Chapter 399: Chapter 243 The Power of Education (Part 1)_1
“You’d better be telling the truth!”
“Mr. Liuzi, he’s bullying me!”
In Gray Bear’s hands, Xiemen Waidao was like a torn piece of clothing, being flung around by Gray Bear.
However, Liuzi felt this was quite good, after all, Xiemen Waidao needed to be disciplined.
The only concern he had was whether Mukuai 1234 would feel upset and then become hostile towards Gray Bear, potentially ruining their grand gaming enterprise.
But Mukuai 1234 just looked up, clenched her fist, and whispered softly, “Yay!”
…Xiemen Waidao, reflect on your actions!
Even the AI that likes you can’t stand to watch this.
The kitten was already in Mukuai 1234’s arms, and the Goddess of Art gently stroked its head as if it were a precious piece of art.
The gentle strokes consoled the kitten, which opened its eyes slightly and let out a soft meow.
Looking at Gray Bear at this moment, Liuzi realized that Xiemen Waidao’s plan had worked.
With the blessings they possessed, the four “people” quickly recognized Gray Bear’s characteristics and discovered that he had been hiding something very important in his cell.
However, when they saw that the hidden item was a sickly kitten, they realized that stereotypes were to be questioned, as who would have thought a burly man would secretly keep a cat?
When Gray Bear finally tired of swinging, he threw Xiemen Waidao aside and walked over to the two ladies.
Standing at a height of two meters three, Gray Bear looked highly intimidating, but when he saw the kitten, a tenderness shone in his eyes.
Lowering his voice, he asked softly, “Her spirit has been unwell, and I don’t know what’s going on. Can you tell?”
“We can only tell she’s ill, but we can’t do deeper treatment,” Mukuai 1234 said helplessly, shaking her head.
“That’s right…” sighed the Goddess of Art. “We aren’t veterinarians.”
“…She’s my brother’s daughter.”
Seeing the group’s eyes widen, Gray Bear became puzzled. “Don’t you know? These cat-human hybrids are born as cats, but gradually grow into a human form, and eventually become humans, sometimes retaining some feline traits.”
“What did that friend of yours do to the cat?” Xiemen Waidao, lying on the ground, flipped over excitedly and ran over to ask.
Telling Xiemen Waidao to get lost, Liuzi said to Gray Bear, “Although we can’t help directly, we can indirectly find others who can. But we need your assistance, is that okay?”
Liuzi naturally had some leadership qualities, and his calm tone also made a good impression on Gray Bear.
So, after weighing the pros and cons, Gray Bear said earnestly, “Within my capabilities, I can agree to your request.”
“Then please truly repent. Break away from your past self and start on a righteous path. Even if you are in this quagmire of a prison, you should hold onto hope and actively change the people around you for the better.”
Gray Bear furrowed his brow at Liuzi, finding this man very strange.
Either a cultist or someone crazy.
“I know you might think I’m insane, but why not try it? What if it works?”
“…Okay, then. What about Mia…”
“She’ll stay with us for now. We swear, we absolutely won’t harm her,” the Goddess of Art interjected.
It was difficult for Gray Bear to trust anyone.
Being born in the slums, he had seen too much of life’s harshness, and treated everyone as a potential enemy.
And in Yifate, a place notorious for respecting money over people, the only way to survive was to trust no one but oneself.
But the dirtier it gets, the more precious friendship becomes. His only friend was the sole light in this mire of mud, whose only flaw was leaving too soon.
And the only inheritance left by that friend was his precious niece. For the sake of this little angel, Gray Bear was willing to do anything.
But the Goddess of Art… Her charm was set too high.
She herself was a deity, and even though the connection to the original world was blocked here, She could still exude a divine aura that influenced those around Her.
Moreover, Her appearance was an exact replica of Her real form. Although She lacked artistic talent, She could still manage a one-for-one restoration.
Her overwhelming charm quickly convinced Gray Bear to believe Her words and decide to try Her suggested approach.
Leaving the place, he returned to his underlings.
One of them saw Gray Bear returning and excitedly asked, “Boss, did those people die?”
Gray Bear punched the underling to the ground, ready to kick him again, then remembered Liuzi’s instructions.
Hesitating, he picked up his nearly flattened underling, dusted off the dirt, removed the small stones, and stuttered, “Sorry… Are you okay…”
“The boss apologized to me! Boss, you’re so kind! I’ve decided to follow you for life!”
“Uh… whatever… Oh, come and clean up with me in a bit!”
“The boss is actually going to work with us, Boss, we love you!”
From a distance, Liuzi witnessed this scene and thought the NPCs here were weird.
Xiemen Waidao also thought it was odd, but seeing his points in the Education System increase, he felt it was acceptable.
“I just knew this method would work.” Xiemen Waidao said with satisfaction.
