He Ruge: “???”

What is this game talking about?

Instinctively, he wanted to close the game interface, fearing that Xi Guican would see this sudden change in the game style.

The light brain had a split-screen mode, and Xi Guican was diligently browsing the content on his own light screen.

Sensing He Ruge’s gaze, he raised his head like a child seeking praise and said, “I’m helping you choose daily necessities. You might have to choose your own clothes. I’m afraid you won’t like what I choose.”

He Ruge breathed a sigh of relief, forcing a guilty smile. “Thank you.”

At this moment, he realized how wise Xi Guican’s decision to set it to ‘visible to self only’ was.

“No trouble. You can try on clothes in the virtual mall.”

Since the advent of holographic technology, it was possible to try on clothes online directly. However, this still couldn’t avoid situations where physical items didn’t match virtual goods because merchants tended to beautify virtual goods.

The virtual mall could project clothes onto the body and even add makeup to the model’s face.

Xi Guican used to have no interest in shopping. He believed that clothes were just to cover the body, and it didn’t matter what he wore if there were no others around. After all, he became a tiger, and it was no different being naked in the wind.

But when it came to selecting clothes for He Ruge, Xi Guican ignited endless enthusiasm.

“Do you like this one?” Xi Guican pointed to a beige casual outfit.

The clothes projected onto He Ruge’s body were simple and generous in style. They said that clothes make the man, yet this piece, when worn by He Ruge, suddenly exuded a different charm.

This was the charm of a dress-up game.

Xi Guican looked at He Ruge with a profound gaze. As someone who had never paid attention to fashion, he inexplicably selected a pair of jeans. Although He Ruge was a walking clothes hanger and looked good in anything, Xi Guican was still deeply intoxicated by his own perfect match—

Look, how good the clothes I chose are.

Look, my beloved looks good in anything.

He Ruge wasn’t picky about clothes.

“It’s okay.”

Then he saw Xi Guican wave his hand and buy all the casual outfits in the store.

He Ruge: “!!!”

He seemed to see a staggering number.

He Ruge hurriedly grabbed Xi Guican’s hand as he indulged in shopping, speaking earnestly and quickly, “Do they support refunds here? I only need two or three items.”

What is money? Can you eat it?

Xi Guican paid no attention.

“You can try these shoes. Do you like them?”

Perhaps he needed to buy accessories for He Ruge too. The person he liked had to be armed to the teeth.

Without even looking at them, He Ruge said, “No, I don’t like them.”

Then Xi Guican bought all the shoes except for that pair.

He Ruge seemed to hear the sound of his heart bleeding. He grabbed Xi Guican’s hands, ensuring that he wouldn’t make any more extravagant purchases. He Ruge’s strength was weak, and Xi Guican could easily break free, but he didn’t.

Although there was no emotional fluctuation on his handsome face, his innocent blue eyes seemed to say, “Ah, I’ve been caught.”

“There’s no need to buy so much. With so many shoes, I won’t be able to wear them all in my lifetime,” He Ruge said from the bottom of his heart.

“You’ll wear them all. There are only a few hundred pairs.”

Xi Guican replied sincerely.

He Ruge: “…”

“But I really shouldn’t have bought so much,” He Ruge’s relieved smile hadn’t appeared yet when he heard Xi Guican continue, “They might go out of style in a while.”

The repeated changes in He Ruge’s expressions from relief to reproach were too obvious. Xi Guican couldn’t help but raise the corners of his lips, and his icy blue eyes softened immensely.

He gently squeezed He Ruge’s soft hand, behaving like a certain large dog displaying affection, “He Ruge, I want to spend money on you, to buy happiness for you.”

“In this world, besides you, there’s no one else who can sell happiness to me.”

He Ruge: “…”

Turns out my happiness is so valuable, be careful I bankrupt you.

He Ruge wasn’t used to accepting too much kindness from others, and besides, buying so many clothes, wouldn’t they just gather dust?

“If you can refund them, let’s return the clothes. Let’s keep ten items at most. I’ll remember the money spent and pay you back in the future.”

Under He Ruge’s firm demand, Xi Guican reluctantly went to process the refunds, murmuring softly as he did so, “I don’t lack money.”

“Wasting is shameful,” He Ruge sighed softly.

Feeling criticized, Xi Guican felt a bit sulky, but soon his blue eyes lit up again.

“Do you remember the green dinosaur pajamas you dressed me in the game?”

He Ruge suddenly had a bad feeling.

His gaze full of anticipation, Xi Guican looked at him and said, “I want to see you in that kind of pajamas now.”

He Ruge: “…”

Xi Guican searched for animal pajamas and found various bizarre and shameless ones, such as the sexy bunny girl pajamas with just a few pieces of fabric, the tattered and wild leopard cat pajamas, and even the snake skin pajamas with two little snakes… surprisingly, the cute little dinosaur pajamas were the most conservative.

“Which one do you like?”

Xi Guican, eager to try them out, said, “Let’s buy them all.”

The frugal He Ruge shook his head firmly, pointing to the thick bear pajamas.

“Just this one. It’s fluffy and has good value for money.”

Xi Guican could only regretfully purchase the bear pajamas. When He Ruge wasn’t paying attention, he sneakily added the other pajamas to the shopping cart.

After buying some daily necessities, Xi Guican prepared to buy a light brain for He Ruge. There were many types of light brains available, and since Xi Guican was used to wearing ring-type light brains, when he subconsciously recommended one to He Ruge, it was also a ring-type light brain.

In the interstellar era, rings were not related to marriage; instead, they symbolized power, wealth, and status.

There were two factions in the interstellar political arena: the Dove Faction and the Hawk Faction. The Dove Faction was in charge of finances, while the Hawk Faction was in charge of the military. The parliament had twenty positions, ten for the Dove Faction and ten for the Hawk Faction. When members of parliament attended sessions, they would wear rings.

The rings of the Dove Faction were silver ring bands, with the number of feathers representing the individual’s status in the faction. The rings of the Hawk Faction were black ring bands.

Both the Dove Faction and the Hawk Faction had extended olive branches to Xi Guican in the past, but he had rejected them. He didn’t want to join any faction because joining one would give him a sense of being “caged”.

Perhaps that wasn’t just a feeling; power and confinement were equally present.

“How about this ring-type light brain?”

Xi Guican chose a style similar to the one he wore, sleek and elegant, like… a wedding ring.

After hesitating for a moment, He Ruge whispered, “It’s okay.”

Without another word, Xi Guican bought it.

“The logistics are fast. These items should arrive in two star hours. With the light brain, you’ll be able to log into the Star Network. The Star Network requires real identity registration, but don’t worry, I’ll take you to the Interstellar Identity Verification Center and help you get your identity verified.”

He Ruge hesitated, “It seems like the game has already provided me with an interstellar identity. Oh right, it also gave me the ability to translate languages.”

He Ruge suddenly realized that the words on the light screen were unfamiliar to him, yet he could understand them without any hindrance.

This included speaking to Xi Guican; he felt like he was speaking Chinese, but his language seemed to be magically transformed into interstellar language.

Xi Guican, upon hearing this, used his own authority to check He Ruge’s identity and indeed found “He Ruge”.

This ability to easily modify data on the Star Network wasn’t too surprising to Xi Guican.
