Chapter 370 Remove the Label
The night was deep and the world was silent, glasses and toasts intersected, and the dishes on the dinner table were swept clean like a whirlwind. The few of them talked about the latest politics, the past, and the future.
Before they realized it, everyone was drunk, their consciousness blurred, spouting nonsense.
Two friends drank too much and were snoring on the table.
Even Xiao Ai got drunk. It might have been her first time enjoying the delicacies of the Mortal World, and once she started eating, she lost control. She even ate most of the ordinary barbecue, then leaned drunkenly in her chair, starting her drunken rant, "Captain! I want to fish, I haven't caught any fish yet!"
"I haven't even caught a little fish... wooh! I used an optimized strategy, how come I didn't catch a single little fish?" Xiao Ai cried about this matter, actually starting to cry in anger, "Captain, why is it like this! Woo!"
Only Wang Hao was sober, even the Monkey Wine couldn't knock him out. Watching everyone sprawled on the dinner table in various positions, he felt somewhat melancholic, knowing that the journey had reached its end, and everyone he needed to say goodbye to had been bid farewell.
So, he could only get up and move these two friends to the bed.
As a guest, he wasn't going to wash the dishes!
Then, he pulled out a smartphone and filmed Xiao Ai who was crying and ranting in her drunken state, chuckling sneakily.
"Let you be aloof, let you calculate! Let's go!"
Grabbing Xiao Ai's hand, a breeze blew by, and they disappeared from this world.
...
Upon returning to the Planet Fortress, Xiao Ai instantly sobered up from her drunken madness, remembering her uncontrollable behavior, and her whole body stiffened!
And the great Captain, with a mischievous grin, was playing with his phone.
From the phone, the sounds of her drunken ranting echoed, "I haven't even caught a little fish... wooh! I used an optimized strategy, how come I didn't catch a single little fish? Wooh wooh!"
Xiao Ai turned her head away, pretending she hadn't heard anything.
As a qualified artificial intelligence, her greatest strength was her thick skin!
No matter what kind of teasing, it didn't matter!
However, the sound grew louder, beginning to loop, interspersed with the Captain's ominous laughter.
"Some people pretend not to hear, so let me turn up the volume."
"I haven't even caught a little fish... wooh! I used an optimized strategy, how come I didn't catch a single little fish? Wooh wooh!"
"I haven't even caught a little fish"
The sounds of her drunken rant played on an endless loop, Xiao Ai's blood pressure rose, her embarrassment intensified, and she covered her burning face with her hands.
Then,
She simply… crashed!
...
With the final friend having departed, Wang Hao thought hard but couldn't come up with anyone else to say goodbye to, so he simply logged off to rest.
He slept until nine o'clock the next morning, only to be woken by a series of knocks on the door.
His cousin barged in, fuming, "You went out for dinner with other women yesterday! And didn't invite me!"
She was dressed simply in a T-shirt and shorts, revealing her soft arms, and her twin pigtails were as usual, with bright, shiny, and large eyes.
Wang Hao yawned, headed into the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, and mumbled, "It's your own fault for bailing early yesterday. Otherwise, you could've enjoyed too. Why did you run off?"
"That's because you don't let me eavesdrop, it's so boring to stay in the shop!"
"You shouldn't eavesdrop on the guests' matters."
"Have you finished that business yet?"
"It's done, it's done, don't rush me…"
After breakfast, it was time to say goodbye to this familiar home. He petted the cat sunbathing in the yard, turned off the circuit breaker, and distributed the remaining food in the fridge to the neighbors.
The old folks in the neighborhood were puzzled, "Are you going on a distant trip? Is the internet cafe closing?"
"Business wasn't good, it's closed now. I'm going traveling, but I'll come back," Wang Hao shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "Can't finish all this food, I'll give it to you folks."
"Oh, oh, a trip might be good for you."
The elderly neighbors couldn't stop smiling.
In their eyes, little Wang was a confirmed bachelor of the highest degree.
Though his clothes were simple, he was actually the wealthiest in the neighborhood. The location of his house said it all—next to a large pond on the right, with an orchard in the back, and the house itself covered a substantial area. If he's not rich, then what is he?
So, they happily accepted the vegetables and meat.
...
After finishing these preparations, the two basked in the sunlight in the yard.
"You still have one last transaction to complete, Wang student," Xiao Yue reminded softly from the side.
"I know, I know." Wang Hao stretched out his hand and removed the [cousin] tag from her head.
Suddenly, the whole world seemed a bit different.
Old Wang felt like he could control the fate of everything in the world, seeing the past, present, and future of all things, but the girl in front of him was the exception.
The reason was simple: she didn't belong to this world, she didn't belong to the Etheric Abyss.
As a member from a Prehistoric Civilization, once she was freed from the [cousin] label, she could return to her own universe, thus escaping the control of the Etheric Abyss.
"You're free now, traveler from a different plane." Wang Hao sat on the steps, watching the sparrows come and go, listening to their chirping.
And then it seemed he thought of something, a strangely-shaped disc-shaped anti-gravity broom robot appeared in his hand.
