A Little Monster With A Wife Is Amazing – CH67

Chapter 67: “I’m Getting Married.”

Upon seeing the notification for “Operation successful! Linking complete,” the first thought that popped into Feng Xun’s mind was—

As I expected.

After the subway incident, he felt that Jian Tang’s reaction didn’t resemble that of an ordinary human who knew absolutely nothing about the Anomalous World. The result before his eyes essentially hammered down his speculation.

But to say Jian Tang was a task taker, Feng Xun didn’t think he looked like one either. The youth’s numerous behaviors and daily habits in no way resembled a task taker who had experienced the baptism of brutal instances.

Feng Xun pondered for a moment, then opened the system panel to check the current resident information.

On the resident info list, there were currently two names—[Killer 444] and [Jian Tang].

Feng Xun froze. Little Tang’s universal name in the Anomalous World was actually his real name?

The reason he could be certain “Jian Tang” was the boy’s real name was because when purchasing an apartment safe house, the homeowner registration required the person’s real name in the real world. Since Jian Tang was the other resident arranged by the system, his registered name would naturally be his real name as well.

Entering the Anomalous World with one’s true name was nearly impossible, because every newcomer entering the Anomalous World would be prompted by the system to change their name. Feng Xun’s “Killer 444” was a pseudonym randomly chosen back then by rolling a name dice.

Given Feng Xun’s understanding of Jian Tang, the youth couldn’t possibly be bold enough to ignore the system prompt and directly wander around the Anomalous World with his real name. After all, the anomalous monsters here could chase people out of instances and into reality to carry out retaliation; it was impossible for Little Tang to lack even this basic sense of risk prevention.

In conclusion, the only reason leading to this situation must be: the other party merely held a voucher but had not officially entered the Anomalous World yet.

In other words, Jian Tang was a new player who was merely registered but had not yet activated his account permissions.

Feng Xun speculated that the youth might have obtained a voucher by some coincidence and concurrently learned a bit about the situation in the Anomalous World. Because he didn’t want to participate in dangerous, horrifying instances and had no interest in acquiring points to exchange for system items, he had simply never entered the Anomalous World.

Although this situation was rare, it did happen, and Feng Xun understood it perfectly.

Connecting this to how the boy clearly knew he was a task taker but didn’t ask for any information and kept saying “I don’t want to know,” it was evident how much the youth rejected the Anomalous World.

Since that was the case, Feng Xun naturally wouldn’t lack the perceptiveness to pry to the bottom—doing so would only scare his wife away, and he didn’t want to become a widower before he even got married.

However, just because he wouldn’t pry didn’t mean he shouldn’t implement proper risk control.

Feng Xun tapped twice on the panel, unlocking all the safe house functions that could be opened for Jian Tang, and transferred all the usage rights for the storage warehouses and items to him, making Jian Tang one of the actual masters holding real power here.

After a moment of thought, he closed the safe house resident info panel and clicked open the “Instance Panel” which he had never used before.

Yes, as the lair of an anomalous Lord Boss, this castle actually possessed the authority to establish a “Private Instance.” The territory of the instance could encompass this ancient castle and the entire hillside it sat on—this belonged to the basic standard array of a Lord Boss.

But possessing the authority didn’t mean the established instance could be put into operation—the system had baseline numerical requirements for private instances, such as how many stages must be set, how many items must be matched, and a regulated number of anomalous monsters. Different instance scales corresponded to different monster counts.

The barrier of “recruiting anomalous monsters” alone was enough to stump task takers. Furthermore, unlike anomalous monsters, task takers couldn’t claim specialized monster subsidies from the system backend for opening private instances. Consequently, absolutely no task taker would open this kind of purely money-losing private instance, and Feng Xun was no exception.

But now, it suddenly occurred to him: he could perhaps utilize this function to exploit a system bug.

Feng Xun clicked on “Instance Configuration.” Inside was a list of settings, all flashing red—meaning they hadn’t met the system requirements, and the private instance couldn’t be opened.

Feng Xun selected the very top row, and under the option for “Instance Final Stage Boss,” he added the name “Jian Tang.”

Although private instances had requirements for the ratio of anomalous monsters, there was no rule stating the final boss had to be an anomalous monster; human task takers could also serve as bosses. This was the first layer of the bug Feng Xun was exploiting.

The second layer of the bug he wanted to exploit was—if Jian Tang, for some reason, accidentally entered the Anomalous World, he wouldn’t be randomly thrown into some horrifying instance like other first-time newcomers. Instead, he would be pulled into this “Crimson Castle” private instance first.

Even if this instance wasn’t currently open and could never actually go live for operations, as long as he wore the status of the “Final Stage Boss,” Jian Tang became a “builder” and “leader” of this private instance. He wouldn’t face a newcomer’s catastrophic opening layout, and could smoothly and peacefully spend his first day arriving in the “New World” within this safe location.

Although task takers wouldn’t truly die in instances, Feng Xun truly didn’t want his beloved to experience another unknown, terrifying challenge, nor did he ever want to see the youth choked by the neck by a horrifying monster, weeping in despair again.

That kind of terror and trauma was something he absolutely never wanted Little Tang to experience a second time.

Having completed his backup arrangements to ensure he had paved the best path of retreat for Little Tang, Feng Xun closed the panel and returned to the real world.

A mundane day as an ordinary human was about to begin again.

Jian Tang, who had no idea he had just shifted from “Boss Direct Hire” to a “Directly Hired Boss,” slowly woke up amidst the aroma of breakfast.

He stretched comfortably inside his blanket. Before he even opened his eyes, he heard footsteps walking into the bedroom, followed by a kiss falling onto his cheek.

“Good morning, Little Tang.”

Jian Tang’s eyes were still closed, but the corners of his mouth had already curled up. He reached out to hug the person before him and planted a firm kiss. “Mua! Good morning, Feng Xun!”

The two cuddled by the bed for a while. Seeing that they were about to be late for work, Feng Xun reluctantly withdrew his hands, helping the youth pull the collar of his pajamas straight.

“Hurry up and eat breakfast.”

“Mm…”

Blushing, Jian Tang hopped out of bed to wash up. After changing his clothes, he sat down at the dining table.

As usual, they finished breakfast together, left the house together, and rode in the car to work together.

While waiting at a red light, Feng Xun handed the newly crafted golden rabbit pendant to Jian Tang.

“Take a look. Is it the same as the one before?”

“Wow—” Jian Tang accepted it in awe, turning it over to stroke and inspect it. “It’s exactly the same! Did you make this last night?”

“Yeah.”

“So strong! Feng Xun, you’re amazing!”

Jian Tang had thought this kind of high-grade item would take at least three or four days to craft. Were Feng Xun’s item-making skills and efficiency actually this incredible?

He must be a very famous support-type task taker in the Anomalous World, Jian Tang thought.

Maybe he’s an esteemed master whose name resonates like thunder, the kind where everyone knows it the moment it’s mentioned.

For a split second, Jian Tang almost wanted to ask what his pseudonym in the Anomalous World was. Fortunately, his rationality allowed him to brake in time: Close call, close call! I almost forgot my persona is an ordinary human. If I ask this kind of question, the moment he hears it, he’ll know I’m an inhabitant of the Anomalous World.

He absolutely couldn’t let his secret slip.

He quickly reined in his thoughts, remaining perfectly well-behaved as he continued to ride quietly in the car.

They soon arrived below the office building. After sharing a parting kiss inside the car with Feng Xun, Jian Tang headed to work in high spirits.

Watching the youth’s lively figure disappear into the office building, Feng Xun was just about to drive away when the system panel suddenly popped up before his eyes.

It was a message sent to him by a “Special Contact.”

He Mengxing: [Got it! I got it! I have it!!]

Feng Xun: [?]

Feng Xun: [Congratulations. How many months along?]

He Mengxing: […Who’s talking about that with you! I mean I received the trailblazing mission issued by the system!]

He Mengxing: [Supposedly everyone ranked in the top fifty of the overall mission leaderboard got it! Hurry up and check your mission log!]

Feng Xun raised an eyebrow, switching the current panel to enter the interface where the system published mission information.

Sure enough, at the very top of the mission interface, there was a pinned, unread new notification—

> [Epic Version Update! The massive public map “Abyssal Prison Layer 1” is initially open! The trailblazing mission is in full swing!]

Feng Xun clicked open the message, skimming through the introduction and explanation at lightning speed, his fingers lightly tapping on the steering wheel.

The System Main God had packaged this large-scale general offensive against the Sinister Seed gathering place, the “Abyssal Prison,” as a “trailblazing game.” The trailblazing missions in this game were primarily divided into two types—

The first type was identical to the anomalous bosses: they had to head to the first layer of the Abyssal Prison to establish a stronghold and territory. If the mission succeeded, the territory successfully built by the task taker could become a permanent safe zone. Task takers within the territory could settle there permanently without being charged a dimensional residence fee.

The second type was conducting map exploration of the “Abyssal Prison Layer 1.” Based on the number of map sectors illuminated and various informational clues collected, they could redeem various rewards from the system.

Feng Xun suspected the anomalous bosses had received this mission as well. But when he coerced the three Realm Lords back then, they hadn’t disclosed a single word about it to him; they had indeed kept a card up their sleeve.

He Mengxing: [Feng Xun, are you going to end your retirement and come back to do the mission?]

Feng Xun replied without a shred of hesitation: [No.]

At least for the near future, he had no intention of going back.

He Mengxing: [Are you really not going to reconsider? This is a mission heavily pushed by the system, and the trailblazing reward is a permanent safe zone! You won’t even try for that?]

Feng Xun understood He Mengxing’s meaning: for someone who was a remnant like himself, having a permanent safe zone without the need to pay a dimensional residence fee was almost no different from re-possessing a native world where he could settle down.

The past him would definitely have been enticed by this reward, but the present him no longer needed it.

Feng Xun: [I have a more important matter to attend to.]

He Mengxing: [?]

He Mengxing: [What matter? Don’t tell me you’re still going to continue searching for that anomalous monster? Wake up, big brother, this is a time-limited mission. Once this opportunity passes, it’s gone for good. You have to distinguish which is heavier and which is lighter! Don’t be foolish!!]

Feng Xun smiled slightly, replying with immense pride.

Feng Xun: [I’m getting married.]

Gossip always traveled at the most astounding speed. Because Feng Xun didn’t request He Mengxing to keep it a secret, and even implicitly conveyed the meaning that “it can be proclaimed to the world,” half an hour later, whether it was the task taker forum or the anomalous monster forum, the entirety of both was bombarded and flooded by the exact same piece of information—

Killer 444 / The Bloody Butcher, he’s actually getting married????

Damn it, who on earth is his marriage partner! To be this brave!!!
