A Good Man at Home

Xie Xi's senses didn't return for a long time.

He seemed to still be in the United States, organizing the 'immigration' activities of all citizens and keeping an eye on the progress…

His tight nerves loosened and there was inevitably some sadness.

This world had touched him and he had the feeling of touching something that couldn't be completely seen but would inspire people's thirst for knowledge. He wanted to explore, to study and to get the final answer.

Xie Xi sighed and found himself standing in the Hall. He froze as he felt that something wasn't quite right.

He habitually went to the water curtain and took a look at his task rewards. After all, it was his first repair task and he was very curious about the completion and rewards.

There was an orange-yellow line in the quasi-world column of the system panel.

[Congratulations on repairing the S-grade quasi-world Collapsed G.o.d. The repair is 100% complete and the repair level is SS.]

This message conveyed a lot of information and Xie Xi carefully read it.

The quasi-world Collapsed G.o.d had an S-grade rating. This wasn't surprising since there were three souls, which was similar to Love to the Left or Right.

Of course, the integrity of the whole world was much higher than Love to the Left or Right. However, Love to the Left or Right was a novice trial and the so-called S-grade wasn't up to the standards.

The repair completion rate of 100% made Xie Xi feel very pleased. At least he didn't do anything half-baked.

The repair level of SS, Xie Xi didn't quite understand. What did this mean? Was it his task difficulty level?

After all, he entered this quasi-world and there wasn't a clearance mission. Then the task level wasn't linked to the quasi-world but the repair level?

Then how was this repair level a.s.sessed?

In fact, Xie Xi felt that this world was still very easy. He was in a high position and his actions were very convenient. He was never in danger and Big, Medium and Little Jiang didn't do anything, instead completing the task together…

This was SS level? It wasn't easy to a.s.sess the standard. Xie Xi was bewildered by the authorities. Forget the fact that he was the only Repairer, it was infinitely dangerous to be in the world alone.

If he didn't have the ident.i.ty of the Repairer and if the souls weren't like that to him, it was estimated that he wouldn't know about the collapse of the universe and would look for the collapsed G.o.d in the United States. Then the universe would be destroyed and blow him up. In order to fix it, he had to be buried inside it.

Xie Xi went to see the task rewards and there was a clatter as gold coins landed. Xie Xi counted the 0s and was surprised. "Six zeros?"

Well… he somehow felt a bit pleased. It was such an easy task yet he got so much money…

Xie Xi cleared his throat and felt he was thinking too much. He might not be short of money but who would hate money?

Xie Xi was going to check the special rewards when he suddenly found that his experience value had reached 50%!

He had just been promoted to the intermediate level and this experience bar was empty. Now it was halfway filled? Was the repair task so powerful? He could be promoted to the advanced level with two tasks?

Compared to gold coins, Xie Xi preferred the experience value. He couldn't help smiling as he went to see the special rewards.

There were special rewards for S-grade and above tasks. Xie Xi's rewards so far were good so he looked curiously…

Item: Sketch Pen.

Grade: Purple (Lifetime Binding).

Item Description: With this pen, you are the greatest sketcher. Go to the roadside and put up a booth to draw portraits. You will surely get gold!

Xie Xi was stunned. This special reward wasn't that great. A sketch pen that allowed people to draw was really useless to players in Central. What was the use of drawing? It was better to get a purple weapon?

Yet this pen fell into Xie Xi's hands and he had a powerful item to match it, the G.o.d's wisdom. Previously, Xie Xi was too bad at drawing and the things he drew were twisted and not recognized. Now with this pen, couldn't he easily use the G.o.d's wisdom?

Xie Xi felt like he was suffocating because he couldn't take the G.o.d's wisdom out in the Hall.

There were too many people here. If he drew something and it appeared in the air, it would be too eye-catching. It wasn't good to expose this so-called wealth and it was better to be cautious.

Xie Xi went to his skills column to see what he took from the world.

His pa.s.sive skill was to randomly take away one thing from the world but every time, the things he brought out were very scary.

Xie Xi was mentally prepared but once he saw what he actually brought out…

10,000 exclamation points couldn't describe Xie Xi's mood at this moment. He immediately sent a message to Jiang Xie with shaking hands. My G.o.d, how did he bring this back?

His hand was shaking so much that he couldn't write a message for a long time. Then Xie Xi remembered he had authority to the garden and went straight to Jiang Xie.

As he clicked into the garden, he finally realized the strange feeling he got after leaving the quasi-world.

Why wasn't he in the garden after leaving the quasi-world? Why did he show up in the Hall despite being bound to the garden? Previously, Xie Xi was used to landing in the hall so he didn't think about it. Now…

It must've been Jiang Xie who deliberately refused to let him into the garden. This guy…

Xie Xi felt anxious and hurriedly entered the garden. Fortunately, Jiang Xie didn't dare shut off his access.

Xie Xi had a faint guess but his hands and feet were cold when he actually saw it.

The breezy garden in the past had no more wind. Instead, there was a bone-chilling cold that made people's teeth tremble.

Xie Xi saw the large number of withered roses that had lost their beautiful colours and lay on the ground with no life. This was Jiang Xie's spiritual garden and reflected his state.

Xie Xi trembled as he screamed, "Jiang Xie!" He called out the name with all his heart.

"It's fine…" Jiang Xie's weak voice was heard from the pavilion. Xie Xi quickly ran over and saw the man sitting in the chair. The black clothes on his body were completely wet and it was only when looking closely that he realized it was blood.

Xie Xi's heart buzzed and his heart hurt. "Is it because of that white s.p.a.ce?"

Jiang Xie smiled. "You must not cry. The pain of my body is nothing. I am most afraid of your distress."

Xie Xi cried, his heart feeling like hot magma. Xie Xi was pained and angry at this person who didn't cherish himself. "Didn't you say that you were okay?!" He actually believed this!

How could something that clearly violated the rules of the quasi-world be allowed to be used?

Jiang Xie told him, "I'm fine, it just looks scary. Wait for G.o.d Yan to use his healing techniques.

Xie Xi anxiously asked, "Where is G.o.d Yan?" Unfortunately, his Repair was unable to repair this type of injury.

He said G.o.d Yan and G.o.d Yan would arrive.

The moment he entered the garden, he saw this person's miserable appearance and snarled, "Old Jiang, do you f.u.c.king have a grudge against yourself? Do you want to die? I don't think I need to heal you but there is Little Rose. If you are dead, he will be widowed…"

G.o.d Yan's mouth was fierce but he walked quickly to the pavilion. Then he was stunned when he saw the Little Rose who would be widowed.

He didn't expect Xie Xi to be here.

Xie Xi was concerned and didn't notice G.o.d Yan's collapse or the name 'Little Rose.' He didn't even notice the mention of being a 'widow.' He only heard G.o.d Yan's lecture.

“No, G.o.d Yan." Xie Xi carefully explained. "There was a moment when I was mentally in danger and he opened a white s.p.a.ce to wake me up. I was wrong and it wasn't his fault. Please make sure…"

He hadn't finished when the pained Jiang Xie laughed. "Xiao Xie, cough, he is joking."

Xie Xi froze.

Yan Zhe, "………"

f.u.c.k, he really didn't want to heal this guy! How could such a good child be eaten by this old animal?"

“Don't worry.” Yan Zhe was afraid of Xie Xi's worry and told him, "The injury isn't serious. It just looks frightening."

He didn't waste much time and used the divine healing.

Xie Xi watched with his heart in his throat, not daring to open his mouth to disturb the healing. Yet he was also afraid that Jiang Xie was in pain and wanted to help distract him.

Jiang Xie saw this and felt sweet. If he wasn't unable to move, he really wanted to take Xie Xi into his arms and kiss this person. His strong friend would only show such a fragile and lovely appearance to him.

Yan Zhe felt like he really was a f.u.c.king dog.

He didn't get paid a doctor's fee and he also ate dog food. It was so much dog food that he didn't have to eat for three days and three nights!

In fact, Jiang Xie's injury was very heavy. If it was someone else, they would've probably be dead by now.

Jiang Xie's skin was thick and his unlucky experiences over the years made him accustomed to all types of serious injuries. 60~70% of Yan Zhe's superb healing was due to helping this guy!

Around 30 minutes later, the wounds were all healed and Jiang Xie had returned to his original state.

Xie Xi was relieved and sincerely told Yan Zhe, "Thank you!"

Yan Zhe didn't often hear people thanking him. The dogs in his group treated his healing as routine and they also judged his 'milk' volume.

“Cough…" Yan Zhe replied, "You don't have to be polite with me. I don't know how many times I would've died if it wasn't for him so healing him is paying off my debts."

Jiang Xie spoke lazily, "That can't be. Xiao Xie, you have to thank G.o.d Yan. He was terrified all day that you would accidentally become a widow."

Yan Zhe, "…" This old beast!

Xie Xi was startled and finally remembered what Yan Zhe said when he entered.

Yan Zhe's thick-skin couldn't endure it and he cleared his throat. "If there is nothing then I'll leave." Once he finished speaking, he ran.

Xie Xi glared at Jiang Xie. "That's rude." He knew that Jiang Xie deliberately sent Yan Zhe away.

Jiang Xie pulled Xie Xi over. "Who told him to be a lightbulb…"

Xie Xi stopped his hand and said, "Your body has just recovered. Don't mess around."

Jiang Xie wasn't inclined to listen.

Xie Xi seriously told him, "IF you don't cherish yourself, I will never take you to the next world."

Jiang Xie, "…" He was well-behaved.

Xie Xi got up and grabbed a small kettle to take care of the withered roses. Jiang Xie told him, "Don't worry about them…"

'Don't move, rest there."

Jiang.henpecked.Xie could only sit there and heal. He watched the small flowers growing and spoke in the group chat, "Don't call me to the training field anymore. I quit."

Everyone, "????"

What was this situation? Old Jiang changed and didn't want to fight and kill? Who would believe it?

Old Qin was an honest person and he knew Yan Zhe went to treat Jiang Xie. Thus, he asked, "Are your injuries very serious?"

He spoke so seriously that the others were a bit worried. Nan Yi also wondered, "What is the situation? Didn't you go with your wife? Can you be seriously injured in an S-grade world?"

Jiang Xie poked at him. "My injuries are fine but I have to cherish myself later. If I go to the training field and get injured, my family will be distressed."

The group of male G.o.ds, "……"

Jiang Xie recovered from his bad mood. "A man needs to have a family to be stable."

Then everyone found that the group name was changed from 'Lonely Male G.o.d Online Chat 'to 'Good Man at Home.'

There was half a second of silence before the group exploded.

"Old Jiang, do you have any shame!!!!"

Jiang Xie's mood was good as he watched his wife.

At this moment, Xie Xi remembered something. "By the way, I brought back something quite terrible."

Jiang Xie asked, "What is it?" The souls had returned and he knew everything.

Xie Xi replied, "I brought back the hard drive…"

Designers

Xie Xi was completely shocked when he saw this thing. Why did he bring this thing back?

When he left, there was still a decade before the universe exploded. How did he randomly get such a deadly thing?

If he brought the hard drive back, what would happen to the world? It was so hard to repair yet it was over again? Could this be called completing the task?

Xie Xi's head was in a frenzy. Jiang Xie was also frozen. Xie Xi nervously asked, "Did we fail the task?"

Jiang Xie gazed at the hard drive Xie Xi brought out and his mood was very complicated.

“Baby, you're going to be famous now."

"Explain."

Jiang Xie took the hard drive and sighed. "The quasi-world has been repaired but the new quasi-world needs to be redesigned."

Xie Xi was still confused.

"I thought I would have to do it myself again. Now…" He shook the hard drive. "It saved me some trouble."

Xie Xi understood a bit. "You're saying this is an important item to design a world?'

"This is the will of the world."

Xie Xi was in a daze…

Jiang Xie took his hand. "Come with me. There is a place you should be able to enter."

Xie Xi was fascinated and let Jiang Xie pull him to a portal. They left the garden and came to an unusually empty hall. It was similar to the players' hall but there was almost no one here. The colour of the water curtain was also different. It wasn't the watery blue of the players' hall but a snowy silver.

Jiang Xie told him, "Welcome to the designer's hall."

Xie Xi was surprised. "What's going on?"

Jiang Xie explained, "There are two ways to become a designer. One is to apply to the Central Government and slowly explore. After reaching the standards, you can try to design a world and if successful, you can become a designer."

Xie Xi knew that Jiang Xie had taken such steps and became a designer in a down to earth manner.

Jiang Xie continued, "The other way is to get the world's will and become a designer directly."

Xie Xi, "……"

"So far, the second way to become a designer is just a legend. No one has ever done it."

Xie Xi didn't know what to say.

Jiang Xie helped all the Central players say fair words. "Now I knew that this second promotion method is tailor-made for you."

Xie Xi was teased by him. "However, I am already a repairer. How can I become a designer?"

"If Yan Zhe wasn't too wasteful, he could be both a G.o.dly healer and a designer."

Yan Zhen, "???" If this person had something to say, why pull him to death?

Xie Xi still felt it was quite inexplicable. "What is the world's will? I don't feel like I can design a world."

"This aspect isn't urgent. Designing a world might be interesting but it also has great hidden risks. Don't try it easily."

Xie Xi nodded. "Yes, I'm not in a hurry."

Jiang Xie was very rea.s.sured. His family member was particularly excellent.

Xie Xi glanced a the hard drive and had a thought. "You mean, we just fixed the quasi-world. If we want to let it re-enter the cycle, we need to design it again?"

Jiang Xie nodded. "Yes."

Xie Xi's eyes narrowed. "Do you have to design it?"

Jiang Xie designed worlds by splitting apart his soul. If this was the case, won't they enter an infinite loop and when could all the souls come back?

Jiang Xie hurriedly comforted him. "Rest a.s.sured, now I have you."

Xie Xi was surprised. "What can I do?"

Jiang Xie touched the silver-white water curtain and a different system interface appeared in front of him.

Jiang Xie pointed to the unfinished page and there was a quasi-world with the code name of zz213442.

Xie Xi frowned. "What is the significance of this number?"

"It is randomly generated and has no meaning. It is just a code name for an unnamed quasi-world."

"Is this the quasi-world of the collapsed G.o.d?'

Jiang Xie replied, "Yes, I haven't designed a new world for a long time and it can only be this unfinished one."

Why hadn't he designed a new world for a long time? It was because he sliced too much of himself off and his body couldn't bear it anymore!

Xie Xi understood and felt pain. He controlled his mind and asked, "How do you finish it?"

Jiang Xie clicked a few times before a prompt appeared. [Please put in the core material.]

"I originally intended to place my soul piece here. Now…" Jiang Xie placed the hard drive in Xie Xi's hand. "You can put the will of the world that you repaired."

Xie Xi's eyes were wide and he was a bit nervous. He was afraid this wouldn't work.

Compared to his nervousness, Jiang Xie was very calm.

The prompt changed. [The design of codename zz213442 is completed. The designer is X and Xie Xi, is it okay?]

Xie Xi was stunned. It was successful?

Jiang Xie clicked 'No' and modified Xie Xi's name. "Think of a codename."

Xie Xi's senses returned.

Jiang Xie pondered. "How about i. I am X and you are i, together it is Xi."

Their names were really sweet and were probably a natural pair. Xie Xi's senses returned and he poked the water curtain a few times. "This is okay."

Jiang Xie's eyes curved. "IE like the browser?"

Xie Xi glanced at him. "You don't like it?"

Jiang Xie took this person into his arms and there was no need to mention how sweet his heart was. "I like it, I especially like it."

X and IE, together it was Xie. This was Jiang Xie's name and Xie Xi's last name, it was really good.

Jiang Xie was determined.

Xie Xi's heart beat a bit faster as he whispered, "Why does there have to be an announcement." This was a big fanfare and he preferred being low-key.

Jiang Xies said, "It isn't easy to welcome a designer. The Central Government is also very happy."

Xie Xi saw the line of words that occupied the entire water curtain.

[Congratulations to Designer X, Designer IE for successfully designing an SSS-grade quasi-world.]

This line cycled three times. If the player's hall was like this then Xie Xi didn't need to look to know it must've blown in.

In fact, the scene of the player's hall couldn't be described with a frying pan. Every person was a pot and every pot had exploded!

"Oh my G.o.d, an SSS-grade world? This beats G.o.d X's record of an SS-grade world!"

"This is G.o.d X's design!"

“Wait, who is Designer IE???"

"Has anyone ever heard of this person?"

"No, I've never heard of it. He and G.o.d X actually designed an SSS-grade quasi-world together!"

Xie Xi wondered, "This world was originally S-grade. How can it become SSS grade?" Jumping two levels was too exaggerated.

"It is probably that the husband and husband match and we can do more with less effort."

Xie Xi, "…" This person was never serious!

The thick-skinned Jiang Xie explained, "This quasi-world was also very difficult. It experienced collapse and was repaired. After the redesign, it is in a very complete state and being rated SSS-grade is normal."

Xie Xi thought about it and generally understood.

If the quasi-world originally designed by Jiang Xie was only a young child, it went through many experiences and had its own clear will. It didn't need Jiang Xie's souls to support it and it was normal for the level to improve.

Xie Xi also had some ideas about the pole in the repair task and the coordinates of the old professor but Jiang Xie had already changed the topic.

"Look are your rewards."

Xie Xi shot back at him, "Why don't you look at your own?"

"I looked at it. There is a lot of broken copper and iron." There were no surprises.

Xie Xi was speechless and didn't know how to comfort this person.

Jiang Xie hadn't been interested in rewards for 800 years but now he was interested again. After all, Xie Xi's hands were particularly red and it was exciting to see what he would get.

Xie Xi accepted the reward and the millions of gold coins made him freeze.

Jiang Xie told him, "Look at the special reward."

"So many gold coins…"

"Gold coin rewards depends on the person. Designing a world would give 500,000 at most… I guess that you probably got the maximum."

Xie Xi didn't need to ask. Jiang Xie must've only received 500,000 gold coins.

It was still a lot but in comparison… Xie Xi turned and kissed Jiang Xie on the cheek.

Jiang Xie was stunned and only reacted after a long time.

Xie Xi spoke with some embarra.s.sment, "What's mine is yours. Don't care about these things."

Jiang Xie didn't care about this! He cared about his stupid self who unexpectedly didn't take the opportunity to pretend to be miserable and let Xie Xi coax him more!

Xie Xi opened the special rewards column.

Jiang Xie was still immersed in miserable regret, as if he had lost millions.

Xie Xi's voice called back his attention. "This thing is quite good."

Jiang Xie looked over and replied after a pause, "It's really good…"

Item: Different s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+eld.

Grade: Gold (Lifetime Binding).

Description: Limited to use in the quasi-world. After being used, the energy of a different s.p.a.ce will be randomly extracted to form a s.h.i.+eld. The duration is 30 seconds and the cooldown time is one hour. As the use of proficiency increases, the effect will increase accordingly.

This type of self-preservation item wasn't annoying and Xie Xi asked Jiang Xie, "What is the energy of a different s.p.a.ce?"

Jiang Xie knew this person hadn't found the power of the item and explained, "If the energy of a different s.p.a.ce is extracted in the quasi-world, it means nothing in the quasi-world can harm it."

To put it simply, the energy extracted for this s.h.i.+eld was foreign and didn't exist in the current world. No matter what the current world used to attack, it couldn't attack something that didn't exist at all.

Frankly, this Difference s.p.a.ce s.h.i.+eld could be called an invincible s.h.i.+eld.

For the 30 seconds it took effect, nothing could harm Xie Xi. The even scarier thing was that the cooldown time was only one hour. In addition, such a long duration and short cooldown time could be upgraded…

Jiang Xie repeated, "This is truly a good thing." There was such a bug and Xie Xi's safety index would burst!

Xie Xi understood and was also very happy. He had a strong self-protection ability and wouldn't drag Jiang Xie down.

Fortunately, he hadn't said this when he heard, "Baby, it won't take long before I'm hugging your thighs."

At this time, the group chat with the zombie squad blow up. "Are you IE? Boss, have you become a designer?"

He couldn't hide it from them. After all, they knew the relations.h.i.+p between Xie Xi and Jiang Xie.

Xie Xi smiled and replied to them.

The group on Jiang Xie's side was also blown up.

Improper Man Nan Yi questioned, "What happened? Little Rose became a designer? Isn't he a repairer?"

Crazy Yan Zhe Who Wants to Leave: "An SSS-grade quasi-world, how did you do it?"

He asked this and the other people in the group had a warning in their hearts.

Sure enough, Jiang Xie started again. "In fact, I am also very puzzled. It seems that since I fell in love and have a person who loves me, good luck is coming."

Improper Man Nan Yi was renamed to Crazy Nan Yi who Wants to Leave.

Crazy Yan Zhe who Wants to Leave is renamed to Yan Zhe has Already Left.

Then Old Qin said, "I got a task."

This dog abuse moment, how could they care about a task?! Qin Ge directly posted the contents of the task to the group. Everyone saw it and was shocked.

[Quasi-world: New Civilization. Difficulty: SSS-grade. Designer X & IE, not cleared.]

There was no doubt that this was the quasi-world Jiang Xie and Xie Xi had just designed! Jiang Xie's souls weren't present so other people could search for it.

Jiang Xie was startled and couldn't help kissing Xie Xi who was typing.

Xie Xi wondered, "Hrmm?"

"It is really good I met you." Everything he did had value.

After half a second of silence, the group commented, "Old Qin, add me."

An SSS-grade quasi-world, four G.o.ds plus a G.o.d's milk could clear it! Jiang Xie and Xie Xi wouldn't go. After all, they were the designers.
