Domestic Violence, Nightmare, A difficulty.

061: "...... Mr. Chi wait a moment."

He sent an error report request to the Lord God.

It was the first time 061 had called him Mr. Ikki since he'd called him Xiaochi offhandedly during the last elevator incident, which showed the seriousness of the situation.

Chi Xiaochi also realized something was wrong, "What's wrong?"

061 said, "You've only made it to the second mission, you shouldn't have been matched to an A-ranked difficulty world, maybe the randomization system is malfunctioning. Don't panic, just lie down, I'll take care of everything."

Chi Xiaochi was slightly stunned.

He'd spent so many years on his own that he thought promises like "I've got it all" were just plain cheesy.

--He, Chi Xiaochi, can live on his own, he doesn't need anyone else, and Chi Xiaochi has been in the industry for many years, and with his fame there, no one would be so arrogant as to come up to him and play this kind of small trick.

...... I didn't realize that it's true that the cheesier the words, the better they sound.

Chi Xiaochi lies down honestly, and waits with 061 for a reply.

Soon, the application approval stated that, after verification, there was no malfunction in the randomization system 089, and it was only a matter of probability for the host to be assigned to level A difficulty. Please receive the world line information quickly.

The implication is, don't be a dick, you deserve it.

061 explained to Chi Xiaochi, "There really is no precedent for this before ....... Most of the other hosts have had their second worlds at a C level of difficulty, or at most a B level."

Chi Xiaochi: "So I'm still the first?"

061: "......" sounds pretty proud.

In desperation, he teleported the world line to Chi Xiaochi.

Some of the settings in this world line are different from the world Chi Xiaochi is familiar with. Although it's still a modern day setting, men have been able to get married, and well, the general values and worldview haven't changed.

His host, Shen Zhangqing, is a moderate born, mild-mannered person who used to be a contracted print model for an international modeling agency, and then met the CEO, Zhou Kai, by chance at an event, and was instantly spotted by him.

Soon after, Zhou Kai began to pursue him passionately.

Zhou Kai is not a young man, but he is one of the youngest businessmen in the world to have expanded his business worldwide before the age of 45.

He favors Asian-looking guys, and his first marriage was to Su Wenyi, also Chinese, with whom he was married for twelve years.

The duo's relationship is quite low-key to the public, and the occasional exposure is news of the duo's love and beauty and going on vacation somewhere with their fingers crossed.

After Su Wenyi passed away, he went through a window of more than four years and met Shen Zhangqing.

In the eyes of outsiders, Shen Zhangqing's luck is not called the green smoke from his ancestors' graves, but the fire from his ancestors' graves.

22 years old, young, handsome, and no surprise, Zhou Kai must be ahead of him.

Zhou Kai doesn't have any children, even if he only gets half of the inheritance, it will be enough for him to buy a house, buy a land, and have fun with a young man until he is 80 years old.

What's more, Zhou Kai doesn't look bad, and he's got a lot of money.

Therefore, in the eyes of the public, Zhou Kai, despite his occasional minor misdemeanors, such as impatience, loud mouth, and unwillingness to be too restrained in public, is, on the whole, a good match.

However, the good guy has a secret that's hard to tell.

...... He was born without sexual function.

In Chi Xiaochi's opinion, this may be the only mercy this fucked-up world line has for itself.

Unfortunately, however, as a celestial eunuch, Zhou Kai is not exempt from being a pervert.

In fact, Zhou Kai is straighter than a pole and doesn't like men at all, but if he marries a woman, he has to face the ridicule of being "childless" due to his own functional limitations.

Even if he could put the blame for his inability to have children on the woman, the facetious Zhou Kai could not bear to have outsiders speculate on his ability and male dignity.

So he simply married the man, once and for all, and cut off any talk of it.

But that choice, in turn, served as a terrible reminder of the fact that he couldn't be humane over the course of a long married life, repeatedly.

After the death of his ex, he was more careful about choosing a partner.

After much examination and judgment, Shen Zhangqing good-looking, good to hold, enough to qualify for a qualified "furnishings" qualification.

So, on the wedding night, Shen Zhangqing, who knows nothing about anything, was directly put on a plastic bag and almost played into the morgue.

Since then, it's been a three-year, day-and-night nightmare.

Shen Zhangqing has thought about divorce countless times, but his family background is at best a small middle class, and the measly 20,000 dollars his parents earn each month is nothing to Zhou Kai.

And Shen Zhangqing entered his door, and unless he went out horizontally, he could not leave his grasp with his secrets.

Shen Zhangqing's character is gentle, at best steady and considerate of the overall situation, at worst resigned to his fate.

He recognized it the first time he woke up from his hospital bed.

Weighing the pros and cons, he was sure that he couldn't break Zhou Kai's thigh with his calf hair.

He didn't jump out and yell about divorce, didn't try to contact the outside world, complained, but obeyed Zhou Kai, although it's still easy to blame, but at least Zhou Kai thought that Shen Zhangqing was well behaved, and didn't want to make trouble all the time as Su Wenyi did, so this temperamental nature was also given less vent to in his body.

Shen Zhangqing doesn't care how his predecessor Su Wenyi died, whether he was played by Zhou Kai or whether he could not bear the humiliation and chose to commit suicide.

All he thinks about every day is how he's going to survive.

Whenever Zhou Kai goes on a business trip for ten days or so, he is as happy as if it were New Year's Eve.

At home, when Zhou Kai puts his chopsticks down a little too loudly, Shen Zhangqing can't control the cramps in his legs, which hurt like hell, but he doesn't dare to show any expression.

Despite this, he would still get beaten up every now and then, too much talk would get him beaten up, too little talk would get him beaten up, and it was even more common for his eyes to swell up like ping pong balls.

Zhou Kai seems to enjoy seeing Shen Zhangqing with a shiner and a bloody lip, and is extraordinarily nice and docile to him after a beating, and it's all so peaceful until the next outburst at some point.

Shen Zhangqing knows that he has a little girlfriend outside, who is also a model, accepts her status as a second wife well, and is open-minded and tight-lipped, which suits Zhou Kai's taste.

Shen Zhangqing has become numb to such trivial matters.

Zhou Kai appreciates Shen Zhangqing's "good behavior" and "good sense", and even sometimes his thin conscience makes him love Shen Zhangqing for a day or two when he hasn't beaten him up. Zhangqing, and even sometimes with a thin conscience, he would love Shen Zhangqing for a day or two without having beaten him up.

It's just that this kind of "love" seems more and more creepy to Shen Zhangqing.

On a similar "honey date", Zhou Kai gave Shen Zhangqing a purebred Labrador.

This is the only comfort Shen Zhangqing has found in his long, dark marriage.

He gave the puppy all the love and kindness he had left, naming him Herp, bathing him, feeding him, and doing everything himself.

One day, about half a year later, Shen Zhangqing offended Zhou Kai again for a strange reason.

Zhou Kai's □□□ is a strange one, probably collectively known as "Schrödinger's □□□", where it's okay to say something at a certain time, but say it a day later and you'll be punched and kicked in return.

Anyway, because of the chicken hair reason, Shen Zhangqing by Zhou Kai a slap, to the back of the head, a slap, not very painful, just dizzy panic, lie down for a while will be able to get well.

Shen Zhangqing was already immune to this level of beating, but he forgot that this was the first time Zhou Kai had ever hit him in front of Herp.

Herp pounces on Zhou Kai's leg and takes a bite out of the skin.

Zhou Kai glares and curses, lifting his foot and kicking at Herp.

The headless fight left Herp seriously injured, and Shen Zhangqing, who was defending Herp, was kicked in the ribs.

This time Zhou Kai seemed to realize that he had gone too far, and after getting a vaccination, he spoke softly to Shen Zhangqing and took Herp to the best pet hospital for treatment, lying that he had been kicked and beaten by a crazy person while walking the dog.

On one level, there's nothing wrong with that.

Two months later, Herp came home, wailing into Shen Zhangqing's arms, his eyes moist with water.

Shen Zhangqing hugged it and cried, "Herp."

Zhou Kai also went to touch Shen Zhangqing's hair, "It's okay, look it's back."

Zhou Kai's tantrums come in stages, such as this one, and he's strangely gentle, not at all like the madman who beat his partner and dog beyond recognition.

The day after Herp came home, Zhou Kai told Shen Zhangqing to go out shopping and buy whatever he wanted.

Shen Zhangqing knows that he's not afraid to run away because he's been a good boy for three years and has gained a little bit of his trust, because he's got a nanny to keep him company, and because Herp is still at home.

Shen Zhangqing is already very happy to be away from Zhou Kai.

He left the house for half a day, ran to several pet stores, and finally got Herp's favorite teething cookies and dried meat.

Figuring that if he stayed out any longer, Zhou Kai might have a seizure, Shen Zhangqing reluctantly returned home.

When he came home, Herp, who had always greeted him with slippers in his mouth, was nowhere to be seen.

He called out twice, "Herp? Herp where are you?"

Zhou Kai came out from the kitchen, "Back?"

Shen Zhangqing suddenly got a little creeped out and stared at Zhou Kai: "...... Have you seen Herp."

"Don't you see it?" He lifted the lid of a copper platter on the dining room table, revealing a crispy roasted dog leg, and laughed, "It's right here."

Shen Zhangqing froze for a long time, grabbed his hair, let out a heartbreaking scream, turned his head and rushed back to the room.

Zhou Kai went to knock on his door and said with the utmost malice, "Haven't you ever eaten dog meat? It's delicious. If you don't eat it, I'll save it for you."

That night, Shen Zhangqing tied a sheet around the door handle and hanged himself.

After watching it, Chi Xiaochi and 061 were in deep thought together.

Chi Xiaochi said, "It's A-rated, what's your S-rated world line all about, I'd like to get a preview."

061 said, "S-rank generally refers to the difficulty of the world itself, such as a post-apocalyptic world or a war, where it's possible to log out due to death just as soon as you enter. It's generally not something that can be encountered easily."

Chi Xiaochi's tone was a little odd: "That's not necessarily true."

061: "...... Hmm?"

Chi Xiaochi did not continue the conversation.

So far, it appears that Chi Xiaochi came through the door after Shen Zhangqing was kicked in the ribs while defending his dog.

He said, "It's still a good comparison. At least there's a bed now, and Herp and I, full stop, have two months of safety left."

Looking at the two broken strips of ribs, 061 couldn't see where it was good.

Chi Xiaochi consoled him, "I'm not afraid of Zhou Kai, let's just say, I'm a person who is generally not resistant to being punched. So, if he dares to beat me up, I dare to castrate him. I don't believe he'll still be at home. I don't believe he'll still be at home when he's cured. By that time, when things come out, I won't worry about the media coming to interview me."

061: "......"

Chi Xiaochi calmed down with a truth-stating expression, "Anything that can be solved with a kitchen knife is not a problem."

061: "......"

Chi Xiaochi: "Does it ease your mind to think that way?"

061: "......" Don't tell me.

Chi Xiaochi flattened himself on the bed, "Murder and arson are all final options. In case my deductions from the last world are true, I'll shoot my ass and leave, and it's still Shen Zhangqing who will be sentenced."

Saying that, he touched his chest and said to himself, "...... I know that you probably want to kill him even if you are willing to go out of your way to sentence him to death. But you get it clear, I was not hired specifically to die with him. To die, he alone to die, otherwise to the ground, you may still be chased by him disgusting."

061 couldn't help it.

He is so serious, as if Shen Zhangqing really stayed in this body.

But he also cooperated with Chi Xiaochi, "Shen Zhangqing, don't worry, trust him, he has a way."

After speaking with Shen Zhangqing, Chi Xiaochi checked the current amounts of favor and remorse.

Favorability value 45, remorse value 0.

Seeing such a pitiful number, 061 was also speechless for a moment.

Chi Xiaochi, however, was positive: "Ha, the power of the proletariat is infinite."

Chi Xiaochi checked the card case again.

In the last world, he used Yang Baihua's favorability as an ATM machine, taking advantage of the rise and fall to reap a lot of benefits, and after he turned his back on the world, he also cashed in two short-acting hypnosis cards with his remaining favorability value in time, so it can be said that he ate all the marrow and wiped it out.

Now, in addition to the eight complimentary experience cards, Chi Xiaochi also has two Hypnosis cards, one Sickness and Dizziness card, one Strength Enhancement card, one Displacement card, and one Stealth card, all of which are as simple and easy to understand as their names imply. Though all of them are low-grade cards with a limited duration, they are also the optimal redemption options that Chi Xiaochi has matched after some calculations.

Chi Xiaochi said, "Mr. Six, give me a copy of Zhou Kai's schedule for two months from today."

That plate of dog meat really grossed 061 out, and he asked, "Only two months left to be safe, are you sure?"

Chi Xiaochi pulled off the needle of the already-empty vial and smiled as she said, "Whether or not I fail the final exam will depend on the information and key points that Mr. Six gives me."
