Chapter 177: Uncle really has good taste
For the sudden arrival of Xia Nuo and her company, Fang You wasn't really surprised.
He knocked on Nuo Nuo's head, "What's going on with you guys? Didn't we agree that I would come over to play with him first today?"
"But I was really worried about you!"
Xia Nuo, holding her head, "Ayu heard you were going to play with the weird uncle and was also very worried about your safety, right, Ayu!"
"Yes, that's right!"
Luo Xianyu hugged Fang You, putting on a pitiful and coquettish look, "Ayu doesn't want Daddy to encounter any dangers!"
Although Daddy appreciates your concern, why do I get the feeling you recited those lines with as much emotion as a robot?
This has Nuo Nuo's coaching written all over it!
"You guys, you really have a great bond..."
Seeing this group of little friends caring for each other's safety, Song Hang couldn't help but reveal a gratified smile.
But because his vibe was so gloomy, his spooky smile also set off alarms within Asai Reina standing nearby.
"Hey, hey! I warn you! Don't you dare do anything bad to us. See this? This is the secret weapon we students from Yingdu Elementary use against weird uncles. If I pull this, I'll have the police over here in no time!"
"Hey, don't pull it; I'll do anything you say!" Song Hang was terrified by Ling Nai's action.
"Then take us to your place to play!"
Xia Nuo said, "I want to see what kind of game has attracted You You so much!"
"Alright, alright..."
Since Nuo Nuo and the others had already followed him here, Fang You had no choice but to let them come upstairs with him.
However, before going to Song Hang's home, Fang You set three rules with his friends:
"You can come with me to play, but you can't say rude things or anything that might hurt Uncle's self-esteem, understand?"
"Understand, understand! Ling Nai and I also reflected on our behavior yesterday."
Xia Nuo nodded earnestly, "This time we'll compliment Uncle more, so he knows he's still somewhat useful."
"That's not a compliment either! Don't say that in front of him, you got it?"
"Got it!"
Xia Nuo raised her hand and touched her head in acknowledgment.
And so, Fang You and his friends finally arrived at Song Hang's home.
The layout of the house was similar to Fang You's, but the interior was decorated in a more old-fashioned style, reminiscent of the decor from the start of the century.
"Excuse us!"
It was the first time Xia Nuo and the others were visiting a stranger's home with Fang You; although they couldn't hide their excitement, they still followed Fang You politely.
"Feels like a haunted house."
"I feel it a little bit too..."
However, because of Fang You's earlier reminder, both Nuo Nuo and Ling Nai spoke very softly.
"Is it just you living here now?"
"My parents are traveling abroad recently..."
Song Hang explained, "They won't be back for a while."
Living alone at home, no wonder you're prone to negative thoughts.
If there was a mom at home nagging about finding a partner every day, it would be irritating, but at least you'd be busy with something.
"Just, just take a seat here."
"Uncle, weren't you going to let us play on the computer?"
"I was planning to play on the computer, but there are too many of you, so I thought playing on the smitch2 would be better!"
Song Hang scratched his head, "That way everyone can play together."
According to what Fang You hastily researched the night before, aside from the special trending game device Paru, the three main gaming consoles in the world were smitch2, PS7pro, and XBOX ultra, with smitch2 primarily focusing on family-fun interactive party games, making it indeed suitable for entertaining children.
And under Song Hang's coffee table were indeed all three consoles.
Hey, his circumstances aren't bad at all! Why would he only eat the 13.9 deal at McDonald's?
Song Hang rummaged to find the smitch2 controllers from below the coffee table, and as he was getting ready to set them up, he suddenly realized the controllers hadn't been charged in a long time.
"The controllers need charging, you guys wait a minute, okay..."
"Uncle, I've noticed you have a big problem!"
At this time, Xia Nuo suddenly began complaining, which made Song Hang feel a little nervous, "Wha-what's wrong with me?"
"How could you not prepare drinks and snacks? Is this how you treat your guests?"
"We have oolong tea and cola at home, and as for snacks... well, there are some biscuits. What would you like to drink?"
"Is the cola the canned kind?" Fang You asked.
"Yep, it's the small canned kind, zero-calorie sugar-free cola." Experience tales with empire
"No way! Cola without sugar doesn't taste good at all."
"Ayu also thinks..."
"Ling Nai doesn't want biscuits; Ling Nai likes chocolate."
"So..." Song Hang scratched his head, "I'll go and buy some for you, since we have to wait for the controllers to charge anyway. How does that sound?"
"Alright then, there's no other choice now... but you have to come back quickly!"
Xia Nuo swayed from side to side, "Don't make us wait too long!"
"Umm... Okay, I-I got it."
[Song Hang felt you all are really hard to please! Emotional Energy +5]
...
Fang You noticed the change in Emotional Energy.
Though he felt annoyed...
the amount of Emotional Energy earned this time was clearly much less.
Does this mean... he actually enjoys being bossed around?
Or maybe...
he feels satisfied just by being needed?
Is this the self-awareness of a pack animal?
Loved it!
Fang You became increasingly interested in acquiring this obedient and handy guy.
No, he can't let this guy die!
[You learned the usefulness of a pack animal, Knowledge Energy +10]
Song Hang brought back a bunch of snacks and drinks the kids had specified, and seeing that the controllers were almost charged, he started to set them up again.
"Oh, have you played with this type of controller before?"
Xia Nuo, looking puzzled, said, "I looked at the buttons, and they seem very similar to the Paru console, no?"
"Ah, yes... The Paru console is a product modified from the smitchlite, so since you've all played Paru, you should be able to operate this one. Here, take the controllers—"
"I want the red one!"
"Ayu likes the blue one."
"Give Ling Nai the pink one!"
"The remaining one is for me then."
"But this way, won't uncle have nothing to play with?"
"I-I don't need to play... I'll just watch you play."
"Do you have any games to recommend for us all to play together?"
"Umm... let me think, although you've played with the Paru console before, this is your first time with a Smitch, so let's start with this one..."
The game Song Hang recommended was a little game called "Kitty Park," where each player takes on the role of a differently colored kitty and works together to complete various mini-levels.
The game's refreshing, healing line art style combined with simple button controls immediately caught the children's attention as soon as it was turned on.
"Ah, this is so cute! Ayu loves it."
"He's a corporate slave, yet he likes such a cute game!
Asai Reina expressed her surprise, "That's so incongruous!"
"Ah, this is..."
"Uncle, you've got great taste!"
[Song Hang was not very happy, Emotional Energy +10]
