annan, wanting to become a Resonator by taking advantage of the identity of someone from a different world. But the difference is, Annan can only rely on you and the others, while I want to become a Resonator myself.”

“I have a wish that must be fulfilled.” She said very seriously. “I absolutely cannot give it to anyone else!”Asho blinked, “Let’s not talk about whether we can resist Annan, but even if we can, how are you going to snatch this wish from us?”

“That’s enough.” Lis raised her hand, spreading out five fingers: “Dad, me, Aunt Bokin, Uncle Harvey, and Witch Annan, there are five competitors.”

“As long as you, dad, can unite with others to firmly exclude Witch Annan, then the competitors will be reduced to four. If you become the responder with the highest hidden score, then the final competitors will only be you and me! As long as I deal with you, the wish will be mine!”

Lis closed her other fingers, leaving only the middle finger pointing at Asho.

“Do you have so much confidence that you can beat me?”

“It’s not about confidence, but compared to dealing with five people, of course, it’s simpler to deal with just you, dad.” Lis said righteously: “And don’t forget, dad, we still have two contracts!”

“So what, it’s mutual anyway.”

“No, the contract you have with me only lasts for 101 days, while my contract with you is indefinite. If in the end neither of us gets the wish, then you will have to be my servant for life!”

“Hey, how did my status drop from dad to servant?” Asho felt this little girl was getting more and more arrogant: “And this contract is just a two-winged sorcerer’s contract, there must be a way to dissolve it, you can’t scare me.”

“There is indeed a way to dissolve it.” Lis nodded: “But I have a way to make you unable to dissolve it. If you want to go out, I will ask you to feed me donuts, if you want to enter the Virtual Realm, I will ask you to tell me fairy tales, if you want to read, I will ask you to give me a piggyback ride, let’s see what you can do! Not only do you have to be my servant, but I will also make sure you never get a wife in your life!”

“Lis, you’re so vicious!”

“Humph, if you don’t want to end up old, fall in the bathroom, unable to move, and then starve to death in extreme misery, then do your best to grab the wish… what are you doing! I’m going to scream! The contract stipulates that you can’t hurt me! Stop it!”

“You can’t order me to stop! Don’t forget our contract is mutual at this time, you can’t restrict me!” Asho tucked Lis under his arm, angrily rubbing her white dog head: “I can’t hurt you, but I can make you dirty… Ha! Done!”

Lis struggled to break free from this evil man, turned her head to look in the mirror, and found that her beautiful pigtails had turned into messy braids, completely ruining her cute appearance.

She cried out with a whimper, covering her ears and retreating, while angrily shouting at Asho: “You are not allowed to leak our conversation to others, you are not allowed to refute this command, you are not allowed to refute my command, you are not allowed… Ah, it’s so annoying, in short, don’t leak it out, or you will get into trouble too! Asho, you wait for me, in these 101 days, we will pretend to be father and daughter on the surface, but after 101 days, I will let you know what cruelty is!”

Bang!

Lis rushed too fast, turned around and bumped her head into the alloy blast door, her whole body swaying a few circles, and she fainted on the spot.

Asho was stunned by this series of moves, thinking that this little girl was half as silly as he was when he was young.

He went over and patted her little face: “Hey, wake up, the ground is cold, you might catch a cold, and you have to brush your teeth before going to bed, otherwise you will get cavities.”

“She just fainted, it’s nothing serious.”

Asho turned his head and found a girl in a black and white checkered dress lying on his bed. She had shiny black hair, her legs were mixed with white stockings and black stockings, and she was looking at him with a smile.

But…

“Shouldn’t it be a super short skirt and black and white dyed hair?”

Asho was greatly disappointed: “Why are you also different from the character drawing!”
