Chapter 92- Billion-Dollar Reward
After singing a lullaby, He Ruge depleted all the spiritual energy stored in his demonic pattern, but miraculously, he faintly felt another energy emerging within the pattern, a very weak and gentle energy.
As subtle as the nourishing spring rain, moisturizing He Ruge’s body, allowing him to spontaneously generate a mental energy. To put it simply, it meant he could effortlessly stay up all night and still be spirited and focused the next morning to do things.
And to outsiders, the change in He Ruge was evident, like the barrage at this moment:
“Is it just me or does Ruge seem to be glowing? Maybe it’s because his skin is so good, so glossy and translucent.”

“The broadcaster’s eyes are so bright, it’s like there are two little hooks hidden in his eyes, pulling my soul away.”
“The male god is so captivating, the more I look, the more beautiful he gets.”
“Shh, I feel like the male god is like one of those monsters that suck up vitality…”
He Ruge speculated that this should be the infusion of the power of faith into the demonic pattern, bringing about changes to his body. After singing a song, He Ruge felt a bit like skipping, but it was too early now, and it wouldn’t be good to stop the broadcast on such a good spot.

However, if he kept telling stories and singing songs, He Ruge felt a bit uncomfortable. He wasn’t someone who talked a lot. Facing the camera, he could only pretend to be reading a book to avoid embarrassment, his gaze falling on the densely packed words while his mouth told unrelated fairy tales.
“After listening to the lullaby, do you all feel sleepy?”
If everyone was tired, then he could confidently stop the broadcast.
The barrage, which had previously clamored about being tired, now vehemently denied it, because there were too many barrages. What appeared in He Ruge’s eyes were only two types of barrages: the most frequently repeated ones and the ones sent by the top one hundred wealthy fans on the fan value leaderboard.
At this moment, everyone unanimously claimed not to be tired, putting into practice the essence of humanity: being “repetitive” and “authentic”.

The change in the barrage amused He Ruge, and just a slight curl of his lips stole the hearts of billions of viewers, unleashing a continuous display of colorful fireworks worth ten thousand stars.
A wealthy fan sent a barrage: “Ruge, can I add you as a private message friend? If you’re willing, I’ll send you a ‘Radiant Nebula.'”
The Radiant Nebula, worth one billion stars, seemed to have become quite common in He Ruge’s live broadcast room. The onlookers shed tears of poverty upon hearing this:
“Sob sob, I also want the contact information of the male god. But I can’t even afford to send a Radiant Nebula, so what right do I have to disturb the male god? So humble.”
“The Radiant Nebula says it’s given, and I’m salty.”

“Ah ah ah, can I add a friend by sending a Radiant Nebula?! Ruge, wait for me, I’ll convert most of my pocket money into Radiant Nebulas and send them to you!”
“I just want to cling to the thighs of the wealthy! Daddies, do you need a son for your thighs?!”
“There was a trending post on the forum before, discussing which is better, a golden age of beauty or being wealthy enough to rival nations. I chose being wealthy enough to rival nations, but I realized I was wrong. If there’s a male god with divine looks, there’s no need to do anything, just one smile! Even empires would yield, not to mention money!”
Before He Ruge could refuse, he saw the special effects of the Radiant Nebula appear before his eyes, and not just one!

Xi Guican, who had risen to the top of He Ruge’s fan value leaderboard in one fell swoop, looked down on the crowd and said, “Anyone else coveting mine?”
The man’s low and slightly hoarse voice was so cold it could make ice crumbs fall.
The barrage that started with a billion-dollar barrage was in an extra-large rainbow font. He Ruge thought it was the top configuration, but to his surprise, Xi Guican, who had rewarded ten billion, could actually have voice effects!
Yes, not only could he send barrages, but also voice messages!
After the barrage fell into a strange silence, it collectively reached a climax:
“This seems like a bass cannon meant to kill. I’m dead, it’s all yours!!!”
“Ten billion, the Marshal is the most suitable person for Ruge. He’s rich and rich again.”
“This is destined to be a love story between two immortals. I’m not worthy of having a name!”
“I’ll pay for the marriage certificate! Please marry on the spot!”
“The treatment of paying players is really different. I didn’t know before that spending ten billion could send voice messages. I’ve learned something new.”
Unlike the barrage shedding tears for a beautiful love story, He Ruge could only hear the sound of his own heart breaking…
Half of the ten billion reward would be split with the platform. He had been busy all night, and Xi Guican had squandered it all. Rounded off, it meant he lost ten billion!
What is ten billion?
For He Ruge, who had been on Earth before, it was an astronomical figure that he couldn’t earn even by working from primitive to modern society without eating or drinking.
He Ruge took a deep breath and asked softly, “Guican, what are you doing? We’re all in the same room, it’s strange to send voice messages. Is there something you can’t say face to face?”
The bald tiger, who was still soaking in a hair regrowth bath, hadn’t sensed He Ruge’s anger yet.
He answered sincerely, “I’m in the bathroom.”
“Then you’d better take a good bath. When you’re clean, turn into your animal form and wait for me on the bed. It’s the kind of animal form that doesn’t wear clothes.”
He Ruge emphasized the phrase “doesn’t wear clothes” heavily.
While Xi Guican watched the gentle smile of He Ruge on the screen, he felt a chill down his spine. It was like looking at a gentle knife, coldly and mercilessly harvesting the fuzz from his body, enveloping Xi Guican’s entire body in a chill.
Xi Guican closed the live stream and logged into the game. When he saw the latest fatherly love distortion index, it was like a bolt from the blue, a thunderbolt striking him—
【Fatherly Love like a Mountain】: He Ruge loves you very much, even if you are bald and wasteful, fatherly love distortion index 1%.
When He Ruge finished the live broadcast and opened the bedroom door, he saw a huge bald tiger sitting on the bed with a dejected expression. Having seen the photos of the tiger’s most severe baldness provided by Mao Zixie, He Ruge wasn’t surprised to see the bald patches on the tiger’s body… or so he thought.
This was the disparity between online romance and reality—take it easy, keep a calm mind.
As He Ruge recalled the images of the little white tiger and little monster in his mind, he adjusted his mindset. Looking back at the bald tiger, his gaze became more tolerant and affectionate.
“Guican, I have something to tell you.”
Sitting beside the big white tiger, He Ruge reached out and touched the white tiger’s claws. The fur on the tiger’s claws had grown back, feeling excellent to the touch. Initially intending to make a casual touch, He Ruge found himself lingering and touching it several times.
Xi Guican courteously showed He Ruge his pink paw pads and even performed a skill on “how to spread out one’s claws” for He Ruge. What’s more, the big white tiger lay on the bed and gently rubbed He Ruge’s cheek with the fluffy tiger ears on his big head, the dragonfly-touch of it softening He Ruge’s heart.
“You.”
He Ruge grabbed the white tiger’s ear, sighed helplessly, and said, “If you’re bald, you’re bald. There’s no need to hide it from me. I love you even if you’re bald. Also, next time, don’t reward me. It’s a waste of money, do you know?”
The large stone hanging over Xi Guican’s heart silently shattered into pieces. He suddenly realized how foolish he had been before. He Ruge, whom he loved so much, was so good that he could accommodate the monsters in his heart. Even if he was covered in filth and thorns, He Ruge had never rejected him.
The big white tiger replied in a muffled voice, “I know, I love you too.”
He cradled He Ruge on his belly, sweetly drifting off to sleep.
The next day, Xi Guican packed his bags. In addition to weapons, he also had energy crystals to organize. If the energy crystals were placed in the spatial ring, the rate of energy loss would accelerate, so Xi Guican planned to go to the front lines to earn military pay.
Xi Guican absorbed a lot of energy crystals himself, and he also moved a small portion of the energy crystals onto the mecha as He Ruge’s food.
Arriving at the Sixteen Stars, Xi Guican couldn’t let He Ruge stay in his mecha and fight together. So, he had a private agreement with the Military Command Headquarters. The whale whale there would send He Ruge to the safest rear area of the Sixteen Stars.
However, one high-ranking member of the Hawk Faction was not enough, so Xi Guican contacted Wu Chengdeng, confirming that the Dove Faction would also protect He Ruge. Only then did Xi Guican manage to relax a bit.
Xi Guican didn’t need the military starship’s transport. With No. 20, he could take He Ruge to the Sixteen Stars in seven stars’ time. He Ruge sat beside Xi Guican, earnestly expanding the outline of a novel.
The vastness of the universe often made people feel small, and even if their lives were as fragile as mayflies, disappearing silently, when two people snuggled together, the dark universe became brighter.
“Guican, when you say you want to send me to the rear area of the Sixteen Stars, which specific place are you referring to?”
After finalizing a small portion of the outline, He Ruge asked.
“The Whalesfall City of the Sixteen Stars. The environment there is very pure, filled with cubs. Because of what happened at the Starry Sea Orphanage back then, the interstellar beings selected as teachers in Whalesfall City are all carefully chosen. They’ve arranged for you to be a new teacher there. Here are the details.”
He Ruge leaned over to take a look and found that the class he was parachuting into was Class 34 in Whalesfall City, and his new identity was a teacher for Land Class 1 in the Blue Whale Orphanage.
There was only one colleague, a flower hat jellyfish named Shui Xirui. The little girl seemed to have a good temper, with the gentleness of a Jiangnan woman shining through her coquettishness.
Her animal form was a jellyfish that looked like a flower hat, cute and charming.
