Chapter 87- Three doves
He Ruge was kissed until his face was covered in saliva. This kind of kiss had no romantic or lustful intentions behind it. He felt warm inside, as if he were holding a cute and clingy big cat. With his fingers inserted into the soft hair, He Ruge rubbed Xi Guican’s head.
This response, like comforting a child or a pet, reminded Xi Guican of the “paternal love like a mountain” in the game system.
So he silently practiced the dual cultivation technique, using his lips to transmit qi and stew He Ruge into a braised fish.
He Ruge’s body was infused with spiritual energy again. Perhaps familiarity bred ease, as Xi Guican’s fiery spiritual energy quickly turned into a gentle one.
“We can sing a new song with the new spiritual energy.”

Xi Guican’s fingers stroked He Ruge’s spine. The snow-white skin wrapped around the bones, like tender fish flesh covering fish bones, making one’s mouth water.
With a soft body and tail, He Ruge swam away slowly, avoiding this cat that kept moving its hands and feet, and opened his light brain to record the inspiration for his new outline.
Opening the light brain, the StarNet account could automatically log in. StarNet accounts were real-name authenticated, with each person having only one account. StarNet accounts would automatically bind to official software produced by the Federation, such as the StarNet live platform.
Therefore, as soon as He Ruge went online, he saw a golden notification in the unread messages.

It was a private message sent by a user with the account name “1” on the StarNet live platform. He Ruge had never seen anyone whose StarNet account was “1”. He opened the private message with some surprise and saw the avatar of the other party.
It was a saucy-looking parrot, with light green feathers on its head resembling a mohawk hairstyle. There were orange circular blushes on both cheeks, and when the small eyes the size of green beans looked at the camera, a hint of lewdness mixed with disdain was visible, giving off a rare sense of vulgarity.
This user, named Nengge Shanwu, sent a private message, “Hello friend, I am Wu Chengdeng, one of the federal officials in charge of the StarNet live platform. I appreciate your work. Are you interested in joining our platform’s cold-theme support program and becoming a cherished anchor of the website?”
He Ruge called Xi Guican over and showed him this message. Xi Guican looked at the familiar name and said softly, “I remember this name. He’s also on the kill list, and he’s a member of the dovish faction in the Federation Parliament.”
Unlike Shang Zhaoyi, who could hardly find much personal information about him on StarNet, Wu Chengdeng was a popular figure among the dovish faction’s top brass. He was the head of the dovish faction on the StarNet live platform.

He had many famous quotes, such as calling the vast internet users “friends”. When angry fans urged the anchors to update more, he would come forward and smooth things over, saying, “We’re all friends, why would he dove you?”
During the federal parliament sessions, when dovish faction members expressed their views, Wu Chengdeng would nod and act as a parrot, echoing, “Yes, yes, you’re right.”
When hawkish faction members spoke, Wu Chengdeng was always a chatterbox, escalating conflicts and stirring up trouble.
Wu Chengdeng’s personality and status were completely different from Shang Zhaoyi’s. Apart from being high-ranking members of the dovish faction, they had nothing in common. One was loquacious, while the other was reserved; one loved to stand out, while the other was used to hiding his clumsiness.
Their social circles had no overlap; Wu Chengdeng could get along with anyone, but Shang Zhaoyi was a loner.

“Do you still remember anyone else’s name?” With only two samples, they had very little information.
The seventeen-year time span was too long, and Xi Guican had only glanced at the kill list casually back then. Those memories had already faded in the river of time. He could remember
Shang Zhaoyi because he was monitored by the Federation after he bombed the Starry Sea Orphanage, and Shang Zhaoyi was also a high-ranking member of the Intelligence Bureau, leaving a deep impression on him.
As for Wu Chengdeng, he was the first to support live broadcasts of the entire Star Wars. Before him, only the hawkish faction supported this plan. When Xi Guican participated in the first Star Wars, he felt uncomfortable being surrounded by fly-like recording devices, so he also developed a dislike for Wu Chengdeng, who supported this plan.
Xi Guican found that he really disliked everyone he encountered. So, the next person he could remember was one of the few people he didn’t dislike too much.

“Xiang Zhongzheng.”
Xiang Zhongzheng was a dovish chief justice of the Federal Court, a just and honest judge. No one could find any stains on him. He was a tolerant and wise elder who had participated in the formulation of federal laws.
Unlike Wu Chengdeng’s flamboyance, any whimsical remarks from him could trend on social media, and unlike Shang Zhaoyi’s reticence, he worked at the Intelligence Bureau all day without leaking any personal information.
Xiang Zhongzheng was silent, but once he spoke, everyone would involuntarily fall silent and listen. Some said he was like the sun; law-abiding citizens felt warm under his protection, while lawbreakers would be burned by his warmth.
These three people on the list had nothing in common other than being high-ranking members of the dovish faction.
However, one thing was worth noting. He Ruge said softly, “Guican, I suddenly realized something. The reason why it’s called a kill list is because the people on the list are the ones that the mastermind behind the scenes wants to kill. But seventeen years have passed, and these people are still alive and well. Why is that?”
“Is it because the mastermind suddenly doesn’t want to move against these people anymore, or is it because he can’t deal with these three people?”
Shang Zhaoyi was the strongest person in the Intelligence Bureau. Wherever he went, he could collect information at god-like speed, and his counter-surveillance capabilities were so strong that it was horrifying. It seemed like the whole world was covered with his eyes.
Wu Chengdeng and Xiang Zhongzheng had many people protecting them.
Xi Guican assessed the strength and difficulty of killing these three people and said, “It’s hard to kill them.”
To kill these three people would require a great cost. Why would they be killed, what benefits would killing them bring, why haven’t they been killed after seventeen years, was it because there was no way to start, or was the plan temporarily shelved?
Everything was shrouded in mystery. However, no matter how Xi Guican thought back now, he couldn’t remember the kill list he had only glanced at in the past. His brow furrowed tighter and tighter, forming the shape of a river.
“If you can’t remember, then don’t think about it. Maybe there will be a kill list as a game reward.” He Ruge said, opening the game.
He originally just wanted to comfort Xi Guican, but he unexpectedly saw a change in the game interface.
【Dual Cultivation Progress】: Lip Transcends Qi
【Reward Obtained】: Interdimensional Penguin Chat and Communication Software
(Confirm to receive the reward again)
The familiar penguin hung on the light brain. He Ruge opened the penguin and saw a bombardment of messages like a bombing plane:
“Happy birthday! My gift has been sent out and is expected to be delivered today.”
“Hey? Are you still there? Did you fall asleep?”
“Don’t forget to buy yourself a cake when you wake up!”
…
“It’s already noon, and you, lazy bird, still haven’t gotten up?!”
He Ruge was startled. Once again, he felt the fear of being urged to write by Jiji. If it weren’t for the messages sent by the penguin, He Ruge would have forgotten that today was his birthday, and he was about to forget Jiji’s existence too.
It’s said that beauty leads people astray and friends are forgotten when one sees beauty. He never thought he would be that kind of person.
“Is there a reward? What is the reward?” Because He Ruge’s light brain was set to be visible only to himself, Xi Guican couldn’t see the content of He Ruge’s game.
He Ruge switched to shared mode in response and showed the penguin chat box to Xi Guican. “This is a chatting software I use on Earth.”
Xi Guican looked up and saw that the chat background of the penguin interface was a very familiar little white tiger.
Very familiar.
And quite silly-looking.
Xi Guican was silent for three seconds, silently facing his own silly smile.
After He Ruge took a screenshot of the smile that cured the little white tiger, he not only set it as the background for writing but also later set it as the chat background.
Ah, He Ruge really likes me.
Xi Guican thought sweetly in his heart. Then his gaze fell on Jiji, who had sent a bunch of messages, and his sense of crisis soared.
Xi Guican asked, “Who is this?”
“A good friend I write with.” He Ruge replied as he messaged Jiji.
Originally, Xi Guican, who wanted to check the identity of this “good friend,” suddenly saw a keyword in the chat records.
He eagerly asked, “Is today your birthday? I didn’t prepare a gift.”
“No need to prepare, you are my best birthday gift.” After saying sweet words to Xi Guican, He Ruge began to worry about how to handle the gift Jiji sent him.
He Ruge chatted, “I fell asleep last night and just woke up. What did you give me? Is it something big?”
Emotionless typing machine replied, “It wouldn’t be a surprise if I told you.”
He Ruge typed back, “Oh, it must be a souvenir bought during your travels.”
Emotionless typing machine: “No!!! It’s cherry blossoms I grew myself. I’ve been growing them for a year and put them in a small flower pot. You can put them on your computer desk as decoration, and they look really nice.”
A birthday gift full of girlishness, but unfortunately, He Ruge was destined not to receive it. After comforting Jiji, He Ruge racked his brains to figure out how to deal with this gift. He was also thinking about what to do about the rent.
He bound his bank card to the penguin wallet, but He Ruge didn’t have his landlord’s penguin ID. After thinking about it, he opened the penguin university roommate group.
He remembered that he had a roommate in college who was from the same city as him. Perhaps he could ask the other party to help pay this month’s rent and then return it, and also take Jiji’s birthday gift.
Originally, He Ruge thought this troublesome matter would be rejected by his roommate, but unexpectedly, the other party readily agreed and even insisted on not accepting He Ruge’s penguin transfer.
“Just consider it spending money.”
The roommate joked, “These cherry blossoms are so beautiful, they’re priceless.”
After transferring the money, the other party transferred it back, and He Ruge had no choice but to thank him profusely.
“Ruge, you’ve been single for so many years, when are you going to be picked by someone?” The roommate said jokingly.
He Ruge replied, “I’m already taken.”
The other side was silent for a long time before sending a short congratulatory message.
He Ruge didn’t think too much about it. He joined the monster chat group he had added before.
The group owner @All members: “Report! A monster has ascended!!! The Ascension Stone lit up at dawn!!!”
All members were shocked by this magical news, discussing in a flurry who this ascending big monster could be. He Ruge peeked at the screen for a while and realized belatedly—
It seems like I’m the one who ascended.
